Chapter 1285 Chujiang City
The monk also knew that Qingyang was not a native monk of the Fallen Ghost Abyss, and he didn't know many people here. Now that some died and some left, he also understood Qingyang's intention not to stay here, so he said: "I will bring the news to my master, take care, fellow Daoist Qingyang."
After saying goodbye to the monk, Qingyang returned to the ladder, and then jumped up along the ladder. Climbing the ladder was much more difficult than coming down from the ladder before. While climbing up, you need to resist the increasing suction from below, which consumes a lot of energy.
Fortunately, Qingyang had successfully reached the top more than 30 years ago. Now his strength is different from the past. Although this ladder is very difficult, it is not impossible to overcome, but the speed is a bit slow. Just now, Qingyang only took a few hours to go down from the top, but now it took a full four days to climb up. The difficulty can be imagined, but the speed is twice as fast as the last time.
Everything went smoothly on the climb up the ladder this time, and there were no accidents on the way. Four days later, Qingyang had successfully stood on the edge of the Fallen Ghost Abyss. Looking at the abyss behind him, Qingyang was more or less emotional. At the beginning, he and the One-horned Ghost King were hunted by the Stone Talisman True Lord, and they were almost dead. In the end, they escaped the disaster by relying on the Fallen Ghost Abyss. During that time, he also met many people in the Fallen Ghost Abyss, but he didn't belong here after all. This time, I'm afraid he will never come back.
After a short silence, Qingyang sorted out his mood, used the Yin-Yang Mystical Art to disguise himself as a ghost cultivator, and then drove the Wind Gourd away with the Iron-armed Monkey.
The Wind Gourd was somewhat inconsistent with Qingyang's current identity as a ghost cultivator, but first, Qingyang was used to the Wind Gourd, second, he had not encountered a suitable flying underworld tool, and third, with the Yin-Yang Mystical Art, even if Qingyang's true essence was converted into underworld essence, it would not be a problem to use it.
However, Qingyang also considered the inappropriateness of it. If you want to keep a low profile, you can't be unique. It doesn't matter if you don't go deep into the Netherworld now. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer immortal cultivators, so you can't be so ostentatious. Qingyang has made a decision. In the future, when he arrives at a large immortal cultivation city, he will find a weapon refiner to add some Netherworld materials to cover up the Yufeng Gourd. After all, he is used to it.
There is nothing much to say about what happened afterwards. Qingyang and the Iron-armed Monkey took turns to drive the Yufeng Gourd and went all the way to the depths of the Netherworld. Qingyang didn't have a map of the Netherworld in his hand. He only knew the general direction of the Ten Kings Hall. However, the entire Netherworld is huge, and the Ten Kings Hall is a very famous place in the Netherworld. As long as the general direction is right, he will definitely find it in the end.
The Netherworld is not as safe as the Immortal Realm. There are many unexpected situations on the way, but with Qingyang's current strength, ordinary problems can't be difficult for him, and the journey is relatively smooth.
Along the way, Qingyang's cultivation did not fall behind, because with the Yin-Yang Mysterious Art, Qingyang could completely absorb the Yin and Ming ghost energy from the outside world for cultivation, but this method was just like absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation in the Immortal Realm, the speed was too slow and it was not advisable, and it could only be used as a supplement to normal cultivation.
Another way was to find spiritual caves and cold ponds for cultivation. Qingyang did encounter several along the way, but these spiritual caves and cold ponds were generally in poor locations, small places, and formed a short time ago. The spiritual energy was not sufficient. Not to mention compared with the one in the ruins, it was far worse than the one in the Ghost Valley, and the cultivation effect was very poor. Moreover, Qingyang now needed to rush to the Ten Kings Palace, and could not delay too much on the road, and there was no time to stop and slowly cultivate.
In the end, the burden of improving cultivation still fell on the pills. Fortunately, Qingyang prepared a large number of Juyuan Pills before going to the Ghost Valley. Because of the cold pond, there were still a lot of Juyuan Pills left, which could be used at this time. However, Qingyang's current cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, and the effect of the Juyuan Pill is not as good as before. Qingyang feels that if he wants to cultivate to the Golden Core Perfection realm, it will take at least 10 to 20 years to rely on pills alone.
However, Qingyang is not in a hurry. The speed of cultivation improvement was too fast before. It is just right to slow down now so that the foundation can be more solid. Moreover, he is not ready to break through the Nascent Soul now. Even if he reaches the Golden Core Perfection, he will not find a chance to break through for a while.
Unconsciously, a year had passed. At this time, Qingyang was nearly two million miles away from the Fallen Ghost Abyss. As for the Ten Kings Palace, it was said that there were at least tens of millions of miles away, and it would not be reached in a short time. In less than two years, Qingyang had traveled from the Ghost Valley to the Fallen Ghost Abyss, and then from the Fallen Ghost Abyss to here. He was almost on the road all the time, and had been traveling a long distance. Qingyang's face was a little more dusty.
As he went deeper into the Netherworld, he met fewer and fewer immortal monks on the way, and had more and more dealings with ghost monks. Qingyang also gradually adapted to the identity of a ghost monk disguised with the Yin-Yang Mysterious Art. The only flaw was that he had not found the right materials to transform the Yufeng Gourd.
One day, he suddenly came to a large immortal city. This city was hundreds of miles in radius and large in scale. It was not much less than the Jiuxian City. The Netherworld was much more desolate than the Immortal Realm. I don't know if it was sparsely populated or ghost monks didn't like to gather. There were very few ordinary immortal cities, and large immortal cities like the one in front of him were even rarer. Qingyang had only encountered such a large immortal city in the past year. Qingyang remembered about modifying the flying spiritual weapon, so he collected the Iron-Armed Monkey and the Wind-Controlling Gourd, descended from the air, and headed towards the large fairy city.
This fairy city is called Chujiang City. The management of the fairy city in the Netherworld is very loose. In such a large city, no one issues identity tokens at the city gate, and no entrance fee is collected. Although there are two guards at the gate, they do not care about the disputes of the passing cultivators, as if they did not see them.
With Qingyang's current cultivation level, he will naturally not be blocked from entering the fairy city. Some high-profile cultivators will release their aura early to show their status, and the low-level cultivators at the city gate will avoid them. Qingyang did not want to disturb others, so he did not do so on purpose. Although the low-level cultivators could not see through his cultivation level, the Jindan cultivators of the same realm could still see through it. When the two guards at the city gate saw Qingyang, they finally became serious for once and bowed to him on purpose.
Qingyang also returned the greeting, and then stepped into Chujiang City. Chujiang City looked much more chaotic than Jiuxian City, but overall it was quite peaceful. After entering Chujiang City, Qingyang first asked some local tyrants about the distribution of the main forces in the city, the location of large stores selling underworld tools, elixirs and other cultivation resources, and the famous equipment refiners in the city.
Soon he found out that there was a very powerful equipment refiner in Chujiang City, named Chiye Zhenjun.
