The green light that came quickly circled in front of the Xuanqing Mountain Gate, and then fell outside the mountain gate. The light dissipated, revealing a young man in a green shirt. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with dark skin.
He has an ordinary appearance, with long hair tied up casually on the back of his head, but he looks extremely capable.
The person who came was none other than Li Yan. He had actually arrived here yesterday, but he saw a city on the map, so he went directly there to see if he could have any luck finding the materials he needed, but he was in Fangfang.
After walking around the city for a whole day, I didn't gain anything at all. I had to be disappointed and saw that no one was following me before leaving Defang City. However, it was already dark. I thought that the teleportation array would not be activated if I came in the middle of the night, so I looked for a place.
Sitting cross-legged and meditating in a cave, he arrived at the Xuanqing Temple early this morning. Looking at the mottled handwriting on the gate, Li Yan nodded, confirming that he was in the right place.
Kong Nantai looked at the green light coming from the sky outside the mountain gate, and there was no surprise on his face. Although Xuanqing Sect was not a famous sect, nor did it practice weapons and talismans, it was good at formations.
There is quite a bit of research into defensive formations and short-distance teleportation formations, and their Taoist temple is somewhat famous in the world of immortality.
There is a market two hundred miles away from the Taoist temple. The Taoist priests of Xuanqing Temple also need to accumulate cultivation resources. Seeing this, they spent a lot of money to build two teleportation arrays in the Taoist temple and develop them externally.
, as a result, many foreign monks will enter and exit Xuanqing Temple every day, and the purpose is to borrow the teleportation array in the Taoist temple. Although there are teleportation arrays in Fangshi, the teleportation fee is too expensive, so many monks still prefer to teleport to Xuanqing.
After viewing, fly two hundred miles there by yourself, this can save unconscious spiritual stones. This is also a way for Xuanqing Temple to make money. There is an ancestor Jindan Daxiu in the temple, so the city will not offend easily.
of.
However, a monk came over this early in the morning, which still made Kong Nantai's face flashed with surprise. He lost interest as soon as his consciousness swept away. The other person was only at the Qi Condensation stage. He turned around and shouted to a disciple behind him: "
Go and ask the other person why he is here?"
A young Taoist priest immediately appeared behind him. After bowing respectfully, he flew out of the mountain gate.
Li Yan stood quietly outside the mountain gate. He had already seen a group of people patrolling inside the mountain gate. As expected, after the other party saw him, a person flew towards him. ??
The young Taoist priest soon arrived in front of Li Yan. When he came over, his spiritual consciousness had already glanced at Li Yan's cultivation level. He was actually a little higher than him. He raised a single palm and bowed his head.
, with a smile on his face, he said, "Fellow Taoist, please, why are you here at Xuanqing Monastery?" He was extremely polite to Li Yan. In fact, they had already guessed Li Yan's intention, and it was just a routine question.
Just asking, these guests are a major source of spiritual stones for the Taoist temple, so they should be polite to the host.
"Oh, I wonder if there is a teleportation array in your temple heading towards Linshui City?" Li Yan said with a trace of anxiety on his expression.
"Oh, there are two teleportation arrays in this temple, one facing the north and one facing the east. Taoist friend said that Linshui City is the last teleportation node to the north, so it can be reached." The young Taoist priest heard that Li Yan wanted to teleport.
He couldn't help but smile a little more. This was the farthest place their teleportation array could reach to the north. The teleportation spirit stone was worth a lot of money.
"Oh, how many spiritual stones are needed?" The anxiety on Li Yan's face was even more obvious.
Seeing this, the young Taoist priest had already guessed Li Yan's origin. This Qi Condensation Stage monk must be in an emergency. Judging from the speed at which he flew just now, there is nothing good about flying spiritual treasures or magic weapons, but he is in a hurry. This is because he is worried about his own spiritual stone."
The smile on his face grew wider, "Since you are here, fellow Taoist, you should know that our Taoist temple is the only two nearby ones that offer teleportation, and you also know that the price of teleportation at our temple is fair, otherwise you wouldn't come here."
, the teleportation distance to Linshui City is nearly 8,000 miles, and a single person needs 300 low-level spiritual stones. However, this needs to be explained clearly to fellow Taoists. Generally, at least six people in the same direction can open a teleportation array.
But fellow Taoists, please rest assured that the number of people will basically be gathered every half day. Of course, if fellow Taoists include the five nearest nodes and the spiritual stones where they want to go, they can also teleport alone." After that, he smiled carefully.
Looking at Li Yan, he was confident that the price he quoted was not too expensive. Although there was not much difference between eight thousand miles and ten thousand miles, the construction of a teleportation array over ten thousand miles was completely different, which required extremely high attainments in space formations.
Before it can be arranged, even if it is an extra mile, it may cause spatial deviation. As the saying goes, "a slight difference is a thousand miles." The teleportation spirit stone starts from a thousand pieces.
The teleportation array is divided into single-node teleportation and multi-node teleportation. Single-node teleportation arrays are the most common. They are usually used by the sect itself for fixed-point teleportation. Just fill in the spirit stones and activate the array. Multi-node teleportation is usually used by cultivators in chambers of commerce.
Above, multiple exits will be established in one direction. The person being transported will be branded with a node before entering the teleportation array. Whenever he reaches a node, the brand will teleport the person out after sensing the aura of the corresponding node, without affecting other people at all.
People who are teleporting at the same time, but if someone cancels the brand on their body, the consequences are unimaginable. The teleportation becomes undirected teleportation. Usually after reaching the last node of the teleportation array, they are unable to teleport out and are randomly teleported into the turbulent space.
Go, it will be difficult to survive once you get there.
In the mortal world, teleportation arrays are divided into three categories: one is short-distance teleportation, usually within ten thousand miles, the other is medium-distance teleportation, which is within one hundred thousand miles, and the third is long-distance teleportation, which is also the farthest distance in the mortal world, one million miles.
Inside, this is just a generalization. As far as Li Yan knows, the entire Desolate Moon Continent, even like the Sprite Sect, is only 700,000 miles away. Li Yan has also read in classics that there was a kind of super long-distance teleportation in ancient times.
The formation can be teleported up to tens of millions of miles. The teleportation requires the best spiritual stones, and it also requires special teleportation techniques to activate. Due to the extremely harsh teleportation conditions, this ultra-long-distance teleportation array has long since disappeared in the long river of history.
.
Activating the teleportation array once is also very expensive, so it usually involves multiple people teleporting at the same time, with multiple node exits in the same direction. If anyone reaches the node and is willing to pay the full cost, they only need to spend five more to go to the nearest node.
stone, plus your own expenses.
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded first to show that he understood, but his expression was uneasy and he couldn't help but show embarrassment. His expression fell into the eyes of the young Taoist priest, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He could understand what the expression of the person in front of him meant. If Li Yan
If he directly showed disappointment or even unwillingness, then there would be no chance. It was obvious that he did not have enough spirit stones, but he would still lobby and persuade Li Yan to teleport to a node that was a short distance to the north. That would at least shorten the flight distance.
But at this moment, Li Yan showed such an expression, it was obvious that he still had enough spirit stones, but the price was a bit difficult for him to accept.
The young Taoist priest continued, "This is a very fair price. If we fly there on our own for a distance of eight thousand miles without good flying spiritual treasures or magic weapons, we will have to fly for several days to get there. And I will wait for you on the way."
Qi-condensing monks are also extremely dangerous. Not to mention those first- and second-level monsters, even if they encounter several monks traveling together and become malicious during the encounter, it is not something that lone Qi-condensing monks like us can withstand."
The young Taoist priest was also very familiar with the art of persuading people, and he directly took the other party's lifeline. He was also confident that what he said was coming out. The other party was still hesitant at first, but at this time, his heart was out of balance.
After saying that, the young Taoist priest looked at Li Yan sincerely, as if he was thinking for him. Seeing that Li Yan's face was more struggling, the young Taoist priest sneered in his heart, but his face was still as if bathed in the spring breeze.
Not long after, as he had guessed, the expression on Li Yan's face changed drastically several times. He gritted his teeth and his voice was a little dry: "This fellow Taoist is here to invite you. You also know that it is not easy for us Qi Condensation monks, especially people like us."
As a monk from a small sect, I wonder if I can be accommodating and give some discounts."
Seeing this, the young Taoist priest knew that his words had had an effect, but there was a troubled look on his face, as if he was constantly thinking about it. Under Li Yan's almost pleading eyes, he finally said, "This... is difficult. The transmission fee is too high."
, but there is an uncle on duty who is waiting to teleport to the north today, but he has an old relationship with my master..."
After the two of them whispered a few words, they finally settled on it. Li Yan promised that when he could step onto the teleportation array after delivering 220 spiritual stones, he would pay the other party fifty more spiritual stones.
The other party will pay it to the uncle, and it will be regarded as an accommodation fee. As for whether the young Taoist priest should keep it for himself or share it equally with others, Li Yan doesn't care. In short, he can just do the whole show himself. Anyway, in the end, he will save money
Got thirty spiritual stones.
After the young Taoist priest saw that the negotiation was settled, he was not worried that Li Yan would go back on his word. After asking about Li Yan's origin, he checked his Blood Leaf Sect token. Li Yan directly used his own name without concealing it. The young Taoist priest seemed to know that he was interested in Li Yan.
The Blood Leaf Sect also knew it. After seeing the gray token, his eyes flashed a few times, and he looked at Li Yan carefully, and then asked about the Blood Leaf Sect in detail. Li Yan naturally said
All he knew was answered. Fortunately, the few people he knew were all senior members of the Blood Leaf Sect. This was in line with the young Taoist priest's conjecture that Li Yan might be a direct descendant of the Blood Leaf Sect. Such people often looked down on other peers who were cultivating immortals.
Ordinarily, he rarely interacts with his fellow sect members, and he doesn’t know much about the lower levels of the sect, just like Uncle Luo just now.
At this time, Kong Nantai and other people inside the mountain gate have already gone to inspect other places. A dozen of them are on duty today, and they will encounter monks like Li Yan who come to borrow the teleportation array later.
They will all take their turn to come forward to investigate. As for who can get how much benefit from the foreign monks in the end, it all depends on personal luck and eloquence. These Taoist temples are rarely taken care of, but if someone opens his mouth and messes up the rules
, what greeted him was the anger of the sect, so most disciples can get some small conveniences, but there are still many disciples who are unwilling to patrol. Many masters here often For people who travel to and from the city every year, the price has long been transparent. After all, there are not many people like Li Yan.
So when the young Taoist priest came to inquire about Li Yan, they just looked at him from a distance. Although they saw that Li Yan was a stranger, they could only sigh in their hearts. Who allowed the young Taoist priest to have a relationship with Master Kong? A group of people
They left early. As for whether they were worried about people like Li Yan bursting into flames, injuring others, grabbing tokens, and teleporting inside themselves, they were not worried. There were endless formations in Xuanqing Temple, often in the form of a series of mother-and-son formations.
The trigger moves the whole body. Even if they get the Xuanqing Temple Token, they will not be able to go deep into the Taoist Temple without the leadership of the disciples. They are very confident about this. Unless the Nascent Soul Stage monks come to attack, they will not be able to go deep into the Taoist Temple at all.
Free movement within the Taoist temple.
Seeing that the conversation was settled, the young Taoist priest took out his token and led Li Yan into Xuanqing Temple. This man was quite talkative, but Li Yan only replied with a few words. Fortunately, he looked sad.
His appearance made others think that something was on his mind, but the young Taoist priest didn't care at all.
During the conversation, Li Yan also learned that the young Taoist priest's name was "Feng Zhiran". As they were going around and around, Feng Zhiran took out his token and waved it somewhere from time to time. Li Yan found that every time the token was shaken, something happened.
There was a flash of light everywhere, whether it was an inconspicuous rock, a grass in a patch of weeds, or a pavilion on the roadside on the way up the mountain. The color of the light was always different, which made Li Yan's eyes flash.
After thinking about it, Feng Zhiran seemed to know it. He was quite proud of the look in Li Yan's eyes. He couldn't help but introduce it, "My Xuanqing Guan is talking about practicing skills, refining talismans and making weapons. It's really incomparable to others."
Compared with other sects, this formation has been passed down for a long time. All the formations in the sect were personally arranged by the ancestor of Yuanying tens of thousands of years ago. Even if the Yuanying monks come to attack, they can't even think of breaking through without a master. But since
After the ancestor of Yuanying went out to transform into a god, there was no news about it, and the sect plummeted. I heard that the ancestor of Yuanying once served as the guest elder of the Sprite Sect..."
Li Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the second-rate sect he came from had such a glorious past and was actually related to the Demon Sect. It seems that no sect should be underestimated. Those who can stand for a long time must be strong.
It has a profound foundation.
The two of them walked along the way, walked through the mountain gate and climbed up the mountain, and shuttled between some pavilions. They also met some Taoist priests. When these Taoist priests saw Li Yan, they were all polite and composed with one hand.
Li Yan felt the spiritual energy here. Although it was much inferior to the Demon Sect, it was still three points better than the Blood Leaf Sect. This was already excellent for ordinary monks.
As they circled around, they had reached the top of the mountain. The Taoist temple hall on the top of the mountain was grand. Occasionally, the melodious sound of bells and bells lingered around the top of the mountain and floated around. As Feng Zhiran turned around the front hall and passed through the nine-curved corridor, a large
A pond appeared in front of Li Yan. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom in July. The green lotus leaves were lush and green, covering the surface of the pond. The fragrance floated in the wind, and it was refreshing to take a sip.
Surrounding the edge of the pond, among the carved rocks near and far, the quiet white magnolia forest, ginkgo forest and rippling blue waves make the place more tranquil and deep. A stone path goes around the pond, stretches to the rear, and surrounds most of the pond bank.
There is a row of antique pavilions, which are lined up next to the pond and spread out in a semi-arc shape. The large windows are either closed or open facing the pond.
