Chapter 171: Nothing special (big chapter, please give me a monthly ticket~)
The flying leaf boat is four meters long and about ten meters wide, with pointed ends, and looks like an ordinary boat.
The difference is that the Flying Leaf Boat is made of a leaf, and the thick veins of the leaf can be clearly seen on the paper-thin green hull.
The light flying leaf boat carried a hundred Qi cultivators.
The wind in the air was so fierce that it caused the Flying Leaf Boat to sway up and down continuously. The violent turbulence made many Qigong practitioners turn pale.
The bumps were nothing, it was mainly because the Flying Leaf Boat was too light. Standing inside, one could see the hull bending and deforming in the strong wind, and it seemed like it could fall apart at any time.
This place is two thousand feet above the ground. Even with the Flying Feather Technique, one cannot withstand a fall from such a great distance.
Faced with such serious consequences, naturally few people can remain calm.
Zhang Chunjiang stood at the raised stern and looked down at everyone, his face full of disdain.
Qigong practitioners have poor cultivation and poor brains. With him, Lu Lingfei, and Pang Su, three great foundation-building practitioners, how could they let the Feiye Boat capsize?
Zhang Chunjiang glanced at Gao Xian. Among a group of panicked cultivators, Gao Xian seemed very calm.
His eyes were slightly lowered as if he was in a trance or in deep thought, and he even looked relaxed and at ease.
Zhang Chunjiang's eyes flashed. This boy's aura was steady and pure, and the five elements of qi were linked together. He has already advanced to the ninth level of Qi training, and his cultivation is very pure.
Judging from Gao Xian's condition, if everything goes well, he will be able to build a foundation in just a few years.
"He really has some talent. The more so, the more he cannot be tolerated."
Zhang Chunjiang sneered inwardly, thinking that it would not be easy to kill Gao Xian once they entered Bixia Peak.
Let this kid be proud for a while! The flying leaf boat was not fast, and it took almost an hour to reach Bixia Peak.
The new moon had just appeared in the sky, and the mountains were dark and quiet. The faint moonlight made the huge peaks vaguely outlined.
The Flying Leaf Boat hovered and stopped about ten feet above the ground, and many Qigong practitioners jumped off the boat. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.
Zhang Chunjiang and others came down. He chanted a spell and pointed at the flying leaf boat. The huge flying leaf boat curled up and folded itself, and finally turned into a green package about a foot in size.
Seeing this, many Qigong practitioners were full of envy. Only a great cultivator at the foundation-building stage could drive such a magical instrument.
Zhang Chunjiang was quite satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He said to Pang Su and Lu Lingfei, "You two, pick your people first."
He pointed at Gao Xian and said, "Just leave this guy to me."
Lu Lingfei looked at Gao Xian with some sympathy. The news of the bet between Gao Xian and Zhang Chunjiang had spread throughout Lianyun Sect at that time.
Later, Zhang Chunjiang made a specious argument, insisting that Gao Xian did not kill the evil spirit, which also made many people criticize him. They felt that Zhang Chunjiang could not afford to lose...
This time Gao Xian falls into Zhang Chunjiang's hands, he will definitely die!
Lu Lingfei is not Yun Feiying, he doesn’t care whether Gao Xian lives or dies.
There are ruins of an ancient sect deep beneath Bixia Peak, and there are countless practitioners of the Seven Evils Sect hiding there.
He was busy taking care of himself, so how could he spare the energy to take care of others? Not to mention that this move would greatly offend Zhang Chunjiang.
Another great foundation-building cultivator, Pang Su, is older than Zhang Chunjiang. He is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building and his cultivation is higher than Zhang Chunjiang.
Pang Su was a loner and had a good relationship with Zhang Chunjiang, so it was even more impossible for him to stand up for Gao Xian. He didn't even look at Gao Xian, but just selected 30 Qigong practitioners.
Lu Lingfei carefully selected thirty cultivators and issued special waist badges to this group of people to identify them by number.
He also reorganized the team, with ten people in each team divided into three teams: front, middle and rear, each responsible for different tasks.
Zhang Chunjiang was not as meticulous as Lu Lingfei. He randomly divided the remaining people into three teams and led them into the cave.
The entrance to the cave had been excavated many times and was several feet high, and the passage inside was also very spacious.
However, the cave was dark, and a cold wind was blowing out from inside.
Many Qigong practitioners activated the light talismans, and bits of bright light floated around, illuminating the surroundings.
That's it. Many Qigong practitioners were nervous. They had heard that many people had died in the ancient ruins, and it was very dangerous.
Zhang Chunjiang saw everyone cowering and snorted in dissatisfaction, "What are you afraid of? The people from the Seven Evil Sect are hiding down there. They're far away from here..."
Zhang Chunjiang has been to the site twice and is quite familiar with the situation here.
The Lianyun Sect certainly cannot control the ruins, and the Qisha Sect is even less capable of doing so.
The ruins of the ancient sect are too large, and it would be impossible to find the few people hiding inside.
The Lianyun Sect continuously sent cultivators here with the intention of fighting with the Qisha Sect.
As long as all the cultivators are eliminated, the Seven Evils Sect will naturally be wiped out.
There is a very crucial point here, that is, Lianyun Sect can rely on the sect ruins to gather independent practitioners.
It is impossible for the Seven Evils Sect to bring a group of independent cultivators to the ruins to fight desperately.
The difference between the two gave Lianyun Sect the confidence to continue consuming the energy.
Gao Xian followed the crowd, neither leading nor lagging behind.
It was he who discovered the ancient sect ruins from the Red Snake Gang, and it was he who informed Zhou Ye, and only then did Lianyun Sect know the news.
However, this was Gao Xian's first time here, and he had no interest in digging underground.
Not only is it hard work, it is also very dangerous. How can you make money by refining elixirs? How can you feel comfortable by refining elixirs?
A group of people walked in the winding and uneven cave for a long time, and suddenly came to an open cave. There was a hole dozens of feet wide above the cave, and cone-like stone pillars hung down.
There is a large pool of water in the center of the cave, which emits a faint blue light that illuminates the surroundings. The inverted stone pillars above and the surrounding rock walls are also reflected with blue light, which looks quite beautiful and magical.
Gao Xian noticed that there were many portal-like entrances on the rock wall, which were arranged in an orderly manner along the rock wall.
These entrances should be the caves or living quarters of the ancient sects' cultivators? Other Qigong cultivators also saw the entrances, and many of them had bright eyes.
Zhang Chunjiang showed disdain on his face. What a bunch of idiots! They liked the ancient cultivators’ caves. So did the cultivators from the Seven Evils Sect.
Otherwise, why is the Seven Evils Sect making such a fuss here? Is it just to kill people?
Zhang Chunjiang said loudly: "This is the official entrance to the ancient sect. It is divided into 108 entrances according to the Tiangang and Disha."
He pointed to a wide entrance facing the pool and said, "Let's rest for an hour, and then enter from the first entrance. There are many caves and complicated passages inside, and the people of the Seven Evils Sect like to hide here.
"Everyone must be careful when they go in."
A group of cultivators nodded repeatedly. They took out the Bailu Pill and drank it, then sat cross-legged in meditation to restore their spirits and magic power.
Gao Xian also took a Jinyuan Pill and didn't eat much at night, which saved him the trouble.
Zhang Chunjiang's eyelids jumped when he saw Gao Xian taking the Jinyuan Pill. He only used the Jinyuan Pill when he went out, but this kid was so extravagant!
"I really need to check this kid's storage bag carefully later!"
An hour passed quickly, and Zhang Chunjiang shouted and drove everyone into the wide entrance.
The passage inside was flat and wide, and it was obvious that it was built by humans. Gao Xian was also a little amazed. The manpower and material resources consumed in digging and building in the cave were terrifying.
I don't know why the sect built a cave in the cave. There is no light here. Living in it for a long time will make you crazy. It is very inhumane.
Gao Xian was just pondering the reason when he heard Zhang Chunjiang's rough voice shouting, "Gao Xian, go ahead and explore the way."
Gao Xian looked up at Zhang Chunjiang, whose face was gloomy. He knew that the other party was waiting for him to disobey, so why bother?
It's not impossible to take action here, but there are too many people around.
There's no need to involve others in their feud.
"good."
Gao Xian responded and walked ahead, activating the light talisman to illuminate the road ahead.
Everyone followed Gao Xian about ten steps behind him. Someone was exploring the way ahead, and everyone was very happy.
After walking for a while and turning a corner, everyone found that Gao Xian had disappeared silently.
Zhang Chunjiang was also a little stunned. He was less than thirty steps away from Gao Xian, and any movement of Gao Xian could not be hidden from his spiritual sense.
How could Gao Xian disappear without a trace?
Zhang Chunjiang felt that something was wrong. He was silent for a moment and said to everyone, "Gao Xian deserted the battlefield. He deserves to die. I will kill him myself."
Zhang Chunjiang swept his cold and sharp eyes over the numerous cultivators. Anyone who dared to disobey orders or escape without permission would be killed without mercy!
Many cultivators were startled, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and responded in unison.
Gao Xian was standing at another bend not far away. He watched Zhang Chunjiang yelling quietly with a smile on his face.
"The old man is a little anxious, don't be anxious, the fun is just about to begin..."
The ruins of the ancient sect are extremely large, incredibly large.
The underground seemed to have been hollowed out, divided into pieces according to areas, and divided into layers according to levels.
There are passages and stone chambers everywhere. Most of the stone chambers are closed, and some are even sealed with magic.
Zhang Chunjiang led a group of people to wander around underground. Sometimes when he felt like it, he would choose an unopened stone chamber to start excavating.
The stone door was very heavy, and it was reinforced with some kind of magic. It was not easy to break it open by force.
Breaking the door violently may trigger the defensive spells inside, and sometimes even result in death.
After finally breaking the door open, I found that there was nothing inside.
Gao Xian followed Zhang Chunjiang and others, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that they had tried in vain many times.
How many stone chambers are there in this huge underground ruins? You have to know that this is just one of the 108 entrances, and there are countless layers and stone chambers inside. By this calculation, the underground ruins are terrifyingly large.
Even if we use all the power of the sect to dig, there is no telling how long it will take to finish.
No wonder the sect tried it for a while and then decisively opened the ruins to independent practitioners.
Only independent cultivators are willing to come here and take a chance.
Zhang Chunjiang and his men struggled for two days but found nothing good, and were ambushed by cultivators from the Seven Evils Sect.
The opponent should be a foundation-building cultivator. The evil spirit condensed by the Yinsha Flag transformed into a long black arrow, whistling into a team of cultivators standing in front.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The leading Qigong practitioners all activated defensive spells such as the Golden Body Talisman and Yi Wood Shield, but they were still far inferior to the Yin Sha Flag.
The long arrow of black smoke fell, melting half of the seven cultivators in front of them. Four of them died on the spot, and the remaining three screamed miserably.
The sudden attack also frightened the other Qigong practitioners, and they all fled in panic.
Zhang Chunjiang flicked his finger and a flaming arrow was sent out. A flash of fire shot out and the fire in the air was divided into ten, and ten into a hundred.
The long arrows transformed from flames were like a huge fire net, instantly covering the large dark area ahead.
Gao Xian, who was watching the excitement from behind, couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Chunjiang's character was not good, but his fighting ability was very strong, three points stronger than Xu Lingyun. Moreover, he had rich combat experience, and was experienced and calm. He really had some skills!
Hundreds of flaming arrows tore through the darkness, and many of them pierced the stone walls and burst into huge balls of flames.
A black shadow flashed among the flames and then disappeared into the deeper darkness.
The burst of flames only illuminated the man's back before he merged into the darkness.
Zhang Chunjiang stood with his sword in hand. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of chasing.
He didn't know how many people were inside or what arrangements were made. It was too dangerous to attack rashly.
Zhang Chunjiang looked at the wounded who were still screaming. He frowned and pointed his finger. Green energy fell like an arrow and pierced through the eyebrows of several wounded.
The screaming stopped abruptly.
Many cultivators were all horrified. Zhang Chunjiang did not treat the wounded, but instead killed people directly. This frightened them all.
"After being hit by the Yin Qi of the Yin Sha Flag, my internal organs have been corroded. I will definitely die. Delaying it will only make it more painful."
In order to win over the people, Zhang Chunjiang had to explain a few things.
Many cultivators were silent. Even if what Zhang Chunjiang said made sense, it was too cruel to execute several people so directly.
After Zhang Chunjiang left, Gao Xian chased after him into the darkness.
There are too many people around Zhang Chunjiang, and Gao Xian has no grudge against them, so it is impossible for him to take action against them.
Anyway, Zhang Chunjiang won't leave for the time being, so let's wait a few days and see.
The whereabouts of the foundation-building cultivator from the Seven Evils Sect revealed, which aroused Gao Xian's interest.
Although the art of scent is considered a relatively mediocre spell, a master who has mastered the art can smell the scent of magic.
The cultivator from the Seven Evils Sect activated the Yin Evil Flag. The trace of magical power left by the wisp of Yin energy was very subtle, but could be distinguished by the scent technique.
Gao Xian followed the trace of Yin Qi. With his flower-appraising mirror, he could easily see through the darkness and various barriers without the need to release his spiritual consciousness.
With the cover of the shadowless robe, Gao Xian was like a wandering ghost in the underground ruins.
After chasing for not far, Gao Xian saw two monks hiding on the left and right sides of an intersection from afar, apparently waiting to ambush Zhang Chunjiang.
The auras of the two were concealed very well, they must have used some magic or magical weapon.
But there were two living people standing there, and they could not be hidden from the magic mirror of flowers.
Gao Xian switched to the Flower-Appraising Mirror mode, but he couldn't see clearly the changes in the magic power of the two cultivators.
The two monks waited patiently for more than half an hour. The faint black gas covering their bodies slowly dissipated, and the strong aura of their magic power also flowed out.
Switching to the Netherworld mode with the Flower Mirror, one can see a light or flame between the eyebrows of the two cultivators, illuminating their entire bodies. Most of their magic power is concentrated in the spiritual orifice in their chests, and they are obviously cultivators in the early stages of foundation building.
Generally speaking, the early, middle and late stages of foundation building are the three stages of refining essence, qi and spirit.
In the early stage of foundation building, when refining essence, most of the mana is concentrated in the middle dantian, which is the spiritual orifice at the heart. In the early stage of foundation building, the essence is restrained and strong, which is their most common characteristic.
The same is true for Zhu Qinniang, who is practicing body cultivation.
Gao Xian and Qi Niang were together every day and were very familiar with the characteristics of the early stage of foundation building. At a glance, he determined the cultivation level of the two foundation building cultivators.
In his opinion, the two were far less experienced than Zhang Chunjiang. He attacked secretly and had a 70% to 80% chance of defeating the two.
It's just a bit risky, and it will be a bit troublesome if it can't be solved.
Gao Xian decided to wait, as foundation-building cultivators are also human beings and need rest.
There were two foundation-building monks, one male and one female. They looked middle-aged. Both of them were decent-looking, but there was a strong gloomy aura between their brows, making them look eerie and weird.
The two men did not speak, and all they communicated with was telepathy, being extremely cautious.
The two walked for a long way before they stopped to rest in a semi-enclosed stone chamber.
For safety reasons, the two of them sealed the entrance to the passage with spider-silk-like threads and placed a box to hold metal magic tools.
Gao Xian guessed that this magic weapon would be triggered by the pulling force of spider silk, and its function was equivalent to a landmine. He had never seen such a magic weapon before and was quite curious.
The two of them finished the arrangements and then relaxed in the stone chamber. After the two of them took the elixir, the female cultivator closed her eyes and sat cross-legged to practice.
The man sat by the door, squinting his eyes and resting.
Gao Xian activated the invisible state of the Shadowless Robe and easily passed through the defenses set up by the two people like a phantom, stopping thirty steps away from them.
A sneak attack from closer would be more reliable, but also more dangerous. For him, safety came first.
Gao Xian knew very well that once a spell or the Lingxi Sword was activated, the spiritual power aroused would alert the two foundation-building monks.
However, he had the Flower Mirror, which could easily lock onto the two foundation-building monks without alerting them. This advantage was too great! Gao Xian waited until the two foundation-building monks were most relaxed before taking action, which was even more insidious.
Sister Lan appeared deep between his brows, and nine flaming bullets like marbles were fired out under the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.
The red flame of the red flame bomb cut through the darkness, leaving behind nine faint dark red light marks.
The two foundation-building monks who were resting in the stone chamber immediately noticed the fluctuations in magic power and spiritual consciousness. They reacted quickly and immediately activated their protective Qi.
The man guarding the door even sent out the Yinsha Flag, a magical weapon he had been holding in his hand.
Under the stimulation of powerful spiritual consciousness, the Yin Sha Flag immediately emitted a large amount of thick black gas.
The male monk originally wanted to use the Yin Sha Flag to sweep away the flaming bomb, but what he didn't expect was that the flaming bomb fired by Gao Xian was extremely condensed and hard, and its speed was extremely fast.
With Gao Xian's powerful spiritual sense controlling them, the nine flaming bombs penetrated the thick black air with incredible speed and shot straight into the stone chamber before exploding with a loud bang.
In the closed stone chamber, the fierce and violent flame impact became extremely terrifying.
The two foundation-building monks each activated their own protective Qi, as well as the golden light technique, robe shields, etc., but were also struck dizzy by the impact of the exploding flames, and the golden light technique and robe shields they used for self-defense were shattered.
Before the two could react, Gao Xian's second wave of nine flame bombs had already fallen.
The perfect state of the Grandmaster of the Nine Layers of Ice and Fire allows Gao Xian to play both ice and fire, or just one.
The opponent was in a closed space, so Gao Xian chose the most powerful flame bomb, which was fired in a chain.
It was too late for the two foundation-building monks to realize something was wrong, as nine flaming bombs fired in succession hit them.
The blazing and violent flame impact was released again, and the semi-enclosed space increased the impact power of the fire magic.
Although the two foundation-building monks activated their protective magic weapons again, they could not withstand the power of such violent flames. Holes were burned on their robes, and part of the skin on their faces was burned into charcoal.
The violent impact caused the two foundation-building monks to suffer internal injuries, but these injuries were not enough to threaten their lives.
As long as the two foundation-building monks could catch their breath, they could activate their protective Qi and rush out.
At this moment, the sound of clear sword chanting came from the darkness.
The two foundation-building monks were horrified. They knew it was a flying sword! However, they were both stunned by the violent attack of the flaming bomb, and their consciousness was a little slow. They were a beat slower when they wanted to use their magic power to resist.
The clear flying sword drew a crystal light mark in the stone chamber, and this light mark just connected the heads of the two foundation-building monks.
There were two unrhythmic "puff" sounds in the midst of the endless and clear sword chants, and the heads of the two foundation-building monks exploded at the same time, leaving a ball of blood...
Their bodies swayed and fell to the ground, without any breath left.
Gao Xian, who was thirty steps away, raised the corners of his mouth slightly to reveal a reserved smile. He raised his left hand slightly, and the clear Lingxi sword returned to his long sleeves like a swimming fish.
