Chapter 378 Ju Ruhai
"Have you eaten enough after drinking demonic energy for several days in a row?"
The figure who walked out of the cave, dressed in ink, stroked the soft feathers of the mutated blue bird and said with a chuckle.
The mutated blue bird chirped a few times and rubbed his arm, looking very submissive.
"Although the demonic energy here is good, we have important things to do after all. We can't stay here for a long time. Fortunately, I have collected a lot of demonic energy to make elixirs for you. Let's continue on our way."
This person is Ye Chunyang.
After avoiding the ancient giant monster a few days ago, he accidentally passed by here and found that there were countless monster bones here. Every night, a strong monster aura would be emitted. He thought that the monster aura was a great tonic for Xiao Qing. , so he collected demonic energy and refined elixirs here to prepare for future needs.
After all, there is no place with such a strong demonic aura in the outside world, so how can we miss such a rare opportunity.
When he was refining alchemy in seclusion, he released Xiaoqing and let it absorb by itself. However, he did not expect that he would be targeted by the monks passing by. Moreover, Xiaoqing's aura was unique and it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish its true cultivation level. The two foundation-building monks only thought it was an upper-level one, and out of greed, they wanted to set an ambush and capture it.
Those two people didn't expect it to be a second-level monster, so they took their lives.
Hearing this, Xiaoqing seemed reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey his master's order, so he had to scratch his claws and fly back to the spirit beast bag.
Ye Chunyang smiled, walked to the bodies of the two monks, and picked up each other's Qiankun bag. But after scanning it with his spiritual consciousness, he put it away without interest. It seemed that these two people had not come in for a long time and did not find any valuable treasures here.
After thinking for a while, he took out a fiery red compass, about the size of a palm. The pointer was a firelight condensed with spiritual energy, which was very unique.
After setting the compass, I saw the fire turning and pointing in a certain direction.
"According to the compass, my current location should be in the southwest of the outer layer of the Spiritual Heaven Realm, while the Wanhuo Gate is in the inner layer. They are far apart. It will probably take a long time to find them."
Ye Chunyang pondered. This square compass is called the "Sky Fire Compass". It was obtained when he and Xue Meiren killed the ancient fire dragon. Judging from the information left by the ancient monk, Wanhuo Sect was quite famous in ancient times, and it was also Even if a large sect is located in the inner layer of the spiritual world, it seems that as long as you take out this compass after entering the spiritual world, you can clearly point out the location of its sect.
Although he was not sure whether it was true or not, this was the only clue available to Ye Chunyang, so he could only give it a try.
However, the inner layer is far more unpredictable than the outer layer. In addition to space cracks and restrictions, the road leading to it also has countless unknown dangers. Therefore, he does not plan to break into the inner layer directly, but wants to explore the outer layer for a while. , understand the specific situation clearly before taking action.
Besides, there are also many ruins of ancient sects in the outer layer, and maybe something can be gained.
After confirming the direction, Ye Chunyang immediately set off to escape far away.
However, just as he was in the air, a look of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then he straightened up and returned to the mountain stream. He landed next to the body of the monk surnamed Ma and grabbed a piece of slightly shiny stone. Jade card.
Surprise and suspicion flashed across his face. The jade was unattractive in appearance, and there was nothing attractive about it. Therefore, he had not paid attention to it just now. But at this time, it seemed that it was a magical weapon that could be used to communicate. He was feeling the call of others. .
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chunyang probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a moment, he frowned, his expression a little uncertain, as if he was thinking about something, and finally threw away the communication instrument and walked away again.
…
The deeper you go into the spiritual world, the stronger the sealing power of the barrier becomes, and there are more and more space cracks. But fortunately, as the space cracks increase, the fluctuations become more obvious. Unless you are really unlucky, you should carefully You can still find some abnormalities through perception.
Under such circumstances, Ye Chunyang has extraordinary spiritual consciousness, which is naturally much more advantageous. He can quietly avoid space cracks when encountering them, and his traveling speed is naturally much faster.
After flying for three days, he stopped on a barren mountain and looked around. He saw a small ancient city in front of him in the distance. There were occasional escape lights around it, as if monks were gathering in the city.
"That should be a safe city."
After taking this scene into his eyes, Ye Chunyang murmured to himself.
Three days ago, he got some news from the monk named Ma. At that time, someone was summoning this person, saying that there was a safe city nearby and calling him to meet.
Safe City is an ancient city left in the Lingtian Realm. Although the Lingtian Realm has extremely strong seals, it only targets some ancient sects. These safe cities were once used by ancient monks to exchange trade and cultivate immortals. They are not restricted. They are not restricted to those ancient sects. The ancient giant monster also has natural protection, so monks who enter the world often choose to go into the city to escape after encountering danger.
With crowds of people gathering, the news is naturally well-informed.
At the same time, there are also some monks who will trade privately in Safe City after finding treasures. After all, although there are many treasures in the spiritual world, not every one is suitable for them, but they can often exchange things for things from others.
However, the safety city here is not guarded by a special law enforcement team like the Xiuxian City in the outside world. Fighting and robbery are common. In order to prevent someone from being malicious during transactions, most of them are monks with the same level of cultivation.
Ye Chunyang didn't care who the monk surnamed Ma met, he just wanted to go to the city to find out some information so that he could take action in the future.
With this thought in mind, he set off and headed towards the safe city.
This safe city is not big, with only a few streets, and not many monks enter the city. Most of them are in the middle to late stage of foundation building, and occasionally some magic monks can be seen.
Ye Chunyang found no acquaintances here. It seemed that they had all been teleported away separately. And judging from the number of people entering the city, it was obvious that the people who entered the spiritual world were extremely scattered and it was difficult to gather together.
After observing for a while, Ye Chunyang entered an inn in the city. It had long been abandoned, but there were faint voices coming from it, and he should be able to get some information.
After entering the inn, Ye Chunyang waved his sleeves and used his magical power to create a pot of sake and several plates of side dishes, which he poured and drank by himself.
Crowds of people gathered together in twos and threes, and the conversation was lively.
Ye Chunyang wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of his fellow disciples, so he used his spiritual consciousness to inquire.
Although he didn't want to go to the same place with them before he found Wanhuo Gate, Ye Chunyang was still a little worried about their safety. Although the people talking around him had set up isolation and bans, they were mostly foundation-building monks, and his spiritual consciousness was naturally He probed into it quietly.
Most of the people gathered here are disciples of small sects. Many people were involved in the space cracks when they entered the world. Some people encountered some ancient and strange places and obtained some treasures. It can be said that there were losses and gains.
But after listening for a while, Ye Chunyang didn't get any useful information. It seemed that the disciples of Tianqi Sect had not been transported to the southwestern realm.
He drank a few drinks, inquired again for a while, and then stood up to leave.
However, just as he was walking away, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Fellow Taoist, stay!"
Ye Chunyang frowned, looked up, and saw an old man in gray walking towards him.
This man had a kind smile, and he was in the early stage of his magic power. He looked at him a few times before and after walking up to him, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.
"What advice do you have?" Ye Chunyang looked at the other party with an eyebrow.
"I don't dare. I just saw that my fellow Taoist is also a magic monk. This spiritual world is dangerous and unpredictable, so I wanted to make friends with my fellow Taoist. I wonder if I will reward you?"
The old man was not polite, sat down next to him and said with a smile.
Ye Chunyang remained indifferent and said expressionlessly after a moment: "Sorry, I'm used to walking alone and don't want to deal with anyone. You'd better find another Taoist friend."
What is dangerous in the spiritual world is not only the restrictions and space cracks here, but also the human heart is more unpredictable.
Naturally, this old man did not pose any threat to Ye Chunyang, but he had his own purpose and did not want to go with others, so he left after saying this.
"Wait a minute!" The old man stood up and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, you should want to go to the inner level, right?"
Ye Chunyang frowned but did not speak.
The old man added: "Over the past thousands of years, a lot of treasures in the outer layer have been plundered by predecessors. There is not much left to find. If you want to find the treasures, you still need to go to the inner layer. However, in the spiritual world, It is vast and boundless, the inner and outer layers are far apart, and there is a huge sea of fog in the middle. There are restrictions within it that restrain spiritual consciousness, and ordinary people cannot cross it. If you want to go to the inner layer, it may not be easy. "
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes slightly. Before coming here, he had tried to go to the inner layer through the sea of fog, but the situation he encountered was just like what the old man said. His consciousness was blocked and he could not identify the direction.
Moreover, the sea of fog was very large, and he would definitely get lost if he forced himself into it. Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily come to the safe city to find another way.
But he didn't know what the old man meant by what he said.
He frowned at the other party, his eyes sharp.
The old man waved his hand indifferently and said: "To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, I am fortunate enough to know some ways to cross the sea of fog, but I need the help of some fellow Taoists in the magic stage. If you are interested in entering the inner layer, you might as well sit down and discuss Ichiban?”
"Really?" Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows.
The sea of fog that separates the inner and outer layers cannot be detected with spiritual consciousness. You must not move forward rashly. If the other party really has a way to pass through the sea of fog, you might as well listen.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded and sat back down, saying, "I wonder what your friend said?"
The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Taoist friend. I haven't asked my Taoist friend what your name is? What sect you are from?"
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed and he said: "I am in Ye Ting. I have no family or sect, and I practice alone."
Ye Xiaobao's identity is now well known in the Beimei Immortal World, which would cause unnecessary trouble, so Ye Chunyang used a pseudonym to show his identity.
Surprise flashed across the old man's eyes. There were not many casual cultivators who could cultivate magic power. Even if there were, they were probably recruited by the sect. However, this person's name was indeed very unfamiliar. He must have been an expert who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and this person You look young, maybe you have practiced some kind of beauty-preserving technique.
This person is so mysterious, and I think he has some tricks, which will be of great benefit to what is going to happen this time.
The old man's thoughts were whirling, but he showed no emotion on the surface. He smiled, bowed his hands, and said, "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Ye. My surname is Ju, my name is Ruhai, and I am the elder of the Shaohua Sect."
