Chapter 116: Unexpected Discovery and Greedy Battle
To complete the task of the sect to find the molten stone, Yang Xian casually chose a direction, and walked with the sword, and half an hour later, a group of black birds appeared in the distant sky.
Yang Xian hurriedly stopped the footsteps of the sword's flight, took out the hidden spirit cloak and draped it on his body, and landed on a small mountain peak waiting for the birds to leave.
Yang Xian stared closely at the black birds in the sky, this is a group of birds similar to the crows in the mouth of mortals, Yang Xian looked at the black bird in the lead with a golden feather in the middle of its head, and knew that this bird was the leader of the entire black bird.
The leader of the birds has a first-order Great Perfection cultivation, and the momentum is compelling, Yang Xian hurriedly looked away, because the sense of the spirit beast is very keen, and if he stares at it for a long time, he may be found and discovered, if he is beaten by a group of birds, it is still very difficult to survive.
This group of black birds flew above Yang Xian's head, and the speed was extremely fast, it looked like they were running away, but fortunately, the direction of escape was not the direction of the place where the water and fire aura gathered, otherwise the other sixteen fellow sects would be in danger.
Even though the birds had flown away, Yang Xian was still motionless at this time, because Yang Xian saw two rays of light coming closely, it was two Zhuji monks, walking with swords, and the Zhuji monk wearing dark blue clothes said: "Brother Hua, see which of us takes down which beast first, it is whose spirit beast." ”
"Brother Meng's words are very much in line with me." Monk Tsukiki, dressed in dark teal, replied.
Two rays of light accelerated above Yang Xian's head, reaching a speed of 1,500 miles per hour. Yang Xian looked at the two foundation building monks in the sky pondering.
These two foundation-building monks did not hide their true faces, Yang Xian could see the identity of these two foundation-building monks at a glance with his powerful eyesight, the dark blue costume was Meng Haohua, the leading disciple of the Meng family of the third-grade sect in the Five Elements Secret Realm, and the foundation-building monk in the dark blue costume was Hua Yilong, the leading disciple of the Fourth-grade Sect Royal Beast Gate in the Five Elements Secret Realm.
It's just that the two of them are no longer Qi refining tenth-layer Great Perfection monks, but early stage foundation building monks, specifically the early stage of foundation building, how many times the true yuan turned around, Yang Xian still can't see through it.
Yang Xian looked at the behavior of the two of them walking together and fell into deep thought, the connection between the Meng family and the Royal Beast Gate was so close, and combined with the situation in the secret realm, Yang Xian felt that he had discovered an important news, and under the flying thoughts, the ten-year period mentioned by the master Shen Liyun had been released, and it was estimated that something big was about to happen.
Yang Xian waited for Meng Haohua and Hua Yilong's escape to completely disappear from the field of vision, before starting again, this time Yang Xian was not flying with the sword, but relying on his body to shuttle through the lava mountains, although the speed was not very fast, but it was safe and secure, and he could also find molten stones.
It is not easy to obtain molten stone, Yang Xian has been looking for more than half a month, and he has searched hundreds of large and small volcanoes but has not found the shadow of molten stone, it seems that this sect's task is indeed not simple.
I don't know if the molten stone can be found in the inner area of the lava mountain range, this thought flashed by, Yang Xian didn't dare to continue to go deeper into the lava mountain range, after all, he was basically just a small Qi refining stage cultivator, just go around the central region, and he had to be careful.
Since molten stone can't be found near the crater, you can only go deep into the crater and find it from the location close to the magma and fire.
It would be much more dangerous to just go deep into the crater and get close to the inside of the magma earthfire, because without the True Yuan Protector, it would be difficult to isolate the damage of the magma earthfire to the physical body, but if you have a body refining cultivation as a support, you shouldn't be affected too much.
Yang Xian, who thought of it, carefully searched for the possibility of molten gold in each crater, and at the same time paid attention to the "Yanlong Descending" that might appear in the lava mountain range or had already experienced the situation after the Yanlong descended, so that he could use the crater after the Yanlong descended to enter the magma.
If you rely on manpower to chisel through the ground to reach the magma fire layer, this kind of thankless task is difficult for other monks to achieve except for senior monks in the late stage of foundation building and above.
Often a sect family will do such a thankless thing in order to ensure the needs of alchemy refiners, which is the foundation of a sect family, and this is the conditions and heritage that a second-grade sect family should have.
The Lava Mountain Range is located south of the Spirit Sword Sect and the Yin Soul Mountain Range, and many monks are used to calling the vast southern area south of the Lava Mountain Range and south of the Spirit Sword Sect the Southern Region, among which the Meng family of the Sanpin family is in the Southern Regions, and it is the leading force in the Southern Regions.
The resources of cultivating immortals in the Southern Regions are extremely rich, and the Lava Mountain Range is a treasure place where the resources gather, and many monks from scattered cultivators and small sect families often go to the Lava Mountain Range to find chance treasures.
The phenomenon of "volcanic eruption" in the lava mountain range is often affectionately called by the monks of the Southern Regions: "Yanlong descends", every time you encounter "Yanlong descends", it means that it is possible to harvest extraordinary treasures, because "Yanlong descends" often erupts precious treasures from the depths of the underground magma, and even some genius treasures are not uncommon.
Yang Xian is now located in the central region of the Lava Mountains, which is a relatively rich and dangerous area for late-stage Qi refining and early foundation building cultivators, and if you want to obtain more cherished resources, you need to go deeper into the lava mountains.
The lava mountains cover a huge area, I don't know how many thousands of miles, stretching from north to south, and it is said that they can extend to the southern seas in the south, but no monk has ever crossed the lava mountains to reach the southern seas.
Time passed like flowing water minute by minute, Yang Xian searched again for half a month, and only got some first-order ore, but the molten gold stone was not seen, and Yang Xian could only continue to use the spirit of perseverance to search.
Thanks to the power of his divine sense, he was highly efficient when searching in each crater area, and Yang Xian had harvested several additional fire-attribute spirit herbs for more than a hundred years with the help of red jade, such as fire spirit ginseng, fire spirit grass, etc., these additional gains were better than nothing.
Yang Xian gave full play to the advantages of the Hidden Spirit Clothes, and except for the necessary battles, he finished things unconsciously at other times.
Now Yang Xian's vision is extremely high, unless it is a first-order late-stage spirit beast that is barely worth taking action by himself, otherwise, under normal circumstances, Yang Xian does not bother to do it, and slaughtering the weak is not the work of the strong.
When encountering a team of monks, Yang Xian will not deliberately go to the enemy and wantonly kill these monks who enter the lava mountain range to hunt for treasures, if he relies on his own strong strength to wantonly kill monks, then it is no different from evil cultivation, and the road to cultivating immortals will not last long.
Having said that, it is worth mentioning that Yang Xian, who had been searching for more than half a month again, unexpectedly inadvertently arrived at the place where the middle of the Lava Mountain Range bordered the outer area.
There were really a lot of monks searching for treasures in the outer areas, and Yang Xian encountered many teams that formed teams to hunt for treasures, most of them were mainly early and middle stage Qi refining cultivators, and even several times more than the Spirit Beast Forest in the northern part of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Yang Xian was also unfamiliar with the geographical location of the Lava Mountains during the search process, and seeing such a scene shocked Yang Xian, he had long heard that the Southern Regions was the self-reserved place of scattered cultivators and small families and sects, and he didn't know that the cultivation environment here was even better than the legend if he hadn't seen it in person.
Yang Xian learned from some of Li Qinglian's memories that the area where Li Qinglian lived before was the Southern Regions, but the specific details were not clear, and the Southern Regions were really a good place.
However, Yang Xian, who had not yet completed the task of the sect, did not have the intention to have an in-depth understanding of the situation on the periphery of the lava mountain range, but chose the direction to continue to look for molten stones in the central area.
Although molten gold stone is rare, it is not a scarce thing, as long as you have patience, you can still find it, this sect mission is an experience of the lava mountain range, the main purpose is to break through the cultivation, I didn't expect to complete it in advance, even if the sect task is not completed, at most double the contribution points will be deducted, which is not very important to yourself.
As soon as the mentality is correct, then luck seems to follow, Yang Xian found a crater, the time of "Yanlong Descending" has passed, but the inside of the crater has not been closed, it is still in an open state, which makes Yang Xian, who has been looking for the traces of magma and earth fire for a long time, overjoyed.
Although the best harvest time for this crater has passed, it is not too late for Yang Xian, and the purpose is to reach the magma earth fire to search for treasures, Yang Xian looked at the monks who had gone deep into the magma, and there were four monks who could not see their cultivation with the spiritual eye technique.
Then these four monks should be monks above the foundation, and the Qi Refining Period cultivators now make themselves unable to see that their cultivation is basically gone, because of the transformation of their divine thoughts into their divine consciousness, the Qi Refining Period monks can't hide their cultivation in front of themselves.
Four foundation building stage cultivators, the risk is too great, Yang Xian plans to wait, after all, there are still many late stage Qi refining monks waiting around, about 9 people, Yang Xian joined the waiting team.
This is the law of the jungle in the world of cultivating immortals, high-level immortal cultivators are like privileged people, when all the meat has been eaten and the benefits have been exhausted, it is the turn of low-level cultivators, because high-level cultivators have much more resources than low-level immortal cultivators.
In the world of cultivating immortals, mortals want to cultivate immortals, low-level qi refining monks want to become foundation building monks to dominate one side, foundation building monks want to become Jindan monks and claim ancestors, and Jindan monks want to become high-level monks to achieve immortality....... Desires are endless.
Since it is a Qi Refining Cultivator, then it is best to do the duty of a Qi Refining Cultivator, and wait for the Foundation Cultivation Monk to complete the search before entering, otherwise it will be a tragedy if he enters rashly, in case he is cleared.
The waiting time was always long, and Yang Xian and nine other monks sat on the crater rocks and meditated, scattered in a patchwork manner.
In addition to Yang Xian, the other nine people are divided into four teams, one person is the same as Yang Xian and Yang Xian form a separate team, and the remaining eight people, two or two teams, rely on each other, after all, the strength of the team is much greater than the individual, even if it is a temporary team, it also has an advantage on the surface.
Two hours passed, and the ten people in the crater heard a rumbling sound from the bottom of the volcano, like thunder in the sky, and there was still a little magma coming out of the only huge crater.
This scene made the ten people waiting outside start to be vigilant, and the four foundation building seniors seemed to be not living in peace!
And the sound got closer and closer, and suddenly, from the mouth of the huge magma cave, four pupae wrapped in fiery red ants appeared, scattering in four directions, and at the same time, a steady stream of fiery red ants flew out of the crater of the magma field.
The ten people outside instantly recognized the identity of these ants: "Soul Devouring Fire Ants", this kind of spirit insect resides in places where fire aura is abundant, especially in magma and earth fire, feeding on fire aura or various ores and genius earth treasures containing fire aura, extremely powerful and vicious, and is known as a prestige in the Southern Regions.
The ten monks outside, including Yang Xian, were all ready to escape, and even the Zhuji monks were recruited, and these Qi refining monks could only feed the lives of the Spirit Fire Ants, and Yang Xian also pretended to escape by taking the road, while being distracted to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of.
After all, the harvest of the four foundation building monks in the magma earth fire was very rich, and Yang Xian couldn't get in by himself, and now that he had encountered such a good opportunity, he couldn't miss it.
Looking at the four foundation-building monks who were wrapped in fiery red ants, Yang Xian guessed that it should be the aura of the True Yuan shield that attracted the Spirit Devouring Fire Ants, after all, the True Yuan was a condensed and advanced version of the Aura, especially attracting the Spirit Devouring Fire Ants.
At this time, the four foundation-building monks could only rely on the true yuan to resist the spirit devouring fire ants, and continuously supported the true yuan shield with the true yuan, which means that the four foundation-building monks at this time were the weakest, except for the true yuan shield, they couldn't do anything else, Yang Xian felt that the opportunity had come.
This is really an opportunity to get rich overnight, as long as you kill a foundation building monk, then you can get all his net worth, Yang Xian thought of this, the greedy beast in his heart woke up, the net worth of the foundation building monk, this is really exciting!
The ants that followed Yang Xian also planned to climb on Yang Xian, but Yang Xian did not sacrifice the aura shield to put himself in danger, but escaped with the sword shadow technique, and chased in the direction of a foundation building monk to escape, which was a good opportunity to kill people and seize treasures.
There are not a few smart and bold monks, Yang Xian left with a foundation building monk, a one-person team of monks at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi refining also left with a foundation building monk, and two teams of four people also left with the other two foundation building monks, it seems that a tacit understanding has been formed.
There are also six people and three teams who did not risk their lives, but Edgeworth left, leaving this is a non-vortex.
Whether you choose to take a risk or protect yourself, it is the path that the monk chooses for himself, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
