Chapter 14: The Boundary of Yellow Springs (4000 words)
After leaving the sect on this trip, Lu Qingshan's main purpose was to go to the underworld, and the idea of improving his sword intent was more like an additive.
Among all the players in the previous life, there is a consensus.
But when it comes to the incident of the shadow of the underworld, ninety percent of them are really involved in the underworld monks.
In the same way, whenever there is an event involving the underworld, it is not a small task, and it is often rich in rewards and very important.
And in games, such tasks tend to keep players scrambling.
The word Difu is like a gene imprinted in the player's body, as long as they hear it, it will make them instinctively excited.
As Lu Qingshan expected, this request for help was not the same.
So after Ji Chuan mentioned that this incident might be involving the local government, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to invite Ying to participate.
In game terms, it's Senior Brother Ji Chuan, who is the first on the yellow list, who takes people to a big task, so he asks you to go or not?
Whether it is the weight of the top of the yellow list or the drive of the word Difu, it is enough to become the reason for Lu Qingshan to take this trip.
The so-called Yellow List is also known as the Fourth Realm Monk Ranking List.
The Heavenly Machine View monitors the world, and the information is extremely well-informed and accurate.
The yellow list is the ranking list of monks listed by the Heavenly Machine View.
Including all the monks of the Four Realms of the human race, the strongest 100 Yuanying monks were selected from them, ranked them, and made public.
As for the ranking, it is the monk's well-known achievements and achievements.
That said, this list does not guarantee to be 100% accurate.
Because even if there is a Yuanying Cultivator, whose combat power is unparalleled, and he can reverse the cultivation of the Void Cultivator, if he has been cultivating in seclusion, he is not enough for outsiders, and his name will not appear on the Yellow List.
But in general, it still has great reference significance.
In fact, there are four lists of such monks: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang.
The Yellow List records the ranking of the monks of the Fourth Realm, and the Xuan List records the monks of the Fifth Realm, and so on, until the Heavenly List, the record of the monks of the Seven Realms is closed.
And at the top of the four lists, the Sword Sect is the exclusive two.
The Taibai Sword Master who is the first on the Heavenly List, and Ji Chuan, the first on the Yellow List.
The reason why Ji Chuan can be at the top of the yellow list is also very clear.
Name: Kikawa
Ranking: 1st place
Cultivation is: Yuan Ying is complete, cultivating the reincarnation sword intent of the unity realm (the true meaning of the origin), the five elements of the consummation realm sword intent (five kinds, all of which are the upper artistic conception), learning from the Taibai sword master at the top of the heavenly list, the swordsmanship is exquisite, and it is suspected that he is cultivating both inside and outside, and the natal sword is a high-grade heavenly weapon green waist.
Record: Yazhou Evil Ridge, there will be two vulture evil sects that exist as cultivators; One sword slashed the demon king of the middle of the fifth grade, the Nine Shadow Monsters.
Nickname: Haoran Sword
Identity: The contemporary elder brother of the Eastern Regions Sword Sect
……
However, from another point of view, the existence of these four lists seems to provide a lot of useful information to the underworld, so that the underworld can accurately bury the genius monks of the human race according to the list
This looks like a very demented act.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the origin of the four lists.
Its source, in fact, is precisely from the underworld.
At that time, it was also called the Underworld Bounty List.
The underworld lurks among the human race, and there is a big task, which is to find a way to eradicate the genius monks of the human race and stifle their possibility of becoming powerful monks.
Therefore, according to the reputation and performance of the Terran monks, the Difu has formulated such a reward list within the Difu, including the Terran monks from the Four Realms to the Seven Realms.
As for why the cultivation is limited to this range, the reason is also very simple.
There are too many monks below the four realms, and they can't see an approximate idea, so there is no need to specifically target them, and they can't be targeted.
Monks above the Seven Realms, the means are clear, and if they want to kill, they have to pour the power of the underworld, not one or two people, or a certain branch hall can do it, so they are not on the bounty list.
In addition, the bounty list not only has the Terran monk's revealed strength introduction, a detailed description of the battle results, but also a huge bounty.
This list was distributed to all sub-halls of the underworld and to all the monks of the underworld.
As long as a monk kills a monk on the bounty list, he can receive the corresponding bounty.
Obviously, the people who can be on this list are all people with amazing means and superb strength in the same realm.
According to this list, the actions of the monks of the underworld were extremely active, and people were panicked for a while, and many people were afraid that they were on this list.
Later, the Great Xia royal family learned of the existence of this list, thought about it for a while, and directly made a resolution, so they simply went the opposite way, and in the name of the Heavenly Machine View, the bounty list was changed and made public.
With a clever move, the panic of the Terran monk being recorded on the bounty list of the underworld turned into a great reputation.
The Terran monks are no longer afraid of it, but proud of it.
.......
Before leaving the sect, Lu Qingshan finally went to Hengfeng.
Hengfeng is the correct name, and it is another popular name passed down by word of mouth among the disciples of the Sword Sect, which can better reflect its role.
Treasure Peak.
This peak is where the treasure house and classics of the Sword Sect are located.
Lu Qingshan's purpose is twofold, one is the exercises, and the other is the spiritual material.
Although he is currently only in the late stage of Jindan, it seems that he is still far from the Yuan Infant Stage, but as long as he has experience points, these seemingly distant gaps are actually nothing.
When going out, it is inevitable that there will be some unexpected situations, and for the sake of safety, Lu Qingshan still decided to apply for the Yuanying Exercise first.
On the top of Heng Peak, there are two halls, Gewu and Zhizhi.
Its meaning is evident from its name.
The hall of Gewu is the hall of spiritual materials, and the hall of knowledge is the hall of exercises.
The Zhizhi Hall is actually a large group of halls, and what Lu Qingshan is looking for is the hall that is specifically responsible for the inheritance of the Jindan monk's exercises.
In terms of exercises, the Sword Sect will not embarrass its disciples.
It's not easy to admit people into the Sword Sect, and all kinds of conditions are needed to learn the exercises of this sect, what's the point?
Lu Qingshan entered the Hall of Inheritance, and an old immortal sword cultivator greeted him.
"The disciple wants to apply for the Yuan Infant Exercise of this sect." Lu Qingshan bowed and said.
After verifying Lu Qingshan's sword talisman, the old decayed sword cultivator nodded slightly, turned his head and entered the hall, and when he came out again, a piece of Dao jade flew out of his hand.
"This jade records the Yuan Infant Chapter of the Heaven Intercepting Sword Sutra of this sect, which is the fundamental technique for you and other Jindan monks to advance to the Yuan Infant.
Cultivation is the foundation of everything, be a good student to cultivate, don't indulge in kendo and forget the importance of exercises. "There was a warning in the encouragement of the old sword cultivator.
At his age, he's been through so much.
Among the Sword Sect, most of them are sword idiots, because they are addicted to the way of the sword, and they ignore the sword cultivation of the cultivators, and he has seen a few of them over the years.
Therefore, since taking over the affairs of Hengfeng Zhizhi Palace, when the disciples came to apply for the exercises, he would more or less point like this.
He doesn't care if it's useful or useless, the main thing is to have peace of mind.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for making it complete." Lu Qingshan put away the Dao jade and took a deep look at the old decrepit sword cultivator.
Cultivators like the old decaying sword cultivators are all seniors who have a short lifespan and are willing to shine last in the Sword Sect.
More monks, when their lives are short, will choose to indulge in the mountains and rivers.
There is no right or wrong between the two, but for the former, it is appropriate to have respect.
The hall of things is not far from the hall of knowledge.
Also after verifying the sword talisman, Lu Qingshan entered the Gewu Palace, a little excited in his heart.
This is the treasure house of Taoism, how many people have seen it?
In the first floor of the Gewu Hall, it is wide and bright, much larger than the outside.
This is the technique of mustard seeds in the small world.
Compared with the unlimited inheritance of the Zhizhi Temple, the restrictions of the Gewu Hall are much stricter.
The reason is also very simple, the price of spiritual materials in the Gewu Hall is extremely affordable, and it is often two percent lower than that on the market.
If there is no restriction, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be disciples of this sect who will do those businesses of buying low and selling high, buying spiritual materials from the Gewu Hall at a low price and reselling them to monks of other sects at a high price.
The limit of the Gewu Temple, in a nutshell, is the word quota.
The total price that each monk can purchase in the hall of spiritual materials shall not exceed one aggregate amount.
This aggregate is calculated by adding the base amount to the additional amount.
The base amount depends on the monk's cultivation.
The additional quota will be increased by completing some sect tasks or meeting some special conditions, such as being on the yellow list.
Lu Qingshan naturally only has a basic quota at this time.
However, the Sword Sect is still always bold and generous.
Monk Jindan actually has a quota of five spirit crystals.
The goal of his trip was clear and clear, the three flavors of spiritual materials, such as withered dragon wood, earth dragon essence, and mutton fat and white jade.
That is, what the Peach Blossom Sword needs to advance to the high-grade celestial weapon.
The three-flavor spiritual materials are all six-grade spiritual materials, which are very valuable, and the amount that Lu Qingshan asks for is quite high, even if the price is thirty percent lower, his share is not enough.
Fortunately, before Lu Qingshan came, he took this situation into account, and purchased an additional quota of six spirit crystals from Ji Chuan at the price of two spirit crystals.
Know that it's just the quota.
Lu Qingshan wants these spiritual materials, but he still has to produce his own spiritual crystals.
The preciousness of the Sword Sect's Pavilion can be seen.
Of course, it's worth the money, if Lu Qingshan goes to find it himself, I don't know how much time it will take to collect these three spiritual materials
With enough amount, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, spent the price of eight spirit crystals, and finally prepared all the materials needed for the advancement of the Peach Blossom Sword.
It costs a total of 10 spirit crystals.
These ten spirit crystals are about equal to the net worth of ten Yuan Infant Cultivators.
To put it more intuitively, because the spiritual energy contained in the spirit crystal is extremely pure and in the form of crystal essence, the monk can quickly practice and break through the realm with the help of the spirit crystal.
One spirit crystal can be absorbed in its entirety, which can be converted into 50,000 experience points.
In other words, this blink of an eye is equivalent to Lu Qingshan smashing 500,000 experience points on the Peach Blossom Sword.
Fortunately, it was the Seven Domains Dao that rewarded a hundred spirit crystals, which gave Lu Qingshan the ability to support his family.
.........
Eastern Regions, Prison Prefecture, Yuanfu, Burial Ridge.
The land here, a withered yellow, spreads out as far as the eye can see, and that color is like a desert, and a sense of desolation rises.
Above a brown vein, two figures were suspended in mid-air.
"Here we are, that's where we're going." Ji Chuan looked at a male monk beside him who looked plain and restrained, and couldn't see the specific cultivation.
"Source Shilan vein, Qiu family ......" The male cultivator looked down at the yellow below, and muttered a sentence on his lips.
This male cultivator is naturally Lu Qingshan who used the nocturnal ancient jade to cover his identity.
After they passed through the sect's teleportation circle and went directly to the prison state, they went straight here.
The letter for help received by the Sword Sect was related to the Qiu family, the controller of this brown vein.
Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan gave a detailed introduction to the mission.
Burial Ridge, this is a very wonderful area.
This place belongs to the source province, but its area is really very large, even exceeding the area of the source house.
The reason why it will be classified into the source mansion is because the burial ridge has eighty percent of the area, all of which belong to the forbidden area and no man's land, and the truly meaningful area is only those two percent.
"Forbidden Zone?" Lu Qingshan asked curiously, "Is there any danger?" ”
"Do you know that there are other worlds outside of our world?" Ji Chuan did not directly answer Lu Qingshan's question, but asked rhetorically.
"I know, for example, the abyss where the demon race is located is an independent and complete world." Lu Qingshan replied.
Nine Days, Nine Days, although it has not been officially recognized, in the player's cognition, there should be nine worlds.
But in addition to the Firmament Heaven where the human race is located, he actually knows the existence of the abyss.
"Senior brother means by asking, isn't this related to other worlds?" Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and he faintly guessed.
Ji Chuan nodded, "There are two adjacent worlds to the Firmament Heaven where we are, one is the abyss where the demon race is located, and it has been pouring over us for tens of thousands of years, like a tarsal bone, needless to say."
The other world is Huangquan. ”
"Yellow Springs?!" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
These are some of the world's secrets that he has never been exposed to.
"Whether it is our human race or the demon race, if there is a living thing, after death, the place where the soul will go to the place of rebirth is the Yellow Spring." Kikawa explained.
"As neighboring worlds, in the process of expanding and creeping the boundary walls of the world, it is inevitable that collisions will occur, resulting in cracks.
And in the forbidden area of the burial ridge, there is such a spatial crack leading to the Yellow Spring World.
The dead qi on the side of Huangquan continued to permeate through the spatial cracks, enveloping an area.
A monk cannot be in a dead qi environment for a long time, because although dead qi is not immediately fatal, these dead qi will gradually suppress your blood qi and engulf your yang qi.
When all the flesh and blood are suppressed by the death qi, although you are still alive, the physical body is no different from death, and the soul of the primordial spirit will leave the body.
Therefore, in the area where the air of death was shrouded, there were few monks who stayed for a long time.
But as time passed, in that area, there were demon beasts that gradually adapted to the dead qi from Huangquan, and produced corresponding changes, becoming a new demon clan.
They call themselves Source Demons.
And in the vein of the source demon, there is even an eight-grade demon king, the source demon king.
It is because of the existence of the source demon that that area has become a forbidden area. ”
Lu Qingshan was shocked, "Wouldn't there be something strange in the Yellow Springs World like a demon that invaded our human territory?" Or didn't we Terran monks go to Huangquan out of curiosity to find out? ”
Ji Chuan shook his head, "The reason why the abyss can invade our Firmament Heaven without hindrance is because the demon race and our human race are essentially the same, and the spirit and spirit exist.
So in the same way, we Terrans can also enter the abyss without hindrance.
But Huangquan is different, it is the place where the soul dies.
Generally, our firmament and abyss are called the yang world, and the yellow spring realm is the underworld.
In the underworld, only souls can enter.
Above the boundary wall of the Yellow Spring, there is an irresistible restriction of the law.
In order to enter, you must have a soul that has no yang energy at all, and if you break in, it will destroy all your yang energy and turn you into a real dead person.
At the same time, the boundary wall of our human race's firmament is also an obstacle to the entry of all Yellow Spring creatures. ”
"That's ......," Lu Qingshan thought thoughtfully, "So, Huangquan and our Firmament Heaven are unknowable Jedi to each other.
It is also because of this that the powerful monks allowed the existence of this spatial passage? ”
"Almost," Ji Chuan nodded, thought about it and said, "However, it's not completely Jedi, because in the sky, there are still people who enter the Yellow Spring." ”
"Someone has ever entered the Yellow Springs?!"
"It's not a human," Kikawa corrected, "It's a demon." ”
"Source Demon King, you have entered the Yellow Spring!"
