The northernmost town in the outer area of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield is at the junction of the outer area and the middle area. You must pass through here to enter the middle area. Gubei can basically be regarded as a sign of the boundary between the two areas.
Walking all the way from Xuanshou Pass to Gubei Town, there are many cities and towns along the way. It is the safest way to enter the Ancient Immortal Battlefield.
Going further north from here, there are few stable places to stay.
Entering the middle area, the celestial phenomena are even more terrifying, with swarms of cloud beasts and powerful forces. The riddled secret realm is difficult to sustain for a long time. Except for a few precarious cities, there are only three towns in the huge middle area, which are built in good condition.
In the secret realm, they are far apart from each other.
The monks who were not strong enough stopped at Gubei Town and did not dare to go further.
Gubei Town is said to be a town, but due to the scope of the secret realm, its scale is actually not large. There is only one main street, mainly shops, and there are very few people who actually live here.
There are many shops and inns along the street, selling elixirs and magic weapons, as well as purchasing spiritual materials and evil spirits.
Those who have the strength to arrive in Gubei Town are basically foundation-building monks. The shops on the street look quite deserted and the business is bleak, but in fact they are very profitable.
He also noticed that Gubei Town is in a special location. The elixirs and magical instruments sold in the shops are extremely expensive, and the price of the inn is comparable to that of a small cave in Xuanshu Pass.
Fortunately, there is a Shadow Guard stronghold in Gubei Town, so Qin Sang and others do not have to pay this unjust amount of money.
At this time, Qin Sang stood in front of the door of the Shadow Guard stronghold, looking up at the sky.
Gubei Town is built in a piece of red sand. You can clearly see the sand and dust blown up by the strong wind, blocking the sky and the sun, and constantly hitting the restriction like the end of the world. In the sandstorm, there are streaks of red light swimming around.
, it is the Heavenly Fire Flowing Flame.
The forbidden light fluctuates erratically, and you can feel the terror of the power of the celestial phenomena in the secret realm.
People living in Gubei Town seem to have become accustomed to strange things and still do whatever they need to do without even looking up.
Due to the unstable space of the Ancient Immortal battlefield, the depths are full of space cracks. Although there are no space cracks on the periphery, they are still affected. Not only are there constant wind and lightning in the sky, but sometimes celestial phenomena are caused by space fluctuations. The more ancient times
As you walk deeper into the fairy battlefield, the more frequent celestial phenomena appear, the more terrifying their power becomes.
The shape of the celestial phenomena is unpredictable. There may be strong winds that corrode bones and marrow, there may be fire from the sky one moment, and there may be heavy snow and ice for thousands of miles the next moment. Sometimes there are even several celestial phenomena appearing at the same time, lightning and thunder, earth shaking, ice and fire.
When they collide, the scene will be spectacular.
Cloud beasts are more active in celestial phenomena. Monks must not only deal with celestial phenomena with all their strength, but also be alert to cloud beasts at all times. Fortunately, there will be signs every time a celestial phenomenon appears, and monks can find a safe place to hide in advance.
The celestial phenomena were raging outside, and the popularity of Gubei Town was a bit more prosperous than before. The monks took the opportunity to start trading to supply what they lacked.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the guy at the base said that the celestial phenomenon is almost over. Senior Brother Yin previously ordered everyone to gather at the entrance of the secret realm and set off immediately after the celestial phenomenon is over."
A woman's voice came from behind. Qin Sang turned around and saw that it was a woman in plain clothes. She was the Sanren Yunqiong who was traveling with her, so she nodded and said yes.
Looking around, he found no sign of Senior Brother Mu. Qin Sang shook his head helplessly and followed Yun Qiong Sanren towards the entrance of the secret realm.
This time, among the ten shadow guards traveling together, there are four monks in the foundation-building stage, and the other six are all above the tenth level in the Qi-refining stage.
Originally, according to the usual practice, it was enough to dispatch three monks who were in the early stage of foundation building.
The most important thing when mining Qianyang Quartz is to cover their own fluctuations to prevent them from being noticed by cloud beasts. As long as they can successfully sneak in, Qianyang Quartz has surfaced from the ground, so mining is not very dangerous, and monks in the Qi Refining Stage can complete it.
What they relied on was an astrolabe-shaped cloud device under the Suspended Skull Pass. The three foundation-building monks jointly activated it, which was enough to cover a large area and last for a long time. It was more than enough for mining.
In the event of an accident, the cloud coverage area can be reduced and manpower allocated to deal with the crisis.
Originally, Mu Yifeng, Qin Sang and Yun Qiong were already identified as Sanren, plus seven Qi Refining Stage Shadow Guards.
The three of them are all in the early stage of foundation building. Qin Sang made up his mind not to take credit and let Mu Yifeng be the captain. Naturally, Yun Qiong, an independent, couldn't make trouble.
Unexpectedly, before setting off, a man named Yin Xingge suddenly intervened.
Yin Xingge came from Yaowang Sect, and Yun Qiong Sanren was a disciple of Yanyulou. These two sects are sects with long heritage in Xiaohan Territory. Although there is no Yuanying ancestor in the sect, there are several Jindan Masters who are powerful. Don't underestimate it, several sects similar to the Yaowang Sect can share some of the right to speak if they join forces in the Xuanshou Association.
Although Yaowang Sect is not as good as Shaohua Mountain, Yin Xingge himself is in the middle of the Foundation Establishment period, ranking the best among the four. He is the most powerful in the world of immortal cultivation. Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng can only obey his orders.
Qin Sang could sense that Mu Yifeng was unhappy. Fortunately, this man understood that the overall situation was the most important thing and did not act on his own accord, but did things perfunctorily.
He could also guess that Yin Xingge probably came for the Qianyang Crystal.
The Crystal of Qian Yang is a rare spiritual material that can be used to refine magic weapons. Master Jindan needs this material to refine the magic weapon of Extreme Yang. If they can bring back a piece of Qian Yang crystal during this trip, their good deeds will be doubled tenfold. By the way, the first person to discover the Qianyang Crystal may also be rewarded by Master Jindan.
Regardless of whether Yin Xingge was instructed by the master of Jindan in his sect, or he coveted ten times the good deeds, what he valued must be the Crystal of Qianyang.
Qianyang Crystal is such a precious thing, so naturally it cannot be encountered every time it is mined, otherwise Master Jindan would personally lead the team.
However, no Qianyang Crystal has been produced in that mine for decades. According to past rules, the possibility is now a little higher, but only a little.
Walk straight out along the street, all the way downhill.
Just because the terrain in the secret realm is a broken mountain, the entrance is the small river at the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, the two walked to the end of the street and saw a jade belt in front of them. There was a wooden pier on the riverside. There were several old-looking wooden boats floating around the pier. There were no cables, but they were motionless in the flowing water. In fact,
A magical weapon that enters and exits the secret realm.
At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered on the pier, waiting to leave after the secret realm was opened.
Yin Xingge and other seven people stood together. The other six shadow guards were all in the Qi refining stage, including three major sect disciples. However, they did not dare to neglect Yin Xingge's order and came over early to wait.
"Junior Sister Yunqiong, Fellow Daoist Qin..."
Yin Xingge nodded to them and said hello. Seeing that Mu Yifeng had not arrived, he frowned slightly, but said nothing more.
