The Changbai Mountain was located 3,400 kilometers south of Lan Province's White River City.
The Changbai Mountain was a continuous mountain range. The main peak was covered with white floating stones and snow.
Among the locals, there was a saying, "Thousands of years of snow, thousands of years of pine trees, straight to the Lan Province's first peak."
Due to the appearance of the "Golden Jade Well" rumor, many cultivators came from afar. Therefore, the Changbai Mountain was much more lively than before.
In fact, not to mention whether this "Golden Jade Well" truly existed, even if it did exist, the mystery of karma was so obscure and difficult to understand. Apart from a small number of cultivators, what use would most people have for it?
Moreover, according to the rumors, this "Golden Jade Well" was a spiritual object that had gained sentience. That meant that it could move and hide on its own. The Changbai Mountain was so big, how could they find it? Wouldn't it be a waste of time for something that they couldn't use?
Therefore, in the beginning, although the rumor of the "Golden Jade Well" had appeared, not many people were tempted to come to the Changbai Mountain to search for treasures. After all, cultivators who were really stupid were in the minority.
Until a few days ago, another incident happened. A rogue cultivator encountered the "Golden Jade Well" in the Changbai Mountain. Although he couldn't catch it in the end, he took a ginseng root from it.
And this ginseng root was quickly bought by another middle-aged cultivator at a high price.
Others hadn't seen the "Golden Jade Well", but the scene of the middle-aged cultivator spending a lot of money to buy the ginseng root was witnessed by many people.
This incident was equivalent to confirming two things:
First, the "Golden Jade Well" really existed in the Changbai Mountain. Because other than the ginseng root of the "Golden Jade Well", what other spirit herb's ginseng root would be so valuable?
Second, although this "Golden Jade Well" was useless to them, with the middle-aged cultivator's "buying horse bones with a thousand gold" before, everyone knew that as long as they caught it, someone would be willing to buy it at a high price. They didn't have to worry about not being able to make a profit.
Therefore, many people couldn't hold back and came to the Changbai Mountain to search for treasures.
.....
Amidst the wave of people searching the mountain for treasures, Lu Qingshan used the Nightstalker Ancient Jade to change his appearance and quietly entered the Changbai Mountain area.
Yes, he still came.
If he wanted to improve his Intent Realm, it was not something that could be solved by secluded cultivation. He had to travel outside and search for opportunities and so-called inspiration.
In any case, they were traveling. Since there was news of Golden Well Yu Lan in Changbai Mountain, why not come and take a look?
There was a small town at the foot of Changbai Mountain. It was built on the path that one had to pass to enter Changbai Mountain.
The town was first developed because the spirit herbs in the Changbai Mountains were quite abundant. It was a place that provided services for cultivators who came to the Changbai Mountains to pick herbs.
If he wanted to find Golden Jade Well, he naturally couldn't be a headless fly.
That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, the first thing Lu Qingshan did after entering the Changbai Mountain area was to enter the bustling town and inquire about Jinjing Yulan.
What he didn't notice was that there were one or two cultivators hiding in the many gateways of this small town with a normal expression and an ancient bronze mirror in their arms.
Just as he entered the town, a cultivator's expression flickered, and he quietly took out a communication magical device and began to transmit some information.
.....
In a secluded hall in the small town.
"How is it?" The Life Demanding Division cultivator, Yin Du, looked at his subordinate who had just entered and asked with a cold snort.
"My lord, through the Reflection Mirror, there are a total of 12 perfected Nascent Soul cultivators who have come to Changbai Mountain in the past 10 days. We've checked them all, and none of them are Lu Qingshan …" Ming Yuanzi replied respectfully.
This time, their operation strategy was very similar to the one at the Western Region's Hades. They used the Reflection Realm and started with his cultivation base. No matter how much Lu Qingshan's appearance changed, his current cultivation base was stuck at the perfected Nascent Soul stage because of his conception.
Hence, they only had to check the cultivators whose cultivation bases were at the perfected Nascent Soul stage. Not only would they save their energy, but they would also not make any mistakes.
Ming Yuanzi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "My lord, will we really be able to trick Lu Qingshan into coming here with the commotion we've created? I have a feeling that this person isn't that easy to fool … "
"We only have to complete the mission assigned to us by our superiors," Yin Du said nonchalantly. Then, he reminded them, "Have you confirmed that everyone's ready?
This Lu Qingshan is capable of causing both the Eastern and Western Regions to fail. He's not a simple person. If you let him escape because of your carelessness, you know the consequences … "
"Don't worry, my lord. Everyone will be ready. Once Lu Qingshan shows himself, we'll definitely trap him and make sure he dies a horrible death!" Ming Yuanzi felt uneasy. He hastily patted his chest and guaranteed, "Moreover, the scale of our operation this time isn't something that the arrogant Eastern and Western Regions can compare to. We'll definitely succeed!"
Yin Du glanced at his confident subordinate and said coldly, "That's good."
Ming Yuanzi was about to take his leave when his expression suddenly changed. This was because he received the latest news from the Communication Artifact hanging at his waist.
Ming Yuanzi hastily said, "My lord, that Lu Qingshan has really appeared!"
His words were shocking. Yin Du, who had been wearing a cold expression, could not help but reveal a hint of astonishment.
'I've actually managed to trick this Lu Qingshan into coming here?'
In the next moment, Yin Du regained his senses. He stood up abruptly. "What are we waiting for, then? Success lies in this battle.
Everyone, move out and end this quickly. Once we take down Lu Qingshan, immediately teleport away through the Transportation Formation! "
"Yes, my lord!" Ming Yuanzi said excitedly.
This was an unimaginable contribution!
.....
The town was extremely lively due to Jinjing Yulan's appearance. Many merchants had also made a small fortune because of it.
They were the only group of cultivators in the town who hoped that Jinjing Yulan could be more cunning and hold on for a little longer. It would be best if he could never be captured.
Ma Yun was one of these merchants.
He ran a grocery store, which sold maps of the Changbai Mountains.
The first thing these foreign cultivators would do if they wanted to enter the mountains to search for treasures was to buy a map. Hence, his business had been booming recently.
Ma Yun, who was in a good mood, was leisurely chatting with the middle-aged cultivator who had just entered to buy a map.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. A black light blasted over and directly overturned his grocery store.
Ma Yun, who did not know what had happened, raised his head in confusion.
Then, he noticed that there were dozens of black shadows rushing toward his overturned grocery store from all around the town.
At the same time, dozens of undisguised auras burst forth from these black shadows.
Ma Yun's heart trembled.
Those were the auras of Void Refinement cultivators!
Dozens of Void Refinement cultivators! 'What's going on?!'
The town was not big. For Void Refinement cultivators, this distance was just a matter of lifting their feet.
Hence, the encirclement was instantly formed. Dozens of Void Refinement cultivators surrounded the grocery store. Moreover, it was not just one layer. They were stacked on top of each other and looked extremely heavy.
The leader was a cultivator in a blood-red robe. He landed in front of Ma Yun with a cold gaze.
Ma Yun's legs were trembling. He was at a loss. 'You've mobilized such a large force just to rob my shabby grocery store?'
"I didn't expect that we'd put in so much effort just to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator like you …" Yin Du looked at Lu Qingshan, who was disguised as a middle-aged cultivator, and said in a sinister voice, "Lu Qingshan, this is called …"
"The willing ones take the bait!"
