Chapter 567: Journey to the Great Zhou

It was almost noon when a spiritual light cut through the sky. When we got closer, we saw seven or eight cultivators standing on a spiritual boat that was more than ten feet long, led by Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan.

They had left the Southern Wilds for many days and were preparing to go to the Great Zhou along the line of the Kingdom of Qi and the Kingdom of Pei.

The Great Zhou was the most powerful country in Nanyazhou. The power of the ten major sects in the Great Zhou exceeded that of the six sects in the Qi Kingdom, and there were countless small and medium-sized sects.

In the entire Great Zhou, there were more than a hundred Yuanying-stage cultivators and more than a thousand Jindan-stage cultivators. In this country, Jindan was worse than dogs and Yuanying was everywhere.

In addition, there was a Yuanshen-stage master Yu Daoren in Kunyuan Mountain of the Great Zhou.

Unlike Qingyunzi, although this old senior did not move around often, he built the mountain gate in the open.

It was rumored that he had practiced for three lifetimes and had a cumulative lifespan of more than five thousand years. He not only cultivated thirteen Yuanying masters, but also reached the final stage of ascension.

The ten major sects of the Great Zhou are now headed by Kunyuan Mountain.

The area of ​​Da Zhou is vast, about dozens of times that of Yu State, and the number of low-level cultivators exceeds tens of millions.

The sects here have not encountered monster invasions for tens of thousands of years. The spiritual medicine gardens they cultivate can also stably supply most of the thousand-year spiritual medicines. As long as there are spiritual stones, they can even occasionally buy some spiritual objects above the sixth level.

This time, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife led the team to Da Zhou, accompanied by two injured people, Lu Hongniang and Luo Ziyan, plus three new purple mansions in the sect.

The three young purple mansions were preparing to travel in Da Zhou, and took Zhang Zhixuan's favorable boat to save a few months of effort.

The three people who had just opened up the purple mansion, one was Zhang Zhixuan's disciple, the other was a member of the Zhang family, and although the last one had no relationship with the two, Qingchan didn't want to favor one over the other, and gave each of them a fourth-level high-quality spiritual talisman.

This time, because a large number of monster materials were captured during the monster rebellion, Qingchan refined a large number of high-level spiritual talismans.

There were more than three fifth-level talismans, and countless fourth-level talismans. Almost every cultivator in the sect who was above the Purple Mansion stage exchanged one or two. Even some veteran ninth-level foundation-building cultivators exchanged a fourth-level talisman, which made Qingchan earn a lot of money.

The market value of a fourth-level high-quality talisman is about 10,000 spiritual stones, which is not often available even for cultivators in the late Purple Mansion stage.

Qingchan made a fortune, and the three of them might encounter danger when traveling outside, so he gave away property worth 30,000 spiritual stones at one time.

This time, Zhang Zhixuan did not use the Godly Boat, but used the fourth-level boat in Lu Hongniang's hand. However, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan had profound magic power, and the speed of driving the boat was still far beyond the speed of the Purple Mansion stage cultivators.

Even though the journey to Da Zhou was long, it took only one and a half months for everyone to arrive in Da Zhou.

This time they came to Da Zhou, in addition to the three new purple mansions going out to travel, Lu Hongniang and Luo Ziyan mainly wanted to buy some high-level spiritual pills for healing and recover as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan mainly wanted to come to Da Zhou to see if they were lucky enough to buy spiritual objects for Hanyan to form a pill.

For this reason, the four high-level leaders of the sect almost cleared out the spiritual stones stored in Qingxuan Sect.

The current sect treasury does not even have the working capital to pay the annual salary to the cultivators, and can only be used to replenish the objects.

Lu Hongniang has been to Da Zhou several times and has the most experience.

Speaking of which, she and Luo Ziyan were able to come to Da Zhou this time because of Zhang Zhixuan and his wife.

If there is no escort, the two of them are seriously injured and it is difficult to take action now. The sect is also worried about them leaving.

After entering Da Zhou, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife first sent away Zhang Yunlan, Wen Ziqing and others who were traveling together, and told them not to cause trouble and not to easily conflict with others.

Then they came directly to the destination of this trip, Huoshan City. It was in this city that Lu Hongniang found the Dan-forming spiritual object.

Huoshan City is located on a majestic mountain. The main peak on the top of the mountain reaches the sky and is about 38,000 feet high.

The top of the mountain is connected to the outer wind of the sky. There is no grass and rocks. After billions of years of wind blowing, the rocks on the top of the main peak are all fiery red and crystal. Any piece taken is a treasure for refining magic tools.

It is rumored that this mountain was originally the cave of a seventh-level true dragon who was about to ascend to heaven, but was later expelled by an ancient great supernatural cultivator Huo Daoren.

A fierce battle actually cut this spiritual mountain into two sections, and a section on the top of the mountain was refined into a rare treasure.

From then on, this mountain was renamed Huoshan from Tianlong Mountain, and the spiritual veins on the mountain also dropped from the seventh level to the sixth level. The height of Huoshan was also reduced by about 3,000 feet, and it has been out of contact with the outer wind of the sky since then.

However, the top of Huoshan Mountain is still 35,000 feet high. Thick black ice piled up on the top of the mountain never melts all year round. Even hard iron and stone will be frozen into stone powder at this height. Even low-level monsters with thick skin and flesh cannot survive in this environment for too long.

However, the spiritual energy on the top of the mountain is the most abundant, and it can attract the outer wind and the thunder and fire of the nine heavens. It is a very good cave for masters above the Nascent Soul stage.

The largest number of cultivators in Huoshan City are still the cultivators in the Qi training stage. Although these cultivators are much stronger than ordinary people, they are not suitable for living at an altitude of more than 3,000 feet.

So this huge city of immortal cultivators was actually built at the foot of Huoshan Mountain.

The foot of Huoshan Mountain is warm like spring all year round, and the nearby area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles is also an endless plain, suitable for ordinary people to farm and settle down.

It is said that the owner of this sacred mountain is the descendant of the great cultivator Huo Daoren, but the cultivators in Huoshan City are very secretive about the situation, even the masters who have formed the elixir on the mountain are not very clear.

However, there is indeed an extremely powerful defensive formation on Huoshan Mountain, and there are also Yuanying-stage cultivators stationed on the mountain.

In the past thousand years, although Huoshan City has encountered several crises, it has survived them all safely, and the Yuanying-stage cultivators on the mountain still firmly guard this sacred mountain.

Huoshan City has strict rules, but it does not prohibit the exchange of cultivators. The true fire and black ice on the mountain are suitable for tempering magic tools and refining elixirs.

A large number of spiritual medicines are also planted on the mountainside, and the oldest ones are more than ten thousand years old.

This environment is most suitable for casual cultivators with shallow foundations and no one to drag them down.

Thousands of years later, countless cultivators have gathered near Huoshan Mountain, and even some Jindan masters with successful cultivation have come here to practice in seclusion.

Some of them have established foundations on the mountain, and some have cultivated spiritual veins and established families near Huoshan Mountain.

Even some small and medium-sized sects nearby have opened shops in Huoshan City.

The entire Huoshan City has hundreds of thousands of cultivators, more than five times that of Qingxuan Sect. Even the number of cultivators in the foundation building and purple palace is far greater.

There are also five-element fruit trees on Huoshan Mountain. Whenever the five-element spiritual fruits are ripe, the city market will hold an auction ceremony to publicly auction these elixir-forming spiritual objects.

Unfortunately, it takes five hundred years for the five-element fruit trees to mature. If Zhang Zhixuan wants to participate in this event and buy elixir-forming spiritual objects for Hanyan, he may have to wait for six generations. According to Hanyan's life span, he can't wait until then.
