The Jin State is so big that there must be many mysterious places that I have never been to. In fact, not only himself, but even many warriors of Jin State did not dare to say that they had traveled across all the mountains and rivers of their country. There is no way, the State of Jin is really too big. It takes more than half a month to travel from north to south. Only a warrior can get out of this. For ordinary people with less physical strength, it would take at least more than a month to travel by horse-drawn carriage. The terrain is varied, although not conducive to walking. But because of this, the resources of the entire Jin State became abundant. According to Qiu Xiyu, there is a precious place for training in the central and northern region of Jin State. This precious land is not ownerless. It was occupied by a force more than three hundred years ago.
It’s just that the ability of this force is average. Moreover, its capabilities have been declining year by year. Over the years, the actual control of Baodi has been divided among many parties. Nowadays, going there to participate in training is generally done through a referral system. Those who can get the recommendation can participate in the training. Su Chen doesn't know much about the relevant situation. Just go there and take a look. Anyway, according to Qiu Xiyu, the training here will be of great benefit to a fifth-grade warrior. The fifth level of snow state of mind is the stage of preparation for advancement to the state of transformation. The training here is all aimed at making the warriors' strength more reliable and stable. The Qiu family is extremely powerful. As a descendant of the Qiu family, the training place introduced by Qiu Xiyu must be extraordinary. All the way to the central and northern parts. On the way, Su Chen would occasionally stop in the cities he passed by. Many people already know about his display at the Dan Yao Tian Exhibition. Amid the discussions among the people, my reputation was gradually recovering, and I even felt it was pretty good. Su Chen listened to the conversations of the people in the cities along the way. I still have a lot of self-esteem. Instead, the actions of Qilou and Liulige received a lot of criticism. Su Chen guessed that the Jin court must be behind this and was fanning the flames and guiding public opinion. He was not a Jin person, but after coming to Jin, he was treated harshly and slandered by the Jin forces.
This is not what the Jin court and the major sects want to see. Especially at the Danyao Tian Exhibition, the alchemy master of Chu State stood up and spoke and made promises. He showed kindness to Su Chen in various ways, demonstrating what it meant to be a great man. Compared with Pavilion Master Peng of Qilou, the gap is even greater. In terms of temperament and character, the alchemy masters of Chu State were clearly superior to those of Jin State. At the Alchemy Exhibition, Su Chen finally declined the invitation from Master Chen Linxuan of the Chu State. This is naturally in line with the interests of the State of Jin. With so many factors combined, the Jin court would definitely give Su Chen some support. In Jin State, there are many people from other countries who practice and live here. Among them, there are many people who have extraordinary status and are of great significance to the State of Jin. There are also many people who will be of great significance to the State of Jin in the future. The harsh treatment of Su Chen can be said to be a heavy blow to this group of people. Helping Su Chen restore his reputation is not only to help Su Chen, but also to stabilize this group of people. Especially since Su Chen finally sided with the State of Jin, he would not get a good result. Then others who are in the same situation need to consider their own situation. The State of Chu also extended an olive branch to everyone. If that situation really occurs, then the State of Chu will be a more suitable place for everyone to live. Considering the relevant reasons, Su Chen was not at all surprised that this situation occurred. With the manipulation of the people behind the scenes, its reputation will continue to improve. Since Wulan Villa attacked him, he naturally had more things to fear. Of course, for Su Chen, the essence of the matter has not changed. People like Fan Chengyan can all get a reputation for being domineering, and Su Chen knows what kind of person she is. What fears and concerns. If she finds an opportunity, she will still attack me. I can't gamble with my life, I think she should be afraid Practicing martial arts and reaching the highest level as quickly as possible is the real way to save your life. It takes about seven days to get from Pishi City to the central and northern part. If I had come to this central and northern area immediately after attending the Dan Yao Tian Exhibition. It should arrive in three days at most. This place is relatively close to Xiayu City, where the Danyaotian Exhibition is held.
In the central and northern region, there is a very long mountain range. Just lying there. Every winter, this mountain range blocks most of the cold currents. Make the southern area a little warmer. The formation of this landform also provides space for many plants to survive. Plants that are not cold-resistant can still survive on the south side of the mountains. Bury it in the soil, and it will sprout again in the spring of next year. But on the north side of the mountains, the situation is completely different. With such severe cold in the north, it is very likely that some of the remaining seeds will be frozen to death. Only cold-resistant plants can survive in the north. This terrain also leads to an increasing diversity of plant types. In some valleys that are protected from wind and cold, some medicinal herbs that prefer warm climates can grow. The mountains stretch across it, and over the years have created many wonders. Among these wonders, there are many mysterious treasures. Among these precious places, some are useful for training, while others are purely poisonous. After hundreds of years of exploration, most areas of the mountain range have been traveled by people. The number of people who died in there must have been tens of thousands. All the major sects want to find some benefits in it. But entering a strange wilderness is not an easy task. Although it is within the territory of Jin State, this mountain range is wide and towering, and there are various terrains within the mountain range. There are even rumors that there are celestial demons in this mountain range. Many monsters live in it. It has been confirmed that it is a monster. There are indeed many monsters living in this mountain range, and their traces have been spotted more than once or twice. But it is still uncertain whether there is a celestial demon. Su Chen walked along the edge of the mountain range. It's winter now, but there's still no snow to be seen along the southern edge of the mountains. The north was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
[A Good Monster Hunter] With the help of destiny, Su Chen walked along the way, observing for any traces of monsters. We did see some traces of small and big monsters, but we did not see any powerful monsters like earth monsters and sky monsters. The mountain range is vast, and Su Chen does not dare to be sure that there are no celestial demons nearby. Now, I just want to reach my destination as quickly as possible. This year's training should be in a few days, so we can't waste too much time. If you miss the time, all your energy coming here will be wasted. It also wasted Qiu Xiyu's kindness. To the southeast of the mountain range, Su Chen had arrived at a city at the foot of the mountain as Qiu Xiyu had said. This is a large city near the mountains. As you walk into the city, you can clearly feel the local characteristics. Su Chen turned his gaze to the distance and looked at those things. The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water. Near this mountain range, there are several times more shops selling mountain products in the city than in other cities. Medicinal materials, animal fur. There is far more of this stuff than anywhere else. Su Chen went up to ask about the price, and it was indeed cheaper than in other cities. This city was called Dingjun City. Before the Jin State, this area was plagued by years of war, with various forces fighting against each other. But no matter which army it is, as long as they reach this mountain range. They would stop to rest, and then march again after that. After this happened many times, the city was named Dingjun City. Su Chen strolled around the city. You can see many people from other places coming here to buy. The largest group of people are those from the medicine refining forces. This kind of terrain close to the mountains can be used to collect a variety of rare medicinal herbs. The complex terrain leads to diverse and strange climate. It is precisely because of this that some strange medicinal herbs are born here. No wonder Dingjun City looks so prosperous. As it can be called the upstream channel for medicine refining, it is not surprising that there is money here.
After eating something, Su Chen didn't waste any time staying. Continue on your journey. This time we didn't walk along the outer edge of the mountain range. Instead, we have to go into the mountains. The training place that Qiu Xiyu mentioned is in this mountain range. This is not surprising. The mountains have a special terrain, so it is normal for them to give birth to those mysterious places for training. Su Chen bought some food before leaving. Once you enter the mountains, you will definitely find food. But it's a bit troublesome. Bringing things with you can save a lot of trouble. After confirming, Su Chen set out into the mountains. Qiu Xiyu drew a simple sketch for himself. It is relatively easy to find Dingjun City, but once you get here and walk further inside, the location becomes less easy to find. Qiu Xiyu also emphasized to Su Chen that he should be careful of the monsters in the mountains. Every year, many herbalists in Dingjun City are injured by monsters. There should be quite a lot of monsters in the mountains. Su Chen was not worried about the monsters. All he needed to do now was to find the way clearly. As he walked forward, even though it was getting dark, Su Chen did not stop. With the help of [Monster Hunter], you don’t have to worry about monsters attacking you. After being promoted to the fifth rank, it was no longer difficult for him to see the surroundings clearly at night. It takes about three hours to walk deep into the mountains. Su Chen saw that there were a lot of lights in the deep mountains in the distance. This mountain range is not only long, but also very wide. Logically speaking, the deeper you go, the quieter it should be. It's already early winter, how can there be light in the deep mountains at night? That large ball of light was not a fire. It looks more like a gathering point. After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen looked at the sketch that Qiu Xiyu drew for him. The large ball of light seemed to be right on the path of the sketch.
Seeing this, Su Chen did not hesitate and went straight to the ball of light in the distance. Under the cover of night, this ball of light is quite conspicuous. Moreover, it didn't feel like it was far, but it turned out to be a long way before I got there. Su Chen practiced the "Walking Cloud Step" and simply quickened his pace. It is now the Yin hour. At this late hour of the night, the light balls are still very bright, even brighter than at the beginning. Su Chen quickened his pace. When we actually walked in, we found that this was actually a village. It feels a bit strange to call it a village. More like a very small town. A town suddenly appeared in the deep mountains. If someone was less courageous, he would probably be so scared that he wouldn't dare to go in at all, right? After getting closer, Su Chen could see clearly what the swaying ball of light was. It is a lamp hanging on the eaves of every house here. From a distance, the separated lights converge into one ball. Although there was a lamp hanging under the eaves of each house around, the town was very quiet. But it's normal. It's so quiet in the middle of the night. But seeing this kind of town in the wilderness really makes one think too much. Holding a knife in his hand, Su Chen stepped into the pocket-sized town with some caution. Su Chen was very sure that there were no monsters around and that there were people here. Before he had taken a few steps, two people walked out of the alley not far away. "Brother, is this your first time here? You look nervous and you have a knife in your hand. Do you think we are evil bandits or ghosts?" One of the younger men spoke with a hint of sarcasm. This shouldn't be the first time they've met someone like Su Chen. Entered the town very nervously and seriously. Hearing this, Su Chen relaxed a little, but still remained somewhat vigilant. “There’s an inn ahead where you can buy some food. It's late at night, you must be tired after running around, right?"
Su Chen did not answer, but just followed them forward. As the two of them spoke, they began to introduce the situation here in various ways. To be honest, Su Chen was indeed overthinking it. There are many such gathering points in the mountains, and there are many throughout the entire mountain range. The mountains are long and wide, and every year many people go into the mountains to collect herbs. In this complex terrain, countless people get lost. There's no way, rare medicinal herbs are just so hateful. I just like to grow in strange places, which make people lost and unable to find their way. Years of lessons learned, plus this is actually a business opportunity. This gathering point in the mountains came into being. “The lamp under the eaves is called the life-saving lamp. Do you know why it is called the life-saving lamp? If you get lost in these deep mountains and see the lights, you can find our gathering point. The life that would have been lost was saved. You must have found us by looking at this light, right?" The two were quite enthusiastic, and Su Chen also started to talk to them. These two people are the receptionists at the gathering point, and their job is to receive temporary guests like Su Chen. As for the safety of the entire gathering point, it is the responsibility of other warriors. As for these warriors, they are all resting at the moment. Their status is not low, and they will not stand guard here every day. Arrange at most a few people on duty. Su Chen followed the two into the inn and invited them to eat something. The inn is open all night and the prices are more than three times higher than outside. But in the deep mountains, it is understandable. Moving things around has costs. If you don’t bring any money, it’s not a big problem. The collected herbs can be directly deducted. Even if there are no medicinal herbs, you can still eat. I just want to help out here and repay my debt by doing the work.
While eating, Su Chen listened to the two talking about the situation in the mountains. (End of this chapter)
