Chen Xuan could see why Zou Ran showed expectations for him.
These five casual cultivators did not seem to be familiar with each other for many years, but instead they were just like they were temporarily together to go to the so-called Liyun Valley to collect herbs.
Chen Xuan just showed his strength and became the main force to kill the snow ape. Zou Ran naturally looked forward to Chen Xuan joining the team of casual cultivators and going to Liyun Valley with them.
These five casual cultivators are of average strength. If you dare to go to the Liyun Valley, it means that the Liyun Valley should not be a dangerous place.
However, out of caution, Chen Xuan made up a lie: "To be honest, I went out from a small place with scarce cultivation resources and walked for a long time to arrive at Tianjue Mountain. It was the first time I came to Tianjue Mountain in Xialian. I don't know where Liyun Valley is. Several fellow Taoists are going to Liyun Valley to collect herbs. Could it be that there is any opportunity?"
"Haha, fellow Daoist Chen guessed it right. Liyun Valley is indeed a great opportunity for us casual cultivators."
Seeing that Chen Xuan's experience was almost blank and was not much better than Zhang Qing, Zou Ran patiently explained to him.
"First talk about the Tianjue Mountains, Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't know that there are 100,000 mountains in the mountain and sea realm. Tianjue Mountain is a mountain range located in the westernmost part of this realm. It is the westernmost part of our eastern practice realm, so it is also called Xiji Mountain."
"But Zou also heard of another name. Legend has it that there was an ancient name called Liangjie Mountain a long time ago. One way of saying is that the mountain in the Tianjue Mountains runs through the two realms, but I don't know what the other world is connected to besides our mountain and sea realm."
When Chen Xuan heard this, he thought to himself whether the other world connected to the Tianjue Mountains is the earth?
If this is true, then he might have to rely on this Tianjue Mountain if he wants to go back to Earth.
Of course, for him now, this mountain range with many monsters on the mountain is not something he can climb at will.
"Brother Zou Dao, what about another statement?" Zhang Qing asked curiously. He liked to listen to strange stories in the mountains and sea worlds the most.
Zou Ran touched his beard and said, "Another way, the meaning of the 'two realms' is not to run through the mountain and sea realms and another world, but to divide our mountain and sea realms into two halves. Legend has it that there are hundreds of barbaric countries to the west of the Tianjue Mountains. People in these countries either have blonde hair, blue eyes, or purple hair and red eyes. The magical powers they practice are completely different from those of our Eastern monks, and their methods are unpredictable."
Zhang Qing couldn't help but look in his eyes when he heard this. He looked up the mountain, as if he was afraid that the aliens would come over the mountain and swallow him alive.
"It is said that the traveler who wrote "The Legend of Mountains and Seas" crossed the Tianjue Mountains alone, crossed hundreds of barbarian countries, and arrived at the legendary vast sea of Western Poles. The sea was boundless, blocking the traveler's thought of continuing to go west."
When Zou Ran said this, the tall and strong man Yan Meng couldn't help asking: "Is this Western Sea the vast sea the west end of the mountain and sea realm?"
"That might be possible. For most monks, the Tianjue Mountains is the westernmost. Who knows whether those alien countries and the vast sea of the Western Poles really exist after crossing the mountains?"
"Of course, even if it really exists, it may not be the westernmost. Some people say that if you can cross the vast sea of the West, reach the other side of the sea, and see the legendary red shore flower, it will be that the Western Paradise has arrived. It is a glazed pure land with an endless Buddha kingdom, and it is the holy land that Buddhist monks yearn for the most."
"These are just legends, they are too far away from low-level monks like us." Feng Shi, a man with a sword, curled his lips, obviously not very interested in these legends.
The reserved Taoist Song Feng agreed: "We are a casual cultivator, and it is difficult for us to break through the Golden Pill stage, let alone cross the Tianjue Mountains and cross the Western Ji Qianhai. Brother Zou, let's hurry up early to avoid any powerful beasts coming out."
"What fellow Taoist Songfeng said is that it is Mr. Zou who has gone too far."
Zou Ran smiled apologetically and looked at Chen Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you just asked whether there is an opportunity for us in Lieyun Valley. Yes, this Lieyun Valley is a good place. It is close to the Tianjue Mountains, located in the south of the Tianjue Mountains, and like the Tianjue Mountains, it is regarded by the majority of monks as the westernmost symbol of the mountain and sea realm. Lieyun Valley is rich in various herbs that can be used to refine elixirs. These herbs are necessary for the elixirs of various sects. I and several fellow Taoists went to Lieyun Valley to collect herbs, and then took the herbs to the Cliff City east of Lieyun Valley, or go to the Dharma Cultivator Market in the city to sell and trade, or go to the stations of several sects to exchange materials, magic weapons, etc. Among them, there are several rare herbs that can exchange elixirs for cultivation and improvement of cultivation with those sects. That is a very popular item!"
"If I could collect a jade grass and exchange it for a tenth level of Qi Refining Stage with Qingyang Mansion, then I wouldn't have to be stuck in the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage for so many years!" Yan Meng talked about the exchange of martial arts, and was a little depressed while eager to try it.
Feng Shi spoke more straightforwardly. When he heard Yan Meng say this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Although the jade grass in Liyun Valley is far from the most difficult herb to collect, it can only be seen at least one hundred feet down the cliff. The danger below Liyun Valley is not something that we Qi Refining Cultivators can handle."
"It's so deep in the Liyun Valley?" Chen Xuan was quite surprised.
"That's not bottom-down!" Zou Ran mentioned the depth of the Riyun Valley, and a hint of awe appeared in his eyes. "It is said that this valley was torn apart by heavenly power, and it is impossible to see the bottom even if it goes down ten thousand feet. It is also said that the deep part of this valley can lead to the Nether Ghost Palace. Of course, it is unknown whether the legend is true or not."
"It seems that this Liyun Valley is not a good place. There is a problem below. You have worked hard to collect herbs in Liyun Valley. Why don't you use these herbs to refine alchemy to improve your cultivation, but take the herbs to the cliff city for trading?"
Chen Xuan was confused. He turned the herb spiritual power into medicine power and turned it into his own use, so he would not have the trouble of redeeming materials. Of course, the exchange method was also mentioned.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't know anything about this. Pill recipes are a scarce thing for the cultivators. Only those sects with a long history will own or develop pill recipes. We cultivators are all penniless. Not to mention pill recipes, even the cauldrons for refining alchemy, so we can only go to Liyun Valley to collect herbs and help those sects work hard."
Zou Ran smiled bitterly and expressed the helplessness in the hearts of the other four casual cultivators.
"I thought that if we walked out of the barren villages, we could get great opportunities everywhere. It seems that our free cultivator's road to immortality is stagnant!" Chen Xuan sighed sincerely.
"Yes, there are very few of us scattered cultivators who can cultivate to become immortals. If it weren't for that evil person."
Feng Shi said halfway, but was suddenly interrupted by Song Feng: "Fellow Daoist Feng, be careful in his words and actions!"
After Song Feng shouted so softly, Feng Shi remembered something and quickly shut his mouth, looking lingering in fear.
