Chapter 72 - 62 Tianmayuan
Chapter 72: Chapter 62 Tianmayuan
Is this the famous Tianma Plain?
Liu Suiyun was full of curiosity about this grassland with legendary colors.
He stayed at Feiyun Inn for more than half a month. During this time, he completely integrated into the top-level Qi Refining cultivator circle where the Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level was. He could even be said to be like a fish in water. Everyone knew that a remarkable Xing Suiyun had come to Feiyun Inn.
Those most exclusive small circles in Jiazhou market all opened their doors to this little cultivator with only the fourth level of Qi Refining. And Liu Suiyun lived up to everyone\'s expectations. He always brought surprises to everyone. Sometimes his one or two remarks were enough to shock the whole audience.
These successes were both due to Liu Suiyun\'s years of experience in the Jianghu and benefited from Gu Yinghua\'s unreserved and wholehearted teaching. Later, Liu Suiyun even revealed a little bit. Everyone knew that his success was not without reason. Instead, there was a successful wife standing behind him: "My wife is a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Although no one knew exactly what was going on, the fact that there might be a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind Liu Suiyun dispelled any fantasies of making a move on Liu Suiyun. Instead, it made him one of the most popular cultivators in the entire Jiazhou market. In the internal exchanges of many small circles, Liu Suiyun gained comprehensive recognition.
Of course, there is a reward for every effort. Liu Suiyun benefited immensely from these circles. With the method obtained from the Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level, Liu Suiyun bought a bottle of Peiyuan Pills and soon broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining and became a real mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. His strength increased by nearly thirty percent.
The medicinal power of Peiyuan Pills was extraordinary. In this half month, Liu Suiyun not only completely consolidated his cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining but also continuously improved his cultivation to the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. As long as he made more efforts, he would be expected to advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
There were also many gains in other aspects. Liu Suiyun was originally purely self-taught plus the cramming college-style education from Gu Yinghua. In this more than half a month, he not only showed signs of integrating the two but also integrated the insights and experiences of these Qi Refining cultivators in Jiazhou market.
If it weren\'t for the urgent trip to the Tianma Plain, Liu Suiyun would really like to stay in Jiazhou market and leave after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
When he left Jiazhou market, many senior late-stage Qi Refining cultivators expressed their intention to retain him and hoped he could stay for a longer time. The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level even held Liu Suiyun\'s hand and said, "I really don\'t want you to leave like this. See you again on Shenxiao Mountain! If you encounter any trouble, just report my name. Don\'t worry. I, Wang Qinian, am extremely powerful, omnipresent, and omnipotent. I have friends everywhere, no matter in the south or the north!"
Liu Suiyun couldn\'t help but smile. Was the name Wang Qinian very famous?
The guide\'s voice interrupted Liu Suiyun\'s memories: "That\'s right, Boss Xing! This is the Tianma Plain, the famous Tianma Plain..."
The Tianma Plain is a controversial territory on the border between the Great Han Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom. This plateau is three or four thousand miles in circumference. In theory, it is large enough to establish a country. There are not only endless hundreds of miles of deserts but also lush oases, more green ice river grasslands, and tens of thousands of feet of snow-capped peaks. The terrain is extremely complex.
Both the Great Han Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom have tried several times to extend their tentacles into this extremely wide Tianma Plain. However, the complex terrain and unique witchcraft on this land have disappointed outsiders and made them return in disappointment. Eventually, this land has become a no-man\'s land between the two countries. Countless desperadoes regard this place as their destination. No one knows how many evil cultivators are hiding here. It is said that there are also demonic cultivators of the Supreme Demon Sect.
But all these sceneries did not completely attract Liu Suiyun\'s attention. In fact, most of his attention was actually on his palm. Strictly speaking, it was on the rhombic ice jade.
This ice jade was a good thing that the silver-haired loli secretly handed to Liu Suiyun before leaving. But up to now, Liu Suiyun still hasn\'t figured out what this thing is.
He only knew that this rhombic ice jade was transparent and crystal clear, and at a glance, it was extremely pure. But this was just a layer of ice covering the outside of the ice jade. The really terrifying thing was the cyan part covered by this layer of ice.
Liu Suiyun explored the condensed core part that was like bluestone with his spiritual sense. Soon his spiritual sense escaped at the fastest speed. At the first moment, Liu Suiyun confirmed that the core of this ice jade was actually a terrifying tribulation thunder.
That\'s right, this is a real tribulation thunder. It is a powerful tribulation thunder that Liu Suiyun cannot resist head-on even with all his strength and can only be reduced to ashes directly. The silver-haired loli doesn\'t know what method she used to collect a cyan tribulation thunder and condense it into a cyan jade the size of an egg. Then she wrapped a layer of mysterious ice on the outside.
Although Liu Suiyun couldn\'t confirm what kind of tribulation thunder this cyan egg was, after being collected by the silver-haired loli, its power seemed to have greatly decreased. Otherwise, Liu Suiyun wouldn\'t have only vomited three mouthfuls of blood afterwards. But Liu Suiyun estimated that if the tribulation thunder hidden in this ice jade could be triggered, it would definitely be able to blow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to pieces.
Because according to the information Liu Suiyun obtained in Wang Qinian\'s small circle, ordinary thunder-based magic tools and spiritual tools like "Heavenly Thunder Beads" and "Lightning-attracting Pearls" are only the size of ordinary beads, at most a little larger than the fingertip. They already have the killing power of a full-strength attack by a quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivator and are regarded as the trump card of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. They can even be used to challenge Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But the tribulation thunder hidden in this ice jade is almost the size of an egg, not to mention the cyan light that flows from time to time. Liu Suiyun estimated that throwing it out would at least have the power of a full-strength attack by a mid-to-late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It might even have the power of a full-strength attack by a quasi-Golden Core cultivator.
But the problem is that no matter what Liu Suiyun has seen and heard, or the dozen or so notebooks left by Gu Yinghua, or even the result of Liu Suiyun\'s roundabout inquiries in Jiazhou market, Liu Suiyun still hasn\'t figured out how to use this ice jade.
Moreover, this ice-thunder cyan jade is extremely dangerous. If the hidden power explodes, it can blow Liu Suiyun to pieces at any time. Therefore, Liu Suiyun doesn\'t dare to act recklessly. He can only hold the ice-thunder cyan jade tightly and constantly ponder to find a truly practical method.
Having a precious treasure but not knowing how to use it. When Liu Suiyun tasted this feeling again, he felt even more the preciousness of knowledge and wisdom and thought of the "Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs" that he couldn\'t forget.
Although Shen Que\'er only gave a book title, it gave Liu Suiyun and Wang Qinian endless hope. They thought that following the map to find the book would surely yield results. Spiritual planting techniques had already opened the door for them.
But they mobilized the power of the entire circle, and no one had heard of this book. Later, it was only through the relationship of a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect that they found out that this book was an immortal book compiled by a certain senior of the Linghua Sect, which contained a comprehensive collection of spiritual herbs in the world. If one wanted to buy it, one had to go to the market in the Great Chu Kingdom.
Since this immortal book is called "Essentials of Spiritual Herbs", it is naturally all-encompassing and inclusive. It is said that there are a total of seven hundred and sixty volumes and no less than ten thousand fascicles. Among them, there are tens of thousands of full-color illustrations alone. But the price is also not a small amount. It is said that such an immortal book costs three hundred spirit stones in the market of the Chu Kingdom.
Three hundred spirit stones! As soon as he heard this number, Liu Suiyun almost despaired. His entire fortune was only fifteen spirit stones. Although he had earned three or five spirit stones sporadically in Jiazhou market this time, his expenses were even greater. In the end, only these fifteen spirit stones were left. Unless there was a great opportunity, he could not gather three hundred spirit stones in any case.
In any case, this "Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs" must be obtained.
Liu Suiyun gently held the ice-thunder cyan jade in one hand and secretly made up his mind. But at this moment, the hired warrior suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"
"Xu Zhaori!"
A resounding name came from the opposite side: "We are subordinates of Lord Xu Zhaori. Friend, I see that you haven\'t obtained Lord Xu\'s flag. There may be danger along the way. So we specially come to inform you."
As they spoke, a large group of horse thieves had already charged out from the opposite side. All of them were shrewd and tough, with astonishing riding skills. Some drew their bows and nocked arrows, while others held bows and lifted swords. They were all first-rate experts and immediately surrounded Liu Suiyun\'s small convoy.
Although the hired warriors had received Liu Suiyun\'s gold leaves, they had no intention of resisting at all. Instead, they quickly pushed the responsibility onto Liu Suiyun: "Our boss is an old acquaintance of Lord Xu. So he specially bought three carts of goods and came to give them to Lord Xu."
This was the story that Liu Suiyun had agreed with them in advance. Although these small warriors didn\'t know how powerful Liu Suiyun really was, they believed Liu Suiyun\'s words. And when this group of horse thieves heard this, they also surrounded the convoy from all directions but became polite: "Which friend is the boss? Come out and meet me, Xia Jingjue."
Liu Suiyun still only lifted half of the carriage curtain and glanced through the horse team. But he sighed faintly and couldn\'t help feeling a little sad.
Among these eighty or ninety horse thieves, there were very few old acquaintances. This made him suddenly feel that all his elegance had been washed away by the rain. He didn\'t know how his old friends were doing now and whether they would be willing to follow him back to Tianji County and have a decisive battle with the Pang family.
While feeling sad, he had already put the ice-thunder cyan jade in his palm into his arms. But suddenly, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura from the horse thieves.
Huh? Although he cultivated both martial arts and Taoism and couldn\'t be considered highly accomplished, he was also at the mid-stage of Qi Refining plus the Yuanlong realm. Anyway, he was a first-rate expert in the Jianghu. As long as he didn\'t encounter a real Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could be said to have the strength to fight. How could there be such a strong person in this team of horse thieves who could make him feel like facing a powerful enemy just by their exposed aura?
His eyelids twitched, and he had already found the knight in full-body armored cavalry among the horse thieves. His heart couldn\'t help but be shocked: "It\'s actually spiritual armor? When did Xu Zhaori have such a strong person wearing spiritual armor by his side!"
