Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 90: Running Away Again
"To be honest, I do know a relatively safe place."

Ning Jie said slowly: "That is a hidden spiritual land. Although there are no spiritual veins, there is a spiritual spring hidden there, which is enough for us to cultivate."

Ji Chang's heart moved when he heard this.

He looked at Ning Jie, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

Ji Chang thought for a moment, then asked, "Oh? There is such a good place? Please tell me in detail, Brother Ning."

Ji Chang paused, his tone a little cautious: "Also, I'm very curious, why did Fellow Daoist Ning tell me such important information?"

Hearing this, Ning Jie smiled lightly and began to explain.

"Friend Han, you are worrying too much. The reason I told you this secret is firstly because we have known each other for many years and we know each other very well. I believe in your character and ability."

Ning Jie paused and continued, "Secondly, Fellow Daoist Han, your alchemy skills are extremely superb and you are able to refine high-quality mid-grade elixirs."

"If you can lend me a helping hand and provide me with some medicinal pills to help me practice, then we can each get what we need and benefit each other."

After hearing this, Ji Chang pondered in his heart.

If what Ning Jie said was true, this was indeed a rare opportunity.

Just as she said, Ning Jie valued her alchemy skills and wanted me to be her alchemy tool to make pills for her.

In addition, on the surface, his cultivation level was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was not far from Ning Jie's strength.

And there was obviously a formation in that spiritual place. Perhaps Ning Jie thought that with the power of the formation, she could check and even suppress Ji Chang.

However, under the current circumstances, it is better to agree to it than to hide among the mortal world and waste several years.

He really had no better choice.

Moreover, his actual cultivation level was the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even if Ning Jie had the advantage of terrain and formation, if she turned against him, he had enough confidence to deal with it.

More importantly, if the quality of the spiritual spring is excellent, he can completely rely on this spiritual land to try to build his foundation after setting up a top-grade spirit gathering formation.

Even if there is no spiritual vein, as long as the spiritual environment reaches the second level, it can also meet the needs of foundation building.

Although he had made up his mind, Ji Chang was not in a hurry to express it.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Ning Jie, "Besides the two of us, are there other monks going with us?"

Ning Jie shook her head slightly and explained, "The spiritual spring is not as good as the spiritual vein. The spiritual energy it contains is limited. At most, it can only support the cultivation needs of a few people."

"What's more, I don't know many cultivators in this Cangyu Market, and there are even fewer who I can trust."

Ji Chang thought about it again, then nodded and agreed.

"That's great, let's get going as soon as possible."

"The Chen family is preparing to blockade Cangyu Market. We'd better leave quickly."

There was a hint of urgency in Ning Jie's tone.

Ji Chang nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll pack my things, and we'll meet at the west gate of the market town in two hours."

He got up and left Ning Jie's house, walking towards his own residence.

Two hours later, the Cangyu market town at dusk was dyed with a layer of golden glow by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Ji Chang and Ning Jie met at the west gate on time according to the agreed time and place.

After chatting for a few words, they turned into two beams of light, soared into the sky, and disappeared above Cangyufang City.

……

Ning Jie was leading the way, and she was controlling a mysterious magical weapon that looked like a formation plate.

The array patterns and restrictions on this magic weapon appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if ready to be deployed into a powerful spiritual array at any time to resist any sudden enemy attack. Ji Changze followed closely behind Ning Jie, urging the power of his wind-controlling boots to ride the wind.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, turned into two bright rays of light, cutting through the sky and flying straight into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery kept changing.

The once prosperous mortal city has disappeared, replaced by endless mountains with peaks and ridges before our eyes.

And the forest that was so dense that it almost blocked out the sun.

Ji Chang became alert. Although every few years, the major immortal cultivation families in Jiaozhou would jointly hold a monster hunting conference to clear out the monsters outside the Shiwan Mountains.

This means that the number of monsters in the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains has probably recovered to a considerable scale.

Although both of them can fly, they can easily avoid those ground monsters that have no flying ability.

However, if you are attacked by a flying monster in the air, the situation will become quite tricky.

As Qi Refining cultivators, they rely too much on magical instruments to fly, and once they encounter a battle in the air, they will easily fall into a disadvantage.

Only those Foundation Establishment cultivators who can travel through the air by relying on their own magic power and spiritual awareness can have an absolute advantage in aerial combat.

Therefore, they must always remain highly vigilant to prevent any unexpected events.

Sure enough, when he went less than a hundred miles deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, Ji Chang could occasionally see traces of first-level monsters.

Fortunately, they were not flying monsters and did not pose a threat to Ji Chang and the others.

But not long after, Ji Chang and his companion encountered a hunting team consisting of four monks.

The cultivation levels of these four men were all in the middle stage of Qi Refining. They seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle and had obvious scars on their bodies.

The moment their eyes met Ji Chang and Ning Jie's, a hint of vigilance and hostility flashed in their eyes.

However, perhaps because of their serious injuries, they did not choose to make enemies with Ji Chang and the others. Instead, they took a quick glance and quickly left the scene.

Faced with this situation, Ji Chang did not dare to take it lightly at all.

He knew very well that in such a dangerous environment, monster hunters would often work part-time as robbers, and would do anything to survive and gain profit.

Therefore, he always remains highly vigilant and is ready to deal with any unexpected situations that may occur.

After the two of them had gone three hundred miles deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, Ning Jie suddenly slowed down.

She looked around solemnly, as if searching for some important mark or clue.

Ji Chang followed closely behind, slowed down, and stopped steadily behind Ning Jie.

At this moment, a look of joy that was hard to conceal suddenly blossomed on Ning Jie's pretty face.

She turned around and smiled at Ji Chang.

"Friend Han, we are finally here."

Hearing this, Ji Chang's heart moved.

After taking a quick look at the surroundings, I found myself standing near a slightly steep hill.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special here, but after careful sensing, he could feel a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.

The next moment, Ning Jie mobilized the magic power in her body and cast several special magic seals.

Immediately afterwards, the restrictions that were originally hidden in the void suddenly emerged, flashing with faint light.

These restrictions are intertwined together to form an intricate array barrier.
