Chapter Forty-Seven: The Ice Pond Cave Mansion

The time when the golden sword appeared was too good, if it had been earlier, Ning Wei would definitely still be vigilant, at least he would not have been killed in such an embarrassment.

In the distance, Luo Yan walked towards here unhurriedly, and there were two more Qiankun bags in his hand, both of which were obtained from the fat man's hands, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Luo Yan made up a few more knives, and then chased after Ning Wei.

With a wave of his right hand, Luo Yan took the golden sword into his arms and groped for Ning Wei's body, and after a short time, Luo Yan found a Qiankun bag, and after some exploration, Luo Yan's face was slightly disappointed.

These two people don't know if it's because they're poor or what, the spirit stones in the three Qiankun bags add up to a total of fifteen medium-grade pieces, and there are also some messy jars and jade bottles, and the rest is nothing.

Luo Yan didn't know that after every robbery, they would squander recklessly, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so they didn't have much valuable things on them.

After searching for a moment again, and didn't find anything else special, Luo Yan stopped, and with a flick of his fingers, a ball of fire instantly devoured Ning Wei's body, and in a few moments, it had disappeared cleanly.

Clapping his hands, Luo Yan was just about to leave, when suddenly there was a flicker, and in the place where Ning Wei turned into ashes, a dusty brown paper was lying there quietly.

With a soft sigh, Luo Yan grabbed the brown paper in his hand, which seemed to be a map, with the outlines of some mountains outlined in very thick charcoal, and in the middle of the mountains, there was a vague majestic temple, marked with red cinnabar.

After looking at it carefully, Luo Yan didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and took the kraft paper into his arms, and then fled into the distance.

Luo Yan didn't know that this unclear map would bring him unimaginable changes, and his life would be completely changed because of this map.

......

In three days, Luo Yan returned to the sect, and along the way, wherever there was no one, Luo Yan used his sword to fly, and its speed was more than twice as fast as when he came, which made Luo Yan even more interested in the art of the sword.

Back at the No. 62 Stone Courtyard, Luo Yan simply cleaned up, and left Qingtian Peak, according to the instructions on the map, Luo Yan performed the Cloud Soaring Technique, and soon arrived at a peak close to the edge of the Qingcheng Mountain Range.

This mountain peak is not precipitous, but it is unusually high, the ravines on the mountain peak are vertical and horizontal, as if it is split vertically by the axe of heaven, and the peak is strangely divided into four or five areas, the middle is an abyss that is ten thousand zhang deep, and the distance between each other is also a hundred zhang away.

Qingxue Peak, one of the eighteen peaks of Qingcheng, Qingcheng Mountain Range is evergreen all year round, only this peak is covered with snow all year round at the position of half of the mountain, so it is called Qingxue Peak.

This peak was chosen for two reasons.

First, Luo Yan likes to be quiet, among the three peaks, Qingxue Peak has the fewest caves, and it is also the farthest away from the main peak.

Second, there is also a large area of red stone wood forest on this Qingxue Peak, probably because the red stone wood is biased towards fire, so cultivating here is particularly beneficial to Luo Yan's red spirit species.

The map given by the ruthless elder is very detailed, it clearly marks the location of each cave, who the master is, how to cultivate, the triangle is marked with the general foundation building period disciples, and the circle marked is the monk of the Hua Dan period, this map is clearly marked with five Hua Dan period monks, thirty-nine foundation building period monks, Luo Yan is exactly the forty.

According to the map, Luo Yan went straight to the redstone forest. The area of this red stone forest is much larger than that of Qingtian Peak, far above the clouds, Luo Yan saw a large area like a sea of fire, and not far below the red stone forest, it happened to be the famous snow cover of Qingxue Peak.

One white and one red, with the dotted green plants around, it is also very quiet and elegant here, and it is unique.

Lowering his body, Luo Yan kicked his legs lightly, and he rushed into the red stone forest, he was like a spirit monkey, jumping and moving, and unconsciously went deep into the forest.

The aura here is very strong, but the air seems to be a little cold and dry, the deeper you go into the forest, the more obvious this feeling becomes, Luo Yan's face is not surprised or happy, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, there must be something strange here.

Sure enough, after about an hour of climbing along the mountain forest, a small pond with a radius of forty or fifty zhang appeared in Luo Yan's field of vision.

The water of this pool is unusually clear, as if the purest crystal is inlaid on the fire-colored rock, the biting chill is coming from here, the pool water is not deep, about five zhang, you can clearly see the fine sand at the bottom of the pool, on the edge of the pool, clusters of bright red flowers bloom.

The rhizomes of those flowers were thick and long, and there were many aerial roots on them, and these roots all reached into the pool as if they had been promised, and a thin layer of frost could be seen on those roots.

The flower is as large as a face, with seven stamens in the middle, and the tip of the stamens is split into three petals, emitting a faint blue light.

"Seven Star Begonias?" Luo Yan recognized the huge flowers at a glance, this is a spirit flower that likes the cold very much, a fully open Seven Star Begonia can be exchanged for about four hundred lower grade spirit stones in the Fang Market, there are more than a hundred here, but Luo Yan did not want to pick them down.

Luo Yan circled around the ice pool, and finally stopped on the other side of the ice pool. On the edge of the ice pool, there was a very large cyan rock, half of which was outside, and half of which was deep into the ground, like a huge wedge.

The protruding part, there is a small depression in the direction of the front ice pool, about a meter deep, Luo Yan entered and probed, very satisfied, it was dry and quiet, although it was a little cold, but for a monk like Luo Yan, it was nothing at all.

After careful measurement, Luo Yan finally decided that this place would be his cave mansion.

With the swing of the golden sword in his hand, the huge cyan rock was quickly sliced open, and the depression became more and more obvious. For example, the red stone forest is not on the top of the mountain, but above the mountainside, so the terrain here is inclined downward, and the direction of Luo Yan's excavation is upward, and as soon as the two are balanced, the cave is completed.

Luo Yan specially went deep into the cave into the belly of the mountain, and also opened up two ear chambers, one of which was to place the puppet he had purchased, and the other was for him to cultivate.

This process took Luo Yan half a day to open up the cave, he was really not good, the inner wall of the cave was full of potholes, full of sword marks, and the ear chambers on both sides were even larger and smaller, and the shape was also quite irregular and completely asymmetrical.

Although this cave is about to come down, but for the ice spring in the middle room, Luo Yan wasted a lot of effort, he cut down a few red stone woods, carved them into wooden strips, and then spread them around the ice fountain in an orderly manner, and finally carefully cut off the excess corners with the purple spirit blade.

The water in this ice spring is extremely rich in spiritual energy, if you cultivate in it, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and the red stone wood is paved around, which is very good to dispel the cold qi in it.

After doing all this, Luo Yan came to the ear chamber on the left side. In the ear room, more than a dozen puppet beasts of different sizes stayed quietly on the side, the large one was one or two meters long, and the small one was only about half a human.

The puppet beast is made entirely of metal, in which the spirit beast spirit is used to refine the core, and then controlled through the aura. The better the materials used to make the puppet, the higher the grade will be, and the more difficult it will be to control, although Luo Yan has not yet succeeded in cultivating, he already has a considerable understanding of puppetry.

The Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect is very good at puppet techniques, after all, the strength of the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect is generally not high, so the essence of this puppet technique is not a secret in the Hundred Flowers Sect, and most of the puppets circulating in the outside world are incomplete, and it is said that the most advanced puppets can be no different from real people, and it is not a problem to fight with one enemy and three enemies.

Putting these puppets in front of him one by one, Luo Yan began to study the puppet technique according to the Tianhong Record, this puppet technique does not know if it is the Hundred Flowers Authentic Sect, Luo Yan is very difficult to study, but he has time now, so he just sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering word by word.
