Chapter 152: Secret
Hidden
Zhou Yutian was not as cautious about money as Qin Bo. This was not because Zhou Yutian was aloof and self-sufficient, but because Zhou Yutian never had to worry about money issues in the palace, and when he was being hunted down, he was always with the young man.
There are inhabited places, so there is no concept of yellow and white things. It was not until entering the Hongmeng that I slowly realized the value of these yellow and white things and the exchange ratio with other items.
When he first came to Qianshan Town, Zhou Kutian was a complete outsider. He knew nothing and was not familiar with anything. In order to quickly establish a foothold in Qianshan Town, he kept pouring money into it.
Wanbaotang, for example, directly pays to hire a large number of blacksmiths. No matter whether anyone comes to buy things or not, the blacksmith shop is always producing tools. As long as the tools are produced, you will be paid, so it attracts a large number of blacksmiths to join.
Another example is Lanhuaxuan, which is positioned as a teahouse. Its main business content is to accept tasks and distribute tasks, thereby earning intermediary fees. However, because it did not have a reputation in the early stage, no one came to entrust things, so they directly spent money to complete tasks themselves.
From digging for mineral materials, hunting exotic beasts, to gathering intelligence, the tasks are not only numerous, but also highly rewarding. The tasks at Lanhuaxuan alone are more than the tasks at the teahouses in the entire Qianshan Town.
Therefore, it quickly established a reputation. Of course, the rapid expansion of Lanhuaxuan will inevitably cause conflicts of interest with other teahouses. At this time, they still adopt the same method, which is to throw money into it. Those who open teahouses themselves are just for
To make money, as long as the reward is generous and does not harm their interests, they will naturally come over.
As for Qianshan Mountain, although it is a mercenary group in name, it is actually a private army belonging to Zhou Wutian. An ordinary mercenary group only has a dozen people, and a group with dozens of people is considered a very powerful mercenary group. After all, if there is no
If you have some means, you can't support so many people just by hunting exotic animals.
However, Qianshan Mountain has no such worries, because money is not an issue at all. In addition, Zhou Wutian and Yu Ling come forward to intimidate and provide a large number of spells and training resources suitable for them. It is easy to gather these mercenaries.
After all, they all come out to eat, and you can tell which ones taste good and which ones don't.
Today, there are nearly 2,000 people on the top of Qianshan Mountain, among which there are as many as a hundred people at the Kaiyang level. They have gathered almost half of the mercenary groups inside and outside Qianshan Town. You must know that the city guard of the You family in Qianshan Town is no more than
There are only a few dozen people at the Kaiyang level among the thousands of people. When the mercenary group has missions, it will send out people to do missions, and when there is no mission, it will practice and train troops.
Although it cost so much, for Zhou Yutian, it is just ten thousand soul stones. You must know that with the extremely convenient spatial mark and the support of ten thousand soul karma fire, there is no need to spare any special time, and you can take it out anytime, anywhere.
Take a piece of soul mine and refine it into a soul stone. Not only can you get the soul stone, but you can also accumulate refining experience. After all, practice makes perfect with some things. As long as you do it enough, one day you will suddenly realize it.
At Zhou Yutian's current speed, he can refine more than 300 soul stones at will every day without much loss. If he specially takes the time, he can achieve a production of several thousand or even tens of thousands a day, and all of them are
A top-grade soul stone. Therefore, naturally he would not take the consumption of those ten thousand soul stones seriously. After all, just the amount of soul gold he consumed to break through from the second floor of Yuheng to the seventh floor of Yuheng was above
There are so many, not to mention a mere soul stone.
The refining of soul stones is already commonplace for Zhou Yutian. Even the success rate of high-grade soul gold is as high as 80%, while the average soul gold master of the same level only has a success rate of 50% or even less. However, refining soul gold has a success rate of 80%.
not like
Refining soul stones is so random. It requires special time and energy to set up the furnace before refining. This is why Zhou Yutian rarely takes out soul gold directly, because soul gold is not as random as soul stones.
out.
Compared to soul stones, Zhou Yutian is more willing to use spells to exchange resources. Zhou Yutian himself has five attributes. In addition to blood spells, other spells can be practiced, let alone copying these spells. They are just the spells in Zhou Yutian's hands.
They are all around the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, and they would not be sold at all in Qianshan Town.
After handing over the soul gold and spells to Qin Bo, he also asked Qin Bo to select some trustworthy people from the three parties and take them under his control to organize a small team and wait for Zhou Yutian's next order. After arranging these,
, he asked Qin Bo to find a place to practice.
"Wutian, Mi Zang has been born, we will set off immediately." Yun Lan's figure appeared floatingly, as if he had never left.
"The secret is born? Hasn't it been born before?" Zhou Wutian asked with some confusion. Yunlan did not answer Zhou Wutian, but directly picked up Zhou Wutian and left Qianshan Town and headed east.
"I just felt something when I came out of seclusion before, so I can't be sure." Yun Lan said, "That's why I asked you to arrange things here, and then make preparations to find where to go. After all, you are in the territory of the ghoul.
It requires complete preparations." Yun Lan, carrying Zhou Wutian, slightly disappeared into the periphery of the ghoul's territory, then immediately changed direction and ran straight south.
"This time the secret has been fully revealed, with a special aura, and it is certain that the place is on the outskirts of the ghoul territory." Yun Lan said, "Therefore, it is best to rush there immediately on a first-come, first-served basis."
"It seems that we have to get closer to the moon first." Zhou Yutian said. Just as Yun Lan said, the direction of the secret was not determined before, so he could only prepare well and slowly explore the location of the secret in the territory of the corpse ghost, and finally returned
It may be all in vain. But once the location of the secret is determined, these preparations will naturally be useless, and it will naturally be first come, first served.
At this time, Yu Ling in Qianshan Town was leaning against the window and looking in the direction of the secret. Apparently she also felt the aura of the secret. This must be what Zhou Yutian told her to leave for a while to find. So
It seems that Zhou Yutian has already left Qianshan Town.
"Pavilion Master, the head of the You family is outside asking for an audience." The maid outside the door gently knocked on the door.
"What's he doing here?" Yu Ling said a little unhappy, "Please!"
On the outskirts of the ghoul territory, close to the human territory, two figures were flying close to the ground. Because they were relatively close to the periphery, almost no monsters from the ghoul territory were seen. Even if they were, it was just a flash.
It disappeared so quickly that I couldn’t get a general idea. On the way, I occasionally passed by a few adventurers who were hunting for treasures in the ghoul territory. These people obviously didn’t feel that the secret was revealed, so they were still immersed in the treasures in front of them.
middle.
"Why don't I feel the hidden aura?" Zhou Kutian asked curiously.
"It is said to be a secret treasure, but it is actually the relics of some ancient forces in the ghoul territory. These relics are protected by a very powerful space magic circle, so they usually do not appear in front of the world." Yun Lan explained, "But time always
It will consume everything, no matter how powerful these forces once were. As long as these space formations are broken, it will cause space shock in this area. Only cultivators with heavenly authority and above who can control the power of heaven and earth can feel it.
The space shock caused by the rupture of the space array."
"It seems that the strong men from these nearby countries are going to fail." Zhou Wutian laughed. Before Zhou Wutian finished laughing, Yun Lan suddenly stopped and said, "We're here!" As he said that, he looked down.
Zhou Yutian hurriedly followed Yun Lan's line of sight and looked down. Below the two of them was a mountain stream. The cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream were lush and green. At the top of the mountain stream, a gurgling stream flowed down between the cliffs, below the mountain stream.
A lot of water splashed on the rocks, and then disappeared into the bushes, moistening things silently.
"If this place were not in the territory of corpse ghosts, it would be a rare and elegant scene." Zhou Yutian couldn't help but admire.
"This is not good." Looking at the mountain stream, Yun Lan frowned, showing no sign of whereabouts.
"Mr. Yun, what's wrong? Could it be that some kind of defensive formation was discovered?" Zhou Yutian asked. Although he didn't feel any energy fluctuations, Yun Lan's experience could probably tell something.
"Some strange things are most likely to exist in the mountains and rivers in the ghoul territory." Yun Lan said, "Especially in places with such unusual movements, it is easier to attract those strange things."
"Strange things? Are these things strong?" Zhou Yutian looked at the mountain stream below cautiously.
"The things in the zombie territory are neither strong nor weak." Yun Lan said, "These things are so weird and strange that even a highly accomplished person will find it difficult to escape if they fall into them."
Seeing Yun Lan's cautious attitude, Zhou Yutian couldn't help but frowned. After all, he was just an outsider to Hongmeng and didn't know much about things here, especially in the ghoul territory, which was caused by the ghoul riots.
Many records of the wight territory have been completely lost.
"The best way is to wait for others to come, and then we wait for them to take out the treasure and then take it away," Yun Lan said.
"This -" Zhou Yutian had to admit that this was a good idea, and he didn't have to bear the risk, but in terms of integrity, it lacked morality.
Seeing what Zhou Yutian was thinking, Yun Lan said, "I have seen a lot of certain things and experienced a lot, so naturally my thoughts have changed. You are still young and you should not understand what I am doing. Wait until you
When you grow up, you will know that the path of cultivation is more often than not achieved by stepping on the corpses of others."
Zhou Wutian still can't understand this. After all, morality is the basis of dealing with people, especially Zhou Wutian who comes from an imperial family. Even so, Zhou Wutian did not refute.
"This junior will bear in mind what Mr. Yun said." Zhou Yutian said, "Why don't you wait for Mr. Yun for now while I go to find out what's going on."
"Go ahead, it will be a training for you." Yun Lan said, "Be careful, things in this ghoul territory are unnatural, and even I can't tell what might happen."
"Keep it in mind, I'm going." After saying that, Yun Lan gathered some energy and placed Zhou Wutian in the mountain stream.
Viewed from the air, the mountain stream was lush and green, and it felt refreshing. However, when we got into the mountain stream, we discovered that the grass, which seemed to be calf-high, was actually as tall as a person, directly over Zhou Yutian's head, completely blocking Zhou Yutian's field of vision.
.However, since it is an ancient ruin or something like that, there should be an entrance nearby, Zhou Yaotian thought, and let out his consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.
The surrounding tall grass completely blocked Zhou Wutian's vision, so it was actually dark in Zhou Wutian's current situation, making the already weird mountain stream even more difficult to fathom.
However, fortunately, the mountain stream is not very big. After exploring for a while, I found a hole that goes vertically downward. The hole is surrounded by white jade bricks and is carved with many patterns that are still working.
The entrance to the hole was covered to prevent these overgrown weeds from entering.
The cave was pitch black, so Zhou Yutian released his consciousness to investigate and determined that there was nothing wrong inside, so he jumped into it, and immediately mobilized his energy to grab the wall to prevent himself from falling directly.
However, the fall that Zhou Yutian imagined did not occur. As soon as he entered the cave, he immediately lay down on one side of the cave wall without falling at all.
"It's amazing how the direction of the world and the world can be changed here." Zhou Yutian exclaimed in wonder, and immediately got up from the ground and looked towards the cave.
Not only is the entrance to the cave made of white jade carved with patterns, but also the inside of the cave is made of white jade carved with patterns. The patterns on the outside can still be seen, and they are some defensive patterns.
, used to prevent the overgrown weeds from entering, but Zhou Yutian couldn't understand the lines inside, just like looking at the zigzag stripes.
In the cave, there was no fire pillar illumination, no Horcrux illumination, and the white jade stone walls on both sides did not emit light, but Zhou Yutian could clearly see everything in front of him, which was really incredible.
After confirming that there were no problems inside, Zhou Yutian stepped forward. After all, he was here to hunt for treasures. If he didn't take a look, how could he find the treasures.
"Pa-ta, pa-ta." As Zhou Kutian walked, two strange sounds came. Zhou Kutian quickly stopped. At this time, Zhou Kutian's consciousness had already penetrated the distance of nearly a hundred meters around him. Naturally, he was sure that there was no one around him.
After confirming the existence of something and making sure that there was no problem, Zhou Yutian continued to move forward again.
"Pap, tap." The strange sound continued to be heard as Zhou Wutian moved around. Zhou Wutian stopped again. The sound suddenly disappeared again, and there was nothing within the scope of his consciousness.
