Head to Changye City
The day after the auction, Shi Jiu stayed in Feng Bao Zhai, spending half of his time on cultivation and the other half digesting the experience and knowledge passed on to him by Venerable Covering Clouds, and enjoying it.
On the third day, Shi Jiu went to see Hang Lao.
"Little friend, are you leaving Yongyan City? Where are you going? ”
Hang Lao was a little surprised, although he knew that the other party would leave, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"The juniors plan to go to the Elegy Forest."
Shi Jiu didn't hide it and replied truthfully.
"What? Little friend, are you really going to the Elegy Forest? That place is not a good place, all kinds of underworld beasts are rampant, and there is no shortage of high-level underworld beasts, and there are even soul-level underworld beasts, which is too dangerous. ”
Although there was some speculation before, when he heard that Shi Jiu was going to the Elegy Forest, Hang Lao was still very surprised, and he wanted to dissuade him.
"Thank you Hang Lao for your concern, but the younger generations of the Elegy Forest must go."
"Xiaoyou, the old man knows that you need Shenmu, and he has asked my Fengbaozhai acquisition department to pay special attention to this news the day before yesterday, but whenever it appears, it will definitely be found, so you don't need to go there again, besides, Jinshamu is located in the hinterland of the fallen elf clan, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to enter it."
Hang Lao cherishes talents, in his eyes, Shi Jiu is very amazing, even more genius than all the geniuses he has ever seen, but even so, he doesn't believe that the other party can get the Jinsha Divine Wood from the hands of the fallen elf clan, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, even if he is a soul realm powerhouse, it is impossible to do it, and the slightest carelessness is very likely to lose his life.
"Elder Hang, this junior also knows, but if I don't try it myself, I'm really unwilling, so the junior must go there." Shi Jiu said firmly: "But Elder Hang, please rest assured, the juniors are not reckless people, if things are really impossible, the juniors will come back." ”
"Hey, it seems that I can't persuade you, so when are you going to leave?" Shi Jiu's firm words made Hang Lao give up further persuasion.
"The junior plans to leave early tomorrow morning."
"Alright then, tomorrow I'll have someone take you to Changye City, which is the closest city to the Elegy Forest."
"Thank you, Hang Lao." Shi Jiu thanked him.
In the early morning of the third day, Shi Jiu followed Hang Lao to a clearing in Fengbao Zhai, where three huge Tianqin Eagles were standing beside a carriage, and six reins connected them with the carriage on the side.
"It's Tianqin Eagle?" Shi Jiu was slightly taken aback.
Originally, he thought that Feng Bao Zhai would provide a red sky carriage, but he didn't expect it to be Tianqin Eagle.
"Do you think it's the Red Pegasus? Yongyan City is 300,000 miles away from Changye City, and if it is a red heavenly horse, it will take at least a month to arrive, but this day Qinying can reach it in only five days. Hang Lao said with a smile.
"Thank you Hang Lao, the younger generation really doesn't know how to thank you." After speaking, Shi Jiu bowed deeply to Hang Lao.
"Little friend, please get up, this is nothing, it's a pity that Chen Lao, Mo Lao Wei and the others are not here, otherwise the old man will definitely accompany you on a trip." Hang Lao said regretfully.
"But Xiaoyou, the old man still wants to remind you that this is too dangerous, if it really doesn't work, don't force it, Shenmu is not only in the Elegy Forest, I Feng Bao Zhai is also already investigating, I believe there will be news soon."
"Hang Lao, please rest assured, the kid knows the measure, if he really can't get it, he will definitely come back."
"Okay, then you can go, be careful all the way." Hang Lao finally instructed.
"Thank you Hang Lao for your concern, the kid went." After speaking, Shi Jiu turned around and got into the carriage.
Then the Tianqin Eagle, under the control of the coachman, quickly flew into the northern sky, and disappeared at the end of the sky in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the black dots that disappeared at the end of the sky, Hang Lao shook his head slightly and let out a soft sigh.
It is too difficult to get Jinshamu in the ancestral land of the fallen elf clan, even if the soul realm powerhouse comes out, the possibility is extremely small, and it is extremely dangerous, not to mention the various powerful beasts in the elegiac forest, the current fallen elf clan alone is very xenophobic, and if you break through, it will only lead to death.
Although it is not clear why Shi Jiu needs Jinshamu so much, after getting along for a few days, Hang Lao found that the other party is not a person who easily admits defeat, but he is afraid that if he goes, he will most likely be in danger, and may even lose his life.
"It's a pity, most of such good seedlings are going to die."
After sighing, Hang Lao left the place.
……
Inside the carriage, Shi Jiu looked outside through the window, and the Yongyan City in the distance became smaller and smaller, and the outline line became more and more blurred, and it disappeared completely after ten minutes.
He just left a few days after coming to Yongyan City, Shi Jiu himself felt a little fast, and Yongyan City was the largest city in the entire Yongyan Mansion, he didn't have time to take a good look, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, but when he thought of the golden sand wood in the Elegy Forest, he couldn't wait.
As long as he got the golden sandwood, the Cloud Cover Shadow Heart Gate could be completely repaired, and even stronger, which made him excited.
Jin Shamu was in the ancestral land of the fallen elf clan, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter it, but this was not the case for Shi Jiu, and then he took out an amethyst token from the storage spirit ring, which was engraved with a creature resembling a human form.
This is the Fallen Token, one of the items he got from the bandit leader Zhao Dafa, according to Jin Yun'er, this Fallen Token is a pass for the fallen Elves to go to the ancestral altar, only with the Fallen Token can he be baptized at the altar, which is also the biggest credential for his trip to the Fallen Elves, of course, Shi Jiu doesn't care much about whether he can get the baptism of the Fallen Elves Altar, the main purpose is Jinshamu, only when he gets Jinshamu and ensures his own safety in advance, he will consider the baptism of the altar.
Along the way, in addition to resting, Shi Jiu practiced the Northern Soul Breathing Method and the Grinding Disc Soul Forging Method, and in his free time, he would look at Chang Lin's experience and digest and absorb the experience and knowledge passed on to him by Venerable Covering Clouds, but when he practiced the Grinding Disc Soul Forging Method, he would do it in the Sumeru space, because every time he cultivated, he would scream in pain.
Five days later, in the early morning, Shi Jiu arrived in Changye City, and at the same time asked the coachman not to stay and wait for him, he was not absolutely sure of going to the fallen elf clan this time, and the consequences were unpredictable.
After seeing Tianqin Ying pull the carriage and disappear into the sky, Shi Jiu walked to the gate of Changye City with peace of mind.
Changye Castle is the northernmost city in Changhe County, and because it is very close to the Elegy Forest, the walls of the entire city are built high and thick to resist the attacks of some powerful beasts in the forest.
Walking on the streets of Changye City, in addition to the locals, the most common people are sectarians and loose cultivators, who basically go to the Elegy Forest to hunt the Underworld Beasts in order to obtain the Underworld Core.
After strolling around for a while, Shi Jiu found an inn to stay in for the time being, and then went to the Elegy Forest tomorrow.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the Elegy Forest, a big man was listening to the report of his subordinates.
"So, those distinguished guests are lurking not far from the Fallen Elves, waiting for the upcoming altar baptism of the Fallen Elves?" Dahan said thoughtfully.
"Back to the left protector, that's it." The subordinates returned.
The big man in front of him was the left protector of the Mixed Yuan Palace, and he had participated in the auction of Yongyan City a few days ago, and then went to the Elegy Forest to assist several distinguished guests in completing their tasks in accordance with the will of the Lord of the Mixed Yuan Palace.
"Then did they say how long the altar baptism of the fallen elves will last?" Dahan asked.
"There are about three days left, and those distinguished guests also said that let our people do a good job of the queen and reception, and go to the elf clan to complete it themselves."
"Well, got it, take me to them now." Dahan said.
"Yes."
Afterwards, Dahan led a group of people towards the Elegy Forest.
In the inn, Shi Jiu took out a map of the elegiac forest given to him by Hang Lao, and then looked at it carefully.
Since we will be going tomorrow, we must memorize the map in its entirety and determine the exact route to go and the alternatives.
An hour later, Shi Jiu memorized the whole map and the specific route, and the last task before setting off had been completed, and the next thing was to wait for the next day.
