Located in a desolate and uninhabited land for thousands of miles, the mountain is 999 feet high. Three sides are steep and unreachable, and only one side is passable.
On the passable side, there are 9999 steps, starting from the ground and winding up to the top of the mountain. The last step is flush with the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is like a mountain that has been cut off by someone with supreme power. The entire top of the mountain is one mile in radius. Except for a few stone houses at the corners, it is like a flat surface.
The name of the mountain is Yuanding Mountain, an ordinary and popular name, but in the eyes of some people it is indeed a place of extraordinary significance.
In a sense, it can be regarded as the central area of this world.
Outside the stone house at the top of Yuanding Mountain, stood a young man with sword eyes and starry eyebrows, a handsome figure, and a long figure carrying a sword. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, with cloud-like pictures embroidered on the hem and cuffs of his clothes.
Wearing a jade crown on his head, auspicious cloud boots on his feet, and a palm-sized black storage bag hanging on his waist, the color of the storage bag does not match.
Holding a paper fan with a picture of a lady in his hand, he slowly fanned the wind and looked up at the sky in the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't look at the sword on his back and the black storage bag on his waist.
This picture is definitely the image of a handsome young man with a good face and figure.
The sword can be put into the storage bag, but as a swordsman, generally no one does this.
As for the unsightly storage bags, there's nothing you can do about it. The smallest storage bag is a low-level storage bag. It doesn't have much space. Every handyman in the Liuyun Sect can have one. The larger ones are called storage bags, and the internal space is small.
It is rare, but not uncommon. As for other better storage instruments, they are really rare and hard to come by.
"It's been seven days. Uncle Ji has been out for seven days!" At a certain moment, the young man sighed, and then asked, "Isn't he going to be back soon?"
"Short time? I'm afraid I won't come back until the last minute!" A voice came from behind the man. Following the words, a handsome man wearing similar clothes walked up to the young man.
"Why did Senior Brother Jiang say this?"
"Junior Brother He has not been in the sect before, so I don't know anything. Before I say anything, I want to ask you a question." After a pause, Senior Brother Jiang slowly said: "Is the Zhuyan Pill important to us monks or not?"
"Is it important or not?" This answer is ambiguous, but it is also true.
Immortal cultivators cultivate their bodies and minds, but the road to immortality is long, and time makes their appearance age. Immortal cultivators are no exception. Although it is irreversible, it can be slowed down. Some heavenly materials and earthly treasures have the effect of delaying aging.
Immortal cultivators originally wanted to change their fate against the will of heaven. Finally, a kind of elixir was born in the world of immortality cultivators: Zhuyan Dan.
After taking one pill, no matter what your age, your appearance will remain unchanged for twenty years. Twenty years later, if you want to keep it the same, take another pill.
But this is only for low-level monks in the Qi training stage. During the foundation building stage, they must take at least three pills at a time to maintain the same condition for fifteen years.
For higher-level monks, the effect is even worse. No matter how much it is used, it can no longer maintain the beauty effect, but only slows down the rate of aging.
Later, the Perfect Beauty Pill appeared based on the ordinary Beauty Pill, which can restore the appearance no matter what kind of cultivation level.
The Perfect Beauty Pill has a powerful effect. If you take one pill during the qi training period, if you don’t break through the qi training period until you die, you can maintain your beauty until death.
In the foundation building stage, if you eat it in one go, it may not be enough to kill you, but it is basically the same.
In the history of cultivation, some cultivators in the tribulation period have taken it, and they have maintained the beauty-preserving effect for five years.
Ordinary beauty pills have easy-to-obtain materials and are not very expensive to buy, but the perfect beauty pills have hard-to-find materials, a single pill is hard to come by, and they are expensive but not marketable.
Therefore, the immortal cultivator surnamed He said it is important or not, because as long as you don't care about your appearance, then this beauty pill is really useless.
Low-level monks may look at old-looking immortal cultivators strangely, but those who have reached high-level monks will definitely not, because many high-level monks don't care much about their appearance.
Maybe he is dedicated to cultivating immortality.
Only they themselves know whether the perfect beauty elixir is too hard to find.!
"What about the female monk?" Senior Brother Jiang asked again.
"You mean Uncle Ji?" Junior Brother He responded quickly.
The young man surnamed Jiang did not give up any more, but said directly: "No matter what formula of Zhuyan Dan, it needs Zhuyan grass as the main component, and Zhuyan grass is suitable for the low-spirited environment of this mortal world, and in recent years,
In the three mortal realms under the sect, fewer and fewer high-level beauty-resident grasses have been discovered."
"The sect has fewer and fewer Perfect Beauty Pills. Even if a reward is issued, some senior brothers and sisters have personally searched for them over the years, but with little success. As a last resort, the sect announced before that it has changed the number of Perfect Beauty Pills.
There is a quota, and Master Ji, as a newly promoted Jindan, does not have a quota for Zhuyan Dan."
After hearing this, Junior Brother He suddenly realized: "What I said, it was just an ordinary collection task, but Master Ji came in person. Even if this collection task brought a large storage magic weapon, it would not be like this."
Then he sighed: "Although Master Uncle Ji has a cold temperament, if his appearance continues to age in the future, and he changes from a fairy respected by everyone in the Liuyun Sect to an old woman in his twilight years..."
After a brief pause, he said: "So Uncle Ji went to look for the Zhuyan grass himself? The green Zhuyan grass is easy to find. I can find dozens of them a day. There are always people in the Immortal Cultivation Family here who eat this kind of Zhuyan grass.
It has some rejuvenating effect, but higher-quality rejuvenating grass will not be found for decades without a certain amount of luck.”
"What's more, Uncle Ji will only be leading the team for more than two months at most." Senior Brother Jiang added.
"So it shouldn't be a problem if we go out for a walk?"
"um, yes."
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding.
They are ordinary disciples of the Liuyun Sect. Every three years, the Liuyun Sect sends disciples here to collect supplies from the immortal cultivating family that controls the mortal world here.
Each time there was a team leader, two formal disciples, and ten sect servants.
This Yuanding Mountain is a teleportation place specially created by the Liuyun Sect. Starting the teleportation from here, you can directly reach the Liuyun Sect. The area of the top of the mountain, the height of the mountain, and even the number of steps are all meaningful.
When the Yuanding Mountain Teleportation Array was established, in order to reduce losses, it was divided into two transmission methods, one for transmission with less than 20 people, and one for less than 120 people.
When Liuyun Sect monks come, they usually teleport with less than twenty people. On average, a large teleportation occurs every fifteen years. This mainly depends on how long it takes for the cultivating families in the mortal world to reach unity and gather together the number of people and resources.
The two Liuyun Sect disciples began to argue about where to go to have fun. Since the formation was in a desolate place, there was really no fun. Although the cultivation families from the mortal world would soon come one after another, it was not that they looked down on them.
Neither of them said a word, and neither of them dared to climb the first step.
As for whether there will be any surprises if they leave?
These families in the mortal realm are not much stronger than mortals. Any of their handymen can defeat a group of other people, so there won't be any surprises.
If there is, then it is probably the biggest surprise for them.
As for the team leader, Uncle Ji? He’s gone looking for trouble and won’t come back.
