The weather was sunny and the wind was smooth.

Fifth, Tingyun came to the White Tiger Gate in the north of Shenjing City early, but found that the city gate was closed. After inquiring with the officers and soldiers defending the city, they learned that the White Tiger Gate would not open until noon, and that the gate would be closed as soon as noon was over, and that it would not open again until noon the next day unless there were special circumstances.

Looking at the sun that had just risen from behind the eastern hillside, Fifth Tingyun had no choice but to return to the inn with Bai Jie. When noon was approaching, Shi Fu woke up leisurely and set off with the fifth Tingyun. Fifth, Tingyun couldn't help but guess that the old man must have known the situation a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't tell himself, so he couldn't help but complain about the old man's bad taste.

In fact, they can also go out of the city through the gates of the other three parties to Wanli Mountain. But in that case, one is to consider the long detour, and the other is to consider that the road up the mountain in those places must be rarely walked, and it is not safe in the vast mountains, so it is better to take the road that others have walked. After all, when he got up early in the morning, Shi Fu didn't plan to follow him at all.

Take Shi Fu's words: "Aren't you just picking some spiritual materials? ”

The ghost knew that he took the initiative to follow after waking up, it must be that the senior was going to sleep lazy, so he didn't come with us, Bai Jie whispered in the ear of the fifth Tingyun.

The three of them did not bring the white crane horse this time, and they expected that they would not be able to go deep into the mountain to collect medicine.

And Shi Fu walked in front and didn't want to deal with it, let alone put forward some opinions. Therefore, the fifth Tingyun could only set off on his own, thinking that although this old man followed, most of the time he would not help much, at most he would be more active when he was roasting and eating. Thinking like this, the fifth Tingyun didn't have much expectations for Shifu.

When I came to the White Tiger Gate, the city gate was already open.

Many spontaneous mercenary groups have already left the city gate and are heading into the mountains. At this moment, what can still be seen under the city gate are some loose cultivators, who are afraid of being unsafe when they go up the mountain alone, and they are calling friends and companions, and they want to gather the number of people before setting off.

Looking at those martial cultivators who were looking for people everywhere to form a team, many of them were people from the Spirit Mystery Realm, and the fifth hearing Yun couldn't help but feel that this Ten Thousand Miles Mountain was not as safe as he imagined. But think that I am just picking some wild medicinal materials, even if some rare spiritual materials are guarded by demonic beasts, isn't there still a teacher?

So, the three of them declined several invitations to retreat and went straight out of the city.

Outside the city gate, there is already an upward terrain. After walking less than ten zhang, you have entered the dense forest with deep roots of trees. However, along the way, there were a lot of people, and people who looked like merchants were waiting on the side of the road, and once they saw the mercenaries who had just come down from the mountains, they rushed over, intending to take down the goods in the hands of these mercenaries. The White Tiger Gate is open for such an hour every day, so these merchants have already calculated the time to wait here, and they will generally come into contact with the supply of goods before the market in the city.

In addition to merchants, there are more mercenary groups composed of cultivators.

These mercenary groups, either in teams of ten or in groups of nine, will be summed up at the bottom of the mountain after leaving the city. distribution of benefits, personal responsibilities...... and so on have to be negotiated in advance, they are all put together temporarily, no better than those mercenary groups that have been established for a long time and are mature in all aspects.

Of course, those mature mercenary groups will generally stay in the mountains for ten days and half a month before returning. They have a complete collection and transportation team, each with its own division of labor, so there is no need to go back to the city very often. For them, if they don't get enough money in the mountains, they won't go back to the city.

The three masters and apprentices did not stay outside the city, and rushed along the avenue to the mountains.

In this place that has just come out of the city gate, even if there are spiritual materials, I am afraid that they have already been picked up.

At first, the three of them could still follow the traces of the road, but after walking into the mountain for more than an hour, there were almost no traces of human beings, and only the occasional flat cross-section could show that someone had been here. But the footprints on the moss, the sword marks on the branches, the fallen wildflowers and weeds will always recover over time, turning this place into a place of isolation once again.

The canopy is like a cover, so that the outside sun cannot shine in.

The ground is damp all year round, all kinds of shade-loving plants grow wildly, some bushes are even taller than people, and many weeds that can only reach the knee outside can grow to shoulder height here, and in some places they are even taller than people. Fifth, listening to the clouds, they walked in it, and their vision was not very broad.

However, this kind of damp environment is very suitable for the growth of various spiritual materials.

Fifth, hearing the clouds, they had just crossed the two mountain passes, and the bag in Bai Jie's hand had already contained more than ten kinds of spiritual materials. In the list of spiritual materials given by Mr. Hua, there are several spiritual materials that are not very detailed, and the fifth Tingyun has also picked up similar ones.

The forest is very quiet.

Only the rustle of the three of them walking.

Occasionally, you can hear the sounds of various beasts such as apes crying or tiger roaring deeper in the forest, but due to the distance, these howls echo repeatedly in the dense forest, making the environment even more silent.

Bai Jiexu felt that such an environment was really panicked, and trotted two steps and walked side by side with the fifth Tingyun: "Childe, there are only five spiritual materials left on the list." ”

"Really?" said the fifth, who opened the way in front of him, trampling down the weeds as thick as an arm and taller than a man's head with his feet, "What is left?"

Bai Jie flipped through the list and said, "I'll take a look...... Well...... There are also Mo Yelian and Land Rover's relics......"

Fifth Tingyun listened and hurriedly asked, "What is the Land Rover Relic?" Saying that, he took the list handed over by Bai Jie, before he only glanced at it cursoryly, and didn't pay much attention to it, and then he took a closer look after listening to Bai Jie, it turned out that this Land Rover Relic was also called a keel.

Although it is called so, it is actually only fossilized bones of dead mammals such as elephants, rhinoceros, three-toed horses, etc. Thinking that it was to refine the Bone Renewal Pill, it was reasonable for this bone fossil to be used in medicine, so he remembered the appearance on the painting and paid attention to it as he walked.

Shi Fu, who was hanging at the back, said leisurely at this time: "Boy, remind you, although the Land Rover Relic is not a treasure, it is impossible to have it in this forest where a bird's egg is suffocated." ”

The dead old man finally spoke to give some hints, and the fifth heard Yun nodded and asked politely, "Master, then according to your well-informed vision, where should we go?"

"First," Shi Fu said, holding out a finger, "go to places like cliffs and rock formations, where it is easy to find accumulated fossils. ”

Fifth, Tingyun nodded hurriedly, looking like he had been taught.

"Second," Shi Fu stretched out another finger, "look for the nests of rhinoceros, wild elephants, and so on." In such an inaccessible place, and the elemental power is so dense, most of the beasts have already opened their spirits, and all the demonic beasts that have opened their spirits will definitely not throw away the bones of their ancestors. On the contrary, they will treasure and even enshrine it. ”

As soon as the master Fu said this, the fifth Tingyun realized that the mountains were not only humid and sultry, but also rich in elemental power. Is it no wonder that so many mercenaries have formed groups to come in, and how many of them will not do it as cultivators? The Yanhua Empire explicitly forbade cultivators to kill people and protect human rights, but on the way of cultivation, especially the path of martial arts, how many of them can finally become enlightened without being tempered again and again? Therefore, it has become the general trend to form groups to compete with the demonic beasts of Wanli Mountain.

"Well, go to the cliff. "Fifth, Tingyun won't be stupid enough to kill directly into the beast herd, if you can go to the cliff, why bother to go to the beast's nest to find it uncomfortable?
