Chapter 271 Qingshan Still Remains
Where is this? After Chu Ning woke up, he looked forward, and the next moment his pupils shrank sharply.
What appeared in front of him was a cliff as smooth as a knife, towering into the clouds.
There is a line of words on the cliff.
"Spiritual Medicine Mountain, the 32588th mountain of the Mountain Sect."
The mountain of the Shan Zong senior? Seeing this line of numbers, Chu Ning's face was filled with joy. Over the years, this was the second mountain of the Shan Zong senior he had encountered.
The first mountain is Wenjin Mountain, and the ranking of Wenjin Mountain is 87865, and the ranking of this mountain is 32588.
"That is to say, this Lingyao Mountain should have joined the Mountain Sect earlier than the senior Wen Jinshan."
Chu Ning guessed in his mind, but at the same time he was also a little confused.
According to the master, this is a secret realm created by a senior in Danyu. The senior in Danyu is naturally not from Shanzong, so why is there a mountain of Shanzong in this secret realm? Also, why did I suddenly appear here? Regarding entering the secret realm of concentration, my master also said that everyone will be randomly teleported to the outer area of the secret realm, and there will be no coma.
The special situation that happened to me should be related to this magical medicine mountain.
"Senior Shan Zong?"
Chu Ning tried calling out, and an old voice responded.
"Don't call me that, Shanzi."
An old man with white hair and a long beard slowly walked out from the cliff. His beard was so long that it reached his knees.
Shanzi?
Hearing the old man's address to him, Chu Ning thought of the tree demon senior, who also called him Shanzi back then.
It seems that the old man in front of me is also a tree spirit.
Chu Ning could feel the rich spiritual energy emanating from the old man. Considering his identity as a plant spirit, he thought that the old man was probably a spiritual medicine, and a high-level one at that.
In the library of Xinhuo Hall, Chu Ning read the introduction about plant spirits.
It takes much longer for plants to become spirits and develop intelligence than monsters, and it's even slower for spiritual medicines to become spirits than ordinary plants.
Spiritual medicines are a special group among plants. Because their lifespans far exceed those of ordinary plants, it is much more difficult for them to give birth to intelligence and transform into human form than ordinary plants.
For example, those sixth- and seventh-level spiritual medicines take a thousand years to mature, but a thousand years to mature does not mean that they will give birth to spiritual intelligence. Unless they mature three times in a row and are not picked by anyone during this period, then there is a chance for them to give birth to spiritual intelligence.
Any elixir that can give rise to spiritual intelligence is an absolute tonic.
This was the introduction in the jade slip, but Chu Ning didn’t dare to have any thoughts when facing this old man.
The old man gave him the impression that he was at least at the Spirit Transformation stage.
"Senior, you asked me to come here?"
"Shanzi, you are joking. How could I be so capable? Lingyaoshan sensed Shanzi's identity and teleported him here."
The old man shook his head and then said, "Shanzi, I am curious, why is the Spiritual Medicine Mountain in this secret place?"
"Well, I hope the senior can help me solve this problem."
"The Spiritual Medicine Mountain appears here because of the agreement between the mountain master and the creator of the secret realm."
The old man had a proud look on his face: "There is no mountain without grass and trees. The creator of this secret realm needs the help of the mountain master to make the spiritual medicine in the secret realm continue to reproduce."
After hearing what the old man said, Chu Ning understood a little. Fortunately, he had just reached the ninth thousand feet of Tangshan Mountain and knew about the existence of Shanzhifu.
This is a secret realm. It is impossible for the Danyu senior who created the secret realm to plant all mature spiritual medicines at once. There must be some spiritual medicine seeds and seedlings.
For the secret realm to last for so many years, it must have its own recyclable system.
When spiritual herbs mature, they will leave seeds, and after a long period of time, the seeds will mature again. In this way, even if newcomers who come into the Dan domain pick spiritual herbs every time, these seeds will germinate and mature after a thousand years.
It opens once every thousand years to give the spiritual medicine time to grow.
But in the spiritual medicine garden of Danshan Sect, even though there are disciples taking care of it, some spiritual herbs will still wither. If no one takes care of this secret realm, the chance of the spiritual herbs withering will only be greater.
It's okay in the short term, but over time, the elixirs in the secret realm will eventually disappear, and at most only some pills and pill recipes will be left.
As for how to solve the problem of the depletion of spiritual medicine, no one is better than the disciples of the Mountain Sect. As long as there is the blessing of the mountain to supply these spiritual medicines, the spiritual medicines will not wither.
Chu Ning could guess the cooperation between the senior from Shanzong and the senior from Danyu. The senior from Danyu used the blessing of Lingyao Mountain to ensure that the spiritual medicine could grow and reproduce continuously.
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, I now understand."
"I have received the kindness of the mountain master of Lingyao Mountain. Shanzi and the mountain master are from the same source. It is my duty to help Shanzi solve his doubts."
The old man was very polite, and then he said, "Shanzi has come to Lingyao Mountain. The disciples in the mountain are extremely excited. We have specially prepared a banquet to entertain you. I hope Shanzi will not despise it."
"Can!"
Chu Ning would never refuse something like a banquet.
Following the old man Chu Ning, they left the cliff, crossed several hills, and finally appeared on the flat ground on a hill.
As he stepped onto the flat ground, Chu Ning smelled a strong aroma of wine, which was intoxicating.
The aroma of wine emanates from a huge rock placed on the flat ground.
There was a pit in the boulder, with crystal wine flowing inside. At this moment, there were a few palm-sized little men with transparent wings stirring the wine with wooden sticks.
Flower fairies! Chu Ning recognized the identities of these small figures, flower fairies.
However, judging from their size, these flower elves only seem to have some intelligence, and their strength is not even as good as that of the initial stage of Qi Condensation.
Then, a giant bird fell from the sky and landed on a huge rock. The whistling wind it brought caused several flower elves to fall all over the place. One of the flower elves was accidentally blown into the wine by the strong wind and struggled to flap its wings to climb up.
Seeing this, Chu Ning flicked his fingers, and the flower elf floated up from the wine and landed on the palm of Chu Ning's hand. The next moment, it flapped its wings and flew away in panic.
Looking at the trace of wine dropped by the flower elf in his palm when it flapped its wings, Chu Ning smiled and sat down on a tree stump at the invitation of the old man.
In front of the tree stump, there was a wooden table. Various monsters brought wild fruits from the mountains, filling up most of the table.
A quarter of an hour later, more and more monsters appeared. These monsters were not treated as well as Chu Ning, so they just sat on the ground.
The old man clapped his hands, and a group of girls in green clothes walked out of the forest, singing and dancing on the flat ground.
The dances are graceful and each has its own merits.
During this time, these flower elves held up their glasses and scooped up cups of wine from the liquid, shuttling in front of Chu Ning and the many monsters sitting on the ground.
Chu Ning looked at the singing and dancing monsters, and suddenly had an idea that this was the true way to cultivate immortality.
Suddenly!
There was the fragrance of osmanthus in the air. Chu Ning lowered his head and looked at the flower elves that were coming with wine glasses. One of them blinked at him. It was the little guy who had fallen into the wine earlier.
"Shanzi, this mountain wine is brewed by flower elves. Flower elves are born winemakers. This wine is brewed from hundreds of spiritual herbs."
The old man raised his glass to Chu Ning, who picked up the glass and drank it all.
The other spirits sitting on the ground also raised their glasses.
As the wine goes down the throat, a rich aroma flows through the stomach. The next moment, several hot currents flow toward the limbs and bones, and wherever they flow, the whole body feels warm and comfortable.
Finally, these heat currents gathered in the Dantian. The little man in the Dantian pursed his lips and sucked all the heat currents into his mouth, with a happy look on his little face.
"Nectar, nothing more than that."
Chu Ning sighed, and the old man smiled and replied, "We can only hold such a grand event once every thousand years. This time it is thanks to Shanzi."
"It's an honor for the junior generation."
…
In the next few days, Chu Ning stayed in this mountain range, keeping company with the monsters and enjoying the delicious mountain food.
One day.
Chu Ning was lying on the grass, enjoying the facial massage from the flower elf, when an old man appeared.
"Shanzi, I have something to ask of you."
"Please speak, senior."
Chu Ning was not too surprised. The other party treated him so warmly, probably not just because he was a disciple of Shan Sect.
"I would like to ask Shanzi to go to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Palace and ask the mountain spirit how long it will take for me to break through."
"Spiritual Medicine Mountain Hall?"
"When the mountain master left, he left behind the mountain palace. The mountain spirit lived in the mountain palace. However, we are not allowed to enter without the call of the mountain spirit."
The old man looked sincere, and Chu Ning nodded: "In that case, I will go there."
"Thank you, Shanzi. If this is successful, I will reward you handsomely."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chu Ning followed the old man into the depths of the mountains. Lingyao Mountain was not a single peak, but had developed into a mountain range.
Half an hour later, Chu Ning looked at a low mountain in front of him that was only a thousand feet high and was surrounded and guarded by many other mountains. There was a palace on the top of the mountain.
"Shanzi, we can't go any further."
The old man did not move forward but stopped. Chu Ning nodded and walked towards the mountain hall alone.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Chu Ning felt the activity of the green mountain in his dantian.
"Chu Ning, a disciple of Shan Sect, is here to visit." Chu Ning shouted loudly at the entrance of the hall.
"Shanzi, please come in."
A voice was heard from inside the palace, the palace gate slowly opened, and Chu Ning strode in.
As he stepped into the hall, Chu Ning's expression changed, and his figure instantly turned into rainbow light and headed out of the hall.
"Don't be afraid, Shanzi. In order to escape briefly, I have to borrow Shanzi's mountain energy."
Unfortunately, the door of the hall was closed.
Chu Ning's face was cold, his eyes fixed on an oil lamp in the center of the hall. The lamp was flickering, the flame was weak, and it seemed that it would go out at any moment.
But the next moment, the flame suddenly returned to normal.
A wisp of flame floated out from the oil lamp and transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man.
The man appeared and bowed respectfully to Chu Ning: "Spiritual Medicine Mountain Spirit greets Shanzi."
This oil lamp is the mountain spirit of Lingyao Mountain.
Chu Ning did not respond. The moment he stepped into the hall, he felt the energy in his body being suddenly drained away. He immediately prepared to leave, but he did not expect that the door of the hall would be closed first.
"I know Shanzi has doubts in his heart. After reading the jade slip left by the mountain master, Shanzi will understand."
The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a ray of light floated towards Chu Ning. Chu Ning was silent for a few breaths, and finally reached out to take it.
This was a jade slip, but it fell into his palm and sank silently. At the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
…
Above a vast sea of clouds, there are mountain peaks standing.
One figure stood on the top of the mountain, and another figure stood above the sea of clouds.
"Do you have to go, fellow Daoist?" the figure in the sea of clouds asked softly.
"This is the responsibility of our mountain sect, and we have to go." The figure on the mountain peak responded with a smile.
"What if you never come back?"
“The green mountains remain.”
…
After a long silence, the figure above the sea of clouds finally spoke first.
"The Shan Sect's move is not recognized, and the method proposed by the current sect is more accepted by everyone. Why do you insist on it?"
"Now there are rumors that you are doing this for the sake of Shanzong itself, rather than for the people of the world. If you insist on doing it, I'm afraid these rumors will become true."
The man on the mountaintop smiled slightly: "Daoyou, there is no need to dissuade me. I just want to see you for a pill."
"What is friendship?"
"Spiritual Medicine Mountain."
The man above the sea of clouds narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay."
The deal is done.
The man on the top of the mountain took the pill and disappeared from the top of the mountain, while the man on the sea of clouds sighed lightly.
…
After a long time, the picture changed again.
This time, three figures appeared around Lingyao Mountain.
One of the figures made seals with his hands, and thunder fell from the sky and landed on the Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
At the same time, a long sword fell from the sky, directly cutting off half of the height of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
“That’s enough!”
The man who was above the sea of clouds appeared, looked at the three figures, and said, "This is the Dan Region, you can't be so presumptuous."
"If you take any more action, I will ensure that the three of you will not be able to leave the Dan Territory!"
The three figures looked at the man coldly. The two sides were in a stalemate. The man said again: "Spiritual Medicine Mountain has belonged to our Dan Domain and has nothing to do with the Mountain Sect anymore."
After hearing this, the three of them looked at the man deeply before leaving.
Looking at the Spiritual Medicine Mountain which was mostly destroyed, the man formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual energy around the entire mountain began to fluctuate. In the end, the mountain and the surrounding land for tens of thousands of miles were sealed in the formation by the man.
"From now on, this place will be a secret place for meditation. It is a secret place for the training of newcomers in our Dan Domain."
As the man finished speaking, a pair of eyes slowly disappeared in the depths of the sky.
The scene ends here.
Chu Ning looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Shan Zong's enemy?"
Although he was curious about what the senior from the Lingyao Mountain Sect had done when he left, given his personality, he wanted to know who the enemy was more.
At the beginning, he asked Senior Jinshan to not reveal his identity as a disciple of Shanzong, but he didn't find any enemies appearing over the years, so he relaxed his guard a little.
But the scene he saw this time told him that Shanzong’s enemies were still there. The reason why he had not encountered them was because the enemies were too strong to be able to deal with at his current level.
"The Mountain Sect has no enemies."
The middle-aged man shook his head. Chu Ning's mouth twitched. He was lying with open eyes.
As if he knew what Chu Ning was thinking, the man added: "These are the original words of the mountain master."
