Chapter 328: A Trip to Qianchuan County (1)

The Earth Fire Mountain Range is divided into four areas: eastern, southern, northern, and central.

On the west side of the mountain range, there is a sea of untouched forests.

This continuous forest sea, covering an area of not small, is enough to have a radius of two or three thousand miles, its vitality is flourishing, all kinds of towering ancient trees rise from the ground, covering the sky and the sun, the vegetation is dense, the streams meander among them, and the large wetlands are steaming with miasma, so that the forest is always shrouded in a layer of mist.

In this forest sea, there are no high-level demon beasts, but there are a lot of low-level demon beasts, so it has become a place for many qi refining cultivators who live in this land fire mountain range.

Passing through this forest sea on the west side of the Earth Fire Mountain Range is a small lake.

This lake seems to be surrounded by the sea of forests, if there are monks looking down in mid-air, you can see the water of the lake, clear blue, if it is sunny, it is really the same color as the blue sky, beautiful.

In the south, north, and center of the Earth Fire Mountain Range, in most of the Earth Fire Caves distributed in these three areas, the quality of Earth Fire is quite acceptable, so although the number of monks is different, it is generally prosperous, whether it is an alchemist or a person seeking Dan, there is an endless stream of monks.

As for the eastern side of this Earth Fire Mountain Range, it was much more deserted.

In the Earth Fire Cave in the east side area, the quality of the Earth Fire is generally extremely low, which greatly increases the risk of the furnace during the alchemy period, because except for Gu Qing, there are almost no other monks in the east side of the Earth Fire Mountain Range with a radius of two or three thousand miles.

Although the quality of the earth fire in the earth fire cave in the east area is generally inferior, the heaven and earth aura in this area, for some reason, is the most in this land fire mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.

The aura of heaven and earth is formless and substantial, unless it gathers to a certain point and initially forms a thin spiritual mist, otherwise, it will not be visible to the naked eye at all.

In the mid-air of the eastern area, bursts of heaven and earth aura converged extremely quickly towards a certain earth fire cave below.

These heaven and earth aura are clustered around this earth fire cave, but they can only slowly penetrate into the earth fire cave through the formations arranged here and the gaps between the mountains and rocks.

Inside the Earth Fire Cave.

Gu Qing, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged in front of the deepest stone wall of the cave, on top of a stone pier that was a cut above the ground.

The two white qi dragons were constantly twisting and changing at the end of Gu Qing's nose.

His body seemed to be covered with a hazy white veil.

In addition, there was no longer any vision around his body that had been manifested when he had been immersed in cultivation before.

The wisps of spiritual mist that drilled into the cave continued to sink into Gu Qing's body, and were refined into pure mana by him.

"Hoo ......"

Gu Qing exhaled a breath of white air, and the two qi dragons that changed the wings of his nose dispersed, and the hazy white veil around his body shattered.

His eyes slowly opened, and his black and white eyes did not make the slightest wave, and there was no leakage of half of the essence.

"The spiritual power in the body has been fully recovered, and half of the essence blood that was lost before has also been restored......" Gu Qing looked at his body, lowered his head slightly, and glanced at his slightly shriveled body at the moment.

Restoring essence and blood is not such a simple matter.

The essence of blood is the essence of qi and blood, and it is only natural that when he recovers, his body becomes thinner.

Gu Qing put the dimmed half-grade spirit stone in his hand and put it into the storage ring.

Immediately, he stood up with his hands in his hands, and after his eyes wandered around the inside of the earth fire cave a few times, he landed on the lotus platform where the earth fire came out of the first stone wall at the end of the cave.

His mind moved, and his divine sense poked out, swept the inside of the cave, and probed out towards the stone walls on all sides, but after half a foot into the stone wall, he was blocked by a special force.

Gu Qing retracted his sense, came to the entrance of this cave, and turned over his hand and took out a black stone talisman.

"Here, why don't you make a formation token...... Gu Qing played with this stone talisman for a while, held it in his hand, passed through the formation that sealed the fire hole of the earth, and came to the outside world.

It took Gu Qing six days to recover his mana this time.

It was raining outside, and the cascading dark clouds covered the sky, and the rain curtain covered the entire Earth Fire Mountain Range.

Gu Qing walked on the slightly muddy dirt road, and did not hide it, letting the magic robe on his body get wet, looking at the surrounding scenery as if he were looking at the flowers, and walked towards the central area of the Earth Fire Mountain Range.

'Sendankaku, located in the middle of this mountain range...... Is there a place for alchemists to gather and communicate with each other...... Its existence is also reasonable, after all, that Chiling Fang does not have the real function of Xiuzhenfang City at all...... "Gu Qing walked faster and faster, his body was like the wind, walking through the rain curtain.

Before, in the stone tablet space, Gu Qing had already counted the benefits obtained by the disciples of the Fu Sect who had missed that day.

What made Gu Qing a little disappointed.

From the corpses of those demon monsters and demon generals, as well as the corpses of the human race's qi refining and foundation building monks, he didn't get anything worth paying attention to.

Perhaps, his expectations were too high.

After all, in the previous trip to the Zichen Secret Realm, the legacy of more than a dozen monks he got was so rich.

Comparing the two, it is inevitable to be disappointed.

But Gu Qing also knew that according to Zichen's secret realm and his party, what he got was the legacy of more than a dozen valuable Heavenly Pride Sons, and the leaks he picked up from the disciples of the Fu Sect that day were just the remnants of some ordinary Qi refining cultivators, foundation building cultivators, and the poor clan's clanging demon generals and monsters.

There is a huge gap, and it is also right.

'Sorting out the leaks of the disciples of the Fu Sect that day, the harvest obtained, a total of 22 spiritual weapons, 52 magic weapons, 31 magic weapons, no magic weapons...... There are a number of pills and talismans of the first and second grades, as well as some miscellaneous things such as jade slips, communication talismans, and ancient books. "

In addition, before, including the demon generals who were coerced by his great monk and killed, since the demon tide, those demon generals who have been killed, have gained some gains...... In addition, it is the hard bodies of these demon generals and monsters...... The demons, demons, and demons of the demon clan are not much different from demon beasts, and they all have a certain selling value compared to skin and membrane minions, muscles, bones, flesh and blood......"

Although the value of these things should not be too high, the quantity is really not small, if you want to sell, you still have to find a larger market......

Gu Qing thought about it, his body was like the wind, and he had already crossed the eastern area of the Earth Fire Mountain Range and came to the central area.

Life gradually intensified in my ears, and I occasionally saw monks holding umbrellas and setting up stalls on the roadside.

Most of the cultivators' cultivation was in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, and the monks in the late stage of Qi refining were all young, as for the things sold, they were also some pills, and medicinal materials for refining low-grade pills, Gu Qing quietly slowed down, and looked all the way over, and he didn't see any monks selling Dan furnaces.

Gu Qing is more and more comfortable controlling the power of the current realm.

At this time, he had been able to collect all the mana around his body into the meridians, although he did not block the pores around his body, it was difficult for him to leak out in the slightest, making his body look like a mortal who had not cultivated in his body.

The monks of this Earth Fire Mountain Range, if you look at it from a distance, there are really a lot, and one by one the light comes like rain, and like a flock of birds soaring away.

But when you are here, you know the vastness of this place, which is not enough for the monks.

Gu Qing walked all the way, walked dozens of miles, and after passing a few people by mistake, he met a group of monks walking together.

「…… Have you heard, there is a second-order demon beast over there in Biling, and it has quietly transformed into a third-order demon beast!"

"Oh? Brother District, is this serious? Biling's heaven and earth aura is so thin, it's not as good as ours, how can a third-order demon beast be born?"

"Seriously! I have a cousin who worked as a boy under Chu Danshi, and I heard him say that Chu Danshi mentioned this matter before...... He also said that Xiao He Danshi found a few scattered cultivation foundation seniors who hunted and killed the second-order demon beasts that had accumulated years, and they suffered heavy losses on this trip......

"Little He Danshi? Little He Danshi...... Is it the second-grade Dan master who successfully refined the second-grade mid-level pill last year, and is only thirty years old? What did he do when he was looking for someone to hunt down that second-order demon beast that had accumulated years...... Rumored that he

Didn't you join one of the three sects, four sects and twelve families, and if you want to hunt second-order demon beasts, wouldn't it be more convenient to find people directly from those big forces? Why do you need to seek out ...... meditation?"

"You don't know this, those foundation-building predecessors of the big forces are powerful, but the asking price is also high......

There were fifteen or sixteen monks in this group, and their cultivation was concentrated in the middle stage of qi refining, and they were talking to each other as if no one was around.

Gu Qing also listened secretly.

'Three sects, four sects, and twelve families......" Gu Qing thought thoughtfully.

At this moment, this group of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining collectively lost their voices like ducks stuck in their necks.

The silence only lasted for a moment, and this group of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining saluted a young man in the distance.

"Master Ho Dan ......"

"He Danshi, I haven't seen you for many days, but my demeanor is still ......"

The young man's face darkened and he glanced at this group of mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, squinted his eyes, paused in his steps, and snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

"It seems that you are so unlearned, unskilled, unmotivated, and only know what people are talking about behind your back, so it's better to go to the secular world earlier and be a rich man, and you will pollute the atmosphere of the cultivation realm!"

The young man's tone was extremely vicious, with undisguised contempt for the monks.

This group of monks, but no one refutated, and even a few of them nodded to the young man with sycophantic smiles on their faces.

The young man no longer paid attention to this group of monks, continued to move forward, and walked straight to the side of this group of monks, but he didn't go far, Huo Ran turned his head, and his surprised eyes were on the black-robed young man who was not far from this group of monks, and his expression was a little more suspicious.

This man bears such a resemblance to one of the many portraits that Master has sketched...... Isn't it ......."

The young man's name is He Xu, he is a second-grade alchemist, and he is also well-known in this land and fire mountain range.

However.

Just a few years ago, He Xu was just a low-level cultivator who had to work hard to refine a first-order mid-grade pill, and could only refine a first-order lower-grade pill.

It wasn't until he met his master by chance that he had to be instructed and changed his methods, and then he made great progress in alchemy, and in just a few years, he became a rare alchemist in this land and fire mountain range who could refine second-grade mid-grade pills.

"Why, this fellow Daoist, doesn't he know so-and-so?" Gu Qing was still walking slowly, and asked.

He Xu's expression moved slightly.

His qualifications are really not good, he is only in the middle and lower, but under the accumulation of pills, he has pushed his body's cultivation to the twelfth layer of qi refining, and he is only one step away from the Great Perfection of Qi refining, but at this time, he can't even cultivate his breath from this black-robed young man!

This can only mean that either this black-robed monk is a mortal.

Either...... His cultivation was far beyond his imagination!

Of course, it is also possible that this black-robed monk has cultivated some special method of constricting aura.

But no matter what, his cultivation must be above himself! At least, a monk in the early and middle stages of foundation building!

For this kind of monk, whether he is a person on the master's picture scroll or not, He Xu does not dare to slack off, although he can refine second-grade mid-grade pills, and can have a relationship with some monks in the early stage of foundation building who came to seek pills, but this does not mean that he is really equal to the status of foundation building monks.

"I'm just looking at the seniors who are a little familiar, and I ask the seniors not to blame them." He Xu took two steps to Gu Qing's side, clenched his fists and said respectfully, "In Xia He Xu, he is an alchemist who lives here."

"It turned out to be He Xu, He Daoyou." Gu Qing nodded, also clasped his fists back, and said with a smile, "Aoki, wander to this place."

"Don't dare to say the name of 'Taoist friend' to the seniors, just call the seniors in the next Xiaohe." He Xu said with a wry smile.

"Then it's called Xiao He Dao's friendliness...... Xiao He Daoyou, since he said that Mu Mou is familiar, I don't know where he has seen someone who looks similar to Mu?" Gu Qing kept talking and asking.

He Xu followed behind.

The group of mid-stage Qi refining cultivators who had not gone far saw this Ping

Xiao He Danshi, who was dragged up to the sky by Surrey, was respectful to this guy who was like a mortal and did not have the slightest aura of cultivation, looked at each other, and exchanged voices, guessing what kind of cultivation Gu Qing was.

"Back to the words of the seniors...... a trace of hesitation flashed on He Xu's face, looking at Gu Qing's back strolling in the rain.

"I've seen a painting that looks very similar to that of Mu's predecessor at another senior." He Xu's response is three points true and seven points false.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly.

"I see! This is a bit of a coincidence...... his tone was flat, as if he didn't care much about this matter, but instead changed his words, "Listening to the discussions of those Qi refining cultivators in the past, this little He Daoist seems to have encountered some trouble recently."

He Xu nodded honestly.

"Yes, I'm in some trouble." As he spoke, he was silent for a moment, and considered it for a moment.

'This senior seems to be interested in helping me......"

I just don't know, are he friend or foe with Master? "

"Master is preparing for a breakthrough in the later stage of foundation building, whether this person is friend or foe with Master, or don't expose my relationship with Master for a wonderful ......" He Xu's mind turned.

After being silent for a while, He Xu spoke: "Before, the younger generation went out to collect medicinal materials, and on the west side of the Earth Fire Mountain Range, in an ancient wood forest in Biling, I met a litter of cubs of four-winged golden-eyed beasts, these four-winged golden-eyed beasts, as long as they are adults, they can have the combat power of foundation building two to foundation building six, and the eyes of their cubs are a third-order spiritual material, which has a miraculous effect on refining some pills, which has a miraculous effect on increasing the success rate."

"The junior wanted to take the opportunity to directly take away the cubs of the four-winged golden-eyed beast, but a female beast that had condensed the demon pill and was comparable to the combat power of the monks in the early stage of our human race's foundation was killed...... The juniors escaped in embarrassment, but they were still greedy, so they invited many foundation building seniors in the scattered cultivation to inform them of the news of the four-winged golden-eyed beast.

"How could you think of ......?"

Speaking of this, He Xu stopped talking.

"In this way, those few little cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining are spreading falsehoods?" Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.

"That's true, and that's the reason for the anger in the hearts of juniors." He Xu nodded and said quite boldly.

"Right now, those few foundation building seniors and disciples who are in the scattered cultivation often block in front of the juniors' doors to ask for explanations...... As for those seniors, they don't have much to say." Ho Hui Road.

The central area of this Fire Mountain Range is not very large.

Compared to the other three areas that are too vast, this central area can even be described as 'small'.

While Gu Qing and He Xu were talking, several buildings had already appeared in front of them, and there were more and more monks coming and going around.

These buildings are all built on the earth fire hole, among which a five-story building is the highest, with bursts of spiritual food and spiritual wine, and a special taste similar to Danxiang, wafting out from this five-story building, it seems that this building should be the Qiandan Pavilion.

"The seniors came to Qiandan Pavilion here, I don't know why? The juniors have also been here for a few years, so I think they will be able to save some trouble for the juniors." He Xu swept the Qiandan Pavilion in front of him, and looked at the different eyes gathered around him and looked at him, as if he didn't realize it.

There were many different eyes in this way, and many of them fell on Gu Qing's body.

Gu Qing looked back and took a deep look at this He Ruin.

He Xu said, "Qing Mou here, there are some things to sell, and a Dan furnace has to be added to practice his hands, if you can get a few Dan Fang, some alchemists' handwritings will be even better."

Gu Qing's voice made He Xu's expression freeze slightly.

「…… Seniors, with all due respect to the juniors, the Dan furnace is easy to buy, if you want to sell something, it is a medicinal herb or a pill, and there is no problem, but if it is some magic weapons, spiritual weapons and the like, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a move, in addition, the notes of the Dan Fang and the alchemist, this ......" He Xu said, and his heart was already secretly slandered.

He's meeting him

The main reason why he stayed in the realm of a first-grade alchemist for so many years was actually because he couldn't get the notes and prescriptions of other alchemists at all...... This kind of thing, only by joining those big forces, or small forces composed of alchemists, can it be truly inherited.

If you don't join the big forces that can cultivate alchemists independently, and the small forces that are mainly composed of alchemists, and explore the way of alchemy on your own, the only hope is that one day you can find a reliable alchemist master and get his mantle inheritance from the master.

As for the market, relying on picking up leaks and piecing together some things, groping for alchemy on your own, consuming countless efforts, and refining a low-grade pill, it can be regarded as a big luck!

"This kind of thing is something that can be encountered and cannot be sought, and the predecessors should not have too much expectation...... If the seniors are really interested in alchemy, the juniors are brave and suggest that the seniors find a force that can cultivate alchemists." He Xu said sincerely.

"That's right." Gu Qing was not surprised.

It seems that the alchemists of the Great Separation Cultivation Realm are more strict in this regard than the alchemists outside the Great Departure...... Among the four major cultivation skills of the Dan Fu Array, alchemy is the most difficult to learn. He walked towards the Thousand Dan Pavilion in front of him.

The interior of Qiandan Pavilion is not much different from what Gu Qing has seen before, and there are restaurants in various Xiuzhenfang cities.

It's just that inside this Qiandan Pavilion, on the tables, in addition to the spiritual food, there are also some pills placed in pots and bowls.

These pills were similar to the Bigu Pill, and in front of each basin where the pills were placed, there were many Qi refining cultivators lined up.

The subtle sound of discussion was not leaked in Gu Qing's ears.

Not far from the left, several acquaintances of the pre-Qi refining cultivators gathered together to talk to each other.

"It's still the essence pill here, it's more comfortable to take."

"Yes!"

"The essence pills in other places are no different from the Bigu Pill at all, only the Essence Qi Pill here has the effect of the Bigu Pill, in addition to taking one pill for three months without eating, it can also enhance cultivation...... Although it is a little expensive, it is really wonderful to be able to save a batch of spirit stones to purchase the elixir for intensive cultivation......

"Who said it wasn't! Alas, my little four recently gave birth to a doll again, and he also has a spiritual root qualification, although it is only inferior, but he should save some spirit stones for him, and he can't be a mortal for a lifetime, isn't it......

"Huh? Lao Xu, your little four have given birth to a few in a row......

In the corner on the right, a mother and daughter are also whispering.

"Little ancestor, that man is not good, he is also the son of a declining family, maybe there is something good hidden in it, you can use the exercises you taught before...... When he's dead...... Let's ......."

"Mother, that old thing is rancid, do you think it's okay, try it yourself, don't pull me anymore......

Two similar-looking men in front of the side......

A pair of grandchildren who walked into the Qiandan Pavilion at the back of the side......

Gu Qing's five senses seemed to turn into mist, and all the monks on the first floor of this Thousand Dan Pavilion were around.

The various kinds of cultivation at the bottom of the realm jumped in front of Gu Qing's eyes, forming a vivid picture.

A long-lost sense of relaxation made Gu Qing's heart empty.

Recently, he has indeed become a little impatient.

What is there to rush about breaking through the knot?

Slowly accumulating and coming naturally is the right way.

If you are in a hurry, the probability of problems will also increase greatly.

"Since you have the heart to study the art of alchemy, you might as well really come here......" Gu Qing's mind suddenly became lively, and even the golden mana around him became more vigorous.

He smiled and walked towards the second floor of the Thousand Dan Pavilion.
