The mist of the setting sun shone from the horizon, illuminating the entire valley with a golden glow.
The valley is very empty. In an open space in the center of the valley, there is a giant formation covering an area of tens of feet. There are people moving around the formation. After a violent space fluctuation, a middle-aged man in gray robe appears.
At the center of the teleportation array.
Under the setting sun, a burst of dust rose from the ground, casting a unique glow over the man's body.
But such a huge movement never attracted the attention of those around him.
"This...is Damingzhou..."
The middle-aged man looked around and saw that the scene was still similar to the scene he had seen before. There were many casual cultivators setting up stalls around the teleportation array, and in front of these stalls, there were also many monks who were shopping.
This middle-aged man who is dusty and cautious, is Qin Shaoyou.
He looked like this just so that he would not attract the attention of others when teleporting. For this reason, he deliberately "dressed up" himself and waited until evening to go to Beidao.
"Fellow Taoist, you have worked hard for coming all the way. I'm sorry, if you want to rest nearby, or if you want to go somewhere else, you can come and ask me!"
"It only costs the consultation fee of a medium-grade spiritual stone!"
As soon as he landed, he only had time to take a few breaths when a lean and small monk came up to him with a flattering smile on his face.
Around the teleportation array, there were two casual cultivators with the same fake smiles on their faces who were also staring at Qin Shaoyou. They both looked annoyed when they saw that Feisi had arrived first.
Qin Shaoyou understood that these Qianqian cultivators were casual cultivators who relied on reselling information to obtain cultivation resources.
You can get the spiritual stone with just a little effort, but this transaction is worthless...
But the reality is not as easy as Qin Shaoyou imagined. If they encounter someone who is unreasonable and not only refuses to give them spiritual stones, but also blackmails them, Feisi and others will have to consider themselves unlucky.
Feisi kept a professional smile on his face, and stared at Qin Shaoyou quietly with a pair of bright eyes, with a sense of expectation in his eyes.
"Forget it, then why don't you just tell me about the situation here?"
Qin Shaoyou did not refuse. Since someone is willing to give him guidance, that would be great.
"Fellow Taoist, please come this way!"
Fei Si was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and at the same time bent down to make a guiding gesture, leading Qin Shaoyou out of the teleportation array and walking outside the array.
The "transaction" between the two was inconspicuous. Qin Shaoyou followed Faith to a tea stall.
It's quite surprising that Faith is the owner of this tea stall.
It was his son who was busy at the tea stall. This tea stall did not charge money, but it provided a place for many people to have a short rest. It was precisely because of this that these casual cultivators who came and went did not deliberately make things difficult.
them.
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down and have a cup of tea first. This is wintergreen tea from Qinghai Prefecture. It has the effect of refreshing the mind, smoothing the breath and smoothing the nose!"
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised, and looked at the teacup on the table curiously.
The tea was clear and filled with fragrance. Before he tasted it, he felt a slight coolness in his mouth.
This holly tea is not produced by any spiritual plant, but is made from ordinary tea leaves. However, this thing is not an extraordinary thing. It is considered a top-quality drink in the mortal world. It will never be seen by non-royal nobles and high-ranking officials.
It's just that such precious tea leaves can only be found in tea stalls on the roadside in the world of immortality...
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Qin Shaoyou picked up the teacup and took a sip. Sure enough, as Feisi said, the fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and a cool feeling rushed straight to his forehead, which immediately wiped away the tiredness on his body.
“Great tea!”
He couldn't help but admire it, but the taste... why did it taste a bit like mint?
Fei Si chuckled and gave Qin Shaoyou another drink.
"You just said that this tea comes from Qinghai Prefecture?"
"Where is this Qinghai Prefecture?"
Qin Shaoyou shook the contents of the cup and looked up at him.
"It's like this. Damingzhou is a vast territory. In the world of immortality, it is divided into ninety-one regions. Each region is called a mansion, and each mansion covers an area of more than ten million miles. This Qinghai mansion
It is one of them, the head of the twenty-seven mansions in the North Ridge of Damingzhou!"
Faith paused and smiled:
"It's normal for Taoist friends not to know about it for the first time. Not to mention monks from overseas like you, even those who were born in Daming Continent may not all know about this thing."
Qin Shaoyou had no choice but to nod in agreement with what Feisi said.
There are ninety-one prefectures, each covering an area of more than ten million miles!
This Damingzhou is simply incredible!
It wasn't until this moment that he had a preliminary concept of this magnificent world of cultivating immortals!
While marveling, Qin Shaoyou was also very happy because this was the Daming Continent he was looking for!
"I see, then where is this place? What government does it belong to?"
Qin Shaoyou came back to his senses and asked.
"The place where fellow Taoist is currently located is called Sunset Valley, and it is located within the territory of Qianhuan Mansion. The geographical location of Qianhuan Mansion is very special. It is the intersection of the three major immortal cultivating forces of Beiling, East China Sea and Western Region!"
"This place is not under the jurisdiction of any force, but it is a place where all forces can enter and exit freely, so..."
"Fellow Taoist, you need to be extremely careful!"
As soon as Faith mentioned this, he couldn't help but feel sentimental. Although the place was chaotic, it was precisely because of the chaos that there was a delicate balance that allowed them, as casual cultivators, to find space for survival.
Beiling!
Is it the Qin family in Beiling?!
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
It turns out that he is already so close to that place, but he also knows that now is definitely not the time for him to go back and "recognize relatives". Let's not talk about whether he has anything to do with the Qin family or not, just the three items he carries with him.
The holy artifact was enough to attract the attention of the Qin family.
This is not a good thing for him.
"Thanks for the reminder!"
Qin Shaoyou nodded seriously. He thought about it and asked again:
"Since Fellow Daoist Fei is known as a know-it-all, do you know if there is a Xiuxian family named Bai in the Ninety-One Mansion?"
Qin Shaoyou came to Daming Continent with great effort. In addition to wanting to find out his relationship with the Beiling Qin family, his original purpose was to follow his "senior sister". However, he did not expect that so many things would happen along the way.
More than ten years have passed since then.
Although he knew that the chance of meeting Bai Xiyao again was slim, he still wanted to give it a try.
"A cultivating family named Bai?"
Faith frowned and fell into thinking. After a while, he said a little uncertainly:
"There are so many immortal cultivating families in Jiuyi Mansion, but those named Bai are indeed rare. When I traveled around the world in the early years, I once met a monk named Bai in Jishan Mansion. He said that his family is a cultivating family.
....”
"However, decades have passed since this incident. I don't know if it still exists now..."
Qin Shaoyou's heart tightened when he heard this. Although he knew there was hope, when he heard what Fei Si said, his heart was still filled with loneliness.
In this vast world with so many people, it’s so difficult to find someone!
When Bai Xiyao left Yuan Lingzong at that time, she "left without saying goodbye" and left no message at all. Or maybe she had no intention of seeing Qin Shaoyou again, right?
But Qin Shaoyou couldn't figure it out. He was obviously married to her. Could it be that all this was fake? Or did Bai Xiyao not care at all?
For a time, his usually calm mind could not help but become wildly imaginative.
"Senior sister must have her own reasons..."
He sighed and shook off those messy thoughts.
"Fellow Taoist, did I say the wrong thing..."
Seeing the sad look on his face, Feisi had already guessed a little bit of what was going on.
"Where is Jishan Mansion?"
Qin Shaoyou asked seriously.
Faith pointed behind him and said:
"Go west from here, past Xinghai Mansion and Lingtian Mansion, and you can enter the territory of Jishan Mansion. However, that is the sphere of influence of the Tiandao Palace in the Western Regions. Those barbarians are not easy to mess with. Fellow Taoist, you should think twice and act wisely!"
Faith can be considered sincere, and it is precisely because he treats others in this way that he has a pretty good reputation here.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for the tip!"
"I have another question. Where can I buy magic weapons and spiritual herbs above the Xuan level around here?"
Before leaving Haigui Island, Qin Shaoyou felt that his cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck again. In the elixir prescription experience left by his master Tang Yu, he found a Xuan-level ninth-grade elixir called Qingshuang Dan.
Breaking through the bottleneck in the early stages of Golden Elixir is of great benefit.
Refining this Qingshuang Pill requires the use of a mysterious spiritual fruit called Qingming Fruit, which Qin Shaoyou doesn't have, so he needs to look for it.
Even if he was going to Jishan Mansion, he still had to be fully prepared, otherwise he would most likely be killed on the way without even seeing the shadow of Jishan Mansion.
Furthermore, he urgently needed a map as a guide, and it was absolutely unreliable to just listen to Faith's words.
"If Taoist friends need to purchase items... Only a hundred miles south of here, there is a market called Sanyuan. There is a Sanyuan Taoist who is a casual cultivator in the realm of gods and protects him. Those disciples of the immortal forces dare not
If you make mistakes, fellow Taoists can go there and have a look."
Qin Shaoyou nodded. Although he didn't completely believe what Faith said, he was generally very satisfied.
He patted the storage bag lightly and took out two middle-grade spiritual stones.
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Fei, still have this wintergreen tea? I would like to buy some to take away."
Faith's face was filled with astonishment. This was the first time he saw a cultivator wanting to buy his tea.
"Fellow Taoist, you are too polite. I can just give you this tea..."
"No, I never owe favors. I'd better buy this tea with spirit stones."
Only then did Faith notice that what he was holding were actually two spiritual stones. He was so ecstatic that he called his son over and took out a black wooden box from him, which contained holly tea leaves.
"Well, I'll say goodbye now!"
Qin Shaoyou took the tea leaves, put down the spirit stone, and walked out of the valley without looking back.
Faith looked closely at his back, thoughtfully, until the latter's figure completely disappeared from sight.
"What a strange person..."
Shortly after Qin Shaoyou left, a casual cultivator who was sitting outside the teleportation array and setting up a stall left the place without even picking up his stall. Of course, the direction of his departure was not consistent with Qin Shaoyou's.
I saw him walking to a deserted place, taking out a transmission talisman from his arms, bringing it to his mouth and mumbling something, and then ignited it with spiritual power. In a burst of dazzling light, the transmission talisman
It turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
Not long after, somewhere in a magnificently decorated building, a middle-aged man in a black cloak walked steadily to the center of the hall.
"Fourth Master, the mouse has sent news that that person has come to Damingzhou, and..."
One after another, he repeated the words of the previous casual cultivator truthfully.
Deep in the hall is a high platform. Standing on the high platform with his hands behind his hands is a man with white temples. This man is nine feet tall and has a burly build. He exudes an aura of calmness and self-power.
Under the high platform, there stood a cold and charming woman in elegant clothes. She looked at the Fourth Master with both admiration and fear in her eyes.
"Oh, that's interesting..."
Fourth Master turned his back to them and smiled softly, but it made both of them feel their hearts tremble unconsciously.
"It is rare to find one person with thunder attribute spiritual roots among ten thousand people. It seems that I have not gained nothing this time. If this person can be used by me, I will spare his life. If not..."
The Fourth Master's words stopped abruptly, but both the cold-looking woman and the man in the cloak immediately nodded and clasped their fists:
