Chapter 68: Into the North
Yunshui Dou is a flying magic weapon that can be used to fly and escape from water because it is relatively easy to refine, and it is very common in the cultivation world, and even occasionally it is sold in the cultivator's bazaar. Because it is too common, and the quality is uneven, He Wanran's cloud water pocket was refined by Chen Zhenyan for her after she refined it three times without success, it is obviously not an ordinary product, not to mention the fine selection of materials, and the work is also very good, just need to input some true qi into it, and this cloud water pocket will rush to the direction of Yongzhou at a very fast speed with the help of water vapor in the air.
"He'er, do you want to refine a cloud water pocket too?" He Wanran said to Changning, "It will be more convenient to travel in the future." There are few flying swords in the scattered cultivation during the foundation building period, and most people travel by riding horses and cars, and Yunshui pockets are rare. β
He Wanran also wanted to pretend to be a poor female cultivator at the beginning, but unfortunately Miss He was used to being pampered, and when she first entered the rivers and lakes, she belonged to the type of why not eat minced meat. She thought that Yun Shui Dou was already the lowest level magic weapon, and no one would use a magic weapon lower than Yun Shui Dou, and she specially asked the senior brother to make Yun Shui Dou ugly, but she didn't know that most of the scattered cultivation for decades might not be able to get a magic weapon.
Chen Zhenyan had the intention to train her, but deliberately didn't remind her, and by the time she came to her senses, it was too late, and her usual conversation and demeanor really didn't look like a rootless loose cultivation, so she simply didn't pretend, and her usual adventure and training companions only regarded her as a disciple of a certain cultivation family who came out to practice. The sect in the Middle-earth cultivation world is dominant, and the cultivation family is only a little better than the ordinary scattered cultivation.
"I have a white cloud, and it will be enough for the sacrifice by then." Changning is talking about the red silk with the cloud escape talisman, she has only used it once, and she didn't refine it well later, and the speed is still extremely slow, but the speed of ordinary cloud water is not fast, He Wanran is a pure exception.
"Okay." He Wanran took out the chess set from the storage bag and asked, "Do you play chess?" "Her Yunshui Pocket is of high grade, so you don't have to put too much effort into controlling it, just be careful not to fly crookedly.
"Okay." Changning raised her hand slightly, a fluffy bird came out of her sleeve, white feathers and golden pupils, the sound was crisp, as soon as it came out, it chirped at Changning, Changning fed it a bird food, it swallowed it with its fat neck, and then consciously flew to the front, helping the two of them to see the direction. It is easy to go in the wrong direction when flying in the air, birds have a natural instinct in this regard, and Changning will always take hummingbirds with them when they go out.
"You hummingbird has a mind?" He Wanran asked.
"How can it be so easy, it is a mutation in physique, and the lifespan is longer than that of the same kind." Changning sighed, her hummingbird was bred by the GuΓ² sect and bred a large flock, and most of them were assigned to each peak as bees. Changning raised the most carefully the ones that followed her at the beginning, but unfortunately these hummingbirds are almost all dead, and the hummingbirds only have a lifespan of five or six years. This one was lucky enough to improve his physique before the end of his lifespan and could live longer than ordinary hummingbirds, but it still took a great opportunity to open his mind and turn into a demon clan.
He Wanran said: "I remember that there are still three years before the next emperor flow pulp? You can see if you can collect some Emperor Slurry then, it may be of help. "Emperor Liquid Pulp can increase the power of the Demon Clan, and it can also improve the spirituality of beasts, and ordinary beasts have a certain chance to evolve into Demon Clans after taking Emperor Liquid Pulp.
"I'll try it then." Changning said that once in sixty years, she could collect the essence of the sun and the moon, but she was not sure that she could collect the emperor slurry.
The two chatted while playing chess, most of the time He Wanran told some interesting stories about her travels, and Changning asked from time to time about the things that need to be paid attention to when walking the rivers and lakes, and time passed quickly. The two of them didn't stop all the way, taking turns to control the cloud water pocket, meditating and resting when they were tired, galloping for a day and a night, when Changning saw a large mountain range from a distance, He Wanran controlled the cloud water pocket to descend and land outside a small town.
"Why don't you leave?" Changning asked.
"A hundred miles ahead of this town is the Northern Plains - well, it's the land of the Outer Mountains, there are all kinds of people there, let's be careful." He Wanran said that she also changed her outfit at this time, and like Changning, she also put on a veil and led Changning into the town, "There is a car dealer in the town, let's rent a car to go over." There are horse-drawn carriages for monks, and they can be reached in half a day at most. β
"You're going deep into the Northern Plains?" Changning asked in surprise.
If you take Middle Earth as the center, Taishang Sect is in the north of Middle Earth, Taibai Sword Sect is in the east of Middle Earth, and North Plains is in the three areas between Taishang Sect, Taibai Sword Sect and Middle Earth, North Plains is the self-proclaimed name of the residents here, and the place outside the North Plains is the contempt of people outside the North Plains for this place, as a local resident, they will naturally not admit that their hometown is an uneducated and wild land.
Changning heard Mr. say that there are tens of thousands of Hu people in the Northern Plains, the folk customs are fierce, and it is a prosperous place for the left side of the door, although there are very few monks who have cultivated to the Yuan Infant, but they are far better than the monks of the idle sect in terms of fighting fiercely. The gentleman repeatedly warned them that they should not set foot here lightly if they did not cultivate enough. She heard He Wanran say that the destination was very close to Yongzhou, and it was on the periphery of Beiyuan, but she didn't expect this girl to be so bold that she had already gone deep into Beiyuan.
"Of course, what kind of demons and monsters are there around? Even if there were, it wouldn't be our turn. He Wanran said as a matter of course.
Changning thinks about it, if there are really any demons and monsters here, they will have been cleaned up a long time ago. When she saw He Wanran walking into the car dealership with ease, she bargained with the coachman, and when she was pulled into a narrow carriage, she couldn't help asking, "Does your master and senior brother allow you to go deep here?" Changning asked, She has only seen He Wanran's master once, and she is not sure of her personality, but with Chen Zhenyan's treasure He Wanran's Cheng dΓΉ, Changning dares to guarantee that she did not tell Chen Zhenyan the truth.
"They know I'm here." He Wanran said vaguely, the senior brother only allowed himself to experience in the periphery of Beiyuan, and did not allow her to enter, but the periphery was not interesting at all, He Wanran secretly went deep into the center after playing for half a month, and there was no accident for more than a year, and the senior brother was too worried.
Changning smiled, knowing that she didn't tell the truth.
He Wanran said: "Don't laugh at me, I really don't know that you have been reading the information of Beiyuan for the past two days, if you just want to go around the periphery, you need to see so much detail?" β
Changning admitted calmly, "Yes, I was going to go in and have a look, and it would be better if you were willing to take me." β
As soon as her voice fell, the two looked at each other through the veil and smiled, the two of them were bold and bold, and they were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, and it was rare to leave the protection of their elders, and both of them couldn't help but want to be a little rebellious. Changning looked at the scenery outside the car through the gap in the car curtain, and this road was either a high mountain or a grassland, and the so-called wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep was like this. He Wanran sat cross-legged on one side, she was tired of seeing this section of the road, if she had been rushing all the way for a day, she had to hurry up and rest, Changning looked at it for a while and began to meditate and rest.
About two hours later, the carriage shook, and the hoarse voice of the coachman sounded outside the carriage, "It's here." β
Changning and He Wanran breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the carriage was very small, only enough for the two of them to sit back to back, which made the two of them a little uncomfortable, the monks were not used to being too close to people, He Wanran jumped out of the carriage, counted out two hundred spirit beads from the storage bag and gave them to the coachman, who took the spirit beads and drove away.
"It's quite expensive." Changning didn't know the price here, but in the sect, two hundred spirit beads were enough to buy twenty dust removal talismans, and the carriage would only travel for two hours.
"The carriages that come here are all paid for the round-trip, unless they can be ridden by a local caravan." He Wanran explained, and muttered again, "Speaking of which, the owner of this car dealership is still a senior brother from the inner door, and he doesn't know how cheap the fee is." β
Changning smiled, "They don't know who you are." β
The two came to a cave halfway up the mountain, the entrance of the cave was blocked by a boulder, He Wanran moved away from the boulder, a damp musty smell rushed to the face, Changning's fingers flicked slightly, a little spark popped out from her fingertips, and the spark suddenly became a flame in the cave, "boom-" Boom, the water vapor and mildew in the cave were all dried by the flame, Changning's fingertips lightly stroked, and the flame that became smaller again was imprinted into the stone lamp in the cave, and the fire in the stone cave was full of light.
This is the simplest fireball technique, but it is like flowing water when it is cast by Changning, and it is extremely accurate for spiritual power control, He Wanran's eyes are full of colorful ripples, she knows for the first time that the fireball technique can still be used like this, no wonder the master always says that she is greedy and can't chew too much, let her learn Changning well, don't keep thinking about learning new spells, learning ten things is not as good as drilling essence.
"Bang-" There was a round of applause at the entrance of the cave, "what a beautiful fireball technique!" β
The two of them had already noticed that there were people at the entrance of the cave, and He Wanran turned around and said, "Yang Daoyou, Han Daoyou, Yan Daoyou, you are here." β
"We've been here for a while, but we saw this thing before we entered the cave, and we were in a hurry to chase it, but we didn't have time to clean up the cave." One of the male cultivators smiled and pointed to a calf-like animal behind him and said, "Today we have a good mouth." β
The animal behind him resembles a sheep, but there is only a horn on the top of the head, and there is a horsetail, which is a special animal of the northern plains - horsetail sheep, this kind of mutton meat is delicious, and the horns on the top of the head can also be used in medicine. It is very popular with the people here, and many people have raised it for meat. Not all monks will choose Bigu vegetarian, and people like Changning and He Wanran, who were born vegetarian and have never been exposed to any meat, can insist on never breaking their vows.
"There's nothing to pack up here, and we're going to leave early tomorrow morning anyway." He Wanran pulled Changning and said, "Three Taoist friends, this is my cousin Shen Wu." She introduced three more people to Changning, and after the four of them greeted each other, He Wanran said: "My cousin is good at fire spells, and I specially asked her to help this time." He Wanran's veil had been removed at this time, and her appearance was also extremely outstanding, but it was not up to the level of Changning's calamity, so she didn't change her appearance, so she wore a veil when she went out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Yang, Han, and Yan are all old and sophisticated people, so naturally they will not rashly let the girls take off the veil, and there are many female cultivators in the cultivation world who cover their faces. The three of them glanced at each other, and the monk surnamed Yang pondered and said: "He Daoyou, Ling Mei's fire magic is exquisite, if you can follow us into the ancient temple, it will definitely be of great help, but when we agreed, we said that the things in the temple will be divided equally between the four of us, and Ling Mei will ......."
He Wanran came out to experience only to increase his experience, and he didn't care much about the benefits, but most people came to Beiyuan to obtain cultivation resources, and the cooperation between casual cultivators only talked about benefits, not friendship. The three of them didn't care if He Wanran brought one more person, but they cared if Changning would share the benefits they deserved.
He Wanran said: "My cousin was brought by me, and her share is good to take from me." β
Another monk surnamed Han smiled: "That's not necessary, it's too wronged to be Sister Ling, in my opinion, why don't you let Sister Ling choose what she needs in the end?" β
He Wanran looked at Changning, and Changning said, "I have no opinion." β
The three of them were also very satisfied when they saw the two of them working together like this, and some things would not hurt their feelings if they said it in advance.
Changning Transyin asked He Wanran: "Why do you cooperate with male cultivators?" It's not that Changning has a distinction between men and women, but that Tong GuΓ² has gotten along with Daotong over the years, and she has found that it is more convenient for same-sex cooperation, and once there are more people of the opposite sex in the team, it is easy to have all kinds of problems.
"There are very few nuns here." He Wanran replied, "The three of them are not bad, and it is not the first time I have cooperated with them, and it is very pleasant every time." β
Changning nodded clearly, the environment in Beiyuan was too sinister, and it was indeed not suitable for female cultivators to come and practice, she looked thoughtfully at the monk surnamed Yan who was dealing with the horsetail sheep, and she didn't expect to meet old acquaintances in this place.
