Chapter 26: The Land of Caves
The Concealment Technique is naturally also the ability that the sacrificial stone brings to him. As the name suggests, it is to hide your own breath. Chen Ziang had encountered some high-level spirit beasts, and the reason why he was able to avoid their tracking was also because of this concealment technique. As long as he uses this concealment technique to hide, no one who cultivates much higher than him will be able to detect it, just like Nalan Zi just now.
However, he himself is a little afraid to go deep into the cave now. It would be good if there was a fork in the road behind this cave, if there was only one passage, if he continued to move forward, sooner or later he would encounter Nalan Zi again, and he would not have the confidence to get out of his hands again.
Of course, if he gave up the treasures in this cave, it would naturally be impossible. He felt that the treasures in the depths of this cave mansion would most likely have some prohibitions, and they would not be so easy to get their hands on, just like the spirit array he had encountered before he got the "array secret". Even Nalan Zi may not be able to easily break these prohibitions, so he should take this time to study how to deal with Nalan Zi if he encounters her again.
Thinking about it, the only thing he can use to increase his capital now is the "Phantom Step" he just obtained. Pinning his hopes on the "Phantom Step", Chen Ziang took out this cheat book and examined it carefully. And the description of this cheats did not disappoint him. This "phantom step" is a set of body cheats. What Chen Ziang lacks happens to be this kind of cheat.
If you successfully cultivate the Phantom Step, it will move like a phantom, which is extremely mysterious. And for Chen Ziang, it can also have another role - to assist his own anti-spirit trick.
His anti-spirit trick is powerful, and the closer you get to the enemy, the stronger it becomes, but when you fight with people, once you show that you want to distance yourself from the opponent, you will be wary of the opponent, and as a result, it will be difficult to complete the use of the anti-spirit technique.
But after having the Phantom Step, he would definitely be able to approach the side of others unknowingly, making them unguardable! Next, Chen Ziang began to cultivate the Phantom Step. This set of body cheats was not difficult to learn, and he quickly mastered it. And after having the Phantom Step, he felt that he had some "capital", and finally walked towards the cave again. This cave is extremely deep, and he has been walking for about an hour, and he still has not reached the end.
Suddenly, he noticed movement in front of him, so he stopped and hid using the "Concealment Technique". Soon, the sound of the conversation between the two people entered his ears, it was Sun Tianyu and Wu Chong!"Brother Sun, can't we really resist Nalan Zi?" "Brother Wu, it's not like you haven't seen her strength, if we all have the five-fold cultivation of qi refining, maybe we can still live with her in a few moves, but now ......"
"Hey, I didn't expect that we finally got into this, but in the end we still found nothing, and we had to be driven by others. "It's not that it's completely hopeless, Nalan Zi is also worried about not being able to break through the 'Spirit Array' now, if we find Chen Ziang and break the Spirit Array, maybe she will be in a good mood to share some of our treasures." ”
"Can this Chen Ziang really break through the Spirit Array?" If he can't......" "Probably not." Nalan Zi seems to have personally seen him break through the Regent Array, otherwise he wouldn't have let us come to find him. I just don't know where he is hiding, there is only one passage in the depths of this cave, but I can't find him, could it be that he has already run out?"
"Probably not. At that time, she was trying to expose the medium-grade magic weapon and was about to break in, how could she give up halfway so easily?" The voices of the two gradually faded away, but Chen Ziang had already roughly figured out the situation ahead from the words of the two.
Nalan Zi and the others, there should have been no additional harvest in the depths of this cave, so they were blocked by the same spirit array as on the fork in the road before. The spirit array could not be broken by a monk who had not reached the seventh level of qi refining, so Nalan Zi put his hope on him and sent Wu Chong and Sun Tianyu to find him.
In fact, if Nalan Zi continued to hide his cultivation at the beginning, after they defeated Li Lan, he would definitely continue to go deeper, and if he encountered the Spirit Array, he would definitely take the initiative to break it. Now, it can only be regarded as Nalan Zi lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot. Of course, Chen Ziang had no intention of helping Nalan Zi, he unhurriedly took out the "array secret" he had obtained before and began to browse it. During the period when he was watching the "Array Secret", Sun and Wu passed by several times, but they did not find him using the "Concealment Technique".
Three hours later, Chen Ziang closed the "array secret" and had a plan in his heart. He advanced in a state of concealment, and after a while, he sensed Nalan Zi's aura and stopped. At this time, Nalan Zi was constantly wandering in place, and his face was a little anxious. Chen Ziang, who knew what she was waiting for, couldn't help but feel a little funny: No matter how much Nalan Zi waited, he couldn't wait for Sun Wu and the others to bring him. And he himself was in front of him, and she didn't notice it at all.
However, if he wanted to pass by Nalan Zi's side in this narrow cave, it would still be extremely dangerous. However, no matter how dangerous it is, you can only take a risk. If she finds out, it's a big deal to give her a free coolie. "Phantom Walk!"
Chen Ziang's figure flickered, and the phantom step that he had just cultivated took out, and in an instant, it was like turning into a gust of wind, passing by Nalan Zi's body. Nalan Zi seemed to feel something unusual, and glanced around, but did not find Chen Ziang's figure. And after an instant, Chen Ziang had already moved away from the place.
After passing through Nalan Zi's side, Chen Ziang did not stop the phantom step, and continued to move forward at full speed, and it didn't take long for him to discover the spirit array. The Regent Array in front of him was no different from the previous Dementor Array. After Chen Ziang stepped into it and destroyed the spirit array, he did not leave immediately, but swung out a few spirit stones, absorbed the spiritual energy, and then swung it to make a formation take shape. This formation looks like it is the "Spirit Array"!
However, of course, this was not a real spirit array, but a pseudo-array created by Chen Ziang. With his current ability, it was naturally impossible to create a real Spirit Array. However, this pseudo-array is exactly the same as the Regent Array on the surface, as long as Nalan Zi doesn't personally step into it and try it, it shouldn't be able to be discovered. If Nalan Zi knew that Chen Ziang had come up with this trick by relying on the knowledge he had learned from the "Array Secret", he would definitely regret giving up the "Array Secret" to Chen Ziang.
After setting up the pseudo-array, Chen Ziang did not linger anymore and continued to walk towards the cave. Only five minutes later, he was at the bottom of the cave. As soon as he reached the bottom, he was shocked by the scene in front of him: there were countless treasures in front of him, a row of pills were placed on the cliff wall of the cave, and a large number of spirit stones and low-grade magic weapons were spread on the ground, and in the center of these things, there were three treasures that were obviously the most valuable!
The one on the far left is a gourd-shaped magic weapon, and after Chen Ziang picked it up, a piece of text information was introduced into his brain, letting him know that this gourd was actually a medium-grade magic weapon called "Tongyuan Gourd".
In the middle, there is a hanging pill bottle, Chen Ziang took it and lifted the cap of the bottle to see that the pill inside was actually "Ning Yuan Dan"! Ning Yuan Dan is a kind of pill that all Qi refining period monks yearn for, after taking this pill, it can directly improve the cultivation of Qi refining monks! Of course, if it is used by a monk who refines Qi Nine Fold, it will not be able to break through to the Wheel Realm, but it can also increase the probability of some breakthroughs. The one on the far right is also a magic weapon, but it is a disposable magic weapon. However, Chen Ziang will not underestimate this magic weapon just because it is a one-time weapon, after all, this magic weapon is the famous "Lei Zhenzi"!
Although it is only a low-grade "Thunder Shock", its power should not be underestimated, and a Thunder Shocker may not be worse than the full force of the Wheel Realm master's blow. It can be said that Lei Zhenzi is a treasure that can be used to save his life in a desperate situation. These three treasures, together with a large number of pills, spirit stones, etc., add up to unimaginable assets compared to Qi Refining Realm cultivators.
There are so many properties in a hidden cave mansion, I am afraid that the Linyun Sect has really put a lot of effort into this seven-vein competition. Chen Ziang was not polite, and quickly took all the treasures here into his pocket. Then, he took out Ning Yuan Dan and couldn't help but hesitate. If you want to maximize the effect of this Ning Yuan Pill, you should naturally take it when refining qi eightfold, so that your cultivation can be improved to the ninth level of qi refining or when you are refining qi ninefold, increasing the chance of breaking through to the wheel realm. But in this illusory space, he desperately needs more strength.
The effect of Ning Yuan Dan can only be used once, and after taking it once, it will be ineffective the next time. Even if he gets it again in the future, he can't continue to increase his cultivation, so he is very hesitant. In the end, Chen Ziang gritted his teeth and took Ning Yuandan. If you lose your life in the illusory space because of your lack of strength, it will be worth the loss!
The fourfold of qi refining and the triple of qi refining are two completely different concepts, because this is the gap between the intermediate and primary levels of qi refining. And the sixfold and sevenfold of qi refining are also a very important threshold for the qi refining realm. Chen Ziang, who had stepped into the fourfold qi refining, felt that his innate qi had improved qualitatively, and his power was more than one or two points stronger than before.
"Peng!" Suddenly, Chen Ziang heard a loud noise, and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from. In this regard, he expected it, I am afraid that the pseudo-array he arranged has been seen through by Nalan Zi. Fortunately, he had already completed the breakthrough, otherwise if Nalan Zi was allowed to break through before Ning Yuan Dan was exhausted, he would be really dangerous. Sure enough, after dozens of breaths, a figure swept in, it was Nalan Zi.
After Nalan Zi came in, he looked around, and saw that there was nothing around, only Chen Ziang was standing here, so he said in a cold tone: "You have taken all the treasures?" Chen Ziang smiled: "If I say that this place is empty, do you believe it?" "Of course I don't believe it!" "Then I don't have to answer?" Chen Ziang spread his hands. "Hand over the things, and I'll let you go. ”
"Impossible!" "Then there's nothing to say. ”
The next moment, Nalan Zi didn't say a word, and swept over a spiritual light. Seeing this, Chen Ziang did not dodge, but strode forward directly and met it with a punch. After a loud bang, Chen Ziang's fist blocked the spiritual ray. The attack of the Qi Refining Sixfold Cultivator was taken by him unscathed!
In fact, Chen Ziang now has phantom steps, and he really has the concealment technique in his hand, if he really wants to escape, Nalan Zi is helpless. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave, but wanted to use the battle with Nalan Zi to see how far he and the Qi Refining Sixfold Cultivator could fight now. Nalan Zi saw that the blow was fruitless, and he also found that Chen Ziang had shown the cultivation of the fourfold qi refining, his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then his hands were sealed, forming a magic trick.
"Purple Light Spiritual Technique!" After she snorted, she channeled a large amount of purple spiritual light, like a stream of light, sweeping around Chen Ziang. Every purple aura contains a powerful aura that should not be underestimated. Chen Ziang quickly formed an aura shield with his innate qi to resist the attack of the purple aura. A stream of spiritual light fell on the air cover, although it did not break through, but every time it hit, the air cover shook violently, and it seemed that it could burst the air cover at any time.
When Chen Ziang's aura shield clashed with the purple spiritual light, Nalan Zi himself stepped on the streamer, rushed to Chen Ziang's body in an instant, and threw out a set of spiritual needles, all of which flew towards Chen Ziang. This set of spirit needles belongs to a low-grade magic weapon, and Nalan Zi didn't have much experience when she used it with the triple cultivation of qi refining before, but when she used the sixfold cultivation of qi refining to exert it, she showed an amazing sharpness. Chen Ziang had no doubt that any spirit needle, as long as it touched his qi hood, could instantly destroy the qi hood.
Therefore, he did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out the "Soul Bell" to greet him. The Soul Swinging Bell shook, causing ripples, and it was frozen with the spirit needle. After all, the Soul Swinging Bell is a medium-grade magic weapon, which is a grade higher than the Spirit Needle, even if Chen Ziang's level is lower than that of Nalan Zi, he can fight with it with this bell.
Nalan Zi had already suffered a loss from the Soul Swinging Bell, so this time he was prepared, and after seeing Chen Ziang use the Soul Swinging Bell, he immediately reacted, controlling the spirit needles to disperse and hit Chen Ziang one by one. These spirit needles, even if there is only one, have a lot of power, so that Chen Ziang can only use the Soul Swinging Bell to constantly block them. However, in this way, his innate qi was consumed, and it also became quite intense.
If it hadn't broken through to the fourth level of qi refining, and Nalan Zidou would have been exhausted by now. Even if he already had the cultivation of the fourfold qi refining, nearly half of the innate qi had already been consumed. On the other hand, Nalan Zi, the control spirit seemed to be nothing to her, and her aura reserves were still strong. Obviously, Nalan Zi did not fight hard with Chen Ziang because of his self-reckless cultivation, but wanted to win the war of attrition.
This way of fighting really caught Chen Ziang's shortcomings. However, Chen Ziang also knew that it would be extremely unfavorable for him to continue fighting like this, so he would not let the situation change. Soon, his figure flashed, and he jumped several feet away, and without using the Soul Swinging Bell, the attack of the Spirit Needle was missed. Then, he dodged the spirit needles in the same way several times, and even if those spirit needles were under the control of Nalan Zi, they could not catch Chen Ziang.
Compared with the Soul Swinging Bell, the biggest advantage of the Shadow Step is naturally that it does not consume too much innate qi, and he can freely change his body shape, which can also hinder Nalan Zi's vision, and after all considerations, he decided to use the Phantom Step.
