……
Starting from Qingluowei in Longzuo County of Daqian, passing through Bufrog Port, and crossing thousands of miles along the Bufrozen Ocean in the southern part of the Arctic Wasteland, you can reach the Extreme North County in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Compared with other routes, this route is the safest one to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although it has to cross the Arctic wilderness and you may encounter a lot of ice floes along the way, it avoids crossing the ocean directly. Various unpredictable risks arise, such as hurricanes, sea monsters, whirlpools, sea fog and other disasters. . .
Although the Arctic wilderness is desolate and desolate, there are still scattered habitats of humans and barbarians that can provide supplies and economic refuge.
The [Muzhen Continent] where the Northern Zhou Dynasty is located is different from the [Bianhuang Continent] where Dongqian is located. It has a long and narrow terrain. The widest point from east to west is only more than 13,000 miles, and the longest distance from north to south is nearly 100,000 miles. The area is extremely vast, approximately equivalent to more than 30% of the area of Hanyue’s main continent.
On the Muzhen Continent, there are four human nations, belonging to the two camps of immortals and demons, with a total of more than 40 counties developed.
Compared with the countries such as Dongqian, Western Jin, and Southern Qin on the border continent, because the human race has only opened up wasteland for less than 10,000 years, each has room for development and has fewer conflicts.
The earliest records of land reclamation in Muzhen Continent can be traced back to more than 20,000 years ago, and the land suitable for human habitat and reproduction has long been occupied. Therefore, there are many conflicts and disputes between the four countries, and wars are also relatively frequent.
Not to mention that the countries belonging to the Immortal and Demonic camps are in conflict with each other, even between the two countries Dazhou and Daxia, which belong to the Immortal Dynasty camp, there are many conflicts both openly and privately, and internal frictions and disputes often occur. .
The Northern Zhou Kingdom had a total of 13 “counties”, and its national power was relatively powerful among the four kingdoms.
There was a county in the south of the Northern Zhou Dynasty called [Nanwan County].
Nanwan County is located in a bay and is famous for its many bays and islands with high mountains and cliffs. Due to many reasons such as poor products, hot climate, frequent hurricanes and tsunamis, the population is sparse and development is slow.
As a county, the total population of Dagan Longzuo County is now close to over 100 million, but the total population of Nanwan County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is less than 15 million.
Deep in the bay of Nanwan County, there is a dangerous area with towering cliffs like a forest, numerous reefs under the sea, and a dangerous area where fog and ghosts roar every year, called the “Ghost Sea of Reefs”.
The Reef Ghost Sea is quite rich in natural resources, and there are many low-level marine resources. However, it is too dangerous and inaccessible. Only some desperate monastic groups come to have a try, either to make a fortune or to risk their lives. catch up.
At this moment.
A seemingly old wooden fishing boat is carefully maneuvering in the ghost sea of reefs.
The character “李” is written with colored paint on the side of this fishing boat. Its owner is the Li family, an eighth-rank family living on a nearby island.
In order to make a living, this family named “Hudao Li Family” has been active on the edge of the ghost sea of reefs for a long time, making a living by catching spiritual fish, collecting coral shellfish, and even raising abalone on the reefs.
Although the work is dangerous, with the maps passed down by the family from generation to generation and the experience accumulated by the ancestors as a reference, the income is barely enough to survive, which is enough for this small eighth-grade family to continue with difficulty. As for attacking the seventh-grade celestial family, I don’t dare to hope.
“Report to the Master.”
On the deck of the fishing boat, Li Dinghai was bowing respectfully to an extraordinary young man, and said cautiously, “In the next ten miles or so, after passing [Broken Sword Cliff], we will reach my Li family’s activity area. Outside.”
He is the second ancestor of the Hudao Li family, and he is in the early stage of Lingtai realm.
Ordinarily, he is only in his early 100s this year. Compared with the 200-year-old in the Lingtai Realm, he can live for a long time, but he looks quite old due to the constant exposure to wind, rain and hard work.
The man next to him is wearing a jade crown and black basalt brocade robe, with bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, and a graceful demeanor.
Hearing this, he said calmly and gently: “Old Ancestor Li, just continue to drive according to the map signs. If you encounter danger, we will do our best to protect the safety of you and your clan. No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, Defeat, I promise you that the benefits of the Hudao Li family will not be less.”
This handsome young man is none other than Wang Shouye, the seventh son of the Wang clan’s “Shou” generation, the King of Daqian Alchemy, and the family alchemist Wang Shouzhe has high hopes for.
Wang Shouye is now in his early 190s, 90 years older than Li Dinghai, but he still looks like a handsome young man in his twenties and thirties, and the difference cannot be calculated.
“Yes, Master.”
Li Dinghai smiled bitterly in his heart and had no choice but to continue directing the tribesmen to sail to their destination.
Although Wang Shouye’s attitude is very gentle, it is still difficult for a small eighth-grade family to refuse the request of a Master of the Purple Mansion.
After all, the most powerful monk Li Dinghai has ever seen in his life is only in the realm of heaven and humanity. Master Zifu is already a high and distant existence to him.
What’s more, this group of people all have dragons and phoenixes, and they have awe-inspiring demeanor. They obviously have great backgrounds. They are far more than just a master of Zifu. If the other party really has this intention, I’m afraid they can take the gourd with a flip of their hands. The Li family on the island was destroyed.
“Don’t worry, Old Ancestor Li.” Seeing the bitterness on Li Dinghai’s face, Gu Hanyu, who was standing on the other side, smiled and consoled him, “My junior brother who keeps the industry has always kept his word. Although you have to take some risks on this trip, But the Hudao Li family will definitely rise because of this.”
She is still wearing that simple white dress, like a hibiscus emerging from water, clear and flawless.
Listening to her words, Li Dinghai’s heart suddenly became hot.
Yes, the rewards this time are extremely generous, and they are all elixirs that are difficult to buy even if you have money. If the Li family operates properly, it is very possible to take this opportunity to cultivate a Celestial Being.
At that time, the family will be able to rise to the seventh rank, and the Hudao Li family will be like a completely different person.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the other party “keeps its promise.”
Under the dual motivation of fear and hope, Li Dinghai was naturally extra cautious, and the fishing boat headed to its destination without any danger.
While the fishing boat was moving, a woman with an enchanting figure and an outstanding temperament stood at the bow of the boat.
Her face was covered with a veil, and her face could not be seen clearly. Only her long black and red dress swayed in the sea breeze, like a blooming black peony.
She doesn’t speak much most of the time, but she will always remind her suddenly at critical moments: “There are many reefs three miles ahead. It is recommended to go around to the right.”
“Please note that the fog is getting thicker ten miles ahead, so please move forward slowly.”
“Huh? There is a huge fifth-level spiritual blood eel hidden in the rocks a few miles away. I will catch it and replenish the body of the young master.”
This woman is none other than Jiang Qingxue, one of the worshipers of the Wang family, the former “Red Demon Envoy”.
As a monk in the supernatural realm, she can be considered a figure even in the immortal dynasty. In such a remote corner of the country, she is naturally as if she were an immortal.
Relying on her huge spiritual power to navigate the wasteland, everyone had no dangers along the way and arrived at their destination smoothly.
It was a sea area covered with fog and seemingly extremely desolate.
The vast mist rolls on the sea, as if it has covered the ship with layers of gauze, making everything in the field of vision blurry. Only at ten o’clock at noon, the view will become clearer, and some rocks can be seen disappearing and appearing under the action of the waves.
Seeing this sea area, Master Alchemy, who had closed his eyes and meditated most of the time along the way, but remained silent, suddenly became excited.
He stood up with Gu Hanyu’s support and said excitedly: “It’s here, it’s here. It’s been almost seven hundred years, and my Alchemy Cauldron is finally back. Ancestor Li, how many days are there until the August 16th tide?” Day?”
“There is still one month.” Li Dinghai answered honestly.
“Okay, then wait a month.”
As for some things that need to be paid attention to during this trip, Master Alchemy made it clear to Wang Shouye and others earlier. As soon as Master Alchemy finished his instructions, everyone understood and each found a place and began to wait.
In fact, it has been a long time since their group arrived in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The reason why they have not entered the ruins is because time has not arrived.
The specific origin of the ruins discovered by Master Danding is very mysterious, and the entrance is also extremely secret, and can only be entered at a specific time. If you don’t have enough time, even if you arrive at the location, you won’t be able to enter the secret realm.
The big tide in a month’s time will be the only opportunity to enter the secret realm in the past hundred years.
For a while, the entire fishing boat became quiet.
Master Alchemy sat at the stern of the boat and once again fell into a state of silence with his eyes closed.
Most of the time along the way, Master Alchemy seemed extremely silent. Although he said nothing, Wang Shouye and other disciples all knew the underlying reason.
In Longzuo County, everyone only knows that Master Danding is a casual cultivator. But in fact, he was a native of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his family was a fifth-rank family.
Due to various reasons that he could not express clearly, he left his family and became a casual cultivator. At the end of the road, he formed a team and entered the [Ghost Sea of Reefs] for an adventure. As a result, all his teammates died, but he survived the catastrophe. Got an adventure.
With this unexpected encounter, he moved to Daqian, and counterattacked all the way to Zifu Realm, becoming a famous casual cultivator of the Alchemy Cauldron.
Now, it was his first return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty after hundreds of years, and it must have brought back some memories.
A month has flown by.
As the tide arrived as expected, the “ghost fog” on the sea became thicker and thicker, and soon became more than ten times denser.
However, a miracle also happened at this time. At the location marked on the map, a reef island rose instead of being flooded, gradually rising more than ten feet above the sea level.
“Shouye, you leave Jiang Zongfeng and two family generals to guard the boat.” Master Danding said with blazing eyes, “The rest of you will join me in the water.”
As a place of Lingxu inheritance, the normal target of inheritance is the Purple Mansion Realm. It is useless for Jiang Qingxue to enter, as it will only make the book weapon spirit unhappy.
Jiang Qingxue would naturally have no objections to this.
After Wang Shouye made some arrangements, he entered the water with his brothers and master.
They are all accomplished Xuanwu monks. The Xuanqi Gang stirs up all over their bodies, and they can easily block the sea water, just like the magic of avoiding water.
Master Danding, like an old horse knowing the way, took the lead and dived into the seabed more than ten feet deep under the sea surface.
After groping against the rocks for a while, he fit in and bumped forward.
In an instant, a subtle spatial fluctuation rippled out, and his entire body disappeared in front of everyone.
His disciples’ eyes lit up when they saw this, and naturally they followed suit and entered the space gaps attached to the rocks one after another.
Wang Shouye felt that the surrounding space was distorted, and the scenery in front of him had completely changed in the next moment.
His feet were stepping on a piece of moist and gentle soil, and he could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was clear. The slightly drunk sea breeze blew on his face, carrying waves of waves. Light smell of sea.
Obviously, the location beneath his feet was an island.
What was in front of him was a huge medicinal garden.
There are elixirs everywhere in the medicine garden, but there is no plan. The elixirs of all levels grow randomly and messily throughout the garden, with no regular distribution, and they are often crowded together in large areas. Here, some elixirs whose vitality is not strong enough are even about to wither due to lack of spiritual energy.
Only in a few spiritual fields near the center, you can still see traces of formation restrictions. The elixirs grown in them look much more orderly, at least the varieties are not so messy.
Obviously, this drug store has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has taken care of it for I don’t know how many years.
In some biographical novels, they always like to write that the protagonist enters a ruins and discovers a medicine garden filled with elixirs left by senior masters. Then the protagonist becomes rich and skyrocketing.
But in fact, as long as those who write biographies know more about elixirs and plants, they will not have such unrealistic illusions.
Elixirs and plants also have life limits.
Not all elixirs are better as they age, and not all elixirs can last tens of thousands of years without fading. Although the life span of elixirs and spiritual plants has been much longer for human monks, it is still limited after all.
Generally speaking, the higher the level of the elixir, the longer its lifespan.
Elixirs that can live for thousands of years are more common in fifth- and sixth-grade elixirs, while elixirs that can grow for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, are more common in seventh-grade and above elixirs. among.
After the lifespan is exceeded, the elixir will wither normally and reproduce and iterate, making it impossible to live forever.
Therefore, even though there are elixirs everywhere in this medicine garden, most of them are still lower-grade varieties, and the vintages are also uneven, and you can even see seedlings that have just grown for decades.
However, even so, the value of this medicinal garden is still immeasurable.
After all, even if there is no elixir of ten thousand years, elixirs that are thousands of years old are already extremely rare and valuable.
Wang Shouye glanced over and found several black plum trees.
This kind of tree is a very long-lived species and can live up to nearly 10,000 years. Once the tree is more than three thousand years old, it can produce fifth-grade black and yellow plum fruit, which can greatly improve physical fitness and nourish the body, and is especially suitable for male monks.
The fifth-grade spiritual fruit has a certain effect even on those who are powerful in the magical power realm. It is a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
The black and yellow plum trees in front of me vary in size. The small ones are only a few feet tall, and the tall ones are more than ten feet tall. One of them is obviously over three thousand years old.
There should be many elixirs like this in the medicine garden, but the exact number and value cannot be determined until detailed screening.
As for whether there are elixirs that are more than ten thousand years old in the medicinal garden, it is not yet certain. After all, this medicine garden has been neglected for too long and is really messy. The scents of various elixirs are mixed together, and the flickering spiritual lights overlap to form a colorful halo, which is dazzling and impossible to distinguish in detail.
Even if there really is a thousand-year elixir hidden inside, it may not be discovered in a short time.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shouye felt a little better, but the eyes of the other brothers turned green.
Although everyone is rich now, so many elixirs still have a strong impact on everyone’s outlook on life.
Qian Xuefu, who has a round body and a rich look on his face, could no longer resist the temptation and reached out to grab the nearest thousand-year-old elixir.
Wang Shouye hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and reminded him with a deep shout: “Brother Qian, stop it, don’t mess up the situation.”
Qian Xuefu was so shocked by his voice that his eardrums trembled, and he suddenly woke up.
He saluted Wang Anye awkwardly: “Thank you, junior brother, for being vigilant. It’s me, Meng Lang, this time.”
“Hmph, a worthless thing.” Master Alchemy put his hands behind his back and glared at Qian Xuefu with great dissatisfaction, “If these elixirs could be picked at will, would I be able to wait until today as a teacher?”
“Master is right.” Qian Xuefu apologized again with a red face.
“Master, we are all alchemists, so it is normal for us to be unable to control the best elixir for a while.” Wang Shouye helped to smooth things over.
“Shou Ye, you are the protagonist this time.” Master Danding said solemnly, “With your bloodline qualifications and prospects, it should not be difficult to gain the recognition of Senior Baodian. By then, the entire medicinal garden will theoretically be You will inherit it. However, I hope you will not forget your senior brothers and sisters and share some benefits with them.”
“Don’t worry, Master.” Wang Shouye said hurriedly, “We senior brothers and sisters have always had a deep relationship, just like biological brothers and sisters. Shouye will never forget them.”
After many years of getting along with each other, Master Aland Ding has great trust in Wang Shouye’s character. He nodded and said: “The greatest blessing in my life, Aland Ding, is that I have accepted all of you disciples, especially Shouye. In the future, The future is limitless. From now on, it’s up to you.”
After saying that, Master Alchemy no longer looked at them, but bowed deeply into the distance: “Junior pays homage to Senior Qi Ling. Junior has lived up to Senior Qi Ling’s trust and finally found a qualified person. An outstanding disciple who inherits the canon.”
There is a path in the medicine garden where they are located. At the end of the path, the outline of a building can be clearly seen.
It was a very typical alchemy room, with running water introduced at the door, small windows for heat dissipation and ventilation on all sides of the roof, and squatting objects carved in the shapes of the four divine beasts on the eaves, with an obvious style of the Shenwu period.
Master Danding’s salute was towards that building.
However, after half a stick of incense, there was still no response.
Seeing this, Master Danding saluted again and repeated the words he just said, but still no one responded.
His brows furrowed slightly, but he still reassured everyone: “Maybe Senior Qi Ling is resting, we will call him old man later.”
“Yes, Master.” Everyone followed the instructions and waited.
While everyone was waiting.
In the sky outside the ruins space, a flying chariot was cutting through the sky, shuttled through the fog, and was quickly heading towards the sea area.
The shape of this flying chariot is simple and heavy, the carriage is wide, and the spiritual birds pulling the chariot are actually two seventh-order Qingluan.
When flying, Qingluan has a graceful posture, and its green feathers shine in the sun, making it look elegant and noble.
The old man driving the car also had a restrained and unfathomable demeanor, showing his extraordinary status.
The decoration inside the flying chariot car is even more luxurious. The hanging silk curtains are light and elegant. The red copper incense burner on the low table is made into a flower pattern. The craftsmanship is complicated and elegant. The smoke drifts away like a fairy in the legend. It’s like a palace garden, full of fairyland.
As the smoke dispersed, the light aroma permeated the entire car, like a deep valley, quiet and distant.
Such exquisite craftsmanship can only be completed by the most ingenious and skilled craftsmen. Even in a third-grade aristocratic family, it is relatively expensive and would not be used so casually in a chariot. But in this flying car, there are several similar exquisite ornaments placed randomly.
It can be seen that the identity of the owner of this flying chariot must be extremely valuable.
On one side of the car, a young woman wearing a black starlight brocade dress was sitting by the window, looking at the ghost sea of reefs in the mist.
Her face was covered with a veil, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. Only the cinnabar-like red mark between her eyebrows was particularly bright, making her skin white and delicate, like white porcelain.
The clear light shrouded her body, and the black starlight brocade on her body reflected wisps of starlight, like a reflection of stars, elegant and beautiful, with a hazy feeling like the night.
Opposite her, there was an old woman also wearing black sitting.
Her hair was neatly tied on top of her head, but it was already gray. The skin on her body was shriveled and wrinkled, making her look extremely old.
“Luojia.” She looked at the young woman and said in a hoarse voice, “This is the last time I will accompany you to be willful. Otherwise, Your Majesty will blame you. How can the old lady and my family withstand the wrath of the emperor?” ”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Ling.” The woman’s cold voice was sweet and melodious, “After decades of investigation and intelligence compilation, I am 90% sure that the place where Zhenjun Xuandan will be enthroned will be Here.”
“I believe you and am willing to help you.” Aunt Ling gave her a loving look, “I know you want to fight for your own destiny. But you have to promise me that if you succeed in inheriting Xuan Xuan this time, It’s nothing more than the Alchemy Manual. If it fails, you have to go back and attend the blind date conference. Everything must be done with the overall situation in mind.”
This woman is the famous Princess Luojia of the Northern Zhou Dynasty royal family, and she is also the future Princess Luojia.
The young talents from all walks of life who were gathering towards the Northern Zhou Dynasty to marry her could never have imagined that Princess Luojia, who was at the center of the whirlpool, was also planning and working hard for her future at this moment.
“Yes, Sister Ling, I listen to you.”
Princess Luojia answered simply, but her calm eyes were extremely firm and confident.
After secretly preparing for so long and planning for so long, it was finally possible to determine the location of a treasure book.
This time, she is bound to get this [Xuan Dan Collection]!
