This is the county town closest to the border between the two counties. After passing this county and walking for another 200 miles, you will reach the Sun and Moon Stone Forest.

Zhou Qing and his group passed Linyang County without entering it and went directly to Shilin.

Some people saw this rather luxurious carriage outside the county town, pointed at it, and wondered if it was the son of some wealthy family traveling.

This kind of thing has happened before, and everyone went to the Sun and Moon Stone Forest, so they were not very surprised.

When we got there, it was already dawn.

From afar, the stone forest is vast and boundless, with steep peaks and towering peaks. Gray is the main color and it is silent.

Zhou Qing and the other two walked in, while the coachman found a corner and waited outside.

Entering the stone forest, a cold wind blew in my face, bringing with it a sense of dryness.

Zhou Qing's mental power extended out unscrupulously, sensing the surrounding situation.

There are no powerful beasts here, so he can be a little more unrestrained.

Yun Yun walked in front to lead the way, Yun Duo was in the middle, and Zhou Qing was at the rear, encircling Yun Duo.

"After refining that treasure this time, I am one step closer to advancing to the Sun Travel Realm."

Yun Duo counted on his fingers and said, "And when I break through in the future, it will be able to protect my soul very well, so that I will be less harmed by the sun."

"Very good."

The little girl was very happy.

Since there is no one around and walls have no ears, there is no problem in saying something.

"Zhou Qing, I will catch up with you soon."

“Great, great.”

"Then I can catch more powerful beasts and do things that I couldn't do before."

“…”

You broke through the realm so that you can better study things like weasel qi and corpse-expelling qi, right?

horrible.

Zhou Qing didn't dare to imagine how terrifying it would be if Yun Duo studied those things when his cultivation reached a very high level in the future.

"roar!"

At this time, a beast roar sounded, and a wild beast with a rather strange appearance appeared in the sight of the three people.

It has a pointed beak, and its barely visible teeth gleam with a steel-like luster. It has extremely short limbs, a strong body, a large abdomen, thick hair all over its body, and a short, knotted tail on its back.

"Is this the stone-eating beast?"

Zhou Qing was slightly interested, so he used his mental power to wrap it up and brought it over.

His spiritual power had already discovered the figure of this wild beast, but because of curiosity, he did not avoid it.

Because it is only the realm of flesh and blood.

Under Zhou Qing's powerful mental power, the stone-swallowing beast had no ability to resist and was bound in the air, unable to make even a sound.

"A wild beast that lives by eating stones is quite interesting." Yun Duo also came over and looked at the stone-eating beast with shining eyes.

"I wonder what the stomach of this savage beast looks like."

It is not surprising that mid- and high-level beasts eat anything, but this stone-swallowing beast was able to survive by swallowing stones when it was born, before it entered the flesh and skin realm. It is quite special.

The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.

Zhou Qing patted the stone-swallowing beast's head and said, "I will call you Jakuma from now on."

"Why is it called that?"

“This name just came to my mind.”

After using his mental power to investigate the beast, Zhou Qing threw it far away, and the stone-swallowing beast ran away with a grunt.

It also wanted to turn around and eat the three humans who were playing with it, but its survival instinct told it to run away quickly.

All the way deeper into the Sun and Moon Stone Forest, they encountered more powerful stone-swallowing beasts, but compared with Zhou Qing and his friends, they were still noobs.

Zhou Qing also discovered that those cultivators who came to the stone forest to hunt animals and search for treasures were basically all at the skin and flesh realm, and there were very few at the tendons and veins realm.

The Sun and Moon Stone Forest is a relatively open area, and no strong people would come here.

Zhou Qing also discovered that apart from the Stone-Swallowing Beast, there were very few other wild beasts here. He only saw three or two after walking along the way.

"We're here. This is it."

Yun Yun suddenly spoke. In front of the three of them was a dark cave, the depth of which could not be seen, like a huge mouth.

Above the cave is a stone peak that reaches the sky, which is extremely high.

“My father said that this place is actually located on the boundary between the two counties, in the middle of the stone forest.” Yun Yun pointed with her hand.

"This cave is half in Tianyue and half in Tianyang."

"Go in and take a look."

Zhou Qing walked into the cave first. Although it was dark here, it did not affect his vision at all.

After walking for a while, there was a sudden shrill sound, and a ghost rushed directly towards Zhou Qing.

With a wave of his hand, white light splashed and the evil ghost was immediately transformed, leaving only a small grain of pure soul energy to be absorbed by Zhou Qing.

"There really is a ghost."

It's a pity that it's just a little ghost and can be killed with just one finger.

While going deeper into the cave, Zhou Qing and his team also discovered other forks in the road, leading to all directions.

It seems that the statement that the caves in the Sun and Moon Stone Forest are actually interconnected is not necessarily untrue.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the extremely dark cave.

The three of them walked over quickly and a small puddle appeared in front of them.

The water in the pit is earthy yellow, but it does not make people feel dirty. Instead, it has a sense of cleanliness and clarity.

There is a small bulge in the middle of the puddle, with a stone bead placed on it. Most of the bead is khaki, except for an area the size of a thin line, which is grayish white.

Looking up, there is a stone cave the size of a human head, leading directly to the top of the peak. The sunlight shines down from above and falls directly on the puddle.

It can be imagined that in the past, as day and night alternated, sunlight and moonlight took turns falling here, bringing something different to this place.

Yun Duo squatted by the puddle, looking at the stone beads, her eyes full of joy.

"Stone of the mountain."

The mountain stones gather the power of the mountains and rivers, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and give birth to a soul treasure.

After refining this stone, there will be a force of Houde Mountain in the soul. When the cultivator is promoted to the Sun Travel Realm, this force will come into play, absorbing and neutralizing all the forces in the sunlight that may cause harm to the cultivator, and finally dissipating them into nothingness.

Only the power of the sun is left for the cultivator to absorb and irradiate the soul.

In this way, the danger of the cultivator's promotion during the day tour is greatly reduced, and he can break through the realm smoothly.

However, this Houde Mountain force disappeared after being used three or five times.

At the same time, in the process of refining this substance, one can also obtain a soul power to improve one's soul cultivation.

This thing is of no use to Zhou Qing. Sunlight is just Zhou Qing's nutrient now. No matter how much Zhou Qing absorbs it, it can't hurt him at all.

The soul power contained in it can be used to improve cultivation, which is a considerable power for Yun Duo.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

But for Zhou Qing, who was at the Sun Travel Realm and had a profound foundation, that soul power was very weak.

This item is most suitable for Yun Duo. However, with it, it is almost impossible for Yun Duo to have any accidents in her future promotion to the daily tour.

Zhou Qing said: "But it seems that this mountain-bearing stone has not yet been fully nurtured."

The flawless mountain-supporting stone is khaki in color overall, but the one in front of you has a hint of gray.

This is what Yun Yuannan told him. He had never known about this kind of treasure before.

Yun Yun observed for a while and said, "It will soon be conceived successfully. It will probably only take a few hours."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Then wait a while."

This was within expectations. The Yun family estimated that the treasure would be successfully conceived in the next few days. It was normal if it came a little early or a little late.

"There is quite a lot of Shanli Liquid. After the two of us use it, there is still a lot left." Yun Yun said with satisfaction.

Mountain Power Liquid is the liquid near the mountain-supporting stone. It is also a treasure useful for martial arts practice. It can also be used in the internal organs realm, and the effect is not small.

After refining this liquid, the body can become as strong as rock, and every punch and kick will be as powerful as a collapsing mountain.

This sounds like bragging.

But it can definitely strengthen the body and increase strength, and Zhou Qing also has a share of it.

However, before the Chengshan Stone matures, these mountain power liquids cannot be moved, otherwise it will affect the effect of the Chengshan Stone.

The space of this puddle is not small, and it can easily accommodate more than a dozen people.

However, after Zhou Qing and the other two stayed here for a while, they discovered that this place was extremely easy to be found by evil spirits. In just a quarter of an hour, Zhou Qing converted nearly ten evil spirits.

"Dad is right. This treasure is indeed very attractive to these evil spirits."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "They are just a few little ghosts. They can't pose any threat."

This is what Yun Yuannan had told them in advance. Ghosts would also be attracted to such natural treasures.

Be careful and alert when they take the treasure.

While Zhou Qing and the other two were waiting, someone passed by outside the cave.

Different from those warriors in the flesh and tendons realm, there were four people passing by this time, three of whom were actually warriors in the internal organs realm, and the other one was also a cultivator.

They were all wearing the same uniform with a purple flame embroidered on their chests.

The man with a scar on his neck said to the monk, "Brother Xuan, how many more stone-swallowing beast stomachs are missing?"

Senior Brother Xuan replied, "I have killed twenty-six stone-swallowing beasts and collected nineteen stomach bags. I still need thirty stomach bags."

"I don't know what the sect wants this stone-swallowing beast's stomach for. It doesn't seem to be of any use." The scarred man complained:

"We have been searching here for three days and have only found twenty-six stone-swallowing beasts. I don't know how much more time we will have to waste to complete the mission."

"We just need to follow the elder's instructions. There's no need to ask so many questions."

Senior Brother Xuan shook his head, "Also, among the forty-nine stomachs, three must be from the stone-swallowing beast kings at the viscera level."

"I know, but this beast king is hard to find. There are only a few of them in the entire Sun and Moon Stone Forest. It will take some time to find it."

A man with very small eyes glanced at the cave that Zhou Qing and his companions entered and said, "I wonder if there are any stone-eating beasts in these caves."

Senior Brother Xuan denied his guess, "There are many evil spirits in the caves. Stone-eating beasts hate evil spirits the most and will not live in them."

"Too."

The four of them walked through the cave while talking, but did not go in.

After a short while, the four of them suddenly ran away quickly, their target being a stone-eating beast in the distance.

Time passed, Zhou Qing and his team waited for four hours, and the mountain-supporting stone was finally completed.

The grayish-white color on the stone disappeared under the gaze of the three people.

The Chengshan Stone glowed slightly, and a stream of energy spread out, making people feel at peace and tranquil.

Zhou Qing and the other two smiled and said, "It's done."

Yun Duo stretched out his hand and prepared to take the mountain-supporting stone.

"call!"

A whistling sound suddenly sounded in the cave, and the evil energy was approaching here quickly. Zhou Qing's mental power surged out and directly killed the approaching object.

It's another evil ghost.

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly. In his perception, there were evil spirits howling and madly violent from all directions.

They were all attracted by the completed Chengshan Stone and wanted to seize this treasure.

And if one wants to perfectly refine the Chengshi, one must stay here.

Therefore, someone is needed to protect Yun Duo and keep her from harm while she is refining treasures.

This is what Zhou Qing needs to do. Otherwise, if there is nothing that needs to be done on this trip and it can be completed smoothly, then there is no need for Yun Yuannan to entrust him.

"Yun Duo, you refine the Chengshan Stone first. Yun Yun, you collect the Shanli Liquid and leave the rest to me."

Zhou Qing was very calm. What ghosts and monsters? It was just a matter of a few words.
