Fortunately, the First Martial Arts Academy has its own library, which contains a lot of book information from ancient times to the present, including maps.
With the idea of exploration, Xiang Shang came to the library and began to search.
Soon, Xiang Shang stopped and looked at the map, "This is Thunder Mountain...compared to modern maps..."
Xiang Shang once again took out a brand new map, which was published three years ago and is relatively accurate.
"Xiaoyao Mountain Range, Zhongting Mountain." Xiang Shang suddenly focused on a location.
If he guessed correctly, the Shenxiao Pavilion is most likely located somewhere in Zhongting Mountain in the Xiaoyao Mountain Range.
In other words, if what is recorded in Wang Guangju's biography is true and is in the same place as the ruins discovered by Zhang Hangshan, then it must be on Zhongting Mountain.
Xiang Shang had a strong hunch in his heart that the location he found was probably real.
But at this moment, he hesitated a little.
He was thinking about whether he should go there and verify it.
Ruins, the entire Daxia Alliance has only discovered a dozen large ruins and hundreds of small ruins in the past hundred years.
There are only five or six large-scale ruins that have actually been developed, but the gains obtained from even these five or six ruins have shocked the entire Daxia Alliance.
And with this, countless cultivators have gone a step further and broken through to the innate world, and there are even people who have entered a higher realm from the innate world.
As for small ruins, it can also allow a family to rise quickly and jump from the bottom to a first-class, or even top-level force.
It can be said that every time a relic appears, the martial arts of the Daxia Alliance will develop further.
Therefore, the ruins are equivalent to opportunities and adventures for all cultivators. They have infinite temptation no matter who they are.
This is also the reason why Zhang Hangshan discovered the ruins but did not leak it out, but went there secretly.
The benefits of monopolizing the ruins are self-evident.
But the danger involved is naturally great.
Xiang Shang can't guarantee that with his current strength, he can escape unscathed from the ruins.
Zhang Hangshan left eight years ago and never returned. Since then, there has been no news. It is very likely that he will be imprisoned and die. Comparing his strength, he thinks that he is not as good as this senior now.
But he is not without advantages, that is, in terms of formations, he is definitely much better than this senior. After all, he has the Enlightenment Pearl, and he also has the formation iron scroll of senior Chen Daoyang. In terms of formations, he is not weak in confidence.
To people.
The most terrifying thing about the ruins is its formation.
"Go, of course." Xiang Shang gritted his teeth.
"The road to martial arts is inherently full of thorns. If you give up entering the ruins because you are afraid of danger, that would be a real joke." Xiang Shang quickly made a decision.
When he made the decision, his nervous and hesitant heart immediately relaxed.
He turned his head and looked around. Seeing that no one else noticed him, he slowly put the collected materials back into the library and walked outside.
On the way, Xiang Shang was also thinking quickly.
"You must go, but you can't go unprepared. In addition to the dangers of the ruins themselves, before entering the ruins and reaching Zhongting Mountain where the ruins are located, you have to cross a small half of the Xiaoyao Mountains. This is
It is far more dangerous than the wild places south of the city. There are as many ferocious beasts in the awakening realm as dogs, and even higher-level ferocious beasts are not uncommon."
The Xiaoyao Mountain Range is densely populated with ferocious beasts. The awakening-level ferocious beasts are just normal. The truly terrifying ones are the psychic-realm ferocious beasts above the awakening stage, which are equivalent to the acquired realm of warriors.
The ferocious beasts in the psychic realm already have considerable wisdom. Not only are they more powerful, but they also have the ability to learn, so people usually call these ferocious beasts monsters.
The ferocious beasts in the psychic realm are small demons, and the ferocious beasts in the innate realm that are higher up in the psychic realm are big demons.
The Little Demon Mountain Range is famous as the base of Jiangzhou City precisely because of the rampant presence of little demons in it.
"Fortunately, Zhongting Mountain is located on the outskirts of the Xiaoyao Mountain Range. If you are lucky, you won't encounter ferocious beasts at the level of the Psychic Realm. However, necessary preparations must still be made."
Xiang Shang thought of the severed tail of the giant beast.
Now that I think about it, that giant beast should be a ferocious beast at the level of the psychic realm. As for the giant eagle, even if it is not a great demon in the innate realm, it is definitely the top existence in the psychic realm and the strongest among the little demons.
Although Xiang Shang had eaten most of the flesh and blood of the giant beast's severed tail in the psychic realm, he still retained the leather armor on the outer layer of the severed tail.
"With the toughness of the outer leather armor, it should be possible to make a suit to protect the whole body. Then I need a sword with enough power, and I also need the knowledge of formations that I can use, so I also need
A batch of prepared formation disks and talismans..."
Once Xiang Shang makes a decision, he will not hesitate. He will think about it in all aspects while walking, and he must ensure his own safety.
"I didn't expect that the identity of the guest elder of the Zhang family would come into play so quickly." Xiang Shang thought to himself and felt a sense of relief.
If he were to prepare everything by himself, it would definitely take a long time. But if it were left to the Zhang family, it would be completely different. According to the agreement, some of his requirements must be met.
Asking them to help him buy some things is naturally a requirement of the agreement.
Of course, he still has to pay for the required expenses. However, relying on Zhangjia Auction House, he can not only save a lot of time, but also the expenses required to purchase things will be reduced accordingly.
The channel through which the other party purchases things will naturally save him a fortune.
"But in this case, I will also serve snacks for the elixir requested by the other party." Thinking of this, Xiang Shang turned around and walked back to the commercial street.
When Xiang Shang returned to the wooden house again, it was already an hour later.
In the commercial street, Xiang Shang purchased a large number of spiritual materials, processed them one by one, and started refining alchemy again.
…
The next day, Xiang Shang once again went to the door of Zhangjia Auction House.
This time, when the middle-aged man Zhang Zhongyu faced Xiang Shang, he became obviously more respectful, and he complied with Xiang Shang's requests one by one without any shirk.
And when he saw Xiang Shang taking out several bottles of elixir, the smile on his face became deeper and more enthusiastic.
These elixirs were refined overnight by Xiang Shang. Although the effects are limited to the main materials and are not as good as the previous bottle because they are not made from the blood of ferocious beasts in the Psychic Realm, the blood of the Wolf King in the late Awakening Realm is not bad either.
The color and quality of the finished pills also reached the top level, so Zhang Zhongyu was naturally happy.
"The last thing is this animal skin. I wonder if you can find the right person here to help me buy a battle uniform with good defensive performance." When the things to be purchased were purchased through Zhang Zhongyu, Xiang Shang finally took out
He picked up the severed tail leather armor of the giant beast in the psychic realm.
