Standing at the stairway on the second floor, Gao Yuan used his spiritual thoughts to spread forward along the corridor, and soon found the entrance to his room about 20 meters ahead on the left.
He walked over casually, took out the brass token given by the store, injected a little bit of true energy, and waved lightly at the jade-white array plate on the wall to the right of the door.
There was a flash of inspiration on the surface of the latter, and a light blue halo suddenly appeared.
After a short delay, the stone door in front of him slowly opened to the right, revealing a doorway wide enough for one person.
At the same time, the moonstone lamp on the indoor wall lights up silently, and soft fluorescence spreads from its surface, illuminating the room with bright lights.
Gao Yuan stood at the door, looked inside curiously, and then stepped into this cramped room with an area of less than ten square meters and a height of more than two meters.
The house was empty, with no windows or beds.
There are only two square stone platforms with a side length of three feet and a height of about one foot raised in the middle. There is a dusty and dirty futon on each surface.
Gao Yuan wasn't surprised by this. When paying for the room, the store owner told him that this was just a secret room with its own soundproofing, forbidden gods and other conventional restrictions.
When he thought of this, he waved the token in his hand, and the stone door behind him closed as before.
Then I saw a stream of light starting from the stone door, spreading out along the wall like water waves, and soon wrapped the entire secret room tightly.
Seeing this, he subconsciously used his spiritual thoughts and touched the wall in front of him.
When he was still an inch away from the wall, an invisible force of repulsion appeared out of thin air, steadily isolating his spiritual thoughts from the outside.
His mind moved, and he unconsciously increased the output intensity of his spiritual thoughts.
After a brief stalemate, the repulsive force suddenly dispersed. At the same time, the surface of the wall suddenly rippled with clearly visible light blue ripples like a disturbed water surface.
It turned out to be so, Gao Yuan suddenly realized.
This so-called God-forbidden Restriction, in addition to having a certain repulsive effect on divine thoughts, is also very sensitive to divine thoughts.
Even if there is an unstoppable invasion of spiritual thoughts, visions can be generated in time to remind people in the room, so as to prevent prying eyes!
He figured out the key in an instant, and then activated his true energy, controlling the brass token in his hand to continuously issue instructions.
And this seemingly simple secret room followed his control, like a sophisticated machine, making various responses quickly.
After a long while, he stopped moving and sighed in his heart.
When he was still in Qingyuan Town, he heard people describe the miraculous effects of various formations in this world. At that time, he was fascinated by the ways of formations, but he always suffered from the lack of contacts.
Even in the exclusive trading area of the Exile camp, he did not see any transaction information related to the formation.
At this time, when he saw this secret room with various restrictions, he was naturally particularly interested.
To be fair, this secret room was inferior in many aspects to the underground stronghold he built in the wild forest.
But from certain angles, the secret room in front of you is more like a monk's cave, because there are formations in it!
And the underground stronghold he built was undefended to a certain extent, and anyone could easily enter as long as they found the location.
I hope there will be clues about the formation at the semi-annual auction. After solving the problem of the alchemy furnace, I have to find a way to get a book on the formation, even the lowest one!
He murmured something in his heart, then gently shook his sleeves, causing a whirlwind to roll aside the dirty futon on the stone platform in front of him.
Then he took out a homemade animal skin futon from the storage bag and sat cross-legged on it.
…
More than an hour later.
Gao Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at the brass token placed on the stone platform in front of him.
The surface of the latter was trembling slightly at this time, and a faint wave was constantly coming from it.
His heart moved, and his spiritual thoughts covered it.
At the same time, the image of a kind-hearted old man emerged in his mind.
I saw him bowing his hands and saying with a smile:
"I would like to pay tribute to my Taoist friend. I am the shopkeeper of our shop. I have something to do and I would like to visit you. Is it convenient for you to do so?"
Looking at the image in his mind that was transferred through the brass token, Gao Yuan admired it in his heart, but didn't express much on his face.
Then he thought of the other party's words and was quite curious, so he did not refuse and conveyed his words to the other party with the help of a brass token using his spiritual mind.
After a moment, there was a soft sound from the stone door on the side, and a light flashed on its surface, revealing the scene outside the door.
I saw a kind-hearted old man standing outside the door. Gao Yuan stood up and came to the door. He waved his brass token at the stone door, and the latter quickly moved aside.
…
After a cup of tea, the innkeeper, who called himself Yu Liang, said goodbye and Gao Yuan quickly stood up to see him off.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, it's settled, I will visit you again tomorrow at a quarter of a hour."
After leaving the stone room, Yu Liang stood in the corridor with a smile on his face, turned around and cupped his hands at Gao Yuan who was walking out the door.
"Thank you, Taoist friend Yu!" Gao Yuan said this and returned the courtesy.
·
After closing the stone door, Gao Yuan turned around and sat on the stone platform with emotion on his face.
The purpose of Yu Liang's visit to him was very simple. He was just to introduce a demon hunting team to him as an intermediary.
Since all types of monsters in the gray desert are monsters, no matter what kind of resources the monks discover in the gray desert, they cannot avoid killing monsters.
Therefore, these monks who make a living in the gray desert are also called demon hunters.
And the team composed of demon hunters is naturally called the demon hunting team.
In the gray desert, there are two main types of demon hunting teams.
The largest and most numerous among them is naturally the official demon hunting team composed of disciples sent by various major forces.
This kind of demon-hunting team is backed by powerful forces and is generally well-equipped.
In addition, its personnel are relatively fixed, and the skills among the team members can often complement each other, so its overall strength is also very strong.
The opposite is the private demon hunting team composed of casual cultivators. In fact, those who can become Kaiyuan realm cultivators have basically had the experience of being disciples of large forces.
Either because they didn't like to be restrained, or for some other reasons, after exchanging Yuan Jingshi and being promoted to the Kaiyuan realm, they chose to quit the original force and go out on their own.
In fact, this situation is very common among Kaiyuan Realm monks, and the big forces don't care much about it.
There are even many Kaiyuan realm monks who, after breaking away from their original forces, still maintain a cooperative relationship with the forces they were originally loyal to, but the constraints between them are not as tight as before.
And what Yu Liang introduced to Gao Yuan was a demon hunting team composed of four Kaiyuan Realm casual cultivators.
The members of this kind of demon hunting team often change very frequently, and once a member leaves the team, new members must be added in time, otherwise it will affect the hunting.
In order to improve the efficiency of team member recruitment, the captains of each demon hunting team often cooperate with the shopkeepers of the inns in the city to obtain information about the new people arriving at the advance camp as soon as possible.
After all, the disciples of the big forces all have their own fixed residences, and those who stay in the inn are basically casual cultivators.
As the innkeeper, Yu Liang naturally maintains cooperative relationships with many demon hunting teams.
According to what he said, the leader of this team is named Shi Jun, and he is a mid-term monk on the fourth level of Kaiyuan.
He has been in the No. 1 Forward Camp for more than ten years and has always had a good reputation. The other three in the team, like Gao Yuan, are all in the early stages of the Kaiyuan Realm.
Yu Liang's proposal was quite in line with Gao Yuan's wishes. Although he had purchased information related to Hui Mo before, the information was still a bit general.
In addition, the gray desert area is so huge, there will definitely be certain differences in the distribution of resources in various regions.
He has just arrived, so it is naturally a good choice to cooperate with an experienced demon hunting team.
As for Shi Jun's reputation, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was just a casual cultivator at the fourth level of Kaiyuan Realm.
During the previous mission, he could almost count the middle-stage Kaiyuan realms that died in his hands!
Unless the other party is like the deacon of Feilong City and has several talismans on his body, he really doesn't take it seriously.
And if this Shi Jun could afford Fu Bao's wealth, he wouldn't have to run around in the desert to earn a living!
Therefore, he readily agreed without too much hesitation.
