Chapter 338： pretty ancient

Zhang Shiping looked up and saw that there was a fire spring at the bottom of the valley. The magma in the spring was bubbling and spouting green fire from time to time, so at first glance, the spring had a faint blue color.

And in the spring, there are several small black boats that are slowly moving, and there are three or four people on each black boat, holding something in their hands, as if they are collecting something, Zhang Shiping is standing too far away, can't see So real.

"This way, fellow Daoist Zhang, please." Qi Feng did not invite Zhang Shiping down to Huoquan, but led him along a stone path dug in the middle of the mountain. It is guarded by a railing, while the left side is leaning against rocks. The stone wall has not been polished smooth, and there are some edges and corners on it, which looks a little rough.

After the two walked for a while, they saw a cliff protruding seven or eight feet away in front of them. There was a bluestone pavilion on it. There was a stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and round stones several feet away. stool.

Qi Feng took a few quick steps, and led Zhang Shiping into the stone pavilion. As soon as he entered the stone pavilion, Zhang Shiping felt a cool air lingering in the pavilion. , Remove all the dry and hot air in the valley just now.

"Zhang Daoyou, you see, these stones in the pavilion are ice fire rocks, I got them from Cui Laokou." When Qi Feng said that, his expression was quite complacent. Seeing him like this, Zhang Shiping probably didn't spend many spirit stones. Or I'm afraid it was stolen.

Ice and fire rocks are produced from deep-sea black ice volcanoes. Ordinary ice and fire rocks are just a magic weapon material, but there is a kind of ice and fire beast bred in the black ice volcanoes. They like to use this kind of rocks to build lairs. Ice fire rock, after being contaminated with the breath of ice and fire beasts, will gradually transform. It is a high-grade magic weapon material that also contains the breath of ice and fire.

While Qi Feng was talking, he didn't stop his hands. As soon as he moved his consciousness, a purple-black wine jar appeared in his hand, and it hit the Binghuoyan table with a clang sound.

He took two gray pottery bowls by the way, and after removing the red cloth seal of the wine jar, Qi Feng grabbed the mouth of the jar and poured it into the bowl with a splash. The smell of wine, Qi Feng first took a bowl, drank it down, then put it down, poured another full bowl, and spilled some wine on the table.

"Zhang Daoyou, this is the Amber Light wine that I have treasured. It is made from three hundred to four hundred year old amber grass that grows in the deep sea of ​​mist, together with more than thirty kinds of elixir. Afterwards, it was sealed with an ice-fire rock altar, and stored in my Qinghuo Tandi in the valley for ten years. The vintage should not be too short. This wine is boring, and the vintage is too long. If it is too long, although the spiritual power is sufficient, the taste will change and there will be no such taste. Come on, Zhang Daoyou, you will know this wine once you taste it The beauty of it."

Zhang Shiping picked up the wine bowl, the wine in the bowl was like amber, just reaching his mouth, a very strange aroma of wine came in along his nose, he drank it all in one gulp, his eyes lit up immediately: "Good wine."

Seeing that Zhang Shiping liked it, Qi Feng immediately filled it up again. The two drank three bowls in a row before stopping.

"Qi Daoyou, there is plenty of time to drink wine, let's talk about those strange birds first!" Zhang Shiping took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. In the past two years, the Zhang family's caravan business has also been greatly affected, but Fortunately, the Zhang family only had five ships, and the loss could be afforded.

But Qi Feng seemed more refreshed, he swiped his hands left and right, and wiped away the wet drink from the corners of his mouth and chin, "You also know that these damned white-haired monster birds are not limited to the sea area ruled by our Xuanyuanzong. Yes, Misty Valley, Shuiyueyuan, Xuanming Palace and Bixiaozong also have a lot of them. The fish and sea beasts in the sea have inexplicably alienated into these strange birds, and they can't be killed. We can't squeeze out a few ounces of oil and water. Our five sects, some other small sects, and dozens of Nascent Soul families have jointly investigated for a long time before we found out the source of these strange birds."

"What kind of root cause?" Zhang Shiping asked calmly. It must not be a trivial matter to make the Five Sects and so many small sects and the Yuanying family jointly investigate for so long, otherwise they would not need to investigate for so long up. Although Zhang Shiping is the elder of Xuanyuanzong's outer sect, he has just joined, and he has not made any contribution. Some of the upper echelon of Xuanyuanzong obviously did not inform him of the news.

"Ancient Qi, there are 473 places found just now, not to mention the two inland seas in the southeast, we have found dozens of places in some places in Nanzhou, but it is very tricky! "Qi Feng poured another bowl of wine by himself, took a long gulp, then went to half the bowl, and then said solemnly.

Ancient Qi, in a sense, can be regarded as a kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but no matter whether it is human race, monster race or sea raceeven ghost cultivators, as long as this kind of spiritual energy is refined for a long time , will gradually lose consciousness, and finally become a savage beast without reason.

And there is also this kind of barbaric spirit in the ancient ocean, but it is not as concentrated as in the barren land. The ancient beasts wandering in the ocean, what they like most is to **** this ancient energy.

Some people speculate that the reason for the severance of ancient repairs is largely because of this ancient spirit.

"Ancient spirit!" After Zhang Shiping heard Qi Feng's words, he couldn't help showing his expression, "Except for the frontier region, how can there be ancient spirit in Nanzhou?"

Zhang Shiping never thought that these strange birds would involve ancient aura! The reason why Nanzhou is isolated from Ximo, Beijiang and other places is precisely because of this reason. Once a cultivator enters these places, once he uses mana, the rate of consumption will be several times higher than that of the outside world. There are countless wild beasts and ancient beasts living in it. Otherwise, how could Nanzhou, Ximo, and Beijiang be isolated from each other?

Of course, in addition to the ancient spirit, wild beasts, and ancient beasts, those space cracks that appear from time to time in the wilderness without any trace are also an extremely great threat to monks.

Otherwise, the barren land of hundreds of thousands of miles is not an unreachable distance for Jindan or Nascent Soul monks!

Baimang Mountain is right next to the western desert. Zhang Shiping, who was born there, how could he not know?

But fortunately, since ancient times, these wild beasts, ancient beasts have never stepped out of the wilderness. For Nanzhou monks, the barbaric spirit is similar to poison, and the heaven and earth aura existing in Nanzhou is not much different for barbaric beasts and ancient beasts. However, the ancient beasts on the Canggu Ocean, perhaps because of the living environment, they can not only absorb spiritual energy, but also devour ancient energy.
