As soon as he entered this oasis, Ye Chen used a thousand magic tricks to turn himself into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He also turned the dragon and tiger into a cat, and disappeared together with Qilin, who had turned into a unicorn.

He entered the crowd and headed towards the teleportation formation of Hanhai Sect.

Every time a large teleportation array is opened, the consumption is quite huge. If only a few people are teleporting, the gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, usually after a group of people are gathered together, the teleportation is concentrated once.

Da Zongmen often let others take a ride while using the teleportation array. Of course, there is a fee for such rides. There is no free lunch in the world.

Ye Chen and the others didn't know when the teleportation array would be opened next, so they had no choice but to enter the crowd and ask for some information.

Because most of the people here are businessmen from all over, all kinds of information are also very diverse and very well-informed.

Soon they got news about the teleportation array. The teleportation array will be opened as soon as tomorrow. There are still some places and registration is in progress.

However, the destination of this teleportation is not the Shanhe Sect, but the Northern Territory.

And they were surprised to find that in recent times, this teleportation array has been opened frequently, but almost everyone who left through this teleportation array was heading to the Northern Territory.

"Why are they swarming to that place where birds don't poop?" Longhu was very surprised.

It was turned into a cat by Ye Chen using Qian Huanhuan, which made it quite depressed. But with its size, there is really nothing else that can be changed except a cat. Turning it into a dog? Of course, it is not possible.

, not as good as a cat. A tiger? It seems that such a big tiger is a cat! As for other things... forget it! So the dragon and the tiger can only accept their fate.

It relieves all its depression by asking for information.

"They are going to the Northern Territory to collect spiritual stones!" said Qilin, who turned into a unicorn. It was also listening for news.

"Many of them are mortals, so why are a group of mortals going to the Northern Territory to collect spirit stones?" Ye Chen wondered. Spirit stones are only useful to powerful cultivators. Generally, spirit stones are only used in large quantities after reaching the realm of spiritual cultivation.

Even for those who are at the peak of Qi Cultivation Realm, spiritual stones are not very useful. For mortals, even if they obtain spiritual stones, they are just like waste rocks and cannot be used at all.

"Spiritual stones can be used as currency!" Qilin said: "This thing is much more valuable than gold, silver, jewelry, jade and the like."

Ye Chen was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

"That's natural." Qilin said: "Things are rare and valuable, and any rare thing is quite valuable. In today's world, spiritual energy is scarce, so any spiritual stone is a treasure that can be encountered but cannot be found. And spiritual energy is rare.

Stones can not only fix spiritual energy, but are also easy to store and carry, so they can naturally be used as currency."

Ye Chen smiled bitterly. He only considered the aspect of cultivation, but did not think of this aspect. No wonder him, the money he had access to before was just copper plates, and it would be great to have a piece of silver. How could he know about spiritual stones?

Can it still be used as money?

"It's strange. In the past, this teleportation array would not be activated once for months. Now even if it is activated because of the war with the Shanhe Sect, it doesn't need to be so frequent, right? And they are all going to the Northern Territory?"

Their hearing is very sensitive, and they can hear the sound of a pin dropping within a few dozen steps. They listened to every word of these people's discussions, which made them puzzled.

"What? The Shanhe Sect, known as the first of the six righteous sects in the world, has disappeared as a whole?"

Suddenly, they heard the shocking news.

They simply couldn't believe this was true. How could a sect as huge as the Shanhe Sect just disappear?

Even if the sect is wiped out, there will at least be corpses left behind if the inner and outer sects total more than 100,000 people, right?

But no, the entire Shanhe Sect, up and down, disappeared without a trace.

If it was just the disappearance of people, one could also think that there might have been an accident and they were destroyed by other forces. However, that is not the case. It is said that the Shanhe Sect disappeared quite completely, not to mention the elixirs and magic weapons.

, palaces, etc., even the Lingfeng in the core area has disappeared, as if this sect has never existed.

Such a thing is really unbelievable and unbelievable. However, this matter seems to have spread all over the world, and almost everyone is talking about it, so it does not seem to be false.

They continued to listen and learned that the Shanhe Sect had been missing for a full month. The first person to discover that the Shanhe Sect was missing was none other than the Hanhai Sect.

According to the news from the Hanhai Sect, at that time, the Shanhe Sect attacked the headquarters of the Hanhai Sect in order to capture the traitors who had stolen the fragments of the immortal weapon. Then it suddenly disappeared, so that the Hanhai Sect aggressively killed the Hanhai Sect who came to seek revenge.

It came to nothing.

Today, the hometown of Shanhe Sect has lost all its aura and has become a dead land. Not even a single bird or beast can be seen in the area tens of thousands of miles around.

The five sects of the Righteous Way all knew about this matter, and they all had the same view. They believed that the Shanhe Sect had obtained the fragments of the immortal weapon and was afraid of being robbed, so they did this. As for how to achieve this, they naturally used the immortal weapon.

The fragments are extremely powerful. But where they went is unknown.

Ye Chen, Longhu, and Qilin looked at each other in confusion. These people said they had noses and eyes, as if that was the truth. But only the three of them understood that this was not the case at all! The Shanhe Sect definitely did not grab the fairy artifact fragments, so it was impossible to use it.

The fairy fragments hid.

There is probably only one explanation for why this situation occurs, and that is the crack in the sky!

And this matter is directly related to them. It was they who broke the news a month ago.

"Qilin, what do you think about this matter?" Ye Chen asked.

Qilin has been in the Shanhe Sect for thousands of years, and he knows the Shanhe Sect very well. When something like this happens, his views are the most authoritative.

Qilin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know. The Shanhe Sect has faced major crises more than once before, but this has never happened before."

They moved to several places and heard the same news. They also learned that the reason why so many people rushed to the Northern Territory was because the price of spiritual stones had increased sharply during this period.

In the past, a pound of low-grade spiritual stone was worth at most a few dozen taels of silver, but now it has increased to at least a few hundred taels, a tenfold increase, and it is still priceless. This has given many people hope of getting rich, so

Then they started the spiritual stone business one after another.

"Since the Shanhe Sect has disappeared, there is no point in going to the Shanhe Sect to seek revenge. What should we do now?" Longhu asked. It was indirectly reminding Ye Chen that he should find a place to retreat and practice.

What it is most concerned about is this issue. Since it can no longer seek revenge, it is natural to consider this issue.

Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "We will also go to the Northern Territory."

"Why are we going to the Northern Territory?" Longhu looked incomprehensible.

Qilin also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Naturally, these merchants went to the Northern Territory to do spiritual stone business, but spiritual stones were meaningless to them.

They have obtained a large amount of spiritual sources. Even if there is only one drop of these spiritual sources, the spiritual energy content in it is equivalent to a vein of spiritual stone ore, or even much more than that. They have so many spiritual sources on their bodies that it is almost equivalent to carrying them with them.

They carry countless veins of spirit stones, so spirit stones are really not attractive to them.

Ye Chen said: "My adoptive father once said that Bingpo Hanyu can only be produced in the extreme northern wilderness of the Northern Territory. I want to go there to see if I can find some clues about my life experience."

For him, since there is no way to take revenge, investigating his life experience will naturally be put on the agenda. "And as far as I know, the Northern Territory is vast and sparsely populated, and it produces spiritual stones. We might be able to find one."

In a place suitable for cultivation, even if spiritual energy leaks, it will not be easily noticeable."

Now, Longhu was happy. Ye Chen's suggestion simply touched his heart.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Didn't it say there are still places to enter the teleportation array? Let's sign up right now!" It didn't want to wait another minute and pushed Ye Chen forward to sign up.

The teleportation array was located in the northwest of the town. They quickly walked there, only to find that a quarrel seemed to be taking place here.

"Ten pounds of low-grade spiritual stones, or one pound of medium-grade spiritual stones, can enter the teleportation array. Otherwise, go elsewhere! If you yell again, don't blame our Hanhai Sect for being rude! Do you think our Hanhai Sect is easy to bully?"

A loud voice yelled rudely, presumably it was the Hanhai Sect disciple responsible for maintaining this large teleportation array.

"No way! Even if the price increases, there is no need to increase it so outrageously!"

"That's right! When I opened the teleportation array last time, I only needed one pound of low-grade spiritual stones. Why did it increase tenfold this time?"

"How can there be such a price increase? Isn't this an obvious attempt to make things difficult for others?"

"..."

"..."

A group of people were chattering and refused to leave.

"What do you know?"

The voice came out again, "Do you know how many spiritual stones it costs to activate such a large teleportation array? At least hundreds of kilograms! This is just the cost of operation. Doesn't the teleportation array need maintenance? Maintenance

Don’t I need to spend spiritual stones?

This teleportation array usually does not activate once for months and years, but during this period because of your arrival, it has been activated frequently. It has been activated more times than in the past few decades combined, causing problems in many places and requiring more maintenance.

How many spirit stones does it cost? Isn’t it too much to charge you so much? Hand over the spirit stones as soon as possible. If you don’t have any, leave as soon as possible!”

"Isn't that too much?"

"Give me some face and take less from me!"

“It’s not easy for everyone!”

"..."

Everyone begged.

"Get out of here, get out of here, if you can't pick up the spirit stone, don't even think about entering the teleportation array!"

…

Ye Chen, Longhu, and Qilin understood. They were all in trouble. Unexpectedly, entering the teleportation array required spiritual stones?

They have spiritual sources and no shortage of spiritual energy, but they don’t have spiritual stones!

In Wuji Heavenly Palace, one can make spiritual stones by oneself, but at that time, who among them would be so free to make what kind of spiritual stones?

You know, the fundamental function of spiritual stones is spiritual energy. Why do you need spiritual stones when you have spiritual energy? But they ignored the currency function of spiritual stones. Daqing, this thing can be spent directly as money, even entering a teleportation array.

I need to hand over spiritual stones! If I had known earlier, I would have gotten him a lot of them to save!

Fortunately, now that we have left the Wuji Heavenly Palace, we have no spiritual energy in our body, but where are we going to get some spiritual stones? Is it possible that we have to do business without capital because of this? It’s too embarrassing!
