The Wonderful Way

Chapter 53 Miasma Cave
It has been [-] days since they set off from the Zongmen, and the two of them will not delay any longer. They set off from Zhusi City early the next morning and arrived in Wuzhao City by a small flying boat.

The appointment with Shen Xingzhou was in an inn in the west of Wuzhao City. After the two arrived at the inn, Shen Xingzhou hadn't arrived yet.

After the two ate something casually, they wandered around Wuzhao City.

There are more sword cultivators in Wuzhao City than in Zhusi City, and the swords on their backs are also various in style, and there are much more foundation-building monks in the city than in Zhusi City.

Stayed at the inn for one night, and early in the morning of the second day, Chu Miao and the two met Shen Xingzhou who rushed over.

Shen Xingzhou still had a neat appearance, wearing a simple cyan skirt, and the long sword behind her made her look even more heroic.

When they met again, there was no estrangement between the three of them. Some people are like this. Even if they only met once, they knew they would be destined friends.

The three were talking and laughing in the inn room, as if they had never been separated for so long.

After a while, when Chu Miao asked about the ancient sites, Shen Xingzhou said, "There are a lot of people here, let's go out of the city first."

Chu Miao and Gu Nianning were not familiar with this place, so they let Shen Xingzhou lead them out from a city gate with few people.

The three of them walked for several miles before stopping. After Chu Miao set up a sound-proof concealment formation, Shen Xingzhou talked about the news of the ancient site.

"I came here a few days ago to look for a sword-casting material that I needed to build a foundation. After I found it, I didn't want to go back to the sect so soon, so I went to the Misty Mountain to hunt animals and practice sword skills.

This Misty Mountain is a famous dangerous place here, not because of monsters, but because at night, there will be a kind of miasma, which can make monks dizzy unconsciously. "

Speaking of this, Shen Xingzhou was a little embarrassed, "You also know that our sword cultivators often go out with a single sword, and the most important medicines are to restore the spirit to heal the wounds.

It was also the first time for me to run so far alone, and I went in without taking the miasma pill. I still felt something was wrong at night, so I looked around for a cave to live in.

Unexpectedly, turning left and right, I found a cave, and it was obviously dug by man, with traces so long ago that I couldn't tell the age at all.

I found a person-high hole in the innermost part of the cave, so I probed in. The passage went straight down, and after walking for half a minute, I arrived at a hollow in the mountain.

The entire hole was man-made, and four pillars were built around it, with lighting beads bigger than a fist placed on it.

On the stone wall in the middle of the cave, there is clearly a formation. I can feel that the formation has no attack power, and it should be around the second-order formation.

But I really don't know the formation, and I can't break it hard, and I don't dare to enter the formation without preparation.

I thought that A Miao had already perfected her qi training and should come out to practice, so I sent you a letter so that we could go in and explore together. "

After listening to it, both Chu Miao and Gu Nianning were very interested in this place, a historic site that no one had discovered, and they felt excited just thinking about it.

"But don't we have to buy the Miasma Pill to go into the mountains? We didn't prepare it when we left the city." Chu Miao suddenly thought, "Go back and buy it now, and set off tomorrow?"

Shen Xingzhou took out three bottles of pills from the storage bag, "I prepared them when I became a sect, and we can go directly to the mountain now."

After speaking, he handed the elixir to Chu Miao and Gu Nianning respectively. After taking it, the three of them felt refreshed, as if they were protected by something cool and refreshing.
Sensing the effect of the elixir, Shen Xingzhou walked ahead and led the way, with Chu Miao behind, and the three of them lined up in a row and entered the Misty Mountain.

Mizhang Mountain is not just one mountain, but a continuous, undulating mountain forest.

In the afternoon, there is no danger at night, and there is no danger at night. Like all ordinary mountains and forests, there is plenty of water and wood aura, which makes people feel refreshed.

The three of them encountered many low-level monsters along the way, all of them were early or mid-level ones, and they were easily dealt with by Shen Xingzhou, who was walking ahead.

Some edible ones were put away by Chu Miao and Gu Nianning, who could not be burned with a fireball technique, lest the bloody smell would attract more monsters.

When the sun was about to set, it was still far away from the mountain where the target cave was located, so the three had to find a cave to rest on the nearest mountain.

After finding it, Chu Miao threw two Tier [-] Raging Fire Talismans, burned the remaining miasma and filth in the cave, and used the dust removal technique to clean it before entering the cave.

After Chu Miao set up the next-level combination formation at the entrance of the cave, she was still worried, and placed the second-level isolation formation she bought.

Gu Nianning put out the small table and stool in the storage bag, and even took out three soft cushions woven with pure heart grass, which made Shen Xingzhou speechless for a while.
"Looking at it this way, I am simply a rough person."

Shen Xingzhou said while playing with the teacups on the table, "You guys even brought the mattress. Apart from a few bottles of pills and spirit stones, all I have is this sword."

Gu Nianning laughed, "You and A Miao are almost the same, she doesn't care about any other enjoyment except delicious food."

After hearing this, Chu Miao silently took out the animal meat from the storage bag, washed it and brushed it with a layer of her own spiritual honey, lit a fire and roasted the meat at the entrance of the cave.

Soon the fragrance spread in all directions in the cave, attracting Gu Nianning and Shen Xingzhou, who was more stable than Chu Miao, to the entrance of the cave.

The three of them ate and chatted in the cave, and did not meditate until the middle of the month, refining the aura in the animal meat.

Because of the layers of formations laid down, the three of them were extremely relieved, and each of them occupied a cushion and had a good night's sleep in the cave.

Early the next morning, the three of them got up, wiped away the traces in the cave, put away the formation and rushed towards the destination.

Along the way, the level of monsters encountered is also higher, but at most it is only the late stage of the first level, and I have not even encountered a perfect first level.

The three of them made a move together, with the glint of the sword and the golden light of the Buddha beads, but the monster was dealt with in a flash.

The three of them didn't meet other monks along the way. Although there are many monsters in Misty Mountain, but because it is so big, the monks are scattered all over the place, so it is difficult to meet them.

After walking for half a day, we finally arrived at the peak where the cave is near dusk.

A mountain peak soars straight into the sky, the top of the mountain cannot be seen, and there are two lower peaks next to it.

The cave is on the leftmost small peak, not far from the foot of the mountain, not even halfway up the mountain, a very inconspicuous small cave.

Before Shen Xingzhou left last time, he just pulled up the entrance of the cave to cover up the vines, so the entrance of the cave could not be seen with the naked eye.

Pulling the vines is because she doesn't know how to set up formations, and laying down a low-level formation will attract people's attention easily, so it's better to be natural.

The three scattered around, checked the surroundings, and entered the cave after finding no trace of the monk.

Chu Miao set up a trapping maze and a warning formation in the cave, and then followed the two towards the entrance of the cave.

The passage is indeed as Shen Xingzhou said, it looks like it was dug by man, and the traces are so long that it is impossible to tell when it was dug out.

The monk's eyes didn't have much effect in the dark, not to mention that there were scattered lighting stones scattered around the passage, which made it easier for several people to see clearly.

The road in the passage was cut very flat, extending straight down, and it was a not too steep downhill.

After the three of them walked for a while, they came to the hollow in the mountain that Shen Xingzhou had mentioned.

As soon as she entered the cave, Chu Miao felt a bright light in front of her eyes. Four stone pillars stood in the four directions of the cave.

The bottom of the stone pillar is thick and the top is thin, and the top is slightly sunken. There are four polished and smooth lighting stones that are bigger than a fist.

As long as the lighting stone has aura, it can always shine, even if it is left for 10 years, it will not dim.

However, the production of lighting stones is relatively large, and they are not worth much. Every monk will put a few in their storage bags, but they are basically the size of pebbles, and the three of them have never seen a lighting stone that is bigger than a fist.

After Chu Miao turned the hole around, she went straight to the middle stone wall and began to study the upper formation.
