Chapter 217 Master Shentu, Yuanying inheritance (4k first update)
More than forty years ago, when he went to Tao's house in Hanshan to discuss a way to smuggle across the country, he accidentally encountered Sun Yu and other monks from the Immortal Sect Law Enforcement Team fighting with a group of demon cultivators.
Afterwards, he took advantage of Sun Yu's escape, beat up the drowned dog, and went to Qingsong City to kill Sun Yu, his enemy. With his clear mind, he settled a cause and effect.
As for the group of demon cultivators, Wei Tu did not give up completely before leaving. He left a colorful phantom moth behind and ordered it to follow them closely.
This method is just for him to be prepared.
However, after killing Sun Yu, he was busy forming elixirs and was also wary of the strength of the group of demon cultivators. In addition, the colorful phantom moth was too far away from him and difficult to detect, so he gradually put this matter into perspective. , forgotten.
Unexpectedly, after more than forty years, he sensed this colorful phantom moth again.
“Is it possible that the purpose of that group of demon cultivators is this ancient cave?” Wei Tu touched his chin, feeling a little more vigilant.
That group of demonic cultivators, possessing golden elixir level treasures, are not ordinary foundation-building demonic cultivators. Even at his current level, he needs to be careful when dealing with this group of people.
There are few people in the Golden Core realm who have been killed by Foundation Establishment monks, but they are by no means non-existent.
"No, there is a formation arranged by Bao Siyan himself at the entrance of the underground palace. No one has opened it in two hundred years. How could the colorful phantom moth be in the underground palace?" Wei Tu suddenly thought of this and felt confused.
Given Bao Siyan's level, if someone really tampered with her formation, she would be able to detect it immediately.
“Could it be that this ancient cave has more than one entrance?”
Wei Tu made a guess.
While Wei Tu was thinking, Bao Siyan on the other side finally opened the entrance to the underground palace that was covered by the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, please come in with me. At the end of this underground palace is the place where the ancient cultivator's inheritance is." Bao Siyan looked excited, as if she was determined to get the treasures in the ancient cultivator's cave.
Hearing this, Wei Tu shook his head, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and followed Bao Siyan into the underground palace.
Now, he has arrived at the gate of Guxiu Cave. If he goes back on his word, Bao Siyan will definitely be the first to refuse, which may also delay his plan to leave Zheng through the secret passage.
In addition, since the group of demon cultivators did not notice the colorful phantom moth following behind them, this is enough to prove that there are no golden elixir realm demon cultivators in their team.
—The first-level colorful phantom moth is not enough to hide from the consciousness of the golden elixir realm.
Without the golden elixir demon cultivator, his safety is guaranteed. Even if he is outmatched, he can still retreat calmly.
Besides, it may be difficult for him to conquer all of this group of demonic cultivators by himself, but if he joins forces with Bao Siyan, even if this group of foundation-building demonic cultivators is extremely capable, it will be difficult for them to conquer the world.
The passage under the gray-yellow soil **** was a steep stone step. Wei Tu walked down the stone steps and walked for less than half a quarter of an hour before arriving at the interior of the underground palace.
The architecture of the underground palace has an ancient style. The stone pillars and door beams supporting the underground palace are carved with various patterns of rare birds and animals. The top of the passage is inlaid with a large number of "phantom stones" for lighting.
Along the way, Wei Tu used his magic power to test the walls of these underground palaces. After discovering that there were a large number of restrictions inside the walls that were difficult to break, he
Seeing this, Wei Tu also gave up the idea of using clever methods to bypass the checkpoints in the underground palace and use the ancient cultivator's inheritance.
“Fellow Daoist Bao, now that we have arrived at the Ancient Xiu Cave, it is time to give Wei another secret technique.”
Walking into the underground palace, Wei Tu stopped and looked at Bao Siyan in front of him.
According to the previous agreement, as long as he arrives at the Guxiu Cave Mansion with Bao Siyan, Bao Siyan should fulfill the agreement and hand over to him the last secret technique among the three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong".
"It's natural." When Bao Siyan heard this, she didn't hesitate much. After throwing a jade slip to Wei Tu, she walked forward and continued walking deeper into the underground palace.
Taking the jade slip, Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade slip and began to figure out the secret of this secret technique.
The three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong".
One, the green wood breath-containing technique; the second, the divine tree longevity technique; the third, the mayfly parasitism technique.
These three secret arts, the effects of the first two secret arts, are relatively common in the world of immortality. It's just that the secret technique of "Shenmu Yuan Gong" has corresponding uniqueness.
The last secret technique.
This is what Bao Siyan mentioned to Wei Tu back then...a useless secret technique that requires a fourth-level spiritual tree to cast a spell.
The "Flyfly Parasitism Technique" is an escape technique performed with the use of fourth-level spiritual trees.
—If a practitioner of "Shenmu Yuan Gong" has a fourth-level spirit tree, he can use the origin of the spirit tree to create a clone with the same aura as his own, and then escape calmly.
"Three major secret techniques, not even a single attack secret technique. Is this "Shenmu Yuan Gong" a health-preserving technique among the third-level techniques?"
Weitu secretly complained, guessing that there must be a secret attack technique in "Shenmu Yuan Gong".
It’s just that these secret attack techniques were most likely concealed by Bao Siyan.
After all, the reason why Bao Siyan invited him to explore the ancient cave was because he was not strong enough and easy to control. How could he help the enemy and improve his strength at this moment?
…
Go to the middle distance.
Wei Tu, who landed behind Bao Siyan, discovered that there were murals on the walls of the underground palace corridor.
Wei Tu slowed down and carefully studied the content revealed in the mural.
"These murals depict the life of a monk, from birth to loneliness. This underground palace should be the tomb of the ancient cultivator. He buried himself here." Following the corridor, Wei Tu finished reading the murals and felt a little more sad. The feeling of sadness.
The owner of this tomb was considered a prominent figure among casual cultivators during his lifetime. Before he reached Nascent Soul, he had a smooth journey.
But after breaking through the Nascent Soul, the potential of the tomb owner has been exhausted, and he has no choice but to watch his life span passing day by day, with nothing to do.
In the last hundred years of his life, the tomb owner simply built himself an underground palace to retreat to death, hoping to break through the realm and extend his life.
The mural ends here.
Wei Tu didn’t need to think too much, he also knew that the outcome of the tomb owner was failure, otherwise he and Bao Siyan would not be here today to “open the coffin and dig for treasures”.
However, in the murals, Wei Tu also verified his previous conjecture that the owner of the tomb was really a talisman cultivator.
“The Fu Xiu Cave in the Nascent Soul Realm.” Wei Tu thought of this and secretly looked forward to it.
After entering the Golden Core Realm, although his potential has not yet been exhausted, the opportunities within him obviously cannot support him from being significantly ahead of his peers in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
To be honest, although he has two great opportunities for the "Mending Heaven Bowl" and the "Ten Thousand Spirits Monster Infant" that are above the golden elixir level... Wei Tu tested the former after forming the elixir, and his golden elixir magic power entered After that, it was like a mud dragon entering the sea, unable to move at all.
The latter, the "fairy spirit dew" secreted by the demon infants of all spirits, although pure, has no effect on the golden elixir monks.
This made Wei Tu feel that he was a treasure-guarding boy. He had treasures but couldn't use them at all. He could only look at the world and sigh.
…
Fifteen of an hour later.
Wei Tu and Bao Siyan arrived at the door of a wide hall.
Unlike other areas of the underground palace, the walls of this hall are made of gold and silver, with formations engraved on them, making it look mysterious and unusual. In the center of the hall, a huge ice crystal rockery is placed. In front of the ice crystal rockery is a jade-colored stone tablet.
And near the jade stone tablet, there is a skeleton in tattered clothes.
"Mr. Chen." After Bao Siyan saw the skeleton, the excitement she felt before entering the underground palace disappeared, and she became more sad.
“My condolences to fellow Taoist Bao.”
Wei Tu comforted him.
Two hundred years have passed, and Bao Siyan has long since recovered from her sadness. Her expression soon returned to calm, and she introduced the secrets of this mysterious hall to Wei Tu.
"Previously, I saw fellow Taoist Wei looking at the murals in the corridor, and he was fascinated. I and my husband have been exploring this underground palace for so long, and we have made some general guesses."
“The owner of the tomb of this underground palace should be Master Shentu, a loose cultivator who traveled across the world of immortality in Jingguo more than 2,000 years ago. Master Shentu was also famous for his time and founded the Immortal Sect, the Fire Spirit Sect.”
"The hall of this underground palace is the checkpoint set by Master Shentu for the disciples of the Huo Jing Sect. Once you pass this level, you can enter Master Shentu's secret training room and obtain the inheritance."
Bao Siyan said slowly.
After saying these words, Bao Siyan thought for a moment, took out an ordinary magic sword from his arms, practiced it casually, and sent it to the hall.
I saw that the magic sword had just entered the hall. Countless gold and silver filaments swarmed out of the wall of the hall. With a casual blow, these gold and silver filaments completely shattered the magic sword and turned it into powder.
"But my wife and I never expected that Master Shentu was so ruthless and set up such dangers for his disciples. After my husband and I accidentally violated the prohibition, this hall became such a dangerous place. "Bao Siyan gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Hear this.
Wei Tu was stunned and speechless for a moment.
This inheritance in the underground palace is the legacy left to the Huo Jing Sect by Master Shen Tu, not to Bao Siyan and his wife.
It is immoral for Bao Siyan and his wife to come to the underground palace to "open coffins and dig for treasures". How could they have the dignity to blame Master Shentu for leaving too dangerous a barrier?
However, hitting someone is not a slap in the face.
Master Shentu has no relationship with Wei Tu, so Wei Tu has no need to offend Bao Siyan for this matter.
“Fellow Daoist Bao said that this level requires a third-level talisman master to break it. I don’t know how to break it?”
Wei Tu talked about business.
He observed here for a long time, but did not see any talisman checkpoints in the hall.
“Fellow Daoist Guard, don’t be anxious.” Bao Siyan recovered from her sadness. After she signaled Wei Tu to take a few steps back, she mobilized her magic power and fired several green energy into the white jade stele in the hall.
Under the stimulation of mana, the white jade stone tablet gradually changed, and lines of talismans appeared on the surface.
After a while, a complicated talisman appeared on the surface of the white jade stele.
“This white jade stele is the hub of the hall. As long as the talismans on the stele are drawn on the floor of the hall, this white jade stele will unlock the formations and restrictions in the hall..."
“It’s just that the difficulty of this level is that the talismans on the monument change with time. After one year, the monument will be replaced with another talisman.”
“So, if you want to unlock the formation in this hall and obtain the inheritance, you must bring a third-level Talisman Master with you.”
Bao Siyan glanced at Wei Tu and said slowly.
At this point, she hesitated for a moment and then added, "This white jade stone tablet should contain the talisman inheritance of Master Shentu. I am willing to give this treasure to fellow Taoist Wei."
“What you get after entering the training room will still be as agreed upon before.”
This time, Wei Tu was invited to enter the ancient cave to clear the barrier. She not only paid for the three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong", but also the inheritance and treasures in the "ancient cave".
The inheritance is in duplicate, there is nothing more to say. It was almost customary to invite monks to explore.
On the treasure.
As the "host", Bao Siyan has the right to be the first to pick a treasure, and the remaining treasures will be divided equally between the two.
Bao Siyan is also worried at this moment that Wei Tu will not be able to work hard.
After learning the location of the underground palace, he lied to her that it would be difficult to break through the barrier. Then he would come in alone in the future, secretly break through the barrier, and steal the treasure.
Therefore, transferring the benefits at this time can be regarded as an insurance for herself.
“Wei, let’s give it a try.” Wei Tu nodded and agreed.
He sat cross-legged on the spot, took out several defensive instruments from his storage bag, and after urging them, he turned his attention to the white jade stone tablet five steps away from him.
“He is a cautious person.” When Bao Siyan saw Wei Tu’s move, she raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself.
“However, how many monks did he kill when he was in the foundation realm, and he actually had so many defensive weapons on his body?”
Bao Siyan was surprised.
From what she saw, all of Wei Tu's defensive magic weapons were exquisite second-level magic weapons. These high-quality magic weapons are rare even for fake elixir masters, and Wei Tu actually has as many as seven of them.
Especially the "Yam Mo Banner" that forms the blood cocoon shield, this second-level top-quality magic weapon, Bao Siyan also felt hot after looking at it.
The third-level magic weapon is not as messy as the second-level magic weapon. Each one is valuable and precious. However, a golden elixir master like her in the early stage of the golden elixir should not waste financial resources to buy a third-level magic weapon. It is better to accumulate spiritual stones and create a "magic weapon".
Hence, the second-level top-quality magic weapon is usually the substitute thing in the hands of the True Lord Jindan before refining the magic weapon.
"This guard map is quite inconsistent with the image described in the intelligence. In the foundation-building realm, he is definitely a dangerous person. You will have to be more careful with him later."
Bao Siyan squinted her eyes.
Wei Tu on the side did not know what Bao Siyan was thinking. Even if he knew, he would deploy these defensive weapons without hesitation.
Compared with Bao Siyan's perception, his safety is more important.
“The difficulty of this talisman is probably around the second-level high-grade. But if you want to draw it within one year, you must have at least the talisman master’s attainments of the third-level talisman.”
After observing the talismans on the white jade stone tablet for a while, Wei Tu came to a conclusion.
He does not have the talisman master heritage of the Huo Jing Sect, so painting this talisman is no less than raising a tall building from the ground and painting in the air.
This is similar to when he drew the demon refining talisman.
The demon refining talisman is this kind of unsystematic talisman. Therefore, although the Demon Refining Talisman is only a first-order high-grade talisman, the difficulty of drawing it is comparable to that of a second-order low-grade talisman.
