Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 149 Xiao Qi's Journey
"Collecting dropped spirit stones? It seems that the system has localized Doraemon's props..."

Xia Chen opened the square beehive in his hand, revealing densely packed lattice-shaped honeycombs.

And a "buzzing" sound was heard.

Soon, dozens of thumb-sized golden bees flew out.

It looks like it is made of gold, emitting a sparkling glow.

"Buzz..."

Most of the golden bees flew out of the Tianyan Hall.

A small number of them were actually wandering around the hall.

Not long after, a bee from the hall flew over, holding a low-grade spirit stone.

After placing it in front of Xia Chen, it flew out again.

"It looks like someone accidentally dropped it!"

The Tianyan Hall is extremely vast and contains a huge space, so it is normal to have scattered spirit stones.

After a while, a low "buzzing" sound was heard from the front of the hall.

Finally, one of the money-collecting bees that were outside came back first.

It was struggling to move a fist-sized spirit stone, which was sometimes high and sometimes low, and it looked very strenuous.

"Oh, it's actually a mid-grade spirit stone!"

Xia Chen was happy.

However, the surface of this mid-grade spirit stone is slightly yellowish and has many tiny cracks. It looks quite old, so its value is discounted.

He guessed that it was probably left behind by an elder or disciple of the Tianyan Immortal Sect who had passed away.

According to the system introduction, money-collecting bees will only collect those dropped unowned spirit stones.

A medium-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones. No elder or disciple would throw it away casually.

"It would be great if the business scope of the Money-Gathering Bee was not limited to Spiritual Stones. There are countless ownerless magical treasures scattered around."

Xia Chen felt a little sorry.

Then I got a little confused:

"This shouldn't be possible. After all, I have the E-level lucky bullet. How could I draw an item with such a mediocre effect?"

If it was when he just crossed over, it might have been of some use, but now he really doesn't care about these spirit stones.

Is it possible that the way it is opened is wrong?
While he was thinking about it, a girl in a green dress walked in. It was the Seven-Leaf Sword Grass.

Her skin was as white as cream, her eyes were as hazy as autumn water, her lips were red, and she was very beautiful. There was a hint of sharpness between her eyebrows, which frightened people and made them dare not look at her.

"I want to travel for a while and hone my swordsmanship!" said the Seven-Leaf Sword Grass.

Recently, she has been particularly fond of human figures.

Because swords were originally made by humans, using swords can better demonstrate kendo.

Although the sword grass form can burst out unparalleled sword intent, it lacks sword moves and swordsmanship, and is quite ugly.

During this period, she felt that blindly working behind closed doors would not improve her swordsmanship much, so she thought about traveling around and taking the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

"Do you want to go to Wu Kingdom to cultivate immortals?" Xia Chen asked.

"Ok!"

The Seven-Leaf Sword Grass nodded.

The world of immortal cultivation in Jin State is still too decadent, with only a few big and small cats left.

On the other hand, in the Wu Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, there were many strong men and experts, and the world was thriving.

Xia Chen thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Then he turned and came to the depths of the Tianyan Hall, chanting a spell silently. Ripples appeared in the void, and a portal appeared. It was about ten feet high and engraved with flowing cloud patterns. It was simple and elegant, but also had a fairy-like feel, and gave off an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

A three-foot-long sword was taken out from the treasury. It was emerald green and seemed to be carved from a whole piece of jade. The sword body was cold and shiny, as smooth as a mirror, and could almost reflect people.

There is also an elegant and luxurious dress with layers of glassy luster flowing on it, and countless delicate runes faintly intertwined in it.

After coming out, he handed it directly to Xiaoqi.

The sword is called the Jade Frost Sword, and it is a top-grade third-rank sword. When used, it feels chilling and contains an extremely cold and icy energy, making it extremely powerful.

But ordinary monks cannot withstand this cold.

The Seven-Leaf Sword Grass is a spiritual plant that has attained enlightenment, so it is naturally not afraid.

And that Xiayi is a robe of the highest grade treasure. In addition to having unparalleled defensive capabilities, it also has many magical features.

After all, it was refined by the 13th sect leader before he achieved Nascent Soul stage. She was one of the few female sect leaders in the history of Tianyan, and the treasures she refined were extraordinary.

Xia Chen then took out the toy army.

With these three treasures, as long as we don't encounter those Nascent Soul ancestors, we should be able to escape.

"Forget about the toy army. I want experience, not travel!"

Xiao Qi still refused.

"Fine!"

Xia Chen didn't force it.

In fact, if props are not used, the strength of the Seven-Leaf Sword Grass is not much weaker than his own.

Especially since it was practicing the mysterious "Cao Zi Jue", which was obtained from the ancient cave in Hongfeng Ridge. It is extremely powerful and should be able to protect itself.

Afterwards, the Seven-Leaf Sword Grass turned into a green light and disappeared.
-
The following days.

More and more cultivators are coming to Yunxian City because of its fame.

The cave dwelling deep in the city also attracted several Jindan Zhenren to live there.

But it also brought trouble.

Outside Yuntian City.

Xia Chen stood on the edge of the clouds, looking far towards the east.

Soon, roars of monsters were heard from the distant sky, as if thousands of troops were galloping, fog was rolling, and clouds covered the sky.

Upon closer inspection, they saw eight monsters flying in the clouds, each carrying a cultivator on its back.

Those monsters all have the strength of the second-level upper grade, all of them are covered with scales and look extremely ferocious.

Behind him, a chariot was rolling in, filled with murderous aura.

A huge flag was erected next to the chariot, fluttering in the wind, with a majestic look. There were three big characters written on it: Biluo Gate!
"Fellow Daoists, what brings you to Yunxian City? What brings you to Yunxian City?"

Xia Chen bowed.

He observed from afar on the surveillance video that a force was rapidly approaching Yunxian City.

So he left the city early to deal with it.

"Are you the Lord of Yunxian City?"

The monk on the back of the monster in the middle stepped forward and shouted.

"Yes, I am Xia Chen, the leader of Tianyan Immortal Sect!" Xia Chen said.

"That Qingyangzi stole the magic of our sect and committed a heinous crime. He fled to Yunxian City. Since you are the city lord, you must hand him over immediately!" said the Jindan cultivator coldly.

"All cultivators who enter Yunxian City are under the protection of Tianyan Immortal Sect. If you want to capture Qingyangzi, please wait until he comes out before taking action!"

Xia Chen said calmly.

"How dare you! Are you planning to go against the Biluo Sect?"

The Jindan monk shouted loudly.

The eight monsters carried the monks forward together, full of murderous aura and solemn killing spirit, and their momentum rose sharply.

Among them, three cultivators have reached the Golden Core Stage.

The remaining five were also half-step Jindan, plus the second-level superior exotic beast under them.

It can almost sweep across most of the Jin Kingdom’s cultivation world.

Xia Chen had no expression on his face and just snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, sounds of beasts roaring and birds chirping were heard from the city.

A strange black bird flew over like a dark cloud, very ferocious, its entire body seemed to be made of metal, flowing with a terrifying luster, and its wings spread out, were dozens of meters long.

Then he landed on the tall city wall with a cold look.

Then there was a flash of red light.

A blood marten appeared next to Xia Chen. It was more than ten feet long, with a blood-red glow all over its body. Its eyes were as crystal clear as rubies, and it also had a pair of red wings on its back.

It rubbed Xia Chen's right leg with its head and seemed to enjoy it very much.

At some point, a green monster appeared on the left. Its body was shiny green, and its fur was as smooth as satin and very crystal clear. It also had a jade horn on its head, which emitted a five-colored divine light.

Roar!
Two strange beasts, each three meters tall, appeared from behind, exuding a murderous aura.

The eight mounts in the distance immediately became uneasy. A trembling from the bottom of their souls arose in their hearts, and they wanted to escape.

The monk on their backs tried their best to calm them down, and only then did they manage to stay where they were.

"When did the Tianyan Sect have the means of the Beast Emperor Sect?"

An old man with white hair and a wrinkled face walked out from the chariot. His skin was delicate and he was wearing a green silk robe. There was a gleam of light in his eyes, showing his profound magical power.

Even stronger than Li Yuhai who is in the late Jindan stage.

"Brother Dao, Yunxian City is a place of free trade. Qingyangzi has rented the cave house in the city for a year. During this period, our Tianyan Sect must guarantee its safety. Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold in the cultivation world of the two countries?"

Xia Chen bowed, spoke in a gentle tone, and was very relaxed.

Behind him, the five ancient species exuded a fierce, domineering, cruel and bloody aura.

They all have the strength of a mid-level third-grade being, and have powerful bloodlines and extraordinary innate magical powers.

Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm holding a mid-grade treasure may not be a match for these ancient species.

The old man on the battlefield changed his expression again and again. With his own strength and the presence of several elders, he could defeat these five ancient beasts.

But even if they win, it will be a pyrrhic victory, and I'm afraid most of the elders will die in the battle.

What's more, he felt that the young man in front of him was mysterious and might have some background.

He then said, "Since Yunxian City is located in the territory of Jin State's immortal cultivation world, it would be difficult for my Biluo Sect to force its way in!"

Then he said, "Ruan Liu, you enter Yunxian City and rent a cave next to Qingyangzi, and monitor his movements at all times."

"Yes!"

The cultivator in the middle got off the strange beast, walked between Xia Chen and a group of ancient creatures, and passed through the moat.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After paying the spirit stones, he hurried into the city.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, goodbye!"

The old man spoke in a cold tone, then turned and entered the chariot.

Then the chariot rumbled, crushed through the sky, making the void tremble, and quickly moved away.

Eight strange beasts and seven monks followed far behind.

Xia Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there was no fight, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses.

Today’s game will surely be spread soon.

After all, the Biluo Sect is one of the top ten immortal sects in the Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. It is full of powerful people and has produced many Nascent Soul True Lords.

The reputation of Yunxian City will be further enhanced, and at least the sales of the cave residences will be greatly increased.

After guarding the City Lord's Mansion for a few more days, he returned to the Tianyan Hall.

In the beehive, many golden bees have already crawled in to rest.

There were a lot of spirit stones piled on the ground next to it.

Most of them are low-grade spirit stones.

A lot of the spiritual energy has been sucked out of them and they have no value.

Unexpectedly, it was also carried here by the money-collecting bees.

Xia Chen smiled bitterly and was about to put the item away, but suddenly something occurred to him:
"Since money-collecting bees can collect spiritual stones that fall on the ground, I wonder if they can collect raw spiritual stones in nature?"

According to the ancient books of Tianyan, in the era when heaven and earth combined to give birth to all things, the situation was chaotic and misty, with the spiritual energy very dense. Some jade minerals could absorb the original essence floating between heaven and earth, and they were as crystal clear as amber, containing a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

The surface of these jades is usually covered with a layer of stone skin to prevent the leakage of their own spiritual energy. Even cultivators cannot see through this stone skin. Only by peeling off the surface can they know whether there are spiritual stones inside.

Just like jade, when it is wrapped in old skin, you can only know whether it is "green" by cutting it open.

Therefore, compared with spirit veins, the search for spirit stone mines is thousands of times more difficult.

A notable feature of spiritual veins is that they are rich in spiritual energy and are mostly found in famous mountains and rivers.

Spiritual ores are different. Due to the presence of stone skin, they cannot be identified by spiritual energy.

Moreover, spiritual mines do not necessarily exist in mountains with abundant spiritual energy. They can also be found in many places with barren spiritual energy.

After all, the existence of spiritual stones is unimaginable, and some can be traced back to ancient times.

But the world has changed dramatically.

A place rich in spiritual energy may become a barren land after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Those Hundred Thousand Mountains might have also been a desert in ancient times.

Therefore, it is very difficult to find spiritual mines. One needs to observe the topography of mountains and rivers, know the direction of underground dark veins, and sometimes correspond with the stars in the sky. There are few people in the entire world of immortal cultivation who can master this ability.

This is also the reason why the Tianyan Immortal Sect has not discovered any spirit stone mines in these years.

The spiritual stone vein in Mangdang Mountain was discovered by Xia Chen accidentally using the underground gas.

If the money-collecting bees can find the original spirit stones, then they will make a lot of money.

Xia Chen knocked on the beehive, and suddenly, a group of golden bees flew out, buzzing in front of him.

He took out a fist-sized stone from his storage bag. It looked ordinary.

"Are these spiritual stones, or money?"

A few money-collecting bees came forward, circled the stone a few times, and then nodded vigorously.

Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

This is the real use of money-collecting bees!

He was surprised before. After all, it was blessed by E-level red bullets, so how could it be a useless prop?

Unexpectedly, he himself did not find the real use of the money-collecting bee.

"Go find such a spiritual stone!"

Xia Chen took the original spirit stone and gave the order.

The money-collecting bees immediately vibrated their wings, which were as thin as cicada wings, and golden stars flew out of the gate with a buzzing sound at an extremely fast speed, just like a group of birds flying through the clouds.

These money-collecting bees also have a certain degree of intelligence and are not dead creatures.

He selected one of the golden bees and followed it leisurely.

The golden bee kept flying south, stopping and starting along the way, as if it was flying aimlessly.

After flying for five or six hundred miles, it suddenly stopped in a stream, stayed in the air for a long time, and finally rushed into the water.

After a while, he grabbed up a pale yellow stone about the size of a fist.

Xia Chen waved his hand and the pale yellow stone was in his hand. Although it was a small piece, it felt very heavy in his hand.

He emitted energy from his fingers, and with a few strokes he scraped off most of the skin, revealing an amber-like inner core with something like mist and glow flowing through it.
