To the east of Taiqiu Mountain, except for a few relatively flat areas along the Tianhe River, most of the remaining areas are made up of continuous mountains.
Although the scale and height of these peaks are not comparable to the Hengduan Mountains, there are not many spiritual plants and monsters hidden in them.
However, since the two major sects, the Corpse Ghost Sect and the Xianyuan Sect, are more active in the eastern part of the continent, most areas in the mountains have been visited by human monks.
Therefore, compared to the Hengduan Mountains, these spiritual plants and monster beasts in the mountains in the eastern part of the mainland are more hidden.
Most of their locations are in places that are difficult for human monks to find.
At this time, on a night when everything was silent, a swift dark blue light passed over the continuous mountains.
It was silent, leaving no trace except for a faint cyan light and shadow where it passed.
Sometimes there are some monster beasts with powerful spiritual consciousness hidden in the mountains. Their perception can break through the breath gathering formation on the Mo Qing flying boat and detect the aura belonging to the human monks inside.
But even if the monster could sense the presence of Li Xuangang, it would not attack Mo Qing Feizhou rashly.
This is not only because the Mo Qing flying boat flies too fast, and their escape skills may not be able to catch up.
Moreover, many years of survival experience tell them that monks who dare to travel alone among the mountains will definitely not be able to compete with their peers.
Most of their cultivation strengths are above the third-level mid-level.
If you attack them rashly because of temporary greed, the consequences are likely to be very unfriendly to them.
Maybe the entire attack operation will not yield any gains, and the worst case scenario is that the attack fails, but you also lose yourself.
In the end, not only did he lose his life in vain, but he also became a special resource in the other party's practice.
"Human monks are too cunning. Our ancestors have taught us that we must be careful!"
The monsters whose spiritual consciousness is powerful enough to detect Li Xuangang have lived for at least hundreds of years, and their cultivation level is at least a high-level monster of level three or above.
Therefore, although their intelligence is not very high, they still have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and not to provoke beings they cannot afford to offend.
They do not want to become a cultivation resource for human monks!
It is precisely because of this that Li Xuangang set out from his family's Taiqiu Mountain and fled for dozens of days without encountering any obstacles on the way, not even a monster that accidentally exposed himself due to his recklessness.
...
Because Li Xuangang's main skill is the Nine Corpses Returning to the Origin Art, the strength of his spiritual consciousness is already at the peak that a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage can achieve.
Therefore, during the flight of Mo Qing Feizhou, he can often detect the existence of these high-level monsters before they notice him.
However, his purpose of leaving the family this time was obviously not to collect resources, so even if he found some monsters or the aura of low-level spiritual plants, he did not go down to see what happened.
Instead, it just passed by without stopping at all.
The location of the third-order Venom Spider King has not been completely determined, and he does not want to waste time.
...
...
The cold moonlight was thrown away, like a veil covering the undulating land. Sometimes, in the places where mountains intersect, you can still vaguely see some shining lights and shadows.
The rays of light reflected from different places are intertwined in mid-air, making them look particularly mysterious.
It gives people the illusion that a powerful monster is entrenched here.
Compared with this illusion, Li Xuangang believed more in his own spiritual consciousness and being prepared for any danger.
Therefore, after carefully inspecting the hidden magic circle on Mo Qing's flying boat, he called Zheng Da out of the source space and asked him to take over the control of the flying boat.
After handing over the control token of the flying boat, he turned around and returned to the cabin, then sat cross-legged. Not long after, Li Xuangang, who was holding his breath and concentrating, fell into a state of cultivation.
He held two spiritual stones in his hands, and as the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual stones was gradually absorbed by him, the slightly deficient spiritual power in his body gradually began to become full.
"Calculating the time, the sixth uncle should have arrived at the location of the black crystal mineral vein, and the eighth uncle is still in the family, so there should be no problems with the mining and follow-up of the mineral vein."
After meditating in his heart, he no longer felt any burden. After a while, he completely cut off his external spiritual consciousness and began to practice with concentration.
...
Under the black screen, Zheng Da, who was standing at the head of Mo Qing's flying boat, turned his head and glanced behind him, then raised his head and stared at the bright moon in the night sky.
The white moonlight reflected in his pure black eyes, and then all of them were attracted in, as if the moonlight was trapped in two black whirlpools, unable to escape, and could only be pulled and collapsed.
Gradually, the stiff body covered by black clothes began to have a faint corpse aura lingering, and an extremely secretive and sinister aura also emerged from his feet, and gradually began to spread around, until the entire body of the Mo Qing Feizhou was covered.
Once it is covered, it will no longer spread outward.
The aura that Li Xuangang released unconsciously due to his immersion in cultivation was completely covered up by this aura, and his presence could no longer be sensed from the outside of the flying boat.
The extremely fast speed brought gusts of wind one after another. After Zhengda used his own innate secret technique to cover up all the aura of the flying boat, he withdrew his gaze and returned to his normal state.
With a face as clear as water, he controlled the flying boat to prevent it from being too bumpy in such strong wind.
As a result, the Mo Qing flying boat flew all the way north, getting closer and closer to Li Xuangang's destination within the Xianyuan Sect.
...
...
After flying away for nearly a month, Mo Qing Feizhou finally left the realm of the Corpse Ghost Sect and entered the territory of the Northern Immortal Yuan Sect.
On the side of a hill, the Mo Qing flying boat came to a halt here, its entire body suspended in mid-air.
Among them, Zhengda, who was located at the head of the boat, stopped casting spells and took back the control token of the flying boat.
While holding the token, he turned around and walked towards the cabin of the flying boat. When he arrived in front of Li Xuangang who was sitting cross-legged, he said softly:
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
Hearing the voice, Li Xuangang slowly opened his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Zongda, with a trace of questioning in his eyes.
Faced with this look, the latter understood clearly. While handing over the control token of the flying boat in his hand, he also opened his mouth to explain:
"Your Majesty, beyond this hill, not far further, we will reach Qimingfang City, where we should be able to find the clues we want."
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Xuangang stood up and took the control token of Mo Qing Feizhou from Zhengda's hand.
"Well, I understand."
He put the token away and stepped out of the cabin. The bright and dazzling sunshine outside was still a bit uncomfortable, so he subconsciously raised his right hand and put it in front of his forehead to block it slightly.
However, this strangeness only lasted for a moment. Almost as soon as Li Xuangang left the cabin and took the second step, the palm of his right hand had already been put down.
The eyes have adapted to the bright light from the outside world.
He jumped out from the Mo Qing flying boat and hung in mid-air. Zhengda moved with it and also stopped in mid-air.
After looking around the surroundings to make sure that nothing unusual was found, Li Xuangang waved his hand and put the Mo Qing Feizhou in front of him into his storage bag.
"Walk!"
After greeting Zhengda beside him, Li Xuangang took the lead and turned into a ray of light and flew towards the other side of the hill.
When Zhengda heard the order, he naturally did not hesitate at all. He immediately activated the spiritual power in his body and turned into a black escaping light to follow.
The two of them crossed the hills one after another, and what appeared in front of them were several peaks that were not very high, but could not be said to be very short either.
When the escaping light they transformed passed between these mountain peaks, what finally appeared in front of them was a basin located between the mountains.
In sight, there is a huge building complex in the center of the basin.
The outside is square and square, and the buildings inside are neatly arranged!
According to the information obtained from the clan member in the Family Affairs Pavilion, this place should be the medium-sized city within the Xianyuan Sect: Qimingfang City.
...
...
In front of the city gate of Qimingfang City, there is an avenue for caravans to pass.
This avenue is very wide. In addition to the caravans and beasts belonging to the major cultivating forces walking along it, there are also some casual cultivators mixed in.
Due to the large number of people talking, the closer to the entrance to the market, the denser the monks are, so it becomes more chaotic.
Among them, many monks in the Qi Refining Stage were chatting and making noises. There were even some casual monks who came out of the market and wanted to pick up the pieces and were fooling the leading monks of some small caravans.
"Fellow Taoist, I believe I have been around Qimingfang City since I was a child, and I know the managers of many big stores in Fang City."
"I can find a buyer for this batch of your goods in a short time. Although the price will be slightly lower than the market price, if the transaction can be successful as soon as possible, it will not only save you a fortune in the custody of the goods, but also save money."
Your time will not be delayed on your return journey."
"And I will never be involved in the entire transaction process. I am only responsible for the intermediate liaison. Whether the negotiation can be concluded depends on your own wishes."
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. I only need fifty low-grade spiritual stones."
"It doesn't matter. This time I have made a good relationship. I only need forty-five low-grade spiritual stones. But if you can successfully complete the transaction this time, remember to come to see me next time. My name is Zhao Xianyun, and I live in Qi.
Inside the cave in Guiqing Mountain on the east side of Mingfang City..."
Hearing these familiar voices, Li Xuangang, who had already used the Breath Condensation Art to suppress his cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, felt a little smile.
Ever since Fifth Uncle and the others obtained the ghost fruit tree for their family, the family has gradually become stronger.
Therefore, wearing the family's black black costume, I have not seen these scenes for many years.
Those casual cultivators who lived in Tianhefang City and Mangshanfang City had long recognized their identity as members of the Taiqiu Mountain clan through the clothes on their bodies.
Therefore, when he reaches a market within the radiation range of his family's influence, low-level deceptions like this will naturally not happen to him.
After all, the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain is not an ordinary monk family... If they are held accountable afterwards, people will really die.
...
...
Li Xuangang stayed at the entrance of Qimingfang City for a while, mainly listening to the conversations of the monks around him.
And from their conversations, we collected and compiled some relevant information about Qimingfang City and the surrounding areas, such as the geographical conditions, the surrounding cultivation forces, etc.
Of course, the information that can be gleaned from the conversations of these low-level monks is limited, and it is even more half-truth and half-false, so it cannot be fully believed.
However, this point is irrelevant to Li Xuangang. After all, he just wants to know some general conditions of Qimingfang City, or to have a preliminary understanding.
As for the information that those casual cultivators said that was deliberately misleading, he had already eliminated it.
Furthermore, what he really wanted had to wait until he entered the market and seek special channels to obtain it.
Since he had achieved his goal at the gate of Fangshi, it was useless to stay any longer, so Li Xuangang did not continue to waste time here, but took Zhengda quickly through the gate of Qimingfang City and entered it.
internal streets.
...
...
Half a day later, on one of the streets in Qimingfang City, Li Xuangang and Zheng Da sat opposite each other on the second floor of a tea shop.
Since they were located near the window, Zhengda would move his gaze downwards from time to time.
He was observing the monks coming and going on the street below, as if he wanted to see something.
Suddenly, a familiar figure broke into his sight, and a trace of surprise appeared on his originally dull face.
Feeling Jongda's emotional changes, Li Xuangang followed his gaze and looked over.
On the street below them, the Qi Refining Stage Disciple Cultivator named Zhao Xianyun they met before passed by with the leading monk of the small caravan.
Moreover, the two of them were still communicating with each other, but Zhao Xianyun was speaking most of the words, and the latter was listening.
Zhengda seemed to be very interested in this scene. His eyes slowly moved away as the two people below moved. It was not until the two people had completely left the street that he reluctantly turned his eyes to them.
Received it back.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuangang's face suddenly showed a hint of deep meaning, and his eyes began to become deep. He seemed to have thought of something.
So after Zangda withdrew his gaze, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of cheap spiritual tea, and then said to Zhengda:
"People's hearts are sinister, and monks are sometimes more terrifying than monsters."
