Chapter 122: Main Quest - Level 4!
Qin Chuan opens the information interface and views the taskbar in detail.
Sure enough, at this time, in addition to the "Refining Inheritance" and "Runic Inheritance" tasks that have been accumulated for a long time and have not been completed for a long time, a new task has been added:
Main Quest: Sect Level Raised to Level 4 Quest Requirements: Send at least five disciples to explore the Jiuqu Huilong Cave and obtain at least four treasures from the cave for a period of thirty days. If the number of treasures obtained is insufficient, or the time limit is exceeded, or if the disciple of the disciple dies, the mission will fail.
Under the requirements of the mission, a small map is also displayed, which clearly marks the location of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.
After reading this information, Qin Chuan's feelings in his heart were quite complicated, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
In the Nine Curves Back to the Dragon Cave, the powerful formation prohibition can be seen everywhere, and there are also many fierce demon beasts. If you don't have a detailed plan at hand, if you go into the cave to complete the task of upgrading to the fourth level of the sect, you will definitely die.
From this point of view, the task rewards given when destroying the Huijian Gate are really rich! Because, this is to give the Feather Gate a life!
Holding the detailed picture, Qin Chuan's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly. He has always felt that the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilong Cave is very valuable, but it is not until today that he has deeply realized the true value of this picture!
However, even with the detailed drawings in hand, this exploration was not an easy one. Because, the vitality provided to me in the picture is fleeting. If you grasp it well, you can naturally harvest a large number of treasures; But if you don't grasp it well, the future of the sect and your own future will be buried in the cave.
Qin Chuan exhaled lightly and spread out the details of the Nine Songs Back to the Dragon Cave on the table.
Inside the cave, the demon beasts are powerful, and the power of the formation is amazing. After encountering it, although it is not certain to die, there is only a glimmer of life. If you can't grasp it, you may be killed on the spot at any time. And according to the requirements of the mission, at least five people must go in.
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious and cautious.
As for the candidates to enter the hole, there is basically no need to think about it. Liu Guanyu, Chen Hao, Su Qianxue, and Cao Xiaolazy, the four strongest people in the Yuhua Gate, will go out of the mountain together this time, follow themselves into the hole, and fight for the future of the Yuhua Gate!
"Someone! Hurry up and invite the four elders to the sect hall to discuss matters! After some careful consideration, Qin Chuan had already made a preliminary plan.
From now on, the four elders had to temporarily put aside all the work at hand and use all their energy to familiarize themselves with the various arrangements inside the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.
As for yourself, you need to go to the location of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave to check it out on the spot, understand the situation, and then consider the next plan.
In addition, thanks to the assistance of the Wind Spirit Bird, Qin Chuan already knew the topography of the mountains and rivers in the southwest of the Kunxu Mountain Range well. After seeing the location of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave provided by the head system, he immediately found that the cave was very close to the location of a major local sect, the Feiyun Gate.
The Feiyun Sect is here, and it is second only to the Great River Sword Sect and the Innate Sect. There are many upper-level masters in the Qi cultivation period in the sect, and their strength is far beyond what the Feather Sect can compete with at this time.
In this way, Feiyunmen has become a potential hidden danger.
You must do a good job of exploring and finding a proper route into the cave, so as to obtain the treasure and complete the task without alarming the Flying Cloud Gate. If they receive the news and covet it, I am afraid it will be very troublesome.
When Qin Chuan was contemplating and thinking, the four elders had already walked in one after another. Although the meeting had just dispersed and left, since the head of the sect had summoned them, they did not dare to delay and rushed back as soon as possible.
"Senior Brother Chief, I don't know what you have to tell us when you summon us?" Among the four elders, Liu Guanyu had the highest status, and he also asked at this time.
Qin Chuan pointed to the detailed map placed on the table and said to them, "The cave painted on this picture is called Jiuqu Huilong Cave. It's dangerous, but it's also full of treasures. Moreover, those treasures are essential to this gate. In the past few days, all the junior brothers and sisters will put aside the work at hand for the time being, and make every effort to study this detailed map. Wait for my news and explore the Secret Cave. ”
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless legends about ancient relics and immortal caves. At this time, when everyone heard Qin Chuan say that there was a secret cave containing treasures, they were all very interested, and they stepped forward to carefully look at the map.
The nine-curved Huilong Cave on the drawing has a very unique structure. At the outermost end are nine entrances of the same shape and size, each connected to a long cave.
The nine caves meander and circulate, staggering and branching off. The route is intricate. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you can easily get lost.
Qin Chuan has seen this picture countless times, and he knows it well, so he doesn't need to look at it again at this time. He stretched out his finger and pointed to one of the nine caves, and said to everyone, "The Divine Yang Xuantie in this cave is one of the items we must get on this trip. Everyone must be familiar with the formation changes in this cave, and there must be no negligence. ”
Zhiyang Xuantie is an agreement that Qin Chuan has reached with Qiu Chengfeng a long time ago. Obtaining this treasure will not only be able to complete the task of "Refining Weapon Inheritance", but also be able to recruit a master for the sect whose strength has reached at least the Great Perfection realm of the Qi cultivation period, which cannot be missed no matter what.
In addition to the cave where the Zhiyang Xuantie was located, Qin Chuan selected three routes with the smallest obstacles from the remaining eight routes for everyone to remember carefully.
After all, this matter involves the main quest of the sect to upgrade to the fourth level, and you can't be blindly greedy, or focus on stability.
As for the remaining five routes, it is enough to give the four elders a general understanding. The task must be completed within 30 days. Therefore, the sooner they act, the less time they have to fully remember the conditions in each cave.
Anyway, Qin Chuan felt that even if he encountered an emergency, he couldn't take the four established routes, and his understanding of the details must be enough to deal with it.
After explaining the details of the map, Qin Chuan walked out of the main hall, rode up to the spirit crane in the sky, and galloped away towards the north wind.
There are hidden dangers inside and outside the cave, and the situation must be investigated well and prepared in advance.
The Chongxiao Spirit Crane flapped its wings, as fast as the wind, carrying Qin Chuan to gallop in the sky. Based on the map given by the master system, Qinchuan had a clear goal, and after a period of time, he finally locked the approximate location of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave from the deep mountains shrouded in clouds.
It turned out that the cave was located under a very deep cliff, hidden by thick clouds and dense jungle, and it was almost impossible to find it unless there was a special reason.
While Qin Chuan unfolded his divine sense and guarded the surroundings, he ordered the Chongxiao Spirit Crane to slowly fall off the cliff.
After arriving safely at the bottom of the cliff, Qin Chuan cast a wood-based spell to control the grass and trees to clear the way for himself, and at the same time cheered up and searched everywhere.
After about a stick of incense, he suddenly shook and stopped. Because, there was a scene in front of me that was very similar to the one drawn on the detailed map of the Nine Songs Back to the Dragon Cave!
On the majestic mountain opposite, weeds and vines are entangled. Under the cover of weeds and vines, nine black caves were faintly revealed.
The nine caves are very similar in shape and size, and I am afraid that they were not formed naturally, but were dug by man. I don't know if it will be a cave left by a certain predecessor.
These caves should be the Nine Curves Huilong Cave! Although it is dark inside the cave, what is hidden inside is the bright future of Yuhuamen!
Although through the detailed map, Qin Chuan already has a good understanding of the structure in the cave. But after all, a map is just a map, and it's better to go a little deeper and get a sense of the situation on the ground.
Qin Chuan thought this as he slowly approached one of the caves, ready to observe the situation inside.
Who knows, just after taking a few steps, Qin Chuan's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly held his breath and hid among the nearby trees.
He was cautious, and although he didn't encounter any accidents along the way, he still used his divine sense to shroud his surroundings and pay close attention to movements.
At this time, he suddenly hid, because his divine sense noticed that there was actually someone in the Jiuqu Hui Dragon Cave!
Hiding in the bushes, Qin Chuan's heart was greatly surprised.
As soon as he received the news of the appearance of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave prompted by the head system, he rushed here almost immediately. I thought that no one else would know the secrets of the cave, but why would there be people in the cave?
Who the hell could be in there? Is it the owner of the Nine Songs Back to the Dragon Cave? Or someone else who also knows the cave's secrets?
When he was secretly guessing, he saw that in the cave on the far left, there was a sudden loud wind, and then three people rushed out of the air and landed not far from the hidden place of Qin Chuan.
Seeing the clothes on these three people, Qin Chuan's face immediately changed - these three people are all disciples of Feiyun Sect!
Originally, they were still thinking about how to avoid alarming the Feiyun Gate, but they didn't expect that they had already entered the cave first!
Qin Chuan's heart couldn't help but sink. This main quest not only limits the time, but also limits the number of people entering the cave, the number of treasures taken, and no one dies, which is already strict enough. If you add Feiyun Gate to stir outside, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!
However, Qin Chuan has never been a person who retreats when he encounters difficulties. Under this situation, it inspired him to have a stronger fighting spirit.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! The difficulties ahead are enormous, but the treasures that await you in the cave are also incomparably rich! What's more, there are various mission rewards after completing the main quest.
One word - value!
Two words - fight!
There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. With the big killer weapon of the detailed map of the Nine Songs Huilong Cave in his hand, even if there are many sects, Qin Chuan has the confidence to successfully maneuver around and become the biggest winner!
Of course, it's good to have confidence, but it's important to keep a low profile. At this time, Qin Chuan had already secretly investigated, and found that the three Feiyun Sect disciples in front of him were actually all seventh-level cultivators in the Qi cultivation period. If you make the slightest move, I'm afraid you will be discovered by them immediately!
The three Feiyun Sect disciples all looked panicked at this time, and they didn't notice that anyone was lurking beside them. I saw one of the Daoists with an injury on his left shoulder first: "That demon beast is really amazing!" The teeth are sharp and the claws are sharp, the mouth spits lightning, and the line is like thunder. If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhao's top-level magic weapon to block it, I'm afraid we would all be killed in this hole! ”
A red-robed Taoist next to him whose hair had been cut off in half and looked extremely embarrassed also spoke: "Although we escaped with our surname, Senior Brother Zhao was swallowed alive by the demon beast. He is a beloved disciple of the master, how should we explain it when we go back! ”
The other Feiyun Sect disciple was short and stocky, and he was the ugliest of the three, but his body was intact. At this time, he said: "It is a great luck to be able to escape with my surname, even if I go back and be punished, it is better than burying myself in the belly of a demon beast." Besides, if we run for our lives, we can also bring back important information to the sect. The hundred-year-old elixir in the cave, you have all seen it. And I believe that there must be better treasures in the depths of the cave. It's just that the lightning demon beast is really strong, and if there is no elder-level figure to come out, it can't be matched at all. ”
"Senior Brother Fang is right, when the demon beast rushed out of the cave, I felt that there was an unusually strong aura fluctuation, and it must be the aura emitted by the Supreme Treasure!"
Qin Chuan secretly listened to the conversation between the three of them, and immediately understood that these Feiyun Sect disciples should have encountered a third-level demon beast in the cave, the Lightning Owl.
The strength of the third-level demon beast is basically equivalent to that of a human cultivator between the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation period and the Great Perfection.
According to the records on the detailed map, although the cultivation of the lightning owl is only equivalent to the Great Perfection level of human beings, it can almost compete with the monks in the early stage of foundation building with its strong ** and super fast speed.
The strength of these Feiyun Sect disciples in front of him was not enough for him to plug his teeth. It seems that they disregarded the friendship of their classmates and left that "Senior Brother Zhao" as cannon fodder, so they escaped with their surnames.
Although these people are not righteous, their guesses are correct. In the cave guarded by the lightning owl, not only is the elixir growing vigorously, but there is indeed a refining treasure called "Na Ling Ding".
It's just that although the treasure is good, with the strength of the Feiyun Gate at the highest level of the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, I am afraid it is not enough to get this treasure from the protection of the lightning owl.
Just as he was thinking like this, Qin Chuan's divine sense suddenly felt a strong coercion. He was shocked in his heart, knowing that there was a master whose cultivation far surpassed his own. He hurriedly shrank his consciousness back and tried his best to restrain his breath. so as not to be noticed by the other party.
Sure enough, I saw an elderly monk with a high crown and long beard, a hand-cranked feather fan, and an old monk who was about sixty years old floated down from mid-air and landed in front of the three Feiyun Sect disciples.
The three Feiyun Sect disciples hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting in their mouths: "Disciple see the master!" ”
It turned out that this old man was Cao Gongze, the head of Feiyun Gate!
Qin Chuan has been carefully searching for information about other sects for more than a year, and although today is the first time he has seen the head of Feiyun Sect, he has long known about Cao Gongze's information.
He is sixty-four years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Qi cultivation stage, and he is one of the few masters in the southwest area of the Kunxu Mountain Range. The feather fan in his hand is an extremely powerful top-level magic weapon-Fengxuan Fan. It is said that the power can even rival that of ordinary spiritual weapons.
Even the Changhe Sword Sect and the Xiantian Sect, the two top sects that dominate this place, also treated Cao Gongze with courtesy.
As soon as this guy arrived, the situation immediately became critical. With Qin Chuan's current cultivation, once discovered, in front of him, there would not even be a chance to escape.
"Get up." Cao Gongze gently shook the feather fan and said to the three disciples with an expressionless face.
The three disciples stood up, you look at me, I look at you, after hesitating for a while, the disciple with the wounded left shoulder finally had the courage to speak: "Master Qiqi, I'll wait for the four of you to enter the cave......"
Who knows, Cao Gongze didn't seem to want to hear what he said, so he immediately waved his feather fan and interrupted him: "There is no need to talk about this matter for the time being, you wait for the three of you to return to the sect quickly and wait for the order." ”
"Yes!" After the three disciples bowed to the master, they successively picked up the magic weapons and flew away.
After the three disciples left, Cao Gongze suddenly turned around, stared at the bushes where Qin Chuan was hiding, and said coldly: "Daoist friends have been hiding here for a long time, so it's time to show up and see each other, right?" ”
When Qin Chuan heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. I tried my best to hide it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Cao Gongze. The ninth-level master of the Qi training period is really unfathomable.
Under the precautions of such masters, if you want to escape, you will not succeed at all. Qin Chuansuo's surname didn't do this useless work, and stood up calmly and faced Cao Gongze.
"Master Cao, you're polite." Qin Chuan arched his hand to Cao Gongze and said.
Cao Gongze saw through Qin Chuan's cultivation at a glance that he only had the seventh layer of Qi cultivation period, his eyes flashed with disdain, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency is hiding here to peep into the secrets of this sect, is this polite or rude?" ”
Qin Chuan put on an innocent look and said, "Master Cao has misunderstood. I just passed by this place unintentionally, without any peeping. ”
"Hmph, such a coincidence, it can be seen that Your Excellency has a lot of fate with this sect. It's better to follow the old man to Feiyunmen to talk about it! Of course, Cao Gongze would not believe Qin Chuan's words.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.
Cao Gongze's thoughts, of course Qin Chuan understood. The caves left behind by our ancestors often contain rich treasures. If the news leaks, it will definitely arouse the coveting of other sects. Cao Gongze obviously wanted to monopolize the treasure in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, and he would never let himself go.
If you can't deal with it well, I'm afraid that you will die and not live today.
"Master Cao, although I overheard a few conversations between your disciples, I didn't know why at all. Still, I would like to assure you that after you leave, you will never mention anything about this place to anyone else. What do you think? ”
Cao Gongze waved his feather fan, and a ruthless color flashed on his face: "Don't talk nonsense!" Come with me obediently, you can live a few more days, if you are obsessed, you will be scattered immediately! ”
A resolute look appeared on Qin Chuan's face, and he said, "Since Master Cao insists on forcing each other, then you have no choice but to be polite!" ”
Cao Gongze couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's only the seventh layer of the Qi training period, and you dare to shout in front of the old man!" In front of Feng Xuan Fan, you can't even keep your bones! ”
