Chapter 271 The Green Mountains Are Still There
Where is this?
After Chu Ning woke up, she looked forward, and the next moment her pupils shrank sharply.
What appeared in front of him was a cliff as smooth as a knife, towering into the clouds.
There is a line of writing on the cliff.
"Lingyao Mountain, Mountain Sect No. 32588."
The mountain peak of Senior Shan Zong?
Seeing this line of numbers, Chu Ning had a look of joy on his face. In so many years, this was the second mountain he had encountered from a senior mountain sect.
The first mountain is Wenjin Mountain, and the ranking of Wenjin Mountain is 87865, and the ranking of this mountain is 32588.
"In other words, this elixir mountain should have joined the mountain sect earlier than the senior who asked Jinshan."
Chu Ning guessed, but at the same time she was also a little confused.
According to what the master said, this is a secret realm created by a senior in the Dan Realm. Naturally, that senior in the Dan Realm is not a member of the Shan Sect, so why does the Mountain of the Shan Sect appear in this secret realm?
Also, why do you suddenly appear here?
When entering the secret realm of concentration, my master also said that everyone will be randomly teleported to the outer area of the secret realm, and there will be no coma.
The special situation that happened to me should be related to this mountain of elixir.
"Senior Shan Zong?"
Chu Ning tried calling, and an old voice responded.
"Shan Zi, please don't call me that."
An old man with white hair and a long beard slowly walked out of the cliff. The beard was so long that it reached his thighs and knees.
Shanzi?
Hearing the old man's name for him, Chu Ning thought of the senior tree demon. Back then, the senior tree demon also called himself Shanzi.
It seems that the old man in front of him is also a tree spirit.
Chu Ning could feel the rich spiritual energy emanating from the old man. Thinking of the identity of the other party, it seemed that the old man's body was probably an elixir, and a high-level elixir.
In the library of Xinhuo Hall, Chu Ning read the introduction about the vegetation and monsters.
It is much slower for plants and trees to become spirits and give birth to spiritual intelligence than monsters and beasts, and elixirs are even slower than ordinary plants and trees.
Elixirs are a special group of plants, because they far exceed the lifespan of ordinary plants, and it is much more difficult to give birth to spiritual intelligence and transform than ordinary plants.
Like those sixth- and seventh-level elixirs, the maturity period is a thousand years, but a thousand years of maturity does not mean that spiritual wisdom will be born. Unless they mature three times in a row and are not picked by anyone during this period, then there is a chance that spiritual wisdom will be born.
Any elixir that births spiritual wisdom is an absolute tonic.
This was the introduction in the jade slip, but facing this old man, Chu Ning did not dare to have any thoughts.
The feeling this old man gave him was that at worst he was in the state of becoming a god.
"Senior, you asked this junior to come here?"
"Shan Zi is joking, how can I have such ability? This is because the Spiritual Medicine Mountain sensed Shan Zi's identity and teleported Shan Zi here."
The old man shook his head, and then said: "Shan Zi is curious, why is the Spiritual Medicine Mountain in this secret realm?"
"Well, I hope senior can clear up the confusion."
"The appearance of Spiritual Medicine Mountain here is an agreement between the mountain owner and the founder of the secret realm."
There was a look of pride on the old man's face: "There is no mountain without vegetation. The creator of this secret realm needs the help of the mountain owner if he wants the elixirs in the secret realm to continue to multiply."
Hearing the old man's words, Chu Ning understood a little. Fortunately, he had just read Tangshan to nine thousand feet and knew the existence of the blessing of the mountain.
This is a secret realm. It is impossible for the Dan Realm senior who created the secret realm to plant all the mature elixirs at once. There must be some elixir seeds and seedlings.
If the secret realm of concentration can last for so many years, it must have its own recycling system.
When the elixir matures, seeds will be left behind, and the seeds will mature again after a long period of time. In this way, even if a new person comes to the Dan Realm each time and picks the elixir, these seeds will germinate and mature after a thousand years.
It is opened once every thousand years to give the elixir time to grow.
But like the Danshan Sect's elixir garden, even if there are disciples taking care of it, the elixirs will still wither. If there is no one to take care of this hidden secret realm, the chance of the elixirs withering will only be greater.
It doesn't matter in a short time, but as time goes by, the elixirs in the secret realm will eventually disappear, leaving at most some elixirs and prescriptions.
How to solve the problem of elixir depletion, no one is better than the disciples of the Mountain Sect. As long as there is the blessing of the mountain to supply these elixirs, the elixirs will not wither.
Chu Ning could guess the cooperation between the senior Shanzong and the senior Danyu. The senior Danyu relied on the blessings of the elixir mountain to ensure that the elixir could grow and reproduce continuously.
"Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion. I understand, junior."
"I have received the favor of the mountain master of Lingyao Mountain. Shanzi and the mountain master have the same origin. It is what I should do to help Shanzi solve his doubts."
The old man was very polite, and then said: "Shanzi came to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. The disciples in the mountain were extremely excited. They held a special banquet to entertain us. I hope Shanzi won't dislike it."
"Can!"
Chu Ning would never say no to a meal.
Following the old man Chu Ning, he left the cliff, passed through several mountains, and finally appeared on a flat land on the top of a mountain.
Stepping onto the ground, Chu Ning smelled a strong aroma of wine, which was fragrant and intoxicating.
The aroma of wine emanated from a huge boulder placed on the ground.
There is a pit in the boulder, and crystal wine is flowing inside. At this moment, there are several little people with transparent wings no more than the size of a palm, stirring the wine with wooden sticks.
Flower elf!
Chu Ning recognized the identity of these slap villains, flower elves.
However, these flower elves, with their size, seem to have some intelligence, but their strength is not as good as that of the early stage of Qi Condensation.
Then, a giant bird fell from the sky and landed on the boulder. The howling wind it brought caused several flower elves to be blown around. One of them was accidentally blown into the wine by the strong wind and struggled. Flapping its wings to climb up.
Seeing this, Chu Ning flicked her fingers, and the flower spirit floated up from the wine and landed on Chu Ning's palm. The next moment, it flapped its wings and flew away in panic.
Seeing the trace of wine fluttering away from the flower elf in the palm of her hand, Chu Ning also smiled and sat down on a tree pillar at the invitation of the old man.
In front of the tree stump, there was a wooden table, and various spirits came up carrying wild fruits from the mountains, filling most of the table.
A quarter of an hour later, more and more spirits appeared. These spirits were not treated as well as Chu Ning and simply sat on the ground.
The old man clapped his hands, and a group of girls in green walked out of the forest, singing and dancing on the plain.
The dances are graceful and graceful, each with its own merits.
During this period, these flower elves held up their glasses to scoop up cups of wine from the wine, and shuttled in front of Chu Ning and many other spirits sitting on the floor.
Chu Ning looked at the singing and dancing spirits, and suddenly had the idea that this was the real way to cultivate immortality.
Suddenly!
The scent of osmanthus hit his nostrils. Chu Ning lowered his head and looked at the flower elves carrying the wine glass. One of them blinked at him. It was the little guy who had fallen into the wine earlier.
"Shanzi, this mountain wine is brewed by flower elves. Flower elves are born to be winemakers. This wine is brewed from hundreds of elixirs."
The old man raised his glass to Chu Ning. Chu Ning picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
The other spirits sitting on the floor also raised their cups.
The wine entered the throat, and a fragrant aroma circulated in the stomach. The next moment, several streams of heat flowed towards the limbs and bones, and the place where they flowed was warm and comfortable all over the body.
Finally, these hot currents gathered at the Dantian. The little man in the Dantian pinched his mouth and sucked all the hot currents into his mouth, with a happy look on his little face.
"That's all."
Chu Ning sighed, and the old man responded with a smile: "We can only hold such a grand event in a thousand years, and this time it is thanks to Shanzi."
"This junior is honored."
…
In the next few days, Chu Ning stayed in the mountains, keeping company with the spirits and enjoying the delicious food in the mountains.
One day.
Chu Ning was lying on the grass, enjoying the facial massage from the flower elf, when the old man's figure appeared.
"Shanzi, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Senior, please speak."
Chu Ning didn't have too many surprises. The reason why the other party entertained him so warmly was probably not just because he was a disciple of the Shan Sect.
"I would like to ask Shanzi to go to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Palace and ask the mountain spirit how long it will take for me to break through the ranks."
"Elixir Mountain Palace?"
"When the mountain master left, he left the mountain palace behind. Lord Shan Ling lived in the mountain palace, but we were not allowed to enter without Lord Shan Ling's summons."
The old man looked sincere, and Chu Ning nodded: "In that case, let me go."
"Thank you Shanzi. If this happens, I will be very grateful."
Chu Ning followed the old man towards the depths of the mountain range. Spiritual Medicine Mountain was not a separate mountain peak, but developed into a mountain range.
Half an hour later, Chu Ning looked at a low mountain peak no more than a thousand feet high, surrounded by many peaks and guarded by many peaks. There was a palace on the top of the peak.
"Shanzi, I can't go any further."
The old man did not move forward, but stopped. Chu Ning nodded and walked towards the mountain hall alone.
Climbing the mountain peak, Chu Ning felt the activity of the green mountains in his dantian.
"Shan Sect disciple Chu Ning is here to visit." Chu Ning shouted loudly at the entrance of the hall.
"Shanzi, please come in."
There was a sound coming from the palace, the palace door slowly opened, and Chu Ning strode into it.
Stepping into the hall, Chu Ning's expression changed, and his figure instantly turned into a rainbow of light and headed out of the hall.
"Don't be afraid Shanzi. In order to escape temporarily, you have to borrow Shanzi's mountain energy."
Unfortunately, the door to the hall was closed.
Chu Ning looked cold and stared at an oil lamp in the center of the hall. The oil lamp was swaying and the flame was weak, as if it would go out in the next moment.
But the next moment, the flames suddenly returned to normal beating.
A wisp of flame floated out from the oil lamp and transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man.
The man appeared and bowed respectfully to Chu Ning: "Elixir Shanling has met Shanzi."
This oil lamp is the mountain spirit of Lingyao Mountain.
Chu Ning did not respond to the other party. The moment he stepped into the hall, he felt that the energy in his body was suddenly drained away. This made him immediately prepare to stay away, but he did not expect that the door of the hall was closed first.
"I know Shanzi has doubts in his heart. After seeing the jade slip left by the mountain master, Shanzi will understand."
The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a ray of light floated towards Chu Ning. Chu Ning was silent for a few moments, and finally reached out to take it.
This was a jade slip, but when the jade slip fell into his palm, it disappeared silently into his palm. At the same time, an additional message appeared in his mind.
…
Above a vast sea of clouds, a mountain peak stands.
A figure stood on the top of the mountain, and a figure stood above the sea of clouds.
"Do you have to go, fellow Taoist?" Yunhai's figure asked softly.
"This is the responsibility of our mountain sect. We must go." The figure on the mountain responded with a smile.
"If you go here, will you come back?"
"The green hills are still there."
…
After a long silence, the figure in Yunhai finally spoke first.
"Shan Zong's move is not recognized, but the method proposed today is more accepted by everyone. Why do fellow Taoists insist so much?"
"There are now rumors saying that Taoist Brother is doing this for the sake of Shan Sect himself, not for the common people in the world. If Taoist Brother insists on going his own way, I am afraid that this statement will be confirmed."
The man on the top of the mountain smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to dissuade me. I just want a pill for this appointment."
"What is friendship?"
"Elixir Mountain."
The eyes of the man above the sea of clouds shrank slightly: "Okay."
The deal is done.
The man on the top of the mountain took the elixir and disappeared from the top of the mountain, while the man on the sea of clouds sighed softly.
…
After a long time, the scene changed again.
This time, three figures appeared around the Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
One of the figures formed a seal with his hands, and thunder fell from the sky and landed on the elixir mountain.
At the same time, a long sword fell from the sky, and this sword directly cut off half of the height of the elixir mountain.
"enough!"
The man above the sea of clouds appeared, looked at the three figures, and said: "This is the Dan Realm, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous."
"If you make any further moves, I guarantee that the three of you will not be able to leave the Dan Realm!"
The three figures looked at the man coldly, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The man said again: "Lingyao Mountain already belongs to my Dan Domain and has nothing to do with the Shan Sect anymore."
After hearing this, the three of them looked at the man deeply before leaving.
Looking at the spiritual medicine mountain that was mostly destroyed, the man formed a seal with his hands, and the spiritual energy around the entire mountain peak fluctuated. In the end, the mountain peak and the surrounding land tens of thousands of miles away were sealed in the formation by the man.
"This place will be the secret realm of concentration from now on, and it is the secret realm for cultivating newcomers in my alchemy realm."
After the man finished speaking, a pair of eyes slowly disappeared deep in the sky.
The scene ends completely here.
Chu Ning raised his head and stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is Shan Zong's enemy?"
Although he was also curious about what the senior mountain sect from Spirit Medicine Mountain had left to do, but with his temperament, he wanted to know who the enemy was.
At first, he asked Senior Jinshan not to reveal his identity as a disciple of the Shanzong, but he has not found any enemies appearing in these years, and he has relaxed his guard a little.
But the scene he saw this time told him that Shan Zong's enemies were still there. The reason why he hadn't encountered them was because the enemies were too strong and beyond his current realm.
"Shan Zong has no enemies."
The middle-aged man shook his head, and the corners of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. He was telling lies with his eyes open.
As if he knew what Chu Ning was thinking, the man added: "These are the original words of the mountain master."
