After returning to Tuoshitang's station and having a good night's rest, Lorraine Hill asked the helmsman about Qingluyuan early the next morning.
"Qingluyuan is a famous sect in the south. It is famous for its medical skills and herbal medicine. The sect specializes in the Baihua lineage. It is located in the mountains and forests between Muqingzhou and Weipingzhou. Most of the famous doctors and elixirs in Nanfangzhou County come from
This sect.”
"How does Qingluyuan rank among the factions in the twenty-two southern continents?" Lorraine Hill suddenly wanted to understand the overall situation.
"This is difficult to define." The helmsman of Tuoshi Hall shook his head slightly, and then continued.
"The most unfathomable thing in the twenty-two southern continents is naturally the two direct descendants of Bai Feng Honghu, namely the 'Bailu Qixuanwu' and the 'Mingyue Xinxin Palace', both of which are here."
"The witches' ceremonies in most counties in the south come from the 'Bailu Qixuanwu', but this is usually an official matter. The common people have no access to these big figures, so they are not sensitive and few people care about it."
"Mingyuexin Palace is located on a small island overseas. It is isolated from the world and few people know about it. We have only heard that every three years, 'Bailu Qixuanwu' and 'Mingyuexin Palace' will have a big competition between two factions.
Compare and test each other."
"However, these two sects are relatively low-key, and their popularity among the people is far less than ours. Apart from the two high-ranking sects, there are our big sects that span several continents, such as 'Tuoshitang', 'Qingluyuan' and 'Wugou'
Gate ''Jinzhufang'' and so on."
"Further down, there are some factions within each state. For example, there is a 'Fire Qiu Sect' in Qingjizhou. There are many fire warlocks in the sect, hundreds of masters of the fourth level and above, and seven or eight of the fifth level. Maybe there are some within the sect.
There is also a sixth-level existence that has not yet emerged."
"In the world of martial arts, masters of level 5 and above are usually specially divided, because reaching level 5 will be a huge improvement. You can travel in mountains and waves, and you can go anywhere. You can walk around the world at will without fear of monsters, beasts, and dangerous places.
Flat ground.”
"So in order to show this difference, some people call the fifth-level realm 'Talking on the Waves'."
"When you go up to the sixth level, you will basically gain a certain ability to fly. At this time, even if you are defeated by your opponent, you can still escape with your life. Most people are afraid of the revenge of such an expert. Even officials will give them considerable respect. Some people will
The sixth level realm is called 'Cheng Mist'."
"Then go further up." Lorraine Hill blinked and suddenly felt that such a title was quite interesting.
"Further up, the seventh step is what the West calls the coral step, and it is called 'chuangkong', which means to break through the sky and split the clouds, like lightning or dew."
"The eighth level of crystal steps is called 'Denglin', which means climbing to the top and overlooking the world. It is like Mount Tai and Beidou."
"At the ninth level, at the end of the ladder to heaven, you become an immortal. This is a living immortal. Mortals should not discuss it randomly. They are all called 'Flying Immortals'." (There is no need to remember these names deliberately 0 0/)
"When Tuoshi Hall was established, it was just a small sect. The methods within the sect have gradually accumulated and improved over the generations to become as exquisite as they are today. The most accomplished member of the sect came from a hundred years ago, the Rev.
Achieving the state of 'ascension' and re-improving the internal martial arts of the sect resulted in today's situation."
"Isn't there any senior who has achieved the status of 'Flying Immortal'?" The girl was a little surprised. In her opinion, Tuoshi Hall is quite a big faction, and there shouldn't be even one for hundreds of years.
"No, although it has been passed down for hundreds of years, it really took off because of the guidance of the Supreme Being a hundred years ago. It didn't last long."
"In fact, most of the factions in the world are like this. Only those factions that have produced "Flying Immortals" can become the "Flying Immortals". For the same reason, except for the "Flying Immortals" in other factions, there are basically no "Flying Immortals" in them.
Exists, now and in the past.”
"That's it." Lorraine Hill thought slowly.
It seems that the situation is similar in the Western Continent. Most of the famous factions there were created by heroes or saints in the past and have a long history. It seems that in this era where information has not yet been networked, the inheritance of knowledge is still extremely valuable.
, without the accumulation of previous experience, it is too difficult to explore step by step on your own.
No wonder Wufeng has such a high reputation here in the Eastern Continent. The five of them can be said to have created a complete advanced system from scratch, which has been passed down for thousands of years.
After understanding this, Lorraine Hill remembered another little thing he heard yesterday.
"What kind of existence is the Needle Seed in Qingluyuan?"
"The Qingluyuan Association calls the fifth-level practitioners in the sect the 'needle guide', 'burning mugwort messenger' and 'guyu picker'. Each of the three focuses on combat, healing, and one type of herbal medicine."
"In the past, when it was at its peak, the 'Three Envoys' of Qingluyuan wore green shirts and traveled across various continents and counties. They were very famous."
"Even now, after the world has changed, the messengers of Qingluyuan can still not be underestimated. Most of them can easily defeat the masters of the same level. If you are good at using swords and needles, it will be easy to defeat one against three."
"There is a huge difference between people of the same rank."
Lorraine Hill sighed, there is a huge gap between ordinary extraordinary people and disciples of large sects, disciples of large sects and true disciples. Even if they are at the same level, they cannot simply draw equal signs.
After understanding this, Lorraine Hill continued to stay in Qingqizhou for a few days until news came.
In the afternoon of this day, Lorraine Hill was sitting in a warehouse courtyard of Tuoshi Hall wearing a veil, inspecting the various moldy herbs and old objects piled up in the boxes.
As a large group that helps transport goods, escorts, and inquire about information, over time, we will encounter some uncompleted tasks, such as no one comes to pick up the goods after they arrive, the client dies midway, and there are accidents left behind.
Shitang's goods, etc.
If things have been stored for a long time, they naturally need to be cleaned up, but there are some things that even the members of Tuoshi Hall are not sure about, so they have been kept here and slowly accumulated.
"Let me take a look, this should be Fengzhicao. Well, the medicinal effect seems to be pretty good." Lorraine Hill plucked the dried herbs in his hands, feeling the magic and extraordinary qualities contained in them. He opened the small box.
Pick out the parts that have not become moldy and put them in a clean small box on the other side. Then write down the name and quantity of the things with a pen, and stick the page on the box.
"That's great. I can probably sell dozens of silver rings?" She stood up and looked at the large and small boxes piled up in the spacious warehouse, as if she was looking for treasures. It felt quite interesting.
"Miss Jialan, is Miss Jialan here?" A voice calling came from the front hall.
"I'm here, wait a moment."
Lorraine Hill raised his feet and walked out of the pile of debris, then gently took off his clothes to let a little dust shake off, and then walked to the front hall.
Turning around the vermilion corridor under the eaves, before arriving, Lorraine Hill heard voices speaking in the front hall.
"Phew, I'm so thirsty." The sound of water gurgling.
"How was your visit this time?"
"It was so chaotic that I almost got blocked on the road."
"What's wrong? Aren't you going back and forth by boat? Are you afraid of being blocked?"
"No, people from the Panlong Society have pulled up iron ropes on the river, and passing ships have to check their cargo and passengers one by one. As a person who practices the Raging Lion Method, it's too easy for me to reveal my secrets."
"What happened next?"
"Of course I hid in the bottom of the boat. After all, this is also the skill of eating."
"Haha, I think so, but if Panlong would do this, wouldn't the local government care?"
"No matter what, they just borrowed the name of the government and said that there have been a lot of water bandits recently. For the sake of local peace, passing ships need to be strictly inspected, and then they asked people from the Panlong Society to pull up iron ropes on the river."
"Here, are the local officials so bold? It's nominally allowed, but isn't this more taboo in the officialdom?"
"Who knows, maybe there is a fight in the government now. Our Tuoshi Hall subsidizes Fu Xing Academy every year, just to allow the students to take care of the sect after they are admitted to the imperial examination. I heard that there is also an undercurrent in the government now.
Flow, all kinds of changes.”
Before he could finish listening to the conversation between these people in the front hall, Lorraine Hill had already walked into the room.
"Hello, Miss Jialan."
Everyone fell silent, and Yang Xuemo, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said, "Xiaojiu, please tell Miss Jialan the information you obtained."
"Yes, Brother Yang." Then this member of Tuoshi Hall, who was in his early 20s, talked about this experience of seeking information.
"After I received the mission that day, I left for Fuyun Lake that night, and then asked about the local branch leader named Yu some time ago."
"The branch leader is not in the local area now. It is said that he has moved to a southern county to recuperate. Then he asked the gentlemen of the local branch. They said that they have heard of not many famous people from the same family with the surname Yu in the past few years.
Excluding those who are too young or too old, there are only two people who fit Miss Jialan's description."
"Which two are they?"
"One is the hall master who was injured before, and the other is the general in the main hall." The records are the same as those found before, the girl thought to herself.
"The distance to the main hall is relatively long, and the news will be slower to come back. I'm afraid Miss Jialan will have to wait for a few more days." Yang Xuemo on the side gave some comfort.
"Yeah, I know." Lorraine Hill nodded, then looked at the returning member.
"The branch master you mentioned earlier is recovering from his injuries. In which continent is he specifically located? Can you take me to see him?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but it's either Zheluo Continent or Taowu Continent. These two continents are relatively peaceful and not far from Fuyun Lake."
"Then go ahead." Lorraine Hill said that these were not problems.
"It seems that Miss Jialan has made up her mind. I will arrange for six experts to accompany you. This way, the road will be safer. What do you think?"
"Thank you." The girl nodded.
"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow. Miss Jia Lan has a good rest tonight." Yang Xuemo stood up and started looking for the roster of the faction to see who was stationed today.
After sleeping one night, three awning boats left the dock early the next morning and moved quickly along the river, like herrings shuttled back and forth, agile and fast.
Sitting in the arched awning in the middle of the boat, Lorraine Hill looked at the fast-flowing river outside and felt that Tuoshitang was worthy of being a canoe gang that made a living on the river. His skills in rowing and driving boats were indeed worthy.
Following Jiangshui to the east, the group walked out of Qingji Gang in half a day, passed through a county again the next day, and after resting for a while, arrived at Taowu Island on the third day.
There are patches of peach trees on the hillsides on both sides of the bank. Unfortunately, it is not spring, so we can’t see the peach blossoms falling all over the river.
After landing ashore, the group directly asked the local Tuoshitang branch helm.
"Who are you?" When they heard that they were here to inquire about traces, the local Tuoshi Hall members also became alert.
"We are members of the Qingqizhou Branch." As he spoke, a member took out his credentials and said a unique code.
After some inspection and confirmation, the member of the branch went to invite the local person in charge.
A big man with stubble walked into the courtyard carrying a wine pot. He smelled of alcohol and seemed a little drunk.
"Brother Ni, these guys want to see the senior who is recuperating from his injuries. Look." The member who just returned to Lorran Hill and their conversation ran over to ask as if he saw a savior.
"Who? Which senior, why don't I know?"
"It's the senior who came here for medical treatment last month."
"Idiot, if I say I don't know, I just don't know." His upper face turned into an angry look, and he knocked the young fellow to the ground.
"Hey, where are you from? You keep saying that you are from the same school. I think you are suspicious." The drunkard sat down on a chair in the hall, put his feet on the table next to him, and soon looked intoxicated again.
When I got up, it seemed that the stamina of the wine was coming back.
"This eldest brother from the same sect, we really have something important to do to find the senior with the last name."
…
This guy was snoring, but he didn't seem to hear him.
As a last resort, a member of the Tuoshi Hall who was traveling with Lorraine Hill repeated it again.
"This eldest brother from the same sect, we have something important to do to find the senior with the last name."
"Noisy..." He turned sideways as he spoke.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Lorraine Hill shook his head and asked the companion in front to step aside first, and then sat in the hall and waited slowly until the other party woke up.
In this way, the sun turned from noon to sunset, and then from sunset to nightfall. At this time, the branch of Tuoshi Hall was about to close its doors, and this man woke up leisurely.
He looked at the people still in the hall, then moved his body and stood up.
"It's still here. Hey, you know nothing about people, and you actually said you were looking for someone. It's really ridiculous."
"Then big brother, how can you trust us?" Lorraine Hill stood up, and the pair of bright eyes on the veil looked directly at the sober man.
"How, how, that's all. I don't believe you at first. Since you have been so sincere and waited here for a day, I would be wrong if I didn't give you an explanation."
"Come, bring me my weapons and meet this young lady." He shouted loudly, and then the door outside the courtyard quickly opened, and the members of the local branch took out the extremely heavy seven-ring machete with excitement and respect.
.
This knife had a thick blade with seven golden rings on its back. He held it in the hand of this big man and with a simple wave, it made a heavy whine that broke through the air, and then the golden rings collided with each other, making a crisp and trembling sound.
"Is this going to be a fight?" A member next to Lorraine Hill asked in confusion.
"It seems like this fellow helmsman is really difficult to get along with."
"He seems to have the strength of the fifth-level 'Breaking Waves', and he has a strong momentum. I'm afraid it will be difficult for ordinary people to defeat him." Especially the heavy golden sword, which has a terrifying momentum.
"Let's go together, otherwise we won't be able to defeat this man."
"No, I'll do it." Lorraine Hill shook his head slightly and walked out of the crowd.
"Miss Jialan, how could I let you..." The member on the side wanted to say something else, but what happened in front of him made him shut up.
Lorraine Hill walked into the courtyard, her hands spread out, her eyes slightly closed, a golden-red scale appeared on her forehead, a silent wave of air overflowed, lifting her hair and dress, and then she opened her eyes.
, the dull golden-red brilliance overflowed, and then she raised her hand, and a long sword not far away flew up from the shelf and landed in her hand.
"Okay, okay! It seems that my old lady has made a mistake. This young lady is indeed extraordinary. Look at the knife!" He laughed a few times, then his arms bulged, his muscles burst out, and he jumped up like a giant.
The python crosses the river and rides down the waves.
