Chapter 379 Invitation
Ye Chunyang was a little surprised when he heard the old man introduce himself. He had never heard of the "Shaohua Sect".
However, this time the Spiritual Heaven Realm was opened, the immortal cultivating sects from the northern and southern tributaries of Tian Chong Mountain all came after hearing the news. I guess Shaohua Sect is in the southern tributary.
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Just now, fellow Daoist Ju said that you can cross the sea of fog. I wonder what the method is?"
Ye Chunyang did not delve into the origins and background of the old man surnamed Ju, but only cared about ways to cross the sea of fog and reach the inner layer.
But he never expected that the other person's next words would make him furious.
Ju Ruhai stroked his long beard and said with a leisurely expression: "I am dissatisfied with what fellow Taoist said, I cannot cross the sea of fog."
Hearing these words, Ye Chunyang's heart sank and he said, "So, fellow Taoist, are you just having fun?"
He had an angry look on his face. Could it be that this old man thought he was someone who could be fooled at will?
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please calm down and let me finish what I have to say." Ju Ruhai looked solemn and said, "I'm not playing tricks on you, but the sea of fog leading to the inner layer is really dangerous and unpredictable. People who have entered the spiritual world have broken into it. Very few people can come out of this layer alive, and outsiders also know that it is ominous. However, although I don’t know how to cross the fog sea, my ancestors have left some clues. "
"What clue?" Ye Chunyang suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly.
Ju Ruhai waved his hand and cast a soundproof magic shield, and after a moment he said: "Three hundred years ago, an ancestor of our sect came to the spiritual world. At that time, this person's cultivation level had reached the late stage of magical power. He relied on his strength to go through the fog alone. The sea entered the inner layer, but unfortunately it ended in failure.”
"However, this senior is also a man of great perseverance. After realizing that he could not achieve anything with brute force, he searched for relevant information in the outer layer, and finally he found out how to cross the sea of fog."
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did this person successfully pass through the sea of fog?"
Ju Ruhai shook his head: "Not really."
After a pause, he continued: "The news that the senior learned at that time was that there is a spiritual beast called "Pixiu" in the spiritual world. It is said that this beast has a spiritual eye that can see through all evil spirits. If it can capture , it can be carried through the sea of mist, and this beast is in a ruins in the outer layer. After hearing this, the senior went to look for it, but he did not expect that it had taken him decades to inquire about the information in the outer layer. , by the time he was ready to go, the time limit for the opening of the Spiritual Heaven Realm had arrived. In desperation, he had to leave the Spiritual Heaven Realm. From then on, he also exhausted his lifespan and sat down to dissolve the weapons. "
After hearing this, Ye Chunyang frowned: "So, your senior from the Shaohua Sect has never been to the ruins in person, nor has he seen the spiritual beast that can travel through the sea of fog?"
"Yes." The old man sighed and said: "However, before the senior passed away, he left exact information about the site for my descendants, and introduced the restrictions within it in detail. Come in this time, let me follow. I just want to go there to look for the spiritual beast. If I can find it, I can easily pass through the sea of fog and enter the inner layer."
"Fellow Daoist Ju knew this information, but he didn't go find it himself. Instead, he called the next one. I'm afraid that ruins are not a good place to go!" Ye Chunyang said lightly.
There is no free lunch in the world, but Ju Ruhai was willing to tell such important information, which shows that the ruins he mentioned are not simple, and the spiritual beast Pixiu is not easy to capture.
After being told by Ye Chunyang, Ju Ruhai was neither angry nor impatient, and his expression was as usual.
"Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed a smart man. In this case, I might as well say it. According to the information left by the senior I sent, there seem to be three major levels in the ruins. Each of them is dangerous and unpredictable, and it is not something that ordinary people can pass alone. , so although I know the location of the ruins, I still need the help of a few colleagues with similar cultivation levels. If we can catch that Pixiu, we can cross the sea of fog together, why not? "
Ju Ruhai smiled kindly and said, "Furthermore, the senior from our sect once said that there are many treasures in the ruins. Even if we cannot catch Pixiu, the treasures inside are still worth exploring. Fellow Daoist Ye may wish to consider it."
Ye Chunyang became silent.
With his usual caution, he would not believe Ju Ruhai's words. However, he had vaguely heard about the sea of fog that led to the inner layer. This sea of fog could not help but be huge in scope, and there were many powerful ghosts and ferocious beasts in it, and When walking through the fog, one's spiritual consciousness cannot sense it, and entering hastily will lead to a narrow escape.
If that spiritual beast Pixiu really had the magical ability to seek good luck and avoid evil, and to identify directions in the sea of fog, it would be much easier to travel through it.
He thought about it in his mind, and finally made a plan after a while.
However, he did not rush to agree to the other party, but changed the topic and asked: "Before I agree to assist, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ju can tell me the location of the ruins?"
Ju Ruhai did not shy away and said bluntly: "It's a coincidence that the ruins are in the southwest boundary. I originally thought that if I teleported to another place, it would take some time to find them, but I didn't expect that I would end up here as soon as I entered. , depending on where we are now, we can fly there in at least three days.”
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but after saying these words, Ju Ruhai continued without waiting for Ye Chunyang to speak: "However, although the ruins are nearby, others cannot find them without my guidance, and there are many more around the ruins. It will be extremely dangerous for the ancient giant monster to trespass rashly.”
Ye Chunyang looked at it for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, since Taoist friend Ju kindly invites you, Ye will go with you. I hope that there is a Pixiu in that ruins as Taoist friend said."
Regardless of whether Ju Ruhai's words were true or not, the Pixiu's ability to have a spiritual eye was worth a try. Although the site was also a dangerous place, it was better than groping around in the sea of fog.
Ju Ruhai was delighted and said, "It would be great if you could join the exploration. In addition to you, I have also invited another fellow Taoist who will arrive here tomorrow. We will set off together then. What do you think?"
"No problem."
Ye Chunyang raised his hand indifferently.
"Then it's settled." Ju Ruhai was full of joy: "I will make some preparations. When the other fellow Taoist arrives, we will meet outside the city tomorrow."
Ye Chunyang nodded and responded, indicating that he had no objection to this.
Seeing this, Ju Ruhai's face became even more smiling. Then he discussed some details of the trip with Ye Chunyang and said goodbye and left the inn.
Ye Chunyang looked back at the other party, a dark light flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to calm.
Although he didn't fully trust Ju Ruhai, he was not afraid of him with his current cultivation level, so he didn't need to worry about any accidents on this trip. Instead, the so-called three checkpoints in the ruins made him feel solemn, and he had to be cautious no matter what.
However, he had prepared many means before entering the realm. Not only did he successfully cultivate most of the magical powers in the Guiyi Dao Sutra, but he also refined several ancient treasures obtained in the desert. His strength was much better than when he just advanced. If there were no other dangers on this trip, he would be able to deal with it easily.
After thinking for a while, he immediately got up and walked out of the inn.
Since Ju Ruhai still needed to wait for one more person, he was not in a hurry to leave the city, so he simply continued to stroll around here to see if he could gain something.
After walking in the city for a while, Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, looked down at the spirit beast bag, and found that Ling Kun had some unusual movements coming from it.
He looked suspicious, raised his head and looked around, and finally seemed to feel something and walked towards a shop in front.
The safe city had long been abandoned, and these shops were temporarily built by the monks for the purpose of communication and exchange. There was no one to manage them, so the order was quite chaotic.
As he approached, Ye Chunyang heard a series of noisy noises. A dozen monks surrounded a young man and talked about something, while the young man was holding a piece of animal bone and boasting about it excitedly.
"Don't underestimate this animal bone. I spent a lot of effort to find it from a monster burial site."
"You all know about the monster burial site, right? Needless to say, it is very dangerous. I managed to get out safely with some tricks, and brought back this animal bone."
"You can take a closer look. This bone has a strong thunder attribute fluctuation. It must have been left by a powerful thunder monster in ancient times. Ancient monsters are full of treasures. Maybe you can refine a magical weapon with this bone."
"Don't miss it if you pass by. If you like it, you can take 300 high-quality spirit stones. If you don't have spirit stones, a bottle of high-quality recovery pills will also be fine."
"..."
The young man chattered about the animal bone in his hand, and every word aroused the emotions of everyone. His eloquence was excellent.
Ye Chunyang walked in and took a look. This animal bone was about two feet long, glowing with fluorescence. There were faint sounds of wind and thunder, and even arcs of electricity. It was undoubtedly a thunder-attributed animal bone.
And judging from the fluctuations transmitted by this bone, this ancient thunder monster was at least a second-level intermediate level when he was alive.
Ye Chunyang's heart moved, and he finally understood why Ling Kun was so abnormal. He thought it was because he was greedy.
However, this young man dared to be so ostentatious with his late foundation-building cultivation, and he was not afraid of others' bad intentions. It seemed that he had some means of self-protection.
While he was thinking secretly, the crowd was already excited. People kept coming forward to contact the young man, but it seemed that the price offered made the young man not very satisfied, and he shook his head and declined.
An old man of the same level as the young man stepped out and said to the young man leisurely: "I have a bottle of Qi-recovering pills. How about you exchange this animal bone for me?"
The young man's mind moved.
Qi-recovering pills were exactly what he needed at the moment. After looking at the old man and thinking for a while, he nodded.
The old man was delighted and took out a bottle of elixir to exchange with the young man.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait a minute, I also need this animal bone, please give it up."
The old man was furious when he heard this.
He turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and was about to curse, but when he saw the person coming, his expression suddenly froze, and then he smiled and said: "It turns out to be a senior in the magic power period. How dare I compete with you for a mere animal bone? If you need it, just exchange it."
Everyone looked at each other, and at the same time, a young man in black clothes walked in with the crowd.
