Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality

Chapter 53 Red Salt Mountain

The mountains and fields are vast, in early autumn.

The autumn wind blows across the land, dyeing the forests with yellow and desolate charm.

On the side of a commercial road, Jiang He squatted on a huge rock, looking far into the distance.

His clothes were tattered, the corners of his clothes were stained with mud and claw marks, and his long hair was casually hanging behind his shoulders, mixed with dead branches and fallen leaves.

Under the sleeve of his right arm, the elbow was empty, and half of his arm was gone.

More than half a month ago, in Bandit Monkey Mountain, after arm wrestling with the white-maned giant arm ape, half of his right arm was broken into bone residue and flesh. Even the rare life-enduring Gu could not heal such a serious injury. He had to stop the bleeding and then try other things.

Due to the loss of his right arm, his combat power declined to a certain extent, at least he could no longer use both hands to send moon blades.

At the same time, without half of his arm, there are also many inconveniences in life, which makes Jiang He himself quite uncomfortable and at a loss. If he hadn't known that there are many Gu insects in the Gu world that can reshape broken limbs, he wouldn't have worried too much.

After leaving Feihou Mountain, Jiang He left the business road and rushed north all the way. Today, he finally reached his preset small goal.

In the field of vision, wooden towers stand in rows, salt piles are everywhere, and people are crowded. The thousand-foot-high mountain where the business road converges stands abruptly on the vast land.

Chiyan Mountain!

The salt bricks produced there are white with red, quite flavorful, and widely sold in a number of mountain villages in southern Xinjiang.

Jiang He had also seen it in Jia Fu's caravan, and many ordinary people bought it. There are also top-grade salt bricks, which are as red as blood, with a fine texture and a smooth jade-like luster. They are known as red salt jade and are also popular as Gu materials.

Because of salt bricks, a necessity of life, caravans gather and trade roads are open, the Yan family of Chiyan Mountain has made a lot of money, often five turns, and has been passed down for thousands of years.

Jiang He arrived at Chiyan Mountain because he saw that this place was full of merchants and had abundant supplies. He could buy Gu materials and feed the dying third-level ghost shadow attack Gu.

In addition, he tried to find Gu worms that could regenerate broken limbs and restore his right arm.

After a short rest, he set off north again.

He jumped and walked slowly along the business road.

Jiang He was dressed in messy clothes, alone, and his temperament was embarrassing like that of ordinary people, which attracted attention. The patrolling Gu Master naturally found him at the first time.

There are many commercial ports in Chiyan Mountain, which naturally attracts all kinds of righteous and evil Gu Masters. There are countless Gu Masters like Jiang He with unknown identities. Because the Yan family has a fifth-level Gu Master in charge, they rarely make trouble.

Seeing that he did not approach the mountain village and turned to run towards the caravan stationed outside, he did not pay much attention.

Walking among the caravan tents, Jiang He was still recalling the scene just now.

He guessed that the wooden towers on Chiyan Mountain were not Gu formations or lookouts, but springs drilled downwards to extract salt-rich brine from underground and make salt bricks.

It was obvious that the Yan family of Chiyan Mountain had mastered the technology of extracting brine from deep wells in ancient times.

The deep wells used to extract brine caused salt water to overflow, and the fields around Chiyan Mountain were seriously salinized. There was limited arable land, so mortals devoted themselves to extracting brine. They were soaked in brine for a long time, so their toes were thick and their joints were red and swollen. Over the years, solid salt crystals covered their entire arms.

The huge profits from selling salt bricks were all earned by the Yan family, and mortals could never escape the fate of being exploited.

But even so, there were still many mortals who flocked to it and crossed mountains and ridges to seek refuge.

At least, under the rule of the Yan family, there is no beast tide invasion, and safety is guaranteed. In daily life, there is no need to sprinkle salt when cooking, just shake your hands a little, and there is less money to spend. It is really a sweet taste in the bitterness.

Later, Jiang He walked out of the tent group, and the Gu in the air cavity changed slightly.

In addition to collecting enough food to feed the Shadow Running Gu, which swept away the decline, the relatively ordinary second-level water milk Gu, wood armor Gu, and crescent pupil Gu were sold, streamlining the configuration of Gu and reducing the feeding frequency.

On the glittering Huayin Zhenyuan Sea, there is a ball-shaped, crystal texture, translucent, palm-sized, like a cloud, like an old man with a cane, hunched back, white hair, and immortal style.

The third-level precious Gu, the elder Gu!

It can store up to one million Yuanshi. The most interesting thing is the expression of the old man above, which changes with the change of Yuanshi stock.

Buying this Gu will free up the storage space for the caged grass Gu, and at the same time, there will be a place for the Yuanshi produced by the Tianyuan Baojun Lotus in the future.

When Jiang He left Qingmao Mountain, he took the initiative to abandon tens of thousands of hidden Yuanshi in order to make room for the Gu worm food.

At this moment, the old man on the Yuanlao Gu had a sad expression, and the corners of his mouth were bent. Needless to say, there was a lot of Yuanshi in it.

As for the five-turn Gu material, the white-haired white ice jade, which he had grabbed from under the nose of the white-maned giant arm ape at Feihou Mountain, Jiang He also asked tentatively and learned that the average market price per catty was 80,000 Yuanshi, and it might be more if it was auctioned.

Recalling his three catties of white-haired white ice jade, a total of about 240,000 Yuanshi, it was equivalent to getting three silver relic Gu.

Jiang He was not in a hurry to sell it, he planned to keep it for himself.

In addition, he had not found a suitable Gu worm that could regenerate broken limbs.

It seems that because of the special nature of this type of Gu worm and the fact that it is backed by the large Yan family, all the Relic Gu and some rare Gu worms in the nearby caravans were bought out.

His right arm will probably be empty for a while.

At the same time, Jiang He also learned about the destruction of Qingmao Mountain, which caused a sigh.

That night, Jiang He lived in the salt brick house built by the Yan family, which was specially provided for foreign Gu masters. The walls were full of salt bricks, and even the air was filled with a salty smell.

In the next few days, Jiang He repeatedly asked other caravans to find out the destination, intending to join the caravan and stop by for a while.

But after asking three caravans, they were either heading west to Shangliang Mountain, east to Yi Family, or south to Wu Family, and none of them were heading north.

Fortunately, it was autumn, and there were many caravans returning. There were caravans every once in a while, so Jiang He didn't mind waiting.

Moreover, the road to the north was no less dangerous than the wild adventure in the past two months, and he was entangled in trivial matters and couldn't sleep at night. If he could join the caravan, he would naturally have something to rely on.

While waiting for the caravan to go north, Jiang He paid a premium and received a first-level wine worm from a Yan family Gu Master.

The first-level wine worm can only refine the first-level true essence. Jiang He's cultivation has been promoted to the third-level middle level, so he can't use it at all. But he remembered a secret recipe for wine worm refining from the Gu Yue clan, which can be refined into a third-level seven-fragrant wine worm with the effect of refining true essence.

If he could refine the third-turn seven-fragrance wine worm and refine his true essence, it would benefit his combat power and his daily nurturing of the empty acupoints.

Ten days later, he succeeded in refining the third-turn seven-fragrance wine worm.

If he hadn't been able to find enough wine worms, Jiang He would have wanted to try to refine the second-turn four-flavor wine worm according to what Fang Yuan said in the original book.

In his memory, the original book mentioned a lot of secret recipes for Gu worms, the most detailed of which was the third-turn untrustworthy Gu, which was extremely practical, and this was the Gu worm he wanted to try to refine next.

The next day, the morning mist dissipated.

In a nearby trade road, a caravan could be vaguely seen approaching Chiyan Mountain.

Seeing this, Jiang He immediately activated the Eagle Eye Gu to investigate.

However, he saw that the caravan was huge, and even accompanied by a Gu house. On the giant toad leading the caravan, a black flag fluttered in the wind, with a golden word written on it - Jia!
