Ling Yunpo quickly activated the sword light and swept his spiritual sense over the treasures in the surrounding caves, which made his heart surge.
There are many treasure caves in Huoyuan Cave, and the one everyone is in now is the third cave deep inside.
The rare treasures inside are much rarer than those in the first and second caves.
For example, there are almost countless tenth-order flying swords and magic weapons, as well as various elixirs, rare treasures, and so on.
Ling Yunpo even saw a fragment of a scripture on Purple Mansion Thunder, which was the seventh of the ten kinds of thunder techniques that Qiu Changtian wanted to collect.
If it weren't for the mercury elixir, he would have almost been unable to resist changing it.
Continuing to suppress the sword light for a moment, Ling Yunpo saw a candlestick in a cave with a tiny flame flickering on it.
This is a trace of the Sun's True Yang Fire, one of the Five Elements True Veins! A must-have for the Five Elements Divine Light to upgrade!
"No, endure it! You have to endure it!" Ling Yunpo brainwashed himself repeatedly, forcibly suppressing the fierce urge to take the innate fire, and continued to lower the sword light.
Only self-cultivation is fundamental! All external things and external methods are false!
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Senior Sister An suddenly calling him from below:
"Junior brother!"
Ling Yunpo quickly turned into a sword light and rushed to An Zhisu's side.
Sure enough, in the cave next to her, she saw about a spoonful of mercury cinnabar liquid in a small bottle.
"Senior sister, you..." Ling Yunpo was about to say something when he was interrupted by An Zhisu, "You go get it first, I'll look for it later."
"Okay." Ling Yunpo didn't hesitate. Anyway, if my senior sister didn't find the second bottle of gold-mercury elixir, I would exchange this bottle with her. It would be the same.
He took the golden mercury elixir liquid, and circled around on the sword light, noting the positions of the previous purple mansion thunder and the great sun true yang fire. Finally, he quickly rose to a higher altitude and returned to the side of the Golden Elixir Master.
Although Jindan Zhenren was high in the sky with his eyes closed to rest, he was actually monitoring the movements of everyone below through the Xuanguang ruler.
At this time, when Lingyun Po's sword light turned back, he also knew that the other party had taken the golden mercury elixir, but he just nodded lightly and said nothing.
Soon, Lin Duanshan and Duan Fenhai returned one after another.
About ten minutes later, An Zhisu also rose into the air riding on the sword light. Yaoyao and Ling Yunpo nodded and smiled, meaning that she had found it too.
A quarter of an hour was almost gone, but Guan Shanyue was still searching below. Her sword light was flying extremely fast, making a circle in almost an instant, and then circling quickly to the next level.
Suddenly, she stretched out her hand like lightning and took something from a cave. Then, she immediately merged her body with the sword and turned into a stream of light, rising rapidly!
Liu Guang stopped abruptly in front of Jindan Zhenren, revealing Guan Shanyue's tired face, and said with a smile:
"May I ask, has the time limit expired?"
"Just a few more breaths." Jindan Zhenren said lightly, waving the Xuanguang ruler again, separating out flowers of light that covered everyone's bodies, and then he raised the sword light and left.
Everyone made twists and turns in the Huoyuan Cave, and saw the colorful light on the Xuanguang ruler, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. Everyone followed Jindan Zhenren left and right, and finally passed through a long vertical corridor, finally leaving the depths of the underground and returning to the canyon.
"Three days later at noon, gather at the top of the Leidongping Cliff and enter the Demon Locking Tower for the trial!"
As Jindan Zhenren uttered these words, the sword light shot up into the sky and headed towards the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain.
Everyone also activated their swords and left impatiently. Only An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo kept pace with each other, talking and laughing all the way, and slowly returned to the Taoist temple on Qingluo Peak.
"Senior Sister, did you get the Gold-Mercury Danhua Liquid?" Ling Yunpo asked for confirmation as soon as he entered the Taoist temple.
"Yes, I got it." An Zhisu took out a transparent bottle from his sleeve. Inside the bottle was a ball of golden liquid, which was rolling and bouncing at the bottom of the bottle, as if it had a spirit.
"Very good, senior sister, please go to the inner room and refine it first. I will protect you outside." Ling Yunpo said immediately.
An Zhisu nodded. After all, there was nothing wrong with what her junior brother said. So she turned and walked towards the secret room in the mountain, where Su Jian was in seclusion.
Ling Yunpo was standing outside, taking out the gold-mercury elixir he had obtained, and secretly making plans in his mind.
According to common sense, such a precious thing that can improve the quality of the elixir should be taken as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.
However, Ling Yunpo himself has not yet reached the Huafu level.
If the Purple Palace is not formed, if you take the Gold-Mercury Danhua Liquid, it will harden the Dantian and become a poison.
Therefore, you have to find a place to store it properly.
After thinking about it, it seems that it can only be placed in the secret room in the belly of Qingluo Peak. If it is placed anywhere else, it seems that there is a risk of being stolen...
He pondered anxiously for a long time, and finally waited until An Zhisu had refined the medicine and came out of seclusion.
At this time, Senior Sister An had changed into a light yellow dress. Her hair was fixed with a jade hairpin, and the excess hair was braided into a braid that fell from the side of her neck to her chest, making her look exceptionally soft and charming.
Seeing that his senior sister's spirit was restrained and her eyes were deep, Ling Yunpo knew that she had already perfected her Purple Mansion and her realm had greatly increased, which was equivalent to an extra sixty years of hard practice.
"Senior Sister, how is the refining going?"
"Very good." An Zhisu replied with a smile, "This golden mercury elixir is indeed a rare item for foundation building. Every time I refine a little bit, my purple palace will become a little more perfect."
"In the end, the inner wall of the Dantian was almost as white as snow and as bright as jade, and the foundation of Taoism was much more stable than before."
"Senior Sister." Ling Yunpo said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, your Purple Palace is approaching perfection and has entered the so-called 'Jade Palace' realm."
"Based on past experience, anyone who builds a Jade Palace before forming a golden elixir has about a 70% chance of forming a third-grade golden elixir."
"If the elixir is of top quality, then the Nascent Soul will hopefully become an Immortal Infant. After the Immortal Infant is formed, there will be a chance for the physical body to become a Saint, a Daluo Jinxian... Then wouldn't I be the junior brother of the Daluo Jinxian?"
"Don't be silly." An Zhisu said with a smile, "Do you think it's so easy to become a Golden Immortal? You have to take every step without any hindrance to have a very small chance of success... I won't say more. Your Gold Mercury Dan Hua Liquid is not available for the time being. Put it in the secret room for now."
"Yes." Ling Yunpo agreed immediately.
The two of them once again passed through the inner hall, secret room, and tunnel, and finally arrived in front of the stone wall where Su Jian was in seclusion.
An Zhisu opened the secret compartment in the basement and carefully placed the mercury elixir into it.
Seeing her solemn and serious expression, Ling Yunpo couldn't help being moved, and suddenly he remembered the Taoist tradition of "Asking about Love" mentioned by Guan Shanyue.
"Senior Sister." He asked cautiously, "I heard that there seem to be three lines of Taoism in our Shushan?"
"Taoism?" An Zhisu was slightly surprised, "Yes."
"Because most of our sword immortals are passionate and emotional, the probability of falling into the devil's way in love is much higher than that of Kunlun and Penglai sects."
"It is precisely because of this that the sect has three different attitudes on how to deal with worldly affairs: one is to be completely ruthless and emotionless, the second is to forget about love and be utterly detached, and the third is to use the sword to resolve love."
She explained the three schools in detail, and her explanation was similar to Guan Shanyue's.
The heartless trend is self-centered and ruthless.
Forgetting the flow of love means falling in love first and then parting, seeing through the world;
To ask about the flow of love is to know and stay with someone, never leave them.
To use online novels as an analogy, the Jueqing style has no female protagonist, the Wangqing style is a literary novel, and the Wenqing style is a dog food novel.
"So, senior sister, what route are you planning to take?" Ling Yunpo finally asked the main question.
An Zhisu was stunned for a moment before lowering his head and saying:
"I... of course I will inherit Master's teachings."
