463 The rest of the earth hangs in the air, and the spirit pet is in hand
Ten days later, on the morning of the first day of April, the demon ginseng meeting in Taibailin began. Anyone who holds a letter of recommendation issued by the Taibai Forest Crane Department can enter the Lingshen Garden.
There aren't many letters of recommendation from the Tsurubu. The three major clans and three strong clans in the demon world, namely tree people, ghost owls, dream raccoon dogs, cranes, spirit apes, and demon foxes, each got three sets of places, a total of thirty-six letters of recommendation.
The Treants among them wouldn't have come to this event at all. Because the Tree Clan's physique is born with the potential to form pills on its own, there is no need for external medicine. And even if foreign medicine is given to them, it is useless.
Still, six letters of recommendation are still for them. It is impossible to know to whom they took the letters, or whether they sold them or simply threw them away.
There is not a single water tribe among the six clans in the demon world, this is because the freshwater lakes in the southern demon land cannot raise real big demons. The powerful water tribes are all in the land of sea demons in the East China Sea.
If you talk about the entire demon class, there are also the three holy clans of ancient times, that is, the dragon clan, the phoenix and the unicorn. It's just that these three clans are isolated from the world and never participate in these mortal disputes in the demon world in their eyes.
The heirs of the Three Holy Clans are said to be born with the Void Pill, so they don't have to participate in this battle for the Demon Spirit Ginseng for the sake of the Pill. Like the Tree Clan, they all have their own unique cultivation methods inherited by their own bloodline, and they don't even need Jin Dan and Sanhua Outer Medicine.
Of the five major sects in the human world, only the Soul Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Extreme Martial Sect each sent four groups of people. The Lingyuan Sect on Danxia Mountain in the North is the ancestor of all sects, and they will not participate in these mundane disputes.
Thus the number of letters of recommendation received by the entire human race is thirty-two. If you add demons, there will be a total of sixty-eight monks who will participate in the demon ginseng conference.
But in fact, there are still bits and pieces of blank recommendation letters that flow out to the hands of small ministries and even scattered cultivators in various places, and the one Gou Zhu bought from the auction is one of them. Therefore, in the end, there must have been more than sixty-eight monks.
Monks entering the Ginseng Garden must sign a blood contract, which stipulates that each person can only pick two live demon ginsengs after entering. Once you try to pick the third branch, you will immediately be teleported out by the Sealing Array.
The reason why each person is allowed to pick two sticks is because most monks will choose a medium-grade or even low-grade ginseng as a guarantee to keep on their bodies. If you can't find the top grade in the end, you will use the guaranteed ginseng to tie the pill. If you find it, you can resell the extra one after it comes out.
The quantity of high-grade demon ginseng was extremely limited, and the vast majority of monks were eventually able to end up guaranteed. If only one is allowed to be picked, then I am afraid that many people will have to return empty-handed.
The remaining middle-grade ginseng and low-grade ginseng, after the Lingshen Conference, the crane clan will send special people to harvest and sell, and the price will not be too high. Therefore, if you don't pursue the top-grade Cheng Dan, you don't need to participate in the life-and-death competition of the Demon Ginseng Conference, and you can buy the live spot within a one-month period.
Lingshen Garden is not a plantation on a Taibai forest, but a mountain. The most amazing thing is that the whole mountain is made up of "resting soil".
Polysoil is a terrible soil. This soil is said to come from the heavenly realm, not from the human realm. As long as this thing falls on the human realm, it will absorb the aura in the water, soil and even the air, and continue to multiply and grow, and eventually it will become more and more soil, and sooner or later it will swallow the entire earth.
On the rest of the soil, all the plants in the human world could not grow, and everywhere they went was barren, and the spiritual energy was absorbed, and it was impossible for the monks to cultivate anymore. Therefore, it is regarded as a great scourge in the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent.
Ten thousand years ago, the soil spread and gradually became out of control. The powers of the demon world and the human world joined forces and used their vast mana to refine most of the remnants of the human realm, but still left a small part for cultivating demon ginseng.
At that time, the monks had already discovered the miraculous effect of using demon ginseng as a foreign medicine to form elixirs. Demon ginseng is also a plant from the heavenly realm, and it can only grow in the soil. Therefore, the crane tribe calls the soil the spiritual soil.
There are not many remnants left in the demon world, and the Lingfei Mountain in the Taibai Forest is the one with the most. Lingfei Mountain is not located on Taibai Mountain, but suspended in the air, and the position is a hundred zhang above the top of Taibai Palace.
The whole Lingfei Mountain is thousands of feet high, with a radius of 20 miles. Such a large giant object suspended on the roof of the Taibai Palace will inevitably block most of the sunlight over the Taibai Palace.
But most of the time the sky is clear and cloudless at the top of the White House. No matter how you look up, you can't see the existence of any floating Lingfei Mountain at all.
The reason is that the ancient powers joined forces to set up the Great Sealing Array. This array is a heavenly array, and without a formation, it directly relies on the power of heaven and earth to suspend this huge piece of soil in the air.
Not only that, but the Great Breath Sealing Array also isolated the Spirit Fat Mountain, so that the entire Breathing Soil could not absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, and it would not expand indefinitely.
Even if the sunlight hits Lingfei Mountain, it will directly penetrate due to the relationship between the large array, and will not be absorbed by the rest of Lingfei Mountain. Therefore, when the people below looked up, they could only see an empty blue sky.
Even if a bird hits Lingfei Mountain, it will not be able to enter, but like light, it will instantly penetrate and appear on the other side of Lingfei Mountain. So for the most part, the mountain is as if it didn't exist. No one can enter the Lingfei Mountain.
But if the soil can never absorb any spiritual energy, then the demon ginseng on Lingfei Mountain will continue to be picked by the cultivators, and sooner or later the soil on Lingfei Mountain will also collapse due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy in the soil.
Therefore, this breath-sealing array has a special design. Every April, when the heaven and earth are full of vitality, the great array will relax slightly, allowing the heaven and earth aura to partially enter the Lingfei Mountain. At this time, if you look up at the top of the White Palace, you can vaguely see the existence of a vague floating mountain.
From April 1 to April 15, it is the only window through which monks can enter and exit Lingfei Mountain throughout the year. On April 1st, the Demon Ginseng Conference begins, and after April 10, the Demon Ginseng Conference will end. There are still five days left for the Crane monks to harvest the remaining demon spirit ginseng.
At other times, Lingfei Mountain was isolated from the world by the Great Sealing Array, and even the highest level of the Crane Clan could not enter and exit by themselves.
Although the Crane Clan is nominally the lord of Lingfei Mountain, the Great Sealing Array was jointly built by the great powers of various clans in ancient times. Of course, the benefits should be shared by all the ethnic groups who have contributed to the effort.
Therefore, if the Crane Clan plans to directly stop the Demon Ginseng Conference in any year and monopolize all the Demon Spirit Ginseng produced, it will inevitably trigger a crusade from all major clans.
Even this time, the Crane Clan forbade small tribes and scattered cultivators to enter, which was actually risking the world's condemnation.
But as soon as the major clans benefited, they had nothing to say. Second, this is the only time in 10,000 years that the small tribes and casual cultivators still have a chance next year, so most of them endured it.
But because of this, the news that a 10,000-year-old demon spirit ginseng king was going to be born this year was spread, resulting in a blank recommendation letter being fried to a high price of tens of thousands of taels of blood spirit stones.
Although the truth of this news is unknown, the major clans and sects are naturally gearing up, and each of them has sent geniuses and proud sons to compete for this rare opportunity in ten thousand years.
It was impossible to fly directly to Lingfei Mountain. How could the Heavenly Array that had been laid out by the many ancient powers join forces to break it? Even at the beginning of April, when the power of the Great Array weakened, it only allowed some sunlight and air to enter and exit.
From the outside, the image of Lingfei Mountain is blurry, like a huge reclining Buddha lying in the air. Although the White House has a bit of a hazy feeling, it is not very different from the past. If someone flies directly to Lingfei Mountain, they will also pass by, and they won't even be able to touch the hair.
But there is a teleportation array in the Taibai Palace. When the April Sealing Array was a little weak, this teleportation array could teleport people into Lingfei Mountain.
It's easy to get out of Lingfei Mountain. As soon as a thought flashed, the Great Array of Sealed Spirits would teleport them back.
This year's rule is that the people who enter are in pairs with a contract, so as long as one of them flashes the idea, the other person must also be obediently teleported.
At this time, nearly 100 people from all walks of life had already arrived near the teleportation array in the Taibai Palace. This naturally includes hooking. At this time, the green scales on his face had disappeared, and he had become his original appearance.
He swaggered and wore a pale gray straight-embellished Taoist robe that human cultivators often wear, with a scarf on his head, a sword on his back, a silver chain in his hand, and an elegant crane half a man tall behind him!
As a human being, he was already very unpopular in the demon world. On the territory of the Crane Clan, he actually led a crane as a pet? If he hadn't been able to take him with the letter of recommendation for the Demon Ginseng Conference, he would have been beaten to death by the angry Crane Clan people on the way.
Even if he was safe and sound now, the gaze of the many demon clans around him was obviously fiercer than that of the other human races. Especially those Crane people, that gaze was enough to poke him into a sieve.
But in fact, there are countless demon slaves and spirit pets in the demon clan, and it is not impossible for the crane clan to become other people's demon slaves. It's just that such arrogant human beings are really rare.
Gou Zhu's heart was full of unhappiness, and he secretly thought: "You think I am willing to do this?"
According to the rules of the Demon Ginseng Conference, the spirit pet can be brought into the Lingfei Mountain as a help, and it is not a head. But no matter what kind of spirit pet, each person can only bring in one, and can only enter in the form of an original beast, and must bring a chain and hold it with his hand to prevent the pet from making trouble when teleporting. Violators will not be allowed to enter the teleportation array!
