Blazing Fire Illuminated the Dark Void, a Long Rainbow Crossed the Alien Expanse

In the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.

The dark, crystal-like sky gradually faded, revealing the ordinary night.

The many cultivators outside the valley stared in a daze, lingering over the beautiful scenery.

But when they looked at Chu Tianshu with admiration, they saw the True Fire Divine Eagle stare at Chu Tianshu for a few moments, and then it wilted like a rooster.

It sullenly buried its bald head in its wings.

The cultivators present couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"Judging from your intentions, it seems you've come specifically to find me. Then come with me into the valley."

Chu Tianshu said a few words to the Divine Eagle, then looked at the crowd and greeted them with a light smile.

"Now I have come to understand the Heavenly Dao's Good Affinity, and have stepped into a new realm. The moon is bright and the stars are few, and a divine eagle comes from the south, its bright feathers like fire, as a gift to this mountain. This is truly an auspicious sign."

"Why don't you all take advantage of this auspicious occasion and hold a small gathering to celebrate?"

"I heard from Sanlang that everyone brought many gifts, one to congratulate Heavenly Wolf Sect and another to give to me. So I'll take the liberty of bringing out all the gifts meant for me and inviting everyone to appreciate them."

Upon hearing this, many cultivators were greatly intrigued.

In this world, the path of cultivation has greatly benefited from various extraterrestrial caves and abodes; it has grown wildly.

New sects and Rogue Cultivator are emerging one after another, and the new things they bring out are often things that have never been seen before.

This makes transactions between cultivators extremely troublesome.

If we're talking about bartering, how can we exchange something that doesn't have any generally recognized value?

However, if one were to simply share their own finest products for no reason, allowing everyone to experience them firsthand and reach a consensus on their value, then...

The initial investment would be too large, beyond the reach of ordinary Rogue Cultivator and small sects.

The Demonic Dao is now rampant, daring to destroy Tianyin Temple, making the situation between the righteous and demonic factions increasingly tense.

Everyone who came to pay their respects to Chu Tianshu did so with great difficulty, having accepted lavish gifts and prepared for potential losses.

Chu Tianshu not only gave them a peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to cleanse their bodies, but also brought out these things, giving them a reason to appreciate each other's work.

In this way, everyone will have an understanding of the merits and demerits of each other's things, which will be of great benefit when dealing with each other in the future.

"Since you have given me this order, it would be impolite to refuse!"

"Very good, very good, the banquet is wonderful, I love banquets all my life."

Upon seeing this, Yue Chunfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, smiling, "The treasures that you all gifted to the Heavenly Wolf Sect should also be returned."

o

"To be honest, within our Heavenly Wolf Sect, the value of a treasure is often measured by the number of Qi-replenishing pills we refine ourselves."

"The gifts you have given me, due to the disciples' eagerness, have been roughly compared to the value of a few bottles of Qi-replenishing pills, but this comparison is naturally crude."

"Later, when you all exchange and appraise the Heavenly Wolf Sect, if you feel that its value is too high or too low, please let us know."

Everyone echoed in agreement.

However, many astute individuals grasped the deeper meaning behind Yue Chunfeng's arrangement.

If everyone agrees, the value of different treasures can be measured using the Qi-replenishing pills that meet the standards of the Heavenly Wolf Sect.

In the future, won't these Qi-replenishing pills be able to circulate like money in the secular world?

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianshu couldn't help but smile and glance at Yue Chunfeng again.

In the medical classic of the Qilin True Person, certain statements are repeatedly mentioned, which, according to Chu Tianshu's understanding, means to standardize the refining of medicine.

Only through standardization and the establishment of clear basic units can medicine making become a more accessible and detailed discipline.

In the world today, there is no other sect besides the Heavenly Wolf Sect that can standardize and mass-produce medicine.

Using elixirs to measure the value of treasures seems like Yue Chunfeng finding a temporary opportunity.

In reality, it was a long-planned development and an inevitable evolution.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but recall that when he founded the Dragon Gate Way in the Northern and Southern Dynasties world, he had mentioned to his fellow disciples that the currency in various regions of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was in disarray, and that the value of general metals would become increasingly insignificant among cultivators in the future.

For Denglai Mountain Market to continue operating successfully, it would be best to issue its own currency.

I wonder what kind of currency Dragon Gate Way will use if it really grows up smoothly.

Outsiders could not discern Chu Tianshu's true thoughts.

He entered the valley, and when he was still two or three miles from the bamboo forest, he casually waved his hand.

The Great Brahma Prajna manual, which had fallen into the bamboo forest, immediately flew into the bamboo house.

The door closed automatically, isolating the inside from the outside.

There were also the secret manuals of the Heavenly Wolf Sect in that house, so he couldn't just bring anyone in. He simply stopped by the pond and looked at the divine eagle floating beside him.

At this moment, the disabled monks were leaving to rest.

Only Yue Tianchi, Fang Wuchen, and Yuchan remained in the valley, while Yue Gude and Shangguan Yunyan were also walking in from outside.

Alopecia areata is indeed unsightly.

Chu Tianshu smiled and reached out, touching the eagle's wing. New feathers sprouted from the spots where the eagle's feathers had fallen off.

The eagle shrugged its neck, but its head still didn't peek out from under its wings.

Elder Shangguan.

Chu Tianshu said casually, "You seem to have something to say to me?"

Shangguan Yunyan felt a chill run down his spine. He had something to say, but he hadn't received permission yet, so he didn't dare to speak frankly.

In the silence, the divine eagle turned its head and nodded with difficulty to Shangguan Yunyan.

Shangguan Yunyan was overjoyed.

"Good."

He stepped forward and bowed to Chu Tianshu.

"We at Incense Valley have some great news to share with you all."

This story begins with the most precious treasure at the entrance of Incense Valley.

The Mysterious Fire Mirror, one of the Four Wonders, is said to possess the power to command all fires in the world.

Its appearance is a bright green ring, with a thin red crystal sheet embedded in the ring, and a flame totem on the sheet.

The most widely known saying in the martial arts world is that this treasure can generate yang energy, purify poisonous miasma, and assist in the operation of numerous formations.

This allowed Incense Valley to guard the vital passage to the Southern Border border, fearless against any poisonous insects, wild beasts, or strange poisons from the deep mountains.

But in fact, since this treasure is named Jian (鉴), it has the ability to reflect external objects like a mirror.

The truly superior use is to use the extraordinary light emitted by this treasure to illuminate the void and brighten those small spaces that have not yet merged with the real world.

For example, there are cave ruins that drifted from outside the boundary, and some naturally formed strange and mysterious places, etc.

In some alternate dimensions, there may be strange creatures thriving and multiplying.

According to the Secret Records of Incense Valley, during the most prosperous era of the Witch Cult, they figured out a method to use the strange light emitted by the Mysterious Fire Mirror to weave contract signals, which were then used to sign contracts with powerful spirits in other dimensions.

When necessary, a master wielding the Mysterious Fire Mirror can Mysterious Fire Mirror it as a portal to bring powerful spirits into reality to assist in battle.

However, the expertise of Witch Dao lies in the study of the spiritual.

They can bring these spirits into reality because the spirits they face also have a strong desire to enter reality.

Therefore, once these kinds of spirits fully enter reality, they are very likely to break the agreement and wreak havoc everywhere.

Even those within the Witch Cult were extremely cautious when using such methods in the past.

Incense Valley combines Witch Dao and Immortal Dao, and its inheritance of such contractual methods is incomplete, leading to a more cautious attitude towards them.

Hundreds of years ago, a True Person Bai Yin emerged from Incense Valley. He was a man of extraordinary talent who disliked Witch Dao and instead focused on cultivating Immortal Dao fire magic, creating the Flying Rainbow Heart Method and the Long Rainbow Sword Art.

Although he himself had not mastered all thirteen levels of the Long Rainbow Sword Art, he had thoroughly examined the theory.

To commemorate him, every fifty years, the Incense Valley holds a competition among its young disciples to select the most skilled swordsman. The chosen swordsman is given the surname Bai and a given name containing a character related to the character "Yin".

If anyone in the future truly masters the thirteenth level of the sword technique, they will be able to regain their original name and surpass even the Patriarch Bai Yin.

With this lineage, the Incense Valley has opened up a new path in its understanding of fire-based Daoist techniques and Qi-refining methods, and has also deciphered new mysteries regarding the Mysterious Fire Mirror.

By utilizing the combined regulation of fire elemental energy, once ignited, it can cause the emitted fire essence light to undergo expansion and contraction, and change in rigidity.

Viscosity, toughness, and other properties can all be adjusted.

In this way, once the fire essence's wondrous light shines into a small space, it can pull the opposite small space, causing it to shrink powerfully and pull it into reality ahead of time.

Those alternate dimensions inhabited by monsters are already quite far removed from reality, so they didn't bother with them.

They specifically target small, lifeless spaces that are still artificially constructed.

These small spaces are often caves that drifted from beyond the boundary, and they usually contain treasures left behind by beings from beyond the boundary, which are quite beneficial.

However, many small spaces will also shift their orientation on their own.

Incense Valley is not good at arithmetic, and it does not have any special treasures like those in the Wilderness Sacred Temple that are specifically used for divination.

They could only rely on summarizing experience, collecting and listing manuscripts from predecessors, and discover that many routes in small spaces had scenic spots.

Therefore, on the fifteenth of each month, when the atmosphere of heaven and earth is at its most tranquil and clear, the strongest experts of Incense Valley would quietly carry the Mysterious Fire Mirror and wander around.

Whenever a discovery is made, a burst of fiery light is emitted to grab the target, summon fellow disciples, and together they explore and retrieve the treasure.

"Three years ago, when news of the Qingyun Sect's annihilation spread, the Valley Master was greatly astonished and took me there to investigate."

At that time, the Seven Mountains of Qingyun Sect were already in ruins, devoid even of life the size of an earthworm, and were still ravaged by Demonic Dao cultivators.

The Sha Qi beneath.

"But after the Valley Master examined them, he was greatly impressed, believing that the Seven Mountains of Qingyun Sect were extremely beautiful, but their beauty was a rare inner beauty that ordinary people could not see."

As Shangguan Yunyan finished speaking, she drew her sword and began to carve out seven mountain peaks on the grass.

"At the time, the Valley Master guessed that the Demonic Sect's prophecy was most likely true, and that the contingency plan left by the Patriarch Qingyun for the sect's great prosperity was related to the small space."

"In other words, decades later, a small cave dwelling space should have appeared in Mount Qingyun."

"The Valley Master then led me, following the earth's veins backward, trying to locate the current position of that cave dwelling."

Fang Wuchen looked surprised.

"But----"

Fang Wuchen asked doubtfully, "Even the Demonic Sect can't calculate the current location of that cave. Didn't your Incense Valley say that you're not good at calculations?"

The three Yue brothers seemed to understand something, and smiled.

Yue Chunfeng said, "Although Incense Valley is not good at gathering qi and making calculations, since the time of True Person Bai Yin, in terms of the purity of the fire-based Daoist methods and the exploration and perception of the earth's fire patterns and geological strata, I'm afraid no one in the world can surpass Incense Valley."

Moreover, this person's lack of skill in divination is simply incomparable to divination masters like the Master of the Hall of Longevity, the Patriarch Qingyun, and the Master of Wind and Moon Cave.

Geological exploration and research, in addition to requiring specialized and profound knowledge and the ability to sense the Daoist principles of fire, also actually requires the use of some mathematical skills.

Shangguan Yunyan nodded with considerable pride, and with her long sword, she began to carve on the ground again.

"Many people's understanding of the earth's veins can only be inferred from the surface mountains and major rivers; once they encounter vast plains and deserts, their knowledge becomes inadequate."

"In reality, the geological formations are layered and complex, and cannot be judged solely by appearances. There are many different standards and classifications for determining which areas are truly blessed and which can be connected as a single lineage."

Even if we know the endpoint of the Seven Mountains of Qingyun Sect, and roughly know the time scale of fifty years.

"Even with the Valley Master leading us, it still took a year and a half of trial and error before we finally found that cave dwelling space."

Shangguan Yunyan has already drawn many hills, deserts, and inland seas of various sizes on the ground.

A route stretches out, winding and twisting; just looking at this picture, one can feel the hardship involved.

"Unfortunately, that cave was clearly lifeless, yet it was no ordinary place. Even with all our combined efforts, we couldn't pull it into this world. We could only drag it back to Incense Valley for now."

"It's like being on land, but in the water. Once you reach the valley, you can rest and recuperate, and then slowly be pulled ashore."

"But even now, it's still just that little bit short!"

Shangguan Yunyan sighed, revealing a deep sense of resentment.

In fact, deep down he had a thought that he had never revealed even to the Valley Master.

He no longer cares much about what treasures are inside that cave.

He would be content as long as he lived to see someone successfully fish that thing ashore.

Otherwise, even when he dies of old age, he will grit his teeth and glare.

He couldn't forget this incident; he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
