Chapter 332 Searching the Mountain

Mo Hua gradually figured it out.

Why was it that when the Black Mountain Stronghold was breached, the alchemy furnace was broken, but the pig disappeared, and there was no large pool of blood on the ground? This meant that the pig had been moved away in advance and never appeared again.

The evil cultivators in Heishan Village fought hard and were caught, but they couldn't escape. Only this pig was missing.

This shows that this pig is very important, even more important than Black Village and all evil cultivators.

But everyone, including Mo Hua, ignored this.

Why do evil cultivators feed people to that pig? Because that pig is the real alchemy furnace used to make elixirs.

Feeding people to pigs is equivalent to using people as medicinal materials and throwing them into the alchemy furnace.

Heishanzhai has been feeding pigs with people, which shows that the elixir is still being refined.

In other words, the Longevity Huayuan Dan has been being refined since a long time ago, and it is even possible that it has been refined.

After all, no one knows how long Heishan Village has been feeding people to pigs.

If it had been fed for hundreds of years, then this life-changing element might have been completed!

A chill surged into my heart, and the expression in the ink painting changed uncertainly.

Bai Zixi saw this and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Mo Hua came back to his senses and said quickly: "I remembered something, something very important!"

After saying that, he ran down the mountain.

"Aren't you going to fight?" Bai Zisheng asked regretfully from behind him.

Mo Hua waved, "Let's talk about it later..."

Mo Hua used Water Step and disappeared after a while. Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were left looking at each other, wondering what happened.

Mo Hua found Commander Yang and found that Zhang Lan happened to be there, so he said: "Pig!"

Zhang Lan and the other two were stunned, "Aren't you scolding us..."

Mo Hua panted, shook his head, and said intermittently:

"That pig...is...the alchemy furnace!"

Zhang Lan and Commander Yang were both startled. They thought about it for a moment, and then their expressions changed drastically!

"What did you say?!"

Mo Hua took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone:

"Flesh and blood are the medium of the formation, the blood marks are the formation patterns, the demon elixir is the eye of the formation, and the bones form the center of the formation..."

"So that pig is the elixir furnace for refining the longevity elixir! And it may have been refining it for more than a hundred years.

Commander Yang's pupils trembled and he glanced at Zhang Lan, "Doesn't that mean..."

Zhang Lan lost his voice and said: "This elixir... is almost ready?!"

Commander Yang's face darkened, and he immediately called a Taoist soldier and ordered sternly:

"Hurry and ask Elder Yu, Headmaster Zhou, and Patriarch An to come over quickly and discuss urgent matters!"

The soldier took the order and set off quickly. In less than half an hour, everyone gathered together.

Commander Yang repeated Mo Hua's words. Everyone's expressions changed and they were shocked.

"Where is the ancestor of the Qian family now?"

"In the Great Black Mountains."

"Daheishan is too big..."

"It's probably deep in the mountains."

"what to do?"

Elder Yu frowned and said coldly:

"Look! We must find the ancestor of the Qian family, otherwise we won't be able to control him once he takes the elixir and advances to the late stage of foundation building."

Within the second-level state boundary, in the late stage of foundation building, it is already the ceiling of cultivation. You can come and go freely within this state boundary, and no one can do anything to him.

If you try to kill him again, you will definitely pay an extremely heavy price!

And if he is not killed, the entire Tongxian City will face huge danger!

Commander Yang nodded, "Then gather all the Dao soldiers and search the mountains thoroughly!"

"Dao soldiers alone cannot do it." Chief Zhou shook his head, "Dao Tingsi, demon hunters, and monks from all families in Tongxian City must search. Every plant, tree, soil, and stone must not be spared." "

"This matter is related to the safety of the entire Tongxian City, and everyone must work together!"

Everyone nodded.

Boss Zhou turned his head again and said to Mo Hua: "I need your help in this matter."

"Okay!" Mo Hua agreed.

After everyone discussed it, they mobilized their manpower after returning, and the next day they entered the deep mountains of Dahei Mountain and began to search the mountain thoroughly.

The Dao Bing Division, Dao Ting Division, demon hunters, and monks from various families and sects were all dispatched.

The densely packed monks started from the outer edge of the mountain and pushed into the depths little by little, not sparing every corner.

At the same time, under the arrangement of Mo Hua, they pulled out the fog formations in the mountains one by one. At the same time, they inserted the stone needles made by Mo Hua with the Sinan Formation into every corner of the mountains to monitor the disturbances in the mountains.

Ink painting also began to draw maps of the mountains.

He wanted to draw every peak, every stone, every plant and every tree in the mountains on the map.

He had done these things in the outer mountains, he had done them in the inner mountains, and now he had done them again in the deep mountains.

The deep mountain was once a taboo in the entire Black Mountains, a ferocious abyss that made all monks fearful.

Most of people's fears come from the unknown.

As long as all the secrets hidden in the mountains are discovered and the haze in the mountains is dispelled, there will be nothing to be afraid of in the mountains that once made the monks change their minds.

The process of searching the mountain is advancing bit by bit.

The map of the deep mountains is also being perfected bit by bit.

But there are still a few blank places on the map. These are the habitats or lairs of second-grade monsters.

With so many monks searching the mountain, ordinary first-level monsters have long since fled.

But the second-grade monsters are different. They have strong blood and strong monster power. They are not something that monks in the Qi Refining Stage can mess with.

Even if everyone gathered their strength to kill one or two second-grade monsters, the damage would be quite heavy.

What's more, the most urgent task is to search for the whereabouts of the Qian family's ancestor. We can't waste time and get entangled with these monsters.

Therefore, when everyone searched the mountain, they could only avoid these second-grade monsters.

It took nearly seven days, and everyone worked together to search the deep mountains, but still did not find the figure of the Qian family's ancestor.

"Will the Qian family's ancestor not be in the deep mountains?" Commander Yang asked in confusion.

Elder Yu shook his head and said, "Impossible, if he went to other immortal cities, he would have been discovered long ago. The Dahei Mountain is hidden and is the most suitable place for him to hide. What's more, he has to bring a pig and refine the elixir..."

"Then there is only one possibility..."

Commander Yang looked at the blank space on the map.

The blank space on the map is the place that was not found in the mountain search, that is... the nest of the second-grade monster!

Everyone's expression became solemn.

The second-grade monster is powerful, and its nest is even more deep and dangerous.

Monsters of the same realm are much stronger than cultivators.

Even if Commander Yang, who is in the foundation-building stage, enters the nest with his Taoist soldiers, there will probably be many casualties if he angers the second-grade monster.

"How could the ancestor of the Qian family come up with this idea?" said Chief Zhou with a frown.

Elder Yu sighed, "Before the ancestor of the Qian family made his fortune, he was also a monster hunter."

So he used the monster's nest, let the elder elder fake his death, and used the monster as a pill furnace to refine pills. All these things have some of the monster hunter's style.

Chief Zhou said regretfully: "The ancestor of the Qian family is indeed very clever, but it's a pity that he didn't use it in the right way."

"Does the third boss have any clues?" asked Elder Yu.

"He kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything." Commander Yang said.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Lan frowned, "Should we search the nest of the second-grade monster?"

If we search, the losses will be heavy, and we may have to sacrifice many lives.

But if we don't search, once the Qian family's ancestor refines the life-changing Yuan Dan, more monks will die at his hands.

No matter which choice we make, it's a dilemma.

Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "How about I go and take a look."

Everyone was slightly startled, and Commander Yang asked, "What are you going to see?"

"I'm going to see the formation."

"Formation?" Commander Yang was a little confused.

Mo Hua nodded and explained:

"The Qian family ancestor relied on formations to do things. Whether it was building the Black Mountain Village or using cultivators to make pills, there were shadows of formations everywhere."

"If he was hiding in the monster's lair in the deep mountains, he would definitely set up some formations around it, either for hiding, for early warning, or for defense."

"I can see the trajectory of the formation."

"If there are traces of formations in the lair of a second-grade monster, it means that a cultivator must have entered. And the person who can enter the lair of a second-grade monster in the deep mountains is most likely the ancestor of the Qian family!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and agreed:

"You can try!"

Elder Yu said: "I'll go with you."

He was a little worried about Mo Hua, and didn't want Mo Hua to take risks.

Commander Yang shook his head, "We'll all go together to build our foundation."

Although Mo Hua is good at hiding and acting smartly, it doesn't mean that he won't encounter danger.

When searching for the lair of a second-grade monster, the dangers encountered were either a second-grade monster or facing the ancestor of the Qian family.

Commander Yang was still thinking about letting Mo Hua join his Yang family, so Mo Hua would be his "predestined" one, so he was even more unwilling to let him get hurt.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

So a group of foundation-building cultivators protected Mo Hua in the middle and began to search for the lair of a second-grade monster in the deep mountains...
