Chapter 222: Treasure Hunt

Chen Shuyan was sure that she was going to do this, so he ran over excitedly to look at the tasks with her, clicking again and again, and took three tasks nearby in a row.

"Don't worry, we two are a golden pair. We won't make any mistakes and will ensure the successful completion of the mission."

Coming out of the mission hall, Chen Shuyan patted Lin Xiaoman on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"good."

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "I'm going to prepare some things. I still have half a month, so it's a good time for me to draw more talismans."

"Okay, I'll go get ready then."

After the two separated, Lin Xiaoman went to Danfeng to buy some elixirs he needed, and also brought back the Ningshen Pill that he had ordered.

She spent all her time afterwards on drawing talismans. She had already replenished the talismans used in Liugouling, so she actually had quite a lot of talismans in reserve now, but... when going out, for a talisman practitioner, it is never too much to prepare as many talismans as possible.

Time passed quickly, and the day of departure arrived in a blink of an eye. Lin Xiaoman took Tuanzi and Zhizhi and ran to meet Chen Shuyan. The two of them flew on their swords towards Qingyun City.

Yes, the place Li Hua invited her to this time was in the Misty Forest outside Qingyun City, and it was relatively close to the depths of the Misty Forest. At that time, there would definitely be no peace along the way.

When they arrived in Qingyun City, they met at the place agreed with Li Hua. Li Hua and Li Qiang were already waiting there.

"Fellow Daoist Lin."

Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming, Li Hua's face lit up with joy and he hurried forward.

"Fellow Daoist Li Hua, Fellow Daoist Li Qiang, this is my fellow senior sister, Chen Shuyan."

Lin Xiaoman bowed to them and then introduced them to Chen Shuyan.

"Daoyou Chen."

After the two sides met and got to know each other, they didn't say much and set off directly to the Misty Forest.

On the way, Li Hua told Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan about how he discovered the place and the mechanisms there.

"From what you said, that place should be close to the depths of the Misty Forest. The probability of a fifth or even sixth-level monster appearing there is relatively high."

Chen Shuyan had spent much more time on missions outside than Lin Xiaoman, and was more familiar with the Misty Forest than she was. After listening to Li Hua talk about this, she immediately had a general understanding.

"Yes, it's closer to the depths of the Misty Forest, so it's more dangerous. But the last time I went there, there were fewer monsters on that road."

"Maybe you were lucky last time. Once you pass the outer edge of the Misty Forest, you have to be extremely careful every step you take inside. You might encounter high-level monsters at any time."

Chen Shuyan frowned, feeling that Li Hua was a little unreliable.

Li Hua wanted to explain after hearing this. He really felt that the road was a bit strange, but he did not encounter any danger on the way.

But seeing Chen Shuyan frowning, he didn't know how to explain it. This thing was so mysterious that it was not an exaggeration to say it was his intuition, but no one would believe it if he told it out loud.

"It's true. When we discovered it, I had just established my foundation, and my brother hadn't done that yet. We got through it safely along the way and came out of the Misty Forest safely."

Li Qiang was anxious when he heard this and spoke up quickly.

"Um?"

Chen Shuyan was surprised. Not only her, but Lin Xiaoman was also shocked. They dared to venture into the depths of the misty forest without building a foundation. They were really brave.

"real!!!"

Li Qiang was afraid that they would not believe him, so he nodded heavily and said.

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan exchanged a glance, then looked at Li Hua and the others, "Then you lead the way, we'll take the same path you took before."

Li Hua was delighted when he heard this, and felt relieved. "Okay, I'll go ahead."

He wanted to assure everyone that nothing would happen, but this was just his intuition, and he hadn't been there for four or five years. He didn't know if anyone had broken in or if there were any other changes to the road.

In the past few years, the two brothers have been practicing hard and have thought about finding others to cooperate with, but they have never met the right one. In addition, they are independent cultivators, and the disciples of those large sects generally seldom believe them. As they are also independent cultivators, they are not very trusting of them, so it has been delayed until now.

Li Hua walked in front, Lin Xiaoman and Li Qiang walked in the middle, and Chen Shuyan walked at the end. The four of them walked forward in silence.

After entering the misty forest and passing through the outer area, Lin Xiaoman felt that the spiritual energy around him was obviously much richer, and the monsters he saw were also stronger, and third-level monsters could be seen from time to time.

However, along the way, they did not see many monsters on the road led by Li Hua. In fact, the monsters they encountered were fewer and weaker than those they encountered in the periphery.

It’s amazing, is there something special about it?

Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but look around out of curiosity, but he really didn't find anything wrong.

The few of them ran for ten days before finally arriving at the place Li Hua mentioned.

"Is this the place you were talking about?"

Lin Xiaoman looked at the stone wall in front of him. It was covered with vines. It was just an ordinary stone wall.

"Well, here, there is a formation. After breaking the formation, you need to learn a talisman to enter the next level. But I only broke the formation at the time, and I couldn't learn the talisman, so I don't know what the next level is."

Lin Xiaoman remembered the reward left by the big boss that Li Hua showed them after he broke through the first level of the formation. It was a complete book of formations. Although it was incomplete, the information related to the formations left on it was very powerful. Although Lin Xiaoman was not a formation cultivator, Wang Tiantian was one, and he sometimes heard her talk about some things.

This is also one of the reasons why she chose to trust Li Hua and others and accepted the invitation.

"Then let's break the formation first."

Lin Xiaoman pondered for a while and then spoke.

As for what happens next, she was thinking about whether to let Chen Shuyan wait outside, so that if something happens inside, they won't be trapped together.

Although they chose to trust the Li Hua brothers, Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan still remained vigilant.

"good."

Li Hua was able to break the outermost formation when he was just at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage. Now that he is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is naturally no problem for him to do so. He was seen moving here and there on the stone wall. It looked chaotic, but if you looked closely, you would find the pattern. Soon, Lin Xiaoman felt a flash of light before her eyes, and the next moment, she and Chen Shuyan were already in another space.

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaoman was surprised and quickly stood back to back with Chen Shuyan, looking around vigilantly.

"Fellow Daoist Li Hua, is this the second level?"

Li Hua and Li Qiang were just like them, standing still.

"Yes, that's where we were at the beginning, but we couldn't move forward, so we had to give up."

Li Hua nodded, then pressed his hand on a smooth stone wall in front of him. The next moment, a huge talisman image appeared on the stone wall.
