Chapter 309: Separation and Journey
One month later.
A flying boat slowly moved forward between the ancient mountains.
On the flying boat, Chu Mu stood at the bow, and Li Caiyi stood beside him with a little uneasiness, looking at Chu Mu from time to time, but more of the uneasiness seemed to come from the metal monster lying beside him.
Wangcai was wearing a silver-white battle armor, which completely wrapped his monster body. His scarlet eyes were revealed in the silver-white. Although he was lying quietly, the breath of his second-level monster was undoubtedly extremely terrifying for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training.
Chu Mu glanced at him, raised his hand and wiped it, and an invisible wave fell on Li Caiyi's body, isolating the breath.
"This trip will pass through the Nanshan Mountains, tens of thousands of miles away from the secular world, Miss Caiyi, you decide for yourself."
Chu Mu said slowly, turned around and walked into the cabin, sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand, and slowly flipping through it.
Li Caiyi walked into the cabin silently, sat in the corner, hugged her knees, and seemed a little confused and helpless.
The pages of the book paused for a moment before slowly falling. Chu Mu's eyes were deep and full of spiritual light, and he was completely focused.
The resources of the elixir that could assist him in his practice had been exhausted when he broke through the middle stage of foundation building in Jingmen.
Although there were still many elixir recipes, his focus on the elixir had long been shifted to the book in his hand.
Just like the changes he had made to the recipe of the body-building formula in the secular world, he had also been thinking about the recipe of the body-building holy medicine, the bell stone spirit milk, for many years.
The approximate elixir recipe had been updated and iterated for dozens of versions, all of which were recorded in the book in his hand.
He had already prepared the relevant spiritual medicines needed for the bell stone spirit milk in Jingmen.
What he needed to do now was to completely finalize the elixir recipe.
Although he had thought about dozens of versions of the elixir recipe, it was not easy for him to do this.
Although he had been exposed to alchemy for a long time, it was only used to make money at first. After that, the focus was completely shifted to the art of refining.
After building the foundation, although there were many improvements, compared with the effort put into refining, the foundation of alchemy was obviously still extremely lacking.
The pill formula constructed with the bell stone spirit milk as the core was at least a second-level middle-grade pill formula, or even a second-level upper-grade pill formula.
With his alchemy skills, it was still barely enough.
And this reluctance was more due to the lack of knowledge of spiritual medicine.
After all, his alchemy skills were not as extensive as the art of refining, and he also had countless experiences in the virtual world back then.
Under the "spiritual light blessing", countless thoughts flowed and analyzed around the bell stone spirit milk, and finally merged into the pill formulas in front of him that had not been completely determined.
Chu Mu was very focused and had no distractions.
Time flew by. On the sixth day, the flying boat that was slowly moving forward in the clouds also slowly descended from the sky.
Finally, the flying boat was suspended on the top of the mountain, and a graceful figure walked down from the flying boat and slowly disappeared into the forest.
Chu Mu stood at the bow of the flying boat, watching silently until the back disappeared from his sight.
"Huh..."
He took a deep breath and exhaled it.
There was a rare complexity between his eyebrows.
After a long time, he looked up at the sky.
The sky was dark, the drizzle was hazy, and it was inexplicably depressing.
He waved his hand, and the hovering flying boat slowly floated upwards, and soon it sank into the clouds again.
Above the clouds, there was another world.
The darkness was gone, and the hazy drizzle had disappeared.
The sky was a cloudless sky.
Looking down, there was a surging sea of clouds and mountains and valleys.
He laughed at himself, shook his head secretly, and then stepped into the cabin. The flying boat was moving slowly above the sea of clouds.
This journey would be quite long.
From Guling, through the tens of thousands of miles of Nanshan, through twelve counties and 162 counties, about hundreds of thousands of miles of territory, you can reach the confrontation front line between the Righteous Alliance and the Changsheng Sect in the northwest.
After crossing the front line, you will completely step into the Northern Frontier, which is the Central Plains in the secular sense.
It is said that before the Changsheng Sect was established, the Northern Frontier was desolate. The reason was that the Xingluo Grassland had invaded the Northern Frontier many times, and in the long war, the Northern Frontier was destroyed!
And with the establishment of the Changsheng Sect in the Northern Frontier, the silence of the Xingluo Grassland, the long years of management, and the desolation of the Northern Frontier have become a thing of the past.
Whether it is the world of immortal cultivation or the secular world, they are undoubtedly the center and core area of Da Chu.
However, with the sudden rise of the Righteous Alliance, the superficial harmony was completely torn apart.
Today's Northern Frontier is obviously a bit more lonely than before.
But now the Changsheng Sect has suppressed the four clans and one alliance, and its momentum is booming. Compared with the panic of the past, the order in the northern border is undoubtedly much more stable.
This slowly moving flying boat finally passed the boundary between the southwest and northwest more than a year later, and entered the area ruled by the Changsheng Sect from the Zhengdao League.
The speed of the flying boat is still not fast. The hidden formation has been opened long ago, hiding in the clouds, moving slowly.
Chu Mu is still sitting cross-legged in the cabin, and he is a little bit crazy. His hair is disheveled, and his eyes are fixed on the book of pill recipes.
In the cabin, various spiritual medicine residues are also scattered all over the floor.
The strong smell of medicine with a little rotten smell lingers in the cabin, but Chu Mu did not completely ignore it, and he was still thinking about the pill recipe that he had modified countless times.
"Forget it..."
Finally, Chu Mu seemed to have figured something out. He exhaled a breath of foul air and suddenly collapsed in the cabin. Two pill recipes fell in front of him.
He raised his finger lightly, and the two pill recipes were swept by a breeze and landed steadily on the table.
With another wave of his sleeves, the dirt in the cabin was also swept away.
He sat up and fixed his eyes on the two pill recipes in front of him.
Both pill recipes are made with Zhongshi Lingru as the core, and they are also second-level top-grade pill recipes. Each pill recipe has been modified countless times.
However, the two pill recipes have different medicinal effects.
One pill recipe is designed to perfectly exert the effect of Zhongshi Lingru, which is equivalent to a pure and extreme body refining medicine.
The other pill recipe balances body refining and magic power, but obviously, balance also means that the medicinal effect is balanced, and it is impossible to have the terrifying body refining effect of the first pill recipe.
He pondered for a moment, and with a single hand, the two recipes and the recipe book were all stored in the storage talisman.
He looked out the window, and what came into view was no longer the mountains and ravines of the past, but only yellow sand and Gobi, and dust all over the sky.
Obviously, now, he has stepped into the northwest region, passing through the desert Gobi called Wugu, and then passing through the land of three counties, which is the end of this journey... Changzhou!
That is the hometown of Mr. Li who lived in seclusion as the man said before.
He couldn't be sure whether the news was true or not.
He couldn't be sure whether what Mr. Li said to the man was true or not.
But for him, this trip was a must.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
There is no doubt that the distance of this trip is very far.
If the Great Chu Xiuxian world was still peaceful in the past, such a long distance would not be considered a difficult task.
It is even more convenient to take a few flying boats through the Changsheng Sect's flying boat transportation system, or directly spend spirit stones to go through the Changsheng Sect's teleportation array.
Now that the war is prolonged, he can only choose to travel by himself, and he has to avoid many places, which is extremely cumbersome.
Moreover, in order to make the flying boat conceal its tracks, the speed cannot be too fast. If it is too fast, the spiritual energy fluctuations cannot be hidden at all and are extremely conspicuous.
In this situation, it is really inconvenient to travel such a long distance.
He watched for a moment, thought a little, and raised his hand, and the top-grade spiritual instrument furnace appeared in the cabin.
True fire emerged, and several bottles of bell stone spiritual milk, as well as many matching spiritual medicines, also appeared.
Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breath for several hours, and when he opened his eyes again, the "spiritual light blessing" came again.
Two kinds of spiritual milk pills.
Divide them in half and refine them.
Amid the blazing true fire, the faint fragrance of elixirs also lingered in the cabin.
A large bag of spiritual stones was piled in front of Wangcai. Every once in a while, Wangcai would bite the bag of spiritual stones and place the spiritual stones in the spiritual energy driving cores of the flying boat, replacing the spiritual stones that had exhausted their spiritual energy.
The flying boat still moved forward slowly and orderly, passing through the Wugu Desert and slowly crossing several counties in the northwest.
Under the deliberate detour, there was only the hustle and bustle of the world along the way, and it was difficult to see any traces of the northern border cultivation world.
All the way... it was rare to be peaceful, and there were no accidents.
It was not until half a year later that the flying boat flying under the sky slowly landed.
In the cabin, the true fire happened to go out.
Several bottles of stalactite spiritual milk, dozens of spiritual medicines matched with stalactite spiritual milk, the final result was twenty-one furnaces of spiritual milk pills.
Each furnace of spiritual milk pills produced an average of nine pills, totaling two hundred and one spiritual milk pills.
Among them, there were eighteen one-dan pattern spirit milk pills and three two-dan pattern spirit milk pills.
He rolled up his sleeves and put away dozens of bottles of pills and pill furnaces, then looked outside the cabin of the flying boat.
The flying boat hovered on the top of a mountain, and it could easily overlook the scenery of dozens of miles below the mountain.
A secular city just below the mountain was Changzhou County.
According to him, Changzhou was adjacent to Chudu, and it was the gateway to the capital of Chu.
In the direction he was looking at now, extending about a thousand miles, it was the place where Chudu was located.
He rubbed his forehead, as if he had a headache.
Changzhou was not small at all.
Moreover, the geographical location adjacent to Chudu also meant that there were definitely not a few cultivators here.
In such a large place, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a person.
"Forget it."
He let out a long breath, jumped off the flying boat, raised his hand and rolled it up, and put the flying boat into the storage ring.
"Let's go."
He patted Wangcai, and as his mind moved slightly, a hidden formation was activated on Wangcai's armor.
The formation was simple and could not be hidden from the immortal cultivators, but it was more than enough to confuse the eyes of ordinary mortals.
Whether Mr. Li really returned to the secular world or not, the focus this time was obviously on the secular world of Changzhou...
