Chapter 555: Quid pro quo

Black Mountain Fang City.

Just as Zhou Chun expected, even if a sect like the Jackdaw Gate is closed, it will leave someone with enough identity outside to be responsible for contact.

As the largest city in Liangguo, Black Mountain Fang City naturally has the existence of monks from Jackdaw Gate.

After getting Gu Lie's introduction, Zhou Chun soon met with a mid-Purple Mansion cultivator disciple of the Jackdaw Sect.

"Zhou Shijie, a disciple of the Jackdaw Sect, meet Senior Yan."

In the private room of a teahouse, a black-clothed man with an old face came here, and even respectfully saluted Zhou Chun.

After hearing the other party's self-reported name, Zhou Chun's expression also moved, and then he smiled kindly: "Zhou Daoyou don't have to be polite, sit down and talk first." ”

"Thank you seniors for the seat."

The man in black replied respectfully, but sat down directly without being too polite.

After he sat down, Zhou Chun didn't go around in circles, and went directly to the topic and said: "The reason for meeting Zhou Daoyou today, has Gu Daoyou ever talked to Zhou Daoyou?" ”

"The ancient predecessors have mentioned some of them, saying that the Yan seniors want to exchange the three-thousand-year-old golden thread dendrobium elixir with this sect?"

When Zhou Shijie said this, he looked at Zhou Chun with a look of verification.

But seeing Zhou Chun nodded slightly, he said, "That's right, I don't know if your sect still has such elixir?" Are you willing to accept the exchange? ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Shijie immediately bowed his head and replied: "Since Senior Yan is a person recommended by the ancient seniors, the younger generations will not hide it from the seniors, this sect does have a three-thousand-year-old golden thread, but such spiritual objects are extremely precious, only after the elders and the sect masters discuss together, can they decide whether to exchange with others!" ”

This answer was also expected by Zhou Chun, and he immediately said: "Then please ask Zhou Daoyou to convey this matter quickly, Yan is waiting for the good news of Daoyou in the market." ”

"Please rest assured that Senior Yan, the junior will definitely convey this matter to the door as quickly as possible."

Zhou Shijie replied with a solemn face, and then the first meeting between the two ended.

At the same time, just as Zhou Chun and Zhou Shijie were meeting, Gu Lie was also talking about him with another Zhenyangmen Jindan elder in Fang City.

I saw Gu Lie first ask, "Senior Brother Yu asked me to promise to help contact the people of the Jackdaw Sect, what are the plans?" ”

The "Senior Brother Yu" in his mouth is an old man with gray hair, with the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan.

In the face of his inquiry, Senior Brother Yu replied with a calm face: "The reason why the Jackdaw Gate closed the mountain this time, Senior Brother Gu also knows that they found Benmen for help, but although Benmen didn't want to destroy them, he didn't want to offend Dihuo Gate for them. ”

"It's rare that there are foreign Jindan monks coming over to ask them now, why don't you be a favor and give them a chance to find foreign aid!"

However, this answer didn't seem to satisfy Gu Lie, and he looked at him with some unhappiness at the moment and said, "Senior brother, why bother me, a Jindan early stage monk, even if his strength is extraordinary, how can he help the Jackdaw Gate get out of trouble?" ”

Seeing this situation, Senior Brother Yu couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "Hey, Senior Brother Gu, you are good at everything, but you have a bit of love and sincerity!" ”

After speaking, he said helplessly: "Okay, to tell you the truth, according to the information revealed by the Jackdaw Gate, Zheng Daoyou of the Earth Fire Gate should have died at the hands of the fourth-order demon beasts in the Misty Immortal Ridge, and they hope that this gate can help find the relics on the fallen Zheng Daoyou to confirm the matter, so that the Earth Fire Gate will be morally untenable!" ”

"It's just that Senior Brother Gu, you also know that there is a fifth-order demon king in the Misty Immortal Ridge, if we, the Jindan stage cultivators, enter it, the slightest big movement may alarm that existence, and then life and death will not be in our own hands!"

"Therefore, the senior brother of the head of the sect did not dare to easily agree to the request of the Earth Fire Gate, and now he is worried about this matter!"

After hearing his words, Gu Lie suddenly muttered to himself: "So Senior Brother Yu asked the junior brother to pull the strings for that Yan Daoyou, because he wanted the Jackdaw Gate to use the three-thousand-year-old medicinal golden thread as a trading condition, so that Yan Daoyou could enter the Misty Immortal Ridge to find the fallen Zheng Daoyou's relics?" ”

"That's right, if Jackdaw Gate wasn't stupid, it should understand the hint of what we were waiting for!"

Senior Brother Yu bowed slightly, confirming his statement.

"But will that Yan Daoyou agree to this? He couldn't have known how dangerous Misty Immortal Ridge was! ”

Gu Lie frowned again, as if he didn't look confident.

Senior Brother Yu closed his eyes together, and said lightly: "Then it's none of our business, in short, we have given the opportunity." ”

Seeing him like this, Gu Lie didn't want to ask any more questions, and the conversation between the two could only end there.

On the other side, Zhou Chun waited in Heishanfang City for seven days, and then met Zhou Shijie again.

"What? Your sect wants Yan to enter the Misty Immortal Ridge to find the relics of the missing Earth Fire Gate Jindan monk for you! ”

In the private room of the teahouse, after Zhou Chun listened to Zhou Shijie's words, his face also changed, and he was speechless for this request of the Jackdaw Gate.

I saw him look at Zhou Shijie with an ugly face and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Daoyou, what happened to your family now, Yan is also very sympathetic in his heart, but with just one elixir, is it too much to want Yan to risk his life to enter the dangerous place to work for your family?" Do you think that Yan's life is worth such an elixir? ”

In the end, there was inevitably some anger in his tone.

This made Zhou Shijie, who was facing his anger, suddenly feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and hurriedly stood up and bowed down to explain: "Senior Yan, you are angry, and the younger generation is just passing on the meaning of the door, if you are not satisfied, the junior will react to the matter with the door!" ”

In fact, he felt in his heart that this request was a bit too much, but since the door asked him to tell him like this, he couldn't help it.

However, he would never face the wrath of a Jindan monk for the sake of the sect's affairs!

"Hmph, if this is just a temptation by your family, then please tell those elders of your family, Yan is asking to buy elixir, but a thousand-year-old treasure medicine is not so rare that only your family has it, if you really don't want to exchange, then Yan doesn't want to waste more time in Liangguo!"

After Zhou Chun said these words with a gloomy face, he directly threw off his sleeves and left the private room, not giving Zhou Shijie, a monk of his own family, a chance to say more.

After another nine days passed, Zhou Shijie invited Zhou Chun to the private room of the teahouse again with the will of the high-level officials of Jackdaw Gate.

After seeing that Zhou Chun was invited, he immediately greeted him and saluted respectfully: "Lao Yan's seniors have been waiting for a long time, and the juniors are here to apologize to their seniors on behalf of the sect!" ”

But Zhou Chun didn't buy it, just said with a cold face: "Don't talk about these useless nonsense, you Jackdaw Gate has been discussing for so long, what is the result?" Although Yan has a good temper, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a temper! ”

In this regard, Zhou Shijie could only respond with a flattering face: "Yes, yes, Yan, senior, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, and the junior will inform the seniors of the results of the discussion in the door!" ”

After inviting Zhou Chun to sit down, he first poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chun personally, and then said respectfully: "Senior Yan Mingjian, after many discussions among the elders in the sect, they have reached an agreement, as long as Senior Yan can find and bring back the useful relics of Senior Zheng of the Earth Fire Gate and prove that it fell into the hands of a fourth-order demon beast, this sect will give two golden threads with a medicinal age of more than three thousand years to Senior Yan as a reward!" ”

But it directly doubled the reward!

However, after Zhou Chun heard Zhou Shijie's words, he still frowned, and said with a dissatisfied look: "Why is it still this condition?" You Jindan monks of the Jackdaw Sect are all so afraid of death, no one dares to go to the Misty Immortal Ridge for the sake of the sect? ”

The words were full of sarcasm, mocking the greed for life and fear of death of those Jackdaw Sect elders.

Zhou Shijie heard this, so he naturally wanted to defend the elders of the sect, and hurriedly explained: "Senior Yan is serious, it's not that the elders of the sect are unwilling to take risks, but now the Earth Fire Gate is bent on destroying the sect, and the elders can only sit in the mountain gate and work together to preside over the mountain protection array, so that the Earth Fire Gate can be feared, and they really can't spare the manpower to do this!" ”

Speaking of this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with a sincere face and said: "And Senior Yan, don't be deceived by those rumors outside, although it is dangerous in the Misty Immortal Ridge, but for a Jindan period monk like you, it is not as exaggerated as the rumors, otherwise Elder Hu of this sect will not dare to invite Senior Zheng of the Earth Fire Sect to enter it and take risks together." ”

"As long as you are willing to take this matter, this sect will provide you with the most detailed map and intelligence information in the Misty Immortal Ridge, so that you can complete the task in the easiest way!"

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but be silent.

Originally, if it was just a three-thousand-year-old golden thread, he would definitely not want to take this risk.

But with the two elixirs, he was indeed a little moved.

Because Luo Qingni had said before that [Qionghua Yulu] she knew that more than one force had it, and even if she exchanged one plant, she could still find a way to continue to exchange another plant.

And once the two most important main materials are assembled, the remaining auxiliaries of [Yulu Jinxia Dan] are relatively much easier to find.

Zhou Chun didn't dare to guarantee that Luo Qingni would be able to produce a few pills for the first time refining [Yulu Jinxia Pill], if the number of pills was small, he was afraid that it would not be enough for him to directly take it to the middle stage of the impact golden pill.

But if he could refine two furnaces of [Jade Dew Jinxia Pill], then he would definitely be able to rush to the middle stage of Jindan with the power of the elixir, and he might even leave one or two for Lin Hongyu and Su Yuzhen to use.

Therefore, after pondering for a while at this time, he looked at Zhou Shijie and said: "Yan wants to take a look at the information prepared by your sect first, and then inquire in detail about the information about Mixian Ling, so that he can decide whether to agree to this deal!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shijie hesitated slightly, then quickly nodded and said: "The juniors can promise the seniors on behalf of the sect in this matter, but now the persecution on the side of the Dihuo Gate is very tight, and I also ask the seniors Yan to give the juniors a positive answer as soon as possible!" ”

"Then let's do it first!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand noncommittally and did not give any promises.

Seeing this, although Zhou Shijie was still worried in his heart, he could only honestly hand over the relevant intelligence information to Zhou Chun, and then retired first.

In the next few days, Zhou Chun also checked the intelligence information about Mixian Ridge that Zhou Shijie gave him, and asked Luo Qingni to help him find out relevant information from others.

In this way, after five or six days of research and investigation, Zhou Chun also had a relatively in-depth understanding of the forbidden land of the Liang Kingdom in Mixian Ridge.

Judging from the intelligence data, the forbidden place of Mixian Ridge should be a natural danger as a whole.

The mountain range, known as the "Lost Immortal Ridge", is a lofty mountain range with a length of 800 miles and a width of more than 500 miles.

The interior of the lofty mountains here is rich in aura, the terrain is complex, and there are many rare birds and beasts and poisonous insects.

Most of these areas will be shrouded in fog for most of the time, with only two hours, the midday and the second hour, when the fog will be cleared and it will be easy to enter and exit.

But the fog is just a performance, and this is not the reason why the mountains and mountains here have won the honor of "Lost Immortals".

According to the exploration and speculation of the senior monks of the Liang Kingdom, there may be a scattered super-large "Chaos Stone" vein under the Misty Immortal Ridge, and then the veins amplify each other to form a natural super-large Ecstasy God Formation!

In the world of cultivating immortals, the "Chaos God Stone" is not a precious thing, but just a relatively rare stone.

This kind of stone is not particularly hard, but it has a characteristic that it has a natural confusing effect on the divine consciousness of immortal cultivators.

If an immortal cultivator is thrown into a house built with "chaotic god stones", and he releases his divine consciousness to observe the outside world, the final result is basically wrong!

The effect of the natural Ecstasy Formation in the Misty Immortal Ridge is very powerful, and even if a real person in the Yuan Infant Stage enters it, it will be greatly affected.

For immortal cultivators, once the divine sense is interfered with and there is a mistake in judgment, that body's strength will be seriously weakened.

However, there is still a fifth-order demon king lurking in the Misty Immortal Ridge!

I don't dare to say that the fifth-order demon king is not affected by the natural Misty God Array, but the powerful physique and natal supernatural powers of the demon beasts undoubtedly make them occupy great convenience in the Misty Immortal Ridge.

Therefore, naturally no Yuan Infant Monk would risk his own fall, go deep into it to kill the Demon King, and level the area.

Over time, Mixian Ridge has become a special forbidden place in the Liang Kingdom, and an adventure paradise for the middle and low-level monks of the Liang Kingdom!

However, this is just the statement in the classics, whether the formation of the Lost Immortal Ridge is really the case, no one knows, at least Zhou Chun doesn't know.

He didn't care about that, either.

What made him care about it was the various rare elixirs and rare birds and beasts in the Misty Immortal Ridge recorded in the intelligence materials given by the Jackdaw Gate.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the intelligence information given by the Jackdaw Gate records many treasures that the monks of the Liang Kingdom once brought out from the Misty Immortal Ridge.

For example, he had only seen the rare elixir [Nine-Leaf Huiyang Grass] recorded in the classics, which was a necessary main material for refining [Huiyang Spiritual Water].

And [Huiyang Spiritual Water] is a legendary spiritual creature, it is said that even if the physical vitality is extinguished, as long as it remains generally intact, it can be brought back to life after taking this thing!

This thing can be described as a divine object for monks below the Yuan Infant Stage!

Bring such a spiritual object with you, even if someone suddenly pierces the heart or beheads it with a sword one day, as long as the soul consciousness is still there, you can use this thing in time, and you can instantly come back to life!

And for the Yuan Infant Monk, the effect of [Huiyang Spiritual Water] is even greater.

As we all know, under normal circumstances, even a primordial infant monk can only take it once!

If the body is destroyed again after the seizure, there is no chance of taking it.

And once this happens, and there are no rare spiritual objects such as [Huiyang Spiritual Water], the Yuan Infant Cultivator can only choose to parasitize in the refining corpse or puppet.

In that case, not only will you not be able to fully exert your strength, you will no longer be able to continue cultivating, but your longevity will be greatly reduced, and it won't take too many years to destroy your soul!

However, if you have the [Huiyang Spiritual Water] in your hand, you can use this thing to create a pure Yang Dharma Body to accommodate the Yuan Baby.

Although the Pure Yang Dharma Body has no possibility of breaking through upwards once it is shaped, it can allow the Yuan Infant Stage Monk to fully exert his own strength, and there is no need to worry that the Yuan Infant does not have a suitable body to accommodate it and continue to lose the origin, and the longevity of the Yuan Yuan is greatly reduced!

Therefore, after the discovery of the [Nine-Leaf Huiyang Grass] in the Misty Immortal Ridge, it even attracted several Yuan Infant monks from the Liang Kingdom to join forces to enter it to retrieve the treasure, and no one knows whether it succeeded in the end.

In addition, some people have found the figure of the rare spirit bird Fenghuoluan in the Misty Immortal Ridge, which is a spirit bird with the blood of Qingluan, and the rarity is even greater than that of Jiaolong!

At the same time, in the history of the Jackdaw Gate, there were monks who killed rare and exotic beasts in the Misty Immortal Ridge, and refined a very powerful fire-repelling magic weapon with their rhino horns.

All in all, in addition to the dangers, there are indeed a lot of good things in the Misty Immortal Ridge.

As for what Jackdaw Gate asked Zhou Chun to do.

According to their own accounts, that Jindan period monk surnamed Zheng of the Earth Fire Sect had originally entered the Misty Immortal Valley to collect medicine in cooperation with a Jindan elder of their own sect, and was going to take away a rare thousand-year-old treasure medicine that had just matured from near the lair of a fourth-order demon beast.

As a result, as soon as they defeated the demon beast, they fought because of the distribution problem.

The elder of the Jackdaw Gate behind him was invincible, so he could only give up the treasure and escape.

But he didn't want the escaped demon beast to come with a helper, and killed the monk surnamed Zheng who didn't have time to escape.

"A mutant mountain moving bear with a fourth-order low-grade cultivation, and a fourth-order demon beast that doesn't know what realm to cultivate, is this the opponent I may encounter after entering the Lost Immortal Valley?"

In the room, Zhou Chun looked at the information in hand and frowned slightly.

Judging from the description of the elder of the Jackdaw Gate, in addition to being strong in hand-to-hand combat and thick in skin, the mountain moving bear is not very strong, and it is not difficult for him to deal with it.

The only thing to worry about is the unknown fourth-order demon beast.

If it was a fourth-order mid-grade demon beast, or even a fourth-order high-grade demon beast, it would be difficult to do!

"But I'm not trying to kill two fourth-order demon beasts, nor am I going to fight them to the death, I'm just trying to see if I have a chance to get the relics of that unlucky guy at the Earth Fire Gate."

"I have Mu Mei Mu Sang in charge of investigation, so I shouldn't be blocked by a fourth-order demon beast!"

Zhou Chun thought about this, and made a decision in his heart.

Immediately, he summoned Zhou Shijie and informed the other party of his decision.

And after receiving Zhou Chun's summons, Zhou Shijie, who had been anxious for the past few days, immediately came to visit him, and presented a map with a happy face, "This is the map that the monks of this sect have detected when they entered the Misty Immortal Ridge for many years, including the route taken by Elder Hu and Senior Zheng of this sect before, and I also ask Senior Yan to take a look!" ”

"Okay, you just wait for news from Yan in Fang City!"

Zhou Chun accepted the map, waved his hand, and left when he got up.

Before notifying Zhou Shijie, he had already notified Luo Qingni in advance to pick him up somewhere outside the Misian Ridge.

This time, he was the one who went deep into the Misty Immortal Valley to find the relics of the elders of the Earth Fire Gate, but just in case, Luo Qingni would also hide to receive him on the periphery of the Misty Immortal Ridge.

At this time, after rushing to the outside of the Misty Immortal Ridge to meet Luo Qingni, Zhou Chun also made a copy of the map in his hand and handed it to her, and then plunged directly into the Misty Immortal Ridge!

Since he did not enter at noon and before the hour, after Zhou Chun entered the Misty Immortal Ridge, his vision was completely blocked by the gray-white mist.

There is no definite explanation of how this fog was formed, only that even if it is dispelled by magical powers, it will quickly reappear and blind people's sight.

Therefore, the monks who usually enter the Misty Immortal Ridge for adventure either cultivate a secret technique that enhances their eyesight and can see farther in the fog, or they have domesticated demon beasts that are good at early warning and tracking, which can help them avoid enemies and track their prey.

Although Zhou Chun had never cultivated any spiritual powers, as a Jindan stage monk, even if he was in the fog, he could vaguely see the scenery outside a hundred zhang.

However, this distance is obviously completely insufficient for the Jindan period monks.

Therefore, he also quickly slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released Mu Mei Mu Sang and the Golden-winged Tiger.

After Mu Mei Mu Sang was promoted to the fourth order, his spiritual intelligence was also greatly improved, Zhou Chun took out the map, and after ordering it, it took a copy of the map to explore the way first.

The Golden-winged Tiger retracted its wings, carried Zhou Chun slowly deep into the mountains, and chased in the direction of Mu Mei's advance.

Halfway through, Zhou Chun also tried to explore the way with his divine sense, but the experience was very bad.

Divine consciousness here is like a person's gaze on the position of a fish in the water, which is extremely biased.

Some of the consciousness that is released may only stay on the top half of a certain tree, but the bottom half cannot be seen.

A deer eating grass, the divine sense swept over and found only a deer head, and the deer body seemed to be invisible!

This great sense of deviation and distortion is very uncomfortable.

If an ordinary person encounters this situation, it won't take long for them to feel nauseous and vomit.

But Zhou Chun could only endure the discomfort and forced himself to adapt slowly.

Because if he encounters a battle in the future, he still has to release his divine sense to fight, and now he adapts to it more, and then he will not affect his strength because of this uncomfortable feeling.

Of course, limited to the environment here, when the time comes, if you really fight, you can't fully trust the feedback from the detection of your divine consciousness as you can from outside!
