On the flying boat, I stayed there for several days.
The flying boat team finally reached its destination.
The location of the competition is set in the Misty Mountains, where the secret realm of the Medicine Garden is located.
Jiang Li stood on the deck of the flying boat and looked down. The mountain topography below had not changed much along the way, but he could see a group of mountains below, which were gradually shrouded in a layer of white miasma mist. This is what this area looks like.
Origin of the name of the mountain range.
The Dazhong Mountain area is named after the mountains that are covered with numerous dangerous peaks, and it is also shrouded in thick fog all year round.
It is not that difficult to find a carefully hidden medicinal garden among such mountains.
"The secret realm of the medicine garden is actually hidden in a place like this. It's a shame that the two casual cultivators were able to find it."
"It is said that this secret realm used to be the spiritual field of some immortal sect. It was also covered by a large-scale maze. The mist was gathered by the formation and could not be dispersed. If you are not good at cultivation, you can escape from this mist.
You can find the secret place even if you go through it head-on."
"The two of them are really lucky if they can pass through the phantom formation by mistake."
"They were lucky, but their brains weren't very good at it. The first time they sold drugs, someone discovered the clues. Now their luck turned into bad luck."
"Yes, it is now widely believed among casual cultivators that as the first people to discover the secret realm, they must have picked up some of the most precious materials in the medicine garden and hid them. There are even rumors that those few fairy medicines can make people
People can easily break through the realm and reach the path of immortality."
"I've also heard that there are many monks looking at those two casual cultivators, and there are even a few alchemy cultivators among them."
"That's really tragic."
The speed of the flying boat has slowed down a lot. On the deck, a group of well-informed disciples were chatting about various things they had heard about this secret realm.
For such a major event that affects the world of immortality, the disciples who have witnessed it are naturally very enthusiastic.
The height of the four flying boats of this sect gradually decreased, and amid the noise of the disciples, they slowly sailed into the miasma.
Suddenly rushing into the dense miasma, Jiang Li's hair on his forehead quickly became wet with dew, and his clothes became wet and uncomfortable.
The flying boat drove steadily in the mist according to a special flight path. This was a maze of passages opened up by many senior monks after a lot of testing. It is said that this route can still be sold at a very high price in the black market outside.
Jiang Li shook his hair, and the luck aura isolated the moisture from the outside world.
However, this situation did not last long. After a few quarters of an hour, the vast white front suddenly became clear.
In the center surrounded by mountains, there was a vast and flat plain terrain. Jiang Li could already faintly smell the aroma of medicinal herbs in his nose. In front of it was the secret place of the medicine garden.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li couldn't help but be surprised. The concentration of spiritual energy inside was actually two to three times higher than the outside world.
It seems that in addition to the maze formation, there may also be a large spirit gathering formation arranged here, or there may be an unexploited spirit stone vein buried under the land in this area.
With this concentration of spiritual energy, even a mortal living here can prolong life without getting sick or suffering from pain. For Qi practicing monks, it is an excellent holy land for cultivation.
If this place had not been made public, as long as it was slightly modified, it would be the prototype of a large sect residence.
In this regard, countless people have had illusions. If only they were the first to discover this secret realm, they would definitely be able to soar into the sky, dominate a place, etc.
Even Jiang Li couldn't help but be fascinated when he thought about the countless wealth that could even change the structure of the entire Dazhong Mountain cultivation world.
Even if you sell him as a spiritual spring to earn spiritual stones, how many years will it take to make it worth it!...
Looking down, at the underground entrance to the secret realm, a large number of well-proportioned houses have been built.
The secret realm of Medicine Garden was jointly blocked by many sects in Dazhong Mountain. A large number of monks were not allowed to enter, but they were reluctant to leave. So they stopped at the entrance of this secret realm and spontaneously formed a market, communicating with each other.
none.
Not to mention that the concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than that in the outside world, which can greatly speed up cultivation.
As long as we wait for a period of time, until the competition is over and the development regulations and distribution shares of the secret realm are decided, it is inevitable that large quantities of elixirs will flow out.
By then, this place will naturally be the first-hand market for elixir trading. As long as they simply resell it, they can make a lot of money.
So at the beginning, there was just a small market here, but after this period of fermentation, more and more casual cultivators and forces gathered, and the small markets expanded and connected together, forming the prototype of a city.
As long as the secret realm here continues to exist, this city of cultivators will inevitably become more prosperous and stronger. In time, it is not impossible to surpass places like the Evernight City and become a true holy land for cultivators.
At that time, Ma Donggui also suggested that Jiang Li open a store here, but he decisively refused. There is no one living within a thousand miles of this place, so where can he buy souls?
Although spiritual stones and elixirs are good, Jiang Li's demand is limited, and those ghosts that others look down upon are more attractive to him.
The four flying boats in the Sutra Valley were so conspicuous in the sky. As soon as the fog came out, they were directly spotted by the monks below. It didn't take long for a few streams of light to rise into the sky and fly to the front of the flying boat team.
"I have met the three elders. Disciple Chu Yunxuan has never been rude to greet you from afar. I hope that the three elders will forgive me."
The leader of the group dissipated his aura and revealed his figure. The next moment, the female disciples on the flying boat screamed in surprise one after another. Jiang Li's hardened skin couldn't help but break out in large goosebumps.
There is really no place for this senior brother's charm. Fortunately, I am not in the same age group as him.
Otherwise, even if Jiang Li was ten times stronger than him, it would be difficult for his muscles to compare with his elegance in the hearts of the female cultivators.
This senior brother is also as decent as ever. In fact, with his status, there is no need to say these words, but he still keeps his posture very low.
The three elders smiled and stepped forward to hand over the matter, and were very enthusiastic about the candidate for the headship. After all, if Master Wushe retires one day, everyone will call him the headmaster.
There shouldn't be too many misunderstandings in the secret realm, otherwise the sect would have known about the summoned spirit stone. So the so-called handover is just a routine matter.
After they finished talking, they went to the fifteen contestants together to give them encouragement and greetings as senior brothers.
The other disciples have been in the school for a long time and have seen this one before. That is Jiang Li. Ever since he joined the inner sect, this influential figure has been practicing outside. Later, he came directly to the secret realm to garrison and has never seen him before.
This time, it was also the first time that Jiang Li saw this sect senior brother who was praised to the heavens by everyone.
"You must be Junior Brother Jiang Li. This is the first time we have met. I have long heard that Junior Brother inherited Elder He's iron fists. Now it turns out that what he said is true."
"My name is Chu Yunxuan, just call me senior brother. In this martial arts competition, I will have to rely more on junior brother Jiang Li."
Since it was their first meeting, Chu Yunxuan came up to say hello to Jiang Li. However, Jiang Li didn't know how to answer the good words.
"Senior Brother, this is really an award. Junior brother has a shallow cultivation and still has a lot to learn. Please take care of me in the future."
In desperation, Jiang Li could only reciprocate the compliments and praise the other party.
"Look, there's another flying boat coming behind us!"
At this time, a disciple from behind shouted.
Everyone also turned around and looked.
In the thick fog, a vague outline became clearer and clearer. It was a flying boat approaching through the thick fog.
The other party had obviously noticed them and slowed down in order to prevent a collision. The distance between the two parties gradually came closer, which allowed Jiang Li to barely see the other party clearly.
It was a more slender and smooth flying boat. It seemed that at the beginning of the design and construction, the issue of transportation volume was not considered too much. The focus was on performance and appearance.
In this comparison, it seems to be more advanced than the flying boat in the Sutra Valley.
Although he hasn't seen the flag clearly yet, Jiang Li can already determine the identity of the other party. It is the team from Shushan Five Elements Peak.
Because the sword cultivator's clone is now on top, leaning on the railing and looking at Jiang Li.
It is naturally impossible for Shushan Five Elements Peak, the first sect in the heavy mountain, to have only one flying boat. In fact, they can dispatch at least two flying boats to each main peak.
However, the population is limited. If each main peak sends a flying boat, then all the participating disciples will probably have to sail the boat themselves, which is obviously inappropriate.
In addition, Shushan Five Elements Peak is probably the group of people who are least enthusiastic about the production share of the secret realm of the medicinal garden.
They originally followed the elite route. Although they were wealthy, they did not have many disciples in their sect.
A large number of tedious tasks are all done by the subordinate vassal sects. The real disciples of Wufeng are basically full-time sword cultivators who do not work in production, and only a few will dabble in some minor professions of cultivating immortals because of their hobbies.
When have they ever lacked ordinary elixirs? They don't have any at all. It is only the few rare treasures in the secret realm that can arouse their interest.
The main purpose of participating in this martial arts competition is to show off your muscles to ensure your status as the number one sect in Dazhong Mountain.
After the airships from both sides approached, several rays of sword light quickly rose from the opposite side and landed on the deck here.
As mentioned before, due to the friendly and harmonious sect environment, the disciples of Shushan Five Elements Peak are basically upright and sunny in character and are easy to get along with.
In addition, in the world of immortal cultivation in Dachong Mountain, there are not many fools who would deliberately make trouble with them. On the contrary, there are more people who deliberately make friends with them in various ways.
Therefore, during the process of going down the mountain to experience, Shushan disciples can easily make many friends, and naturally there are many in the Sutra Collection Valley.
Jiang Li thought for a while and asked the sword cultivator's clone to fly over in the form of sword light to express his gratitude to Chu Yunxuan.
After some polite greetings, several spaceships also made their presence felt in the air and descended to the temporary airport to dock temporarily.
There are still three days before the Dazhong Mountain monk competition, and they have all arrived at the sect's residence. The fifteen disciples need to seize every minute and every second to improve themselves and increase their chances of winning even a little bit.
Jiang Li also needs to complete the inheritance as soon as possible and transform those three inheritances into his own combat power.
....
How could such a grand event in the world of immortality be easily let go by those whose blood has not yet cooled down? After the news spread, waves of monks came from all directions and gathered in this misty mountain, making the prototype of this city even more...
It expanded several times all of a sudden.
Moreover, due to certain considerations, many sect forces finally came to the conclusion that qualified casual cultivators were also allowed to participate in the competition.
It's just that even if they achieve the top 100 ranking, they won't win a share for any force.
However, as compensation, in addition to receiving the high-grade elixir produced in the medicine garden as a reward, they can also choose to join any sect except the Five Elements Peak of Shushan Mountain.
And even if they don't win, as long as they perform well enough in the competition, many sects will still offer them olive branches.
This is a good opportunity for the sect to recruit new and outstanding disciples from the outside world.
For many casual cultivators who are struggling to practice, it is also a rare opportunity to "come ashore". Therefore, the casual cultivators are also enthusiastic about this competition.
In the midst of this bustling scene, a group of men in black robes walked out through the mist, and without even raising their heads, they entered the lively market.
They are very low-key and walk very fast, twisting and turning in complicated streets. While preventing others from following them, they seem to have a clear purpose.
This group of men in black robes left the busy city and walked to the edge of the gathering place. The leader looked around and then seemed to have discovered some secret code, so he opened the door and walked into a courtyard.
This courtyard looks ordinary. Like other buildings nearby, it has just been built. But if a monk who is proficient in formation runes comes to inspect it carefully, he will find that the level of formations in this courtyard is quite extraordinary.
Low.
To be able to construct such a level of formation silently in such a short period of time, the master behind it is by no means an ordinary person.
The people in the inner room of the courtyard noticed the visitors through the fluctuations of the formation, and immediately the door opened, and a short and fat figure walked out of it, and bowed directly to several men in black robes.
"I would like to welcome the envoy from the top of the mountain. I am deeply honored."
"Before the competition begins, in order to deceive others, I can only allow a few envoys to condescend to stay here temporarily. I am extremely sorry."
The squat monk's attitude was extremely respectful and he let several men in black robes into the room.
Several people entered the room and after the formation was activated, they took off their hoods.
Under this black robe are a middle-aged woman and four young monks.
Both the hood and the black robe seem to have the ability to block the breath, and the effect is quite good.
When wearing a hood, he is almost like a mortal. As soon as the hood is taken off, a few domineering and fierce auras emerge instantly, especially the leader, whose cultivation is even more unpredictable. The fatness on the short and fat monk makes
The meat shook a few times.
It's just that these men in black robes are not wanted demon cultivators on the list. Instead, their faces are a bit unfamiliar. There seems to be no such people in the Dazhong Mountain area, whether they are casual cultivators or sect monks.
"Where is your Pavilion Master?"
The leading middle-aged female cultivator asked, her tone full of arrogance.
Several other young monks were also looking at everything in the room, seemingly disdainful of everything.
"The master of the pavilion has important things to do at the moment. He will definitely arrive at midnight tonight to greet the envoys. Please be patient at this time. It is my fault to not entertain you well."
The short, fat monk's waist had never straightened up, and he repeatedly confessed to several people.
Then he also talked about the general rules of this martial arts competition and the powerful opponents he may encounter in the competition.
However, the five people on the other side all looked disdainful and did not pay attention to it at all, as if this competition was easy for them.
After a long time, the short and fat monk also noticed the contempt of the five people opposite him, and after completing the work he was supposed to do, he respectfully resigned.
After walking out of the house, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I hope the envoy sent by the headquarters is really that strong..."
The short, fat monk turned around, revealing an equally plump and generous face.
If Jiang Li comes again, he will find that he also knows this sneaky fat man.
This is none other than Fuzhong, the deacon of Shengxian Pavilion!
You must know that the Shengxian Pavilion, which is well known to the monks in the world of cultivating immortals in Dachong Mountain, should actually be called "Shengxian Pavilion Dachong Mountain Branch".
This matter is actually not a secret. Fuzhong introduced it to Jiang Li and others when they first entered Shengxian Pavilion.
But for most people, Shengxian Pavilion Dazhongshan Branch is equal to Shengxian Pavilion. There is no difference to them, so they subconsciously ignore it.
But since it is a branch, it means there is a headquarters.
In normal times, due to the need to cross long distances, there is not much communication, and the branches are basically autonomous. As long as the Pavilion Master goes back to report on his work every few years, everything will be fine, and there will be no impact on other sects in Dazhong Mountain.
But at this time, the secret realm of the medicine garden came into being, and the method of dividing the shares by fighting was established.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Shengxian Pavilion monk, whose disciples' fighting prowess was not outstanding, to give up this piece of cake.
So we asked the headquarters for help.
In fact, the matter of inviting foreign aid is not limited to Shengxian Pavilion, but many sects, large and small, engage in such behavior. In the face of huge interests, various secret transactions emerge in endlessly.
But asking foreign aid to go outside Dazhong Mountain is a matter of course. Whether this behavior is consistent with the rules or not remains to be seen.
After all, no one thought of this at the time, so there was no specific restriction on foreign aid. It was only required that the participating forces must be local forces in Dachong Mountain.
However, the people in Shengxian Pavilion also know very well that even if they do this now, it is not illegal, but if the information about foreign aid is exposed too early and causes dissatisfaction from other sects, it is very likely that they will add and modify it the next day.
Clause, blocking their road directly.
Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth entry of foreign players, they must keep a low profile for now.
