Ning Zhuo raised his head and glanced at Wuyin Mountain, which towered between heaven and earth, and then at Sun Lingtong. Seeing the latter's indifferent attitude, he nodded to the village patrol: "Then I'm sorry."

Although he has a golden elixir-level combat power, the incident in the Lava Immortal Palace has not been over for too long, and the various lessons taught to him are still vivid in his mind.

Ning Zhuo is cautious by nature.

Since others have said that there are dangers in the mountains at night, then he just goes with the flow and spends the night in a mountain village, so what's the harm?

"Two distinguished guests, please come this way." The man on patrol showed a smile and took the initiative to lead the way.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong followed him into the village.

Soon after, they met the village elders.

The village elder arranged the two of them in two guest rooms in the center of the mountain village. Ning Zhuo took 20 spiritual stones to use as housing expenses, and asked the village elder to have tea at night and talk about Wuyin Mountain.

The village elder accepted it naturally.

This is what it should be.

The man who was on patrol before changed his mind and invited Sun Ning and Sun Ning to stay in the village when he saw Ning Zhuo proactively giving him a spiritual stone as a reward for asking for directions.

"Two distinguished guests, this is Wuyin tea unique to Wuyin Mountain. Although it cannot be compared with famous tea, it is also unique." The village elder took the initiative to greet.

Ning Zhuo picked up the tea cup and saw that the tea leaves were dark green, but there was a layer of grayish-white tea leaves on the surface.

A stream of mist emerged from the surface of the tea, curling up and down.

When entering the mouth, the tea soup is bitter at first, lingering on the tip of the tongue like a thick fog in the mountains. However, this bitterness is fleeting, leaving behind a long sweet aftertaste, like the tranquility and refreshing feeling in the mountains after the fog dissipates.

"It's a school of its own, not bad." Ning Zhuo lightly praised him.

On the other side, Sun Lingtong did not move his mouth.

On the one hand, he has never had any elegant interest in drinking tea. For him, drinking tea only has the function of quenching thirst.

On the other hand, if Ning Zhuo drank, he would not drink. After all, he was walking outside. This was one of the small tacit understandings between him and Ning Zhuo.

The three of them drank tea and communicated.

Sun Ning and the two gradually gained a rough understanding of Wuyin Mountain Village.

There are about 300 households in this mountain village, with about 1,500 people. The highest level of cultivation in the village is the foundation building stage, which is the cultivation level of the contemporary village chief in the later stage of foundation building. There are six village elders, and they all have foundation building at their peak.

Cultivation. Some people were seriously injured, and in their later years, their cultivation fell to the Qi refining stage. However, due to their qualifications and achievements, the villagers also respected him.

Speaking of the village chief, Sun Lingtong asked him where he was.

Logically speaking, Sun Ning and the two are foundation-building monks, and their cultivation is enough to be welcomed by the village chief.

But so far, the village chief has not appeared.

The village elder told the two of them: The village chief organized a group of people to deliver food.

It turns out that there is a Yugang Mountain eight hundred miles away from Wuyin Mountain.

This mountain is rich in jade-rich black steel. The Nandou Kingdom opened a mine here and guarded it heavily. Over time, a mountain town developed.

Over the years, the number of people in the mountain town has increased, but Yugang Mountain itself is barren and cannot be self-sufficient.

The official of Nandou Kingdom issued an order to send people and supplies from the surrounding mountain villages, allocate excess supplies, and continuously deliver them to the town of Yugang Mountain.

Mountain villages are willing to do it.

This is because if the materials are sent to Yugang Town, they can be exchanged for a large amount of money and goods there. It is not a big profit, but in addition to making a small profit, it can also satisfy the development of the mountain village itself, which is the best of both worlds.

Something happened.

As the night grew darker, Ning Zhuo took the initiative to stop the tea chat.

After the village elder said goodbye, he and Sun Lingtong disappeared together, jumped over the wall, and explored the village at night.

There were also patrol officers near his residence.

But how could a villager in the mountains find out about Sun Ning and the two of them? Sun Lingtong was from a wealthy family and was best at stealing. Ning Zhuo was pregnant with clouds and hidden buds, and even the golden elixir level could hide such exotic flowers and herbs.

It is no problem to pass these patrolling villagers.

Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo stood side by side, constantly jumping on the roof of the village house.

The cool night breeze blew against his face, and Sun Lingtong said: "Hehehe, it feels so good! Xiaozhuo, this is the taste of freedom!"

He had long been tired of staying in the Lava Fairy Palace. If he hadn't been worried about his master in the early stage and Ning Zhuo later, according to his personality, he would have left and wandered around in the world.

Ning Zhuo also smiled.

He has been in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City since he was born, and for the past fourteen years, he has been working hard to obtain the Lava Immortal Palace.

At this moment, the matter of the Immortal Palace came to an end for the time being. He also temporarily put down the huge stone in his heart and the heavy burden on his shoulders. He felt quite happy as he shuttled freely in the breeze at night.

The two found a high position and stopped instantly.

Sun Lingtong sent a message: "Xiao Zhuo, let's have a test. How about spiritual detection? We won't take advantage of you, and we will suppress our cultivation to the early stage of foundation building."

Ning Zhuo: "Boss, since you are so elegant, I will not let you down, little brother."

"Hehehe." Sun Lingtong laughed a few times and immediately spread out his consciousness.

Ten feet, thirty feet, sixty feet...

His consciousness continued to expand until it reached two hundred and sixty feet, and then it stopped.

His consciousness covered more than half of the village. After quietly investigating for a moment, he immediately withdrew his consciousness.

The speed with which he withdrew his consciousness was astonishingly fast, and it took him only three breaths to withdraw it all.

What's more important is that the entire process of dispersing and recovering spiritual consciousness was effortless and well hidden. Even if Ning Zhuo was right next to Sun Lingtong, he couldn't feel any fluctuations at all.

It's Ning Zhuo's turn.

He slowly spread his consciousness.

Ten feet, twenty feet, forty feet...

When the consciousness expanded to one hundred and eighty feet, it was powerless and had to stop.

Divine consciousness covers a little more than half of the mountain village.

Many villagers were unguarded and unaware, allowing Ning Zhuo to see various furnishings in the house and the villagers' night activities.

He found that many villagers worshiped mountain gods in their homes. Eighty percent of the mountain god's tablets, portraits or small ancestral halls were dedicated to fox gods. Only 20% had tiger gods. And among these two percent, most of them had fox gods.

In other words, the Tiger God, as the main god, is incidental.

Ning Zhuo cautiously put away his consciousness.

When he released his spiritual consciousness, it was several times slower than Sun Lingtong's. When he retracted it, his speed was even slower, dozens of times slower than Sun Lingtong's.

Sun Lingtong had been watching Ning Zhuo's performance and frowned slightly at this moment.

"Xiao Zhuo, although you and I have different levels of cultivation, but after cultivating the Shenhai Dantian in the three sects, the range of our spiritual consciousness is only 180 feet?"

"You shouldn't hide your shame in front of me, right?"

Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head: "Boss, this is my full strength."

Sun Lingtong was confused: "It shouldn't be. One hundred and fifty feet is the average level for foundation-building monks, but the Mirror Stage Channeling Technique is only one hundred and eighty feet? This doesn't make sense."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and took the initiative to answer the question: "Boss, you don't know this. The advantages of the Mirror Channeling Technique need to be paired with external objects to be revealed."

"According to the content of the bell transmission method, I need to refine the storyboard. Each storyboard can project my consciousness farther away. The material and grade of the storyboard are different, and the projection effect is also different."

"If I really have enough storyboards, I can cover the entire Kirigakure Mountain. However, the consciousness after being projected multiple times by the storyboards is very weak, and the perception will become very blurry."

Sun Lingtong frowned: "So that's it."

Only then did he feel relieved.

In the competition just now, he just wanted to use this excuse to help Ning Zhuo master his spiritual consciousness better. After all, Ning Zhuo had just been promoted to the foundation building stage, and his Sun Lingtong was already in the late stage of foundation building.

Qi refining monks have mastery of spiritual thoughts, but they cannot use their own spiritual thoughts to conduct out-of-body reconnaissance. Even when reading a jade slip, the jade slip must be placed between the eyebrows.

When it comes to the foundation building stage, spiritual thoughts can be condensed and sublimated to form divine consciousness. The out-of-body reconnaissance of spiritual consciousness, in the early stage of foundation building, is generally within a range of 150 feet away from the body.

For monks who specialize in the Dantian of the Divine Sea, by the time they reach the foundation building stage, the distance between their spiritual consciousness will exceed one hundred and fifty feet. The more excellent the technique, the further the distance will be.

Sun Lingtong suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, and the distance between his spiritual consciousness was as high as 260 feet. The Mirror Stage Channeling Technique came from the masters of the three sects, and it was only 180 feet. This number was much smaller than Sun Lingtong's expectation.

After Ning Zhuo's explanation, he was relieved.

The Mirror Channeling Technique is different from other techniques. It needs to be paired with external objects to truly bring out the advantages of the technique.

Since the development of the world of cultivation, countless wonderful techniques have been produced. Some techniques can make the spiritual consciousness become ethereal, some can make the spiritual consciousness extremely sharp, and some can even develop the spiritual consciousness and use it as a means of attack.

The spiritual consciousness of Mirror Stage Channeling Technique must be matched with external objects. Although it is a bit strange, it also conforms to the purpose of the Three Sect Masters - after all, it is an institution inheritance. The use of external objects is the characteristic of the Three Sect Masters.

After the reconnaissance, the two quietly returned to the guest room.

None of the villagers noticed.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong were each lying on the bed, using their spiritual thoughts to penetrate the wall, transmitting sounds to each other, and secretly communicating their investigation results.

When the two talked about the number of tablets of the Tiger God and the Fox God, Sun Lingtong guessed: "The Tiger God and the Fox God have been canonized as righteous gods by the Nandou Kingdom. Enjoying the incense enshrined can greatly increase their own strength."

"It's just that the Tiger God is too weak. It's unreasonable to allow the Fox God to take advantage of the incense, but he remains indifferent."

"Don't you be ignored by the Fox God?"

Today's world of cultivation is governed by both humans and gods.

The human race is the main body, and the gods are scattered around the world.

After a cultivation country is established, it often cuts down mountains and destroys temples within the country to suppress various gods. Some gods are unyielding and are often killed and disintegrated. Some gods surrender and are canonized as righteous gods and receive salary and salary from the cultivation court.

Drive.

A country of cultivation itself needs these gods to improve the country's dominance.

Compared with humans, various gods are often simple-minded and can endure extreme environments. They can also use their divine power to move clouds, spread rain, and divert water to open mountains.

After the gods join the country of cultivation, they can absorb incense widely, communicate with the outside world, and can practice cultivation with the help of the luck of the country.

This is a relationship of mutual need and win-win cooperation.
