Chapter 35: The Catacombs
"What the hell is going on, why does it seem that the disciples of the four sects are all talking about a big matter?" Li Muran asked in confusion.
"Senior Brother Zhao just came back, I don't know yet. I'll be back a few days before you, just in time!" Mu Li said, briefly explaining what happened.
It turned out that just a few days ago, when several disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect were carrying out the task of breaking the mortal dust, they were looking for and hunting down several demon beasts mentioned by the name of the village, and they inadvertently broke into a huge ancient tomb that was very secret. These disciples were in danger, and only two escaped alive and immediately returned to the sect to report the incident.
The Sword Spirit Sect attached great importance to this matter and sent additional people to investigate, but somehow, this matter was known to the other three sects such as the Yuan Fu Sect, and they also sent people to investigate. After some deliberation among the big men in charge of the four sects, it was finally decided that the four sects would join forces to investigate the "Catacomb", and the time was set for two months later.
"Two months later, in such a hurry?" Li Muran was slightly surprised, generally speaking, this kind of big thing that alarmed the entire sect had to be repeatedly considered for a long time and many detailed arrangements would be made before it could be finally implemented, and now the four sects were so urgent, it seemed that the four sects were very interested in the secrets and treasures in the underground tomb city.
Mu Li said: "Yes, in the past two months, the four sects will send people to jointly guard the entrances and exits, and in two months, they will let me wait for the disciples to go on an expedition." Now almost all the disciples are preparing for this. ”
"It is said that the scope of the underground tomb city is very large, and the age is difficult to verify, because it has been sealed for many years, I am afraid that there are many treasures that have never been born, and there may even be various precious elixirs of extremely high years, tsk, if you can find an elixir, you can rest easy in this life!"
Li Muran suddenly said: "No wonder the magic weapons and finished talismans in Fang City are selling very well, this is the most convenient way to quickly improve your own strength." ”
On the other hand, although meditation can be done slowly, it only takes two months, and it is difficult to achieve significant results.
"Master summoned me and others this time, probably for this purpose. Qingfengzi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, are you interested in that underground city?"
"Naturally, I want to open my eyes. Li Muran said, "I'm afraid that I won't have enough qualifications, and the sect won't let me wait." ”
As soon as Li Muran said this, several other young disciples couldn't help but be a little worried, they often heard that in addition to being diligent in cultivating immortals, chance was also very important, and it would be a great pity to miss such a good opportunity.
While a few people were talking, they had already arrived at the Zixia Temple Hall, and they were each standing in two rows, waiting for Master Zixia Daoist to come.
Half an hour later, with a light cough, Zixia Daoist walked out of the inner hall, walked into the main hall, and sat straight on the main seat.
Li Muran and other disciples, under the leadership of Qingfengzi, paid homage neatly, and Zixia Daoist nodded with a smile, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
"Well, they all cultivated well, and they weren't lazy!" Zixia Daoist smiled, twisted his long beard in his hand, and swept his gaze from all the disciples according to this, nodding slightly to show his approval.
Seeing the master's relaxed and joyful expression, all the disciples were relieved in their hearts, and they were secretly happy.
When Zixia Daoren saw Li Muran, he couldn't help but pause, and his face changed slightly.
"Nameless, you have cultivated to the middle stage of the Qi Vein!" Zixia Daoist said in surprise, and then laughed: "Haha, the teacher has long seen that you have good qualifications, if the other Dao masters know about this, they will inevitably be ridiculed and lost their eyes, and let the teacher pick up a wizard for nothing." ”
"This is all thanks to Master's cultivation and the guidance of all senior brothers. Li Muran bowed and was humble.
Zixia Daoren nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, not arrogant or impatient, continue to work hard, the future is limitless!"
"Yes, thank you, Master!" Li Muran replied.
"You are all very good," Zixia Daoist said to the disciples, "Judging from your cultivation, you are not lazy on weekdays, and you are all people who can cultivate diligently and diligently;
Speaking of this, Zixia Daoist paused, and all the disciples felt a pang in their hearts, knowing that the master was going to get to the point.
"What is the so-called thing for the teacher to call you here this time, I think you have already guessed some of it. Zixia Daoist continued: "Yes, the rumors about the underground tomb city are true. Moreover, the master and the other Taoist leaders of the sect have also discussed, and decided to lead a group of disciples to inspect. Hehe, it's said to be an inspection, but it's actually a treasure hunt. ”
Hearing Master's tone so relaxed, all the disciples were even happier, and they all looked excited about it.
Seeing this scene, the Zixia Daoist smiled slightly, and said loudly: "According to the decision of the four sects, each sect can send ten elders of the iQue Stage and take a hundred Qi Vein Stage disciples to hunt for treasures. The treasures found are held by each of the four sects, and it is not up to you to be able to access how to exchange and trade them in the future!"
"The good news is that Master Wei is also one of the elders of the Fugue period who went to the Catacombs City of the Sect, and Master Wei plans to send some disciples to go. I don't know who wants to go with the teacher?"
"The disciple is willing to go!" As soon as Zixia Daoren's voice fell, all the disciples agreed in unison without the slightest hesitation.
Originally, Li Muran was still a little hesitant, but when he heard that masters like Master would also go together, the danger would be greatly reduced. Even though there is still a certain amount of risk, in the immortal cultivation world, how far can a person who does not dare to bear the risk at all go?
"Very good!" Zixia Daoist nodded happily and said, "There are not many disciples accepted by the teacher, so I will no longer pick and choose, since you are willing, then go together!"
"Yes, thank you, Master!" the disciples agreed loudly, each overjoyed.
"But there is a rule that the teacher must explain in advance," Zixia Daoist said with a straight expression: "This time I went to the underground grave city, and the treasures found must be handed over to the sect, and after the sect collects the treasures, it will reward the disciples who find the treasures in the form of spirit stones." Don't underestimate this achievement, although it is only one-tenth, if you can find one or two precious elixirs, it will be enough to get a high reward, so that you can wait for your cultivation to worry-free!"
All the disciples were slightly disappointed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, and it was better to have a reward than nothing.
"If there is nothing else to do, you can go down and prepare for your life. Zixia Daoist said: "Two months is not a long time, it is not a short time, now carefully prepare some means, it will come in handy in the future!"
"Yes, Master!" the disciples were ordered to leave.
There are few disciples in Zixia Temple, and the number of places is sufficient, so it is easy to let every disciple go; as for other Taoist temples, there are as few as twenty or thirty disciples and as many as sixty or seventy, so the number of places is very short. In order to win a chance to go to the Underground Tomb City to hunt for treasures, these disciples had to carry out some competitions and competitions, and the Master selected them to have this opportunity to follow the Master to the Underground Tomb City.
The news that the disciples of Zixia Guan could go to the underground tomb city also spread among the disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect, attracting a lot of envy. The group of disciples of the same class who used to laugh at Mu Li and Li Muran as audit disciples are still young, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to stand out in their respective divisions, so these two people who directly won the quota have become the target of everyone's envy. The so-called blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and that's roughly what it is.
"How should I prepare for two months?" Li Muran returned to his room and thought carefully.
He had just advanced to the middle stage of the Qi Vein, and it was originally a good time to cultivate, refining the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to make his mana more abundant and profound. However, in the cultivation of perseverance day after day, in just two months, even with the help of a large number of elixirs, the cultivation will only be gradually improved, and there will be no earth-shaking changes.
Two months, judging from the choices of other disciples, it was either a magic weapon, a talisman, or a cultivation to be familiar with a certain spell.
Magic weapons were not Li Muran's first choice - he heard that magic weapons were expensive treasures that only disciples in the late stage of Qi Vein dared to use, and magic weapons with slightly better quality were ridiculously expensive. And although the low-quality magic weapon is cheap, it is not very useful, and it takes a lot of time to get familiar with it, which is not as good as his old profession - talismans.
Li Muran decided to prepare a batch of talismans for this - not only him, but most of the disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect planned to do so, after all, the talisman was easy to use, both offensive and defensive, and when encountering danger, using the talisman was a convenient and effective means of dealing with it.
"At the middle stage of the Qi Vein, it's time to try to practice a few more advanced beginner and intermediate level spells. Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
In terms of the qualifications for cultivating spells, Li Muran during the day can only be regarded as very ordinary, even a little clumsy, but once it is night, it is very different. At night, Li Muran's mana cultivation is extremely fast, the mana is abundant, and the circulation and mobilization are also exceptionally smooth, and the practice of spells is like a matter of course, "a thousand miles in one night", Li Muran is confident that he can master several new spells within two months.
Moreover, with the help of the mysterious bronze mirror, as long as Li Muran can cast spells, he can make the corresponding spell runes - anyway, as long as the rune paper is illuminated by the light of the mirror, the painting of the fighting text will be smooth sailing, and it will not be affected by all kinds of invisible obstacles.
"If it's just dealing with ordinary threats, having these talismans in hand is probably enough. But if you encounter unimaginable danger, a few talismans will be useless!"
Thinking of this, Li Muran's mind naturally recalled the turtle shell-shaped magic weapon that the monks of Daming Temple had stolen and cultivated not long ago. At the beginning, this person only relied on this magic weapon to defuse the blow of the famous and third-ranked flying shuttle on the hidden weapon list, which left a very deep impression on Li Muran.
"If you have the opportunity to go to Fang City, if you can buy a defensive magic weapon like that, it would be the best!"
