The cave is actually myself

Chapter 139 "I will live forever in the cave"

In the Peach Blossom Forest, perhaps they knew that many powerful monks might appear nearby soon after the secret realm was opened. After the Treasure Hunting and Gold Tower appeared, not many monks entered the building to look for opportunities.

In the first few days, only some strange beasts entered occasionally, and not a single monk was seen.

Nearly half a month later, the number of monks appearing in the peach blossom forest has returned to half of the usual number. While looking for opportunities, they also gathered in small groups to discuss the information they learned from various places about the opening of the secret realm.

"Hey, have you heard that this time the secret realm was opened, a fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus actually appeared. If I am lucky enough to get a lotus seed, I will probably not have to worry about spiritual stones until I reach the early stage of foundation building."

"Indeed, the Earth Fire Heart Lotus is already very valuable, not to mention that the one in the secret realm is still a fourth-grade one."

"First let's see if your life is strong enough and whether you can get it. Not to mention anything else, a lot of the foundation-building monks who just snatched the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus died. Xuanyu Tower has successively sacrificed the lives of several foundation-building monks. The price will be greatly damaged."

"The treasure is found by those who are destined to get it. Maybe we are lucky and can get a fire heart lotus seed from the treasure box!"

A monk looked longingly at the restricted secret realm, his words full of yearning.

"The lottery is open! The big prize is waiting for us!"

When some monks thought of this possibility, their hearts became hot, and they pooled up a lot of principal in exchange for the treasure box in Xianyuan Building.

What if you win the grand prize by yourself?

With this mentality, many more treasure boxes were immediately released.

Lu Yuan slightly adjusted the requirements. The alien bones of monsters and beasts are still a mandatory requirement. In addition, he also slightly enhanced the value of various talismans, and some special materials used to refine human figurines have been improved a lot.

The treasure box contains a lot of magical weapons and skills. Anyway, there are light group rewards and monk storage bags to supplement these, so it doesn't cost a lot to spend.

"Huh? Isn't this flying sword the standard flying sword in Baibao Pavilion, the Yuhong Sword?"

A monk looked at the silver-white flying sword that came out of the treasure box and felt that it looked very familiar.

Turning it over and looking carefully at one end of the scabbard, sure enough, there was a special talisman unique to Baibao Pavilion.

"This red thread light-escape needle is the exclusive magic weapon of Senior Han in Cangxing City, right? Why does it appear in this treasure box?"

A monk took out several fiery red needle-shaped magic weapons and asked doubtfully.

This senior Han has a good reputation in Cangxing City. His cultivation is in the early stage of foundation building. A set of red thread light-escape needles is his representative magic weapon. He can see needles as well as people.

"It's impossible that Senior Han exchanged the red thread light-escape needle in order to extract the treasure box, right?"

When the monk thought of this possibility, he felt a little unbelievable.

If the truth is not like this, could it be that Senior Han was exploring the secret realm and then encountered an accident in the secret realm?
"No matter what, this set of red thread light-escape needles is mine now anyway. The only drawback is that the set of magic tools seems to have been lost a lot. I don't know how much it will cost to make up for it."

This set of needle-shaped magic weapons was naturally placed by Lu Yuan. He may have lost a few needles in the battle. The entire set of magic tools was reduced by less than half, and its power was greatly reduced.

As time passed, the number of monks in the Peach Blossom Forest returned to normal levels, and sometimes there were even more monks than before.

Lu Yuan gradually discovered that something was not right with a small number of monks, and they appeared outside the wooden building too frequently.

At first, Lu Yuan thought that they had an idea about the Luobao Hunting Tower, and he specially asked Fenggui Lantern to be on standby and pay more attention, but this idea was soon given up.

Through the vision shared by the Huanyin Tong clone, he discovered that this small group of monks were intentionally or unintentionally surrounding the cave, and even tried to test the cave's restrictions.

"This fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus seems to be more attractive than imagined..."

Lu Yuan guessed in his heart, thinking that monks in the middle and late stages of foundation building or even the elixir formation stage might come because of this, and he felt a sense of urgency.

With a little guidance, he created a scene where these monks with evil intentions met by chance.

Most of these monks were tasked with exploring. Most of them chose to avoid them when they encountered each other, and a small number of them caused conflicts head-on. As a result, many monks were seriously injured and died.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to steal a seriously injured and dying high-level Qi practitioner, intending to experiment with the refining method of human figurines to enhance the living power of the cave.

The monk was hanging with only one breath left. There were several huge wounds on his body, and many flesh sprouts extended near the wounds. He was on the verge of alienation.

Lu Yuan followed the refining technique on the jade slip and activated the magic formula to lock the monk's spiritual energy and remnant soul into the monk's body.

Then, after using this period of time to collect and tinker with a kind of green mud, the monk was smeared from head to toe and sealed, leaving no gaps exposed.

Then a strange rune pattern was drawn on the surface of the green clay sculpture, and the clay monk was buried in a place filled with Yin energy, and the green sculpture was worshiped from time to time.

The sacrificial refining lasted for 49 days. Seeing that the waiting time was too long, Lu Yuan turned his attention to another monk.

With the first experience, the second refining was much easier and more proficient, and one green clay sculpture after another was buried by the small lake.

The monks in the clay sculptures have different levels of cultivation, mainly high-level Qi practitioners, a small number of mid-level Qi practitioners, and an unlucky early-stage foundation-building monk.

After the 49th day, these clay sculptures can be excavated and turned into human figurines controlled by Lu Yuan.

The strength of these human figurines is closely related to the strength of the monks in front of them. Qi training can refine second-grade human figurines. The monk in the early stage of foundation building can probably get a third-grade human figurine.

The human figurines themselves have no consciousness and are completely controlled by Lu Yuan, but they still retain their own spiritual power and fighting instincts, which can prompt them to learn spells during their lifetime.

The body is flexible and free, coupled with the characteristics of being brave and not afraid of death, it can be used as a dead soldier in the cave. As long as it is not smashed into pieces, the body can be recovered by resting in the burial place for a period of time.

"In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of immortality for you."

"Although there is no consciousness, the body is still alive in this world, immortal, and glowing for the cave."

"If I have time in the future, I can write an autobiography for you to commemorate your contribution. I have given you a name. It's called..."

""I will live forever in the cave", or "I will live forever in the secret realm, starting from refining the human figurines."

"What do you think of this kind of autobiography title? If you don't say anything, it means you acquiesce."

Lu Yuan's mind stood above the small lake, looking at the gloomy mounds below, and he felt an inexplicable bad taste in his heart.

In the small mound, green bodies were lying quietly, absorbing the rich yin energy in the small lake, and the runes on the surface lit up slightly.
