Chapter 53: The Great Valley
The next day, when Mengyu and Jingchen packed their things and were about to hit the road, they suddenly got a message. For this, they stayed.
The immortal cultivators in Los Angeles have united to prepare for an expedition. Whether it is an outsider or a local, as long as they are Qi refining stage cultivators, they are all eligible to participate.
What makes Mengyu and Jingchen excited is that this event is rich in rewards. All cultivators who can complete the task and return are rewarded with five spirit stones, and the most important thing is that, in addition to the specified few things, the things obtained during the expedition can belong to themselves.
This event made the whole of Los Angeles boil. There is a great opportunity in front of us, and everyone wants to seize it.
The two people inquired in many ways and determined that the news was true. The place of this expedition is in the Great Creek Valley northwest of Los Angeles, where all kinds of spirit grasses are abundant, and there are also spirit beasts. For cultivators in the Qi refining period, although there is danger, it is also an opportunity.
Every three years, the families of Los Angeles come together for an expedition. The two of them just caught up. And the Great Creek Valley also happened to be heading north, so they didn't have to return to Los Angeles after the experience, they could go all the way north.
Both of them are in the Qi refining stage, Mengyu is in the middle stage, and Jingchen is already in the late stage. The cultivation gap between the two is one level, no wonder Mengyu can't escape from his palm.
As casual cultivators, the two of them don't know much about spiritual matters, and this is just an opportunity. To be able to walk with many cultivators, understand the things of cultivation, and change the current dilemma. Although there is a lot of risk, the two take care of each other and it should not be a problem to save their lives.
Two days later, the people heading to Grand Creek Valley gathered in the plaza north of Los Angeles.
Mengyu and Jingchen came early. Seeing that some of them were traveling lightly, the two of them were carrying large bags and small bags. Mengyu said: "Don't they all have to bring things?" ”
Jingchen said helplessly: "Little Meng'er, it's been so long, don't you know that there is a thing called Qiankun bag." ”
Mengyu shook her head innocently.
Jingchen raised his forehead and said: "Qiankun bag, as the name suggests, is a storage space, you can put things in it and carry it around. Those guys who travel lightly and simply, eight CDs have a Qiankun bag. ”
"And this kind of thing?" Mengyu was surprised, she had never seen a Qiankun bag, it was so magical.
"The world is so big that there are no surprises. Little Meng'er, there is still a lot to learn. Qiankun bags are indeed good things, but they must also be affordable. A small Qiankun bag is worth thousands of spirit stones, and we can only think about it. Alas, at this time, I really felt that the spirit stone was really a good thing. When you have a spirit stone, the first one is to buy a Qiankun bag, which is a must-have for travel. ”
Such a strange thing, Mengyu also wants it. However, this can only be thought about.
The leader of the event was the Wu family in Los Angeles. The Wu family sent two foundation building period cultivators to lead the team to take charge of the safety of this activity. Other families also have Qi refining stage cultivators involved, so they all attach great importance to it.
After a brief introduction to the event, everyone set off for the Great Stream Valley.
There were forty-six Qi Refining Stage cultivators who went this time. Among them, twenty-eight people are from several major families in Los Angeles, and the rest are casual cultivators.
Mengyu and Jingchen are mixed in it, not conspicuous at all. Seeing that the children of the family are all dressed extraordinarily and have serious expressions, but the casual cultivation is uneven.
Mengyu thought to herself, it was really different. No wonder my father and mother once said that the family of cultivating immortals has a deep heritage, and the starting point is much higher than that of scattered cultivation.
Five hours later, we arrived at the Great Creek Valley.
Sandwiched between two mountains, the Great Valley is a deep valley. They were at the entrance to the valley, and as far as the eye could see, they could only faintly see the majestic mountains and lush trees on either side.
Stopping in place, the leader instructed everyone to pay attention to safety and not to leave the team. Otherwise, if something happens, you can't blame others.
"Jingchen, are we going to follow the team all the time?" What Mengyu wanted to lead the team said was what it meant, if you don't leave the team, you want to be together.
Jingchen said: "You are stupid, with so many people, what can be found, even if you find it, it will be counted." What they mean is that they don't go beyond a certain range, as long as it's within what they can take care of. ”
"Oh, how far is that?"
Jingchen shook his head. He didn't know either.
At this time, a person on the side suddenly laughed. "It turned out to be you." This person was dressed in a white robe, and he was graceful.
"You know us?" Jing Chen looked over, and the meaning of his eyes was unclear.
"We've met once." The visitor was full of smiles, "Let me introduce first, I'm Xu Hong, this is Duan Yuan, we are also passing by here, just in time for this event." ”
"Where have you seen it?" Jing Chen asked, how did he not know that he had seen them.
Xu Hong explained: "That day in the restaurant, Duan Yuan and I were next to you, and when we heard your conversation, we thought it was the same as us. ”
"I see. Dare I ask why you were laughing just now? Jing Chen asked unceremoniously. These two people are addicted to eavesdropping on other people's conversations.
Xu Hong hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else, we just think what you said has some meaning." The person who led the team just now said not to leave the team, it was within the scope of the cultivator's divine consciousness in the foundation building period, about ten zhang. ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Jingchen thanked him. "The two of you also came out to practice?"
"Yes, you have to go out to practice every once in a while, this is the only way for a cultivator to improve his cultivation." Xu Hong sighed, "To be honest, this is the third time I've gone out to practice. ”
Mengyu didn't speak, but she listened carefully. In the eyes of these people, she and Jingchen are really idiots and don't understand anything.
Xu Hong is very talkative, and he chatted with Jingchen very speculatively. Duan Yuan didn't say a word from beginning to end.
But Mengyu noticed that Xu Hong would make eye contact with Duan Yuan when he said this. Moreover, Xu Hong said a lot of cultivation common sense, which she and Jingchen didn't know.
From this point, it can be seen that Xu Hong and Duan Yuan know a lot, and their origins may not be simple. Mengyu thought, they took the initiative to approach, was it really just because of one side?
Talking very happily, Jing Jingchen and Xu Hong had a sense of familiarity at first sight. It wasn't until they entered the valley and wanted to look for the spirit grass that the two separated.
"Is it really too late to see each other?" Mengyu asked lightly.
Jing Chen shook his head and said: "This person is deeply hidden, although he is approachable and very talkative, but he has not revealed a word that should not be said. I just don't know what their purpose is. ”
"After talking for so long, you haven't snooped a thing or two?"
"Nope. Xu Hong seems to be kind enough to tell us a lot of things, but he is also testing our origins. Actually, we simply don't have anything to hide. Jing Chen laughed at himself, "Poor ghosts like the two of us should be rare." ”
"Yes, we don't have anything to covet, maybe they don't know, and they want to test the truth."
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
