Chapter 126: Giant Head Figure
The severely wind-eroded stone tablet stands among the lush ancient trees on the other side of the river. Most of the tablet was dug out and was previously buried underground.
The four blurred words "Thirty-three Li" on the stele were not from this world. They were deciphered by a spiritual master who lived for over a hundred years.
Li Weiyi wore a black nightgown on the outside, an iron cloth battle suit and a talisman robe in the middle, and a corpse-like soft armor on the inside. With four layers of defense on his body, his original figure was completely covered up, making him look quite bloated.
He used the Disguise Technique to change his facial muscles, lowered his head slightly, and walked through the sight of a group of top young masters of the Southern Territory, fearing that he would be recognized by Yang Qingxi, Shi Shishi and others who had seen him before.
The Silver Horned Deer carriage stopped by the river, with curtains hanging on both sides. Yang Qingxi sat inside and said with a smile, "Only five Five Sea Realm warriors were sent into the mountain. It seems that the Zuoqiu Sect's goal this time is very clear, and it is only for the Immortal Land."
Zuo Qiu stopped fanning himself and said, "We came in a hurry and didn't bring enough people."
"As long as Master Zuoqiu opens his mouth, Suizong will certainly come to his aid. Why bother to borrow people from Jiuli tribe?" Yang Qingxi said.
Zuo Qiuting said in a teasing tone: "Is it too late to borrow it from Miss Qingxi now?"
Yang Qingxi smiled charmingly and did not answer.
The four-armed Heartless Golden Ape showed no flattery or respect to Zuo Qiuting, and said, "Immortal soil is a good thing! Even the spiritual soil near the immortal soil can increase the growth rate of medicinal materials tenfold. But it is not so easy to dig it up. In the past few days, hundreds of demon cultivators from Yongquan Realm in Tianya Ridge have died, and we have only dug up half a pound of immortal soil and a hundred pounds of spiritual soil."
"I heard that immortal soil is the main ingredient of the elixir of immortality. Master Zuoqiu is the heir of a wealthy family, so he should know some inside information, right?" Yang Qingxi asked.
Shi Shishi’s ears perked up.
The elixir of immortality, the legendary treasure of the highest rank in the world, only ten of them appear every sixty years. Even if one just wants to smell it, it can make those powerful and majestic leaders beat their brains out.
Zuo Qiuting looked at Yang Qingxi, understood what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "With the unparalleled talent of the modest gentleman Yao Qian, he has a great chance of entering the realm of immortality without the elixir of immortality."
…
After crossing the river, Li Weiyi and Shang Zhi walked at the end of the five-person team.
Shang Zhi did not bring the anaconda with the strength of the Five Seas Realm. He was in an excited state and full of expectations for this trip: "Brother Sima, you don't have to be so nervous. Even many martial artists in the Yongquan Realm can return safely and gain a lot. We are masters of the Five Seas Realm. We can't be worse than them, right?"
Li Weiyi observed the teams from various forces entering the mountain: "Before today, there have been no large numbers of Five Sea Realm martial artists entering the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain. Man-made disasters are often more dangerous."
Shang Zhi nodded: "We must indeed be wary of the people from the four major sects."
"The leader of the Sui clan is Xue Qi, who is just 20 years old this year. He is at the second level of the Five Seas Realm and the most talented person among the younger generation of the Xue family. He is quite amazing. He once fought dozens of rounds with an old master at the third level of the Five Seas Realm. I witnessed that battle in Yaoguan City with my own eyes. It was difficult for that old master to defeat him without using his incarnation tactics and thoughts."
Li Weiyi couldn't help but take a second look at this person who was able to fight across borders.
Xue Qi rode on a bull-beast of Yongquan level, his body wrapped in the skin of a dead soul, holding a white Yin flag in his hand, and a magic sword hanging from his waist. He had the demeanor of a leader, leading a large number of troops and rushing into the mist of the mountains and forests.
Sui Zong is a local force that can summon a large number of Yongquan realm warriors in a short period of time.
As a Nine Springs Supreme, Shang Zhi has high standards: "The leaders of Tianyi Sect and Guanhai Pavilion are both mediocre in strength. However, Chen Song of Sanchen Palace is said to be one of the three Nine Springs Supremes of the younger generation of the Chen clan. After swallowing the Ranxia strange medicine, he broke through the second Qi Sea and entered the second level of the Five Seas Realm."
With the continuous emergence of exotic medicines in Zangxian Town over the past six months, the number of Nine Springs Supremes and pure immortal bodies in various major forces has increased significantly, and the gold content has declined.
Chen Song had opened up his ancestral land before this. He was also wrapped in the skin of a dead soul, and the face of the skin was an old man with messy hair and very sharp eyes.
Zuoqiu Baiming, who was riding a strong horse and walking in the front, holding a green Yin Banner that had shrunk to only two meters long, heard the conversation between the two people behind him and said, "You are now working for the Zuoqiu Sect. Why are you afraid of the four major sects? You Jiuli warriors, can't you have some ambition? The four major sects were once just your retainers and servants."
"Besides, Xue Qi has an Eight Springs Pure Immortal Body, and Chen Song is a mortal Nine Springs Supreme Being. They don't have the guts to be my enemy."
Tian Che walked over with a gun in hand and said with a smile: "Brother Bai Ming has a pure immortal body of Jiuquan that can break through the five seas. They are not comparable."
"Just focus on working for Zuoqiu Menting and leave the security issues to us." Zuoqiu Lanlan said.
Shang Zhi smiled bitterly and awkwardly, feeling that the martial artists of the Jiuli tribe, from top to bottom, had indeed lost a bit of sharpness over the years.
Li Weiyi has a different mentality from Shang Zhi. He always feels that the people in Zuoqiumen are too confident.
In a place like Sanshisanli Mountain, who would care about your identity? Who would fight you alone?
In Zuoqiu Baiming, he saw the two sides of these children from prominent families. A superior background can cultivate a proud child like Zuoqiu Ting who is full of confidence, wisdom and magnanimity. However, it can also give birth to a martial artist who is overconfident, conceited and arrogant.
As they were talking, a group of five people entered the fairy mist, stepped on the thick fallen leaves, and went up the mountain.
The rest of the team has disappeared.
The forest was unusually quiet, with only the footsteps and breathing of five people.
"We only have three days. We must get down the mountain before the clouds and fog dissipate. We will not look for the Golden Spring and the Dyeing Medicine in this area below the mountain. We will go directly to the mountains above Jiuli to dig for the Immortal Soil. We must hurry and keep up with me."
Zuoqiu Baiming rode his horse quickly.
All four of them are Five Seas Realm martial artists and are able to keep up.
Li Weiyi took out a Light Flame Pill and swallowed it. Compared with the Immortal Soil, he was more interested in the Golden Spring. He secretly used the Sky-Seeing Eyes to search for it along the way.
Climbing up Sili Mountain, I encountered five corpses of martial artists in the Yongquan realm.
They died in horrible ways. Some had their hearts ripped out by unknown creatures. The bloody holes in their chests and the pale bodies made people's scalps numb. There was another one whose half body was gone. The upper half seemed to have been eaten in one bite, and the bite marks on the waist were very irregular.
The Sanshisanli Mountain itself is mysterious and it is rumored that it may be the burial place of immortals. The scene before them made their backs chill and gave rise to fear of the unknown.
“This doesn’t seem like a man-made disaster!”
Zuoqiu Lanlan looked to be in her twenties, and her beautiful face, which exuded a mature and charming charm, showed signs of uneasiness, which was completely different from the calmness she had shown at the foot of the mountain before.
Li Weiyi was very brave. He walked over, observed for a while, and began to search the body.
The purse is a no.
But from the arms of one of the corpses, three plants of the Dyeing Cloud Herb and an iron bottle were taken out. It was obvious that he was the leader of this Yongquan Realm team, and all the things collected were placed on him.
When you unscrew the iron bottle, golden light will gush out, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Li Weiyi was overjoyed and immediately covered it again and stuffed it into his arms.
Tian Che, Zuoqiu Lanlan and Shang Zhi all regretted it very much. If they had known that the harvest would be so big, they should have rushed to touch the corpse first.
Not to mention them, even Zuoqiu Baiming was excited: "We are a team. After entering the mountain, except for the fairy soil, it is better to divide the rest of the harvest equally, so as to avoid conflicts due to uneven distribution."
Why didn't you tell me before you found the treasure? Li Weiyi frowned, but did not object. He took out the three plants of the Dyeing Cloud Herb and gave them to Zuoqiu Lanlan: "Jinquan, I have a great use for it. I don't want the three plants of the Herb!"
Zuoqiu Baiming's eyes beneath the skin of the dead soul revealed a satisfied smile.
This is the charm of power and absolute strength. Any word he says is an order that everyone must obey.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But Li Weiyi's next words made the smile disappear from his eyes instantly.
"Senior Brother Bai Ming is worthy of being the genius of our sect. He is really admirable. If I were the team leader and if I had the same powerful cultivation as you, I would definitely not distribute it equally. I would at least take half." Li Weiyi said.
Shang Zhi nodded in agreement: "I may have to take the lion's share! Sometimes, you have to admit that character really exists."
Zuoqiu Baiming felt uncomfortable and cursed himself for his bad decision. It was too late to change his words now. He said, "Lan Lan, collect all the exotic medicines first and divide them up after we get down the mountain."
"Who?"
Tian Che raised his magical spear and roared into the fog.
Everyone followed his gaze, their faces changed, and they quickly circulated their magic power.
Reposition yourself and defend.
Twenty feet away in the fog, there stood a strange black shadow. It looked like a human, but its head was too huge, one-third the length of its body. I couldn't see its specific appearance, but I could see the long hair on its head and could feel that it was watching me.
Zuoqiu Baiming snorted, used his magical energy to condense a flying knife in his palm, and threw it out with a "swish".
The giant-headed human figure disappeared.
"What kind of monster is this? Could it be the one that killed these Yongquan realm martial artists?" Zuoqiu Lanlan looked around, feeling extremely nervous and unsettled.
Zuoqiu Baiming said: "I have the Yin-Suppressing Banner and the Heavenly Flame Sword in my hands. I can take care of any creature, whether it's a living thing or a dead spirit. But... we should leave this damn place as soon as possible."
Continue up the mountain.
There was no road, and the slope became steeper and steeper. The five people shuttled through thorns and jungles.
Li Weiyi and Shang Zhi led the way.
Zuoqiu Baiming had already abandoned his horse, holding the high-level magical weapon, the Sky Flame Sword, and walked in the rear to support the formation. The Zuoqiu Sect gave him all the top-level combat weapons and combat treasures, and armed him to the extreme.
The journey was relatively smooth, and the giant head figure did not appear again. In less than three hours, they climbed to the bottom of a waterfall in Jiuli Mountain.
Zuoqiu Baiming ordered everyone to stop and looked around: "Once we reach Jiuli Mountain, we will have a chance to dig up the immortal soil. Everyone, spread out and search. Don't go too far. When you hear my whistle, immediately return the way you came."
"What does the fairy soil look like?" Shang Zhi asked.
Zuo Qiu Baiming said: "Go to the forest and look for the trajectory of the fairy mist and clouds. Follow the trajectory and you will have a chance to find the fairy soil. It is difficult to describe what the fairy soil looks like, but when you see it, you will naturally know that it is the fairy soil, and it is definitely not spiritual soil or mineral mud."
"Also... all the immortal soil you dig up, give it to me first. I will help you remember the amount."
Zuoqiu Baiming rushed into the forest first, wanting to dig more fairy soil to prove himself in front of Zuoqiu Ting.
Tian Che and Zuo Qiu Lan Lan walked in another direction.
Shang Zhi said: "Brother Sima, do you want to team up together?"
Li Weiyi shook his head and sat down on a huge rock: "Don't you feel tired at all? I'll just rest for a while. It's only three days. There's no rush."
"Haha, all right. If I dig up some immortal soil later, don't be jealous. One ounce of immortal soil is worth three hundred thousand silver coins. This great opportunity only comes a few times in a lifetime."
Shang Zhi carried the knife and left, disappearing into the fog.
Li Weiyi always has a sense of awe for Sanshisanli.
Zuoqiu Baiming definitely knows something. He first said, "We'll separate the medicines after we get down the mountain," and then said, "Give him all the fairy soil we've dug up first." Between his words, he seemed to be implying that you guys might not be able to get down the mountain alive.
Li Weiyi stayed alone, of course not to rest, but to focus on the 100-meter-high light golden cliff where the waterfall was. And under the cliff, there were light golden stones everywhere.
