This world is vast and sparsely populated.
Rao is a prosperous land in the middle of Kyushu, with countless desolate mountains and forests.
The treasure hunting place Wang Ping mentioned is such a place - Longling Mountain.
Longling Mountain is the largest mountain range in Guangping County. It runs across the entire Guangping County and connects several counties in Qingzhou. It is extremely vast.
The mountains are filled with poisonous miasma, wild beasts, poisonous insects, wood mandrills, stone spirits, and even demons and monsters, making it a primitive and wild place.
On weekdays, ordinary people dare not set foot there, and even the caravans that walk in the mountains all year round will walk around and dare not cross the mountains. Only the brave monks who are skilled in art dare to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures.
The Longling Mountains are the largest treasure land in Qingzhou. Countless monks come in and out, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for practice.
Mountains and rivers are the easiest place to gather the essence and energy of heaven and earth, creating endless creation.
The most important thing is that real spiritual objects have spirituality.
It does not grow in a fixed place and cannot be traced.
In the state of "qi" transformation, sometimes it turns into "spiritual qi", sometimes it "turns qi into essence", appearing out of thin air.
Back then, Chu Chen and Fugui went out to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. The Fire Origin Spirit Fruit found in the mountains not far from Hongye Village was a clear example.
The Fire Spirit Fruit is not usually there, it was born there by chance.
After the spiritual fruit was born, the spiritual fruit "Qi" escaped and disappeared.
Because of this, good spiritual fruits are quite rare and rely on chance.
Otherwise, the good things that happened before would not have happened to Chu Chen and Fugui. An expert would have discovered the Huo Yuanling fruit tree and dug it away.
Chu Chen calls this stage the "gatherer's cultivation civilization."
It is analogous to the stage when humans lived by gathering and hunting in ancient times.
Of course, the world of immortality is not static and there is no progress at all.
Collecting practice materials takes time and luck, and is not very efficient.
In order to make it easier and less troublesome, the sects and families in the spiritual world have worked hard for many years to cultivate spiritual fields, gather "qi" for planting, and have mastered many secret techniques for cultivating "spiritual herbs and elixirs".
Although artificially cultivated spiritual objects are low-level cultivation materials, they are a step beyond the times for the entire world of immortality.
At present, the world of immortality has gradually moved from "collecting and cultivating civilization" to "agriculture and cultivating civilization".
Of course, the monks have not given up "collecting". Really high-quality and precious spiritual materials have to be explored deep into the mountains, and only by luck can they have a chance to obtain them.
Before, when Chu Chen was in Xin'an County, he often heard mentions of scholars and wealthy people.
The young leaders of Qingzhou in the Jiuyou Order group chat even mentioned their gains from entering the Longling Mountains from time to time, and they talked so eloquently that Chu Chen was quite yearning for them.
Speaking of which, many members of the Nine Nether Order have been cultivating quietly in the Longling Mountains all year round.
He also chatted with a few big monsters and got a little understanding of the Longling Mountains.
It's a pity that his cultivation level was low before, and when he mentioned anything to people, most of them were dissuaded and asked to practice hard before thinking about it. Even the big demon in the Nine Nether Alliance said so.
Now, Wang Ping took the initiative to invite him.
Chu Chen naturally agreed happily.
After making an agreement with Xiucai and Wang Ping, Chu Chen went straight back to Yunshui Residence.
"You want to go to Longling Mountain to practice in the mountains. When I was a master, I went to the mountains with your uncle to hunt for treasures after entering the eighth level of Taoism."
When Taoist Master Xu Ping heard this, there was not much surprise on his face. He seemed to have expected it. He just said:
"The mountains are a lawless place, so be careful in everything. If you miss treasures, you can still find them again. You only have one life, so remember it!"
"Yes, I understand, Master. If the little devil predicts a bad omen, I will retreat immediately. I will never let greed get the best of me."
Chu Chen assured Xu Ping Daoxing.
"Master, don't worry, I guarantee your senior brother's safety!" The little kid was so excited when he heard that he could go into the mountains, and he patted his chest.
It looked like my senior brother was being protected by me.
Taoist Xu Ping glanced at the little guy angrily.
"Just don't hold back your senior brother."
"Hey hey hey~"
After asking for leave from his master Chu Chen, Chu Chen went back to Chen Mansion to ask for leave from his parents.
Chen's mother was a little worried and did not allow Chu Chen to enter the mountain.
Fortunately, Chen's father, Chen Jia, stopped Chen's mother first and allowed Chu Chen to go out. He repeatedly told Chu Chen to be careful for Yunyun.
...
Wang Ping not only invited Chu Chen, but also invited scholars.
The scholar gathered his wonderful mind and became one of the geniuses in cultivation. Coupled with the strong support from Lord Long, his Taoist cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation progress did not need to be much slower than Chu Chen.
In addition, after many years of training and ten years of sharpening a sword, the scholar had no bottleneck at all from the ninth to eighth grades, five days earlier than Chu Chen's breakthrough.
In comparison, Huang Fugui is much slower. He has only reached half the level of his ninth-level training, and is still a long way from breaking through to the eighth level.
A few days ago, Chu Chen was meditating at home.
Wang Ping and Xiucai went to the outskirts of Longling Mountain and had a little gain.
"Good guys, it turns out you guys have been there a long time ago. It's so embarrassing that you kept hiding it from me."
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Zhang Xiucai were drinking in a restaurant in Guangping County.
Listening to the two men talking about the scene when they went to Longling Mountain a few days ago, Chu Chen pretended to be unhappy:
"Stop drinking tea. If you drink as a penalty, you must drink as a penalty!"
Wang Ping and Xiucai smiled happily.
The scholar said: "Brother Chu, aren't you practicing in seclusion? How dare we disturb you?"
"Yes, we have not forgotten you. When we went into the mountains a few days ago, we found a large area of Jiangzhenxiang trees. Many of them gave birth to Jiangzhenxiang, but they were not nourished by spiritual energy and had not yet formed spiritual fragrance."
When talking about this matter, Wang Ping did not speak, but sent a message from his spiritual consciousness:
"According to my observation and that of the scholar, the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers here is actively flowing. The recent batch of ordinary Jiangzhen incense may turn into Jiangzhen spiritual incense."
Chu Chen was immediately stunned. This was indeed a big opportunity.
Falling True Incense is known as the first of all incense. The feeling of burning attracts cranes to descend. Burning this incense at the altar of stars is the first. Burning it in strange houses to ward off evil spirits can seduce spirits and has endless wonderful uses.
The ordinary fragrance alone is worth a lot of money.
The incense master uses a secret method to gather "qi" to cultivate it, and mixes it with other spiritual materials. Ordinary incense can also be collectively called "spiritual incense".
Of course, the "spiritual fragrance" created naturally by heaven and earth is more spiritual.
There is a huge disparity in value between the two, one is heaven, the other is earth.
This is the reason why Wang Ping and Xiucai couldn't bear to collect "Jianzhenxiang".
The scholar also said through his spiritual consciousness:
"Under the aura of the mountains and rivers, the incense drifts for miles, which will definitely attract many mandrills and monsters to fight for it. Brother Wang and I are still worried about not finding anyone. It's just the right time for you to break through. The three of us know the basics, so we can advance and retreat together." the best."
Chu Chen nodded and understood the voiceover of the two.
In the mountains, the law of the jungle prevails.
It is natural for people to die for wealth and for birds to die for food.
Going into the mountains to hunt for treasures, fight with fellow travelers, and fight monsters to death, the court generally doesn't care about it, it's a truly lawless place.
Going into the mountains to hunt for treasure together, finding reliable teammates is definitely the top priority.
I would rather have a weaker companion, but also have someone who is reliable.
