Chapter 745: Treasure and Conspiracy
Tao Yuanzi walked along the dark road for a long time, passing through several forks in the road. Although he deliberately chooses a path that does not have the breath of other treasure hunters every time, the end of each path is a dead end. It's as if the god of luck has turned his back on him, and all that remains is bad luck.
But he didn't care, the treasure of the Silver Horde Court was not something worth caring about to him, he had come all the way, what he was looking for was experience, and what he pursued was to grow through experience and continue to grow stronger.
As long as it becomes stronger, treasures or something, can't you still worry about accumulating them? And only when you become strong enough can you have the ability to protect your treasure.
In fact, Tao Yuanzi carried a lot of treasures, if a senior powerhouse killed him, he would find that what he killed was not a mere health cultivator, but a legendary treasure mimic monster, and he would get a huge harvest that was enough to surprise the Immortal Heavenly Monarch.
For example, his Four Elephant Beads, one alone is only a treasure of the Cave Void Realm, but the set of four is enough for those Heavenly Monarchs who have just stepped into the Immortal Realm to use for a long time.
And the four elephant beads are only one of his treasures, which is relatively not very eye-catching.
Wu Jie, who was inexperienced, did not have the consciousness of incarnating outside the body as a consumable, and in his opinion, Tao Yuanzi was tantamount to taking risks for himself. As an honest and honest person, of course he will try his best to equip Taoyuanzi with the best equipment, if there is really anything to take, as long as he can use it, he doesn't care about the price at all.
In fact, this practice does not conform to the principle of "incarnation experience" - when others send an out-of-body incarnation to experience, they usually just give a guaranteed thing, and the rest depends on the out-of-body incarnation to fight by themselves, so that they can experience more dangers and get the full effect of the experience.
But the experience of incarnation outside the body was not a very popular method in the first place, and Wu Xie had very little relevant information at hand. Such mistakes will be made, but they are inevitable.
Or maybe this is not actually a mistake, but the inevitable result of Wu Jie's character.
Momogenko thought about these questions casually, and walked unhurriedly in the dark.
His gait was steady, without any hint of impatience or nervousness. Because he didn't care about this treasure, and he didn't have any urgent goals, his heart was leisurely, and his steps were naturally relaxed and calm.
Though...... This one is another dead end, and once again in vain.
He just smiled, turned around, and continued to look for the next path.
In fact, a few more dead ends are not a big deal. It is said that in order to study electric lamps and find more suitable filament materials, the inventor Edison experimented with more than 1,000 kinds of filament materials, but all failed. Someone comforted him, but he said, "It's not a failure, at least I know that these more than a thousand materials can't work." ”
The same is true for Tao Yuanzi.
Walked a dead end, walked a lot of dead ends, so what? At least he already knew that these roads were not going to work, and at least he had drawn a large map.
The days went by, and he trekked and searched for years in the dark treasure cave.
The treasure cave had apparently used Sumeru's mustard methods, and on the whole, he had traveled enough to traverse the entire Mullan steppe, perhaps a round trip—as long as it wasn't across the widest places. But according to the map he drawn, it seems that he has only walked through a small corner of the treasure cave.
He felt that the path in the treasure cave seemed to change, and the pattern of change was very chaotic, and he had not counted it so far. But he was at least sure of one thing - don't look at the poor protection of the corridors here, but if you want to rely on violence to pass through the wall, you will definitely not work.
Because not long ago, he met a rat spirit. The rat spirit in the early stage of the Yang God said that he was good at digging holes, and he once wanted to dig holes here to advance, but it didn't take long for him to be teleported by a force that didn't know where it came from, and he went directly to tens of thousands of miles away.
This rat spirit is quite talkative, perhaps because he recognized that the form changed by Tao Yuanzi belongs to a scavenger and does not like to eat live food, except for the fact that he was frightened at the beginning, he quickly regained his composure, and volunteered to be a guide and explored with Tao Yuanzi for a while.
This guy named "Adi" has lived in the Monte Mountains since he was a child, and most of his life has been spent in this treasure cave in the Monte Mountains, and he is really a ghost in the ground. Its familiarity with the treasure cave is simply impressed by Tao Yuanzi - this guy only needs to take a look and smell it, and he knows where he is in the treasure cave now, and he also knows where it is safer to go, and where there may be treasures.
In the half a year with it, Taoyuanzi's luck has improved significantly. Although he encountered several very unfriendly monsters one after another, and fought several times, he did not encounter an enemy who required him to show real kung fu, and he has always hidden his identity well.
Half a year later, Ah Di decided to end this adventure and return to the mountains to continue his cultivation. Because they found a very good magic weapon in a real treasure house, although the spiritual power has been almost lost, but the abundant spiritual energy contained in it is extraordinary. Tao Yuanzi gave this treasure to Ah Di, which made this rat spirit who had been delayed for thousands of years in the initiation stage of the Yang God very moved.
The Mulan grassland is indeed full of spiritual energy, but the demon clan here is not good at alchemy, and they can only swallow any spiritual grass and the like, and the digestion and absorption are not good, but they often accumulate a large amount of toxicity in the body - in fact, toxicity is medicinal properties, and the medicinal power that cannot be fully absorbed is poison.
If it's just medicine and poison, the worst thing is that the spiritual veins of this Mulan grassland are also very mixed, and this poor rat spirit has no decent exercises, so he can only rely on racial instinct to absorb spiritual energy. Over the years, a large amount of xenomorph aura has accumulated in its body, which has seriously hindered its daily cultivation, so that although its skills are profound, its cultivation has never been able to improve.
And the aura contained in this magic weapon is very pure, just like an awl to pierce the accumulated alien aura in his body, so that it can start a new round of efficient cultivation. And the machine spirit that was almost exhausted would help him drain the useless xenomorph aura in his body, and even suck the poison in his body, which had the effect of being reborn.
In other words, it's a win-win situation.
Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, in this Monte Mountain Range, there will be a powerful Rat Clan True Immortal, as well as a powerful magic weapon that has been reborn.
After Ah Di said goodbye and left, Tao Yuanzi returned to the state of searching for treasures alone. And his luck has also returned to its previous bad condition.
Dead end after dead end, occasionally either dead end, or a treasure trove that has been explored by previous people.
This situation is enough to frustrate ordinary people with a strong character, but Tao Yuanzi doesn't care about it, and even uses it as a tempering of his Dao heart.
Admittedly, this grinding is really a bit shallow, and there is not much strength. But as long as it's not useless, he's a very contented person.
On this day—perhaps night, day and night, which is really not visible here—he was walking slowly through the dark corridors, and came to another hall. This hall is also four branches, and it doesn't look like anything special.
But for some reason, his heart suddenly moved, as if he sensed something in the dark.
Although the feeling was fleeting, he stopped and frowned.
Unlike Wu Jie, who has changed his fundamental exercises, Taoyuanzi's fundamental exercises are the three parts of the Fighting God Fire Thunder Plague. The real core of it is neither the righteous and bright Fire Rectification nor the magnificent Thunder Rectification, but the gloomy and mysterious Plague Rectification - Wu Xie refined this Dharma in the Duobao Pagoda and in the process of systematically studying the Plague Rectification. Therefore, although the core of this Dharma appearance of his was the three sets of exercises of fire, thunder, and plague, the core of the core was always the highest and most perfect plague rectification that he had learned at that time.
With the Plague Rectification as the core exercise, Taoyuanzi has some special skills in terms of "fate". As an out-of-body incarnation, he lost his body's innate ability to absolutely avoid divination, but he was compensated for it - he was quite talented in divination, and he was able to manipulate his fate even a little.
For example, before he set off, he consumed countless treasures that were enough to bankrupt a sect like the Purple Electric Sword Sect and fabricated a "history" for himself. If someone wants to divinate "Yang God True Immortal Taoyuanzi", they can only divinate "This person is a monk who has ascended from a small world called 'Taoyuan Township', with extraordinary mana, a righteous person, and is very close to the Yujing faction."
A little inspiration in the dark definitely indicates something!
Perhaps ordinary monks can only choose to retreat and find a safe place to hide from it for 8,000 years. But Tao Yuanzi didn't think so, he pondered for a while, took out a set of precious divination instruments, and calculated for himself.
The results of divination show that in the near future, very important things may be involved, there may be big risks, and there may be big gains.
"Very big thing...... What kind of thing is very important? He muttered to himself in a low voice, "Could it be that the Fighting God and the Divine Gate are finally going to a full-scale war?" ”
Thinking about it carefully, this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with him, even if the Dou God starts a war with the Divine Gate, it is also Wu Jie's business. His mission was only to train in the Great Wilderness Realm.
So, could it be that this Monte Mountain Treasure Cave is about to explode?
"That's not right, even if this treasure cave explodes, or even kills me, it's not a big deal......
He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and leaped into a very inconspicuous little flying insect.
Not only that, but he also cast the Plague Rectification Method to completely cover the aura of this little flying insect. In this way, unless he is seen with the naked eye, it is difficult to find him by divine thought.
Ready, he set off on his way, along the same path he had just felt.
This road seems quite ordinary, and it is no different from other roads. There are traces of previous people walking on the road, and the traces are so faint that they are almost imperceptible.
The strange thing is that this road is very long, and it has been flying for almost half a month, and it still has not reached the end.
During this time, he had a vague feeling in his heart several times, but he was always vague, and he couldn't determine whether it was good or bad, let alone what would happen.
Just like that, he flew and flew, and finally, he came to the end of the road.
Dead end, worthless dead end!
The flying insect that changed in Taoyuanzi turned around in the dead end at the end of the tunnel for a long time, but never found any clues.
Could it be ...... Is this really just an ordinary dead end?
He thought only for a moment, then threw away the plausible explanation.
Ordinary dead end? Which ordinary dead end can make a Yang God True Immortal in the realm of blood rebirth induce?
This! No! Can! Yes!
So he simply stayed at the end of the tunnel, always kept his appearance of turning into a worm, and stopped quietly on the wall. As if I was planning to make a home here, I stayed.
This stay is more than two months.
One day, more than two months later, he suddenly had that kind of feeling again, and this time the feeling was very clear, and the direction was impressive...... The wall at the end of the corridor!
Momogenko, who had transformed into a flying insect, came to the wall at the end of the corridor and took a closer look.
No matter how you look at it, it's a very ordinary wall, nothing special.
So, what's the problem?
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind to cast the Plague Rectification and infiltrate the wall.
This choice is a bit risky, because the walls of the Monte Mountain Treasure Cave are guarded by special formations, whether it is snooping or sabotage, the formation will be touched, causing itself to be teleported out.
Of course, a little snooping or a little destruction will not touch the formation so quickly. According to Adi's experience, it is usually not until the third or fourth time that he is teleported away.
So Tao Yuanzi decided to take a gamble and see what was going on.
The mana penetrated into it and immediately touched the formation here. But the formation only shook slightly at first, and it didn't mean to fight back immediately.
This is consistent with what Ah Di said, which made Tao Yuanzi feel a little relieved.
Although no clues could be found, at least there was hope that it would not be removed directly.
He carefully manipulated the mana, shuttling between the formations, trying to see through the formations to see what was really going on behind them.
After touching the formation again, his mana finally passed through the entire formation and saw the situation on the other side of the wall.
Over there, there is a stone room, which is built quite sturdily, and you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into it. In particular, the stone slabs on the walls have some simple but artistic patterns, which are completely different from the situation inside the treasure cave of Monte Mountain.
"This stone chamber ...... What's going on? ”
He pondered for a moment, then cast the Magic of Change, turning into a beetle that was good at digging holes in the dirt, and digging through the walls along the path that his mana had already traveled, and came to the stone chamber.
Because the mana had already triggered the formation on this road, the way was quite smooth, and until he entered the stone room, he didn't touch the formation again.
The inconspicuous beetle instantly turned into a smaller gnat, perched in the most inconspicuous corner of the stone chamber, carefully observing its surroundings.
It was quiet inside the stone chamber, and there was no one in it. But there is a teleportation array in the center of the stone room, and I don't know what it is used for.
After a long time, the teleportation array suddenly flashed with light, and a horse demon wearing a golden crown walked in.
This horse demon is extraordinary, and it is already the peak cultivation of the Yang God. It emitted a lot of spiritual light, and at a glance, it knew that it carried many powerful magic weapons and magic weapons, and it was simply armed to the teeth.
Tao Yuanzi didn't know this horse demon, but in this Mulan grassland, all horse demons must be characters with status and status. Not to mention that this guy has such a high cultivation and such a rich net worth, he must be a hegemon.
Maybe...... This guy is an important big man in the Five Horse Dynasty that rules the Mulan Grassland!
Among the Five Horse Dynasty, the most powerful was an Immortal Realm Ancestor, followed by several Great Elders of the Cave Void Realm, and then the princes and ordinary elders of the Yang God Realm. Since this horse demon with a golden crown has the cultivation of the peak of the Yang God, he is probably the top figure at the level of prince and elder, and he is almost the most senior ruler in the conventional sense of the entire Mulan grassland.
What is the purpose of such a character suddenly coming to the stone chamber located in the depths of the treasure cave in Monte Mountain?
Tao Yuanzi used the concealment technique of the plague rectification to the extreme, completely covered up his breath, and carefully waited for the next article.
The horse demon was obviously not a very patient person, he walked around the stone chamber, looking impatient, and was still muttering to himself: "Damn profiteers! How to do things is not punctual at all! "Words like that.
After a few more moments, the teleportation array lit up again, and a black-robed figure walked out. Tao Yuanzi noticed the style of the black robe at a glance, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"The Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce? The people of the Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce, how could they be so mysterious? ”
The Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce is a loose alliance of many large business organizations. Its power is quite huge, and there are cooperative shops in almost every country in the Great Wilderness Realm.
The relationship between the Yujing faction and the Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce is not very good, but it is not very bad. Because the Daomen had suffered from "carelessness", they did not allow any foreign organizations to be stationed at the inner gate of Yujing, and although the Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce was huge, it could only establish a stronghold in the outer gate of Yujing - among the three major fang cities of the Yujing faction, Qingyunfang and Lichenfang, they all had their shops. As for the Star Place, which is located in the inner door, they have always wanted to open a shop in it, but they have never been approved.
Tao Yuanzi was wondering, the man wearing the black robe of the Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce had already spoken.
"The price you gave is too low, and it is not possible to jointly attack such a big thing as the Yujing faction, so low the price." The patient man, as he walked around the stone chamber, looked impatient, and was still muttering to himself: "Damned profiteers! How to do things is not punctual at all! "Words like that.
After a few more moments, the teleportation array lit up again, and a black-robed figure walked out. Tao Yuanzi noticed the style of the black robe at a glance, and couldn't help but be stunned.
