"Brother Jiang, I can only say that you shocked me too much! You must know that an alchemist is very popular, if you can really get the alchemist qualification, even my Shui family will rush to hire you as an offering! Shui Youning calmed down the excitement just now and said.

"You've won the prize, but you haven't taken the exam yet, maybe I'll be brushed off as soon as I go to the reference." Lin Fan smiled, and then asked, "Youning, you haven't said anything about the Yiling Cave Mansion." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that Lin Fan seemed a little impatient, Shui Youning hurriedly explained: "Actually, in our Jingzhou, there is only one city that does not belong to the sect's management, and that is our Xiangyang City. Do you know why this is happening? You must know that although our three major families have Yuan Infant Monks, there is only one of them, and in Jingzhou, there are many first-class sects, who does not have Yuan Infant Monks? Compared to the strength of our three families and the first-class sects, it is not worth mentioning at all! ”

After Lin Fan heard this, he had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile and said, "Jiang really doesn't know about this situation. Hope and condense to solve your doubts! ”

After hearing this, Shui Youning pursed his lips and smiled, and said with a very charming face: "The reason for this is actually very simple, the reason why there are major sects that do not touch Xiangyang City. In addition to the fact that there are four neutral trans-state organizations in the city, such as the Dan League, the Fu League, the Qi League, and the Array Alliance, which make it inconvenient for them to start a war. The biggest reason is because outside of our Xiangyang City, there is a mysterious cave, because its value is too great, any sect wants to dominate this city, it will attract the siege of other sects. In history, there were also many first-class sects that wanted to occupy Xiangyang City and dominate this cave mansion, but in the end, they all ended up with the destruction of the sect......" o m

Shui Youning picked up the teacup on the table at this time, took a sip, and then told Lin Fan in detail.

Originally, this cave house was located on an island in the Han River outside the city of Xiangyang. This island is dozens of miles in circumference, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Mortals will lose their way when they enter, and even the divine consciousness of immortal cultivators will not be able to penetrate it. A bold monk once entered, but he couldn't find the path after a long time.

A nearby monk verified from the top of the annals that this was originally the location of the cave of Yiling Sanren, a monk in the ancient god period. Most of these clouds are its prohibitions.

Later generations of monks guessed that it was very likely that there were treasures buried in it, so they tried to break its ban. Merely. How can the prohibition of the cultivators of the Transformation Period be broken by ordinary people? After countless failed attempts, the monks dismissed the idea of entering and exploring it.

However, over time, thousands of years later, these prohibitions have gradually become somewhat ineffective. Later, three casual cultivators found out. The ban on the cave was not actually in operation all the time.

Every 100 years, there will be a month of stopping. At this time, you can pass through the clouds and mist on the island and walk to the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, the three casual cultivators discovered that three keyholes of red, yellow, and blue appeared on the door of the cave. They guessed that if they could match the key at the entrance of the cave, they could match the keyhole. Maybe you can open the gate of the cave and enter the cave.

And these three casual cultivators are also coincidental, they were originally born as thieves and are good at picking locks. So I immediately started working on it.

Of course, the materials used to open the door to the cave built by the ancient monks are naturally very different from ordinary mortal keys. Although the three casual cultivators are all late-stage condensation monks, they also know the way to unlock locks. It took more than 80 years to find all the materials and match these three keys.

And they finally opened the door of the cave and went in to explore. As a result, it was discovered that this was really its own cave heaven, which contained countless spiritual herbs and elixirs, and heavenly and earthly treasures. Of course, there are also a lot of monsters and dangerous places. But if you can enter it, it will be a great opportunity for the monk, and it may greatly improve your cultivation.

There are not only the exercises and elixirs and magic weapons collected by the Yiling Sanren, but also the strange flowers and plants he planted, and the domesticated monsters and monsters; There should be all kinds of courtyards and pavilions inside. It was bigger than any cave they'd seen before. It's a small world.

But. At the same time, they also found that there are many internal prohibition organs, and the slightest carelessness will end up in the death of a person.

Therefore, the three did not dare to go deeper. Only obtained a few exercises and ancient treasures on the periphery, and left hastily.

And after they came out, because of the huge gains in the cave mansion, their strength was greatly improved by a notch, and they successfully advanced to the Jindan stage.

So these three people married wives and had children in Xiangyang City, and lived, forming three families: the Lin family, the Wang family and the Shui family.

Later, the heads of these three families agreed that every hundred years, when the ban on the island weakened and they could enter the cave, the descendants of the three or the disciples of the disciples would open the door of the cave with the key they wore at that time.

Shui Youning sighed faintly at this time: "Since there are many prohibitions in it, which are very dangerous, the monks in the Qi refining period are almost dead when they enter. And the treasures inside are not very valuable to the Jindan period monks. Therefore, only condensate monks are the most suitable...... In three months, it will be the time when Yiling Cave Mansion will open every hundred years, and this time is different from the past. Whether it is our Shui family, or the Wang family and the Lin family, they are all looking for materials to prepare the ancient secret key everywhere, because the last time the three of us entered the cave mansion, we found that there was a closed treasure house door in it. ”

"Although the ban in the vicinity has been removed, the gate is too strong to break. So you have to craft a key to open the door. Among the goods we escorted this time was amethyst sand for making secret keys. And the Wang family must have gotten this news, so they wanted to rob this batch of amethyst sand, so that our Shui family could not prepare the key and lost the opportunity to enter the treasure house. ”

At this time, she said with a worried face: "As far as I know, the Lin family has already prepared the key, and the Wang family has also collected all the materials for refining the key. Only our Shui family had a serious illness because of my father's practice, and he took care of the time. Before, the main focus of the family was on finding a famous doctor for my father. The search for the key materials was interrupted, and it wasn't until recently that my father's illness had recovered and we began to rush to buy the materials. ”

"But at this time, most of the available refining materials on the market have been taken away by the Lin family and the Wang family. We are only now going to buy it, and we have suffered a lot in terms of price and quantity. The family's savings were almost entirely spent on treating my father's illness and buying materials to prepare the keys. ”

"And this batch of amethyst sand is one of the important raw materials for the preparation of keys, and the second batch cannot be purchased in a short time. If they are robbed, my Shui family will not be able to enter the secret treasure house. The family's previous efforts will also be in vain, and it may be a failure. ”

Speaking of this, Shui Youning's pretty face was sad, and he almost wanted to cry.

Lin Fan couldn't help but be a little shocked, and he asked suspiciously, "But don't you Shui family still have Yuan Infant Stage Monks and Jindan Stage Monks?" The Wang family is not afraid of causing a big war between the two families when they do this kind of thing? ”
