But for the immortal monks in this world, it is a real tonic.
Zhao Zhongcheng can't use it, but it doesn't mean his heirs can't use it.
So when he saw this bottle of panacea, Zhao Zhongcheng's eyes showed unbelievable shock.
If it is said that he only regarded Qingyu as a slightly qualified transaction partner before, then after seeing the strength displayed by Qingyu, his mind has naturally changed a lot: "Miss Qing, don't worry, this matter ... the old man will definitely do his best."
Chapter 058
"Looks like we don't have to go north to find the Land of Souls."
Back at the inn in Karasuma City, Su Anran spoke.
"Because of that spiritual disaster?" Qingyu immediately responded.
"Yes." Su Anran nodded, "The Tianyuan Secret Realm is attached to the gap in the mysterious world, so the spiritual energy here is not endless, it has a limit. It's just that those venerables who opened up this gap at the beginning They are very powerful, or they also know what will happen once these limits are completely used up, so they divided the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm into regions."
Qingyu looked at Su Anran in surprise.
The same is true for small butchers.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
"How do you know this?" Qingyu blinked.
"Eighth Senior Sister and Ninth Senior Sister told me." Su Anran rolled her eyes and said angrily.
It's not that he doesn't want to pretend to be aggressive and show off his intelligence.
It's just that everyone present, except Song Baiye, knew Su Anran's background very well, so he couldn't pretend to be forced, so he could only tell the truth.
"So, that's why the Tianyuan Secret Realm is divided into five regions?" Qingyu said, "Are they imitating the regions formulated by the Xuanjie?"
"Almost." Su Anran thought for a while, and her tone was not as sure as it was at the beginning, "But in these different regions, there must be more detailed regional divisions, but what is the situation in this regard, it is not us Now we can know the situation, after all, there are not many people in the cultivation world who will conduct geological surveys, because this matter has no meaning at all."
"So, if the aura in a certain area is exhausted, there will be a spiritual famine?"
"Hmm." Su Anran nodded, "According to Linglong Pavilion, spiritual desolation is not uncommon in Tianyuan Secret Realm, but it is also not common. It is rumored that this world once fell into a large-scale spiritual desolation , there was even a regress in the cultivation technique, and no one in this world advanced into the congenital dilemma. After that, I don’t know how long it took for the spiritual energy to recover, and this world also rejuvenated the vitality of the monastic world... According to the time flow of the two worlds, it can be inferred , when the spiritual energy of this world gradually recovers, it should be the beginning of the third era of our mysterious world."
"No wonder it has been said that the Tianyuan Secret Realm is inseparable from the prosperity of the Mysterious Realm." Qingyu nodded in amazement, "Then, given the current situation in the Mysterious Realm, there should be no more spiritual disasters in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, after all now The spiritual energy of the mysterious world is quite sufficient."
"Senior Sister Jiu said that there is a limit to the spiritual energy in this world." Su Anran emphasized the word "limited", "This method can certainly protect the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm from being exhausted and completely collapsed. But it also leads to an upper limit for the aura in this world, which is why it is impossible for monks in this world to enter the other side of Hayden, because the aura in this world is not enough for them to consume it."
"And for a long time, Tianyuan monks who have been accustomed to this kind of cultivation situation and rhythm have basically figured out how to avoid the phenomenon of spiritual famine... and Baicao Pavilion and Shennongzong have been continuously providing for the Northern Tang Dynasty. Forty percent of the spiritual plants in the entire North Ridge are produced. Do you think they don’t know how to avoid the spiritual famine? But why is the spiritual famine still breaking out now, causing problems with the harvest of these spiritual plants? Isn’t it suspicious? ?"
Qingyu just doesn't know what the spiritual disaster is, but now that she knows the corresponding situation from Su Anran, she also understands it.
Of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to think that this is some kind of magical weapon from Beiling - there have been several times in the mysterious world that lost magical soldiers were born, each time not only accompanied by changes in the world, but also a lot of aura Consumption, anyway, the situation is a mess.But this kind of situation has always had very obvious precursor symptoms, and it can never be an ordinary situation.
Furthermore, if it is really possible that the divine soldier was born, then the Northern Tang Dynasty should block the news now, and it is impossible for the news of the spiritual famine to spread to Wushui Kingdom.
Similarly, it is impossible for them to send some envoys to inspect the spiritual field of Wushui Kingdom.
Rather than saying that they are worried about the continued spread of the spiritual famine, it is better to say that they are guarding against someone making trouble.
Or……
damage.
"Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider." Qingyu exhaled heavily, she finally understood what Su Anran meant when she said that she didn't need to continue going north, "It's going south."
Su Anran also nodded solemnly.
Today, he knows much more about this beast than he did when he first entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
The Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider is a creature from a long time ago in the Mysterious Realm. Although no one knows why there is such a ferocious beast in this world, once it fully grows, its destructive power is quite terrifying.
Adult soul-splitting demon mountain spiders generally have the strength of the fairyland. If they are in an environment without natural enemies, they can even grow to the strength of the dao-based realm.Although such ferocious beasts lack intelligence and only know how to act according to their instincts, so they often cannot reach the other shore, but if they continue to grow and develop regardless of everything, their ultimate strength will be stronger than that of ordinary Daoist monks.
In particular, the Soul Splitting Demon Mountain Spider is not a lone beast, but it has the ability to manipulate "puppets".
Both Su Anran and Qingyu don't know how to calculate the destructive power of beasts in Tianyuan Secret Realm, but by the standard of Xuanjie, the destructive power of gregarious beasts is three to five times that of monks in the same realm.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Since there are people who understand the situation in two days, then we can just ask the so-called envoy directly." Su Anran said in a deep voice, "Since the Soul Splitting Demon Mountain Spider has gone south, it is in the northern part of the North Ridge. There is chaos in that area, even if we continue to go north, we will not be able to open trade routes, so let’s settle the business first.”
"Alright." Qingyu nodded, and didn't say much about Su Anran's decision.
The purpose of their trip was to find the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider, and to trade spiritual plants with Beiling, but it was just incidental.This time, they were able to obtain a small half of the spiritual plant resources from the Wushui Zhao family, which was enough for them to buy other spiritual plants from the mysterious world, and we can wait until the Soul Splitting Demon Mountain Spider is dealt with.
So for the next two days, Su Anran and the others didn't go anywhere, and just waited for the news in the inn.
On the contrary, Zhao Zhongcheng came over twice in the past two days.
Although they were just chatting about some commonplace things and didn't mention too many other secrets, Qingyu still had a good impression of Zhao Zhongcheng's attitude.
The three households of the Zhao family in Wushui are distinguished by brother, middle and uncle, and the heirs of the direct line will be named after the names of the heirs are determined by the order of the genealogy.
Zhao Zhongcheng is the direct heir of the Second Household, and his generation happened to be the Chengzi generation.
His eldest brother is Zhao Bocheng, and his third brother is Zhao Zhongcheng.
But now the head of the Zhao family is the second son of Zhao Zhongcheng's third brother Zhao Shucheng - the eldest son is too useless and naturally cannot inherit the sequence of the family tree, so the second son who is more talented inherits the third house.And this son, Zhao Shu'an, did live up to Sanfang's expectations. Not only did he inherit the leadership of Sanfang, he later became the head of the Zhao family in Wushui, more promising than his two cousins, Zhao Bo'an and Zhao Zhong'an.
Today, Zhao Shu'an is already in the sixth realm of the Upper Immortal Realm, and is expected to step into the seventh realm within a hundred years. If Zhao Bocheng does not die by then, then the Wushui Zhao family will have two monks from the seventh realm of the Upper Immortal Realm in charge, becoming the successors of Wushui. After the Wu Family and the Lei Family of the Water Country, the third family that has two monks from the seventh realm of the Immortals—Wushui Kingdom has a total of seven monks from the Seventh Realm of the Supreme Immortals, of which three are from the Wu Family of the royal family. There are two in the family, one each from the Zhao family and the Zhou family.
On the third day, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family and others who were expected to arrive did not come.
Zhao Zhongcheng did not show up either.
Su Anran and the others didn't know what happened, so they didn't act rashly.
Then on the fourth day and the fifth day, there was no news like a stone sinking into the sea.
Especially when they came to see Zhao Zhongcheng again, they were told that he had left the city with a team of Zhao family guards three days ago.Su Anran calculated the time a little bit, and knew that Zhao Zhongcheng took people out of Karasuma City on the night after meeting them. Obviously, the Patriarch of the Zhao family encountered some unexpected incident.
At this moment, no matter how slow Su Anran and the others were, they already understood that something unexpected had happened.
But Zhao Zhongcheng didn't tell the matter publicly, so no one in Karasuma City's City Lord's Mansion knew exactly where Zhao Zhongcheng took people, but the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion knew that Zhao Zhongcheng had been with Su Anran and others recently. So he deliberately went to find out, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Zhongcheng and others left the city through the south gate of Karasuma Castle.
"You and the little butcher stay in the city."
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Su Anran spoke directly to Qingyu.
"Why?" Qingyu frowned.
"Your strength is too weak." Su Anran glanced at Qingyu, "The Patriarch of the Zhao family has a problem with the strength close to the Dao Foundation Realm. Obviously, the troubles they encountered cannot be solved by ordinary fairyland. You are not very safe here alone, so the little butcher will stay to protect you, and you can find me through the little butcher when necessary."
Qingyu pursed her lips and did not continue speaking.
She also knows that strength is her biggest shortcoming. If this problem is not solved, she will really only be a vase in the future.But she is not stupid, so no matter how unwilling she is, she can only nod her head, expressing that she will obey Su Anran's orders.
Soon, Su Anran and Song Baiye left Karasuma City.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Qingyu breathed out, as if she wanted to release all the dissatisfaction in her heart: "Tell me, am I really too weak?"
"Yes." Qingyu nodded unequivocally, "Mother said, if you want to live well in this world, you must constantly improve your strength until no one dares to bully you... However, It's not good to improve your strength too fast, mother is very distressed now, she can't come to accompany daddy."
Qingyu glared at the little butcher angrily: "Hmph! I just asked you a question, and you said so much."
The little butcher blinked his beautiful big eyes, and then said: "Miss Qingyu, don't blame me for talking too much, but you are indeed too lazy. You also know the reason why Dad came to this world. I guess if This time we can successfully resolve the matter of the big spider. I am afraid that we will return to the Mysterious Realm in a short time. Your current level of cultivation cannot be with Daddy here, and it will be even more impossible when you return to the Mysterious Realm. gone."
Qingyu frowned tightly, and the expression on her face was indeed not very good-looking.
Of course she knew that what the little butcher said was true.
Su Anran came to Tianyuan Secret Realm to deal with the Soul-Splitting Demon Mountain Spider, which was the final cause and effect that hindered him from crossing the sea of suffering. Once this happened, he could start to try to cross the sea of suffering. At that time, he would no longer be able to stay in Tianyuan Secret Realm inside.And Qingyu is also very clear that once Su Anran returns to the Mysterious Realm, Shi Lezhi, who was unable to cross the boundary due to the restrictions of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, will definitely appear by Su Anran's side, and her life will not be as leisurely as it is now .
That one is the real Venerable of the Other Side Realm.
Just a coercion can prevent her from approaching Su Anran.
……
At the same time, at a distance of about three to five days' walk from Karasuma Castle, several embarrassing people were hiding in a cave.
Zhao Zhongcheng's figure stands out.
"Patriarch!" Zhao Zhongcheng walked in from the entrance of the cave, and approached a young man with a blank face, with a respectful expression.
"How's the situation?" The young man asked weakly.
"The ghost incense has been sprinkled, and it should be safe within a few hours."
"That's good." Zhao Shu'an nodded, "How far is this place from Karasuma Castle?"
"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will take two days to return to Karasuma Castle."
"Two days..." Zhao Shu'an sighed, "Is the ghost incense still enough?"
Zhao Zhongcheng shook his head: "The remaining ghost incense can only be used twice at most. If we are careful all the way on the road, we should be able to avoid each other for another day. But the journey on the last day is a plain without any cover, even if the ghost incense is gone again. Too much will not help, after all, the other party is not blind."
"Oh." Zhao Shu'an sighed.
Hearing a sigh, a cold female voice sounded in the cave: "Patriarch Zhao, is the next journey difficult?"
Facing this woman, Zhao Shuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Princess, here is still two days away from Karasuma Castle, we should be able to get a sufficient chance to rest tonight and tomorrow. But in the end For a day's journey, we have to cross a wilderness, so I'm afraid..."
"Then, can we wait for rescue here?" The woman known as the princess said, "After all, when the attack happened at the beginning, after all, the attack happened suddenly this time, so the camp was breached, but the two envoys With General Lei, we must be able to regroup quickly, right? So, should we just leave a mark and wait quietly until rescue?"
"Princess, if this is the case, General Lei and the suzerain's envoy will find us before my second uncle." Zhao Shu'an shook his head and sighed, "But in fact, the other party still has the manpower and ability to defeat the enemy brought by my second uncle." People, even severely wounded me... I am afraid that General Lei and the two envoys of the Suzerain Kingdom are in danger."
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became dignified and silent.
Zhao Shu'an seemed to realize that what he said was a bit heavy, so he immediately said again: "But please rest assured, Your Highness, one day, I will recover [-]% of my strength, and no matter how many pursuers there are, I will stay and block them , you only need to return to Karasuma Castle with my second uncle as soon as possible to be safe."
Chapter 059 This is Miss Qingyu's Guard
From the south gate of Karasuma City, there is a prairie like flat land.
The water and soil here are quite fertile, so there are dozens of spiritual plant farms outside the city, which are responsible for taking care of and producing some spiritual plants that do not have particularly high environmental requirements-the demand for this type of spiritual plants is the greatest, but the requirements are also the lowest. Therefore, it is naturally possible to carry out control operations through some special means, so as to achieve large-scale mass production.
After about a day's journey, you will enter the Wushui Mountains - this is a mountain range that spans the entire Wushui country, and all the branches and peaks in the Wushui country extend from this mountain range.
The mountains are huge, and there are many fierce beasts inside, and naturally there are many rare spiritual plants.
If you don't follow the path opened up by the predecessors, you may get completely lost after going deep into the mountains. It is a fluke if you can find the way out; Become a pile of dry bones in the mountains.
Su Anran and Song Baiye came out from the south gate of Karasuma City and galloped all the way.
It was supposed to take about two days to enter the Wushui Mountains, but it was only half a day for them.
But after entering the range of the mountain range, Su Anran and Song Baiye also had to lower their altitude.
Because of the lush vegetation in the mountain ranges of Beiling, many of them present a primitive forest-like forest environment, so if Su Anran and others continue to fly in the sky, it is impossible to find anyone, after all, they are not at the moment. It is in a state of rush, so there is no need to continue to fly at high altitude.
"Can you find them?" Su Anran turned to look at Song Baiye.
He knew that Song Baiye had a very special ability. Although he couldn't identify the target accurately, he could still catch the breath of the living and the dead, provided that the target happened to be within Song Baiye's range of perception.
Song Baiye didn't answer, just took a deep breath.
All of a sudden, there was a strong wind around, and the visible air flow was sucked into Song Baiye's nasal cavity like a whale.
After a while, the wind stopped for a while.
Song Baiye finally said: "Within a hundred miles ahead, there is no smell of living people, but there are quite a few smells of dead bodies... and some beasts."
"No one?" Su Anran asked again.
Song Baiye frowned slightly, and then said, "I'm not sure if that's a human being?...It smells like a living thing, but it smells like a dead corpse."
"Parasite." Su Anran looked solemn, "Where are these things!"
Song Baiye didn't speak, and when he moved his body, he started to rush forward.
Su Anran followed closely behind.
The towering trees in the forest, the messy roots protruding from the ground, these things are obstacles to ordinary people, but they are nothing to Song Baiye and Su Anran. Nothing, just moving forward quickly.
But it's just a few breaths.
Su Anran only felt that the field of vision in front of her was suddenly empty, and the two of them broke into a messy battlefield.
Obviously, a fierce battle broke out on this battlefield, because the ground is full of remnants of the battle.
For example, big trees that exploded and collapsed, weapons and many corpses scattered all over the place, there are still many burning flames around, and some kind of strange burnt smell wafting out.But what really catches the eye is that dozens of people with different clothes, appearances, ages, genders, and weapons are cleaning the battlefield—they clean up the corpses that have not been burnt, have complete limbs, and have no obvious injuries. They were all transported to an open space, and then a spider-like monster spewed out white silk, wrapping the corpses one by one like a package.
The appearance of Su Anran and Song Baiye was too abrupt, and the movement was not small.
So these people naturally looked at Su Anran and Song Baiye.
For the first time, Song Baiye's eyes clearly showed disgust.
