Chapter 517 Five Poison Mountain
Yuquanfang City.
At this moment, walking on the bustling street, Lin Tianming looked around.
After some observation, he had to sigh.
Yuquanfang City is indeed a well-known city. Not to mention the flow of people, the proportion of foundation-building monks alone is obviously much higher than some medium-sized cities he has been to.
After all, with his eighth-level cultivation level, if it were placed in Qianchuanfang City, he would definitely be among the people with the highest cultivation level.
Under normal circumstances, except for people from the Jindan force, it is almost difficult to see many monks in the late stage of foundation building in Qianchuanfang City.
But in Yuquanfang City, at a glance, he discovered seven or eight monks in the late stage of foundation building, including one monk who was on the ninth floor of foundation building.
As a result, his current exposed cultivation level has not attracted much attention among this crowd. It seems that those monks in the Qi Refining Stage are no longer surprised by monks like him.
Lin Tianming felt good about this. After all, when he was in the foundation building period, he always attracted a lot of attention once he appeared in public in Qianchuanfang City.
Among those people, there were admirers, some acquaintances, and even some people with impure intentions.
As a casual cultivator walking around the world now, his cultivation level is neither high nor low. No one knows his origin at all.
This status allows him to act without too many scruples, giving him a fresh feeling.
Maybe this is the feeling of being carefree and free!
Lin Tianming thought to himself, and even his mood couldn't help but feel much better.
After he wandered for a while, Lin Tianming followed the flow of people to a large-scale shop area.
Looking around, although there are not as many shops here as there are outside, each shop is large in size and decorated very grandly, and there is an endless stream of monks coming in and out.
Obviously, the shops here are all time-honored and have been established for a long time, and the forces behind them are certainly not weak.
Among them, Lin Tianming also discovered some familiar store names, such as Tianlong Pavilion opened by the Tang family in Qingzhou, which also has a store here.
With curiosity, Lin Tianming started to wander around from the nearest room.
In less than half a day, Lin Tianming had visited more than ten shops and saw a variety of treasures, covering almost all the common treasures that could be used by Golden Core cultivators and below.
He naturally has no interest in these things.
However, occasionally when he encounters some novel things, he will buy them, including some first- and second-level elixir recipes and some specialties of Huangyang Country.
But he still found nothing about the high-level elixirs or the news about dried jade grass.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming was mentally prepared. After all, Qianyu Pill is a third-level pill formula and an ancient pill formula. It has not been heard of in Wei for a long time.
As its main medicine, dried jade grass is also a third-level treasure. It is completely rare, and it is not impossible that it has even become completely extinct.
And with this kind of search experience, he has been to several cities of different sizes in the past few months. During this period, he has already inquired about some information, but in the end, there was no news.
He knew very well that it would be strange if he could find it so easily just because he had been searching for it for a while.
In this way, Lin Tianming was not discouraged. Anyway, he stayed in Huangyang Kingdom this time with a trying mentality.
It would be best if you can find dried jade grass or find a substitute. If you can't find it, you can only think of other ways.
At this time, Lin Tianming was quite indifferent. When he raised his head and looked at Tianlong Pavilion in front of him, he immediately walked inside.
As soon as he entered the door, a monk in the late stage of Qi refining immediately came forward.
This monk was quite clever and had a very respectful attitude. He trotted over to receive him immediately.
"Junior Sun Hao, welcome to our store, senior!"
Lin Tianming waved his hand, and then asked directly: "Is the owner of this store here?"
After hearing this, Sun Hao thought that Lin Tianming must be an old acquaintance of the principal, so he did not dare to delay, lest he would not receive a good reception and lose this good job.
"Since the senior is visiting the principal, you might as well follow the junior to the reception room and wait for a while. The junior will go and inform you immediately."
Sun Hao replied respectfully, and then took Lin Tianming walked directly to the second floor and came to a reception room.
After pouring the spiritual tea, Sun Haobian excused himself and left.
Soon, a middle-aged monk walked into the reception room.
The visitor was wearing a yellow Taoist robe, and the embroidery on the chest was the symbol of the Tang family in Qingzhou, exactly the same as Tang Xiuyuan of Tianlong Pavilion in Qianchuanfang City.
Obviously, this man is also a descendant of the Tang family. His cultivation level is the same as that of Tang Xiuyuan, and he is also in the foundation-building Dzogchen realm.
However, this person can be stationed in the popular Yuquanfang City, and his status in the Tang family of Nuo University may be higher than that of Tang Xiuyuan.
After all, at the level of the Tang family, there are at least tens of thousands of clan members.
For such a large clan of ten thousand people, the internal rules must be very strict, and the competition among ordinary clan members is also fierce.
The Qi refining stage is okay, but as long as you have some talent and practice a little harder, it's not too difficult to achieve in the foundation building stage.
But at the late stage of foundation building, if you want to take a big step forward and enter the golden elixir stage, even the descendants of the Qingzhou Tang family are not as easy as they imagined.
You must know that the Golden Elixir Period can be said to be a watershed in the entire Qingzhou.
As for the entire Wei State, even the Huangyang State, which has stronger overall strength, the number of Golden Elixir monks is extremely limited.
Under such circumstances, as long as you enter the golden elixir stage, you can be regarded as entering the ranks of high-level monks.
At this level, not to mention the entire Qingzhou, at least in an ordinary country, it is already possible to run rampant.
As for Tang Xiuyuan and the person in front of him, in order to obtain limited pill-forming resources from within the Tang family, they joined the business alliance under the family, and it was a safe way to take charge of the store.
Because managing a store is relatively easy, at least it is much safer than treasure hunting experience, but it is more time consuming.
However, for those who are less talented than those who are more talented than those who are inferior, being able to get opportunities more securely is better than licking blood on the edge of a knife.
In this case, the status of the person in front of him should be within the scope of his guess.
However, even so, the Tang family's reputation is not small. Even if he is an ordinary Foundation Establishment clan member, the average Golden Core cultivator is not willing to provoke him.
Although Lin Tianming is already in the golden elixir stage and his strength far exceeds that of monks of the same level, he is currently deliberately hiding his whereabouts, and the cultivation he reveals is only the eighth level of foundation building.
In this way, Lin Tianming was also quite polite. He stood up immediately and greeted the Tang monk.
"My dear, Chen Tian, I have met fellow Taoist Tang!"
"Haha...fellow Taoist Chen, I am glad to meet you."
"I am Tang Changxin, the head of Tianlong Pavilion. I wonder what kind of treasures my friend is asking for?"
Tang Changxin politely returned the greeting and then asked Lin Tianming's purpose.
Lin Tianming smiled indifferently and did not immediately express his intentions. Instead, he chatted with Tang Changxin.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, I once had a chance encounter with Taoist friend Tang Xiuyuan. I wonder if you have ever known each other?"
"Oh?" "It turns out that we are old friends from our clan uncles, so we are really Destined! ”
Tang Changxin said with a smile, his tone and attitude softened a lot, at least not as serious as at the beginning.
Lin Tianming heard some information from Tang Changxin's words, indicating that Tang Xiuyuan knew him well and was one level older than him.
Speaking of which, such a generation gap is perfectly normal in a family like the Tang family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
After all, those big families have many clansmen, and the ranking of seniority is also different. There are even many clansmen who are the same age, but are several generations higher.
Let's just say that currently, the youngest member of the Lin family, the Xingzi generation, is only a few years older than Lin Tianming, who is the Tianzi generation.
And such things are too common in the world of immortality.
Now seeing Tang Changxin say this, Lin Tianming was not surprised at all.
At this point, Lin Tianming chuckled and said: "I had an encounter with fellow Taoist Xiuyuan in the early years, but I haven't seen him in the past twenty years or so."
"Alas... I wonder how fellow Taoist Xiu Yuan has been doing recently? Have you ever entered the golden elixir avenue?”
Lin Tianming said with a serious face, his words full of concern.
Tang Changxin also replied politely: "Uncle Clan has been in Qianchuanfang City in Wei State in recent years. If you, Daoyou Chen, have a home all over the world, you might as well go and travel."
" Hmm...these two places are not too far away, organically I will definitely go next time!"
After saying this, Lin Tianming changed the subject and asked: "Fellow Taoist Tang, do you have any pills for body refinement monks in your pavilion?"
"Or Danfang?"
After hearing this, Tang Changxin thought for a moment and then replied.
"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Chen, there are no second-level elixirs and prescriptions, but there are first-level elixirs, but with my current cultivation level, I'm afraid I won't be able to use them."
Listen Lin Tianming seemed to have expected what Tang Changxin said.
After all, he also knows that high-level conjoined elixir recipes are not common, and even if many forces have them, they will not easily come up with them.
Although Tianlong Pavilion has many treasures and a strong background, such things are not easily sold.
Lin Tianming had no choice but to give up, but due to the shortcomings in his cultivation, he couldn't help but ask one more question.
"In that case, has Taoist friend Tang ever heard of the dried jade grass there?"
"Dried jade grass?
Tang Changxin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.< br>
Immediately afterwards, Tang Changxin continued: "Fellow Daoist Lin, this dried jade grass is of high quality and has disappeared from the world of immortality for a long time. ”
"I've heard of this thing before, but I haven't heard of anyone getting it in so many years."
"But many years ago, I heard a rumor, and I don't know if it's true."
“Oh?”
Lin Tianming was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was some progress, and he was overjoyed.
Finally calmed down a bit, Lin Tianming immediately raised his hands and said: "Even though Fellow Taoist Tang came here, I will never let Brother Tang work in vain."
"Haha..."
Tang Changxin smiled, and then said slowly: "It is said that traces of dried jade grass appeared in Wudu Mountain hundreds of years ago, and many monks also went to look for it."< br>
“But in the end, nothing was gained, and the monks who entered together also suffered heavy losses. Heavy."
"Speaking of which, I don't know whether this news is true or not, and it's hard to tell whether there are any traces of dried jade grass in Wudu Mountain."
I heard it. At this, Lin Tianming nodded, then took out a thousand low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Tang Changxin.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Tang, for informing me that this spiritual stone should be regarded as my wish, and I hope fellow Taoist Tang will accept it!"
"You are too polite, Taoist Chen."
Tang Changxin waved his hand and refused, "This rumor is too much. It has been a long time, and it has not been confirmed, so just think of it as a thought."
Seeing this, Lin Tianming did not force it, but he still bought a few good treasures, all thanks to Tang Changxin. information.
Farewell to Tang Changxin, Lin Tianming left Tianlong Pavilion and walked aimlessly on the street.
At this time, he was thinking about whether the rumors Tang Changxin said were possible.
After a long time, Lin Tianming made the decision to stay in Yuquanfang City for a few days before continuing to look for news about dried jade grass or other prescriptions.
If you really can’t find it, consider going to Wudu Mountain and try to find traces of dried jade grass.
But before he goes, he still has to make thorough preparations.
Because Wudu Mountain is known as the most dangerous place in Huangyang Kingdom, its appearance is said to date back hundreds of thousands of years.
It wasn't until more than 100,000 years ago when human monks opened up territory in Jingzhou that the Wudu Mountains on the edge were discovered.
At the beginning, demon beasts were rampant in Wudu Mountain, and poisonous insects were everywhere. These parasitic demon beasts were so powerful that even Yuanying monks did not dare to enter easily.
Although it is dangerous inside, there are many rare treasures.
In particular, there are many treasures such as elixirs, and many rare varieties appear in the Five Poison Mountains.
Faced with the temptation of treasures, no matter how dangerous it is, there are always people willing to take risks and go to Wudu Mountain to hunt for treasures and experience them.
As time goes by, there are more and more monks around Huangyang Kingdom, and high-level monks are gradually emerging.
There is such a treasure place. People who are willing to take risks gradually enter the Five Poison Mountains. The monsters inside are slowly killed, and almost all the treasures are looted.
Up to now, most of the monsters and poisonous insects in Wudu Mountain have been killed or injured. Although there are no fourth-order monsters that are comparable to Nascent Soul monks, there are definitely third-order monsters.
As those monks who were lucky enough to come out informed them, almost everyone in Huangyang Kingdom now knew the news.
Therefore, the Five Poison Mountains are difficult for those foundation-building monks to set foot on.
Even if a powerful Jindan cultivator enters the Five Poison Mountains, he is still in danger of falling.
In addition, it is said that more than a hundred years ago, a Jindan monk died in Wudu Mountain.
When the news came out, it quickly caused a huge sensation in the world of immortal cultivation in Huangyang Kingdom. Even now, people still occasionally mention it.
Under such circumstances, even if Lin Tianming is confident in his own strength, he must be fully prepared.
At least you should inquire more about the dangerous place in Wudu Mountain before taking action, so that you can be much safer.
After making up his mind, Lin Tianming continued to wander around Yuquanfang City.
