Lieyang Peak, about 100 zhang high, is one of the six peaks of Sanyang Sect, there are two halls on it, echoing each other from afar.

The left is called the refining hall, and the right is called the pill pavilion.

The people in charge of the Refining Instrument Hall and the Pill Pavilion were Elder Feng Yizhi and Elder Liu Xiangshan, both of whom were foundation building monks of the Sanyang Sect, although they were only in the early stages of cultivation, but their status was unique and no one underestimated them.

Except for refining weapons and alchemy, the two of them rarely pay attention to the affairs of the sect, and they are typical obsessions, regardless of cultivation.

Nangong Wuji, Cheng Yunfan, and Lu Zhengyi all came to the Lieyang Peak Refining Hall, which really surprised Elder Feng, and heard that Nangong Wuji was going to refine a flute called Lian Snake Flower.

Elder Feng's expression became cautious, he pondered for a long time, and said: "Since it is entrusted by Nangong's nephew, I should respond to the old way, but I have only heard of this method of refining snake flowers, but I have never refined it, so it will take more time and be tested in detail,"

After hearing this, Nangong Wuji nodded and said, "The three of us are just going to go out to collect some materials, and Uncle Feng doesn't need to worry about time." ”

"Oh, it seems that this refining snake flower should be the first step, and there is more to come?" Elder Feng is worthy of being immersed in the way of refining weapons for a long time, and he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string songs.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, when my nephew is lucky enough to collect all the materials, I have to bother my uncle. Nangong Wuji made a gesture of please.

"Got it, go ahead. Elder Feng's face was cautious, as if he remembered something, "Are you going to Taiyi Mountain?"

When the three of them heard this, they all had different faces.

This news was not revealed to Elder Feng, how did he know?

Cheng Yunfan was thoughtful, and asked, "Uncle Feng has an explanation?"

"You kid, you're clever. Elder Feng looked at Cheng Yunfan with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "No, here is a map of the Qinling Mountains that I got in my early years, and it is also detailed, so I will give it to you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a ball of leather drawing scrolls from his arms, and then said: "It's not for nothing, help me bring sample materials when I come back, that thing is a celebrity marble, it is said that only the Pure Yang Sword Sect has it, if you get it back, this kid will not receive anything to refine later, and I will add auxiliary materials, otherwise"

When Elder Feng said this, he snorted and smiled: "Double the money, and the accessories are self-raised." ”

The three of them looked at each other, but saw that Elder Feng had already gotten up, with the intention of sending off guests.

When he went down the mountain, Cheng Yunfan heard Elder Feng muttering slightly because of his strong divine sense: "Lian Snake Flower, the refining thing handed down by the Nine Shadows Heavenly Palace back then, has not appeared for many years, and few people know about it." ”

"This kid, is he really going to refine the legendary Ice God Flute?"

Then he shook his head and said no more.

Now that the matter of practicing the snake flower has been explained clearly, the three of them each returned to the cave and discussed leaving the next day.

Seeing Nangong Wuji take the lead and go away.

Lu Zhengyi followed Cheng Yunfan and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, senior brother Nangong, why do you always look cold, is there something on your mind?"

"He?" Cheng Yunfan said, nodding his head, "Here, he has been hit hard, and he can't remember a lot of things from the past?"

"Huh?" Lu Zhengyi was taken aback, looked at Cheng Yunfan, and said thoughtfully, "Then he can still be alive and kicking, and his cultivation is so good, it's really rare, you seem to be very familiar with him?"

"Well, he and I used to know each other. Cheng Yunfan didn't plan to hide it, "I knew him in Lingnan, but he couldn't remember it." ”

"Is it also your comrade-in-arms?" Lu Zhengyi asked in surprise.

"No!" Cheng Yunfan said, "You go back and prepare, and leave a message with Uncle Lin, just say that you will go to Taiyi Mountain to practice, not to mention collecting materials for Senior Brother Nangong." ”

"I understand this!" Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Then I'll leave first." ”

Seeing Lu Zhengyi leaving, Cheng Yunfan was still thinking about Elder Feng's words, as well as the words of Jin Yan from the previous time.

I always feel that there are too many stories in it, but I can't figure it out, and I feel that it is not so simple to go out to collect those materials, and it will take a lot of effort not to mention, maybe there will be a fight.

A delicate red cloud boat, flying in the air without hurrying or slow.

Three young Taoists of the same age, wearing blue robes, were chatting and laughing in the boat.

It was Cheng Yunfan, Nangong Wuji, and Lu Zhengyi who went to Taiyi Mountain to train.

Before Cheng Yunfan left, he didn't mention it to others except for a little mention of the place of this trip to Donald.

Nangong Wuji still sat at the front of the flying boat with a cold face, rarely spoke, and most of the time he spoke only when he was in response. In just three days, a few people left the boundary of Nanchu, crossed the Chu River, and entered another lush mountainous area.

The following mountainous area is in the hinterland of Xuanyuan Continent, it is also quite famous, called Ba Mountain, sparsely populated, its land is desolate, and there are poems that say good:

"Bashan Chushui is desolate, and he gave up his life in twenty-three years. ”

It is said that this place is deserted, and ordinary people live to the age of twenty-three even if they earn it, although the words are exaggerated, but it can also be seen that this place is dangerous. Moreover, here, only the weak country of Pakistan is sandwiched between Southern Chu and Northern Qin, trying to survive in the cracks. Strange to say, although the country is small, poor and weak, it has never been destroyed for thousands of years.

It seems that this is the buffer and barrier between the two countries deliberately acted by Southern Chu and Northern Qin.

Two days later, a cloud boat flew out of the Xuantian Sect of Xuantian Mountain and hurried towards the northwest. There were only two women on the boat, one woman was a little older, at the peak of the ninth layer of qi training, and her expression was calm, and the other woman was twenty-eight years old, worthy of the ninth layer of qi training, and her expression was anxious.

He couldn't stop muttering: "It's been a few days, and the news has come that a bunch of waste." I don't know if I can catch up. ”

Seeing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, but she covered it up again, and began to comfort the anxious woman.

"Senior Brother Nangong, it seems that in three or two days, you will be able to get out of this Bashan and reach the boundary of the Qinling Mountains. Cheng Yunfan spoke to Nangong Wuji.

Nangong Wuji nodded without looking back, and said, "It's a pity that the speed of this cloud boat is still a little slower." ”

"Senior brother, don't be dissatisfied, it's more than twice as fast as the Yunzhou I am waiting for. Lu Zhengyi said, "After all, it is rare for us to go down the mountain to go far away, so why rush to the road?"

"That's what Senior Brother Zhengyi said. Cheng Yunfan answered, "It's better to wait until we arrive at Qinyang City in Northern Qin, hire a boat, and go up the Danshui River, or we can go to Zhongfang City in Naqin." ”

"This," Nangong Wuji said, "It's okay for us to finish our business early, and then enjoy the beautiful scenery." ”

He was worried, he wanted to finish his work as soon as possible, thinking of the cold Tianhe who had not yet fallen, and thinking that he was bound to go through the Nine Shadows Heavenly Palace again, so he didn't want to delay time.

"That's okay, just listen to Senior Brother Wuji's arrangement, let's go directly to Qinzhongfang City, and if we make a point, we can hire a local guide and go to the Ice Mist Peak. Stopping Lu Zhengyi, who didn't know the inside story, Cheng Yunfan opened his mouth.

Now in terms of the strength of the three of them, Cheng Yunfan is naturally the first, and Lu Zhengyi is at the bottom, but his thunder attribute technique is huge, and Cheng Yunfan may not be able to resist it if he really casts the Zixiao Divine Thunder Sword Technique. It seems that there is still a difference between the thunder spirit root and the no thunder spirit root.

For the same exercises, there is still a big difference in power.

The three of them talked and chatted all the way, and gradually Lu Zhengyi and Nangong Wuji became familiar with each other, they were much less restrained, and the two had a lot of conversations.

After another four or five days, I saw a huge market exposed in a mountain col.

Everyone is happy, this Qin Zhongfang City, worthy of the Dafang City of Northern Qin, the scale is several times larger than Xuantianfang City, from a distance it looks like the capital of the human emperor, hidden in a huge canyon, because of the protection and concealment of the formation, ordinary people do not want to see the clues.

Slowing down the speed of the cloud boat, it landed on a barren slope.

The three of them each changed into a set of clothes, and took off the clothes in the Sanyang Sect, Cheng Yunfan was naturally still dressed as a wandering Taoist, and Nangong Wuji and Lu Zhengyi were all dressed as swordsmen.

However, Nangong Wuji is a little chivalrous, and Lu Zhengyi has the temperament of a general.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and went straight to Qinzhongfang City, and after each of them paid five spirit stones to enter the city, they received the token and entered the city.

Entering Defang City, the three of them were shocked by the rows of shops in front of them and the flow of people coming and going, so prosperous, presumably Xuantianfang City will only be like this at the monthly trading conference.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old, dark and thin young man stepped forward and bent down to salute: "A few immortal masters are coming to Qinzhongfang City for the first time?"

"How do you know that I'm here for the first time?" The three of them are together, Nangong Wuji often doesn't open his mouth until he has to do so, and Lu Zhengyi has a short practice day, so he is not suitable to speak, so everything is naturally Cheng Yunfan's head.

"The kid grew up in Qinzhongfang City, and he was a guide here every day, and he saw that several immortal masters were very face-to-face, so he asked suddenly, please don't blame the immortal masters. The thin black boy spoke very smoothly.

"Guide?" Cheng Yunfan hesitated, and seemed to quickly understand what was going on, "How to charge?"

The two beside him were stunned and didn't react yet.

Seeing this, the black and thin young man was also surprised by the clever mind of the immortal master in front of him, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and said more and more respectfully: "The immortal master laughed, how dare he charge, just want to be able to serve the immortal masters, and when the time comes, just reward a few spirit stones." ”

"It's easy to say!" Cheng Yunfan heard this, and had already determined that this was the broker and tour guide, and said lightly while walking, "You are satisfied with the service, why not give more rewards, you can take us to a place where we can eat and stay, and then talk about this Qinzhongfang City." ”

"Immortal Master, the Xianlai Inn on South Street is both a restaurant and an inn, which is very convenient and affordable, and the immortal masters like it there. The thin black man said and began to lead the way.

On the way, I talked about the situation in Qinzhongfang City again.

It turned out that this Qinzhongfang City was jointly opened by the Pure Yang Sword Sect and its surrounding more than a dozen small and medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families, with Jindan Great Perfection monks taking turns to sit in the town, and there were many streets, but the main ones were the four main streets in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

When Cheng Yunfan was listening, he saw two swordsmen with different styles coming towards him, dressed in black, with an awe-inspiring momentum.

Seeing that his expression was different, the thin black young man saw the swordsman walking away, so he lowered his voice and said, "These estimates are the Oriental Demon Sword." ”

"Oriental Demon Sword?" Not only Cheng Yunfan, but even Lu Zhengyi and Nangong Wuji couldn't help but ask in surprise, "This place is far away from the southwest, how can there be a demon cultivator?"
