Chapter 1163 Red Lotus Mountain
For Qingyang, he met the One-horned Ghost King just after he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. The other party was like an elder. As long as he encountered danger, there was nothing that the other party could not solve. With him, Qingyang had a strong backing, and only with him could Qingyang feel at ease. Therefore, over a long period of time, Qingyang regarded him as a figure who was both a teacher and a friend, and he was not much worse than the Taoist priest Songhe.
For the One-horned Ghost King, when he was left with only a wisp of residual soul and was most helpless, he met the ignorant Qingyang. The two relied on each other to survive many disasters together. Qingyang helped him recover his cultivation little by little, and he also helped Qingyang repeatedly at critical moments. More importantly, Qingyang grew up under his eyes, just like his nephews and nephews who had witnessed their growth.
The relationship between the two was extremely deep. They depended on each other for decades, but now they suddenly had to separate. It was indeed a bit reluctant, but everyone had their own things to do, and it was impossible not to separate. The two were not the kind of people who pretended to be sympathetic, and they quickly agreed on Qingyang's departure.
Before leaving, Qingyang dug out the spiritual wine brewed with grapes from the Drunken Immortal Gourd and gave half of it to the One-Horned Ghost King. Now the One-Horned Ghost King is the leader of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, and he has no shortage of spiritual stones. He doesn't care about ordinary things, but only these spiritual wines.
Qingyang used a jar of spiritual wine brewed with grapes to exchange for a bunch of wind and fire orders from the sloppy Taoist, which shows how rare the spiritual wine is. For the One-Horned Ghost King now, this spiritual wine is definitely a rare treasure and is very helpful for cultivation.
The One-Horned Ghost King also gave Qingyang 100,000 Nether Stones. Nether Stones are useless for Qingyang's cultivation, but he will be walking in the Netherworld for a long time in the future, and Nether Stones are more useful than spiritual stones. During this period, the One-Horned Ghost King consumed a lot of Nether Stones in his cultivation.
This 100,000 was all the dark stones he could take out, and it didn't matter if he gave them all to Qingyang. He had no plans to retreat again for the time being, and it wouldn't be long before the seven overlords would send this year's taxes, so he wouldn't be short of spiritual stones to use, but Qingyang would find it difficult to get replenishment in the future.
After collecting the dark stones, the One-horned Ghost King sent Qingyang out of his cave. When he came to the door, Qingyang sacrificed the Wind-Controlling Gourd, jumped onto the belly of the gourd, and then sat on it and flew away from Qingmang Mountain, heading towards the area where the Jade-faced Bodhisattva was.
The same spiritual weapon has different powers and effects when used by different people. In the past, when Qingyang was in the foundation-building period, he could fly at a speed of more than 400 miles per hour when driving the Wind-Controlling Gourd, and could only fly 5,000 miles a day without stopping. However, this consumed a lot of his mind and true essence. In order to catch up with Yu Mengmiao and the master and apprentice of the Fairy Duanqing, Qingyang could only hold on for three or four days with a burst of strength, and then he fell seriously ill and almost collapsed.
Now that Qingyang's strength has been raised to the middle stage of the Golden Core, it is much easier to control the Wind-Controlling Gourd again. Whether it is the true essence or the divine consciousness, the consumption is less than before. Qingyang feels that even if he does not sleep, he can still last for seven or eight days, and he will not fall seriously ill like last time.
As for the speed of the Wind-Controlling Gourd now, it is also much faster than before. It can travel about 500 miles in one hour, and more than 6,000 miles in one day, which is not much slower than the flying spiritual device of the Infinite Saint.
Qingmang Mountain is about 200,000 miles away from Honglian Mountain where the Jade-faced Bodhisattva is. It will take a month to reach the destination by driving the Wind-Controlling Gourd without sleep. However, Qingyang is on the road alone and no one replaces him. He does not want to make himself too tired, so he only flies for eight hours a day, and stops to find a place to rest for the rest of the time. Although the rest time is only four hours, the effect is very obvious. The divine consciousness and true essence consumed that day can basically be restored.
In this case, Qingyang can only travel 4,000 miles a day. It took more than 50 days to travel 200,000 miles before he arrived at Honglian Mountain where the Jade-faced Bodhisattva is. After breaking through the Jindan, Qingyang's strength in all aspects has increased. After such a long journey, Qingyang has not changed much except that he is a little tired mentally.
With Qingyang's current status, he will be treated as a distinguished guest no matter where he goes to the Fallen Ghost Abyss. Sure enough, after the people of Honglian Mountain knew that Qingyang was visiting, they immediately opened the central gate, and the Jade-faced Bodhisattva even personally led a group of subordinates to greet him.
Seeing Qingyang's cultivation, the Jade-faced Bodhisattva was also shocked. It has been a long time since they last met, and this Qingyang is already a Jindan level 4 cultivator. I remember that when he was a Jindan level 2 cultivator, he could kill Gu Renhu, who was a Jindan level 5 cultivator. Now, can't he even kill a Jindan level 7 cultivator? I am only a Jindan level 9 cultivator. I am afraid that it won't be long before he is not even my opponent.
This kid's strength is terrifying enough, and what's even more terrifying is his alchemy skills. No one in the entire Fallen Ghost Abyss can compare to him. The key is that this kid is not very old. I heard from the Infinite Saint that he is not more than a hundred years old. So many amazing conditions are actually concentrated in one person. No wonder the old man, the One-Horned Ghost King, thinks so highly of this person. This potential is really amazing.
Jade-faced Bodhisattva is also one of the seven overlords of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, but now facing Qingyang, he actually feels ashamed of himself. Looking at Qingyang from a distance, Jade-faced Bodhisattva said: "It turns out that fellow Daoist Qingyang has come to visit. My Honglian Mountain is really glorious."
Qingyang said: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. The Jade-faced Bodhisattva is still as elegant as ever."
Hearing Qingyang's words, Jade-faced Bodhisattva laughed a few times and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, you are joking. If you want to talk about style, you have to look at it. I am an old woman over 300 years old. How can I compare with you, a young man in the prime of life? What is the matter with Fellow Daoist Qingyang coming to my Red Lotus Mountain today? Is it to borrow the ladder? I have already told the people at the ladder that Fellow Daoist Qingyang can use it anytime, and there is no need to come to me again."
Qingyang said, "Borrowing the ladder is one aspect, and I also want to see if you have any elixir that I need to help you refine. Didn't the Jade-faced Bodhisattva say that the reward for borrowing your ladder is not low? I came here to pay you this time."
"I was joking at the beginning, why did Fellow Daoist Qingyang take it seriously?" said the Jade-faced Bodhisattva.
Hearing Qingyang mention this, Jade-faced Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. At first, she didn't know Qingyang's background, so she said that in front of Wuliang Saint. Later, when she knew that Qingyang was a senior pill king, she had long given up that little thought. Compared with the friendship of a senior pill king, that little reward was not worth mentioning at all. Later, when she heard that Qingyang had a close relationship with the One-horned Ghost King, let alone any reward, she was willing to pay for it.
