Chapter 419: Lurking
When Qiao Yuan heard the words of these two people, he couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time, his expression became strange, a little happy and a little worried.
The Qingxing Xuanyue Flower is an extremely rare heavenly and earthly treasure, but it is not used to refine pills, but to assist in cultivation.
Qiao Yuan's cultivation of the Qingyue Heart Sutra required the cultivation of the moon and the absorption of the power of the moonlight, which limited his cultivation conditions, allowing him to only cultivate at night, and at night when the bright moon was empty.
And there are always a few days every month when there is no moon in the night, if it is the rainy season, and you can't even see the bright moon for a month or two, then during this time, Qiao Yuan can hardly cultivate the Qingyue Heart Sutra.
It is because of the restriction of this condition that Qiao Yuan is now only cultivating the Qingyue Heart Sutra to a small level, and if he wants to cultivate to a large level, it is far from perfect.
Fortunately, this restriction is not absolute, and the Qingyue Heart Sutra records that there are several kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures in this heaven and earth that absorb the power of moonlight as nutrients.
If you can get one of them, you can absorb the power of the moonlight in the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure for cultivation, and this Qingxing Xuanyue Flower is one of those several Heavenly Material and Earth Treasures.
If he could get that Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, Qiao Yuan's cultivation speed of the Qingyue Heart Sutra would definitely increase several times, which could be said to have lifted a knot in his heart for many years, so how could Qiao Yuan not be excited and happy.
Just now, the glamorous young woman also said that the demon beast was coming, and Qiao Yuan also knew a little about it.
The Qingxing Xuanyue Flower is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth, once it matures, there will inevitably be a vision of heaven and earth, and once the vision comes out, I am afraid that it will attract many demon beasts who cultivate with the help of the power of the stars and the moon.
Most of the demon beasts absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, compared to the monks, they advocate nature more, so there are very many demon beasts that cultivate with the help of the power of the stars and the moon, not to mention that the moon wolf clan to which Bai Yue belongs is the demon beast that cultivates with the help of the power of the moonlight.
The temptation of this Qingxing Xuanyue Flower to those demon beasts is like the temptation of Qiao Yuan, there is no need to think about it, when the time comes, this Meixi City will definitely be surrounded by demon beasts.
However, this matter is not a good thing for Qiao Yuan, if he is the only one, he wants to take this Qingxing Xuanyue Flower from under the noses of these nine Jindan stage monks, it is simply a fool's dream.
But if there are those demon beasts to stir up, these Jindan period monks will definitely resist those demon beasts with all their might, and when the time comes, he will hide in the shadows, and it is still very likely that he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"The white hall master in their mouth should be Bai Yunfei, and the other hall master should be the leader of this rudder, I'm afraid that the cultivation will not be lower than Bai Yunfei, with these two people, things are a little difficult to handle." ”
Qiao Yuan secretly said in his heart, this is where he worries.
Once Bai Yunfei and the other hall master returned, if they worked together to lay out the formation, plus these nine Jindan stage cultivators, it would be difficult to make any big waves unless a fourth-order demon beast arrived.
In this way, it is unrealistic for Qiao Yuan to want to reap the benefits.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term. ”
Qiao Yuan sighed lightly, and said secretly in his heart, and then he turned his gaze to the nine people, only to see that they were already sitting cross-legged in front of an altar, and their hands were punching out the seal, as if they were activating the formation here.
Qiao Yuan fixed his eyes on a Jindan monk who was five zhang away directly from him.
It was a woman in a moon-white gauze dress, who looked to be in her twenties, her skin was fair as transparent, and her hair was pulled into a half-moon bun, looking holy and radiant.
She looks absolutely beautiful, as if a tuberose blooms quietly on a midsummer night, the charm is like the moon, quiet and beautiful, if you use an idiom to describe her beauty, then only the flower and the moon can be interpreted.
"Jindan mid-term monk. ”
Qiao Yuan was shocked, his face showed a solemn expression, he didn't expect that this woman, who didn't look very old, exuded a powerful coercion in the middle of the golden pill.
As for the other eight people, their cultivation ranged from the early stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan, among them, the white-haired old man had the highest cultivation and the strongest coercion, and he was already close to the Great Perfection of Jindan.
"Brother Qiao, what should we do?"
Zhan Yao blinked her big eyes, reached out and grabbed Qiao Yuan's arm, and asked in a voice.
"How do I think you're not in a hurry at all?"
Qiao Yuan turned his head to look at it, only to see that although Zhan Yao's words were a little anxious, his face was still relaxed, as if he didn't care about these people at all.
"With Brother Qiao here, what am I anxious about?"
Zhan Yao pouted and smiled softly.
"It's all this time, and it's not serious. ”
Qiao Yuan glanced at her, said helplessly, and after saying that, he thought about it and continued to speak.
"This robe can only be used for one hour, let's leave here first, otherwise once it is exposed, we will really become turtles in the urn. ”
At this moment, the formation on this altar has been fully activated under the control of the nine Jindan period monks.
The dark passage above the nine altars instantly erupted with a dazzling moon-white light, illuminating the altars bright and transparent.
At the same time, those rays of light slowly converged in one place, and finally landed on the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower in the center.
The Qingxing Xuanyue Flower shook, and the nine petals like a starry sky shone brightly, even more breathtaking than before.
Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao just glanced at it hurriedly and then withdrew their gazes, not daring to stare at it as carefully as before.
"Let's go!"
Qiao Yuan grabbed Zhan Yao's wrist, nodded to her, and with a sound, they flew upwards together.
The figures of the two were hidden, and their aura was covered by Taoist robes, and no one noticed the abnormality at this moment.
However, when the two of them flew to the entrance of the passage leading to the ground, they were immediately stunned, and Qiao Yuan stared upwards with a cloudy expression.
"Brother Qiao, what's wrong?"
Zhan Yao asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"The entrance to the passage is sealed. ”
Qiao Yuan said with an ugly expression.
"Huh......? What should I do?"
Zhan Yao Ying's mouth opened slightly, and she asked with a shocked face.
"Wait, I'll see what kind of formation this is first?"
Qiao Yuan forcibly calmed himself down and said calmly.
After speaking, he cautiously poked out a wisp of divine consciousness and carefully examined the formation at the entrance of the passage.
After a cup of tea, Qiao Yuan sighed lightly and said with a bitter face.
"This is a formation to prevent the power of the stars and the moon from flowing backwards, it is not difficult to break, but it is ......"
When Zhan Yao heard this, there was a hint of joy on his face, and when he was about to speak, he heard "but", and then looked at Qiao Yuan's bitter look, Zhan Yao had already guessed that it might not be so simple to leave.
"However, once the formation is broken and the power of the stars and moon flows backwards, those nine Jindan stage monks will definitely notice it immediately, and when the time comes, ......."
Qiao Yuan stopped when he said this, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Brother Qiao, it's better to fight, Xiao Yao gave them a big gift before leaving, I believe they don't dare to chase us. ”
Zhan Yao stretched out her jade finger and gently rubbed Xiao Qiong's nose, her face showed a thoughtful look, and suddenly a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, she looked up at Qiao Yuan, and said with a smile.
"What gift?"
Qiao Yuan's brows frowned slightly, he knew that this girl must have some ghost idea.
"Didn't Brother Qiao give Xiao Yao a lot of talismans, Xiao Yao threw all those talismans at the flower, Brother Qiao, do you say they are chasing us, or are they keeping that flower?"
Zhan Yao's eyebrows and eyes were bent into two crescents, and he said with a smile.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but after a while, the light disappeared, and then he shook his head with a serious face.
"No, although we can escape, we will definitely startle the snake, and I am afraid that the next time we want to come here, it will be absolutely impossible. ”
If it wasn't Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, Qiao Yuan would have escaped according to what Zhan Yao said, and he would have fled again, the big deal was that he would not come here again, or when he had cultivated enough in the future, he would come here again to explore.
But now he needs the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, and this flower is about to mature, if he misses it, Qiao Yuan doesn't know if he can meet another Qingxing Xuanyue Flower in his life.
"In this way, I will arrange a concealment prohibition to hide the space beads, and we will hide the space beads first. ”
Qiao Yuan thought about it for a long time, and could only sigh softly and say this idea.
You must know that the attraction of the space treasure is even greater than that of the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, and once the space bead is exposed, the situation of the two of them will be even more dangerous.
As a last resort, Qiao Yuan would never use the space bead in front of people, but this time there was really no other way, otherwise he would abandon the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower.
After thinking about it, Qiao Yuan decided to take a gamble, after all, he was still quite confident in his forbidden craft.
In this way, Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao fell on the altar again, and under the cover of the robe, Qiao Yuan arranged a hidden prohibition with great care.
This prohibition Qiao Yuan was confident that even if the old man in the late stage of Jindan swept it with his divine sense, he would not find the slightest abnormality.
Qiao Yuan took out the space bead and carefully put it in, and after checking it several times to make sure that there were no mistakes, Qiao Yuan thought about it and disappeared on the altar with Zhan Yao.
"Whew...... Or at home relaxed. ”
As soon as Zhan Yao returned to the space bead, she immediately lay on the soft grass without a lady's image, took a deep breath, and said playfully.
Qiao Yuan also showed a relaxed smile, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully poking out a wisp of divine sense, always paying attention to the situation in the outside world.
Three hours passed, and the nine pillars of light in the outside world gradually dimmed, and the nine Jindan monks who had been sitting cross-legged on the main altar also opened their eyes in unison.
The nine Jindan period monks did as they were routine, without the slightest word, and directly got up and flew towards the outside of the square, without probing the nine small altars with their divine senses at all.
Qiao Yuan saw the nine Jindan period monks flying to various places in the underground city, and the place became empty again, and it was extremely silent.
He didn't act rashly, but was still extremely careful to pay attention to the situation around him with his divine sense.
It didn't take long for the dungeon to become a little lively, and some black-robed monks came out of the attic courtyards and walked up and down the streets, and those shops also opened their doors to receive the black-robed monks who walked into the shops.
On the surface, this place is no different from monk towns such as Xiaohan City and Daihe City, except that the monks who live here are all shadow people.
Maybe it was because there was a clear star Xuanyue flower here, and none of those black-robed monks approached this square, even if they passed by, they didn't dare to look at it at all, but just hurriedly bypassed.
Because those black-robed monks were relatively tightly covered, and they didn't dare to approach this square, and Qiao Yuan didn't dare to probe too far, he couldn't tell if there was a black protector among those black-robed monks.
One day passed in a blink of an eye, and the dungeon was quite strange, the light changed with the outside world, and at night, the dungeon that was originally as bright as day gradually darkened.
And as it got dark, the black-robed monks returned to their attic courtyards, and there was no one left in the streets.
Originally, he could have taken this opportunity to leave, but after thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Yuan still decided to lurk here first.
First, he could keep track of the growth of the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower at all times, and second, he could eavesdrop on some news from the mouths of the nine Jindan stage cultivators.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan withdrew his consciousness, calmed down, closed his eyes and waited.
