Chapter 170 169 Fate Plays Tricks on People, People Play Tricks on Fate

Chapter 170: Fate plays tricks on people, and people play tricks on fate

Although the conditions for entering the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven are harsh, the Tianshi Mansion has controlled this cave heaven for so many years, and most of the changes in it are already clear in mind.

If there are any unexpected situations, they are mostly due to temporary changes caused by external influences.

For example, when Lei Jun came in last time, the True Yang Treasure Tree bloomed, which was a very rare accidental event.

The reason was that the previous battle around Longhu Mountain disturbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had a slight subtle impact on the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven.

There may be some changes in the cave heaven now. Lei Jun guessed that it was mostly because the Supreme Elder Li Song borrowed the power of the cave heaven to heal his injuries.

That would be hard for the old man... Lei Jun was calm.

The problem facing him now is how to choose between the two middle-high lots.

Lots, both are good lots.

Although the fourth and fifth-grade opportunities are not as wonderful as those of the first, second, and third grades.

But these two good fortunes are risk-free and trouble-free.

In this case, even if the opportunity is slightly lower, it is completely acceptable.

As for which one to choose, Lei Jun did not make a decision immediately.

The fourth-grade opportunity is certainly better than the fifth-grade opportunity.

But which of the encounters or spiritual objects represented by the opportunity is more suitable for the current self, and which one is more important for the current self, is still a question mark for the time being.

The two good fortunes mentioned the time of midnight.

According to past practice, if the specific time node is indicated and the two conflict, it means that one needs to choose one of the two, and you can't have both.

Seeing that the current time is still early from midnight, Lei Jun is not in a hurry. He first goes to Guhongxiu and Shengbochi mentioned in the two good fortunes to take a look and investigate.

In terms of distance, there is indeed a long distance between the two places.

Lei Jun first goes to Guhongxiu mentioned in the first good fortune.

This is a relatively desolate place among the mountains in the cave.

Although the spiritual energy is equally abundant, it is inferior to other places in the cave, and it cannot be compared with the Immortal Bamboo Forest and other places.

Speaking of which, Lei Jun had also inspected this place when he first entered the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave.

There was nothing special at the time.

Judging from the current situation, it may be because of the healing of the great elder Li Song that Guhongxiu has undergone some changes.

Lei Jun is doing a preliminary inspection and came earlier. At first glance, there is still nothing special.

Near the ridge, there are only white clouds, scattered and ethereal, like a lonely wild goose.

However, facing the same scenery, Lei Jun had a different feeling this time.

The feeling did not come from his own perception, but from the depths of his soul, the Tianshi Seal and Zhenyi Altar, which were closely connected with his soul, had undergone some changes.

In the first layer of the Zhenyi Altar, the green Jiuyuan Earth Fire gently jumped, and seemed to be more active than before.

Lei Jun's heart moved slightly, guessing that the fourth-grade opportunity here could be used by himself.

However, he did not rush to draw conclusions. He left Guhongxiu as if nothing had happened and headed for the next location, Shengbo Pond.

Like Yunhai Xianchi, Shengbo Pond is called "Pond", but in fact it has a vast area of ​​water, like a lake.

No one entered the water, and there was no wind.

But the surface of the clear lake automatically generated ripples, which continued to ripple for a long time.

From it, one can sense a lot of spiritual energy.

Simply comparing Guhongxiu and Shengbo Pond, this place is undoubtedly more spiritual.

But Lei Jun did not have any special reaction to the Heavenly Master Seal and the True One Altar by the Shengbo Pond.

The Heavenly Book and the remaining Great Five Elements Creation Qi were the same.

Lei Jun was neither anxious nor impatient. He walked on the water without sinking.

After a while, he used his own magic power to separate the water in the pool, sank down, came to the bottom of the lake, and explored again.

After finding no more gains, Lei Jun left Shengbo Pond.

It is definitely not so accurate to judge which opportunity is more suitable for oneself by the induction of other spiritual objects.

However, considering the difference in grades between the fourth-grade opportunity and the fifth-grade opportunity, Lei Jun has made a decision in his heart.

He prefers to look for the fourth-grade opportunity in Guhongxiu and try his luck.

However, it is not good to waste the fifth-grade opportunity of Shengbo Pond, which is risk-free and has no future troubles... Lei Jun thought in his heart.

Speaking of which, among the people who entered the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven together this time, there are friends with whom we have good relationships.

Lei Jun thought for a while and came up with an idea.

It was still early, so he left Shengbo Pond and went to the next place.

It was also the original target of his plan to enter the cave heaven this time.

Immortal Bamboo Forest.

Lei Jun strolled in the forest, feeling the abundant spiritual energy in the bamboo forest, and was happy physically and mentally.

He bowed to the Immortal Bamboo Forest, then cut some bamboo tubes, bamboo branches, and bamboo leaves from it and stored them properly.

The relevant spiritual bamboos picked can be used for two purposes.

A part of it was used to cultivate the greedy rolling.

The other part was for Lei Jun to experiment with himself.

He considered re-refining the Shangqing Golden Bamboo.

But during this period, he needed to make more attempts and accumulation to verify and improve the idea.

After picking, Lei Jun sat cross-legged in the fairy bamboo forest, breathing silently, and contemplating.

When he first entered the cave, he stayed in the fairy bamboo forest for a short time.

This time he could make up for his regrets, absorb a lot of spiritual energy here, and cleanse himself.

At night, Lei Jun left.

There was still some time before midnight, Lei Jun did not rush to Guhongxiu immediately, but went to Shengbo Pool first.

The Holy Wave Pool was quiet, and no one was coming and going for the time being.

A talisman appeared between Lei Jun's fingers, which flashed slightly and then dissipated into the air.

The silent black thunder water, like thick ink, was injected into the water of the Holy Wave Pool, but it did not spread in the water like ink, but remained concentrated.

It was Lei Jun's Yin thunder of Guishui.

As the thunder water flowed, it disturbed and confronted the spiritual energy of the Holy Wave Pool.

The ripples on the surface of the pool water became more and more intense.

After Lei Jun did all this, he did not stay for long, and no longer cared about the results. He left and went to Guhongxiu.

And the Holy Wave Pool was stirred by the thunder water, and the water waves surged like a tide.

The spiritual energy in the pool water became turbulent and chaotic.

Lei Jun had investigated during the day.

Even though Luo Haoran entered the cave heaven of Shangqing Leifu for training, most of the time he was active near the waters in the cave heaven.

He was born in a water town. While he hated floods, he also loved running water.

At the moment, Luo Haoran was near Xianming Spring, listening to the sound of the Tao that sounded like the sound of nature in his ears.

After a moment, he suddenly frowned and looked back.

There seemed to be a sound of tide.

Luo Haoran was quite sensitive to this aspect.

But how could there be such a phenomenon in the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven?

Luo Haoran was curious and followed the movement to find it.

When he left, someone else just arrived in the distance.

The visitor had a beautiful face and noble temperament. It was Zhang Jingzhen.

Zhang Jingzhen saw Luo Haoran's back leaving from a distance, and they were too far away to say hello.

However, after the other party left, there was no one in Xianming Spring next, which was just right for Zhang Jingzhen.

She wanted to explore Xianming Spring again.

Whether as a direct disciple of the former Heavenly Master or at the level of the sixth heaven, Zhang Jingzhen could get the opportunity to enter and exit the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven once a year.

In recent years, whenever she came here, she would go around Xianming Spring.

The half of the chapter she got here benefited her a lot, but also accumulated many questions.

Zhang Jingzhen was eager to find out the truth.

Unfortunately, she could not find the other half of the chapter.

The water in Xianming Spring has never dried up again.

Zhang Jingzhen wanted to go straight to the bottom of the spring to search, but Xianming Spring had its own magical features, resisting Zhang Jingzhen from going deep into it.

She has also changed several water-repellent spiritual objects in the past two years, but the effect is not so ideal.

This year, she wants to try again.

Although Zhang Jingzhen's sixth-level cultivation strength is far away, she can also sense the surging tide in the direction of Shengbo Pool.

Thinking of seeing Luo Haoran rushing over from a distance, Zhang Jingzhen was no longer anxious.

She considered entering Xianming Spring first and then going to Shengbo Pool.

So, Zhang Jingzhen silently adjusted her breath and began to explore Xianming Spring again.

After Lei Jun threw a stream of thunder water into the Shengbo Pond, he left immediately without looking at the result.

The black thunder water will automatically dissipate later without leaving any trace.

I just don't know if Luo Haoran can detect the abnormality of the Shengbo Pond in time?

As long as others are nearby, they will most likely notice it and rush over as soon as possible.

This is a small "trap" designed by Lei Jun specifically for Brother Luo.

Since he can't get both opportunities at the same time, and there are familiar friends this time, Lei Jun simply takes care of his own people.

There is a saying that good things should not flow to outsiders.

According to Luo Haoran's habit, he travels between various waters in the cave, and it is very likely that he will go to the Shengbo Pond.

However, according to the fortune, the time point must be exactly at midnight, and there will be no harvest if it is early or late.

It is useless for Luo Haoran to go early or late.

Therefore, Taoist Lei set an alarm for him.

As for whether he could "wake up" Luo Haoran, and whether Luo Haoran could successfully obtain the fifth-grade opportunity in the Shengbo Pond, Lei Jun did not care.

He had only checked the environment of the Shengbo Pond before to confirm whether the Shengbo Pond, which was not dangerous to him, would endanger others.

Fortunately, the Shengbo Pond was relatively peaceful, and Luo Haoran had already cultivated to the fourth level of the Tianyuan Fu realm. Even if the water level changed, it would not endanger his life.

The rest depended on personal fate.

Lei Jun himself had arrived at Guhongxiu now.

Midnight was about to arrive.

Lei Jun waited patiently.

Until...

The mountain ridge near Guhongxiu suddenly shook and trembled.

The entire Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven hanging in the sky seemed to have experienced a slight earthquake at this moment.

Lei Jun was fearless, and the Jitu Yin Lei, which was parallel to the Guishui Yin Lei, unfolded and fixed the area around him.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed and looked into the distance.

There seemed to be a faint glow flickering there, with a spiritual light coming out of it.

Lei Jun thought it was coming, and immediately flew down to protect the area.

He looked closely, and found that there was actually a small tripod furnace in the spiritual light.

The tripod furnace overturned the soil on the upper layer and was automatically rising to the ground.

And in the tripod furnace, there were traces of lightning, surging outward.

But soon, as the tripod furnace broke out of the ground, the lightning in the furnace leaked out, immediately triggering the thunder in the cave.

A thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the tripod furnace.

The tripod furnace was not damaged, but the spirituality was hidden inward again, turned silent, and began to slowly descend, and was retracted into the soil again.

No wonder it had to be stuck at midnight, it would not work sooner or later... Lei Jun understood what was happening.

He waved the Xirang flag, and the earth-yellow spiritual light temporarily fixed the rocks and soil, and then took out the black and purple tripod furnace.

The cauldron showed no sign of resistance and fell firmly into Lei Jun's hands.

【Thunder Heart Furnace】

This name came to Lei Jun's mind.

He guessed in his heart that this should be a senior of the sect who stayed here and hid in those days.

Because Yuan Mobai was good at alchemy, Lei Jun followed him, and he had read many classics and anecdotes on this subject.

The elixirs of the Longhu Mountain lineage are usually blended with water and fire, which corresponds to the harmony of yin and yang, the intersection of dragon and tiger.

But this Thunder Heart Furnace has taken the path of thunder and lightning energy, which is very rare in the history of Longhu Mountain.

In Lei Jun's impression, only an old master who died many years ago had dabbled in this method.

Thinking about it, this alchemy furnace should have been buried by the other party in the past.

Now, because the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven has changed due to external influences, this alchemy furnace also has an opportunity to reappear in the world.

Of course, it was fleeting.

To be able to meet him is a matter of fate.

No one encountered him, and the magic weapon continued to be buried deep.

Lei Jun was filled with emotion when he thought of the Weiji Bowl he had received in the Great Alchemy Room.

He straightened his expression, took some incense, lit it, and prayed to the place where the Thunder Heart Furnace was born in front of him.

Later in the evening, Lei Jun was not busy checking the Lei Xin Furnace carefully. He put away the magic weapon and left. He expected to wait until he got out of Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave before talking.

He will go to the Holy Wave Pond first.

Just now, at midnight, when Lei Xinlu was born on Gu Hongxiu's side, Lei Jun vaguely felt that there seemed to be a sudden strange movement on the side of Shengbo Pond.

Unlike before, it was his Guishui Yin Lei who caused trouble, now it is the changes in Shengbo Pool itself.

Thinking about it, it was also due to the influence of Li Song's healing that Dongtian changed, and a fifth-grade chance relationship was born in the Shengbo Pool.

By the time Lei Jun arrived, other true disciples of the Tianshi Mansion had already heard the news and arrived near the Shengbo Pond.

However, the water in the Holy Wave Pool has calmed down again.

The water surface is as smooth as a mirror, without even a ripple.

Luo Haoran was seen sitting on the water, with one hand holding the magic formula in front of his chest, and the other hand holding a ball, which was shining brightly.

Seeing that Luo Haoran was intact, Lei Jun completely let go of his last concern.

The same thing, experienced by different people, may lead to completely opposite results.

Fortunately, winning the lottery was risk-free for Lei Jun and did not deceive Luo Haoran.

"This..." Luo Haoran came out of the Holy Wave Pool, but he was still a little stunned.

He was just attracted by the sound of the Holy Wave Pond, and subconsciously wanted to calm down the flooding here, but he never expected that there would be such an opportunity.

However, Luo Haoran liked this spiritual object that could stabilize the waves very much.

Others were amazed when they saw it.

If anyone was in a more complicated mood, it was Zhang Jingzhen who arrived later.

She secretly explored Xianmingquan again, but still failed.

At this moment, Zhang Jingzhen stared blankly at Luo Haoran and the orb, feeling dumbfounded for a moment.

That was exactly the treasure she needed to explore Xianming Spring!

How can we not let people sigh when we pass by each other like this?

Zhang Jingzhen had mixed emotions, but on the surface she looked as if nothing had happened. She congratulated Luo Haoran along with others.

The good news is that Luo Haoran is an easy-going person, eager for justice and justice.

If she asked the other party to temporarily borrow the orb, Luo Haoran would probably not refuse.

But in that case, it would be difficult for Zhang Jingzhen to continue to keep her affairs completely confidential.

It was such a pity to miss it for a moment... Zhang Jingzhen sighed in her heart.

Lei Jun also seemed to have just learned about this and congratulated Luo Haoran with everyone.

Later in the evening, Luo Haoran talked to him about the matter in private: "I don't know why this treasure was suddenly born in the Holy Wave Pool. I haven't heard of other disciples meeting it before."

Lei Jun's face remained as usual: "The Cave Heaven of Shangqing Lei Mansion is closely related to the ancestral court of the mountain gate of our sect. They are mutually exclusive and have some influence on each other. This is normal. The wonders of heaven and earth are all-encompassing and infinitely changing."

He took the orb from Luo Haoran's hand.

As blessed as his soul, a name came to his mind:

【Dingbo beads】

It seems that this is the fifth-grade opportunity mentioned in the second lottery, the Holy Wave Pool... Lei Jun thought to himself.

He returned the Dingbo Pearl to Luo Haoran and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid this treasure is exactly what you want, Senior Brother Luo."

Luo Haoran also laughed when he heard this: "That's true."

Compared with the water-avoiding golden pupil, which is more used for self-protection and has a limited range of influence, this fixed wave bead can affect vast waters more actively and in a wider range.

"Senior Brother Luo, I have always admired you for having the world in mind."

Lei Jun: "However, sharpening your sword does not stop chopping wood. You should also keep your own cultivation in mind. Remember to talk about your ambitions. If you can achieve the last three days of cultivation, most of the world's floods can be quelled."

"Junior brother Lei is right." Luo Haoran laughed: "However, your tone just now was very similar to my master's."

Lei Jun: "Time flies, and time makes people grow older..."

Luo Haoran, who was older than him, waved his hands hurriedly: "Stop, I shouldn't have told you this."

After chatting for a while, the two stopped joking and sat down together in the fairy bamboo forest, warming up and regulating their breathing, and meditating to concentrate.

When the specified time approaches, everyone leaves the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave together.

Unlike last time, the high-gong elder waiting at the top of the mountain has not been replaced this time, it is still Yao Yuan.

Speaking of which, Longhushan Gaogong Pavilion is even busier now.

Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Li Zhengxuan and Li Hongyu were all not on the mountain.

Li Song and Shangguan Ning are both recovering from their injuries.

The matter almost entirely rests on the shoulders of Yuan Mobai, Li Ziyang, and Yao Yuan.

After Yao Yuan picked up Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, Luo Haoran and others, he was about to return to Gaogong Pavilion.

Before leaving, Lei Jun and others reported to him the changes in the cave at midnight in the morning and evening.

"While Third Master Uncle was recovering from his injuries, his condition recurred slightly, which may be related to this."

Yao Yuanyan said: "Fortunately, there is no serious problem inside or outside the cave."

After everyone heard this, they prayed for their uncle Li Song together.

Well, thank you for your hard work, old man... Lei Jun was calm.

The crowd dispersed and he returned to his house calmly.

Only then did he take time to study the newly acquired Leixin Furnace.

There was something he didn't understand, so he planned to ask his master for advice later when he came back from Gaogong Pavilion.

But that night, there was a call from Tianshu.

The four met and reunited again.

Riyao was the first to speak: "I still have the same question as before, does anyone know the recent whereabouts of Wei Ancheng, the leader of the Blood River Sect?"

Yueyao: "There are rumors that people from the Blood River Sect have appeared south of the river. They seem to have some connections with the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou. However, there is currently no news about Wei Ancheng himself."

Lei Jun and Mu Yao also responded in the same way.

So Riyao was silent again.

Lei Jun glanced at the illusory starry sky in front of him and said, "I have a residual recipe of Buddhist elixir here. If you are interested, you can contact me now or privately."
