Chapter 130: Jindan Cave, Peeping
Chapter 130 Jindan Cave, peeking...peep...
The record of spiritual practice left by Master Changyue records many interesting things. For example, there is a frozen mountain range in the northernmost part of the Immortal World in Yuan Tomb, and there is a tribe of ice apes living in it.
There are very few monks in this clan, they are extremely exclusive, they look human-like, but they are all extremely powerful and can wield the power of ice and cold.
However, the ice aura condensed by the monks of this tribe has a strong assisting effect on the monks' ice spells, so they are hunted by monks of all races.
The Yuan Tomb Cultivation World should be a Cultivation Area similar to the Tiannan Cultivation World. As for where to practice, it is still unclear.
However, Master Changyue's handwritten notes can be spread from the Yuan Tomb Cultivation World to the Tiannan Cultivation World. Coupled with the strength of his Jindan Master, the Yuan Tomb Cultivation World and the Tiannan Cultivation World should not be far apart.
The handbook also records the Chixia Immortal Sect of Yuan Tomb. This sect has produced the largest number of great demons in the immortal cultivation world of Yuan Tomb for tens of thousands of years. They have cruel methods and slaughtered countless people.
But it has been exterminated many times and revived many times, just like weeds, wildfires cannot burn them out, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Master Changyue recorded many of these anecdotes from various places, but what concerned Shen Lian the most were some of the rumors he recorded about the Five Spirit Root cultivators.
For example, some sects specialize in cultivating monks with complete five spiritual roots in order to seize the bodies of the ancestors of the sect.
The Wulinggen monk he met in the Pure Land Immortal City who had a hatred of seizing beauty was the Seed of Seizing Seed cultivated by his sect, Jingchen Sect.
The matter of seizing a body is not something that is easy to publicize. At least Shen Lian has never heard of cultivating the body of seizing a body in Ten Thousand Stars Sea for so long.
But in the records of Changyue Master, it seems that it is not that mysterious, and it seems to be explained openly.
Before that, Shen Lian only knew that the Five Spiritual Roots involved the Five Elements Immortal Palace. The Yuanying Ancestors needed monks who had mastered the Five Spiritual Roots to enter the Five Elements Immortal Palace to find treasures.
This was proved by the Five Spiritual Root monks recruited from outside by Yunshang Sect to cultivate the five-color stones, and the Five Elements Mountain refined by Pei Huoyu.
Now there is another theory that the five spiritual roots seize the body as a spare tire.
Five spiritual roots... To be precise, five spiritual roots with high spiritual root scales are very dangerous.
From now on it is no longer a matter of being careful.
But...
Be as careful as you can.
A monk with perfect five spiritual roots, the ancestor of the gods, might dare to give up thousands of years of practice, and look down on him to seize his body.
At that time, all the ancestors of the gods in the entire world of cultivating immortals will have to come and snatch him away.
As for Nascent Soul...
Go, go, go, the game of the Ancestor of Transformation God, the garbage Nascent Soul, go away.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian shuddered.
He shook his palm and a spiritual fire ignited, burning the jade slip into ashes.
The content has been memorized, but unfortunately there is no volume (continuation).
Master Changyue's manuscripts are incomplete because the last part is too expensive, costing 30,000 spirit stones, and comes with a map of the master's enthronement.
"I don't know how many people have purchased this codex and obtained the map of the enthroned Chang Yue."
Shen Lian was not interested in the map of the place of sitting and transformation. He was interested in Master Changyue's experiences and descriptions of various realms of cultivation.
Although not much is said about it, for Shen Lian, it would be of great benefit to him if he could obtain the cultivation experience of a real person who had reached the early stage of Golden Elixir.
For example, how strong is the golden elixir’s spiritual consciousness, what changes will occur in the spiritual energy in the Dantian before advancing to the ninth level of foundation building, and so on.
As expected of someone who runs a pawn shop, he has a really dark heart. The contents of the first three volumes are mostly anecdotes and strange things, and there is no relevant cultivation experience or experience at all about the ninth level of foundation building.
After purchasing 30,000 spiritual stones, Shen Lian is not afraid of spending spiritual stones.
I'm afraid that there will be another back-up plan from the pawnshop.
The experiences recorded in the Golden Elixir Period are divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. Don't underestimate the bottom line of profiteers, they can do this.
Six thousand spiritual stones bought a warning, and Shen Lian was the only one.
After eating and drinking in the restaurant, he walked around the city a few times. After making sure that no one was following him, he returned to his grocery store.
…
Haijiao Immortal City is protected by formations and has the rules of Master Heixuan, which prohibits fighting in the city, so Shen Lian's life is still very stable.
But that's not the case outside the city. There are fightings every day. The monks who died that day will appear in the ghost market that night and be put on the shelves at an extremely fresh speed.
Then, they will be pocketed by monks wearing black robes who don’t know where they came from.
For this reason, the city also spawned a profession of corpse collectors.
Don't get me wrong, you're not going to fish out corpses from the sea, but your family members died while fighting outside, and you paid these people to go to the ghost market to retrieve the bodies.
You have to spend the spiritual stones that should be spent, and don’t think about storing magic weapons, magic weapons, etc. on your loved ones. If you can get a whole corpse back, it is regarded as a virtuous ancestor.
The Cape Fairy City on the high cliff is like a barrier, separating the chaos at sea from the tranquility in the city.
After entering the city, everyone is obviously a new era of immortal cultivators who know how to advance and retreat, understand etiquette, and follow order. When they leave the city... Let's start!
Of course, this kind of fighting stopped before the golden elixir. Even the fights between the eighth and ninth-level foundation-building monks were rare. Most of them were fights between low-level foundation-building and Qi-training monks.
Besides, everyone knows the local characteristics of the Haijiao Fairy City sea area. Various forces and monks come here to buy spiritual items, so they will be fully prepared.
Moreover, the monks who do business without capital are not foolhardy, and they know who they should not mess with. Needless to say, they would run hundreds of miles ahead of time when encountering a powerful fleet or spiritual ship.
Under the night.
The door of Anxin Grocery Store was closed.
[Calm down, perception points +2]
[Calm down, perception points +1]
[Calm down, perception points +1]

[God has no external things, divine perception points +1]
…
On the second floor, Shen Lian was practicing quietly. There were formations hidden around the room, and there were five-element spirit puppets hidden inside wooden tables and chairs, flower pots, water basins, and gold and stone ornaments.
Further out, there were also small early warning formations set up in many places on the streets around his grocery store, distributed on roofs, street corners, floor tiles, eaves, etc.
As long as there was a slight movement, the spirit puppets would react instantly.
In addition to these, there was also Dahei!
Common black-horned ants crawled through the cracks between bricks and tiles, corner eaves, roadside mounds, and under furniture and water tanks.
In the Immortal City, Shen Lian did not dare to release the demonized black-horned ants, not only because of their aura, but also because they were too big.
The entire Anxin Grocery Store, a dozen streets in front and behind, was crawling with black-horned ants.
With these conveniences, Shen Lian also made a deal and had one and only regular customer.
Let me make it clear first, he didn't mean to peek.
It was really the sequelae left by Pei Huoyu touching him. He just wanted to confirm whether the surroundings were safe and whether anyone was touching him.
Let me reiterate once again, coincidence, really coincidence...
One time, when the divine mind was patrolling as usual, it was found that Lao Wang, who was selling seafood at the same street corner, was a little weak.
As a result, Lao Wang would quietly come to Anxin Grocery Store every month to buy two happy pills.
In more than a year since he came to Haijiao Xiancheng, Shen Lian's defensive measures have been alarmed dozens of times, an average of two or three times a month.
It is forbidden to fight in the fairy city, but there are still cultivators doing small tricks under the cover of night, such as passing through the room and chasing each other.
He also found a group of cultivators living in a nearby block, discussing in the room to do a no-cost business.
Shen Lian let these small things happen as long as they don't hit him.
After all, these things will happen no matter where they are.
In the past, he was not strong enough to see them, but now Shen Lian just watched the environment change quietly.
Early morning.
As the sun rose, Shen Lian woke up from his practice, got up, combed his muscles, and began to open the door of the grocery store.
His shop was too remote, belonging to the southeast corner of Haijiao Xiancheng. In order to look normal, he asked the puppet talisman man to patronize it several times a month.
Otherwise, it would be a bit strange if no one came to buy spiritual objects after opening for so long.
Not only his own, but other shops on this street would also patronize him. Otherwise, if other shops were closed, he would be conspicuous if he didn't.
The Taoist friends on the whole street could not imagine that it was him, Shen, who took everything.
After opening the door, he sat cross-legged behind the counter, took the tendon-strengthening pill and continued to practice.
Because he had taken it more often, Shen Lian, who was refining the tendon-strengthening pill, no longer had the idea of blushing and wanting the fairy sister.
After a day, his cultivation was not disturbed at all, and it was another day with zero income.
Under the cover of night, the puppet talisman man went out again and continued to sell the refined pills in batches. If he didn't take advantage of the current bull market to earn more spiritual stones, he wouldn't be able to earn so much after the expedition of the Wanxinghai Sect was over.
The ghost market was still very lively, and the birds were chirping.
That night, a message suddenly came out in the ghost market that a cave left behind by a Jindan Zhenren was found near the Cape Fairy City.
No one knew which black-sailed boat the message came from, but it spread in the ghost market at a very fast speed.
You know, no cultivator who came to the Cape Fairy City to buy spiritual objects would miss the ghost market.
For a while, all kinds of news were flying all over the sky.
Even the puppet jade talisman man, who changed his identity several times and sold pills several times, was lingering in his ears with these news.
In the morning, Shen Lian, whose aura was concealed to the ninth level of Qi training, went to the morning market at the pier as usual to pick up some broken spiritual objects to sell, and took back the puppet talisman.
The morning market at the pier was full of things along the pier by the water. Looking over, all kinds of messy things came into view.
"The cave of Immortal Yingshui is on Huangsha Island, 5,000 miles away. Someone discovered the restriction outside the cave."
"That's Immortal Yingshui. Xuanhai Sect invited him to join the sect as a guest elder, but Immortal Yingshui declined."
"I didn't expect Immortal Yingshui to sit and die near our Haijiao Fairy City."
"What a pity. I haven't heard that Immortal Yingshui had a Taoist partner. It's a pity that he lived alone all his life until he sat and died."
...
"Immortal Yingshui is a strange man. He came out of a casual cultivator and advanced to the Golden Core all the way. He is a role model for my generation of cultivators."
The news of the cave of the Golden Core Immortal was also spread among the cultivators traveling on the pier, and the eyes of each cultivator flashed with yearning.
After Shen Lian stood in the water and took back the jade talisman, he bought some shells with spiritual light and walked towards the city.
However, he walked very slowly, his mind immersed in the storage bag brought back by the puppet talisman man, checking the spiritual stones inside.
Among the more than 6,000 spiritual stones, more than a dozen of them had strange auras left on them.
See, the characteristics.
Shen Lian was no longer surprised by such things.
I don’t know why, is it that this is the trend in the world of immortal cultivation? Anyway, there are too many cultivators who want to make extra money.
After baptizing the spirit stone, Shen Lian put it into his storage bracelet with confidence, and then walked quickly towards the grocery store.
In today's Haijiao Fairy City, Yingshui Zhenren's cave has become the number one topic list of the fairy city.
"Yingshui Zhenren?"
Shen Lian returned to the grocery store, and went directly to the second floor to take out the alchemy furnace without even opening the door.
When the furnace lid was opened, a piece of spiritual potato was thrown in, ready to continue refining the first-level elixir.
That night, the warning formations arranged at various intersections were triggered many times, and the figures passing through the streets and roofs were several times more than the previous few nights.
There were also divine thoughts sweeping across this area, and also sweeping into the second floor where Shen Lian practiced.
However, he didn't care, and the moment the divine thoughts swept over, he locked the target monk.
An old man with high cheekbones, bald and hairless, was quietly sipping tea on the second floor of a shop on the next street.
"Senior Yun, this place belongs to the remote area of Xiancheng, and here are some Qi training level cultivators making a living."
There is also a young man in blue in the room.
"Yeah."
The bald old man nodded, "Yes, you chose a good place. I just checked it with my divine sense. The streets in front and behind are full of Qi training ants."
"Senior is extremely powerful, and I admire you."
The young man in blue smiled, "I asked Senior Yun to come here because I want you to scare the people of the Yang family, and then I will..."
"Can you save the beauty and take the little girl of the Yang family back?"
Senior Yun looked at the young cultivator with a smile.
The young man didn't care, "The ancestor of my family asked me to take down the woman of the Yang family, and I have no choice. Please help me, Senior Yun. I will return to the family and will definitely inform the ancestor of my family about this matter."
...
Grocery store, after confirming that there was no threat, Shen Lian slowly withdrew his divine sense.
He had spied on this kind of shitty things countless times in the past year.
Before, when his divine consciousness was not so powerful, he was still worried and troubled. Now that his divine consciousness is comparable to that of the fake Dan Zhenren, he is also troubled.
He wiped the spiritual beast bracelet with his palm, and Dahei fell in front of him, and then a breath-retaining talisman lit up on his body.
Dahei also knew why Shen Lian released it, and quickly crawled downstairs and got into the floor tiles to connect with his own people.
Not long after, Dahei came back and returned to the spiritual beast bracelet.
Shen Lian immersed his divine consciousness in it, "Is there any movement?"
Every few days, he would let Dahei come out to connect with the released black-horned ants to make sure there was no movement that threatened him nearby.
In the fairy city, there are many plants, houses, mountains and pools, and naturally there are many insects and ants. Black-horned ants are not noticeable among these insects and ants.
"Master... my people said that a lot of them were eaten by something."
Black-horned ants have many natural enemies, even ants of the same tribe will eat black-horned ants.
Shen Lian didn't care that the black-horned ants were eaten. He had discarded countless black-horned ants over the years, so it didn't matter if a few were eaten.
...
Somewhere in the Immortal City, a large wooden beam had long been eaten away, and a round, soft green insect was sleeping soundly inside.
