Tianji Fei also nodded in agreement, but although he also felt the preciousness of this Shura Mental Method, he was still young and had a vague concept of wealth at this time, and after a while of excitement, he turned his attention back to the other basic ancient books in his hand; In his opinion, the secret books that could not be practiced were far less valuable than the books in his hands. After opening the last box and finding nothing, the two sorted and placed the debris one by one. In the end, the two brothers carefully placed the secret book that they could not use for the time being, along with the jade bracelet, in an inconspicuous place in the corner, and only took the bottle of unknown elixir and a few weapons for martial arts training, and then got up and left the narrow cellar.

After some tossing and turning in the morning, it was close to noon; In the sun-drenched courtyard, the temperature is becoming a little unbearable. Thinking that he was going to rush to the Dongyun Mountain Range to investigate the situation in the afternoon, Tian Jihong couldn't help but look forward to it, and from today onwards, he could officially start struggling as a cultivator. Of course, before leaving, he still had to ensure Xiaofei's safety, so after lunch, Tianjihong told Tianjihong to stay at home to be vigilant at all times, except for occasionally going out to confirm the movements of the old seven, the rest of the time as much as possible to stay at home and close the door, if there is really danger, you can hide in the cellar. After all, it has now been confirmed that the guys who may come to cause trouble are mortals with no spiritual power, as long as they hide in the cellar, without the exploration of soul sense, it is likely that it will be difficult for these mountain bandits to find the trace of Xiaofei. In the end, after he babbled and explained for more than ten minutes, causing his younger brother to cover his ears and start urging him to go on the road, Tian Jihong waved goodbye and ran in the direction of Dongyun Mountain in the distance.

As the name suggests, the Dongyun Mountain Range is located near the Dongyun City in the boundary of the Shiyu Land, with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters and a steep mountain; Because it stretches for hundreds of miles, it is connected to the east of Wusheng Mountain and looks at the Xiwu Strait in the west, and as mentioned before, the entrenched position of the Dongyun Mountain Range just wraps Dongsheng Town on the south side tightly in it, which also blocks the road between it and the Dongyun City under the jurisdiction of Shiyuzong in the northwest, so the world calls it one of the three dividing lines on the Xiwu Continent.

Due to its vast coverage area and steep terrain, the surrounding sects, especially the Shiyu Sect in the north, had to give up the inclusion of Dongyun Mountain in their sphere of influence, after all, it took a lot of effort to find a road in such a deep mountain; If you still expect to send people to garrison it, it is simply impossible. However, although this Dongyun Mountain is outside the range of the convergence of various forces, it does not mean that the latter has not set its sights on this rich mountain.

In fact, from time to time, the forces of all sides will send their disciples to come to the Dongyun Mountain Range in groups to look for opportunities, and the news that all kinds of elixirs, ores, and even treasures made of heaven and earth have been unearthed in the Dongyun Mountain Range have been heard. Tianjihong's location on the east side of the sea may be good, after all, this side is located in a remote area, the road is not smooth, and few outsiders pass through this mountain range except for Dongsheng Town. However, the northwest side of it is closest to Dongyun City, and that side is the territory of Shiyu Sect, which can be said to have dug three feet into the ground in that area, and even with the help of the fertile soil here, directly dispatched coolies recruited from Dongyun City to reclaim this area and plant elixirs, and every year, about a quarter of the elixirs under its doors are transported from the foot of this Dongyun Mountain Range.

And as Li Ming mentioned, there is no pie in the sky in the world, and all kinds of opportunities are naturally accompanied by dangers. This Dongyun Mountain Range is like a treasure that has not yet been fully exploited, and how can there be all kinds of lurking dangers in it? The cliffs hundreds of meters high and the treacherous mountain roads are enough to make ordinary mortals daunted; In addition, as mentioned earlier, even if they are strong, many cultivators who are disciples of the major sects often dare to go deep into this mountain range in groups. Fierce spirit animals, vicious outlaws who hide deep in the mountains, and, most deadly, the uneven flow of spiritual energy in the mountains due to terrain obstacles and climate change, have created a variety of dangerous environments in various areas between the mountains.

I have heard that when someone strayed into the mountain range, he broke into an area where the spiritual power in his body would be continuously compressed by a mysterious force in the air until it was annihilated, and in the end, this person's body could not withstand such a terrifying pressure and directly turned into a puddle of pus; There are also people who are said to have broken into an ancient battlefield area, obviously there was a peerless master here to duel, that person was in the valley of a sword qi that has not been dissipated for many years, directly cut off the head with a sword, and died on the spot; Some people even mistakenly thought that they had discovered a treasure place of cultivation with beautiful heavenly spirits, but when he went deep into it unsuspectingly, his companions realized that this place was due to the strange changes in the fusion of the aura of different elemental attributes between this area, and then transformed into such a fantasy area in front of him, and the true appearance of this place could not be such a holy place with beautiful mountains and rivers and transpiring spiritual charm in the eyes of several people; And from the fact that there has been no news since the guy who strayed into it, it seems that this is most likely a place of great murder shrouded in illusions.

Although most of these legends come from the mouths of monks, they are famous for not being able to stand up to the dangers of this Dongyun Mountain, so naturally some of them are passed on to mortals and deified. Tianjihong also listens to the older generation in the village on weekdays, and occasionally tells these things to the children as stories or jokes, also to warn future generations not to intrude into this dangerous mountain range at will. However, even if he understands these many dangers, Tian Jihong, who is full of energy at this time, still maintains a high fighting spirit, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, his cautious attitude on weekdays does not mean that he has lost his desire for adventure, so for his future practice, he broke into the mountains alone to find opportunities, as a young man, he has been yearning for a long time.

However, according to the plan, today I am only exploring the road first, and for Dongyun Mountain, which I have never set foot in, it is the first task to figure out the road in and out of the mountain. Running head-on under the scorching sun, Tian Jihong was already sweating profusely for a while, and he was following the road that the hunters in the village had told him about the mountain on weekdays. The area of this road is quite flat, surrounded by the villagers who come to pick tea and grow vegetables during the day, and there are not too many tall trees growing, so the field of vision is very broad, and you can find the entrance and exit of the mountain range relatively smoothly if you use this place as a reference point. The only fly in the ointment is that in such a scorching heat, it is difficult to find even a shade on the side of the tree, and the hot climate makes it impossible to hear the cries of birds and beasts in the fields at the foot of this mountain, let alone see human figures.

Fortunately, after traveling about five miles, Tianjihong gradually stepped into the woods at the foot of the mountain, and as the vegetation gradually became denser, the problem of high temperature was successfully solved. But at the same time, the limitation of vision is also gradually increasing, if there is no clear path on the ground to wind all the way into the deep mountains, Tianjihong may have just entered the woods for a quarter of an hour and has to lose his way. According to the hunters in the village, this forest is the area where they roam and hunt on weekdays, and some hares and pheasants can be found here on weekdays, but the real beasts have never been heard of. Therefore, when Jihong crossed this forest, he still did not slow down, and the outer area that Orion can set foot on weekdays should not have anything that can threaten him.

As the terrain rises, the vegetation in the forest finally becomes sparse again, and it looks like it is almost at the end of the forest. After leaving home for about half an hour, Tian Jihong passed through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and at this time he saw a craggy rocky field, and the dirt road under his feet also came to an end. Looking up, these thousands of crooked but very sharp strange rocks could not be seen under the hazy clouds and mist in the distance.

Tian Jihong had to look at the mountainside higher, and since then, the terrain of the surrounding peaks has risen sharply, and many steep stone walls can be faintly discerned between the cliffs, extending at a near-vertical angle to the top of the mountain hidden by the mist. According to his speculation, this place can be about two or three miles away from the mountainside; It's just that even in today's sunny weather, it would take at least an hour for ordinary people to cross the rocky slope of these two or three miles, and during this period, a careless, sharp rocky cliff may also cause accidental injuries, which is really not a wise choice for a little guy like Tianjihong who is in a hurry to complete the task. Fortunately, my goal is not to climb the mountainside; Moreover, in terms of Tianjihong's current situation, he was not willing to break into such a deep place to take risks, in case he had any accident in the deep mountains, there was this annoying rocky slope blocking the way home, and he would not even be able to find a way to escape by then.

At this time, Tian Jihong's gaze gradually turned to the location of the junction of the two mountain peaks on his left hand. Looking at the gentle terrain at the end of the field of vision, there was no need to guess that Tianjihong had already deduced that there must be a valley of considerable size, and maybe a water source could be found in it. Now, if I bend in the direction of the valley over there, I only need to pass through a small section of rocks to go around to the foot of the mountain peak on the left, so that I can perfectly avoid the inconvenience of the difficult terrain in front of me, and also save a lot of time for future tasks.
