Chapter 30 Medicine King City.
Of course not!
Those who meddle in other people’s affairs in the spiritual world die quickly!
If you want to meddle in other people's business, you must first break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Wei Zhen sped away towards his destination.
However, he changed his mind and realized that they were fellow disciples after all. It was not a very human thing for him to watch helplessly while knowing there was danger.
He stopped halfway and searched in his storage bag for a while. Finally, he found a Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note and immediately cast a spell to transmit the sound:
"Reporting to the elder, on my way out, I happened to meet Brother Qin Chuan, a disciple of the Reward and Punishment Peak, who was on his way to Fengzhou City to carry out a mission..."
He briefly informed them of the situation, and then said that he saw several Nascent Souls entering Fengzhou City. He was worried about the difficulty of Qin Chuan's mission, so he sent a message over a thousand miles to report back to the sect.
After the spell was completed, the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note burned to ashes.
Only then did Wei Zhen feel satisfied and continued on his journey.
What he could do has been done.
If it doesn’t work, then there’s nothing I can do. After all, I’ve just reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, right?
It's not the same track as Yuanying, and going there would be a death wish.
Fengxian Sect, inside Fengxian Hall.
The guardian elder Qing Ling came to report the situation.
"Sect Master, Wei Zhen left the sect today, saying that he was going to look for medicinal herbs for the next breakthrough. I gave him a Nascent Soul-level body-protecting magic treasure."
Nangong Fengwu was slightly surprised when she heard this: "He is about to break through again? Isn't this too fast?"
It was only about half a year ago that Wei Zhen had his last breakthrough.
It is not easy to break through to a small realm during the foundation-building period. Most geniuses need one or two years to reach a small realm. How could Wei Zhen be promoted in just half a year?
It seems that he has learned a lot in Wending Pavilion.
"Master, I see that his aura is extremely strong and his realm is extremely stable. He is indeed capable of making another breakthrough." Qing Ling said.
Nangong Fengwu nodded, looking satisfied:
"This is indeed a wonderful thing. Wei Zhen's talent really gave me a pleasant surprise. Our Fengxian Sect hasn't produced such a genius for a long time. Zhao Suxuan has accepted a good disciple."
Qing Ling asked: "Master, should I continue to follow and protect you?"
Nangong Fengwu shook her head and said, "Just let him go. Since he is a genius, he can't live in protection all the time. Besides, you have already given him a Nascent Soul-level body-protecting magic treasure. If he goes out to find some herbs, he won't anger the strong ones above the Nascent Soul. Such strong ones shouldn't bother with a junior."
"Yes, Sect Master." Qing Ling nodded and felt relieved immediately.
Just as I was about to say goodbye, I suddenly heard a voice transmitted over a thousand miles.
After listening attentively, his expression changed and he hurriedly reported:
"Master, I just received a message from Wei Zhen from thousands of miles away!"
Nangong Fengwu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Qing Ling quickly repeated the content of the voice transmission, and Nangong Fengwu immediately frowned and said:
"This Fengzhou City is just a mortal city. How can it attract a Nascent Soul cultivator to come there?"
"Master, I know about the request for help received from Reward and Punishment Peak. Previously, it was said that it only involved the Golden Core Realm. Now it seems that this matter is not simple and there is another hidden story."
Nangong Fengwu frowned and thought for a while, then said:
"In that case, let Lei Bailian go and see for himself what's going on. The great mortal families in Fengzhou City have never been vague about paying tribute to our sect, and our Fengxian Sect cannot let them down."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Qing Ling nodded and was about to go and notify immediately.
however!
Nangong Fengwu raised her hand again, thought for a moment, and said:
"Wait! The demon clan's spies are rampant nowadays, and there are endless signs of them. There is no guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with the demon clan. How about this, let Zhao Suxuan go with us, so that she can take care of us."
Zhao Suxuan is the strongest among the seven peak masters. She is a master of flying swords and her combat power is close to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. She would feel more at ease if she let him go with her.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Qing Ling immediately went to inform.
……
Wei Zhen flew on his sword for half a day, and near dusk, he finally arrived over a town near the Qingling Mountains.
This city is called Yaowang City!
"Uncle, are we there yet?" The little kid was sleeping on Wei Zhen's left shoulder.
Feeling that Wei Zhen had stopped, he opened his eyes, yawned, and sat up.
"Well, we're here. Let's go to the town below first to find out about the recent situation in the Qingling Mountains." Wei Zhen said.
It fell rapidly towards the town below.
Like him, there were endless streams of cultivators who came from afar on flying swords or even on spirit boats, and they all landed in the town one after another.
This town was specially built to serve the monks who came here to collect herbs. It seems to be supported by Yaowang Sect, one of the five major immortal sects. Yaowang Sect is not far from here, so the most disciples seen here are from Yaowang Sect.
The Qingling Mountains are rich in spiritual herbs and precious medicines, but it is not an ordinary place. For monks who collect herbs, only one stage is relatively friendly.
The rest of the time, the mountains are either filled with poisonous miasma or there are powerful ferocious beasts roaming around. If you are not careful, you may die without knowing how. This is called the Jue Ling period.
The duration of this friendly phase is not fixed and changes frequently without any regularity.
Anyone who comes to collect herbs must first inquire about the situation in Yaowang City before going there.
After Wei Zhen and the other man landed, they entered an inn, found a table in the lobby and sat down, and ordered a pot of spiritual tea.
What Yaowang City sells is information about the Qingling Mountains. Naturally, you need money to buy it. By spending money, you can get the most detailed information about the Qingling Mountains in different periods.
These materials are sold in every inn, and the prices are similar.
But don't worry, some news only exists in the casual conversation after dinner in the lobby.
As soon as Wei Zhen sat down, the little kid jumped off his shoulder. Seeing an unlit oil lamp on the counter, he immediately ran over to "take a bath".
No one could see him, so he could soak as he pleased.
"Sir, this is your magic tea, please enjoy it slowly!" The waiter brought the magic tea, Wei Zhen nodded, and began to drink it slowly.
He wanted news that couldn't be bought.
After sitting in the lobby for most of the day, when it was getting dark, some monks who had returned from collecting herbs in the Qingling Mountains finally entered the inn.
He ordered some hot wine to warm himself up and then started chatting.
"Alas, this Qingling Mountain Range is probably about to enter the Absolute Spirit Stage. Wherever I went today, I encountered many young beasts dying in the wild."
"I also feel that the spring in the mountain is no longer drinkable. I saw many dead animals near the spring. It is really horrifying."
"It seems like there won't be many days left."
"..."
Wei Zhen eavesdropped secretly and his expression changed slightly.
This was the news he wanted.
From this perspective, it seems that there is not much time left for myself.
The duration of this Absolute Spiritual Stage is not fixed. It can be as short as a few months, as long as several years, or even more than ten years.
From what they said about the "dead beast", I'm afraid there will be poisonous miasma this time!
The poisonous miasma in the Qingling Mountains would kill ordinary cultivators if touched. Even powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or even the God Transformation stage would be afraid of it.
After listening to two groups of people chatting and revealing almost the same information, Wei Zhen frowned.
Then he stood up and bought a jade slip containing information about the Qingling Mountains from the counter and left the inn.
"Uncle, are we going into the mountains now?" The little kid followed and shook his body, and all the oil and water on his body flew out.
Wei Zhen nodded: "We don't have much time left. We need to find the necessary herbs before we completely enter the Absolute Spirit Stage."
Little Douding nodded.
He was not worried, because he was a great immortal. A mere poisonous miasma was nothing more than that!
The two of them set off immediately, flying on their swords and entering the Qingling Mountains.
After the two left, two more women arrived at the inn. They were Lan Yue'e and the Saint Ming Yuechan from the Fengxian Sect.
Ming Yuechan's face was pale and bloodless at this moment, and she was seriously injured.
"Senior Sister, the powerful demon clan won't chase us here for the time being. Let's rest here for one night. Tomorrow I will go into the mountains to find medicine for you to heal your wounds." Lan Yue'e helped the weak Ming Yuechan into the guest room, her face full of worry.
This time Ming Yuechan led the team to the front line, but unexpectedly the spies in the sect had already exposed their whereabouts to the demon clan, causing the powerful demon clan hidden in the territory to kill them halfway.
The crowd was defeated and could only flee in all directions.
The two women met up halfway, but the demons were relentless in pursuit, and the two of them were fighting and fleeing, and they were already out of ammunition and food.
However, they were too far away from the sect and could not use the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note to ask for help, so they could only rely on sending messages halfway.
Fortunately, they finally arrived at a place where humans gathered. No matter how brave the monsters were, they would not dare to come in easily.
After all, if you shout that there is a spy from the demon tribe, you will definitely be attacked by everyone!
Ming Yuechan took a deep breath and said:
"The message for help should reach the sect in two days. If we hold on for a few more days, the sect will surely send someone to help us. Yue'e, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard these days."
