Chapter 120 Tracking

Mushan River is located northwest of Mushan City.

Four figures cut through the sky and flew forward rapidly. Those in the Qi Refining Realm can fly short-distance air control, but under normal circumstances, they will not do this, because the recovery speed of spiritual power cannot match the consumption speed, and they have to come down to rest after flying a certain distance. Therefore, the vast majority of Qi Refining Realm monks glide on the wind and use the terrain to draw on their strength.

But at this moment, Chen Luo and the four of them didn't save any effort. With Yufeng flying, the four of them quickly arrived at the place Zhou Tianyang said.

The four people flew down and each took out spiritual stones to make up for their previous consumption.

Ahead, the river surges.

The water color is a bit turbid, but to the naked eye, there is nothing unusual about this river.

"This is the place."

Zhou Tianyang took back the spirit stone in his hand, and in a short time he had almost recovered. He took two steps forward, waved his hand, and a black stone flew up from the bottom of the river and fell into his palm.

This is the mark he left when he was chasing monsters before, and it has his breath on it.

"I didn't sense the secret passage."

"Are you sure you didn't find the wrong location?"

The moment it fell, both Mr. Hu and Taoist Mummy were sensing it, but unfortunately they did not find the secret passage Zhou Tianyang mentioned.

"The location of that secret passage is a bit special. I only discovered it after following the monster. It can't be seen from the water."

Zhou Tianyang said.

Unlike the three of them, Chen Luo was looking northwest.

That's Muwang Mountain, and the mineral vein jointly 'kept' by the four major families is at that location. The burial sites of the five foundation-building bones that Chen Luo dug before are right next to Muwang Mountain, very close to here.

‘What a coincidence? Will there be any connection? ’

Chen Luo thought of the remaining obsessions of the five major foundations. There must be a reason why the seven foundation-building monks chose this place as a place to 'raise elixirs'. This hidden valley that Zhou Tianyang accidentally discovered may be related to the place of 'raising pills'.

The same goes for the mummy Taoist over there. The news is that he sold it to Chen Luo. He naturally knows the existence of the 'Elixir Raising' place, but this old guy's city is very deep. On the surface, it doesn't look any different. He is still calculating with Mr. Hu. Possible entry points.

"I'll go down first, you guys follow me."

By this time, all four of them had recovered, and Zhou Tianyang was the first to jump into the river. He was the one who spread the news, so naturally he had to lead the way.

It was about the 'Foundation-Building Spiritual Object', so the few people didn't stay much longer and jumped into the river one after another.

The water in the river is cold, getting colder as it sinks deeper.

After passing the turbid layer of sediment at the top, the water below suddenly became clear.

The separation between clear and turbid seems to have an invisible force.

‘There is indeed something wrong with this river. ’

This thought flashed through several people's minds at the same time.

This location is already very deep and is isolated by the aura layer. It is impossible for ordinary people to discover it and there is no way to sneak into this location.

After sinking for a while, the four people appeared at the bottom of the river. The four people with spiritual protection seemed to be walking on the ground. Zhou Tianyang, who was leading the way, walked along the river for a while.

About 100 meters away, we stopped at the edge of a large rock.

The three of them took a look and found a very hidden passage on the left side of the big stone. There were some seal characters on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, but they were all damaged.

The entrance to the channel was dug on the side of the river, and the front was blocked by large rocks, with only half of the sediment deposited. After several people got closer, they saw the footprints of the entrance. These footprints should have been left when Zhou Tianyang brought someone here last time.

Zhou Tianyang, who was walking at the front, took out a luminous pearl from his storage bag.

Light up the passage and continue moving forward.

After a hundred steps, the channel began to move upwards. After a while, the water level receded, and four people came out of the water.

Outside is an empty underground cave.

There are also many signs of fighting here, as well as a little blood and two corpses. The corpses were all wearing clothes from the Rough Cultivators Alliance. Like the gray-robed man who tested Chen Luo, they were all Rogue Cultivators in the early stages of Qi refining. These two people were most likely the unlucky ones who were casually slapped to death by the monster during the battle with the monster.

"It was the monster I injured here last time, but unfortunately he still ran away..."

Zhou Tianyang walked to a stone pillar and gestured. He didn't even look at the two corpses.

The most worthless people in the casual cultivator alliance are the low-level casual cultivators.

Any force, no matter what its original intention is, once it takes shape, the bottom class will be the target of exploitation. These Rogue Cultivators want to join the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and change their fate, so the Rogue Cultivators Alliance is using them to do things for themselves.

"The Explosive Flame Talisman failed to kill that monster?"

Mr. Hu picked up a stone from the ground, crushed the dust on it with his fingers, and his eyes fluctuated slightly. His cultivation is the strongest among the four, reaching the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi refining.

Chen Luo and Mummy Master also looked over.

This place showed signs of being burned by flames, and the stone pillars connecting the roof of the cave were broken. This kind of power is already very powerful in the Qi Refining Realm.

"The monster beast's skin is very thick and its agility is very flexible. It must have become wise."

Zhou Tianyang groped around the edge of the stone wall. When his right hand touched a raised stone, he made a slight sound. He only heard a "click", the mechanism was activated, and a hole was opened in the natural stone wall.

A ray of light shone down, and Zhou Tianyang jumped up first.

Chen Luo and the other three followed closely behind.

After leaving the passage cave, there was a forest outside. The dense trees covered the sky and each tree was as thick as three people hugging it. There were fallen leaves underfoot, which were very soft to step on.

"The spiritual energy here is at least three times more than outside."

Grandpa Hu sensed it. As a cultivator at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, he was most sensitive to spiritual energy. Chen Luo also noticed the difference. In addition to the richness of spiritual energy, there was a faint fragrance in the air here, like some kind of flower fragrance.

"This way."

Zhou Tianyang, who was walking in front, identified the footprints left by the monster and flew forward quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I heard that you are a top-level alchemist of the first level?" The old Taoist with a dry corpse walked beside Chen Luo and suddenly asked.

"Not the top level, but it's no problem to refine two Qi-nourishing pills."

Chen Luo responded modestly.

The two walked slowly and fell behind Zhou Tianyang and Grandpa Hu.

"I wonder if you can refine the foundation-building pill?"

The old mummy ghost looked forward, and his voice suddenly changed from chatting to voice transmission. This made Chen Luo's heart move, and he also changed to voice transmission to chat with the other party.

"If there is a pill formula, I can give it a try."

Chen Luo has not come into contact with the foundation-building pill so far. The knowledge at this level has been monopolized by others. Whether it is materials or pill formulas, it is difficult to obtain. This is also the reason why most casual cultivators use foundation-building spiritual objects to build their foundations. It's not that they don't want to use foundation-building pills, but that foundation-building pills are too difficult to obtain.

The three major sects only release a few foundation-building pills every year, and each one can be sold at a sky-high price. Even if ordinary people want to buy it, they can't afford it.

"If I provide you with the foundation-building pill formula and pill-refining materials, what is the probability of success?"

The voice of the old mummy Taoist did not fluctuate at all, as if he was asking how much a powerful pill on the road costs.

Chen Luo couldn't help but look at him.

This old fellow is indeed a disciple of the Corpse-raising Sect. He actually found all the foundation-building materials and got the recipe for the pill without making any noise. To exchange these things in the Corpse-raising Sect, the contribution points must be quite a lot. This old ghost must have made great contributions!

"Do you have the goods?"

Chen Luo asked calmly.

"I'm just assuming. I do have the recipe, but I'm still missing two main ingredients."

The old Taoist with a dry corpse replied.

If the second-level alchemist hadn't asked for too high a price, he would never have come to ask Chen Luo. Even now, he made the decision after listening to Zhou Tianyang's description of the efficacy of the first-grade 'Explosive Spirit Pill'. The foundation-building materials are too expensive, and he doesn't dare to guarantee whether he can get them next time.

"If you have the recipe and the spiritual object, my chance of making the pill should be more than 70%." Chen Luo weighed it and said a more stable result. Directly saying the tenth floor would definitely scare people away. Even the second-level alchemist didn't dare to make such a guarantee.

"So high?"

The old ghost was a little tempted.

The probability of the seventh level is worth a try!

"It seems that after this incident, I will find an opportunity to visit Chen Daoyou."

"You are most welcome."

The two people's casual conversation ended here.

Zhou Tianyang and Mr. Hu in front seemed to be communicating with each other, but no one asked what they were talking about. They were all cultivators of the same level and had a cooperative relationship with each other. There was no need to ask about everything.

"We are here."

Zhou Tianyang, who was walking in the front, stopped.

Several people looked ahead at the same time. This was a concave mountain pass. The hillsides on both sides were all shrubs, and some strange flowers that had never been seen grew on them. There was a small path in the middle. This path seemed to be trampled out by some kind of ferocious beast, trampling down all the plants that originally grew in these positions.

"The last time, the monster ran away here."

Zhou Tianyang did not move forward. He suffered a great loss here last time. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you break in directly, it is easy to be severely injured by the monster with the help of the terrain. There are also those strange little flowers around. If you get close to them, you will be affected by them, and the speed of the spiritual energy in your body will slow down. You can only exert half of your strength at most.

Mr. Hu took two steps forward, took out a yellow talisman from the storage bag, and threw it forward.

After the talisman paper touched the ground, it quickly burned.

Monster-hunting talisman!

Chen Luo recognized the origin of this talisman paper at a glance. He had copied this kind of talisman when he was drawing talismans in the mountains before. But it was not very easy to sell, and he didn't draw it again after drawing it twice.

"It's still inside."

Mr. Chen stretched out his hand and took it with his palm. The burning flame of the talisman paper jumped into his palm, and the corresponding information was also transmitted back. This kind of talisman itself is drawn for monsters, and it can only sense the breath of monsters.

"Then I'll trouble you, old man."

Zhou Tianyang said solemnly.

"No problem."

Mr. Hu took out a small gourd, patted the mouth of the gourd twice, then pinched his fingers and pointed forward.

"Go!"

A large black cloud flew out of the gourd, circled around Mr. Hu, and then turned into a cloud of insects and flew towards the valley. The strange little flowers quickly withered after the cloud of insects passed by, no longer as gorgeous as before.

"Insect Control Technique?"

Chen Luo looked at the flying insects and was a little surprised.

The art of controlling insects is a secret art in the Beast Control Peak, and ordinary disciples simply cannot learn it. The fact that Mr. Hu was able to learn this skill proves that he had stayed in the mountain for at least ten years when he was young, and had also been an inner disciple.

"It's just a trick, let's go, let's go in directly."

Mr. Hu laughed, and then his figure flashed, and he followed the swarm of insects and flew in. Zhou Tianyang and the old Taoist with a dry corpse followed closely behind. They all reached the door, and naturally they couldn't let others get the upper hand.

'Be careful, there are people in the valley. '

Chen Luo was also ready to follow, but as soon as he moved, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The two foundation-building cultivators' brains obtained on the Enlightenment Peak fed back a message at the same time. This message made Chen Luo pause for a moment, but it soon disappeared, and he followed Zhou Tianyang and the other two in without any change on his face.
