Chapter 230: Reconnaissance in Advance

Under Su Qian's eager gaze, He Song's expression remained calm, and he said casually.

He came here.

Only for a map.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Skill Pavilion here was really too big, and that rashly saying that he wanted a detailed map of One Yang Sect might attract unwanted attention.

He might have directly said that he wanted a detailed map of One Yang Sect.

After all, what he was going to do next required the specific locations of various immortal markets and immortal cities, as well as the routes needed to travel from various places to other places.

With these things.

He could quickly determine where was suitable for him to build a concealed cave dwelling.

Only.

An outside cultivator.

Asking for a detailed map of One Yang Sect as soon as he opened his mouth, what was he planning to do?.

Gathering intelligence?.

Probing for weaknesses?.

Reconnaissance in advance?.

Putting himself in others' shoes, He Song felt that if he encountered this situation, he would definitely have doubts.

Perhaps, he would make some trouble.

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

As for what kind of map it was.

That would have to be seen to be known.

Therefore.

When facing 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 hearing He Song's request, Su Qian thought for a moment, and then quickly led He Song to another place.

And while constantly leading the way for He Song, she did not forget to chat with He Song, seemingly trying to use this method to get closer to He Song, so that He Song would not have a bad impression of her previous behavior.

He Song found this amusing, but he also chatted with her casually.

As a newcomer, He Song also needed to deepen his understanding of this place.

However.

When it came to He Song being new to One Yang Sect's territory, Su Qian's eyes lit up and she began to introduce He Song to the various aspects of One Yang Sect.

According to Su Qian's introduction, He Song quickly gained a certain understanding of One Yang Sect.

One Yang Sect, occupied an extremely vast area.

The areas where Golden Core sects like Earth Sect, Golden Sword Sect, Pure Yin Sect, Qiong Hua Sect, and so on were located were only the outermost periphery of One Yang Sect's sphere of influence.

The locations of these Golden Core sects were the buffer zone between One Yang Sect and other Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

And within the vast sphere of influence of One Yang Sect, just like other Golden Core sects, immortal markets, immortal cities, and immortal prefectures were established to govern various regions.

Immortal markets and immortal cities were no different from those of Golden Core sects.

But immortal prefectures were above immortal cities, and were higher centers used to manage immortal cities.

One immortal prefecture governed at least twenty immortal cities, and it was not impossible to have thirty.

An immortal city governed three to five immortal markets.

The range that an immortal market could cover was basically hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles away.

And One Yang Sect, governed a total of ten immortal prefectures.

In other words, there were at least two hundred immortal cities under the jurisdiction of One Yang Sect, and it was even possible that the number of immortal cities under its actual jurisdiction was three hundred.

You know.

Earth Sect, as a Golden Core sect, only had four immortal cities, not even a prefecture.

Even if it took over the sphere of influence of Seven Stars Sect, the number of immortal cities it owned changed from four to eight.

But eight immortal cities still didn't even have a prefecture.

And One Yang Sect?

It governed a total of ten immortal prefectures, and there were nearly three hundred immortal cities.

Such a sphere of influence was almost a hundred times that of a normal Golden Core sect.

He Song just made a rough calculation in his mind, and found that the sphere of influence of One Yang Sect was frighteningly large.

No wonder.

No wonder One Yang Sect could arbitrarily use several immortal cities as a buffer zone with other Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

No wonder One Yang Sect could continuously give birth to Nascent Soul old monsters.

No wonder One Yang Sect could arbitrarily command the Golden Core sects under its command.

No wonder.

In such a huge Nascent Soul Upper Sect, the various spirit objects within its sphere of influence were naturally countless.

At the same time, He Song also had some doubts about his previous idea of buying a detailed map of One Yang Sect.

This Flying Cloud Immortal Market was quite remote.

Perhaps.

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

At most, he might only be able to buy a map of a prefecture here?.

A prefecture usually governed more than twenty immortal cities, such a vast area, He Song had never seen since he descended into the cultivation world.

Back in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market, he thought that Green Wall Immortal City was already very big.

When he was in Green Wall Immortal City, he felt that Earth Sect was also very big.

When he was in Earth Sect, he felt that the surrounding Golden Core sects were very big.

It wasn't until he stepped out of Earth Sect and came to the sphere of influence of a Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

That he suddenly realized.

This One Yang Sect was truly big.

Too big!.

He Song traveled from Earth Sect's Hundred Herb Immortal Market to here, passing through only a few immortal cities.

It had already taken He Song more than ten days.

You know, He Song was now at mid-Foundation Establishment, and his speed when transforming into a beam of light was extremely fast.

Under such circumstances, passing through several immortal cities still took more than ten days.

If he traveled through a prefecture, it would probably take more than a month, or even more than two months.

If he traveled through the ten prefectures of One Yang Sect. who knows how long it would take.

Of course, distance cannot be calculated like this.

However, He Song also had a good understanding of the size of One Yang Sect.

At least he wouldn't make a fool of himself because of this.

Listening to Su Qian's sweet voice all the way, the figures of the two gradually moved away.

Shortly after.

The two came to a row of bookshelves.

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

"Senior, this is the map of Cloud Prefecture, this Flying Cloud Immortal Market belongs to Cloud Prefecture, and the Eight Vein Immortal City not far away is the immortal city that manages Flying Cloud Immortal Market."

"This map of Cloud Prefecture is not a treasure, it only costs one spirit stone."

Not paying attention to Su Qian's later words, after learning that this was a map of Cloud Prefecture, He Song just wanted to send out his divine sense to read the information in the jade slip.

But his body paused slightly, and he casually put the jade slip on his forehead.

At the same time, He Song also thought it was a close call.

He almost forgot that Qi Condensation stage cultivators did not have divine sense, and his cultivation level currently shown was only the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

If he had just sent out his divine sense to read the jade slip, his identity as a Foundation Establishment True Person would have been immediately exposed.

Although it was unlikely to cause too much trouble, even small trouble was something that He Song did not want to accept at this moment.

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

Otherwise.

After putting the jade slip on his forehead, He Song's mind quickly appeared with an introduction to Cloud Prefecture, as well as a location map of the immortal cities and immortal markets within Cloud Prefecture.

Even, this jade slip also recorded the mountains and rivers of Cloud Prefecture, the direction of the rivers, and even the giant cities where mortals lived.

This way, the information recorded in this jade slip was extremely detailed.

Even after He Song read it, he felt that he suddenly had a rough understanding of Cloud Prefecture.

He also saw the location of Flying Cloud Immortal Market in the map, and compared it with what he saw when he came, and found that there were no errors on the map, he was relieved.

Taking the jade slip from his forehead.

He Song looked at Su Qian.

"Not bad, here are ten spirit stones."

"Could you please help me find jade slips about the surrounding information?"

"If there is a larger and more detailed map, that would be even better."

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

Ten spirit stones.

Only one of them was for He Song to record the map.

The remaining nine spirit stones were all for Su Qian.

For Su Qian, a small immortal market cultivator with a cultivation of only the third level of Qi Condensation, the ten spirit stones that He Song gave were already a lot.

"Yes, yes, senior, please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away."

Putting away the ten spirit stones that He Song handed over, Su Qian's eyes were shining.

Her figure, accompanied by the sound of deng deng deng footsteps, quickly moved away, going to find the jade slips that He Song wanted.

She had been in this Spirit Skill Pavilion for several years, and she had also received many people who came here from other places.

She naturally knew what information these outside cultivators wanted.

What do outside cultivators need when they first arrive?.

Maps.

Definitely the first.

And the distribution of surrounding forces.

Is the second.

A description of the surrounding opportunities.

Is the third.

The forces or people around that cannot be provoked.

Is the fourth.

The customs and customs of the surrounding area, and so on.

The last one, instead.

These things, she had searched for with many cultivators, and naturally knew what these cultivators needed.

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

Each of these things was only one spirit stone.

Even if He Song didn't give her any more spirit stones later, she could still earn a price difference of five spirit stones from the ten spirit stones that He Song gave.

Even, if He Song casually gave out a few more spirit stones, she could earn even more.

With this motivation.

Su Qian was naturally more attentive to He Song's instructions.

Moreover, the main reason she and He Song were able to meet was because He Song caught her slacking off in the corner.

Originally, she was going to get closer to He Song, so that He Song would not tell others about this matter.

Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to perform in front of He Song.

Regarding this.

After watching Su Qian's figure move away.

A smile also flashed in He Song's eyes.

Before, when looking for someone to guide him, He Song found not only Su Qian, but also several other people who were not accompanied by other cultivators.

However, at that time, only Su Qian was slacking off.

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

First, grab the other party's weakness, and then use spirit stones to make the other party unable to refuse his request.

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

This way, He Song could naturally get what he wanted as soon as possible.

Even if his request was a little excessive, he thought that under the premise that his weakness was caught and there was the temptation of spirit stones, Su Qian would not make any extreme reactions.
