Chapter 35: Clearing the Wasteland
Old Man Chu looked at everyone and seemed to be reminiscing.
"Qianfengling will recruit a large number of mortals every year to open up the wasteland, explore the uncivilized land, and the high remuneration is terrifying, it can even be said to be outrageous, basically the reward for one exploration is enough for people in the world to live for half a life, so every year there are countless worldly people who apply and come to open up the wasteland!"
"But with high pay comes high risk!" When Old Man Chu said this, his expression suddenly became bitter, but it was only a flash.
"Most of the areas pioneered by mortals have been roughly explored by monks, but even so, there are still many dangers, and one careless will lose his life, countless people died inexplicably, and some can't even find their bones!"
When Old Man Chu said this, he nodded thoughtfully, he had seen the danger of Qianfeng Ridge, just take the one hundred and seventy-five peaks as an example, although it is a place mastered by human monks, there are still fifth-level demon beasts coiled sideways, and there is also a mutated demon beast, which has the anti-heaven divine power of annihilating divine light, which is really terrifying.
"Although the remuneration is considerable, according to what Old Man Chu said, it is so dangerous, how can anyone be willing to come to open up the wasteland?" Ye Feng asked on the side.
"Alas! Speaking of which, it's not a fairy word! Old Man Chu sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Immortals?" ** Doubts.
Wu Zhiqi was puzzled when he saw it, and explained, "Yes! Legend has it that there are many immortals in the Qianfeng Ridge, and there were once mortals who did not have immortal roots, and they got the strange treasures in the Qianfeng Ridge, and they ascended to the sky in one step, embarked on the immortal path, and became an immortal existence! ”
"Senzo!" ** Ran and Ye Feng both said.
Old Man Chu nodded, "Yes!" Amazing immortal treasure, countless people rush to it, hoping to be like the lucky one, embark on the fairy road, and ask for an eternal life! ”
"There is no shortage of martial arts masters among the mortals who have entered the Thousand Peaks Ridge, and some of them are famous even in the Lingyan Continent, although they cannot be compared with monks, but they are also considered prominent in the world, and the old man is also a little famous, and he has also dominated one side in the martial arts!"
**However, only then did he understand why the meridians of the old man Chu were so wide, it turned out to be a martial artist who had achieved cultivation, no wonder the cold qi could not kill him immediately.
"Countless famous martial artists, for the sake of this immortal treasure, have voluntarily entered the Thousand Peaks Ridge, but unfortunately most of them are in the peak of life and death!"
After saying this, Old Man Chu paused, glanced at Xiaoyu, and his eyes were full of guilt, "Alas! Back then, I was also blindsided, and I also came to pursue this so-called immortal treasure, thinking that with my own skills, even if I can't find the immortal treasure, I can protect myself, and it is always useless to make a sum of money! ”
"But who would have thought that Xianzang didn't find it, and put the lives of Xiaoyu's parents into it, so that Xiaoyu lived helplessly, it was all the old man who was dizzy, and he wanted to pursue some immortal path!" Old Man Chu's face was full of pain, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face began to faintly form a layer of frost.
"Old man, the past is in the past, don't be persistent, I don't think Xiaoyu blames you, right?" ** Ran hurriedly sent a spiritual power to Old Man Chu's body and comforted.
Xiaoyu also hurriedly grabbed Old Man Chu's arm, and said obediently, "Grandpa, don't be sad, Xiaoyu has been relying on grandpa all along!" ”
Old Man Chu was comforted by Xiaoyu's words, his excited emotions were soothed, he smiled gratefully at ** Ran, and continued, "Back then, we opened up the wasteland in the one hundred and thirty-third peak, and we had a dilapidated cave mansion! ”
"The rules of clearing the wasteland, whoever discovers the cave, who has the right to enter the cave first, no matter what is brought out, it belongs to that person, and there is no need to hand it over to the monks of each faction, but there is only one chance, if you are not willing to enter the cave, you can also exchange a large number of rewards with the monks!"
** Ran frowned, and secretly thought in his heart, entering the cave first, it seems that the discoverer has taken a big advantage, but in fact, it is just for mortals to explore the way, if there is any danger, mortals will definitely die, so that the monks can avoid a danger.
And even if there is no danger in the cave, and mortals enter the cave unharmed, it is almost impossible for mortals without spiritual power to bring out anything meaningful, and even if they are brought out, most of them are not usable by mortals, and in the end, I am afraid that they will end up exchanging rewards with the monks.
Therefore, this regulation is almost harmless to the monks, but mortals should be able to easily see the strangeness of this regulation, so why not oppose it!
"How does this rule seem reasonable, and it can even be said that the monks are too generous, but if you think about it carefully, you can know that if a mortal enters the cave, if he encounters the immortal magic set by the master of the cave, he will hardly survive, and even if he is lucky enough to enter a safe cave, most of them will not gain anything!" Old Man Chu said with a frown.
"How so? The value of a cave house is absolutely amazing! Ye Feng didn't seem to believe it, you know, the value of a cave mansion was high enough to make any sect family blush, especially the cave mansion left behind in a secret place like Qianfeng Ridge, it was absolutely extraordinary.
"Mortals can't manipulate spiritual power, let alone take away most treasures, I'm afraid they can't even get close!" ** said.
Old Man Chu nodded, "Yes, but sometimes there are some exercises and pills left in the cave mansion, and there are even anti-heaven pills that can make people have spiritual roots out of thin air!" ”
"Possessing a spiritual root out of thin air, impossible!" Ye Feng shouted.
"Of course it is! In ancient times, there were many elixirs that allowed people to obtain spiritual roots, which were recorded in many ancient books! However, I have read a lot of messy ancient books in recent years, so I also know some legends from ancient times.
"In ancient times, it was tens of thousands of years ago, is it possible that it is true?" Ye Feng asked in disbelief.
"Since the old man said that someone once set foot on the immortal road with the treasures in the cave, then the legend should be true!" **However, I have only seen records in ancient books, and I can't tell the truth from the false, but the old man Chu said that someone got the opportunity to set foot on the fairy road in the Qianfeng Ridge, and it should be related to these legends!
"It's true, I was fortunate enough to see it once back then, but it wasn't obtained by us mortals who opened up the wasteland, but found it by a big monk sect, that elixir was the size of a pigeon's egg, and once it was born, it filled a mountain peak with aroma, and countless demon beasts rushed from other peaks to snatch it!" Old Man Chu said.
"Does grandpa's illness have anything to do with this?" Xiaoyu didn't dare to be interested in any elixir, and only cared about Old Man Chu's condition.
Old Man Chu smiled with relief, and then continued, "That's right, it does have a relationship, the monks had a big battle with the demon beasts back then, and all the demon beasts that would commit crimes in the future were killed, and then left with the spirit pill, grandpa and your parents, and some friends walked into the battlefield together, wanting to collect some demon pills and demon beast materials!" ”
Old Man Chu sighed, "Alas! Who knew that there was a demon beast among them that was not dead, although it was seriously injured, but it was not something that mortals such as me could compete with, your parents and some friends were killed, only grandpa and a few other masters survived, and grandpa was also injured by the cold air spewed out by the demon beast, and fell to the root of the disease! ”
Old Man Chu downplayed the matter, but everyone could feel the loneliness of the old man after saying this.
"Brother Wang, can grandpa's illness be cured?" Xiaoyu looked up at ** Ran, her eyes full of hope.
Wu Zhiqi and Ye Feng also looked at ** Ran, but it was the person concerned, and Old Man Chu didn't care too much.
** Ran frowned, thought for a while, and said, "The demon beast that injured Old Man Chu back then should be a cold attribute demon beast, and its cultivation should not be low, at least a fourth-level demon beast!" ”
Old Man Chu nodded, "That's right, it's a fourth-level cold leopard!" ”
Everyone gasped, a fourth-level demon beast is definitely comparable to a master in the late stage of foundation building, even if he is seriously injured, it should not be underestimated, although the old man Chu and his party are seriously injured, but they can fight and kill the demon beast in the foundation building period as a warrior, and they are really strong.
"I have some clues, but I still need to sort out my thoughts!" **However, there is already a way to treat it in my heart, but it is not the best policy, so I think about it again and again, can I find a better way.
"In that case, Xinran and Junior Brother Ye will live on this stone wall!" Wu Zhiqi opened his mouth and said, leaving the two of them behind.
"Good! It's so new, I haven't lived in a cave yet! Ye Feng's face was full of novelty, and he agreed first.
"Then excuse me!" ** However, he also promised that after all, he still had to treat Old Man Chu, and it would save him trouble by living here.
"Good! Good! Xiaoyu, ask your aunt to prepare two stone caves and clean them up! Wu Zhiqi said happily.
"Yes!" Xiaoyu hurriedly ran out to find Aunt Sun.
**Ran sat down and talked with Mr. Chu for a while, and carefully understood Mr. Chu's physical condition, fortunately, Mr. Chu is also a powerful martial artist, in the world, he is also a famous character, so he is very clear about his physical condition, ** Ran is very satisfied with the feedback he gets, and it is very important for his own treatment.
After a while, a thirty-year-old woman was brought by Xiaoyu, picked up ** Ran and Ye Feng, and arranged two stone caves.
The stone cave is very clean, but the lighting is not very good, but it is not a problem for **, the spiritual eye has a very good night vision function, and the darkness is not an obstacle.
And Ye Feng was even more atmospheric, he directly threw out dozens of spirit stones, inlaid them around the stone cave, and then activated the aura, directly shining the stone cave brightly, looking like he was rich.
** After saying hello to Ye Feng, he walked into the cave, and then carefully laid out a hidden formation, and the entrance of the stone cave disappeared under the effect of the formation, which startled Aunt Sun.
**Ran laid this formation in order not to be disturbed, and in the following days, ** Ran decided to practice well, thinking about how to save the old man, and there were some things that I got during this time, but I didn't have time to count them urgently, and there were a lot of things to deal with.
**However, the light flashed in his hand, and a broken manuscript appeared in his hand, which was the manuscript purchased in Sili, which was about the secret method of raising spirit animals, and he hadn't looked at it yet.
"Huh! This secret method is quite novel! **Ran's eyes lit up, and he was very interested in the contents of the manuscript!
PS: Routine, ask for collection after the chapter, click, flowers! Although the effect is not very good, it still persists!
