Chapter 165: Aoki Canyon
Zhang Yifan found nearly a thousand eggs of three-star demon insects in his spirit beast bag, the number of these eggs was beyond Zhang Yifan's expectations, presumably with Huang Wen's ability, he only planned to hatch a small number of demon insects.
Through the confession, Zhang Yifan knew that these demon insects were all stolen by the young monk from the evil cultivator's lair and hidden in a secret place, and they were only found some time ago, and they were not ready to hatch.
The hatching of the Demon Worm requires specific conditions, otherwise the eggs will not hatch even if they are a hundred years old, so the Devil Worm eggs are intact after being placed for several years. As for how the demon worm hatched and cultivated, it was recorded in detail in the "Miscellaneous Notes on the Experiences of Huang Wen's Imperial Beasts", which he had learned from the evil cultivators before.
Whether to cultivate demon insects, Zhang Yifan was not sure at this time, he decided to let them go first, and now he didn't have the time and energy to cultivate demon insects.
Zhang Yifan took these treasures out of the existing storage bag and put them in his own storage bag. Although Wang Tianmu and Huang Wen's storage bags are good, generally this kind of sect-style storage bags have some markings, and some even have special markings, which may attract sect monks to track them, so in order to avoid some trouble, Zhang Yifan still destroyed these storage bags.
After finishing all this, Zhang Yifan began to settle down, meditated to recover his mana, and waited for the monk surnamed Peng and others to come over.
After swallowing a few top-grade mana recovery pills, it took less than a day for Zhang Yifan's mana to recover completely, and the whole person was refreshed.
While there was still some time, he took out the refining table and repaired the magic weapons such as the Jin Yuangang Shield that had been damaged before. Fortunately, the damage to the magic weapon was not serious, and it took Zhang Yifan two days to restore the magic weapon. This is one of the benefits of being a refiner, and this is also the reason why no one wants to fight with a refiner when it comes to fighting methods compared to consumption.
While there was still some time, Zhang Yifan began to browse the scenery at the entrance of the Aoki Canyon.
A curtain of waterfalls about 100 zhang wide cascades down into the deep pool in front of the entrance to Aoki Gorge. The deep pool is bottomless, and it is rumored that there have been good deeds who have been diving along the deep pool, and they have not found the end for three days and three nights, but have been frozen to death in the deep pool.
The entrance is surrounded by green and vigorous, it looks pleasing to the eye, it is indeed a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, Zhang Yifan can't help but feel a little happy when he sees this place. He is usually busy cultivating immortals, and he pays too little attention to the cultural scenery, and occasionally sees magnificent scenery, and his chest can't help but be open, and he is full of pride.
The flying stream is magnificent for 3,000 zhang, and the pine is verdant for 800 years! Zhang Yifan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
After a long time, Zhang Yifan left with some reluctance and continued to explore the periphery of Aoki Canyon.
Aoki Canyon is a large and narrow valley that is rumored to have been caused by the battle of ancient beasts. Zhang Yifan was deeply suspicious of this, the entire Aoki Canyon was more than two hundred miles wide and about seven or eight hundred miles long, and he really didn't dare to imagine what kind of fierce beast could have such great power to punch out a Aoki Canyon.
But there were countless remnants of mountains and abysses around the canyon, as if they were caused by a fight, which made him hesitate a little.
For some reason, Aoki Canyon only allows monks who have cultivated below the foundation building period to enter, and once the monks of the Jindan stage or the Yuan Infant stage break in, all the spirits will burst and die within one breath, which is extremely mysterious. Yun Xizhen, the famous Yuan Infant Master before, fell in the Aoki Canyon because of this.
As for why high-level monks couldn't enter, some powerful seniors speculated that it might be the battle of ancient fierce beasts, which caused drastic changes in the heaven and earth in the canyon, causing the power of heaven and earth in the canyon to mutate.
As long as the monk forms a golden pill, he can be regarded as having a real communication with heaven and earth, and at this time, there will be a thunderstorm coming, allowing the monk to wash himself and at the same time make his own breath close to the power of heaven and earth, but in this way, he will be repelled by the power of mutated heaven and earth in the canyon, resulting in the monk's soul not being able to withstand the pressure of the power of mutated heaven and earth and burst.
In addition, Aoki Canyon is surrounded by a barrier formed by the power of mutated heaven and earth, which isolates the inside of the canyon from the outside world. The miasma in the canyon and the clear water and green mountains outside the canyon are completely two worlds.
Because there is no high-level monk in the canyon, there are monsters all over the place, and because of the miasma, the monk's divine consciousness will be greatly suppressed and disturbed in the canyon.
Therefore, the entire Aoki Canyon is a forbidden place for high-level monks, and it is also very dangerous for low-level monks, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.
There is only one relatively safe entrance to the entire Aoki Canyon that has been explored so far, and the rest of the canyon is dangerous for low-level monks.
This entrance was explored by the Xuanhuo Sect, the True Miao Sect, and the Bailing Sect with a lot of effort, and the Aoki Canyon was already in the sphere of influence of the three sects, so the non-three sect monks who came here to experience the treasure hunt needed to pay a fee of one hundred spirit stones. The time allowed for one hundred spirit stones is five days, and more than five days will be charged at one hundred spirit stones per day.
Even so, there are countless non-three sect monks who enter the Aoki Canyon every year to hunt for treasures, bringing huge profits to the three sects. Although the heavenly materials and earth treasures in the Aoki Canyon are moving, this method of thin water and long flow is obviously more in line with the interests of the sect, and the way of fishing with all its might can only obtain short-term benefits.
Zhang Yifan was familiar with the environment near the Aoki Canyon, and then went to the Sanzong stronghold located at the entrance of the Aoki Canyon, which can also be said to be a small square market. Monks who explore the Aoki Gorge inevitably need to buy and sell something, so the market here is also quite prosperous.
Zhang Yifan traveled and felt a little disappointed, the things in this Fang City are much worse than Aoki City in terms of quality and quantity, but there are more spiritual materials, demon beast materials and elixirs produced in Aoki Canyon, Zhang Yifan is not ready to buy it, and there is an opportunity to collect it after entering Aoki Canyon.
In the end, he basically didn't buy anything, just bought a few pills for emergencies.
Zhang Yifan found an inn near the entrance of Aoki Canyon to meditate and rest, while his divine sense always paid attention to the situation around him.
There are many monks in this stronghold, and most of them seem to be relatively strong, and if you don't have some ability, you don't dare to look for opportunities in this Aoki Canyon, after all, this is a famous dangerous place in Lingnan Prefecture.
In the past two days, there were many monks who entered the canyon, and Zhang Yifan roughly sensed about two or three hundred, among which the monks in the foundation building period were the majority, and most of them walked in pairs. After all, it is never daring to act alone without absolute strength and self-confidence, and many people encounter opportunities together and there are many monks and few porridges, so basically two or three people together is the best.
Zhang Yifan waited for two days, and finally waited for the monk surnamed Peng and the monk surnamed Lin to come to Aoki Canyon. Next to the two of them stood a jade-faced monk with a lofty spirit, like a sword immortal being born, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted thousands of eyes. The monk surnamed Peng was very respectful of the jade-faced monk's demeanor, and even had some flattery.
"It's Lin Sixian of the Xuanhuo Sect, this person is the first person in the foundation building period of the Xuanhuo Sect, and he has a fire sword body, which is a natural fire attribute sword cultivator, and his strength is extraordinary. Why is he here, could it be that there is a treasure in this Aoki Canyon?"
"When the time comes, we will know if we follow secretly. ”
"Don't be provoked by this person, who is said to be ruthless and will cut off his hands and feet at the slightest disagreement. ”
"As long as you are careful, isn't it? Daoist friends are a little alarmist, they are also monks in the middle of the foundation building period, and they will not be so bad in the next year. “
"Hmph, I'm kind enough to persuade you, if you don't listen, just let it go. “
......
Zhang Yifan focused his attention on Lin Sixian from the beginning, although this person was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and he was almost the same as another monk surnamed Lin beside him, but he felt very different, and it seemed to be very dangerous.
Just when Zhang Yifan was about to spy further, the other party frowned, and he was already a little aware of it. Zhang Yifan immediately withdrew his divine sense and hid.
"What's wrong with the third brother?" the monk surnamed Lin asked when he saw that Lin Sixian was a little strange.
"It's nothing, a guy hiding in the shadows was just peeping at me, and I noticed it, but the other party was alert and quickly hidden. Lin Sixian said lightly.
"Who is so bold and dares to peep at Senior Brother Lin so blatantly, do you want to find him out and repair it well, so as to teach him to know that in the territory of my three sects, it is the dragon that is coiled for me, and the tiger is lying on my stomach. The monk surnamed Peng said very arrogantly.
"Forget it, the purpose of this trip is not easy to provoke. You all come with me to visit Uncle Li, who is guarding this place, and then we will enter the Aoki Canyon to find the place that Senior Brother Peng said, so as not to have too many dreams at night. “
"Everything is under the orders of Senior Brother Lin. “
"Yes, third brother. ”
......
"This man is really difficult. Zhang Yifan's expression was a little solemn, just now he just tried it slightly, and the other party noticed it, thinking that his divine sense was definitely not much worse than him.
Zhang Yifan saw that the three of them went to the main hall where there was a master of the Jindan period of the three sects, so he was not in a hurry to follow immediately, so as not to arouse suspicion.
He didn't hide his cultivation now, but he changed his face to that of an inconspicuous middle-aged monk. The body was only exposed to a slightly more delicate storage bag that had been obtained from the casual cultivation before, and even the moon catching boots were inconspicuous. On the outside, he looks like a depressed and ordinary middle-aged monk.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the three of them finally came out of the main hall, and then directly entered the Aoki Canyon, without paying spirit stones, which aroused the envy of the monks.
At this time, some monks did not hesitate to pay the spirit stones and entered the Aoki Canyon without hesitation, and Zhang Yifan also entered with the crowd, and everything went smoothly.
After entering the Aoki Canyon, Zhang Yifan felt that his divine sense could only barely detect a distance of two or three miles. The air in the valley was filled with a thin pale red miasma, and Zhang Yifan activated the mana shield and blocked the miasma from the outside of the magic cover.
Zhang Yifan used his divine sense and found that Lin Sixian and the others were already a mile away from him, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace and rush forward. To his astonishment, the seven monks beside him also walked in that direction, knowing each other.
