Gao Yuan got up early to wash up and eat. He was in a good mood.
After the second-level Blazing Sun Talisman hanging in the trading area was sold that day, yesterday he hung the original Explosive Flame Curse at the price of 4,000 intermediate spiritual stones. It was also bought by someone not long after!
Excluding the 10% handling fee, these two transactions alone brought him a net income of up to 8,100 intermediate spiritual stones!
This makes him full of expectations for the auction to be held next month. As long as there is an alchemy furnace for sale, even if it is more expensive, he will be sure to eat it!
·
The projection on the jade dial has pointed to the third quarter of the hour, which is 7:45 in the morning.
Gao Yuan finished his breakfast and stood in the talisman-making room doing the final inspection before departure. After half a month of continuous treatment, the injuries he had suffered had long since recovered.
The number of spherical battle puppets has been replenished to ten before the trading area is opened.
In addition to the four commonly used talismans stored in the puppet, there is an additional reserve of 200 pieces of each type. In addition, there are also 100 newly made master-level demon-suppressing talismans.
In terms of elixirs, in addition to the commonly used Peiyuan Dan and Guyuan Dan, the efficacy is more than four times that of Guyuan Dan. The price of Guiyuan Dan is as high as 100 intermediate spiritual stones per bottle. He also bought ten bottles as emergency medicine.
use.
Twenty bottles of the Forbidden Demon Pill to prevent demonic energy from invading the body were also prepared.
After checking one by one to make sure there was no problem, he took a look at the dark gray long wind robe on his body.
When the latter was on his last hunting mission, he was bombarded by the opponent's commander's water-attributed 'talisman'.
Not only was a foot-long gash opened on the front, but the area around the gash was also stained with a strange blue color.
Many of the functions attached to the robe itself have basically become ineffective after the spiritual pattern is damaged.
But only the two Wufang storage bags were not damaged at all, so Gao Yuan was reluctant to throw them away.
Looking at the eye-catching blue stain on his chest, he hesitated for a moment, then put on another robe of the same color, and then left the underground stronghold.
…
The sun had just risen at this time, and the golden sunlight spread down, shining brightly on the silver-white snow.
After briefly identifying the direction, he flew straight towards the northwest.
In view of the group of Li family disciples who died tragically when he returned to Qingliang City last time, Gao Yuan was worried about encountering an accident. Therefore, during this trip to the gray desert, he did not choose to go to the nearby gray desert camp where Qingliang City is located. Instead, he chose to go far away.
Prepare to go to Linyuan City.
In order to earn alliance merit points, he had previously accepted the task of transporting a batch of emergency supplies from Linyuan City to its oasis base camp on the outskirts of the gray desert.
At that time, he also took advantage of the convenience of Kaiyuan Realm cultivation to apply for a permanent identity token at the Linyuan City Administrative Hall, so this trip was considered familiar to him.
…
After flying all the way, it was not until evening that Gao Yuan crossed thousands of miles and arrived at the outskirts of Linyuan City.
With his current level of cultivation, the elementary monsters with Qi training level in the outer reaches of the gray desert will naturally not be able to pose a threat to him.
Therefore, without any delay, he put on the self-made demon-suppressing talisman and entered the gray desert, heading straight for Linyuan City's oasis base camp in the gray desert.
Traveling quickly along the way, although he did not deliberately search for them, when he encountered those shadow demons that jumped out on their own initiative, he was not polite and killed them all.
Just after midnight, he had crossed more than 500 miles.
At the end of the distant field of vision, the outline of a city has been faintly revealed. Its scale is smaller than that of Qingliang City's oasis base camp. It is the oasis base camp built by Linyuan City on the outskirts of the gray desert!
It was curfew time at this time, and the city gate of the oasis base camp had already been locked.
Gao Yuan had already expected this. He came to a position less than ten miles away from the city gate and sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for the city gate to open.
…
The overall layout of the Linyuan City Oasis Base Camp was basically similar to the one in Qingliang City. In addition, Gao Yuan had been here once before, so it didn't take him long to buy a simple map containing the coordinates of the No. 1 forward camp.
Then he wandered around several medicinal shops in the city for a while, and as expected, there was no sign of magic pattern grass.
Then he left the oasis base camp, followed the map's guidance, and headed straight for the No. 1 forward camp.
…
Activating the wind curse, Gao Yuan's body flew back tens of meters in one sweep, leaving more than thirty shadow demons of various shapes far behind.
At the same time, his spiritual thoughts were like a sponge, roughly extracting a large mass of true energy from his meridians, and after wrapping it, it began to fluctuate at a mysterious frequency.
The vitality of heaven and earth in the surrounding void shook violently, and in an instant it turned into a red cloud with a radius of ten meters, covering all the thirty shadow demons that were following!
"boom!"
When a dazzling fireball exploded, the ground beneath his feet also shook faintly. Only the strange gray-white chaotic demonic energy surrounding it, as if in another dimension, was not affected at all by the explosion.
of disturbance.
When the firelight subsided, the group of shadow demons that could easily wipe out the backpacker team were reduced to ashes under the attack, leaving only traces of charred black remains.
At the same time, dozens of streams of information flashed through his field of vision like a screen:
"Source of Mutation 1..."
…
A trace of satisfaction flashed across Gao Yuan's face. If nothing else, as he goes deeper, the harvest from the source of mutation will be much richer than outside.
Less than three hours after leaving the oasis base camp, he had traveled more than two hundred miles, but this large group of dozens of shadow demons was already the third group he had encountered.
And as he continued to deepen, he gradually felt a faint sense of oppression from the power of his spiritual thoughts released outside.
This is because the concentration of chaotic demonic energy around them is constantly increasing subtly.
Apart from this, he himself didn't feel much. The effect of the master-level demon-suppressing talisman was very strong, and it firmly isolated the chaotic demonic energy around him, unable to have the slightest impact on him.
Too lazy to waste time searching for the scattered elementary crystallized magic cores one by one, Gao Yuan checked the direction and continued to move forward.
…
Linyuan City's No. 1 forward camp is a little over four hundred miles away from the base camp, located at the junction of the first and second levels of the gray desert.
Gao Yuan drove all the way, and finally at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the outline of Camp No. 1 in the distance.
Although both are strongholds established by Linyuan City in the gray desert, the appearance of Camp No. 1 is very different from that of the Oasis Base Camp.
The first is the area. Standing in the distance, Gao Yuan estimated the cross-sectional length of the city wall by visual inspection. The area of Camp No. 1 was only about one-third of the base camp.
But the scale of the barrier tower in the center of the camp is actually larger than the one in the oasis base camp. The bloody barrier radiating from it not only covers the entire city wall of the camp, but also extends out by nearly a hundred meters!
A circular corridor covered by a bloody barrier was formed outside the city wall, and at the city gate, there were four monks wearing standard black robes, like guards.
Two of them were standing at the city gate, and the other two were standing on the inside of the barrier opposite the city gate.
Although Gao Yuan was a little surprised at this, he didn't show it much.
After nearly a year of deliberate cultivation, his beard is now very impressive, and its size is close to that of Xin Lei, the big man with beard.
The well-developed beard not only hides more than 30% of his face, but also makes him look much more "mature". At first glance, he looks like a forty-year-old man.
Therefore, he was not worried at all that his appearance would attract other people's attention. He walked to the barrier with a relaxed expression and naturally handed over the identity token he had applied for in Linyuan City before.
The two people guarding the barrier, one fat and the other thin, both looked to be around fifty.
Seeing the token handed over by Gao Yuan on his own initiative, the tall and skinny old man on the left bowed his hand politely to him, then took the token, took out a magic weapon like a formation disk with his right hand, and gently touched the token.
Sweep.
A light yellow light curtain suddenly appeared above the formation disk, displaying Gao Yuan's relevant information, including portraits.
"Fang Huai...45 years old...third level of Kaiyuan Realm..."
The skinny old man first compared Gao Yuan's appearance carefully, then lowered his head to check his information, and murmured softly.
But when he saw the information about his origin, although his mumbling voice did not change, a strange light suddenly appeared in his lowered eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.
