Two hours later.

The Canglong berthed into the port.

After a month of wandering, Chen Daoxuan finally stepped on the ground.

"Is this the Guang'an Mansion?"

Seeing the turbulent crowds and pedestrians rubbing shoulders, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help saying.

"Yes, this is Guang'an Mansion!"

Seeing this most prosperous city with a radius of 100,000 li, Chen Xianhe couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

In Chen Daoxuan's view, the prosperity of Guang'an Mansion is more like a modern civilized coastal city than the ancient society in his previous life.

First of all, the city has no walls similar to the ancient ones, and is a completely open city.

Secondly, there are really too many buildings in the city, one after another, residential houses, restaurants, inns, businesses... endless, and so on.

disembarked.

Chen Daoxuan found that on the pier, a group of mortals in strange clothes were carrying sacks and carrying goods to the cloud treading beast cart non-stop.

They were handcuffed and walked with difficulty, and behind every dozens of porters, there was a mortal warrior with a whip in his hand, as if guarding them.

Chen Daoxuan swept away his consciousness.

It was found that the contents of the sack were actually grain.

Chen Xianhe followed Chen Daoxuan's gaze and explained: "That is a mortal prisoner of war in Izumo Kingdom, who was bought by some casual cultivators and small families and used as a slave."

"Using mortals as slaves?"

For a long time, Chen Daoxuan thought that mortals were just reproductive tools for monks to provide seeds for cultivating immortals.

Unexpectedly, there are still monks who take mortals as slaves.

Seeming to see his doubts, Chen Xianhe smiled and said: "Of course, we monks can eat and drink, but mortals can't. In addition to the large number of monks in their clan, the mortal population in their clan is extremely large.

Take the Zhou family as an example. There are tens of millions of mortals in their own family. Such a huge mortal base cannot be supported by the grain produced on Lingbei Island. "

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan instantly understood.

Most of the Izumo slaves in front of me are serfs of monk Wan Xinghai.

Sanxiu relied on serfs to reclaim the deserted island and grow food, while the Xiuxian clan exchanged meager spiritual stones for these grains to feed their huge population, and both sides took what they needed.

This is also one of the sources for casual cultivators to obtain spirit stones.

As for why the Chen family on Shuanghu Island did not develop this "industry", Chen Daoxuan glanced at the aged Thirteenth Uncle and immediately understood the reason.

It's not that the Chen family is kind-hearted, but that they have enough energy to spare, and the number of monks in the Chen family is too small.

In addition to dealing with family affairs, Chen Xianhe also has to protect the safety of the clansmen in Changping County.

How can I have the energy to engage in these "side jobs".

Moreover, most of the mortal prisoners of war in the Izumo Kingdom were warriors, and there were no monks to suppress them. It was difficult to guarantee that these serfs would not rebel and defect only by relying on ordinary Chen clan members.

In addition, the income of exchanging ordinary food for spirit stones is too low, which feels quite tasteless.

The Chen family did not develop this industry.

As if thinking of something, Chen Daoxuan continued to ask: "These slaves were originally members of some cultivating families in the Izumo Kingdom, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Xianhe was silent at first, and then nodded: "That's right! The war between Wanxinghai and the Izumo Kingdom has been going on for more than four hundred years. Fortunately, we have been on the offensive, so most of the victims are from the Izumo Kingdom. mortal.

Among these mortals, most of the men were trafficked into serfs, while the women became the tools of the great immortal clans to reproduce. "

With just a few words, Chen Xianhe outlined an extremely cruel world of cultivating immortals for Chen Daoxuan.

There has never been anything beautiful here, only more brutal fighting than in the previous life. In order to compete for resources, the monks used even crueler means than in the previous life.

This is the sorrow of being weak, no matter the past life or this life, there is no difference.

Chen Daoxuan thought to himself.

Seeing Chen Daoxuan's ugly expression, Chen Xianhe still didn't stop talking.

As the future patriarch of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island, there are some things that he has to bear.

I didn't tell him these things before so that he could concentrate on learning how to refine weapons, and it didn't mean that Chen Daoxuan could escape.

"Is it a crime to be weak?"

Chen Xianhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, in this world, being weak is a crime!"

Everyone moved forward.

Chen Xianhe placed the accompanying clansmen behind an inn in Guang'an Prefecture.

Then he took Chen Daoxuan and walked towards the inner city of Guang'an Mansion.

As the two of them moved towards the inner city, Chen Daoxuan found that there were more and more monks. In the end, he could hardly see any mortals, and all the monks could be seen.

"Although Guang'an Mansion is a city where immortals and mortals live together, monks and mortals do not actually live together. The inner city of Guang'an Mansion we are going to now is the real Guang'an Mansion Immortal City!"

Along the way, Chen Xianhe walked and talked.

really.

As the team continued to move forward, a tall city wall appeared in front of the two of them.

at the city gate.

A monk wearing a blue robe with a fiery red spirit pearl embroidered on it blocked the way of the two of them.

"Stop, please pay the entrance tax."

Hearing this, Chen Xianhe took out two spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them over.

"go in."

Cultivator Zhou waved his hand and let the two of them enter the city gate.

Chen Daoxuan looked back and saw a long line with almost no end in sight.

Just stepped into the city gate.

Chen Daoxuan seemed to have entered another world, and the concentration of aura suddenly soared more than ten times.

"This is."

Seeing Chen Daoxuan's shocked face, Chen Xianhe beside him explained: "This is the spiritual vein! There is a third-order spiritual vein buried under the fairy city of Guang'an Mansion, so we just step into the entrance and feel the spiritual energy is compelling."

Taking a look at the sky, Chen Xianhe said: "Let's find an inn to stay in first. Every night in the Immortal City of Guang'an Prefecture, there will be monks from the Zhou family cleaning up the monks who don't have the right to live, so as to prevent casual cultivators from coming here to soak up their spiritual energy."

There are two types of housing leases in Xiancheng, Guang'an Prefecture: short-term leases and long-term leases.

Short-term rental is an inn, and the general rental period is within one month.

If the rental period is more than one month, the monks will often choose to rent the Dongfu from the Zhou family, because the price is cheaper than the short-term rental inn.

Due to the abundance of aura in Guang'an Prefecture, the prices of inns here are also very touching.

Chen Xianhe and his wife only opened two guest rooms, and they paid a full 20 spirit stones for the ten-day lease period. On average, one person needs one spirit stone a day.

This is only the inn with the lowest concentration of aura.

It is rumored that there are four grades of Dongfu in Guang'an Immortal Mansion, A, B, C, and D. The living environment and spiritual energy concentration of each grade of Dongfu are different.

I don't know what price of Lingshi is needed to rent the highest grade A-level cave.

certainly.

Cultivators who can afford to rent A-level caves are either descendants of other immortal cultivating families, or casual cultivators with special skills.

Ordinary casual cultivators and children of small families, they dare not even think about it.
