Weeping Swamp
Swamps can be classified into mountain swamps, plateau swamps, and plain swamps according to their landforms.
The Weeping Marsh.
It is a long, narrow, ribbon-like mountainous swamp that connects the north and south and is tens of thousands of miles wide.
The border between Dangyang Prefecture and the Weeping Marsh.
The four Giant Tortoise Puppet lined up in a straight line, roaring forward as they plunged into the Weeping Marsh.
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu poked their heads out from behind the Giant Tortoise Puppet, where nine Skylark Bird circled and played.
Several years later, the nine ordinary Skylark Bird, initially fed with Yellow Chestnut Pellet, became incredibly intelligent and able to understand human speech. Later, when Lu Qingfeng fed them with "Spirit-Nourishing Pill," they became even more extraordinary.
This Spirit-Nourishing Pill was originally a fragmented Pill Formula that Lu Qingfeng obtained at an auction in Sishui Town, Bingling World.
After being completed, it is only a high-level Pill Formula, and the required medicinal materials are not particularly rare; they can be found in Shangyang Country.
Lu Qingfeng refined the pills in his spare time and fed them to the Skylark Bird alternately with the Yellow Chestnut Pellet. These nine ordinary birds gradually transformed into Demon Beast and spirit beasts, and their feathers became more lustrous.
Lu Qingfeng has enhanced the recipe for the Spirit Feeding Pill. In the future, with all the necessary medicinal materials, he will be able to refine top-grade or even mid-grade Spirit Feeding Pills. He wonders what level the nine Skylarks can reach.
The Skylark Bird.
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu, however, were staring at the Two-Headed Wu above the Giant Tortoise Puppet and the Silver-Armored Horned Python following behind it.
The Two-Headed Wu flew low, stirring up gusts of wind.
The Silver-Armored Horned Python moved silently, its tongue flicking warily.
These two Demon Beasts, along with the Frost Ice Toad in Daoist Miaoyin's arms, are all spirit beasts that she has tamed.
Among them, the Silver-Armored Horned Python is the strongest, approaching the True Qi Realm Peak. The Two-Headed Wu is of average strength, equivalent to the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer, but it is excellent for transportation.
When Daoist Miaoyin with the cold poison, it was thanks to these two spirit beasts that he escaped the pursuit of the War God Society and subsequently established himself in Miaoyin City.
"The city lord is indeed skilled; he has managed to tame such Demon Beast."
Lu Qingfeng looked at the Two-Headed Wu and the Silver-Armored Horned Python and praised them.
"How can a mere second-tier Demon Beast compare to this Giant Tortoise Puppet?" Daoist Miaoyin shook his head.
As they entered the Weeping Marsh from Fujiang Cliff, Daoist Miaoyin saw that the Giant Tortoise Puppet had stabilized. Ordinary beasts scattered in terror at the sight of it. Even Demon Beast beasts could not stop the Giant Tortoise Puppet from rampaging, and were either killed or fled in fright.
Unimpeded.
My amazement grew even stronger.
Lu Qingfeng smiled but didn't continue the topic. He turned to look around and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder it's called the Weeping Marsh."
The Weeping Marsh is shrouded in mist, reducing visibility to less than three meters for ordinary people. Even a True Qi Realm cultivator like Lu Qingfeng, who has achieved some success in his cultivation, can only see a maximum of seven or eight meters away.
In recent years, Lu Qingfeng had controlled puppets to enter and exit the Weeping Marsh, but this was his first time actually entering, and the feeling was different. Faint weeping sounds disturbed his mind, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere. All around him was a thick fog; looking up, sunlight refracted through the fog, but the sky was invisible.
In this environment, it is difficult to determine direction.
In addition, the magnetic field in the Weeping Marsh is strangely variable, making compasses ineffective.
Whether in Shangyang Country or Biyang Lake on the other side of the Weeping Marsh, people enter the Weeping Marsh every year. But the number of people who manage to come out from either side is less than one in ten or twenty years.
The vast majority are lost in the Weeping Marsh, their Life and Death unknown.
"The Weeping Marsh is so dangerous, why did the city lord choose to enter it in the first place?"
Lu Qingfeng and Daoist Miaoyin gathered on Giant Tortoise One, and Lu Qingfeng asked curiously. The two had known each other for more than four years. Lu Qingfeng knew that Daoist Miaoyin came from the other side of the Weeping Marsh, but he didn't know why she would take such a risk.
"Back then——"
A hint of reminiscence appeared on the face of the Daoist Miaoyin. "This is a long story."
The world is divided into Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
Daoist Miaoyin came from the Biyang Lake region on the other side of the Weeping Marsh.
East of the Spirit-Severing Land lies the cultivation realm of the 'Three Mountains and Nine Rivers'. The Weeping Marsh and the Chengyang River are among the 'Nine Waters' of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
Biyang Lake is one of them, but it is a sacred place for cultivation.
Numerous sects stand tall, and demons emerge in endless streams. All kinds of cultivation resources, such as spirit medicine, spiritual ores, and Spirit Stone, are readily available.
Daoist Miaoyin was unfamiliar with the other regions of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers; she only knew that within the 36 million Biyang Lake, islands were scattered like stars. Some were occupied by demons, while others housed sects.
Biyang Lake and the surrounding Biyang Lake, which is unknown in extent, are all theoretically within the Biyang Lake region.
Even Core Formation True Person, wielding sword light and using divine speed, would need three to five years of continuous effort to cross the border. Furthermore, with Demon Beast roaming the Biyang Lake region, even Core Formation True Person wouldn't dare to recklessly use their escape techniques or fly swords to traverse the area.
Even walking across the entire area, it might take thirty to fifty years to leave Biyang Lake.
For Daoist Miaoyin, before arriving in Shangyang Country, her cultivation level was only at the True Qi Realm. She had heard of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, but she had never even left the area within tens of thousands of miles of her Sunset Glow Sect, let alone Biyang Lake.
Most of the information is just hearsay.
"Biyang Lake vast, dotted with numerous sects, each occupying Spirit Mountain."
"The Sunset Glow Sect is one of them."
The Daoist Miaoyin slowly began to speak, and Lu Qingfeng listened quietly.
Daoist Miaoyin hails from the Sunset Glow Sect, located on the western edge of Biyang Lake, adjacent to the Weeping Marsh. Because of its proximity to the Weeping Marsh and the Spirit-Severing Land, the Spiritual Qi here is relatively ordinary, allowing small sects like the Sunset Glow Sect to survive.
The Sunset Glow Sect is considered a small sect, but that's only relative to the Biyang Lake area.
In fact, not only are there Spirit Void Cultivator in charge, but there are also quite a few Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator in the sect.
When Daoist Miaoyin was young and inexperienced, he went out to train with a friend, only to unexpectedly discover a senior's cave abode. The two gained much from the cave abode, but faced with the prospect of profit, the friend betrayed them, severely injuring Daoist Miaoyin. Daoist Miaoyin fought back fiercely, killing his friend in retaliation.
After encountering demons, he was seriously injured and rushed into the Weeping Marsh in a panic. He wandered around for a long time but could not get out. By chance, he ended up in Shangyang Country.
During this time, he practiced the beast-taming Secret Method he obtained in the cave abode and the eggs of the Frost Ice Toad, which hatched into the Frost Ice Toad. He then used the Frost Toad to suppress the cold poison caused by taking the Azureheart Pill to treat his injuries.
Speaking of this, Lu Qingfeng had to admire the perseverance and patience of the Daoist Miaoyin.
The Azureheart Pill and the Cold-Origin Pill have similar effects, both capable of suppressing and restoring extremely severe injuries. However, after the injury is healed, the cold toxin contained in the pill will nourish and grow in the Internal Breath, True Qi, and True Essence, like a maggot clinging to the bone, which is very difficult to remove.
Once the True Qi is overused, the cold poison will spread rapidly and become incurable by medicine.
Even in ordinary times, when the cold poison afflicts the body, the pain feels like being bitten by cold insects all over the body, a suffering far beyond what ordinary people can endure. Many people, even after using Azureheart Pill or Cold-Origin Pill to recover from their injuries, will find it unbearable after a few years if the cold poison is not removed, and quite a few will go insane and attempt suicide.
Daoist Miaoyin endured this for forty or fifty years.
