Inside the cold, damp cave, the light was dim, and it was pitch dark. The sound of dripping water echoed from every corner of the mountain wall, slowly flowing into the stream, gathering into a five-foot-wide thin stream that continued forward.
At this moment, seven or eight monks dressed as casual cultivators walked past here cautiously. They came to the fork in the road and stopped.
Everyone looked at the monk standing in the front and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
The most common thing in Hanguan Cave is the countless caves.
When you are lucky, you can go all the way to the end and encounter a lot of cold jade liquids; when you are unlucky, you will keep choosing the wrong path and meet many monks who come here to look for opportunities, and you may even encounter the ice beast unique to the Cold Light Cave.
Hanguang Cave is located on the west side of Xuantian Continent, next to Longzhou. There are four major dangerous areas and eight major wastelands in the world. Hanguang Cave is located in the center of the Hanmo Wasteland, one of the eight major wastelands. Many cultivators enter here every day to adventure. Unlike the Far North, where there is a danger of death, this place is a relatively peaceful place for training.
At this moment, the team of eight people passed three forks in the road and stopped again.
They were incredibly lucky this time; they had chosen the right entrance to each of the three caves. Although they hadn't seen the Cold Jade Liquid, they hadn't encountered any ice beasts either. The leading man listened to his companions, thought carefully, and said, "Then let's go left."
Everyone nodded immediately and continued walking forward.
Amidst the eight-man team, a tall, handsome figure stood out. Unlike the other seven, he wore a gorgeous brocade robe, a jade pendant dangling from his waist, and a jade crown to hold his hair. His appearance was dignified, and he possessed a more refined and handsome demeanor than the rough-hewn men who had come before him.
This person is Li Xiuchen.
The burly man standing at the head turned around and said to Li Xiuchen with a smile, "Brother Li, this is your first time in the Cold Light Cave. I didn't know that in this cave, not encountering the Cold Light Jade Liquid is actually a small matter. The most troublesome thing is encountering the Ice Beast."
Li Xiuchen asked curiously, "Oh? There's such a thing?"
The big man nodded and said, "Although the ice beast is not very powerful, with our Jindan stage cultivation, we can kill it even if it comes from a first-level or second-level ice beast. However, the ice beast will spit out an icy liquid, which is completely different from the cold jade liquid. If it splashes on the body, it will freeze the dantian, causing great damage to the dantian."
Li Xiuchen agreed and said, "For cultivators, the Dantian is the most important place. I didn't expect the ice beast's ice liquid to be so powerful. We really need to be careful."
Everyone laughed in unison.
However, behind a nearby cliff, a handsome and elegant young monk frowned strangely upon hearing this. He turned to the side and saw a white-robed monk gazing down at a book. Seeing the other monk ignoring him, the green-robed monk said, "Master, it's only been a few years since we last met, and this Li Xiuchen is already lying?"
Xuan Lingzi raised his hand slightly, turned to the second page, and said, "You care about him a lot?"
Luo Jianqing said, "I don't care about him at all. It just suddenly occurred to me that when I first met him seventeen years ago, he wasn't like this. He was very foolish back then, saying a lot of things he shouldn't have said in front of the Yitian Sect. He remained as clueless as ever in the years that followed. I didn't expect that he would even have some little schemes now."
Is this really Li Xiuchen’s first time in Hanguang Cave?
Others may not know, but Luo Jianqing knows it very well!
A month ago, Luo Jianqing brought Xuan Lingzi to the cold desert. When they entered here, the first thing they did was not to go to the Cold Light Cave, but to the location of the Mo family who had forgotten this lineage.
Although Mo Qiu was not a member of the Mo family, Luo Jianqing owed a lot to Mo Qing, the ancestor of the Mo family. He tried his best to give the Mo family some gifts. With Xuan Lingzi's permission, he also picked out two Mo family children with first-grade physique and enlightened them a little.
Mo Qing's descendants are indeed different from others.
Even after living in this desolate and barren desert for 30,000 years, the Mo family's younger generation surprisingly has four first-grade aptitudes, two of which are top-grade. If they can truly awaken the Mo Dao bloodline that Venerable Yuqingzi once spoke of, I think this lineage of the Mo family will definitely be able to recreate the glory of the past.
However, Luo Jianqing couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Mo family, so he could only do what he could.
At this point, the cause and effect with Mo Qing was settled. Luo Jianqing no longer owed Mo Qing anything, and he even paid off Mo Qiu's share of the Mo family's debt.
After all this was over, Luo Jianqing came to the Hanguan Cave.
Luo Jianqing clearly remembered that at this time in his previous life, he was about to be killed by Li Xiuchen, who was only in the late Foundation Establishment stage. However, now, Li Xiuchen had already reached the late Golden Core stage. He didn't know how Li Xiuchen had cultivated so quickly, but it was only such a small change, so it wasn't a cause for concern. After all, he had made the leap from the late Golden Core stage to the middle stage of the Fusion stage.
It was mentioned in "Seeking Immortality 4" that before Li Xiuchen was ordered to hunt down Luo Jianqing, he came to the Hanguan Cave to train.
If Li Xiuchen had been blessed with many opportunities, that was indeed true. Otherwise, how could someone with such poor physique reach the Nascent Soul stage in just twenty years? But if he was unlucky, that was a little true, as he had already encountered a five-star ice beast with a cultivation level equivalent to the Tribulation Crossing stage in the Cold Light Cave!
There are only five-star ice beasts. A one-star ice beast is about the Jindan stage, a two-star is the Yuanying stage... and a five-star has reached the tribulation stage!
