Chapter 159: One Step Late
After a few rests, they decided to go on the road again.
Liu Wuxian was worried about Zhou Nianjin's safety, so he asked Zhou Nianjin to go with them, and Zhou Nianjin readily agreed. Although Xu Qing and Liu Wuxian tried their best to stay, Ling Tiancheng still insisted on leaving alone.
"Senior Brother Ling, don't you think about it anymore? Now that the man in black is acting unscrupulously, if you encounter the man in black again, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for you to be alone. If we are walking together, we will at least take care of each other. Zhou Nianjin persuaded that Ling Tiancheng had a life-saving grace for her, and she naturally didn't want Ling Tiancheng to be in any danger, so she also tried her best to advise.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Zhou doesn't need to worry, last time we didn't know the details of the people in black, so we were surrounded by them. If I run into the man in black again, I'll do my best to avoid it. Finally, there is a chance to try, and it would be a pity to miss it. Ling Tiancheng said casually, not caring about the danger posed by the man in black.
Seeking opportunities in crises and stimulating potential in dangers, everyone has their own way of adhering to it, and Xu Qing and Liu Wuxian did not insist too much.
Zhou Nianjin took out the jade slip, then sank his mind into it, and asked after a while: "No trace, where are we going?" According to the introduction on the jade slip, there don't seem to be any precious elixirs or rare refining materials around here. ”
"Whoever said there was no elixir around here, we were going to look for the Fire Essence Grass. ”
"The Fire Grass can't bring out the volcano, what are we going to find the Fire Grass for?"
So, Liu Wuxian patiently explained the reason to Zhou Nianjin, but after Zhou Nianjin listened, he was more eager than Xu Qing and Liu Wuxian and asked to go on the road immediately. Because Zhou Nianjin forcibly urged the forbidden talisman before, which caused damage to his mind, Xu Qing and Liu Wuxian decided to set off a day later.
Xu Qing already had a life-saving grace for Zhou Nianjin, so she naturally didn't want to do it because of herself. and delayed Xu Qing's business. It's just that Xu Qing and Liu Wuxian ignored Zhou Nianjin's request, saying that they had not recovered from their injuries and needed to recuperate. Although Zhou Nianjin knew that they were lying, he could only nod helplessly and promise to set off again tomorrow.
With nothing to do, Xu Qing began to sort out the several storage bags he had obtained. Previously, because he was in a hurry, the storage bag he obtained in Longyan Mountain had not been sorted out.
The items in the storage bag were very rich, which made Xu Qing dizzy, even if he was quite wealthy, Xu Qing couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
In addition to a large number of spirit stones, magic weapons, spirit pills, spirit weapons, and spirit runes, which are essential for immortal cultivators, there are several very rare elixirs and refining materials, which they think they also found in Longyan Mountain.
Liu Wuxian also counted the storage bags beside him, and let out a smirk from time to time, making Zhou Nianjin, who was watching from the sidelines, keep rolling his eyes. After the storage bag is counted. Liu Wuxian whispered, "Why don't we rob those blackfriars?" ”
Xu Qing glanced at Liu Wuxian and said angrily: "Have you forgotten the experience of being hunted down and killed by the black-clothed monk in the late stage of foundation building that day? Who knows how many monks in the late stage of foundation building there are on the other side, maybe next time there will be a black-clothed monk who has built the foundation of great perfection." ”
Liu Wuxian smiled, he was just talking casually.
The next day, Zhou Nianjin's mental damage caused by the backlash was no longer hindered, and Xu Qing and the three of them immediately rushed to the area where the fire grass grew. The stone chamber was not far from its destination, and it only took a day for them to arrive.
A day later. Xu Qing and the others successfully arrived at the area marked on the jade slip.
It is fifty zhang long and thirty zhang wide. There are also ten zhang high, which can no longer be described by a stone room, it is completely a small underground palace. The ground in the dungeon is uneven, and small puddles are everywhere, but what is inside is not clear water, but solidified magma.
In the deepest part of this small dungeon. There, the magma was rolling, wisps of green smoke were swirling, and a dozen green plants were swaying on the shore of the magma pool, rippling with a little brilliance.
There were so many fire essence grasses, Xu Qing's eyes lit up slightly. A hint of joy gently rippled across his face. But that glimmer of joy was quickly put away by him, and the expression on his face became solemn.
Not far from the magma pool, three young monks in fiery red robes stood beside the magma pool with solemn faces, and about five or six feet in front of them, two men in moon-white robes were confronting them, and the atmosphere was unusually stagnant.
In the dungeon, the atmosphere was solemn, the smell of gunpowder was full, and the battle was about to break out, but the appearance of Xu Qing and a few people eased the atmosphere in the dungeon slightly. The five people on the side of the magma pool all looked at Xu Qing and the three of them, and after noticing the cultivation of the three of them, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The one wearing the fiery red robe is the Xuanhuo Sect disciple, and the one wearing the moon-white robe is the Taiyi Sect disciple, but I don't know why they are facing each other here? It can't be because of the Fire Essence Grass, right?" Liu Wuxian secretly transmitted to Xu Qing.
The three disciples of the Xuanhuo Gate are all in the middle stage of foundation building, while the two disciples of the Taiyi Sect are one in the late stage of foundation building, and the other is at the peak of the early stage of foundation building.
"In Xiayun Tianzong, there is no trace of willows, there is a way that it is better to settle the grievances, you senior brothers don't know what is going on, everything is easy to discuss, there is no need to hurt the harmony of the two factions for some trivial matters, why not turn the conflict into a jade silk? Liu Wuxian took a few steps forward and said loudly, his words sonorous and powerful, and his spirit was compelling.
When Liu Wuxian stepped forward, the disciples of Taiyi Sect and Xuanhuo Sect both had the heart to give him a dismount and make him retreat, and they all released the momentum of the strong man and pressed down on Liu Wuxian like a mountain. It's just that to their disappointment, Liu Wuxian was unconscious, his eyes were bright, his steps were firm and powerful, and he was not intimidated by their momentum in the slightest.
In recent years, the younger generation of disciples of Yuntian Sect have stirred up the storm in Jianzhou, won a lot of praise, and their reputation has a tendency to surpass the other four major sects. Liu Wuxian's demeanor immediately made Taiyi Sect and Xuanhuo Sect secretly praise in their hearts, originally they didn't think much of Yuntian Sect, thinking that it was just a rumor deliberately spread by someone with a heart.
But now it doesn't seem to be a rumor, Yun Tianzong may really have a bit of a doorway, Liu Wuxian is only in the early stage of foundation building, but his kind of awe-inspiring demeanor of a strong man can't help but make people feel impressed.
It's just that they don't know that what Liu Wuxian is cultivating is a technique inherited from sword cultivation, and the sword qi is already indomitable, and the momentum is overwhelming, so how can they be easily intimidated by their momentum? Although they are numerous, their momentum is refutated but not refined, and there are many loopholes, and they have not used all their strength, so it is naturally difficult to achieve the purpose of deterrence.
"Taiyimen, Luo Yongsheng. ”
"Taiyimen, Song Qing. ”
"Xuanhuomen, Hu Bin. ”
"Xuanhuomen, Zhao Changying. ”
"Xuanhuo Gate, Wu Xing. ”
Several people introduced themselves in turn, and Xu Qing and Zhou Nianjin also stepped forward to introduce themselves.
"In the last trial, the seniors of my sect had already discovered these fire essence grasses, but due to lack of preparation, it was difficult to properly bring these fire essence grasses back to the sect. It was because of this trial that the seniors of the sect prepared for us and ordered us to bring the fire grass back to the sect. Xuanhuomen Hu Bin stepped forward and said loudly.
"Hmph, the two of us were also ordered by the master to retrieve the fire grass, and obviously we arrived first, who knows if you see that there is a cheap and greedy, so you pretend to say that you are under the order of the master. Song Qing, the early disciple of the Taiyi Sect, snorted coldly, but Luo Yongsheng, the disciple of the late stage of the foundation, never spoke, and he never said anything about the words of his junior brother, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
