This time, Cheng Yan still didn't stay in Longtan for long, she needed to hurry up.
It wasn't so urgent originally. Thousands of demons fled due to the Demon Locking Tower. The Lord of Suzaku City was worried that something might happen to Suzaku City if it was so close, so he planned to temporarily seal Suzaku City to protect the city.
Those of them who wanted to participate in the Hongshu Competition had no choice but to leave Suzaku City overnight.
There were many demon control masters coming out of Suzaku City, so the group simply traveled together. Cheng Yan, Ji Qiuyu and others attracted much attention along the way because of their good performance in the chessboard formation.
Yaoguang City is the easternmost city in the West Pole. There is only a Liuhuang Mountain Range between it and Qingyan City. After passing Yaoguang City, you enter the territory of Zhongzhou.
The city lord of Suzaku City was very considerate and sent several high-level demon masters to protect them. The group took a flying boat from Suzaku City and entered the prehistoric mountains safely.
"We can only send you here, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself!" Several high-level demon control masters from Suzaku City said.
Everyone thanked these seniors and entered the Liuhuang Mountains one after another.
It's not that they don't want to go together, but that these three thousand people will all be rivals in the future, and if they want to go to Yaoguang City, they have to rely on their own abilities.
The Liuhuang Mountain Range is adjacent to a mountain range that runs diagonally from the southeast to the northwest, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is equally famous as the Cangwu Mountain Range between the Dongling Mountains and the southern border.
But compared with the majestic mountains and beautiful scenery of the Cangwu Mountains, the Liuhuang Mountains can be said to be extremely harsh, with many dangerous places such as stone forests, swamps, and quicksand pools.
When Cheng Yan and Ji Qiuyu entered the Honghuang Mountains, it was already getting late, so they had to find a cave to rest for the night.
This cave was opened by predecessors, and the interior layout is simple. There are still traces of the life of the demon master.
Ji Qiuyu and Yanchu entered the room and carefully checked it back and forth. After confirming that there were no problems, they allowed Tinglan to sit down.
Cheng Yuan set up a protective formation in the cave and then took out a map.
"To go to Yaoguang City, we have two options. The first is to go to Qingyan City, which is the closest to here, and take the teleportation array there. We can reach Yaoguang City in about ten days.
The second option is to go along the Liuhuang Mountains. If everything goes well, we can reach it in one and a half months."
Ji Qiuyu followed what Cheng Yan pointed out on the map, pointed to a mark between the mountains and asked, "Is this a quiet bamboo forest rich in spotted bamboo?"
"This is how it is shown on the map. Do you want spotted bamboo?"
Ji Qiuyu took out her hexagram tube, "I accidentally damaged a few hexagram sticks that day. These hexagram sticks were all made from purple bamboo in the south. If you want to replace them, the only one you can find is spotted bamboo."
"This is your life-saving magic weapon. Naturally, the sooner you complete it, the better." Cheng Yuan thought for a while, "We might as well go to Qingyan City earlier. Maybe there is purple bamboo in the market there?"
Ji Qiuyu shook his head, "There are many purple bamboo forests in the southern border, but this hexagram actually comes from the purple bamboo on the Zhitian Peak of the Cangjian Sect, which is extremely rare. I plan to complete it when I visit the Cangjian Sect in the future.
Now, instead of using expensive spiritual stones to buy purple bamboo, it is better to find some spotted bamboo."
Cheng Yan smiled and said to her, "Okay, you can go wherever you want."
Yan Chu suddenly curled his lips, "Sister Xiaoyun, I'm jealous when you say that!"
Ting Lan laughed. This was something Yan Chu would not dare to say before. After spending the past few months together, she has become as coquettish as she was when she was a child.
Tinglan felt very relieved to see Cheng Yuan having so many friends around her.
"Actually, you might as well go here first." Ting Lan pointed to a small stone forest on the map.
"Aunt Lan, where is this?"
"The small market in Liuhuang Mountains is not big in scale, but it happens from time to time. Some demon masters have spotted business opportunities and specialize in reselling specialties from several realms. We can go there and try our luck."
Several people looked at the map and found that it was not far from here, so they immediately agreed.
……
After about a few hours, Cheng Yuan and others finally found the small market on the map.
Calling it a market is an exaggeration. There are not too many people, but there are obviously stalls often set up, and there are also some spiritual objects set up with formations on the ground.
Several people entered and found that although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
What is sold inside is elixirs, refined magic weapons, spiritual talismans, magic circles, everything you need, but in terms of appearance, most of them are from the southern region.
There are probably a lot of people coming to the Liuhuang Mountains from the West Pole, so this small market is a bit lively.
Cheng Yan suddenly suffered from an occupational disease.
"Qiu Yu, you can go shopping around, I'm at this stall."
Ji Qiuyu knew that Cheng Yuan had a business in silver wire and other items, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Yan Chu and I will go and find out what is available in this market first, and we will let you go later."
"Okay!" Cheng Yan said and pushed Ting Lan, "Aunt Lan, you go and take a look too."
"Aunt Lan is not going. Aunt Lan is here to accompany you. But Wu Zhan and Jiang Tu, don't be restrained and go with them."
Jiang Tu waved his hand, "No, no, no, we don't have spiritual stones, and we can't get anything back if we go there."
Jiang Tu's family background is not good. Although he lives in Xianqimen, he is as poor as a casual cultivator. He has long been used to not joining in the fun. But he doesn't want Wu Zhan to pull him out and say, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it." See the world."
The two of them walked away shoulder to shoulder. Although Jiang Tu repeatedly refused, he kept moving and it was obvious that he was still very happy.
After a few people left, Ting Lan helped Cheng Yan open the stall.
Cheng Yan introduced the items on the stall and talked about the prices, so that if there were many people, Aunt Lan could also help her.
Because this is just a temporary stall in the Liuhuang Mountains, there is no one to manage it, and there are many dangers, so Cheng Yuan doesn't have many things on display.
Just wait for someone to approach and shout a few times.
Ting Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw Cheng Yuan hawking skillfully and bargaining with others expertly. She was very comfortable in buying and selling.
If she hadn't been unable to protect Ah Yun back then, she wouldn't have suffered so much outside.
Cheng Yuan was talking to someone who was bargaining for a price, and didn't notice that Ting Lan was in a low mood.
"This fellow Taoist, this is a thread of thousands of miles refined by a middle-grade weapon refiner. You and your Taoist companion, one for each, can find each other even across thousands of mountains and rivers."
The female cultivator didn't believe it when she heard this, "The Thousand Miles of Thousand Threads that Ren Baoge bought would not dare to say the same thing about thousands of mountains and rivers. You have to know that the Silver Threads of Threads cannot find each other even if they are separated by a barren mountain range."
"It depends on the cultivation level involved in refining Thousand Miles Thread, and the year of the silver thread. I can guarantee that you can sense the pair of silver threads on my stall as long as you are not separated by two realms.
Each other."
Cheng Yuan is very confident in her ten thousand-mile relationship, and her pair of silver wires are made of ten thousand-year-old silver wire.
Hearing this, the male monk said, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"One hundred thousand."
The male cultivator immediately widened his eyes and said, "How much?"
Cheng Yan repeated it, and the male cultivator took the female cultivator and left without looking back.
