In the Middle Ages, the immortal cultivation civilization was very prosperous in this area, and large Nascent Soul sects were also born there.
As time goes by, the world changes.
The once prosperous immortal cultivation civilization was lost in the passage of time.
In that era, there were many gods everywhere and Yuanying were worse than dogs.
In this day and age, even in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Tian, the Divine Transformation cultivators are only rumors, while the Nascent Soul cultivators are the most powerful sects in the world.
It is conceivable that if a relic from the Middle Ages were discovered, it would be a great opportunity for the three major immortal cultivation sects of the Chu State.
The State of Chu... no... the entire desolate area has been waiting for the Nascent Soul for a long time.
If the ruins contained an opportunity related to the Nascent Soul, it would make sense for the three sects of the Chu State to block the market town.
Once the news spreads outside, it will be known that in addition to the State of Chu, the Desolate Territory also has neighboring immortal cultivation kingdoms such as the State of Yue, the State of Wu, and the State of Chen. It is impossible for them to allow the ruins to be excavated by the three sects of the State of Chu.
Going further out, there is the Wanxing Sea in the north of the Wilderness, where islands are scattered all over the place and there are more cultivators than in the countries in the Wilderness.
In his mind, Shen Lian weighed the life of a casual cultivator and the possible opportunity to attain Nascent Soul.
The scale rod is broken.
In the eyes of the Jindan Sect.
He doesn't deserve it.
No, he is not worthy of the lives of all the casual cultivators.
"Damn it, the price of the Miasma Elixir has gone up again, it's now 15 Spirit Stones per bottle."
"Okay, it's good enough that we can buy it. Let's go quickly and leave the market to avoid the limelight."
"We can't stay in the market for now. If things go wrong, the Bishui Sect might kill us."
"Brother, I'm not as weird as you say. Besides, those medieval ruins may not be real."
"That's right. I don't think it's that mysterious. If the Green Water Sect wanted to take action, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
"It's better to believe it and hide outside first. The worst that can happen is that we will have to feed the bugs outside for a few more days. It's better than losing our lives. Let's go to the secret canyon we found last time."
Shen Lian's divine sense carefully monitored the communications between the cultivators on the street, trying to capture more information for his own analysis.
"Brother, Yunmeng Market is just like our Changhe Market. It seems that there is no hope of returning from Yunmeng Market. Do we really have to cross the wilderness?"
"It's okay. At worst, we can call a few more Taoist friends and form a group to cross the wilderness. It's better than being trapped here and dying."
…
Capturing his divine sense, Shen Lian realized that he was not the only one who was worried.
Many independent cultivators also realized that something was wrong and began to prepare their own escape routes.
It should be said that since the last time they bought the Anti-Miasma Pill and discovered that the price had gone up, some monks must have been stockpiling the goods.
The sect is such a huge entity that it puts too much pressure on the independent cultivators.
The ancient ruins are opportunities for the sect, but they may be a disaster for the independent cultivator.
The group of casual cultivators are used to being unruly and cautious, and they have even mastered the great magical power of 'running away with ease'.
…
Deep in the miasma mountain.
Earthquakes occasionally occur from deep within the earth.
The Jindan ancestors of the three sects were stationed in three places, each with their own defenses.
The one who spoke was Jin Yang Zhenren from the Tian Yang Sect, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"If you ask me, we should just kill all these wandering cultivators. After all, we are deep in the wilderness and no one will know about it."
Master Jiuling frowned but did not refute.
His eyes looked into the depths of the cave, where there was a broken restriction that was flickering with golden light.
This is a fourth-order restriction.
When it was set up that year, the formation was connected to the earth veins, and the technique was so mysterious that it has survived to this day.
It is necessary to dispatch various resources from the sect.
The things inside the fourth-level restriction are very likely to be at the Nascent Soul level.
"There are countless miasma in the wilderness and mountains. There are more than ten thousand independent cultivators sent by our three sects. Can you kill them all?"
Xuan Ling Zhenren scolded coldly.
"My disciples have reported that some independent cultivators have begun to hide in the mountains and forests filled with miasma. Don't underestimate these ants who are only capable of practicing Qi. They are very sensitive to danger."
"You, the Jindan cultivators, don't really have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea. What if the noise is too loud and attracts the big monsters and wild beasts hidden in the depths of the wilderness? How will it end then?"
"This place is thousands of miles away from the State of Chu. There are countless miasma and many monsters. Can these Qi training ants make it back?"
Master Jin Yang retorted, but his aura was obviously not as strong as before.
A Qigong cultivator scattering into the wilderness is no different from a fish scattering into the sea.
At that time, even if they are Jindan cultivators, it would be difficult for them to escape the endless wilderness and sneak in as independent cultivators.
If a few independent cultivators were lucky enough to actually run back to the State of Chu, then the news would be impossible to conceal.
By then, the three sects’ idea of making a fortune in silence would be shattered.
"True and false, false and true."
When True Man Jiu Ling waved his hand, several broken corpses of Qi-cultivating monks flew out from the ruins.
In recent days, many independent cultivators came to Zhanyun Mountain in search of opportunities, but they were all killed secretly.
According to the three people's speculation, the underground vein connecting this mineral vein and the city ruins is very wide, and the surge of spiritual energy in the three major cities is also due to the chain reaction caused by their attack on the prohibition.
"Since we can no longer conceal it, let the independent cultivators seek opportunities. Just give them some broken magic tools and ores to create signs of a second-level ruins. This shouldn't be difficult."
Xuan Ling Zhenren nodded, "Also, the market town cannot be closed. It is better to let the independent cultivators leave on the spirit ship than to scatter them into the wilderness."
"Since the spiritual energy of the market cannot be concealed, then let the news spread and expand the market into a city."
"To be on the safe side, all the independent cultivators who leave on the spirit ship must be killed along the way." The fierceness in Master Tianyang's eyes reappeared.
…
Under the night.
Shen Lian was preparing to practice.
Today he bought two kinds of five-element spiritual objects, the Fire Spirit Fruit and the Yaoyang Flower, which can be used to help nourish the five elements of fire and earth.
During these few days, he also collected a first-grade top-grade Breath-Containing Array, a first-grade top-grade Mysterious Earth Fusion Array, and a large number of various items for cultivation and daily life.
Prepare to go to a place deep in the wilderness and open up a cave as a backup hiding place.
As for second-level formations, elixirs and other resources, they are not sold in the market.
The Bishui Sect does not need any independent cultivators to build their foundation; Qi-cultivating cultivators are enough to open up the wilderness.
At this time, the communication symbol lights up.
Weng Xia's voice rang out.
"Brother, I have good news for you. The sect has decided to remove the blockade order and no longer restrict independent cultivators from traveling to and from Chu's cultivation world."
"After re-exploring the spiritual veins under the market, we found that there was a large section that was previously hidden. The level of the spiritual vein should be the upper level of the second grade, almost approaching the third grade."
"Therefore, the sect decided to rebuild the market town and build a real city here, and also to open up three more market towns for cultivation around it."
"The ruins of the Miasma Mountain have been verified to be a medieval ruin, but the level is not high. It should be a mining city. The sect no longer restricts cultivators from exploring, and the General Affairs Hall has also issued corresponding tasks."
"Now you can rest assured, brother. I advise you not to rush back. Now the sect wants to build a city and open up wasteland, so it will definitely require a large number of miasma-removing talismans. It is a good time to accumulate spirit stones."
"Wait until I have accumulated enough spirit stones before leaving. Then I can directly purchase a fine foundation-building cultivation technique. Wouldn't that be great?"
