All the way from Taihua Mountain to Yunzhou, Luo Jianqing was listening to Li Xiuchen's whispered complaints.
Luo Jianqing had excellent hearing, and every word Li Xiuchen said rang through his ears. At first, he was just complaining about his constant bad luck, but then he started analyzing things with a bit of intelligence: "Why do I always have problems? When I went to the Beidou Ruins, I didn't get anything. Then I went to Wanshou Ridge and saw the pill, but then I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I was already at the bottom of the mountain, and the pill was gone too."
Luo Jianqing was very surprised that Li Xiuchen had thought of this. In Luo Jianqing's mind, he still remembered that when he first met Li Xiuchen eight years ago, he thought he was a brainless idiot. Now that he could think about it, it was a qualitative breakthrough.
However, being able to notice that something was wrong was already Li Xiuchen's limit, and he could no longer figure out why all this was happening.
It was evening when we arrived in Yunzhou.
The Xuantian Continent is divided into one mountain, thirty-six states, eight dangerous places and sixteen wastelands.
The "one mountain" refers to Mount Taihua, located in the very center of the continent. As for the Thirty-Six States, they represent the common habitat of the human race. As for the Eight Dangerous Lands, Luo Jianqing had once fled to one of them, the Far North, in his previous life, only to be found by his Second and Sixth Junior Brothers. The Frost Wasteland, where Mo Qiu grew up, is one of the Sixteen Wastelands.
Yunzhou wasn't considered particularly wealthy or powerful among the Thirty-Six Provinces, being merely a medium-sized province. Its terrain was flat and devoid of dangerous terrain, and the Four Sects, Eight Great Families, and Sixteen Schools hadn't flourished here. Instead, numerous smaller sects flourished freely on this land.
If there is anything special about Yunzhou, it is that it borders the Demonic Palace.
The Demon Palace is the most special place in the human territory. It does not belong to the Thirty-Six States. It is a paradise for demon cultivators.
It was common knowledge that, outside of wartime, the demonic cultivators were inimical to the other cultivators, a common target of hostility. However, with the rise of the Demon Lord, this powerful figure established the Demonic Palace and once led the demonic cultivators to conquer three states. Ultimately, it was Mount Taihua that sent its then-Grand Elder, the Master of Jade Sky Peak, to halt the war.
Since then, the demon cultivators have obtained a piece of land where they can live safely - the Demon Palace.
This incident happened over three thousand years ago and has been forgotten by many people. The reason why Luo Jianqing still remembers it is because the Supreme Elder is his own master, Xuan Lingzi's master.
Although there is only one super-grade root bone every thousand years, it is not certain that one will appear in a thousand years. Xuan Lingzi's master did not have a super-grade root bone. It took him three thousand years to wait for Xuan Lingzi. Fortunately, Xuan Lingzi only waited for Luo Jianqing in three hundred years.
Luo Jianqing knew that the righteous people all said that it was their master who repelled the Demon Lord. But the truth was quite the opposite. When Luo Jianqing was a child, Xuan Lingzi once said to him: "The Demon Lord is a man worthy of awe. He defeated your master."
At that time, Xuan Lingzi had already reached the Spirit Transformation Stage. The fact that he could actually evaluate a late Mahayana cultivator in this way was enough to show how powerful the Demon Lord was.
Everyone knows that the Demon Lord has killed countless people in his life, and his cultivation path is full of the blood of the people of the world. He is a complete demon, but this does not affect his legend, because the Demon Lord has the root bone of the first grade.
Just think about how bad the first-grade lower-grade root bone is. Among the Seven Sons of Taihua, Zuo Yunmo, who has the worst aptitude, has the first-grade upper-grade root bone, and the other five are all of the first-grade top-grade. Luo Jianqing even has a super-grade root bone. This shows it.
But it was such a demon cultivator who should have absolutely no chance of breaking through the Tribulation Period, yet he became the Demon Lord.
Luo Jianqing had been thinking about this since he set foot on Yunzhou. Although he had never met the Demon Lord, he knew quite a bit about him. Furthermore, Luo Jianqing already knew why Li Xiuchen had come to Yunzhou this time.
"Seeking Immortality II" says that Li Xiuchen is going to collect his third concubine here.
She was a cold-blooded, cruel girl, dressed in black, so that whenever blood splattered on her, it was invisible. She would suddenly strike while laughing and talking, using no weapons, to rip out her opponent's heart with her bare hands. Gazing at the bloody, still-beating heart, the beautiful girl smiled, yet her expression was as terrifying as a demon.
This is the Demon Lord’s disciple, the witch Yunxiang from the Demon Palace.
After entering Yunzhou, Luo Jianqing naturally concealed his presence. He pondered for a moment before taking out a silver mask from his ring and putting it on his face.
Luo Jianqing followed Li Xiuchen and saw him enter an inn. This time, Luo Jianqing was not anxious. He walked down another street and stayed in another inn.
Yunzhou was close to the Demonic Palace. To maintain order in Yunzhou, monks often walked around the city, and ordinary people had long been accustomed to these monks. Monks always had strange personalities, so Luo Jianqing, wearing a mask, did not attract anyone's attention.
In the provincial capital, the city lord was naturally at least at the Fusion Stage, and Yunzhou also had three medium-level sects of considerable strength. Luo Jianqing didn't dare act too presumptuously here. He calmly took his room card, entered his room, and began to meditate and practice.
Three days later, a charming woman in black swaggered past Luo Jianqing's inn. With every step she took, the silver bells on her body jingled. Along the way, the clear chimes continued, converging into a lively song.
It’s not that some people were extremely annoyed, but after seeing the girl’s cultivation level, they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Late Jindan stage!
Such a young girl actually has the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage! She must have a powerful background, don't mess with her!
