Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past five years, the strength of Baiyun City has been greatly developed. The news that the Dayong Army severely damaged the Xianqu Army and killed its commander Fu Yu spread throughout the Shenmu Continent. The human monks rejoiced and many people ventured to Baiyun City to join the Dayong Army.
Although Beigu City is still in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has lost the Gongli Army and tens of thousands of spiritual beasts, and is no longer able to completely block every valley and trail leading to Baiyun City. Therefore, most of these human monks were able to reach Baiyun City smoothly, and Baiyun City finally had a channel to communicate with the outside world, and more materials and spiritual sources were brought into Baiyun City.
In the past five years, there have been more than 10,000 human monks who have come to Baiyun City. All of them are monks with a certain degree of combat power. There are also many masters among them, such as Luo Luoshan, who is in the perfect elixir realm, and the Black and White Shuangsha, who is in the advanced elixir realm. The Law brothers. They are also old friends of Qingshi and others.
Qingshi and Chen Tianye were naturally happy to see Luo Luoshan, Black and White Shuangsha, and Asi Anan, but the fact that they had not waited for Duan Wutian's return for five years also made them slightly regretful and worried.
In five years, Qingshi, Chen Tianye and Xiang An also made great progress in their cultivation.
Thanks to the special effects of Shenmai, in just five years, Qingshi's Qi cultivation has reached the ninth stage of the Immortal Pill Realm, and he has the conditions to impact the Divine Origin Realm. He also fully understood the Heavenly Way of Fire. Among the Five Elements of Heavenly Way, only the Watery Heavenly Way has not yet been fully understood. According to Qingshi's plan, after he fully understands the Heavenly Way of Water, he will choose the opportunity to attack the Divine Origin Realm.
Chen Tianye's Zhenqi cultivation level has also reached the third stage of the Immortal Elixir Realm. Although it is still worse than Xiang An, in terms of combat power, two Xiang Ans tied together are no match for him, because not only does he have all five elements of Zhenqi, And he also understood the art of swordsmanship thoroughly.
Xiang An is not Chen Tianye's opponent, which does not mean that he is weak. In fact, he has fully understood the way of water. In terms of combat power, only Qingshi, Luo Luoshan, Chen Tianye and a few others under the Shenyuan realm can overwhelm him.
The sacred wheat that comes every five years matures as scheduled. This time, naturally, no Communist forces came to harvest it. A total of 30 million sacred wheat were harvested in Baiyun City, and everyone in the city was elated and beaming with joy.
Qingshi and Yan Ruyun had already made an agreement to exchange spiritual stones for divine wheat. On this day, the divine wheat season had just ended, and Yan Ruyun sent someone to notify Qingshi to come to Baiyun City for a meeting.
The Council is the highest authority in Baiyun City, but its office is just an ordinary courtyard on the north side of the central square. In terms of area, it is about the same size as Qingshi's house.
Qingshi walked to the entrance of the courtyard. The guard naturally knew Qingshi, so he quickly took him to the reception hall, and then went to inform Yan Ruyun.
After a while, Yan Ruyun, Lun Ke and Lai Gu came to the living room together.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Yan Ruyun said: "Young Master Qingshi, I know that you, Xiaopang, and Chen Tianye all need a lot of Shenmai to practice. We have gained a lot this season. I wonder how much you want? Please feel free to Open your mouth."
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "Thank you City Lord and several elders for your help. If possible, I would like to exchange 20 million high-grade spiritual stones for 10 million divine wheat."
"Ten million?"
Yan Ruyun looked at Lun Ke and Lai Gu, both of whom nodded affirmatively to her.
"Okay!" Yan Ruyun said with a smile, "Then ten million pieces. However, this time, we don't want spiritual stones. These ten million pieces of divine wheat are a gift from Baiyun City to you."
"How can this be done..."
Qingshi naturally declined, but Yan Ruyun and the others were also firm. After some negotiation between the two parties, in the end, Qingshi was exchanged for Shenmai at a ratio of one to one, that is, ten million high-grade spiritual stones were exchanged for ten million Shenmai.
After changing the magic wheat, Yan Ruyun said again: "Young Master Qingshi, if you have nothing to do now, you can follow me to see my great-grandfather."
"Really?" Qingshi said happily, "Ling great-grandfather has woken up?"
"That's right," Yan Ruyun said with a smile, "Great-grandfather woke up three days ago. I gave him a detailed report on all the events in the past thirty years. He already knew about the young hero Qingshi, Xiaopang, and Chen He greatly appreciates the generosity and contribution of young heroes Tianye, Xiang An and Duan Wutian to the sky. He also agreed to young hero Qingshi’s request to meet him."
"Great," Qingshi said, "Then let's go visit his old man now."
······
Yan Ruyun took Qingshi out of the council meeting, and then walked north along the street. Soon, the two of them arrived at the northernmost part of Baiyun City.
There is no city wall to the north of Baiyun City, but a towering snow-capped mountain. The cliffs standing thousands of feet tall are a hundred times steeper and stronger than any city wall in the world.
Yan Ruyun came under the cliff, then took off and flew up, Qingshi quickly followed.
After Yan Ruyun flew a hundred feet, she could no longer fly upwards with her own cultivation. So, she gently stepped on a rock protrusion on the cliff with her toes, and her body flew up more than ten feet high again, and then He stepped on another convex rock, rising ten feet higher again.
Qingshi found that these raised rocks were obviously stone wedges driven into the rock wall artificially, and there was not only one such stone wedge.
On the cliff, starting from about a hundred feet high, and every ten feet upwards, there is a stone wedge like this. It is clearly a hanging ladder, climbing up the stone wall like a long snake.
Yan Ruyun stepped on these stone wedges alternately with his feet, and his body rose up layer by layer like a swallow passing through the clouds, soaring straight into the sky.
Qingshi's cultivation level is not as good as that of Yan Ruyun, but he has the heaven-defying martial arts skill of Wind and Thunder Wings and understands the way of wind. Therefore, he can fly much higher than Yan Ruyun. However, after flying two hundred feet, the air suddenly became extremely thin, and Qingshi had no choice but to leap upward on the raised rock wedges like a swallow entering the clouds.
Yan Ruyun and Qingshi worked in tandem, leaping close to the cliff for nearly a thousand feet before reaching the top of this mountain peak. Here, they were still thousands of feet high from the highest peak on the top of the mountains. However, From here to the peaks of the mountains, there are no longer cliffs, but snow-capped, rolling peaks and ridges.
Yan Ruyun used the skill of treading on the snow without leaving any trace, and his figure floated like a fairy. He continued to leap and climb north along the slippery ridge, with Qingshi following closely behind. After traveling for dozens of miles in this way and rising nearly 500 feet in height, we finally came to another cliff. Compared with the first cliff, this cliff was smaller in height and scale, and the slope was smaller. It's also much smaller, and most of it is covered in ice and snow. At the bottom of it, there is clearly a dark cave.
This cave should have been completely buried by ice and snow. Now, you can see that the ice and snow that buried it have been pushed to both sides, revealing a cave entrance with a diameter of more than two feet. Judging from the appearance of the cave entrance, it is a natural that has been artificially modified. cave.
Yan Ruyun walked into the cave with the bluestone. The ground and walls inside the cave were covered with solid ice. If they had not been highly skilled in martial arts, they would not be able to walk smoothly at all. After walking forward for nearly a hundred feet, a stone door appeared in front of them. This stone gate is obviously blessed by a magic circle. In Qingshi's opinion, its level is no less than five levels.
Yan Ruyun took out a palm-sized red gold formation disk and inserted it into a groove on the stone door. After the formation disk rotated half a circle on the stone door, the stone door quietly opened.
Behind the stone gate is a huge ice cave. This ice cave is roughly irregular in shape, with a diameter of about thirty feet. The rough walls and flat ground are covered with thick ice that lasts ten thousand years.
The light in the entire cave is bright and soft, and the light source is a dozen lighting devices buried in the ice on the four walls. On the top of the cave, which is fifty feet high, hangs a large piece of naturally formed ice cone, as if it is an arrow that will be launched at any time, and it is also like a beautiful crystal chandelier.
Inside the ice cave, there is a magic circle composed of three concentric rings in the center. The diameter of the most central magic ring is about one foot. On the ground covered with dark golden patterns in the ring, there is a figure sitting cross-legged. There is an old man with a long beard and a thin body. He is obviously the emperor of the original Shenmu Continent's most powerful empire - Yan Dunhuang.
Yan Ruyun and Qingshi approached the old man. The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyun and Qingshi with eyes full of love.
"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun said, "This is Young Hero Qingshi!"
"Qingshi pays homage to Senior Yan!" Qingshi bowed deeply, his tone full of respect.
"Young Hero Qingshi is indeed a peerless genius!" Yan Dunhuang's voice was low and magnetic, "I think the Young Hero's age should be less than a hundred years of cultivation! He is already at the top of the Immortal Pill Realm, and he is just short of education. Tao elixir and Tao tree planting. I asked myself that I was a genius in the past, and I have seen people more talented than me, but this is the first time I have seen a genius like Qingshi Shaoxia. I am really lucky!"
"Senior, you are honored," Qingshi said. "Senior's name is so well-known. It is a blessing for this junior to be able to see his elegance with his own eyes."
"Haha!" Yan Dunhuang said with a chuckle, "It's really funny that we complimented each other as soon as we met, so let's talk honestly! I would like to thank Young Master Qingshi for his great contribution to helping Baiyun City, and please also thank your brothers. I would like to convey my gratitude. You have come to see me, young hero. Do you have any questions that I need to answer? There is no harm in asking, young hero. As long as I know something, I will tell you everything. Please sit down!"
Qingshi and Yan Ruyun sat on the two big futons on the ground.
"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun said, "I agreed to ask Young Hero Qingshi to diagnose my ancestor's injury first. If you want to answer the Young Hero's questions, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"Young Hero Qingshi," Yan Ruyun turned to Qingshi again and said, "I guess you are not in a hurry, right? If possible, Young Hero please take a look at the ancestor's injury first!"
"This is natural," Qingshi said, "If the old man can trust me, then please let me investigate."
"Alas!" Yan Dunhuang sighed and said, "I know my injury myself, and it is already beyond repair. If it weren't for Yun'er, Lai Gu, and Lun Ke to have some spiritual sustenance, if I hadn't given Bai Yun Cheng is always worried about me, I would have died happily on the battlefield a long time ago, why do I need to live like this as a living dead? I think there is no need to trouble the young hero."
"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun said anxiously, "Young Master Qingshi's alchemy and medical skills are really amazing. Just let him see it. Didn't we agree?"
"Old senior," Qingshi said, "Junior has all five elements of zhenqi. Just let me try it."
"The Five Elements of True Qi are all present!" Yan Dunhuang nodded and said, "No wonder he is such a genius. In this case, please ask the young hero to diagnose and treat me. If what I predict is true, my injury cannot be cured. , but maybe you can cure my poison."
After Yan Dunhuang finished speaking, he waved to Qingshi to come over.
Qingshi came to Yan Dunhuang and put his palm on his vest to check his injuries. After a long time, he took back his palm and slowly returned to his seat.
"How's it going?" Yan Ruyun looked at Qingshi and asked eagerly.
"The old man is right," Qingshi shook his head slightly and said, "Qingshi is incompetent. He can only detoxify, but not heal."
"What?" Yan Ruyun asked anxiously, "Didn't you say that a few years ago you rescued a senior who had been dormant for thousands of years? The ancestor had only been dormant for a few hundred years, so why couldn't he be saved?"
"This..." Qingshi said, "The situation is different. The senior has a higher level of cultivation and his dormant formation is more effective, so..."
"Yan'er!" Yan Dunhuang said with a smile, "Young Master Qingshi can detoxify me, which is an unexpected surprise. After the detoxification, I no longer need to lie here alive and dead. Although My strength cannot be restored, but I can live like an ordinary person for another few decades. Aren't you satisfied?"
"Really?" Yan Ruyun said in surprise, "But what if... alas!"
Yan Ruyun was both happy and a little regretful, but overall, it was indeed an unexpected surprise to have such a result.
