Hou Qingdan's cultivation level had recovered to 90%, and he wanted to test the depth of Xue Tong. The wind came out of his feet, and he breathed nine miles at a time, flying across the wilderness.
Xue Tong's feet did not touch the ground, and the power flow gushing from the soles of his feet. As soon as the ground pressed down, he jumped up a hundred feet, following Hou Qingdan closely, without falling behind at all.
"Well, even if I recover as before, it seems it will be difficult to beat you." Hou Qingdan said with a satisfied smile.
…
The Xuanqing Immortality Tablet dropped by Liu Tu Deer has an irregular shape and unknown material. It has the words "Yanggong" engraved on the back and an ancient and vast pattern on the front. It feels moist and cool to the touch.
The color, material and pattern are related to the longevity card in Xiao Qianfeng's pouch, but the two cards cannot be spliced together. It seems that twelve cards need to be collected to form one piece.
Hou Qingdan closed his eyes and placed the Yanggong Immortality Medal on his forehead. The golden light reflected the three mantras.
"Moon Deer Sword", "Star Sun Spear", "Willow Earth Crossbow".
Counting the other two spells in the Si Palace Immortality Card: "Wing Fire Bead" and "Zhen Waterfall", there are now five star-level attribute attack spells.
The five spells are extremely exquisite. According to the preface of the Winged Fire Bead, the attack power is ten times greater than that of the True Flame Fire Bead. Due to the different attribute scales and mana intensity of the caster, the attack power may be even greater.
Spells are more convenient than magic weapons. Most of the non-handheld magic weapons can be bought and sold with one hammer, such as the Fallen Hammer and the Hell Axe. The magic power can be used up in one move. During a fierce battle, there is no time to pour the magic power and come up with new tricks.
Spell activation does not have this shortcoming, but it is often less powerful. With powerful spells such as Winged Fire Beads, the attack can be compared to magic weapons, and it is quick and continuous. It can be regarded as a powerful weapon in single fights and group fights.
The legendary immortal power has not yet been seen.
The two of them speculated that if they collect the twelve longevity cards, they may be able to obtain immortal powers, but it is difficult to reach the sky by collecting them all. It is purely a chance event.
The trip to the secret realm was more than expected.
Xiao Qianfeng killed the four cultivators in Jingshan, and together with the treasure in his own storage bracelet, it was priceless.
Among them, the Anti-Silver Spear and the Red Blood Divine Sword are both of the fourth grade of the Earth level.
Xue Tong proposed to exchange the Dragon King's armor and shield for the silver spear.
Hou Qingdan's Jade Soul Shield was damaged and he had the Thunderbolt Bone Spear in hand. He immediately agreed and gave all the high-level heavenly and human elixirs of the Fourth Cultivator of Jingshan to Xue Tong.
The fourth-grade magic weapon shrinks and expands freely. It is usually hidden in the sleeve pocket. When used, it can be used to launch fierce killing moves with a flick of the sleeve.
…
The waves of earth, rocks and ground were left thousands of miles behind.
"The situation outside the secret realm is unknown. It's best to disguise yourself before going out, so as not to cause trouble to the Xiashan Sect." Xue Tong reminded.
"Yeah." Hou Qingdan stopped, took makeup mud and applied it on, pretending to be a middle-aged female cultivator with a yellow face.
Xue Tong disguises himself as a wretched man in his fifties.
The orange wall of the entrance is visible in the distance.
Hou Qingdan hesitated whether to step out immediately.
"It won't take more than half a day to leave early and leave late. It doesn't matter. There must be a magic circle on the other side of the orange wall. I wonder if it will trap us. The Jingshan Sect will not withdraw if they don't see their own people." Xue Tong said.
"Everyone is dead. No matter how much you explain, it will be in vain. No one is willing to listen and confirm. Breaking the formation is the only way out." Hou Qingdan held a knife and stood in front of the orange wall.
Xue Tongti stood side by side and whispered: "Let's go!"
Step into the orange light.
Passing through the orange fog, the ruins of Changsheng Ridge suddenly dawned in front of us.
The moment Xue Tonghou Qingdan appeared, the air flow immediately activated the magic circle.
There was a red light on the orange wall as a warning, a half-shell shield enclosed a radius of thirty miles, and there was a mound of soil more than a hundred feet away. The Jingshan Sect's guarding monks were filled with surprises.
After waiting for three months, a new situation finally emerged, but the two people in the formation were completely unexpected, and they didn't know who the "monster" was.
Hou Qingdan's Fox Immortal Sword surged ten feet in size, and the powerful slash exploded on the light shell of the magic circle.
The cracks in the light shell were as dense as a spider web, and Xue Tongxing's meteorite cloud followed closely behind.
"Boom~"
The magic circle collapsed, and Xue Tonghou Qingdan jumped out.
The four elders of the Jingshan Sect and several masters were all stunned, and they dared not move.
The magic circle arranged by Jingshan Sect could only barely trap Wu Sheng. Hou Qingdan's skill was approaching the middle stage. The Fox Immortal Sword slashed with all his strength, plus Xue Tong's power, and collapsed on the spot.
The two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Stay away!"
Jingshan, the leader of the elders, pinched his fingers and recited the incantation, casually set up a mid-level magic circle among heaven and humans, and ordered to retreat.
A few hours later.
The orange light of the light wall shined brightly, and a faint rumble could be heard in everyone's ears. Finally, the orange wall suddenly shrank and turned into a prism crystal.
After a few breaths, it turned into a ray of orange light, passed through the magic circle, and disappeared into the boundless night sky.
"Where are Deputy Sect Master Ni and the others?!"
Everyone was anxious and yelling, feeling that something was wrong.
The investigation result of this matter was also revealed. The man and woman who were taken out could not see what they looked like. There were no clues about where the secret realm came from, what was in it, and where it went.
On the outskirts of Huicheng, Xiaozhuang.
Xue Tonghou Qingdan sneaked into the attic.
Don't miss Xiao Qianfeng's map, it may be of great use in the future.
The hidden restriction alert was triggered, and the master monks in Xiaozhuang rushed into the courtyard. Several palm shadows suddenly appeared above their heads and waved their hands several times, causing everyone who came to faint.
Xue Tong packed up the album and left with Hou Qingdan.
"We can't stay in Huicheng anymore. The matter in Jingshan is related to Xiao Qianfeng's disappearance and the theft of the attic. It will take some time for the elixir to be supplied. Let's find a solution in another place." Xue Tong said.
"Well, let's go to Haodu, one of the three major cities in Xulu you mentioned last time." Hou Qingdan said.
…
Twenty thousand miles away, in the vast capital, millions of monks gathered, and Xue Tonghou Qingdan directly found the "Shengling Medicine Village".
Xiao Qianfeng collected three atlases of Haodu. The larger buildings and famous places in the city are all clearly marked.
Shengling Medicine Store has a long-standing reputation and is the leading drug dealer in the local area.
The people of Yaozhuang didn't like to see him very much. Even though Hou Qingdangui was the leader of the sect, Martial Saint, and he said that he had big business to discuss, in the end, he only sent the deputy owner of the village who was at the top of the heavenly level for an interview.
The deputy sect leader was not arrogant, but lukewarm, and his conditions were very strict. He asked for half of the purchase price in advance, and he could take the elixir himself.
Hou Qingdan resisted the urge to have an attack and said a few words absently to signal Xue Tong to leave.
"Don't be anxious. If you have money, why don't you worry that no one will do business?"
Under the negotiated terms, 30% of the purchase price will be paid in advance, and the elixir can be picked up by oneself. The price is the same as that of Huicheng, and the supply volume generally meets the demand.
Hou Qingdan came to Haocheng for another purpose.
She has harvested a large amount of magical artifacts and spiritual stones, and intends to purchase a large number of spiritual elixirs and ancient elixirs.
The two spent another month selling off some of Xiao Qianfeng's and Ni Qing's magic weapons, and bought elixirs and elixirs in batches at branches. The quantity basically met their expectations.
Hou Qingdan followed Xue Tong's suggestion and bought more elixirs needed by the Xiashan Sect for three years.
Then he flew back to Xiashan Sect on a hawk.
Hou Qingdan handed over the elixir and announced the retreat, and all major and minor matters would be handled through negotiation between Chang Zhiqian and Qiu Hongwu.
Xue Tong entered the Jinlin Peak Underground Palace that day.
…
Six years later.
There was a clear whistle deep in the underground palace, and Xue Tong stepped out of the cave, full of energy, he was already in the late stage of heaven!
After hearing the news, Hou Qingdan came out of seclusion for the first time in six years and announced Xue Tong as the deputy sect leader of Xiashan.
"Is there anything special that needs to be reported to this sect?" Hou Qingdan changed the topic and asked.
"Several important things have been reported to the sect master through messages. If we say something special, our sect has developed quite well. For the five-year spirit testing draft, 500 disciples have been admitted. More than 90 monks from Dongluzhou have defected. Xia Mountain." Chang Zhiqian said.
"Oh, what's the attribute scale of the best?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"Forty-three knots, five knots and six points for the wind attribute."
"Yes, that's right. A lot more people have defected to Donglu than in the early years. We must find out the details. Are there any particularly outstanding people?"
"It can't be said to be outstanding. A few grandmasters are just so-so."
After chatting in the meeting hall for a while, Hou Qingdan talked about the important matter of the elixir business, "Our sect's elixir trading channel was interrupted six years ago, and we reluctantly reached an agreement with several drug dealers. In a few days, we will need to send people to Haocheng to pick up the medicine. We also sell cold zone medicinal materials.”
"This saint and Deputy Sect Master Xue agreed six years ago to open a spiritual object shop in Haodu to sell elixirs and spiritual materials. Deputy Sect Master Xue will lead the team."
If there was no need to sell frigid resources, Xue Tong would rather go alone, pay the money without anyone noticing, and bring back the elixir from the temperate zone.
It's a pity that if we don't sell resources, how can we get such a large amount of money? What's more, if the resources of the Cambrian Mountains are not sold inland, Xiashan Sect will become a Taoist sect that can only go out but not enter. How can it develop for a long time?
Tens of thousands of monks, such a big stall, Xue Tonghou Qingdan had to do some business to maintain it!
"Opening a store? This is the territory of mainlanders. Opening a store in the open often leads to trouble." Chang Zhiqian was well-informed and worried.
"What good advice does Elder Chang have?"
Hou Qingdan looked at Sha Jinkang, Wu Haitang and others present at the same time.
No one answered for a long while.
"Due to the troubles of the Yi Hong Alliance, there are no longer large merchants traveling between the two places to receive and sell goods. Vice Sect Master Xue will improve his cultivation. When the time comes to try to open a store in Haodu, he will try to rebuild the trade route."
"This is a big matter, and all the ministries must fully cooperate with the people Deputy Sect Leader Xue needs!" Hou Qingdan said.
…
Xue Tong selected twelve people, with Yan Sihai and Zhuge Jing as his assistants, and embarked on the journey back to Haodu.
He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the sect property he carries with him is worth 1.5 billion.
I packed three storage bracelets with cold zone elixirs, spiritual materials, and extra money to buy the medicines, and put them into my belt next to my body.
The other ten people who follow him are all the most capable masters of the deacon hall.
He took six deer and camel carts and traveled three thousand miles a day.
The journey was uneventful and we arrived at Yingfeng Town in the northwest of Haodu.
After passing Yingfeng, Haodu is eight hundred miles away.
"Just rest for one night at the mountain col outside the town and enter the city tomorrow." Xue Tong ordered.
…
As night fell, there was a lot of noise at the entrance to the col.
Zhuge Jing came forward to negotiate to no avail and responded: "Several cultivators took a look and told them to stay away. They refused. It seems that they are deliberately causing trouble."
"Oh, is there someone here to cultivate?" Xue Tong asked.
"The first heavenly being in the later period."
"That's just to test the truth."
"Um"
"Just let them spy, and then leave after just one night."
Xue Tong was not angry and said generously.
Yan Sihai and Zhuge Jing did not raise any objection.
Unexpectedly, the foreign monks took advantage of the situation and set up simple wooden tents on the hillside. Looking down from a high place, they actually made a lot of noise, making a clear appearance of provoking trouble.
"Haodu hasn't arrived yet, and trouble has already appeared uninvited. It seems that this important task for the sect is more difficult than imagined."
Xue Tong said with a smile, his face suddenly changed, "Xiashan Sect is not that easy to bully."
He chanted the incantation, and a flash of lightning suddenly appeared.
The mountain of lightning rolled and formed into several thunderballs.
The rolling thunder rumbled toward the woodshed.
