The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 13: Obtaining Xian Linglong from the Northern Holy City

The Holy City of the Northern Territory.

This is the absolute center of this red land, as famous as the Taichu Ancient Mine, and is revered as a sacred place by the residents of the Northern Territory.

Surrounding the city is a vast oasis, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Many towns surround the holy city, dotted like pearls.

And unlike other states, no matter how daring the bandits are, they dare not come to this oasis to plunder, because the holy places and many noble families have their bases here, which is absolutely not allowed.

The north wind howled, stirring up a cloud of dust that ravaged the earth. The mountains in the distance were shrouded in a layer of light mist, appearing even more desolate.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if snowflakes would fall at any time. There were few pedestrians, and the occasional sound of horses neighing added a sense of desolation and loneliness.

Ning Qingyi came from afar. Compared with three months ago, he was in high spirits, but there was a hint of indifference in his eyes. He exuded murderous aura, giving people a cold feeling.

Three months ago, after he decided to conquer the earth, he first wiped out those sects. After he used his telepathy to distinguish the sins and hostility of the sects, there were only a few kittens left.

Then he determined the direction and killed hundreds of bandits coming from afar.

The strongest among them was undoubtedly a cultivator from the third level of the Four Extremes. In that battle, in addition to his invincible golden body, he also used the Five Elements Divine Light to kill his enemy.

Afterwards he learned that the other party was a force of the thirteen major bandits that were rampant in the Northern Territory. They were targeted because he had killed many bandits recently.

It was after this battle that he decided to take the Holy City as his direction and fought bloody battles all the way.

It was not until he was almost there that he found a town to rest and continued on his way.

The road leading to the holy city is very wide, wide enough for more than a dozen carriages to pass side by side. In addition to the residents of the Northern Territory who are on their way, there are monks flying through the sky from time to time.

As they got closer, they saw strange beasts running on the road as fast as wind and lightning, and most of the people coming and going were cultivators.

There were even knights with different flags, riding their beasts, stepping in the air, whistling and advancing like a tide. The gusts of wind they stirred up messed up the hair of many people on the road, attracting angry glares from passers-by.

When Ning Qing looked up, he could clearly see the knights and the strange beasts with their feet exposed several meters above them. They did not care about the feelings of the people on the road at all, which showed the knights' recklessness.

"Which ancient family's disciple is this again? He's so arrogant." Someone whispered dissatisfiedly.

"He is from the Beiyuan Golden Family. Say less, otherwise it will cause disaster." Someone advised.

"Humph! I heard that some members of the Golden Family were killed in the Holy City War a while ago. Maybe they are here to collect the bodies." Some people gloated over the misfortune.

"Shh, keep quiet, don't really cause trouble."

The north wind continued to howl, sweeping away all the secrets from the mouths of passers-by. Ning Qingyi pondered for a moment and continued on his way quietly.

Not long after, he finally arrived in the holy city.

The ancient city stands majestically on the vast landscape, like an impenetrable fortress. Its walls soar into the clouds, like a sleeping dragon lying across the earth, winding their way as far as the eye can see. The massive city gate, carved from massive stone, is heavy and sturdy, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

From a distance, this huge ancient city seems like a giant beast connecting heaven and earth. It stands there quietly, giving people a strong sense of oppression and making people feel awe.

"This is the center of the Northern Territory..."

Ning Qingyi was also stunned. Such a magnificent building could never be seen on Earth. Moreover, this holy city was not only magnificent and majestic, but it also profoundly influenced the surrounding landscape.

There was a lush green area within a radius of 150 miles, with towering ancient trees reaching hundreds of meters high. Warm breezes blew on my face, spiritual springs gurgled, and the spiritual energy was extremely rich.

Ning Qing entered the city and walked like an ordinary person.

He was very interested in such architecture. He saw wide ancient streets, numerous palaces, and from time to time, a vast palace with carved beams and painted buildings, like an imperial palace. There were also gambling stone shops, immortal buildings, and romantic palaces. Everything you could think of was there.

What passersby talked about were either the romantic affairs of the Zhongzhou royal family, or the Beiyuan Golden Family showing off their martial arts, or even the secrets of the Nanling barbarians and the holy places in the East Wilderness.

One wonders whether this passerby is a descendant of an ancient family.

Ning Qingyi found an inn and sat down with Hua Yuan in the lobby.

It is said to be an inn, but in fact it is a palace with magnificent gardens, towering buildings and golden splendor.

A waiter came over and asked Ning Qingyi in a low voice what he needed.

"This is my first time in the Holy City. Tell me about it."

The waiter was beaming with joy, because Ning Qingyi was very generous and directly gave him several kilograms of source. His generosity made people suspect that he was a disciple of a holy family.

He introduced the characteristics of the holy city with a smile, told Ning Qingyi the locations of some famous forces, and also told him some simple common sense and interesting things that had happened recently.

Ning Qingyi seemed to be thinking about something. After all the dishes were served, he asked him to leave and used his telepathy to eavesdrop on various secrets, and even heard a lot of secrets.

"Have you heard about the recent discovery of the Green Emperor's Tomb in the Eastern Wasteland?"

"How could I not know? I heard that the demon princess Yan Ruyu used her ancestral methods to summon back the Chaos Azure Lotus, the Azure Emperor's weapon."

"Emperor's Soldier! This is the reappearance of the Dao Fruit of the ancient Great Emperor. The Great Demon Emperor Qingdi, who has been around for thousands of years, has truly brought the heavens to a state of silence with his killing spree. I never thought that such a figure would also meet his end."

Ning Qingyi's eyes flashed. Has the Green Emperor's Tomb finally been unearthed? Who knew who would eventually get the green copper fragments and the Taoist scriptures?

Just as he was thinking carefully, he caught a key word in his ears.

"Have you heard? The Blessed Sacrament has reappeared in the world."

"Could it be the peerless holy body that produced nine generations of invincible figures in the ancient times?"

"I've heard that when a person with this kind of physique reaches great perfection, their golden energy and blood can transform into a precious medicine that is priceless."

"What a pity. After the ancient times, it was difficult to cultivate the Holy Body. It would be difficult to show that kind of invincible power again."

Ancient Saint Body, is that Ye Fan? Sure enough, this kid can't stand loneliness.

"It's said that a new bandit has emerged from the Northern Territory, specializing in robbing other bandits. He's called the Bloody Hand Slayer."

"I also heard that someone from the Thirteen Bandits was killed. There are rumors that someone from the Bandits is preparing to issue a bounty."

"I didn't expect that bandits would offer a bounty on others. It's really a strange thing."

Ning Qingyi's face froze. He had just said Ye Fan was restless, and now it was his turn. However, even the big bandits were offering a reward for him. It seemed that he was too conspicuous.

It's time to let the Bloody Hand Butcher go offline. The next one to come online is Ning Qingyi, the successor of Luofu Mountain.

After Ning Qing finished his meal, he spent another three days going in and out of the nearby gambling stone shop. Then he sighed, gambling on stones, it turned out that gambling is the key, and he lost more than ten kilograms of stone.

His face darkened. If he wasn't afraid of getting trapped in the Purple Mountain, he would have gone to the descendants of Yuan Tianshi to borrow the stone clothes to try his luck.

It was not until a few days later that he stepped into a gambling stone shop after careful planning.

This is the Ji Family Stone Archway, which covers a vast area and stretches out like a royal garden with pleasant scenery. Many stones are piled here naturally. From time to time, people gather around a few stones, and some even shout loudly, asking for divine sources, divine medicines, and rare treasures.

Ning Qing watched for a long time, turning into a passerby emperor, commenting on the stuff that was revealed from time to time, until he became interested, and then he moved towards his goal.

He entered the eighteenth level and walked towards the deepest Tianzi Stone Garden.

There is a lake here, and in the middle of the lake there is a small island, only a few hundred meters in radius. It is covered with colorful fallen petals and has a fragrant smell. It is as beautiful as a divine land, almost dreamy.

There were a few people standing here, with more guards than people watching the stones. They were naturally surprised to see such a young boy coming in. "Young man, are you here to gamble on the stones?"

An old man appeared in front of Ning Qingyi, and his voice showed no emotion.

Ning Qingyi couldn't feel the other party's specific strength, which showed that he was at least an elder of the Ji family who had reached the level of dragon transformation or above.

"That's right, I'm here to gamble on stones." Ning Qingyi said frankly.

As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked over and looked at him in surprise.

The old man of the Ji family looked him up and down, frowned, and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that he, who practiced the Emperor's Scripture, could not see through the young man in front of him.

"The Tianzi Stone Garden is ahead, my friend, please be prepared."

Ning Qing nodded slightly and took out the Fire God Furnace, only to see that it was filled with pure source.

The old man of the Ji family took a quick look with his spiritual sense and was a little surprised, but still nodded and asked someone to take Ning Qingyi to the island. This surprised the people nearby, and they quickly sent someone out to notify them that someone from the Ji family's Tianzi Garden had arrived.

As soon as he got on the island, he saw several old men surrounding him.

"Young man, are you here to cut up this rare divine treasure?"

"Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Another one came up with a smile and said, "There are a lot of good things here. We are all thinking about them. Do you want to come and take a look, young man?"

Hearing them say this, not only the people in Ji Family Stone Workshop were speechless, even Ning Qingyi secretly complained, they were really making fun of others, the stones here would easily cost hundreds of thousands of kilograms, were they kidding?

Despite this, Ning Qingyi still expressed his gratitude to them and smiled: "Seniors, you are joking. I am here just to gain experience. As for which stone to open, the elders in the sect have already given instructions."

The eyes of several old men flashed, and they looked at Ning Qingyi thoughtfully. Divine power burst out of their eyes, and it was obvious that they were using some secret technique.

Just as his gaze was about to penetrate, Ning Qing's sea of ​​thought, the purple gold bowl from Lingshan emitted light, blocking the old man's vision.

"Holy Soldier!"

He was a little surprised.

Ning Qingyi's expression was almost unbearable, but he still said, "My master was afraid that I would be in danger, so before he left, he lent me a broken sacred weapon from his ancestors to protect me."

The old man's face was a little gloomy, and he finally walked away in anger, causing the other old men to laugh.

Ning Qingyi ignored them and took a walk around the island first.

The first thing that caught his eye was a dragon-head stone, the size of a millstone, faintly shrouded in dragon energy. If nothing went wrong, it must contain a dragon ball, imbued with the power of an imperial dragon.

In the sunny place, there is a big stone with a deep Bagua pattern engraved on it. This stone and another stone with the peerless beauty are both fake stones with nothing on them.

There are also gourd-shaped stones and stones that represent the ascension of the white tiger.

After Ning Qingyi took a walk around, he was feasting his eyes on the stones and was amazed at them.

Although these stones look extraordinary, if nothing unexpected happens, most of them will lose money. Even the stones he wants to choose are considered money-losing items in everyone's eyes.

When Ning Qingyi reached his goal, he saw a spiritual spring.

In the spring water there is a rare stone weighing over 100 kilograms and of great value. Its whole body is green-brown in color. When the spring water hits it, it makes a pleasant sound, as if it is playing a piano tune.

"Senior, could this stone be the Heavenly Sound Stone?"

The Ji family elder nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Heavenly Sound Stone, and it is worth 80,000 jin of source."

Ning Qing nodded and said, "This is 80,000 jin of source. Please ask someone to open the stone."

He threw out 24 cubic catties, which was exactly 80,000 catties. This made many old men who had scattered come back.

“I didn’t expect to actually have to cut stone.”

“It’s actually this stone.”

The old man of the Ji family glanced at him, accepted the 80,000 kilograms of source, and then asked someone to cut it.

The stone cutter of the Ji family was obviously an old hand. He held a knife between his fingers and kept cutting it on the Xianyin Stone. The stone skin fell off quickly and became thinner and thinner.

Suddenly, the stone made a strange sound that lasted for a long time.

One of the old men watching had a sharp look in his eyes: "There's actually a Dao Tianyin. Is it going to reveal some rare treasure?"

Others also became excited.

"Ding Dong"

When the stone cutter made its final touch, a pleasant sound was heard, stone chips flew, and the Fairy Sound Stone was completely split open, revealing the jade cocoon inside.

The stonecutter stopped and looked at Ning Qingyi.

"I'll offer you 150,000. Are you willing to keep this stone?" The old man of the Ji family suddenly spoke.

Obviously, the Ji family wanted to keep the strange stones after they were shipped out.

Many old men were furious, made a few sarcastic remarks, and then started bidding.

Ning Qingyi smiled bitterly: "Don't overthink it, everyone. I'm not a master of source arts. I knew what this stone contained before I came here. It's not some precious item."

Everyone was stunned, and the stonecutter got the signal and cut open the jade disk.

"Ding dong..."

Fairy music drifted in the air, like the sound of nature, slowly flowing by the ears. In the center of the venue, a dazzling light shone forth, dazzling and dazzling, as if a magical force was pulling the soul and making people intoxicated.

Ning Qingyi said, "My master said that this is a fairy exquisite. If it is nourished by fairy energy, it can become a peerless fairy book."

"It's Xian Linglong. I've heard of her!" an old man exclaimed.

"What a pity, I was born into the wrong world!"

The Ji family elder shook his head: "In this world, we don't even know if there are immortals, so how can we possibly find immortal energy?"

Ning Qingyi said, "Although it's just a treasure among musical instruments now, it's enough as a gift."

He took Xian Linglong and held it in his palm.

However, the chicken egg is big, perfectly round, and has nine holes on it. When it encounters the wind, it makes an extremely magical sound.

"Dear seniors, I have completed my mission. See you again someday."

After Ning Qingyi sealed Xian Linglong, he walked away again. He chose a completely opposite route from the one he came in. He walked around for a long time before leaving completely.
