Chapter 185 Immortal Palace Ruins
Windless tunnel, quiet room.
The fire calamity among the five elements has another nice name – the blazing fire alchemy body.
The highest pursuit of the body-building exercise in the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" - the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art is to achieve a golden body, with skin like copper, bones like steel, tendons like lead, and blood like mercury.
But that's just a wishful thinking.
After all, the flesh is fragile. If one wants to withstand the constant scorching of fire and become as immortal as Gengjin, one must at least pass the tests of gold, wood, and water.
Otherwise, the body will eventually be burned to charcoal.
Qin Mo originally planned to practice fire calamity in Fenxiang Valley using the Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Array set up there, but his cultivation level increased too quickly, so he had to leave the Zhuxian subcontinent early.
Fortunately, there is still a good place to go - Fulong Ding.
After the Yin-Yang Fire Chamber was ignited, the Fulong Ding became a top-level alchemy furnace. The Yin-Yang Double Fire Formation composed of Netherworld Ice Flame and Pure Yang True Fire was no worse than the Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Formation.
Qin Mo was preparing to place himself in the cauldron for refinement just like refining an elixir.
This completes the fire disaster.
The standard for training is also very simple. The membrane remains intact without any damage in the flames.
The windless tunnel gradually quieted down...
…
Just as Qin Mo was in seclusion to cultivate his body, Lu Xueqi and his party also arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.
Diao Chan rode the beautiful Zouwu, gave Yan Chixia's white dragon horse to Lu Xueqi, and rode a skinny horse herself. Behind the three of them were four strange monks.
The leaders were Li Bingyun and Zhou Hui.
Speaking of experience, it is nothing more than slaying demons, punishing evil, or being chivalrous and righteous.
Among Qin Mo's three disciples, except for Lu Xueqi who has a stronger sense of justice, Yan Chixia has been wandering around the world since he was a child, seeing all kinds of people in the world, and has long lost his innocence. He has always been a person who will not do anything without benefits.
Diao Chan, who had just come down the mountain, seemed a little at a loss.
As soon as the three of them entered Blackwater City, they ran into Li Bingyun and his group.
Li Bingyun did not dare to be negligent and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.
As Qin Mo's personal disciples, Lu Xueqi and the other two naturally have a high status in Blackwater City.
"Are you three going down the mountain to gain experience?" Li Bingyun was surprised and showed joy on his face.
"Yes, I heard that you are in charge of the affairs of the monks in Blackwater City. Are there any bounty missions? The higher the difficulty, the better." Ever since his private money was taken away by his master, Yan Chixia has been obsessed with making money.
Li Bingyun's expression changed, and he smiled and said, "There is a treasure hunting mission."
"Treasure hunting?"
Yan Chixia's eyes sparkled with gold, and his interest was immediately aroused. "What treasure?"
"A swordsman accidentally obtained a treasure map, which showed that there was an immortal mansion in the Zhongnan Mountains, and that experts were recruiting to travel with them," Li Bingyun explained.
"The immortal's mansion? It must be a lie!" Yan Chixia's eyes dimmed.
He has seen many tricks like this.
"I sent people to investigate. Although it may not be an immortal cave, it is definitely an abandoned cave. However, there is a Yuanying stage demon king entrenched on the top of the mountain, so it is not easy to attack." Li Bingyun said.
Yan Chixia glanced at Lu Xueqi inconspicuously and said with a smile: "It's just a Yuanying stage monster, it's not worth much. The key is how to distribute the treasure after finding it."
"That man said that as long as you help him find the cave, he will only take one treasure." Li Bingyun said.
You know,
Those who hang out in Black Water City all year round are basically all players below the Jindan stage. With their strength alone, if they really want to enter Zhongnan Mountain, they would be like delivering dinner to the monsters.
If you can get a treasure, you should be content.
Yan Chixia was already tempted, but she didn't dare to make a decision on her own. She looked at Lu Xueqi and said with a playful smile: "Senior Sister, you see, it's also a training, why don't we go to that Zhongnan Mountain?"
If you want to get rid of the Nascent Soul monster, Lu Xueqi has to take action.
"good!"
Lu Xueqi nodded.
After obtaining Qin Mo's true teachings, Lu Xueqi's cultivation improved rapidly. Combined with the accumulation of the previous few years, she broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul not long ago.
During the Nascent Soul stage, she dared to fight.
Just like this, organized by Li Bingyun, a group of people embarked on a treasure hunt.
In addition to Li Bingyun and Zhou Hui, the four players include Xue Yunyi, the owner of the treasure map, and Shao Fei, the swordsman who is good at insect repelling.
The one who rushed to Zhongnan Mountain for reconnaissance was Shao Fei.
What is somewhat strange is that, along the way, as the owner of the treasure map, Xue Yunyi seemed to be preoccupied after Li Bingyun asked Lu Xueqi and three other great gods to help.
Look up at the sky from time to time.
Li Bingyun just thought Xue Yunyi was excited and didn't take it seriously.
…
According to the description on the treasure map, the immortal palace is located at Xianjiao Peak on the outskirts of Zhongnan Mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Yan Chixia volunteered: "Senior Sister, let me go and investigate something." His strange flying armor combined with the earth escape technique was incredibly fast and was the perfect weapon for both life-saving and reconnaissance.
In comparison, Shao Fei is basically a younger brother.
"Um."
Lu Xueqi nodded lightly.
Yan Chixia had long been accustomed to his senior sister's indifference. He put on his strange flying armor, dived into the ground, and disappeared in an instant.
When Shao Fei saw this, he was extremely envious.
About half an hour later, Yan Chixia returned with a serious expression, saying, "Big Sister, I have checked carefully . There is a middle-Nascent Soul stage centipede monster entrenched in Xianjiao Peak. It has four Jindan stage monster generals under its command, and there are more than 300 other small monsters."
Everyone was silent.
From this perspective, even if Lu Xueqi takes action, she may not win.
"Senior Sister, do you think we should formulate a strategy?" Yan Chixia said.
“No, go up the mountain!”
Lu Xueqi was very strong. She was the first to walk up the mountain road, carrying the Tianya sword on her back.
Yan Chixia smiled bitterly and had to follow.
Diao Chan trusted Lu Xueqi very much, and with the exotic beast Zouwu protecting her, she was not afraid and followed with a smile. For the first time, she felt nervous and excited.
Sure enough, everyone has a little adventurous gene in their bones.
"Let's go up too." Li Bingyun had seen big scenes before, and knew that Lu Xueqi was not a reckless person, so he followed her without worry.
"I, I'll wait at the foot of the mountain." Shao Fei hesitantly said.
It’s not that he didn’t have confidence in Lu Xueqi, but he was worried that when a fight broke out, Lu Xueqi and the others might not be able to take care of him.
With his limited cultivation level, his life would be in danger if he was caught up by the two little monsters.
"Okay." Li Bingyun did not force it, and took the initiative to say to Zhou Hui: "Xiaohui, your cultivation is still shallow, why don't you wait at the foot of the mountain with Shao Fei. I will come to pick you up after killing the monster."
"Okay~~~"
Zhou Hui really wanted to go, but she didn't dare to go.
With her cultivation level at the Qi Refining Stage, it was really no different from delivering food. Not to mention the transformed monsters, even a random ninth-grade monster could hurt her.
It was not until then that Zhou Hui realized the huge gap between her and Lu Xueqi and the other two.
I felt a little lost in my heart.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have left the villa..."
As for Xue Yunyi, as the owner of the treasure map and the employer, he himself has the cultivation base in the late stage of foundation building, so he can barely follow them up the mountain.
At the very least, you can protect yourself.
Li Bingyun and Xue Yunyi followed him up the mountain and faintly heard the sound of fighting coming from the front. Just as they were about to catch up, they saw two wolf demon corpses lying on the side of the road.
All were beheaded with one sword.
The two looked at each other, knowing that this must be the work of Lu Xueqi.
As expected, he hates evil.
It’s no wonder that Lu Xueqi is extreme.
In the Zhu Xian sub-continent, all the righteous cultivators who have experienced the beast tide hate the demons so much that they wish to kill them all.
That experience was truly unforgettable.
Just like this, Li Bingyun and Xue Yunyi chased them all the way to the halfway point of Xianjiao Peak, where the centipede monster's cave was located, before they barely caught up with Lu Xueqi and the other two.
There were no less than a hundred monster corpses along the way.
Looking in front of the cave, there were demonic clouds rolling, and the two sides were already fighting each other.
Lu Xueqi held the Tianya Sword and faced the centipede monster. The sword shone brightly and was filled with murderous intent. She had already gained the upper hand and victory was only a matter of time.
Diao Chan used the Acacia-Slaying Dagger and was fighting with a Jindan-stage monster.
Because it was her first actual combat, Diao Chan seemed very nervous, her palms were sweating, and she made mistakes several times. Fortunately, she had a strong foundation and the Zhan Xiangsi was a top-grade magic weapon, so she managed to maintain the balance.
But he was already sweating profusely.
On the other hand, Yan Chixia, although only in the late Jindan stage, was able to entangle the remaining three Jindan stage monsters with his own strength, coming and going like the wind, with ease.
But the difference is obvious.
The strange beast Zouwu stayed by the side of its master Diao Chan, helping her kill the little demons who tried to launch a sneak attack.
The fighting on the field was very lively.
Li Bingyun and Xue Yunyi looked at each other, and they both took out their own magic weapons and charged into the field.
This is a rare opportunity to gain experience points.
How can I miss it.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transformed into divine thunder.
The magnificent power of heaven, guided by the sword! "
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Lu Xueqi decisively used the magic sword to control thunder, because the modified "Shenxiao True Method" was the most orthodox thunder method, and the power of the sword technique was obviously stronger.
As for the "Star-Breaking Sword Technique" that Qin Mo taught her, she had not had time to practice it.
Moreover, the "Star Shattering Sword Technique" was mysterious and unpredictable. Even with Lu Xueqi's extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for her to learn it in a short period of time . Naturally, she had to use the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Technique that she was best at before.
In a moment, dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed on the edge of the black clouds.
There was a solemn atmosphere at the top of Xianjiao Peak, with strong winds blowing backwards.
Lu Xueqi held the Tianya sword in her hand and stepped on the Seven Star Steps, hanging high in the air, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens, with a sense of determination, leading the divine thunder to strike down fiercely.
"Wow~~"
The centipede monster was immediately severely injured, spitting blood and revealing its original form.
Lu Xueqi's expression remained unchanged. She was now able to perform the magic sword to control thunder with ease. Thunder continued to roll down from the sky, each one faster and stronger than the last.
In a flash, the centipede monster was chopped to death.
When the remaining monsters saw this, they scattered and fled for their lives.
Strangely, Lu Xueqi did not pursue, but withdrew the divine thunder and looked into the distance at the distant sky, her brows rarely furrowed and her face solemn.
Yan Chixia and others also looked and saw several streaks of light flying in the blue and white sky.
Xue Yunyi's face turned pale...
