Chapter 587 Hejianfang City
This place may be a little weird!
Otherwise, the Shangqing Sect would never have left such a spiritually-rich place unattended!
Thinking of this, Li Qing frowned, but he couldn't figure out why.
"That's all, now that the Shangqing Sect has not been destroyed, it is unrealistic to rebuild the mountain gate in advance. We can only abandon it for the time being. It is best to understand the situation first!" Li Qinggao He muttered to himself and made a decision.
Although he really wanted Fatty Wu to place the remaining disciples of Lingyun Sect here, the situation was not clear yet, so he could only make this safe decision.
"Senior Brother Li, what should we do next?"
Shen Ningbing on the side asked softly after observing for a while.
In response, Li Qing slowly said:
"Go north to the Liang Kingdom and go directly to the Shangqing Sect's territory to explore."
This is the simplest and most effective way. You can always gain something by exploring the surrounding areas of Shangqing Sect.
In this way, the two of them flew side by side towards the north, crossing the familiar mountains and rivers, heading towards the location of Shangqing Sect at high speed.
The journey was a bit long, and the two of them kept concealing their auras and figures during the journey, revealing their cultivation in the foundation building stage from beginning to end.
The situation in the Qingling Territory is not as complicated as that in the Great Desolate Territory. A strange monk in the Dan Formation stage will definitely attract strong attention!
Not to mention that both he and Shen Ningbing were in the Dan-formation stage. Once it was leaked, the Shangqing Sect would definitely be alert.
Just like Lingyun Sect has Lingyunfang City and Tianhe Sect has Tianhefang City, Shangqing Sect also has its own market.
Fang City is called Hejian, so named because it is located in the middle of two rivers that run straight into the sea.
After wiping out the Tianhe Sect and Lingyun Sect, the Shangqing Sect, which dominates the entire Qingling Territory, has naturally become the largest trading market in the Qingling Territory.
A large number of casual cultivators gather here, planning to make a living.
If you want to get news and intelligence, this place is obviously the best choice.
Ever since, in a certain teahouse in Hejianfang City.
“How dare you sell this low-quality spiritual tea at such an expensive price? And it’s also called the spiritual tea of enlightenment? It’s really a bit too deceptive!”
An old man in a purple robe frowned. Putting down the tea cup in his hand, he kept complaining that this shop was too bullying!
At first he thought that there was really some spiritual tea for enlightenment, but he didn't expect that he wasted hundreds of spiritual stones, but only drank this spiritual tea, which made him feel a lot of anger.
However, a tea guest next to him reminded him in a low voice:
"Fellow Taoist, you'd better keep your voice down. Behind this teahouse is an elder from the Shangqing Sect, with a level of cultivation in the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"
After hearing this, Master Ziqing revealed a smile. With a look of disdain, he said:
"Can the foundation-building elder of the Shangqing Sect be able to bully customers like this?"
"Besides, even if the tea house has a good background, it is I didn’t force you to come here to drink tea, so why do you still come here to be deceived when you know that the spiritual tea here is not worthy of its name?”
As soon as these words came out, the other monks looked unnatural. .
But soon, a burst of laughter resounded outside the teahouse, answering Master Ziqing’s doubts:
“Hahahaha, that’s naturally because these people are seeking help from me, the Qing Sect!”
“Now is a rare period of calm in the Endless Sea. It is the best time to go to sea to catch spiritual fish. Without my approval, anyone who dares to go to sea without permission will be seeking death!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in from outside the teahouse. He pinched the beard above his lips and walked in with his big belly as if he was pregnant with Liujia.
“I have met Xu Zuoshi!”
As soon as this person came in, the tea drinkers stood up immediately and clasped their fists respectfully.
Some of them are monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and some are monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
I came here to spend a lot of money to taste spiritual tea, naturally not because I was willing to be taken advantage of, but because of this good opportunity to go out to sea to catch spiritual fish once a year.
Wuyahai has strong winds and huge waves for nearly ten months of the year, and from time to time there will be sea storms that can kill monks!
Only at this time will the waves calm down for a while.
If you want to go out to sea to catch all kinds of spiritual fish, now is the best time.
Of course, calm weather does not mean absolute safety. If you encounter a sea monster, it is also an extremely dangerous thing.
Every year, a considerable number of people who go out to sea to catch spiritual fish die from the mouths of sea monsters. This is a very shocking number!
However, even so, there are still many casual cultivators flocking to it.
Not for anything else, just because catching a spiritual fish on a trip to the sea is really a big benefit.
Once they are able to come back, often during this rare calm time, these monks will fill all their storage bags before they give up.
The income from one trip is worth a year or even several years of practice.
"Haha, since you are willing to give me the honor to come here to drink my Enlightenment Spirit Tea, then naturally you are indispensable for the certificate of going to sea."
As he said this, Xu Zuoshi took it from his arms A portion of the items for going to sea were given out and distributed to the monks present who had bought the 'Enlightenment Spirit Tea'.
Obviously, if you buy other spiritual teas with reasonable prices, you will not be eligible to get this sea-going gift.
Ambassador Xu Zuo also treated everyone equally. Although Master Ziqing had made rude remarks before, he also distributed him a voucher for going to sea.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, keep your belongings. Although Wuyahai is flat for the first time, it is still full of dangers. Remember to be careful, but don't lose your life to the sea monster!" Xu Zuo made a smile. Roubuxiao handed a jade piece to Master Ziqing.
After taking the jade piece, a flash of light flashed in the depths of Ziqing’s pupils, and then he pretended to be grateful and said:
“That’s it, Xu Zuoshi’s belly is I admire you, so I’ll thank you in advance.”
Master Ziqing clasped his fists solemnly.
However, Xu Zuoshi put on an air that would not let anyone get close to him, turned around and left with a sneer.
Going to sea to catch spiritual fish is not something that everyone can do. In his opinion, if inexperienced and ignorant monks like Master Ziqing go out to sea rashly, they will die.
Therefore, he didn't care much about the rude words the other party had just said. Instead, he handed him a voucher for going to sea, hoping that Master Ziqing would die from his greed.
But he never imagined that Master Ziqing was a monk in the alchemy stage, and the purpose of his trip was not to catch fish in the sea, but to get this certificate to go to sea!
After the ill-intentioned Master Ziqing obtained the means to go to sea, he continued to pretend to be an inexperienced monk and asked the tea guests around him:
"Everyone, the Wuya Sea is so vast and boundless. Why do you need a certificate from the Shangqing Sect to catch spiritual fish in the sea?"
As soon as these words came out, some monks who went to sea to fish for a living all year round shook their heads and said :
“My fellow Taoists don’t know that the Shangqing Sect raises a powerful third-level monster named Tuoshan Turtle. The sea area outside the Shangqing Sect’s mountain gate is the territory of this turtle.”< br>
"In that sea area, there are always a lot fewer sea monsters. If you want to catch spiritual fish, this is the first choice." "And if you don't have a sea certificate, you can go out to sea to catch spiritual fish If it is discovered by the patrolling monks of the Shangqing Sect, it will be a dead end.”
After hearing this, Master Ziqing showed a look of understanding and nodded.
“If you have never been to the sea before, I advise you not to go to the sea without permission.”
“Even in the sea area where the mountain turtle lives, there are still dangers. To avoid losing your life, let’s take today’s incident as a lesson.”
Master Ziqing smiled and cupped his fists: “Thank you fellow Taoists for reminding me, let’s just say goodbye!”
After saying that, he put the voucher away and left the teahouse.
However, Master Ziqing did not listen to the advice and prepare to leave. Instead, he still planned to go to sea.
Before this, he had found out clearly that the unique aura of the Shangqing Sect's skills was imprinted on this sea voyage certificate.
As long as you have this piece of jade, you will not be aroused by the hostility and vigilance of the Shangqing Sect Protector Monster Beast Carrying Mountain Turtle.
The reason why he went through so much trouble to obtain this certificate was because of the demon turtle raised by the Shangqing Sect!
Thinking about killing that third-level mountain turtle, even the Shangqing Sect would feel a burst of physical pain.
As soon as he thought of this, a coldness gradually emerged in Master Ziqing's eyes.
It’s just that Master Ziqing never thought that his whereabouts had actually been exposed.
All this fell into Ling Ying’s eyes!
“I have to say that the Ziqing ancestor of Lingyun Sect is really worthy of admiration. Even though the sect has been destroyed, he still thinks about revenge.”
Ling Ying revealed He gave a cold smile, then rubbed his chin with his fingertips, his expression becoming meaningful.
"Having obtained the certificate to go to sea, are you planning to attack our sect's mountain turtle?"
"With such persistent hatred, and not willing to take such risks, could it be that he has an accomplice?"
Ling Ying began to think carefully. He has come all the way from the Qi Refining stage to his current position. He is naturally very careful and will not act rashly and impulsively.
He dared to take on this matter alone, so naturally he had a lot of confidence in dealing with Master Ziqing.
In addition, he had just formed a pill and wanted to find someone to try his current methods. The Master Ziqing who came to his door now was perfect.
"Haha, it seems that my pill-forming ceremony is destined to be quite grand. I will use the blood of a real person in the pill-forming stage to sacrifice the flag!"
"."
For ancestor Ziqing Li Qing and Shen Ningbing naturally knew nothing about the matter.
The two of them concealed their aura and also covered their faces, and they also arrived at Hejianfang City.
“No wonder this place is so lively. It turns out that in seven days, the Shangqing Sect will hold an elixir-forming ceremony!”
"I didn't expect that there is another newly promoted alchemy monk in the Shangqing Sect."
Along the way, he and Shen Ningbing also collected a lot of information and figured out why this place was unusually lively, with people from all directions. Immortal cultivators gather here and there.
“Another Master Jiedan.” Shen Ningbing’s expression became a little more solemn.
Right now, they have not yet learned how many monks in the Shangqing Sect are in the alchemy stage, but based on the current information, they can roughly calculate that there are at least three or four ancestors!
First is Wen Xia, who is not dead yet, and then is Linglong Zhenren, who is in his prime!
Including this newly promoted monk in the alchemy stage, there are three ancestors.
In addition, after all these years, it is impossible for the Shangqing Sect, which has exclusively enjoyed the cultivation resources of the entire Qingling Domain, to successfully form elixirs without others!
Although the monastic environment in the huge Qingling Domain cannot be compared with that in the Wilderness Domain, one or two types of elixir-forming spiritual objects can still be found.
If you calculate it this way, the Shangqing Sect probably has at least four or five pill-forming ancestors in combat strength.
Coupled with the fact that there is a guardian monster in his sect, if he is carrying a mountain turtle in the late third level, this level of cutting-edge combat power is enough to put a lot of pressure on Li Qing.
"The most troublesome ones are undoubtedly the mountain turtle and the real person Linglong. The combat power of the two is far beyond what ordinary alchemy monks can match." Li Qing showed a look of fear.
Especially Master Linglong, who was a monk in the Dan Jie stage a long time ago. We haven’t seen him for so many years. With his qualifications, it is normal for him to want to advance to the later Dan Jie stage and look forward to the Nascent Soul. matter.
The Heavenly Spirit Root and the Exquisite Treasure Body can actually appear in a monk at the same time. It is simply an extremely unparalleled cultivation aptitude.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a rare qualification!
If she had not encountered a conspiracy in her early years, which damaged her foundation, I am afraid that she might really have ignored the monastic environment of Qingling Territory, and she might have successfully condensed the Nascent Soul here!
Of course, all this is Li Qing's guess.
“Anyway, I don’t think we should miss this Shangqing Sect’s Pill Formation Ceremony. This is a good opportunity to find out whether it is true or false.”
“If you can sneak in. , maybe we can meet other pill-forming ancestors of Shangqing Sect.”
Li Qing’s idea is very simple. Since it is a new ancestor’s pill-forming ceremony, there must be other ones. Ancestor Jie Dan attended.
Hearing Li Qing's bold decision, Shen Ningbing was slightly startled, then thought about it carefully and felt that this matter had great potential.
“It’s just a matter of how do we identify ourselves when we sneak into the Dan Dan Ceremony?”
“I think that in such a grand Dan Dan Ceremony, the people who can participate are all famous people, so we can’t just casually mingle. It's so easy to sneak in."
In response, Li Qing showed a confident smile: "This is not difficult. With our cultivation methods, we will still be stumped by this. ?”
“At that time, we will find the head of the Immortal Cultivation Family who comes to attend the ceremony, capture him, and then pretend to be his entourage to participate in the elixir formation ceremony.”
Speaking of this, Li Qing has already considered the target and carefully selected it in Hejianfang City.
At this time, on the surface of the Wuya Sea, it was supposed to be a calm time, but for some reason, a shocking tsunami and storm arose!
Many monks who chose to go out to sea to catch spiritual fish at this time all ran towards the shore in panic.
The terrifying wind and waves raised hundreds of meters high, covering the sky and the sun, as if they were going to submerge the sky, and crashed directly onto the shore.
Boom!
Along with the wind and waves came an astonishing amount of spiritual pressure!
