Chapter 22: Rumors of the Great Smoky Mountains

"Good. Lori agreed, but didn't leave directly, looking at him with a little worry in her eyes.

Seeing this, He Yi pinched her pink face, and said with a smile: "I have eaten King Xun's fists, don't be so nervous about this little injury, right?"

"Not this one. ”

Lori's answer surprised him a little. Her eyebrows were worried, and she said softly: "You said that you have demons, be careful." It was scary, I think I remembered...... Ruyi will disappear because of a heart disorder. ”

Wishful?

It was her mother, or rather...... Author.

About Ruyi, Lori knows very little, after all, all she gets is a part of the cultivation memories that Ruyi took the initiative to convey to her, and there are very few private matters.

Back then, the Ruyi Immortal Emperor wanted to reincarnate and rebuild by taking away the fetus in his womb, but he gave up at the last moment, which made He Yi puzzled for a long time. Now Lori says that it is due to a heart disorder, but he can't imagine what kind of heart disorder will make people give up the results and lives they have worked so hard to get.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the sharp and ruthless Fairy Emperor is dead, as long as he is by his side is a simple-minded, clear-minded Lori, it's enough.

"Rest assured, my mind isn't that fragile yet. He Yi spoke calmly, gave her an answer, and then took Xiao Yi, who had just eaten, and flew to the place where the aura was strongest within the range of perception.

The aura of the Hun Kun Realm is not comparable to the Xuanji Star, nor is it comparable to the Mountain and Sea Realm, and it is even less than one-tenth of the Supreme Immortal Realm. The power consumed by his backlash is more than eighty percent, and now his state is not even as good as an ordinary Qingming Realm cultivator, and it will not be overnight if he wants to recover.

Finding a low mountain with a strong aura, He Yi sat down cross-legged, leaving a trace of mental vigilance, and then concentrated on running the mental method, and began to absorb the formless and phaseless aura between heaven and earth.

Invisible and intangible, but real, it is like air, and more important than air, it is the link that maintains the cycle of life and death in the universe, and the strength and weakness of all beings can be changed because of it.

He Yi Qingming realm's cultivation is extremely fast, once he runs his mind method with all his strength to absorb aura. In just a moment, the hundred miles of heaven and earth centered on this small low mountain were all pulled by his breath, and the aura came one after another.

Cultivation has reached this point for him, whether it is the path of the physical body or the Purple Mansion Avenue, the energy contained in the body is already extremely large, and the recovery effect of ordinary pills has been greatly reduced, and only immortal-level pills can be of great help. A high-grade elixir like Xinglu Dan originally cost He Yi a lot of silver, but now with his needs, it can only be used as an assistant.

When he was running the Primordial Chaos Sutra with all his might, an invisible vortex of spiritual power seemed to appear within a radius of a hundred miles, with him as the center, constantly devouring all the spiritual energy within the range, and also pulling the power of the farther away to involve it. This vortex of aura cannot be seen with the naked eye alone, but even a cultivator in the foundation building stage can detect the terrifying momentum in it. Heavenly immortals, in the end, are still very strong.

It is precisely because of the strength of the immortals that it will be more difficult to recover after being seriously injured. He Yi kept absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but after thirty or forty days in a row, after the spiritual veins were almost exhausted by him within a hundred miles, his state was still only about sixty percent of what he was in his heyday.

is the primordial body of Dacheng, coupled with the refining of the essence of the Red Dragon King for more than two hundred years, the power contained in his body has long surpassed that of ordinary monks in the middle of the Yin Yang Realm, even compared with Lori in the late stage of the Yin and Yang Realm, it is not much better.

Seeing that the spiritual vein was about to dry up, He Yi changed places, relying on the assistance of Xinglu Dan for more than a month, until the second spiritual vein was swallowed up almost empty, and his strength could be considered to recover. Although there are still some acne that cannot be eliminated by the backlash of the Dao Technique, it basically does not affect his strength.

Counting it up, it took nearly three months just to recuperate this time, and if it was changed to the Supreme Immortal Realm, it would only take more than ten days, and the gap between the two worlds could be seen.

On this day, the sky was overcast with light rain, and it was already mid-autumn in the north of Tianyunzhou.

He Yi incorporated the last wisp of aura into his body, and after Zhou Tian's circulation, it turned into an undetectable point of qi and blood power, and then exhaled turbid qi and slowly opened his eyes.

The rain was falling, but there was not the slightest water stain on his body, because the breath of the time of meditation repelled the debris of the outside world.

At this time, Xiao Yi was sleeping, He Yi touched its smooth head, and was inexplicably a little envious of this little guy. Carefree, eat and sleep when you want to eat, and you can grow rapidly in the process of eating, sleeping and sleeping. It's also a shame that there is a Ming King around him as a friend, otherwise if he were himself, I am afraid that he would have been bankrupt by Xiao Yi a long time ago.

Lori flashed in, and seeing that his aura had returned to its former strength, she smiled lightly and said to him: "If you take care of an injury, no one else will cultivate, many people want to come to find trouble, and I will settle it for you." ”

Is this a request for merit?

He Yi smiled: "Then thank you." ”

The rapid devouring of spiritual energy would attract the attention of the cultivators of this realm, and He Yi had already expected it. But he knew that whether it was Lori or Xiao Yi, they had the power to be almost invincible in the Hunkun realm, and they wouldn't let anything happen to them no matter what. Between partners, this kind of thing does not need to be explained at all.

Xiaoyu didn't mean to stop for a while, and He Yi didn't bother to go to the temple like a mortal to avoid the rain, directly on the top of the mountain, and asked about Lori's harvest in the past two months.

The latter had already prepared the wording, and when he asked, he told him all the news he had heard recently.

The result was a bit surprising, the Great Array was not an ancient secret realm that had existed since ancient times, and it was said that it had only appeared for a few hundred years. Mortals don't know what a formation is, but they will get lost and trapped in the fog when they walk into that area, so it has a name, called the Great Smoky Mountain.

The mountains and wilderness outside the Great Smoky Mountains were originally remote frontiers far from the city, and there were many villages here, but there were few literate people who understood etiquette. However, after the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains, many people who strayed into it came back with enlightened minds, but they were like opening their eyes and had many lofty ideas. So gradually, some people walked out of the mountains and went to a broader world to sharpen themselves.

Some of those who left never returned, and some returned with their knowledge and skills to the small mountain village where he was born and raised. A few decades later, there was a small town market, a school, a yamen, and traces of cultivators.

The mystery of the Great Smoky Mountains was leaked out by the people who walked out of the mountains, and in the following hundred years, there were constantly strong and weak immortal cultivators rushing to this place, trying to find some benefits from it.

The fortunes of the world are different, and the gains they can get are not exactly the same, and some of them did not come out again after entering the Great Smoky Mountains, and I don't know whether they were killed by their colleagues or left by the mysterious existence inside. Naturally, there are also people who reap large and small benefits in it, such as picking elixirs, capturing spirit beasts, and encountering first-class gold and stones, all of which are just ordinary levels, and some people even realize the mystery of Taoism and practice the true meaning in it, thus breaking through the bottleneck, and the road of cultivation becomes a smooth road.

The benefits are so great that the Great Smoky Mountains are becoming more and more crowded, and the dead are forgotten. Because before real danger, human greed can always triumph over fear.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the Great Smoky Mountains were not a golden cave with countless hidden treasures, and after being continuously excavated by cultivators and mortals for decades, the benefits of the Great Smoky Mountains to people gradually decreased. The elixir and spirit beasts are gone, and the miraculous creation has become history, but there are more crises, and those who are a little worse in mind often go in and come out crazy. Many people went in and never came back.

The benefits are small and there are many dangers, and the visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains have gradually become fewer, although occasionally there will be a few unbelievers who go in to try their luck, but by now, that place has basically become a forbidden place, except for the desperate people, no one wants to go in to find trouble.

However, there are always exceptions.

Lori also told him that in the Woniu Village, which is the closest to the Great Smoky Mountains, there is an old man who often goes to the Great Smoky Mountains to collect medicine. Although there were not as many elixirs in that great array as before, for mortals, there were many, many ordinary herbs. Lao Langzhong has to go into the mountains about once every other month, and when he returns, he will definitely fill the medicine basket. Many people wondered why he could enter and exit safely without being affected by the mysterious power inside, and they wanted to ask, but Lao Langzhong himself didn't know. So many people speculated that maybe because Lao Langzhong was blind, couldn't see the fog, was kind-hearted, and had no desires, so the mysterious power would let him go.

Lori visited the old man, but she didn't feel anything unusual from him, she even secretly observed the old man for two days, but still found nothing.

When He Yi heard this, his understanding of the misty array not only did not deepen, but became even more confused.

Could such a strange place really appear out of thin air? For hundreds of years, no one has snooped into its true secrets?

Maybe there is something special hidden in that blind old man who can't be recognized by others!

He Yi swept his mind and soon found the Woniu Village that Lori said. In that simple and harmonious small mountain village, almost every household lives in wooden huts and thatched huts, and the same is true of Lao Langzhong's small medical hall.

As far as the mind came, all the herbal utensils in the medical hall, including the old man who was pounding medicine, were all clearly seen by him. And the special thing he was looking for was not seen by him.

It's just an intuition from his heart, but it reminds him that if he goes to meet the old man, maybe he will gain something.

"Are you going to find him?" Lori asked knowingly, knowing what he was thinking.

He Yi nodded, and she said again: "He is very ordinary, and it is useless to see him." We might as well follow him and go in and have a look. ”

He Yi didn't object, just looked up at the cloudy sky, and said, "It's raining, and I can't collect medicine." ”

"Just let it go. ”
