The next six years were the most comfortable days for Lin Quan after he came to the Yin Yang Bagua Sea.

Because of the complete success of the "Nightmare Soul Splitting Technique", he finally didn't have to worry about the third girl's body collapsing. So, completely relaxed, he ended his retreat as an ascetic and returned to normal cultivation.

He began to take the initiative to visit the monks in the nearby caves, exchanging cultivation experiences with them, and sometimes participating in small exchange meetings organized by his colleagues.

In his spare time, he would go around the market every once in a while, and as long as he encountered a classic book that he had not read and a spiritual grass seed that he had not collected, he would buy it directly without saying a word. In addition, as long as it was an immortal cultivation item that he didn't know, no matter whether it was of good or bad quality or what its use was, he would also find a way to figure it out.

In this way, he wanted to accumulate his knowledge little by little, so that he could integrate into the ranks of the sea monks as soon as possible.

Not to mention, after eight years of hard work, Lin Quan is now quite familiar with the general situation of the sea area. He estimated that except for those elites who came from big forces, ordinary small sect disciples or ordinary condensate stage cultivators could not compare to him.

In addition, Lin Quan also learned a lot of interesting secrets and gossip from some special channels.

Among them, he was most interested in the situation of Yin Yang Holy Island and Tianji Demon Island, as well as the reason why the Wei Xuan Yi vein disappeared, and why he was also reduced to a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat him.

It's a pity that these messages are originally different opinions, and they are completely inaccurate, and he finally gave up after inquiring about dozens of completely different versions in a row. At this time, he naturally understood that these news were not accessible to the Condensation Cultivator, and he would never be able to know the truth unless he advanced to the Ning Dan, or even the Yuan Infant.

Thinking of this, Lin Quan no longer struggled and continued to cultivate in an orderly manner.

He planned to drastically reduce the time spent visiting friends, communicating, and wandering around the Fang City in the next few years, and instead concentrate on refining a batch of second-order magic circles and second-order puppets, and then go to sea alone when everything was ready.

He thought very clearly, whether it was looking for spiritual objects that would help Ning Dan or collecting a large number of demon beast materials, and cultivating the remaining four exercises of the "Five Elements True Solution" to perfection, neither of these two ways could avoid the hurdle of going out to sea to hunt demons.

As for the risks, he wasn't too worried.

After six years of hard cultivation, the cultivation of him, Lei Ruolan, and Yu Lingfeng is not far from the peak of the late stage of condensation, and Lian Bingyun is even more because he is in the sea area, and his current strength will never be inferior to that of Boss Jing back then. In addition, he also has Xu You in the condensation stage, and two smart little yin spirits who can arrange magic circles, and in summary, he can now be worth an entire elite hunting team alone. It is precisely because of such confidence that he dares to go to sea alone.

So, in the following days, he basically nested in the refining room during the day to carefully refine the array equipment, and returned to the meditation room at night, first taking an hour to practice the "Holy Armor Returning to the Yuan Jue" with the three daughters, and then taking medicine and meditating the rest of the time.

Two years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, when he exhausted all kinds of precious materials to refine more than fifty sets of array equipment, and was about to go to the Fang Market to buy another batch, a flash of fire suddenly flew into the cave.

"Hey, who is sending this note?"

Lin Quan was slightly stunned when he saw this, and reached out to grab the talisman seal and pinch it gently. Then, a familiar cold voice came out.

"Concubine Leng Yao, is it this woman? So, Boss Jing should also ......?"

Thinking of this, Lin Quan was quite excited in his heart, and his figure flickered to the gate of the cave, and with a wave of his hand, he removed the defensive prohibition. He was not surprised that this woman could find this place, when he left the Seven Islands of Xingluo, he sent a transmission note to the cave mansion of the six people of Boss Jing, stating that he would go to Kunling Island to live temporarily.

"Jin Daoyou, after 16 years, I didn't expect your cultivation to be so diligent, it's really gratifying. ”

Concubine Leng Yao was still wearing a white dress, as cold as a snow lotus. She looked at Lin Quan for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said more than twenty words in a row.

"Fairy Leng has an overreputation, Jin's current cultivation is all thanks to you. Lin Quan arched his hand, and then looked around, but he didn't see Jing Mengyuan and the others, and couldn't help but ask with a worried face, "By the way, I don't know if Boss Jing ...... them?"

"Don't worry, Boss Jing, everything is fine, Jin Daoyou doesn't need to worry. ”

The true feelings that naturally appeared in Lin Quan's eyes, Concubine Leng Yao could see it very clearly. She nodded secretly, feeling that she was not looking for the wrong person, and said with a slight smile that made Lin Quan's heart feel relieved.

"That's really good!" Lin Quan was happy in his heart, and stretched out his hand to lead him, "Fairy Leng, if you don't see the outside, please go into the mansion and talk about it." ”

Boss Jing and the others were all friends he recognized, and Lin Quan was very happy to learn that they had escaped from danger. Therefore, I want to know more about how the six of them saved the day back then. In addition, he also saw that it was no accident that Concubine Leng Yao came to Kunling Island to find him.

"It's okay, I came to Kunling Island this time to discuss something with you. Concubine Leng Yao did not refuse, and walked into the cave first.

"Oh, I don't know what's the matter with the fairy?" Lin Quan asked with interest as he poured her spiritual tea.

"Ancient Monk Ruins!"

Concubine Leng Yao said straight to the point, "By chance, I discovered an ancient monk's inheritance with a fellow Daoist surnamed Hong. However, this senior has set up several checkpoints in the cave as a test, including formations, traps and puppets. Fortunately, Hong Daoyou and I happened to study the formation method and mechanism, and passed the first two levels one after another. But ......"

Speaking of this, her face changed slightly, obviously recalling some bad experiences, and she paused before continuing, "But in the third level, I met a humanoid puppet whose strength had reached the early stage of Ning Dan. We had no choice but to do anything about it, but instead provoked its ferocity, tired two colleagues to die on the spot, and finally had to return in disgrace. Concubine Yao came this time in the hope of using Jin Daoyou's attainments in the puppet to help us overcome difficulties together. ”

"Formation, do you still have humanoid puppets in the mechanism?"

Lin Quan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought of the Weixuan line.

However, he didn't show a strange look on his face, and after a moment of silence, he pretended to be disapproving: "With all due respect, since the fairy and Ling You have already had an experience, and I want to know something about that third-order humanoid puppet, wouldn't I be able to solve those puppets by inviting a few more friends at that time?" Why do you have to ask a puppeteer for help?"

"Invite more friends, if I could, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"

Concubine Leng Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Jin Daoyou, don't you know, there is a ban on the number of people at the entrance of that ancient cultivation site, and only four people can enter at a time. And since the inheritance was discovered by me and that Hong Daoyou, in order to ensure everyone's interests, we have long agreed to invite a powerful loose cultivation puppet master to help. ”

"You also know that although there are many people who know how to use puppet techniques in our casual cultivation, there are very few who are really good at it. Otherwise, our team would not have postponed the plan to go to sea to hunt demons because we couldn't find a suitable puppeteer eighteen years ago. I thought about it, and among the loose cultivation puppet masters I am familiar with, only Jin Daoyou can meet the requirements. ”

"I see...... But there's still something unclear about the future. ”

Lin Quan frowned, his eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a while, he asked again, "As far as I know, third-order puppets are extremely sharp in both spells and melee combat, especially in a small place like the Cave Mansion, why didn't the fairy invite the refiner to help?"

"Kim Do-woo's idea is very good, but unfortunately it doesn't work at all in that ruin. ”

Concubine Leng Yao spread her hands helplessly, "Because the cave where the humanoid puppet is stationed is completely filled with a strange light golden mist, in that fog, the strength of the humanoid puppet will increase by two percent out of thin air, and no matter how many injuries it takes, it will recover quickly." On the contrary, we immortal cultivators are subject to restrictions everywhere. Whether it is law cultivation, physical cultivation or ghost pet spirit beasts, they will all be cut by two percent of their strength, and they will not be supplemented by a trace of spiritual power. I estimate that even if the early stage cultivator of Ning Dan enters, if he can't destroy the core of the puppet in the shortest possible time, he will be consumed by life. ”

"A weird golden mist that can not only isolate the aura but also automatically repair the puppet's injuries? Could it be a golden magnetolight!" Lin Quan was finally moved this time, and blurted out his guess.

"Do you know the origin of this strange mist?" Concubine Leng Yao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she glanced at Lin Quan with great meaning, "Afterwards, Hong Daoyou and I have searched through various classics and have not been able to know the name and origin of this mist, it seems that Jin Daoyou, your attainments in the puppet are really extraordinary!"

The fairy praised it falsely, and only saw a mist similar to it in a broken ancient book, so he guessed casually. Lin Quan shook his head in annoyance. In fact, he has already been tempted, and this time he deliberately "leaked his mouth" is nothing more than to show his strength and prepare to increase his voice for the future treasure hunt.

"Hehe, Jin Daoyou doesn't have to be presumptuous. Now that you know something about this fog, there must be a way to deal with it. Concubine Leng Yao naturally didn't believe it, and tried her best to invite, "As long as you promise to help, no matter what is in the treasure of the ancient monk after the matter is completed, you will definitely not be missing." And I have a puppet tome here from the ruins, which can be copied now as our sincerity. ”

As she spoke, she reached into her arms, took out a simple jade slip and put it on the table, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

"The puppet secret book in the ruins, but haven't you broken through all the levels, why did you gain something?" Lin Quanqi said.

"Quite simply, this ancient monk didn't put all the Inheritance Treasures at the end, we get some gadgets every time we pass a level. ”

"Well, since the fairy is so sincere, I agreed!"

"Okay! Kim Daoyou will definitely not regret today's decision!"

Receiving Lin Quan's affirmative reply, Concubine Leng Yao was ecstatic, but she still cautiously let Lin Quan make an oath not to leak secrets. After that, he explained all the matters related to the ruins in detail to Lin Quan, and then drifted away.
