Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 289: Qiongchuan River

"Opening a transmission array to the underworld requires twenty high-grade spirit stones."

"Fellow Daoist, you can also wait for other cultivators to share the expenses..."

In the southernmost part of Jueyun City, on the magnificent array platform, the dense spiritual patterns were reflected by the bright moon, appearing extremely magical.

The person on duty in front of him was a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage. She was about to continue talking about how to make it more cost-effective... but she was interrupted and stopped by Zhao Qing.

They were going to fight, not to travel, so they didn't have time to wait for others to share a ride.

"Thank you for your advice, fellow Daoist. Just open it directly."

He directly handed over twenty high-grade spirit stones and gave the other party an affirmative look.

The female cultivator hesitated for a moment and felt very sorry for Zhao Qing's waste of spirit stones.

"Then everyone, please wait on the formation platform for a moment. I will go and call the elders to activate the formation."

……

After the female cultivator left, Bai Wanqiu smiled and explained, "The transmission array in Jueyun City is jointly controlled by the three sects. They rotate the array plates at regular intervals and take turns earning the spirit stone profits."

Everyone nodded, but no one spoke, just considering it as a chance to broaden their horizons.

If dozens of cultivators were to be transferred together, twenty high-grade spirit stones wouldn't be too much...

It’s just two hundred thousand!

Zhao Qing held his aunt's wrist and stood quietly on the platform waiting.

My aunt's voice echoed in my ears: "Do you think Yongning Prefecture is more comfortable?"

"We have to go out and take a look, right?" Zhao Qing responded with a chuckle.

To be honest, he also felt that Chu was better.

Ten or twenty thousand spirit stones are enough for the normal annual expenses of building the foundation. When he was stationed in Songshan, he only earned sixty or seventy thousand spirit stones a year.

But this time, I haven't even reached Mingshangzhou yet...

The optical route cost just five or six hundred thousand.

Although it saves a lot of time, you still have to spend money everywhere when you go out these days.

And since everyone is here to help, he will definitely cover all the expenses.

Damn it!

I used to think that a few million spirit stones could last a lifetime, but the benefits promised by Blood God Peak were simply too many...

Now look at it, what a fart!

With a faint gloom in his mind, Si He smiled and said, "Is it possible that you opened it the wrong way?"

"Normally, it wouldn't cost much for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to take a flying boat and then share a car for transportation."

Zhao Qing: ???

He silently felt the scene in his mind. Qinghuan was still sobbing in Shuyue's arms, but he had long been accustomed to this situation.

Qing Huan is a tearful beauty. Although she usually smiles, she will cry like a pear blossom in the rain once her emotions fluctuate...

Zhao Qing suppressed his complicated emotions and tried to relax as much as possible. He muttered to himself, "I'm out here to kill someone, and I have to wait for a Didi ride?"

At this moment, a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar buzzing sound came to my ears.

The Niwan Palace was shaking continuously, and an uncomfortable feeling that almost tore the soul apart came over him.

The complex and mysterious formation patterns flickered around them. Several people looked at each other, put their thoughts aside and waited for the new scene.

It was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles it was from Qianhuanzhou to Mingshang. An ordinary spirit boat would take at least dozens of days to reach it, but the ferry formation could transport people and things across in an instant...

Even Liu Zijing could not ignore the discomfort brought about by this transmission across the vast universe.

The aunt's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she twisted her white wrist, which was tightly held by Zhao Qing, gently, and then turned it over to interweave her slender green fingers with his palm, and their ten fingers were tightly clasped.

Zhao Qing stopped chatting and arguing with Si He.

He held his breath and handed the small jade boat to his aunt with his other hand.

This is the magical treasure left by Lu Qing. It can transform into a flying boat of thousands of feet to protect himself. The three or five magic spells of ordinary Jindan cultivators are simply unable to shake the formation on it.

——The effect is far more powerful than a disposable amulet, and it can stay or run, and its speed is several times faster than that of an ordinary spirit boat.

This thing naturally had to be put in Xiaoyi's hands. He didn't want Qinghuan to have an accident and then his aunt would have another one.

Zhou Xiaoyi smiled lightly, understanding her man's thoughts, and allowed him to put the jade boat into her storage ring.

Before they knew it, the bright moon and stars in the distance and the intricate array patterns nearby were all frozen.

Crystal snowflakes fluttered in the air, and the whistling cold wind ravaged Xiaoyi's black hair, making it dance wildly around her ears.

The spiritual patterns that stretched from sky to earth began to flicker and gradually turned into nothingness.

The world before my eyes turned into a vast expanse of glaciers, with no end in sight. The seventeen stars in the night sky were still shining brightly, and the falling snow looked exceptionally crystal clear under the moonlight.

Mingshangzhou, Jingguo!

This is a country standing on a glacier. My aunt had already sorted out the information Kong Yang had searched for and had a plan in mind.

Zhao Qing looked around the formation platform and saw only a lonely stone pavilion standing there. There must be someone here guarding the transmission formation from being destroyed.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

"Going to Qiongchuanjian?"

He spoke in a low voice and cast an inquiring look at Bai Wanqiu.

Although my aunt had made a contingency plan a long time ago, it was only a plan based on various information and might need to be changed at any time.

But before that...

Zhao Qing firmly believes that he has a helper. Will Cha Dad suddenly appear?

Bai Wanqiu should be the one who knows best.

At this moment, the Tianxiang woman in the Jindan realm looked back at Zhao Qing and said teasingly, "What are you looking at me for?"

"You can go wherever you want, and we'll follow you."

Zhao Qing: ...

How could someone be an undercover agent and still be so stubborn?

He turned to look at Liu Zijing, and when he saw that the other party had nothing to say, he took out the apricot yellow boat and led everyone into the flying snow.

Kong Yang stood at the edge of the spirit boat, silently distinguishing the surrounding scene and matching it one by one with the jade carving in his hand to ensure that their group was still within the planned itinerary.

Moreover, as a disciple of Cuiyuan, he always uses his own connections to try to erase or cover up their itinerary and traces.

Now that I have arrived at Mingshang, the atmosphere is not as depressing and tense as I had imagined.

"Jing State is located at the border between Mingshang State and Xiuyuan State. The permafrost glaciers have existed for thousands of years." Liu Zijing rarely spoke, and it was obvious that he had made some preparations.

"It's best if we don't go to the Blood Clothes Tower in Qiongchuanjian for now."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly and steered the spirit boat deeper into the glacier.

The first stop of the underworld is the Dajingqiong River!

It was an ancient icy stream and also the largest gathering place for cultivators in Jing Country.

According to the discussion between my aunt and Kong Yang, we must at least settle down in Mingshang first, and then spend time collecting information about Liang Qing's recent movements before making a careful plan.

Before that, you definitely can't go to the Blood Robe Shop.

Although there are four Blood Robe disciples in their group, Liang Qing is also a Blood Robe disciple, so there is no guarantee that the news will not leak out or something will go wrong.

At least now they are in the dark, lying dormant and looking for opportunities.

……

Qiongchuan stream.

The boundless vast glacier breaks off here, and the broken ice in the wind and snow is crystal clear, like pieces of broken glass.

Beneath the deep ravine is another snow-white land. The dark green rocks have experienced thousands of years of wind and snow, and at a glance, they are full of mottled marks left by the years.

The towering buildings and houses are scattered across the stream like a long, dormant dragon.

Zhao Qing and his party bought a house here to settle down like ordinary cultivators.

In this deep ravine where the wind and snow are blowing, it seems that people have become a little indifferent to each other. All that can be seen is the occasional spirit boat passing by, and other than that, there is the unchanging white snow.

Qiongchuan River is located in the extreme south.

An isolated house is almost isolated from the entire market town, and the spiritual energy here is relatively thin, so few cultivators rent it... let alone buy it.

Bai Wanqiu stood in the yard and waved her long sleeves lightly, and a rich and strange fragrance spread out, which could drive away the low-level monsters nearby - if there were any.

Naturally, various formations to block spiritual consciousness and isolate spiritual energy have already been set up.

Zhao Qing didn't have to do any of these things himself. After all, he had two experienced Jindan masters following him, and his senior brothers and sisters would help correct any omissions or negligence.

There are six meditation rooms in the house. Except for Zhao Qing and his aunt who squeezed together, everyone else occupied one.

No one gathered together to discuss the matter, but just waited for Kong Yang to slowly investigate Liang Qing's recent situation.

Moreover, after running around continuously from Yongning to Qianhuan and from Qianhuan to Mingshang, Zhao Qing couldn't hold everyone back for discussions.

He and Xiaoyi are husband and wife, but the others are not, so they need some space and time to rest alone.

In the dark and quiet room, my aunt stood silently by the window watching the falling snow.

She is waiting...

Wait for Bai Wanqiu and Hong Ning to communicate, and wait for Zhao Hongning to suddenly appear in this yard.

He was also waiting for Kong Yang, waiting for Kong Yang to figure out the distribution of power in Mingshang Province, Liang Qing's movements... and even his recent experiences and connections.

When facing the underworld for the first time, everything needs to be carefully considered and the plan that is most beneficial to oneself must be chosen.

Zhao Qing sat cross-legged beside his aunt, studying the newly acquired magic technique of "Floating Shadow".

I need to hurry up and familiarize myself with this magic technique, maybe it will come in handy.

He held two jade slips in his hands, one was the practice formula for the Floating Shadow Illusion Technique, and the other was the insights into the illusion technique that Han Xiu had collected in the Yunhai lineage in recent years.

As his spiritual consciousness surged in his Niwan Palace, his long-dormant spiritual soul also underwent changes.

The mirage rock in front of him began to peel off, revealing its crystal-clear core. Zhao Qing instantly sensed a faint and twisted power and tried to absorb it with his spiritual sense...

The practice of Yunhai Huanfa was different from any other techniques he had come across before.

Not only does it use one of the cultivator's seven souls, but it also requires unique mirage energy to supply the practice.

Among all the lineages in Yujing, the Xueyi lineage's practice does not involve the seven souls at all. Instead, the Tianxiang lineage practices the seven souls.

For example, the attraction of spirit essence is a technique of enchantment, the control of Que Yin's heart is a method of union... and Tian Chong Po combined with the rhythm of the zither can affect the state of cultivators on a large scale, and so on.

Normally, it is difficult for a foundation-building cultivator to sense his own soul.

This alone is a considerable hurdle.

But Zhao Qing was obviously not among them. He was very familiar with his seven souls - after all, he had exchanged souls with Si He, and felt that strange fluctuation every day.

Following Si He's slightly rippling Yin Hua, it is easy to find the other six illusory powers.

As time slowly passed, the core of the mirage rock gradually turned into ink-black, which was caused by the absorption of mirage gas within it.

Zhao Qing closed his eyes tightly, constantly trying to use his spiritual wisdom to distort the fluctuations of his spiritual consciousness.

A full half hour passed... and he still hadn't found much.

This is obviously not something that can be accomplished overnight.

But it doesn’t matter if he didn’t succeed, at least he found some tricks.

For example... using the spiritual wisdom soul to wrap up the mirage energy and completely conceal one's own consciousness and spiritual energy fluctuations.

When he is not taking action, he is almost the same as an ordinary person.
