As Wang Zirong expected, Lu Qian and the two practiced in the Milk of the Earth Spirit for a day, and the last trace of true energy accumulated in their bodies was completely transformed into true spiritual energy.

Although, in his future cultivation, he still has to practice his true energy first and then transform it.

However, now that all the accumulated true energy in the body has been transformed, the subsequent cultivation path will be much smoother.

Lu Qian stood at the head of the ghost sailboat, facing the wind.

In the body, a trace of true spirit energy arises from the Dantian, passes through the Mingmen, Shinto, Fengfu, and along the Du Meridian to the Niwan Palace; then flows back to the Dantian through the Ren Meridian through Yintang, Tanzhong, and Shenque.

After completing a long week, Lu Qian immediately felt warm all over his body and a very comfortable feeling in his limbs.

His current cultivation level has reached the state where Qi is moved by the mind, wherever the heart goes, and where Qi returns.

Moreover, he practices every day, and while the true spirit energy cleanses the meridians, it will also feed back into the physical body.

Even when he is not exercising his skills, the true spirit energy in his body will slowly transform his physical body.

Is this what Taoists call "building a foundation"?

……

Passing through Langya Ridge, which is lined with hundreds of peaks, and continuing to fly north for about twenty miles, a deep stream suddenly appeared in front of us.

In the deep stream, there is a small stream, flowing from top to bottom.

The creek jumps into the gorge.

Although this mountain stream is deep, it is not narrow.When the stream reached the lower reaches, it suddenly widened and the water flow became gentle.

Beside the stream, there is a fenced yard.

There are only two simple thatched cottages in the yard.And further in, there is a cave close to the cliff.

Here is the Xitiao Gorge refuge.

Outside the gate of the fenced yard, a group of "people" gathered in the open space by the stream.

There is also a U-Peng boat parked on the shore.

The awning boat was anchored steadily on the rapid stream, with a sampan attached to the river bank.

A dozen or so ghost-like figures, carrying goods on their shoulders or pushing wheelbarrows, were carrying goods from the courtyard to the Upeng boat.

Beside the Wupeng boat, there were three people standing on the shore.

Guo Tuan, Luo Runbao, Linglong.

Lu Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this scene from the air.Unexpectedly, such a deep stream can actually be used for boating.

He put away the ghost sail, held Wang Zirong in one hand, and led everyone down from the air.

"Master—"

Seeing Lu Qian and others arriving, Guo Tuan and Runbao said hello at the same time.

Linglong looked at Lu Qian with a smile on her face.

Lu Qian took a few steps forward and came to the front of the three people. He looked at the busy simple "pier" and smiled at Linglong: "It looks like Miss Linglong has gained a lot this time."

Linglong pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Hey, so-so, just making ends meet. Master, please wait a moment, the move will be finished soon."

Runbao took two steps forward and said to Lu Qian: "Ms. sir, Linglong said that we can go down this stream and go straight to Wuqin grassland. Let's go by boat with Linglong?"

Lu Qian said: "The guests are welcome to do as they please. Miss Linglong has made arrangements, so we can just follow."

"Ah."

Not long after, after loading the goods, everyone began to board the ship.

Although this black-paneled boat is far less big than Lu Qian's Ghost Sail, it is actually not too small. It can easily hold a dozen people on it.

The boat is on the water, but the creek under our feet seems very narrow.

Although the stream is narrow, the water is not shallow, so there is no risk that the boat will run aground.

This boat had no sails, no one was rowing, and there was no movement from Linglong. After everyone got on the boat, the boat actually moved forward on its own.

Lu Qian used his mental power to take a look and saw a group of water ghosts under the bottom of the boat, pushing the boat along.

Well, Linglong's ship, like his ghost sail, is powered by ghost power.

The boat moved along the stream and went down the river. With the group of ghosts pushing it, the boat went very fast.

The night was dark, and mountains stood tall on both sides of the river.From time to time in the mountains far and near, there was a strange cry.

There were obviously a lot of ghosts here, but as they walked this way, it was very quiet, and not a single ghost came to make noises.

Lone Wolf Ridge, which is extremely dangerous for humans, is like walking through your own back garden.

Ahead, a beach suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, I saw two little ghosts carrying burdens, standing on the shore waiting.

The ship came close and stopped at the shore.The two little ghosts carried heavy burdens, boarded the ship, and got into the wupeng.

Then they never came out.

After the kid boarded the boat, the Upeng boat continued to move forward.

As we walked and stopped along the way, small and large streams from various places in Lone Wolf Ridge merged into the north-oriented river, and the river surface became wider and wider.

At dawn, when the sky gradually brightened and the sun had not yet reached the earth, a row of towering mountains suddenly appeared in front of us.

This row of mountains is like a towering city wall, surrounding Lone Wolf Ridge.

In the middle of the mountain, it was like being struck by a sharp ax, splitting a gap in the mountain.

The gap formed a gorge through which the river passed through the mountain.

After the boat came out of the canyon, there was a sudden drop in front, and the Wu Peng boat suddenly fell down along the fast river water.

Fortunately, the drop in the river is not big, only one or two feet high.

With the first light of the morning sun, looking around, there is an endless flat land in front of me. Only the outline of some mountains can be vaguely seen as far as the eye can see.

But it seems that these mountains are not very high.

At this point, the river suddenly became more than three or four times wider, as if it was no longer a small river.

The banks of the low river were covered with green grass.

In the distance, early-rising sheep and deer can be vaguely seen grazing on the grassland.

Here is Wuqin Grassland.

Soon after, the sun rose from the east, shining with thousands of rays of light, giving the prairie a mottled color.

Except for Lu Qian and Linglong, this was the first time for everyone to see the grassland.Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of me, I was stunned for a while.

This Wuqin grassland looks fertile and beautiful, and it doesn't seem to be as scary as the legend says.

At this time, the ghost driving the boat had already disappeared, and the Wu Peng boat went down the river, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

However, Linglong didn't seem to be in a hurry and just let the boat flow slowly along the river.

After walking for a while, a road suddenly appeared on the grassland ahead on the left.

Lu Qian couldn't help but be startled when he saw this road.

It’s not that no one will come to Wuqin Grassland, so how can there be a road?
On the other hand, since there is a road, no one will take it.

After about two hours of sailing, a bend appeared in front of us, where the river turned to the right.

The main road on the grassland on the left intersects with the river bend here.

Where water and land meet, a small house appears.

Next to the small house, there is an extremely simple pier.If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see the short and low trestle on the pier.

Linglong parked the boat at the pier and jumped ashore.Seeing this, Lu Qian and others also jumped up.

After landing on the shore, Linglong strode forward, and after walking a dozen or so steps, she suddenly crouched down, then bent down, and actually opened up a long piece of turf on the river bank.

Lu Qian took a look and saw that there were neat rows of coffins covered under the turf.

There are seven coffins in total. They are all dark and look very old. They have obviously been buried underground for many years.

However, these coffins were made of excellent material and showed no signs of decay.

What surprised Lu Qian the most was that the last coffin was extremely large, more than three times larger than ordinary coffins.After Linglong lifted up the turf, she tapped the coffin lightly with her fingers and said, "Get up and work."

After saying that, she stepped back.

Just when everyone was wondering, they suddenly heard a "bang bang" sound. The coffin boards of seven coffins were pushed away from the inside, and six zombies stood up straight from the coffins.

And what stood up in the last coffin was actually a horse.

This horse had obviously been dead for a long time. There were large patches of corpses and mutilated flesh all over its body. Even one of its eyes had rotted away, leaving only a hole as big as a fist.

The remaining six zombies are still in good condition. Although they can be seen as zombies at a glance, their bodies are still intact.

The zombies and zombie horses crawled out of the coffin, then they closed the lid of the coffin themselves, then laid the turf, and everything returned to normal.

If someone is not an insider, it would be difficult for others to find any clues if they look here from a distance.

After the sod was laid, these zombies immediately became busy without Linglong's instructions.

Five of the zombies boarded the boat to carry their luggage, while the remaining one walked towards the cabin.

After it got into the wooden house, when it came out soon, it was pulling a two-wheeled carriage.

Then, the zombie set up the carriage very skillfully, and the other five zombies unloaded the goods from the boat and started loading the carriage.

The zombies looked clumsy, but they moved very quickly. Soon they had moved all the cargo from the cabin and stuffed it into a full cart.

After that, two more zombies got into the water and sank the boat to the bottom of the river.

Lu Qian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't realize that Miss Linglong is still a frugal person."

Linglong curled her lips and said, "Of course, how can you live your life if you don't live frugally?"

After saying that, Linglong walked to the carriage and said to Lu Qian: "Let's go, the new owner of Linglong Inn?"

Lu Qian stretched out his hand and said, "Lady boss, please go first."

After hearing this, Linglong chuckled and sat down on the carriage.

Lu Qian and Wang Zirong also sat on it.

One zombie drives the car, while the rest of the zombies and armored generals have to walk.

However, none of them, including the zombie horses, are normal people.As soon as the carriage started, it immediately started running quickly on the grassland.

Apart from them, there was no one else in the vast and flat grassland.

The zombie horse is tireless and gallops all the way without stopping at all.

After walking for a long time, around the time of lunch, five rays of glow suddenly appeared in the distance where the sky and the earth meet.

Five rays of rays of light rose into the sky, which were extremely dazzling.

Lu Qian saw it and looked up, only to see that the five rays of light turned out to be five high mountains.

Five high mountains are connected and arranged in a neat row, emitting light in five colors of green, red, blue, purple and green.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a colorful screen has been erected on the edge of the grassland.

Seeing this surprising scene, Lu Qian couldn't help but be startled and asked, "What is this?"

After hearing Lu Qian's words, Linglong's face looked even stranger than him.

She looked at Lu Qian for a while and asked in surprise: "You guys came to the grassland with me, aren't you here for the Five Color Mountains?"

"Five Color Mountain?"

Lu Qian listened and looked at Guo Tuan.

If there is anyone among the people who might know the "Five Color Mountain" mentioned by Linglong, then it is only Guo Tui.

Sure enough, when he heard the name "Five Color Mountain", Guo Tuo's expression suddenly changed and he was surprised: "It is said that there is a Five Color Sacred Mountain on the grassland. Is this rumor true?"

Linglong's eyes swept over the faces of the brides one by one, and when she saw that they all looked confused, her expression became even weirder.

After sweeping her gaze around, Linglong finally looked at Lu Qian and asked with a weird look on her face: "You don't know about Five Color Mountain?
Are you really coming to the grassland to open a joint store with me?
Are you too busy? "

Lu Qian couldn't help but be startled when he heard her series of questions.

It seems there was a misunderstanding.

After Linglong finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Qian with a suspicious expression, and suddenly asked alertly: "Looking at the evil look on your face, you are not attracted to my unrivaled beauty, are you?"

The most beautiful and exquisite sister?
Lu Qian rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Which of your eyes has seen my 'evil in lust' appearance?"

Lu Qian ignored Linglong and turned his attention to Guo Tuan.

It seems that they may have unexpected gains from this trip.

When all the brides saw it, they all turned their attention to Guo Tuan.

Guo Tu breathed out and said: "I have also heard... people talk about it. It is rumored that there is a five-color holy mountain in Wuqin Grassland. All the ghosts will undergo incredible changes as long as they enter the five-color holy mountain. .”

Zuo Qiuling asked curiously: "What incredible change?"

Guo Tu said: "Entering the Five-Color Holy Mountain, there is a certain chance that the unawakened ghosts will be able to open their spirits; the opened ghosts will have a chance to understand more ghost arts. Some ghost arts are even extremely powerful, and even It’s a very rare ghost technique.”

After hearing Guo Shoun's words, the eyes of the brides suddenly lit up.

Guo Shoun continued: "Of course, there is a high probability that he will die inside. It is said that there are many strange things in this Five-Color Holy Mountain and it is very dangerous."

Lu Qian asked: "Can't people enter?"

Guo Shoun nodded and said: "If anyone goes in, he will definitely die. What's more, people can't practice ghost arts."

Lu Qian listened and sighed secretly.It seems that there is no chance for him this time.

After hearing what Guo Tu said, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Qiuling suddenly asked: "What dangers are there in the Five Color Mountains?"

Guo Shoun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

As she spoke, she turned her face to Linglong.

Linglong shrugged and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know either. Every time the Five Color Mountain is opened, the inside looks different. Therefore, before entering the mountain, no one knows what is inside, let alone what is inside. What's the danger?

but--"

Having said this, Linglong looked at Guo Shoun and said, "You are right about one thing. This Five Color Mountain has great opportunities for us ghosts, but the danger is also great."

The strength of a ghost depends almost entirely on the ghost techniques it has mastered.

If the ghost technique is weak, then no matter how strong its yin power is, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be useless to practice it for hundreds of years.

On the contrary, if Yin Gui masters one or two powerful ghost arts, his strength will soar.

This five-color mountain really deserves to be the "holy land" of ghosts.

Listening to Linglong's words, it was obvious that the Five Color Mountain could not be opened at will, so she asked: "What are the conditions for opening the Five Color Mountain?"

Linglong shook her head and said: "There are no conditions. The Five Color Mountain opens every hundred years and anyone can enter.

However, as she said, humans will die when they enter. "

Lu Qian listened and asked, "So...the hundred-year opening period of Five Color Mountain is coming soon?"

Linglong nodded with a smile and said: "You are very lucky. Normally there is no glow in the Five Color Mountain, but now it is full of glow. It is obvious that it will start soon.

If I remember correctly, it should be three days later. "

Lu Qian guessed Linglong's expression when she spoke and asked, "Aren't you going to come in?"

Linglong nodded and said, "I've already entered once, and it doesn't make much sense to enter again."

Looking at Linglong's young face, who was only about 20 years old, Lu Qian couldn't help but secretly thought: "I really didn't realize that Linglong's age of death was already over a hundred years old."

Although, Lu Qian had already noticed that this Linglong was not simple.

However, Lu Qian did not expect that she was actually an old ghost who was over 100 years old.

Of course, after death, the ghost will not continue to "grow".

What she looked like when she died, she will always look like that after becoming a ghost, and she will not age.

If human beings want to achieve "immortality", it will be impossible to achieve it despite all the difficulties and dangers.

Even in a first-level fairyland, one only has a long lifespan and the rate of aging is greatly slowed down, but one will still age.

However, ghosts are naturally "immortal".

Lu Qian looked at Zuo Qiuling and the other girls and saw some emotion on their faces.

This is normal. If it were Lu Qian, he would probably want to enter the Five Color Mountain.

Seeing this, Lu Qian lowered his head and began to think.

Lu Qian pondered in his heart and the carriage continued to move forward.

Not long after walking, a manor suddenly stood up in the plains beside the road ahead.

It is said to be a "manor", but it is actually a low fence surrounding a group of large and small wooden houses.

These wooden houses are all very low, only about half the height of common houses.

The north side of the wooden house is a stone wall, and the south side has doors and windows.

Outside the gate, a flagpole stood beside the road, with a wine flag hanging on it.

The wine flag hung upside down, with only four characters written on it:

Linglong Inn.
