Chapter 137 Soul Mountain
After finishing the absorption process, Yu Yao browsed the shop again and bought some random items and equipment.
I accumulated ten chances to enter the lottery and chose to enter without hesitation.
A flash of light appeared, and ten glittering squares appeared in front of Yu Yao.
20 Spirit Beast Fruits
Secret Technique - Barrier Technique x1
Summoning Order x3
Crystal Purple Lotus x1
Kowloon Crystal x1
10000 gold coins
Snowflake Talisman x10
Mystic Ice Talisman x1
Nine Heavens Divine Stone x1
Purgatory Stone x5
......
Well......
general!
It's really just so-so!
Although the Nine Dragon Crystal was the last necessary material for the magic weapon she wanted to refine.
Although the Purgatory Stone and the Nine Heavens Divine Stone, which are considered sacred materials for refining artifacts, are not bad, even if they are not what Yu Yao needs most right now, they are still essential materials for refining divine artifacts in the future.
Although the purple lotus is said to have petals that can be used in medicine, it is a holy medicine for detoxification.
But... it's just average!
As for the rest.
The Flying Snow Talisman, once activated, can transform an area within a ten-mile radius into a snowfield, where each snowflake carries immense destructive power.
The Mystic Ice Talisman, when activated, can unleash the strongest attack from a level three ice-type zombie.
Spirit Beast Fruit and Summoning Token are old favorites, no need for introduction.
The "Barrier Technique" is quite interesting. After learning it, one can set up different types of barriers based on their own abilities.
Examples include soundproof barriers, isolation barriers, and protective barriers.
The most outrageous thing is those 10000 gold coins, what the hell is that?!
Is she someone who's short of gold coins?
What are you doing here, taking up space!
How infuriating!
Yu Yao gritted her teeth and studied the "Barrier Technique" with a displeased expression.
......
The next day, the six people returned to Kyoto on Suzaku and Saiun respectively.
Five kilometers outside the Kyoto base, Chi Heng threw Lei Xuanqing down directly.
Ignoring Lei Xuanqing's accusing and dissatisfied gaze, he said, "He'an has already set his sights on us, so let's not add anything more. You can go back by yourself. By the way, He'an's file mentioned the words 'extreme cold,' remember to tell Elder Lei so we can prepare in advance."
Where are you going?
"Return to Thousand Soul Mountain."
As soon as Chi Heng finished speaking, the Vermilion Bird transformed into a red streak of light and vanished instantly.
Lei Xuanqing was initially speechless.
Upon hearing the words "extreme cold," his expression immediately changed, and he turned and ran quickly toward the base.
Not long after Lei Xuanqing left, Luo Pingjing and Jiang Yi arrived with the 1100 crystal cores that Nie Zhuoying had obtained.
The group then officially set off for Thousand Soul Mountain.
......
Senpaku-zan is a multi-peaked mountain located northwest of Kyoto.
It appears to be a series of overlapping mountains, with continuous mountain ranges.
It is actually just a mountain.
Moreover, each of the mountain peaks is a steep, sharp peak, making it impossible to climb.
When put together, they look just like a blooming stone lotus from a distance!
Many years ago, this place was also called Shilian Mountain!
The vegetation on Thousand Soul Mountain is exceptionally tall and lush, with dense forests and grasses, making it difficult for people to walk inside.
In addition, the mountain has a strange magnetic field, making it impossible to use any navigation tools.
Therefore, this place has always been a no-man's land that no one dares to explore.
If someone in the know takes a look, they will understand that there is actually a naturally formed illusion array in these mountains.
This is what led to all those strange phenomena.
......
Yu Yao stood at the foot of Thousand Soul Mountain, looking at the giant stone lotus with its array of strange peaks before her, feeling only awe.
but......
"Why are there mutated plants and no mutated animals in the mountains?"
It's not surprising that there are no zombies; after all, mutated plants and animals aren't exactly pushovers.
But with such a big mountain and so many trees, and some of them even growing bigger than many mutated plants, they shouldn't be mutated plants, right?
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "Because this place is a geomantically auspicious place."
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow, "That's amazing?"
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
"Isn't it easy for people to get lost inside? How did you find your way?"
"Hey, you'll naturally get the hang of it after walking around a lot."
Yu Yao's eyebrows twitched. What the heck!
"...That's impressive."
Chi Heng said, "Let's go, stay close to us, nothing will happen."
"Ah."
After Yu Yao finished speaking, the group stepped into the terrifyingly dense forest with its towering trees and began their ascent up the mountain.
They could certainly fly in, but they still hoped that Yu Yao, who was visiting for the first time, could personally experience everything about Thousand Soul Mountain.
That's why I chose to walk.
......
The dense forest boasts a complete ecosystem, teeming with insects, snakes, and small animals.
But miraculously, not a single insect or beast attacked them.
Surprisingly, it possesses a spiritual quality.
Some of the bolder ones even dared to jump out and bite their trouser legs.
Or they could use their shoulders as springboards to move back and forth.
Yu Yao couldn't help but wonder, "Are all the animals here so friendly?"
Luo Mei laughed and said, "If all the animals here are friendly, how could this place become a no-man's-land?"
"And what about them...?"
"Maybe it's because we've lived here for so long that they recognize us."
"???" Yu Yao clearly didn't believe it, and pointed to herself, "What about me?"
Qi Xian said, "Because you can control beasts! They are naturally drawn to you."
Yu Yao had already told her teammates about her ability to control beasts.
Otherwise, Chi Heng and Qi Xian wouldn't have been so calm at the Fog Mountain base.
"......Oh well."
......
And so, the group walked and talked for more than an hour.
Strangely enough, no one felt tired; on the contrary, they became more and more energetic as they walked.
Something is definitely wrong in these mountains!
After another ten minutes or so, they finally crossed a valley and went around a mountain peak.
In the distance, I saw a towering mountain peak that seemed to pierce the clouds.
That place is also the very center of the Stone Lotus!
"That's Lingxi Peak! Our home is on the mountaintop!"
"On the mountaintop...?"
Yu Yao looked up at the mountaintop hidden in the sea of clouds and murmured a question.
Luo Mei smiled and said, "Yes, on the mountaintop. Because Lingxi Peak is very high, our base can see a beautiful sea of clouds for half the year."
"But when the weather is great, with clear skies, you can see beautiful scenery all around, it's really beautiful."
Her voice was filled with pride and joy, showing how much she loved the base located at the top of Lingxi Peak.
......
Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the foot of Lingxi Peak.
Standing at the foot of Lingxi Peak and looking up, the peak seems ridiculously tall.
The feeling of oppression is extremely strong.
But......
How do you usually get up there?
Looking at the barren mountainside, devoid of even a single tree, Yu Yao asked curiously.
Strange, her map isn't working well here either!
Jiang Yi beckoned to her: "Come with me."
As he spoke, he led Yu Yao directly to a mountain wall that looked no different from any other.
Gently press your finger on a spot on the mountain.
With the sound of machinery sliding, a dark opening quickly appeared in front of Yu Yao.
Immediately afterwards, the lights inside the cave turned on one by one, illuminating the metal door at the end of the cave.
Yu Yao was stunned for a while, then said quietly, "Elevator?"
Jiang Yi snapped his fingers. "Yes, the elevator."
Yu Yao blinked and remained silent for a moment.
"......sharp."
Installing an elevator inside a mountain would be an enormous undertaking, requiring incredibly precise calculations!
Jiang Yi chuckled and pulled Yu Yao into the cave first.
Luo Mei and the others followed closely behind.
After Chi Heng, who was at the back, walked in, the cave entrance quietly closed again.
The thick doors kept all outside light out.
