Chapter 171: Into the Far North
"Northern Snowy City." Qu Wuming nodded and continued.
He Buyu shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Lin's Anjiyuan." ”
"Oh?" Qu Wuming chuckled in his heart, but on the surface, he still said lightly, "The last place where Ji Wuchang appeared turned out to be here?" ”
As if he had seen through Qu Wuming's disguise, He Buyu smiled slightly: "According to our investigation, this season of impermanence is used to some small tricks to make people sleepy, especially for ordinary people and those who are not highly cultivated, it is almost impossible to prevent, but even if the person who is tricked is rescued, there will be two faint brown spots near the temples, and it will take at least half a year or so to disperse." ”
"When I came here before, I noticed that almost everyone here has this kind of mark, and I think that after Ji Wuchang escaped to the snowy city in the northern Xinjiang, he must have come here." He Buyu explained, "Considering that the Phaseless Female Demon was also active in the city in the end, and that Ji Impermanence seemed to have disappeared, I judged that Ji Wuchang, whom Qu Daoyou asked me to inquire about, should have died in the hands of the Phaseless Female Demon near this Anjiyuan, right?" ”
Qu Wuming didn't answer his question, but asked in a deep voice: "He Daoyou inquired about Ji Wuchang's heels, I don't know how to charge for this news?" ”
"Hehe, Qu Daoyou, although Ji Wuchang is a small character, I didn't expect that his background behind him involves a lot of secrets, which caused us to inquire about these news at a great cost." He Buyu smiled slightly, "It's just that we are willing to use these prices to buy news from Qu Daoyou!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Someone is very interested in the main cultivation method that Ji Wuchang got in the Demon Beast Continent. As long as Qu Daoyou can inform the whereabouts of this exercise, the previous news can be regarded as a reward. ”
When Qu Wuming heard this, he immediately remembered the "Hehuan Sect Secret Classic" in Ji Wuchang's storage ring, which was burned on the red spar. Although he didn't have time to study it carefully, he found out in the previous browsing process that the part of that exercise involved double cultivation mostly had very evil techniques of collecting and replenishing, and it was definitely not a righteous path technique.
This kind of exercise, no matter how powerful it is, still let it be hidden deep and never be born.
Thinking of this, Qu Wuming had no choice but to shake his head and say: "It's not a secret, but Ji Wuchang was because he wanted to kidnap the people of my Lin Family's Anji Academy, so he exposed his whereabouts, but he was arrived in time by the Wuxiang Witch and killed on the spot." It's just that the things he left behind have been taken away by the Phaseless Witch, and as for whether there is a practice he has cultivated, Qu has no way of knowing. Speaking of which, Qu Wuming silently said sorry to the woman in white in his heart, and said in his heart that your whereabouts are secretive, why don't you say that even if the person behind it is strong, there should be no way to take you......
He Bu said this, but nodded as if he was not surprised: "Sure enough. Thinking that the phaseless female demon was addicted to treasure hunting and killed Ji Wuchang, she naturally wouldn't let go of her storage ring. If I can confirm this news from Qu Daoyou, I will be able to return to my life. ”
"He Daoyou is polite, when I arrived here that day, I only had time to see Ji Wuchang killed by her with one blow! When she disappeared and left, I didn't even notice it. Qu Wuming said "truthfully".
"In that case, then we can be considered to have two businesses cleared up this time." He Buyu got up and hugged his fists and said, "However, He Mou still has two last words to give to Qu Daoyou." ”
Qu Wuming had just gotten up and was about to send off the guests, when he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "What?"
"In the future, if someone asks Qu Daoyou about Ji Impermanence, I hope Qu Daoyou will keep it a secret. It is not an ordinary person who wants to track down Ji Wuchang's exercises, even if the phaseless witch encounters it, it will be easy to please him, if Qu Daoyou doesn't want to cause trouble, today's matter is only between you and me. ”
"I see." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to cause trouble at will." ”
"So good! He said goodbye! ”
……
After sending He Buyu away, Qu Wuming sat quietly in the living room, thinking for a long time, unable to guess what kind of organization was behind He Buyu, and he found out so many hidden things in a few days effortlessly!
It's just that since they are eyeing Ji Wuchang's exercises, Lin Wanqing and the other three people who know that the storage ring is in their hands are afraid that they will have to do some preventive measures.
Before nightfall, Lin Wanqing led people back from the barracks, Qu Wuming called the three of them to his guest room one by one, hid in the space of the Purple Mansion and explained the situation to them, and after getting the permission of the three of them, they deleted all the memories of the three of them about Ji Wuchang, which was relieved.
The Lin Family's Anjiyuan can be regarded as Qu Wuming's only "industry" in the Eastern Continent. Hundreds of years ago, Qu Wuming also invested in some transactions such as wine stores and inns, but in the end, all of them ended in failure. Whether you make money or not is secondary, mainly because Qu Wuming's whereabouts are uncertain, it is difficult to take care of the business for a long time and stably, and there is a fixed industry, and sometimes the income is not as much as the income from piggybacking and selling some special products when you go from place to place.
Of course, the fastest money (spirit stones) is always snatched through battle.
Although Qu Wuming never took the initiative to do those robberies for a living, he was keen to rob those who robbed.
For Qu Wuming, this is the fastest way for cultivators, especially casual cultivators, to make money.
Now that the beast tide has ended, many cultivators from various sects have set out on the road together and rushed to the real extreme north. Qu Wuming settled the affairs of the Lin family's Anji Academy, and left a lot of gold, silver, and spirit stones for Lin Wanqing, so he didn't delay any longer, and left the snowy city in northern Xinjiang by taking advantage of the moonlight, turned into a ray of light, and went straight to the land of the demon clan.
————
It was a few days later to cross the vast snow-capped mountains on the north side of the Northern Frontier Snowy City.
Qu Wuming was worried that there was still a demon clan ambush in the snowy mountains, waiting to hunt and kill the Terran monks who dared to follow and sneak into the demon clan's domain, so for several days, he often sneaked and hidden, and the speed of his daily march was not too fast.
Moreover, Qu Wuming also deliberately avoided the usual route that some sect monks liked to take.
After all, once you enter the Underworld in the future, everyone will be a competitor. In this case, there will never be a shortage of competitors who want to wipe out competitors in advance.
Qu Wuming is not big enough to think that anyone can be easily believed.
On the second day, Qu Wuming was a little nostalgic for Geng Liqiu, he was the only good brother who dared to hand over his back to the other party for so many years, except for his confidante.
It's a pity that Siren has passed away, even though he avenged him, there is no Geng Liqiu in the world.
Constantly moving forward in a daze, gradually, the scenery in front of Qu Wuming's eyes suddenly became brighter.
The snow-capped mountains were left far behind, and there were dense, dark green dense forests everywhere, through which flocks of wild birds would occasionally startle flocks of wild birds, which would spiral from a forest like a shade of the sky, and then circle in the air a few times, and then fall to a few other trees not far away. Or a few small beasts can be startled, scattered in the dense forest grass, and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Several clear streams flow from the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, like jade belts through the dense deep forest, moistening the vegetation on both sides, and flowing into the valley without stopping, gradually merging into a surging river, zigzag towards the north......
This dense forest is extremely rich in products, especially rich in all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and there are almost no demon beasts in this area, so it has become a paradise for many medicine pickers.
Most of the people who come here to collect medicine are cultivators who have stagnated in the Qi cultivation period and the foundation building period.
The qualifications are limited, and it is difficult to continue to improve the cultivation, so they rely on collecting medicine to make a living, in case they are lucky enough to collect a hundred or even thousand years of elixir, they may be able to exchange for an elixir that will help break through, and it is also possible to extend the longevity of dozens or hundreds of years.
This place is already very far away from the Northern Snowy City, in fact, it is even closer to Winterfell from here. As a result, many herb pickers will use Winterfell as a base of residence, and will only travel to Snowy City through the teleportation array when there is a need for a big deal.
Maybe it's because Snow City is the breakthrough point of the beast tide chosen by the demon clan, whether it is before or after the beast tide, it is still the same here, and there is no shadow of any demon beast.
The people who were collecting medicine in the dense forest didn't even know that there had been a fierce battle in the snowy city of Northern Xinjiang a few days ago......
Among the many herb pickers, there are three inconspicuous little people, three of whom have the same temper and often walk together for several years.
Unlike most other herb pickers, this person is actually not very old, but he is about thirty, and he is in the early stage of foundation building. Among them, the older one is called Bianji, and the other two are called Leng Jie and the other is called Gao Mo.
The qualifications of the three of them are put in the general sect, and they belong to the kind of disciples who are not high or low, and they are generally hopeless for promotion, and they can only survive by messing around.
It's just that although the three brothers have mediocre qualifications, their morale is not low, and they are not willing to do nothing in the sect and have a mediocre life.
On this day, the three of them found a stone rhombic flower on the rock wall of a valley, and it seemed that its color was at least decades old! Seeing this, the three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly sacrificed a flying talisman each, condensed a pair of white wings behind their backs, and flew to the rock wall to pick it.
"Haha, good luck today! With this batch of stone linghua in hand, you can at least exchange for hundreds of high-grade spirit stones! Our advanced elixir has finally arrived! Bian Ji said excitedly while struggling to cut the root of the stone rhombus with a knife.
"Hmm!" Leng Jie cut Shi Linghua, and just hummed lightly in agreement.
Gao Mo simply nodded, just cutting his head.
Bian Ji seemed to have long been accustomed to Leng Jie and Gao Mo's taciturn style, so he didn't care at all, and then said to himself: "These are at least sixty years old Shi Ling flowers, so rare, they will definitely be able to sell for a good price." ”
"Hmm." Leng Jie hummed again in response, and slowly flew up along the mountain wall, and after a while, he saw a pitch-black cave about three feet square, hidden in the weeds on the mountain wall, under the blowing of the mountain wind, there was a gentle whimper, indescribably weird......
