Chapter 22: To Blackstone

The Northern Meadows, a rare place full of life and peace within the ruins of the immortals.

In the vast grassland, clear rivers flow slowly, and I don't know where they come from, let alone where they end up. The riverside is full of beautiful flowers of all kinds, many of which are rare and exotic plants that monks from outside the world have been looking for.

The mist formed by the aura of heaven and earth will always slowly shroud the grassland.

Here, it will always be the way it is in the morning, and it will never change.

The two figures walked slowly along a clear river from a distance, their figures seemed to be slow, but each step was extremely strange and full of ten feet, and soon appeared in the field of vision.

It was a tall young man and a woman. The man was dressed in a short garment, but the upper body was half tattered, revealing the tense muscles inside. Although it doesn't look very strong, there is an explosive power hidden under the bare skin.

The woman next to her looks extremely neat and refreshing, with a silky black hair like a simple bundle behind her head, and a special temperament that is as elegant as a chrysanthemum on her fair and clean face, which is forgettable.

At this time, the woman's eyes fell on the man's exposed muscles from time to time, and a cute blush appeared on the elegant little face, which added a bit of beauty.

......

"Exhibitionism, big pervert!"

For this guy who insisted on not wanting to change his clothes, Xie Luying slandered in her heart. However, looking at Chen Yuxiang's gaze, it was gentle and could squeeze out water. Obviously, that time when the hero saved the beauty had a considerable impact on her psyche.

Chen Yuxiang was also a little helpless when he saw Xie Luying's gaze. It's not that he has to expose his muscles, but he only has this clothes. He is a big man, how could he think that he would have to bring a few sets of clothes to enter the immortal ruins?

"In addition to this guy's high skill, his divine sense is also different from ordinary people, and along the way, he has also discovered a lot of mature spirit grass!" Xie Luying thought of this, pursed her red lips, and a slight smile appeared on her fresh and clean face.

These spirit grasses, naturally, without exception, have entered the Qiankun bag of the second-level alchemist Xie Luying.

"Stop!" said suddenly, the young man.

"Did you find it again?" Xie Luying said with some surprise.

Chen Yuxiang nodded, his body turned into an afterimage, and ran towards the depths of the mist on the left, and disappeared in an instant. After a while, the figure ran back again, but it was holding a spirit grass in its hand.

The spirit grass had seven dark green wide leaves, and there was an extremely delicate purple lotus flower at the top, which looked extremely beautiful, and the entire spirit grass exuded extremely rich mana fluctuations, obviously it had been for many years.

"200-year-old seven-leaf lotus!" Xie Luying said with some excitement, and as soon as her little hand flipped over, a box made of white jade appeared in her palm: "Write it to me quickly, you have to put it in the jade box!"

"Miss Xie, I told you that I am also an alchemist. Can't you leave me a spirit grass?" Chen Yuxiang touched his nose and said helplessly.

However, after the protest was ineffective, Chen Yuxiang still honestly threw the seven-leaf lotus over.

Xie Luying carefully put the seven-leaf lotus flower into the jade box, put it in the Qiankun bag, raised her head and pursed her rosy lips and smiled sweetly: "Can you work hard! You are so powerful, you will have time to find pills in the future, why bother to rob me of this little woman's things in this northern grassland, hehe!"

After speaking, the lotus step moved lightly, and he should move forward first.

Chen Yuxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and also followed.

......

The northern grassland, with a radius of thousands of miles, connects the five Qi Refining Stage cultivators to the area where they may be teleported. Blackstone Town, on the other hand, is in the middle of the North Meadows, about the same distance from the five regions.

The purpose of building a town within the immortal ruins was to restore the spiritual power of the monks.

Many places in the immortal ruins are like the Blade Desert, there is no existence of heaven and earth spiritual power at all, and in such a place, it is impossible for the monks to stay for a long time.

Therefore, the monks of the three major sects who came to explore the treasure in the past would build some small towns for people to live temporarily in those areas where there was the aura of heaven and earth.

Blackstone Town is one such town, which was built by Wudang monks. The aura of heaven and earth in the northern grassland is already very strong, and in Blackstone Town, the martial juniors have also established a powerful spirit gathering array, and the effect is also very good to restore spiritual power in it.

At the same time that Chen Yuxiang and the others were rushing to Blackstone Town, there were also several monks in other directions walking in the direction of Blackstone Town.

Among the monks who entered the immortal ruins to explore the treasures, only the three major sects each had a quota of 10 Qi refining stage cultivators, and the four major families and royal families in Luoyang City also sent a few Qi refining stage disciples each. And other forces can't waste their places like this.

Therefore, most of these monks who rushed to Blackstone Town were from these forces, and most of their skills were at the peak of the Qi Refining Period.

However, there are exceptions!

......

"Evil beast!"

With an angry shout, a flying sword with a cold light emitted an incomparably dazzling sword light, and instantly slashed at the head of a level 5 demon beast "Hundred-Eyed Demon Scorpion". The hundred-eyed demon scorpion's sturdy carapace, which was comparable to that of a low-level magic weapon, was as fragile as cardboard in front of this flying sword. The eyes of the hideous head flickered with cold light, but it immediately lost its lustre, and the head also slammed into the ground.

Yan Cangtian withdrew the flying sword, put the dark black crystal nucleus into the Qiankun bag, and then took the hand of his wife, Gongsun Auntie, turned into a light smoke, and continued to run towards his destination.

As a master in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, Yan Cangtian was naturally able to kill a demon beast like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Scorpion, which was only equivalent to a mid-stage Jindan monk.

Yan Cangtian and his wife entered this immortal relic hand in hand. Although he did not find a target among the monks who entered the immortal ruins of the Wudang Sect, he firmly believed that the target was one of the ten.

Since Gongsun Auntie is a monk at the peak of the Jindan period, the area where the two of them appear is extremely fortunate to be in an area where the master of the Jindan stage teleported, and the danger is not high.

After entering the immortal ruins, Yan Cangtian and his wife did not explore the treasure, but directly went to the area where the low-level monks teleported and killed.

The goal of the two of them was the possible gathering place of the Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

And the closest place to them is the town of Blackstone!

"If you really can't find that kid, the old man will kill all the little guys in the Wudang Sect's Qi Refining Period!" Thinking of the only son who died tragically, Yan Cangtian's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

......

"Big brother, hurry up!

"Second brother, that's a third-level spirit grass, it won't take much time to pick it!"

"Hmph, we're taking on a death mission this time, if we can't find that kid, we can only end up dead after we get out! Besides, how many third-level spirit grasses do you pick to sell for 5 million spirit stones!"

"Huh? That's right, hehe. According to the intelligence, that kid will appear in the Blade Desert, and if he doesn't die in the desert, he may go to Blackstone Town. It's strange, isn't this teleportation into the immortal ruins random? How can you be so sure of the location of the teleportation?"

"What do you want to do so much, the information of the City Lord's Mansion can still be fake? Hurry up, rush to Blackstone Town early, don't let that kid run away!"

In an area suitable for monks in the foundation building period to explore treasures, two monks in the Jindan period were speeding at one side while talking through transmission.

These two people were the two who drank low-quality ale in the mortal area that day. And their target is also the town of Blackstone!

......

"Whew! It's finally here!"

Seeing the small town that appeared in the field of vision, Xie Luying patted her chest cutely and said happily.

"If you hadn't had to pick any spirit grass, we would have arrived a long time ago!" Chen Yuxiang said with some dissatisfaction. In his hand, he was holding Xie Luying's soft little hand.

From the edge of the Blade Desert to Blackstone Town, it was about 3,000 miles, and it took the two of them eight hours.

At the beginning, the second-level alchemist Xie Luying couldn't stand the attraction of those flowers and plants on the side of the road, so she had to stop and pick the spirit grass. Later, Chen Yuxiang saw that her efficiency was too low, so he couldn't help but show his powerful divine sense, and took the initiative to help her pick a few times. Who knows, it will make the speed of the two slower.

Looking at Xie Luying's appearance, it seemed that she wanted to pick the mature spirit grass of the entire northern grassland.

In the second half, Chen Yuxiang finally didn't want to waste any more time, and directly pulled Xie Luying and ran away. If it weren't for that, the two of them wouldn't be here now.

"Hmph!" Xie Luying glanced at Chen Yuxiang and shook off his hand: "Don't talk about me!"

Blackstone Town, with a radius of only half a mile, is said to be a small town, but it is better to say that it is a larger courtyard. The walls of the town are made of black stone and are several feet high. There are almost no stones on the north meadows, and it is not known where they were obtained.

The main building of the town is a large black palace. The Spirit Gathering Array built by the Wudang Sect back then was in the palace. In the center of the palace is a rotunda of more than 1,000 square meters, and there are rooms around the hall, which are the secret rooms for the monks who arrive here.

When Chen Yuxiang and Xie Luying arrived here, there was no one in Blackstone Town. After entering the main hall, Chen Yuxiang felt the concentration of spiritual energy here, and said with satisfaction: "Well, yes! If you recover your spiritual power here, you should soon return to your peak state." The secret room prohibition here is also very strong, you are cultivating in it, no one should be able to disturb you, and I am relieved!"

Xie Luying Bingxue was smart, she couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and said with some resentment: "Brother Shen, didn't you say that you want to come here too? Why are you leaving again?"

"I just said that I wanted to pass through here, but I didn't say that I wanted to stay here!" Seeing this, Chen Yuxiang said helplessly: "You also know my strength, I am here to hunt for treasures, and I can't waste time in these places......"

"Oh. It's a waste of your time to be with me, isn't it?" Xie Luying looked straight at him and said sadly.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Chen Yuxiang said repeatedly. He could naturally see that the little girl was acting, but he still couldn't see the woman's tears: "That's good! You go and recover your strength, and I'll protect you outside." When the people of your three major sects come, I'll leave again!

"Hehe, okay!" Xie Luying's face immediately became sunny, but the tears that had been brewing for a long time finally rolled down: "Say it earlier, it will make people cry!"

"Hmph, if you want to get rid of me, how can it be so easy!" Xie Luying said proudly in her heart: "If I don't follow you, where can I make money so easily?"
