The ore stall owner scratched his head, "Where can I find it? The fairy is my big customer. When I see the fairy, I have to say hello. Besides, I haven't mined any ore in the Qianren Mountains. How can I get the ore to sell?" ,hey-hey."
Zhao Ning then looked at his stall. Sure enough, there were very few ores in the stall, but there were a lot more sundries.
"Stall owner, are you taking the business of the stall owner next door?"
The ore stall owner laughed, "No way, this is his stall. He went to retreat for retreat. I will run the stall for him."
Retreating in seclusion is a common thing for monks, but Zhao Ning noticed that when the ore stall owner mentioned this, there was a clear flash of fear in his eyes.
Zhao Ning knew that something must have happened in Guiyuan City. Maybe even the sundry stall owner was involved.
She asked what happened.
"Fairy must have gone to the Lingwu Forest for a while. Fortunately, you went to the Lingwu Forest and didn't get involved in the chaos." He sat cross-legged, "The monks of the evil path came out of Guiyuan City. The evil thoughts are sown in the casual cultivators and used as a furnace for cultivation. That guy was planted. Fortunately, it was discovered early. He only needs to retreat and practice in seclusion to get rid of the evil thoughts. Otherwise, tsk tsk..."
"Evil way?" Zhao Ningzharang was very puzzled when he heard a new word.
"Fairy knows that the devil will corrode the soul and provoke evil. It can be seen that there are also monks with evil intentions who advocate the path of evil, flaunt themselves as demons, and practice the path of the devil."
The stall owner has the demeanor of a storyteller, or he may be feeling panicked after no one has spoken to him for many days.
"That Tianjiazhuang, a branch of the dignified Tian family, secretly practiced the method of the devil. This method is extremely weird. It uses the seven emotions and six desires of the monks as cultivation resources, and has harmed nearly ten monks. Fortunately, it was noticed early!"
Zhao Ning contacted him and asked, "A month ago, cultivators who became possessed by demons appeared one after another in Guiyuan City. Is this also because of this?"
"Exactly." The ore stall owner nodded heavily, "Those people had evil intentions to begin with. After planting the evil thoughts, their seven emotions and six desires were confused, and the evil was aroused. Within three days, they were corroded into puppets controlled by the evil thoughts. . However, this group of people had to mutate early and were discovered by the Qingxiao Sect. Then the problem was discovered and this group of evil spirits were eradicated."
"If it hadn't been discovered, wouldn't it be as serious as the Demonic Wilderness of the West?" Zhao Ning felt chills as she listened.
The ore stall owner shook his head, "That's not true. The method of the Demon's Way is not a real Demon, and the demon's thoughts are not a Demon's species. As long as this thing has a heart for the Dao or a pure nature, it will at most disturb the state of mind. , you won’t fall into a demon.”
Zhao Ning patrolled around and felt strange, "Then why is Guiyuan City patrolled so strictly?"
"It's not this damn Tianjiazhuang. It has been rooted in Guiyuan City for who knows how long. Many monks have unknowingly been planted with evil thoughts and have to guard against it. However, the fairy can rest assured that Tianjiazhuang has been taken over by Qingxiao Sect. The evil thoughts have been eliminated. Those evil thoughts have no roots. As long as you meditate within three days, the evil thoughts will disappear on their own. Now the patrols are tight, just because they are afraid that Tianjiazhuang will slip through the net, as well as those who have been planted with evil thoughts for a while. It’s just that he suddenly became possessed.”
After the ore stall owner finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ning with emotion, "Fairy is really lucky to have not encountered the most chaotic time. It is said that on the day of the Tianjiazhuang battle, the leader of the Qingxiao Sect brought a true disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm. , several foundation-building monks from the evil path in Tianjiazhuang fought for seven days and seven nights, and the aura of the riot could even be seen in Guiyuan City. Moreover, it was already the last day of the inspection. The fairy went back to rest for a night, and Guiyuan City recovered. It was more lively than before.”
Zhao Ning smiled lightly, "I saw that there were a lot less monks setting up stalls around me. I thought I would come back after these three days of rigorous inspection. Why didn't the stall owner take this opportunity to rest like them?"
The owner of the ore stall spread his hands, patted the storage bag on his waist, and pretended to touch it with a sad face, "I am poor, fairy, it is really not easy to get a few low-grade spiritual stones."
Zhao Ning was silent, who made a net profit of more than 300 low-grade spiritual stones from her.
The ore stall owner now took the opportunity to sell again, "Fairy, you really don't have to look anymore. I have everything in this stall. Fairy can find you whatever you want."
Zhao Ning had taken a look at the grocery stall owner's stall last time. When she saw the ore stall owner handing over a piece of long-horned material, she looked away and shook her head. Instead, she said, "I remember that the stall owner gave me the Lingwu Forest last time." The map is said to be the most detailed in the entire Guiyuan City, so let’s take it.”
Zhu Laosan’s map has been destroyed, and I need to buy a new one.
"Okay." When the ore stall owner heard that there was still business, he immediately handed the leather map rolled up in the pile of groceries to Zhao Ning, "Fairy, five spiritual stones."
Zhao Ning handed him the spirit stone and heard him smile and say "Thank you for your patronage".
Zhao Ning turned around to return to the cave, and subconsciously opened the leather map. The workmanship of this map was very simple, giving Zhao Ning an old-fashioned feeling. She unfolded the map little by little, and the first thing she saw was not the Spirit Mist Forest, but the mark in the lower left corner. Guiyuan City, as well as the Qianren Mountains above Guiyuan City, spread out further back, and the outline of the left side of Lingwu Forest roughly appears.
The Spirit Mist Forest is very large. It spans the Kunxu Cultivation Realm and the Biluo Cultivation Realm. Between the two cultivation realms lies the huge Thousand Tough Mountains. The area of the Spirit Mist Forest is almost as large as half of the Thousand Tough Mountains. Well, in this forest with a radius of nearly tens of thousands, Zhao Ning had only explored a small area in the lower right corner of the forest in the past month.
The map continued to unfold slowly backwards. The space cracks on the map were marked in extremely detail. Dangerous cracks and fog cracks were outlined in red and black ink. Until the center of the Spirit Mist Forest was reached, it was completely blank.
I heard people say that it is the place where heavenly beings once fell, and even real people in the Golden Core Realm do not dare to enter at will.
Zhao Ning didn't think too much. She fully unfolded the map, but was stunned at this moment.
The whole person stopped in the middle of the long street. She stared blankly at a place name on the middle left side of the map. For a long time, the people around her passed by her like running water. It took a while for her to come back to her senses. For a moment, I didn’t know whether to be overjoyed or self-deprecating.
Marked on the map were the places that Zhao Ning wanted to know most since he started practicing.
The ink handwriting clearly says - Yue Ming Marsh.
Is this Yue Ming that Yue Ming?
Zhao Ning didn't want to and didn't want to think that this was just a coincidence, or even if it was a coincidence, for Zhao Ning, she wanted to see it.
Yueming Swamp, the land of Yueming, where Tai Ke’s ancestors died, is buried with the bones, inheritance and life of their ancestors.
Zhao Ning was extremely excited, but the more her emotions fluctuated violently, the calmer she became like a piece of still water, and she slowly rolled up the map.
On the map, on the right side of Lingwu Forest are the Kunxu Cultivation Realm, Qianren Mountain Range and Biluo Cultivation Realm. On its left side are dozens of mortal countries in Kyushu. Mortal countries reincarnate in hundreds of years. On the map, there are only It records the name of a great country in Kyushu, Dayue Kingdom.
The Yueming Swamp is located between Dayue Kingdom and the Cloud Forest, and is closer to the Cloud Forest. No wonder Tai Ke's ancestors warned of the dangers here.
Zhao Ning never expected that after going around and around, Yue Ming's land would appear in front of her in such a dramatic way. Remembering that she had rejected the grocery stall owner's promotion of this map in the central square, she felt that there was something wrong with it. Very funny.
It seems that I still can't be stingy with those few spirit stones.
If you buy at will, you might get an unexpected surprise.
Zhao Ning clutched the map tightly and turned around in the crowd. After solving the problem of Lingqiao acupoint, she was determined to go to Yue Ming's land.
Thinking like this, Zhao Ning didn't even go to the cave and walked directly to the ancient medical hall.
When Zhao Ning arrived at the ancient medical hall, there were some patrolling monks in silver armor standing outside the door. Looking at their identity tokens, they seemed to belong to the Qingxiao Sect.
Is Senior Qin here?
As soon as Zhao Ningfu approached, the silver-armored monk guarding the door stopped Zhao Ning.
"Fairy, the ancient medical hall will not treat you today, please go back."
Although the patrolling monk in silver armor was cold-faced, he was also polite. Zhao Ning thought that they might have been injured during the battle with the evil demon path foundation-building monk.
Zhao Ning glanced inside the ancient medical hall, but there didn't seem to be one in the main hall.
"Fairy."
Zhao Ning stood there for a long time, and the silver-armored patrolling monk's tone became a little more serious.
Zhao Ning nodded and was no longer persistent. She turned around to leave, but then she heard Ji Xiu's voice.
She tilted her head. Ji Xiu looked very embarrassed, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was stained with dust. He supported his lower back and kept patting his back with a fan.
"Yu Jingjue, are you taking revenge on me? This magical power almost caused me to be roasted on the fire once."
There was no voice inside that answered his words.
Ji Xiu grimaced in pain and noticed the eyes outside the door. He groaned and opened his eyes, just in time to meet Zhao Ning's gaze.
Ji Xiu immediately stopped howling, straightened her back, blinked at Zhao Ning, and said with a smile, "Oh, little fairy Zhao Ning is back from the Lingwu Forest."
Ji Xiu waved his fan and called to the several silver-armored patrolling monks guarding the door, "Get out of the way quickly and let Xiao Zhaoning come in."
Zhao Ning didn't pay much attention to the fact that he changed his title several times in one sentence, and walked into the ancient medical hall. There was no one else in the main hall of the ancient medical hall, and none of the shopkeeper's apprentices were there.
She bowed her hands to Ji Xiu. Ji Xiu looked at her up and down and shook his head, "It seems that Xiao Zhao Ning is not doing well in Lingwu Forest."
Zhao Ning smiled at his teasing, "It's true that I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm in a relationship with Senior Ji."
Ji Xiu tapped her with his fan and smiled to himself, "The little girl actually made fun of me. Can you compare to my injuries? This is a record! Think about that day, four were in the initial stage of foundation building, and two were in the foundation building stage. There is also a Dzogchen evil cultivator in the Jizhong Realm. I, Ji Xiu, fought with them for seven days and seven nights, but I am still standing here alive."
Zhao Ning knew that what he said was probably an exaggeration, but she cupped her hands with a smile and said in agreement, "Senior is amazing."
Ji Xiu was very useful, but who knew that someone would try to dismantle him the next moment, "With your useless cultivation, if it weren't for Qin Keyuan's one person against four, and a Dzogchen guy, how could you stand upright?" Coming out of Tianjiazhuang?"
But he saw Yu Jingjue lazily strolling out of the inner courtyard.
"Cough." Ji Xiu gave a stiff fake cough to cover up his embarrassment. If it were for other questions that questioned him, he would have responded with thousands of words, but this sentence didn't work. There was Qin Keyuan in it. , he raised his hands and bowed to the right with a look of pride, "That's right, senior brother is the leader of our Qingxiao Sect."
Yu Jingjue looked like a magic stick again, "Even tens of thousands of years ago, even in the Biqing Yuehua Immortal Sect and the Netherworld Ninth Level Mansion, I would never have seen such a stunning figure."
"Hey." Ji Xiu touched his shoulder with her fan, "Jade Divine Staff, you're exaggerating too much, it sounds disgusting."
Old God Yu Jingjue was there and didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned his head and saw Zhao Ning standing aside.
He was deeply impressed by Zhao Ning. As soon as he saw Zhao Ning, the tangled look between his brows reappeared.
Zhao Ning bowed to him extremely calmly.
"Why are you little girl here? What...that..." He hesitated. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Ning knew that Yu Jingjue was still thinking about her. Instead, Ji Xiu knocked him with a fan. Arm, "Why are you stuttering when you see our little fairy Zhao Ning? Why are you here? Can't you see? You are injured. The doctor will treat you quickly."
Zhao Ning looked at the two wounds on his arms and found that they were almost recovered.
But she also agreed and said respectfully, "Zhao Ning really has something to come to Jade Doctor for repair."
Ji Xiu glanced at Zhao Ning and Yu Jingjue several times, "Is my senior brother still inside for interrogation? I'm going to find my senior brother, you two can talk." He understood that Zhao Ning had something to say to Yu Jingjue alone. , and left wisely.
There were only two people, Zhao Ning and Yu Jingjue, in the main hall. Yu Jingjue looked at Zhao Ning, sighed like a stick, and walked to the small consulting room on the left with his hands behind his back.
"Come this way."
Entering the consulting room, Yu Jingjue sat on the couch. He looked at Zhao Ning and was speechless for a long time.
He said, "I know you can see that the so-called senior in three years is me."
Zhao Ning bowed slightly and said nothing.
Just listen to Yu Jingjue continue to say, "Reviving the spirit and transforming the injury is indeed a magical power of my medical profession, but it is at the foundation-building level."
Zhao Ning raised her head. The spiritual pressure released by Yu Jingjue was very weak, but it did not mean that it was weak. Zhao Ning estimated that he was at least at an advanced level in Qi training.
"I am now at the Dzogchen state of Qi training. It stands to reason that I am only one step away from entering the foundation building state."
Zhao Ning's expression did not waver. In fact, from his expression, Zhao Ning knew that there was something more to say after this sentence.
"But in fact, I am originally in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is impossible to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm in the past few years, and my cultivation level may even be getting lower and lower. Do you understand? I will never have the chance to use this Soul Resurrection Injury Technique again. "
Zhao Ning looked at him, silent, with a heavy stone in her heart, leaving only a trace of strength struggling to support her.
Perhaps Zhao Ning's silence made Yu Jingjue feel unbearable, so he added, "Little girl, if I didn't want to help you, I would have known that you were a kind girl that day at the Ancient Medical Hall. Even Qin Keyuan told me Let me tell you that this little girl is stubborn and persistent, so I can help you if I can. But, Miss Zhao Ning, I have my own persistent matters, and I will not make any exceptions until they are resolved."
He stood up and said with rare solemnity, "I have to finish my words. Maybe one day in the future, after my work is completed, I can return to the foundation and come back to help you no matter what. In this way, Miss Zhao Ning, please Go back."
He no longer went to see Zhao Ning, but put his hands behind his back and lowered his head to leave the consulting room.
"Do you want to resurrect someone?"
Zhao Ning suddenly said from behind him, her tone was extremely calm, as if all Yu Jingjue's rejection just now had no impact on her.
Yu Jingjue suddenly paused. He slowly turned around and saw Zhao Ning taking out a rather large jade box.
She opened the jade box. There were eighteen kinds of medicinal materials stacked in the box, either thousand-year-old elixirs or mutant plants.
"Zhao Ning saw the list of medicinal materials that Dr. Yu wanted to collect last time. These medicinal materials were extremely difficult to collect, but Zhao Ning was blessed by the immortal and collected them all." She closed the jade box and looked at Yu Jingjue's trembling eyes. Staring at the jade box, she approached slowly, "Zhao Ning knows a little about the elixirs in this. Most of them are for fixing the soul and repairing the body. I think Dr. Jade must have someone he values who wants to save him."
She handed over the jade box and said, "Please ask Doctor Jade to accept it."
Yu Jingjue's mouth was slightly open, as if he could not speak anymore. His eyes were almost fixed on the jade box handed to him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but when the jade box touched his palm, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
