The name Nine Xuanshan, is not actually the name of a mountain, but is used to refer to a place located in the Northeast region.
The Northeast is the territory in the northeast of North Vietnam and in the north of the Red River Delta, Vietnam. Called the northeast to distinguish it from the northwest, it is actually in the north and northeast of Hanoi, wider than the Viet Bac region.
It is called Nine Xuanshan also because this place exists a mysterious land, which is always covered by a thick layer of fog and there is a separating magnetic force. Nine Xuanshan is a collection of nine large and small mountains, including a mother mountain nearly five thousand meters high and eight child mountains surrounding the mother mountain.
These sub-mountains have a height of nearly three thousand meters, they are adjacent to each other in a circle, completely enclosing the mother mountain in the middle, forming a wall separating the mother mountain from the outside world.
Also because it carries a terrain that helps separate it from the outside world; have an erratic, dangerous year-round climate, a strange magnetic field that makes signals and electronic devices unable to work inside; So here, it seems to be completely uninhabited, every year only a few explorers and tourists come to visit the scenery outside.
12:40 P.M
"Shen Kai, we're finally here!" Wei Fan stood up straight, looked into the distance again, and then spoke.
Wei Fan is currently dressed as an adventurer.
Underneath the foot, is a pair of dark brown shoes, hugging the feet with rubber soles, with high durability and adhesion. Next is to be combined with a pair of elastic pants, which look quite suitable for his current figure. On top, he wore a glossy black cotton jacket, and inside was a light orange absorbent T-shirt. On his back hung a waterproof backpack, all of which were personal items. In the end, the first part is worn with a mortar hat, only temporarily used to cover the rain and the sun.
From the very beginning, after learning about the composition of two ginseng jars containing spiritual talents, Wei Fan and Shen Kai discovered that there was a strange herb inside. Of course, as soon as Wei Fan learned about the information of that herb, he discovered that it is the only herb that exists only in the Northeast region and is also found only in Nine Xuanshan. This is the reason why Wei Fan thinks that all the mysteries lie within this mysterious place.
Referring to the ginseng medicine containing spiritual talent, it is produced by a company named Huyen Chi Coc and is also an exclusive product of this company. He could not find the company's founding information, only that it was established more than 50 years ago, which is really reputable in the market.
In addition, Shen Kai previously mentioned two possibilities. Firstly, thanks to luck, someone discovered this type of spiritual talent, from which to research and invent that medicine. Second, there was someone who arranged everything, from mass production, as well as wanting it to expand to the outside, for the sole purpose of baiting other elves.
At this time, Wei Fan strode step by step on the only sandy dirt road, around the road was a vast grassland area.
Under the burning sun, Wei Fan, alone on the way, spoke softly:
"As you said before, there are two possibilities related to that ginseng potion. But as far as I can see, the second possibility is very vague..."
"What's ambiguous?"
Wei Fan put his hand on his chin in thought, and said, "First, we're still not sure about the other's true intentions. Is it true that the other person wants to lure or seduce cultists like us, or Second, if it's really a lure or we show up, it doesn't take nearly 50 years of effort, just to do this..."
"So, what do you mean?" Shen Kai inside the necklace, immediately asked.
"According to my theory. I think, there might not be just one person behind this, but there are actually a lot of people. Like us, the cultivators of immortals are in this place. Yes It might be!"
Wei Fan nodded and said again, "That means, there is a place where the monks gather together so that the community can practice. They just want to signal us to join, Not necessarily hostile..."
"Just like in the movie, the main has the ability to cast magic, later discovers a mysterious magic school in a mysterious location. Now has the same ability. Wei Fan, you deduce It's a bit over the top! He he." With fleeting thoughts, Wei Fan involuntarily laughed "ha ha" a few times.
But hearing the theory from Wei Fan, Shen Kai now realizes that this case is also possible. He pondered for a moment, then said:
"Um, it makes sense to listen to you! If that's the case, there's a possibility that a sect of immortals exists here, just hiding and existing in parallel with this scientific world. I'm quite commendable. for your sudden intelligence!"
Receiving compliments from Shen Kai, but Wei Fan felt despised, and asked, "Are you praising me or are you looking down on me?"
"Also coming outside of Nine Xuanshan's range, what should we do next? Search outside first or go straight in for clues?" Traveling alone for a long distance, Wei Fan opened his mouth to ask again.
Shen Kai immediately replied: "Of course we should look around first, then go deeper, not necessarily the first possibility does not exist. Time is still long, just slow to find it."
"I get it!" Wei Fan nodded, moving again.
1:00 PM
It was said to be close, but it took Wei Fan nearly 15 minutes to actually get outside of Nine Xuanshan's range.
Arriving there, he immediately began to learn, as well as to find clues related to the strange herb. It took him almost a day to search but to no avail. In fact, he only found a land that is said to be the place where Huyen Chi Coc's herbs are grown, but according to what Shen Kai said, it only contains ordinary herbs. This makes it clear that if you want to learn more about the secret, you can only go inside.
6:30 PM
"A day of searching in vain, it is already dark, we should also find a place to stop!"
The sun has also gone out, Wei Fan is now also stopping to learn, and then begins on the way to find a place to stay overnight.
He strode on the path, surrounded by luxuriant bamboo corners.
After another distance, Wei Fan noticed that there was a bright light in the distance, and he immediately ran over. The closer he got to Wei Fan, the more he could see clearly, in front of him appeared a small inn for tourists and adventurers to stay overnight.
Although Nine Xuanshan is known as a dangerous place and should not be explored in depth, the scenery here is also very beautiful. Every year, this place often has a lot of people coming to visit and travel, followed by a small number of small hotels and inns that keep popping up.
Of course, people often only visit at the edge, but do not dare to go deep inside, but every year there are often people who are not afraid of death, go deep inside and disappear from there. Ten people were walking, up to nine people were missing.
Wei Fan at this time approached, standing in front of an old, unnamed inn.
Without hesitation, he slowly walked inside.
Entering the inn, Wei Fan immediately saw a rather old man, still sitting on the floor, resting.
But this old man has a white hair like a mist, a thin body showing blue veins, a few wrinkles on his face but always smiling on his lips. Looking at the old man's appearance, he was most likely over seventy, but he still felt that he was still very healthy.
The old man is currently sitting on the floor, holding a cup of tea that is still in the middle of drinking.
"Hi, how long are you planning to rent a room to explore?" The old man saw a guest coming from afar, and immediately asked.
"How do you know?" Wei Fan immediately asked back, because this person partly guessed his purpose.
Seeing that Wei Fan seemed so surprised, the old man said softly:
"Don't be so surprised, I've opened this inn for more than a dozen years! People come here, one is a visitor, the other is an explorer, I immediately guessed when I saw your appearance. But you came. this is for exploration, is it true?"
Wei Fan nodded and smiled again: "Yes! I'm going to explore the inside of Nine Xuanshan soon, so I want to rent this place for a few days."
"Young man, why would you want to go exploring in such a dangerous place? Don't you know it's very dangerous there? Especially the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes." Hearing Wei Fan mention the exploration inside Nine Xuanshan, the old man asked in surprise.
Indeed, Nine Xuanshan is known as the most dangerous place in the world, not only dangerous, but also very mysterious. It is often rumored that there is a real man-eating beast inside, which also contains a lot of hidden treasures deep inside. That is also the reason, although the danger can be fatal, but because human nature is curious, there are still many people who want to explore this place, just want to find out the truth.
"Oh no! I didn't say it clearly, you don't have to worry too much, I'm just exploring at the edge of Nine Xuanshan. Just at the edge! Hehe." Wei Fan scratched his head and said, he didn't want to be stopped, so he could only say so.
"Oh, I see!" The old man nodded, reassured.
As for Wei Fan, after seeing that the old man no longer wondered - doubted, Wei Fan also opened up: "Then let me rent a room for three days, I will send money first..."
"Ah, okay!"
The old man raised his hand to receive the money, then slowly stood up and guided Wei Fan to the second floor to check in.
Although this inn is small, it has two floors in all, it is quite clean and comfortable, for a small inn, that is really too good!
After receiving the key, Wei Fan immediately opened the door and entered the room, then placed the backpack on the floor and closed the door.
He took a deep breath, slowly approached, and lay back on the soft bed again.
"Well, tomorrow I will try to go inside Nine Xuanshan to investigate, but today it took a day without a clue, and it was a waste of time."
Wei Fan sighed, softly said: "Come on! I'm going to sleep!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Fan quickly fell asleep, after all, it had been a day of traveling and tired of looking outside.
"Hmph, is it scouting Nine Xuanshan?" A hoarse voice, somewhat humorous, continued to whisper from outside.
