Chapter 801: Lanyue Mountain
There was no obstacle in the Forest of the Moon God, and there was no obstacle for Xuanyuan and his party to move forward. In the morning, they left the province of chasing the moon, and in the evening, everyone came to the foot of the moon mountain in the province of the moon.
Counting the date, the day everyone arrived happened to be the night of the new moon, and if they wanted to wait for the full moon, there would be another half a month, so everyone needed to wait here for a while, in addition to waiting for the full moon, but also to find out the situation of Lanyue Lake on Lanyue Mountain.
The Moonlight Empress of the Moonlight Holy See will worship at Lanyue Lake before and after mid-autumn every year, and during that time, Lanyue Mountain is naturally heavily defended, and no outsider wants to go up. Fortunately, there are still three months before mid-autumn, and everyone doesn't need to worry.
It is also an annual event, but the status of Lanyue Mountain is completely different from that of the Moon God Forest. Aside from the time when the Empress came to worship, Lanyue Mountain was not completely open to the outside world, and it was the source of the important rare mineral Moonstone, which was of great importance to the Moonlight Holy See. Therefore, even if there is no sacrificial activity, there will be at least one Shangqing master guarding Lanyue Mountain.
With the current strength of Xuanyuan and the others, even if they fight head-on with two or even three Shangqing masters, they will not be afraid at all, but Xuanyuan doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. In contrast, he even wanted to have a good relationship with the Moonlight Holy See, even if he couldn't be friends, at least not let them expose his whereabouts to the Holy See.
With this idea in mind, everyone settled down in the small town at the corner of Lanyue Mountain. Their first task is to find out the situation on Lanyue Mountain, and at least to know how many people the Moonlight Holy See has arranged here.
After determining the residence, Xuanyuan took Xiaoyuan first and came to the street to ask someone about the situation. As the closest town to Lanyue Mountain, there are hundreds of caravans selling and reselling moonstones in this city, so it is a good choice to ask them.
"This big brother, did you moonstones just come down from the mountain?"
Xuanyuan found a caravan that had just been carrying the moonstone in place, and greeted it with a smile and asked.
"That's it! This is the finest crescent moonstone, little brother, you came at the right time! How about two boxes? ”
Seeing Xuanyuan come forward, the shirtless man who had just moved out dozens of boxes of moonstones from the storage spirit weapon also greeted him very warmly.
"Crescent moonstone? Shouldn't the power of moonlight produced by Lanyue Lake reach its peak when the moon is full? When Xuanyuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Oh, little brother, you're a layman. How, this is your first time sourcing moonstone? The big man grinned.
"Hmm......" Regulus could only nod. He really didn't have much research on moonstones.
"It is true that the power of moonlight in Lanyue Lake will reach its peak on a full moon night, but it will take a long time for Moonstone to perfectly absorb the power of this moonlight. However, once the moonstone absorbs the power of the moonlight in the two months before and after, the power will become mottled and the quality will not be good. Therefore, only the moonstone mined on the night of the crescent moon, that is, at the end of the month, is the best quality moonstone! ”
Looking at the appearance of this shirtless man, it didn't look like he was lying at all, and Xuanyuan also believed seven or eight points. "I see. Big brother, do you know what the situation is on the mountain now? ”
"Little brother, you ...... Isn't it asking too much? Although the man was bold, he was a businessman after all, and Xuanyuan only asked if he wanted to buy it, and he seemed to be a little unhappy.
"Five boxes, no need to look for them!" Regulus threw the man a storage ring.
After taking the ring, the man used his spiritual power to check it slightly, and immediately smiled. The silver taels in this ring are enough to buy ten boxes of moonstones, not to mention that the ring itself is worth a lot of money.
"This boy is really happy! What did you just say? ”
Seeing that Xuanyuan was so bold and it was the first time to buy it, the man subconsciously felt that Xuanyuan was the son of a big force, so the title and tone of his speech were much more respectful. But it's no wonder that Xuanyuan's bearing is no worse than that of some sons from big families, and it is not surprising that he was misunderstood like this.
"Yesterday was the night of the crescent moon, and since the moonstone has just been mined, is there anyone else on the mountain?" Xuanyuan asked, pretending not to know anything.
"This boy doesn't want to go up the mountain, right? Although there are not many caravans on the mountain now, the quarrymen sent by the Moonlight Holy See himself are all on it. If you don't have any tokens or passwords, and you want to go up to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you'll be beaten as an intruder and driven down......" The man kindly reminded.
As a merchant selling moonstones, the man went up the mountain at a fixed time every month, so he didn't have to fear being seen as an intruder. But in the past few years in the town, he has also seen many cases of travelers who rushed up the mountain because they wanted to make a windfall, and finally were driven down the mountain in embarrassment. Among those adventurers, there were also Sanqing Realm masters, but without exception, they were all beaten half to death and thrown off the mountain.
"What kind of strength is the guardian of the mountain? How many people are there? Regulus continued to ask.
"I don't know. The envoys of the Moonlight Holy See who appear on weekdays are all the strength of the Yuqing Realm, but there must be Shangqing masters on it. I advise my son to die as soon as possible, don't do stupid things impulsively! The man seemed to think that Xuanyuan was going to venture into the mountain, so it was also a strong reminder.
"Thank you brother for reminding me!" Xuanyuan smiled slightly, took his five boxes of moonstones, and left with Xiaoyuan.
"Alas, it's another bloody disaster......" Watching Xuanyuan leave, the man shook his head helplessly.
Leaving this stall, Xuanyuan didn't go back directly, but spared a few laps and asked several other relatively large caravans in the same way. It's just that in the end, the news that Xuanyuan got was similar - the Shangqing master definitely existed, but no one had really seen it.
"It's good that you bought so many moonstones and came back, but you didn't get any news, aren't you wronged!"
Seeing that Xuanyuan and Xiaoyuan had brought back dozens of boxes of moonstones, but had not received any useful clues, Lan Haoren couldn't help but joke.
"It's not exactly beautiful, at least I got another piece of useful information." Xuanyuan smiled slightly, and didn't seem to care about spending so much money to buy back so many moonstones.
"What's the news?" Wang Sanniu said curiously.
"If you want to restore the strength of the star spirit, you don't have to wait until the night of the full moon, even if it is usual, it can have the same effect. Moreover, it may be easier for me to get their approval when I go during the half month when the moon is from the new moon to the full moon. ”
Xuanyuan smiled slightly, and already had an idea in his heart.
