Wang Daoyuan strolled around the old shop for a while, but there was nothing he wanted to buy. When he returned to the Alchemy Seal Pavilion, Wang Shouye had already returned.
The two of them arrived at the dock behind the Jade Spring General Store, where the spirit ship was already waiting for them.
The spirit ship was still the same kind of spirit ship used to transport goods when they left the mountain. The only difference was that this time, the ship was going against the current and required spirit stones or a cultivator's spiritual force to drive it.
The spirit ship wasn't loaded with any large cargo and was almost empty. With the help of several family disciples, the speed was even faster than when they left the mountain. In less than a day, the Jade Spring Peak was already in sight.
Standing on the boat and gazing into the distance, one could only see the Jade Spring Peak shrouded in clouds and mist, and the Jade Dragon Stream meandered through the mountains, as if a jade dragon was faintly discernible within the clouds. At the top of the mountain, the pavilions and terraces seemed to be there but not there. It really did have the atmosphere of a celestial mountain.
The spirit ship cut through the waves on the river, moving as if it was flying. Not long after, it arrived at the foot of Jade Spring Peak.
The Clan Leader ordered the two of them to return immediately without delay. There must be something urgent. The two of them naturally didn't dare to delay. They didn't even return to their respective cave residences and went straight to the Assembly Hall.
The core buildings of the clan were all near the Jade Dragon Spring. The ancestral temple was on a large rock to the north of the Jade Dragon Spring. The meeting hall was on the east side of the Jade Dragon Spring. The administrative hall was on the southeast side of the Jade Dragon Spring.
The Discussion Hall was the place where the Patriarch and the Elders of the clan discussed matters. All matters of the clan, big or small, were discussed here.
The south bank of the Jade Dragon Spring was relatively low, and the spring water flowed into the Jade Dragon Stream from here. The Jade Dragon Spring was a Spirit Spring, and also the Spirit Eye of the Jade Spring Peak's Spirit Vein. The so-called Spirit Eye was the place where the Spirit Qi was the densest in a Spirit Vein.
The spring water was filled with spiritual energy and was extremely effective when used to water the spiritual fields. The spiritual fields on Jade Spring Peak were all distributed on both sides of the Jade Dragon Stream.
When Wang Daoyuan and Wang Zhian walked out of the Assembly Hall, they heard Patriarch Wang Zhian say, "This time, the Netherworld Sect has issued a conscription order, conscripting the disciples of the affiliated clans to go to Wild Goose Mountain's Wild Goose Valley to clean up the demonic beasts that threaten the Wild Goose Valley's trade routes. Our Wang Clan will send out one Foundation Establishment cultivator and ten Qi Refinement cultivators.
There were only a few Rank Two Demonic Beasts that could threaten the trade route. The rest were all Rank One Demonic Beasts.
The clean-up mission isn't that dangerous, so what I'm thinking is to send out a few disciples with good aptitudes. Just treat it as training.
I will personally lead the team. My twelfth brother, Zhi Ming, is an expert in alchemy and healing. If he goes with us, the injured family members can be treated as soon as possible.
In addition, Shouye's cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Refinement. Cultivating in seclusion wouldn't be of much use. Instead, he should gain more experience and follow along.
Dao Xing's cultivation had also reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement. It was time for him to go out and experience the killing.
There's also Dao Yuan. Thanks to his cleverness, he managed to fool all the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Otherwise, our Wang Clan would have suffered a great loss. This time, he should be able to gain a lot by bringing him along.
…
Elders, do you have anything to add? "
Wang Daoxing was ranked second among his peers. He had two Spiritual Roots, and his main Spiritual Root was a Metal Spiritual Root. Among his peers, his Spiritual Root was second only to Wang Daochang. It was also very likely that he would reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
None of the elders had any objections.
The Patriarch continued, "Since that's the case, then it's decided."
Wang Daoyuan and Wang Shouye entered the meeting hall. Wang Zhian saw the two of them. "You heard it too. Get ready and set off as soon as possible."
He then glanced at Wang Daoyuan and said, "Twenty years old and already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Your Second and Third Brother are also at this speed. However, cultivation needs to be down-to-earth. You must know that more haste, less speed. If you blindly strive for speed and your foundation isn't stable, you'll be in big trouble.
Judging from your vigorous aura, you should know the severity of the matter. I won't say too much. Also, most pills have pill toxins. If you rely too much on pills, pill toxins will accumulate in your body. Once they erupt, your foundation will be damaged at best, and your life will be in danger at worst. "
Wang Daoyuan repeatedly said yes, but he didn't think so in his heart. He had sufficient spiritual honey. Although Tier 1 spiritual honey couldn't dispel the pill toxins in his body, taking pills and spiritual honey together could greatly reduce the absorption of pill toxins and suppress the pill toxins in his body.
Therefore, although Wang Daoyuan often took pills, the pill toxins in his body didn't accumulate much. With his body's condition, even if he took pills and spiritual honey together for several decades, there wouldn't be any hidden dangers of pill toxins erupting.
A day later, Wang Shouye took Wang Daoyuan and ten other Qi Refinement cultivators and left Jade Spring Peak. They headed for Gold Goose City, which was more than five thousand li to the west.
Gold Goose City was at the southern end of Guiyan Valley. It was an "immortal city". Most of the people living in the city were cultivators. A few mortals were also descendants of cultivators.
Gold Goose City was originally a stronghold.
Huiyan Mountain towered into the clouds, separating the north from the south. After thousands of years of fighting, the human race completely occupied the south of Huiyan Mountain.
Under the repeated sweeps by the human race, the demon race in the east of Huiyan Mountain was no longer a threat. Most of the demon beasts fled to the west of Huiyan Mountain, which was tens of thousands of li away. That place was sparsely populated and was still the territory of the demon race.
Therefore, Huiyan Mountain became the dividing line between the human race and the demon race. The south of the mountain was the territory of the human race, and the north of the mountain was inhabited by the human race and the demon race.
Huiyan Mountain as a whole was high in the west and low in the east. The main mountain range had been hidden thousands of li away from Gold Goose City. In the area of Gold Goose City, there were few continuous mountains. Most of them were relatively isolated peaks. To the east, they were connected with the scattered peaks in the periphery of Tian Zhan Mountain Range. Even so, for the human race, the mountain road in the east of Huiyan Mountain was rugged and difficult to travel. It was still an insurmountable moat.
Of course, Huiyan Mountain was not without flaws. In the whole mountain range, there were several relatively flat mountain roads that could connect the north and south. Guiyan Valley was one of them.
In order to prevent the demon race from using these mountain roads to sneak attack, the human race built fortresses at the southern end of each mountain road.
Among the many fortresses, Gold Goose City was somewhat special.
Guiyan Valley was the widest, flattest and shortest mountain road in Huiyan Mountain.
Wild geese in the north of the mountain flew to the south. It was difficult to cross Huiyan Mountain. Only from Guiyan Valley to the north and south of the mountain, Guiyan Valley got its name.
In recent hundreds of years, the battle between the human race and the demon race had decreased. The two races began to have business dealings. The Guiyan Valley, which was the best to go through, became the most important trade route.
Every year, a large number of goods went from Guiyan Valley to the north and south. This trade route brought a lot of income to the Ghost Sect.
However, since two years ago, the caravans were often attacked by the demon beasts. The cultivators of the Ghost Sect who escorted the caravans suffered heavy losses. The loss of goods also made the Ghost Sect feel painful.
What was more serious was the Guiyan Market at the northern end of Guiyan Valley, which was the trading place of the two races. The caravans were attacked again and again, which seriously affected the trade between the two races.
Once the trade was interrupted, the two races could not get what they needed through trade. It was very likely that they would get the resources they needed through war.
Therefore, the Ghost Sect spent a lot of effort to investigate the attack.
The results of the investigation showed that the attack might be the spontaneous behavior of some remaining demon beasts in Huiyan Mountain. There were spirit veins and plants, so naturally, there would be demon beasts. The narrowest part of Huiyan Mountain was nearly two to three thousand miles. The demon beasts hiding in it could not be killed.
Demon beasts attacking the caravans happened from time to time on the various trade routes in Huiyan Mountain. It was not a rare thing.
The investigation found that the demon beasts were entrenched in the forest hundreds of miles around Guiyan Valley. There were tens of thousands of demon beasts.
Fortunately, there were no demon beasts above the third rank. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. Even so, it would take a lot of effort to eliminate the demon beasts.
The most difficult thing was not to defeat the demon beasts, but to ensure that no demon beasts escaped the net. If they only defeated the demon beasts, they would scatter and flee. After a while, they would come back again and attack the caravans endlessly.
In order to completely solve the problem, the Ghost Sect recruited three thousand cultivators from the affiliated forces, one thousand rogue cultivators, and one thousand soldiers, a total of five thousand cultivators. In addition, there were three elders of the Purple Mansion Sect.
