Yang Junshan didn't know that there had been real-life monks sneaking into Xishan Village, and he didn't know that there had been masters secretly plotting against the Yang family's foundation. When Li Laosan was called for questioning by the Yang family's law office, he had already left the Yang family. , after passing through Lin County, turned westward, all the way into the boundary of Xizhou.
Compared with the distinctive characteristics of regional differentiation of counties in other large states, the names of the seven counties in Xizhou are extremely confusing. The names of these seven counties are Shajun, Gejun, Chenjun, Biaojun, Lanjun, Piaojun and Sa. County, and on the surface, Xizhou should be the most barren area in the world. At least most of Xizhou is covered by barren beaches, Gobi, and deserts. For mortals, even low-level monks, It can be regarded as a relatively harsh living environment.
But the fact is not the case. The overall strength of the Xizhou cultivation community in this world is extremely high. It may not be as good as Yanzhou and Leizhou, but it is better than other big states. Among them, the Zifeng Sect is the top in the cultivation world. In the entire cultivation world, only a few sects such as Lingyi Sect, Feiliu Sword Sect, and Zixiao Pavilion can rival him in terms of power.
The natural environment of Xizhou seems to be harsh, but there are always oases in no matter how desolate the area is. And perhaps because most of the areas in Xizhou are too barren, the essence of the entire Xizhou world is concentrated towards these oases. Therefore, whenever The existence of an oasis often contains rich cultivation resources, which can fully support a large or small monk settlement.
So a phenomenon emerged. While monks from other states were searching for cultivation resources scattered in remote corners or buried deep underground, the monks from Xizhou only needed to find them in the desert. An oasis will solve it all.
On the surface, Xizhou seems to have a harsh environment, but in fact, the cultivation resources are extremely rich and concentrated. This means that the monks in Xizhou do not have to travel around to collect various cultivation resources most of the time. However, the various forces in Xizhou In addition to looking at the number of high-level monks, a more intuitive criterion is to look at the number of oases that this force controls and the size of these oases.
As the veritable first sect in Xizhou, the area occupied by the Zifeng Sect may not be too large overall. It is only two and a half counties in total, including all of Chen County and Ge County and most of Sha County. But in fact, the number and area of oases in these three major counties ranked third, second and first among the seven counties respectively. This shows the strength of the Purple Wind Sect.
Among the seven counties in Xizhou, Sha County, which is the richest, is the most desolate. This statement sounds absurd, but in the ears of the monks, it is absolutely correct. This is a vast desert, and the chance of seeing vegetation may not even be seen before. The chance of corpses being buried in the desert sand is much smaller. Because of this, any oases that exist in the sand county are richer in resources than the other six counties.
More importantly, Sha County is the only entrance to the ancient Jedi in Xizhou after it is opened. Whenever the ancient Jedi is opened, a large-scale mirage comes, but any real-life monk who controls the escape light has the opportunity to enter the ancient Jedi through the mirage. among.
The key to entering the Ancient Jedi lies in the mirage of Shajun, not in a fixed area. Therefore, whenever the opening date of the Ancient Jedi approaches, the frequency of high-level monks coming in and out of various oases in Shajun
There are more. They only need to wait for the mirage to come, and they don't need to be wary of each other like other forbidden places when they open.
Yang Junshan arrived at a medium-sized oasis called Emerald Lake in Shajun seven days ago. This is a gathering place of resources under the control of Guanlan Sect, the second-rate sect in Xizhou. The foundation of this oasis is built in the center of the oasis. Around a small lake called Emerald Lake, and this small lake with an area of less than seven or eight miles is supported by a large water vein. This alone makes Yang Junshan speechless, let alone this Various other gathered resources besides large water veins.
You must know that a large water vein is enough to support a large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles. After the Yang family's large water vein was formed, the clear water of an ordinary river simply could not bear it. For a long time, Even Yang Junshan and the Sancai Spirit Gathering Array could not solve the problem of spiritual energy dissipating along the Qinshui River, which attracted many monks from around to settle down, causing the already prosperous markets on both sides of the Qinshui River to extend downstream again.
But here, only a small lake with a radius of less than ten miles is manifested, and the aura of the large water veins below is not leaked at all. In other words, the essence of the water veins is completely contained in the emerald lake. Yang Junshan knows it without even thinking about it. There must be many rare treasures in this lake because of its water veins.
This is indeed the case. There is a kind of emerald clam living in the oasis of Emerald Lake. The clam shell is emerald in color and suddenly looks like a perfect piece of emerald jade. Among these emerald clams are produced a kind of jade beads called jade beads. Spiritual materials, this spiritual material is of high quality and has a wide range of uses. It can be used to refine magic weapons. After grinding, it can also be used to refine elixirs and make talismans. It is even a high-quality spiritual material for arranging formations, especially for illusions. Formations such as formations and mazes are more effective.
In order to protect this oasis, Guanlan Sect sent at least three real people to guard it, including a Tiangang monk.
Yang Junshan came to Shajun this time. The reason why he chose the Emerald Lake Oasis to stay was that in addition to deliberately avoiding the oasis controlled by the Zifeng Sect, one of the most important reasons was that he came because of the reputation of the Emerald Pearl. Master Dharma, he naturally knows the principle of "ten formations and nine illusions", so the attraction of the jade beads to him can be imagined.
Of course, the so-called "ten formations and nine illusions" does not mean that nine of the ten formations are essentially illusion formations, but that most of the formations use techniques related to illusion formations during the layout process. But even so , Jade beads are usually the treasures that array masters covet.
However, the process of obtaining jade beads was obviously not smooth. Guanlan Sect had very strict control over jade beads. Yang Junshan spent a lot of effort and cost in the past few days, but only got a dozen of them. Low-quality jade beads and five medium-quality jade beads.
The jade beads produced in the Emerald Lake are divided into four grades: good, medium and poor. Jade beads of medium and poor quality may be obtained through trading in the oasis, while jade beads of good quality and above are not found at all. It is said that they have all been stolen by Guanlan. Zong collected it, and apart from personal use, only those "old customers" who had good relations with Guanlan Zong could get it.
After hitting the wall several times, Yang Junshan, unwilling to accept it, naturally set his sights on the jade clams in the Emerald Lake. However, after some careful exploration, his heart became cold. The entire Emerald Lake and the large water below.
The pulse is surrounded by a formation, and that formation is clearly the work of the formation master!
