Just like other places in Nanman.
To enter the Shahu Oasis, you also need to pay a city fee, which is called a "security fee" in local parlance. The forces here gave it such a name, which seems to show its rationality.
A spiritual stone is not expensive.
Lu Zhong handed over the spirit stone and walked into the city. After passing through the city wall and a thin protective shield, the originally dry and hot air suddenly became moist.
At the same time, the spiritual energy suddenly became rich.
Compared with the harsh environment outside, the interior of the oasis is indeed much more livable.
It seems to be a festival in Tiandao Territory.
Pedestrians are crowded on the road, and from a distance you can see a mass of black heads. The festive atmosphere is particularly strong.
On both sides of the street in front of them, various store flags fluttered in the wind. It also has a bit of the local characteristics of the Heavenly Sword Territory. The monks here like to hold banners, so the streets are full of colorful signs and slogans.
Yingquan Water is now on sale, hurry up if you want to buy it!
The Sand Scorpion Caravan is recruiting new members, and talented people from all walks of life are welcome to sign up! (Note in small print next to it) Priority will be given to those who practice water magic and exercises.
The matchmaker's marriage center helps you create a bridge of immortal love!
Lu Zhong took a few more glances and found it a bit interesting.
Especially the slogan at the end can be regarded as another feature of Tiandaoyu. Compared with other places in the Southern Barbarians, in the Tiandao Territory where immortals and mortals commonly live together, there are obviously more cases of intermarriage between monks and mortals.
We stopped and walked along the way and bought a lot of special food.
Soon he arrived in front of "Tianyan Mansion".
There is an endless flow of people here, and it is no surprise that the Foundation Establishment Master is here. Even Jindan Master can be seen occasionally. While Lu Zhong is slightly frightened, he can't help but admire the Tianyan lineage's ability to do business.
He was not in a hurry to go in, and first inquired about the situation.
When you come to Tianyan Mansion to deduce secrets, you must first explain your needs. Only after Tianyan Mansion has assessed the risks will they give you the required fees. If the assessed risk is too high, there is even a possibility of rejection.
Not all the monks who come here can get the results they want.
What most people can get is basically a vague prophecy.
After understanding the situation, Lu Zhong walked into Tianyan Mansion and stated his needs. He soon received a reply, and he had to pay a fee of 100,000 spirit stones.
"So cheap?" He was slightly startled.
Then he reacted and realized that he was used to being extravagant.
One hundred thousand spiritual stones is definitely an astonishing amount for ordinary monks. It is enough to train the young monk who has just completed introducing Qi into the body into a foundation-building true cultivator.
In other words, the price should be very high.
When Lu Zhong agreed, a deacon presented the spiritual contract. The terms were quite detailed, stipulating the respective obligations of both parties and the division of responsibilities in the event of unforeseen accidents.
"Please wait a moment, distinguished guest, we will make arrangements for you right away."
After saying that, the deacon took the signed spiritual contract and bowed out of the room.
This wait is a cup of tea.
Just when Lu Zhong was impatient, an old man in black cassock walked into the door, raised his hands and apologized: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. This is the result you wanted."
"Oh?" Lu Zhong took it and read it, his expression became uncertain.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say his luck was good or bad.
Regarding the whereabouts of half of the book page, Tianyan Mansion gave a clear location, which is located in Shaxuan Valley in the west. As for the Shaxuan Valley, which is located in the West Extreme Sword Territory, the world has undergone changes for so many years, and it is unknown what it has become. It is not easy to obtain half of the remaining page.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong did not choose to give up.
"Let's take a step and see..."
The only thing left to achieve the magical power of incarnation is the last half page. If you are afraid of difficulties and give up, it will be really hard to give up!
…
The first step to heading to the Western Territory is to repair the cross-border teleportation array.
After returning from the Heavenly Sword Territory, Lu Zhong first went back to the Bihai Sect, took a lot of formation materials, and then took the Sky Stone to the Poisonous Insect Valley.
Passing through Lvcuifang City.
Thirty years is enough time to make a huge difference.
Affected by the outbreak of the beast tide, this place has long been deserted.
Where can I still see the prosperity of the past?
As far as the eye can see, there is a green mountain top, with several ruins hidden among the luxuriant grass, and soon these traces will disappear, and everything will return to its original wild state.
From here, Lu Zhong descended to the ground.
Today, the Great Forest Sea in the north has become a paradise for monsters and beasts, and a forbidden area for human monks. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to hold his breath and sneak in.
Following the previous route, we soon came to a poisonous swamp.
"After all, it's still a thousand miles away from the Poisonous Insect Valley, right?" Lu Zhong looked at the boundless poisonous swamp in front of him, and couldn't help feeling surprised, and then a little worried.
Without control for such a long time, we still don’t know what the poisonous insect swarm will develop into.
Maybe a third-level individual has been born.
"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first." Lu Zhong thought of this and took a Five Treasure Pill in his mouth. This pill is a third-level pill that can detoxify most of the toxins in the southern barbarians.
A Five Treasure Pill is worth nearly ten thousand, but in order to preserve mana and deal with unexpected events, it is worth using it.
The elixir takes effect quickly.
The discomfort caused by the body's exposure to toxins immediately subsided like a tide.
After confirming that it was safe, he disappeared and rushed towards the Poisonous Insect Valley.
On the way, we met several swarms of poisonous insects, each numbering in the hundreds. From a distance, we could see a swarm of venomous insects, either carrying prey back to their nests, or spitting saliva everywhere.
Their saliva is poisonous, and after contaminating land and water sources, poisonous swamps will form over time.
"It's just like what's recorded in the classics."
Lu Zhong avoided these small swarms of insects and quickly reached the location of the former Poison Insect Valley. The original valley had been shrouded in thick poisonous mist, and from a distance it looked like a purple-black Poison Pool.
In this heavy poisonous mist, there are gourd-shaped insect nests one after another.
They are all green-spotted ghost insect nests.
Obviously, the green-spotted ghost insect is the final winner of the Poisonous Insect Valley.
After the rest of the insect swarm became defeated, they either fled here in a hurry, or were completely wiped out by the green-spotted ghost insect, leaving no single individual.
Turning around, we came to the old passage into the underground palace. As expected, it had been flooded by poisonous water. The only good news was that there were no traces of poisonous insect activity. As long as the poisonous water was eliminated, we could enter.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong took out a piece of "cangyicao" and drank it.
When he released the poisonous insect swarm, he had already anticipated the possibility of the insect swarm getting out of control, so the selected insect swarms were actually carefully selected.
Chrysanthema is specially designed to relieve the poison of green-spotted ghost insect.
Diving into the poisonous water, the body-protecting aura was corroded to the point of sizzling sound. The concentration of poisonous aura contained in the water was extremely high, and it had begun to corrode the body, but there was no need to worry about the presence of the lilac grass.
Go forward along the passage and after clearing the obstacles on the way, you will soon arrive at the underground palace.
Affected by the activities of poisonous insects, the magic circle he had left behind had long been damaged. The walls of the underground palace were chewed like a sieve, poisonous water filled the inside, and the teleportation array was severely damaged.
"Another big project!" Lu Zhong calculated the workload and his scalp felt a little numb.
But for the sake of external incarnation, he could only grit his teeth and do it.
Repair begins.
First set up several restrictions to press out the poisonous water in the underground palace, and then began to repair the walls of the underground palace, mainly using the "fossils into mud" spell. He mixed some ashes of "Yantooth" into the wall, a natural enemy of the green-spotted ghost bug. In this way, the green-spotted ghost bug will instinctively avoid this place, which can reduce the chance of damage to the underground palace.
After a lot of work, the underground palace was finally repaired.
In order to determine the effect of the ashes, Lu Zhong specifically used scene retrieval to conduct reconnaissance, and there were indeed signs of avoiding the green-spotted ghost bugs outside.
very good!
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started repairing the teleportation array.
The process is purely manual labor.
The difficulty in arranging the teleportation array lies in the calculation of precise spatial orientation, and the calculation results are reflected in the array. Lu Zhong has the assistance of gray fog space, so he only needs to reproduce it intact.
…
Yanhufang is close to Yanyan Lake, which is where the name comes from.
Every morning and evening, there will be hunting teams returning to the lakeside dock. They will stop at the dock area to sell prey, which are basically the eyeless monster fish in the Smoked Lake.
Eyeless monster fish is a general term.
There is no daylight all year round underground, so there is no need for such things as eyes. Most of the indigenous creatures here are blind and rely on other ways to obtain information.
Perhaps because it grew up in the Smoked Lake, the demon fish always smells of sulfur no matter how it is handled.
Today, when food is scarce, monks and ordinary people who cannot afford spiritual mushrooms can only use them to satisfy their hunger. The inedible monster fish is nothing compared to starving to death.
As the "sunlight array" on the top of the market gradually becomes brighter, more and more people come to the dock area to buy fish.
All the light in Yanhufang is provided by this array.
The formation rises and the formation ceases.
For the new generation of Westerners who had to live thousands of feet underground to avoid the contamination of the scarlet spiritual energy and had never seen the surface.
This is how the day looks to them.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, someone noticed a purple light appearing in the lake.
The purple light became more and more dazzling, and it was rapidly approaching the dock. When the monks on the shore saw this scene, no one dared to ignore it. They all pulled out their crudely made magic weapons and put on a defensive posture.
"Clang clang clang!"
The alarm bells rang loudly.
At the same time, the brightness of the solar array rose to its highest level, illuminating Yanhu Square in every detail.
The strong light penetrated the smoke of the Smoked Lake, and the people on the shore saw clearly that what was approaching from the lake was actually a purple flame, and the water vapor evaporated wherever it passed, bringing up a huge thick fog.
From a distance, it looks like an ancient beast is approaching.
"Is that a monk inside?" A monk who had practiced Qi-gazing was brave enough to take a look inside. He burst into tears and almost went blind, but he also saw something from inside.
"How could it be a monk!" A foundation-building cultivator who came over retorted.
The permeating purple flame exudes a terrifying aura that makes the soul tremble, and this is definitely not something that a monk can emit, at least she can't do it at this early stage of foundation building.
"Could it be the legendary Jin Dan Zhenren!"
Someone shouted something, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.
Since the establishment of Yanhufang, the monks here have never seen the real Jindan, so that in the eyes of the new generation of people, monks of this level have become legends.
Who would have thought that we would see him today!
Fear suddenly came over like a tide, drowning everyone on the dock.
Lu Zhong saw this scene from a distance, but he didn't expect that his appearance would frighten the people here.
Half a year ago, he finally repaired the teleportation array.
When I set foot in the Western Region again, what I saw was a horrifying sight.
As far as the eye can see, everything turns dark red, the earth is covered with scarlet pools of corruption, and the sky is filled with scarlet spiritual energy that is so rich that it is almost substantial.
Under such circumstances, traveling has become a difficult task.
After flying for less than half a day, the accumulated scarlet corrosion was enough to endanger his life, forcing him to stop and purify it with the Purple Nether Fire.
After all, the time spent on the road has not been much purified. Bayi Chinese website
So after discovering traces of monks' activities on the ground, we followed the ruins to find them.
So there was this scene.
Pressing on the bottom line of the monks on the shore, Lu Zhong stopped his progress and removed the Purple Nether Fire that purified the scarlet and corruption in his body, allowing his body to be revealed.
Looking at the old foundation-building monks on the shore, he could not help but frown as there was no fresh blood among them.
Only thirty years have passed, and the Western Immortal Cultivation World has already degraded to this extent?
At this rate of regression, it may not take more than a hundred years for the practitioners with the highest cultivation among the human race here to only have peak Qi-refining cultivation.
And these are all given by Him.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong picked up a ball of mud from the bottom of the lake and used the magic of turning mud into stone to form a rock pillar. Then he touched the storage ring in his left hand, took out ten thousand kilograms of rice from it, and piled it on top of the rock pillar.
"A small gift to show your sincerity."
Immediately, he looked at the people in the city and said, "Please send someone out to talk to me."
There was a commotion among the people on the shore after hearing this, and finally they recommended a late-stage Qi Refining monk, Li Yuming, who is now the owner of Yanhu Fang. With all the foundation-building cultivators guarding the city, Yanhufang was the only one left who was qualified to send out to discuss matters.
"Junior Li Yuming, I have met my senior!" Li Yuming said calmly.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but move his eyes to the pile of spiritual rice next to him.
Is this the spiritual rice recorded in the classics?
Crystal clear as jade, exuding an alluring fragrance. Not to mention that there is extremely rich spiritual energy in the spiritual rice, which is many times stronger than the spiritual mushrooms grown in the workshop.
Noticing this scene, Lu Zhong estimated that the value of spiritual rice to the monks here was several times higher than it had been in thirty years. But he estimated that these people would not be able to exchange any spiritual objects.
Otherwise, his cultivation level would not be so low.
"Answer me a few questions, and these spiritual rice can be given to you."
"Yes, senior!" Li Yuming suppressed his excitement.
"Is there a large settlement nearby?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Twenty years ago, a monk who claimed to be Ye Ling Immortal City arrived and said that this city was five thousand miles northwest of Fang City. At this time, this was the only information that I knew."
"Yeling Fairy City?" Lu Zhong looked strange after hearing this.
As far as he knew, this city had been reduced to a dead place thirty years ago.
Now that the changes in the world are intensifying, where can there be monks?
Seeing that he only got this answer, he asked the next question.
"Do you have any means to get rid of the scarlet aura?"
The reason why Lu Zhong asked this was because he found that the monks here had no traces of being corroded by the scarlet aura, which showed that they most likely had mastered the means of purification.
"Senior, we mainly rely on taking dried scarlet mushroom powder to eliminate the influence of scarlet aura." Li Yuming said, taking out a bottle of red mushroom powder from his pocket.
"This is scarlet mushroom dry powder, but although it can purify scarlet aura, it is highly poisonous, so..."
"It's just poisonous, it's okay."
Lu Zhong took out an antidote pill and drank it, secretly pinching it to detect malicious intent.
Seeing that there was no problem, I took out a little dry powder and drank it.
"The effect is average, better than nothing." Lu Zhong quickly came up with the result, but he was not satisfied with it. He immediately looked at Li Yuming and said, "How much dry red mushroom powder do you have left? Get it for me. One bottle of dry powder will be exchanged for one pound." Lingmi.”
Currently, he is still in Ye Ling Territory, which is thousands of miles away from the West Extreme Sword Territory. Preparing some dried scarlet mushroom powder can save a lot of time. Otherwise, it would take him about three to five years to reach Shaxuan Valley.
I don’t know when I will come back after taking out the remaining pages.
"Ah yes!" When Li Yuming heard this, he couldn't hide his mood and laughed out loud with joy.
This senior is really a kind person!
When he returned to the dock, he truthfully reported the conversation between the two and the transaction request proposed by Lu Zhong to the several foundation-building cultivators at the dock.
There was nothing to discuss and everyone passed unanimously.
After living underground for a long time, they have long lost the idea of returning to the surface. It is useless to keep the dried scarlet mushroom powder, so they might as well take this opportunity to change to spiritual rice.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
