Chapter 237: Temple Sneaking
That night, Xiao Ziyang turned into a wisp of breeze and fled towards the temple. His target, the Great Snow Mountain Guardian Monk, was in a very conspicuous position. It was the top floor of the tall stone tower behind the temple. There, there was no second monk.
Xiao Ziyang had just crossed the tall wall of the temple, and suddenly felt a refreshing and rich aura, rushing towards him.
He had just entered the royal tent today, and found that the entire royal court was on a very large, but thin spiritual vein. The aura in this temple was ten times richer than the outside, reaching the level of a medium-grade spiritual vein, and it was obvious that a powerful spirit gathering array was arranged in the temple.
He landed on the ridge of the stone building, and his mind reached into the building, where the guardian monk was meditating in an empty ashram. Inside the stone building, the aura is even stronger, almost close to the high-grade spiritual vein. Obviously, this stone tower is the eye of the spirit gathering array in the temple.
Xiao Ziyang's divine thoughts slowly swept over the guardian monk who was meditating quietly.
Xiao Ziyang's divine thoughts are comparable to those of mid-stage Jindan monks, and after the tempering of the "Pure Heart Refining Divine Mantra", his divine thoughts are even more delicate than those of ordinary mid-Jindan monks. The guardian monk was unaware.
Xiao Ziyang found that in addition to the exposed eyebrows and nose of this monk, which were very similar to him, the part hidden under his beard was actually very different from him.
This person's mandible is very wide, and his mouth is two points larger than Xiao Ziyang's. It ruined the entire contour of his face, and if he had removed his beard, it would have looked a little ugly. Maybe that's why he likes to have a big beard?
If Xiao Ziyang also has a big beard, he will be eight or nine points similar to this person's current appearance.
In fact, the hair on Xiao Ziyang's face is also very developed. It's just that he doesn't like messy beards, so he doesn't keep them.
Therefore, if he wanted to dress up this person, he did not need any additional means, just a beard.
As he continued to go deeper, a heavy doubt rose in Xiao Ziyang's heart.
Through careful investigation by his divine thoughts, he found that the monk's real age was less than thirty years old.
With the talent of the five-grade human spiritual root of this human fire system, at such an age, it is simply incredible to cultivate to the realm of foundation building condensation. Even if it is a cultivator above the fifth rank of the Heavenly Spirit Root, who can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building before the age of thirty, it is rare. There are only a few people in the Daluo faction, such as Wang Ziling.
This person's cultivation speed simply defied common sense.
Xiao Ziyang carefully observed the speed at which this person swallowed the aura of heaven and earth, and even risked being discovered, probing his divine thoughts into this person's dantian to check his speed of condensing the true element.
The more he probed, the more strange Xiao Ziyang became. Whether it is the speed at which this person swallows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or the speed at which he condenses the true element, he is no different from an ordinary earth spirit root cultivator, but the true yuan in his dantian is very pure, almost no worse than the heavenly spirit root cultivator. What is the reason for this?
Curious, Xiao Ziyang urged the "Ziyuan Divine Eye", and at the same time used his divine sense to probe, and at the same time, he carefully observed this monk from beginning to end.
Suddenly, Xiao Ziyang found that in this person's body, the two miscellaneous spirit roots other than the fire spirit root were actually a little faint, and they seemed to be covered by spells.
With his divine thoughts, he probed carefully, and found that this person had actually used a spell to cleverly cover the two miscellaneous spirit roots in his body.
Although this kind of masking spell has nothing to hide under Xiao Ziyang's "Purple Yuan Divine Eye", it is not a problem to deceive magic weapons such as the Inheritance Treasure Book, or even the spiritual eyes of ordinary fake Dan monks.
Xiao Ziyang could also understand the purpose of this person's doing.
If someone finds out that his cultivation speed is unreasonable, it will naturally attract the prying eyes of others, and even the questioning of high-level cultivators. When the time comes, he will naturally keep it a secret.
But none of this explained why this person's cultivation speed was so fast.
Xiao Ziyang didn't give up, and carefully checked the person's whole body again, turning it over and over again, but there was no gain.
He naturally can't stop there, if he doesn't figure out this person's hole cards, if he has any treasures against the sky, when the time comes, kicking an iron plate, overturning in the gutter, then he wants to cry without tears.
So Xiao Ziyang lurked on the roof of this temple. A night has passed, and Xiao Ziyang still hasn't found the slightest clue.
Xiao Ziyang did not leave the next day, he hid on the roof, and continued to monitor the monk. One day, two days...... , five days...... Seven days have passed, and with Xiao Ziyang's patience, after seven days of lurking, he still found nothing, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and he had the idea of giving up.
On the evening of the eighth day, Xiao Ziyang decided that if there was still no gain, he would give up his plan and no longer provoke this unknown enemy.
At night, the guardian monk of Daxue Mountain, who had been quietly meditating and practicing qi for eight days, finally moved.
Due to this person's throughput, the boiling spiritual energy tide suddenly and gradually subsided. Xiao Ziyang, who had sensed something, was slack off because of seven or eight days of waiting, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly probed his divine sense.
The Prairie Monk has already received the exercises. He opened his eyes and looked at the ground in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and shot a spell at the ground in front of him, and after a slight sound, a dark grid suddenly appeared on the ground.
He reached out and pulled out a small black tower a foot tall from the dark compartment.
"Spirit Beast Tower"! Xiao Ziyang recognized this item at a glance. He couldn't help but secretly regret that in the past seven or eight days, he had only cared about repeatedly probing people, but he had forgotten to search the house carefully, and he had missed such a secret grid that was covered up by a not-so-clever magic circle.
It's no wonder that Xiao Ziyang never puts valuables in the Immortal Mansion, all his important things are in the storage magic weapon he carries with him, so naturally he thinks that others are the same as himself.
Ordinary storage bags can only hold dead things, and if you put a living thing in it and take it out, it will become a corpse, but treasures such as the Spirit Beast Tower and the Spirit Beast Ring can hold living things.
Such treasures are essential for monks who are good at domesticating spirit animals.
The Daluo faction also has the art of domesticating spirit beasts. Although this technique can increase the combat power of the monk, it is an external way after all, and it has no benefit from the monk's own cultivation, so except for some monks who have no hope of advancement, few people study it.
The space ritual that can accommodate living creatures cannot be made into a soft bag shape due to the special requirements for the construction of the internal space, and most of them appear in the form of tripods, towers, rings, etc.
This type of artifact is also a space artifact and cannot be placed in a storage bag. This is probably the reason why this person will hide this object in a dark compartment. After all, this thing is quite large and inconvenient to carry on the body.
Xiao Ziyang carefully probed the Spirit Beast Tower with his divine thoughts, and found that it was not of high grade, and the internal space was only a few zhang, which was comparable to the lowest-level storage bag.
This thing seems bulky and has a small interior space, but it is quite valuable, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary storage bags.
