Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 326: Light-trapping Jade Ruler

Although he only roughly knew a small part of this magical secret method and could not get a full picture, Su Mu could already deduce the power of the secret method from this.

But he couldn't help but worry about the success rate.

It stands to reason that the success rate of this secret method is definitely not high, otherwise the fourth-level spiritual treasures would have been flying all over the sky, and how could it be like this?

However, as long as he can get this secret method, with the Jade Jue in his hand, Su Mu is confident that he can make up for some of the shortcomings of the secret method, enough to increase the chance of success, not to mention reaching 100%, but at least it will save him a lot of worry. .

"Although the plan is good, only when we get the secret method can we feel more at ease."

For some reason, as the time approached, Su Mu always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen.

Unfortunately, although today's Five Elements Sword Pills have the magical effect of sensing calamity qi, just like a doctor who does not heal himself, Su Mu can see the intensity of tribulation qi in others, but cannot detect the changes in his own body.

"Actually, it's not impossible to use other methods to explore the situation from the side. Since Senior Brother Cang and I are together, I should be able to roughly understand the situation by identifying the calamity aura on them."

It's just that Su Mu needs to familiarize himself with the details of fire control as soon as possible and try not to fall short due to his mistakes, so he can't get away to check the situation for the time being.

Another four days passed, and in the afternoon of the fifth day, Su Mu finally completed the rehearsals assigned to him.

He rested for another half day, and it was not until evening that Cang Qing came to visit him again.

"Junior Brother Su, I wonder how you are doing?" Cang Qing asked with concern.

Although the part that Su Mu was responsible for was not the most critical part, if he wanted to improve the success rate, he had to do the best in all the details. Cang Qing knew that he only had this one chance, so he had to treat it carefully.

"Fortunately, the rehearsal has almost been completed. There shouldn't be much problem."

Taking advantage of this free time, Su Mu did not hesitate to waste Yujue to demonstrate and repair some flaws that he had not noticed before. It can be said that he has achieved the best he can do.

Hearing what Su Mu said, Cang Qing finally showed a smile on his face.

In order to ensure that he could complete this task in the best possible condition, during these five days, he devoured several cherished fourth-level elixirs, and it could be said that he did not hesitate to spend his money.

Originally, he was a little uneasy and worried about the situation on Su Mu's side, but based on his understanding of the other party, since Su Mu dared to say that he had no big problem, he should really be sure of it.

At this moment, Cang Qing couldn't help but feel grateful for his original decision to take the risk.

To be honest, he didn't know how much risk it would take to let Su Mu get involved.

Once the matter is revealed, not to mention him, the entire Cang family may be implicated.

However, money touches people's hearts. If this can be done, it will be worth taking the risk.

Besides, it wasn't that Cang Qing looked down on Su Mu, it was because he was too reclusive and focused on his own practice and alchemy. With his knowledge, he really couldn't detect anything unusual.

What's more, he deliberately chose to take action at this period, so the other party would definitely not be able to take care of this side of things.

As long as you get through this period of time, everything will be settled.

At the same time, Su Mu also secretly observed the changes in the calamity energy on Cang Qing's body.

With the magical effect of the Five Elements Sword Pill, a gray-black cloud was seen constantly undulating on Cang Qing's body, and the size of the cloud seemed to be slowly increasing.

"What's going on? Is it possible that things are about to change?"

However, due to the lack of enough examples to compare, Su Mu could not judge what this kind of calamity represented, and could only wait and see.

Naturally, Cang Qing didn't know that Su Mu had such ability, but even if he knew, the matter was at this point, they could no longer turn back and could only bite the bullet and continue.

Under the leadership of Cang Qing, the two of them came to another cave.

At this time, the ancestor of the Cang family was sitting cross-legged on a huge stone pillar.

Cang Qing has laid out an exquisite formation around this stone pillar.

Su Mu subconsciously wanted to use the power of his spiritual consciousness to check the situation of the stone pillar, but no matter how he used it, the stone pillar was like a loach in the water, unable to get close at all. It seemed that there was always a distance that was neither long nor short.

"What a wonderful formation!"

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, he naturally knew that Cang Qing must have done some tricks because he did not want to expose the secrets in the stone pillars.

With the strength of Cang Qing's fourth-level formation mage, Su Mu could not break through, so he had to give up.

However, when Su Mu looked up, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene that followed.

In his sight, the calamity energy on the ancestor of the Cang family was almost solidified, and it looked like a poisonous snake constantly sucking the energy of the opponent.

Originally, the appearance of the ancestor of the Cang family was showing signs of deterioration. Under such a strong aura of calamity, his face was as pale as paper, without even a trace of blood, and he looked no different from a dead person.

"Is it possible that the death of the ancestor of the Cang family is approaching?" Su Mu looked calm on the surface, but the shock in his heart was beyond words.

In an instant, Su Mu came up with several suggestions to dissuade Cang Qing from giving up, but he really couldn't come up with a valid reason.

"Forget it, I can only wait and see what happens. Besides, maybe I think too much and if I act rashly, I may annoy the other party, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After thinking about it, Su Mu decided to remain calm.

Through some careful observation, he caught some clues. I am afraid that what the Cang family did may not be consistent with what they had said frankly before.

They must be hiding something!

However, there was no strong evidence after all, so Su Mu could only wait and see.

On the other side, Cang Qing and the ancestor of the Cang family looked at each other and confirmed that both parties were ready. Cang Qing threw it casually and sacrificed an alchemy furnace.

This is a simple bronze vessel with three legs and two ears. Judging from its aura, it is at least a medium-grade magic weapon.

"Zheng..."

A dull voice reached Su Mu's ears.

Under the eyes of everyone, the alchemy furnace slowly grew to the height of a person.

At the same time, a crimson light suddenly shot out from the hand of the ancestor of the Cang family.

This is a blazing fire.

As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the entire cave immediately rose a lot.

"The fourth-order mid-grade strange fire!"

After seeing the flame clearly, Su Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Ever since he let the Qianyuan Qinghuo consume and refine the fourth-level low-grade Yangyuan Shengxuanhuo, he had tried to find a higher-quality alien fire. However, because he had not advanced to the Nascent Soul stage at that time, he could not touch it. Not many monks arrived, so they were disappointed.

However, afterwards, he also went to understand some of the situation. In fact, it was not that people refused to give him this face, but that every fourth-order strange fire above was extremely precious, unless Su Mu could come up with a fourth-order elixir. , otherwise it would be really difficult to get it.

Unexpectedly, a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator like the ancestor of the Cang family collected one, and the quality seemed to be very good.

"Junior Brother Su, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Seeing his ancestor releasing the strange fire, Cang Qing quickly informed Su Mu who was beside him. After receiving the instructions, Su Mu eliminated the unnecessary distractions and slowly guided the strange fire to fly towards the alchemy furnace.

A fourth-level mid-grade exotic fire like this is extremely unruly and has amazing firepower.

The ancestor of the Cang family really spent a lot of effort to suppress this strange fire.

After releasing the strange fire, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike his opponent, Su Mu was an expert at controlling fire. Even when facing a fourth-level mid-grade alien fire, he still seemed to be able to do so with ease.

In Su Mu's hands, this strange fire suddenly became much more well-behaved.

However, Su Mu did not dare to take it lightly and still concentrated on using all his strength.

He followed the steps and requirements in the manual and started with the stove.

Even though Su Mu had done this kind of operation countless times when refining alchemy, the heater this time was much more detailed than what he had done before. If Su Mu hadn't rehearsed it in his mind several times in advance, he would have done it by heart. , it’s really impossible to make a deal.

Seeing the other person's effortless appearance, Cang Qing knew that he had chosen the right person.

However, when he thought that he had concealed his true intention, Cang Qing suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

But this feeling of guilt only appeared for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.

In the face of increasing strength and family justice, Cang Qing no longer cares about much.

When Su Mu had almost warmed up the alchemy furnace, Cang Qing pointed a finger with one hand, and the furnace lid immediately floated upward.

Next, he controlled the suction coming from the furnace and moved towards the stone pillar.

But the stone pillar seemed to have a lot of weight. No matter how hard Cang Qing tried, the stone pillar remained motionless.

Cang Qing had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he saw this scene, his face was still livid.

Fortunately, the ancestor of the Cang family took action in time.

A large blue-black hand rose from his forehead, directly grasped the stone pillar, and pulled the other person towards the alchemy furnace.

With the cooperation of the two, Shizhu finally made some movement.

Under the action of the alchemy furnace, the size of the stone pillar suddenly became smaller and slowly fell into the alchemy furnace.

When Shi Zhu completely entered the alchemy furnace, Cang Qing immediately sealed the furnace lid to prevent Shi Zhu from escaping.

Next, there is a long wait.

Su Mu still controlled the strange fire, burning the stone pillars violently or gently according to the various requirements in the handbook.

Originally, the stone pillar had no reaction at all when it was burned by the strange fire.

However, as time passed slowly, the stone pillar finally changed a little.

First, the outer layer of stone skin slowly melted, and then came the inner layers of stone flesh.

Fortunately, this strange fire is known for its powerful firepower. As long as Su Mu controls the changes in firepower, there is no need for him to do anything.

Otherwise, even if Su Mu has strong magic power, he will not be able to deal with it for too long.

However, it was not easy for Su Mu. He needed to control the firepower at all times, which consumed a lot of his spiritual consciousness. The two Cang family members could not replace him, so he could only support it alone.

Fortunately, he was already a Yuanying monk, and his soul was far stronger than ordinary Yuanying early-stage monks, otherwise he would not have been able to last for such a long time.

After three days and three nights, the last layer of stone flesh was finally revealed.

By the light of the fire, Su Mu could clearly see the scene in the stone pillar.

A ruler-like object was displayed in front of Su Mu.

"Hey, why does this ruler look so familiar?"

Unexpectedly, the more Su Mu looked at it, the more he felt like he had seen this thing before.

He thought about it carefully, and he really remembered it.

"Isn't this the light-trapping jade ruler from back then?"

Back then, when Su Mu was killing two golden elixir demon cultivators, Wujiao and Qinglin, from the Heavenly Demon Palace, he happened to encounter Gongsun Guang, a third-level high-grade fish who came to save people.

In order not to expose the existence of Qingning Fan, Su Mu had no choice but to let Chixiao boy take action. With just one sword energy, he killed the opponent on the spot, and even the inner elixir was taken away by Su Mu.

After killing the opponent, the light-trapping jade ruler also suffered a lot of injuries, but it relied on the characteristics of the spiritual treasure to break through the air and leave on its own.

I thought that the Light-trapped Jade Ruler flew back to the hands of the Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Demon Palace, but I didn't expect that it was actually captured and taken away.

"Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, after the Sixth Elder got the light-trapping jade ruler, how could he not notice that something unexpected happened to his direct descendant? With the other party's magical power, I am afraid that he has already found it on my head.

The reason why I have been able to practice peacefully for so many years is actually not because of my clever hiding methods. Part of the reason should be here. "

But Su Mu couldn't ask how the Cang family obtained this fourth-level spiritual treasure.

"I understand, that's how it is!"

At this moment, Su Mu finally understood what the Cang family's true purpose was.

The reason why they entrusted Assistant Su Mu with help was an excuse, but their real intention was to take possession of this light-trapping jade ruler.

"Oops, we might have gotten into big trouble!"

After understanding this, Su Mu broke into a cold sweat.

You must know that this light-trapping jade ruler is one of the three light-trapping treasures in the hands of the Sixth Elder. Its status in the Tianyao Palace is second only to a few sect-suppressing treasures.

Although the Sixth Elder's ranking in Tianyao Palace is not high, only ranking sixth, the opponent's strength is not weak at all.

The key is that this light-trapping jade ruler belongs to its owner, and it is not like the immortal rope in Su Mu's hand. Only Yuan Consciousness is resisting on its own.

Even so, Su Mu had no choice but to tie the Immortal Rope. He could only slowly wear down the will of Yuan Consciousness and exchange time for the opportunity to refine it.

Such a rough operation by Cang Qing and his two men was really shocking and made Su Mu dumbfounded.

No matter how wonderful their secret technique is, once they are noticed by the Sixth Elder of Tianyao Palace, they will definitely end up fighting to the death.

"No wonder the calamity in the two of them is more terrifying than the other. It turns out they have provoked such a powerful opponent."

Just when Su Mu was extremely shocked, Cang Qing realized that the last layer of stone flesh was about to be completely dissolved, and quickly opened the prepared fourth-level formation.

A translucent round cover instantly enveloped the entire cave, directly cutting off the connection between the inside and outside.
