Chapter 779 Emerald Lake
Emerald Lake.
In the early morning, the sky was still dark, and a light mist covered the lake. A few boats were swaying and rippled.
In the silence of heaven and earth, the spiritual jadeite mine on the lakeside had already stirred up some noise.
Emerald Lake is located in the northwest of Wanshan Country. In the past, this area was still a chaotic area due to the disputes between various forces in the southwest.
In a chaotic place, there is no strong order, so it naturally becomes a place where evil cultivators from all sides gather.
The chaos lasted for hundreds of years until the Changsheng Sect launched a large-scale attack on the southwest. After the Langya Wang family suffered repeated defeats, perhaps in order to continue the family inheritance and lay out a retreat, the Langya Wang family also transferred part of the family power to the southwestern countries early.
And this no-man's land naturally became a place for the Langya Wang family to lay out.
However, since the Wang family is for the continuation of the family inheritance, it is naturally impossible to make a big move.
After all, in Da Chu, the Changsheng Sect is eyeing covetously.
In the southwest, the countries in the southwest are no longer the era when the Wang family of Langya can cover the sky with one hand.
The Tianzhu League has emerged as a new force, occupying most of the southwest, and has become a whale-swallowing trend.
Although it is not so that the Wang family cannot be tolerated, once it is discovered, it will either be exterminated or become a puppet.
Quietly, without anyone noticing, the Wang family changed the surname of this no-man's land.
Even the Changsheng Sect has only noticed some traces in recent years. After following the clues, they have glimpsed the layout of the Wang family.
However, this place is not in the territory of Da Chu. After the Changsheng Sect glimpsed the existence of this place, it can only be out of reach and can only wait for the future.
Of course, the most important reason is that the relationship between the Tianzhu League in the southwest and the Changsheng Sect is not harmonious.
Given the relationship between the two, the Tianzhu League obviously would not mind using the remnants of the Wang family to cause some trouble for the Changsheng Sect.
Just like the Changsheng Sect’s plotting and stirring up trouble in the Hanhai, turning the originally peaceful Hanhai cultivation world upside down.
Just like the chaos in the southwest border of Da Chu in recent years, if there was no intervention from external forces, it would be impossible for some defeated remnants to remain active for hundreds of years under the siege of Changsheng Sect.
Most of the cultivators on the wanted list of Caiyun Garrison are from the southwestern countries.
And Chu Mu’s goal of this trip is also an evil cultivator wanted by Changsheng Sect, but this wanted is not an evil cultivator on the wanted list of Caiyun Garrison, but an evil cultivator ranked 38th on the wanted list of Changsheng Sect.
His name is Yunying, a cultivator from Wanshan Country. During the civil strife in Da Chu, he served the Righteous Alliance.
If it were just that, he would not be on the wanted list of Changsheng Sect. After all, being a casual cultivator driven by profit is obviously a normal thing in this world of immortal cultivation.
As long as the crime is not extremely serious, there will be no post-war reckoning.
In recent years, Changsheng Sect has also pardoned the world many times, even some non-direct descendants of major families have been pardoned.
And Yunying, compared with Changsheng Sect, is naturally a very evil existence.
According to statistics, there are nearly a thousand Changsheng Sect disciples who have fallen at the hands of this person.
Among them, there are three Jindan elders of Changsheng Sect. In recent years, this person has repeatedly caused chaos in the southwestern counties, causing chaos and directly or indirectly causing the death of more than a hundred disciples of Caiyun Town Guard House.
Moreover, this person has offended many forces in the southwestern countries and has been wanted and hunted down.
According to the information of Tianji Pavilion of Changsheng Sect, this person has appeared in Emerald Lake in recent months.
But then, he disappeared again, and it was hard to find his trace.
On the boat, Chu Mu stood at the bow, and the divine consciousness flowing in the jade slip finally slowly converged.
The information in the jade slip was clear. Everything that could be found about Yun Ying's cultivation, methods, and even his life experience was recorded and recorded in this jade slip.
He came here this time, of course, not to hunt down the so-called evil cultivator. Now he obviously didn't have the extra time and energy.
There was only one purpose for coming here.
That is to refine the Night Crying Stone!
And Yun Ying was a Gu cultivator, and he happened to have the spiritual root qualification of the wood attribute.
Of course, his target was not only Yun Ying.
From the relevant information of the Intelligence Department of Caiyun Garrison and even the Tianji Pavilion of Changsheng Sect, there were as many as five third-level wood-attribute Gu cultivators in Wanshan Country alone, including Yun Ying.
However, except for Yun Ying who was an evil cultivator wanted by Changsheng Sect, the other four were all from the local forces of Wanshan Country that were friendly with Changsheng Sect, and could even be said to be supported by Changsheng Sect. They were some important chess pieces of Changsheng Sect to contain the expansion of Tianzhu League.
Since he was the true disciple of Changsheng, it was obvious that he could not attack these people unless it was absolutely necessary.
And the third-level wood attribute Gu cultivators in other southwestern countries that he knew were basically the same.
Either they were friendly with Changsheng Sect, or they were completely hostile to Changsheng Sect, or they were affiliated with Tianzhu League. In this foreign land, he naturally could not be without scruples.
His thoughts flashed away, and the jade slip was slowly put down. Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and his sleeves rolled up, and the true order on his waist hung in his palm.
On the token, the authority of the secret world had long dissipated, and the sound transmission imprints of the two Yuanying Taishangs that he specially marked did not see any movement.
Looking at this true message, Chu Mu frowned slightly, and it was obvious that he was a little suspicious.
When he came out of the secret world, he stayed near Yunhua Mountain temporarily. According to his expectation, firstly, there might be subsequent losses in the secret world, such as the words of the Xuancheng ancestor about washing away the filth with the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and the changes of the great formation of heaven and earth.
Secondly, it was the matter of the immortal mansion. After all, the immortal mansion was located in the secret world. Although his actions in the immortal mansion would not be noticed by it, his entry into the immortal mansion was obviously not hidden from the surveillance of the secret world, let alone the two Yuanying Taishang who controlled the secret world.
But strangely, he waited outside Yunhua Mountain for several months, but there was no movement. The two Yuanying Taishang came out of the secret world, and the various scenes he expected did not appear.
Even without asking him any questions about these two things, the two hurriedly left Caiyun County...
The matter of the secret realm seemed to be over, and there was no follow-up...
"Did he not notice it? Or was it for some other reason?"
Chu Mu was puzzled, full of doubts, and could not find any possible answers.
Although the matter of the secret realm was so peacefully concluded, it was naturally a great thing for him.
But it was so strange...
"Forget it..."
Chu Mu let out a long breath, and shook his head. No matter how much he was entangled, it was meaningless.
He couldn't ask the two Yuanying Taishang for anything.
The current heavy weight was still the Night Crying Stone and the Pulling Silk Gu.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu's consciousness moved slightly, sensing his own cultivation.
It has been many years since the outer sea that year.
Under the trouble of injuries, there was naturally no progress in cultivation.
The only change, perhaps, is that after the physical injury was repaired, the unstable foundation caused by the lack of origin has been gradually consolidated after these years of wasting time.
Until now, although he still does not have the solid foundation as before, it is definitely not a weak foundation.
Once the soul injury is healed, the last shackle that restricts his cultivation progress will be dissipated...
In the outer sea, there is still a heavenly spiritual fire that is still gestating.
Spiritual fire feeding back...
Golden elixir perfection?
Chu Mu's heart beat violently for a few times, but soon, he forced this tempting thought down.
That heavenly spiritual fire...
How to use it exactly is still to be considered.
However, with a lifespan of more than 200 years, even if he can break through to the perfection of the golden elixir, as long as he has not formed an infant, it will only be a temporary solution and will not have much significance.
But if this spiritual fire is used for other purposes...
Or in other words, if the spiritual fire is used on the similar flower, it will grow and bear fruit...
Can it change fate?
The answer is also vague.
Human beings are dead things, not puppets. Now, the similar flower still has some uncertainty.
Chu Mu thought for a while, and then shook his sleeves. The boat that was floating slowly on the lake suddenly became like an arrow, leaving only a conspicuous wave ripple on the lake, and then disappeared into the thick fog.
When the boat docked, the silence in the lake was gone on this shore, and there was only the noisy hustle and bustle of people.
On the shore of Emerald Lake, there is a spiritual jade mine. Although the spiritual jade is only an ordinary spiritual jade material of the second-grade lower grade, it is not a high-grade spiritual material, but the spiritual jade mine in this lake is also very large.
The three mountains that stretch for more than a thousand miles along the lake are all places with long mineral veins. There are also several crisscrossing spiritual jade veins at the bottom of the Emerald Lake, which covers thousands of miles.
It is for this reason that this lake is named Emerald.
In these southwestern countries, the art of Gu cultivation is popular, and the art of skills is declining. In addition, the chaos in the southwest makes it difficult to form a procedural mining system like the Great Chu Xiuxian World. Naturally, this Emerald Lake has gathered a large number of low-level cultivators, or... miners.
Surrounding the spiritual jade ore materials, several mining camps have gradually evolved into several large-scale market cities.
And the spiritual jade mines are often accompanied by third-level jade ore materials such as emerald jade and cloud jade. In addition to the scale of the spiritual jade veins here, in these several market cities, in addition to the miners gathered here, the most are the business forces from all parties who come to purchase.
Several markets and spiritual cities are a hodgepodge of good and bad people. Although there is order, this order can be said to be extremely limited.
In such a chaotic place with good and bad people, it is normal for the evil cultivator Yunying to appear here.
According to the speculation of the Tianji Pavilion of the Changsheng Sect, the evil cultivator Yunying is likely to have been hiding in this Emerald Lake for a long time...
