In Emerald Valley, Xiao Chen is holding a copy of <Congratulation Province Travelogue> and watching it.

This book is a travel note left by a certain senior Li Fire Sect Foundation Establishment one hundred and sixty years ago.

It describes his travels in He Province, and contains a lot of information about local customs and customs.

Reading through the entire article, the most frequently occurring word is--Eastern Domain.

It may be a bit strange to say this, but Xiao Chen does have the feeling that Eastern Domain is exchanging a large amount of secondary processed materials for the raw materials of He Province.

For example, this senior often purchased Talisman Powder during his travels, which was processed from pearls Eastern Domain.

Li Province Here, if the monk wants to use something like cinnabar.

I always buy a pack of cinnabar myself and grind it into powder myself.

But He Province is different. There are all kinds of Talisman Powder that have been ground. You just need to choose and buy according to your needs.

"Huh? There are actually refined spiritual materials?"

After reading to the end, the travelogue actually mentioned that some shops in He Province sell Water Refined Cinnabar directly.

The so-called Water Refined Cinnabar refers to placing the mined cinnabar in a special small jar, and then pouring the spiritual water collected in advance into it.

Subsequently, over a period of three years, the conditions in the tank were regularly adjusted with different Law Techniques.

Eventually, the cinnabar gradually dissolves away the excess Impurities, and what remains is the higher quality Water Refined Cinnabar.

Its efficacy is naturally far better than ordinary cinnabar.

The produced Talisman or Law Artifact can also be much more powerful.

However, because the preparation is rather cumbersome, Li Province has a dedicated person in charge except Three Great Sects.

Only a very few Lineage who make a living from Talisman Making will make Water Refined Cinnabar.

Basically no one can afford it for ordinary casual practitioners, and Talisman Master, which is affordable for individuals, has no place to buy it.

Because this kind of thing is originally customized according to plan and is not sold to the outside world at all.

Xiao Chen knows this because when he was at Chore Peak, Weapon Forging Hall's senior brother Inner Sect came to select Chore Disciple to help him with the work.

Once you are selected to guard the cinnabar jar, you will receive an additional piece of Spirit Stone every month.

Although he signed up, he was not selected.

I felt quite regretful at the time, so my memory is relatively deep.

Now I see that He Province is sold directly to casual practitioners, so I am naturally a little surprised.

Judging from these details, He Province and Li Province seem to be neighbors, but in fact the difference between them is quite big.

"Fortunately, I am already Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Even if I am He Province, there are not many Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator."

Xiao Chen closed the travel journal and stretched.

Today is already the ninth day, and it's time to board Spirit Boat at noon tomorrow and set off for He Province.

A few days ago, he had already said hello to Mei Yong.

Yesterday, I also handed over the dossier of the Demon Subduing Hall to a junior fellow student of Foundation Establishment Stage 2.

Other than that, he didn't have much to remember.

Although this visit to He Province lasted at least one and a half years, and at most three to five years.

But Xiao Chen has always been unconcerned. He thought about it carefully, "By the way, let's go and take a look at my pots of Heavenly Net Star."

Heavenly Net Star had already grown buds, but they still failed to bloom in time before he left for He Province.

Su Wanqing stood in front of the flowers, feeling a little pity for this. "Maybe if we leave a month or two later, we can wait until the flowers bloom."

"That's hard to say."

Xiao Chen shook his head, then looked up at the time. "It's not early today, so if you're busy, go back to South Lake first."

"When you have time, just come over and help with watering."

According to the agreement of once every three days, today is the day to take care of the spiritual flowers.

However, Su Family will definitely have many monks going to He Province tomorrow. At this time, she should go back to the Su Family to say goodbye.

"Okay, uncle, I'll leave first."

Su Wanqing said goodbye and turned around, walked to the gate but turned back.

He took out a Peace Knot from his arms and handed it over. "Uncle Xiao, I heard that He Province is quite dangerous. Please take this Peace Knot with you."

Xiao Chen can tell at a glance that this should be the Peace Knot she knitted by herself. After all, if the Peace Knot in the market is so ugly, it will probably not be sold.

"This Peace Knot. It has quite a personality."

Xiao Chen reached out and took it. "I just said that in the past two days, I always feel like I forgot to bring something. It turns out that there is something missing Peace Knot."

"I will take it with me well, thank you."

Su Wanqing didn't seem to understand what having a personality meant, and said to himself, "Uncle Xiao, I will pray for my great-grandfather every day."

"If I have time, I will also pray for you and wish you peace and success."

"Well, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."

Xiao Chen sent her out. "I'll lend you some good words!"

Early the next morning, there were far more Foundation Establishment Cultivators than Ascension Ceremonys gathered in the sect martial arts square.

Although Li Fire Sect and some Foundation Establishment Cultivator will still stay in the sect.

But this time, a large number of casual cultivators, whether they were close to the Li Fire Sect or had friends who knew Li Fire Sect, came to the square and chose to go with them.

Even Nine Feet Staff Zhu Hui, one of the famous Ten Heroes of Li Province, did not set off in advance, but waited together.

After all, after going to He Province, everyone is from the same hometown.

In this case, why not come in advance and get familiar with each other so that we can help each other then.

Everyone who was about to leave had fiery eyes, but those seeing him off were full of worry.

Mei Yong When it was time, he left early on the pretext of having something to do.

Returning to the empty Sect Hall, he immediately looked at the He Province map on the table and sighed, "Oh, I don't know how many junior brothers can return safely."

Unlike others, as Sect Master he needs to deal with everyone in the sect.

After a long time, all the faces are familiar, and it would be uncomfortable to miss any of them.

"You don't have to think about these issues anymore. There are a lot of people on the left and right. Let's just promote more disciples to handle the affairs and help you share the burden."

"If everything goes well, Junior Brother Mingyan should be able to handle the problem."

"The most important thing for you now is to calm down and strive to form the elixir as soon as possible. If there are any changes again, you can really have more power to protect the sect."

No one was seen in the temple, but voices of advice sounded out of thin air.

Mei Yong saluted respectfully in the direction of the mountain behind. "Yes, disciple, please remember True Person's teachings."

Although he said that, when he heard Bright Flame True Person's name, he felt even more worried.

At present, Li Fire Sect, apart from the two True Person, is the only one who knows that Flying Rainbow True Person traveled abroad in the early years and has not come back yet.

Now that Divine Fire Sect has blocked Quanzhou, the hope of return has been basically cut off.

Once Bright Flame True Person makes a mistake in He Province, Li Fire Sect's position will be in jeopardy.

Not to mention those two families, Thousand Bamboo Market and Thousand Bamboo True Person now have an additional Bright Moon True Person as their junior brother.

Don't they have any ideas?

Even though Mountain Protecting Grand Array will be there at that time, Li Fire Sect is not in danger of destruction.

However, it is hard to say who owns some of the spiritual mines located far away from the sect, such as Spirit Field, Spirit Vein, etc.

.

At noon, the sun is just right.

The huge Spirit Boat rose into the sky and rushed into the clouds.

Xiao Chen leaned against the bow of the ship alone, visually assessing the number of people setting off this time.

There were too many Foundation Establishment Cultivator present, so it was inconvenient to use Divine Sense to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

According to his estimates, there are at least more than four hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivator on Spirit Boat.

Even if we subtract the nearly two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators to which Li Fire Sect belongs, there are still more than two hundred Foundation Establishments.

Judging from the total number of the Thousand Bamboo Pavilion last time, this means that almost all Foundation Establishment casual cultivators in the Li Fire Sect are here.

Originally, he thought that some monks would not dare to go because they were worried about the risks.

Now it seems that most casual cultivators who can achieve Foundation Establishment do not lack the courage to take risks. What they lack is just enough profit motivation.

"Junior Brother Xiao, don't stand here."

Manager Chen found Xiao Chen and warmly invited him to the cabin. "Come here for a drink Spirit Wine, I will take you to meet some friends."

It takes almost thirteen days to arrive at the Spirit Origin Sect.

The first nine days are spent crossing Gobi Desert. After arriving in He Province, it takes almost four days to reach Spirit Origin Sect.

Because Spirit Boat also has a rest room prepared in advance and a whole floor of cabin for relaxation.

This flying speed is actually a bit slow. Foundation Establishment Cultivator can fly twice as fast with its sword alone.

It is precisely for this reason that some confident casual practitioners, such as Black White Child, choose to go alone.

But more monks value the rest and socializing they can rest assured on Spirit Boat.

For example, Nine Feet Staff Zhu Hui, and Liu Feng.

"Junior Brother Xiao, let me introduce you. This is one of the famous Ten Heroes of Li Province of our Li Province. Fellow Daoist Liu is also known as Lone Sword Liu Feng."

Manager Chen added enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist Liu was in seclusion to meditate on Swordsmanship during the first lunar month. I didn't have time to go to the Thousand Bamboo Pavilion. I just happened to come and get to know him today."

Then he turned around and introduced, "This is Junior Brother Xiao..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Feng took the initiative to clasp his fists. "I know, Thousand Bamboo Pavilion photographed Wind Thunder Pair Swords, Jingchuan County killed Han Minghui, Manager Xiao, I have long admired his name."

The other party, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, was actually so polite, which surprised Xiao Chen.

He also gave a fist-cup salute in return. "I'm so grateful for the compliment, but I don't deserve it. I've heard of your name for a long time, and seeing you today is really extraordinary."

There are dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivator around, and they are all monks who are usually close to the Chen Family.

Everyone complimented each other and moved nearby tables and chairs to sit in a circle.

Afterwards, Liu Feng rambled for a while and asked proactively, "I am going to He Province this time. I wonder if Daoist Xiao is bringing Wind Thunder Pair Swords?"

"I really regret not being able to go to the Thousand Bamboo Pavilion that day."

"I don't know if I am lucky enough to have my eyes opened today."

When he said this, everyone else also looked over.

Only then did Xiao Chen notice that perhaps because Liu Feng was a swordsman, there were many people nearby who were Sword Cultivator.

Around their waists, they all carry different Flying Sword.

Especially the one Liu Feng, the sword is so bright that it almost overflows from the scabbard. It should be a Top-Grade Magical Artifact.

Seeing Xiao Chen's eyes falling on his Flying Sword, he immediately solved it. "Daoist Xiao, if you are interested, just take it and take a look."

The other party said so, so Xiao Chen took out the pair of swords and put them in front of him. "My pair of swords just have a name. I think they shouldn't be as good as Fellow Daoist Liu's sword."

The others didn't take advantage of it, but just looked at it carefully.

However, compared to the others, Flying Sword is either sparkling, radiant and dazzling; or Sword-Ray looms like a dragon, with extraordinary momentum.

Wind Thunder Pair Swords looks ordinary, more like a pair of Flying Sword models made of wood.

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they saw this, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although they were embarrassed to speak, it was clear from their expressions that they were all very surprised, and their eyes revealed unconcealable doubts.

The general meaning is, is this the Wind Thunder Pair Swords that is rumored to have fetched a sky-high price?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like that.

Xiao Chen could guess a bit of their thoughts from the subtle changes in expressions around them.

He gently raised his hand and injected a little Law Power.

Immediately there was the sound of wind and thunder, and there was a faint green-purple brilliance flowing on the sword body.

Then Law Power was removed, and the strange image disappeared immediately. It was clearly that Huaguang was restrained.

When Liu Feng saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed, "It is indeed a good sword! It has a restrained edge, hidden Profound Mystery, it is truly a treasure in the sword!"

Others also let out bursts of exclamation.

"Wind Thunder Pair Swords, it really deserves its reputation!"

"When you see it today, you will know what a real sword is!"

"It's really worth the trip to see such a treasure with your own eyes."

"The sword has a spirit and is hidden but not visible. It is just like the Spirit Artifact of True Person."

Huh?

Upon hearing the words Spirit Artifact, everyone's eyes suddenly "swish" and focused on the old man who spoke.

Liu Feng asked curiously, "Old Feng, this is not a joke, are you serious?"

Old Feng replied seriously, "This is natural. I have lived for more than a hundred years. When have I told lies?"

"More than a hundred years ago, when I was just Foundation Establishment, I went to Eastern Domain and dumped a batch of Spirit Pearl. There must be a lot of people who know about this."

Someone immediately nodded. "I remember, this is indeed the case."

Old Feng continued, "I was at Eastern Domain at that time. It's no exaggeration. I could see Golden Core True Person basically every day, and I often met different Golden Core True Person."

"Many Golden Core True Person spirit swords around their waists look like this. They look ordinary but are actually hidden."

When he said this, everyone's attention focused on Wind Thunder Pair Swords again.

Above Top-Grade Magical Artifact is Spirit Artifact.

The reason why the word "spiritual" is used is because compared to Law Artifact, Spirit Artifact itself has a certain degree of mystery, as if it has spirituality.

Some defensive Spirit Artifact can protect the master on their own without the need for monks to activate them.

The most common Spirit Artifact is worth more than one hundred thousand Spirit Stone.

Old Feng finally concluded. "I estimate that even if this set of Wind Thunder Pair Swords is not yet as good as Spirit Artifact, it is still almost the same."

Hearing what he said, everyone's eyes became even more intense.

They are both Sword Cultivator, no one wants to own such a pair of top-notch Magic Sword.

"It's a pity. These swords come from the same source and have both yin and yang. They are indeed excellent materials."

But one monk had some regrets. "If it can be handed over to a third-level Artifact Refining Master, there may be a chance to become Spirit Artifact."

"Ha, you think so nicely."

Someone immediately laughed and said, "If these swords are really Spirit Artifact, they would have been taken away by the True Persons before it was our turn to watch them here."

"In the final analysis, Daoist Xiao is still a generous person. I give you a toast to fellow Daoist."

He took the lead, and everyone around him also raised their glasses to thank Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen doesn't care about this, after all, everyone knows that he owns Wind Thunder Pair Swords.

There's no point in hiding it. It's better to openly share information.

Besides, with his current strength, it's best if no one has any thoughts that they shouldn't have, otherwise he will definitely not be the unlucky one.

Liu Feng pondered alone for a while, and then said something shocking.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about this pair of swords. They turned into Spirit Artifact."

.

Liu Feng As soon as he said these words, everyone around him was stunned.

No, can this forged Top-Grade Magical Artifact be remade?

Besides, although I don't know how many Third-Order Artifact Forger there are in Southern Domain, it is extremely difficult to invite such people to take action.

Manager Chen immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu, how do you say this?"

If there was a way to turn Wind Thunder Pair Swords into Spirit Artifact, it would be a great thing.

But Liu Feng said, "This is actually not a secret. As everyone knows, in order for Sword Cultivator to become Golden Core, we need to refine Natal Flying Sword."

"This Wind Thunder Pair Swords is now Top-Grade Magical Artifact. It's true, but it already has spirituality."

"If you are promoted to Golden Core, you can also refine this set of swords."

"Even if there is no Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism on the spot, the promotion to Spirit Artifact will certainly not be inferior to the ordinary Sword Embryo. Then with a little training, you can become Spirit Artifact."

After he said this, many people cast envious glances.

Manager Chen heard this but shook his head. "That's such a pity. Junior Brother Xiao is not Sword Cultivator, but this road has never worked from the beginning."

When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then I immediately realized that Xiao Chen didn't have the habit of wearing a sword in the first place, so it was really different.

"Oh, look at the old man's mouth. He said something out of nowhere Spirit Artifact."

Old Feng raised his glass. "We are going to He Province soon, why not talk about this war in advance."

The rest of the people immediately changed the topic from Shan Ruliu.

Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation and put away Wind Thunder Pair Swords, but another thought came to his mind.

It is indeed a bit late for him to switch to swordsmanship now. If he really starts from scratch, it will definitely delay Hextech's progress, which is not worth it.

But his situation is different from others, he still has a Inner Core in his body.

And this is not an ordinary Inner Core, but Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment that was condensed at the time, and will be able to condense Forming Pseudo-Core in the future.

Pseudo-Core is between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. Although it is not as good as the real Golden Core, it is far better than Foundation Establishment.

At that time, you can try to see if you can refine Wind Thunder Pair Swords into Pseudo-Core, so that Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism becomes Spirit Artifact.

Xiao Chen Keep an eye on it secretly and collect information about this later.

At this time, the monks nearby were already chatting about the rumors about He Province.

"I heard that Spirit Origin Sect has Daoist Ning, who is born with water Wood Spiritual Root, and has practiced <All Rivers Merge into the Sea Art>. Guess what happened?"

"Daoist Qi, stop being so secretive and say it quickly."

"Let me tell you, he actually has one hundred and eight Law Power in his Dantian."

When this Daoist Qi said this, he stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured left and right, which immediately aroused an exclamation.

"One hundred and eight Law Power, it's amazing."

"There are actually such Cultivation Methods. Then when it comes time to fight, we can use two more Law Artifacts to fight against the enemy."

Two pieces Law Artifact?

Xiao Chen heard this, thought for a moment, and immediately realized that he should be talking about High-Grade Magic Tool.

"That's not all."

Daoist Qi continued, "I heard from a good friend of the Spirit Origin Sect that the <All Rivers Merge into the Sea Art> Daoist Ning only practiced to the Proficiency Realm."

"If one day we can reach great success, that would be even more amazing."

"By then he will have a total of one hundred and twenty-eight Law Power."

Xiao Chen silently did a mental calculation, and now he only has one hundred and fifty-six Law Power.

This Daoist Ning will then be able to own 80% of his own Law Power, so his strength is indeed quite high.

Speaking of this, another person said, "I heard that Azure Sky Sect, a genius who is said to be once in a century, came out ten years ago."

"Not only is it Heavenly Spirit Root, but it is also said to be very rare Gold Spiritual Root."

"The speed of cultivation can be said to be a thousand miles. In less than three years, it has reached Foundation Establishment. It is said that it has already broken through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage. It is uncertain when the elixir will be formed."

After the words fell, everyone was amazed again.

Someone spoke up and echoed, "I have also heard that the genius of the Azure Sky Sect is said to be called Shao Mingyou. If you take a picture of the same person, there is no difference."

After hearing this, some people immediately expressed dissatisfaction. "No one can compare to me? Ha, what a loud tone!"

However, someone immediately thought, "The surname is Shao? I heard that Azure Sky Sect has three major clans, one of which is Shao Family. Could this Shao Mingyou be from the Shao Family?"

"Yes, it's Shao Family."

Nine Feet Staff Zhu Hui suddenly said, "I have a friend in He Province, who usually makes a living under the rule of the Azure Sky Sect."

"According to what he said, this Shao Mingyou is not only extremely talented, but also very handsome. Everyone in the entire Azure Sky Sect knows about that."

"In my early years, I loved going outside to slay demons and demons, and personally slaying the evil ways within the Azure Sky Sect."

Now that he has spoken, his credibility is naturally very high.

Liu Feng asked curiously, "In that case, there should be many people in the outside world who have seen him take action, right?"

"But I don't know how strong this Shao Mingyou is in fighting skills?"

Zhu Hui shook his head. "If we were to fight, I shouldn't be able to compete with him."

Liu Feng was even more curious when he heard this. "With Brother Zhu's strength, don't you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Realm is one thing, Spell Cultivation that is another thing entirely.

Liu Feng and Zhu Hui can be called Ten Heroes of Li Province, not because there are only ten Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in Li Province, but because of their real strength.

Even though they are both Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, the two sides master different inheritances, practice different Law Technique, and possess different Law Artifact, so their combat capabilities are naturally completely different.

He asked, "Brother Zhu, please don't be too modest."

"Then Shao Mingyou has only been practicing for ten years. Even if he doesn't suffer any loss in terms of realm, Law Technique still doesn't have time to practice, right?"

Zhu Hui shook his head again. "But it's not because of this."

"When it comes to Spell Cultivation alone, I think I am not weaker than others."

"But someone once saw with his own eyes that this Shao Mingyou used five Top-Grade Magical Artifacts at the same time to leapfrog and kill a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer demon cultivator."

After saying this, the other monks nearby were stunned.

Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief.

After he finished laughing, he realized something was wrong. "Strange, could it be that this Shao Mingyou has also practiced spiritual practice and can increase Law Power's Cultivation Method?"

"A genius like him shouldn't practice that kind of technique, right?"
