Although Qingshu Island is located in the center of the Linyu Sea area, and even the Linyu Sea Scatter Alliance is located here, it is not a large island.

Strictly speaking, it's just a medium-sized island.

Its area is about 3670 miles.

On the outskirts of the island, there are many shops selling all kinds of pills, talismans and other things, and there are also sparsely distributed stalls everywhere, and the intricate calm roads are very densely populated.

As they got closer to the center of the island, the number of shops and stalls drastically decreased, and in their place were scattered monk caves, as well as the branches and headquarters of the large and small forces in the Linyu Sea, such as the headquarters of the Linyu Sea Scattered Cultivation Alliance that Gu Qing had visited.

Gu Qing's face was calm, his eyes were deep, there were no waves, he was surrounded by a group of monks who were in the middle and late stages of foundation building, walking through Qingshu Island shrouded in darkness, after walking through two passes guarded by monks, there were no shops, stalls, or monks' caves, or the offices of any forces.

Several steep mountains, not shrouded in the darkness of the island like a tide, with a height of about 1,000 feet, appeared in front of his eyes.

These steep mountains are intertwined and overlapped, and they are filled with unique light in the vast darkness that envelops the island.

Within a few dozen miles of several mountains, except for Gu Qing and the group of monks who brought him here, there was no other monk figure, and those mountains themselves, some were shrouded in ice and snow, and some were full of verdant, Gu Qing glanced at it from afar, and immediately fixed his eyes on the verdant mountains.

Halfway up this verdant mountainside, there is a relatively flat grassland, about a few miles in a radius, the fence courtyard where the blue-shirted middle-aged man was located that day was located on this flat grass, but at this time the fence courtyard was empty, and the blue-shirted middle-aged man was not seen.

"Fellow Daoist, please go into the mountain and meet that person by yourself." The tall and heroic monk in the late stage of foundation building hugged Gu Qing slightly.

Immediately, he took the group of monks and left quickly.

In the blink of an eye, in front of these bright mountains, only Gu Qing was left, as if there was a slight wind, pouring into the black robe around him, he tightened his clothes, glanced at the team of monks who left, and stepped forward.

The abundance of aura in this place is really the only one I have ever seen in my life.

'Even in the stone tablet space, when the spiritual mist was at its thickest, the spiritual energy was far less abundant than near these peaks...... Just a few steps, there seemed to be thousands of cool air currents, soaking Gu Qing's body, making the speed of the exercises in his body run three points faster.

'Why is it that such a strong aura has not formed a spiritual mist?' Gu Qing felt the clarity of his body and mind like being immersed in a spiritual spring, raised his head and glanced upwards, his pupils shrank.

'The chains......

He seemed to have seen a huge chain in the air!

And at the moment when he saw this huge chain, Gu Qing's eyes suddenly bloomed, and he was shocked to realize that the spiritual power and ancient demon body in his body were all unusable, and his body had a strange feeling of infinite elongation, and when this feeling disappeared, an empty darkness appeared in front of his eyes.

In the empty darkness, a trace of cyan glow condensed, and in an instant, it took shape, turning into a tall woman dressed in a gorgeous purple dress and wearing a golden feather crown - this tall woman's body was extremely terrifying, and just a trace of leakage had suppressed the spiritual power and ancient demon body in Gu Qing's body!

Her face couldn't see clearly, standing in the middle of two strangely shaped slender and convex mountains, with a pair of white eyes, overlooking Gu Qing.

Gu Qing's heart shook, but he was not at all silent, he was not panicked by the suppression of the power in his body, his eyes were lowered, and he clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Senior Gu Qing, I have seen this fairy, I don't know where Senior Shen is?" A few months ago, Senior Shen ordered the juniors to rush to the Zichen Secret Realm together with Brother Lin Yan and Lin, and now, the juniors have returned, and they have come to restore their lives."

The woman was silent for a moment, and her voice was ethereal.

"My ancestor has left the Yunhan Ancient Star a few months ago, this is the Qingyun Order left by the old man, you can take it, and you can go to the Qingyun Immortal Land outside the territory in the coming day to participate in the entry of the Qingyun Immortal Sect

Assessment."

As the woman's words came out, a blue light broke out from above her body, cut through the empty darkness, and fell towards Gu Qing, Gu Qing looked at it a few times, and saw that this blue light was wrapped in a simple purple and cyan token, so he reached out and caught it.

Syllable!

The blue light dissipated, and the ancient token fell into Gu Qing's palm, Gu Qing realized that this token was extremely heavy, and his body staggered, that is, he was thrown to the ground, and a hand that caught the ancient token was crushed to pieces with a click, and the flesh and blood of the palm that was torn apart were mixed with the bones that were crushed!

Rumble!

The sound that only comes when something extremely heavy hits the ground is sounded after the quaint token hits the hard ground.

Gu Qing fell to the ground.

His face was slightly distorted, beads of sweat the size of beans fell like rain, and the sharp pain of the bones of his palms being brutally crushed swept through his whole body, but it only made his expression a little surprised.

"Qingyun Ling weighs 125,000 catties, and the number of calamities is dark, but I have neglected it." The woman seemed to blink, then withdrew her gaze, retracting the breath that was leaking out.

Gu Qingzhou's spiritual power returned to operation, regaining control of the ancient demon body, he had no scruples to merge the ancient demon body with the main body, the crushed palm quickly recovered, holding this heavy ancient token, stood up again, and looked at the purple-clothed woman wearing a golden feather crown.

The woman's figure condensed by the cyan glow spread out and became invisible, leaving only a few ethereal voices, echoing all around: "Since you are favored by your master, you have been given the Qingyun Order, you should encourage your cultivation, don't slack off, marry the golden pill early, and rush to the Qingyun Immortal Land......

Rush to Qingyun Immortal Land......

Qingyun Immortal Earth......

Immortal ......

The woman's voice echoed in the empty darkness, and for a moment, Gu Qing's eyes flickered, and after the feeling that his body was infinitely elongated, he had returned to the front of several bright mountains.

Throat!

Gu Qing's extremely heavy body because of the ancient token, after stepping on the soil and stones, instantly unbalanced, his feet sank into a pit, and one leg fell into the soil and stones, he moved his mind and put this ancient token into the storage ring - this ancient token is not big, but it is only included in the storage ring, Gu Qing's eyebrows, because the power of the divine soul is too consumed in a short period of time, and he jumped several times in a row.

The ground seemed to shake for a moment, and then it cracked, and Gu Qing pulled his trapped leg out from between the dirt and rocks, and took a few steps back.

He looked at the bright mountains in front of him, glanced up and glanced up, but he didn't see the huge chains again, he took a deep look at the mountains again, especially in the middle of the green mountains, on the flat grass, he saw the blue-shirted middle-aged man's fenced courtyard, paused, and turned away.

After turning around, Gu Qing's eyes lowered, suppressing the vibration in his heart.

Just now.

In that empty darkness, he faintly saw an extremely large dragon-shaped black shadow, locked in mid-air by a huge chain, and this huge dragon-shaped black shadow, above the huge dragon head, two dragon horns, are the two strangely shaped peaks!

That's ...... The big demon locked here?

'Qingyun Immortal Sect...... Qingyun Ling......

While walking, Gu Qing recalled the middle-aged man in blue shirt who was sitting in the small courtyard of the fence that day with a mysterious smile on his face: "This person claims to be the head of this sea area, but in fact, it is the person from the Qingyun Immortal Sect?" Qingyun Immortal Sect, I don't know how it compares to the Dao Sect?

'This woman, not only does she call that person her ancestor, that is, she is also a member of the Qingyun Immortal Sect? I have received the Qingyun Order from that person, will I encounter any danger in the future to seek refuge in this woman?

What kind of monk is this woman?

Just as Gu Qing's thoughts were dying, he had already left the vicinity of several bright peaks on Qingshu Island, and scattered monks could already be seen around him.

The cultivation aura of these monks is generally in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and there are also Gu Qing who don't see it at all

The existence of cultivation, such as the yellow-robed young man with a kind smile on his side.

"Senior Sun."

"Grandchildren......

Just when Gu Qing looked at this yellow-robed young man, two monks who were walking together and cultivating for the sixth level of the foundation walked out quickly from the corner on one side, suddenly realizing the existence of the yellow-robed young man, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, calling himself a senior, with a respectful look on his face.

The yellow-robed young man nodded imperceptibly, and did not react more, but the two six-fold foundation building cultivators walked past Gu Qing's side at an extremely fast speed as if they had been pardoned, and went into the distance.

'Brother Yudan?

Gu Qing's heart was awe-struck, his pace slowed down slightly, and when he walked past the side of this yellow-robed young man, he paused: "Senior Sun."

He also learned the previous two sixfold cultivation of foundation building, and bowed to the yellow-robed young man with a fist, and then was about to leave.

"This little friend, stay for now." The yellow-robed young man spoke softly, his voice was elegant, his tone was flat, but his eyes were burning, and when he saw Gu Qing, he broke out in a cold sweat, "The island owner summoned Yu Xiaoyou, I don't know what happened? Sun is really curious."

Stared at by the yellow-robed youth, Gu Qing seemed to be captured by some terrifying existence, his body was tense, as if he was imprisoned and frozen, his gaze was slightly condensed, and he only felt that the spirit of his body was shaking, and his consciousness seemed to be trapped in a breezy green bamboo, and there was a sound of rustling all around.

"The owner of the island has an order first, and the younger generation cannot reveal it." Gu Qing forcibly fixed his swaying and restless mind, responded to the yellow-robed youth's words, took stiff steps, and walked past the yellow-robed youth.

The yellow-robed young man glanced at Gu Qing's back a few more times with interest, until a sound sounded in his ears, he withdrew his gaze, the smile on his face faded, and his body shook and he left the place.

All the way to the outer area of Qingshu Island.

Gu Qing's tense body relaxed slightly.

This man ......

Gu Qing's brows tightened.

For the yellow-robed young man who is suspected of being a monk in the yellow robe, he is very jealous in his heart, although he doesn't know how many times the young man in the yellow robe has been cultivating as a son, but if he is targeted by him, it is undoubtedly a *** annoyance for him! If you don't handle it well, you can lose your life at every turn.

Gu Qing's expression changed for a while, and he settled down.

In the next two hours, he wandered around the outer area of Qingshu Island as if aimlessly, occasionally stopping one or two monks in the late stage of Qi refining to inquire about the situation on Changming Island.

The late-stage Qi refining cultivators who were stopped by him were often very impatient at first, but after perceiving the current situation of the foundation building monks, they became respectful, and they looked like they knew everything and said everything.

From the mouths of these late-stage Qi refining cultivators, Gu Qing generally understood the current situation on Changming Island - just as he had speculated at the beginning, Changming Island had indeed been attacked by evil cultivators and suffered heavy losses.

But what he didn't expect was ......

This attack of evil cultivators is all in the calculation of Xu Wang's real people!

'Xu Wangzhen actually has the strength to kill the Jiedan monks! It invited the Yuelou auction to induce a year-old enemy to make a layout, and he would plan to turn things around at the last moment, and use the formation arranged on Changming Island to kill a statue of the two turns!

'Xu Wang's real person, although he has the name of a real person, is still a monk in the realm of False Dan, and he is still within the scope of the foundation building period, and he can actually kill a foundation building double monk! This is really a bit amazing! In addition, I don't know if the monks who participated in the auction held by the Yuelou were in distress......

"Go ahead." Gu Qing nodded slightly, took out two medium-grade spirit stones, and handed them to the fat monk with a bloated figure in front of him.

This fat monk's cultivation is at the eleventh layer of Qi refining, and he is the person who has provided the most information about Changming Island and has the most abundant information among the dozen or so monks that Gu Qing has asked in the past two hours—this person is the monk who came from Changming Island after the change on Changming Island two months ago.

"Thank you for your kindness." The fat monk was overjoyed, and took two medium-grade spirit stones, with a pair of small eyes on his big cake face

Flashes of light.

Gu Qing just wanted to turn around and leave, but his eyes flashed, and he glanced at the fat monk a few times, until the fat monk was at a loss and panicked, and then he asked, "Little friend, do you know which shop on this Qingshu Island is the most suitable for renting out a cave for retreat?"

The fat monk was stunned when he heard this.

Immediately after that, his mind changed sharply, and he responded: "Since the seniors want to retreat, it is best to rent a cave house that is clean enough, undisturbed, and full of spiritual energy, and at the same time take into account these two points, and the price is relatively low, the seniors can go to the 'Hezhen Chamber of Commerce to find it.'"

'Hezhen Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in this sea area of Qingshu Island, and the cave house leased on Qingshu Island is divided into four grades, with one product being the highest and four grades being the lowest.

Later, the younger generation also rented other cave mansions, but they still felt that this cave mansion of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce was the most suitable for retreat...... In addition, if the predecessors want to do alchemy, the rented cave mansions of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce with three grades and above are equipped with Dan furnaces and spiritual fires. As he spoke, the fat monk lowered his head and carefully used the corner of his eye to observe the changes in Gu Qing's expression at all times.

It's a pity that Gu Qing was always expressionless.

"Oh? Then let's go to the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce." Gu Qing turned around and said to the fat monk by the way, "This little friend, can you lead the way?"

"It's an honor for the younger generation."

The Fat Friar responded.

How dare he refuse?

He didn't want to say no at all! Being able to do things for a generous foundation building predecessor is something he can't ask for! So, he immediately complied, and led the way in front of him like a dog's leg.

Hezhen Chamber of Commerce is located in the middle of Qingshu Island.

Leaving the outer area of Qingshu Island, walking through the middle area for a while, and then turning into a long alleyway full of cluttered spiritual plants, you can see a huge integrated mansion hanging seven or eight feet in the air.

At the top of the two iron-gray gates of the mansion, there is a vertical plaque engraved with the word 'Hezhen', two young monks in the late stage of qi refining, standing on both sides of the gate of the Chamber of Commerce.

When Gu Qing arrived with the fat monk, it happened that among the two open iron-gray gates, two pre-foundation monks walked out.

"Two, although the location of this cave is the outermost part of Qingshu Island, it is at the intersection of the two formations on the island, not to mention the spiritual energy, and you don't have to worry about being broken into by other monks from the outside, it is really a boutique cave mansion! The two of you will think about how to ......" Chasing these two pre-foundation building monks, an old man who looked like a monk in the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining, he said with a foaming mouth.

"No need, who doesn't know that this kind of cave on the outermost part of the island may be abandoned at any time due to the displacement of the formation? If you want to deceive me, you have to find a better excuse!" The two monks in the early stage of foundation building seemed to be a pair of Taoist couples, and the male cultivator responded coldly.

When the old man-like monk heard this, he immediately cried with a sad face, but as soon as he raised his eyes and saw Gu Qing and the fat monk, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Isn't this the kid of the Han family? I don't know if the predecessor is ......" The old man looked like a monk, and immediately left this pair of Taoist couples in the early stage of foundation building, came to Gu Qing and the fat monk, and spoke enthusiastically.

"Lin Shibo."

After the fat monk saw the monk who looked like an old man, his face turned a little dark, he gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "This senior wants to rent a cave mansion for retreat."

"Oh? Retreat?! Senior, please come in!" The old man's eyes lit up, and he nodded and approached Gu Qing to the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce.

The interior of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce is a series of closed stone chambers.

On the outside of these stone chambers, a large number of spiritual ravines are vertical and horizontal, outlining a faint light curtain, enveloping the stone chambers one after another.

Gu Qing's eyes swept a few glances at these stone chambers in amazement, from the outside, the internal space of these stone chambers should be quite cramped, I really don't know what kind of use it is, he and the fat monk beside him, just followed the old man-like monk through the closed stone room, leaving a long corridor, turning around

After walking for a while, I came to a hall.

The old-looking monk, after coming to this hall, walked a few steps quickly, and from the recess of the stone wall on one side, he took out a chessboard-like object with flashing spiritual light, and handed it to Gu Qing.

"Senior, please look at ......" The old monk pointed to the bright spots on the chessboard, "This is the island of Qingshu Island, the caves of my Hezhen Chamber of Commerce are all over Qingshu Island, there are as many as five hundred and sixty-two, and now there are one hundred and thirty-three left."

"Among the remaining 133 cave mansions, the four-rank cave mansion with the thinnest aura has the largest number of ninety, followed by the three-rank cave mansion with slightly stronger aura with twenty, the second-rank cave mansion with the aura turning into fog, and the first-rank cave mansion with the spiritual qi turning into liquid with five ......

"Reiki mist?" Gu Qing's eyebrows raised, "I went to the core of Qingshu Island first, where the spiritual energy near the several bright and dazzling mountains was so rich that it had never turned into spiritual mist, but why?"

"This ...... The seniors are really asking the right person! There are not many monks on the island who know the answer to this question, and the little old man has been on the island for more than a hundred years, and although his cultivation is low, he is one of the monks who knows the answer to this question!" The old-looking monk stroked his beard.

"Six hundred years ago, there was a turbid dragon descending from the sky, the stars fell, and the four seas were in chaos, and the Shangzong sent a master to descend to suppress the turbid dragon and seal it on Qingshu Island...... It is also because of this that the cloudy dragon's eyes are bright, and the strange magic power of closing the sky is there, and Qingshu Island has been shrouded in darkness since 600 years ago! It is also the power of the Yin Dragon, which causes the aura on the island to lose its change."

"If there is no formation to cover it, no matter how rich the aura is, under the influence of this turbid dragon, it will not turn into fog."

The old monk said with a smile.

"The Turbid Dragon? Open your eyes to the sky, close your eyes to the dark?" Gu Qing looked at the deep darkness outside the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce, and was a little puzzled by the fact that the previous book of Hanhai Three Hundred Years of Scenery did not record the matter of this turbid dragon, but he soon understood that it was nothing more than the low-cost Hanhai Three Hundred Years of Scenery, although it was quite a big tone, but in essence it was just a hearsay and patchwork book.

"Erpin Cave Mansion, how many spirit stones do you need to rent for ten years?"

Gu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the old monk.

The old monk was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "If you rent a house in the Erpin Cave Mansion for one year, you generally need about two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and if you rent it for ten years, then eight or nine thousand medium-grade spirit stones will be enough......

Gu Qing bowed his head slightly, looking at the bright positions on the island plate, the luster of these bright positions had subtle differences, yes, combined with what the old monk said before, it was not difficult to distinguish which caves were second-grade, and soon, his gaze was certain, looking at a place close to the periphery of the island.

The cave mansion here is far away from the other caves on the island, and the place where it is, if Gu Qing's analysis is good, it is not far from the location of the light when he came to Qingshu Island, the environment there is elegant, and most importantly, it is not shrouded in darkness on the island!

"How do you make a price for this cave?" Gu Qing's eyes flashed, he pointed to this cave mansion, and turned his head to look at the old monk.

The old monk's expression was secretly happy.

"Seniors have a good eye!"

"Due to its special location, this cave mansion is at the intersection of the two spirit gathering arrays arranged on the island, and the level of spiritual energy in it is even better than that of other cave mansions! In addition, the place where this cave is located is secluded, and it is not easy for people to enter and disturb it, so it is really the best choice for the seniors to retreat!"

"If the predecessors had rented this cave for ten years...... I'll deliver six thousand medium-grade spirit stones!" The old monk said, his expression was pretending to be entangled, and after a long time, he said a price.

Gu Qing was noncommittal and handed the island back.

He turned around, "Take so-and-so first."
