Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan asked: "What information can you provide me?"

Even though he said this, he felt his heart getting cold. The two pieces of information about the Black Claw Mountains and Fingerbone Peak mentioned by the three people before finally allowed him to piece together the map.

Fortunately, the Black Claw Mountains are vast and occupy a huge area, so he immediately found its location on the map, and it was not on another continent across the sea that he was worried about. But unfortunately, it does not have the Dark Moon Realm, but the Floating Moon Realm above the Dark Moon Realm.

If he wants to go to the Great Mirage at the southernmost point of the Dark Moon Realm, he must pass through most of the Floating Moon Realm, climb over the extremely difficult to climb Langdian Snow Peak between the two realms, and then cross the entire Dark Moon Realm to reach it!

The distance in between is so long that it can no longer be described as a hundred and eighty thousand miles! What we have to pass in the middle is almost the most prosperous place with the densest concentration of monks in the entire Yin Yue Blood Realm.

Liu Qinghuan felt extremely depressed. What faced him and all the monks who took on this mission was a long and bumpy distance that was almost insurmountable.

Looking at the opposite side, the three people exchanged glances, obviously discussing with their spiritual consciousness. Liu Qinghuan was not in a hurry. He had already obtained the information he wanted to know most, so he only needed to take a step at a time.

What is worth pondering is that these three people all hid their cultivation and pretended to be mortals hiding in this small village. Although this was almost obvious to Liu Qinghuan, if they were far away, it would not be easy to detect their existence.

Among the three people, the female cultivator was obviously the main one. After the discussion was completed, the female cultivator smiled and said: "I would like to ask, is my fellow Taoist a ghost cultivator?"

Liu Qinghuan frowned: "What does this question mean?"

The female cultivator looked him up and down: "Although your appearance is not as pale as that of ordinary ghost cultivators, if we read it correctly, the death energy that occasionally leaks out of you is extremely strong, and it can only be found in ghost cultivators." Such pure death energy.”

The sword of life and death in Liu Qinghuan's sleeve waved against his arm like a fish.

He is the holy body of green wood, and his spiritual power is extremely pure, and he also carries the clean and gentle meaning of wood energy. This cannot be completely concealed by concealing magic weapons. In short, he does not look like a demon cultivator. So he surrounded himself with a trace of black energy from the Sword of Life and Death, covering up the strong vitality in his body.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the female cultivator for a moment, and still said: "So you asked me what I mean by being a ghost cultivator?"

"Well, this is what we are going to talk about later." The female monk looked outside the tea shop, set up a soundproof shield, and then said: "Since you are sincere, I am not lying. . In fact, it has been several days since the three of us escaped from it, but we took great risks to get to this town just to learn about the situation in the Black Claw Mountains. We are really helpless about the current situation. It’s extremely detrimental to us.”

"Oh?" Liu Qinghuan said expressionlessly: "What's the disadvantage?"

The female cultivator muttered and said: "Fellow Taoists escaped from the Black Claw Mountains because the fighting there was too fierce, right? No matter how nice the promises made by those big families are, we small sect monks and casual cultivators with low cultivation level, After all, we are just pawns to pave the way. No one cares about our lives, of course we can only care for ourselves."

The male cultivator in black clothes next to him echoed: "Yes, we were also fooled by lard at the beginning! I heard that the south has occupied a continent in the other world, and the big sects of the big families are red-eyed and instigating. , so I was blinded by money for a while, and only thought about countless spiritual stones and immortal cultivation resources. How could I still see clearly that if I want to get any reward, I have to pay the price in blood! "

To the south... Liu Qinghuan thought to himself, it should be referring to the Dark Moon Realm, right? I heard that the relationship between the Floating Moon Realm and the Dark Moon Realm is not very good, and they often clash over territory.

The male cultivator in black clothes continued to sigh: "Fortunately, it's not too late now. If a great cultivator of the Transformation God hadn't suddenly rushed over from the opposite interface, and he was also a great cultivator who was going through the tribulation, he would have rushed in with just a few tribulation thunders. Everyone at the front has been killed, and I still can’t wake up!”

"Yes!" Another jade-faced male cultivator nodded hurriedly and said with lingering fear: "It's too scary. Everyone on the Finger Bone Peak didn't even fight for a round, and they were basically chopped to pieces! No one escaped, Even the Nascent Soul cultivator didn’t escape! Fortunately, we didn’t grab the front position, otherwise we wouldn’t be alive now!”

"Speaking of this, I feel chilled! Those big families are hiding behind, and most of the sect monks and casual cultivators in front are there. It's really miserable!"

"That's not entirely true. Have you ever noticed that some aristocratic families who danced happily were overwhelmed by the profits and the big pie this time? This time they also sent many people to rush ahead. Now they can be regarded as stealing chickens. It’s impossible to lose a lot of rice!”

"Hmph! The ones rushing in front are not direct descendants of their family, they are just outsiders and marginalized children of the clan."

The two sighed together, and the female cultivator interrupted: "Okay, let's not discuss these meaningless things anymore. It's not safe here. It's really not the place to talk. Let's keep the story short."

She looked at Liu Qinghuan: "So, we can't go to die anymore, we can only leave this place as soon as possible. However, we got a message that maybe there were too many monks who escaped before, and those big families began to arrest them by force. Most of the people running in front of us have been arrested.”

Liu Qinghuan understood: "The way forward is not feasible and the way back is blocked. This is what you want to tell me."

He rubbed his brows in distress: "What should we do? Fellow Taoists, do you have any way to escape?"

The three of them exchanged glances again, and the female cultivator smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't introduced each other's names yet."

She cupped her hands and said, "Yuan Ya, a member of the outer sect of the Beast Taming Sect in the late stage of foundation building."

The reason for reporting their cultivation level was naturally because they, including Liu Qinghuan, had concealed their cultivation level.

The male cultivator in black clothes said: "Xu Shida, casual cultivator... uh, middle stage of foundation building."

The jade-faced male cultivator also cupped his hands and said: "Guo Xu, the foundation-building period is complete. Oh, I come from a noble family. I'm not afraid of making you laugh when I say it. My family has long since declined, and now there are only a few cultivators in the clan."

Liu Qinghuan thought of the information about the Yin Yue Blood Realm that he had read before. Another big difference between this world of immortality and Yunmengze is that the top forces in this world are extremely large and ancient families, who maintain their noble status through blood and family inheritance. status, and controls a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals. Next are the cultivating sects, and then the casual cultivators.

Liu Qinghuan replied: "Zhang Qingfeng's cultivation level is the same as that of fellow Daoist Xu. He is also a casual cultivator."

It was the first time he encountered a sect specializing in controlling beasts. His consciousness couldn't help but glance at the waist of a female cultivator named Yuan Ya, but he didn't see any spirit beast bag.

However, she is not the one with the highest cultivation among the three, but she is the leader, but I don’t know why.

After exchanging names, the distance between the two of them seemed to be getting closer. Liu Qinghuan took this opportunity to ask: "Did the three of you just meet in the past few days?"

Yuan Ya stood up and said: "Yes, so fellow Taoists have agreed to join? Together we can find a way out."

Liu Qinghuan nodded and agreed: "Of course."

It was too far away from the Great Mirage, so he felt that rather than rushing south with his head covered, it would be better to clarify the situation first. Otherwise, if you are caught and thrown into the war between the two realms before you have run far, you will be helping the enemy to beat your own people.

And by first following some low-level local monks, he can somewhat conceal his true identity and gain more information at the same time.

"Well, let's change the place and talk in detail." Yuan Ya said: "This place is on the only road from Lubai City to the Black Claw Mountains. Maybe a big force will pass by at some time, and that will be bad."

She walked to the door of the tea shop and poked her head out to check what was going on outside.

Xu Shida whispered to Liu Qinghuan: "The three of us have found a relatively safe place and will discuss our future actions in detail."

Liu Qinghuan naturally had no objection and just followed silently.

The four of them left the small village and wandered through the mountains for a long time before arriving at a low mountain.

Guo Xu took the lead, pushed aside the tangled grass, led everyone into a small natural hole, and then opened the concealment circle.

"Okay, this place is relatively remote and close to the Fufu waters. There are very few people who know how to walk from this way." Yuan Ya said, waving his sleeves to the ground, and there was a set of mahogany tables and chairs placed in the center of the cave: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please."

Liu Qinghuan thanked her and asked, "Can you tell me your plans now?"

Xu Shida was a little impatient and immediately replied: "We plan to walk from the Fufu waters, detour to Ningzhou, and then go to Guice City."

"Efu waters..." Liu Qinghuan repeated, thinking about the location of this route on the map.

But obviously the other three people got it wrong and thought he was hesitating.

Guo Xu took out a jade fan and shook it while saying: "Zhang Daoyou is a ghost cultivator. Are you still afraid of entering the evil waters? Maybe you can find the bones or souls of powerful monsters in it. That's okay." It’s a great addition.”

Liu Qinghuan said: "So, this is why you came to me."

Xu Shida laughed: "I have to admit that those annoying evil corpses are indeed very difficult to deal with."

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

Yuan Ya said: "It's okay. You just need to lead us to avoid those evil corpses."

With the cultivation of these people, they dare to enter the evil waters. No matter how dangerous it is, it is not that dangerous. He just nodded lightly but said nothing.

Yuan Ya continued: "And from here, you can go directly to Ningzhou through Suoyun Road. I heard that the Bu family of Guice City did not participate in the team attacking the alien world this time, and maintained its usual indifferent attitude. As long as we get there, Fellow Daoist Guo can take us into the city and be protected. As for other Xiuxian cities, such as Lubaicheng, it is probably difficult to avoid the fate of being forced to participate in the war."

"Suoyun Dao?" Xu Shida frowned for a long time, and waited patiently for her to finish speaking, then said dissatisfiedly: "You two never told me that you wanted to follow Suoyun Dao!"

Yuan Ya said unhurriedly: "Taking Suoyun Road is the shortest distance, otherwise we have to detour through two states, which will waste too much time."

"But that's Suoyun Dao!" Xu Shida emphasized. He looked at Liu Qinghuan and said, "Zhang Daoyou, our cultivation is about the same. What do you say?"

Liu Qinghuan sleeved her hands and said calmly: "I don't care."

Xu Shida looked uncertain, and Guo Xu said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, if you are worried about Gang Feng and Moon Shadow Beast in Suoyun Dao, you don't have to worry about it. Don't forget that Yuan Daoyou is from the Beast Taming Sect. Even if she is only an outer disciple, the Moon Shadow Beast is not here yet." What's going on?"

The latter sentence was asked to Yuan Ya, and the other party nodded and said: "Indeed. Maybe I don't have the ability to capture and control the moon shadow beasts, but I can still drive them away. The Beast Control Sect has a medicinal powder, The moon shadow beast hates its smell the most. As long as you sprinkle it on your body, they will not come close. I will give each of you a portion."

"Good." Guo Xu smiled.

Xu Shida's hesitation did not fade away, but he said nothing and just sat down silently.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what about you?" Yuan Ya asked, "Do you have any other ideas? Speak up and we will discuss it together."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure that Guice City is neutral?"

"Of course. Haven't you, fellow Taoist, heard about the omen given by the Divination family regarding this attack on another world?"

Liu Qinghuan was recalling the information about Guice City and the Divination family. He only knew that this seemed to be a very mysterious family that had made a living from divination for generations. He didn't know anything more, let alone any omens.

However, he looked slightly stunned: "You mean..."

Yuan Ya only nodded to him inexplicably, but did not intend to elaborate.

Guo Xu shook his head and said: "I suspect that is just an excuse from the Bu family. Every time they don't want to interfere with something, they just refer to the ancestral teachings or give random vague prophecies."

"Ignore him, as long as you know that Guice City is accessible." Yuan Ya said, taking out a map, and several people discussed the route in detail.

At dawn the next day, the four of them found their way out of the cave and headed southeast.

Three days later, the front suddenly opened up. At first glance, it looked like a flat grassland, with knee-high weeds spread out like a blanket, with many rivers in the middle.

However, this is just an illusion. All the weeds grow in the water, and a foot or two below is black, smelly, and man-eating mud. Further away, it looks like a dirty ink painting, with gray mist blocking the scenery further away.

Liu Qinghuan could feel the faint aura of death flowing everywhere, as well as the monster beasts lurking quietly in the water plants and mud.

Only then did he realize that Xu Shida seemed to be an alchemist and gave each person a crystal-white elixir: "This is to prevent the death energy from invading the body, but Fellow Daoist Zhang may not need it."

Having said that, he still handed one over.

Liu Qinghuan took it unceremoniously and smelled it, thinking that he might be able to get some pills from the Yin Moon Blood Realm from this person later.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, can you lead the way?" Yuan Ya stepped forward and asked.

She had released a majestic eagle with golden eyes, and was stroking its feathers very tenderly.

Liu Qinghuan took a few glances before entering the waters of Fufu first.

A gentle breeze came, bringing with it the rotten smell unique to the swamp, as well as some unexplainable pungent smell.
