"Be careful, Junior Brother."
After just a few breaths, the leader of the Bishui Sect felt the dizziness in front of his eyes calm down, and his feet stood firmly in a wide and narrow passage.
The passage was surrounded by countless restrictions. After sensing their power, I found that they were not that strong, only about the second level.
Some of the restrictions have dimmed, and the lines connecting them have also broken, which shows that they have been in operation for quite some time.
Taoist Xuan Ling carefully touched the restriction in front of him with the water dividing ruler in his hand, and sensed it carefully with his divine sense.
"Brother, these restrictions have existed for at least a thousand years. It seems that the restrictions of the first level were specially left for the younger generation who are building their foundation."
The Bishui Sect Master nodded and gestured, "Let's go and take a look inside."
Although the restrictions in the passage were all ordinary second-level restrictions, the two did not take it lightly. They still kept a distance of several feet between them and took defensive postures against each other.
There was a lot of dust scattered in the passage, which once again confirmed the fact that the cave had existed for a long time.
After the two brothers carefully checked the restrictions in the passage, they gathered together to discuss and analyze it carefully. In the end, they both felt that the second-level restriction in front of them was the first level mentioned in the inheritance information.
The second-level restriction corresponds to the foundation-building process. This arrangement seems very much like looking for a successor.
"Brother, this should be the first test. Brother, please stay back and I will break the restriction."
At the end of the passage, there was a place where spiritual light was flickering. Master Xuanling grabbed the water dividing ruler and cut down.
Since he was inside a cave, in order to avoid triggering other unknown restrictions, he moved very carefully and was very restrained when controlling his magic power.
The water-dividing ruler released black magic power, which easily tore open the spiritual restriction in front of it. A strong smell of dust rushed towards Xuan Ling.
A 'sizzling' sound was heard, and the spiritual restriction began to break apart bit by bit.
The two people's spiritual thoughts followed the torn spiritual barrier and sank into it, and a stone chamber appeared in their perception.
Master Xuanling tore the spiritual barrier at the entrance a little bigger, allowing the entire scene inside the stone chamber to be seen.
The entire stone chamber is more than three meters long, more than two meters wide, and three meters high, with a stone table in the middle.
On the stone table was a jade box sealed with talismans, all covered with thick dust.
Perceiving it, the spiritual light on the talisman that sealed the jade box had dimmed.
"Be careful, something is suppressing my divine consciousness. My divine consciousness has been suppressed by 20%."
Taoist Xuanling gave a reminder and entered the stone chamber with his spiritual sense to start searching.
But the stone chamber was so small that there was no need to check if there was anything inside. I saw an embedded groove on the top of the stone chamber.
Embedded in the groove is a talisman with a weathered surface and a color that is neither green nor yellow.
Not only was there some slight peeling on the surface of the talisman, but there were also pit marks similar to tooth marks in some places.
That’s right, it’s tooth marks, and they were made by Dahei.
The third-level animal skins really exhausted it.
"It's a third-level talisman, but it took too long and most of its power has been consumed."
After some inspection, Xuan Ling was sure.
"Brother, let me go in and check the jade box."
He looked back at the leader of the Bishui Sect, nodded, and carefully stepped into the stone chamber.
After Xuan Ling entered the stone chamber without any accidents, the Bishui Sect Master pointed to the weathered talisman embedded in the ceiling of the chamber.
“Although the power of this talisman has been mostly consumed, it can still suppress nearly 10% of my spiritual power.
This kind of talisman that can suppress divine thoughts is quite rare. Keep it carefully, it may be useful in the future."
Xuan Ling nodded. The third-level talisman was still a very precious spiritual object for the Bishui Sect.
He carefully took off the talisman, took out a jade box and put it inside.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to find this cave, and the power of this talisman has not been exhausted.
By suppressing the divine consciousness for nearly a thousand feet, perhaps one can avoid a life-and-death crisis.
Next, Xuan Ling opened the jade box on the stone table. As for the talisman attached to the jade box, it was only of the second level. It was expected that it was left by a high-minded Taoist friend who was afraid that the foundation-building cultivator who came in would not be able to open it.
There was nothing else in the jade box except a storage ring, which was also sealed with thick seal.
…
Huh! Not long after, a slightly heavy breathing sound was heard in the passage outside the secret room.
"Meteoric Secret Pill!"
"Fire-type rare treasure."
"Water-borne treasure."
"Second-level top-grade Yuehua Hanyuan Pill!"
"Earth-walking strange treasure!"
"Wood element rare treasure, gold element rare treasure!"
The things taken out from the storage ring made Sect Master Bishui and Taoist Master Xuanling tremble a little, as if they had met Taoist Fellow Gao Chao.
I couldn't help it all of a sudden.
"call!"
"Master, I am from the Bishui Sect, I am from the Bishui Sect..." Xuan Ling Zhenren's mouth twitched, he was so excited that he almost couldn't speak.
The three Falling Star Secret Pills have been sealed with multiple seals to ensure that their efficacy remains.
"With these three small golden elixirs, even if our Bishui Sect is unlucky, we can still have one more golden elixir master."
"May the ancestors bless you. This is truly a blessing from the ancestors."
"My Bishui Sect's great fortune is coming!"
True Man Xuanling was excited, and so was the Master of Bishui Sect.
"Junior brother, you are wrong, you forgot about Yue Hua Han Yuan.
With the Moonlight Pill combined with the Starfall Pill, the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core stage will increase by at least 30%.
The talent of the few Jindan seedlings in the sect is pretty good, and they will have a 70% to 80% chance of breaking through to the Jindan realm.
Maybe, our sect will have two or three more Jindan cultivators."
“Brother, there are five rare treasures with different properties. It seems that this Taoist fellow has put a lot of effort into inheriting his legacy.
I don't know what kind of spiritual roots the cultivator who came in has, but he actually prepared five rare treasures."
"I have also prepared three Moonlight Pills and Starfall Pills. This is to push the foundation-building cultivators who come here to the Golden Core Realm."
"It's really a big deal! These treasures are very suitable for my junior brothers to use. If they are handed over to the sect to make fake pills for sacrifice, they may be comparable to the cultivators who have just entered the golden elixir stage."
"My Bishui Sect will increase the combat power of five people who have just entered the Jindan level!"
"If we add three more Jindan monks..."
"hiss……"
The leader of the Bishui Sect and the Xuanling Zhenren were fiddling with the spiritual objects in front of them. You looked at each other, and it was like a dream.
This overwhelming wealth finally fell on the head of his Bishui Sect.
"Not good, Senior Brother's elixir is evaporating."
Xuan Ling was holding a medicine bottle containing a Yuehua Hanyuan Pill. He had just pulled out the cork and checked it.
At this moment, a wisp of faint green dust was seen floating out of the medicine bottle.
Xuan Ling was so scared that he quickly plugged the medicine bottle again.
The leader of the Bishui Sect quickly took away the remaining five medicine bottles and checked them, and found that all the pills were evaporating.
"It seems that this noble fellow Daoist left a backup plan, probably to give the cultivator who obtained this elixir a sense of urgency."
Xuanling sighed for a moment, thinking that it was normal to do so. Since it was a legacy, there would naturally be corresponding tests.
When the elixir evaporates, it will give people a sense of urgency in practicing, so that they will not waste time practicing.
"Alright Junior Brother, quickly put your things away, this is just the first level."
The leader of the Bishui Sect put away the spiritual object, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The first level has the benefit of being promoted to the Golden Elixir stage. From elixirs to magical instruments, it is a one-stop service from foundation building to the Golden Elixir stage.
What about the second level!
What will be prepared inside? Thinking of this, the leader of Bishui Sect and Xuanling Zhenren looked at each other, and both saw the fiery look in each other's eyes.
The Bishui Sect received this overwhelming wealth.
"Where is the second test?"
Then, the two looked back at the passage they came in from. There was only this one passage.
Finally, they turned their eyes back to the secret room. The entrance to the second level was most likely in this secret room.
…
The leader of the Bishui Sect is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and the strength of his spiritual power is around nine thousand feet.
As for Xuanling Zhenren, an old cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, his spiritual sense is barely five thousand feet long.
The two people's spiritual thoughts swept across the cave, and were all within Shen Lian's perception.
The things placed in the first level can be said to be the rarest things of the Xiaojindan forces.
Moreover, he added some special medicinal properties into the pill.
Don't get me wrong, Shen Lian did not add poison into it, but instead added a tonic.
This was the method of re-refining Qianyuan that he had found after searching through the alchemy tradition for a long time.
The three Falling Star Secret Pills among his spoils seemed to be of inferior quality, but their medicinal power was infinitely close to that of medium quality.
Combined with the re-refined second-grade superior grade Yuehua Hanyuan Pill, as long as the ninth-level foundation-building cultivator of the Bishui Sect is not a fool, the chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage will be no less than 50%.
Moreover, who advances to the Golden Core stage in each sect does not depend solely on relationships, but mainly on the quality of the spiritual roots.
For any cultivator who has stepped into the category of superior spiritual roots, the probability of advancing to the golden elixir stage after taking these two pills is at least 60% to 70%.
All that remains is God's will.
After Shen Lian was promoted to the Golden Core state, he also discovered the problems with the Golden Core state.
In fact, besides talent, the most important factor for a cultivator to advance to the Golden Elixir stage is willpower.
Many cultivators fail to advance because of their lack of willpower. They become afraid before the thunder even strikes.
Such a child is mostly useless.
It just so happened that Shen Lian didn't care at all about the mentality of the Bishui Sect's cultivators. He just needed the Bishui Sect's cultivators to take the elixir and then trigger the golden elixir thunder tribulation.
Success or failure doesn’t matter; what’s important is the thunder tribulation.
This thing can't be covered up.
If the Bishui Sect cultivators were to suffer three consecutive golden elixir thunder tribulations, what would the other sects in this area think? They were all sects in this area, so they didn't know who was who.
Three people from your Bishui Sect have been promoted to the Golden Core stage all at once. There must be something wrong.
Just like between a male and female Taoist couple, when the male Taoist comes home from playing outside and the female Taoist partner is not happy to let him bend her hip joint, most likely other Taoist partners are helping the male Taoist partner to carry the weight and move forward.
The reverse is not entirely true.
If a male fellow Taoist starts to complain after returning home, it is possible that he is being positive outside.
But it is also possible that male Taoist friends start to like skewers, fishing, tea tasting, mountain viewing, sightseeing, ironwork, hoof repair, sword riding...
Or maybe you start to like the same path, the evil path, and the dry path.
The logic of the example given may be a bit inappropriate for this topic, but the truth is simple and all paths lead to the same destination. That’s roughly what I mean.
Let's encourage each other, fellow travelers. Shen Lian would like to state first that he likes drinking tea.
If people in the Bishui Sect continue to advance to the Golden Core stage, everyone knows what the situation is like inside, and it must be that someone outside is helping them.
As for whether Bishui would send people to different places to overcome the golden elixir tribulation in order to hide.
Shen Lian also thought of this.
Otherwise, what do you think he would do with the second-grade top-grade Yuehua Hanyuan Pill?
This kind of elixir is designed to help ninth-level foundation-building cultivators perfect their spirit, energy and spirit.
Generally speaking, cultivators would refine this pill first to make their spirit, energy and mind perfect before taking the Yuehua Hanyuan Pill.
Therefore, he also put some ingredients into the Yuehua Hanyuan Pill.
In addition, to be on the safe side, these two kinds of pills also add an auxiliary medicine, which is non-toxic, but once added, the medicinal power of the pill will begin to evaporate.
Tsk tsk, who made him so mean?
If you take it one day later, the medicine's effectiveness will be weakened.
Watching the medicinal effect of the pill disappear, do you think you would feel uncomfortable?
As for the second level arranged by Shen Lian...
…
"Brother, be careful!"
The leader of the Bishui Sect looked at the Xuanling Zhenren in front of him, who was cut in half by a falling rainbow light. He wanted to help but it was too late.
However, the cross-section of the junior brother who was cut open was extremely smooth, without a drop of blood. Instead, it broke into pieces like a mirror and turned into a piece of shattered spiritual light.
After the spiritual light merged, all directions turned into a vast forest.
“Illusion!”
The leader of the Bishui Sect was shocked. In his spiritual perception, all the scenes outside him were so real, and there were even monsters in the mountains roaring at him.
He remembered that he was clearly in the stone chamber before and just gently pushed the stone table where the jade box was placed.
How did I suddenly fall into this illusion?
"open!"
As the waves swept around, a series of "sizzling" sounds were heard.
The fantasy scenes on all sides became blurred by the impact of the waves, but after just a few breaths, they returned to normal.
Seeing that none of his attacks were working, Master Bishui took out a small black arrow and injected his magical power into the arrow.
After the arrow was nourished by magic power, it suddenly gushed out gurgling black water, and then rolled up like a long river.
"call!"
The leader of the Bishui Sect blew hard at the arrow head, and the arrow head rolled up the black water to form an extremely huge wave, which covered the sky and the earth and hit the front.
“Crack!”
The illusion in front of it shattered like a mirror under the impact of the black water storm, and then spread to the entire space.
“Buzz!”
However, the entire shattered illusion space did not make the Master of the Bishui Sect happy, but instead he showed horror.
In an instant, he activated the golden elixir magical power.
An eight-sided green shield covered with runes appeared, protecting his entire body.
The illusion that he had just shattered was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye. Moreover, rays of colorful light formed into lightsabers that surrounded him.
Countless sword lights struck the green shield with a crackling sound. The green shield suddenly shattered amid the violent attacks, and countless sword lights submerged the leader of the Green Water Sect.
A scream was heard, and the leader of the Bishui Sect, with a broken green light, shattered the numerous illusions and crashed into the rock wall.
On the rock wall, countless prohibitions lit up.
“Puff! Puff.”
The leader of the Bishui Sect, who was embedded in the rock wall, vomited blood continuously. His body was covered with sword holes and blood was flowing like pulp.
He raised his eyes and observed, and found that although he was covered by the restriction, the sword light that could kill him before had disappeared.
The place in front of us is an even larger secret room.
"Junior Brother Xuanling!"
At this moment, the leader of the Bishui Sect saw a familiar figure flashing in the forbidden area not far away. The upper body of the figure plunged into the deep rock, leaving only the buttocks outside.
At this moment, the buttocks were cut by the sword energy, and blood was oozing out.
"Brother, it's okay. I'm not going to die. I just feel a little pain in my butt."
The next moment, there was a buzzing sound in the cave.
A mechanical voice sounded.
"The test failed, two more times left!"
After waiting for a while and no more sound was heard, the leader of the Bishui Sect came down from the stone wall.
"It's a mechanical voice bead. It seems that we have entered the second level and are being treated as test subjects."
Taoist Xuanling also retreated from the rock wall and mobilized his magical powers to stop the crisis in Ju tribe.
The sword energy just now was too fierce, stabbing everywhere without regard for his body position at all.
"Fortunately, there is no murderous intent in the sharp sword energy in the illusion, otherwise you and I would have died here."
"It seems that the Taoist friend who left behind the inheritance... Senior, must be a kind and gentle person."
The injuries on Master Xuanling's body were much more serious than those on Sect Leader Bishui's, and he felt like his aura was about to collapse.
This was the result of him using the sect's most valuable third-level talisman. Otherwise, he would have been torn into pieces by thousands of swords.
"Junior brother, you should recuperate for the time being."
The leader of the Bishui Sect took out a pill and threw it to Taoist Xuanling. The Jindan cultivators here in the Wilderness rarely have healing pills to take.
Either you eat the elixir raw, or you fight it head-on.
But it is not suitable to resist head-on at this time, and it still needs some repairs.
"This second level is not easy to pass. The sharpness of the sword energy just now is almost as powerful as that of the late Jindan stage. We must be fully prepared next time we come."
…
Opportunity is outside the mountain.
The leader of Bishui Sect supported Xuanling Zhenren, who covered his anus with one hand, and the two walked out of the grove closely.
"call!"
"Our sect's great fortune has arrived."
The two looked back in the direction of the grove. Even though Master Xuan Ling had wounds on his body and blood on his chrysanthemums, he still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.
There is such a treasure in the first level, and the second level requires at least the strength of the late Jindan period to get it. What will it be?
A third-level magic weapon, a third-level treasure pill? "Let's go, find a place to stabilize our injuries first, and then return to the sect immediately."
…
In the mountain forest filled with colorful miasma, Shen Lian's figure slowly appeared in the miasma, watching the two figures supporting each other go away.
"Has good fortune arrived?"
…
After recuperating in the wilderness for several months, the Bishui Sect Master and his companion returned to the sect.
Shen Lian naturally followed all the way to the vicinity of the Bishui Sect.
He had to observe the use of the elixir closely to avoid any mistakes and give the people who took the elixir a chance to leave the Bishui Sect.
There are only five people in the Bishui Sect who are qualified to take the two kinds of elixirs to achieve the Golden Elixir.
He didn't need to inquire about these five people deliberately, as the cultivators of the Bishui Sect had already spread the news.
…
Bishui Sect, Patriarch Hall.
The three Jindan monks devoutly burned incense to the small plaque above.
The Bishui Sect Leader's face was still a little pale.
Master Xuanling's face was not only pale, but also somewhat earthy.
As for Master Shui Yuan, his aura was also weak.
Of the three most powerful masters in the sect, half were killed.
If it were in the past, the three of them would have been extremely sad, but now their eyes were full of energy.
"The elixir is still evaporating, so you must take it. Otherwise, the more the medicinal power dissipates, the less help it will be in advancing to the Golden Elixir stage."
The leader of the Bishui Sect stood with his hands behind his back in the main hall of the ancestral hall which was filled with smoke.
"This matter concerns the development of our Bishui Sect and must be kept secret."
"This sect master has decided to temporarily overturn the contribution system previously established by the sect and directly designate the candidates who will take the elixir."
"Also, this matter must be kept secret. Only you and I are aware of this within the sect."
"Sect Master, do you want to have someone leave the sect and break through secretly outside? It will be too conspicuous if they all stay in the sect."
True Man Shui Yuan spoke, the golden elixir tribulation could not be concealed, the appearance of one person was understandable, but if three golden elixir tribulations appeared at once, that would be too conspicuous.
As soon as these words were spoken, the ancestral hall fell into silence.
Going outside to break through has its advantages, but where can you go to break through outside? It is best to have a third-level spiritual vein to advance to the Golden Core stage, but the Bishui Sect does not have a suitable spiritual vein outside.
In addition, the golden elixir tribulation can last as short as one or two days or as long as seven or eight days, which can easily attract the attention of cultivators.
The golden elixir that has just broken through is very weak. If it is not protected, it will easily become a target of others.
If you are targeted by an evil cultivator, it would be like sending yourself to death.
"Let the disciples go to the Great Immortal City of the Ten Thousand Star Sea to break through. The Black Whale City of the Sea Spirit Sect has a third-level spiritual vein."
Master Xuanling spoke up. Although going to other Jindan sects' spiritual lands to break through and advance may sound a little unbelievable, it is not an unfeasible method.
"Then we need someone to accompany us when we go to Hailing Sect's territory. Otherwise, it will be dangerous in other sects' territory. But how are our injuries?"
The three of them looked at each other and understood that since they were all half disabled, the top priority right now was to heal their injuries.
"This is the time when our sect is rising. I have decided to use part of the sect's treasures to treat the wounds. What do you think, elders?"
"agree."
Shui Yuan and Xuan Ling nodded.
The Bishui Sect is close to the wilderness and has collected some third-level spiritual medicines over the years.
At this moment, the leader of the Bishui Sect felt that it was time to take out the third-level healing elixir.
The three leaders of their sect were all seriously injured. How long would it take for the spiritual medicine they collected to be used? Without an alchemist, eating them raw would still be effective.
"Master, the Starfall Secret Pill can be taken later, but the Moonlight Pill is the best pill to perfect your spirit before advancing to the Golden Pill. You can take it first and refine it."
Xuan Ling Zhenren said, "Sect Master, please select the subjects first, and arrange for them to return to the sect to avoid suspicion."
When it comes to the person who will take the elixir to advance to the golden elixir, even the leader of the Bishui Sect said to directly designate the candidate.
But Xuan Ling and Shui Yuan still looked at each other, as the sect disciples were close to each of them.
You also need to think carefully about who to let advance to the Golden Core stage.
"I've already said that I will decide on the selection this time."
The leader of the Bishui Sect took out a green token and waved it towards the two elders.
This was an order from the sect's founder, and he had known long ago that he would have to argue about it. If it had been in the past, he would have argued about it, but now was not the time.
After taking out the ancestral order to suppress the dispute between the two elders, the leader of the Bishui Sect immediately opened the ancestral storehouse and took out the healing elixir.
Moreover, the candidates who would take the elixir were finalized the next day. Since two of them were not in the sect, a sect mission was issued to have them return as soon as possible.
…
Half a month later.
Shen Lian, who was wandering outside the Bishui Sect, felt relieved when he sensed that the aura of the Yuehua Hanyuan Pill he left behind had disappeared.
Then he left the Fairyland City.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
Hundreds of miles outside the small town where the Chu and Chen states made friends, demonic energy was surging and rushing towards the direction of the Chu state.
In the rolling demonic energy, Shen Lian was wrapped in a black robe, making strange cries and chasing the person in front of him.
"Old monster Yunmo, I will fight you to death!"
"This demon has mastered his magic skills, and I just need your flesh and blood to nourish me."
The secondary soul running in front roared, and while defending, it ran towards the depths of the Chu State.
The sound of his shouting was just heard by a few fleeing monks passing by nearby.
"Old monster Yunmo, I will fight you to the death."
The miserable cries were like sobs and complaints, echoing in the sky.
The old monster Yunmo is one of the most famous demons in the nearby immortal cultivation kingdoms.
According to incomplete statistics, this demon hunted down no less than ten fake Dan monks and two Jindan monks.
Oh no, now they are three real Jindan.
Shen Lian helped him to brush up some data.
Or you could say he's mean.
After disguising himself as the old monster Yunmo, Shen Lian returned all the way to Bishuixian City. The elixir he left behind was about to take effect.
As he headed towards the Bishuixian City, the news that the old monster Yunmo had appeared in the Chu State's immortal cultivation world and hunted down a Jindan cultivator spread like wildfire.
In the Chu State's immortal cultivation world, many low-level cultivators, or their aunts and uncles, second uncle's cousins, wife's brother-in-law, and other cultivators, all boasted to other cultivators that they had seen the heroic figure of the old monster Yunmo.
…
In the southern part of Wu State, inside a cave deep in a valley.
The beating blood and fire dispelled the darkness, and a hint of fragrance wafted through the strong smell of blood.
Inside the cave, there are thousands of flowers surrounding it.
A red robe with wide lotus patterns enveloped the figure.
Her long hair with a green sheen was casually tied behind her head, with a very ordinary hairpin inserted in it.
A jade communication talisman flew out and landed close to the monk.
Then, the silent figure woke up, stretched lazily, and the wide and long red robe was lifted up and hung down from his arms, revealing his arms covered with curly and coarse sweat hair.
"Sister, what are you doing in Chu?"
A lively and charming voice came from the communication jade talisman.
"I'm going to Chu?"
The face of the old monster Yunmo, which was lazy, full of pits and bumps, and had bulging pimples, opened with a hoarse voice that was extremely harsh.
"I'm still lying in Wu State?"
"Who said I went to Chu?"
"You are kidding me. You hunted and killed another Jindan cultivator in Chu State. Why are you still hiding it? I didn't say I was stealing your blood food."
"I'm really lying in Wu State!" The old monster Yun Mo put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Some bastard must be playing tricks on me!"
I was wrong, it’s seven thousand words.
