The place where the True Spirit Gate is located is called the True Spirit Valley, and it is a very peculiar place.
Zhenling Valley is in a square shape, with high walls of mountains on three sides, surrounding a valley with a radius of a hundred miles in the middle. Only the south is an exit that is not wide, and is where the gate of Zhenling Gate is located.
place.
The entire Zhenling Gate is located in this hundred-mile valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The valley is as warm as spring all year round, and there is rarely bad weather. It is really a natural paradise.
Lin Qing, who was sitting on the back of the ghost-faced four-clawed owl, looked at the Zhenling Valley surrounded by mountains from a distance and sighed. With such a comfortable and comfortable place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as the sect's base, it's no wonder that Zhenling Valley is surrounded by mountains.
Menneng became the sect that protected the country of Later Zhao.
In addition to the superior terrain conditions, Zhenling Sect's most unique advantage is of course that there is a spirit stone vein with considerable output hidden under the mountain peak in the north!
According to the information provided by Mo Sanniang, this vein of spirit stone hidden under the mountain peak was said to have been accidentally discovered by the founder of the True Spirit Sect when he was chasing a monster beast that was good at drilling holes.
This spiritual vein is hidden deep underground and stretches for hundreds of miles. Its output and quality of spiritual stones can be ranked among the top. However, after thousands of years of mining, the spiritual vein has now reached the end of the twilight. The True Spirit Sect has also begun to strictly limit the amount of mining and spiritual stones.
of used.
For such a famous sect with a long history, Lin Qing certainly did not dare to fly directly from high in the sky so arrogantly, otherwise he would definitely be beaten like a sieve by the air defense restrictions.
He walked around two to three hundred miles to the north of Zhenling Valley, landed quietly in a forest, and then sneaked underground to wait for dark.
While waiting, Lin Qing tried to use his spiritual consciousness to wake up the mastiff "Red Fat" in the soul-controlling bracelet, but the guy was still sleeping and couldn't wake up, which made him depressed.
If the mastiff "Red Fat" can wake up, Lin Qing can ride this fat dog directly to the deep underground, and rely on "Red Fat"'s abnormal treasure hunting function to directly find the location of the spirit stone veins.
, but now I can only venture in by myself.
The moon is dark tonight and the wind is high, which is the time for night travelers to steal treasures alone!
Lin Qing thought in her heart and put on the "Soldier Victory Armor" that she had not used for a long time. This trip was extremely risky, so it was better to be fully prepared.
In order to prevent anyone from recognizing the original set of artifacts used to protect the country of the Later Zhao Kingdom, Lin Qing took out many black cloth strips that had been prepared in advance and wrapped the entire body armor, including the head and face, tightly.
Although this does not affect his flexibility of movement, it does make him look bloated, and there is no trace of the "warrior's victorious armor".
If anyone accidentally saw Lin Qing's appearance at this time, they would definitely be scared out of their wits, because the shape this guy designed for himself is exactly like a legendary zombie wrapped in a shroud!
Lin Qing, who has always been pragmatic, certainly wouldn't mind being treated as a zombie. In fact, if he thought about having such an additional effect, he would probably sprinkle some blood on the cloth and pretend to be a zombie.
After getting dressed, Lin Qing used the Earth Walking Technique and began to sneak towards the direction of the spirit stone veins. He was now about a foot away from the ground. From this height, he could clearly observe the scenery and movements on the ground, and he would not
Even if you are discovered by the guards lurking outside, the restrictions on the ground will not be triggered.
This diving depth is the safe height that Lin Qing concluded when he was in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. It would be much safer if he dived deeper, but it would not be conducive to him identifying the direction of travel and observing the surrounding environment.
In today's cultivation sects, although there are no deliberate restrictions on the ground due to the loss of earth magic, most sects also value the safety of the underground and will locate secret places such as secret rooms and treasure houses underground.
At the same time, powerful mechanisms and restrictions are set up above to prevent anyone from digging tunnels to enter.
If Lin Qing foolishly barged into the underground of a large sect, he would probably bump into the forbidden area of a secret place, and die in a confused and inexplicable way.
Therefore, when Lin Qing was sneaking underground in such a large sect, he still had to walk along the road. After all, no one would set up his secret room under the public road.
Although he is still only in the outer area of the True Spirit Gate, Lin Qing is still very cautious and sneaks in the safest way. He is not moving very fast, and he does not even control the Tianxing Moon Wolf Tooth Saw, in order to
Minimize the probability of being discovered.
Even the most professional thief would probably secretly admire Lin Qing when he saw how cautious and professional he was.
After sneaking for a certain distance, Lin Qingqing discovered a group of secret sentries hidden in the bushes. This place was in the uninhabited wilderness beyond the mountains behind Zhenling Valley. Placing the secret sentries so far away and being so heavily guarded showed that Zhenling Sect had no control over them.
How much attention is paid to the Lingshi vein.
As Lin Qing continued to move forward, he encountered several groups of secret sentries. After careful observation, he found that most of these secret sentries were disciples of both physical and legal cultivation who were good at disguise. Moreover, although their hiding positions were very hidden,
However, his energy is not very concentrated, and he is much worse than the patrolling disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in every aspect.
After experiencing the initial vigilance and seeing that each of these True Spirit Sect disciples seemed to be attending to errands, Lin Qing felt a little relaxed and couldn't help but use the "Earth Walking Technique" to run at full speed underground.
At this time, a piece of dense grass suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. Lin Qing scanned it with his consciousness and found that there were two secret whistles hidden in the middle of the grass.
The two men were squatting in a shallow pit, with long camouflaged grass stuck to their backs and heads. They blended in seamlessly with the surrounding environment. With sight alone, it would be difficult to spot them even if they walked up to them.
One of the two people was holding a magic weapon that looked like a compass. While observing the surroundings, he would glance at the magic weapon from time to time.
Lin Qing did not slow down. He was about to pass directly under the two people, but the man holding the compass-shaped magic weapon suddenly moved and whispered: "Brother, the 'spiritual plate' shows that something is approaching!"
The senior brother next to him also trembled when he heard this, looked around hurriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Is it a monk or a monster?"
"Spirit-seeking plate" is an auxiliary magic weapon, specially used to detect spiritual power fluctuations on monks or monsters, and can indicate the direction and distance of the target, serving as an early warning.
Lin Qing, who was underground, heard that these two people actually held this relatively rare special magic weapon, and hurriedly dived underground.
