Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 91: The Willing One Takes the Bait
Three thousand four hundred miles south of Baihe City in Lanzhou is Changbai Mountain.
Changbai Mountain is a continuous mountain range with white pumice and snow on the main peak.
There is a saying among the local people that "Thousands of years of snow and tens of thousands of years of pine trees lead straight to the first peak in Lanzhou."
Due to the emergence of the rumor of "Golden Well and Jade Railings", many monks have come from afar in recent days, so Changbai Mountain is much more lively than before.
In fact, let’s not talk about whether this “Golden Well and Jade Railing” really exists. Even if it does, the truth of cause and effect is so mysterious and obscure that, except for a small number of cultivators, what use is it for most people to obtain it?
Moreover, according to rumors, this "Golden Well Jade Rail" is a spirit, which means it can move and hide on its own. Changbai Mountain is so big, how can we find it? Isn't this just a waste of time for something that can't be used?
Therefore, at the beginning, although the rumor of "Golden Well and Jade Railing" appeared, not many people were really interested in coming to Changbai Mountain to search for treasure. After all, there were only a few really stupid monks.
Until a few days ago, another incident happened: a wandering cultivator encountered the "Golden Well and Jade Rail" again in Changbai Mountain. Although he failed to catch it in the end, he snatched a ginseng beard from its body.
And this ginseng beard was soon bought by another middle-aged monk for a large sum of money.
No one else saw the "Golden Well and Jade Railings", but many people saw with their own eyes the scene where the middle-aged monk spent a large sum of money to buy the ginseng beard.
This incident confirmed two pieces of news:
First, there really is a 'Golden Well and Jade Lan' in Changbai Mountain, because apart from the ginseng beard of 'Golden Well and Jade Lan', what other ginseng beard of this magical medicine would be so valuable?
Second, although this 'Golden Well and Jade Railing' is of no use to them, with the example of a middle-aged monk who paid a fortune for a horse bone, everyone understands that as long as they catch it, someone will definitely be willing to pay a high price for it, so there is no need to worry about not making money.
So, many people couldn't hold back and came to Changbai Mountain to look for treasures.
…
In the wave of the whole nation searching for treasures in the mountains , Lu Qingshan used the ancient night jade to change his appearance and quietly entered the Changbai Mountain area.
Yes, he came after all.
If you want to improve your artistic conception, it is not something that can be solved by seclusion. You have to travel outside, seeking opportunities and the so-called inspiration.
We are traveling anyway, and since there is news that the Golden Well and Jade Railing, which contains the mysterious cause and effect, has appeared in Changbai Mountain, why not come and take a look?
There is a small town at the foot of Changbai Mountain, built on the only way to enter Changbai Mountain.
The town was initially developed because of the relatively abundant medicinal resources in Changbai Mountain. It was a place that specifically provided services for monks who entered Changbai Mountain to collect medicinal herbs.
If you want to find the "Golden Well and Jade Railings", you can't act recklessly like a headless fly.
That's like looking for a needle in a haystack, so stupid.
Therefore, the first thing Lu Qingshan did after entering the Changbai Mountain area was to go into the small town which was particularly lively at that time to inquire about the news about Jinjing Yulan.
But he didn't notice that among the many checkpoints in this small town, there were one or two monks hiding with normal expressions but holding an ancient bronze mirror in their arms.
Just after he entered the town, a monk's expression changed. He quietly took out a communication device and started to pass on some message.
…
A hidden palace room in the small town.
"How is it?" Yin Du, a monk from the Soul-Seeking Division, looked at his subordinate who had just entered and asked with a cold snort.
"Sir, through the monitoring of the Zhaoxiu Mirror, there are a total of twelve Nascent Soul cultivators who have come to Changbai Mountain in the past ten days. We have checked them all and none of them is Lu Qingshan..." Ming Yuanzi replied very respectfully.
This time, their action strategy was very similar to that of the last time in the Western Region Underworld. They used the Zhaoxiu realm and started with their cultivation - no matter how Lu Qingshan's appearance changed, his cultivation was stuck at the Nascent Soul stage due to his artistic conception and it could not be changed.
Therefore, they only need to check the cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, which will save energy and ensure that there will be no mistakes.
Ming Yuanzi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, will the momentum we created really lure Lu Qingshan here? I have a feeling that this person is not that easy to fool..."
"We just need to complete the tasks assigned by the higher-ups," Yin Du said nonchalantly, and then reminded: "Make sure everyone is ready, right? This Lu Qingshan has caused the East Region and West Region to fail in succession, which is quite extraordinary. If you let him escape because of your negligence this time, you know the consequences..."
"Don't worry, sir. We are all on high alert. Once Lu Qingshan shows up, we will definitely set up a trap to make sure he dies!" Ming Yuanzi felt uneasy and quickly patted his chest to assure him, "Moreover, the scale of our move this time is beyond the reach of the arrogant Eastern and Western regions. We will definitely win!"
Yin Du glanced at his confident subordinates and said coldly, "That's good."
Ming Yuanzi was about to leave after saying his goodbyes, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, because the latest news came from the communication device hanging around his waist.
Ming Yuanzi said hurriedly: "Sir, that Lu Qingshan really appeared!"
The words were shocking, and Yin Du, who had originally had a cold face, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Did they actually trick Lu Qingshan into coming here?
The next moment, Yin Du came back to his senses and stood up suddenly, "What are we waiting for? We will succeed in this battle. All the men will be mobilized, and we will fight quickly and decisively. Once we capture Lu Qingshan, we will immediately transfer him through the teleportation array!"
"Yes, sir!" Ming Yuanzi said excitedly.
This is an unimaginable achievement!
…
The town became extremely lively because of the appearance of Jinjing Yulan, and many businesses made a small fortune from it.
They are the only group of monks in the town at this moment who hope that Jinjing Yulan can be more cunning, hold out a little longer, and preferably never be caught.
Jack Ma is one of these businessmen.
He ran a grocery store, which sold maps of Changbai Mountain.
When these foreign monks want to go into the mountains to search for treasure, the first thing they do is to buy a map, so his business has been booming recently.
Ma Yun, in a good mood, was calmly talking to the middle-aged monk who had just come in and wanted to buy a map.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise and a black light came, directly overturning his grocery store.
Not knowing what was going on, Jack Ma looked up in confusion.
Then he noticed that there were dozens of dark shadows around the town heading straight for his overturned grocery store.
At the same time, dozens of undisguised auras burst out from these black shadows.
Ma Yun’s heart trembled.
That is the breath of a cultivator in the realm of refining emptiness!
Dozens of Void Refining Monks! What's going on?!
The town is not big, and for a cultivator of the Void Refinement Realm, this distance is just a matter of raising a foot.
Therefore, an encirclement was formed in an instant, and dozens of Void-Refining cultivators surrounded the grocery store. There was not just one layer, but layers upon layers, which looked extremely thick.
The leader was a monk in a blood-red robe, standing in front with a cold look in his eyes.
Ma Yun's legs were shaking, and he was confused. "You mobilized such a big force just to rob my shabby grocery store?"
“I didn’t expect that we would build up momentum and make such a big move just to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator like you…” Yin Du looked at Lu Qingshan, who was dressed as a middle-aged cultivator, and said in a sinister voice, revealing a grim smile: “Lu Qingshan, this is called…”
"Take the bait if you're willing!"
