Chapter 374: Soul Mountain
In the hinterland of Yangzhou, near Zhongzhou, there is a small mountain range called Qiling Mountain.
Qiling Mountain is not large, the size of a radius of hundreds of miles, and the density of spiritual energy is low, but it is rich in all kinds of low-level spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits, and there are many varieties. Every year in the golden autumn season, all kinds of low-level spirit flowers and spirit fruits on Qiling Mountain compete to open, attracting all kinds of beasts or low-level demon beasts to gather, and also attracting many low-level immortal cultivators to come for demon hunting or picking spirit fruits. At this time, Qiling Mountain is always beautiful and lively, forming a unique scene on Qiling Mountain.
This year, it is the golden autumn season again, and the Qiling Mountain is more beautiful and lively than ever. However, at this time, no beasts and monsters dared to come to Qiling Mountain, and most of the monks who came here were foundation building monks, or even consummate monks in the late stage of foundation building. The reason for this is that Qiling Mountain is one of the entrances to the Yudan Road.
Every time the road to the knot is opened, there will be a circular spiritual gate in dozens of fixed places away from the business world, so monks who are cultivating below the knot pill period can enter the road of knot pill through this gate and seek the knot pill. Every time the entrance to the Yutan Road appears, it will appear in the same place for hundreds of times in the future. A hundred years later, the entrance to the Yudan Road will appear in different places, and so on a hundred times.
In the past, most of the entrances to the Yutan Road belonged to the public ownership of the Kyushu mainland, and anyone could enter it. However, there are exceptions, there are seven or eight entrances to the path of the kedan are inside certain sects, in this case, monks who want to participate in the path of the knot have to pay a certain fee. But the so-called fee is usually just a meaning.
But this time, the situation was different, and a Qiling Sect suddenly appeared on the Qiling Mountain, which had always been public. That's not all, the Qiling Sect sealed the Qiling Mountain, and any monk who wants to figure out the Guò Qiling Mountain and enter the path of the Yudan must hand over the laughing spirit stones.
"This is too unfair, the entrance to the Jiedan Road on Qiling Mountain has always been public, and I have never heard of a fee, why do you charge a fee this time?" said a large group of Zhuji monks who were stopped at the foot of Qiling Mountain.
"Yes, it's understandable to charge some symbolic fees, but you all have to charge 500,000 spirit stones, which is too dark. You know, there is more than one free Yudan Road product that is common in the Kyushu Continent, so aren't you afraid that we will go elsewhere if you charge such an expensive fee?"
In the face of the complaints of many foundation-building monks, the gatekeeper of the foundation building period of the Qiling Sect at the foot of the Qiling Mountain did not enter, and said with an indifferent face: "This Qiling Mountain is the territory of our Qiling Sect, and the entrance to the road to the Qidan here is naturally also my Qiling Sect. If you want to enter the road to Yutan through Guò, you should pay some fees. Anyway, it's 500,000 spirit stones for one person, you can't get in, it's too expensive, go elsewhere, we won't stop you. ”
"The path to the knot is less than two months away, and the other entrances closest to here, at the speed of the foundation building monks, will fly for at least three months, and it will be too late at all. Your Qiling Sect was not established sooner or later, but it was suddenly established in the past few days, and it still occupies Qiling Mountain, isn't it because you want to rob it!" As soon as these words came out, those monks who were shy and had originally figured out other entrances to enter the path of the Jiedan immediately dispelled this idea.
"That's right, what's so great about your Habitat Spirit Sect, so many of us here want to enter the path of the Soul Sect, you dare to stop us, be careful to step on your Habitat Spirit Sect. "Regarding the move of the Qiling Sect, some short-tempered people directly wanted to use force.
Just when a group of foundation building monks were making noise, four powerful breaths fell from the sky, suddenly enveloping all the thousands of foundation building monks gathered at the gate of the Qiling Sect from four directions. Brother Jiedan came, and there was not just one, but four.
For a while, all the foundation building monks in the field were so plopped that they fell to their knees under the pressure of this breath, sweating like rain one by one, only a few of them were still standing in place, but they were not easy.
"Who said that you want to level my Habitat Spirit Sect?"
As soon as the four Jiedan monks appeared, one of them, a burly Jiedan monk dressed in black, asked with a sneer.
Hearing this, the Zhuji monks who were noisy here before were so frightened that no one dared to speak, and the Zhuji monk who had directly said that he wanted to set foot on the Pingqi Spirit Sect was even more trembling with his legs.
"Is that you?" Seeing that no one answered, Monk Yudan sneered and pointed to Monk Tsukiki, whose legs were trembling.
The younger generation has no such intention, and asks the seniors to calm their anger. The younger generation is the Luojia family in Yangzhou" When the accused foundation building monk saw this scene, his body that was originally half-kneeling suddenly weakened, and his legs knelt on the ground, kowtowing like garlic and begging for mercy.
"Die!"
In the face of begging for mercy, the monk did not show mercy at all, and without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he directly slapped it over, rolling up a huge wind, and slapped the foundation monk who was kneeling on the ground into the air, and fell to the ground dozens of meters away, and his breath was gone.
"This is the place where my Habitat Spirit Sect was established, and anyone who wants to figure out the path of entering the Jiedan here will have to pay 500,000 lower grade spirit stones, which of you still have any objections?" After slapping a foundation building monk to death, the burly Jiedan monk's breath suddenly rose again, from the middle stage of the foundation building to the late stage of the Jiedan, and he looked at all the foundation building monks in the field coldly and asked.
At this moment, if anyone dares to express dissent, it is undoubtedly looking for death.
Seeing that the foundation building monks in the field were all frightened and did not dare to speak, the four Jiedan monks turned slightly pale, and their breath was retracted, which made all the foundation building monks on the scene feel relieved.
Just when all the foundation building monks felt relieved physically and mentally, another kind-faced Jiedan monk spoke: "This time is different from the past, the current Kyushu Continent, but wherever the entrance to the Yudan Road appears, is no longer public, and the fees are also collected. My Qi Ling Sect charges 500,000 spirit stones for each of you, this is the market price, you can check the situation in other places when the time comes, and you will naturally know. Moreover, my Qiling Sect has just opened, in order to get acquainted with you and let you go on better in the road of Yudan, I have specially collected all kinds of information about the road of Yudan, and sent it to all Taoist friends who have entered the road of Yudan here for free. ”
The attitude of the Habitat Spirit Sect changed greatly, and some shrewd people immediately understood it in their hearts. The Qiling Sect gave grace to these foundation-building monks who were preparing to participate in the path of the Yudan, just to earn spirit stones and not to offend people.
In the final analysis, although these foundation building monks who participated in the path of the kedan died nine times, who dared to guarantee that they would not come back to life from the path of the knot and follow the knot. If the Habitat Spirit Sect offends all these foundation building cultivators, it will undoubtedly set up a large number of enemies for the Habitat Spirit Sect in the future. It's just that in the process of the Qiling Sect's power, the foundation building monk who was shot to death before died died too unjustly.
Sure enough, hearing what the Habitat Spirit Sect said, most of the foundation building monks were also psychologically balanced, and their dissatisfaction with the Habitat Spirit Sect also weakened a lot. When they heard that the Qiling Sect had prepared all kinds of difficult-to-collect materials for all the foundation building monks who participated in the Yudan Path, many people even had a great impression of the Qiling Sect.
The path to the knot is very mysterious, and the foundation building monks who participate in the road are not only the foundation building monks who have left the business world, but also the foundation building monks in the hundreds of parallel interfaces around them, and the total number of foundation building monks participating in the road of the foundation is not only the foundation building monks who have left the business world, but also the foundation building monks in the surrounding hundreds of parallel interfaces, and the total number of foundation building monks participating in the road of the foundation building is not only the foundation building monks who have left the business world, but also the foundation building monks in the hundreds of parallel interfaces around them. Therefore, every monk who participates in the path of Yudan will meet a lot of outsiders during this period.
In addition to the dangers of the path of the knot itself, in the path of the knotan, the biggest danger comes from the foundation building monks of other interfaces. The foundation building monks in other interfaces have a lot of strange ** treasures and the like, which makes people have to guard against it. The Habitat Spirit Sect was so generous in sending out the other information it had collected for free, which was a great favor.
"Junior Yangzhou Huoyuan Sect Yang Yong, thank you seniors for providing information about the road to the Dan, the cost of this 500,000 lower grade spirit stone is willing to be paid by the juniors. At this time, a monk walked out of the crowd, and after respectfully saluting the four major Jiedan monks one by one, he handed over 500,000 lower grade spirit stones to the gatekeeper of the foundation building period of the Qiling Sect, received a special identity token and a Lingzhu slip with information on the path of the Jiedan, and then went up to Qiling Mountain.
After someone took the lead in handing over the spirit stone, even if the others were unwilling, they had to honestly line up to hand over the spirit stone.
Soon, the four major Jiedan monks of the Qiling Sect saw that no one was making trouble, and they also left, but no one of the foundation building monks on the scene dared to make trouble anymore, and they all honestly handed over the spirit stones. The gatekeepers of the Qiling Sect seemed to have been instructed to have a much better attitude towards the monks who came to participate in the path of the Yudan.
As one by one the foundation-building monks entered the Qiling Sect, the Qiling Sect received the spirit stones softly.
At this time, a monk dressed in black and wearing a purple and gold mask also came to register. It's just that this person's breath is obviously towards the great consummation in the later stage of foundation building, but it gives people an unfathomable feeling.
"This senior, only the foundation building monks can enter the path of the Dan Formation, and it will be dangerous for monks from other realms to enter it. The gatekeeper of the Qiling Sect thought that it was a senior master who had come to participate in the path of the elixir, and hurriedly reminded him very politely.
Hearing the gatekeeper's words, the surrounding Zhuji monks felt a stirring in their hearts, and they all looked at it cautiously.
"This person is really a Jiedan monk, just now when the predecessors of the Qiling Sect came to the Dan period, we were all pressed to the ground, but this person stood in place without anything, it is strange if it is not a Jiedan monk. The surrounding foundation monks speculated.
"In Xia Yang, the foundation of the late stage of the Great Perfection realm, scattered cultivation, this is the spirit stone under the Xia, please make it convenient for Taoist friends to help with an identity token. The monk, who was considered to be a senior, said lightly.
It turned out that it was not a Jiedan monk, but a very powerful foundation building monk. The gatekeeper of the Qiling Sect was relieved, but he still bowed to this person very politely, and after accepting his spirit stone, he gave him an identity token and a spirit bamboo slip.
The more powerful the foundation building monk is, the more likely he is to pass the path of Guò Yudan and become a Jiedan monk, and the Qiling Sect naturally does not dare to offend lightly.
This monk who claimed to be Yang Guo was naturally Ren Yao.
Not only Ren Xiaoyao, but in Ren Xiaoyao's Linglong Pagoda Cave Heavenly Layer, Lao Fan and Li Xiaohong were also among them, cultivating quietly.
After entering Qiling Mountain, Ren Xiaoyao found that Qiling Mountain, which was originally a natural scene, had already erected dozens of huge buildings, as if they suddenly emerged from the ground.
Around these buildings, there was a light of different colors, and it was clear that a magic circle had been placed.
Immortal cultivators are no better than mortals, and for mortals it takes months or even years to build a building, immortal cultivators can build it in just a few days or even a few hours.
Following the designated path, Ren Xiaoyao soon came to a square made of boulders. This is the place where the predetermined entrance to the Yutan Road will appear, but it is not yet time.
It is clear that this megalithic square is newly built, and the surrounding area is still desolate. But at this time, thousands of foundation building monks had gathered in the megalith square, and it was very lively.
Although after entering the road of Yudan, everyone is likely to be opponents, but at this time, many people set up stalls on the spot, selling some sundries and panning for some treasures they need. As a result, a large boulder square stalls gathered.
There are also some maverick foundation building monks, or set up a magic circle around them, or release a few spirit beasts, etc., and sit up alone.
Ren Xiaoyao found a quiet place in the corner, and as soon as he sat down, countless queen bee ants swarmed out of the spirit insect bag, crawling all over Ren Xiaoyao's body, forming a hemispherical area of ten meters in size around him. Seeing this, the surrounding Zhuji monks avoided it like a plague god.
But at this moment, a moving female figure timidly approached the queen bee ant colony and whispered inside: "Brother Yang, is it you?"
