The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 71: The chance encounter leads the snake out of its hole

Deep in the vast North Sea, the sea breeze whistled and blew, rolling up thousands of waves out of thin air.

A black-robed figure stood high in the sky, overlooking the endless blue sea below, and the lake in his heart was as surging as the North Sea.

"After years away from the Water Palace, my cultivation has undergone a complete transformation. It's time to go back."

Lei Zhan felt the strong wind above the sea, and his mind flew to a very distant island along with the wind and waves.

"However, I still have to go to Beihai County before I go back." Lei Zhan raised his hands, as if cast from white jade. "My body of divine demons is about to break through to the level of the primordial spirit, and I can also cultivate the Star-Picking Hand to the third level. I also have a second primordial spirit, which can also cultivate the magical power of the Star-Picking Hand..."

Lei Zhan had already made a plan in his mind. Before returning to Qianqiu Island, he naturally had to go to Tianbao Mountain.

Of course, going to Tianbao Mountain is not just about buying treasures and rare items that contain the essence of the five elements.

As for the things that are still left in the Jinwu Cave Mansion, and the Fairy Wangshu who is still practicing in seclusion... Leizhan will naturally come back after he refines the Water Mansion.

After all, the stone platform that helped the second soul comprehend the element of fire was enough to make Leizhan come back again.

Not to mention the numerous restrictions in the cave, which even the gods and immortals dare not easily enter. But they all cost countless precious materials to set up, and they are all good things!

Wow.

With a thought, the magical power "Fleeting Light" was immediately displayed. Lei Zhan seemed to turn into a ray of light, and in an instant, it flew to the end of a very distant place.

……

Beihai County.

A black-robed figure flew over the ancient city, heading straight towards the most prosperous West City.

There, there is a huge mountain standing tall.

"Mother, didn't you say earlier that Beihai County City is the core of our Beihai County, and no immortal cultivators can fly over the city?"

In the bustling crowd, a girl with a Taoist bun was following a pretty woman, and next to the woman was an old, dark-faced man.

"Lian'er, your mother is right." The dark-faced man looked up at the man in black robe who was streaking across the sky like a meteor, his eyes full of gentleness.

"Ordinary immortal cultivators are indeed unable to fly in this Beihai County City. But that person should be a powerful Taoist master, or... a legendary immortal!"

"Immortal?" The little girl called Lian'er looked longingly. "Lian'er will also become an immortal in the future! She will also fly over this city!"

The old, dark-faced man looked at the girl and said, "Lian'er is a rare talent in the Black Water Tribe. Just wait until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. She will be able to successfully join the sect like your mother, and in the future she will be able to fly over the county city like that immortal!"

"Father~" Hei Shuiyun looked at the dark-faced man, "Lian'er is extremely talented. If she joins the sect in the first month of the year, she can naturally join the top-notch Qianhai Sword Sect! At least, don't be like me."

"Grandpa, Mother!" Hei Shui Lian's eyes were filled with solemnity, "Lian'er will definitely join the Qianhai Sword Sect!"

Although she didn't know how powerful the Qianhai Sword Sect was, as long as her mother and her grandfather, who was very kind to her, said so, she would definitely not let them down!

"Huh!" The girl's light steps suddenly paused, and she immediately sensed a Buddha with endless light appearing in her memory. She just "looked" at the Buddha and felt wrapped in endless warmth.

……

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan glanced down at the surging crowd like a river, and immediately saw the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the crowd.

"Is it them? The woman back then has a child now?" Leizhan showed a slight smile on his face, and with a thought, he casually transmitted a piece of information into the girl's soul.

When Leizhan was just starting out, he encountered a great demon causing trouble. However, he thought of his own childhood when his tribe was also destroyed by a demon that caused trouble. In addition, the earth-level magic weapon offered by the Black Water Tribe was indeed tempting, so he made a small deal.

To Lei Zhan, he was just a stranger who met him by chance. Now that they met again, he was no longer the Purple Mansion cultivator who had ventured out to explore the world.

Just giving a method of soul visualization is just to end this good relationship.

……

Soon, Leizhan landed on Tianbao Mountain.

Suddenly, a maid with the cultivation level of Wanxiang Zhenren and a beautiful appearance came forward.

"Senior, are you coming to Tianbao Mountain to buy or sell treasures? Or perhaps to acquire intelligence?"

The maid smiled widely. Anyone who could ignore the Beihai County City's forbidden air formation must be at least a Taoist master.

Many cultivators come to the North Sea to explore, and there are also people with good fortune who have entered the caves of their predecessors. Therefore, there are many cultivators who buy and sell treasures in Tianbao Mountain.

"I do need to sell some magic weapons and buy some treasures. But..."

Lei Zhan looked at the maid and said, "I need to buy and sell something for a huge amount, and you can't make the decision. Ask your superior deacon to come over."

The treasure that Lei Zhan wanted to buy and sell was worth at least tens of millions of kilograms of Yuanye. Such transactions were usually handled by the Tianbao Mountain deacon at the Yuanshen Taoist level.

"Yes!" the maid replied respectfully, and then led Lei Zhan into a quiet hall.

After serving tea respectfully, the maid slowly retreated.

When she left, there was a subtle envy in the maid's eyes, and she thought to herself that she was another lucky person who had inherited the ancient legacy.

……

In just a moment, a beautiful woman wearing the purple robe unique to Tianbao Mountain walked into the hall.

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Xuanyu, and I'm a deacon at Tianbao Mountain." The purple-robed woman looked at Leizhan with a bright smile on her face. "Fellow Daoist Xuanyu." Leizhan nodded slightly.

The purple-robed woman in front of him had not restrained her aura at all. She was actually a Taoist priest with the same level of cultivation as the one he had revealed.

Yes, when Leizhan came to Tianbao Mountain, he naturally would not be foolish enough to reveal all his cultivation.

The aura emanating from his body was just that of an ordinary Yuanshen Taoist in the middle stage of cultivation.

Taoist Yuanshen doesn’t look too strong, but of course he doesn’t look too weak either.

In addition to buying and selling magic weapons, people come to Tianbao Mountain to buy rare objects containing the essence of the five elements.

More importantly, it is to show some strength and alert those forces that have been buying intelligence from Master Ju Hua for many years and developing their own intelligence.

Being secretly spied on by a venomous snake is not Leizhan's usual style.

However, revealing the aura of a Taoist master at the level of Yuanshen was just enough to alert the enemy.

It will neither make those forces feel fearful nor attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

Of course, although Tianbao Mountain's intelligence is powerful, if one cannot use extremely advanced exploration techniques to forcibly explore Lei Zhan's cultivation, relying solely on perception, one can only see the cultivation that Lei Zhan reveals on the surface.

Leizhan's original body and second soul are both at the Return to Void level, and he practices the most advanced Qi training method.

At the late stage of Qi training and returning to the void, one can rival the gods and demons at the late stage of returning to the void who have cultivated the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu. Their souls are so powerful that even the minds of some celestial beings are difficult to match.

If you try to forcibly investigate Lei Zhan's cultivation level, he will definitely notice it immediately.

"Fellow Taoist, you have come to my Tianbao Mountain. I wonder what treasures you want to buy. And what magic weapons you want to sell." Taoist Xuanyu looked at Lei Zhan with a smile.

Taoist Xuanyu had naturally seen many Yuanshen Taoists who came to buy and sell treasures. Just the demeanor displayed by Leizhan made her feel a little excited.

As long as the treasures are sold through her hands, or the treasures are purchased in Tianbao Mountain, she can get some rewards, and this reward is related to the transaction amount.

The bigger the amount, the bigger her reward.

Lei Zhan said nothing, but waved his sleeves, and suddenly a huge pile of magic weapons appeared on the ground.

Most of these magical weapons were earth-grade, but there were also quite a few heaven-grade ones, and there were even many top-grade magical weapons.

Lei Zhan has now broken through to the Return to Void level, so he needs to use at least the best immortal-level magic weapon, although there are only more than ten of them. However, the large number of low-level magic weapons he has obtained are of no use in his hands, so it is just right to deal with them together.

"This, so much!" Xuanyu Taoist's smile froze, but then it brightened in an instant. Just by visual estimation, these treasures before him were worth at least a million yuan.

"Well. Take a look first and see what the selling price is." Leizhan nodded slightly.

"Huahuahua."

The magic weapons were quickly classified.

Taoist Xuanyu looked at each magic weapon carefully. The Yuanshen Taoist who could serve as a deacon in Tianbao Mountain was far from an ordinary cultivator. Although he had many magic weapons, the Yuanshen Taoist at least had spiritual awareness, and his speed was not slow.

Only half an hour.

"There are over 50,000 earth-grade magic weapons and over 1,100 heaven-grade magic weapons." Taoist Xuanyu looked at the display. "Do you want to trade all these magic weapons?"

The more he counted, the more shocked Taoist Xuanyu became. Among this vast amount of magic weapons, there were many top-grade ones.

For example, one sword formation she had seen contained seven hundred and twenty swords from the same clan. Each one was a top-tier Earth-grade magical weapon. Each sword was worth at least five or six thousand kilograms of essence fluid, and a complete sword formation with a formation plate was even more valuable! It was almost as valuable as an Immortal-grade magical weapon.

Whether it is placed in the Beihai branch of Tianbao Mountain or the headquarters, it can be regarded as the treasure of the mountain.

“Sell them all!”

Leizhan had a faint smile on his face. "First, exchange some of the Five Elements artifacts on this scroll for me. As for the rest, exchange them for high-grade immortal-level elixirs."

Leizhan said this and threw a scroll to Taoist Xuanyu.

Taoist Xuanyu casually took the scroll and said, "Are they all rare items containing the essence of the five elements? Although this pile of magic weapons of yours is worth a lot, a top-grade immortal elixir is equivalent to a mid-grade immortal magic weapon, so it can't be exchanged for many..."

"It's okay." Leizhan smiled. Although he was not as professional as Tianbaoshan, he could roughly assess the value of these magic weapons.

Not to mention anything else, the Disha Hunyuan Sword Formation he took out from the Water Palace was worth an immortal-level magic weapon.

These magical treasures were at least left by a celestial god, not treasures left by celestial immortals or scattered immortals. Even the earth-level magical treasures were mostly of high quality, and there were even some of the best quality magical treasures.

The same is true for the more than one thousand heavenly-grade magic weapons.

This is what is left after Leizhan kept some of the most exquisite and precious heavenly-grade magic weapons.

"Okay." Taoist Xuanyu smiled brightly, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. There are too many of these rare items, and it will take some time to collect them."

Leizhan nodded and sat in the hall, drinking tea slowly.

And those magic weapons were piled up in the hall, waiting to be traded.
