The Mangdang Mountains are the second largest resource gathering place in the Yan Kingdom.
Taking the center of the inner circle as its depth and radiating to the surrounding areas, it occupies more than one-tenth of the entire Yan Kingdom, which shows its huge area.
It contains countless mountains, forests, swamps, lakes, canyons...
Rich in spiritual energy and rich in natural resources, it has nurtured monks and warriors throughout the Yan Kingdom's spiritual world.
Most of the four major sects and many families in the south were built around Mangdang Mountain, and many forces derived their spiritual blood from it.
There are countless rumors and records about the Mangdang Mountains.
For example, its origin is relatively unified, and it is identified as the evolution of an ancient secret realm.
It has existed longer than the history of the two major sects in the north and south, and it is not comparable to the 'Yan Kingdom', which has changed its country name countless times. It is impossible to know when it can be traced back to.
Although many spiritual veins have been taken away, the spiritual energy of the mountains is always strong and various resources continue to grow.
Some people speculated that it contained a top-quality dragon vein.
However, a large number of supreme powers from the Eastern Territory Sect came in, and they searched everywhere but could not find it.
That’s why it’s called the spiritual land.
This is also a common feature of all the spiritual lands in Xianwu Continent - mysterious and rich.
certainly.
Over time, resources must slowly decrease.
The most obvious is the mineral deposits.
Whether it is a spiritual stone mine or various other spiritual material mines, it takes a long enough time to accumulate.
After countless years of mining and excavation, it is now very difficult to find a mineral deposit in the mountains...
It's the middle of winter, and the wind is biting.
The howling cold wind swirled around and hurt people's faces, making it difficult to open their eyes.
A man and a woman were walking on the open land, the soles of their shoes making a crunching sound on the gravel road covered with sparse grass.
The girl has exquisite features and a pretty face. Her flowing black hair is simply tied back with a ribbon.
The tight-fitting blue cotton coat perfectly outlines her slender figure, and she wears a red cloak, which looks like a beautiful landscape from a distance.
The man next to him was tall, with a dark face and a conspicuous scar on his eyebrow. He was dressed in a coarse cotton robe and his hair was casually spread out, looking a bit tough and rugged.
It was Zhong Yan and Jiang Huan.
The two of them did not wear masks and only modified their appearance. It would be difficult to recognize them without carefully identifying acquaintances.
Seeing more and more figures appearing in his field of vision, Jiang Huan tightened the straps of his cloak, brushed away the hair that had blown to the corner of his mouth, pursed his dry lips and asked, "Brother, are you almost here?"
Compared with Qingyang, which is close to the sea, the winter climate in Jingzhou in the south is relatively cold and dry. If the vitality is not mobilized to resist, the monks will feel uncomfortable.
Zhong Yan stopped, took out a cowhide kettle and handed it to her, looking around and nodding.
We traveled more than two miles.
At the end of the horizon lies a continuous black forest.
There are many people on the open flat land, and there are many scattered tents, wooden houses, and stone houses.
Jiang Huan raised his hand and pointed forward, "Brother, what is that?"
I saw a towering wooden frame erected in the middle of a circle of stone houses, with a small attic at the top.
"Lookout."
It was also Zhong Yan's first time to come to Mangdang Mountain. There was no such facility outside Yunmeng Swamp in the north. "It is used to monitor the beast tide."
"Is there a lot of beasts?"
"No more, no less. Mangdang Mountain is mostly surrounded by mountains. This is the entrance to the forest. The tides of beasts come out from this direction. Small beast tides will disperse after they don't go very far. They are more frequent but not that dangerous. , there are less than ten recorded times of large beast tides, which can hit the fairy city all the way..."
Before going into seclusion, Zhong Yan collected a large amount of information about Mangdang Mountain, and Huo Donglai even specially obtained a copy from Wufeng.
The two of them chose a direction to move forward. From time to time they saw people coming to practice and look for opportunities. They were all wary of each other and were at least thirty or forty meters apart.
There is the foundation building stage to directly control the air, and there is the Qi refining stage to control flying magic weapons.
There are those in the early stages of Qi refining who are at a low level, and there are also warriors armed with various weapons.
Outside the forest, people were scattered in twos and threes resting everywhere.
A man in rags and linen clothes ran forward, with a pointed mouth and a monkey's cheek, and said with a smile, "Two fellow Taoists! It's getting dark, why not drink some hot tea and hot soup to warm yourself up, rest overnight, and then go into the mountain tomorrow morning."
The man pointed towards a greenhouse not far away and continued: "It is also convenient for team formation and safer for adventure."
A lot of people gathered there, the stove was steaming, some were making tea, and there was a faint smell of meat.
Zhong Yan glanced at him, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, nodded and followed, "How much is a bowl of hot soup?"
"Fifty prayer beads, hard work, all made from the freshest monsters. The secret formula is absolutely delicious!"
There were no seats, so Zhong Yan and the two sat down on the stone pier in the corner. Their eyes came to them one after another, and they took one look and then put them away.
Not long after.
Jiang Huan held the big bowl and saw her husband dipped his thumb and nodded slightly. He puffed his lips and blew and took a sip. He blinked and scraped his lips with his tongue. His beautiful eyes shone and he whispered: "Brother, it tastes pretty good. Give it a try." It’s warm!”
It's so cute and tight!
Just looking at it made people happy and relaxed. Zhong Yan smiled and took a sip of the most common 'black fin pig' meat and bone soup.
After resting for a while, it was getting dark.
Several monks came forward one after another to chat and invite them to form a team, but Zhong Yan rejected them one by one. He found an open space to camp, set up tents, and arranged a banquet for the night.
They had been in seclusion for a long time and then traveled for two days. It was the time when the couple was making firewood. They hugged each other and quickly started talking and talking in circles to keep each other warm.
"Husband, Huan'er feels so comfortable..."
"Call me brother."
The beauty's eyelashes trembled, the corners of her mouth turned up in a charming arc, she twisted and shouted shyly: "Brother~"

…
I spent five days familiarizing myself with and observing the outskirts of the forest.
Zhong Yan picked a target and led Jiang Huan to find three monks.
"I'm Yan Zhong, this is my little sister Yan Huan. I wonder if I can go on an adventure with my three fellow Taoists?"
One man and one woman were at the eighth level of Qi refining, and the other man was at the seventh level of Qi refining.
The three of them were a little surprised. They looked at each other and looked at the person coming. Zhong Yan suppressed himself on the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Jiang Huan did not hold back, revealing his original seventh level of Qi Refining.
The leading young man in gray robe was slightly surprised, raised his hands and said with a smile: "We also have a teammate, if you don't mind, we can come together."
The monks are more cautious when forming teams. The most important thing is that they are at similar levels and will not be held back. It is not so easy for them to plot or kill each other.
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
After some introduction, the man in gray robe is named He Guangcheng, the woman is Xiao Xue, and the third young man is named Yang Yue. I don’t know if they are their real names.
The three of them are all casual cultivators, and they often form teams with Liu Changyu, who has not yet arrived.
When everyone gathered together, the six of them discussed the division of labor and ran towards the forest.
The outer forest is very large, and other expedition teams are encountered from time to time.
The number varies from three to eight, and there are also lone rangers, wary of each other and far away from each other.
Especially when they see sect disciples wearing uniform uniforms, the team of casual cultivators will take a long detour.
When we passed through the forest, we saw mountains of different heights.
Some are bare and barren of grass, some are covered with sparse vegetation and thorns, and many are green and densely forested.
"Let's go this way."
After a short pause, He Guangcheng ran forward, and the six of them spread out three to four feet apart.
More than half an hour later, when there was no trace of anyone else, the group flew at low altitude using the magic weapon.
Jiang Huan glanced around with his eyes, and from time to time he saw animals appearing on the ground below. Most of them were ordinary beasts, and a few monster beasts were also very weak, with only the aura fluctuations of the first and second levels of Qi Refining.
Occasionally, you can see common herbs. The plants are short and green, and they look like seedlings at a glance, and they are very young.
She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask out loud. She secretly observed and noted that this trip was mainly for her to gain experience and gain experience.
Stop and go, rest for two nights.
On the morning of the third day, the six people slowed down, fell into a dense forest in a valley, and began to search forward.
Seeing that there was a plant of 'Orchid Yingcao' used for refining Qi Condensing Pills under the tree root. It was growing well. Jiang Huan stopped and blinked, feeling a little hesitant.
Xiao Xue took a look at it and said with a smile: "You can pick it, just keep the roots."
"oh."
Jiang Huan smoothed away his hanging hair, his face flushed by the cold wind felt a little embarrassed. He had seen herbal medicine many times, and his heart was itchy and his hands were itching even more.
She knelt down, carefully folded the herbs, looked around, and put them into the storage bag.
Xiao Xue smiled and said to Zhong Yan on the other side: "Fellow Taoist Yanzhong, your sister is so cute. Isn't it her first time to come out to practice?"
Zhong Yan: "Yes, I have been cultivating at home. This will not bring her out to see the world."
Xiao Xue nodded, secretly guessing that Jiang Huan had good qualifications and had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at a young age.
Probably due to his special physique, Jiang Huan looked more and more fresh after he entered the practice. In fact, he was almost twenty-two years old, but he still looked like a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
As he moved forward, Jiang Huan slowly discovered that other teammates, including her husband, also occasionally collected herbs, but they were selective, and they were all herbs with relatively high value.
And do not pick young seedlings or damage the roots.
The same goes for monsters, pick the ones with high value and whose aura fluctuates above six levels.
She couldn't help but think to herself: "Everyone's quality is so high..."
Fortunately, she had the idea of clearing everything out to make a small amount of money.
After another overnight rest, Jiang Huan told her husband her thoughts.
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Expeditions come with goals. We pick everything we see, no matter how much storage bag can fit in it. Not everyone has a high-end storage bag like ours. The same is true for killing monsters. In addition, That is, every time you take a shot, you will lose a point of vitality. Keep it as much as possible until the critical moment to take action and gain more value..."
As for seedlings and preserving rhizomes, this is an unwritten rule, and most monks are very conscious of it.
This approach of uprooting can only be done for a while, unless we no longer need resources here.
If everyone really did this, the monks at the bottom would not be able to collect the elixir at all, and the outside world would become destitute long ago.
If your cultivation level is higher, there will be people with higher cultivation level than you. No one wants to come back empty-handed without finding resources.
Of course, there are also people who fish in the lake.
For example, in the past, when he was training in Yunmeng Swamp, it didn't matter whether you were a seedling or not, as long as it had medicinal effects, he would get rid of it and earn a little bit.
Usually, such seedling herbs can only be sold on the black market, or kept for their own use.
Jiang Huan nodded: "That's right!"
