Chapter 1196: Rush to Qingzhou (Part 2)
Yinhuojian is located in the mountains 300 miles west of Qingzhou Xinfucheng. A group of ferocious beasts named evil eagles were once inhabited here. When the site of the Xinfucheng in Qingzhou was 300 miles away, the prefect of Qingzhou sent people to clear out all the ferocious beasts here, completely exterminating this ferocious beast. .
Although the actions of exterminated beasts made the gods of Litian Palace very dissatisfied. Even the prefect of Qingzhou at that time, together with several stewards of Litian Palace in Qingzhou, were all taken down and punished and sent to the Heavenly Prison of Litian Palace to be detained until death, this was definitely a great thing for some people in Qingzhou.
There is a blood spring in the Yinhuo Stream. This blood spring is composed of a very special blood that can continuously produce a kind of Yinhuo. For those Qingzhou wild men who practice this kind of Yinhuo, this place is a blessing for the cave heaven and earth prepared for them. For this reason, these Yinhuo wild men spontaneously gathered together and formed a relatively loose force to occupy this place.
In recent decades, something that caused the Yinhuo Wild Warriors to have a headache happened. They originally thought that it would be endless, and the eternal blood fog began to dry up. Every year, the blood fog would dry up, and the dry waterway would produce a strange and highly toxic mist. This poisonous mist is not powerful, but it is very difficult. Once it is invaded into the blood, this poison will produce a force similar to a curse. This power can make all direct blood veins related to this blood have a strong sense of weakness, and directly destroy the possibility of the blood veins to continue to develop from the foundation.
This incident not only affected the power of this deserted scholar, but even the Litian Palace was alarmed. He sent people to investigate the cause and find solutions more than once. However, with the invasion of the evil gods outside the domain, the Litian Palace's energy was focused on other matters. Later, even the power of the lower realm Jiuzhou was lowered, and the investigation of the poisonous fog of the Yinhuo Ridge naturally ended in vain.
Although there is a threat of poisonous fog, and as the blood spring drys up longer and longer every year, the coverage of poisonous fog is getting bigger and stronger, the forces of the deserted warriors who control this place still do not intend to give up here. After all, there are very few places like this suitable for their cultivation.
This year's blood fountain depletion period should have only appeared one month later, but for some reason the time was advanced. Just two days ago, the wild scholar who had been practicing fully discovered that the blood fountain had signs of drying out. After that, the upper level of the power investigated and judged that the blood fountain would be completely drying out in about three to seven days. For this reason, this force had to send people deep into the depths of the blood fountain to collect a large amount of Yin fire in order to prepare for the practice required for the blood fountain depletion period.
Luo Qiang is a child of a small family in the marginal city of Qingzhou. His talent is not very outstanding, but he is very suitable for practicing a method called the Evil Fire Sutra. However, this method is not a method of great Tao, so it is not valued.
The Evil Fire Sutra is made up of several pieces of residual arts found by a senior wild scholar in the wasteland. What makes people feel incredible is that the method formed by these pieces of residual arts can be completely cultivated, and there is no requirement for cultivation qualifications. Anyone can practice it. However, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to become a wild scholar by practicing the Evil Fire Sutra.
Because of his special physique, Luo Qiang's effect of practicing the Evil Fire Sutra is not much worse than that of other people who practice the Great Dao Method. Even more than that, he has become a wild scholar. However, the Evil Fire Sutra is a method made up of pieces from east to west. Helping Luo Qiang become a wild scholar has reached the limit of this sutra. If he wants to break through, it is not something that the Dharma itself can do. It is precisely because of this that he tried every means to join the current power of the Wild Sect, trying to continue this special Yin Fire here to break through the limit of his own method.
However, things are unpredictable, and the development of things will often exceed expectations. Luo Qiang was unable to obtain any help from the Yin Fire here, but the poisonous fog that everyone was extremely afraid of gave him hope to break through the limits of the Dharma. The power generated by this poisonous fog will not only not form a curse in his blood, but will instead subtly improve his bloodlines, allowing him to double the effect of practicing the evil fire sutra to reach the level of the Great Dao Dharma.
This unexpected surprise made Luo Qiang see the hope of achieving higher achievements, but also made him feel dangerous. He knew very well that once he could use the secret of the Yinhuo Ridge Poisonous Fog to practice, then what awaited him would be endless pursuit and imprisonment. Not to mention the power of the deserted men who controlled Yinhuo Ridge, even the Litian Palace would probably be interested in his special situation. Regardless of whether he cooperated with others to study his own situation, his final outcome was already destined.
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Luo Qiang was particularly cautious when using the poisonous fog to practice. In addition, he deliberately showed great introvertedness and did not make friends with other companions. People from the same force only knew that there was such a person, but they were not clear about his specific situation. In this way, he used the poisonous fog to practice safely for several years, and his overall strength increased rapidly. According to his estimate, his current strength will definitely not be much worse than that of the Wild Soldiers in the Prefect's Mansion. His strength is definitely the top in the power of Yinhuojian.
Originally, according to Luo Qiang's practice in the past few years, when the blood spring began to dry up, he should find a less important task to stay away from here temporarily, and force powerful figures in the forces forced or tempted him to replace some people to guard the entrance of Yinhuojian. When he was guarding the entrance alone, he could take this opportunity to safely extract the poisonous fog and improve his cultivation. It was just that because there were not only one guard, but more than a dozen people took turns to guard, so when practicing, they were often interrupted by the change of guards, and the effect was never the best.
But the situation this time was a little different. Luo Qiang felt that his power had reached a bottleneck. In a short period of time, the cultivation state that was often interrupted by changing positions could not allow him to break through this bottleneck. He needed to retreat for a long time and accumulate magic power to the maximum extent before he could break through this limit at once, so he had to take a risk this time.
Luo Qiang no longer waited for the power in power to force him to replace a colleague of the forces who did not want to be a guard and guard the entrance of Yinhuo Stream. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that the blood spring dried up early. The upper class of the forces ordered all to enter Yinhuo Stream to collect Yinhuo Stream. One person went deep into the depths of Yinhuo Stream and found a suitable place to stay here for seclusion during the entire poisonous fog period.
As the task of collecting Yin Fire was assigned to his hands, Luo Qiang and other colleagues who collected Yin Fire entered the Yin Fire Stream together. Because he was worried about the poisonous fog that might appear at any time after the blood spring dried up, most people did not dare to go into the Yin Fire Stream too deep to avoid the bad situation where the poisonous fog appeared.
At this time, the difference between power, background and strength began to be highlighted. People with background, power, and strength will be arranged to collect Yin Fire near the entrance of Yinhuojian, and then arrange them layer by layer. People like Luo Qiang who have neither shown strong strength nor any background or friends will naturally be arranged in the deepest part of Yinhuojian, which is what Luo Qiang wants the most.
When exploring Yinhuo Stream in the past, Luo Qiang discovered a place that was very suitable for him to retreat. This place was at the end of Yinhuo Stream and near the source of the blood fountain. However, this place is also the most powerful place for Yinhuo Stream. Only those in power are allowed to practice here. He had only heard of this place before, but this time, because the blood fountain was drying up early, he had the opportunity to get close to this place.
Three days ago, Luo Qiang came here to investigate. Although this time it was only his second time, he was very familiar with the surrounding situation and carefully avoided some dangerous places. He came to a pool of blood that was sunken downward at the source of the blood fountain.
Due to the erosion of Yin Fire, the cliffs on both sides of the blood pool are full of holes, as if they will collapse at any time. However, if you look closely, you will find that these seemingly crisp and loose stones are actually extremely hard. Because of the fact that they have been tempered by Yin Fire in the past countless years, these extremely ordinary stones that were thousands of years ago have undergone unpredictable changes, from ordinary stones to some crystals that look very similar to obsidian. The strength of these crystals is extraordinary. Someone once tried to hit them with treasures in his hands, but in the end they did not even have any scars left.
In the past, people from the Qingzhou Prefecture Mansion had thought of mining the crystal stones here to make the city walls of the Qingzhou New Mansion City. However, they found that the manpower and material resources required to mine these crystal stones were far beyond everyone's expectations, and the cost was even more than those from Litian Palace to ask someone to engrave magic circles on the city walls.
For Luo Qiang, it doesn’t matter whether these stones are hard or not or how valuable they are. What’s important is that these stones can provide a place for him to retreat.
Luo Qiang carefully avoided the black and red pool water that had begun to appear, and a foot-high black flames appeared on the surface. Although he was not afraid of poisonous fog, the blood pool water and black yin fire that produced poisonous fog were still fatal to him. Because the cliff walls were covered with various potholes, he could easily find the climbing point, successfully climbed to a hole in the middle of the cliff that one person could drill into, and then drilled into it, and soon came to a cave deep in which he could accommodate at least fifty people.
After entering the cave, Luo Qiang did not relax immediately, but hid in a cold and cold place in the cave. He waited for a while until no abnormal situation was found, and then he found a place to sit down, took out various magic weapons and array flags on his body, placed them one by one, and arranged the formations for cultivation when the blood pool was completely dry.
