Chapter 154: Ten Years Later—Chapter 155: The Cave Opens the Sky!
Yang Tong, who returned to the villa, was busy again, he began to study alchemy, in the inheritance of the Yuqing lineage, it is not without records and inheritance of alchemy, but it is lower than the inheritance of exercises, secret arts and the most subtle refining inheritance. Come to think of it, even the art of double cultivation has been recorded, and alchemy will naturally not be less.
Yang Tong found the formula and alchemy technique of the infant pill in a "Taiyi Danshu". It is not difficult to gather the Danfang, but the difficulty lies in refining.
However, before that, Yang Tong also planned to open a furnace to refine the defensive magic weapon, relying only on the four-grade defensive spirit armor, even if the refining method was innovative, the defense effect was unsatisfactory, or the defense was too simple.
The materials were ready-made, and it took Yang Tong a year to refine two defensive shields, a golden bell. The shield is mainly made of the turtle shell of the Void-level turtle giant brute, adding a large number of various refining materials, refining, Yang Tong has laid forty-eight earth demon prohibitions in it, and it needs to be practiced for a period of time to play its role, and its defensive effect can resist the attack of the Void-level powerhouse, which is quite powerful, in terms of grade, this is a six-grade magic weapon. As for the golden bell, it is really the most difficult magic weapon to refine, and it is also Yang Tong's most proud work in addition to the natal magic weapon.
It is Yang Tong who feels that Lin Yueyin does not have the treasure of soul defense, and draws on the effect of the copper coin in the sea of knowledge, and then draws on the treasure of the Falling Soul Bell, which ranks second in the natal magic weapon, and refines it.
Within this bell, Yang Tong was added to the top divine material, and entered the fifty-six earth demon prohibitions, which is a seven-grade magic weapon, and has the potential to become a spiritual treasure.
Although it is a seven-grade magic weapon in terms of grade, in fact, this golden bell has a single role, and among the seven-grade magic weapons, it is really nothing, the real seven-grade soul defense magic weapon has the effect of attack reflection, Yang Tong's cultivation is limited, and the level is also limited, and he really can't refine this kind of magic effect.
This made Yang Tong quite regretful, but when Yang Tong handed over the golden bell to Lin Yueyin, Lin Yueyin jumped up happily and praised: "Young master, you are already quite amazing, what you have refined is a magic weapon, not a spiritual tool." Soul defense spirit tools, the most inferior are eight-grade spirit tools, among all kinds of spirit tools, soul defense spirit tools are the most valuable, but also the most difficult to refine. Don't be dissatisfied, you must know that the reason why the Void level is so much stronger than the Sky level is the huge difference in soul power. When you first enter the Void Level, it can't be revealed, and when you reach the Void Level 4 or so, the soul power can be used as a means of attack. Soul attacks are the most unguardable and terrifying of all attacks. ”
At this point, Yang Tong knew that the Divine Soul attack was indeed quite terrifying, and the strong could instantly kill the opponent with just one look, and no physical and energy defense could stop it.
When facing the true god in the chaotic space, the true god roared, if it weren't for the Miluo Void Tower that weakened the power of the divine power, I am afraid that with a roar, the two sky-level little monks would have died in a daze.
Divine power is a manifestation of the power of the soul of the true god, and absolute suppression can produce divine might. When facing the true gods of the same level, divine power is useless.
"No matter what, if you have completely refined these two magic weapons, in a few years' time, in the battle of the Void Pure Lotus, in case you encounter a master with a soul attack secret method, you will also have a counter-defense method. Yang Tong commanded cautiously. The Void level can use soul power as a means of attack, which does not mean that no one at the sky level uses soul attacks. Otherwise, why do you need a soul attack secret method?
However, if you want to practice this secret method, only a Divine Mind Master with an inherently strong soul power can do it. No matter how strong a sky-level martial spirit master is, he can't release a soul attack.
In Yang Tong's inheritance, there are indeed soul secret techniques, such as the Second Element Mystic Technique, the Yuqing Yun Dao Sutra, the Fengshen List, etc., but there are few techniques related to soul attack and soul defense. The technique of soul defense is a few records, but it mainly relies on magic weapons. Soul attacks supernatural powers, simply none.
Therefore, relatively speaking, Yang Tong was most afraid of the invisible soul attack.
Just as Yang Tong was preparing for the Prayer Cave Heaven, the news about the Void Pure Lotus also spread, and more and more sky-level monks came to Yongle City.
In fact, not only Yongle Island, but also other counties in the Central Celestial Empire also hold similar activities, and the opportunities are also different, and the senior monks who have experienced these activities can see that this is a screening before recruiting talents planned by the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire.
In the following time, in addition to cultivating in his villa, Yang Tong also participated in several martial arts competitions and Taoist meetings, met many monks of the same level, and also saw different exercises and secret techniques.
There are even geniuses who have begun to create their own secret techniques and find their own paths.
Lin Yueyin also followed Yang Tong to see many different geniuses.
After coming back, Lin Yueyin asked, "Young Master, there is a legend in the monk world that every strong person has his own path. Shouldn't we also forge our own path?"
"Hehe, this legend is true, but that refers to the real strong, what is the real strong? It is estimated that at least it is the existence of the true god or above, we are still weak, there is no need for this. Yang Tong calmly explained to Lin Yueyin: "The reason why there are so many exercises in the monk world is that those strong people have passed them down, so that future generations can cultivate, and after cultivating to a certain height, it is not too late to find their own path." ”
Lin Yuejian Bingxue is smart, and he understands the truth as soon as he hears it, and now to create his own path, first of all, the realm is too far away, and secondly, Shouyuan is not enough to squander it so much. If it is just a simple secret method, there is no secret method at all, if you really want to create your own Great Dao Exercises, the sky level, the void level, but only a few thousand years of life, no matter how talented a genius can not complete it, even if it is the basis of this exercise, it also requires a deep understanding of the law, heaven and earth, the universe, and nature.
Nine years have passed, and in these nine years, Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin have rarely enjoyed a peaceful and fulfilling life.
During this time, Yang Tong also collected all the things that should be collected, and his training in the art of alchemy has also reached the corresponding level, and refining the Infant Pill is no longer a problem.
At the same time, Yang Tong also purchased a lot of natural treasures and provided them to Luobao to repair the damage of copper coins. As long as Yang Tong breaks through to the Void level, he can repair the two rifts by taking advantage of the situation.
That's right, it's just two cracks!
When the Arcana Copper Coin crossed into this world, there were a total of seven cracks, three of which had been repaired, and four remained. According to the normal progress, Yang Tong would need to be promoted to the Sacred Domain level before he could repair the fifth rift.
However, because of the problem of chance, the copper coin itself has been supplemented by a large number of natural treasures, and it already has the necessary conditions to repair the five cracks in the material. What is lacking now is only an opportunity, once Yang Tong is promoted, the copper coin will naturally be repaired.
It has been more than fifty years since Yang Tong was reborn, and during this time, the help given to Yang Tong by the copper coin itself does not seem to be great, because the specifications of the copper coin itself are too high. An immortal treasure, you give it to a earth-level monk, he can only look at it, there is a treasure mountain, and he can't dig it. In the same way, the higher Yang Tong's cultivation, the role of copper coins began to appear. Once the fourth and fifth cracks of the copper coin are repaired this time, the power of the copper coin will begin to exert its magical effect as an immortal treasure.
In addition, in his free time, Yang Tong also practiced other secret methods, such as: Heavenly Thunder, Earth and Fire Divine Power, and the Five Elements Basic Escape Method.
Lin Yueyin is also practicing various secret methods to improve her strength.
Their cultivation time was too short, only more than fifty years, and most of the time was spent on the improvement of cultivation, and the accumulation of other secret methods was far inferior to those veteran monks who had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years.
In addition to casual cultivation, because there are no very good exercises, a monk with a slight background has cultivated for hundreds of years, which one has not cultivated all kinds of secret methods to protect himself?
There are still three months before the opening of Qilian Cave Heaven, Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin came out of retreat, and the ten years of semi-retreat practice have allowed Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin's cultivation to be precipitated and accumulated accordingly, and their strength has also improved a little.
"Yin'er, you take these spiritual tools to the major auction houses to auction, these last three months must be the craziest three months, these things can also be sold for a good price, to fill our purses. Yang Tong took out more than thirty pieces of fourth-grade gold-level spirit tools, these spirit tools can be called the best of the same level spirit tools, and they are absolutely rare to see in ordinary times.
Over the years of cultivation, Yang Tong has spent most of his wealth, and if he doesn't take this opportunity to make a sum of money and make up for some consumption, he will have to face the embarrassment of a shortage of spars after such a long period of retreat and cultivation in the future.
You must know that Yang Tong began to use medium-grade spars to assist in cultivation from the time he stepped into the earth level, and if there was no spar assistance, Yang Tong's cultivation speed would be greatly reduced, which Yang Tong did not allow. In addition, refining tools need spars, alchemy needs spars, arrays need spars, buying materials need spars, and when using the Miluo Void Tower, a large number of spars are also needed as reserve energy if the mana is insufficient.
If it weren't for the harvest of the secret realm of the Fu Tower, Yang Tong would be so poor that he would have to go to the street to ask for food-
Chapter 155: The Cave is Open!
Immediately, Lin Yueyin went out, and this batch of spirit tools was quickly resold, and when it came to a good time and a good location, this batch of spirit tools was sold at a good price, and Yang Tong got rid of the cost and earned nearly three thousand top-grade spars.
Three thousand top-grade spars are not too many, but ordinary sky-level monks, with all their net worth, can be considered quite rich to have three thousand top-grade spars.
Two months passed in an instant, and early in the morning, Ren Pingsheng and the other four people came over and took Yang Tong to Qilian Mountain together. Qilian Mountain is located in the central area of Yongle Island, that area is a wild area, there are many terrestrial brute beasts to survive, in the same way, there will be no formal settlements such as cities in that area, they are all large and small markets composed of monks. There are also quite a few scattered caves built there.
A group of six people, four men and two women, were speeding in the air on medium-sized flying spirit equipment.
Hundreds of these flying spirit tools could be faintly seen around, as well as all kinds of light escapes walking together.
"Tut-tut...... It's not very common. Ren Pingsheng sighed.
"Isn't it, entering the Illusory Demon Mountain this time is not just as simple as fighting for the Void Pure Lotus, the area of the Illusory Demon Mountain, the magic sound is bursting, the phantom wind is rolling, and there are many elixirs and special materials that are effective for the soul. Especially those materials, which are necessary for refining soul defense spirit tools, are quite precious. This time it is opened, and I am afraid that most of the monks' eyes will be on this. Guan Yujie analyzed.
"You know a lot. Yang Tong was quite surprised.
"Hahaha...... It seems that the junior brother doesn't know that the disciples of the Fengyue Sect are the best at inquiring about the news, if you are well-informed, the Fengyue Sect is also quite famous in the entire Fengxuan Continent. Ren Pingsheng explained to Yang Tong.
"Oh, I see. Yang Tong suddenly realized that he really didn't pay attention to the news in this regard, and he usually felt that there was too little time to retreat and comprehend alchemy and alchemy.
Subsequently, everyone's novelty passed, and they all found a place to meditate and pranayama, although everyone has a good relationship now, but after entering the Phantom Demon Mountain, it is not necessarily.
There is only one Void Pure Lotus, only nine lotus seeds, and thirty-six lotus petals, and thousands of monks compete for them, which is no joke. Everyone is still friends now, and they are competitors when facing the Void Pure Lotus, and no one wants to give up the good opportunity to break through the Void Level. This kind of opportunity, once you miss it, maybe there is no hope of advancing to the Void level in this life.
Yang Tong's minimum goal is two lotus seeds and two lotus petals, and the lotus seeds alone account for two-ninths of them at once.
Half a month later, I finally arrived at my destination.
A rainbow array surrounded the three giant peaks, making the place that was originally shrouded in clouds and mist even more dreamy. And these three giant peaks are exactly the entrance to the cave of Qilian Mountain.
The Cave Heaven Blessed Land is different from the secret space, which is transformed from the Sumeru space, which is essentially a reading space, but there is an entrance and exit connected to the main space.
The Cave Heaven Blessed Land is a hidden space attached to the main space, and some of them are themselves in the main space, but for various mysterious reasons, this area is more precious than other places.
The secret realm collapsed, and the impact on the main space was almost negligible, but if the cave heaven blessed land was destroyed, the impact on the surrounding main space would be quite far-reaching, and even lead to a catastrophe of spiritual energy desolation.
At this moment, at the entrance of the cave sky, there are many monks waiting, this time the number of people who want to enter the cave is limited, there are only 1,200 people, most of them are monks in the late stage of the sky, of course, there are also some monks in the middle of the sky. There was not a single monk of the early days of the sky, and it was a pity that they were ruthlessly eliminated. Who told them that their cultivation was not enough, this time the great opportunity was only missed.
The monks from all sides gathered in groups of three or five, quietly waiting in their respective places, but no one grabbed their places, and no one clashed with others at this time.
Three days later, the two monks descended from the sky, and their great power disappeared in a flash.
However, everyone present cleverly stopped what they were doing and looked up. The two monks, one old and one young, the younger one was dressed in martial robes, and there was a sense of righteousness in his eyebrows, and his expressions were very serious. The old man was dressed in a wide robe at home, with long black and white hair in a Taoist bun, with a smile on his face, looking very kind.
It was Yongle and Old Man Qilian, these two appeared at the same time, which meant that the cave was about to open.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I pray that the predecessors will open the cave and let the destined people go into the mountains to hunt for treasures, this is a trial, and it is also a test. Those who enter the mountain, life and death are conceited, I know that you are all elites who choose one out of ten thousand, but there is only one life, and most of you are very young, whether it is worth fighting for a small life now, you need to think carefully. You can choose to quit now, otherwise it will be too late to regret it after entering the cave. Yongle warned very seriously.
"Yongle Xiaoyou, don't scare the children, in fact, there is nothing dangerous in the Illusory Demon Mountain, but once the undetermined person enters the mountain, he will inevitably be trapped by the demon barrier and go crazy. People with demonic obstacles also need to carefully consider whether or not to enter the mountain! After all, there is only one Void Pure Lotus, and the competition is too fierce. The old man Qilian added with a faint smile.
As soon as Yang Tong heard this, he felt that although it sounded comfortable, it must have shrunk a lot of danger.
Yongle didn't speak, waited quietly, and half an hour passed.
"Since no one has withdrawn, then you can do it yourself. When Yongle said this, he turned his head to the old man Qilian and said, "Fellow Daoist, please open the formation and open the cave sky." "He's just doing his best, no one can quit, after all, the road of the strong, there is no room for retreat, there is no indomitable momentum, how can he become a strong?
As for how many people can come out alive this time in the mountains to hunt for treasures, that is not his concern, in his opinion, a thousand sky-level monks are not as good as a void-level monk. What's more, the monk who came out of the treasure from it this time may have a high surname if he advanced to the Void level.
To advance to the Void level, a sky-level monk not only needs a strong will, an indomitable momentum, and a profound accumulation, but also needs to be able to ensure that he can survive the demonic obstacles in his heart.
The old man Qilian took out a command flag and shook it gently, and the rainbow in the sky began to dissipate, quickly emptying, revealing a mountain road.
"Holding the token representing the qualification to enter the mountain, you can go up from this mountain road, and the old man is waiting for you at the end of the mountain road. However, without a token, stepping on this mountain road is a dead end. The old man said with a smile.
The hearts of the sky-level monks were naturally bright, this was the dojo of the demigods, even if the big array was opened, this mountain was also full of dangers, and it was not a place where they could break into it lightly.
Of course, a strong person like Lord Yongle can easily go up the mountain without a token, but for him, the Void Pure Lotus is even more chicken than chicken ribs, and there is no need to snatch it at all. Other Sacred Realm or Demigod Masters couldn't afford to offend the old man Qilian for the sake of the Void Pure Lotus.
Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin's bone age was not more than two hundred, and they easily obtained the qualification token from the municipal axe.
"Senior Brother Ren, fellow Daoists, let's take a step forward and leave. After Yang Tong finished speaking, he took out the token and went up the mountain with Lin Yueyin.
As soon as you set foot on the mountain path, the token emits a faint light mask. Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin followed the middle of the large army and walked forward on the mountain road.
At the end of the mountain road was a dark cave, and the old man Qilian and Yongle were already standing next to the cave.
"Entering from here is the Qilian Cave Heaven, but the exit of the cave is connected to three places, one is the place where the old man cultivates, one is the place where the old man practices swords, and the other is the Illusory Demon Mountain. Come with the old man. After saying that, the old man turned around and entered the cave.
The group followed him into the cave, and it was pitch black in the cave, but the darkness in the cave could not stop the Sky Monk's gaze.
Soon came to the fork of the three intersections, the old man Qilian stopped, pointed to the leftmost intersection and said, "Go, there is the Phantom Demon Mountain." The Illusory Demon Mountain is divided into three areas, and there are many brute beasts raised by old men in the peripheral areas, which can be used for training, and some of these brute beasts also have considerable strength, so you need to be cautious. In the inner area, the phantom sound is continuous, and there are many cave specialties, which can be found by those who are interested. The core area is just the Spirit Transformation Pool, and the Void Pure Lotus is in it. Twelve days later, it is the time when the pure lotus matures and is born, and once the lotus is born, the stem and flower will be cut off. The rhizomes are not allowed to be touched, and the lotus flower will turn into a pillar of incense after birth, the lotus seeds will be retained, and the lotus petals will shoot out in all directions. Therefore, children who can't get close to the lotus pond also have a chance to find lotus petals. Maybe one of you will be lucky enough to pick up a lotus petal on the periphery. ”
"Sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength, friends, do it yourself. After speaking, the old man stood aside.
"Thank you for your advice. The monks thanked each other in unison, and then walked to the intersection on the left.
(To be continued)
