Chapter 202 Qingxuan Heritage, Snobbish Blue Bird
The topography of the cliff is very special, and the craggy cliffs are naturally divided into relatively independent platform areas.
The area of these platform areas varies in size, from small platforms covering several acres to large platforms covering tens of acres.
The caves mentioned by the man in brocade are located on these platforms, and their styles are also different.
Some are magnificent, and some are pure and quiet.
Some of the construction area is very large, and the pavilions and pavilions are complete, and some are surrounded by spiritual plants and flowing water.
The man in brocade said to Meng Zhou and the others:
"You can pick any one to settle in according to your preferences, and after you choose, tell me, and I will distribute formation tokens to you.
Although these caves have different styles and sizes, they are all third-order high-grade caves, and the quality is not different.
Once you have decided, you will be the masters of these caves until you return. β
Speaking of this, the man in brocade paused before saying:
"In the meantime, you can make some adjustments to the cave to your liking.
But try not to cause too much damage, and those adjustments should also be recoverable. β
His extra reminder made some people wonder and feel a little weird.
But some monks, including Meng Zhou, were all aware in their hearts and understood what the brocade-clothed man was referring to.
Although everyone was respectful and abnormal to Qingxuanzong on the surface, Qingxuanzong's actions over the years had indeed benefited them greatly.
But in their bones, everyone is still wary and vigilant against Qingxuanzong, and they don't dare to really trust 100%.
And many monks have very high requirements for the privacy of the "absolute territory" of the cave.
Based on the above two points, if everyone is arranged in these caves that are obviously prepared for a long time, I am afraid that they will not even dare to open their hearts in private conversations, for fear of being "heard" by some of the arrangements in this cave.
If this is the case, this trip to Qingxuanzong will become a pure ordeal.
Qingxuanzong had obviously considered this situation in advance, and was not willing to burden the guests with such a psychological burden during such a celebration, so he allowed them to make some adjustments and modifications to the cave mansion during their stay.
The man in brocade said this matter so clearly, which also showed that Qingxuanzong was open-minded in this matter.
It can be clearly seen that after he said this, after a period of silence among the guests, the atmosphere in the venue quietly softened and relaxed a lot.
After waiting silently for a while, the man in brocade spoke again:
"Let me introduce myself, my common name is Cheng Jun, the Taoist name Jingyun, the sect specially arranged for me to dock with you, and after participating in the celebration, I will also send you back.
Therefore, if you encounter any problems in the sect, you can contact me directly. β
"The specific time of the sect's celebration is April 24, during which you can move freely."
Song Yang, who had already chatted with him quite well, was surprised: "Can you go anywhere?" β
Jing Yun smiled:
"Those areas that you are not allowed to enter have their own formations or personnel guarding them, so you should be careful not to force your way in.
Other areas, you can come and go as you please. β
All the people were a little surprised, they really didn't expect Qingxuanzong to be so "generous", which was very different from what many people expected.
For a long time, everything about Qingxuan Sect was full of mystery and uncertainty in the eyes of the other forces in Qingxuan Domain.
Although more and more new non-Qingxuanzong newcomers have appeared, they still don't know much about Qingxuanzong.
This extreme asymmetry in information is also an important reason why everyone has always had doubts about Qingxuanzong's actions.
In their assumptions, after their group of "soil buns" entered the Qingxuan Sect, they first had to let them see the strict rules of the sect, and it would never be possible for them to wander around.
You can't go here, you can't go there, this side is Baoshan, and that side is a forbidden place......
But this Jingyun told them that except for those areas that were clearly told that they could not enter, they could walk and look at other places as they pleased.
At this moment, dozens of monks dressed in uniform cyan robes had already appeared beside Jing Yun.
Most of these people are in their twenties and thirties, but all of them are foundation building monks, and their cultivation is at the early and middle stage of foundation building.
Jingyun Road:
"They are all inner disciples of my sect, and they are all familiar with the situation in the sect, and they will always be here during this time.
If you need to, you can choose a few to be your guide when you go out.
Of course, if you want to explore on your own, you can, don't think about it, this is to give you more choices.
After all, the entire Qinglin Peak is thousands of miles in radius, and if you just wander aimlessly, you won't see much for more than ten days.
If you are not very interested in these things, it is okay to stay in the cave and practice and wait for the celebration to start in half a month.
Anyway, it's up to you to do whatever you want. β
After everyone had almost digested what he said, Jing Yun said again:
"Let's talk about the last two things.
Four days later, on April 15, as is customary, there will be an internal trade fair at the Xiaoxuan Summit.
The participants were all their own people. There are not only the descendants of the later stage of foundation building, but also the false Dan monks, and there are also many monks in the early and middle stages of the Yudan.
If you are interested, you can check it out.
If you come across something you're interested in, you can also do it. β
"Nine days later, that is, on the evening of April 20, my sect will have a separate banquet for you in the Qingxuanfeng Sect Master's Hall.
Our Sect Master, the Hall of Deacons, the Hall of Law Enforcement, and many other important members will be attending, so please set aside time in advance. β
Hearing this, Cao Lie, Song Yang and the others couldn't help but secretly gasp in their hearts.
This...... Isn't that a bit too high?
Although everyone is not presumptuous, they also know that even if they have become True Dan Cultivators now, they can still only be regarded as small in front of a behemoth like Qingxuanzong.
The treatment that Qingxuanzong arranged for them was really ...... It really flattered them - really surprised!
β¦β¦
Meng Zhou held a token and entered a cave mansion that covered an area of only seven or eight acres.
In this row of cliff caves, the place he chose has a kind of "ordinary" taste.
The area is not too large, not too small, no more, not too simple, not too simple.
In fact, the caves chosen by others other than Meng Zhou were similar, and everyone tacitly excluded those whose styles were too extreme.
Since it is only temporary, there is no essential difference in the quality of aura, and everyone subconsciously chooses to keep a low profile.
There is no way, their group of newcomers may all be honored as Dao Ancestors on their own territory.
But when it comes to Qingxuanzong, it is best to take the initiative to put away these stinky problems, otherwise, it is just self-inflicted.
After Meng Zhou led Yao Gu, Tu Baiyao and the other four into the cave mansion, he said to them:
"You guys go find a suitable place to live, I'll adjust the formation first."
Since Qingxuanzong has given authorization, he will not let it go.
Meng Zhou first checked the overall situation of the Dongfu formation, and after confirming that there was no back door, he made small adjustments in some places, and that's it.
He didn't make too many changes, nor did he show too strong formation attainments.
During this period, President Pan, Cao Lie, Song Yang, and other monks sent messages one after another, and everyone made an appointment for the next few days.
When I first arrived today, I decided to take a good rest and get used to it.
Starting tomorrow, everyone will make an appointment to travel together.
Now that Jing Yun has made the meaning so clear, everyone does have a lot of curiosity about Qingxuanzong, and if they can take this opportunity to do some in-depth understanding, everyone will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
However, although Jingyun said that everyone could move freely, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided not to disperse the team and act together.
Meng Zhou didn't raise any dissenting opinions about this, nor did he say, "Go ahead, I'll just cultivate."
Not wanting to look too dazzling was one thing, on the other hand, he himself was also very curious about some of the situation in Qingxuanzong.
Moreover, Qingxuanzong is not only Qingxuanzong, but also a mirror, which can be used to have a general understanding of the four of Danqi Sect, Lingling Sect, Jinding Sect, and Hehuan Sect.
After making some simple adjustments to the cave mansion, Meng Zhou summoned Yao Gu and gave him the right to enter and leave freely, and then returned to the quiet room to continue the cultivation of the "Unbounded Sword Domain".
If it was the cultivation of other skills, Meng Zhou might be a little more restrained.
However, the "Unbounded Sword Domain" has a characteristic, when it is not performed on a specific object, it can be regarded as an "intracranial activity".
Aside from the fact that he himself knew what was going on, there was nothing unusual to see from the outside world at all.
Even so, there is nothing to scruple about spending this leisure time cultivating the "Unbounded Sword Domain".
β¦β¦
Next. Early morning.
Meng Zhou took Yao Gu and Tu Baiyao out of the cave mansion and joined President Pan, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others.
Together with the entourage, there were nearly 100 people.
And this is not all of this group, there are also more than forty guides composed of inner disciples of the Qingxuan Sect to accompany them.
Under the leadership of this group of guides, the mighty team of more than 100 people started from their residence and slowly watched.
By Meng Zhou's side, he was accompanied by a guide in the middle stage of foundation building.
And Yao Gu, Tu Baiyao and the other four people were also accompanied by a guide who cultivated in the early stage of foundation building.
President Pan, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others are also surrounded by similar arrangements.
After discussing them yesterday, during Meng Zhou's cultivation, Song Yang and the others, who were good at handling this kind of thing, had coordinated and communicated in advance.
Everyone didn't seem to be walking too fast, but under the guidance of the inner door guides who were familiar with the situation of Qingxuanzong, they set off from early morning to return in the evening, but they also visited many places.
When they returned, everyone's faces were full of admiration and shock.
A Jiedan monk sighed with emotion: "No wonder Qingxuanzong has been able to get so many Zhuji Dans, and the auction of third-order spiritual objects has never been interrupted. β
Today, everyone looked at more than a dozen "medicine mountains".
It is said that Sanchuan Plateau is the most suitable for large-scale spiritual field management, and after looking at these "medicine mountains", everyone knows that this is too full and too absolute.
At the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, those second-order spirit plants will not be mentioned.
Flowers, trees, vines, shrubs, shade-loving, sun-loving, drought-loving, moisture-loving...... At first glance, it looks chaotic, but in fact, a complete ecology has been formed.
In addition, there are many spirit insects and spirit beasts living in it.
It looks ordinary, but any piece of grass in these mountains, when taken to the outside of Qingxuanzong, can be worth a lot of spirit stones.
Those third-order spirit plants located at the top of the mountain were also lush and green, and basically had decades of growth years, a small number of which were in a semi-mature state, and most of them were fully mature.
When a group of "dirt buns" saw this, their eyes turned green.
One of the monks asked about the confusion:
"I see that many spirit plants here are fully ripe, and some spirit fruits and spirit flowers have even passed the best picking period, why don't you arrange for someone to harvest them and then replant new seeds?"
According to everyone's concept of running Sanchuan Plateau, once the spirit plant matures, it is a waste to grow in the spirit field for more than one day, which is a shameful behavior of "occupying the pit and not".
Once the spiritual plant matures, it must be harvested immediately, and then ploughed and planted a new spiritual seed, so that the spiritual field can quickly enter the next cycle, which is the most efficient way to use the spiritual field.
For example, Qing Xuanzong couldn't understand watching the spirit fruits rot in the mountains, and the spirit flowers and spirit grasses didn't care when they passed the best season, and let them wither in the soil.
Faced with such doubts, the answer of those inner door guides was-
"It's for the sake of nourishment."
Later, a more specific explanation was given.
According to them, the ability of the spiritual vein to store the aura can be slowly improved through the way of "raising".
The benefits for Qinglin Peak, although slow, are also all-round.
The other party also gave a very simple example.
"I know that the farming method of Sankawa Plateau not only requires frequent rain irrigation, but also arranges for many spiritual planters to take care of it.
But in these medicine mountains, these are basically unnecessary.
They don't need to go out of their way to cast a spell to rain down, and they don't need to arrange for a spirit planter to take care of it, they can solve it all on their own. β
As he was talking, he saw a "medicine mountain" starting from the foot of the mountain, with clouds and mist rising all the way up, converging on the top of the mountain.
Then, the rain containing rich spiritual energy descends from the sky to the "medicine mountain", and goes all the way down the mountain, and the spiritual plants all over the mountain are bathed in it, and the vitality is infinite.
ββ¦β¦β
President Pan, Yao Gu and others looked very uncomfortable.
And the other party finally made up for it:
"Moreover, we don't lack this little thing, we really need it, just go into the mountains to pick some, there is really no need to get too much."
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Another day, everyone continued to gain knowledge under the leadership of the inner door guide.
Among them, the most impressive thing for Meng Zhou was the five ring-shaped peaks, known as the "Little Five Peaks".
On each mountain, there is a type of spiritual plant with distinctive characteristics.
They are wood-based spirit plants, gold spirit plants, earth spirit plants, water spirit plants, and fire spirit plants.
Not only Meng Zhou, but the other monks were all stunned in the face of this mountain of fellow spiritual plants.
But in the mouths of those inner door guides, this is just a "trial product".
Meng Zhou could see that although this was pretending, it was also a real situation.
Moreover, through the sequential distribution of the five peaks and five series of spirit plants, Meng Zhou also saw some clues and knew that this was indeed an "experimental object".
Harvesting a large number of spiritual materials from different lines is secondary, and its real purpose is to verify the five lineage shengke.
This was also the first time that Meng Zhou had been exposed to a similar "experiment" in the spiritual world.
Prior to this, although he had come into contact with many methods of various systems, such as fire spells, water spells, earth retreat techniques, gold escape techniques, thick earth scriptures, and spring water scriptures......
Although the five systems of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have been completed, they are all independent of each other, just like the thunder, ice, and poison systems, and these five have not yet been taken out separately and summarized into a large system.
And at this moment, when he saw this "little five peaks" connected by five peaks, a concept directly popped up in Meng Zhou's heart.
Wu Xing.
Some doubts in Meng Zhou's heart also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment at this moment.
For a long time, compared to several other third-order sects, the impression of Qingxuanzong on Meng Zhou was relatively "mediocre".
The Dan Weapon Sect attacks the Dan Refining Weapon, the Spirit Control Sect attacks the Spirit Puppet and the Beast, the Jin Ding Sect attacks the double cultivation of the Dharma Body, and the Hehuan Sect attacks and receives, compared with these four sects, the Qingxuan Sect is too distinctive.
At this moment, Meng Zhou felt in his heart:
"Qingxuan Five Elders...... Or, Qingxuanzong's ambition is the greatest. β
β¦β¦
On another day, Meng Zhou and the others visited Qingxuanzong's Dan Weapon Hall, Fu Array Hall, Spirit Control Hall, Alchemy Peak, Refining Peak and so on.
The change in attitude from the curiosity before the visit to the silence after the visit was so obvious.
As for the presidents and high-level leaders of the Professional Association, they did not hide the cold sweat on their heads.
Qingxuanzong may indeed not be able to compare with the more professional third-order sects in terms of Dan weapons, but its professionalism can still be beaten by the Professionals Association, which has now had four major version updates.
In the Fu Array Palace, Cao Lie, Song Yang, President Pan and others met the female array master Chen Ke and enthusiastically stepped forward to talk.
This person's ability, everyone is convinced, she single-handedly presided over the upgrading of the two spiritual veins of Jade Lake and Sanchuan Plateau, and the Sanchuan Plateau City Defense Array, which was completed not long ago, was also from her handwriting.
In the exchange, in the face of everyone's praise and praise openly and secretly, she made it clear after several humble speeches that her formation level could be ranked in the top five of the sect at most, and she really couldn't afford such praise.
β¦β¦
On another day, everyone watched the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of outer disciples conducting morning classes on multiple hills at the same time.
I also took a look at the daily life of the inner disciples.
At the same time, I also went to the "popular attractions" such as the Tibetan Scripture Building, the martial arts arena, the arena, and the Asking Heart Tower.
When they returned, everyone had a heavy harvest.
Once, they knew very little about Qingxuanzong, only that it was very powerful.
But if you want to say a specific sub-ugly Yinmao, you find that you can't say it at all.
Now, after day by day of sightseeing, a large amount of dry goods content is filled under the powerful shell.
Many things are feared because they don't understand, and if they really understand clearly, they don't seem so scary.
But the feeling that Qingxuanzong gave them was that the more they knew, the heavier their awe became.
β¦β¦
Fifteen, early in the morning.
Meng Zhou suspended the cultivation of the "Unbounded Sword Domain", walked out of the quiet room, and left the cave after joining Yao Gu Tu Baiyao and others.
Outside, everyone else came out of the cave and waited there.
After gathering, everyone went straight to Xiaoxuanfeng under the leadership of a group of inner door guides.
Meng Zhou's attention was not on the upcoming trade fair.
He was looking at a flock of beautiful birds with green plumes flying around the group.
This is what they provoked when they visited a "medicine mountain".
For some reason, these birds entangled them, and after discovering that they didn't really hurt them, they became more and more "presumptuous", and even swept directly past one of them.
For these little birds, no one is stupid enough to attack, not even malicious purpose.
Even if they landed on the shoulders of some monks, everyone would only laugh and tease.
Because this is the territory of Qingxuanzong, because when those inner disciples saw these birds, they all had a smile on their faces as if they had seen their relatives, and called this bird "Qingxuanniao".
Such a name, not to mention just resting on their shoulders, is to on the top of their heads, and everyone will laugh and praise "so cute".
So far, this bird is the fourth species with the name of "Qingxuan" after Qingxuanzong, Qingxuanyu, and Qingxuan.
Although it doesn't seem that this little bird is very special, judging by its interaction with human monks, it is at most more spiritual.
The reason why Meng Zhou paid more attention to them was that they first "focused on him".
At first, when the birds first appeared, they watched from afar and flew along with the crowd.
Later, seeing that everyone was very kind, I got closer and got closer to everyone.
And it was after this close encounter that it gradually became different.
They were the first to abandon the False Dan attachΓ©s, and then, those attachΓ©s in the later stages of foundation building were also thrown aside by them.
Only circled around Meng Zhou and the other thirteen Yuedan monks, and in the end, there were more and more Qingxuanbirds around Meng Zhou, while there were fewer and fewer Qingxuanbirds around the other Jiedan monks.
This change was not done instantaneously, but lasted for three days.
It wasn't just the other monks who were with him who cast curious and inquiring glances at him.
Those fellow inner door guides looked at him with wide eyes and bright eyes, and their attitudes towards him became obviously much more eager.
Previously, although these people were separated from them by a big realm, they always maintained a respectful but not flattering attitude when getting along with them, and adhered to the posture of the children of the great sect.
Now, with the strange behavior of the green birds, they actually have a little bit of flattery.
Meng Zhou, who didn't know why, stood in the focus of everyone's eyes so inexplicably, and in the face of this change, he not only didn't be happy, but couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
At this moment, he and Yao Gu and others left the cave mansion and were warmly "received" by these hundreds of green birds with green feathers and green crowns.
It wasn't until Meng Zhou showed annoyance in his heart that these Qingxuan birds seemed to realize his unhappiness and no longer approached him, but flew far around him.
However, although Meng Zhou felt something wrong, his mood was basically stable.
The performance of those inner disciples of the Qingxuan Sect at least made him understand that this was not something that would immediately invite disaster.
However, this kind of "bird-for" spotlight effect is not a comfortable experience for Meng Zhou, who is used to being low-key.
Meng Zhou had already made up his mind, and he must ask clearly later what was the reason for Qing Xuanniao's behavior.
In the cultivation world, there are some animals with special abilities.
Treasure hunting rats, for example, can tell where the most valuable treasures grow.
Another example is a kind of mourning bird, where some people are unlucky, which once made this bird "stigmatized".
But it turned out that it wasn't they who brought bad luck, they just sensed that someone was going to be unlucky, and then "predicted" it in advance.
Meng Zhou guessed that this kind of Qingxuan bird, which didn't seem to be anything special, was likely to be a creature with similar characteristics.
Meng Zhou was thinking about finding an inner disciple to ask after the trade fair was over, and as soon as he arrived at Xiaoxuanfeng, he saw Jing Yun, who had not been seen for many days, waiting there.
Seeing a group of them arriving, he nodded casually to the others, then looked at the Qingxuan birds behind Meng Zhou, and said with a smile:
"Ge Daoyou, I heard that the snobbish bird is eyeing you alone, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Snobbery?" Meng Zhou was puzzled.
Jing Yun explained with a smile:
"It's this green bird, we also call it a snobbish bird, because they are born with a pair of snobbish eyes, and they are the most able to see the wind and rudder, and step on the high and low."
Jing Yun explained a lot to him with a smile, and his attitude was obviously much closer than that day on the spaceship, and there was even an undisguised appreciation in his eyes.
But with his admiring gaze, Meng Zhou felt a little overwhelmed.
After his explanation, Meng Zhou knew how terrifying the "snobbish eyes" of the Qingxuan Bird were.
In a group, whether it is a human monk or a wild monster, they can find the most powerful and most important being in a special way.
Then, "shamelessly" got up.
Meng Zhou didn't know whether Qing Xuanzong was intentional or intentional.
Anyway, there are already hundreds of Qingxuan birds "identifying" him, and Jing Yun also approves of the hints given by this group of birds.
He smiled and walked into the fair venue with Meng Zhou.
In a small venue, four or five hundred people had gathered, and with the entry of Meng Zhou's group, these people cast curious, inquiring, or cold glances.
Jingyun had already made arrangements, and a large piece of vacant land was reserved for them in advance.
Jingyun beckoned everyone to sit casually.
In front of everyone's casual sitting, there is a setting that looks like an auction table.
However, unlike the auction of Hexinlou, which shows the rank and pattern everywhere, the monks in the later stage of foundation building, the few fake Dan monks, and some Yuedan monks are all very casual to sit in twos and threes.
While waiting for the trade fair to start, everyone was still chatting casually.
After Jing Yun led Meng Zhou, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others to finish the area reserved in advance, a middle-aged man appeared on the auction table with a smile, first nodded lightly in the direction of Meng Zhou and others, and then said:
"There are guests here today, so I have prepared some more opening items, and anyone who is interested can compete, but ......"
Speaking of this, his gaze swept over the crowd, deliberately lingering on some people, as if these people were the "thorns" he focused on.
"Don't be vindictive! If anyone makes today's trade unpleasant, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life. β
After he issued this warning, Meng Zhou felt that the atmosphere that was invisibly aimed at them outsiders had obviously weakened a lot.
The middle-aged man turned to Meng Zhou and the others:
"Let me introduce to you that our fair is divided into two parts.
One is the auction that I am currently presiding, and when the auction is over, everyone will trade freely and communicate with each other. β
Speaking of this, he paused, and then said:
"If you really like some items later, but because you don't have enough spirit stones on you, don't worry, the Deacon Hall can help you pay in advance, you just need to return them within the agreed time."
He saw a look of surprise on the faces of some people, and explained again:
"Don't worry, there is no interest, and you can pay as much as you want, but you also need to pay attention to what you can."
After explaining, he no longer paid attention to Meng Zhou and the others, and a flying sword with a red body appeared in his hand.
"A third-order mid-grade flying sword, just came out of the furnace of the Danqi Palace, it's still hot, the starting price, 500 high-grade spirit stones, each increase must not be less than ten, let's start."
With that, he waited quietly for everyone to bid.
Meng Zhou obviously felt that the attention of Cao Lie, Song Yang and the others beside him was instantly focused on the flying sword.
Everyone didn't expect that this trade would be played so high-end as soon as it came up.
However, they didn't make the first bid, but looked at the Qingxuan Sect monks present.
However, the reaction of these people was ...... Very bland.
Everyone was a little puzzled at first, and then suddenly they were surprised.
Since such a flying sword was refined by the Qingxuanzong Dan Weapon Palace, with the status of the Jiedan monk in the Qingxuanzong, the third-order magic weapon that should be equipped has already been prepared.
Even if they want something better, the third-order mid-grade probably won't be able to satisfy their appetite.
As soon as they thought of this, there was an inexplicable emotion surging in everyone's hearts.
Soon, however, everyone put this senseless emotion aside.
If this reasoning is correct, it means that this lot is basically a "welfare" tailored for them by Qingxuanzong!
For this kind of weapon that can immediately improve its own strength, it is likely to be an important partner for decades or even hundreds of years to come, although everyone is a few people, but there is no reason to be modest.
So soon, one by one began to shout prices.
Soon, the price of this flying sword rose from 500 to 1,000 high-grade spirit stones, and in the end, it was won at a high price of 1,200 high-grade spirit stones.
After the flying sword, the middle-aged man took out a third-order middle-grade magic seal.
After the third-order middle-grade magic seal, it is another third-order lower-grade bell-shaped magic weapon.
β¦β¦ Eight third-order magic weapons in a row, half of them are medium-grade and half are low-grade.
Except for two of them, which were contested by Qingxuanzong Jiedan, and one of them was won by Qingxuanzong Jiedan, the other seven pieces all fell into the hands of Cao Lie and other foreign Jiedan.
Jing Yun looked at Meng Zhou, who had never shouted the price beside him, and said in surprise: "Why didn't Ge Daoyou ask for the price?" Didn't you like any of it? (End of chapter)
