Gu Yan can only be said to be familiar with the way of refining, but it can never be called the level of a master like a formation, when she returned to the ruins of the sea, she once heard Lin Jiaxiu say that Xuanjing was one of the most basic materials for refining weapons in ancient times, no matter what kind of magic weapon is refined, offensive or defensive, it is necessary to have Xuanjing to strengthen its quality, and other book friends look at it normally:. It's just that after several wars, the resources of the immortal cultivation world are scarce, and Xuanjing has long been difficult to find, and now even if there is a piece of Xuanjing, few people are willing to use it to refine weapons. Gu Yan took a look, the piece of Xuanjing in the jade box was about the size of a man's palm, and it was enough for refining weapons, but Gu Yan couldn't think of where he would use it now, so he put it in the Qiankun bag and put it away.

As for the other vial, there were two cyan pills, emitting a faint fragrance, each pill was about the size of a pigeon's egg, Gu Yan smelled the aroma, and couldn't tell what kind of pill it was, she thought, probably if the old man was here, she would definitely be able to distinguish it. The bottles were re-capped and put them all in the bag. She glanced at the jade box again, and then waved it into the river, and completely threw away the slightest connection between herself and Zuihou in the Meridian Valley, and since then, the Meridian Valley and the holy tomb under it have never left a trace on this shijie.

Gu Yan leisurely went north along the Weishui, but also to take Xiao Moyan to distract her heart, so that she would not always be immersed in the grief of losing her father. After all, it is the heart of a child, and after a few days, Mo Yan gradually became cheerful, no longer like the previous taciturn appearance, and he was able to point out the scenery by the river and talk and laugh with Gu Yan. The two of them went up the Weishui, and after about four or five days, they went out of the range of the Tianji Mountain Range and arrived at Dongyang County, the southernmost part of the Central Plains.

This is the Central Plains Continent. The southernmost place bordering the six southeastern countries, Dongyang County is a large county that belongs to the Yunze Province among the sixteen kingdoms of Kyushu. It has a population of millions, and there are countless people bustling with people on this pier. People come and go, crowded and there is almost no place to stay. Except for ordinary merchants who travel between the north and the south. There were also many monks who traveled by boat because they could not fly long distances.

Gu Yan has long known the customs here in Cangwu, between mortals and monks, there is no obvious difference like there is in Shenzhou, mortals here see monks, usually respect and not fear, other book friends read normally:. Sometimes they would get along with each other, and the monks would also make mortals do something. The official who managed this dock was a monk in the foundation building period, but his subordinates, in addition to some disciples in the qi refining period, also had a considerable number of mortals working as coolies.

Not far from the wharf, there is a sizable bazaar, where the monks who are obsessed with martial arts go to the treacherous Tianji Mountains to hunt monsters or hunt for treasures. If you are a little impatient, you will come here to sell, exchange for spirit stones or what you want, and then go back and fight. So some people started to set up their own booths at the docks. The business was booming, and then it slowly formed a scale, and later the Dongyang county guard set up an official market here, and sent a monk from the later stage of the foundation to sit in the town. It is enough to deter those who come and go. As for the disciples of those famous sects, they usually don't cause trouble in the Central Plains, after all, everyone has their own shili range, and this is under the control of the Tibetan Sword Villa, so no one will easily provoke. This is also a delicate balance maintained by the Nine Great Sects.

When Gu Yan got on the boat in Weiguo, he had asked the Wei Bo who drove the boat about these things, and he was not surprised to see the incomparably prosperous scene here, but Mo Yan felt that his eyes were a little insufficient. She grew up in the deserted place of Meridian Valley, and had never been to the outside world, where did she know that the world was so big and there was such a crowded place? Watching countless people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, I felt that my eyes couldn't see, and when I looked left and right, my eyes began to become sour.

Gu Yan smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I'll take you to eat something first." Then he walked to a liquor store not far away. Although on the boat, she had already taught Mo Yan some elementary mental techniques, but now she has only just reached the level of refining qi into the body, and she is still far from wanting to open the valley, when she was in the chaotic space, she asked Xiao Jiang to regularly feed Mo Yan some spiritual grass and spiritual fruits in the space, so as not to starve to death because she couldn't eat.

On this pier, most of the people who came and went were monks with lower cultivation levels, and they drove boats back and forth between the southeast and the Central Plains, as for those high-level monks, most of them would fly directly over and would not stop in Dongyang County. Therefore, although there are many people here, most of them are mainly monks in the Qi refining period, and there is not one in ten monks who build the foundation. In order to avoid attracting attention, Gu Yan set up a trick on his body and dressed himself up as a mid-foundation building. As for Mo Yan, naturally there was no need to hide it, she took Mo Yan's hand and walked into the distance.

The wine shop here is not like an ordinary mortal bazaar, but there is no charge, but it is just a place for those monks to rest and chat, and when Gu Yan came in, it was the time when the people were buzzing. When I saw a young girl, I walked in with a girl's hand, and I consciously moved out of the way. Generally speaking, most of the female cultivators who dare to walk the rivers and lakes alone have some ability, and ordinary people will not provoke easily.

Gu Yan ignored them, walked to a small table by the window and sat down, and then asked for refreshments for Mo Yan to eat some snacks, while she picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly. Listen to the people on the side talk about the anecdotes that happened here. Who hunted a sixth-order demon pill in the Tianji Mountain Range, took it to Dongyang County and sold thousands of spirit stones, and made a fortune, who accidentally found a cave mansion of ancient cultivation, but was swallowed by the spirit beast guarding the door instead, most of it was absurd and nonsense, Gu Yan just listened to it as an anecdote.

When Mo Yan was full of food and drink, she smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the market to see it." She deliberately wants to cultivate the knowledge of silent words, because after all, she will not take silent words with her for a long time, she is destined to pursue the avenue alone, and silent words, she has her own life, and should not be bound by herself. Gu Yan didn't want to turn Mo Yan into his entourage. In addition, there was one more thing when she went to the market, she was a little shy and was going to go and prepare to exchange for some spirit stones.

In Cangwu, no matter where it is, as long as it is in the realm of cultivating immortals. Spirit stones are always the most common currency. It's just that the Central Plains is vast and has a lot of resources, so the number of spirit stones needed will be doubled. Gu Yan was leaving the country. There were only two or three hundred lower grade spirit stones left around her, which was far from enough, and she still wanted to find them here. See if there are any medium-grade spirit stones.

Although in daily transactions, one medium-grade spirit stone can be worth one hundred lower-grade spirit stones. But this is only in terms of relative value, in fact, the medium-grade spirit stone is an extremely rare thing, and the people who generally have it will not simply use it as currency to trade, but keep it for their own use, for example, when the teleportation array, it must be a medium-grade spirit stone or above. The kind of miles that are instantaneous. A large teleportation array that can teleport hundreds of people at a time even requires a high-grade spirit stone to make an array eye. Gu Yan has a deep attainment in the formation, but it is very difficult to find the mid-grade spirit stone when the formation is arranged, so when he came here, he wanted to take a look.

She entered the bazaar with silent words, and it was really more lively here, and countless monks put out all their strange things, so that the little silent words she saw for the first time were dizzying, and other book friends read them normally:. Gu Yan also got a few pieces of lapis blue, strung a bracelet for Mo Yan, and wore it on his wrist. She was very pleased.

Most of the things placed here are demon pills and the like, which are not in Gu Yan's eyes, and occasionally there are some strange things, and Gu Yan is not interested. She walked straight to the official store where she bought things, and then took out a few demon pills that she had hunted when she returned to the ruins and sent them over, and easily exchanged for two thousand spirit stones. That's probably enough for her daily needs. Although there are more haode things in her bag, those need to be exchanged for in a bigger city.

After the delivery of the spirit stones, she asked the people here for advice, where to sell medium-grade spirit stones. The man looked at her in surprise and said, "There are very few people here who will trade medium-grade spirit stones, you better wait until you get to Yunyang City, and then go and say hello." ”

Yunyang City is the imperial city of Yunze Kingdom, where the emperor lives, and it is also the first and most prosperous place to cultivate immortals after going to the Central Plains from the southeast and north. The Tibetan Sword Villa also had a rudder there, Gu Yan nodded and smiled, then packed up his things and left.

The matter is over, she aimlessly pulled Mo Yan to hang out here, Mo Yan's interest is very high, look at this, look at that, and ask questions from time to time, Gu Yan also answered her one by one, thinking that when she first entered the threshold of cultivating immortals, she relied on one person to explore, and regarded the two broken spirit stones as treasures, thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad, in Mo Yan's body, she could find a little comfort back then.

It took about half a day or so, until the sun was in the west, and Mo Yan felt a little tired, so Gu Yan took her out of the market. When he walked out of the door, Gu Yan was still thinking that every time he came to a place like Fang Market, something would more or less happen, but today was calm and abnormal.

She took Mo Yan's hand, walked out of the door, and saw a carriage parked not far away, the decoration on the body was not gorgeous, it looked no different from an ordinary carriage, but Gu Yan saw a trace of abnormality, in the carriage of the carriage, there was a protective formation reinforced by pieces of spirit stones, such a handiwork, ordinary casual cultivation is rare.

In front of the carriage, there was a young man standing, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very good-looking, he looked around, as if he was waiting for someone, and when he saw Gu Yan passing in front of him, he was immediately overjoyed, walked up a few steps quickly, bowed his hand, and said: "This female Taoist friend, other book friends look at it normally:!" ”

Gu Yan pulled Mo Yan to his side with his hand, and said with some vigilance: "Who are you, what are you looking for me?" ”

This young man probably only has the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building, which is really not enough in front of Gu Yan's eyes, but she is now pretending to be a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, so she must make this instinctive reaction.

Seeing that she was a little vigilant, the young man hurriedly took two steps back, shook his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, fellow Daoist, my name is Yang Zhen, and I am from Cumulus Peak in Dongyang North County. ”

Gu Yan was a little familiar when he heard the words "Cumulus Peak", and after thinking about it, he remembered that he had heard someone mention it in the wine shop, it was one of the three major sects in Dongyang County, and the strength of this sect was probably somewhat similar to the Lu family of the Wei Kingdom, and there were three or four Jiedan monks in the sect, and it was also a little famous in the entire Yunze Country.

Her face softened, and she also arched her hand towards Yang Zhen, "It turned out to be Brother Yang, but we don't know each other, so I don't know what to do with me?" ”

Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a step here to speak." Gu Yan followed him to the side, and on the side of the carriage, the curtain in the carriage was raised, and then a woman showed half of her face.

This woman is still in her prime, but Gu Yan only saw her eyes. I couldn't help but be shocked, this is a female cultivator in the Dan stage!

Although it is in a holy land for cultivating immortals like Cangwu, a female cultivator can cultivate to the stage of knotting. It's still an extremely rare thing, and I can't help but be surprised. At least in Weiguo, she has never seen a woman who can cultivate to the end of the Dan. I heard that the elder of Bixia Sect who went to the Central Plains to seek medical treatment was a woman. But Gu Yan had never seen it.

This female cultivator should not have been married for a long time, and she has a kind of illusion on her. It is used to cover up his cultivation, making it difficult for monks of the same level to notice, if it weren't for Gu Yan's divine thoughts, which are far stronger than ordinary monks, he wouldn't be able to see it. Since people have covered it up, Gu Yan didn't know it, and bowed down to greet her. The blinding method on her own body was covered by a vermilion mirror, which was not visible to ordinary monks of the same level. I'll just think of her as an ordinary foundation-building monk.

The woman's lips spit lightly and said, "Yang Zhen, you can tell us about it, if this female Taoist friend is willing, then go together, but don't force it." With that, she lowered the curtain again.

Yang Zhen said with a smile: "Invite Daoyou over, in fact, there is something to invite." He probably told the matter once, and Gu Yan understood. Cumulus Peak is located in Dongyang County, which is a large town in Tongluo, so it is naturally not the kind of sect that is dedicated to cultivation, and each sect must practice. To refine weapons, alchemy, and improve the cultivation of disciples, they all have their own ways to make money. For example, Cumulus Peak will provide escort services for monks who travel from north to south here.

For example, goods were trafficked from the six south-eastern countries. Or bring items from the Central Plains to the southeast, Cumulus Peak will help escort them, but they have to charge a certain amount of spirit stones according to the price of the goods. Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "This is your faction's business, so what does it have to do with me?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on recently, there are a lot of things in this door, and even the head of the house can't take care of it, but there are two uncles in retreat at this time, and then there are a few big businesses to pick up, all of them are familiar customers, there is no way and can only take it hard, and you can't fall into the reputation that Cumulus Peak has accumulated on weekdays, but the manpower is really insufficient, and there are several big businesses that have called the manpower to go, and as a result, there is a shortage of people on our side, relying on the old relationship before, and pulling some outsiders to help, but it is still not enough." , I accidentally saw Taoist friends in the market today, and I heard that you are also going to the north, if you don't bother each other, how about your peers? ”

Gu Yan groaned, Yang Zhen meant that he wanted to invite her to accompany her, and by the way, he would be a guard. This situation is actually not uncommon, there are countless scattered cultivators in the world, most of them go from south to north, and sometimes they are invited to accompany each other, and then receive some payment, this kind of thing she did more than once when she was young. However, this Cumulus Peak, where Yang Zhen is located, is also the local gate faction in Dongyang anyway, is it so tight that he wants to pull an outsider who has only met once to join in? She said with a slight smile, "Is that why your faction believes in me like that?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled, "Daoyou said that you laughed, in fact, this time it was not necessary to go, but the owner of the goods is a big family in Yunyang City, and the relationship with us has always been quite good, not because this time, I offended my old friend, and the way to Yunyang City is also easy to walk, counting, if you take the flying magic weapon of this door together, it is only half a day's work, I think Daoyou also intentionally wants to go to Yunyang City, why not go?" As for what you don't believe, everyone is a friend, and these words don't need to be mentioned again, not to mention that Cumulus Peak is also a little famous here, and it won't be like a thief to outsiders. ”

Gu Yan smiled, but he felt that this young man was very interesting, looking at his age, he should not be far from himself, he talked endlessly, as if he had been trained in the world for a long time, like he was so young, but he was able to make himself exquisite, this kind of person is indeed rare.

Yang Zhen saw that she frowned and groaned a little, so he said again: "If Daoist friends are willing to take the time to help, Senior Uncle Nan said, there are two medium-grade spirit stones here, which can be used as a reward." ”

Gu Yan's eyes lit up, although the medium-grade spirit stone is not a very precious item, but it is indeed becoming less and less in this world, she has long intended to get a few medium-grade spirit stones to set up the array, she had collected a few pieces when she returned to the ruins, but when she set up the formation in the ruins, she used them all up, and after coming to Cangwu, with the accumulation of the Bixia Sect, she really couldn't make up this kind of thing, so she had already intended to collect it after she went to the big city and Dayi, since Cumulus Peak was willing to pay such a reward, it was nothing to accompany them on a trip. As for the safety of this trip, Gu Yan probably still has some confidence, as long as he doesn't encounter that kind of old monster in his infancy, at least there is no problem in self-preservation.

However, the behavior of this group is secretive, and it must not seem as simple as they say. But Gu Yan can also understand that walking in the rivers and lakes, how can anyone tell people the truth, as long as they don't intend to plot against themselves, if it is, then they are naturally not soft persimmons that are easy to pinch.

She nodded to Yang Zhen, "If there is really a reward for a medium-grade spirit stone, then it doesn't hurt for me to accompany you on this trip." But this is my little sister-in-law, and I can't leave her aside when I bring her out of the southeast. ”

Yang Zhen said with a smile: "Walking together, I think this little girl is probably just getting started, the flying magic weapon of this door is fast and stable, it is the most suitable for a little girl like you." He saw that Mo Yan was a little girl who had just refined qi into the body, and thought that Gu Yan was a loose cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and there was probably no haode flying magic weapon for Mo Yan to ride, after all, a person who had just refined qi into the body could not be called a monk, and if he went up to fly without protection, he would definitely not be able to withstand the wind in the air. So he smiled and comforted, pretending to be close.

Mo Yan stood aside and didn't speak, and came out of the ancient tomb from the moment she came out, and the moment Gu Yan agreed to take care of her, she changed her mouth and stopped calling her "Sister Yan", in fact, she wanted to call Gu Yan her master in her heart, but Gu Yan didn't let her call her like that, but Mo Yan didn't want to change her name to another name, Gu Yan knew her little girl's thoughts, so she went,:.

At this time, Mo Yan heard what Yang Zhen said, and regarded her as a little girl who had no knowledge, and couldn't help but pout, she was originally smart, and when she saw that Gu Yan didn't tell her identity, she kept silent, and when she heard Yang Zhen treat herself as a child, she turned her head and snorted in her heart, how can you know my master's methods. She glanced at Gu Yan, and quietly stuck out her tongue, thinking that these two words could only be screamed in her stomach, and she couldn't pronounce them, so she was suddenly interested, and let Gu Yan take her hand and drag her onto the cloud boat where Cumulus Peak was.

Cangwu and Guixu Sea are somewhat similar in this regard, except that some monks will refine some flying magic weapons by themselves, the flying magic weapons used by the general large and small sects are Yunzhou, but the refining methods of each sect are different, which also shows the difference between high and low. And this cloud boat of Cumulus Peak, it doesn't look very eye-catching, the head and tail add up to more than ten zhang long, and there are several cabins inside, just like a medium-sized ship, although it is suspended in the air, but standing on it, it is flat and stable, as if walking on the ground.

It was the first time Mo Yan had seen this kind of thing, after all, it was a child's nature, and he was curious, although he didn't dare to let go of Gu Yan's hand, but a pair of eyes looked left and right as if it was not enough.

At this time, a very surprised voice suddenly sounded, "Where did such a cute child come from?" Before the words fell, I don't know from somewhere, suddenly a girl burst out.

This girl has a double bun on her head, she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, she looks childish, with a pair of shear-like eyes, although she looks about the same age as Gu Yan on the outside, but obviously does not have her calm temperament. When she saw Mo Yan, her face showed joy, and she rushed over to pinch Mo Yan's face.

Frightened, Mo Yan hid behind Gu Yan, Gu Yan stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "She is still a child, she is afraid of seeing people, don't be surprised." ”

The girl blinked, "Such a young child, you can't bear to take her out to wander, I like her so much, can you let me be my apprentice?" (To be continued)
