The only way

Chapter 915 Qingquan Mountains
There is a spring in the mountain, which is as clear as air and you can see the bottom. It tastes sweet when you drink it.

There was a severe drought that year, leaving a thousand miles of barren land. Dust rose from the rivers, no grass grew in the fields, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

I saw the mountain was faintly green, and there was a clear spring gushing out, gurgling continuously.

The mountain spring exists for more than three months. When winter comes, frost and snow fall from the sky, and then the water from the melted snow nourishes the earth.

In March of the following year, spring returned to the earth, the rivers became shallow streams, the mountain springs gradually died down, and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only the writings and words and legends of the people of the time.

Zhenren Qianyi, a Jindan cultivator from Liangyi Peak of the Sanqing Taoist sect who was in charge of guarding Qingquan Mountain Range, one of the border areas between the two states, chattered endlessly about the origin of the name of this mountain range to the woman in green clothes beside him.

There was respect in his words and enthusiasm. From time to time, he glanced at the woman beside him who had entered the realm at the same time as him and was now a Nascent Soul cultivator. There was a hint of yearning and emotion in his eyes.

Times have changed, and the fear and shock I felt when I first started seem to still be before my eyes. Now my level of cultivation is somewhat different.

The path is always cruel. He already has good aptitude and works hard, and his cultivation speed is not slow. But there are always some people in this world who have better aptitude than you, are just as hardworking, and have an astonishing cultivation speed.

It is truly an existence that can sharpen one's mind.

Taoist Qianyi had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but he just sighed. There were so many evil people in the world, and it was good enough for him to practice down-to-earth and move forward step by step.

Why envy others?
As for talking about the past, there is no need to do so. Not all disciples who entered the sect lived together. Men and women lived separately, and later they entered different mountains.

We don't have any deep friendship among ourselves, at most we are just familiar faces.

Zhenren Qianyi was not sure whether Zhenjun Taiwei recognized who he was.

Naturally, I won’t reminisce about the past rashly.

Ling Chu naturally recognized Master Qianyi, but the two of them did not have much friendship, and the current situation was not an occasion for reminiscing about the past, so he did not say much, but just listened quietly to the other party's endless introduction to the situation of the Qingquan Mountains.

The Qingquan Mountains were originally an unnamed mountain range. Later, when the area suffered from a drought, clear springs flowed down the mountain, saving the lives of countless people in the area.

After the drought, this place was named Qingquan Mountain Range to commemorate the spring that saved lives.

However, the clear spring in the legend disappeared after the drought and has never appeared again since then. Many locals regard it as just a local legend.

According to legend, some people call this clear spring the Qingquan Fairy. To this day, there are still Qingquan Temples in villages and towns where the so-called Qingquan Fairy is enshrined.

However, the monks of the Three Pure Ones sect thought otherwise. They suspected that the so-called clear spring might be some kind of intelligent water spirit, or a rare treasure or monster that could control water.

Spiritual creatures or intelligent monsters will hide themselves after a drought, and mortals will naturally not be able to find them.

During this demonic disaster, some mortals living near the Qingquan Mountains believed in the legend of Qingquan and fled to the mountains to take shelter.

Miraculously, these people actually survived safely. After the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect took over the place, they were discovered by the monks and returned to the village.

Later, some people were curious about how they survived in the mountains, but they couldn't explain it clearly. They only remembered that it rained, and then they didn't remember anything.

The only thing I remember is that the rain was very gentle, and the fine raindrops were like a soft spring breeze.

Afterwards, Zhenren Qianyi also went up the mountain to investigate and found some corpses of demons and a faint and clear fluctuation of spiritual power.

Zhenren Qianyi suspected that it was the clear spring that the people here talked about, but he searched the mountains and found no trace of the spring, and the only few rivers did not seem unusual.

From this point of view, True Man Qianyi believed that Qingquan's strength must be no less than his, but he didn't know whether he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

But at present, it seems that this spring is close to the human race. Qianyi Zhenren has been looking for it in vain, and he does not want to anger this so-called spring, so he can only ignore it. Now that Lingchu has arrived, the existence of the Nascent Soul cultivator has given Qianyi Zhenren a clue, so he told the matter.

In any case, a line of defense must be established behind the Qingquan Mountains. If there are beings of unknown strength, there may be variables.

Ling Chu nodded in understanding and decided that she would keep this matter in mind.

But for now, she would follow the monks of the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect stationed here to the garrison.

The Qingquan Mountains consist of more than ten mountains that separate Jiuming Prefecture and Yun Prefecture. There are only a few villages scattered in the valleys near the outskirts of the mountains.

Further in, there are mountains and valleys that no one has ever set foot on.

The Three Pure Ones Taoist sect's base was not in an ordinary village, but in an uninhabited area deep in the mountains, in a valley only three mountains away from Yunzhou.

Across a mountain from here is a dilapidated village in Yunzhou.

Because of the invasion of the demons, most of Yunzhou has been destroyed, especially the mortal villages and towns, where nine out of ten houses are empty.

This border village naturally did not escape the disaster, and corpses were everywhere.

With the Qingquan Mountains as the boundary and the valley as the center, the monks of the Sanqing Taoist Sect firmly kept the demons out and prevented them from invading Jiuming Prefecture at all.

It’s just that the Qingquan Mountains are very large, and occasionally there will be some fish that slip through the net and escape in and out, but at this time the demons’ attention is focused on the Yunzhou territory, and these sporadic fish that slip through the net will not cause any major disaster.

When Lingchu arrived here, his job was not only to set up the formation, but also to maintain order.

The demons want to carve out their own territory in Yunzhou, but they don't want to be trapped in Yunzhou, so they would occasionally allocate some of their forces to harass the borders.

The Qingquan Mountains are no exception.

Before the defense line was completed, Ling Chu was the one guarding the border line of Qingquan Mountains.

The residence in Qingquan Mountains was built temporarily, without towering walls or scattered houses.

They are just some monasteries that were casually set up by a group of monks.

Most of them look exactly like the quarters for low-level disciples in the sect, with a row of blue-brick, black-tiled and upturned-eaves houses.

A small number of them are more exquisite courtyards.

These are all portable magic tools produced by the sect's weapon refining hall. They are the size of a palm when not in use, and can be expanded or shrunk at will after being injected with spiritual power and thrown out. They can be said to be essential magic tools for cultivators when they travel or live in the wilderness.

Depending on the size of the temple, the strength of its defenses, its level of luxury, and the customization requirements, the materials needed and the requirements for the equipment refiner will also be different.

The disciple's residence is the simplest and cheapest one. The sect provides one for free to all disciples who are stationed away from the sect.

It has simple warning and defense functions.

The sect treats Nascent Soul cultivators like Lingchu equally and gives them a monastery, but the monastery is slightly larger and more exquisite than that of ordinary disciples.

Ling Chu did not go to receive it, because she had such a magical weapon in her own house, so she did not take advantage of the sect again.

After landing in the valley, Ling Chu picked a flat piece of land at random. With a wave of his sleeve, an exquisite courtyard appeared in front of him. Then a misty white fog slowly enveloped the courtyard, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside.
