A golden light flashed from the sky.
"It really comes to whatever you want."
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Yuan's face.
He stamped his feet hard on the ground, shaking up the snow all over the sky. Like a bird, it soared into the sky with lightning, crossed a small snow peak, and headed straight for the golden glow.
"Hey, Brother Jinchan, give me a ride!"
Li Yuan shouted to the golden-winged cicada in front of him.
The golden-winged cicada looked back and shouted: "Go away, young human being!"
If you can subdue a golden-winged cicada and use it as a mount to walk on Cicada Ridge, you can avoid a lot of trouble.
After all, no matter how bad it is, this monster has a deterrent effect on the Ice Demon Cicada.
"If it doesn't work, then it won't work! Why are you so angry!"
Li Yuan did not press hard, but his speed was not slow, and he continued to close the distance with the Golden Winged Cicada.
"Damn human being, you are seeking death!" the golden-winged cicada shouted angrily.
The golden-winged heavenly cicada flaps its huge wings, the sound of its origin sounds, and the energy filling the sky is like a golden blizzard, rolling towards the human youth.
Li Yuan was not afraid at all. He raised one hand and a small dark golden shield flew out, facing the wind.
"boom--"
The golden elemental force bombarded the dark golden black gold shield, making a muffled sound of thunder that resounded throughout the sky.
"Brother Jin Chan, is this all you have?" Li Yuan shouted, raising his Thunder Bow and shooting an arrow.
Suddenly, the space above the head of the golden-winged cicada vibrated, and a thundercloud appeared, bursting out with endless thunder and suppressing it.
The golden-winged cicada let out a low cry that shocked the soul, and the golden light was dazzling, resisting the thunder.
Before, the reason why Li Yuan didn't take action first was because he was afraid of scaring the other party away.
But the opponent took action, activating the energy within his body.
Without the use of Yuan Shu, the speed will inevitably be greatly reduced, allowing Li Yuan to attack.
"The late-level fourth-level monster is really powerful, and it can actually resist my Thunder Arrow Array." Li Yuan sincerely admired it.
When the last lightning struck the golden-winged cicada, Li Yuan seized the opportunity and used his thunder phantom, turning into blue and silver lightning and flying away, leaving a long streak of thunder in the void.
In the blink of an eye, blue and silver lightning fell on the golden-winged cicada, turning into a figure surrounded by blue and silver arcs.
Two figures, one large and one small, were suspended in the sky.
Seen from a distance, the golden-winged cicada looks like a mountain, and Li Yuan is just a small lightning spot.
Li Yuan showed his body, without any hesitation, he immediately used the Abyss Coil, and the blazing blue, silver, and green energy surged towards the Golden Winged Cicada, covering its huge body.
In an instant, countless thunder ivy sprouted all over the body like golden-winged cicadas.
The golden-winged cicada screamed and jumped violently in the air. Even with all its strength, it still couldn't break away from the thunder ivy.
As Li Yuan continued to pour energy into the vines, the monster became tighter and tighter the harder it was. Finally, it had no choice but to surrender and said: "Human, why do you have to come to me?"
"Don't be so stingy, just give me a ride.
"If I'm in a good mood, if you find all the materials, I can help you refine the Three Marks and Five Evils Blood Qi Pill."
Li Yuan persuaded and offered generous conditions.
"That's not a bad tone. Even the alchemists of the eight major sects in the Qinggu Continent may not be able to refine the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills, so it's just up to you?
"A small nirvana, but also three lines and five evil blood pills? Do you think I am a fool." The golden-winged cicada sneered.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Did you hear that a few months ago, a large number of Nirvana Pills appeared in Qianxue Auction House. The difficulty of refining these two pills should be about the same."
Golden-winged Tianchan was stunned. He knew about this and was present at the time.
Several green elixirs floated past the eyes of the golden-winged cicada, exuding a strong elixir fragrance, and finally fell into Li Yuan's hands.
"I remembered. The big green bow you just used must be the Thunder Bow from the auction."
Golden-winged Tianchan somewhat believed Li Yuan's words.
Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes burst into laughter. It seemed that this free bird mount was in good hands.
"Boy, where did you get your Xuanjing Shield?"
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the Yuan Zhe team in the distance.
Li Yuan looked down and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples and wearing gold clothes with black patterns.
"Ren Peng!"
A chill came over Li Yuan's heart, and he forgot about the existence of this person in the team below.
With a slight raise of his hand, the huge dark golden shield suspended in the sky quickly became smaller, turned into rays of light, and disappeared into Li Yuan's Yun Ring.
"Brother Jin Chan, hurry up and leave. Do you want the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills or not?"
He ignored Ren Peng, patted the golden-winged cicada on the back, and at the same time transformed the thunder ivy.
"Yes! Don't trick me." Golden-winged Cicada hurriedly replied.
"Don't worry, as long as you have the materials, I'll take care of it." Li Yuan patted his chest and said.
Hearing this, the Golden-winged Heavenly Cicada stopped talking nonsense. It flapped its giant cicada wings, accelerated suddenly, and flew towards the depths of Qianjue Cicada Ridge, leaving an afterimage of golden clouds in the sky.
Li Yuan is not afraid of Ren Peng, but there are many powerful people around, so it is not advisable to fight, so as not to give other Yuan people an opportunity to take advantage of.
When you come here, you need to be on guard against sneak attacks.
"Dragon protector Ren, you probably don't even have the black gold shield of your pavilion." Qiu Yuyan said with a smile.
Ren Peng's face darkened, but he didn't refute. He really didn't.
The Xuanjin Shield is a middle-grade Xuanbao. Even in Jinling Mountain, only two elders are qualified to use it.
"I heard that three or four years ago, Jinling Mountain killed an elder who was about to reach the peak of Nirvana in his own area." Another Yuanzhe said.
"That's right, that black gold shield just now belongs to that elder?"
A group of Yuan people sat on the back of the Xueyun Lion who continued to run on the road and discussed.
Back then, because Diao Zhi was able to defeat many elders at the Peak of Perfection and was about to enter that level, the mountain gave him a black gold shield, which he had to return to the sect after he reached the Peak of Perfection.
Ren Peng was extremely angry when he heard the buzz around him.
But he didn't dare to take action. There were many Yuan warriors from all sides. He was alone. No matter how strong he was, he was still outnumbered.
The Yuan practitioners gathered together now include more than ten people who are at the peak of the late Nirvana period, including Gambling Hongtao from Bihai Pavilion and Qiu Yuyan from Baiwufang.
………
The golden-winged cicada is used as a mount. Even if there is wind and snow, the speed is not slow. After all, it is a monster living in this area.
"We are lucky. After the heavy snowfall and the emergence of precious medicine, the number of demonic cicadas is much smaller.
"With the hundreds of years I have lived here, I can reach the Cicada Cave in less than two hours.
"According to the speed at which the Snow Cloud Lion travels under these conditions, it will take at least a day or two." The Golden Winged Cicada said proudly.
Patting the golden-winged cicada, Li Yuandao said: "My name is Li Yuan, what is your name?"
"Jin Rui."
Li Yuanhan smiled and said: "Your name seems a bit inconsistent with your image!
"The late-level fourth-level monster should be the overlord in this area and govern many areas, right?"
The golden-winged cicada that can reach this level of cultivation has the golden cicada bones in its body completely formed. If it continues to grow, more golden cicada spiritual bones will be differentiated.
When the golden cicada bones have differentiated enough, the celestial cicada spiritual bones become golden cicada bones in the true sense.
After possessing the real golden cicada bones, the golden-winged cicada can relatively easily advance to the fifth level of monsters, and their cultivation level will increase much faster than that of monsters of the same level.
Golden Cicada Bone, as a growth-producing elemental bone that surpasses Xuan Bone, can eventually reach the level of Heavenly Bone.
Jin Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Here, if you don't have the strength to step into the fifth level, how can you dare to dominate.
“The entire Thousand Jue Cicada Mountains is vast, and I know of more than a hundred monsters with half a foot on the fifth level.
"There are almost ten level five monsters. With my little strength, how dare I dominate.
"But... when I break through to the peak of level four, and then take the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills, I should be able to reach level five with half a foot.
"By then, you will definitely be able to have your own territory."
"You have a pretty good idea." Li Yuan joked.
Hearing this, Jin Rui was so shocked that he hurriedly slowed down and asked: "Don't bother me about the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills.
"We monsters cannot cultivate as fast as you humans. I have lived for almost five hundred years and am only at the late fourth level."
Li Yuan clasped his hands behind his head, lay on Jin Rui's back, looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and said lazily: "Be careful, don't throw me down.
“As for the elixir, don’t worry, I will do what I say.
“However, the failure rate of refining elixirs of this grade is extremely high, so you have to prepare materials.
"Don't blame me for not being able to refine the elixir due to your fault."
Jin Rui said very humbly: "I understand the rules of your alchemist. I have also saved a lot of materials over the years.
"Let's go to a few friends' places. As long as it's not a precious medicine, and we can raise thirty or fifty copies, it should be no problem."
"Wait, stop for a moment. Turn back." As soon as Jin Rui finished speaking, Li Yuan jumped up from his back.
"Why are you so surprised?" Jin Rui said.
"Go back, hurry up." Li Yuan urged.
Shaking his head helplessly, Jin Rui flapped his cicada wings and circled back in the air.
………
A small snow-capped peak, with water-blue ice clouds covering half of the peak.
On the mountain wall below, there are several huge Wanhan pines. Although they are covered with snow, you can still see some green color.
Under the Wanhan pines, there seems to be flowing rays of light, dense and steaming.
"Qing Cuiling!" Jin Rui exclaimed in shock, the monster is extremely sensitive to heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
When they just passed by, the speed was so fast that they didn't pay attention.
Relying on the alchemist's natural insight into materials, Li Yuan felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Qing Cuiling, a sixth-level low-grade material and a low-grade treasure medicine, is green all over and emits cyan glow. It can help the Yuan One absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.
"Do you know it?" Li Yuan was surprised. Later, he thought that Jin Rui had lived in this area for hundreds of years, so it was not surprising that he knew this thing.
Hearing this, Jin Rui explained: "I was lucky enough to see him twice before. There was once a human being who asked us to find him."
"Have you seen it twice? Are there many of these things in Qianjue Chan Ridge? Are there any humans cooperating with you?" Li Yuan was surprised and asked curiously.
"Brother, I have lived for nearly five hundred years and have only seen you twice. Do you think that's too much?"
Jin Rui paused and continued: "Qianjue Chan Ridge is one of the places in the entire continent that is rich in precious medicines.
"Because there are too many dangers inside, some strong humans don't want to take risks, so they ask us to help find them.
"The sensitivity of monsters to heavenly materials and earthly treasures is no worse than that of you alchemists.
“These materials are of little use to us, but they are of great use to you humans.
“It’s just that materials at the level of treasure medicine have some spirituality, which is hard to come by.
"We wait until they appear before we go out to look for them. We are unlikely to encounter them on weekdays."
Li Yuan nodded. Jin Rui's words were true. Monsters did have natural advantages.
Although materials of this level like treasure medicine are only entry-level materials in Lingdali, it also shows that they are precious.
"I would say that it is a bit exaggerated for so many diverse people to come to Chanling this time for Luo Lian, the Jinhun.
"It seems that the news that there are other treasures appearing together is true." Li Yuan muttered.
These words floated into Jin Rui's ears: "The Yuan Zhe who entered Chanling this time was firstly looking for the precious medicine Jinhun Luolian you mentioned, and also looking for other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"In fact, most of them are under the guise of looking for treasures. The real purpose is to go to some battlefield ruins to find treasures."
After hearing what Jin Rui said, Li Yuan was sure that Jinhun Land Luo Lian was just the tip of the iceberg, so he asked the former to explain carefully.
Every time a precious medicine appears in Qianjue Chan Ridge, it will be taken turns by various forces to compete for it.
Moreover, there is not just one kind of precious medicine.
Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, there must be many kinds of precious medicines, and their scope is constantly expanding.
Jinhun Land Luo Lian is a special treasure medicine, which is very rare in Qinggu Continent. Due to its influence, Thousand Jue Cicada Ridge has become a holy land of treasure medicine this time.
The treasure medicine will appear like a pilgrim, and of course, the other material grades are below Jinhun Land Luo Lian.
The revealed treasure medicine has an inhibitory effect on the ice evil cicadas, and they will become much docile. This is one of the reasons why many Yuan people venture into it.
As for those battlefield ruins, they are the gathering place of evil spirits, which is exactly the place that Ice Evil Demon Cicada likes.
If the precious medicine hadn't appeared, not even monsters like the Golden-winged Cicada would have dared to go there.
Qianjue Cicada Ridge was originally just called Cicada Ridge, and the word "Qianjue" was added later.
Countless years ago, there were still many powerful people in the Transformation Realm in the Qinggu Continent, and there were even more countless people in the Yuanshen Realm.
At that time, Qianjue Chan Ridge was a famous holy land of precious medicines in the Qinggu Continent.
In order to compete for these precious medicines, many strong men took great action. There were countless battles that took place here. The most famous one was the Battle of Thousand Kings.
In that battle, more than a thousand strong men in the late stage of the Yuanshen Realm fell.
After that battle, this place changed from Cicada Ridge to Thousand Jue Cicada Ridge. This is the true meaning of the Yuanshen realm forbidden land.
The Ice Demon Cicada used to be just an ordinary monster. Even though it was cruel by nature, it would not commit suicide to attack Yuan Zhe.
Perhaps it's because countless Yuan Zhi died here, and the evil spirits left behind affected them.
Slowly, the Ice Demon Chan felt the Yuan Zhe's aura, and easily rioted and attacked the Yuan Zhe.
When the ice devil cicada goes crazy, it is difficult for the monsters living here to control it.
They are still growing by the hundreds of millions.
After many changes, the precious medicines here slowly withered and became extremely precious, but it is still the holy land of precious medicines on the mainland.
The ruins of many battlefields where Yuanzhao died have also become places for treasure hunting.
Any ingot used by the strong can support a family.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find fifth-level skills, magic, or even treasure pills.
"Li Yuan, are you sure you want to collect Qing Cuiling? There are at least 100,000 ice evil cicadas on the mountain peak."
Jin Rui flapped his wings rapidly, only the vague veins of his wings could be seen, hovering in front of the snowy peak, not daring to move forward.
"Didn't you say that the precious medicine has an inhibitory effect on them? Qing Cuiling is here, so there should be no problem." Li Yuan replied.
Jin Rui was anxious: "That doesn't guarantee everything. Taking away the treasure doesn't mean that you actively provoke them?"
"Isn't it because of you?" Li Yuan smiled, "Your bloodline has an influence on them."
"Brother, even if the medicine is right below, the fragrance of the medicine can suppress these guys.
"But now they are all aqua blue and not sleeping. If it were a dark black mountain, you could give it a try, but not now.
"That ice cloud has at least a hundred thousand heads, I'm not that capable.
"Please spare me, okay?
"Although the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills are precious, you still have to live to enjoy them." Jin Rui begged for mercy.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll lead them away and you go pick them. We'll meet at the Cicada Cave."
"Really?" Jin Rui didn't believe it.
With Li Yuan diverting the attention of these guys, as long as nothing happens, there will be no problem in taking Qing Cuiling and escaping unharmed.
Li Yuan didn't reply, thunder gushed out from the soles of his feet and soared into the sky from the back of the golden-winged cicada. The thunder enveloped his whole body, crackling and shining.
Looking at the ice clouds on the mountain peak in the distance, he raised his right hand slightly, covering it with a layer of Yuanli film, and the energy fingerprints above condensed and poured out.
