In these days, as the Yuqin Demon Emperor breaks the ban and opens the mountain, all parties have sent people into the mountain to hunt for treasures and search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Since the mountain has been closed for many years, this area has not been damaged by the outside world. Under the long-term infiltration of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of various vegetation and mineral deposits has grown, turning into natural treasures, and the products are extremely rich.
Compared with other places in Yuqin Mountain, this is undoubtedly a real treasure land. It is easy to find spiritual treasures that are more than a hundred years old, and the output of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is extremely rich.
As a result, countless people have flocked in these days, looking for treasures everywhere.
Yuqin County has taken 10% of the treasure land, and the territory is vast. It is simply unrealistic for the County Ghosts and Gods Division to develop the treasure land relying on the county government.
After the Tianchao Immortal Mansion sent people to conduct a general sweep in the first three days, it was later opened to monks from all over Yuqin County to generate income by selling tickets and collecting taxes to replenish the national treasury and the Immortal Court Treasure House.
Of course, the main purpose is to cultivate and strengthen the strength of the local spiritual practice community, which is a great event that achieves multiple goals with one stone.
However, something unexpected happened - a rare treasure [Five Elements Spirit Grass] was born in Yuqin Mountain.
[Five Elements Spiritual Grass] does not specifically refer to some kind of spiritual grass and elixir, but is created by heaven and earth. Any spiritual herbal spiritual material that has been around for thousands of years may be created by chance, and the yin and yang law realm in the void descends and then turns into [
[Five Elements Spiritual Grass] and [Five Elements Spiritual Flower] contain the power of turning decay into miraculous creation.
[Five Elements Spiritual Grass] This kind of rare treasure cannot be cultivated or cultivated, and we don't know where it will be born. It can only be encountered by chance, and it is extremely precious.
Once a rare treasure is born somewhere, it will inevitably attract strong outsiders and break the existing order and balance of Yuqin Mountain. The local monks' treasure hunting opportunities may be shelved or even aborted due to this.
"Erlang, whose hands did the Five Elements Spirit Grass in Yuqin Mountain fall into?"
Qingying became interested.
Although she does not lack the [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] and [Five Elements Fetus] that can impact the realm of great supernatural powers, these rare treasures can be of great use even to those with great supernatural powers. The more the better, and she is naturally no exception.
The matter was not a secret of the Immortal Court. Chu Chen did not hide it and relayed the situation reported by the subordinates of the County Ghosts and Gods Department:
"According to the treasure hunter in the mountain, this [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] was accidentally obtained by a fifth-grade leopard spirit while searching for treasure in his own territory. Later, the news was leaked and the Eight-Armed King knew about it. The ape demon killed people to seize the treasure, causing trouble all over the mountain.
Feng Yu, the entire Yuqin Mountain is in turmoil right now, and the mountain chief and various forces asked the Yuqin Demon Emperor to punish the eight-armed diamond ape who broke the rules."
Qingying has moved the Chamber of Commerce to Yuqin County for more than a month. The famous monsters in Yuqin Mountain are well known among casual cultivators. Naturally, she has heard of this fifth-grade super-grade eight-armed vajra ape.
"Did Yuqin Shrine take action?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "It is said that the Eight-armed Vajra Ape took the [Five Elements Spirit Grass] and ran away. He never returned to the cave and left no trace."
Qingying smiled, not surprised.
The rare treasure [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] is so precious that I am afraid that the three great supernatural power masters of Yuqin Shrine will be attracted by it, let alone the fifth-level Dzogchen realm of the Eight-Armed Vajra Ape, which is in short supply of treasures that can impact the realm of great supernatural power.
Instead of running away, it's something strange.
"Erlang, I have just taken office as the governor of the county and have encountered such a serious situation. Now you have a lot of work to do."
When Chu Chen heard this, his face was full of helplessness.
He naturally understood the underlying meaning behind Qingying's words.
It is said that near the treasure land where [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] and [Five Elements Spiritual Flower] were born, there is a high chance that other Five Elements rare treasures will continue to be born.
what does that mean?
This means that Yuqin Mountain has suddenly transformed from a treasure land in the eyes of ordinary monks to a treasure land that can cause a sensation in Yunzhou and even several surrounding states.
The news has just spread, but he believes that in less than a day, the news will spread throughout the eight southwest states and attract the attention of many powerful people with supernatural powers.
At that time, powerful people with great supernatural powers will come in droves.
Chu Chen was not at all happy that the [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] came out, but was worried.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Although the monks with great supernatural powers are not true immortals, they are not far off.
A group of powerful people with great supernatural powers swarmed into Yuqin Mountain. If they were not careful, a war might break out and innocent people would be affected. As the governor of the county in charge of the demons and gods in the area, he was under a lot of pressure.
"Ying'er, without further ado, I'm going to discuss this with Uncle Wang."
When Chu Chen heard the news, he naturally couldn't sit still, but as soon as he stood up, he remembered something and said:
"Since you are not in urgent need of the Five Elements treasures, don't go into the mountains to hunt for treasures. The news spreads very quickly. I think there must be many monks with great supernatural powers rushing to Yuqin Mountain."
Qingying nodded slightly, feeling very grateful for Chu Chen's concern:
"Be careful when you go into the mountains. Opportunities abound. Don't show off your strength and join in the fight for the treasure."
"I know. I just hope that there won't be a melee with powerful supernatural powers or trouble. If the county governor withdraws after just one month of working, it won't look good."
——
These days, matters related to the development of Yuqin Mountain have always been presided over by the county governor Wang Xi, assisted by the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods.
This move is to make the division of labor and contribution more harmonious, but with the sudden incident, it is not appropriate for Chu Chen to be the boss again.
After Chu Chen and Wang Xi discussed it, they quickly came up with a series of measures.
On the one hand, he actively reported and communicated with the Celestial Court, reported the situation in Yuqin Mountain, and asked for assistance from above. On the other hand, he suspended local monks from Yuqin Mountain who were below the fifth level of Taoism from entering the mountain to hunt for treasures.
It's not that we reserve the venue and block people from seeking opportunities.
The Five Elements rare treasures are too precious, and low-level monks have no qualifications to interfere. A group of sixth- and seventh-level monks went into the mountain, let alone looking for the rare fairy grass. I am afraid that most of them will encounter misfortune halfway, and their souls will return to the underworld if they are not careful.
end.
As for the fifth-grade Taoist practice, neither Chu Chen nor Wang Xi explicitly prohibited it.
The fifth level of Taoism is a watershed for practitioners.
Most monks in the world of cultivating immortals have been cultivating for one lifetime, and their highest state is the fifth level of Taoist cultivation. They have no chance to change their fate against the will of heaven and step into the realm of great supernatural powers.
Many young leaders have been cultivating for ten or twenty years and entered the ranks of the fifth level of Taoism early. However, they later became stuck in the fifth level and wasted decades, making it difficult to break through.
In the end, the calamity comes after two years, and they have no choice but to come to the end of the immortal path. They may be reincarnated with their accumulated merits in this life, or they may turn to the human world to practice incense and fire, and become ghosts and gods.
Although Five Elements rare treasures such as [Five Elements Spiritual Grass] only increase the chance of breakthrough, whether one can truly break through the realm of great supernatural powers depends on chance.
However, for many monks who have been trapped in the fifth level of Taoism for decades, no matter how small the chance of breakthrough is by adding the Five Elements Rare Treasures, to them, that is all their hope and obsession.
Wang Xi and Chu Chen are not very old, one is less than one Jiazi, the other is even more powerful, less than half a Jiazi, and still has one and a half Jiazi to reach the realm of great supernatural power.
However, the two of them are very familiar with and fully understand the state of mind of many Taoist friends who practice fifth grade Taoism, and there is no way to stop them.
The wages of avarice is death.
It's reasonable and reasonable to take risks for your own immortality. Others can't care about you. If you die and die, you can't blame others.
After some discussion, Wang Xi smiled and said:
"Ling Xiao, the great magical powerhouses of our Heavenly Court are coming to Yuqin Mountain. Matters in the mountain will be handled by the superiors. You and I are only responsible for maintaining the stability of the cities in Yuqin County and preventing demons from fishing in troubled waters and invading our Yuqin County.
In fact, the situation in each city is not too serious."
As he spoke, Wang Xi glanced at Chu Chen meaningfully, hesitated for a moment, and continued:
"Ling Xiao, you have cultivated to the fifth level of Dzogchen at a young age, and you have also learned super-level techniques. You have many opportunities to achieve great supernatural powers. Although the opportunities for the Five Elements Treasures are precious, they are not worth your risk."
"Not to mention anything else, with your talent, if you finish your term in Yuqin County in a down-to-earth manner and practice extensively, maybe the Immortal Court will grant you a quota to exchange for the Five Elements Rare Treasures, and you can use the Immortal Gong to exchange for the Five Elements Rare Treasures.
, no need to take risks, if so.”
Originally, Wang Xi planned to say, "If the immortal tribute is not enough, I will give you some," but after thinking about it, he did not say it after all.
Xian Gong, he is also in short supply.
Chu Chen was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately understood what Uncle Wang Xi meant.
Needless to say, Wang Xi was afraid that Chu Chen would lose his temper and go into the mountains to try his luck and look for the Five Elements treasures.
At this time, a powerful man with great supernatural power has entered Yuqin Mountain. He is not afraid of not having a chance, but he is afraid that the chance will be too good, and he will encounter the Five Elements rare treasure, participate in the battle of the monks with great supernatural power, and die.
In some aspects, the fifth-grade super-grade has crossed the threshold of a monk with great supernatural powers, and can compete with one or two, but there is still a long way to go before a true master with great supernatural powers. In a real life-and-death fight, he is definitely not an opponent.
Chu Chen was used to seeing all kinds of people in his two lifetimes, and Wang Xi's kindness warmed his heart.
If he were an ordinary colleague, County Governor Wang Xi would probably not say much. He truly regarded him as a junior, and that's why he said this.
"Uncle Wang, I am sensible. What I care about most right now is the peace of Yuqin County."
Chu Chen smiled. He had a [Five Elements Spirit Grass] and a [Five Elements Fetus], but he really didn't have any greed.
"That's good."
Wang Xi nodded, and as soon as he clicked, he took out a map of Yuqin Mountain and spread it out.
"This is Yuqin County. In addition to the county city, eight major cities are distributed throughout Yuqin Mountain. We are divided into two. You are responsible for the four major cities in the east and the surrounding cities, Guanzhen and villages. I am responsible for the other cities. The county city will be divided into two.
Yuqin City God is guarding it, what do you think?"
"Great kindness!"
After the errand was finalized, Chu Chen took away the elite forces of the Ghosts and Gods Division of the county to strengthen the weak links in the large villages and Zhuangzi in the eastern cities of Yuqin.
At the same time, eight deputy governors were removed, and Chu Chen himself was added to form a nine-person inspection team of the governor, responsible for inspecting the cities in the east of Yuqin and protecting the people of Yuqin County from evil spirits trying to fish in troubled waters.
This is not because Chu Chen and Wang Xi are making a fuss, but the probability of this happening is extremely high.
Demons and evil spirits are cunning and take advantage of the chaos. They take advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil.
The "Red Dragon Devil" who was imprisoned in Dameng Zhenxiang brought him a lot of information. Then all the big and small devils in the [Becoming Demons and Ancestors Alliance] also learned about Yuqin Mountain, and they all guessed this place.
I was quite excited about the possibility of chaos, and many demons were clamoring to take advantage of the chaos to steal their cultivation qualifications.
It goes without saying that one can guess a thing or two about the cultivation resources of the demon outside the territory.
Clouds and mist were steaming in the mountains, and Chu Chen took the little ghost boy to ride in the clouds and mist, patrolling the area he was responsible for - around Yuanmu City in Yuqin County.
"Senior brother, many fifth-grade experts in Yuqin County cannot bear their temper and are going to be in serious trouble."
The little devil's tone was quite determined.
Chu Chen was a little curious: "Little devil, how do you know?"
The little ghost said: "Many of them have calamity energy on their heads, but it's quite obscure. They must have encountered someone with great supernatural powers, so I can't tell."
Chu Chen shook his head. He and the county governor Wang Xi had warned them over and over again, saying that they were suffering from calamity and should not go out to take risks. Unfortunately, many people did not listen at all.
Chu Chen shook his head, ignored it, and continued to patrol around Yuanmu City.
Before I knew it, three days passed.
A surprising news was born in Yuqin Mountain.
The second five-element treasure was actually born in Yuqin Mountain, which triggered a battle between the five great powers. The battle resulted in landslides and ground torn apart, flash floods erupted, fire spread across the mountain, and the area around the battle site was desolate.
This is nothing. The emergence of the second Five Elements Treasure has confirmed the rumor that Yuqin Mountain is a treasure land, making people daydream about the birth of the third, fourth and even more Five Elements Treasures.
For a time, Yuqin Mountain caused more sensation, and countless strong people came from all directions to hunt for treasures.
This is undoubtedly bad news for Yuqin County.
Especially for Chu Chen and Wang Xi, just as they expected, there really was a demon who did not go hunting for treasures, but fished in troubled waters and took advantage of the chaos to invade the people of Yuqin County.
When Chu Chen and the little devil patrolled around Yuanmu City, he personally killed five vicious sixth- and seventh-level monsters, saved three large villages, and obtained the five merits.
Originally, he had accumulated 1,500 meritorious deeds, served as the governor of the county for one month, and protected the people of the county, and gained fifty meritorious deeds.
As a result, his total meritorious deeds reached one thousand five hundred and fifty-five.
It's a pity that the Taoist and magical powers are not manifested in the Heart Temple.
Yuqin Mountain was very lively, but Chu Chen paid no attention to the disputes in the depths of the mountain. He traveled through the clouds and fog to patrol all parts of Yuqin County to protect the people of the area.
"Little devil, if you don't practice, you don't come out to chat with senior brother. You patrol every day. Senior brother is very boring."
Chu Chen sat cross-legged on Yun Dou and couldn't help but said.
The little ghost floated out from the [Pure Yin Treasure Gourd], holding Xiaobo in his hand, and said impatiently:
"Senior brother, I'm busy. I've made great achievements in my Taoist practice recently. I feel that my calamity curse has become more powerful. Hahaha, I might be able to curse a few enemies to death."
When Chu Chen heard this, he thought of something and said with a straight face:
"Have you crossed out Master? Be careful, senior brother, I'll beat you up, you rebellious bastard!"
"I crossed it out a long time ago." The kid felt guilty and said solemnly: "My master beat me and I was so angry that I wrote it down. I never cursed you at all. How dare I curse my senior brother? Don't tell me, otherwise
Next time I’ll be beaten until I’m smoking.”
"Okay, you practice hard and your Taoist cultivation will be far ahead of the master. This is called striving for success!"
"Well~ Senior brother, I will practice hard and strive to achieve the fifth level of perfection as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will break through and become a fairy boy. I will envy you to death!"
Chu Chen nodded. He was just about to continue to encourage him, but unexpectedly, the little kid actually exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Senior brother, it's done. My spell was successful. I seem to feel his tribulation energy lingering around me."
Chu Chen was stunned. There were wisps of black energy floating out of the thin film in the kid's hand.
"Good guy, this little Bo has been turned into a magic weapon by the little ghost Wen."
Chu Chen was secretly surprised. It seemed that the fairy boy who had heard from his ancestor had passed on a lot of things to the little devil.
"Little devil, who is that person?"
The little devil said with thin fingers: "Here, that mysterious insect cultivator, he is going to be in bad luck."
What else did Chu Chen want to ask, but his spiritual consciousness felt a familiar aura.
