The winding mountains are like green waves, rolling and wrapping around the battlefield.
The area of nearly a hundred miles had been completely annihilated in the battle between these two supreme beings, leaving only debris and treasures. Many demonic beasts and human cultivators hadn't even left their remains. Only demonic beasts above the seventh rank could leave behind their inner elixirs, and cultivators above the golden elixir stage could leave behind only their skeletons.
So it was a dead place surrounded by mountains.
Luo Jianqing had actually guessed long ago that this must be a very mysterious place in Wanshou Ridge. Because Wanshou Ridge does not allow monsters above level eight to enter, but there is a dead level eight monster here, and even a level nine Golden Sky Dragon.
After Luo Jianqing woke up, he quickly hid behind a pile of sand and rocks, quietly watching the battle in the distance.
A ninth-rank Golden Heavenly Longevity Dragon was the equivalent of a human cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing stage, possessing immense strength. Although Luo Jianqing had never seen any ninth-rank elixirs before, seeing how it matched the Heavenly Longevity Dragon, he assumed its strength was also around the Tribulation Crossing stage.
The Tianshou Jiao first fought the pill in human form, but soon it transformed into its true form. It was a golden dragon with two long horns on its forehead, similar to dragon horns, and four claws. Every scale on its body glowed coldly under the scorching sun, like the sun.
It swung its long tail, and immediately a whirlwind blew up and headed towards the pill.
Dan Yao, however, remained remarkably calm. He set his zither down, suspended it before him, and gently plucked it. With a flick of his finger, a terrifying wave of sound shot out, colliding with the whirlwind in a terrifying explosion. The energy wave impacted Luo Jianqing, sending chills down his spine, even from a distance of over twenty miles.
Luo Jianqing immediately took out a green bamboo umbrella and covered his head with it.
With the protection of the green bamboo umbrella, Luo Jianqing breathed a sigh of relief and began to watch this thrilling battle carefully.
The golden dragon moved like lightning, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes circling and surrounding. When it moved, it could whip up a gust of wind, forming a terrifying fierce wind slash, and continuously attacking. In contrast, the scholar in a light-colored robe sat quietly in his place, bowing his head and playing the zither.
The instrument he played was a very simple-looking guqin, and the way he played it was quite casual, but the music echoed throughout the sky, stopping the flowing clouds and keeping the strong winds at bay.
The music was low and gentle, repeating several melodies, but the realm of mind mixed in with the sound made Luo Jianqing somewhat mesmerized. He seemed to recall the scene a few years ago when Xuan Lingzi played the Yuxiaoqin for him. At that time, Xuan Lingzi's music was also mixed with some wonderful realms.
Although the qin sound of this elixir scholar was far inferior to Xuan Lingzi's, Luo Jianqing could still sense a kind of ethereal state in it. It was a state where one could clearly see the vicissitudes of life. When the qin sound fell, it was like a woman's sobbing, and when it rose again, it was like a silent wail.
This is a sad song.
With the help of this sad song, the battle between the elixir and the monster was so fierce that the sky seemed to crack and the earth shook.
When they finally changed battlefields and headed for the distant sky, Luo Jianqing immediately flew into the battlefield and began to loot. His movements were naturally much faster than Li Xiuchen's. The first thing he took was the inner elixir from the corpse of the eighth-level monster, and then he took the broken sword of the heavenly level.
After making sure he took these two things, Luo Jianqing continued to search without any care.
A human cultivator's earth-level magic weapon? Take it! The corpse of a seventh-level demon beast? Take it!
As long as it is a treasure of some value, take it all away without leaving even a trace!
After a cup of tea, the entire battlefield was stripped clean like a goose plucking feathers after passing by. Except for some worthless pieces of stone and burnt branches, everything else went into Luo Jianqing's storage ring.
Looking at such a dead and silent place, Luo Jianqing sighed softly. He first burned the bones of the Nascent Soul cultivator who had died suddenly and the other three Golden Core cultivators, and took away their ashes. He planned to find a place to erect an anonymous monument for them after leaving.
Then, Luo Jianqing's method of dealing with the corpses of monsters that he had never seen before became much simpler.
With a wave of his sleeves, he burned everything!
After finishing all this, Luo Jianqing began to search around. After searching for a full quarter of an hour, he finally found the unconscious Li Xiuchen under a huge rock. When he saw Li Xiuchen, Luo Jianqing's mouth twitched. He was completely convinced by the Heavenly Dao that was so biased towards the Far North.
He and Li Xiuchen were both swept along by a gust of wind. He landed carelessly on the ground, but luckily he woke up early, otherwise he might have been killed by the battle between the monster and the elixir. But what about Li Xiuchen? He was lying under a thousand-year-old Zhongqi stone, sound asleep!
Zhongqi Stone is a premium material for refining weapons, a sixth-grade spirit stone. It possesses two unique characteristics: first, its exceptional hardness and exceptional defense, comparable to a tortoise shell; second, its concealment, making it so invisible that even a master refiner might miss it. This spirit stone, aside from its exceptional hardness, possesses no other distinctive qualities, making it so ordinary it's easily forgotten. Had the Zhongqi Stone not protected Li Xiuchen from the aftermath of the ultimate battle, Luo Jianqing would have been completely unaware of it.
Looking at such a large piece of Zhongqi stone, Luo Jianqing slowly smiled with his eyes curved.
"Giving this stone to Sixth Junior Brother for refining weapons should be just right for him."
Li Xiuchen, who was still sleeping soundly, turned over and seemed to agree with this statement.
After all, this stone could temporarily save Li Xiuchen's life, so Luo Jianqing didn't take it away immediately. He hid not far away and kept watching Li Xiuchen. At this moment, Luo Jianqing could no longer observe the battle in the sky, but he still waited very patiently, because he knew that without Li Xiuchen, he would never be able to find the pill.
