Chapter 236 Ambush
The northern vein has a vast terrain, and the northwest area is far less than one-tenth of it. The inner mountain is centered on the Hanging City, surrounded by countless sects and immortal cultivation families, and most of the resources are monopolized.
Of course, there are many immortal cultivation cities outside the Hanging City, but they are far less than this place.
The outer mountain is a dangerous place that has never been explored. There are hundreds of thousands of mountains and ancient battlefields. It is a place where monsters are rampant. Few cultivators come here.
There are also some masters who rely on their cultivation to break into the outer mountain to hunt monsters, take their inner elixir in exchange for spirit stones, or use monster skins and bones as raw materials. It is said that some of the monsters in the outer mountain are ancient relics left by the ancient times, and their value is far higher than ordinary monsters.
But most of these people are unlikely to come out alive.
"It is said that the Spiritual Heaven Realm is in the outer mountain. I wonder if there is a mark on this map?"
Ye Chunyang's heart moved.
However, after examining it, he was a little disappointed. There was no information about the Spiritual Heaven Realm on this map.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. He had also inquired about a lot of information about this during this period, but it seemed that the Spiritual Heaven Realm was extremely secretive, and outsiders knew very little about it, and even less news was circulated in the world. Most of it was probably in the hands of the sects.
"It seems that to enter the Spiritual Heaven Realm, it is inevitable to deal with the sects."
Ye Chunyang thought about it, put away the map, and his consciousness escaped into the jade gourd.
Hanging City is not like the northwest area. The materials here are expensive. Whether it is to enter the auspicious cloud to open a cave or collect raw materials to refine tools, the most important thing is to have enough spiritual stones, which is not a difficult task for him. At this moment, he cultivated several medicinal herbs in the jade gourd.
At present, spiritual stones are in short supply. Ye Chunyang's cultivation this time is no longer as usual to only breed for hundreds of years, but to aim for a thousand years. I believe that a spiritual medicine that reaches a thousand years can be exchanged for a large amount of funds in Hanging City. At that time, you can enter the auspicious cloud to open a cave and practice with peace of mind.
Since discovering that the spirit spoon can not only produce medicinal materials, but also catalyze crystals, Ye Chunyang has explored this treasure in depth many times. However, even with a strong spiritual consciousness, he has never sensed the mystery of this treasure, and he doesn't know what it is made of.
However, he concluded that since this treasure can produce a variety of spiritual objects, it must be extraordinary, and perhaps it has other uses. In the future, he will be able to explore the secrets when his cultivation is sufficient.
Looking at several cultivated spiritual medicines, Ye Chunyang pondered secretly.
Medicinal materials are not like crystals. After catalyzing the void crystal, he came to a conclusion that crystals can be catalyzed by spirit stones. As long as the quantity is sufficient, the time can be greatly shortened, while medicinal materials can only use water as a medium, so the progress is much slower than catalyzing crystals. It will take some time to cultivate these medicinal materials to the thousand-year component.
After thinking so, Ye Chunyang did not stay any longer, and turned to look at another place in the jade gourd space.
A white skeleton stood there grimly.
Ye Chunyang looked at the skeleton, frowned slightly, and then probed it with his spiritual sense. This beast had been silent since it merged with the ghost king, and was no longer under his control. This made Ye Chunyang secretly worried. After all, this skeleton was a mutant corpse puppet. Ye Chunyang was not sure whether the other party still had consciousness. If one day it broke the seal and left, it might bring him unpredictable crisis.
At this time, Ye Chunyang thought of the nameless body refining method again. This method can cultivate the body into a saint and have a life span beyond the same level. He was very enthusiastic about it, but the young man in white became like this because of practicing this method. Ye Chunyang did not dare to try it rashly.
However, after many studies, he found that this method had defects. If he wanted to practice it safely, he might need to collect the complete chapters. He didn't know the whereabouts of the incomplete part. If he had the opportunity to find it, this method would also be a very beneficial method.
The cultivation of immortals is mainly based on the three aspects of the primordial spirit, magic power, and physical body. No matter which one reaches the peak, you can get a life span beyond ordinary people.
Above the primordial spirit, Ye Chunyang has the Lian Shen Jue, and his spiritual consciousness far exceeds that of the same level. His mana is mainly based on the Origin Heavenly Scripture. This method can also have infinite mana by complementing the spiritual roots of the two bodies. As for the physical body, he has not yet found a suitable method, and this mysterious body refining method is just right for him.
Ye Chunyang secretly made a plan and checked again. After confirming that there was indeed nothing abnormal with the white skeleton, he left the jade gourd with confidence.
This mysterious body refining method has great benefits. If there is a chance, it must be practiced. Now that he has come to the North Pulse, perhaps he can try to find out the origin of this method and some of the incomplete contents.
However, the origin of this method is mysterious, and the effect of self-cultivation is too amazing. Once it is spread, it will surely attract countless jealous people. Therefore, even if he wants to inquire, Ye Chunyang should do it secretly and must not leak any information.
After a careful reflection, Ye Chunyang has determined his goal.
First, he needs to cultivate the spiritual medicine to maturity, and then exchange it for spiritual stones to open a cave in the auspicious cloud. As long as he has a place to settle down, he can collect the materials needed for the "spiritual upgrade technique".
In addition, he also needs to practice the "spiritual acupoint technique" more. This technique allows him to feel the vitality of heaven and earth during the foundation-building period, paving the way for the advancement of magic power, and is also the key to his magical power.
For example, the Yin Ghost Array and the Three Thousand Sword Yuan must be supported by the vitality of heaven and earth.
Although the Three Thousand Sword Yuan has not yet been refined, Ye Chunyang can also use the entry method of the Yin Ghost Array with the spiritual acupoint technique, and this magical power is enough to be proud of the same level.
Combined with various factors, although Ye Chunyang's magical power is not yet complete, he can escape safely even if he is defeated by a master in the early stage of magic power.
Next, he plans to rest in this inn for a while, or go out of the city to inquire about the news from all sides.
While he was waiting for the medicinal materials to mature, in a cave in Xiangyun below the Hanging City, the Yinsha old man, the dark-skinned middle-aged and other Mu family priests were plotting and discussing something.
"Has there been any news about that kid in the past few days?" The old man with silver gauze stared at the dark middle-aged man and asked in a deep voice.
The swarthy middle-aged man pondered for a while and said: "The spies sent out have all returned. This person has stayed in the inn since he came to Hanging City. He rarely goes out except for some shops in the city."
"Has he never left the city?" The old man Yinsha frowned.
The swarthy middle-aged man shook his head.
After a while, he replied: "According to the information obtained, this person is indeed a casual cultivator in the northwest area. He has no foundation in the North Meridian. Therefore, he has never interacted with anyone since he came to Hanging City."
"Hmph! A mere casual cultivator dares to be arrogant and arrogant. Now that he has come to Beimai, let him stay here forever!" The old man in silver gauze laughed sinisterly, and then said to the swarthy middle-aged man: "Keep an eye on me. Kill him and report immediately if there is any change. I don’t believe he can stay in the Hanging City for the rest of his life.”
A sinister look flashed on the dark middle-aged man's face, he nodded and walked out of the cave.
Looking at the city from a distance, the old man Yinsha sneered. When he was crossing the mountain city, Ye Chunyang caused him great loss of face. With his character of retribution, he would not let it go. Therefore, after being teleported, people secretly paid attention to Ye Chunyang's movements. When the right time comes, he must seek revenge from Ye Chunyang.
However, Ye Chunyang has been waiting in the city since he arrived. No one in the Xiuxian City can move rashly. The old man Yinsha also felt troubled for a moment, but he did not believe that Ye Chunyang would stay in the city all the time. He would be the one to do it as soon as this person left the city. The end of the world.
With a sneer, the old man Yinsha waited for the news in his house.
After more than ten days like this, a streak of yellow light flew into the cave. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a transmission talisman. The old man with silver gauze waved his hand, and the talisman fell into his hand. After casting the spell and listening for a moment, something flashed across his face. Weirdly, he immediately stretched out his body, escaped from the cave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Thirty miles outside Xuankong City.
Ye Chunyang's imperial weapon was flying at low altitude, holding a white demon elixir in his hand, which was the inner elixir of an upper-level viper.
Although he has been collecting information on the North Meridian in Hanging City in recent days, Ye Chunyang cannot wait for the elixir to mature, so he occasionally goes out of the city to hunt monsters and use their inner elixirs to replace spiritual stones.
Although the inner elixir of this viper is not as good as the second-level monster, it is still valuable, and its cold properties are the best raw materials for neutralizing elixirs, which are coveted by many alchemists.
In fact, Ye Chunyang also had the inner elixir of the beautiful girl's second-level monster, which he obtained from killing two water elemental beasts in the northwest area. However, such high-level raw materials were of great use to him and could never be sold.
Fortunately, the elixir in the jade gourd grows very fast. Now it has been six to seven hundred years old in just half a month. At this rate, with more cultivation, it will be able to achieve a thousand-year effect in less than ten days. There is no need to face such a poverty-stricken situation.
The sky gradually became dark.
Faintly, dark clouds seemed to be gathering in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come.
Although immortal cultivators are not afraid of natural thunderstorms, Ye Chunyang did not want to get soaked, so he stopped being slow and flew quickly to the Hanging City.
But at this time, the situation seemed to have changed. Thick white fog filled the front unknowingly. It was obviously at dusk, but it was such a strange scene that it was even difficult to tell the direction.
Little bits of drizzle fell, and the white fog became thicker. Ye Chunyang was surprised to find that the surrounding area turned completely white, and he could not even see ten steps away.
Such a spectacle is quite strange.
However, Ye Chunyang's expression remained unchanged, and he sneered after looking into it with his spiritual consciousness, and the imperial weapon fell downwards.
At the same time, there was the sound of wind and thunder in the sky, and several rays of light and shadow tore through the white mist, arriving with a crash. A closer look revealed that it was the old man in silver gauze, the dark-skinned middle-aged man, and several other members of the Mu family.
"Fellow Taoists, are you here to help me?" Ye Chunyang stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
His spiritual perception was so powerful that he had already detected the auras of several people just now. It was obvious that the white mist was a magic circle set up by several people, intending to trap him here.
"The boy's senses are quite keen, but we have set up a phantom formation here, and no one outside can detect it. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't escape from our grasp today."
The old man Yinsha laughed sinisterly and looked at Ye Chunyang, with deep hatred on his face: "You were so arrogant during the banquet that day. Today I want to see if you can still be arrogant?"
The worshipers behind him also laughed jokingly, looking at Ye Chunyang like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Ye Chunyang glanced at a few people slightly, and then looked around again. He didn't show any panic. Instead, he smiled strangely after a moment of silence.
"Just now you said that a magic circle has been set up here so that no one else can notice it. If that's the case, if all of you die here, will someone collect the bodies?"
