Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Entry into Jovo
The five of them got off the boat and landed on the shore, and after seeing off the senior sister, they turned around and looked ahead, staring at it.
Directly ahead, the cliff is thousands, smooth as cutting. Thousands of cliffs, layers of red waves rippling, faint auspicious light diffusely; such as cutting the mirror, reflecting the sea, catching the sun and the moon, sassy into brilliance. The three big characters of "Jiufeng Island" at the top are inlaid and engraved with undersea jade crystals. Facing the rising sun, each stroke gives birth to a sparkling brilliance, enveloping the main area of the entire Jiufeng Island, and extending to the sea for more than 10,000 miles. Reflecting the vast sea, backed by the ancient world of Jovo, it creates a world of beauty.
The cliff is five zhang high above the ground, and there is a round boulder inlaid in it, emitting a golden light of ancient atmosphere. Listen carefully, it seems to be chanting the ancient rhythm, and it seems to be the echo of the ancient bell, gathered in it. The sound between the cangyu was submerged in it.
On both sides of the cliff, along the coast, there are many strange rocks several feet high, like guards guarding the island, standing against the wind and looking at the sea. The main area of the island is surrounded by two strange rocks, forming a flat land with a radius of 100 feet. On a strange stone on the right, an ancient character "enter" is written, and on a strange stone on the left, an ancient character "out" is written.
The five of them walked for a long time, nostalgic for the glory of the Zhenwu Hall in the past, and the heart of worship was natural and sincere.
An hour later, the five of them walked side by side towards the strange rock on the right.
The two first-line heavenly passages in and out were opened up after five generations of sect elites. A line of sky is paved between a long and narrow cliff, with stubborn stones embedded in the cliff. Each stubborn stone, as hard as steel, is transported from the stone mountain of Jiufeng realm. The adjacent boulders are more than three feet apart. Under the playing stone, there is the sea, which leads directly to the other world Jiufeng Realm, as if there is a street between the two worlds.
Dugu Yangming opened the way as usual, and the other four followed. It's just that Linghu Xuzheng is bitter, and several times, if Dugu Yangming hadn't caught it, he would have fallen into the deep sea. Fortunately, after walking for a while, I gradually got used to the rhythm of this small jump and stabilized.
A hundred zhang line of heaven, under the footsteps of the five Ning Yuan Realm cultivators, it was only two hours before it passed. This is also due to the fact that I am not familiar with the road when I am walking for the first time. Coupled with Linghu Xuzheng, it naturally slowed down a lot.
When entering the Jiufeng realm, a fortified city built of huge stones appeared in front of him. The walls of the city, which have been cut neatly and built up layer by layer, are not tightly seamless, but there are pores between the stones. Under a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the arrangement of large holes and small holes is made according to certain laws.
With the way of these five people, naturally they can't see the reason.
After the five of them walked forward a hundred steps, Dugu Yangming took the lead and said, "Today, there is no time to look for demon beasts and spiritual materials. The first priority is to find a place to spend the night. If you want me to see, we don't need to go into the city, just spend the night in a secluded place outside the city. ”
Lu Qiu said: "Let's not be too risky! I have also heard that this Jiufeng Realm is about to become a forbidden land. ”
Dugu Yangming said impatiently: "It's all nonsense! My own back garden can still become a forbidden place for my own family? That's why this situation is just the incompetence of my children and grandchildren! I don't want to be an incompetent. He said lightly: "Fatty, if you are afraid, go back early!"
Shangguan Canghai took over and said, "Senior Brother Yangming's mention of today's rest is very appropriate. Brother Leyu's suggestion not to be too risky is very reasonable. If you want me to think about it, let's find a place first, think about it, and decide to go there to find spiritual materials or treasures, which is the right thing. ”
The five of you said a word, and I said a word, and came to a stone house outside the city. After a little cleaning and tidying, it is used as a temporary shelter.
After the five of them sat down, Huang Shi asked, "Senior Brother Dugu, what land do you say we should go to?" Anyway, it's better not to go out of the range of eight hundred miles. ”
Linghu Xuzheng also responded: "Yes, the opinions of several senior brothers are very good. Second brother, don't act stubbornly. ”
Dugu Yangming looked up to the sky and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Sometimes, I really don't know what your heads are for! What are the eight hundred miles? Only Senior Brother Xu is a kind of person, who only comes once in a while, and how many places can he go. If you want me to say, if there is calm within a radius of 300 miles now, then it can be regarded as the manifestation of the ancestor and the blessing of the safety of some unfortunate disciples. Moreover, judging from the current strength of the sect, if it can guard the entrance and exit of the Jiufeng Realm, I am afraid that it will have to burn high incense. ”
After a while, he added: "As far as I know, the places that have been explored now are the closest to the city: Stone Mountain in the south of the city, Longtong Market in the west of the city, Qianyun Peak in the north of the city, Waterfront Cliff in the east of the city, and Lion Dance Ridge in the southeast of the city. Of these five places, the safest place for us is the stone mountain in the south of the city. Stone mountain, flat and open, few monsters and beasts, more grass and trees. I think it shouldn't be difficult to encounter some third-grade spiritual materials. Even if there is danger, it is enough for the five of us to deal with it. ”
He thoughtfully instructed: "If there is any mortal danger, try to go into this city." In the city, there must be an elder in the gate who guards the entrances and exits. ”
Lu Qiu Le muttered: "The sect is eccentric! People like you can't wait to give you all the spiritual materials and pills, so that you can hurry up with the divine conception." ”
"Fat man, what do you mean by this, why is the sect biased towards me?"
"If no senior brother of the divine realm told you, would you know so much about it? Hmph! This can't fool people!"
"Don't say anything else, just a blood snake snake ancestor, give me that pitiful reward, I don't have any place to cry, and you still block me. Besides, the reason why I only know about these five places is because I learned in the book that some spiritual materials for cultivation have been collected in these places by people in the sect. I read books, but it's a real flower spirit crystal, don't say it, I'm reading it for free. ”
"Second brother, what spiritual materials are you looking for?
"It doesn't matter to me if there is one. I'm just going out to relax, looking for it, and it's good to find it, and if I can't find it, forget it. As for what the spiritual material is called, I don't think I've heard of it, and you probably don't know it. ”
Shangguan Canghai's heart was as fine as numbness, and when he saw Dugu Yangming's words flickering and not knowing how to intercede, he asked carefully: "Senior Brother Yangming, are you cultivating some secret method and need special spiritual materials to assist?"
"Yes, but, for now, it's just a matter of thinking. ”
Ling Hu Xu and Lu Qiu asked in unison, "What secret method?"
Dugu Yangming slowly closed his eyes and said, "This should be a secret of the sect, and I must not say it until I have cultivated to Xiaocheng." It's already dark, so get some rest. Tomorrow morning, I will leave. ”
Lu Qiu Le muttered again: "You still say that you are not partial!"
After a while, Dugu Yangming stopped talking, and closed his eyes alone. The four of them lowered their voices, exchanged ears, and chatted.
At night, outside Jovo City, the wind gusted, blowing a faint smell of blood. In this realm, which is known as the "back garden" of the True Martial Palace, I don't know how many alien races exist, and I don't know how many demon beasts and yin spirits are rampant. In such a different world, it is a great blessing in itself to have a place where people can be at ease.
Inside the stone house outside the city, a faint blue light began to emit suddenly, suddenly flourishing, and suddenly thinning. This is exactly the glittering effect produced by the cultivators of the Ning Yuan Realm when they are cultivating to attract spirits. Gradually, a purple light rose, suppressing all the blue light. The beginning of this purple light seems to be no longer the common Ning Yuan Glitter, but more like the incinerating mirror of the divine conception.
The secret method of Dugu Yangming's cultivation, every time he cultivates, the seven orifices are full of light, the meridians are all connected, the spiritual power is unrestrained, and the waves are endless. Therefore, the slightest mistake will lead to death. Because from the very beginning, the spiritual power attracted during cultivation was twice as much as that of a normal person. Later, after the purification of nameless things and the opening of the Jade Mansion, now a spirit crystal is only enough for him to cultivate for five days. And Huang Shi and the others, although they are also brave in entering the territory, a spirit crystal can still be used for about twenty days.
When all the light was completely gone, there was a gasp from inside the stone house. After it subsided, Dugu Yangming gave each person a three-grade spirit pill, and said softly: "Hurry up and take it, don't ask more!" In the quiet rest of everyone, the night passed quickly. For monks, every moment of the day can already be felt with the body.
As soon as the hour arrived, the five of them walked out of the stone house, determined the direction, and walked towards the stone mountain in the south of the city.
On the way, the four of them naturally asked about the elixir. Dugu Yang Ming replied: "This is the three-grade spirit pill I refined myself-Yuanyang Rhubarb Pill. To refine this pill, three main materials are required, which are grass worm oil, iron snapper buds, and Wuluo flowers. Among them, because of the scarcity, the value of grass worm oil has exceeded the scope of the three spiritual materials. Therefore, although I have already mastered the method of refining this pill, it is obviously impossible to refine it in large quantities. Give one to each of you, I'll dig into my heart, don't be dissatisfied. ”
Huang Shi said: "Yuanyang Big Yellow Pill is already one of the best eight of the three grade elixirs of this sect. Long-term use can not only help the body to channel spirituality, smooth the meridians, and eliminate the fatigue of the body after cultivation, but also significantly improve the spiritual power and purification introduced each time. I also heard that if you can take it all the time, you can practice twice a day after a certain period of time, and you won't get tired at all. ”
Shangguan Canghai continued: "Well! I heard that there were only sixteen of our disciples, and they had several bottles of Rhubarb Pill with them every day. You can eat it at any time. Come to think of it, people eat this elixir as a leisure food, and we can only eat one occasionally. This gap is indeed too big. ”
Lu Qiu said, "However, I heard that at present, no one in our group has been able to refine the Yuanyang Rhubarb Pill. Although Jing Jinlian, under the personal guidance of Dantang Elder Ru Wei Zhenren, had already refined into a four-grade spirit pill, she still did not have any breakthrough in the eight most important spirit pills among the three grade spirit pills. ”
Shangguan Canghai said again: "Then it doesn't need to be said! Among our group of disciples, if it weren't for Senior Brother Yangming, who held them down to the death, they would have felt invincible in the world." He smiled again and said, "Senior Brother Yangming, if you want me to see, you also refine weapons and formations, and compare them all." ”
Dugu Yangming snorted and said, "The spiritual materials you gave me to cultivate? Actually, I have also studied these three kinds of cultivation problems, if you want to cultivate at the same time, you basically have to have hundreds of spiritual materials before you can use them." Alas, even if they sold me, I couldn't do that. If you have the heart, you will help me find the spiritual materials of Yuanyang Rhubarb Dan in the future. If the amount of spiritual materials is sufficient, you can at least be guaranteed to eat one per day. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly stopped and said, "Come on, I've arrived at the stone mountain!" From now on, I will open the way, and the old four legs and feet are not dexterous, so they will follow closely behind me. The three of you, each pay attention to one direction, and if there is any abnormality, say it as soon as possible. As he spoke, Dugu Yangming's eyes began to converge, and he took off the nameless black stick from his back, and took out two beads from his belt. With a bead in his left hand and a stick in his right hand, he slowly walked towards a rocky mountain road.
Stone Mountain, as the name suggests, also does not need to be explained. It's just that, in the eyes of the five people, the stone mountain is more like a hill that stretches for thousands of miles. In the wilderness of the mountains, slightly dilapidated flowers and trees, it is difficult to grow. However, as Dugu Yangming said, this place has a wide field of vision, and it is not like a place where monsters haunt.
After the five of them went up the mountain for a short distance, Ling Hu Xuzheng suddenly pointed to a big stone and said, "Strange, this seems to be some secret soil!"
The secret soil is a kind of auxiliary material for refining low-level Ruyi magic weapons, and it is of very little value because it has too many substitutes.
Dugu Yangming said: "Fourth, this kind of first-grade auxiliary spiritual material, even if it is the best color, is not worth a few spirit crystals. However, if you can use the refining weapon, you can take some back. ”
Ling Hu Xu chuckled, jumped to the bottom of the stone, took out a cloth bag and a small shovel, and carefully put away many spiritual materials of excellent color. After putting it away, he said with a smile: "Second brother, it's okay." ”
Dugu Yangming shook his head and said, "Fourth, to be honest, how many spiritual materials did you collect last time you went to practice?"
Ling Hu Xu seemed to be in front of his second brother, he really didn't have much courage, when he heard this question, his face turned red, and he slowly lowered his head, and after a while, he whispered: "It's just a wolf spider grass." ”
Dugu Yangming almost laughed out loud, and sighed: "After you go back, you come to my cave and pick some of my spiritual materials to go back! Judging from your ability to find spiritual materials, after going up to Zhou Mountain, most of them are still eating their old books." If you go on like this, how can you catch up with others?"
The five of them talked and laughed again, and walked towards the top of the mountain. Along the way, I really didn't see any demon beasts, poisonous insects, yin spirits and the like. However, they collected more second-grade and third-grade spiritual materials, of course, all of them belonged to the four people. These spiritual materials, for Dugu Yangming, alchemy or anything is useless, and it is meaningless to exchange spirit crystals, so naturally they will not fight. With his own domineering, he returned the extra share to Linghu Xuzheng.
Before you know it, you have come to the middle of the foothills. On this section of the hillside, strange rocks are dense, and there is no grass or trees. It actually feels like a mass grave.
After the five of them glanced carefully, they didn't feel that there was anything dangerous, but they were also secretly relieved. However, Lu Qiu Leyu's expression was still that he had not concealed the fine Dugu Yangming.
Dugu Yang found out early tomorrow that Lu Qiu Leyu would always unconsciously look at a rocky bush on the left. I secretly observed, but I didn't find any abnormalities, and said in my heart: "This dead fat man, I don't know if it's a natural ability, or an acquired ability, can always find extremely hidden anomalies far away." I couldn't help but think of how the silver-ringed weasel was discovered, and wondered: "This guy is silent, has he found any treasure again, and wants to swallow it alone!"
Taking advantage of Lu Qiu Leyu's inattention, he slapped him on the shoulder, and Lu Qiu Leyu screamed in fright. Lu Qiu Leyu was furious and said loudly: "Senior Brother Yangming, you will scare people to death like this, okay!"
Dugu Yangming smiled and said: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you be so panicked? To be honest, what did you find here? If it's a treasure, you can take it, if it's dangerous, don't hide it, wait until it's out of control, and then talk about it." ”
Lu Qiule scratched his ears and said in a low voice: "There is definitely no danger, it's just that I always feel that there is something uncomfortable in that pile of rocks!"
Dugu Yangming asked, "What is it?" looked at the hesitant fat man, and said: "What do you mean? Don't believe me? I think you haven't suffered any losses since you saw me." ”
Lu Qiu Leyu seemed to be making a great determination, and after being stunned for a long time, he whispered: "It seems to be a dead man!"
