This time, Cheng Yan still didn't stay in Longtan for long. She needed to hurry up.
It was not so urgent originally. Thousands of demons fled due to the Demon Locking Tower. The Lord of Suzaku City was worried that something might happen to Suzaku City if it was so close, so he planned to temporarily seal Suzaku City to protect the city.
Those of them who wanted to participate in the Hongshu Competition had no choice but to leave Suzaku City overnight.
There were many demon control masters coming out of Suzaku City, so the group simply went together. Cheng Yan, Ji Qiuyu and others attracted much attention along the way because of their good performance in the chessboard formation.
Yaoguang City is the easternmost city in the West Pole. There is only a Liuhuang Mountain Range between it and Qingyan City. After passing Yaoguang City, you enter the territory of Zhongzhou.
The city lord of Suzaku City was quite considerate and sent several high-level demon masters to protect them. The group took the flying boat of Suzaku City and entered the prehistoric mountains safely.
"We can only send you here, you have to walk the rest of the way on your own!" Several high-level demon control masters from Suzaku City said.
Everyone thanked these seniors and entered the Liuhuang Mountains one after another.
It's not that they don't want to go together, but that these three thousand people will all be opponents in the future, and if they want to go to Yaoguang City, they have to rely on their own abilities.
The Liuhuang Mountain Range is adjacent to a mountain range that runs diagonally from the southeast to the northwest, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is as famous as the Cangwu Mountain Range between Dongling and Nanjing.
It's just that compared to the majestic mountains of the Cangwu Mountains, the scenery is beautiful; the Liuhuang Mountains can be said to be extremely harsh, with dangerous places such as stone forests, swamps, and quicksand pools common.
When Cheng Yuan and Ji Qiuyu entered the Honghuang Mountains, it was getting late, so they had to find a cave to rest for the night.
This cave was opened by predecessors. The layout inside is simple and there are still traces of the life of the demon master.
Ji Qiuyu and Yanchu entered the room and looked carefully before and after. After confirming that there were no problems, they allowed Tinglan to sit down.
Cheng Yuan set up a protective formation in the cave and then took out a map.
"To go to Yaoguang City, we have two options. The first is to go to Qingyan City, which is the closest to here, and take the teleportation array there. We can reach Yaoguang City in about ten days.
The second option is to go along the Liuhuang Mountains. If everything goes well, you can reach it in one and a half months. "
Ji Qiuyu followed what Cheng Yan expected on the map, pointed to a mark between the mountains and asked, "Is this a quiet bamboo forest rich in spotted bamboo?"
"That's what it says on the map. Do you want spotted bamboo?"
Ji Qiuyu took out her hexagram tube: "I accidentally damaged a few hexagram sticks that day. These hexagram sticks were all made from purple bamboo in the south. If you want to replace them, the only one you can find is spotted bamboo."
"This is your life-saving magic weapon. Naturally, the sooner you complete it, the better." Cheng Yuan thought for a while: "We might as well go to Qingyan City early. Maybe there is purple bamboo in the market there?"
Ji Qiuyu shook his head: "There are many purple bamboo forests in the southern border, but this hexagram actually comes from the purple bamboo on the Cangjian Sect's Zhitian Peak, which is extremely rare. I plan to complete it when I visit the Cangjian Sect in the future.
Now, instead of using expensive spiritual stones to buy purple bamboo, it is better to find some spotted bamboo. "
Cheng Yan smiled and said to her, "Okay, you can go wherever you want."
Yanchu immediately curled his lips: "Sister Xiaoyuan, I'm jealous when you say that!"
Ting Lan laughed. This was something Yan Chu didn't dare to say before. In the past few months, she has become as coquettish as she was when she was a child.
Tinglan felt very relieved to see Cheng Yuan having so many friends around her.
"Actually, you might as well go here first." Ting Lan pointed to a small stone forest on the map.
"Aunt Lan, where is this?"
"The small market in the Liuhuang Mountains. It's not big in scale, but it happens from time to time. Some demon masters have spotted business opportunities and specialize in reselling specialties from several realms. We can go there and try our luck."
Several people looked at the map and found that it was not far from here, and immediately agreed.
…
After about a few hours, Cheng Yuan and others finally found the small market on the map.
Calling it a market is an exaggeration. There weren't too many people there, but there were obviously stalls often set up, and there were some spiritual objects set up with formations on the ground.
Several people entered and found that although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
What is sold inside is elixirs, refined magic weapons, spiritual talismans, magic circles, everything you need, but judging from the quality, most of them are from the south.
There are probably a lot of people from the Western Pole group entering the Liuhuang Mountains, so this small market is a bit lively.
Cheng Yan suddenly suffered from an occupational disease.
"Qiu Yu, you can go shopping around, I'm at this stall."
Ji Qiuyu knew that Cheng Yuan had a business in silver wire and other items, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Yan Chu and I will go and find out what is available in this market first, and we will let you go later."
"Okay!" Cheng Yan said, pushing Ting Lan: "Aunt Lan, you go and take a look too."
"Aunt Lan is not going. Aunt Lan is here to accompany you. But Wu Zhan and Jiang Tu, don't be restrained and go with them."
Jiang Tu waved his hand: "No, no, no, we don't have spiritual stones, and we can't get anything back if we go there."
Jiang Tu's family background is not good. Although he is in Xianqimen, he is as poor as a casual cultivator. He has long been accustomed to not joining in such fun. But he didn't expect Wu Zhan to pull him: "Let's go, I will take you to see the world."
The two of them walked away with their arms around each other. Although Jiang Tu repeatedly refused, he kept moving and it was obvious that he was still very happy.
After a few people left, Ting Lan helped Cheng Yuan set up the stall.
Cheng Yan introduced the items on the stall and talked about the prices, so that if there were many people, Aunt Lan could also help her.
Because this was just a temporary stall in the Liuhuang Mountains, there was no one to manage it, and there were many dangers, so Cheng Yuan didn't put out many things.
Just wait for someone to approach and shout a few times.
Ting Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad as she watched Cheng Yuan hawking skillfully and bargaining with others expertly. She was very comfortable in buying and selling.
If she hadn't been unable to protect Ah Yun back then, she wouldn't have suffered so much outside.
Cheng Yan was talking to someone who was bargaining for a price, and didn't notice that Ting Lan was in a low mood.
"Fellow Taoist, this is a thousand-mile connection made by a middle-grade weapon refiner. You and your Taoist companion can find each other even across thousands of mountains and rivers."
The female cultivator didn't believe it when she heard this: "The Thousand Miles Thread Tie bought by Ren Bao Pavilion wouldn't dare to say the same thing about thousands of mountains and rivers. You have to know that the Silver Thread Tie can't find each other even if it's separated by a barren mountain range."
"It depends on the cultivation level involved in refining Thousand Miles Thread, and the year of the silver thread. I can guarantee that you can sense the pair of silver threads on my stall as long as you are not separated by two realms. each other."
Cheng Yuan is very confident in her Thousand Miles Thread, and her pair of silver wires are made of ten thousand-year-old silver wire.
Hearing this, the male monk said: "Then how much do you plan to sell it for?"
"One hundred thousand."
The male cultivator's eyes widened immediately: "How much?"
Cheng Yan repeated it, and the male cultivator took the female cultivator and left without looking back.
