Gu Qing also knows that there are alchemists everywhere in the world, and there are many masters of alchemy, but masters of alchemy are very rare.
Even the Tiandan Sect, which focuses on alchemy, has only two alchemy masters. One is the ancestor of the Xianmen himself, and the other is Elder Han from the North Mountain of the Xianmen. He has been in seclusion all year round, although he is not a big master.
He comes from a cultivating immortal family, but as Elder Han's alchemy master, he ranks first among the dozen or so alchemy elders of the Tiandan Sect.
"With my cultivation in the middle stage of cultivation, if I can be promoted to an alchemy master, I can make Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xinwu, the two old alchemy monsters, restrain themselves!"
Gu Qing thought of this and immediately took out the Qi Yao Dan Furnace and the Li Yan Dan Furnace, placed them on the back of the sixth-order demon dragon, and took out a large amount of spiritual grass from the Xingya Cliff of the Immortal Mansion, while traveling far away, while refining the elixir.
For several days, Gu Qing concentrated on refining elixirs on the back of the demon dragon. From the fourth-level Qingling Pill to the seventh-level Shouyuan Pill, Gu Qing refined many kinds of elixirs, and his alchemy skills became more and more advanced.
Skillful.
In the end, Gu Qing discovered that just like the fifth-level top-grade Yueju Spirit Wine, once the elixir production rate reaches more than 90%, no matter how much more you refine the alchemy, the alchemy will remain stagnant. Only by refining new elixirs can you have new ones.
Harvest!
So Gu Qing went along the way, picking spiritual grasses and flowers scattered in the wilderness, planting them in the fairy fields of the Immortal Mansion, growing a large number of top-quality spiritual grasses, and then refining new elixirs based on Tiandanmen's various elixir recipes.
, constantly improving the level of alchemy.
The sixth-level demon dragon followed Gu Qing and gradually flew out of the wilderness, encountering more spiritual grasses along the way.
Gu Qing took out the map jade slip and looked at it again, confirming that he had entered the southern border of Wu State. As for Xishan and Xishan County, the only state city with a teleportation array, he could only see the general direction and outline on the map, and
Unable to determine the exact location.
"I'm flying south with the demon dragon, and I'm sure I can't make a mistake! After leaving the uninhabited wilderness, I should encounter monks from southern Xinjiang. Then I can ask a few people for directions, and it's not difficult to ask for directions from Xishan County.
Where.”
Gu Qing made up his mind and continued southbound. As the number of new spiritual herbs he encountered on the road increased, Gu Qing was delayed a lot of time in collecting herbs and making elixirs.
On this day, Gu Qing finally saw the rolling mountains in the south, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance!
"Is this Xishan? Or is it the end of the southern border of the Wu Kingdom, the 100,000 Mountains south of Xishan?"
Gu Qing could not tell whether he had taken a long detour these days and whether he had passed Khe Sanh.
If there are hundreds of thousands of mountains ahead, Gu Qing needs to be careful. It is like a chasm leading to the Fire Barbarian Land. With his cultivation and strength, it is impossible to cross. If the mountains in front are Xishan,
On the contrary, it is easier to deal with. There are no high-level monsters above level seven in Xishan, so naturally they cannot threaten Gu Qing.
Gu Qing drove the demon dragon and flew across the mountains, paying attention to the movements of the monsters in the mountains. If there was any giant monster, Gu Qing could escape at any time.
Fortunately, what he saw were just low-level spiritual rabbits and mandrills. It was not like a place where high-level monsters roamed. Instead, the fields were full of spiritual flowers. There were many spiritual grasses that Gu Qing had never seen before, which attracted him.
Attention, Gu Qing pressed down the faucet and jumped down to pick the spiritual flowers.
At this moment, several sword rays flew from the top of the mountain. Gu Qing saw it from a distance and quickly summoned the sixth-order demon dragon. He stopped and waited for the arrival of these sword rays.
"Brother, I thought I saw a dragon shadow just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
A clear girl's voice came, getting closer and closer to Gu Qing. Then the girl discovered Gu Qing on the hillside, and let out a light sigh: "Brother, look, there is a strange monk on our mountain.
!I have never seen him before, is he a friend of eldest brother?"
Gu Qing looked up suddenly and saw a man and two women coming together with sword lights. Although they were different in age and stature, they looked somewhat similar to each other. They were obviously brothers and sisters.
The leader was a man in a green shirt who was on the seventh level. He frowned, glared at Gu Qing rather unkindly, and said warily: "Who are you? Why do you want to break into our Qiuyuan Villa?"
Following him was a female cultivator in crimson clothes with a gloomy pretty face, staring coldly at Gu Qing, ready to take action at any time.
Only the girl with a clear and tender voice, dressed in a yellow dress, looked at Gu Qing with her eyes full of curiosity.
Gu Qing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am a casual cultivator and I passed by here by chance. I have no ill intentions! May I ask some of you, is this the boundary of Xishan Prefecture? I wonder where the capital of Xishan Prefecture is?"
The man in green shirt was still vigilant and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you broke into our village without permission. You should have been questioned! But you are lucky today. We brothers and sisters have something to do and don't bother to talk to you. Go somewhere else quickly! Otherwise, you will be alarmed.
Zhuang Ding, it's too late for you to leave!"
As he spoke, the man in the green shirt walked away with his sleeves, followed closely by the female cultivator in the crimson skirt. The girl in the yellow skirt made a face at Gu Qing, stuck out her tongue and said: "My eldest brother has been upset recently, don't make him unhappy.
Hee hee, this is the boundary of Xishan. You want to go to Xishan City! You have to walk along the foothills and continue to the southeast."
Gu Qing nodded slightly and responded, flying to the southeast with his sword light, but he heard the female cultivator in a crimson dress who had never spoken a word say in a deep voice: "Brother! What he is stepping on is a fifth-level top-grade wooden flying sword.
He should have some strength. Why not recruit him to join the team and win the place to enter Xishan Tianfeng Gorge on behalf of our Qiuyuan Villa!"
The man in green shirt was stunned and immediately shouted: "Fellow Taoist, please stay! I, the young master of the village, have something to discuss with you."
It is obvious that the young owner of Qiuyuan Villa has softened his tone and is much more enthusiastic than before!
Gu Qing stopped the light of his sword, turned around and said calmly: "What's the matter? If it doesn't do me any good, I won't accompany you. I'm still on my way."
The green-shirted young manor's face turned bright and he said with a smile: "On behalf of our village, I sincerely invite fellow Taoists to join the team! Regardless of whether this is successful or not, I will give you three thousand spiritual stones!"
Gu Qing was bored and shook his head: "There are only three thousand spirit stones, please don't touch Gu. The young master of the village invites Gao Ming to take his leave!"
The pretty face of the female cultivator in the crimson dress sank, and she said displeasedly: "Lingshi is a trivial matter! If you are willing to join our team at Qiuyuan Villa, fight side by side with us, and win the opportunity to enter Xishan Tianfeng Gorge, go in
No matter how hard it is to hunt for treasure, it will cost more than thousands of spirit stones! Even if you just meditate and breathe out in the Tianfeng Canyon, the rich spiritual energy in it will be very beneficial to the improvement of your cultivation! Don't try to pull it down."
Gu Qing's heart moved and he said in surprise: "Oh? Xishan Tianfeng Gorge, where is that place? Is the spiritual energy stronger than here?"
The girl in the yellow skirt said with a smile: "I don't know. Of the three of us, only the eldest brother has been there! It is said that it is very, very strong. Staying for three to five days can at least improve my cultivation from the second level to the third level.
!”
The young owner of Qiuyuan Villa nodded and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry! Xishan is tens of thousands of miles away. When Tianfeng Canyon opens, many surrounding cultivating families and nearby sects will send monks to participate! Helpless
The opening time of Tianfeng Gorge is too short, and due to limited cultivation, it is only enough for more than a thousand monks to enter. Therefore, according to the practice of previous years, each sect and cultivating families, large and small, will send out teams of monks to compete for the quota to enter Tianfeng Gorge.
."
Gu Qing finally understood that since there is such a good place, it is indeed worth a try!
Seeing that Gu Qing was silent, the young master of the village continued: "It's a pity that our Qiuyuan Villa has lost its talent, and only three of us, brothers and sisters, can participate. Why don't fellow Taoists join our team, let's call it the village's guests, and the four of us will compete.
If you have a quota to enter the canyon, you have a better chance of winning! What do fellow Taoists think?"
Gu Qing smiled calmly: "Okay! Gu has nothing to do and is not in a hurry to rush to Xishanzhou City. I will just go with you to see Tianfeng Gorge and meet the heroes of Xishan!"
The three brothers and sisters of Qiuyuan Villa were all delighted when they saw Gu Qing's willingness to agree, and their previous depression was swept away!
The young master of Qingshan Villa smiled and said: "Great! Fellow Taoist is willing to join the team, and all four of us have the hope of entering Tianfeng Gorge! Zhuo Yunhe of Xiaqiuyuan Villa, these are the second sister Yunfeng and the third sister Yunxi
, we have not yet asked fellow Taoist’s name.”
Zhuo Yunfeng, who was wearing a crimson dress, had a stern smile on her face, but she was still deeply blessed and bowed her head. Needless to say, the third sister Zhuo Yunxi was still young, so she smiled at everyone.
Welcome Gu Qing to join the team with small hands.
Gu Qing was very polite when he saw the three brothers and sisters. In addition, Xishan is in the remote southern border, and the Zhou family's great cultivators may not be able to find this place. So Gu Qing also told the truth, cupped his hands and said: "I'm here
Gu Qing! Please tell me in detail how the Zhuo brothers and sisters can compete for the quota to enter Tianfeng Gorge?"
Zhuo Yunhe, the young master of the village, responded: "Well! Without further ado, let's leave now! We'll talk to fellow Taoists on the way."
Along the way, under the detailed introductions of the Zhuo brothers and sisters, Gu Qing gained a general understanding of the Xishan Immortal Cultivation World. It turns out that those who can compete for the spot in Tianfeng Gorge are not necessarily rich or noble, but that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
Only for local monks in Khe Sanh.
As for which sect and family in Khe Sanh can send out how many teams of monks to participate in the competition, it is all decided by the five great elixir condensation old monsters in Khe Sanh! They all have their own power in the Xishan Cultivation World.
The most powerful one is Xishan Prefecture located in the southeast of Xishan. It is presided over by the Lord of Ningdan City, allowing major chambers of commerce and shops to send teams of no more than five monks to participate. It also allows those born and raised in Xishan Prefecture.
Casual cultivators participate in the competition.
Qiuyuan Villa, where the Zhuo brothers and sisters live, is located in the north of Xishan Mountain. It is a distant branch of the local Zhuo family, which is a great cultivator of immortals. It is not considered a direct descendant of the Zhuo family and is often ignored by the clan members.
But at any rate, they also had the right to compete for the spot in Tianfeng Gorge, but the number of people was sparse, and there were only three of them, brother and sister, among the cultivators, so they came up with the idea of inviting Gu Qing to join the team.
After hearing this, Gu Qing asked about who he would fight against for a spot in the canyon, how many fights he would have to fight, and what the opponent's situation was like. He had to know himself and the enemy and know what he was doing.
Zhuo Yunhe, the young master of the village, smiled bitterly and said: "We will fight with our Zhuo clan first. If we can win over the direct descendants of the eldest family, the ancestors will also recommend us to fight against the other four powerful teams of Xishan until the end.
If you reach 200 teams in the battle, you can enter the Tianfeng Canyon when the Tianfeng is at its weakest!"
