Chapter Eighty-Three: The Valley Cave Mansion
At the foot of May Peak, there is a small valley, the mouth of the valley is not big, but ten zhang wide, and there are many trees and weeds around, as if no one has been here for many years.
Qiao Yuan recalled the map and walked around the neighborhood several times before he determined that this valley was where the cave was located.
He couldn't help but scold Ma Zhong in his heart, his face showed helplessness, he sighed lightly, and took out a woodcutter from the storage bag, which he brought out from his home in Qingfeng Village, and it came in handy today.
Bai Yue had been following Qiao Yuan's side, it already knew that this was their future home, and at this moment it showed excitement, scurrying among the weeds, and after a while, it entered the valley.
It took a stick of incense for Qiao Yuan to clean up the weeds and trees at the mouth of the valley, revealing a winding path.
As soon as Qiao Yuan walked into the valley, his face showed an ugly look, and he scolded Ma Zhong fiercely in his heart, then took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and carried a woodcutter to prepare to transform the valley drastically.
The innermost part of the valley is a steep mountain wall, with slopes on both sides, and there is a two-zhang cave mouth at the mountain wall, which is the cave house that Ma Zhong assigned to Qiao Yuan, but there is still a distance of five hundred zhang from this cave to the mouth of the valley, and these five hundred zhang are all overgrown with thorns and miscellaneous trees.
Qiao Yuan guessed that no one had lived in this cave for at least decades, and in such a cave, he also spent five thousand spirit stones, Qiao Yuan's heart was already full of remorse, what he regretted was not that he gave too few spirit stones, but that he should not give a single spirit stone, and it was better to find a place on the mountain casually.
"Sting...... Thorn ......"
The woodcutter waved on the thorns and miscellaneous trees and made a burst of sound, Qiao Yuan grew up in the mountains since he was a child, these jobs are not a problem for him, but he will inevitably be strained by some thorns, fortunately, he is used to it, and his heart has slowly calmed down.
Putting aside these thorns and miscellaneous trees, Qiao Yuan found that the pattern of this valley was still good, and there was a clear stream inside the valley, but it was impermeable to the slightest gap covered by thorns, if it weren't for the sound of the water, Qiao Yuan would still be difficult to find.
After waving the woodcutter for two hours in a row, Qiao Yuan cleared a path to the entrance of the cave, and instead of entering the cave immediately, he sat down cross-legged, ready to take a little rest before entering.
Qiao Yuan took out the token, and his divine sense probed into it, and in addition to a map, it also recorded the method of controlling the formation of the cave mansion.
The monks' caves all need to be guarded by formations, which is like the locks on the doors of mortal houses, one is to protect the caves, and the other is to prevent them from being disturbed during cultivation.
Qiao Yuan saw Bai Yue go in once before, and he was not stopped by the formation, he guessed that the formation of this cave house had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and most of it could not be used, now he really wanted to cry without tears, what kind of cave house is this, it is clearly a wild cave.
With a sigh, Qiao Yuan recalled Bai Yue and walked directly into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, Qiao Yuan took out a small fire talisman, and after the spiritual power was ignited, the paper talisman instantly burned, illuminating the entire cave.
The cave is not big, there is a hall in the middle, there are two cultivation rooms on the left, and a bedroom on the right.
However, to Qiao Yuan's surprise, there were still some things such as furniture in this cave, and there was no sign of decay on it except for some dust and cobwebs.
He took a chair out of the cave, and when he saw that it was no different from the mahogany chairs used by mortals, he shook his head and put the chair back.
"It's that I'm thinking too much, what good things can there be in this Broken Cave Mansion, even if there are good things, then Ma Zhong won't leave them to me. ”
Qiao Yuan returned to the cave mansion and came to a stone grinding disc in the practice room, he looked at the three concave hollow grooves on the stone grinding disc, his eyes showed a look of expectation, and then took out three lower grade spirit stones from the storage bag and placed them in the grooves.
As soon as the spirit stone was put in, the stone grinding disc trembled lightly and slowly rotated, but before it could finish a circle, the three spirit stones dimmed and turned into a pile of gray powder.
Qiao Yuan did not show a look of loss at this, but instead revealed a look of excitement and excitement, he knew that this cave formation was still useful, and the power of the formation was not weak, otherwise he would not have absorbed so much spiritual power.
He hurriedly took out three more medium-grade spirit stones and put them into the groove, this time the stone grinding disc was no longer trembling slightly, but making a buzzing sound, shaking violently.
Qiao Yuan's right hand condensed his spiritual power, and he waved it towards the stone grinding disc, and immediately a strong wind blew away, blowing away the sand and gravel dust in the cracks of the grinding disc.
The stone grinding disc shook for a while, and then slowly rotated, one circle, two circles, three circles, the speed of the stone grinding disc rotated faster and faster, and finally it was stable at a speed that was not fast or slow.
Qiao Yuan's face showed joy, and he walked directly to the outside of the cave.
Outside the cave, he could clearly feel that there was a formation fluctuation within a radius of fifty zhang from the entrance of the cave.
He took the token and walked out fifty zhang away, his face was eager to try, and then his right hand waved towards the formation, and a wind blade flew out of his hand, but as soon as the wind blade touched the formation, it turned into spiritual power and slowly dissipated in the air.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Yuan did not show surprise, and then he patted the storage bag and took out a spear, this gun is the spiritual weapon in the storage bag of Yang Yan's real person, the power is good, Qiao Yuan once used it to fight Tang Li, and he did not lose Tang Li's Qingling Sword at all.
He held the spear, and under the operation of spiritual power, he threw it directly towards the formation, the spear came out like a dragon, and the spear stabbed into the formation in an instant, but this formation was like a spring net, and the spear was immediately bounced back when it was pierced on it, and with a buzz, the spear was inserted straight into the ground in front of Qiao Yuan. Qiao Yuan's face was even more happy, he put away the spear, patted the storage bag and directly took out the most powerful weapon he had, the Fengyuan Sword, and the old man Zhan accepted the first treasure given to him by Qiao Yuan's ten top-grade spirit stones.
This sword can't be called a spiritual weapon, but a Danbao, as the name suggests, it is a magic weapon used by the monk Jiedan, and now it is a waste to let Qiao Yuan, who is refining qi and cultivating, use it, and he can't exert the full power of this sword.
However, the sword has its own power, even if the master's strength is weak, the power of this sword is not something that ordinary people can block, if Qiao Yuan injects all the spiritual power into the Fengyuan Sword, even a monk in the middle stage of foundation building will not dare to resist this sword head-on.
Qiao Yuan looked at the blue sword in his hand, and gently stroked the sword body with his right hand, and there was an excited light in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and mobilized his whole body's spiritual power to pour into the sword, and the sword instantly became three feet long, and the sword body flashed with a faint blue light, which looked like it had a sense of attraction.
Qiao Yuan didn't think much about it, forcibly endured the fatigue of the passage of spiritual power, and galloped towards the formation with the Fengyuan Sword in his hand.
"Bang!"
A sound sounded, not the sound of the sword stabbing formation, but the sound of Qiao Yuan holding the sword and being ejected by the formation, throwing it more than three feet away, and falling to the ground.
Qiao Yuan fell to the ground, not caring about the pain in his body, but showing ecstasy, his eyes flashing with excitement.
He had just stabbed the formation with the Wind Abyss Sword, and he estimated that even a monk in the middle stage of foundation building would not be able to stop it, but this formation only slightly dented an inch, and it bounced him back.
The power of this guardian formation surprised him a little, a blow that even a monk in the middle stage of foundation building could not stop, this formation was so easily blocked, Qiao Yuan estimated that even a monk with a perfect foundation would not be able to easily break this formation.
"I didn't expect this formation to be so powerful, could it be that the cave formation of the disciples of May Peak is so powerful? But this is not surprising, May Peak mainly studies the formation, if it is not even a basic cave formation, then it is a self-smashing signboard. ”
Qiao Yuan sat on the ground, the excitement on his face was still there, he looked at the formation and muttered to himself, and a look of longing for the future emerged in his heart.
Although his idea was correct, he ignored the most important point, that is, the stronger the formation, the more spiritual power it consumed, and the three medium-grade spirit stones could only maintain the formation for half a day.
Even if the Cave Mansion Formation of the disciples of May Peak was like this, there were not many people who could supply the spirit stone consumption for the formation to operate, after all, not everyone was as rich as Qiao Yuan.
If Qiao Yuan could study it in another practice room, he would be able to know what kind of formation his cave formation was.
And when the time comes, he will find that he will give full play to this cave formation, not to mention the foundation building monks, even the Jiedan monks will be difficult to forcibly attack, but these are all later words, so I won't mention them here for the time being.
Qiao Yuan tested the formation, and suddenly he was not so disappointed in this cave, at least the safety was guaranteed.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully exhaling the aura around him, once he exhaled, he found that the spiritual power here was quite rich, at least much richer than that on the Moon Mountain, which made him nod his head, the more he looked at this valley, the more pleasing it was to the eye.
An hour later, Qiao Yuan's spiritual power had recovered, and he still had a lot of things to do before dark, otherwise there would be no place to rest at night.
After Qiao Yuan's dissatisfaction disappeared, he seemed full of energy.
He took out the bucket from the storage bag, tore off a large piece of his worn-out clothes, ran to the stream and picked up two buckets of water, and went straight to the cave.
He was busy until dusk, and Qiao Yuan cleaned the cave mansion, and it was precisely because of the cleaning that he found some strange patterns on the walls of the cave mansion.
Qiao Yuan knew a little bit about the formation knowledge, and recognized that these patterns were all formation diagrams, he didn't feel strange, after all, this was the cave of the disciples of May Peak, and some formation diagrams were also normal, so he didn't observe them carefully, so he continued to clean up.
There are many aborigines in the valley, and after Bai Yue came here, he set off a sensation in the valley, chasing hares for a while, chasing deer for a while, and playing extremely excitedly.
If Bai Yue is calculated according to the age of a person, that is, a child of seven or eight years old, although it is a first-order high-level demon beast, but in the company of Qiao Yuan, it does not show a fierce wolf nature, but becomes more and more like a person.
Qiao Yuan watched Bai Yue have so much fun and didn't disturb it, he lit a fire by the stream, caught two fat fish in the stream, and roasted them seriously.
At this time, night had fallen, Qiao Yuan recalled Bai Yue, and after a man and a wolf had eaten and drunk, he walked around the valley for half an hour, and then returned to the cave mansion.
Tonight, Qiao Yuan and Bai Yue didn't cultivate, they had to sleep well.
Since leaving Qingfeng Village, he has not slept a peaceful night, perhaps, in the days after Qiao Yuan, a peaceful sleep will become a luxury.
