Chapter 1588 – Magic Gold Mountain Range
”Two pieces of news? Fellow Daoist say it.” Han Li asked noncommittally.
”In three months’ time, one of Cloud City’s auction houses, Yun Xiang Auction House, will have an auction of a Saint-stage Thorn Demon Beast’s Demon Core. As far as I know, this Demon Core is extremely rare, and even some of the Saint Clans in the city have set their eyes on this item, intending to make a bid to buy it.” The woman said slowly.
”Saint Clans!” Han Li frowned.
Even if he held himself to be wealthy, he was by no means confident that he was even wealthier than a Harmonization level existence. Which of those old monsters hadn’t lived for ten or even tens of thousands of years or more, and the number of things they had collected and the number of crystals they possessed was absolutely unbelievable.
Of course, if there is not the slightest scruple, he will be carrying a lot of spirit medicine materials all take out to transform the crystal stone, it is not impossible and these saint race to compete with some of the auction.
But Han Li is in a foreign land, how will easily show his family. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the magic core has not yet bought, it was first stared at by someone with a heart.
He does not want to cause trouble for no reason.
Han Li’s mind turned quickly, and in a moment, he shook his head:
”Since there is a Sacred Race participating in the auction, I definitely won’t be able to capture this item. This method won’t work.”
”Oh, since senior said so. Then there’s only the second piece of news to hear. Senior is new to the Heavenly Clouds, right? I don’t know if you’ve heard of the ‘Demon Gold Mountain Range’.” The young girl smiled, unconcerned.
”The Devil’s Gold Mountain Range! I only know that there is such a place, but the specific circumstances are really unclear.” Han Li’s heart stirred as he listened.
”It’s not surprising that senior isn’t too clear! This place has only appeared in the last ten thousand years, and few people from other places know about it. The late generation will explain it in detail.” The woman’s bright eyes flowed and she smiled sweetly.
”Then I’ll be obliged to you, fellow Daoist.” Han Li nodded without moving, while that map of the territory near Cloud City appeared in his mind, right where the Demon Gold Mountain Range was located.
”About ten thousand years ago, a space storm suddenly appeared in the land of the barren plains a month’s journey away from my Cloud City. I don’t know why, but after the spatial storm, a black mountain range suddenly appeared there. This mountain range was enveloped by a thick devilish aura, and the void in the sky above was extremely unstable, with many spatial cracks appearing. And these cracks have a large number of magic gas gushing out, and accompanied by some high-level magic beasts wildly out, which there is no lack of some holy level magic beasts. In a short period of time, with this mountain range as the center of the millions of miles of area, all fell into the magic domain. And it keeps spreading in all directions. This matter alarmed the top-ranked Saint Clan members of our Heavenly Cloud Clan. As a result, several Sacred Race Sixth and Seventh Ranks joined forces and entered this region, killing most of the Sacred Rank Devil Beasts in a joint effort, and continued into the center of the mountain range, intending to settle this matter once and for all.” The Crystal Race woman spoke with a grave expression.
As for Han Li, as soon as this woman spoke of the spatial cracks and the large amount of demonic qi gushing out, his heart was stunned, and he almost instantly thought of the land of the River Styx back when he was in the Fei Ling Clan.
However, at this time, the Crystal Race woman let out a long breath before continuing, “Those Saint Races did not know what had happened to them at the center of the mountain range, and actually stayed there for half a year before returning. After they came back, they immediately ordered this area to be completely sealed up with prohibitions, leaving only one entrance and exit. Then they sent word to all the clans that the matter had been resolved, and that there would no longer be a large amount of demonic energy and Saint-ranked magical beasts pouring out of the spatial rift, and that they would only maintain the current area size and number of magical beasts. However, from now on, the existence of the Saint race or above is not allowed to enter this place, but people below the Saint race can enter this area to kill the magical beasts, in order to obtain the inner elixir and some rare materials. But the time to enter this area, can only be a fixed month of the year, and regardless of whether there is a harvest, each time can only stay for a month. Must leave this area, time will immediately close the exit. To know that place demonic gas so heavy, even the magic cultivator can not stay inside for too long. Otherwise, under the assimilation of magic gas, must have become a demon. And this place is full of magical beasts, it is indeed a good place to get rare materials in exchange for spirit stones. Therefore, in the first few years, almost every year when it opened, there would be a large number of middle and high level existences pouring into this place. However, after a while, the number of people thinned out. To this day, those who still dare to enter this place are even fewer.”
Speaking here, the Crystal Race woman sighed.
”Why is that?” Han Li became somewhat curious.
”The casualties are simply too staggering. Those who entered the Demon Domain and were able to come out were certainly loaded, but those who failed to come out took up a full one-twelfth of those who entered. Such a high percentage of the fall, if only a few times okay, but year after year, and never see the inside of the high-grade magical beasts reduced, naturally let a person daunted. In addition to the countless high-ranking magical beasts in the magic domain, there were even a few holy-ranking magical beasts left over from that year. Although they basically only inhabited the center, but if they occasionally encountered, naturally, there was only one way to die. To be honest, entering this mountain range is not easy to say whether it is the various races killing the magical beasts, or letting the magical beasts specialize in devouring the cultivators of the various races. The good thing is that the higher the level of magical beasts, the more in the depths of the mountain range, easily not to the edge of the ground to bring. Otherwise, no one would go in to die. Now if you dare to venture into this place, and can come out alive, can be said to be rich overnight. Therefore, this magic area is gradually known as the ‘Magic Gold Mountain Range’, which is used to describe how much we hate and love this place.” The Crystal Race woman explained one by one with a smile.
”Fellow Daoist said so much, could it be that you want me to enter this place and kill the Saint-ranked magical beasts within?” Han Li stroked his chin for a long time before faintly saying.
His face was expressionless, but his heart had already made up its mind. If the woman in front of him were to really go crazy with such a suggestion, he would immediately end the conversation without saying a word and leave this place.
Even though this Heaven’s Beyond Demon Armor was of great use to him, it wasn’t so great that he would put his little life on the line for it.
”The center of that Devil’s Gold Mountain Range is so dangerous, how could senior make this suggestion. But what the late generation wants the senior to plot is also indeed the demon core of a Saint ranked demonic beast in the Black Gold Mountain Range.” The Crystal Race woman pursed her lips and lightly shook her head.
”What does this say?” Han Li’s gaze flickered as if he had thought of something.
”As far as I know, more than a hundred years ago, an unknown Saint-ranked magical beast, for unknown reasons, suddenly forced its way out of the Demon Gold Mountain Range and attacked several nearby towns in a row. But at the same time, it was also seriously injured by several other Saint Clansmen who arrived at the scene and escaped. And by chance, my juniors happened to know the hiding place of this magical beast.” The woman revealed a mysterious look on her face and spoke words that caused Han Li to be startled.
”Are you serious about this?” Han Li took a deep breath, his expression becoming grave.
”It’s absolutely not false! And this beast was too heavily injured, and quietly sneaked back to a hidden place at the edge of the Black Gold Mountain Range, is in a deep sleep, aptitude is still less than one-tenth of its full strength. The only trouble is, this beast in the sleeping place to create a piece of magic gas boundary. Unless it is a high-ranking demonic cultivator who can also drive demonic qi, the moment it touches this boundary, it will immediately wake up the beast. This is also the reason why I knew about this beast’s traces long ago, but have been unable to do anything about it. The price for me to repair the magic armor for senior is all the other materials on this beast except the magic core. If senior thinks it’s appropriate, I’ll tell you the truth about the place where this beast is sleeping.” After the Crystal Race woman finished speaking about everything, she finally solemnly stated her conditions.
”Is it true that this beast only sleeps at the edge of the Black Gold Mountain Range and has less than a tenth of its original aptitude? How do you accurately know the condition of this beast.” Han Li pondered for a long time before asking this.
He was naturally a bit moved to hear this woman say so, but with so much at stake, he likewise needed to ask about everything first.
”The late generation is in no way false. Seeing as seniors still have doubts, seniors should understand if they show seniors one more thing.” The crystal woman saw Han Li so cautious, but instead of a happy heart said, then one hand raised, suddenly a stream of black smoke from its sleeve robe shot out, a burst of cohesion, transformed into a thing stayed at the top of the woman’s head.
Actually is a fist size, black body, but the mouth is red, two eyes golden strange bird.
”Magic Smoke Bird!” Han Li recognized the bird’s origin at a glance, first with a shock, then with a sudden realization.
”Not bad! This spirit beast is precisely one of the extremely rare types of demonic beasts in the Spirit Realm that can be tamed by us. Although it doesn’t have the slightest attacking power, it is absolutely marvelous in finding things and sneaking around. It is even possible for the owner to send a trace of divine thought in its body for a long period of time to personally manipulate it. I know that after that holy level magical beast, is to manipulate this bird several times to sneak into its sleeping place, to observe with their own eyes.” The Crystal Race woman smiled sweetly and said.
”Since this demonic bird is here, I also believe that your words are not false. However, Han still needs to ask one more question, this Saint ranked demonic beast was able to escape with its life under the Saint Race’s joint efforts. It shouldn’t be a low-level Saint rank. And different kinds of beasts, the same level of aptitude is also very different. Are you also unable to determine the species of this beast?” Han Li nodded, but asked several more careful questions.
”Although I didn’t personally witness that great battle between this beast and the other Saint Races when it was in its heyday. But it is said that it should be equivalent to around between the second and third ranks of the Saint Race. Of course, I’m only judging this through the mouths of others, and I can’t be very sure. As for the type of this beast, it is not easy to judge, but it seems to be similar to the legendary True Spirit ‘Mountain Giant Ape’ for a few moments, maybe it really has its bloodline for a few moments.” The Crystal Race woman said without thinking.
”Mountain Giant Ape!” Han Li’s face changed slightly when he heard these words.
”By the way, late generation I have an image of this beast, so senior can take a look at it first.” The Crystal Race woman seemed to have thought of something else, and with a lift of her jade hand, she tossed over another stone piece that had been prepared long ago.
Han Li wasn’t polite and directly grabbed the stone slice into his hands, placing it towards his forehead and dipping his divine sense into it.
”Sure enough, there are a few similarities!” After a long time, Han Li put his arm down and said in a slightly thoughtful manner.
”The junior has already said so much. I wonder if senior has made a decision.” The Crystal Race woman looked at Han Li and said with a hidden hint of expectation.
”I wonder how you are addressed?” After Han Li smiled faintly, he even suddenly asked a windy question.
”Seniors call seniors ‘Fiber’ on the line!” The Crystal Race woman was stunned, then said with a light smile.
