Chapter Twenty-Six: Out of the City
Qin Wen walked out of Baicaozhai, the corner of the tray had been put back into his pocket, although the weather outside was good, but there was still a biting cold wind, and the people on the street were wrapped in cold clothes and hurriedly walked.
This time I came to Baicaozhai to harvest something, and I learned the origin of this spiritual object from the mouth of the Feng monk, although Qin Wen still doesn't know what changes this spirit stone will bring to the Qinglong Dan Furnace, but one thing is for sure, like the Qinglong Dan Furnace, which is already a magic weapon with a minimum spiritual level, if it is advanced, it will be very helpful for Qin Wen's future cultivation.
Qin Wen also learned from the mouth of the monk Feng that this kind of spirit stone is extremely rare even in the Luhoro tribe in the northeast, so it will appear in the palace as a tribute, but the attributes of this spirit stone have little effect on the skills of the monks of Great Qi, even after entering the palace, it is also used as an ordinary tray.
At this time, Qin Wen thought of going to the Luhao tribe to take a look, maybe he could get some of this spirit stone, and he was also looking forward to what kind of changes would be brought about after the Qinglong Dan Furnace was advanced.
He thought as he walked, now that Han Duan had broken away from refining the Yan Pill, if Xiang Hao needed a Xuan-level high-grade elixir, with the preparation of Shuang'er, Han Duan should also be able to refine a good-quality elixir, which would not have much impact on Duan Wangfu after Qin Wen left.
Back in the mansion, Ao Yu was still in retreat and cultivating, Qin Wen went to the main hall to find Xiang Hao, and saw that Lao Gao, who had recovered from his injury, was also in the hall, so he told them about his going to the Northeast Luhoro tribe.
Xiang Hao and Lao Gao glanced at each other, and when they heard Qin Wen say that the current Han Duan was already able to refine Xuan-level high-grade pills, he said happily: "Since Master Han Dan is refining pills in the mansion, I don't know who Qin will bring with him to the Luhoro tribe this time?"
Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Ao Yu is still in retreat, so I'll go alone, leave Shuang'er in the mansion, and I can also mix some elixir for Han Duan, so I just go out to experience it after the realm is consolidated." ”
Xiang Hao thought for a while and said: "During this time, I am looking for a formation master to refine the purple pulp essence array plate, and in two more years, the palace will be selected, and when the time comes, you must come back." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said: "I went this time to familiarize myself with the customs first, and spiritual things like this are also rare but not sought, and I will definitely come back when the son is selected." ”
Early the next morning, Qin Wen took his belongings, and took a carriage out of the Duanwang Mansion from the side door, his whereabouts in the capital should still try to avoid Zhao Song, and now there is no Ao Yu around, in case Zhao Song learns his whereabouts, it will be troublesome to catch up outside the capital.
After leaving the acropolis of the capital, Qin Wen had already checked the map Xiang Hao gave him in the carriage, and was familiar with the road he was going to take, so he stopped the carriage, and after getting out of the carriage himself, he asked the coachman to turn around and go back to Duanwangfu, and he walked in the northeast direction alone.
In order to save time, Qin Wen did not take the official road, but the nearest route marked on the map, although there were some dangerous shoals, steep slopes and the like, these were not obstacles in the eyes of the monk, Qin Wen could not resist the wind now, but a few flying columns could successfully pass this danger.
On the contrary, he also encountered some good elixirs, among which the most Xuan-level mid-grade elixirs of more than five hundred years ago, although he did not encounter the main elixirs with higher value, these dispensing also allowed Qin Wen to save a lot of spirit stones.
The further north you go, the more sparsely populated, the sky is close to dusk, Qin Wen saw that there was a rolling mountain range dozens of miles away in front of him, and took out the map to look at it, only to see that the mountain range marked in front of him was called the Xuelan Mountain Range, and the dotted line on it indicated that although this mountain was still the territory of Daqi, Daqi did not build a city here, but it was actually a pasture attached to some small tribes of the Luhoro tribe.
Qin Wen looked at the sky, although for the monk, there was not much difference between day and night, but in this deep mountain and dense forest that he had never been to, Qin Wen was still used to walking during the day.
Under the inaccessible hillside, there is snow, Qin Wen flew to a sheltered rock, waved the sleeves of his robe, the snow on it was swept clean, and he glanced at the surrounding environment, and saw a dead tree next to it, so he took out a flying sword and cleaned up the dry branches on the dead tree.
Returning to the rock with a collection of dry branches, he slowly ignited the dry branches with the Yuan Fire, and gradually a bunch of dry branches became a roaring bonfire.
Then he took out an iron pot that he had bought at the market a few days ago from his storage silk bag, set it on the campfire, took some clean snow cubes in the middle layer, and melted them in the pot until they boiled.
Then he continued to add dead branches to the campfire until he boiled a pot of fragrant beef broth, took out the dishes and chopsticks from the storage bag containing the miscellaneous items, tore the pancakes into the bowl, and then added hot soup, and ate it fragrantly.
Qin Wen's cultivation of the Canglong Technique is the skill of physical cultivation, and his amount of food is still relatively large, a pot of beef soup and two pancakes have just been eaten, and suddenly his divine sense moved, and he felt that someone was flying towards him.
Qin Wen put the iron pot and chopsticks on the bonfire into the storage bag, and then his figure flashed and disappeared behind a hillside next to him, the person who can come here now must be a monk, and meeting a monk in this kind of mountain forest wilderness is sometimes more dangerous than encountering a spirit beast, after all, the weak eat the strong, and killing people and seizing magic weapons is very common in the cultivation world.
What's more, this time there is not one person in Qin Wen's divine sense, as soon as he thought of this, he heard a girl's voice coming from the rock where he was just now: "Senior brother, someone should have been barbecuing something here just now, it smells so fragrant, I'm a little hungry." ”
Qin Wen suddenly felt a divine sense sweeping past him at this time, fortunately, he had already thought of it just now, and stopped his aura fluctuations, and this divine sense was not too powerful, so he didn't find any trace of Qin Wen.
A man's voice sounded on the rock: "Senior sister, let's be careful, this person has just left for a long time, and you can see that the bonfire below is still burning." ”
The girl continued: "I think this person is also a low-level monk, if it were a high-level monk, he would not avoid us, maybe he would have run away by now, by the way, senior brother, do you have meat and condiments for stewed soup in your storage bag? It is much more comfortable to drink a bowl of hot soup in this cold and snowy place." ”
Then Qin Wen heard a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo", it should be a man taking something out of the storage bag, and then he heard the man's voice say: "There is meat, but it is a raw spirit wolf hind leg, if it is a soup, it will be a little difficult, what if we don't have a pot?"
The girl said with some frustration: "We were in a hurry when we came, and I didn't bring anything for the haode picnic, what should I do today?"
The man comforted: "Senior sister, we don't have to drink broth, you wait first, I'll find a few thicker branches, let's build a barbecue shelf, it just so happens that I also have barbecue condiments here, let's eat barbecue for the time being tonight, and when I go out from this mountain, I will go to the market to buy all the kitchen utensils used." ”
The girl said with a slight arrogance in her tone at this time: "It's all because you flew so slowly just now, otherwise we would have snatched the set of things that we were cooking here just now." ”
Hearing this, Qin Wen frowned slightly, and heard from the girl's tone that the two were not good at getting along, it seemed that the place he was looking for today should be occupied by the two of them, in this deserted mountain forest, Qin Wen didn't know the origin of the two, and it was not suitable for him to make trouble for the time being, so it was better to let go of this place.
Qin Wen smelled the faint aroma of barbecue at this time, and knew that the two must be grilling on the bonfire they left behind, so he slowly slid away from the hillside towards the mountain with a hidden aura.
Because Qin Wen's movements were very subtle, they did not attract the attention of the two, and after sliding on the snow for about a few miles, Qin Wen found a sheltered cave, checked that there were no traces of spirit beasts nearby, and sat cross-legged in the cave and breathed.
Early the next morning, the mountain wind slowly showed some signs of stopping, Qin Wen knew that the two people he met last night should still be nearby, he didn't light the fire again, he ate a pancake at random, took a few mouthfuls of clean snow, and flew towards the depths of the Xuelan Mountain Range.
Judging from the distance indicated on the map, the scope of this Xuelan Mountain Range is still relatively large, and with the speed at which Qin Wen is flying now, it will basically take about two days to cross this mountain range from the nearest mountain road.
Since he passed by the two senior brothers and sisters who were traveling together last night, Qin Wen knew that he was not alone in walking the road of the Xuelan Mountain Range now, so he was also much more cautious when flying longitudinally, if there were abnormal aura fluctuations, he would first find a place to hide, and wait until he observed the situation before moving forward.
Qin Wen walked all morning, and the two senior brothers and sisters he met last night didn't follow, which made his mood slow down a little, and his speed accelerated a lot.
However, just when he had just crossed a hillside, his divine sense suddenly noticed that there was a strong aura fluctuation under the hillside, and he faintly felt a fierce aura, Qin Wen thought about it for a moment in his heart, and found a relatively hidden stone nearby, hid his aura, and quietly poked his head out to look down the hillside.
