Zhao Feng and the others did not expect that such a desolate place would be guarded by a large number of people.
"Hall Master Zuo, this place should have no value anymore. Why is there still someone guarding it?"
Zuo Mengdao pointed at the original mountain range and said: "The large-scale mining of mineral veins in this mountain range has been exhausted, and there are still many smaller mineral veins. Moreover, this mountain range has a large number of hot springs.
The climate is suitable all year round and is suitable for the growth of many elixirs, so this place is also the Wuji Taoist Sect elixir garden."
"Wuji Dao Sect attaches great importance to this place. After outsiders enter, we can only collect herbs on the outside of the mountain range and cannot go deep into the hinterland!"
Zhao Feng and the other two walked all the way and realized that the mountain range was extraordinary. On the only road into the mountain, there were thousands of people of all kinds waiting in line to enter.
"Uncle Zuo, there are so many people queuing up here, when can we wait until we can go in?" Gan Xiaoxiao was very worried when he saw so many people waiting on the road.
"Miss Gan, don't worry, all our major forces can enter first!"
Zuo Mengdao led four people through a special passage and arrived at the only checkpoint on the road.
"Excuse me, is Brother Zong here?" Zuo Mengdao asked a guard with a pleasant look.
This guard was wearing a black warrior uniform and had a number plate on his chest. Only when he got closer did Zhao Feng see clearly that there was a Bagua mark on the clothing of these guards.
"The elders are drinking tea upstairs!" The guard pointed to the bamboo building not far away, and Zuo Mengdao nodded.
"Brother Zhao, please wait here for now. I'll be back as soon as I go!"
Zhao Feng and the others nodded and waited quietly. Zuo Mengdao, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked upstairs along the bamboo ladder like an ordinary herb collector.
An old man was sitting by the window, slowly sipping tea, quite leisurely. In other places, there were some people sitting there in twos and threes, chatting. Most of these people looked like they were businessmen.
"Brother, you feel at ease today!" Zuo Mengdao cupped his hands.
The low-level steward elder of the Wuji Dao Sect raised his head when he heard someone talking next to him.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Zuo. Does Mr. Zuo want to go into the mountains to collect medicine again?"
"Exactly, Zuo has taken on a lot of big business recently, and the drug store happens to be short of a few herbs. In order to make more money, I had to bring a few apprentices to pick the herbs myself."
The way Zuo Mengdao spoke was completely like a philistine businessman, not like a martial arts and medical master at all.
"What I'm saying is that usually when you come, you can go in by yourself. It turns out that I'm looking for Zong today to bring someone in. I've got this sign!"
The sect elder handed Zuo Mengdao a three-inch sign carved from green bamboo. Zuo Mengdao took it and quietly handed it to the sect elder a middle-grade soul stone without making a sound or attracting attention.
"I hope Mr. Zuo will gain a lot this time," Elder Zong said, lowering his voice: "Sir, you can go north this time. I heard recently that that generation has discovered some good things!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Zuo Mengdao went downstairs and secretly marveled on the way. The things the elders told him coincided with where Zhao Feng was going. This showed that the information Zhao Feng had obtained was quite valuable.
The guard checked the credentials and let Zuo Mengdao and the five people into the checkpoint. After entering, Zhao Feng and the four people realized that everything they saw outside was fake.
Zuo Mengdao saw the doubts of the four people and explained as they walked: "Although Wuji Dao Sect is a major martial arts sect, what they are really good at is the way of formations. This mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles is covered by Wuji Dao Sect.
Zong was covered by the Vajra Arhat Formation, and his true face was completely concealed by the formation."
Zhao Feng suddenly realized it and secretly admired the Wuji Dao Sect's methods. How could he know that the Wuji Dao Sect's birthplace was where hundreds of millions of stars were obscured by formations.
Zhao Feng and the other two were walking on a road that was more than three feet long. There was an endless stream of people heading towards the mountains from this road. It looked like they were all miners and farmers.
"Look at the medicine gardens in front of you. They are places rented by some sects from the Wuji Dao Sect, and are specially used to cultivate elixirs. The place halfway up the mountain, filled with clouds and mist, is the place of the Wuji Dao Sect."
Zhao Feng and the others looked up and saw that the road under their feet led to a high mountain that was mostly covered by clouds and mist. At the foot of the mountain, there were medicinal gardens growing elixirs everywhere.
Farmers and miners who come here do not need to go near those medicinal gardens. The Wuji Taoist Sect has a teleportation array beside the road to send a large number of workers into the mountains.
Zuo Mengdao led Zhao Feng and four others, who still did not queue up this time, and came to a special teleportation array.
This teleportation array was built in a huge bamboo house. The guard checked Zuo Mengdao's martial arts palace token and waved his hand: "Teleportation array No. 9 is ready!"
Zhao Feng and the other five walked into a teleportation array. As the teleportation array began to emit silver light, they arrived at a huge stone house in a valley.
"We have arrived at the northernmost part of the mountain range. This place is sparsely populated. Most of the people who come here are adventurous warriors from outside. Private vendettas and robberies are very popular. People who come here usually come in groups."
After listening to Zuo Mengdao's introduction, Zhao Feng looked around and chatted about several warriors sitting on the ground or gathering together to chat around the teleportation array. They were in distinct groups. The biggest feature of these people was that their swords were unsheathed.
, it seems that they will get into a fight if they disagree with each other at any time.
Zuo Mengdao has already informed Fairy Zihua of the whereabouts of Zhao Feng and Gan Xiaoxiao, and Fairy Zihua will definitely make arrangements.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Feng and others left the teleportation array, seven or eight strong men wearing various costumes gathered around them.
"Everyone, I, Mr. Xu, have concluded this business. Please leave. When I come back, Mr. Xu will treat you all to a drink!"
"Brother Xu, you told me earlier. We thought you didn't like this small business. If we had known you wanted to take it, we wouldn't have shown up."
As a man dressed in fine clothes and exposing his bronze chest spoke, the other six or seven people retreated with laughter.
"This old man, you are here to collect medicine. I see that you are very friendly. You must be here for the first time. To be honest, this ghost gate area is not safe. There are all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts, and there are also vicious criminals who are blocking the road.
few."
"I, Mr. Xu, will lead the team to protect you and ensure that everything is safe. How about it? Do you want to take care of Mr. Xu?"
Facing the big man surnamed Xu who greeted him with a smile, Zhao Feng had a good feeling in his heart: "Xiaoxiao, this man has a majestic appearance and extraordinary momentum, and his real ability is still better than ours. How will Uncle Zuo arrange it?"
"Yeah!" Gan Xiaoxiao simply responded.
Seeing this, Zuo Mengdao knew very well that in order not to look special, it was necessary to hire bodyguards, so he asked seriously: "I don't know, Brother Xu, how do you charge?"
"There are twelve of us brothers, each of us will receive two soul stones every day, plus 20% of what you will gain from this trip!"
