Lin Shan felt Ruixue's affection and could not help but hold her in his arms, saying affectionately: "As long as you like it, everything I do is worth it!"
"You are so kind to me."
Ruixue rested her head on Lin Shan's shoulder.
For a while, both of them fell silent, silently feeling the tranquility and beauty.
"Oh, did I see something I shouldn't have seen?"
At this moment, Little Pepper's teasing voice suddenly came.
Ruixue was immediately startled and jumped away from Lin Shan. She looked at Xiaojiao with a coquettish and shy face: "Why are you here?"
"how?
Did I come at a bad time and delay your good things?"
Little Pepper chuckled.
"Senior sister, stop making trouble."
Lin Shan walked over and saluted Senior Sister Xiaojiao, and then asked: "Senior Sister, are you here to see me?"
Little Pepper nodded, but didn't say much.
Lin Shan hesitated, then said goodbye to Ruixue, and the senior sisters and brothers left together.
"Senior sister, what is going on? Why did you come to me in person?"
Lin Shan asked curiously.
Little Pepper looked around cautiously, and when she saw that there was no one there, she lowered her voice and said, "Master asked us to go to the Cangyan Ancient Territory to collect some rare elixirs."
"What?
Cang Yan Ancient Territory?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but lost his voice. This was the second time he heard this name.
The first time he mentioned it was when the stunningly beautiful Dean rewarded him with the Blue Flame Fire.
Little Pepper nodded and said, "The Cangyan Fire that the Dean gave you was found in this place."
“Then what kind of elixir should we go there to collect?
Why do you have to let us go?"
Lin Shan said in surprise.
Under normal circumstances, gathering medicinal materials can be completed by other disciples.
There is no need to waste the alchemist's time.
Every alchemist is a valuable resource for the academy and a cash cow. If you delay for one day, you will lose a lot of income.
"These elixirs are very special and difficult to preserve. We must refine them into elixirs immediately after collecting them.
As for what kind of elixir it is, you will know when you get to the place."
Pepper explained.
Lin Shan was stunned, and then asked: "Then when will we set off?"
"immediately!"
Little Pepper said.
"So urgent?"
Lin Shan was surprised again.
"Give you some time to make arrangements for Jindan Pavilion.
I'll wait for you at the entrance of the college."
Xiaojiao knew that there was a shop in Linshan, so she said.
"Okay, I'll go find Ruixue."
Lin Shan didn't have time to say anything more, so he hurried back to find Ruixue and asked her to send the elixir to the Golden Pill Pavilion while he was away.
Then he quickly went to Jindan Pavilion through the magic weapon space, said hello to Suga Ruoqing, and then went to meet with Little Pepper.
"Sister, we can go."
After Lin Shan found Xiaojiao, they left Langjia Academy together.
Lin Shan didn't know where the Cangyan Ancient Territory was. Anyway, Xiao Chili led the way, so he didn't waste any energy.
This is the first time Lin Shan has traveled far away since he came to the world of cultivation. He came from the Black Desert before. Although he has passed through some places, his understanding of the world of cultivation is not very deep.
After going out this time, after many twists and turns, under the introduction of Xiaojiao, Lin Shan got to know the world in detail, which was also a kind of gain.
A few days later, Lin Shan and Xiao Laijiao walked out of the teleportation array. Instead of continuing to teleport, they went to an inn and stayed temporarily.
"Sister, aren't we leaving?"
Lin Shan asked.
Xiaojiao said: "I'm a little tired from running around for days. Let's take a good rest and wait for some fellow Taoists here."
"oh?"
Lin Shan looked puzzled.
Little Pepper said: "This big city is called Nihility City. It is the only way to the Cangyan Ancient Territory and it is also the last big city.
There will be no teleportation array on the next road.
There are many dangers on the way forward. It is extremely difficult for the two of us to enter the Cangyan Ancient Territory.
So Master helped us find a few people to go with us."
"They also went to Cangyan Ancient Territory to collect medicine?"
Lin Shan asked.
Little Pepper shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master didn't say much.
They just asked us to walk with those people and told us not to talk too much on the way.
My mission is to safely enter the Cangyan Ancient Territory, find the elixir, and refine it into a pill.
Leave everything else alone."
Lin Shan half understood, but felt that there must be something going on here.
After staying in the Void City for two days, Lin Shan and Xiao Lali had already rested well, but the person they were waiting for had not yet appeared.
"Sister, why haven't those people come yet?
You won’t miss the date, will you?”
Lin Shan was bored and asked while reading a medical book.
"Probably not.
Maybe there was an accident on the way."
Little Pepper guessed.
Lin Shan was noncommittal and asked: "Senior sister, what exactly is the Cangyan Ancient Territory?"
Xiao Laojiao sat next to Lin Shan and said: "The Cangyan Ancient Territory is one of the four major ancient territories in the world of cultivation. No one has figured out how it was formed. However, there are many war relics in it, so some people suspect that this
It’s a place like an ancient battlefield.”
"There are many elixirs and species in the ancient realm that are not available in the outside world, and it is also very dangerous. However, many people still take risks for the sake of rare resources.
But if you want to enter the ancient domain, there are also conditions. The cultivation level must be below the golden elixir stage. For those who exceed this level, the ban on the entrance to the ancient domain will rebound them. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the rebound force.
.”
"There were masters in the integration stage who wanted to use brute force to break the ban, but because of their own strength, after being banned and rebounding, their cultivation was directly destroyed, and their future was ruined. There were also formation masters who wanted to break the ban in the ancient domain, but
After more than ten years of research and no clue, I finally came to the conclusion that the restrictions in the four ancient domains may be barriers set by ancient cultivation powers and cannot be broken at all.
Therefore, people can only abide by the restrictions of the ban. Even if the major sect forces want to enter the ancient domain to find resources, they can only send disciples below the Golden Core stage."
Hearing this, Lin Shan nodded and asked: "Does this restriction include the Golden Core stage?"
“Once your cultivation reaches the Golden Core stage, you will not be able to enter.
But the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage is okay, it’s just one step away, but it’s so far away.”
Little Pepper said.
“This ancient domain is really strange.
It's so dangerous inside, but only people with low cultivation levels are restricted from entering. How can this look like luring fish to the bait?"
Lin Shan guessed.
Little Pepper shrugged and said, "So there is no necessary need, and no one is willing to take risks in the ancient domain.
But those who go there are those who have made a choice between risk and reward.
Of course, some big sects will send a group of disciples to collect resources at a fixed time. This is the task of the sect, and even if someone doesn't want to go, there is nothing they can do unless he betrays the sect."
"Isn't it more dangerous to betray the master?"
Lin Shan smiled bitterly.
Little Pepper pouted: "That's a dead end.
Traitors from many sects will be hunted down by their masters until they die.
And those who were lucky enough to survive were forced to have no choice but to surrender to the Devil's Palace."
"Senior sister, there is a man named Demon Sword Scholar in the Demon Palace, do you know?"
Mentioning the Demon Palace, Lin Shan couldn't help but think of this character whom he had heard about in Star Soul Continent, and couldn't help but ask.
"The Demon Sword Scholar is a famous figure in the Demon Palace, and he is also the person that the Xiu Zhen Sect has been chasing.
But after so many years, he is still at large, and no one has even seen his true face.
It is said that most of the people who have seen this person are dead, and he is a ruthless character in the Demon Palace."
