Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 901: Heading to the Northern Frontier, the Earth is Blue and the Moon is White

On the east side of the "Duanyun Mountains", in an ordinary small market town.

Because it is located on the edge of the mountain range, there are many monks passing through here on their way to the "Broken Cloud Mountains" to hunt for treasures and hunt monsters. They often come here to rest and purchase spiritual objects.

Although it was already dusk, the streets of the market were still bustling with people.

A young man with ordinary appearance and wearing a conical hat walked slowly forward in the crowd, his eyes scanning the shop doors on both sides of the street.

When the man in green robe came to a shop called "Qianyun Pavilion", his eyes immediately stayed on the spot, then he turned around and walked directly into the shop.

"Sir, our store not only buys spiritual medicines, but also has all kinds of Qi Refining elixirs. May I ask what you would like to order?"

As soon as the man in green robe entered the door, a gray-clothed guy who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining came up to him quickly and introduced himself to him with a smile.

Seeing the other party's very ordinary attire, the "Qianyun Pavilion" guy naturally regarded him as a casual cultivator who was preparing to go to the "Duanyun Mountains" to seek opportunities.

Just when the gray-clothed guy thought that Song Qingming would be like most of the cultivators who came here and said that he wanted to buy some elixirs and spiritual objects.

The other party slowly took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him with a hint of mystery.

"I want to buy some spiritual items. Can you please help me see if you have these items?"

The gray-clothed guy took the note, looked at the other party strangely, and then patiently opened the note in his hand.

The next moment, after seeing what was written above, the gray-robed clerk's face changed slightly. He raised his head and looked carefully at the green-robed man, then spoke directly:

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, is the thing you want for yourself or for a friend?"

"I bought it for someone. My good friend's surname is Xia. She was the one who told me to come to your place."

Hearing the answer from the green-robed man, the Qianyun Pavilion clerk immediately smiled and turned to him respectfully:

"This item is stored in the back hall storeroom. Please come with me to get it!"

Led by the gray-clothed clerk, the two men immediately walked through the hall to the back of the shop, then walked up the stairs to the door of a house on the second floor.

"Please come in, senior. I will go down first."

Seeing that the gray-clothed waiter had left on his own initiative, the man in the green robe reached out and pushed open the wooden door in front of him and walked directly into the room.

At this time, a woman in white with a veil on her head had already stood not far ahead, and smiled at the man in green robe.

"I've been waiting for so long, but you haven't come yet. I was worried that you might have run into some trouble and couldn't keep the appointment."

Seeing Xia Mo not far in front of him, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed to her with a hint of apology on his face and said:
“It’s not that I encountered any troubles, but I was in seclusion and it happened to be a critical moment in my cultivation. It was not convenient to come out early, so I was delayed for some time.

I am really sorry! "

"It doesn't matter! As long as Fellow Daoist Song can come, wasting this little time won't be a big deal."

Xia Mo smiled and waved her hand, then continued to speak:
"The other Daoists have already arrived. I stayed here specifically to wait for you. Since Daoist Song is here, follow me to join them!"

After saying that, Xia Mo led Song Qingming out from the back door. The two crossed the street and quickly left the market.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of Xia Mo, the two quickly arrived at the coast of the East China Sea and saw a treasure ship docked on the beach.

Although this treasure ship looked far smaller than the high-level treasure ships Song Qingming had seen before, it was also a very rare "fourth-level treasure ship" and was beautifully decorated.

As Song Qingming and the other two landed, several rays of light flashed on the boat, with an aura as strong as theirs.

Immediately afterwards, three Nascent Soul cultivators, two men and one woman, appeared in front of Song Qingming and Xia Mo at the same time, and bowed slightly to the two people who had just arrived.

Seeing this, Xia Mo hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and introduced the three people in front of her:

"Everyone, this is Fellow Daoist Song from the Floating Cloud Mountains. I specially invited him to help this time."

"I am Song Qingming from Xiaoyao Sect. I am honored to meet you, fellow Taoists."

After hearing Song Qingming's self-introduction, a man in a white robe wearing a golden crown among the three people seemed to have thought of something and immediately stepped forward with a smile and asked:

"I heard earlier that a fellow Daoist from the Xiaoyao Sect in the east of the Floating Cloud Mountains killed a demon king in the north. Could it be that this was done by Daoist Song?"

During the last "Monster Rebellion", Song Qingming and others joined forces with Yang Fengyu of the Tianji Sect, set up an ambush in the "Guiyunfang" and finally successfully killed the "Red Cloud Demon King".

This incident not only alarmed the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range", but also spread to the nearby East China Sea immortal cultivation world.

Hearing the white-robed man mention this, Song Qingming nodded quickly and replied modestly:

“Fellow Daoist, what you said is correct. The Scarlet Cloud Demon King was indeed the work of our sect and the Tianji Sect.

However, my cultivation was still low at that time, and I was not the main force in killing the Demon King. I was just helping a few senior brothers.

If you attribute this achievement to me, you are being too flattering to me.”

As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, another middle-aged man with a long beard and wearing a Taoist robe standing beside him smiled and responded:
"Haha! Brother Song is so young, yet he was able to kill a Nascent Soul Demon King during a riot of demon beasts. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Even if it is not just the work of fellow Taoist, it is enough for us to look at you differently."

".."

While they were talking, Xia Mo also started to introduce the other three people.

The man in a white robe with a golden crown on his head was named Wang Lingji. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had started out as a casual cultivator. His cultivation had already reached the third level of the Nascent Soul. He was also the owner of the "fourth-level treasure ship" on which Song Qingming and the others were.

Another Taoist with a long beard, whose Taoist name is Jin Xuanzi, is the supreme elder of the "Changchun Temple", a Yuanying sect in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. His cultivation has reached the fourth level of Yuanying.

The last remaining woman in purple palace dress who didn't say much was named Shen Bingling. She was also the one with the highest cultivation among the five Nascent Soul cultivators present, and her cultivation had already broken through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Like Xia Mo, Shen Bingling is also one of the three Nascent Soul ancestors of the "Baihua Palace", and the two are sisters from the same sect.

Except for his senior sister Shen Bingling, Qing Xuanzi and Wang Lingji were in a similar situation as Song Qingming. They were all invited by Xia Mo to come and help.

However, compared to Song Qingming who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, the two of them were both veteran Nascent Soul cultivators in the East China Sea cultivation world. It was unknown what spiritual object Xia Mo had used to invite them.

After the few people got to know each other, Wang Lingji led everyone to the cabin and gave the order to the monks on the ship to sail.

Soon, this exquisitely-looking "fourth-level treasure ship" began to move rapidly towards the sea ahead under the control of many monks on board.

The Northern Frontier is located in the northern continent of the entire "Eastern Phoenix Fairyland". Although it is a place where monsters and beasts reside and the climate is changeable, the spiritual energy in the "Northern Frontier" is as rich as that in the southern part of the country occupied by human cultivators.

Moreover, compared to the many immortal cultivation realms in the south where human cultivators are everywhere, the "Northern Frontier" is rarely visited by cultivators, and its natural treasures are even more numerous.

This time, the reason why Xia Mo asked so many Nascent Soul cultivators for help was to go to the "Northern Frontier" to find an extremely valuable fourth-level mid-grade spiritual object.

The "treasure ship" traveled northward along the coast for more than ten days. After more than ten days, the surrounding islands were already deserted, and the traces of human monks could no longer be seen.

Just like the struggles among the major sects of human cultivators, the demon beasts also have their own territories and often fight each other for territory.

The reason for choosing to take the treasure ship and go to the "Northern Frontier" near the sea is precisely to pass through the border between the territories of the "Northern Frontier" monsters and the sea monsters.

Although this route is much more detour than taking the land route through the "Floating Cloud Mountains", it is relatively safer and you will not encounter those difficult demon kings.

After sailing on the sea for more than a month, the treasure ship finally docked on a deserted island. At this time, Song Qingming and others had already passed through the "Floating Cloud Mountains" and arrived at the eastern coastal area of ​​​​"Northern Frontier".

After arriving here, Song Qingming and the other four directly abandoned the treasure ship and flew into the air.

The next moment, Shen Bingling immediately cast a spell with one hand and threw out a green round lotus platform with a radius of two or three feet, and jumped directly on it with everyone.

Under Shen Bingling's spell control, bursts of white mist slowly gushed out from the "green lotus platform", and then the entire lotus platform was completely enveloped by the white mist.

At this time, after the figures of Song Qingming and others were obscured by the white mist, they also appeared somewhat transparent and were all hidden in the void.

“My fellow Taoists, we are about to enter the Northern Frontier.

To prevent the monsters from discovering our tracks, please try to conceal your aura to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Hearing Shen Bingyun's reminder, Jin Xuanzi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, took out a "white disc" magic weapon first and placed it directly above his head.

As the "white disc" shone a ray of light covering Jin Xuanzi below, Song Qingming clearly felt that the other party's aura had disappeared.

Seeing this, Wang Lingji also cast a spell and threw out a green bronze mirror, which he placed around himself to conceal his own aura.

Song Qingming simply attached a third-level invisibility talisman to himself, and his entire figure and aura immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xia Mo was simpler. She directly activated her own magic weapon to release bursts of white petals, forming a circular ban in front of her and Shen Bingling, concealing all the aura of the two.

After making these preparations, Shen Bingling began to cast a spell to activate the "green lotus platform" under her feet, leading everyone to quickly escape to the northwest.

This is the first time that Song Qingming has come to the "Northern Frontier" since he started practicing.

When the "Blue Lotus Platform" passed through the sea below and entered the land, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, they were far away from the human cultivators' territory, and all around them were extremely dangerous monster territories. If something happened and exposed everyone in advance, they might be besieged by monster masters at any time.

At that time, let alone helping Xia Mo search for high-level spiritual objects, it would be unknown whether everyone could successfully escape from the "Northern Frontier".

Fortunately, after the "Green Lotus Platform" carried everyone into the northern border, they encountered many monsters along the way.

However, after everyone cast spells to conceal their aura, these monsters were unable to sense any trace of Song Qingming and others in the air.

However, compared to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" which borders the human race, the number and types of monsters in the "Northern Frontier" are indeed much greater.

After walking only a thousand miles, Song Qingming and his companions encountered many monsters that even he could not recognize at first.

Among them was a strange demon king whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. He flew past not far below them, which really made Song Qingming nervous for a while, fearing that the demon king would discover their whereabouts.

Even though they had so many Nascent Soul cultivators, they could easily kill a mere Golden Core middle stage demon king.

However, being in a very dangerous place like "Northern Frontier", even if people have the ability, they dare not take action unless it is absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, if the noise of the fight attracted other high-level monsters and revealed everyone's whereabouts, it would be a loss for them.

Fortunately, there was no danger. Everyone had already concealed their own aura in advance, and Shen Bingling's "Green Lotus Platform" was also a high-level flying boat that could hide the body.

As long as they don’t encounter those demon kings with special perception abilities, or the more powerful Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, it is difficult for demon beasts below ordinary demon kings to discover them.

The group rode on the "Blue Lotus Platform" all the way westward, and after more than a month's journey, they finally arrived above a huge valley.

After arriving here, Shen Bingling immediately took the initiative to control the flying boat to land and stopped on a mountain peak next to the valley.

Seeing the flying boat stopped, Wang Lingji, who was standing nearby, quickly jumped off the lotus platform and stepped forward to ask:

"Fellow Daoist Xia, have you arrived at the place you mentioned?"

"Yes! This is it.

Everyone, the thing I want to take is in the valley ahead, but this thing is a little special and it is difficult to find its trace under normal circumstances.

We still have to wait for the full moon before we can act together."

“When the moon is full!
What exactly is Fellow Daoist Xia looking for, and why does it only appear when the moon is full?

I have been practicing for many years and know a thing or two about high-level spiritual objects in the world, but I have never heard of such a thing. I wonder if you can help me understand it?"

Seeing Wang Lingji and Song Qingming both looking at her with curiosity, Xia Mo did not hide anything and explained directly to everyone:

“Now that we’re all here, there’s nothing to hide from you.

The elixir I want to find is called Earth Green Moon White. It is very good at camouflage and usually looks no different from the plants and trees in the mountains, making it impossible to find its trace.

Only when the moon is full in winter will it change color to absorb the moon's spiritual light.

The Earth Blue Moon White is extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation. Only in the northern border of our Donghuang Xianzhou can this thing be found. It is normal that Fellow Daoist Wang has never heard of it. "

"Oh! I see. I have learned a lot today."

Wang Lingji bowed slightly, looked at the valley in front of him and continued to ask, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I have another question.

Since this spiritual object has reached the fourth-level intermediate grade, there should be a demon king guarding the valley ahead!"

Hearing Wang Lingji's question, Shen Bingling, who was standing next to Xia Mo, immediately nodded and said:

“Fellow Daoist Wang is right. A place like this where spiritual creatures above level four can be born must have a demon king nearby.

However, fellow Taoists, rest assured that most of the demon kings in the demon clan will not tolerate two tigers in one mountain, and will only occupy their own territories.

There will only be one demon king in this valley at most. There are five of us traveling together. As long as we don’t encounter those demon clan masters in the late Nascent Soul stage, it won’t be difficult to obtain this spiritual medicine.”

"Well! Since we are here, we must help.

At that time, Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Song and I will be responsible for restraining the Demon King, and you two Fellow Daoists can just go and get the elixir.

However, the old Taoist said before, if there is really a powerful demon in the late Nascent Soul stage in the valley, it would be difficult for us to snatch food from its mouth, so I hope you two can retreat when faced with difficulties and do not covet spiritual objects. "

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. If this is the case, we can only blame our bad luck for coming at the wrong time. Junior Sister Xia and I will definitely not force it."

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the difficulty of each advancement in cultivation will increase exponentially, and there will also be a big difference in fighting ability.

Cultivators who can cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, whether they are human or demon, are basically the top geniuses among Nascent Soul cultivators.

It is not so bad between the early and middle Nascent Soul stage, the difference in the growth of the cultivator's own cultivation and mana will not be too big.

However, when the cultivation reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, the cultivator can cultivate an external incarnation, as well as many other powerful magical powers, and the increase in magic power will far exceed that of the average Nascent Soul middle stage cultivator.

Although there are five Nascent Soul cultivators this time, even if Song Qingming and his four companions join forces, it is not an easy task to defeat a Demon King in the late Nascent Soul stage.

This was also the only trace of worry Jin Xuanzi expressed after hearing that there was a Demon King guarding the valley.

After getting the answer he wanted from Shen Bingling, Jin Xuanzi's face gradually relaxed. They all found a secluded place on the mountain, sat down and waited patiently.

After waiting for more than ten days, it finally reached the middle of the month.

Seeing the bright moon emerging from the dark clouds above her head, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Xia Mo's face.

"My fellow Taoists, it's almost time. We can enter the valley early!"

Hearing Xia Mo's confirmation, everyone stood up, with excitement showing on their faces.

Soon, with flashes of light, the five people left the place together and flew quietly into the valley ahead.

When the moon is full, the bright moonlight in the sky is exceptionally bright, shining into the valley. Even if Song Qingming stands in mid-air, he can see it clearly.

After everyone entered the valley, they soon encountered many monsters patrolling the valley.

At first, when facing these low-level monsters, everyone was able to hide their bodies, until they passed a hill, when suddenly a huge fireball flew under their feet.

Shen Bingling and Xia Mo, who were walking in front, were forced to cast spells to resist, and suddenly they revealed their traces in mid-air.

Seeing a winged demon king in the late Jindan stage flying towards them quickly, Wang Lingji immediately swung out a sword and knocked the demon king back.

This attack immediately alarmed the many monsters below, and soon the valley below became lively with the shouts of monsters everywhere.

"My two Taoist friends, go and search for the elixir quickly, and leave the rest to us!"

Seeing that their tracks had been exposed, everyone simply revealed their figures in mid-air, no longer hiding their aura, and quickly fled deep into the valley.

The five of them were all cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Faced with the siege of numerous low-level monsters in the valley, it was simply impossible to stop their progress.

After walking forward for a few dozen miles, the screams of monsters continued to be heard along the way, but there were still many monsters chasing after him in the moonlight.

Just when Song Qingming and his companions arrived deep in the valley, a beam of light suddenly appeared in front of them. A silver-haired man with a half-naked upper body and silver scales on his shoulders suddenly flashed in front of them and blocked their way.

"Human cultivators, how dare you come to my demon territory to cause trouble? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Seeing that the aura of everyone was that of a human cultivator, the silver-haired man was surprised. He frowned and asked a question in a stern voice, then immediately let out an angry roar, awakening the many monsters that were still sleeping in the mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, rest assured to do your job. We will take care of this monster!"

Seeing the silver-haired man leading many monsters to surround him, Jin Xuanzi immediately flew out a golden whisk from his hand, from which hundreds of golden rays of light shot out and turned into silk threads, which instantly entangled dozens of monsters rushing in the front.

Song Qingming and Wang Lingji took out their magic weapons without waiting for everyone to speak, and stepped forward tacitly to stop the silver-haired man who was leading the group.

The silver-haired man's cultivation level is only the fourth level of the Nascent Soul, and he has just advanced to the middle level of the Nascent Soul not long ago.

Faced with the obstruction of Song Qingming and Wang Lingji, he could only cope with it with difficulty and was unable to stop Xia Mo and Shen Bingling who had already gone to the valley to search for spiritual objects.

The low-level monsters and demon kings in the valley below were also unable to move forward and were firmly blocked in place when faced with the restraint of Jin Xuanzi, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

At this time, Xia Mo and Shen Bingling, who were in the depths of the valley, were dealing with the monsters that occasionally attacked from below while constantly scanning the valley.

As a result, after wandering around in the depths of the valley for most of the time, although they found a lot of high-level spiritual medicines, they still couldn't find any trace of "Earth Green Moon White". The two of them couldn't help but look a little anxious.

When passing by a mountain wall, Xia Mo suddenly saw a flash of white light in the stone wall below, and immediately stopped and fell from mid-air.

Standing on top of the stone wall and looking up, I saw a snow-white spiritual herb in the cave below, greedily absorbing the moonlight shining in.

"Finally found you!"

Seeing that the spiritual object she was looking for was below, Xia Mo's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she jumped into the cave in a flash.
