……
Because of the outbreak of the beast tide in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, there are many fewer people who have entered the ice field, and everyone is afraid that the demon hunting will be excessive, resulting in the outbreak of the beast tide in the ice field.
Although the area of the ice field is limited, and the number of demon beasts is not even one ten-thousandth of the ten thousand beast forest, it is not a good thing to be attacked on the back and abdomen, so under the intentional control, the number of monks entering the ice field is indeed much smaller than usual.
This also directly led to fewer and fewer ice-type spiritual objects flowing out of the ice field.
Even in the Silver Wave Immortal City, which had the most ice spirit objects, Fang Lingjun did not find any trace of the three-grade ice spirit objects.
In desperation, she could only refine the inventory for the new store on the one hand, and pay attention to the movements of the major stores in the city on the other hand, as long as they bought new goods, Fang Lingjun would come to inquire as soon as possible.
As for the matter of cultivation, after only a little more stable cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, Fang Lingjun didn't dare to meditate anymore to absorb spiritual power.
There is no other reason, it is all because the cold qi in her body becomes more and more intense with the stability of her cultivation, if she continues to cultivate, I am afraid that the cold qi will be completely out of control!
A year passed in a flash, and there was still no news of the three-grade ice spirit object, but the pagoda was about to open, Fang Lingjun could only say goodbye to everyone and rush towards the center of the continent.
In this area in the center of the continent, there are no sects seated.
One is because the mysterious pagoda heaven is here. How could the four sects and eight sects allow the appearance of cultivation forces near the treasure house? Even the last small forces of the fifth or sixth rate or scattered cultivation are not allowed!
Although this move is too overbearing. But for the four sects and eight sects, the pagoda heaven largely affects the direction of their luck in the next hundred years. There is no room for error.
As for the second point, although the central land has an ancient spiritual vein at the top of the whole continent, it has long been surrounded by the pagoda sky, so that the pagoda heaven spreads outward for thousands of miles, and there is no trace of spiritual power, becoming a well-known poor mountain and evil water.
It wasn't until it was five thousand miles away from the pagoda that a more famous sect appeared-the Flame Dao Gate!
The Flame Sword Sect is a top-ranked second-rate sect, and the Flame Sword Immortal City under its shadow is also a quasi-first-class immortal cultivation city. Although it is not as good as the real first-class cities such as Heavenly Sword City and Yinbo City, compared to second-rate crane-tailed towns such as Qingyun Immortal City, it is a lot more magnificent, at least it is the same level of existence as Sanxiu Wan City.
However, when Fang Lingjun arrived at Flame Sword City, he found that the city was overcrowded, and he didn't say that he had found a place to live, even if he walked on the street, he had nowhere to stay.
Such a lively and extraordinary scene was when Liantian Sword City held the "First Immortal City Auction". It's not as good as one percent.
But Fang Lingjun had doubts in his heart, although the pagoda would only be opened once in one hundred and twenty years, it was mysterious and legendary enough...... However, it is impossible to attract so many people to watch the excitement! The reason for this is because I can participate in it. Almost all of them are elites of the four sects and eight factions, of course, if you have to count them seriously. Those third-rate sect disciples who can't get together the number of people can also be regarded as one of them. But in the end, their fate. are all buried in the pagoda sky, and there is no chance to see the light of day......
According to Fang Lingjun's idea, although the opening of the pagoda heaven would cause the whole continent to shake, it was impossible to attract so many people to watch the excitement!
To put it bluntly, the pagoda is the back garden of the four sects and eight sects, and it has nothing to do with the ninety percent of the monks on the mainland, so why should they pay attention to it all the time.
However, after Fang Lingjun inquired, he was surprised to find that the monks who participated in the battle for the Heavenly Remnant Diagram and the treasure of the Pagoda this time had undergone earth-shattering changes!
What has changed is naturally not the four sects and eight sects, nor those third-rate sects, but two months before the opening, a hundred places were suddenly increased, of which fifty were distributed to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the other fifty were actually handed over to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest?!
That's right, it's for the demon beast!
When Fang Lingjun first heard it, she was also extremely surprised, how could she not have imagined that there would be demon beasts involved?! Later, after digging deeper, I realized that the original way was to let the beast tide withdraw to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, and after discussing with the shape-shifting demon beast, the human high-level decided to make this concession.
If it is said that the four sects and eight factions are the backbone of the Liuyun Continent, they represent the noble monks at the top of the pyramid; Then the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is the most widely distributed idle force, representing the thousands of low-level cultivators in the cultivation realm, don't look at their loose discipline, if they can really be condensed, their power is that even the four major sects must be treated with caution.
Just like this beast tide, although Wancheng has long been attacked by demon beasts, it has resisted for more than half a month without defense, which is enough to prove to the world that the strength of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance cannot be underestimated. There are at least two scattered cultivation cities of the same scale as Wancheng, and there are many other large and small second- and third-tier scattered cultivation pond cities.
In this beast tide, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance used its mass appeal to gather countless middle and low-level casual cultivators to participate in the War of Resistance, which played a huge role and effectively suppressed the spread of the beast tide.
After deliberation, the high-level leaders of the four major sects decided to hereby draw up fifty places, so that the monks of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance could also join the competition for the Pagoda Heaven and make a profit.
As soon as this news came out, the most excited thing was naturally the vast number of loose cultivators!
They are not like the elite disciples in the sect, as long as they meditate steadily, there will be enough pills coming in one after another.
Don't talk about the elixir, it is a low-level spirit grass, and most of them may even pay the price of their lives for it...... Therefore, as soon as this news came out, there were countless scattered cultivators who rushed to sign up first, from the third layer of Qi cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, as long as they met the requirements of the pagoda heaven's prohibition, almost all of them reported their names, and even those monks who did not meet the requirements of the foundation building stage actually had the intention of lowering and covering up their cultivation, in order to enter the pagoda heaven...... In such a situation, where do you need to worry about not being able to gather the number of people?!
That's right, if they don't lick blood from the knife all year round and live a precarious life. And why trample on your own life! Enter the lifeless pagoda heaven and seek opportunities?!
Although Fang Lingjun is also a casual cultivator. However, she was not overjoyed by the news, she knew it clearly. The reason why the four major sects do this is definitely not 100% pure intentions!
There have been demon beasts that have announced that they are going to join the ranks of treasure hunting, and those who can be sent by the power of the demon clan to seize the treasure must be the descendants of the demon clan.
I think they will definitely bring trouble to the disciples of the four sects and eight sects.
And the four sects and eight factions not only want to restrain the demon beasts, but they are also unwilling to damage the disciples in the sect.
Only by letting the Scattered Cultivation Alliance also join it, with their bloodiness and momentum when they first entered the Pagoda Heaven, they should be able to share some obstacles for the disciples of the four sects and eight sects......
Thinking like this, Fang Lingjun felt worthless for those excited casual cultivators. However, she knew that people who could see through the intentions of the four major sects. Far from a few.
So since you know that you have been used as a gun, why are you competing for these fifty places?!
Thou art not a fish, and thou wilt not know the bitterness and joy of fish.
Sugar and arsenic, but a thought away.
Presumably, the four major sects also settled on their point, so after announcing that the demon beasts had joined the treasure hunt, they immediately announced to the world and opened the "door of convenience" to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance!
But in any case, this pagoda day is indeed the most exciting in the past.
The Four Great Gates, the Eight Small Sects, the Thousand Third-Rate Sects, plus the Scattered Cultivation Alliance and the Fourth- and Fifth-Order Demon Beasts. The group of heroes gathers together, and I don't know what kind of excitement will be staged!
So countless monks came from thousands of miles to the purpose. It's to watch this centennial feast.
Of course, except for the outermost layer of the pagoda sky, which is equipped with an ancient magic mirror that can transmit images, the rest of the places cannot be snooped into. Everyone can only watch a wonderful beginning.
However, the rest of the scene is not visible. But outside the pagoda, there will be a curtain wall of life and death.
The name of the Fallen One disappears from the curtain wall. Only those who have survived can stay on the curtain wall for a long time.
Due to the earth-shaking changes in the list of participants in the treasure hunt this time, no one dares to determine which forces will benefit in the end.
It is precisely because of such uncertain factors that the opening of the pagoda day has become expected, and the underground gambling houses in various immortal cities have also heated up overnight, betting on which forces will achieve the final victory......
Fang Lingjun was not too late to come, after all, the pagoda would not officially open in a month, and Flame Sword City had long since found an inn to rent. In desperation, she could only go to other small Xiuzhen towns to stay.
And before leaving, Fang Lingjun also walked around the market carefully to see if he could find traces of the three-grade ice attribute spiritual object, but unfortunately this is the sphere of influence of the Flame Knife Gate, if you are looking for a fire attribute spiritual object, there may still be a trace of possibility, as for the ice spirit object, it is still a three-grade ice spirit object, it is not very realistic!
However, at this time, the Flame Sword City was a little more lively than the Heavenly Sword City, which had the reputation of 'First Immortal City', Fang Lingjun didn't want to miss this opportunity, there was no one in the Fang City, and there were not necessarily any monks who came and went, after all, the flow of people here was so large, so she held on to the last glimmer of hope, and issued a task talisman for treasure hunting with heavy rewards on the task wall of the square square.
Fang Lingjun was afraid that it would not be attractive enough, so he deliberately marked a few precious items after the heavy reward, hoping that those who had the third-grade ice spirit objects would be able to contact them after seeing them.
She also knew that there were many inappropriateness in this move, after all, the value of the items she listed for exchange was not below the value of the three-grade ice spirit object, so it was really unwise to expose her wealth in this way...... However, the pagoda is about to open, and she can't afford to think about it again, if she can't find anything that can suppress the cold poison, let alone participate in the competition for the treasures in the pagoda sky, I'm afraid that her life will not be guaranteed!
Although those few things were precious, they were not enough to provoke the greed of the Jindan monks, which was also the reason why Fang Lingjun dared to put them generously.
After all, if it really causes some unnecessary trouble, it is also within the controllable range.
Sure enough, the day after the mission, she received a few transmission notes.
Although Fang Lingjun was eagerly looking forward to the ice spirit object, he had not yet lost his basic sanity and vigilance.
So those who traded in the barren mountains and forests were directly ignored by her.
In the end, there was only one transmission note left, although the person was about to trade on the ten-mile slope outside the Flame Sword City, but the other party was just a monk who practiced qi at the twelfth level, and he couldn't figure out any means to think about it, so Fang Lingjun happily agreed.
It's just that she has always been vigilant, and before she reached Shilipo, she released her divine sense in advance!
However, this exploration suddenly startled her!
That's right, there is indeed a Qi cultivation monk looking at Shili Po, but not far away, there are ten monks who range from the early to the middle stage of foundation building.
Fang Lingjun didn't say a word, and immediately turned around and left, fortunately, her divine sense was a few points stronger than that of the monks in the late stage of foundation building, so that she could find out that she was hiding on the side of the foundation building monks, otherwise, she would really fall into the trap!
In desperation, Fang Lingjun could only go back to the city and change the task talisman, adding a sentence "A trace of the spiritual breath of the ice attribute spirit must be attached to the transmission note."
With this sentence, those people with ulterior motives really can't drill Confucius anymore.
And Fang Lingjun was no longer bothered by those boring people.
It wasn't until five days later that she actually received a transmission note with ice attribute spiritual breath!!
