Chapter 139 - Valley of the Dark Wind
The tasks in the internal affairs hall are much less than those in the outer sect, but the task rewards are also more, and the tasks require greater strength.
However, in the mission hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, Zhang Qingyuan found a mission that generally met his requirements.
…
[Mission No. 721:
Brother Nangong of Tianmu Peak needs to collect ten hundred-year-old Ghost Grass, the grade of which should be at least above the human rank. If one can find one of the yellow rank, it is enough. Fan.
Reward: Baicao Pill Formula]
…
Baicao Dan is one of the auxiliary medicines that monks in the middle stage of Lingyuan can take.
It is one of the intermediate medicinal pills.
This kind of elixir is a little out of the way, and the consumption of various spiritual materials is relatively high, but among all the rewarded elixir tasks, it is already the most suitable task that Zhang Qingyuan can accept.
Because of other tasks, either the cultivation base requires at least the True Yuan Realm, or the cost is no less than that of buying Danfang in Neimenfang City.
In contrast, it is not difficult to go to Yinfeng Valley to find ghost grass.
Of course, because the area within a radius of hundreds of miles of Yinfeng Valley is infiltrated by the nether wind that comes from nowhere, the entire area is cloudy and foggy all the year round. Under this mysterious environment, many shadows Demons and ghosts are more dangerous than Zhang Qingyuan's two previous missions.
Even so, according to Zhang Qingyuan's knowledge, because of the sudden appearance of the Yinfeng Valley, the high-level sect officials have deeply investigated the formation of that area, but they have not found it. They only know that the ghostly air gushes out from the depths of the abyss. Coupled with the unique environment, that area was formed.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, every twenty or thirty years or so, the sect will issue a mission to eliminate the possible monsters in the real yuan realm, and ask the sect's true yuan realm monks to go and clean them up.
It hasn't been long since the last suppression.
That is to say, among the ghosts and ghosts within the entire Yinfeng Valley, the one with the highest strength is only at the ninth level of the Spiritual Origin Realm.
This is really good news for Zhang Qingyuan.
"That's the mission."
After thinking about it, Zhang Qingyuan took up the task of finding the Ghost Grass.
Returning to the Neimen Cave Mansion, Zhang Qingyuan made various preparations.
Afterwards, he left Xuanshui Peak and headed towards Yinfeng Valley.
Yinfeng Valley is about thirteen hundred miles away from Xuanshui Peak, and it is already at the edge of the Zongmen's territory, backed by the huge and uninhabited deserted area.
After crossing this boundary, it may still belong to the radiating range of Yunshuizong's influence, but it is already beyond the coverage of Yunshuizong's large spiritual veins, and it is not considered the territory of Yunshuizong.
Zhang Qingyuan hurried on the road with all his strength, but it took five or six days to arrive.
Before being promoted to the Real Yuan Realm and able to fly with the sword, the speed of the Spirit Yuan Realm monks will be affected to a certain extent after all.
Yinfeng Valley is located in the endless mountains and hills to the west of Yunshuizong. The aura in that mountain range is barren, and the precipitation is not much. You can often encounter a continuous piece of Gobi. The rugged and vast mountainous area makes monks They are all daunting, let alone ordinary mortals.
To the west is basically a contiguous expanse of no man's land.
It's just that with the appearance of Yinfeng Valley, a completely different ecology from ordinary creatures was born in a special area, and at the same time some rare natural treasures with special attributes were born.
Because of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, many casual cultivators came here one after another to hunt down the ghosts and demons that grew here, and collect the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that grew inside.
When there are more people, a settlement is naturally formed.
Therefore, under the leadership of Yunshuizong, a Yinfeng City was established in front of a canyon road leading to Yinfeng Valley, and a certain number of people were sent to garrison here.
Even so, Yunshuizong did not treat Yinfeng Valley like the Xuanshui dark river under Xuanshui Peak,
It is completely designated as the private property of Yunshuizong.
Any casual cultivator, as long as he can afford the toll of five spirit stones, can enter the Yinfeng Valley.
During the period, they are responsible for their own profits and losses, and Yunshuizong will not care whether there is any gain or not.
It is a semi-public special resource area.
Some poor monks, or casual cultivators who want to obtain some special resources, disciples of sects, and even monks from foreign lands will also go to the Valley of the Dark Wind to search for one or two.
Along the way, Zhang Qingyuan, who was full of dust and dust, rushed to Yinfeng City and walked around the city that day.
There are no less than 50,000 mortals in the whole city, and there are thousands of monks, but most of them are middle and low-level monks, and there are relatively few high-level monks.
Some casual cultivators came out of Yinfeng Valley and gained a lot, so they simply set up stalls in the market in the city, selling some natural materials and earth treasures that they didn't need.
Zhang Qingyuan also took a look around, and found that there were also a lot of ghost grasses for sale in the square market, but basically there were no human-grade ghost grasses that were hundreds of years old, let alone yellow-grade ones.
This made Zhang Qingyuan feel a little pity.
He found a nearby low-level monk who made a living as a guide, and Zhang Qingyuan learned about the general information about Yinfeng City from him. At the same time, he bought a general map of Yinfeng Valley, and attached the approximate area where the ghost grass is distributed. .
"The outer area has been explored by casual cultivators, and all kinds of natural materials and earth treasures have been swept away. It is impossible to find a century-old human-level ghost grass. It seems that if you want to complete the task, you can only enter the core area to take risks. It's over."
The core area of Yinfeng Valley is basically a group of various monsters in the late Lingyuan period.
Even a cultivator at the ninth level of the Spiritual Origin Realm may not be able to retreat completely if he enters the core area.
And because the resources produced by this Yinfeng Valley are not very precious, if it is not necessary, basically no monks with eight or nine levels of spiritual energy will enter the depths of the core of Yinfeng Valley to take risks.
After all, that place is relatively dangerous.
Except for the monks of the Yunshui Sect's Zhenyuan Realm who sweep it every 20 to 30 years, it is basically an inaccessible area.
"With my current strength, unless it is a monster above the late stage of the Ninth Layer of Lingyuan, otherwise I will basically not be in much danger, it should be possible!"
Looking at the map he bought, Zhang Qingyuan thought to himself.
On the second day, Zhang Qingyuan was ready to set off.
Yinfeng City was directly built on a canyon road leading to Yinfeng Valley. Walking out of the west gate is within the range of Yinfeng Valley. Therefore, the disciples stationed in the outer sect of the sect are all stationed at the west gate to collect five spirit stones as a toll.
In front of the pass, Zhang Qingyuan showed the tokens of the inner disciples, and under the awe-inspiring eyes of the outer disciples guarding the pass, he directly waived the fee for the five spirit stones and sent Zhang Qingyuan out of the city respectfully.
The outer sect disciples guarding here are basically cannon fodder for the outer sect who graduated from other courtyards and entered the inner sect all their lives.
As the Yunshuizong's semi-private and semi-public resource area, Zhang Qingyuan, the inner sect core, is naturally exempt from the toll.
Under the eyes of everyone in awe and envy, Zhang Qingyuan left the pass with a calm expression.
At this time,
Behind the team queuing out of the city, two big Han monks who were originally inconspicuous and did not show any abnormalities, when they saw Zhang Qingyuan's inner disciple ID card displayed at the city gate, their eyes suddenly froze.
