182 Penance Cave
Two years passed in a flash, without others and trivial things to disturb, Luo Qingli studied spells and miscellaneous science on the one hand, and practiced steadily and steadily, and teased Xiao Wu when he was idle, and his life was very peaceful and comfortable.
During this time, her alchemy has greatly improved, and she will save a lot of pills every other month, except for the spirit beast pills for Xiao Wu, Luo Qingli has all taken them to the medicine hall to sell, and every time she can harvest a lot of spirit stones.
Ning Yuanjue's cultivation has preliminarily entered the second layer, which is enough to reduce the suppression of her spiritual power by high-level cultivators, and she has also touched a little trick in the second "shadowless" of the Lost Trace Step, and when she has mastered it all, she can come and go without a trace, so that people can't catch her figure.
In terms of ice explosion techniques, Luo Qingli has also made great progress, including the fourth type of "Sky Breaking Ice Slash" of the Guanghan Sword Spectrum has now begun to take shape, her strength is steadily improving, and only the alchemy technique has fallen into a stalemate.
Almost all of the walking corpses in the undersea trial camp I have been to are physical cultivation, and in the storage bags of these physical cultivation, Luo Qingli has also found several volumes of body refining techniques, but there are very few body refining techniques suitable for women to practice, and even if there are, they are not as good as the jade bone ice muscle technique she practiced, and basically there is not much reference value.
This body refining technique is not an overnight thing, Luo Qingli is not in a hurry, as usual, he soaks the beast blood every seven days and takes the body quenching pill.
It's just that when she went to the Zhangshi Hall to collect the beast blood two days ago, Tang Laosan told her that she couldn't receive the beast blood.
"Uncle Luo, the high-level beast blood you want is getting higher and higher-level, the beast blood collected by this master's hall is all obtained by the disciples in the sect doing tasks, in the past, the third- and fourth-order demon beasts were easy to hunt, these fifth-order and sixth-order demon beasts, which can be killed by ordinary foundation building disciples? It's too late to run directly when you encounter it......
Tang Laosan was very helpless, he couldn't figure out what this Uncle Luo was doing to buy so much beast blood, and he also specified that he wanted the demon beast blood of the fire and gold systems.
Even if it's a talisman, it won't be so much! You must know that the blood of this demon beast is just like that, and almost all the beast blood collected by the head of the hall in the past two years has been sold to her.
Luo Qingli asked, "Senior nephew Tang, what if I pay double the price?"
"The price is the same for several times, and now it's not a matter of spirit stones, it's that there is no supply at all. Tang Laosan shook his head, "Uncle Luo, I'm here to keep an eye on you, and try to contact the branch of the Jade Toad Sect outside, if you receive the blood of high-level demon beasts, I will give you priority to keep it, but you also have to be mentally prepared, after all, the amount you want is too big." ”
Luo Qing nodded abruptly, "Thank you, Senior Nephew Tang." ”
She had no choice but to go back to Blowing Snow Valley.
The bone refining stage of the Jade Bone Ice Muscle Technique is that it needs to use gold or fire-based beast blood to refine the body, and she has almost reached the end of her practice at this stage, but now that there is no high-level beast blood source, this alchemy can only be stalemate here.
Xiao Wu noticed that the master was back, poked his head out of the cold pool, looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of mist, and the mist refracted a colorful halo in the sun, which was very beautiful.
Luo Qingli scratched its chin amusefully, and Xiao Wu rolled on the spot.
"Has the master received the blood of the beast?"
Luo Qingli shook his head, Xiao Wu's eyes widened, "Then what should I do?"
"Master summoned me some time ago that she was going to go on a retreat recently, and it was inconvenient for me to disturb her. Luo Qingli smiled slightly: "It's okay, this matter is not in a hurry, everything is as fate as it is, it's a big deal, I'll go to other towns to look for it after I go down the mountain, and I will collect as much as I want." ”
Xiao Wu nodded his head as if he didn't understand, and asked again, "Does the master have any plans?"
Luo Qingli thought for a while, "There is still a year to hold the Danshi Assessment Competition in the Central Plains, and in the past two years, I feel that I have almost accumulated it, so I will go to the penance cave to practice my skills first, and then I will prepare to go down the mountain." ”
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly.
In the past two years, it has been in the cold pool of the Blowing Snow Valley, the cultivation environment is superior, and there is no shortage of pills, occasionally burying itself at the bottom of the cold pool, sleeping for a month or two, and when I feel particularly bored, I will swim out along the cold pool to find its beautiful sister No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 to play, and the small life is quite nourishing.
This is the third year that Xiao Wu has left the sea, and he chose to be Luo Qingli's spirit beast, part of the reason is that he wants to go out to see the outside world, and now Luo Qingli is ready to go down the mountain, Xiao Wu is very happy.
Luo Qingli touched its head and said, "I'm going to the penance cave for a while, it's inconvenient to take you with me, if you feel bored, I'll take you to Senior Sister Liu?"
Xiao Wu was entangled for a moment and shook his head, "I'll wait here for the master to come back." ”
Luo Qingli left a lot of pills for Xiao Wu, cleaned up and entered the penance cave.
The penance cave is like the trial tower of the Medicine King City, in fact, it is the place of trial for the disciples of the Jade Toad Sect, which is divided into two modes: the qi refining period and the foundation building period, as long as a certain number of spirit stones are delivered, you can get a token to enter it, this token actually plays a protective role, when the disciple who enters the cave is fatally injured, the token will spontaneously shatter and teleport the disciple out.
Luo Qingli's choice is naturally the foundation building period mode.
In front of the entrance of the penance cave is erected a stone tablet, this stone tablet is engraved with a list of 100 people, it is the highest record left by the top 100 people in the penance cave, this list is changing anytime and anywhere, some people rush up, some people are squeezed down, it is also an honor to be able to leave a place on the stone tablet.
There is even a saying among the disciples of the Jade Toad Sect that the top seven in the penance cave are very likely to be the seven sons of the Jade Toad in the future, which is a law drawn over the years, and the difference is not very large, and everyone generally agrees.
The first place in the current list of 100 people is Zhao Xuanting, this person is the second disciple of Ling Yunfeng Peng Yue Zhenjun, Luo Qingli is not very familiar with him, but he has taken classes together in the senior class of the Array Hall before, and he is still the referee when he and Ren Xingcheng are playing the martial arts hall.
Zhao Xuanting is already in the late stage of foundation building, he is a pure sword cultivator, I heard that the attack power of his sword is very strong, Luo Qingli has never fought with him, but he can maintain the first place on the list of 100 people in the penance cultivation cave, and his strength will definitely not be bad.
It is worth mentioning that Xue Ce and Ren Xingcheng are also on this list, both of them are ranked in the top ten, and looking at the trend, this ranking is still climbing upward.
Luo Qingli also found Qin Ziyan in the first part of the list of 100 people, she is now ranked twenty-third, and her ranking also continues to rise.
The difficulty of this penance cave for the monks in the foundation building period is adjusted according to their cultivation level, which means that whether it is in the early, middle or late stage of foundation building, the difficulty of entering it is in line with the current cultivation realm, and there is no such thing that it is easier to break through in the late stage of foundation building than in the early stage of foundation building, so it is very likely that there will be such an event in the list of 100 people as the ranking of a monk in the early stage of foundation building.
Since Qin Ziyan came back from Quartz City, she has come to the penance cave from time to time to practice and hone herself, and there are seven or eight hundred foundation building monks in the entire Jade Toad Sect, and she can stand out among them, which shows that her personal strength is not bad.
In addition, she also saw the names of many acquaintances, Jiangling Liu Daise and Yi Weiwei were all on the list, including Rong Fang and Yang Paner, who were also disciples of Ethereal Peak.
Luo Qingli glanced at it, walked to the entrance registration office, took out the identity jade plate and handed it to the foundation building disciple on duty.
The disciple took the jade plaque as usual, and after seeing the name on the jade plaque, his eyes lit up slightly, and he greeted her with a smile, "Uncle Luo, this is the first time you have come to the penance cave, right?"
Luo Qingli handed over the spirit stone and nodded with a smile, "Yes, come and practice your hands." ”
"Let's just say, if Uncle Luo has come to the penance cave, it doesn't make sense that there is no place for you on this stone tablet. The disciple on duty said with a smile.
At that time, Luo Qingli was one against five in the Yanwu Hall, and it had already spread throughout the sect, and this foundation building disciple on duty was one of her supporters, and she believed in Luo Qingli's strength very much, and she was sure that if she came to break through the penance and cultivation cave, she would definitely not be outside the hundred.
The disciple on duty quickly registered the information, handed her the token, gave her a special storage bag, and explained the precautions: "Uncle Luo, in the penance cave, all magic weapons are limited by the formation and cannot be effective, and ordinary storage equipment cannot be opened, you can only choose an attack magic weapon, a flying magic weapon and five bottles of pills to put in this storage bag, this is the only thing you can use." ”
Luo Qing was stunned, took out the Frost Sword and a flying sword and put them in a special storage bag, prepared a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill and four bottles of Rejuvenation Pill and put them in it, and hung them on his waist.
The disciple on duty gestured and said, "Uncle Luo, I'm waiting to see you on the stone tablet!"
Luo Qingli shook his head and smiled, thanked him, took the jade plate and entered the penance cave.
When the disciple on duty saw someone entering, he hurriedly sent a message to his friend, "Uncle Luo from Ethereal Peak has come to the penance cave, guess how many places she can rank!"
The friend immediately replied to him: "Then it goes without saying, it must be the top ten, bet ten spirit stones!"
The disciple on duty rolled his eyes, and secretly said that this person was really a door-picker, but he also felt that Uncle Luo should not have run in the top ten this time, and then he would pay attention to the dynamics on the stele from time to time.
After Luo Qingli entered the entrance of the penance cave, he was teleported to a patio, this patio was empty, only the four walls were carved with many large and small reliefs, among these reliefs were people and beasts, one by one with teeth and claws, lifelike.
Before she came, she also knew about the level of the penance cave, in fact, the setting of this kind of trial place is basically the same, but depending on which point to focus on, the trial place of the Jade Toad Sect pays more attention to all-round development, and it is divided into six levels in total, which test the attack, defense, agility, magic, divine sense and synthesis of the disciples under the sect, and except for the last level of integration, the rest of the test order is random.
Seeing the reliefs on the walls around this patio, Luo Qingli thought of the room full of murals of strange beasts that he had experienced when he broke into the trial tower of the Medicine King City, and believed that it would not take long for these reliefs to "come to life".
Sure enough, the next moment, a tall stone man relief on the west wall walked down from the wall, this stone man held a stone axe in his hand, and every step on the ground made a heavy sound, and rushed towards her.
Luo Qingli took out the Frost Sword from the special storage bag and rushed towards the stone man.
The sword qi on the long sword surrounded, and when it collided with the stone axe, there was a sonorous impact sound, and the stone man's footsteps paused slightly, as if he was hindered by the impact force, and at the same time, a small gap was made on the axe.
Luo Qing centrifuged to a certain extent, swung his sword and slashed horizontally, the dignified sword qi was piled up in one place, the frost sword emitted a bright white light, sharp and incomparable, sharpening iron like mud, and the stone man was cut in two by her waist, turning into a pile of gravel and falling to the ground.
This level is a test of attack, as long as these reliefs are defeated, this level is considered to be passed.
After the stone man fell, two more stone eagles on the wall "woke up", these two stone eagles were huge, fluttering their wings and flying in the air, chirping in their mouths, and the eagle's claws were like steel knives, grabbing her fiercely.
Luo Qing moved sideways to avoid his footsteps, and two more swords slashed Shi Ying under the sword.
There are more and more reliefs coming out of the wall, and they are getting stronger and stronger, Luo Qingli began to face three, four, or even five opponents at a time, she wandered among the reliefs, the tip of the sword flashed silver, cutting through the cold and graceful arc, every time the sword was swung, there would be a relief that turned into gravel and rolled down.
The spiritual power in the body was drained little by little, but after a while, nearly half of it was used, Luo Qingli was forced to the corner, saw the last two stone figures on the stone wall walking down, and then looked at the rest of the reliefs in front of him, there were more than a dozen.
She paused, no longer dodging, raised her sword and swung it, and the cold night ice rain unleashed its unleashed rain, and countless ice cubes fell one after another, and these ice cubes crackled on the relief, and their bodies were soon full of holes, and their actions were stopped.
The nearest stone leopard has been smashed out of the cracks by the ice cube, she raised her leg and kicked, the stone leopard was kicked apart, Luo Qingli quickly shuttled in the ice rain, left and right, and after a while, the relief was all scattered.
Gravel was piled up all over the ground, Luo Qingli stopped and took a breath lightly, but saw that the scattered stones on the ground seemed to have been suddenly moved by something.
She was slightly stunned, and then saw countless stones gathered in one place, turning into a stone man again, this stone body was huge, standing up to the sky, holding a giant sword in his hand, Luo Qingli was standing at its feet at this moment, only the size of its toes.
Luo Qing was stunned and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Originally, she also said that the difficulty of this penance cave did not seem to be as high as she thought, but when she saw this stone, she realized that everything had just begun.
Luo Qing settled down, stepped on the flying sword and flew up, and attacked the giant stone man by himself.
