Chapter 162 Entering the Mountain
A big purchase, spent all the spiritual stones on Qingyang. When he was in Kaiyuan Mansion, Qingyang thought that owning a spiritual stone was a great fortune. Now he spent ten spiritual stones at once, and he didn't think he bought much. This spiritual stone is really not worth spending.
Many cultivators say that money, friends, Dharma and land are the four most important conditions for cultivating immortals, and none of them can be missing. Now it seems that it is reasonable to put money first.
Yu Mengmiao has not been in a good mood for the past two days, but Qingyang is busy. He studies the control method of spiritual insects, purchases various materials, prepares before departure, and has to take time to practice. He has no time to enlighten her specifically. Sometimes he will take her with him when he goes shopping to relax.
On the third day, Qingyang was ready, and Liang Chongtian came to pick up Yu Mengmiao as scheduled. Although Yu Mengmiao was reluctant, she knew that Qingyang would not change his mind. She could only follow Liang Chongtian to the Liang family with red eyes, hoping that Qingyang would keep his word and come back to pick her up as soon as possible.
After sending Yu Mengmiao away, Qingyang checked his whole body again. He carried the Red Flame Sword on his waist, lined with the Crocodile Dragon Armor, and hid several talismans close to his body. Those that were not often used were thrown into the Drunken Immortal Gourd. Those that were often used were all wrapped up in a bundle and carried on his back, and then he went out to find Lu Dingshan.
Lu Dingshan was also well prepared. Like Qingyang, he carried a bundle on his back and a mountain-splitting axe on his waist. As for whether he had other life-saving items hidden on his body, it was unknown.
Every casual cultivator has some secrets. Some have enemies who are eyeing them covetously, some are naturally low-key, and some just don't want to expose their whereabouts. For example, Qingyang has the enemy of the Li family to pay attention to. Therefore, the whole team will not gather in Yuling City and then swagger out of the city, but agreed to meet at a place more than 200 miles outside the city.
In Yuling City, the Liang family suppressed the Li family, so they didn't dare to cause trouble to Qingyang casually. But if they entered the mountain, it was hard to say. They didn't know whether the Li family would send people to track and assassinate them, so the two of them did some simple disguises and then left Yuling City in a very low-key manner.
After leaving the city, the two did not delay for a moment and headed for the place they agreed on. In the hundreds of miles around Yuling City, because it is close to the city, the activities of cultivators are more frequent, so there are few monsters, which is relatively safe.
The road is rugged and difficult to travel, and most of the mountain trails are covered by trees and weeds. Even if they are all cultivators in the Kaimai realm, they can't travel fast. Moreover, the occasional wild beasts in the mountains, although they do not pose a threat to them, often affect their speed.
Until dark, the two had only walked more than a hundred miles, and they were still far away from the meeting place. At night, they found a cave in the mountains, cleaned it up, blocked the cave entrance with stones and branches, and rested in it for a night. They set off again at dawn the next day.
After that, they walked for more than two hours. Seeing that it was almost noon, they finally arrived at the agreed place. This is a small mountain with a large flat land on the top of the mountain. There is a thousand-year-old tree on it. It is quite conspicuous in the surrounding area and is easy to find.
On the edge of the mountain, a middle-aged man stood in the wind, looking around with sharp eyes. Next to him was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking calm and calm. Both of them are in their thirties and have cultivated to the ninth level of Kaimai Realm.
As soon as Qingyang and Lu Dingshan approached the peak, they were discovered by them. The middle-aged man said, "It's Lu Dingshan who came. The young man next to him who is at the fifth level of Kaimai Realm should be the cultivator Qingyang that he insisted on us taking with him last time, right?"
The middle-aged scholar next to him nodded and said, "His cultivation is not high, but considering that he is only in his teens, it is not bad to have such a cultivation. His future achievements may not be lower than ours."
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "What Fellow Daoist Lin said is right, but how he will achieve in the future depends on his luck. The road to cultivating immortals is extremely difficult. How many people with excellent qualifications have fallen on hard times? How many people have been devastated by a little setback? If this person's luck and character are not good, no matter how good his qualifications are, it will be useless."
"This person dares to enter the mountain with the cultivation of the middle stage of Kaimai Realm. This character should be good." The middle-aged scholar said casually.
As they were talking, Qingyang and Lu Dingshan had already reached the top of the mountain and came to the two. Lu Dingshan first bowed to the two, then pointed at Qingyang and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you two waiting. This is the Taoist friend Qingyang I mentioned to you before." The middle-aged scholar just nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man bowed and said, "We haven't been here for long, and everyone hasn't arrived yet. You're not too late. This Taoist friend Qingyang dared to go deep into Yuling Mountain at such a young age. His spirit is commendable." At this time, Lu Dingshan introduced Qingyang again, "These two are you and me. The two captains mentioned, the one on the left is Daoist Fellow Duan Rushong, and the scholar on the right is Daoist Fellow Helanfeng. They are both at the ninth level of Kaimai Realm, and are the best among our low-level casual cultivators.
Qingyang also bowed and said, "You two Daoists are too kind. The Immortal Knocking Conference is coming, and we have to go into the mountains to take risks. I hope you two Daoists will take care of us this time."
"As teammates, if we really encounter danger, we will help as much as we can, but we can't take care of you. Everything depends on you." The middle-aged man Duan Rushong said.
We are neither relatives nor friends, and this is the first time we meet. No one will ignore their own safety in order to save others. Let alone the two people opposite, Lu Dingshan probably can't do it. The other party is telling the truth. It was good to have such a statement. Qingyang nodded and said: "I know!"
The movement here had already alerted other people on the top of the mountain. Not far away from them, two people who were sitting on a big rock chatting first looked this way, and then walked side by side towards this side. Afterwards, several figures flashed across the thousand-year-old tree, and three figures jumped down from the tree, converging towards this side in front and back.
The two people who came up from the stone, one a monk and the other a layman, were about forty years old, and they were both at the eighth level of Kaimai Realm. The layman was dressed like a wandering doctor, thin and carrying a small medicine box behind his back;
The monk was holding a magic pestle in his arms. His figure was exactly the opposite of Doctor You. He was fat and had a big head on top. I don’t know if his neck was too short or if he didn’t have a long neck at all, just like a sweet potato with a big head on it. Like a potato, it looks very funny.
