Tiannan, Yue country.
The Taiyue Mountains are vast, with clouds and mist shrouding the mountains.
Several men and women in the dense forest were walking through the forest. They were about to walk out of the forest, but they heard a male cultivator leading them yelling: "Who is that?"
There was a commotion in the forest, and three monks jumped out.
Looking up and down at this group of dusty monks, they seemed to come from far away.
"Hmph, kid, be smart and hand over the storage bag..."
The leader Jie Xiu took out the Ghost Head Sword weapon to intimidate all the guests.
"You look like you are from out of town. Haven't you heard of the names of our three heroes of the Zhong family?"
"Jie Xiu?"
Not only did the men and women who were stopped not panic, but they looked at the three Qi Refining monks with joking eyes.
Feeling a little guilty after seeing the weird looks in the eyes of these men and women, the three heroes of the Zhong family angrily drove a magic weapon and stabbed them towards them.
Unexpectedly, a weak woman in the team raised her hand and slapped the magic weapon in pieces.
A section of the magical weapon was broken, flying upside down and inserted into the ground.
The constantly shaking sharp blade made the Zhong brothers' legs tremble. Their legs softened and they knelt on the ground with their heads on the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, you are just joking!"
You must know that the Zhong brothers dared to block the road and rob, and the three brothers were all 'big' monks above the eighth level of Qi refining.
The magic weapon that was broken by the woman's palm just now is also a very rare and high-quality magic weapon!
The only ones who can break magical weapons with the help of physical palms and some spiritual power are at least foundation-building monks.
How could a bunch of little guys like them be offended?
"Kneel down so quickly?"
The man in yellow beside the woman said disdainfully.
"Compared to the ruthless bandits and cultivators in Beiliang, are these the cultivators from our hometown, Yue Country?"
"Chengfeng, don't talk too much."
The leader, a middle-aged monk, has a chest-length beard and a square face. Although he is weathered, he still looks dignified.
"That's right, idiot, you revealed our details..."
The woman also pouted and said to her cousin dissatisfied.
The man in yellow also doted on the woman. He immediately clasped his hands and said to the female nun: "Yi Qian, hehe, didn't I see no one along the way? Isn't it too uncomfortable to hold back too many words?"
The female cultivator pointed her fingers, and a red needle flew past.
Six big holes were opened in the knees of the three monks, making the three Qi Lian monks surnamed Zhong cry for father and mother immediately.
There was another burst of ghost crying and wolf howling, which made the middle-aged man a little upset. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you can catch him alive. Chengfeng, you go and interrogate him."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Chengfeng cupped his hands and said to the middle-aged Chen Qiaotian.
After some questioning, everyone learned a lot of information, and the three Zhong family robbery cultivators also understood that this person was a good person.
He cried bitterly and begged for mercy: "Sir, we are also forced to have no choice. Are you fellows of the six sects of Yue?"
The middle-aged man Chen Qiaotian frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
The three of them felt the pressure of the golden elixir exposed by Chen Qiaotian, and immediately said with trembling expressions, not daring to hide anything: "Sir, since the civil war in the demonic realm of the Yue Kingdom a few years ago, it is said that our comrades from the Yue Kingdom have also returned after hearing the news. Quite a few..."
"The three of us are disciples of Huadaowu!"
Listening to the three Zhongs saying that they are the children of Huadaowu, Chen Yiqian couldn't help but sneer and stare at the three people and sneered: "Since you see that we are not natives of Yue country, how can you prove that we are the Huadaowu you said? Where are your disciples?"
"The fathers of the three of us were the Qi Refining disciples of Huadaowu back then. Later, after the Yue Kingdom was conquered by the Demonic Way, he fled to the Zijin Kingdom. He lived in exile in many small countries for many years and gave birth to the three of us. Later we learned After the land of Yue Kingdom escaped from the control of the devil, I, like you, also had the idea to return to Yue Kingdom..."
Listening to these three people's well-founded stories about their experiences, Chen Qiaotian also began to believe what these three people said.
Chen Chengfeng stood aside and said, "Sir, although these three people are cunning, what they said should be good."
Chen Qiaotian nodded.
Back then, he was also an experiencer of the demonic invasion. The ancestor of Huadaowu was the first Nascent Soul monk to die suddenly, so the Huadaowu monks were also the first sect to collapse.
Precisely because this sect collapsed first, the largest number of disciples fled.
There is no need to use peripheral disciples to attract firepower like the Yellow Maple Valley of Yue Kingdom.
"I never thought that my comrades back then would actually become tribulation cultivators..."
Chen Qiaotian sighed and said, "Then I won't be able to keep you anymore."
After the three of them heard this, their expressions changed immediately and they begged for mercy: "Sir, we are also in trouble and have to rob our homes and homes here!"
"snort!"
Chen Qiaotian snorted.
"It's just an excuse. Who can force you to rob..."
"this……"
The three of them looked miserable when they heard the words. Listening to Chen Qiaotian's unforgivable words, they said with a strong desire for survival: "Sir, although the land of Yue Kingdom is now free from the control of the devil, under the two forces, we are trapped by these two The forces are so crowded that there is no chance of survival!"
"oh?"
Chen Qiaotian became interested.
This time, he led the team back to the Yue Kingdom and heard about the changes in the Yue Kingdom. Some people in the Yellow Maple Valley also had differences of opinion.
The Chen family are also the most determined 'returnists'.
Therefore, after some consultations, the 'advance team' led by the Chen family was dispatched.
With Chen Qiaotian, the golden elixir monk, as the backbone, he also sent some of the outstanding foundation builders from the sect to accompany him.
Therefore, even though they were trekking in the forest, the lowest cultivation level of the group was to build a foundation.
That's why Chen Yiqian laughed so happily when she saw these three Qi Refining monks dared to rob them!
Chen Qiaotian didn't care about his daughter's mood, but asked about the recent changes in the country of Yue.
The three brothers have all become tribulation cultivators and know very little information.
There is no detailed information in a few sentences.
However, the information reported by the three people also gave Chen Qiaotian a new concept of Yue.
A man walked out of the team, with a purple-robed red hair and a bow, and said, "Master Chen, can this person's words be trusted?"
The man in purple robe and red hair is Lei Qianjun, a disciple of Lei Wanhe, the golden elixir cultivator in the sect.
Back then, Huang Maple Valley broke through the siege, and too many monks died.
After decades of cultivation in Beiliang, a new generation has appeared.
Chen Qiaotian pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Nephew Lei, what do you think?"
Lei Qianjun thought for a while and said: "According to these three thieves, the land of Yue should not be in chaos, but why do these three people not settle down and plunder casual cultivators on the border?"
When the three of them heard Lei Qianjun's question, they immediately replied: "The villain is also fooled by lard. Although this country of Yue is very stable and prosperous, life is not that easy. The three of me traveled to many countries with my father when we were young. I have experienced enough suffering as a casual cultivator. Although I am very keen on improving my own cultivation, although elixirs are sold in the country of Yue, the price is very painful for the three of me, so I can only take the risk of robbing casual cultivators at the border..."
After hearing this, Chen Qiaotian couldn't help but nodded secretly.
According to the information obtained from Huang Maple Valley, the Demonic Path experienced a great war in the land of Yue.
However, the three key pieces of information about the cause, participants, and results of that war have been firmly suppressed by the devil. Without it being disseminated, it would be difficult for Yellow Maple Valley to know the specific information.
Only along the way, Chen Qiaotian inquired about it and finally got some information.
For example, a group of monks from the Ghost Spirit Sect massacred hundreds of cities with blood ships.
This news spread widely in Zijin and Cheqi Kingdom.
Some people say that it was because the Ghost Spirit Sect slaughtered the city, which aroused the anger of the Yuling Sect, so they started a fight with the Ghost Spirit Sect in the Yue Kingdom, and the forces of the Demon Flame Sect and the Righteous Way were mixed in.
In the end, the battle got out of control and affected the entire Demonic Path.
The Hehuan Sect also suffered heavy losses in this war.
The entire demonic power was weakened by two levels.
This news shocked Chen Qiaotian. You must know that when the demon invaded the entire Tiannan land, not even one layer of manpower was lost in total!
What happened in the land of Yue?
Huang Maple Valley was very curious.
It is precisely for these reasons that Chen Qiaotian was able to make the trip.
Otherwise, given the situation that Huang Maple Valley was in Beiliang, how could a golden elixir be allowed to travel millions of miles away to find out information?
"We still need to investigate this matter ourselves."
Chen Qiaotian listened to 30% of what these three people said.
"However, according to these three brothers, the environment in Yue Country is very peaceful, but it is also slightly xenophobic, so the three brothers cannot get along well..."
Lei Qianjun nodded and said, "Master Chen, let's find a market and go in and take a look and we'll know?"
"good!"
Chen Qiaotian nodded in agreement.
Walking along the ridge all the way, with the Zhong brothers guiding the way, the group did not take the wrong path and soon found a market.
"Aozora City!"
Chen Qiaotian looked at the city hidden in the mist, shook his head and said: "This place was originally a family residence, but I never thought it would become a city."
After the Zhong brothers swallowed the elixir, their magic power was blocked but they could still speak.
Then he explained: "Sir, fifty years ago, an adult erected a monument and set up a formation here..."
Chen Qiaotian listened to the story, nodded and asked, "Are we going to enter this city?"
All the Huang Maple Valley monks nodded.
Along the way, they were in a country controlled by demons and did not dare to fly with swords at will.
When we arrived at Yue Kingdom, we continued on foot.
Along the way, even if everyone was building a foundation at the lowest level, the three brothers of the Zhong family thought they were rogue cultivators because of their tired appearance.
Without hesitation, the group entered Fangshi.
It is a cyan light shield and can be entered and exited at will. There is no door at all and there is no entrance fee.
"Hey, don't you charge city fees?"
Chen Yiqian looked at this scene with some surprise.
"Yes, sir, there are no included fees here, and there are no entrances or exits. The monks can enter and exit from any direction, so it is not easy to ambush at the entrances and exits..."
When it comes to their "robbery experiences," the three brothers speak clearly.
Obviously, he was both pleased and a little disgusted by the random markets in Yue State.
The good news is that when the three brothers come to buy things, they don't have to worry about being robbed outside.
I hate it because this setting makes it difficult for them to rob others.
Therefore, they can only force the three of them to try their luck at the border and bump into a few unlucky foreigners who want to come to Vietnam.
"good."
Chen Qiaotian stretched out his hand and pressed it, which penetrated the protective shield.
Several people also passed through the protective shield together. While penetrating the protective shield of Fangshi's formation, a ball above his head flashed, which made Chen Qiaotian's heart feel cold, as if he was being looked at from head to toe.
"How is this going?"
Several monks in Huang Maple Valley were also shocked.
This method of 'peeping' does not hide it at all, it directly tells you that I have 'seen' you.
The Zhong brothers quickly explained: "Sir, this is the 'Heaven Mirror', a magic weapon installed by the local power Spirit Beast Mountain. It is said to have the ability to record and break the disguise of monks. Other than that, it has no special effects. My brothers and I have intercepted and killed many monks, but we have never been punished by this mirror."
"Oh, then what does this thing do?"
Chen Yiqian raised her head and glanced at the intricately patterned bronze mirror and asked.
"It is said that fighting is not allowed within the formation. If there is a fight between monks, then the formation shield will be opened, no entry is allowed, and no exit is allowed. The authenticity mirror above the head will also be opened to record the situation in Fang City. It is said that Can we directly contact the main sect of Spirit Beast Mountain, and then let the sect decide whether to suppress the chaos?"
"Suppress the chaos?"
Chen Qiaotian stopped and asked.
"That's right. Even if it's suppressed... I've only heard that the monks of the Spiritual Beast Mountain Sect have a way to drop a few monster beasts into the city through the air, and then drive these monster beasts to kill the enemy!"
"What level of monster is it?"
Chen Qiaotian asked, stroking his beard.
"The pill-forming monster!"
"Energy formation..."
Several Huang Maple Valley monks were also startled.
Even these monks, who have been through life and death for several times, have never seen a real core-forming monster beast a few times.
"Is Spirit Beast Mountain so rich?"
Chen Chengfeng looked yearning after hearing this.
Chen Yiqian, with her hands behind her back, looked at the monks setting up stalls on the roadside. Some casual monks seemed to have no interest in shouting, and only had a few lines of words and a few items written on a piece of cloth.
"Hey, isn't their business doing well?"
Chen Yiqian asked, recalling Fangshi in her memory.
"Why are these people not willing to shout?"
"snort!"
The eldest son of the Zhong family said disdainfully.
"Fairy, this group of casual cultivators only have some defective goods on hand. They probably know that they can't be sold, so they set up a stall to deal with some leftover goods. They don't expect to sell them for a big price at all!"
"Are these things very good?"
Chen Yiqian looked at a talisman and said curiously.
"Talks made from seven-star grass..."
"Fairy, who is still using talismans now? We in Yue country all use talismans made of monster fur!"
Zhong Laoer suddenly spoke, showing off somewhat proudly.
This scene also stunned everyone in Huang Maple Valley.
Afterwards, several people entered the store.
There were many products on display in the store, and a beautiful female nun came to receive them.
"Is the customer buying? Or selling?"
Chen Qiaotian took out a wooden box from his arms, revealing a small piece of dark cloud wrought iron inside.
"Hey, Frosty Cloud Forge Iron?"
The female cultivator did not take action and looked at Chen Qiaotian.
"Senior, why not go to the second floor?"
"Can!"
Chen Qiaotian nodded.
As the female cultivator went up to the second floor, a shopkeeper came out to receive the reception. After asking the maid to serve tea, he asked: "Guest, Shuangyun wrought iron is a good material, and the shop can give you a good price..."
"Can I change some elixirs?"
Chen Qiaotian thought for a moment and asked.
The store owner immediately smiled and said: "No problem, the store also provides a full set of elixirs, as long as the customer can afford the price."
After saying that, he handed several brochures to the group of people.
Chen Qiaotian turned to the first page of the booklet and couldn't take his eyes away.
"Foundation Building Pill, three thousand spirit stones, single purchase is limited to three. To lift the restriction, you need level C permission once..."
"So many good things!"
Chen Yiqian looked at the elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans on the booklet and said with a shocked expression.
“And it’s so cheap!”
"Is this my father's long-forgotten hometown of Yueguo?"
Chen Qiaotian looked at the restrictions and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is level C authority once?"
"Haha, the guest is new. I want you to know that this level C authority is also of great use in the country of Yue. This is a test unique to our country of Yue. See the sky mirror in the center of Fang City under the sky mirror of Fang City. That copper pillar? There is a technique with a monster pattern engraved on it. As long as you understand the technique, you can probably obtain the Geng level authority. If you enter your own cultivation insights into the copper pillar, you can get the corresponding permission. Corresponding permissions..."
