A few days later.
Qingshan City is already in sight.
This is a huge cultivation city located at the foot of the mountain. It is built on the mountain and is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Seen from a distance, Qingshan City and even the entire Qingshan Mountain are shrouded in clouds and mist. The towering light blue walls look like a giant dragon sleeping at the foot of the mountain. The invisible mountain-protecting formation, even if it is just close, can be seen by Yun He. Feel the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.
On the three avenues leading to Qingshan City, monks come and go in an endless stream.
There were also many monks, like Yunhe and the others, flying magical weapons at low altitudes, making whistling sounds one after another.
No matter where you look at it, Qingshan City is not comparable to Hongye City.
"Is this your first time to Qingshan City, Fellow Daoist Yun?"
Ma Boyuan on the boat asked with a smile, and his attitude was much better than when they first met.
"yes."
Yun He stood at the head of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the majestic fairy city, and responded softly.
"There is a second-level spiritual vein under the Qingshan Mountain. Although most of the spiritual energy is intercepted by the Evergreen Sect, the spiritual energy dispersed in Qingshan City also has the effect of the spiritual vein. It is not as good as the first-level spiritual vein, but it is not much different." Ma Boyuan introduced road.
Can the spiritual energy that escapes during interception reach this level?
No wonder so many monks flocked to Qingshan City like crucian carp crossing a river.
Because of that line of foundation of immortality.
"Yunhe, look!"
The fat Taoist priest Qian Dajiang on the side suddenly spoke.
The sound of elegant music mingling with bells and bells could be heard faintly. Yunhe looked in the direction pointed by Qian Dajiang and saw a huge black and red ship slowly approaching from the southeast.
What a huge treasure ship this is. Its huge body almost occupies half of the sky. Its hull is Cuiwei and its masts are towering. It is like a mountain being carried by a huge force.
A four-story colorful building with carved railings was raised in the middle of the ship. The roof rests on a hill, and the corners have cornices. The layers of fish-scale bright tiles shine in the sun, making it very lively.
Compared with this treasure ship, the Ma family's treasure ship is more like a small boat and is completely incomparable.
Seeing this huge treasure ship, Ma Boyuan's expression became much more solemn and he said seriously:
"This is the treasure ship of the Evergreen Sect. It is not only covered with the spirit gathering formation, but also protected by the second-level formation. Once the formation is activated, even the foundation-building overhaul will be extremely difficult to break. Even if the killing formation is activated, the foundation-building overhaul will It’s also dangerous to enter.”
He smiled tightly and helplessly.
"Compared with it, my Ma family's treasure ship is like mud."
Yun He withdrew his gaze.
"Why should you, fellow Taoist, commit suicide? How many forces can afford a treasure ship like this?"
"What fellow Taoist said is true."
soon.
Ma Boyuan's iron leaf boat landed at the west gate of Qingshan City.
Qingshan City stipulates that if there are no Evergreen Sect monks in the city, only foundation-building monks can fly in the city.
"By the way, I'll return this to fellow Taoist. Thank you for helping me save a lot of spiritual stones."
After getting off the iron leaf boat, Yun He took out a jade slip and handed it to Ma Boyuan.
In this jade slip, the geography of the Qingshan Domain is recorded in detail, and some places where dangerous monsters are entrenched are also marked. If you go to Fangshi to buy it, you will get at least a few spiritual stones.
Ma Boyuan took the jade slip and said with some embarrassment:
"Ashamed, ashamed, due to family regulations, the map recording the caravan route is not allowed to be circulated, otherwise another map will be updated..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man wearing a servant's clothes running from the side of the gate.
Panting, he said: "Old, eldest young master, my ancestor is calling you."
Hearing this, Ma Boyuan's expression suddenly changed.
Knowing that some things cannot be avoided, he cupped his hands towards Yun He and said:
"Fellow Daoist Yun, it seems that Ma has to take the first step."
Yun He also responded with a bow.
"That's right."
"No matter what happens in the future, fellow Taoists can go to the Ma family's residence to look for Ma. My Ma family has lived in Qingshan City for a hundred years and is quite famous."
"must!"
Watching Yun He enter Qingshan City with the waiter, he narrowed his eyes.
There are dozens of people in the Ma family's caravan, so much supplies, but now only Ma Boyuan has returned. It has broken the foundation-building seed of Ma Shaoyuan, a great Qi practitioner. Ma Boyuan is afraid that he will inevitably be punished by his family.
But judging from his appearance, he should have been mentally prepared.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, let's take the first step. If you need us for anything later, just ask and never refuse!"
Three people behind him also came up, and one of them, a middle-aged man, bowed.
There are two men and one woman. The one who spoke is named Wei Yijun, the slightly younger one is named Qi Yang, and the female is Lu Yan. This is not the first time for the three of them to come to Qingshan City. I think they have already found a way to arrange their stay before setting off. point, or there are friends living here.
Both Ma Boyuan and these three people were very polite to Yun He. Naturally, this was because their trip was not peaceful. They encountered many monsters during the trip, and Yun He took action several times as a last resort.
He didn't show too much, but his moderate strength in the late stage of Qi refining was enough to win respect.
After all, not all monks can display corresponding strength as soon as they break through the late stage of Qi refining.
This undoubtedly shows that Yunhe still has the potential for improvement, and it is this potential that Ma Boyuan values.
"Okay, fellow Taoists, please come."
Yun He cupped his hands.
After the three of them told Yun He where they were staying in the city, they left without stopping.
Being able to come back alive gave them hope for the future.
"Yunhe, where are we?"
Only Yun He and Qian Dajiang were left, two "stupid greens" who had just come to Qingshan City.
"Well, let's find a place to stay first, have a good rest, and then plan what happens next." Yun He thought for a while.
"That's fine."
Unknowingly, the two of them were divided into priorities. Qian Dajiang was vaguely led by Yun He, but they themselves did not notice this.
The two entered the city.
Suddenly a strong spiritual energy hit his face.
"What a rich aura!" Qian Dajiang sighed.
Not to mention Hongye City, even in Hejianfang City, Yun He had never felt such a rich aura.
Breathing the air in the city, even the silent sharpness in the body slowly started to move spontaneously.
The city is warm as spring, with lush flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the streets, row upon row of buildings in the distance, and bustling with people.
I remember Qian Dajiang said that when Yunhe entered Hongye City, he looked around like a country man who had never seen the market. This time, it was his turn to look around while walking.
On the other hand, Yun He, after learning the lesson from Hongye City, walked down the street with a calm expression.
Soon the two of them found an inn called "Zhuxianfang" to stay.
A single room requires one low-grade spiritual stone every ten days. The price makes the two of them speechless. They dare not imagine how expensive a house in Qingshan City would be.
After the two of them had a free meal provided by the inn, they returned to their rooms.
to be honest.
These days, even though they are both monks, they are very tired and need to completely relax and rest to relax their nerves that have been tense for several days.
But Qian Dajiang can sleep.
Yunhe still has some things to deal with.
...
Castle Peak.
The Ma family's residence, in the courtyard.
There is a gathering of spiritual energy inside, with rockery and waterside pavilions, lush trees, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.
The temperature inside is constant all year round, and the aura is rich. The concentration of aura is several levels higher than that in Qingshan City.
Ma Zhennan, the ancestor of the Ma family, was lying on a recliner, closing his eyes and relaxing, listening to Ma Boyuan in front of him reporting on the trip.
Ma Zhennan is dressed in yellow cedar. He has white hair and a childlike face. He is energetic and has hidden vitality.
But if there are monks who are also in the foundation building stage here, they will find that Ma Zhennan seems to be energetic, but in fact there is a wisp of black energy lingering in Yintang. The outer body is full but the inner body is depleted. It is obvious that the end of the foundation building stage is not far away.
After listening to Ma Boyuan's story, Ma Zhennan slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.
"Hey, it's just a few supplies. You can collect the treasure ship later, and then ask the Evergreen Sect's weapon refiner to help repair it."
"Yes, ancestor!"
Ma Zhennan let out a long sigh again, and his whole body seemed to have aged a bit.
"It's a pity Shaoyuan..."
"Ancestor, it's my fault for not taking good care of Shao Yuan. Please punish me, Ancestor!" Ma Boyuan knelt on the ground with a bang and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Ma Boyuan kneeling on the ground, Ma Zhennan's cloudy eyes flickered.
For a moment, the courtyard fell into absolute silence. Ma Boyuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and his long gown on his back was soaked.
After a while, Ma Zhennan spoke again, his voice a little more solemn.
"That night, was there really no clue?"
Ma Boyuan lowered his head in deep thought, and after pondering for a while, he said:
"Boyuan didn't find any clues. The second-order monster...is really too difficult for us..."
"Too."
Ma Zhennan stood up and walked to a pot of flowers before he finished speaking.
"Even if I encounter a second-level monster, it's hard to say whether I will win or lose, let alone you."
After a pause, he spoke again:
"Boyuan, you are good with words, good at making friends, and good at dancing. Hang out with your friends more, my Ma family... will not be what it used to be."
"I saved it, ancestor."
"Go ahead."
Ma Zhennan waved his hand.
After hearing this, Ma Boyuan stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, bowed and bowed, and then slowly retreated.
However, when he retreated to the entrance of the courtyard, Ma Zhennan's voice again made him stiffen slightly.
"Boyuan, are you already at the eighth level of Qi refining?"
Ma Boyuan turned around quickly, his face full of shame.
"Yes, ancestor. Boyuan is stupid and far inferior to Shaoyuan. This disappoints the ancestor."
This time Ma Zhennan said nothing and just nodded.
Ignoring Ma Boyuan who called him to leave again, Ma Zhennan just looked at the flowers in front of him.
This flower seems to be blooming well, but in fact it has been a few years old, and I don’t know how many more times it will bloom again.
There are five flowers in total on it.
One of them bloomed extremely brightly and eye-catchingly, but it seemed a little "lonely" and jumped out of the flowerpot like a school of its own. While the remaining four flowers, although not as eye-catching as it, were tightly clustered together, with three surrounding them. The relatively larger one in the middle shows another kind of beauty.
"well--"
Ma Zhennan sighed softly, took a pair of scissors from the table nearby, and pointed it at the rhizome of the most eye-catching flower.
He hesitated for a long time.
It was cut with a "click".
Then he took care of the other four flowers carefully, especially the one clustered in the middle.
...
In a guest room on the third floor of "Zhuxianfang".
Yun He, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, gently played with a piece of meat the size of a palm in his hand.
The texture of the muscles is extremely distinct, and even the meat is a bit translucent. Not only does it not have any fishy smell, it even exudes a light fragrance.
He could feel that the monster body had completed its breakthrough and successfully entered the first-stage late-stage monster level.
He took a slight breath, moved his hands, and closed his eyes.
The next second.
The piece of meat in his hand suddenly disappeared!
The bright eyes suddenly opened again, shining brightly.
His lips moved and he spit out three words:
"Shou, four hundred!"
