On the back of Xiaojin Ridge, Mo Juren raised his eyes and looked up, but saw that the mountains were continuous and endless. Among the endless dangerous peaks and strange valleys, there were dense forests, like a huge green barrier without a single gap. p>
The Yunqin Mountains cover a large area, spanning thousands of miles from north to south, and are a natural barrier to the eastern part of Fengyuan Country.
According to the mark on the map, the 'Tian Tomb Valley' he was looking for was located in the middle of the mountain range, a place where the Yin veins converge. In this case, it must be different from other places.
As his thoughts moved slightly, his powerful spiritual consciousness instantly unfolded and he began to search carefully.
It didn't take long before I sensed something, and my expression immediately changed. I reached out and patted Xiao Jin, and flew quickly in the designated direction.
After about a while, when I stopped again, I saw a somewhat different place.
There are no longer high mountains and dense forests. Instead, there is a vast area of continuous barren mountains with a radius of more than a hundred miles. It is full of bare isolated peaks and wild ridges, with no grass growing.
What made Mo Juren's heart even more chilling was that a large amount of Yin energy had accumulated in this barren mountain, and even condensed into thick gray-black clouds over various valleys, which were cold and sinister. p>
The clouds were so dense that they almost covered all the nearby valleys. Even if he used his spiritual eyes, he could not detect the situation inside clearly.
The other thing is the spiritual consciousness, which also has great interference. At least with the strength of his spiritual consciousness, it has also been suppressed a lot, and the range that can be explored is not far.
"No wonder!" Looking at the situation below, Mo Juren suddenly realized. No wonder this place is called the "small forbidden area" by the Nine Nations Alliance. All the monks are not willing to get too close. It turns out that this is the reason.
The Yin Qi here is too strong, and the large number of monks' bones buried over countless years seems to have caused some kind of mutation, causing a hint of evil to be born in the Yin Qi that should have been pure.
Evil!
Mo Juren smiled slightly. If it were anything else, he would still have scruples, but it was something like this sinister evil spirit that really posed no threat to him.
He put Xiao Jin away, then without hesitation took up the Escape Light and flew straight down into the valley.
When he passed through the evil cloud, he instantly felt the strange coldness around him. You know, his physical strength is abnormal, but he still feels this way, which is enough to prove that this is not an ordinary cold.
Flying to the ground, he couldn't help frowning at this time. The visibility was so low, which greatly increased the difficulty of finding the 'Xuan Hun Gu'. However, this kind of elixir has special properties and has the innate ability to confuse spiritual consciousness. It is not
So easy to find.
After thinking for a moment, something clicked in his mind, and the 'Shattering Child' on his forehead opened instantly. As a golden light flashed by, the originally dark and dense strange mist in the area in front seemed to have encountered a nemesis, and was instantly dissolved away.
The effect of the child prodigy turned out to be surprisingly good. Mo Juren was immediately overjoyed, and without any further hesitation, he immediately moved forward to search.
Countless monks' bones were buried in the Tomb Valley. However, when he got really deep here, he discovered that the situation was very different from what he had imagined.
There are no graves at all, some choose to bury them on the spot, and most of the rest are not even buried, but are directly discarded in the valley. In this situation, it is more like a mass grave than a cemetery. p>
It's normal to think about it. There are too many corpses, and more than 90% of them are low-level disciples, so naturally they can't enjoy better treatment.
In the world of immortality, strength is respected, and problems are considered based on interests. People who die are really dead and will no longer be valuable.
What's more, the environment here is dangerous, and even if there are some special means of protection, it cannot stay for too long. Just discarding it is the most convenient option.
Looking at the piles of bones, Mo Juren didn't pay much attention to them, but continued to search. One thing made him a little confused. In such a place where the Yin veins gathered, and there were such a large number of bones gathered, how come some evil spirits weren't born?
Existences like spirits?
It wasn’t until I walked to a certain area that I saw a huge platform with a diameter of three feet in length.
It’s actually a formation!
The Nine Nations Alliance must have taken precautions a long time ago and set up a large formation in this large valley in advance. He didn't know what its function was, but the fact that it was so quiet here must have something to do with this formation.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the high platform, it was obvious that this formation had been established for a long time. Some corners were damaged, and even the spiritual patterns engraved on it became somewhat molded.
Mo Juren was not too happy, but a little disappointed. He was looking forward to the emergence of some mutated evil spirits and ghosts, which would not threaten him at all, and might even become materials that could be refined.<
/p>
What a pity!
Shaking his head slightly, he continued to move forward to look for the 'Xuan Hun Gu'. As for the formation in front, he gave up the idea of going forward to investigate after a moment's thought. His instinct told him that if he got too close to the high platform, something unexpected might happen.
Unexpected trouble.
……
At the same time, Mulan Grassland.
In front of a certain stone temple deep in the depths, a stunning woman wearing a green dress, beautiful appearance, and exuding a holy aura was suspended in the air.
A pair of crystal clear eyes looked towards the north. Then, an ancient bronze lamp was suddenly raised high in the hand, and Tankou gave a sweet shout:
"Everything is ready, let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of five-color streams of light rose into the sky and swept towards the north.
Not only cultivators, there are also endless teams of mortals in the vast grassland below, all of them are young and strong men. After hearing the order, they also set off one after another, advancing towards the north.
These mortals are not there to fight, but to plunder resources.
In mid-air, the holy woman slowly flew down, her white jade-like bare feet stepping on the soft grass, but not stained by any dust.
"Holy Maid of Initiation, there is news from Master Ling of the Xuyang Tribe." But at this moment, a figure suddenly flew from the sky, knelt down on one knee and respectfully handed over a white jade plaque.
"Senior Brother Ling!" The holy woman took the jade token and immediately released her spiritual consciousness to investigate. After reading the contents, a smile suddenly flashed in her cold eyes.
"Go and reply to the letter immediately, and ask Senior Brother Ling to always pay attention to the movements of unexpected people, and send a letter to inform him immediately if there is any situation."
"I obey," the man replied, and then quickly stood up and left.
"Now is the day when the Tuwu people are awakened once in twenty years. There should be no other actions in a short period of time." An old man stepped forward and analyzed.
"The truth is so true, but we cannot take it lightly. What's more, Tutu people have always been treacherous. Haven't we learned enough in these countless years?" The holy woman shook her head slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"That's true." The old man nodded and continued,
"How is the situation in Tiannan?"
"According to the news coming back from behind the scenes, it's still business as usual." Mentioning this matter, the holy woman immediately smiled and continued,
"Our action this time was very sudden. The purpose was to prevent the other party's informants from detecting it in advance. By the time the other party learned the news, it was already too late to react in time. We must take advantage of the other party's hasty response to achieve the greatest results." "I'm afraid it's not that easy." The old man shook his head slightly and continued,
"The strength of the Nine Nations Alliance is not weak, especially the civil war between the good and the evil in recent years, which has caused a large number of monks to go south to avoid trouble, which has indirectly caused its strength to skyrocket. Now it is no longer what it used to be."
"It is true that the strength of the Nine Nations Alliance has skyrocketed, but this time we are not doing it lightly. With the support of the Yuan Yue Tribe and the Tianfeng Tribe, we may not be able to succeed in one fell swoop." The holy woman snorted coldly, with bright eyes.
But it shows strong self-confidence.
"When will support arrive?" Although the old man had objections, he stopped arguing with the other party and asked the key question instead.
"Between ten months." The holy woman immediately replied. After hearing this, the old man frowned slightly. This time does not seem to be long, but it is not short either. The Nine Nations Alliance will definitely learn about this place soon.
Given the circumstances, given this time, it may not be impossible to gather a certain amount of defensive force in time.
As a result, the battle of the vanguard is particularly important, and may very well determine the ultimate benefits of this war.
"That makes sense, so I set off with the vanguard. As for the follow-up support, I will leave it to the Saint. I look forward to seeing you again and say goodbye." The old man cupped his hand and then summoned a black winged creature.
The demon python, in the next moment, turned into a black light and flew away through the sky.
Looking at the disappearing figure, the saintly woman frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "Master Zhou seems to be a little unfavorable to this battle?"
……
In the Tomb Valley, Mo Juren searched for most of the day but still couldn't find the elixir he needed. On the contrary, he found a lot of other types of elixirs. The years were a little different, but they were all of some yin attributes.
Menling grass.
This couldn't help but make him suspicious. Maybe he thought too well. After all, it was a 'Xuan Hun Gu' who was more than 600 years old. How could such a precious thing be found so easily?
Of course, he didn't give up. Since he wasn't affected by the special environment here, he would naturally search them all. If he still couldn't find them by then, it wouldn't be too late to leave.
The golden light swept past, and the evil mist in front was cleared. Mo Juren immediately took the time to start investigating. Just when the mist began to condense again, his eyes suddenly stopped at a certain location.
"Hey, this is it?"
After a few steps, Mo Juren crouched down and took a closer look. He saw a mushroom-shaped elixir that was about three inches tall and emitted a bright green light. What was even more peculiar was that there was a cloud of smoke surrounding the medicine.
The circle of cold white mist with a diameter of half a foot is not close yet, but you can feel its extreme coldness.
"Xuan Hun Gu! That's right!" Mo Juren was overjoyed. After searching for so long, he finally saw the real thing. The only pity is that Xuan Hun Gu grows one inch every hundred years, and the one in front of him is still far behind.
Heat.
However, he is not discouraged. If there is one, then there are two, which at least proves that there is indeed such a lonely existence here. As long as he continues to search, he will definitely succeed.
As for this 300-year-old plant, he did not give up. Instead, he directly took out a box made of thousand-year-old black ice and carefully put it into it.
The previous Yu Jian did not use all the Xuan Bing, and there was still some left, which was stored in the Xuanhun Gourd for emergencies, but this time it was just used.
After getting up, he started his journey of searching for medicine again. Maybe it started to change. Starting from finding the first strain, then the second strain, the third strain... until he found the eighth strain, he finally found the right medicine.
The requested one is eight hundred years old, which is enough for use.
Mo Juren was overjoyed at this moment. Not only had he found what he needed, but the rest, although the vintage was lower, were equally valuable. Coupled with some other spiritual herbs, this time it was a huge harvest.<
/p>
He couldn't help but guess that the reason why he was able to find so many was mainly due to the special environment here. Monks at the Nascent Soul stage looked down upon them, but monks below the Dan Formation stage could not eliminate the Yin evil mist, let alone stay too long, and naturally they could not pick it.
To Xuanhungu.
This is indeed an advantage for him. Although he can't think of a use for it, this relatively unorthodox elixir is something he cherishes, and he may not be able to use it at any time.
Therefore, he did not leave immediately in the following time, but continued to search.
As he expected, he soon had another harvest, and it was a big harvest. It was not a mysterious soul, but a strange black stone only the size of a fist.
The black stone was buried in the soil, with only a small sharp corner exposed. If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have noticed it.
This black stone is the legendary top spiritual material 'Wujin Stone'. It is one of the spiritual minerals he needs to refine the sixth-level earth attribute bloodline. It is extremely rare. After looking for it for so long, I didn't expect to find one here.
Even though it is such a small piece, it weighs more than ten kilograms, which is enough for him to use.
This time is really an "unexpected surprise", and I am happy to continue my treasure hunting career. It is not easy to visit such a special place, and it will naturally take a lot of effort.
However, before he could take action, his eyes suddenly looked south, and his brows immediately furrowed.
The existence of the black mist greatly suppresses the spiritual consciousness, but it can still be sensed from a considerable distance. About thirty miles away, there are six escaping lights flying rapidly in the mid-air.
The escape was divided into two waves. The two people in front seemed to be running for their lives, while the four people in the back were chasing after them.
What surprised Mo Juren the most was that one of the two people who escaped had a vaguely familiar mana aura, possibly an acquaintance.
"Interesting!" Mo Juren touched his chin, and then decisively ended his treasure hunt. Instead, he restrained his breath and flew slowly toward the area above the black mist.
He did not immediately escape from the black mist, but hid in the dark and observed carefully. At this point, his spiritual eyes could no longer be blocked.
Soon, the two people fleeing in front appeared in sight. When he could see their appearance clearly, Mo Juren couldn't help but look slightly surprised. They were really acquaintances.
Two middle-aged monks, a man and a woman, came. The man had a square face and white beard and hair, while the woman was wearing a red dress. She looked to be in her thirties, but her appearance was cool and her charm was still there.
