Chapter 33: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters
When the first rays of sunlight fell in the morning, the woman who had settled on the bluestone opened her eyes.
She raised her hand and stroked it lightly on the small sword, and suddenly there was a pleasant sword sound in response, as if she was enjoying it very much.
The woman heard the sound of the sword, her face showed a little smile, her white and slender fingers stroked the sword body, she flicked her skirt and floated up, the small sword roared, and flew to the woman's feet, and the sword body rose and carried the woman towards the sky, continuing the journey she had just begun.
......
......
High in the sky, Lu San opened his eyes, looking at the morning sun that had just revealed a small half, and felt refreshed.
Raising his hand and stretching his waist, there was a muffled sound like popping beans, and he shook his somewhat stiff neck again, and lightly stepped on the light under his feet.
"It's time for another trip to the Bad Waters. ”
Between the words, Huiguang gradually increased speed with a slight shock, circled in the sky, and drove straight to the west, and in a blink of an eye, it had swept to the edge of the sky, leaving only a faint touch of green.
Time flies and never stands still.
It has been more than ten days in a flash, and it has been more than a month since Lu San left the Shengyan Sect, and the news about Lu San's departure from the Shengyan Sect that day has long been spread among the peaks of the Shengyan Sect.
The disciples of each peak were very curious about why he woke up from his epiphany and left the sect, where he went, and what he went to do.
It's just that everyone is speculating, but there is no definite answer.
It wasn't until many days later that a disciple of Lingxu Mountain, when he was hurrying on the flying magic weapon, accidentally found the huge handprint on the ground, when he stopped and flew over the handprint, and when he saw those words, he suddenly realized, and then when he returned to the Shengyan Sect, many disciples came one after another.
They stood in the air above the handprints, looking at the words with different expressions, crying and laughing.
After they returned, more disciples from each peak came.
Then it intensified, directly causing the light between the Shengyan Sect and the mudra to disappear, and people came and went endlessly, as if there was some treasure to be born, attracting countless people to come and watch.
This incident even alarmed Meng Tianyu, and after he came here to watch, he said a few words to the Zhengyang Peak disciples around him, only to see that those disciples actually laid out this ground with a magic circle.
They declared to the outside world that this was the first time that the senior brother had made a move after entering the cave after enlightenment, and it was of great commemorative significance, so they set up a magic circle to prevent it from being destroyed here and there for a long time.
When the disciples of the various peaks heard these remarks, they were all stunned and looked strange. After this incident, Lu San, the eldest disciple of Zhengyang Peak, once again occupied the headlines of various peaks, and the limelight overshadowed the last epiphany.
It's just that after such a long time, Lu San never returned to the sect, which made many disciples of the Shengyan Sect a little disappointed.
Perhaps whenever Lu San was in the Shengyan Sect, he was always happy and ridiculous, adding some different colors to their boring practice.
Or maybe it's the incomparable figure that has been quietly imprinted in their hearts.
......
......
Xipingzhou is located in the extreme west of the Beilu Dynasty, the east is bordered by Beimingzhou, where the Shengyan Sect is located, and the west is bordered by part of the territory of the Tianfeng Dynasty, which belongs to one of the larger continents of the Beilu Dynasty.
If you want to say that the most famous place in Xipingzhou, in addition to the place of Zhongxiu where several first- and second-rate factions are located, that is the poor mountain city located in the westernmost part of Xipingzhou, the reason why the poor mountain city is so famous is because it is adjacent to the land of bad water, and the distance between the two is only a short distance of more than 600 miles.
Although the poor mountain city is called the poor mountain, it is not poor at all, not only is it not poor, but it is one of the few richest and grandest giant cities in Xipingzhou.
The reason why it is so rich and grand is that it is the largest gathering place of cultivators in Xipingzhou, and although the number of cultivators here cannot be compared with the population base of the secular people here, it still occupies a large proportion.
The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, with the vast outer city inhabited by most of the secular people, while the inner city is a gathering place for practitioners.
There are many shops in the inner city, there are many shops, and there are several powerful auction houses located here, of course, the shops and auction houses here are all related to the cultivators, and the countless resources and many treasures of the poor mountain city are also one of the main reasons for attracting many monks to come.
Such a huge giant city, of course, is indispensable to the support of various cultivation sects in Xipingzhou, where the forces of various sects and sects are intricate and chaotic, among which the power of several first- and second-rate sects in Xipingzhou is the most huge, and they jointly maintain the order and rules of the poor mountain city.
Some of their sects are even first-class in the entire Beilu Dynasty.
Of course, above them, there is another top-level power, and that is the Holy Yan Sect.
The strength of the Shengyan Sect does not need to be explained, the battle more than two hundred years ago, the destruction of the Heavenly Ghost Sect of the same level, and the subsequent destruction of several first-class sects, to explain to the world that it is the real master of the entire Beilu Dynasty.
The reason why the poor mountain city can be so prosperous and can gather so many monks, in addition to its own heritage, there is also one of the most important reasons, that is, there is a land of bad water with rich products and many treasures to the west.
The area of the land of bad water is extremely vast, millions of miles away, most of it is surrounded by Xipingzhou and Tianfeng Dynasty, it is a sinister place filled with swamp gas, dense lakes, and many monsters and spirit beasts.
However, although the land of bad water is extremely dangerous, it still attracts many monks who are not afraid of death, just because it is rich in products, whether it is all kinds of materials needed for cultivation or all kinds of materials used in alchemy refining tools, they are all produced in the land of bad water, and those cultivators who enter it, if they can find some and get to the poor mountain city, they will definitely make a small profit.
If you're lucky, if you come across some rare fairy grass spirit objects, you can make a lot of money by selling them for auction.
The income obtained can sustain the cultivation needs for years or even decades, so many cultivators and various sects regard this place as an indispensable place to make money.
There are also many monks who come together in groups, specifically hunting spirit beasts and spirit beast cubs in the land of Bad Waters, because whether it is those adult spirit beasts or those spirit beast cubs, they have a very high value, and the fur and bones of adult spirit beasts are the main materials for refining some low-grade magic clothes and magic weapons.
Spirit beast cubs are even more sought-after in the Poor Mountain City Trading Workshop Market, and cultivators use secret methods to sign contracts with them and cultivate them carefully, and when the cubs grow up, they will definitely be a powerful help.
And if those monks can hunt a high-level spirit beast, the benefits obtained are even more amazing, high-level spirit beasts absorb the essence of heaven and earth all year round, and most of them have formed spirit core crystals of various attributes in their bodies, these spirit core crystals are extremely valuable, and they are necessary for cultivators to practice various exercises and improve their spiritual roots.
For example, if a monk with a thunder attribute spiritual root obtains a thunder attribute spiritual core crystal, whether it is cultivating the thunder attribute martial arts and secret techniques, or nourishing the spiritual root after refining, it will be of great benefit to themselves, which can make their strength rise to a higher level in the short term, saving a lot of penance.
