Chapter 4: The Cave
In the depths of the mountain behind the Lingyun Sect, there were lush towering trees everywhere, and a figure was moving forward cautiously, it was the night dust that had just finished cultivating.
Although the higher-level demon beasts on the back mountain were almost cleaned up by the masters of the Lingyun Sect, there were still some low-level demon beasts from the third to sixth levels of Qi cultivation left for the inner disciples to practice.
Yechen cautiously moved towards the location of the cave on the map, although he came in a few times ago, and it was a cultivation of the second layer of qi training that came in to find the cave marked on the map, but this cultivation was the third layer of qi training, but Yechen still didn't dare to be careless, the weakest demon beasts on the back mountain are all the third layer of qi training, and the general cultivation is a demon beast of the fourth layer of qi training, and it is not something that you can deal with if you pop out casually, if you come to a demon beast with a fifth layer of qi training or a sixth layer of qi training, you won't burp directly.
When there were still more than 300 meters away from the cave, Yechen stopped, climbed the big tree next to him, and stood on the fork of the top of the tree, which just happened to see the movement of the cave, and the dense leaves under him really covered his figure.
It's not that Yechen doesn't want to go directly into the cave, but next to the cave is a demon beast with a sixth-level qi cultivation, which was almost discovered when he was found here last time.
It was a red golden tiger, the red golden tiger was a metallic demon beast with few opponents in attack power among demon beasts of the same level, and it was called the red golden tiger because of its long red hair.
The Red Golden Tiger shook his head and walked out of his lair, obviously he had just woken up hungry and was just about to go out to look for blood food, he glanced back at the lair, and found that there was nothing wrong with his legs, and he disappeared from the field of vision of the night dust in an instant.
"Not only is this Red Golden Tiger outrageously powerful in attack, but even its speed is so fast, if you meet it, you probably don't have much hope of escaping. Yechen thought to himself.
After a while after the Red Golden Tiger left, Yechen slowly climbed down from the big tree where he was hiding, vigilantly inspected the surrounding area, and then quickly rushed into the cave.
The cave was dark, and Night Dust took out a piece of luminous stone for lighting, and slowly walked to the inside of the cave, carefully inspecting the side wall of the cave as he walked.
The night dust found that it did not seem to be formed naturally, but as if it had been directly blasted through by some kind of force, and the hand did not look rough to the touch, and some places still looked a little smooth, as if those rough places were the traces left by the long years.
"In this way, the cave should have existed for a long time, at least 10,000 years, after such a long time, I don't know what treasures are left, I hope I won't return empty-handed" Yechen thought as he walked.
After walking straight for more than 50 meters, he walked to the end of the cave, and a hole with a diameter of more than one meter appeared in front of him on the ground at the end.
From above, the ground hole is tilted down at a 90-degree angle, and it is also black, and the ground hole is covered with dense complex patterns, which seems to be a small formation.
Yechen looked at the hole with a tangled face, "I can't go down, this hole is so small, I don't even have to hide when I encounter danger, it's tangled."
After hesitating for a moment, Yechen took out the magic weapon dagger and held it in his hand, gritting his teeth, "I can't bear the wolf in the child's hand, I fight"
Immediately, his feet supported the side wall, and his back was also close to the mountain wall and slowly slid down, halfway there was no barb or anything as Yechen imagined, but he slid smoothly to the end, and suddenly slid into a huge cave, nearly 100 meters wide, and the height was more than 50 meters high, and there was a small pool with a diameter of more than five meters in the middle of the cave, and there was a small stone platform recessed in the middle of the pool, and three white beads the size of a fist surrounded the stone platform in a triangle.
Night Dust glanced around, saw that there was nothing else, and slowly approached the small pool.
"It's actually a little guy who wants to practice qi at the third level, although his cultivation is a little weak, but he can save a lot of effort" Just halfway through, a gloomy voice sounded in his ears.
As soon as the words fell, a black light shot directly into the eyebrows of the night dust, and before the night dust could react, it had already disappeared into the eyebrows, and as the black mang's eyes gradually dimmed, the body slowly fell to the hard ground.
In the depths of the sea of knowledge, a vague black figure appeared in front of the night dust soul.
"Who are you and why did you attack me," Yechen asked in a bit of a panic. I can't help but be unflustered at night, after all, it is such a thing that appears in my own sea of knowledge, if there is any intention for myself, the soul in the sea of knowledge does not have much ability to resist.
"Hehe, your little doll is really interesting, my soul has appeared in the middle of your sea and asked me why, of course, it's for the sake of taking away," the black shadow smiled a little grimly.
Immediately turned into a black light and shot at the soul of the night dust, the night dust turned pale, and when he was about to reflexively escape, an same black light shrouded around the night dust, the difference was that the black light shrouded around the night dust appeared extremely deep and vast, as if the endless black night was vast, but the previous black light seemed eerie and evil.
After the two rays of light collided, the black light shrouded around him disappeared without a trace, and the gloomy and evil black light flew back as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and at the same time a frightened voice came out, "How is it possible, what kind of spirit, wasn't the spirit race almost wiped out by my demon race in ancient times, and the remnants of the spirit could not have a spirit at all"
After the black cover around the night dust disappeared, a familiar jade plaque appeared in front of him, it was the jade plaque left by his mother, the next moment the jade plaque was broken, and after it was broken, the little white light slowly turned into a deep black, and then gathered together, and a few breaths condensed into the figure of an old man in a black robe.
As soon as the black-robed old man appeared, he shouted at the black mang from before, "The little demon clan also dares to take away the descendants of my spirit clan, and I don't know what is dead or alive."
Immediately, his hands flew up, and a black fishing net instantly saw the black mangs wrapped in the previous one. As soon as he wrapped himself in the net, a violent scream came out, and after only a few breaths, he was depressed, and there was no movement.
Ye Chen looked at the old figure in front of him, except for the short moment of surprise and stunned before, he regained his composure, what his mother left behind should not be harmful to him, and this figure gave him an unusually reassuring and calm feeling, as if he was beside the elders.
"Thank you seniors for saving your life," Yechen said respectfully to the black-robed old man.
"Well, don't 、、、be a guest" The black-robed old man turned around and looked at Ye Chen, and before he finished speaking, he stared at Ye Chen with wide eyes, and stared at him for dozens of breaths.
Yechen was stunned, and said nervously, "Senior, is there any problem?"
"Ahem, boy, let me ask you, are you from the Ye family?" said the old man with some embarrassment.
"Back to my predecessors, my name is Yechen, but I don't know what Yejia is. Nightdust replied with a strange voice.
"Well, the surname is Ye, that's right, but how can you not know the Ye family, stretch out your hand and let me see," the old man said.
Yechen gave birth to his right hand according to his words, and the old man in black robe investigated it and suddenly said, "I see, no wonder you don't know anything, it turned out that it was sealed, but it is indeed the descendant of my night spirit clan, I didn't think that this glimmer of hope left back then can really be realized, it seems that the rise of my spirit clan is hopeful, let's go, go out first, the place where you are now is a little unbelievable" The old man in black robe disappeared directly into the sea of knowledge after speaking.
Knowing the world, Yechen slowly opened his eyes, shook his head that was a little dizzy, got up from the ground, looked at the figure of the old man who had become a little illusory, and asked, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
The old man smiled kindly at Yechen and said, "Don't call your predecessors, call me ancestor, the night family was founded by me."
"Well, ancestor," Yechen saluted respectfully.
"Okay, don't worry too much about the number of etiquette, I don't like those, there is nothing I can give you when we meet for the first time, you can take this soul bead, this is the demon soul that has just gathered in your sea of knowledge, the demon should be a demon in the clutch period before his death, the demon nature was refined by me, and there is only pure soul power and a feeling he had before his death, and it will be of great help to you in the early stage" The old man in the black robe said lightly.
"Thank you, Ancestor," Yechen said in ecstasy.
Yechen didn't know what the concept of a monk in the clutch period was, he only knew that it should be above the Jindan period, after all, the strongest monk in the eastern region of the Heavenly Eagle Empire was also in the Jindan stage, and how could a small outer disciple of Yechen know too many things.
"Well, let's refine it quickly, I don't have much time, and I still have important things to do later," the black-robed old man said a little lonely, and after speaking, a black light shrouded the night dust.
In less than an hour, the light around Ye Chen's body slowly collected into his body, and after looking inside, he felt a burst of ecstasy, "Cultivation has directly broken through to the seventh layer of Qi training, and my soul strength has increased a lot, it seems to be more than three times as much as before."
Night dust suddenly seems to be in a dream, soul strength has a vital role in cultivation, and it is very useful for willpower and breakthrough advancement, and alchemy exercises or making talismans have high requirements for soul perception, and soul perception is the strength and weakness of the soul to put it bluntly, and even some exercises and spells have high requirements for soul strength, but if you want to improve your soul strength, except for some extremely rare genius earth treasures, it is to break through the realm, and every breakthrough can increase almost half of the pre-soul strength, that is to say, the soul strength of Ye Chen's soul is equivalent to the soul strength of a monk in the distraction period, and the imagination is a little terrifying, but he doesn't know anything about these things for the rookie of Night Dust.
"Ancestor, I'm done refining" Ye Chen looked at the black-robed old man with joy.
The black-robed old man looked at Ye Chen, and said, "Refining, good?" After speaking, he pointed at the center of Ye Chen's eyebrows, and after a moment retracted his finger and said, "I have sealed our Spirit Clan's method of cultivating the Spirit into the depths of your sea of consciousness, and when you cultivate your Divine Thoughts, you can cultivate the Spirit, you must remember that this cultivation method is never allowed to be passed on." ”
Yechen nodded and said, "Ancestor, I understand. ”
The black-robed old man nodded with satisfaction, and then said lightly towards the pool in the center of the cave, "Old friend, I haven't come out to see you after coming for so long, so I can't do it, I don't have much time." ”
