Chapter 188: The first confrontation! An unexpected surprise, a huge harvest, so fat!
"Meow!"
The black cat let out a low whimper, and suddenly raised its curled up head and sat up from Li Changqing's arms.
After noticing the special reaction of the spirit pet in his arms, Li Changqing, who was originally strolling in the woods like a leisurely stroll in the garden and looking at the suddenly appeared mountain, paused slightly and looked at the black cat.
"But what did you find?"
The black cat ignored Li Changqing and continued to look around, sniffing its nose hard.
Seeing this, Li Changqing gently raised his arms, and the black cat jumped down to the ground and continued to sniff in all directions. Finally, after a while, the black cat suddenly stopped in a certain direction.
Almost at the moment when the black cat raised its head, Jiajing's heart skipped a beat in the distance, and he took Lu Fang with him to communicate with the Ming Dynasty and leave.
"Swish!" Just the next moment after Jiajing left, a terrifying spiritual sense came down with a bang, overlooking the place where he had been standing before.
Then, two black shadows appeared, they were Li Changqing and the black cat.
"Meow?" At this time, the black cat that lost its target suddenly raised its head, looked around blankly, and then glanced at Li Changqing innocently, as if to say, this is the place, why is it gone?
However, at this time, Li Changqing ignored all this, but slowly closed his eyes. His spiritual consciousness stretched out from his brows, and almost instantly covered the entire mountain.
Afterwards, the spiritual consciousness receded again like the tide.
At the same time, Jiajing and Lu Fang had returned to Daming and were standing in Yuxi Palace, looking at their destiny in front of them.
"Master, this person is..." Lu Fang has not yet recovered from the incident that just happened, but he understands what happened.
Because at this moment, at the place where they had just stood, there was a man and a cat, and the young man with a handsome face, elegant figure and temperament seemed to be looking for something.
Lu Fang knew without thinking that the other party must be looking for his master and himself.
"That black cat's cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage." Jiajing said slowly.
what? !
Hearing this, Lu Fang's body trembled violently. He looked at the ordinary-looking black cat standing at the young man's feet. His pupils contracted and his breathing became a little difficult at this moment.
Now that he has entered the ranks of immortals, he has become familiar with the various realms on the road to immortality. The difficulty of cultivation between each realm is multiplied layer by layer. The power gap between each realm is like a chasm.
He couldn't even imagine the Nascent Soul stage!
Of course, what surprised him most at this moment was that such a black cat with such terrifying cultivation was actually the pet of that handsome and elegant young man.
At this moment, he naturally understood what a spiritual pet was.
The spirit beast signs a master-servant contract with its owner, and then the spirit beast becomes a spirit pet.
"What is the cultivation level of this young man?" Lu Fang asked tentatively.
"The lowest should be the golden elixir. I don't know what specific level it is." Jiajing said and shook his head slightly.
Seeing the solemn expression on his master's face, Lu Fang fell silent and stopped asking questions. How could he not see that the relationship between his master and this young man should not be harmonious.
It is even possible that this person is the master's enemy in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Lv Fang, what do you think I should do to make this person interested in the mountain?" Jiajing looked at Li Changqing, who was standing in the mountain of his natal object in the world of cultivating immortals.
Hearing this, Lu Fang was silent for a moment. After organizing his words in his mind, he looked at Jiajing carefully and said, "Master, may I ask what is the background of this person?"
"It is equivalent to the status of the Ming Dynasty in this world." Jiajing said, turned his head and smiled at Lu Fang, then flicked his sleeves and went to the backyard, with his life just floating beside him.
It is equivalent to the status of the Ming Dynasty in this world! Hearing this, Lu Fang's eyes were shocked.
He knew very well what this meant.
What is the status of a Ming Dynasty that has just entered the era of cultivating immortals? If the Ming Dynasty wants, it can go to war with the world at any time.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty has not taken any action yet is simply because the time has not come yet. This is because the Ming Dynasty has just experienced a rebirth, its national strength is unprecedentedly strong and prosperous, and it has also completed a war of annihilation.
What the Ming Dynasty needed was to complete internal reforms before the third stage of land reform and the beginning of the fourth stage, break the old dynasty system that had existed since ancient times, and complete its transformation.
Only after that did the Ming Dynasty officially embark on the road of external expansion.
The power behind this young man in the world of immortal cultivation is actually equivalent to the status of the Ming Dynasty in the mortal world.
This is too horrible and unimaginable!
However, it is hard to imagine, but Lu Fang
"Huh," Lv Fang exhaled and said, "I think this kind of person must have no shortage of treasures, so there is no need for any unnecessary actions. We just need to make the mountain alive and carry out certain activities, and let him figure it out on his own."
"I remember that the Book of Changes says: 'The spirit has no direction and the Book of Changes has no body.'" Lu Fang said slowly and modestly, "So, the principle of hiding one's usefulness and showing one's benevolence is the same."
"Oh," Jiajing's face widened slightly when he heard this, "My dear servant, you are getting smarter and smarter as time goes by."
"Haha," Lv Fang said with a smile, "This little wisdom of yours is just a slap in the face of your master, it's nothing."
Jiajing didn't look at Lu Fang again. He felt something in his heart and began to control the mountain that he had sent into the world of immortal cultivation through his own life force.
"It seems that this mountain was deliberately lifted here by someone." Not finding the figures of Jiajing and Lu Fang, Li Changqing looked at the entire mountain and whispered to himself.
"But the spiritual energy contained in this mountain is pitifully thin. It must not have come from the depths of the Endless Mountains. Even in the entire cultivation world, it is difficult to find it..."
"Could it be that they were teleported from a dead star?" It must be said that Li Changqing's guess was indeed accurate, but he would never have thought that someone could be sent from another world, completely separated from the entire vast world of cultivation, across the boundary into a useless mountain.
"Could it be that other companies did it? What is their purpose?" Li Changqing looked into the distance and began to think.
"Boom, boom, boom." However, at this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook without warning, accompanied by bursts of roars, as if the entire earth was shaking.
"Meow!" The black cat let out a low cry and its body suddenly grew larger. Li Changqing jumped onto the black cat's back without hesitation, and then the black cat leaped suddenly and stood in the air.
"It's moving again?" Li Changqing's spiritual sense covered the entire mountain, so he could clearly find that the mountain, which was originally connected to the ground, was now showing a faint upward trend.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing snorted coldly, and his huge spiritual sense was like the sea water, instantly enveloping the entire mountain, piercing through the entire mountain, leaving no inch of land untouched.
Of course, at this moment, like Li Changqing, other independent cultivators who had reached the foundation-building stage and had the same idea also used the same method to begin to lock onto the entire mountain with their spiritual sense.
However, their search was doomed to be in vain, because Jiajing, who controlled the mountain, was not in the world of immortal cultivation at all.
At this moment, all the monks and ancient beasts who were still in the mountain were alarmed. The brave monks continued to stay where they were, while staring at their surroundings with full alertness to prevent any accidents.
Some timid monks fled the mountain as quickly as possible, fearing that something irreversible might happen.
"Boom!"
The mountain continued to rise, and in the blink of an eye it was a hundred meters above the ground.
At this time, cultivators who possessed flying magic tools, or wealthy independent cultivators who piloted flying shuttles, or independent cultivators who had reached the foundation-building stage and could fly with swords, all stood in mid-air.
Except for Li Changqing, who was used to big scenes and came from an extraordinary family, who just sat on the back of the black cat, frowned and looked at everything in front of him coldly, all the other cultivators had their eyes wide open, with shock on their faces.
At this time, looking from afar, you can clearly see that a huge mountain covering an area of 20 acres is suspended in the air, shrouded by the moonlight, flickering, like a legendary fairy mountain.
But the monks who knew that the interior of the mountain was just ordinary felt weird and uneasy at this moment.
This is a fear that comes from the unknown!
It was clearly a mountain that seemed to have been forcibly moved here by someone with great magical powers, but at this moment it strangely floated up by itself.
"Could it be that there is a powerful monk controlling this from behind?!" A monk saw this scene and immediately raised the question.
"If there really is a powerful monk controlling this, what is his purpose?"
"Is it to perform in front of me?"
"If there is no powerful monk controlling it, then could it be that this strange mountain has risen into the air on its own?"
"Could it be that this mountain is actually some kind of rare treasure from the world of immortal cultivation, and we haven't actually seen what it is?"
For a moment, all the cultivators were talking about it, but at this time only Li Changqing knew that there was no one controlling this mountain. If there was, he would not have been unaware of it.
What some people are speculating here is indeed true.
The truth is that the mountain before our eyes is floating on its own in deep space!
At this moment, even Li Changqing, who came from the Li family, one of the three branches in the academy, could not help but be surprised.
"Interesting!" Suddenly, Li Changqing smiled and looked at the mountain in front of him that had stopped rising into the air, with an interested look in his eyes!
He was bored to begin with, and when he heard that there was some unusual movement deep outside the Endless Mountains, he decided to go out for a walk to see what was going on, and also to see how these wandering cultivators competed for the so-called rare treasures, just to watch the fun.
If it were more than a hundred years ago, there were indeed several secret realms and ruins in this wilderness, and some treasures that would have attracted countless major clans to fight over even if they were placed in the Central Plains.
But in the past 120 years, with the launch of the war of development, all the valuable things had been plundered.
Based on his understanding of the academy, it was impossible for any valuable relics and treasures to be left behind.
Therefore, even if there are some missed relics or secret places that have not been discovered, they will most likely not attract my attention.
What he didn't expect was that a mountain that looked ordinary but was full of weirdness was something that even he couldn't see through. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
"I want to see what you are!" Even though he was interested in the mountain at this moment, Li Changqing still didn't care too much and just treated it as a fun thing.
The world of cultivating immortals is so vast that there are all kinds of strange things. However, no matter how strange a thing is, if it does not have a certain value, it is just a strange thing.
"Master, I can't see it anymore!" Lv Fang looked at Li Changqing who suddenly disappeared in the mountain and cried out. "That's because he left the mountain..." The mountain is the natal object. Jiajing can certainly see everything in the natal object through his natal object and control it, but if Li Changqing and others left the mountain and stood at the edge, beyond the observation range, they would naturally not be able to see it.
"But what's the harm?" Thinking of this, Jiajing's heart moved, and with a wave of his hand, the mountain began to collapse rapidly, and the whole mountain seemed to be melting.
As the mountain collapsed, smoke and dust suddenly rolled up and swept in all directions.
As his mind was opened up, Jiajing discovered so many wonderful uses of his natal objects!
Just as he had said before, even if it is a grain of sand, a blade of grass, or a handful of soil, as long as it falls from the natal object and sticks to it, it will be within the scope of his observation!
Sure enough, as the mountain collapsed, the air flowed, and the dust swept in all directions, it could be seen through my natal star, and my observation range also expanded.
As for the natal chart, the figures of a group of cultivators who had disappeared, including Li Changqing, reappeared.
"Master is wise!" Upon seeing this, Lu Fang immediately started to flatter him.
However, at this moment, Jiajing had no time to pay attention to these things. He used his innate power to control all the birds in the mountain, carrying the dust and vegetation away from the mountain.
From now on, these dust and vegetation will drift towards the entire wilderness, and it is not impossible that they will even fall towards the entire world of immortal cultivation.
But at this moment, Jiajing wanted to attract Li Changqing's attention. If possible, he hoped that Li Changqing could take this piece of mountain away. It would be even better if he could take it to the academy, or to the Li family's land!
Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will get involved in the world of immortal cultivation.
At that time, the first enemy the Ming Dynasty had to face was the academy.
If this can be arranged in advance, it would be like a hidden chess piece planted in the heart of the enemy!
Thinking of this, after the arrangements of the birds in the mountain and the independent cultivators who entered were almost the same, Jiajing had an idea and used his innate power to directly deform the entire collapsed mountain.
Then, the originally melted mountain turned into a plain with a perfect length-to-width ratio. The magical thing was that the flowers, plants and trees on it were still standing intact, and many wild animals scattered in panic.
All the monks saw that a mountain that originally covered an area of 20 acres had turned into a plain in front of them, the length and width of which seemed to have been carefully cut by someone.
For a moment, everyone was shocked by this scene.
However, this is not the end. After a while, the plain began to stretch and expand, and finally became thinner and longer, like a blanket spread out in mid-air.
Then I saw that the blanket began to curl up from both ends, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a scroll like a picture scroll.
At this moment, everyone was stunned by this scene.
I don’t understand what this strange mountain is intended for.
"Could it be that this mountain itself is a rare treasure with consciousness?!" Suddenly, some monk came up with an imaginative idea and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even Li Changqing, who had been observing with his spiritual sense, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
"Living creature?" Li Changqing looked at the mountain that had turned into a scroll and seemed to have no intention of stopping. Then, his mind moved, and his spiritual sense suddenly spread out, directly blocking the surroundings.
"Buzz!" The next moment, space fluctuations were heard. Li Changqing's eyes suddenly focused, and he thought to himself, "Not good!"
Then he was about to use his spiritual sense to imprison the mountain, but in the end he was one step too late.
A huge spatial fluctuation was heard, and then the mountain suddenly disappeared!
Disappeared?!
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
Brother Li Changqing immediately spread out his spiritual sense in all directions.
However, after a moment, Li Changqing's expression turned gloomy.
Because he found that even with his own level of cultivation, when he fully extended his spiritual awareness, he still gained nothing. That piece of mountain seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"What is this?!" Suddenly at this moment, a casual cultivator who had reached the Qi training stage not far away let out a terrified scream, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The middle-aged man sitting on a gourd-shaped flying magical instrument looked at the large amount of mud that suddenly gushed out of his body in horror, and then he took off his robe in horror, trying to throw it away.
However, the next moment, mud began to flow out of his nostrils and ears, and the others felt their scalps tingling when they saw this.
"Ah!!!" Suddenly at this moment, someone let out a terrified roar, and soon after, mud began to flow out of the clothes, nostrils, ears, and hair of everyone present.
The soil continued to flow out and then gathered somewhere in the middle.
Li Changqing, who was not far away, saw this scene, and then seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly threw out a "cleansing talisman" in his hand, and the next moment he was swept by a breeze.
Li Changqing's spiritual sense penetrated into it, enveloping a handful of fine, imperceptible dust in the breeze. The black cat under him was surrounded by spiritual energy, and all the dust was blown away.
At this moment, Li Changqing was carefully observing the dust wrapped in his spiritual consciousness, and saw that dust was seeping out continuously.
"It's the dust from just now. As long as the body is touched by the dust, it will take advantage of it. Immediately use the 'Cleaning Talisman' to clean your body and blow away the dust!" At this time, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was not far from Li Changqing saw this scene and immediately gave a loud reminder.
Hearing this, the originally panicked monks began to use the "cleansing talisman" to cleanse their bodies.
Sure enough, as the bodies were cleaned, the dust was blown away, and the mud that kept coming out of everyone's bodies suddenly disappeared.
There were a few brave cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage who wrapped that handful of soil with their spiritual sense and quietly watched the soil that seemed to be growing under the spiritual sense.
"It's really a living creature!" At this time, other people also saw it all.
Many casual cultivators were excited at this moment, looking at the dust in their hands that seemed harmless but seemed to have its own consciousness, their eyes were full of greed.
At this moment they can be sure that the mountain itself is some kind of rare treasure. No matter what it is, such a magical thing, if it is taken to some big city for immortal cultivation to be auctioned, there will always be someone who is interested in it, and it will definitely be sold at a good price!
However, what they didn't know was that the soil that flowed out of the mountain was just the soil that Jiajing used the flying birds to move the mountain first, and then flowed out little by little.
Doing so much is nothing more than attracting Li Changqing's attention.
At this moment, through his destiny, Jiajing was almost face to face with Li Changqing, and he could clearly see the curiosity in Li Changqing's eyes. At this moment, Jiajing knew that he had succeeded.
"It's time to close the net!" Thinking of this, Jiajing directly moved the entire mountain to where Li Changqing and others were.
Then use your own power to control it and restore it to its original appearance.
Looking at the reappearing mountain, the monks no longer had the fear they had before in their eyes, but were instead filled with surprise and greed.
"This mountain is alive, catch it!"
A casual cultivator who had reached the initial stage of foundation building roared and rushed forward directly.
For a moment, the others seemed to have received some kind of signal and rushed towards the mountain floating in the air.
"Meow!" However, just as everyone rushed towards the mountain, a low cat's cry suddenly sounded, and then all the cultivators felt a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly coming from above their heads.
Several of the most powerful cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage vomited blood on the spot and fell from the sky.
The other cultivators in the Qi training stage were not much better off. They only felt a terrifying divine sense sweeping over them, and then the flying magic weapons under them lost control and fell to the ground.
"Dong, dong, dong..." Then everyone saw a huge black cat, carrying a young man in white clothes and with an elegant temperament, walking in the air and going towards the mountain step by step.
"I had the honor of seeing this kind of pressure once on a Nascent Soul cultivator. It's exactly the same!" A Foundation Establishment cultivator wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at Li Changqing above the sky and said in a deep voice.
"Who is this Yuanying-stage spirit pet? Could he be someone who is in charge of the academy in Sifang City?"
"It seems that this strange mountain has an owner today!"
When a group of casual cultivators saw this scene, they could only look at Li Changqing who was already standing at the edge of the mountain and sigh helplessly.
A spiritual pet in the Nascent Soul stage is not only a sign of its cultivation level, but also a symbol of its extraordinary background!
In the world of cultivating immortals, wealthy cultivators play with flying shuttles, all kinds of limited edition, specially made, luxurious flying shuttles made by various famous artists, and even some kind of palace.
But the truly powerful cultivators, such as some of the great sects in the Central Plains that have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, do not play with these things, such as the Nascent Soul stage spirit pet above their heads.
At the Nascent Soul stage, even in a large clan with thousands of years of inheritance, no one would be so extravagant as to use it as a mount or a spiritual pet.
In the southeastern part of the wilderness, apart from the people in the academy, there is also the evil cultivator who has been causing a lot of trouble recently and is hunting for his own destiny.
The latter had long been wanted by the academy, and would definitely not dare to show up so blatantly. Therefore, Li Changqing's identity and origins were basically revealed.
Li Changqing ignored the gazes of the people below and looked at the mountain floating quietly in front of him. He waved his hand, and a ring appeared on his index finger. Then the mountain disappeared in full view of everyone.
"Let's go." After collecting the mountain, Li Changqing patted the black cat's head. As the whimpering sounded, the black cat turned into a black shadow and rushed into the distance, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
At the same time, in Daming, Jiajing in Yuxi Palace suddenly laughed.
His mind moved, and then under Lu Fang's puzzled gaze, the space began to fluctuate, and suddenly a small mountain of treasures, skills, elixirs, and spirit-vein-sealing scrolls appeared above the hall, piled up to two meters high!
"Master, what is this?!" Lu Fang looked at the treasure mountain in front of him in surprise and his eyes suddenly widened.
“Hahahaha…” However, at this moment, Jiajing suddenly burst into laughter, “What a pleasant surprise, what a pleasant surprise!”
Yes, this is indeed a pleasant surprise!
He didn't expect that he would go to so much trouble. He originally just wanted to use the special characteristics of the mountain to attract Li Changqing's attention, and then bring the mountain to the Li family or the academy through him.
This is to achieve the purpose of planting a "back door" in the academy.
Unexpectedly, Li Changqing actually put the mountain directly into his storage ring.
Then, Jiajing would naturally not be polite!
Looking at the various space scrolls piled up like a small mountain, including the spirit vein sealing scroll that Liu Quan had given him before, even Jiajing couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy in his heart.
I didn’t expect that the first official confrontation with Li Changqing would yield such great gains!
This time, the Ming Dynasty has become extremely wealthy again!
"..."
