The other people who came with Liu Ming looked at each other and showed hesitation.
They are all casual cultivators, and 30,000 spirit stones can be considered a moderate amount.
"Here are thirty thousand spiritual stones."
Liu Ming flicked his wrist and threw a small bag over expressionlessly.
"This fellow Taoist is still happy." The middle-aged man shook his sleeves and rolled up the bag. After scanning the bag with his consciousness, he nodded with a smile for the first time.
"Here is a spirit plate for timing, which can be used to calculate the time of stay in the grassland. These 30,000 spirit stones are for one year. If it exceeds one year, you will need to pay some more spirit stones when you leave."
After the middle-aged man put away the bag, he took out a white jade plate and handed it to Liu Ming, and explained a few sentences.
"What? Thirty thousand spiritual stones is only the cost of one year!" The red-haired young man had been silent at first, but now he couldn't help shouting,
The others also looked at each other in confusion for a while, but the big man who had been here before frowned and then looked as normal, obviously he had known this rule for a long time.
The middle-aged man glanced at the red-haired young man with contempt, as if he was too lazy to pay attention, but turned around and continued to say to Liu Ming:
"It seems that this fellow Taoist is coming to Tianma Grassland for the first time, so I would like to remind you that on Tianma Grassland, no matter how high your cultivation level is, try not to conflict with those demon monks. After all, half of the demons on this grassland are also
Wanshoutan belongs to the demon clan, if there is a conflict between monks and the demon clan, our sect will not interfere in the slightest."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for your advice."
After Liu Ming asked the middle-aged man a few more things to pay attention to on the grassland, he turned around and walked out of the stone house.
Several others are still hesitating whether to pay the fee of 30,000 spirit stones.
As a result, as soon as Liu Mingfang walked out of the stone house, he was startled by the situation around him.
The market here is very small, with only one main street, and you can almost see the exits at both ends. The houses on both sides of the street are also simple stone houses with many air leaks, making them look very dilapidated.
It was noon at this time, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Liu Ming walked around and found that although the place was small, it was well-equipped with all kinds of organs, including a grocery store, a spiritual weapon shop, a talisman shop and even two buying shops, and each shop
The shop is guarded by a shopkeeper who is in the spiritual apprenticeship stage.
But among these shops, it is very rare to see people.
Liu Ming pondered for a while and figured out the reason.
This is Tianma Grassland. The cost of coming here alone is 30,000 spirit stones per year. The people who come here are generally at the liquid condensation stage, and most of them are casual cultivators. Naturally, they are not here for fun, they must be here.
We have already reached the depths of the grassland.
Thinking like this, Liu Ming strolled into a grocery store.
"Is there a map of Tianma Grassland for sale here?" Liu Ming asked directly.
"Yes, but the maps here are divided into three types: simple, ordinary, and fine, and the prices are also very different." The shopkeeper of this store looks like a rather shrewd middle-aged man, with a cultivation level of about the middle stage of a spiritual disciple.
.
"And this difference, what's the price?" Liu Ming asked with his heart moving.
"The simple map only records a few main roads and ruins in Tianma Grassland, and the ordinary map adds a lot of content. As for the detailed map, it not only marks a large number of dangerous places, but also some demon monks' strongholds, which are all from the past.
The monks are willing to take great risks to explore and mark them one by one. A simple map costs five hundred spirit stones, an ordinary one thousand, and a detailed map costs five thousand spirit stones." It was obviously not the first time the middle-aged shopkeeper introduced it, and he immediately spoke eloquently.
Tell it eloquently.
"This map of yours is not cheap." Liu Ming said with a slight frown when he heard this.
"Senior, please don't misunderstand. As long as the Jinge Sect is in charge of all the markets here, the maps will have this price." The middle-aged shopkeeper explained quickly.
"Let's get a fine one." Liu Ming said with a thought, and at the same time, with a flick of his sleeve, he threw out a small bag of spiritual stones.
He had already learned about it before setting off, and knew that the Tianma Grassland is very large. There are indeed many natural dangerous areas in it. Monks in the Condensation Stage must not be careless. Moreover, there are many demon clan strongholds in the grassland, which are also dangerous for human monks. They all had quite a bit of hostility.
A detailed map is indeed very necessary for him now.
The middle-aged shopkeeper reached out to take the bag, glanced at it with his consciousness, and immediately put it away with a smile. He turned around and took out a jade slip with a hazy blue light from the wooden shelf, and handed it to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming put the jade slip on his forehead, and after a brief exploration with his spiritual consciousness, he found that it was indeed a quite detailed map. In addition to what the shopkeeper said before, there were also the interior of Tianma Grassland and some Xiaofang City on the edge. The location is also marked in detail.
After Liu Ming nodded, he put the jade map slip into the Sumeru Ring, turned around and left the shop with a flick of his sleeves.
Next, he did not continue to stay in the city, and directly drove the clouds towards the direction of Amano Ancient City marked on the map.
And shortly after Liu Ming left Fangshi, Peng Yue, a simple and honest young man from the Tiangong Sect, suddenly appeared on the streets of another small Fangshi controlled by the Jin Ge Sect.
After he entered and exited several shops, he found a blue jade slip in his hand. After a brief sweep of his spiritual consciousness, his figure blurred into a streak of yellow light and went deep into the grassland.
Two days later, on the other side of the Tianma Grassland, a certain teleportation circle in Fang City, where Wanshoutan belongs to, shone brightly, and a pale-faced young man walked out.
This man was wearing blood-colored clothes, and his appearance was extremely handsome. Only a pair of pupils showed a faint blood color, and he looked a bit evil.
But when I saw this man walking slowly onto the street, he stopped and a thoughtful look flashed across his face, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, the man walked straight into a shop on the street.
And not long after he walked in, the door of the shop here clicked and closed tightly.
…
Over a vast grassland, Liu Ming, dressed in a green robe, was driving a black cloud to fly all the way, but did not dare to fly too low.
The reason why Tianma Grassland got its name is, on the one hand, the spirit horses produced here, and on the other hand, because the grassland, as a whole, looks a bit like a horseshoe.
The terrain on the grassland is flat with few ups and downs. The ground is densely covered with giant grasses up to half a foot high. Whenever a strong wind blows, the scenery is like water waves, which is quite spectacular.
Although there are not many ferocious monsters in Tianma Grassland, it is still very easy to hide someone in the grass. After all, it is impossible for him to release his consciousness all the time to explore the surrounding situation.
Every time he flew a certain distance, he would take out the jade map slip he bought and compare it with some obvious signs on the ground to avoid going in the wrong direction.
Along the way, he occasionally met some monks from the human race and the demon race, but he avoided them whenever he could, trying not to meet other people.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from not far ahead.
Liu Ming frowned, immediately stopped the black cloud, and looked forward with his consciousness.
But on the grassland more than a hundred feet away in front of me, a piece of white mist rolled in from a distance, making a "rumbling" sound.
After the white mist, two escaping lights were following closely behind, and the sound of people shouting could be faintly heard.
Liu Ming's eyes narrowed, but he discovered that in the oncoming white mist, there were several horses half a foot tall and as white as clouds, galloping towards them with their four hooves stepping on the clouds, slightly soaring into the air.
"So this is the spirit horse?" Liu Ming saw this spirit horse for the first time in the half-day trip to Tianma Grassland. Judging from its appearance, it looked like a divine horse. It was not comparable to ordinary horses.
The market price of an adult spirit horse like this, which is abundant in Tianma Grassland, is more than 100,000 spirit stones. To most people, this is a large sum of spirit stones.
Although this kind of spiritual horse is only a low-level spiritual beast, its speed cannot be underestimated. It is almost equivalent to the speed of a mid-level flying spiritual weapon. And if it is raised well and fed with some spiritual grass, the speed can be greatly improved.
few.
In addition, it is said that there is an extremely rare mutated spirit horse whose speed is close to the best flying spirit weapon, but this is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
While Liu Ming was thinking about it, the two escaping lights behind him flashed a few times and were already close to the white mist in front.
One of the golden rays of light suddenly accelerated, catching up in a breath, and suddenly turned in front of the white mist.
"A ball of silver light flew out from the golden escape light, and with a "bang" sound, it turned into a large golden net and covered the spirit horse that was galloping towards the enemy.
"Yu Yu..."
These spiritual horses were almost all in the middle and late stages of spiritual disciples, and their spiritual intelligence was not low. When they saw the golden light covering their bodies, they suddenly neighed and galloped away.
The golden net tightened vaguely, but only covered one of them, while the other three had already taken the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, among the lush and giant grass nearby, several more figures flew out with a "swish" and "swish", blocking the front in a fan shape. They raised their hands one after another, and a gray mist exuding a thick fragrance erupted.
Roll out.
One of the spiritual horses ran too fast and hit the gray smoke. His body suddenly stagnated slightly, his movements became a little sluggish, and it didn't take long before he collapsed on the grass.
"It's actually the scent of phantom soul. It's really a big investment." Liu Ming had already stopped. Seeing this scene, he sniffed twice and couldn't help but murmured to himself.
The spirit horse must be uninjured in order to be sold at a good price. Using a net bag or a scented method is really a wrong choice.
