Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

"According to the various ancient documents collected by Rong, the cave here is suspected to be left by an ancient cultivator of Yuanying, who is called 'Tianzhu Master'. It’s a recent practice, but its skills should bring some enlightenment to fellow Taoists.”

Only then did Lin Xiu understand why Ying Shuzhu suddenly changed his attitude towards the transaction of "Qingyuanshu", from a clear refusal at the beginning to hesitation, the original reason is here.

Just like Yan Hanhai's "Red Flame Burning Jue", if he could get access to higher-level exercises, then the original version of "Qing Yuan Shu" would naturally not be so important.No matter how bad it is, as long as the essence of another skill is integrated, the original defects of "Qingyuanshu" will be changed or even made up for. In this way, there is no need to worry about "Qingyuanshu" being targeted after it spreads .

Of course, the premise is that this trip to the ancient cave repair can get things safely and leave.

It was also at this time that Ying Shuzhu whispered to Lin Xiu: "If this trip goes well, I will naturally not begrudge the concubine of "Qing Yuan Shu" that Daoist Lin asked for before."

Caressing the beard, Rong Gan cast his gaze over: "Fellow Daoist Lin has been invited like this, what is the next step, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

There is a demand for "five-color divine mud" in the front, and "Qing Yuan Shu" as a subsidy in the back, and there is also a certain degree of curiosity about Lin Xiu, the ancient Xiu cave mansion, so naturally he will not refuse.

Thinking that the four Jindan-level combat forces here are dispatched together, not to attack the mountain gate of Qianlifu, but only on the edge of the boundary of Qianlifu, is it possible that they will be eaten?

Thinking of Lin Xiu's immediate nod in response, Rong Gan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately made an appointment to meet up with Yan Hanhai at Xiongxin Mountain in three days—this time there was no need to hide it, and then set off together.

……

After returning to Qunyu Mountain, Keqing and the others were still busy practicing the newly acquired exercises, Lin Xiu didn't bother, but packed up his things.

Considering that this trip to Kuntong Mountain will either lead to nothing, or if something really happens, at least it will be the beginning of the conflict of Jindan Daoist series, so there is no need to prepare some basic things.

Immediately, Yujian went directly to the No. 27 Spirit Mine at the foot of the mountain and took out nine of the flying swords. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and took another nine. Including the nine that Lin Xiu carried in his Qiankun bag, there were 1 flying swords in total. "Thunderbolt-[-]".

Moreover, the aura stored inside these "Thunderbolt-1" is undoubtedly much stronger than when it was in Tianheng Mountain. If the "Thunderbolt-1" that used to hide the sword in Tianheng Mountain cost [-] spirit stones, then these few It is said that it has started with [-] pieces, and the evidence is that compared with when it was first opened six years ago, the surrounding area can obviously feel the thin concentration of aura.

After taking eighteen "Thunderbolt-1" from this spirit mine, Lin Xiu took out eighteen flying swords and replaced them with "Hidden Swords". A feeling of being out of breath.

"Huh... calm down, these are all necessary military expenses and cannot be saved."

Reassuring himself that "tomorrow will be better", Lin Xiu left the Lingmine after he calmed down, and prepared some things needed for the trip. Three days later, he took the monster inner alchemy to cover up his breath and flew to Xiongxin Mountain with Yan Hanhai and Rong Qian. After meeting with Yingshuzhu, they took Yan Hanhai's flying boat and drove directly to Kuntong Mountain.

198. “Archaeology” featured in the Immortal Cultivation World

Starting from Xiongxin Mountain, even with the shortest distance in a straight line, there are more than [-] miles away from the target Kuntong Mountain, and Yan Hanhai's flying boat will not be able to reach it in an hour and a half. Taking advantage of this time, Ronggan and Lin Xiu can also be simple Introduced the situation of Qianlifu.

As the last of the "Four Sects", Qianli Mansion is actually inferior to the Chixin League in terms of strength except for the Qianli Mansion Master who is in the realm of a fake baby. The reason is that there is a gap in the strength of Qianli Mansion.

"In addition to that Qianli Sheng, there are four real people in Qianli Mansion, including two in the middle stage of Golden Core, two in the early stage of Golden Core, and there was originally a Qianli Ling in the late stage of Golden Core, but it was a pity that there was no news during a trip. "

In a place like Su Xuanling, everyone knows what losing contact means. Although it is rare for a powerful monk in the late Jindan stage to encounter this kind of thing, it is not uncommon.

Among other things, more than a hundred years ago in Suxuan Ling, there was even a situation where fake baby monks went out to relax and then lost contact. At one time, the people of the sects were panicked, worried that one day they would be "relaxed" when they went out for a walk. "Death", the situation gradually calmed down after decades without the appearance of a second "Scattered Heart Death".

In fact, at that time, the sect that the fake baby monk belonged to had suspected that it was the Nascent Soul of the three sects Nathan Luozong who made the move. Strong monks are like this, even if they have more evidence, what's the use?On the contrary, it would lead to a murderous disaster, so this matter gradually subsided.

In this Suxuan collar where strength is closely related to power, it is not a good thing that there is a gap in strength. With the death of Qianli Ling, a late Jindan monk who was expected to be a fake baby, Qianli Mansion was forced to reduce its sphere of influence. It was abandoned by Qianli Mansion at this time, but it just happened to be bordered by a mortal town belonging to Qianli Mansion, so Rong Qian and others found it difficult.

After all, this kind of thing can be big or small. If it is small, it is an action that has nothing to do with Qianli Mansion. If it is too big, it can be understood as someone peeping at the weakness of Qianli Mansion and intends to take advantage of it.

"That's why Rong found Fellow Daoist Yan, Fellow Daoist Ying and Fellow Daoist Lin as his assistants, so that even if the worst happens, there will be a chance to mediate."

Qianli Shengshou Yuan doesn't have much money, and unless it is absolutely necessary, he will basically sit in Qianli Mansion and will not make a move. Based on this premise, the worst situation is that Qianli Mansion directly dispatches the remaining four golden cores, and one-on-one when the time comes—although There is a mid-term golden core missing, but if it is just a retreat, it will not be a problem.

Speaking of Rong Gan, he sighed again: "If Rong hadn't spent hundreds of years to find out the cave here, and spent a lot of spiritual stones during the process, he would not have taken such a risk to take such a move."

Yan Hanhai, who was standing at the front of the flying boat, said with a light smile, "You don't have to worry, Fellow Daoist Rong. After all, the chance of conflict with Qianli Mansion is not high. Maybe the people of Qianli Mansion won't notice it after I finish exploring that cave. until this happened.”

Rong Qian lowered his head slightly: "I hope so."

Probably feeling that the atmosphere was a bit pessimistic, which was not conducive to future actions, Ying Shuzhu also opened his mouth to join in, and shifted the topic to Guxiu Dongfu in a few words.

Lin Xiu is also interested in this aspect. After all, from various sources, although ancient cultivation techniques do not match those of recent cultivation, many things in recent cultivation are inextricably related to ancient cultivation. Groups that have been lost in the dust of history are interested.

Strictly speaking, there is a threshold for contacting the group of "ancient monks". At least it is the beginning of Jindan. There are many reasons for this situation.

Among them, there are not enough monks who practice qi and build a foundation, even if they find an ancient cave, they are unable to explore it. After all, any ancient cave that can be maintained and has not yet collapsed must at least be developed by Jindan ancient cultivators, Qi training and foundation building. The cave has long been eroded and destroyed by time, and with the mana of the foundation-builder cultivator, even if he finds a cave of the Golden Core Ancient Cultivator, it is difficult to enter it easily.

Part of the reason is that only after reaching the Golden Core realm can the monks have enough lifespan to invest in this "promising" industry, just like Rong Gan, who spent hundreds of years in order to find out an ancient cave. , This has not counted the invested spirit stone resources, how could it be possible for a foundation cultivator with a lifespan of less than two hundred to easily devote half of his life to such an event with unknown harvest, without earning spirit stones to practice?

Of course, the biggest reason is that even if the cultivator who cultivates Qi and builds a foundation acquires Gu Xiu's objects/practices, it is difficult to use them effectively.

The combination of many reasons made Lin Xiu only know that there is an "archaeology" that explores the ancient Xiudong mansion, which is unique to the world of cultivating immortals, but he has not had the opportunity to get in touch. After all, for monks in the realm of Qi training and foundation building , there is a serious lack of effective channels to understand these things, this time Lin Xiu also took a ride with Rong Gan to make this trip.

"Not only that, but it is very difficult to find the location of Guxiu Cave Mansion in Suxuanling. Do fellow Daoist Lin know the reason?"

Facing Rong Gan who had an angry look on his face for some reason, Lin Xiu hesitated and said, "Because of the place name?"

"That's right, that's it!"

As he said that, the real Rong, who always treats people with a kind face, scolded in front of Lin Xiu for the first time: "I don't know which thief made such a precedent, but actually falsified the name of the place at will. The land boundary needs to be renamed again. At first it was Kunlong Mountain, then it became Kunlong Mountain, and then it was changed to Kunmeng Mountain... Rong searched through thousands of ancient books before finding the existence of Kuntong Mountain along with these messy names. , is simply not a son of man!"

Ah this...

Thinking of the current "Tianheng Mountain", Lin Xiu humbly turned his gaze away.

At this time, Ying Shuzhu, who was beside Lin Xiu, comforted him: "I have heard about this matter a little bit, it is said that it was a Venerable Master who was worried that the tomb would be excavated after his death, so he tried every means to bury himself. Since then, monks who have such concerns have followed suit, and it has gradually become the tradition of Su Xuanling."

Hearing these words, no matter how angry Rong Gan is, he can only shut up honestly: Thinking about it in another way, in an environment where "archaeology" like Su Xuanling is prevalent, whoever can guarantee that the tombs in Dongfu after death are not bad? Will it be regarded as a "chance" and given to "Adventure"?

At this time, the messy place names can confuse the audience, at least they won't be dug out for "archaeology" just after being buried in the ground.

During the conversation, the flying boat below slowly slowed down, and with Yan Hanhai's greeting, the four of them had already arrived at the destination of the trip: Mount Kuntong.

199. Spirit Gathering Formation and Hidden Sword Technique

Mount Kuntong is located on the edge of the Zongmin Mountain Range. It is a mountain that can be seen everywhere. It is about [-] feet high. There are no spiritual veins on the mountain or near the ground. It looks inconspicuous here. If it is not Not far away, there is a main road connecting the inside and outside of the mountain range. Relying on the main road, there is another mortal town built here. It is estimated that it will only be a sparsely populated area.

After putting away the flying boat early to avoid commotion, a group of four people each drove the magic weapon/flying sword and landed on Kuntong Mountain. The same gossip, books with some weird writings on them, etc. Yan Hanhai was not surprised when he saw this scene, and explained to Lin Xiu: "Fellow Taoist Rong likes to explore ancient caves, and use the methods of fellow Taoist Rong There is nothing wrong with this trip, I will go around and be careful."

Lin Xiu nodded in agreement, and immediately separated from Ying Shuzhu and Yan Hanhai, and spread out to the perimeter of Kuntong Mountain alone, to guard against any monks approaching and intruding.

In this way, half an hour passed by in a flash, and of course there was no abnormal situation. After all, there would be no monks who deliberately ran over to this kind of boundary.

Lin Xiu, who had nothing to do at leisure, also observed Kuntong Mountain with his spiritual sense, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything at all.

"It seems that no matter in that world, 'archaeology' is a very professional subject."

Secretly feeling emotional, at this time Lin Xiu noticed the fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the position halfway up the mountain, Yu Jian immediately approached, Yan Hanhai and Ying Shuzhu had arrived ahead of time, just before they had landed and hadn't come to say hello, they heard Rong Gan Can't hide the excited tone: "This is the place, where the cave of Zhushangren is!"

Following Rong Gan's excited gaze, what Lin Xiu saw was a sparse and ordinary bamboo forest... Wait, bamboo forest?

"This bamboo forest...hasn't Mr. Yan discovered it before?"

Yan Hanhai was surprised, not only him, Ying Shuzhu was also surprised and said: "Just now, I have observed the top and bottom of Kuntong with my spiritual consciousness, and I have never found that there is a bamboo forest here."

Hearing what the two said, Lin Xiu was a little bit sure. It seemed that he was not the only one who missed this bamboo forest, but since this bamboo forest could easily hide the consciousness of a few golden cores, there must be something wrong.

Unexpectedly, Rong Gan put away the objects in his hands, and said in a hurried tone: "The ancient cultivation method is different from the near-term method. It is good at mobilizing the spiritual energy from the outside world for its own use. It seems that there is no spiritual energy in Kuntong Mountain, but in fact there is no spiritual energy in it. But buried this superior spirit vein. It's just that this spirit vein was covered up by Master Tianzhu with formations, so no one can detect it."

Lin Xiu didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Yan Hanhai suddenly asked, "It's so effective, but what about the legendary 'Spirit Gathering Formation'?"

Rong Gan shook his head: "The largest scale of this kind is the 'Spirit Gathering Formation', and it is far from being called a 'Spirit Gathering Formation'."

Hearing that Yan Hanhai couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, Ying Shuzhu who was on the side noticed Lin Xiu's puzzled expression and said softly: "The Gathering Formation is a formation method mastered by ancient monks, and its function is similar to' "Spirit Locking Formation", but it can condense the surrounding spiritual energy and gather it in one place, forming an effect similar to "Cave Heaven and Paradise", which is undoubtedly of great benefit to monks' cultivation."

"However, this formation is harmful to the peace of heaven. It is rumored that the decline of the ancient monks is also related to the spread and abuse of this formation. Slowly, it was banned by the ancient cultivator, and the relevant records of the formation were also destroyed. .”

"Now, if you want to comprehend the layout of this 'Soul Gathering Formation', you can only look for the rumored 'Great Spirit Gathering Formation'."

Only then did Lin Xiu understand that the logic of this matter is not difficult to understand, but ordinary people cannot easily know the inside story.

Unlike recent cultivators who focus on the transfer of mana in the body, ancient monks are better at using external spiritual energy for their own use. The "Spirit Gathering Array" is one of the representatives. Through the "Spirit Gathering Array" to gather spiritual energy and then practice, its efficiency is not as good as Soaking in the pile of spiritual stones is not far behind, and the progress is naturally rapid.

But in this way, a problem arises: the consumption of spiritual energy is too exaggerated.

It's like a piece of fertile land, everyone can cultivate it, but some people choose to use the farming method of exhausting the marshes, draining the fertility of the entire land into barren wasteland and fleeing. What will the people behind do?

The decline of the ancient cultivators was caused by the excessive use of aura. Different from the recent cultivators who pay attention to the transfer of mana in the body, for the ancient cultivators who are good at using external aura for their own use, when the external aura is below a certain threshold, their cultivation The power of various exercises will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and even the original state may not be able to maintain.

Although some ancient monks realized the harm of the spirit-gathering formation and began to ban it intentionally, but the situation is gone, and they can only watch helplessly that the spiritual veins that were originally overflowing with spiritual energy gradually dried up, and many spiritual materials disappeared as a result, and many inheritances were cut off. Over time, the ancient cultivation naturally declined, replaced by the recent cultivation and the rise of recent methods.

It is also cultivation, although the near method is also to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world and turn it into one's own use, but the consumption and loss of spiritual energy is far less severe than that of the ancient monks, and the demand for the external environment is not too serious.

Even so, those who practice the near method cannot stay in the realm without aura for a long time. It is fine for a short period of time. After a long time, the mana/spiritual power in the body cannot be maintained and the realm will fluctuate and even decline.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally even more impossible for the "Spirit Gathering Formation" to spread, which is why Yan Hanhai asked this question.

When his thoughts diverged slightly, Lin Xiu suddenly noticed something.

"...Ying Zhenren, if a gathering spirit array is arranged on a spiritual vein, how long will it take to use up all the spiritual energy?"

Although I don't understand why Lin Xiu asked this, but it's not a secret, Ying Shuzhu explained carefully out of friendship: "If it is a gathering spirit formation, the shortest is 50 years, and the longest is a hundred years. The aura will be used up."

Speaking of this, Ying Shuzhu paused, and added: "If it is the rumored 'Large Spirit Gathering Formation', it is even possible that a spiritual vein will be exhausted in just a few decades."

That's right, the way Lin Xiu has been using the "hidden sword" to make the "Thunderbolt-1" is similar to the "Spirit Gathering Formation", and even the degree of squeezing the spiritual energy is a bit higher After all, the object of the ancient monk's "gathering spirit" is himself, and the limit of aura that the body can hold must also be considered. If you use various swords instead, you don't need to consider this problem at all. Fill in how much aura.

200. Bamboo Forest, Bamboo Building, Bamboo Table, Bamboo Slips 110k Recommended

For the sake of "hiding the sword", Lin Xiu has already drained two spiritual mines, but no one paid attention to this matter before. Whether it is the spiritual mine in Xufenggu or the spiritual mine in Tianheng Mountain, they have been mined more than half of it. Exhausted is a normal state.

But Qunyu Mountain is different. When Lin Xiu first settled in, there were actually three spiritual mines and one spiritual vein. If they were used up and exhausted in such a short time, any normal person would be able to see the abnormality.

Just when Lin Xiu's scalp was numb and he was thinking about how to cover up the past, Rong Gan in front of him moved again.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, just send a blow here. This formation has been useless for many years, and it only needs a light blow to destroy it."

Stroking his beard lightly, Rong Gan stepped aside to watch Yan Hanhai walk to the front, concentrating his mana to strike, and at the same time said to Lin Xiu and Ying Shuzhu: "With the power of Fellow Daoist Yan's "Red Flame Burning Jue", This level of ancient cultivation formations can be easily destroyed. Later, Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Ying just need to pay attention to shielding the scattered spiritual energy. Although most of the things in the cave are destroyed due to years of wear and tear, there are still one or two— —”

Before the words fell, as the scorching light in Yan Hanhai's hand fell to the ground, after a burst of violent vibrations, the entire Kuntong Mountain was cracked little by little under the astonished eyes of several people-this is not an exaggeration, Rather, it literally "splits" in the middle.

Subconsciously turned his gaze to Yan Hanhai, who quickly explained: "Yan did not use his full strength!"

That’s right, with Yan Hanhai’s mid-term Golden Core cultivation base, even if he uses all his strength, he will collapse a small half of the mountain. It is far from enough to make the [-]-foot-high Kuntong Mountain collapse in situ. In other words...

"That cave is located at the bottom of Kuntong Mountain. This Kuntong Mountain was formed later. If the cave is to be opened, there must be some movement—"

As expected of a senior "archaeologist", Rong Gan quickly clarified the situation and explained, while driving the magic weapon and hurriedly dropped it along the gap: "The three fellow Taoists act quickly, such movements will definitely attract people from the Qianli Mansion! "

As he said that, he rushed down first, followed closely by Yan Hanhai and Ying Shuzhu, but Lin Xiu didn't follow up directly with his sword, but went around to one side and smashed the rolling large rock with his flying sword. After confirming that a large-scale landslide would not affect the town not far away, Yujian approached the crack.

Yujian entered along the crack of the mountain, and unexpectedly found that this cave is far from being as small as it looks on the outside. At least the distance of Lin Xiu Yujian has exceeded the boundary of Kuntong Mountain, but the edge is still invisible.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. With a faint light coming from a distance, when Lin Xiu pressed down the sword light, he came to a quiet and vast land.

"Is this the Guxiu Cave Mansion?"

Looking around, I saw that this cave was formed with a huge cave as the base. It covers an area of ​​not to mention a hundred acres, but seventy or eighty acres is indispensable. In addition to the height of nearly a hundred feet, the lush bamboo forest, There are also ancient buildings with unknown uses, which are more like a paradise isolated from the world than the ancient caves that give people a sense of darkness.

Considering that people from Qianli Mansion will come at any time, there is no time to slowly explore this ancient cave mansion in an emergency. Under Rong Qian's arrangement, the four people explored in different directions. The bag was handed over to Lin Xiu, and he told him to take back whatever he saw as long as it could be moved.
