"In Xia Honglie, I have seen a few Taoist friends."

The one who finally won the jade medal and entered the mountain protection array, Shan Ze Ye Xiu, said with his fists clenched at this moment.

It's just that in response to him, it was the cold faces of several people, and the unconcealed displeasure in their eyes.

Seeing this, Li Buwei opened his mouth happily, gave a brief introduction to this person, and reported the names of several people beside him, looking very enthusiastic.

It's no wonder, after all, it seems that there are only two people here, he and Hong Lie, who are from Shan Zeye Xiu, so they naturally want to get closer subconsciously.

Then Li Buwei set the rules for a few people, and listened carefully to Hong Lie in front of him.

When the other party heard this, he nodded his head as a matter of course, indicating that he had no objection to this.

"You should do it according to the rules set by all the Taoist friends!"

He glanced around with a bright smile, looking somewhat harmless.

It's just that no one can forget that just a moment ago, the man in front of him shot out from behind and sent out the monks who broke out of the siege together, as a delay and delay.

Although these people were brought together temporarily, and everything they did was for the sake of profit, this kind of practice is still somewhat difficult to like.

Even Ji Yuan, who has always acted decisively, is now just as unhappy, which has nothing to do with the so-called morality, but from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't look down on such behavior.

"Now that everyone is here, let's choose our own path."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Li Buwei proposed with a smile.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was called Nanxi by the people in the rivers and lakes turned around and chose the most middle road, and then climbed the mountain without a glance.

Not far away, Shi Shan took the fire monkey and stepped on another adjacent mountain road.

Among the nine people, two of them had the highest cultivation in the middle of the Spirit Realm, and they successively chose the road leading to the top of the mountain.

The rest of the people naturally had no opinion on this, and after looking at each other, Lu Xian took his junior sister and his Taoist companion to a mountain road on the left.

"Ji Daoyou, you choose first."

Li Buwei looked deeply, and the young Taoist priest not far away beside him had an imperceptible flash of fear in his eyes.

Obviously, this person has not forgotten that when he first broke into the mountain gate, the abundant and flowing sword intent on the other party's body, and the fact that it has always given people an unfathomable feeling.

Ji Yuan bowed slightly, but he was not polite to this person, and took Zhou Lianying and walked on the rightmost mountain road.

This move, not only Li Buwei and Hong Lie, but even the girls around them were stunned.

According to the normal practice, it is natural to choose the road closest to the top of the mountain, after all, no one knows what the situation is on the mountain, if there are no other restrictions, the person who reaches the top the fastest can be the first to enter the cave.

Everyone knows that the real chance must be hidden in the cave in the mountain, and what can be placed outside may indeed have some value, but it must not be as good as the good things in the cave.

However, Ji Yuan's move can be said to be the opposite, choosing one of the farthest mountain roads, if he walks slower, or delays a little time, it is very likely that he will be the last person to reach the top of the mountain.

After walking a long distance along the mountain road at her feet, Zhou Lianying couldn't help but ask, expressing some doubts about this behavior.

"There's something wrong with that Lee."

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan took out a soundproof note, activated it before saying, "He should know something, we don't know."

Waiting for the ownership of the fifth jade medal was proposed by this person, and the reason why everyone did not oppose it was that they also wanted to know who won the jade medal in the end, and the province was followed behind by someone when climbing the mountain, and there was a possibility of secretly plotting.

As for another reason, I am also worried that the entrance to the cave at the top of the mountain may require five tokens to gather before you can enter it.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and the predecessors of many sects and forces, when teaching their disciples, will focus on mentioning this matter, even if

It's an ordinary casual cultivation or a mountain wilderness cultivation, and it can be summed up after a lot of experience.

But Ji Yuan felt that this person's idea didn't seem to be so simple, and there should be a deeper meaning.

But this is just a feeling, what Li Buwei did was not suspicious at all, and naturally he couldn't see any clues.

Sometimes, however, the monk's intuition is more accurate than the empirical evidence, especially for those with strong spiritual sense, who are extremely difficult to be blinded by others, but can feel something unusual.

"Shouldn't we be more careful with this person, then?"

After Zhou Lianying listened, a blank look appeared on her face.

It seems that he didn't expect that it was just an exploration of the cave, but there were so many twists and turns hidden in it.

Seeing her with such an expression, Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, if this woman is not pretending, she is really a little ignorant of the world and rarely touches similar things.

"Regardless of whether Li Buwei has a problem or not, being cautious with anyone is always a good thing."

He spoke earnestly, and instead of his usual taciturnity, he actually said a lot more.

Hearing this, Zhou Lianying nodded as if she didn't understand, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly asked, "Is that for you, and you should also be cautious?"

「……」

The corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't pay attention to the woman next to him, and silently sped up a few steps.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared in the girl's eyes, and she snorted softly and followed closely behind her.

In fact, there is another reason why he chose this mountain path, when he was first at the edge of the deep pit, he found that this direction had the most spiritual light.

And on the mountain peak, there are three places where the aura is strongest, and one of the waterfalls is on this road.

The medicine field halfway up the mountain can also be reached smoothly by following this road, while other mountain roads cannot be reached here.

The rest of the people didn't know, but they cared more about the things in the cave at the top than the chance at the bottom of the mountain.

Not to mention, one of the three places where the aura is strongest is the rosewood tree on the top of the mountain.

As long as you go fast enough, you can be sure that you won't miss it.

As soon as the two of them walked at the foot of a mountain, the mountain road in front of them suddenly opened up, and a clearing paved with blue bricks appeared in front of them.

In the open space of dozens of zhang, a quadrangular tripod that is taller than a person is standing quietly in the center, in which there are only three sandalwood sticks that are only half cut and the thickness of an arm.

This incense has long been extinguished and no longer burns, but you can still smell the mellow and mellow fragrance from afar, making people feel as if they are in a Taoist temple or temple.

Except for the big tripod and the three sandalwoods, there are no other objects here, and it looks empty.

After looking at it for a while, Ji Yuan cautiously approached slowly, his eyes fell on the big ding, carefully observing whether there was any protection from formations, prohibitions, etc.

"This turned out to be a magic weapon!"

After a while, Zhou Lianying beside her exhaled in a low voice, looking at the big ding in front of her with some disbelief.

It was extremely difficult for her to imagine that someone would throw a ritual artifact at the foot of the mountain, as if it was just an object of incense.

For a small sect, only by pouring the power of the upper and lower sects can they hold a magic weapon in good condition, and only the head of the sect is qualified to use it, and it will be regarded as the inheritance of the sect.

Even if it is an ordinary spiritual realm cultivator, it is difficult to have a magic weapon in his body, and only disciples from the great sect can get the gift of the sect.

is similar to Liu Donglai and Wang Xiaoxuan of the Nine Xuanmen, each of them has a long sword, which was given by the sect when he was promoted to the inner gate, but at best, it is only the lowest level magic weapon with only one prohibition.

"This Dading is in good condition."

After making sure that there was no secret hand, Ji Yuan stroked the big ding in front of him, and at the same time absorbed one of his own mana.

In just an instant, he felt the fivefold prohibition contained in the Great Ding, although

It's all inscribed the day after tomorrow, but it can be regarded as a very good condition.

Most of the magic weapons in the Second Realm cultivators are only one to three levels of acquired prohibition, and even if so, it is enough to sell them at a high price in the outside world, and there is no need to think about it without tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If it is about value, a big tripod containing five layers of acquired prohibitions, not counting the materials cast, is already comparable to a magic weapon with one or two innate prohibitions.

"The real value is amazing, and it should be these three sandalwood sticks that are only half left."

Ji Yuan withdrew the palm that was placed on the big ding, and then set his eyes on the three sandalwood sticks.

This incense is far from being as simple as that used in ordinary Taoist temples and temples, just from the smell, he sniffed out a lot of expensive medicinal materials, and there are fine crystal particles on its surface, and some precious ores should also be used.

The sandalwood made in this way will not be felt by anyone to have no other wonderful use.

"What's wrong with these three sticks of incense?"

Zhou Lianying asked curiously, she only felt that the fragrance was good, but she couldn't find the mystery.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan groaned slightly, and then said slowly: "If it is not bad as expected, this incense should have the effect of calming the mind and concentrating, cleansing the heart demons and distracting thoughts, and after lighting it, it can be worth at least a few days of hard work."

This is only a part of the effect that he guessed based on the smell and the surface of the incense, and whether it actually has other functions can only be known after igniting it.

With a flash of light, Ji Yuan put the two things into the jade wrench, looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he took Zhou Lianying to continue climbing the mountain.

However, at the beginning, he was able to get a good Da Ding and precious sandalwood with all the effects unknown, which made him feel very good, and he couldn't help but look forward to the next journey.

And when Ji Yuan took Zhou Lianying to climb the mountain, more than a hundred miles away from here, Elder Hong Tian was urging a light boat to fly through the air at a height of dozens of zhang.

On the light boat, there were more than ten disciples following, including Zhao Yuansong, Wu Chengqing and Yu Qingling.

They rushed to the Caixia Liuyun Ladder early and reported the matter of half of the remnants to the elders of the Nine Xuanmen who were stationed here.

However, at that time, many disciples asked for help, and the Caixia Liuyun Ladder could not be left unguarded, so it delayed for a long time, and when the manpower was finally free, he immediately asked Elder Hong Tian to take the disciples and rush there as quickly as possible.

A spiritual object that can condense the spiritual liquid, even if only half of it is broken, it is still enough to move a famous sect like Jiuxuanmen, and send the elders and disciples under the sect.

Not to mention that the people who are now related to the luck of the sect are falling into a situation where they don't know life and death, and are being pursued by dozens of monks.

In this way, Elder Hong Tian, who was the first to rush to support, was already anxious in his heart.

As far as the public is concerned, it is a major matter of the sect, so naturally there is no slack off, and after this period of contact, he also values this junior very much.

Privately, he had been trapped in the late stage of the Three Realms for a long time, and there was not much left of Shou Yuandu, so he was counting on the qualifications to enter the forbidden land promised by the head of the sect, as well as the opportunity that came down when the sect was promoted, and took the most critical step in one fell swoop.

So no matter what, he had to make sure that Ji Yuan was fine, even if he didn't get that half of the Dan furnace!
