The Bajiang border is surrounded by mountains on three sides, rivers and lakes on one side, and a plain with a radius of dozens of miles in the middle.
There are many buildings in the plain, including stone houses and wooden ones, all of which are quite simple.
Thousands of monks and mortals were walking back and forth, almost like a market in the world.
According to Xu Jingyu, in addition to the natives of the Nanzhu Sect, there are generally three types of monks who enter the Ba territory.
The first type of business involves monks from different sects bringing samples of various cultivation materials and coming here to discuss business.
Zhao Lin and others came in under this banner.
The second type of people come here to inquire about information. The Ba territory is located at the junction of six sects. Frequent monks come and go, bringing news from various sects. The monks communicate with each other here and exchange their respective information.
The third type is to simply play and relax, enjoy the scenery here, and get rid of the inner demons caused by cultivation.
"Two shuttle boats come in and out every day. You can't stay here for more than twenty days. Also, you can't use attack spells in the market, otherwise the patrol will not be polite to arrest people."
The boundary shuttle boat made a circle in the sky and landed near the market. Nanzhu Sect, who controlled the spirit boat, said coldly.
The battle that happened more than 600 years ago has left many Nanzhu Sect monks in their hearts and they are hostile to the people of Chenghua Sect.
After all, this was someone else's territory, so everyone didn't say anything, got off the shuttle boat, and walked straight to the market.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, there are three of us in a team, do you want to join?"
Lu Liancheng extended an invitation to Zhao Lin.
"No need, Fellow Daoist Du and I are on the same team."
Zhao Lin responded politely that the reward for the task of killing He Shanfeng was 25,000 good deeds. The more people who participated, the less they would get.
He hopes to get at least fifteen thousand good deeds and does not want to join anyone else's team.
Lu Liancheng didn't force it. The eight people were divided into three teams. Lu Liancheng took two people, the sword cultivator also brought two people, Zhao Lin and Du Zhen were in one team.
Entering the market, the three teams separated.
Arriving at the square in the center of the market, Du Zhen whispered: "I know a few people who sell information. I'm going to inquire about them."
Zhao Lin nodded, "Okay, I'll take a stroll and meet here in an hour."
There are many stalls in the market with all kinds of novelty gadgets.
Zhao Lin walked around for a while and saw many cultivation items that he had heard of before but had never seen before.
I even saw someone selling Chongqiao pills at a stall, but I didn’t know if they were real or fake.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want a half-building elixir?"
When passing a stall, a dark-skinned monk said mysteriously.
"Half-building pill?"
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment before he remembered what kind of elixir it was.
The effect of the Half-Building Pill is similar to that of the Foundation-Building Pill, but its efficacy is much worse than the real Foundation-Building Pill. The person who made the pill was proud of himself and named it Half-Building Pill.
Some monks who could not afford the Foundation Establishment Pill used this medicine instead of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and many of them were successful.
However, in general, the efficacy of half-building pills is difficult to guarantee, and it is far inferior to the real foundation-building pills.
Zhao Lin smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.
After walking around for a while, I felt that it was almost time, so I returned to the square to wait for Du Zhen.
After a while, Du Zhen came back.
Brought a map and a message.
The map is called "Hunting Map of Ba Border", which records the distribution of monsters and spiritual plants in Ba Border, as well as their levels and the areas they frequent.
The level of monsters in Bajiang is generally not high, but there are several popular monsters and beasts, such as the popular dolphin and the wind sparrow.
The monsters themselves are not very valuable, but they move quickly and are difficult to catch. Some monks come here to catch monsters and beasts to experience the fun of hunting.
"This is good stuff!"
Zhao Lin praised that although the Ba territory is not large, it is several hundred miles in radius. If you want to search every area, twenty days is simply not enough.
He Shanfeng definitely needs spiritual energy to maintain his cultivation in this world. It is difficult to rely solely on the spiritual energy provided by spiritual stones for a long time.
With this picture, we can roughly judge the distribution of spiritual energy and provide a reference for searching for He Shanfeng.
Zhao Lin studied for a while, marked the suspicious location with a red pen, raised his head and asked, "Brother Du just said there is another news, what is it?"
Du Zhen lowered his voice and said: "One of the seven monks sent by the sect last time was named Wei Daguan. Before he disappeared, someone saw him in the Wulu Mountain area."
"Ulu Mountain?"
Zhao Lin immediately looked back at the map and found that Wulu Mountain was one of the places he had circled.
"Is this news accurate?"
"I'm not 100% sure about the news of buying ten spiritual stones."
Zhao Lin nodded, reached out and clicked on the map, "Okay, the spiritual energy here in Wulu Mountain is relatively richer than elsewhere, so let's start here."
"It's our first day in the small world. Our bodies still need to adapt. Let's rest for a night and set off tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, let's all follow the arrangements of Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Du Zhen trusted Zhao Lin in every possible way and naturally had no objection.
There is a distinction between day and night in the Pakistan border, but it is not very obvious. There is no dazzling sunlight during the day and it is only dim at night.
Zhao Lin and Du Zhen spent a spiritual stone and rented a wooden house to live in.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lin and Du Zhen left the market and headed to Wulu Mountain.
Ulu Mountain is located in the northern part of Pakistan's border. It is about 100 feet high and has lush forests.
The two of them climbed all the way to the top of the mountain. Looking around, they saw smoke flowing between the mountains and fields, and clouds and mist lingering.
Zhao Lin concentrated his spiritual power on his eyes and performed the Perfect Level Qi-Wang Technique.
The scenery in front of me changed, and the surface of all the scenery was covered with a layer of color, green air, white air, gray air, black air...
These colors actually correspond to spiritual energy, yin energy, evil spirit, and corpse energy.
Zhao Lin looked at it for a while and had a rough idea. He released Li Feng from the beast-controlling bag and sent out a divine thought.
"Li Feng, there is spiritual energy overflowing in the valley over there, go over there and have a look."
"good."
Li Feng sent back his spiritual thoughts, flapped his wings and flew towards the valley.
Zhao Lin took Du Zhen and headed straight to the other side.
After walking a short distance, I suddenly noticed that the color of the land under my feet was different from other places.
"What's this?"
Zhao Lin stopped, grabbed a handful of soil and observed it.
"It's the trace of the fire talisman being burned."
Du Zhen also grabbed a handful of soil and said firmly: "After the fire talisman is released, it will usually turn into ashes, but because the spiritual energy here is thin, the power of the talisman is greatly reduced, and the talisman did not burn out."
Zhao Lin glanced at Du Zhen in surprise.
"The Taoist art I initially chose was to make talismans, so I had some knowledge of talismans. But later I thought it was too much effort, so I gave up halfway."
Du Zhen explained.
Zhao Lin nodded slowly, "Is it possible that the talisman was placed by Wei Daguan?"
Du Zhen said: "It's hard to say."
One day passed, Zhao Lin, Du Zhen, and Li Feng searched more than a dozen places, but found nothing suspicious.
On the second and third days, they continued to expand the search area and searched all places with spiritual energy in Ulu Mountain and its surroundings, but still found nothing. (End of chapter)
