Chapter 361: Through the Hidden City
After the Dao Yuan Bead arrived, Lin Qianxing was not in a hurry to use it.
He also had to go find an accessory for Dao Yuanzhu.
When the two things are combined, they can better play their functions.
Lin Qianxing took one step, his figure flickered, and he appeared directly thousands of miles away, and then he took another step, and it was another thousand miles.
As Lin Qianxing's figure continued to flicker in the air, it didn't take long for him to come to the edge of a magnificent human city.
Through the secluded city.
An ancient city of the human race that has been built for tens of thousands of years.
It was built near a monument called Ghost Ridge, hence its name.
There are hundreds of millions of human races living in it, which is already comparable to a country.
The city was ruled by a fifth-order powerhouse, and its strength was so strong that it could be counted even in the entire Spirit Source Heaven.
He was supposed to fly to the Upper Realm, but for some reason he was forced to stay here.
No one knows exactly why.
Inside the Mengruo auction house.
One by one, the cherished items were carried up by the seemingly delicate auction ladies and the auctioneers made bids.
"A pair of wings of the juvenile feather clan, which has a not weak wind essence, whether it is edible or refining, it is a good thing"
A pair of blue wings were placed on the booth, making countless bidders show a little interested.
"Today's Yu clan is already a rare commodity, I haven't seen it for a long time, I didn't expect to see it again today"
"No matter how much money you have, you have to buy it."
"Ten thousand purple spirit coins."
"Ten Thousand Three"
In the corner, Lin Qianxing looked at this scene expressionlessly, and there were not too many mood fluctuations.
For some human races, not to mention the wings of the feather clan, it is the tail meat of the mermaids, and they will eat the gall of the scale people.
And the way of eating is also very perverted, directly tying the victim to eat raw, and watching them struggle while eating.
It's not that Terrans are inherently perverted.
It's the same for all sapient races.
When you are in a strong position, higher up in the food chain, and there is no moral and legal constraint, it is natural to infinitely magnify the dark side of your heart.
But it's really not civilized to do so.
People are also intelligent beings, and it is also a respect for oneself to make up for one more knife before eating.
Halfway through the auction, the auctioneer pulls out a map.
"The map of the Ghost Ridge, this is a new road that has been opened up, up to four thousand miles, the ghost mines and dangerous places along the way are marked, the seller has signed a contract with me, only sold once, and will not go again after that, after getting it, this road is your private mining road, the starting price is one thousand purple spirit coins."
"Four thousand miles? Who can go that far? ”
"Could it have been hollowed out? He just sold maps and wanted to make more money? ”
"It's also very valuable to hollow it out, who can enter a place three thousand miles away except for those fourth-order great cultivators? The road has been carved out and is much safer to walk. ”
During the discussion, Lin Qianxing silently raised a card.
"Two thousand purple spirit coins once." The auctioneer spoke up.
"I'll give you three thousand purple spirit coins." A man spoke up.
"Three thousand purple spirit coins once."
Lin Qianxing raised his card again.
"Four thousand purple spirit coins once."
"Five thousand purple spirit coins!"
Lin Qianxing's face did not change color.
"6,000 Purple Spirit Coins"
After a short time, the price soared to 10,000 purple spirit coins.
At this time, there was only one person left to bid with Lin Qianxing.
The other side seems to be determined to win.
When Lin Qianxing raised to fifteen thousand, he glanced at the other party, and then stopped raising his cards.
Because he didn't have half a purple spirit coin in his pocket, and he knew that if he raised his card again, the other party would not follow.
"Sixteen thousand purple spirit coins once, twice, three times, congratulations to this son for getting this map of Ghost Ridge!!" The auctioneer spoke up.
Time passed, and soon the auction came to an end.
The bidders got up and prepared to leave.
As soon as Lin Qianxing walked to the door, a voice came.
"Your Excellency in black ahead, please stay."
Hearing the sound, Lin Qianxing stopped and looked back.
It's the person who took the map before.
It was a young man who looked about twenty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with ordinary facial features, which made it worth noting that his eyes were not as simple as his apparent age, but full of vicissitudes.
"What?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"In Xia Shangchen, the people of Luoyu District in the hidden city." Shang Chen first introduced himself, and then said to Lin Qianxing: "Dare to ask the name of Mr.?" ”
"Lin Kong." Lin Qianxing Road.
"Mr. Lin is bidding for the map, he is planning to go to Ghost Ridge to collect ghost stones, right?" Shang Chen asked.
"What do you mean?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"This map is not available to me alone, I see that Mr. has a strong aura, if I can travel with Mr., I will be a little more sure." Shang Chen said.
"I'm not going to protect the cumbersome." Lin Qianxing Road.
"It's not talented in the lower ranks, but the [Water Master] of the third order pole." Shang Chen said.
"When are you leaving?" Lin Qianxing nodded.
"Three days later, Chen Shi will be at the east gate of Tongyou City, in addition to Mr., I will also find some other helpers." Shang Chen said.
"Anyone else? So if you find something, how do you divide it? Lin Qianxing said again.
"Naturally, whoever finds it first will be the one who finds it." Shang Chen said.
"That's by strength? So why look for others? Lin Qianxing pretended to be dissatisfied.
"No, no, no, I will find a deed master to make a deed, so it is actually distributed according to luck." Shang Chen explained.
Lin Qianxing nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll see you in three days." ”
After speaking, Lin Qianxing turned his head and left.
Behind Lin Qianxing, Shang Chen looked pensive.
He didn't mean to invite Lin Qianxing originally, but when the two were competing for the map, he accidentally glanced at Lin Qianxing with his Dao skills, wanting to get his specific information.
But what surprised him was that none of his third-order extreme [connoisseurs] could see Lin Qianxing's specific energy level and information clearly.
This can only show one problem, Lin Qianxing is either a fourth-order, or it means that he has some powerful hole cards on him that conceal his aura.
Shang Chen was lacking a powerful helper, Lin Qianxing's appearance naturally made him overjoyed, and Lin Qianxing seemed to have the intention of exploring the Ghost Ridge, so he hurriedly came to invite Lin Qianxing.
And Lin Qianxing agreed, everything was so smooth.
But the only thing Shang Chen didn't feel right was that it all seemed to be a bit too much of a coincidence?
Shang Chen didn't think too much about this problem, there were many coincidences, and the fact that he could meet Lin Qianxing could only mean that God was helping him.
Three days went by in a flash.
The eastern gate of the city.
In front of a small flying boat, Lin Qianxing and Shang Chen met again.
Behind Shang Chen, there were two men and a woman.
The woman was dressed in a light green shirt and looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with no blade other than a sword.
One of the two men looked a little older and carried a metal shield, and the other looked younger and carried a gun magazine.
"This is Hou Menghan Hou girl, the third-order high-ranking [Physician], this is Brother Luo Ruiluo, the third-order extreme [Imperial Shield Envoy], and this is Lu Rengongzi, the third-order high-ranking [Imperial Spear Envoy]." Shang Chen spoke up and introduced Lin Qianxing one by one, and then he said to the other three: "This is Lin Kong, Mr. Lin, and his cultivation is profound." ”
Several people raised their hands to each other as a greeting.
Then Shang Chen took out a few contracts for everyone to sign.
After everyone carefully checked and found that there was no problem, they wrote down their names.
Once the name is written, the contract dissolves to prove that it has been validated.
It doesn't matter if the name is true or not, what matters is whether that name is signed by you or not.
As long as you sign it, the contract can be pinned to you.
There is nothing messy on this contract, it is nothing more than a constraint on everyone not to attack each other in the process of going out to collect ghost stones this time, and deliberately damaging the interests of the team, etc., and there is not even a statement that they should face danger and fight together, so the binding force is actually average.
"Now that you've signed the deed, let's board the ship." Shang Chen said.
After everyone boarded the ship, Shang Chen said again: "Although the deed has been signed, I still have to say more, what I am waiting for here is wealth, and I also ask you to cooperate with each other, don't have conflicts in the middle." ”
"It's nature." Hou Menghan nodded and said.
Lin Qianxing, Luo Rui and Lu Ren also nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
Bang~!
The energy system beneath the ship is activated, spewing out a large amount of purple particles.
This energy system is different from the source machine in the Nether Kanghua Academy.
What is consumed is not the source qi, but the purple spirit ore.
It is a highly condensed energy crystal, and it is a natural energy ore that can be used directly.
It is very common throughout the Lingyuan Heaven, so it is also used as a currency for trading.
Outside the flying boat, a faint purple light film appeared, and immediately the flying boat began to slowly rise upward.
After reaching a certain height, under Shang Chen's control, the flying boat swept through the sky with a purple light and quickly disappeared between the clouds.
In less than two quarters of an hour, they were already in front of the Ghost Ridge.
In front of everyone, there were patches of fog that went straight to the sky, and they couldn't see the situation inside clearly, even if they used their spiritual power, they couldn't penetrate into it.
These fogs cannot be blown away, and they cannot be dissipated.
Even if the eyesight is excellent, you can only peep at a distance of less than 100 meters.
They are condensed by the soul qi of countless dead souls, and when the living beings are in them, they will be corroded by them, gradually causing their own vitality to be damaged, so they can't stay for long.
The reason why this is the case has to mention the origin of Ghost Ridge.
Shrouded in a radius of 130,000 miles, the Ghost Ridge is said to be a remnant of the Great War of the Hundred Clans hundreds of thousands of years ago, in which there are too many dead creatures to count.
Because of this, there will be this infinite soul mist.
Of course, soul mist isn't entirely bad.
Under the erosion of this soul mist, some changes have gradually taken place in this area.
Among them, the corpses of the dead creatures were eroded by the soul mist and turned into special soul beasts, and the soil and mountain rocks in them were infected by the soul mist and turned into precious "ghost ores".
Ordinary soul beasts are of little value, they are just a piece of rotten flesh that has not been completely corrupted under the protection of the soul mist, but the ghost ore stores pure soul power, which can be directly absorbed and used to improve one's own divine soul, which is a very precious treasure of heaven and earth.
However, it is difficult to enter the soul mist and collect the ghost stone.
Generally, it takes at least a second-order monk to stay in it for half an hour.
Therefore, if the cultivation is not at the fourth order, it is impossible to go too far at all.
After so many years, the people who pass through the ghost city have generally explored about 3,000 miles.
Farther away, only the Great Cultivators of the Fourth Order and above could enter it.
And not all of them can come out of it.
Over the years, there have been many fourth-order great cultivators buried here.
Shang Chen looked at the map and circled around the outside of Ghost Ridge for most of the time, found a certain place, and then rushed straight in.
As soon as they entered it, Lin Qianxing and the others felt an invisible chill seeping in, constantly dissolving the vitality in everyone's bodies.
Not even the energy barrier of the flying boat could stop it.
This is the reason why Ghost Ridge has not been explored for so many years.
These soul mist does not follow common sense at all, ordinary monks cannot touch it, and they cannot interfere with its existence, but it will continue to erode into the monk's body until it completely freezes the monk from the inside out.
And the further you explore, the thicker the soul mist becomes, and the greater the erosion power.
After each exploration, the monk had to rest for a long time before he could recover.
If Shang Chen hadn't bought a map that could go straight to four thousand miles this time, Luo Rui and the others might not have followed him to explore.
All everyone wanted was to quickly solve the problem, quickly follow the safe spot on the map to enter it, find the ghost stone, and then leave quickly.
