Chapter 553: Distress
After the celebration of the knot, Qiao Yuan's reputation also spread far and wide, but just when everyone's eyes were focused on the Liang family, he said goodbye to Liang Yun, Liang Rong and the head of the Liang family, and left quietly.
A month later, on the northern border of Donglai Kingdom, a young man dressed in white appeared in Shengxue, his appearance was delicate, his eyes were as bright as stars, his steps were steady when he walked, and his back was as straight as a pine.
There was a mortal town on this northern border, and Qiao Yuan had no intention of staying here for long, so he planned to cross the border directly and travel to the capital country.
But his divine sense swept away at will, but he found more than a dozen foundation building monks in this mortal town.
After a closer inspection, Qiao Yuan could see that the dozen or so monks were in a tripartite camp, each turning a blind eye, and they were scattered in three teahouses in the town.
The fact that so many foundation building monks appeared in mortal towns was already strange, and it was also a tripartite camp, without thinking about it, Qiao Yuan also knew that they must have some intentions.
Originally, when he encountered this kind of thing, Qiao Yuan didn't want to meddle in things, but when his divine sense came out, he happened to hear a group of monks, who were actually talking about the "Forbidden Box".
Qiao Yuan naturally knew that the Forbidden Box was the jade box he had obtained from Qi Dechang, that is, the thing that could be used to enter the Forbidden Source Land.
Driven by curiosity, he listened intently to two more sentences, and only then did he understand that it was an auction house in Beijing that was snatched away when he was auctioning a forbidden box.
You must know that the auction house in the Xiuzhen Realm attaches great importance to credibility and face, and when this happens, the owner behind the auction house is extremely angry and even posts a reward order.
Whoever catches the monk who snatched the forbidden box, not only does he not have to return the forbidden box, but the auction house will also give 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones as a thank you, and in addition, that person can also get a promise from the auction house.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was already a little moved, of course, he was not for the Forbidden Box, nor for the 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, but for that promise.
He must go to the forbidden source, but he can't guarantee that he will be able to get those three extinct ancient herbs.
And with the promise of the auction house, even if Qiao Yuan really didn't get those three herbs at that time, he could let the auction house find them on his behalf.
With the manpower, material and financial resources of the auction house, it must be much more efficient than Qiao Yuan to find alone, so it can be regarded as leaving a way back.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan simply walked into the town, found a roadside stall, and listened carefully.
The auction house is called Shengyuan, which is the industry of the three major business alliances in the Donglin Continent and the Shengshi Business Alliance.
Qiao Yuan has traveled to various trading markets in Donglai Country over the years, and has dealt with Shengshi Business Alliance a lot, and knows its purpose of reputation first.
It can be seen that the reward order issued by Shengyuan Auction House should be true.
And as soon as this reward order came out, the major immortal cultivation families in the capital country were moved, and even the four major sects sent out many elite disciples.
However, in half a month, Jingguo was almost turned upside down, but unfortunately the monk who snatched the forbidden box was still not found.
Later, news came out that the monk did not know what method he used, but within half a month, he escaped layers of round-up and fled to the junction of Jingguo, Donglai and Tiansha.
And those three groups of monks are the children of the Xiuxian family stationed at the junction of Jingguo and Donglai Kingdom, responsible for contacting the monks who have penetrated into Donglai Kingdom, and inquiring about news here.
After Qiao Yuan heard this, he didn't hear them talk about the cultivation of the monk who snatched the forbidden box and other information, and he couldn't help frowning.
After waiting for a long time, I heard that those people had already started to talk about some trivial matters.
Qiao Yuan lost his patience and appeared directly, revealing the cultivation of the Jindan period, and asked them for a copy of the basic information of the monk who snatched the forbidden box.
This basic information was announced by the Shengyuan Auction House, and it was no secret that almost every monk above the Jindan period in the capital country had a copy, and those monks in the foundation building period naturally did not dare to say a word, so they offered it with both hands.
"Jindan Great Perfection Cultivation?"
Qiao Yuan glanced at the jade slip that recorded the information, and glanced at the monks in the foundation building period with some suspicion.
Those people were swept by Qiao Yuan's gaze, and they suddenly felt a chill in their bodies and minds, and one of them, a yellow-robed man with a perfect foundation, hurriedly bowed down and explained.
"Senior, the information on this jade slip was released by Shengyuan Auction House, and the junior will never dare to fake it, if you don't believe it, you can ask a Jingguo monk at will. ”
Qiao Yuan didn't believe the information on the jade slip, it was just a monk of Jindan Daquan, who dared to grab the things of Shengyuan Auction House, this is not the old birthday star hanging, he is tired of it.
You must know that Shengyuan Auction House belongs to the Shengshi Business Alliance, and the Shengshi Business Alliance can be called one of the three major business alliances in the Donglin Continent, and its strength is definitely not weaker than any sect.
A Jindan stage Dzogchen monk is really not enough to see in front of such a behemoth.
Seeing Qiao Yuan frowning and pondering, the yellow-robed man guessed that Qiao Yuan must be a monk of Donglai Kingdom, otherwise he would not have asked them for information Jade Jian, after thinking about it, he continued to explain.
"Senior, don't you know, although the monk who snatched the forbidden box only has the Jindan Great Perfection cultivation, but behind him is a Yuan Infant monk, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape the layers of round-up, and it only took half a month to escape from the capital of the capital to the border of the three kingdoms. ”
After Qiao Yuan heard this, his expression moved, and the secret path was probably like this.
He turned his head to look at the yellow-robed man, turned over his hand and took out a bottle of elixir and threw it over, saying lightly.
"Tell me everything you know. ”
The yellow-robed man took the pill, swept his senses, and his face showed great joy, shaking out all the gossip he knew.
It is rumored that the snatching of the forbidden box was premeditated, and that Jindan Dzogchen monk was just a chess piece.
Behind him, there are not only Yuan Infant Stage monks who are fueling the troubles, but also the shadows of the other two major business alliances, the purpose of which is naturally to discredit the Shengshi Business Alliance.
Of course, these are all rumors circulating in the market, and there is no real evidence at all.
When Qiao Yuan heard these news, his expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he believed it or not.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Yuan walked out of the teahouse and flew towards the junction of the three kingdoms.
This place is already the junction of Jingguo and Donglai Kingdom, and Tiansha Country is in the extreme west, more than 30,000 miles away from here.
Qiao Yuan flew west for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the junction of the three kingdoms.
This is a rolling mountain range, called the Critical Mountain Range, with towering peaks one after another, and there are countless low-level demon beasts in the mountain range, and even third-order demon beasts can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, not only are monsters rampant in the critical mountain range, but monks from all over the place have also gathered here, making the originally quite quiet mountain range seem very lively.
Qiao Yuan's divine sense was scattered at will, and he felt the breath of more than ten cultivators of the same level.
Out of politeness, he did not rashly reach out of his divine sense to check the figures and physiognomy of those people, but randomly found a deserted mountain and fell.
But at this moment, Qiao Yuan's expression froze, and he let out a light "Huh", and then he raised his hand and took out a yellowed talisman.
"Childe, save me!"
As soon as the talisman came out, a woman's voice immediately came into his ears.
There was despair and horror in that voice, but there was also a glimmer of hope, as if the words that came out were her last straw.
"Hu Yu. ”
Qiao Yuan looked at the talisman in his hand, his expression uncertain.
He asked Hu Yu to lead the way six years ago, took Qi Sihai's nest, promised to make a move for Hu Yu once, and gave her a teleportation talisman, so that she could contact herself with a teleportation talisman if she had something.
Six years have passed, and Hu Yu has never used the messenger, but he didn't expect that today, Qiao Yuan received her call for help, and listening to the tone, Hu Yu's situation is very dangerous.
"No, this distress message should have been sent five days ago, but I didn't receive it because of the distance. ”
While thinking about it, Qiao Yuan found the clue and muttered softly.
This 10,000-mile communication talisman is a special talisman, and the distance of transmission is not limited to 10,000 miles, but 50,000 miles.
If Hu Yu was in distress near Jiang Qicheng, Qiao Yuan was in the Liang family, which was enough to detect it at the first time.
But now, Qiao hiking five days late to receive the message, and he still came to this critical mountain range to receive the message, which is enough to show that Hu Yu came to the vicinity of the critical mountain range five days ago.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan intently sensed it carefully, and then vaguely noticed the location of the transmission talisman in Hu Yu's hand.
"She's actually in Tiansha Country!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and the direction he sensed was in the Western Tiansha Country.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qiao Yuan immediately gave up the idea of inquiring about the news here, and galloped towards Tiansha Country.
Although he received the distress message five days late, Hu Yu was likely to be more than lucky, but whether she was dead or alive, Qiao Yuan had to go.
Not for anything else, just to fulfill the promise of the year, and ask for a clear conscience.
The Critical Mountain Range is a cross-shaped mountain range, with tens of thousands of miles in length and width, Qiao Yuan galloped all the way, spent a day and a night, killed a lot of demon beasts that blocked the way, and finally stepped into the territory of Tiansha Country.
Although this is the first time he has stepped into Tiansha country, he has already heard that Tiansha is full of yellow sand, and eighty percent of the land in the territory is desert, and only the land bordering Donglai and Jingguo has a green space.
Qiao Yuan looked at the trees on the ground that were getting lower and lower, and suddenly remembered the scene of the changes of mountains and rivers, the mountains turned into jungles, the jungles evolved into grasslands, and the grasslands weathered into desert Gobi.
Flying all the way from the Critical Mountains to the territory of Tiansha Country, this real scene was quite similar to the changes in the mountains and rivers he felt in the mountains and rivers screen.
The only difference is that the changes in the mountains and rivers are the traces of time, but now they are the changes in the natural terrain.
Qiao Yuan wrote down this place, thinking that he would definitely come here to travel in the future, maybe he could "touch the scene" and enter the state of enlightenment.
With a decision, he collected his thoughts and flew faster towards the interior of Tiansha Country.
Qiao Yuan could clearly sense that the messenger on Hu Yu's body was getting closer and closer to him.
