Chapter 12 Falling Cloud Mountain Peak to Treasure Hunting
Autumn is going to winter, and in the blink of an eye, another year is about to pass, and this is already the ninth month after Xie An became an official disciple of the Luoyun Sect, that is, the fifth month after he exterminated the bandits of the Bishui Sect. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past five months, he has cultivated more diligently, and in Xue Ming's words, "It's crazy!
Indeed, Xie An's current state of cultivation would be sighed by anyone who saw it, and that he was a madman. He only sleeps for three hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on cultivation except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, and he is not far from being crazy.
Since seeing that mysterious black shadow, the flame of revenge that had been a little dimmed in Xie An's heart suddenly became vigorous, and this flame scorched Xie An so much that he couldn't calm down, making him more eager to seek more powerful power, so he cultivated even more desperately, and got carried away!
However, in addition to his desperate cultivation, he also took some time to go to the auxiliary book area of the Library Pavilion to take a look, after all, knowledge is also power, Xie An's impression of the cultivation realm is now only limited to cultivation, and he didn't even know what the spirit stone was before, which also made him have to put learning the common sense of the cultivation realm on the agenda.
I didn't know if I didn't read it, but after reading it, I realized that the books in this area that I had ignored before were all interesting.
In addition to the news about the spirit stone, the books here also record a lot of legends or history related to the cultivation realm on this continent.
After reading these books, Xie An realized that there were so many magical places on the vast continent where he lived.
Although the Luoyun Sect where Xie An is located is the undisputed overlord within a radius of a hundred miles, it is just a small place in the Western Xuan Realm.
In the Western Xuan Domain, the Three Mountains Sect, the Taiqing Sect, and the Northern Tai Gate are respected, while the other large and small sects in the Western Xuan Domain are all attached to these three behemoth-like sects, just like the Bishui Sect is attached to the Luoyun Sect. And the Luoyun Sect is located on the edge of the Taiqing Sect, not far from the territory of the Northern Gate of Thailand.
To the east of the Xixuan realm is a vast desert, and on the other side of the desert, it is the most extensive eastern wilderness land on this continent, of course, this is the name of this place by human beings, no one knows what the owner there calls this territory, because it is the territory of demon beasts, low as the fierce beasts under the spiritual underground, noble as the intelligent ancient demon king, who has occupied the Eastern Wilderness for generations, and does not allow humans to set foot in it.
And to the north of the Xixuan realm is the Beiming realm, which is not weaker than the Xixuan realm in the slightest, there is no immortal cultivation sect here, and there are huge empires that respect immortal cultivators, and the seven empires of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin respectively occupy seven areas of the Beiming realm.
And in the midst of the competition between these empires, the various professions in the Beiming field have become unprecedentedly prosperous. There are puppeteers who are proficient in puppetry, there are alchemists who specialize in medicine and are proficient in pill refining, and there are alchemists who are proficient in spirit weapon creation......
It can be said that the Beiming Realm gathers the best puppet masters, alchemists, refiners, and other masters of all walks of life on this continent.
Moreover, the Beiming Domain is close to the Beihai, and on the other side of the Beihai, which seems to be endless, there is a mysterious continent, where people do not cultivate truth, but learn magic. And I don't know how many years ago, there were magicians who practiced magic who crossed the vast Beihai Sea and came to the Beiming realm, spreading some things that were incomparably new to this continent, and also attracting many monks to cross the sea. But this wave of turmoil only lasted for a short time before it gradually subsided, and now, there have been many years since no monks have gone to sea again, and no magicians have come, but those magicians who crossed the sea still left many descendants in the coastal areas of the Beiming realm who were united with the local monks, proving their arrival.
Seeing this kind of rumor or history, Xie An has the feeling that he has traveled the whole world while sitting in the library, and it also makes him fascinated by the books in this area, and he comes here to read whenever he has free time.
......
In the past five months, Xie An has gone on several more missions.
Every mission is a good opportunity for life and death training, and after every experience of life and death, Xie An will grow a lot, not only in cultivation and combat, but also in his heart.
After many life-and-death battles, Xie An's current serpentine sword technique has been able to exert sixty percent of its power, if that black shadow comes to him again now, and dares to take another big killing move from him, then Xie An believes that it will definitely make that guy end up miserable. Moreover, now Xie An is no longer the kind of kid who kills a thief and trembles, now he can slash the enemy without changing his face.
Although there has been growth, to Xie An's slight disappointment, he has not encountered any black-robed people called Dharma protectors when he exterminated the bandits these few times.
In the end, he had to reluctantly admit that the clues related to the enemy that he had just discovered had been broken again.
However, this is not entirely a bad thing for Xie An, at least the mysterious black shadow he encountered last time is definitely not something he can deal with now, if it wasn't for Kong Yan'er and Qingshan Zhenren arriving in time, maybe he and Liu Miao wouldn't be alive now.
Although there was disappointment, Xie An still had some gains other than cultivation, that is, spirit stones.
Due to his excellent performance in the first mission, the Zongmen Award gave him three low-level spirit stones, and only some difficult tasks were his share, which also allowed him to accumulate a lot of spirit stones in his hands, and even a medium-level spirit stone, which can be regarded as a little rich.
......
On that day, the snow was falling, and there was no one on the martial arts field except for Xie An, who was seriously practicing swordsmanship.
A figure in the distance waved his hand and ran over, Xie An put away his sword and stood, looking at the figure running towards him.
"Haha, Senior Brother Xie, you are really a cultivator, I'm afraid there are not many people in the whole sect who can catch up with your cultivation intensity. ”
The person who came was Liu Miao, who had been rescued twice by Xie An on a mission, and saw Liu Miao running to Xie An, patting Xie An on the shoulder very familiarly and praising him.
Xie An smiled and said, "Is there anything Senior Brother Liu looking for me?"
Liu Miao smiled and said, "Good thing, good thing, good thing, let's go for a walk, let's talk about it when we get to the place." ”
After speaking, Liu Miao unceremoniously pulled Xie An and left, and finally the two came to the only restaurant in the Luoyun Sect.
This Luoyun Sect is located halfway up the Luoyun Mountain, and only the disciples of the sect will live here. However, as long as people have capital, they will try their best to enjoy it, so although Luoyun Sect has a canteen, there are still people who have set up a restaurant, specializing in providing some high-end food and wine than the canteen, but the price is also very expensive, and it is actually paid with spirit stones.
Xie An also knew about the existence of this restaurant before, but he had neither capital nor thought of enjoying his appetite before, so he had never been to this restaurant, and he didn't know the rules here. Now when I enter the door, one of the most conspicuous places is printed with a few large ink-colored characters, "Only collect spirit stones".
"When did Senior Brother Liu become so generous that he actually took the spirit stone casually for a treat?" Xie An followed Liu Miao into the restaurant, patted the snowflakes on his body, and quipped.
Liu Miao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I don't have as many spirit stones as you as junior brother, where can I afford it." This time, there is someone else who is the east, and you will find out later. ”
After speaking, Liu Miao took the lead in going up the stairs, and after Xie An glanced at the restaurant, he also followed.
In a private room on the second floor, there were already a few people sitting there waiting, and when Liu Miao entered, a young man sitting at the table nodded at Liu Miao.
This young man has clear eyebrows and a melon seed face, if he hadn't seen the Adam's apple, Xie An would have regarded this young man as a woman. This young man sat on the main seat, and several people around him also looked like a young man, it seems that this party was organized by this young man, and I don't know what the origin of this young man is.
Just as Xie An looked at the young man in charge, a person beside the young man spoke, his voice sharp and piercing.
"Yo, I said Liu Miao, why did you bring this sect's No. 1 coward? Can you participate in this operation? Do you really think that going down the mountain and killing a few little thieves will be amazing?"
Xie Anxun followed the prestige, this is a guy with a melon seed face, a head, a round chin, a pair of triangular eyes, it looks as uncoordinated as it is, sitting next to the handsome young man headed by him, the two are simply two representatives of beauty and ugliness.
Xie An didn't speak, this time it was Liu Miao who brought him here, naturally Liu Miao came out, and Xie An has always adhered to a low-key style, so although this inverted melon seed face is ugly, Xie An still regarded it as a fart and didn't take it to heart at all.
Sure enough, Liu Miao was not happy, pointed to the nose of the face of the inverted melon seeds, and said, "I warn you, Jiang Yuntao, clean my mouth for me." Do you dare to say that you have killed more bandits than Senior Brother Xie in the past year? Do you dare to say that you have made more contributions to the sect than Senior Brother Xie? You guy, who plays soy sauce every time, also have the face to mock Senior Brother Xie here?"
That Jiang Yuntao was dumbfounded by Liu Miao's words, and his face turned red.
At this time, the young man who was the leader stood up and said, "All the people who came this time are friends, and Senior Brother Xie is indeed the best among the new disciples, so of course there is no problem in participating in this operation." You may be seated. ”
With that, the young man stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Xie An and the others found a place to sit down, and did not pay attention to the others.
After a while, two more people came in, a young man who was also in the first door seemed to be familiar with the young man on the main seat, and the young man who came in later was a little dazed like Xie An, and it seemed that he was also pulled over by the young man in front.
Xie An looked at the young man who came in later, and couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this Tong Da who he hasn't seen for a long time, he hasn't seen him for a few months, Tong Da looks stronger than before, and the muscles all over his body are bulging with his clothes, and as soon as he walks in, the whole room becomes a little depressed.
Tong Da looked around, and when he saw Xie An, he was obviously stunned, obviously a little surprised to meet Xie An here.
The two nodded, and Tong Da walked straight to the chair next to Xie An and did it.
The young man on the main throne looked around, nodded, and then spoke: "The people gathered here today are all the elite of the current disciples of our Luoyun Sect, and I, Huang Tianming, have invited everyone here to conspire with you. ”
Looking around at the room again, making sure that everyone was listening intently, Huang Tianming continued: "I don't know if you have heard of the legend of this Luoyun Mountain. ”
Everyone in the house looked at each other when they heard this, and Xie An was also a little inexplicable, what other legends did this Luoyun Mountain have?
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Huang Tianming was a little proud, and said: "Dissatisfied with everyone, my father is Elder Huang of the Luoyun Sect, and I also grew up in this Luoyun Mountain, so I know a little about the legend of this Luoyun Mountain." ”
Xie An and the others were also interested when they heard this, and waited more attentively for Huang Tianming's next words.
Huang Tianming was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he didn't pause, and then said: "The reason why this Luoyun Mountain has become Luoyun Mountain is because this mountain is towering into the clouds, as if it fell from the clouds, so it is called Luoyun Mountain." People often think that this is just an exaggeration by the locals, but they don't know that it is true. ”
After hearing this, everyone was shocked, the mountain that fell from the clouds? Could it be that this Luoyun Mountain is the legendary fairy mountain?
"Didn't you notice that the clouds on the top of this Falling Cloud Mountain had never disappeared? Don't you wonder why the Falling Cloud Sect only built the sect halfway up the mountainside and forbade the disciples of the sect to go up to the top of the mountain?"
When everyone heard this, they were all moved, they didn't think about these problems, but after a long time, they began to get used to it, and they didn't pay attention to it anymore, and today they were mentioned by this Huang Tianming, and they were all curiously waiting for his next words.
"This mountain top has a treasure of the Immortal Family!"
Huang Tianming's words immediately made the house explode.
The meaning of the words "Immortal Treasure" to a cultivator is no different from the meaning of a rare treasure to Scrooge. As soon as Huang Tianming's words came out, many people's minds were immediately stunned, and many people chose to believe it.
And although Xie An was also interested in the treasures of the Immortal Family, he was not as fanatical as others, he knew that Huang Tianming spent a lot of money to invite them to eat in this restaurant, definitely not just to tell everyone this secret, there must be a later story in this matter.
Sure enough, after everyone was quiet, Huang Tianming said: "I invite you to come today, just to share this secret with you, let's go up to the top of the mountain together to open the treasure of the immortal family." ”
The people who can come here are also people who have gone through many trials of life and death, and of course they are not stupid, where would they believe that Huang Tianming is just to share this immortal treasure with them. After the previous excitement, the quiet person began to think calmly.
"The sect strictly prohibits disciples from going up to the top of the mountain, and if the treasure is easy to obtain, the Luoyun Sect has been established for many years, wouldn't it have been found a long time ago, where is our share. "Someone with a nimble mind thought of the key and brought it up.
Huang Tianming was calm, as if he had known that someone would ask, and replied calmly: "That's a good question." It is indeed a bit dangerous on the top of this mountain, and the sect prohibits the disciples of the sect from going up the mountain. However, this is a treasure of the immortal family, if it is created, it is not impossible to soar into the sky on the road of cultivation from now on, even if it is not created, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find a treasure of the immortal family. Take a small risk, but you can get a huge benefit, you decide. ”
Huang Tianming's words made everyone's hearts a little moved, but there were still some people who hesitated, and questioned: "I'm afraid that there is more than a little danger on this mountain, the Luoyun Sect has been established for so long, and there has never been a rumor that someone has obtained any immortal treasure and soared to the sky." No one has ever succeeded in doing so, and we are so rash to go forward, aren't we sent to death!"
Huang Tianming said: "Please rest assured that I have been prepared for this matter." Although there are many insects and beasts near the top of the mountain, it is very dangerous, but I stumbled upon a map of the safe route to the top of the mountain, although it is a little broken, but it should not be much different. Moreover, it is winter, and many insects and beasts are unbearable to the cold and enter a state of hibernation, which is relatively safe. If someone still thinks it's dangerous, then please take care of yourself, and I won't force someone to stay!"
Speaking of this, Huang Tianming didn't intend to continue, just sat there and picked up his glass and tasted the wine, as if today's matter had nothing to do with him.
After a moment of whispering in the room, there was some hesitation in the hearts of some people, but no one actually left.
Xie An was also a little hesitant, for Huang Tianming's invitation, he didn't believe that such a person who had no friendship would give him a big gift for no reason. But the treasure on the top of this mountain also made him extremely excited, just recently, he had cultivated to the peak of the third layer of condensation, but he was never able to break through in the slightest.
The third to fourth layers of condensation are a hurdle, and if you step past it, you will be able to open the sky, but there are many people who have been stuck in the third layer for a lifetime. He didn't want to be stuck on the third layer, but he couldn't find any other way, so he was also a little moved by the treasure on the top of Luoyun Mountain.
The most important thing was that he felt like he should go to the top of the mountain, as if something was waiting for him there.
"What the hell could it be?" Xie An's gaze seemed to pass through the roof of the restaurant and look in the direction of the top of the mountain.
