Chapter 230 - Stepping in Advance

  Under Su Qian's eager gaze, He Song's face was calm as he casually said.

  He had come here.

  It was only for the map.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the Spiritual Skill Pavilion here was too big, and that he was afraid of being targeted if he rashly said that he wanted a detailed map of the Yi Yang Sect, he might have just opened his mouth and said that he wanted a map.

  He might have just opened his mouth and said that he wanted a detailed map of the Yi Yang Sect.

  After all, what he was going to do next was to need the specific locations of the various Immortal Places Immortal Cities as well as the routes that he would need to take to get to his place.

  With these things.

  Only then would he be able to quickly determine where it was suitable for him to build a hidden cave.

  Just.

  A foreign cultivator.

  What was he trying to do by asking for a detailed map of the Yi Yang Sect?

  Scouting for information?

  Scouting for facts and figures?

  Step on the spot in advance?

  He Song thought that if he encountered such a situation, he would definitely have doubts in his heart.

  Perhaps, he would have made some kind of mistake.

  Naturally, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, He Song only said that he wanted a map.

  As for what kind of map.

  That would have to be seen to be known.

  So.

  In the face of Su Qian's inquiry, He Song only said that he wanted a map and did not reveal his true intentions.

  "A map? Senior please follow me."

  After listening to He Song's needs, Su Qian pondered a little before quickly leading He Song towards other places.

  And while continuously guiding He Song, she also didn't forget to talk to He Song, seemingly wanting to use this method to draw closer to He Song, so that He Song wouldn't feel bad about her previous behavior.

  At this, He Song was amused, but he also had a conversation with her.

  When he first came here, He Song also needed to deepen his understanding of this place.

  However.

  When it came to the fact that He Song was new to the territory of the Yi Yang School, Su Qian brightened up and began to introduce the various aspects of the Yi Yang School to He Song.

  According to Su Qian's introduction, He Song's heart, soon also has a certain understanding of the One Sun Sect.

  The One Sun Sect, occupies an extremely wide range.

  The areas where the Thick Earth Sect, the Golden Sword Sect, the Pure Yin Sect, the Qiong Hua Sect, and other Jindan sects were located were only the outermost periphery of the Yi Yang Sect's sphere of influence.

  These Jindan sects are the buffer zone between the Yi Yang Sect and the other Yuan Ying Sect.

  Within the vast area of influence of the Yi Yang Sect, just like other Jindan sects, there are also Immortal Workshops, Immortal Cities, and Immortal States to govern various areas.

  Immortal Workshops and Immortal Cities were no different from Jindan sects.

  However, an immortal state is a higher center above the immortal city that is used to manage an immortal city.

  An Immortal State had at least twenty Immortal Cities under its jurisdiction, and as many as thirty was not impossible.

  An Immortal City had three to five Immortal Workshops under its jurisdiction.

  The radius of an Immortal Workshop was basically hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles away.

  As for the Yi Yang Sect, there were ten Immortal States under its jurisdiction.

  That is to say, the Immortal Cities under the jurisdiction of the Yi Yang Sect were at least as many as two hundred, and the Immortal Cities under its true jurisdiction, even three hundred Immortal Cities, were also possible.

  To know.

  The Thick Earth Sect, as a Jindan Sect, only had four Immortal Cities, not even a single state.

  Even after taking down the Seven Star Sect's sphere of influence, the number of Immortal Cities it possessed changed from four to eight.

  However, the eight Immortal Cities still didn't even have the land of a state.

  And what about the One Sun Sect? It had ten immortal states under its jurisdiction, and nearly three hundred immortal cities.

  Such a sphere of influence is almost a hundred times that of a normal Jindan sect.

  He Song only did some rough calculations in his mind and realized that the sphere of influence of the One Sun Sect was simply too big to be scary.

  No wonder.

  No wonder the Yi Yang Sect was able to use several Immortal Cities as buffer zones with other YuanYing Sect at will.

  No wonder the One Sun Sect was able to continuously give birth to a single YuanYing Ancestor.

  No wonder the One Sun Sect was able to command the Jindan sects under its command at will.

  No wonder.

  With such a huge YuanYing Upper Sect, there were naturally countless various spiritual objects within its sphere of influence.

  At the same time, He Song's heart was also a little shaken by his previous thought of purchasing a detailed map of the Yi Yang Sect.

  This Flying Cloud Immortal Place was quite remote.

  Perhaps.

  There wouldn't be a detailed map of the Yi Yang Sect.

  At most, one could only purchase a map of a state here, right?

  The land of one state usually had more than twenty immortal cities under its jurisdiction, such a vast area, He Song had never seen it since he descended into the Immortal Cultivation World.

  In the past, when he was in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Workshop, he felt that Qingguan Immortal City was already very large.

  When he was in Qingguan Immortal City, he felt that the Thick Earth Sect was also large.

  When he was in the Thick Earth Sect, he again felt that the several great Jindan sects around him were big.

  It wasn't until after he stepped out of the Thick Earth Sect and arrived at the sphere of influence of the YuanYing Upper Sect.

  Only then did he realize with a sudden shock.

  This Yang Sect was truly big.

  It was too big!

  He Song had traveled from the Thick Earth Sect's Hundred Herbs Immortal Workshop to this place, and had only passed through a few Immortal Cities.

  It had already taken He Song more than ten days.

  One must know that He Song was now in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and his speed as a recluse was incredibly fast.

  In such a state, he passed through several Immortal Cities, but still spent more than ten days.

  If he were to travel through the entire state, he would need more than a month, or even more than two months.

  If one were to travel through the ten states of the Yi Yang Sect. It might take much longer.

  Of course, the distance couldn't be calculated like that.   

  However, for the greatness of the One Sun Sect, He Song had a bottom in his heart.

  At least there wouldn't be any jokes because of this matter.

  Along the way, listening to Su Qian's sweet voice, the silhouettes of the two of them gradually drifted away.

  Not long after.

  The duo came to a row of bookshelves.

  Casually taking down a jade slip from the bookshelf, Su Qian handed it to He Song.

  "Senior, this is a map of the Cloud State, the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop here belongs to the Cloud State, and that Eight Veins Immortal City not far away is the Immortal City that manages the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop."

  "This map of Cloud State is not a rare item, it only requires one spirit stone."

  Not caring about Su Qian's later words, after learning that this was a map of Yunzhou, He Song just wanted to probe out his divine sense to read the information in the jade slip.

  However, his figure was slightly lurched, and he casually pasted the jade slip on his forehead.

  At the same time, He Song's heart was also secretly saying that it was so dangerous.

  Just now, he almost forgot that the Qi Practicing Stage did not have divine sense, and his current cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Practicing.

  If he had just explored his divine sense to read the jade slip, I'm afraid that his identity as a Foundation Establishment Realist would be immediately exposed.

  Although it is unlikely to cause too much trouble, but even if it is a small trouble, for He Song at this moment, it is also something he is not willing to accept.

  Fortunately, He Song reacted in time and stuck the jade slip on his forehead.

  Otherwise

  After attaching the jade slip to his forehead, an introduction about Yunzhou, as well as a map of the location of an Immortal City and an Immortal Workshop within Yunzhou, quickly appeared in He Song's mind.

  Even the mountains and rivers of Yunzhou were recorded in this jade slip, and even the giant cities where mortals lived were recorded.

  In this way, the information recorded within this jade slip could be described as detailed and incomparable.

  Even when He Song had read it, he felt that he suddenly had a rough understanding of Yunzhou.

  He also saw the location of the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop in the map and compared it to what he had seen when he arrived, and only after realizing that there were no mistakes or omissions on the map did he let go of his heart.

  Removing the jade brief from his forehead.

  He Song gazed at Su Qian.

  "Not bad, here are ten spirit stones."

  "Can you please help me search for a jade slip that has information about the surrounding area?"

  "If there is a larger, more detailed map, that would be great."

  Casually giving ten spirit stones, He Song didn't care about Su Qian's suddenly brightened gaze and casually asked.

  Ten spirit stones.

  Only one of them was what He Song needed to give to memorize the map.

  The remaining nine spirit stones were all Su Qian's.

  For Su Qian, a tiny Immortal Workshop cultivator whose cultivation was only at the third level of Qi cultivation, these ten spirit stones given by He Song were already a lot.

  "Yes, yes, senior wait a moment, I'll go get them for you."

  Collecting the ten spirit stones handed over by He Song, Su Qian's eyes were glowing.

  Her silhouette, also accompanied by thumping footsteps quickly went away, but it was He Song who went to look for the Jade Simplification he wanted.

  In this place Spiritual Skill Pavilion has stayed for several years she, for some from other places to come to this place, also received a lot of people.

  This kind of foreign cultivators want to know the information, she is naturally clear.

  What do foreign cultivators need when they first arrive here?

  Map.

  Definitely the first place.

  And the distribution of forces around.

  Is the second.

  The description of the surrounding opportunities.

  Is third.

  The surrounding forces or people that cannot be messed with.

  That's number four.

  The local conditions, and so on and so forth.

  Instead, it was the last place.

  She had followed many cultivators in their personal search for these things, and naturally knew exactly what these cultivators' needs were.

  Therefore, when He Song threw out ten spirit stones, wanting her to help find these things out, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

  Each of these things was only one spirit stone.

  Even if He Song did not give her any more spirit stones in the future, she would still be able to earn a difference of five spirit stones from the ten that He Song had given her.

  Even if He Song casually gave more spirit stones, she would be able to earn even more.

  With this motivation.

  Su Qian naturally became more attentive to He Song's orders.

  Moreover, she was able to meet up with He Song, mainly because He Song had caught her hiding in the corner and groping for fish.

  Originally, she was prepared to draw closer to He Song so that He Song wouldn't tell the truth about this matter.

  Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally would not let go of the chance to perform in front of He Song.

  In response.

  He Song watched Su Qian's figure go away.

  A hint of a smile also flashed across his eyes.

  Previously, when looking for someone to guide the way for him, He Song could not only find Su Qian alone, there were also several other people who did not have other cultivators beside them.

  However, the one who was groping for fish at that time happened to be Su Qian alone.

  This was the reason why He Song chose Su Qian as his guide.

  First, he grabbed the other party's small handle, and then he used the spirit stone to make the other party unable to refuse his request.

  This was the plan that He Song had thought of early on.

  This way, He Song would naturally be able to get what he wanted as soon as possible.

  Even if his request was slightly excessive, he thought that under the premise of being caught by himself with a small handle, plus the temptation of the spirit stones, Su Qian would not make any overreaction.
