Don't worry, let me start a game first

After getting the Daoyuan Pearl, Lin Qianxing was not in a hurry to use it.

He also wanted to find an accessory for the Daoyuan Pearl.

Only when the two things are combined can they function better.

Lin Qianxing took one step, and his figure flashed, appearing thousands of miles away. Then he took another step, and he was thousands of miles away again.

As Lin Qianxing's figure continued to flash in the air, not long after, he had arrived at the edge of a magnificent human city.

Tongyou City.

An ancient human city that has been built for tens of thousands of years.

It was built near a historic site called Ghost Ridge, hence its name.

There are hundreds of millions of human beings living in it, which is comparable to a country.

The city is ruled by a fifth-level powerful man whose strength is so powerful that he is ranked among the best in the entire Lingyuan Heaven.

He was supposed to ascend to the upper world, but for some reason he was forced to stay here.

No one knows the specific reason.

Inside Mengduo Auction House.

Each cherished item was lifted up one by one by the delicate-looking auction ladies, and the auctioneer bid.

"The pair of wings of the young Feather Clan contain a strong essence of wind. They are the best items for both food and weapon refining."

A pair of blue wings were placed on the stand, causing countless bidders to show some expressions of interest.

"Today's Yu clan is already a rare commodity. I haven't seen it for a long time. I didn't expect to see it again today."

"You have to buy it no matter how much it costs."

"Ten thousand purple spirit coins."

"Thirteen thousand"

In the corner, Lin Qianxing watched this scene expressionlessly, without much emotion.

For some human races, they will eat the tail meat of the sharks and the guts of the scale people, let alone the wings of the feather tribe.

Moreover, the way of eating is very perverted, with the victim tied up and eaten alive, and watching them struggle while eating.

Humans are not born perverted.

The same is true for all intelligent races.

When you stand in a strong position, higher up the food chain, and have no moral and legal constraints, you will naturally magnify the dark side of your heart infinitely.

But this is indeed not civilized enough.

After all, they are also intelligent beings. It is also a sign of respect for oneself to replenish the food before eating.

Midway through the auction, the auctioneer took out a map.

"The map of Ghost Ridge. This is a new road that has been opened up. It can reach as far as four thousand miles. The ghost mines and dangerous areas along the way are marked. The seller has signed a contract with me. It will only be sold once and will not be sold again. I will go there again, and after getting it, this road will be your private mining road, and the starting price is one thousand purple spirit coins."

"Four thousand miles? Who can go that far?"

"Is it possible that it has been hollowed out? He just sold the map to make more money?"

"It's also very valuable if it's hollowed out. Who can enter the place three thousand miles away except those fourth-level monks? This road has been opened up, making it much safer to walk."

During the discussion, Lin Qianxing silently raised a sign.

"Two thousand purple spirit coins once." The auctioneer said.

"I will pay you three thousand purple spirit coins." A person said.

"Three thousand purple spirit coins once."

Lin Qianxing raised his sign again.

"Four thousand purple spirit coins once."

"Five thousand purple spirit coins!"

Lin Qianxing held up the sign without changing his expression.

"Six thousand purple spirit coins"

Not long after, the price soared to 10,000 Ziling coins.

At this time, there was only one person left bidding against Lin Qianxing.

The other party seems determined to win.

When Lin Qianxing reached 15,000, he glanced at the opponent and stopped raising his card.

Because he didn't have half a purple spirit coin in his pocket, and he knew that if he raised his card again, the other party wouldn't follow.

"Sixteen thousand purple spirit coins once, twice, three times. Congratulations to this young master for getting this map of Ghost Ridge!!" the auctioneer said.

Time passed and the auction soon came to an end.

All the bidders got up and prepared to leave.

As soon as Lin Qianxing walked to the door, a voice came.

"Your Excellency in black clothes ahead, please stay."

Hearing the sound, Lin Qianxing stopped and looked back.

It's the person who took the map before.

He was a young man who looked to be about twenty years old. He was about 1.7 meters tall and had ordinary facial features. What was noteworthy was that his eyes were not as innocent as his apparent age, but full of vicissitudes of life.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"I am Shang Chen, from Luoyu District of Tongyou City." Shang Chen introduced himself first, and then said to Lin Qianxing: "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Lin Kong." Lin Qianxing said.

"Mr. Lin is bidding on the map, is he planning to go to Ghost Ridge to collect ghost stones?" Shang Chen asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"This map is not for me alone. I see that your aura is very powerful. If I can travel with you, I will be more confident." Shang Chen said.

"I won't protect the burden." Lin Qianxing said.

"I'm not talented, I'm a third-level waterbending master," Shang Chen said.

"When will we set off?" Lin Qianxing nodded.

"Three days later, Chenshi will be at the east gate of Tongyou City. In addition to sir, I will also find some other helpers," Shang Chen said.

"Is there anyone else? If you find something, how will you divide it up?" Lin Qianxing asked again.

"Of course whoever finds it first will belong to it," Shang Chen said.

"That's just relying on strength? Then why bother looking for others?" Lin Qianxing pretended to be dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, we will find a contract master to make a contract, so the distribution is actually based on luck." Shang Chen explained.

Lin Qianxing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, see you in three days."

After saying that, Lin Qianxing turned around and left.

Behind Lin Qianxing, Shang Chen looked thoughtful.

He had no intention of inviting Lin Qianxing originally, but when the two were competing for the map, he accidentally glanced at Lin Qianxing using Tao skills to get his specific information.

But what surprised him was that even his third-level [Appraisal Master] could not clearly see Lin Qianxing's specific energy level and information.

This can only mean one thing, Lin Qianxing is either at the fourth level, or it means that he has some powerful trump card that can hide his aura.

Shang Chen was lacking strong helpers, so the appearance of Lin Qianxing naturally made him overjoyed. Moreover, Lin Qianxing seemed to be interested in exploring Ghost Ridge, so he quickly came to invite Lin Qianxing.

And Lin Qianxing agreed, and everything went smoothly.

But the only thing that feels a little wrong about Shang Chen is that it all seems a bit too coincidental?

Shang Chen didn't think too much about this problem. There were so many coincidences. The fact that he met Lin Qianxing could only mean that God was helping him.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The east gate of Tongyou City.

In front of a small flying boat, Lin Qianxing and Shang Chen met again.

Behind Shang Chen, there were two men and one woman.

The woman was wearing a light green dress and looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. She was not equipped with any weapons other than a sword.

One of the two men looked slightly older and was carrying a metal shield, while the other looked younger and was carrying a gun case.

"This is Miss Hou Menghan, a third-level [Physician], this is Brother Luo Ruiluo, a third-level [Shield Master], and this is Mr. Lu Ren, a third-level [Spear Guard] Envoy]." Shang Chen spoke out and introduced Lin Qianxing one by one, and then he said to the other three people: "This is Lin Kong, Mr. Lin, with advanced cultivation."

Several people raised their hands to each other as a greeting.

Then Shang Chen took out several contracts for everyone to sign.

After everyone carefully checked and found that there was no problem, they wrote their names.

Once the name is written, the contract dissipates, proving that it has taken effect.

It doesn't matter whether the name is true or false, what matters is whether that name was signed by you.

As long as you sign, the contract can be accurately locked to you.

There is nothing messy about this contract. It is nothing more than a restriction on everyone not to attack each other during this outing to collect ghost stones, or to deliberately harm the interests of the team. The above does not even have to deal with danger together. According to the enemy, the binding force is actually average.

"Since everyone has signed the contract, let's board the ship." Shang Chen said.

After everyone boarded the ship, Shang Chen said again: "Although the contract has been signed, I still want to say one more thing. What I am looking for here is wealth. I also ask you to cooperate as much as possible and avoid conflicts along the way."

"This is natural." Hou Menghan nodded and said.

Lin Qianxing, Luo Rui and Lu Ren also nodded slightly to express their understanding.

Boom~!

The energy system below the spaceship was activated, spewing out a large amount of purple particles.

This energy system is different from the source machine in Kanghua Academy in the lower realm.

What is consumed is not the Origin Qi, but the Purple Spirit Ore.

It is a highly condensed energy crystal, a natural energy ore that can be used directly.

It is very common throughout Lingyuantian, so it is also widely used as currency for transactions.

Outside the flying boat, a faint purple light film appeared, and soon the flying boat began to slowly rise upwards.

After reaching a certain height, under Shang Chen's control, the flying boat streaked across the sky with a purple light and quickly disappeared between the clouds.

In less than two quarters of an hour, they had arrived in front of Ghost Ridge.

In front of everyone, there were patches of fog that stretched straight to the sky. It was impossible to see what was going on inside, and even with mental strength, one could not penetrate into it.

These fogs cannot be blown away or dissipated.

Even with excellent eyesight, he can only see within a distance of less than a hundred meters.

They are condensed by the soul energy of countless dead souls. Living creatures in them will be eroded by them, gradually causing their own vitality to be damaged, so they cannot stay for long.

The reason for this is that we have to mention the origin of Ghost Ridge.

The Ghost Ridge covers a radius of 130,000 miles. It is said to be the remains of the war between hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are too many dead creatures in it to be counted.

Because of this, there is this endless soul mist.

Of course, Soul Mist isn't entirely a bad thing.

Under the erosion of this soul mist, some changes gradually occurred in this area.

The corpses of the dead creatures were eroded by the soul mist and turned into special soul beasts. The soil and rocks in them were eroded by the soul mist and turned into precious "ghost ore".

Ordinary soul beasts are of little value. They are just a piece of rotten flesh that has not completely decayed under the protection of the soul mist. However, pure soul power is stored in the ghost ore, which can be directly absorbed and used to improve one's own soul. It is very precious. The treasures of heaven and earth.

However, it is difficult to enter the soul mist to collect ghost stones.

Generally, it would take at least a second-level monk to stay inside for half an hour.

Therefore, if the cultivation level is less than the fourth level, there is no way to go very far.

After so many years, people in Tongyou City have generally only explored about three thousand miles.

Further away, only monks of level four or above can enter.

And not all of them can come out after entering it.

Over the years, many fourth-level monks have died here.

Shang Chen looked at the map and circled most of the outside of Ghost Ridge, found a certain place, and then rushed in.

As soon as they entered it, Lin Qianxing and others felt an invisible chill seeping in, constantly melting the vitality in everyone's body.

Not even Feizhou's energy barrier could stop it.

This is the reason why Ghost Ridge has not been fully explored after so many years.

These soul mist do not follow common sense at all. Ordinary monks cannot touch it and cannot interfere with its existence. However, it will continue to erode into the monk's body until it completely freezes the monk from the inside out.

And the further inside you explore, the thicker the soul mist becomes, and the greater the corrosive power becomes.

After each exploration, the monks have to rest for a long time to recover.

If Shang Chen hadn't bought a map that could go four thousand miles this time, Luo Rui and others might not have followed him to explore.

What everyone wanted was to make a quick decision, quickly enter the safe place according to the map, find the ghost stone, and then leave quickly.
