Chapter 42: The Stone Wall
Shen Cheng was thinking nonsense while he began to use his skills again to absorb aura.
After advancing to the sixth layer of the Qi Melting Period, Shen Cheng felt that he no longer had to use his spiritual power to perceive the situation in his body as before, but could "look inside" all the changes in his body, and he felt that this might be the kind of "Yuan Shen Soul Power" that Ling Xiang said, after the enhancement.
However, at this time, the soul power of the Yuan Shen did not achieve the effect of producing "divine consciousness" and releasing it outside the body. It just made Shen Cheng feel that his divine thoughts were much more transparent, and it was not something that could be done overnight to produce a "divine sense" that could be released!
Shen Cheng planned to consolidate the advanced mana, and then carefully study all the spells that could be cultivated in front of him. When he had almost mastered it, he returned to the cave in Jinxia Mountain and went to the master's practice stone room to find out.
And after that, he was ready to leave for the Star Luo Country and go to the Xuanyuan Sect to find the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Ling family. Ask about Yueshi, and by the way, tell me about the news of Master's murder and your own speculation.
However, he didn't have the intention of begging the other party to help him get ahead! He only knew that the master had a close relationship with the old man surnamed Ling, but as for the extent of the deep friendship, he had no way to guess!
Besides, friendship and interests are two different things, after all, in this immortal cultivation world, most of the monks pay attention to practical interests!
Now that the master is dead, it is indeed a bit stupid to ask for an explanation or even avenge for him, except for him, a personal disciple, who would take such a thankless thing from himself!
But I don't know what Ling Xiang's ancestor has to do with that Xuanyuan faction, and he just sent Ling Xiang to that sect to continue his cultivation.
Shen Cheng also understood that casual cultivation was much stronger than cultivating alone to be able to worship a certain immortal cultivation sect and continue to cultivate. The low-level cultivators in those sects can at least be protected by the sect, so that they will not be bullied by immortal cultivators of other forces at will like most low-level scattered cultivators.
Moreover, once a low-level monk cultivates to the peak of the Qi Melting Period, he will not succeed in building a foundation without a Tsukidan, but if he does not join a certain sect, it will be extremely difficult to get his hands on this Tsukidan!
It would be great if the ancestor of the Ling family remembered the old relationship with his master and helped introduce him to join the Xuanyuan faction, which was also Shen Cheng's next plan. If you can't, you have to find another way, and at worst, you can continue to do a little casual cultivation and find your own opportunities between heaven and earth!
Thinking of this, Shen Cheng finished his work, got out of bed and walked out of the hut, and came to the house.
The sea in the distance beat the shore over and over again. The sound of the waves seemed to accompany the twilight clouds dancing in the wind in this courtyard.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Cheng left Taoye Island early and returned to Jinxia Mountain.
He cautiously probed around the cave, and felt that there was no threat, so he entered the stone hall of the cave.
It was still a mess here, Shen Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to this, and walked directly into the little old man's original practice stone room.
Looking at the walls of the stone room, Shen Cheng took out the hoe and pickaxe from the storage bag, which he brought on Taoye Island, which should be used by Ling Yunsu to open the soil and plant flowers.
At that moment, he used his spiritual control technique, driving two farm tools to smash and slash at the stone wall in turn. But who knew that the wall was harder than he could have imagined. In just a few strokes, the two farm tools were already a little deformed and out of shape in the sparks and stone chips, as if they were about to be scrapped.
Looking at the stone wall again, there was only a conical pit that had been carved out of the stone wall, which was not too deep.
Shen Cheng touched his forehead and groaned for a moment, then stretched out his right hand. In an instant, the tip of the index finger of the right hand suddenly condensed a foot-long, milky white translucent spiritual power arrow, and I saw that the conjured bow and arrow were lifelike.
A moment later, this spiritual power arrow "swished" and shot towards the cone-shaped stone pit on the stone wall, and after a muffled sound, a few small pieces of broken stone fell from the stone wall, but the stone pit did not expand much!
It seems that this spiritual power arrow has no effect on the hard stones on the stone wall.
In this way, Shen Chengcheng was a little hesitant! Do you want to use the Golden Snake Sword to chisel? That is a treasure that he regards as the root of his life! Once there is a mistake, how can he not make him feel distressed!
However, in order to find out the cause of Master's death, he could only give it a try! Shen Cheng summoned the Golden Snake Sword with some reluctance.
He first used a short sword to lightly slash twice on the stone wall, but fortunately, the Golden Snake Sword did not disappoint him, not only did not have the slightest damage, but it can be said that the stone is like mud. It seems that this short sword is worthy of being a low-level and high-grade magic weapon.
Only then did Shen Cheng put his mind at ease, and gradually began to increase his strength, driving the short sword to poke at the stone wall repeatedly. The large and small stones on the stone wall are like floods that have opened the floodgates, falling down one by one.
After a short day of hard work, Shen Cheng finally stopped, and most of the spiritual power in his body was consumed at this moment.
Looking at the stone wall in front of him, a stone trough more than half a person high and nearly a foot deep, as well as the broken stones in the stone room, Shen Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head!
He didn't want to keep doing this, wouldn't that be a fool moving mountains! Even if he continued to dig into the stone wall, it seemed that he might not be able to find any clues, and if he wanted to open up the entire mountain, it seemed that it would be difficult to do it without a year and a half of effort! Besides, whether the angle he chose was correct or not was another matter.
Shen Cheng frowned and thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with any good solution! Now it seems that it is not easy to uncover the secret behind this stone wall.
Coming out of the stone room, Shen Cheng took a deep look at the cave mansion that had allowed him to cultivate for three years, and then lowered his head and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
After bowing to the place where Master Jinxia Mountain was buried, Shen Cheng fled all the way to the north. He planned to go to Shuihong Country in the north first, go there to find a town where people gathered, and inquire about the path to Xingluo Kingdom.
After all, since he was born, he has never been to the north, and those merchants in the world have traveled south to the north to resell goods, and there will definitely be people who have been to the Star Luo country.
The next day, Shen Cheng, who left Jinxia Mountain, flew all the way north, but just as he flew to a small grassland at the junction of Cangqi Country and Shuihong Country, he suddenly saw a slight fluctuation of spiritual power on the ground in front of him, as if there were monks fighting!
This place was already far away from Jinxia Mountain, Shen Cheng didn't dare to step forward recklessly, so he hurriedly fell into the light and restrained his breath, and cautiously dived over.
