Until Zhou Qing walked out of Black Mountain and returned to Black Cloud Town, the treasure chest he sensed never appeared.

So it's obvious.

The treasure chest was moved to another place.

Very good, I like your unruly refresh mechanism.

If you have the ability, please take me to the barbarian steppe in the north.

Zhou Qing sensed the location of the treasure chest and found that it was still not in the direction of Yunlong City.

He shook his head. This golden finger was too random.

It would be fine if the refresh range was limited. If there were no restrictions and the refresh was really all over the place, he would have to travel all over the place this month.

In the past few days, treasure chests have been appearing in the Black Cloud Territory, perhaps to give Zhou Qing some time to adapt and become familiar with the ability of this golden finger.

This is the novice protection period.

Now that Zhou Qing has figured out some of the rules and mechanisms, the novice protection period may be over.

However, this is just Zhou Qing's guess. He is not sure whether the novice protection period really exists.

But no matter what, judging from the current situation, the scope of treasure chest refresh will definitely gradually expand, and he should have a way to run away.

Yes, such a magical golden finger cannot just stay in this area.

There aren't that many places in the Black Cloud Territory where treasure chests keep appearing.

Perhaps as time goes by, the range of treasure chest refreshes will become larger, and the size of this range may also be related to his cultivation level.

The ability of the golden finger is linked to his level of cultivation, which is a common thing. The previous golden fingers are basically related.

Although he occasionally had rebellious thoughts in his mind and wanted the treasure chest to be moved to the prairie, such a thing should not be possible with his current level of cultivation.

Tianyue County, Tianzhou, Daqi...

We must take it step by step.

When the fixed refresh occurred in Black Cloud Town, Zhou Qing thought about appearing somewhere else.

But if he really went somewhere else, Zhou Qing thought it would be better to stay in Black Cloud Town...

People are just pretentious.

This time, Zhou Qing did not go directly to find the treasure chest, but returned to the martial arts hall to practice quietly.

Although he went to Black Mountain before, he did not stop practicing in the mountains and still completed the basic martial arts lessons.

In the evening, Zhou Qing and Lu Qingmo talked about this matter.

"Aunt Mo, I might be away from Black Cloud Town for a few days."

"Leave?" Lu Qingmo asked:

"Where are you going?"

"Walk around Black Cloud Town and you'll be back in two or three days."

It may take two or three days at the slowest, or it may be fast.

He's just a ruthless treasure chest opening machine.

"That's it..." Lu Qingmo nodded slightly and said:

"That's perfect. You can go to the counties surrounding Black Cloud and take a look."

"Is there something wrong?"

"It's still the same thing." Lu Qingmo said:

"There are too many outsiders. The counties of Tianyue are in chaos. Cases are happening one after another, and traces of evil cultivators and demons are appearing again and again."

"Hmm?" Zhou Qing asked in confusion:

"Has this matter not been resolved yet? I remember that several months ago, Tianyue City sent people to various counties to support the local government, right?"

When Black Mountain was opened, people from several surrounding counties heard the news and flocked to Tianyue County, and a large number of outsiders entered the country.

Some people came to Heiyun Town, but given the current situation in Heiyun Town, there was no major disturbance and stability could be maintained.

However, after entering Tianyue County, more people dispersed to various counties in Tianyue.

With more people from other places, various problems naturally arise.

This incident happened a long time ago. Lu Qingmo and Zhou Qing mentioned it more than once. The last time an evil cultivator attempted to kill people on a large scale, Zhou Qing chased him for thousands of miles and captured him. That case was a microcosm of the Tianyue counties in the past few months.

However, these matters are generally handled by Tianyue City.

The greatest contribution of the government in Heiyun Town is to maintain stability here.

Now it has been a month since the mountain god's test, and Zhou Qing originally thought that the situation in the counties had improved.

But I didn't expect to hear this from Lu Qingmo again today, and it's not over yet.

"Tianyue City has provided support more than once." Lu Qingmo's expression was a little solemn.

"But the problems in Tianyue County have not improved, but have become more serious. People from surrounding counties have been pouring into Tianyue County."

"The most important thing is that there are many evil cultivators taking advantage of the situation and creating chaos, making things even more difficult to resolve. We don't know where those evil cultivators came from, and we can't eradicate them."

"After the Qinghua tragedy last time, similar incidents occurred in various counties, but not so many people died at once, but dozens of lives were lost at any one time."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, "What do those evil cultivators want to do? Is there any conspiracy?"

"Not sure." Lu Qingmo shook his head and said, "But evil cultivators have always been attracted to chaotic situations. Wherever there is unrest, evil cultivators will usually appear. This has happened more than once or twice."

Zhou Qing cursed inwardly, these evil cultivators were really a bunch of troublemakers.

"Now the county government, the Ghost and God Department, and the Dingwu Department have called on all the forces in the county to temporarily unite, and each of them will send experts to reinforce the counties."

Lu Qingmo went on to say, "Under the joint action of all the forces, each county will have a cultivator at the Day Travel Bone Refining Realm stationed there, and there will also be masters at the Manifestation of Sainthood Washing Marrow Realm who are specifically responsible for certain counties and patrol the four directions to deal with emergencies."

Heiyun Town has now barely calmed down, but this does not mean that the entire Tianyue County has also calmed down.

It’s just that Zhou Qing was busy with practical things before and didn’t know about this information.

After hearing what Lu Qingmo said, Zhou Qing was a little surprised.

"Such a powerful reinforcement force is actually unable to solve the chaos in Tianyue counties?"

Every county has daily tours to refine bones and holy figures to cleanse marrow and sit in all directions. This standard is already very high.

But it still doesn't solve the root of the problem...

No, how strong are the practitioners pouring in from the surrounding counties?

Are they sure they were attracted by the news of the opening of Black Mountain, rather than coming to attack Tianyue County? "The evil cultivators are too troublesome." Lu Qingmo sighed.

"In the past, the cultivators and masters of the Tianmu Sect who were active in Tianyue County were Master Xuehun and his group, plus several other marrow cleansing warriors."

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

"But now all kinds of monsters and demons have emerged. Those evil masters who were active in the surrounding counties have also shown their presence in Tianyue County, not just the Tianmu Sect."

"Some evil cultivators secretly deceive people and lead ordinary people onto the evil path. Other evil cultivators are like crazy and will commit murder even at the cost of their own lives."

"To say the situation in the counties is chaotic is a mild statement. It is basically rotten."

Zhou Qing was silent, then said: "Damn evil cultivator, he really wants the world to be in chaos."

"You have to jump out and stir up trouble."

Zhou Qing paused, then continued, "Have there been any traces of evil cultivators in Black Cloud Town?"

"Yes, but very few, and they are basically just some independent people, not disciples of any evil sect, unlike in the counties."

Lu Qingmo said: "The evil cultivators who appeared in Black Cloud Town are all mediocre people who are hoping for the best."

Zhou Qing was a little confused when he heard this. "Tianmu Sect had set up a plan in Qinghua County ten years ago to monitor the situation in Heiyun Town. It can be seen that they have ideas about the mountain god."

"But why don't you show up in front of the real boss now, but instead cause trouble somewhere else?"

It has been ten years. The Tianmu Sect has been trying to find out the news about Heiyun Town for ten years, but now they are far away from here.

Whatever conspiracy they have against Black Mountain, they should take action, right? Now there is no movement in the Black Cloud Territory.

This is really confusing.

Could it be that the Tianmu Cult was planning to wait for the mountain god to fall and then launch a direct attack? This was too... courting death.

Lu Qingmo shook his head. “No one else can know what the people of Tianmu Cult think.”

If anyone knows this, he would not be a follower of Tianmu religion.

"I'll go out and take a look first." Zhou Qing said, "It's just a problem that all the forces in Tianyue can't solve together. Adding me shouldn't make any difference."

Dozens of counties, such a large area, even if Zhou Qing had wings and could fly now, his strength alone would be just a drop in the bucket in the face of such a corrupt situation.

None of the Saints in the Marrow Cleansing Realm could quell the disaster, and he alone...

I can only say that I will try my best to contribute my own strength, but I can't guarantee more about other things.

This is not a fight on the battlefield, nor a competition in the ring. As long as one person acts as a hero and wins once, the outcome can be decided.

Now, despicable and sinister evil practitioners are wreaking havoc in various counties in an organized and premeditated manner, and a large number of manpower is needed.

A person who is only at the Bone Refining Stage for a day cannot be a savior.

Lu Qingmo also understood this, and she said, "We can do as much as we can. I heard that Tianyue City has already requested support from the surrounding counties."

"And the situation has long been reported to Zhongtian City. After all, this is the territory of Da Qi. It is impossible for the evil cultivators to continue to do evil like this."

Zhou Qing nodded, then took out some items he didn't recognize from the treasure chests he opened in Black Mountain and asked Lu Qingmo to help identify them.

Because he had been to Black Mountain, he could now take out the treasure openly, unlike last time.

Even without him saying anything, Lu Qingmo would think that this was the opportunity he got from going into the mountains this time.

This perception is not wrong.

"Is this... a thought incense?"

Lu Qingmo noticed the milky white incense crystal of thoughts at the first moment, and she was a little surprised.

"It's a very pure thought incense. It's even purer than some of the thought incense that I've seen that have been purified by gods. It's also of Yin God quality."

"I didn't even sense any mixed thoughts in it. This treasure can be called the essence of incense. Although it is not suitable for self-cultivation, it is extremely valuable."

Lu Qingmo said: “For a Yin God, this is a valuable treasure that can be used to directly improve strength.”

If the True Dragon Dragon Balls are a special attack against water creatures, then the Incense Essence is a special attack against gods.

"You can keep it and add it in when you refine pills and tools of sufficient grade in the future. It will be of great use."

"But remember, you can't use it yourself."

Lu Qingmo looked at Zhou Qing and asked:

“There are actually things like this in Black Mountain?”

Zhou Qing remained calm and said seriously:

"Yeah, I got it in one place."

Lu Qingmo found it a little unbelievable. Black Mountain was the domain of a god, and all thoughts and incense should be related to the mountain god.

Could it be that this was specially given to Zhou Qing by the mountain god? Seeing Lu Qingmo's expression change, Zhou Qing remained calm.

Anyway, this is how things are, I don’t know anything else.
