Chapter 171 Test

Only when you enter the sacred mountain can you know how big it is.

When you reach an altitude of 4,000 meters, the mountain road suddenly becomes narrower and the temperature becomes very low. Large patches of frost rise all around and the plants are frozen. The demon blood horse continues to move forward with white mist.

"Why are there two more foundation-building cultivators? At the beginning, the price we agreed on was not described in this way. Now there are two more variables, so we have to pay more!"

In the three carriages behind, the male foundation-building cultivator with a fierce face said to the two people in front with his spiritual sense.

"Wu Tiande, don't go too far. The price we give you is not low!"

The female cultivator in the middle carriage said in a voice transmission.

"What is the value of the Black Stone Secret Art? I don't need to say more, right? If Fellow Daoist Wu is unwilling to take even this little loss, then I will just ignore what I said." The foundation-building youth in the front carriage replied in a voice transmission.

The three of them had been planning something a month ago, and they made the decision to enter the mountain today after a long selection. They didn't expect to run into two foundation-building cultivators by chance.

"These two people are not the waste of Qi Refining Realm in front. It is very troublesome for Foundation Establishment cultivators to deal with them." Wu Tiande did not fall for their trick and continued to speak.

"They are just two cultivators in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Black Stone Mountain is so big, aren't there not many people buried there? At worst, I will do it myself."

The young cultivator in front interrupted Wu Tiande, and the aura of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment spread out. Wu Tiande, who wanted to raise the price behind, had to hold back his words.

"I hope nothing will happen." The female cultivator in the middle of the carriage looked at the dark forest outside the carriage with a worried look.

She has paid too much for this plan.

Failure is not allowed.

In the second carriage, a lone foundation cultivator like Chen Luo stretched out his finger, and a tiny black insect fell on his fingertips.

Bits of information came along his fingertips, and a smile appeared on the face of the lone foundation cultivator.

"Old Han really didn't lie to me! The Black Stone Secret Technique is the top-level spiritual secret technique in the foundation-building period. As long as I get this secret technique, my insect control technique can be further improved, and it is not impossible to reach the late stage of foundation-building by then."

As he spoke, the index finger of the Duxing Foundation moved, and the black insects on his fingertips scattered again.

Under the night sky, countless black insects blended into the environment, and with the cover of the spiritual secret technique, they were almost perfectly hidden, and there was no possibility of being discovered. Unless they were one realm higher than him, but how could a strong man of this realm ride in the carriage of the "post station"?

"It seems that I have to use my treasure."

Duxing Foundation took out a bamboo tube, and a black beetle crawled out of it. This beetle was about the size of a baby's fist, with four pairs of wings on its back, and red dots in its compound eyes. The pliers on its mouth were like iron tools, emitting a black and shiny color, which was very different from ordinary insects at a glance.

"Go ahead, keep an eye on the woman in the middle."

Du Xingjiu took out two black pills and put them in his palm.

The black beetle opened its mouth and ate all the pills in no time, then spread its wings and disappeared into the night.

Half a day later.

The post station's convoy reached an altitude of 5,000 meters. It was even colder here. The ground was covered with ice and snow. The thick frost froze the entire road, and the wheels made a crisp sound when they walked on it.

After walking along the snowy mountain road for a while, everyone saw a cave covered with ice and snow.

This is a transfer post station. The staff of the post station at the foot of the mountain are only responsible for sending people here, and the rest of the journey is completed by the people in the inner city. This also prevents someone from attacking the post station and mastering the way to enter and exit Black Stone City.

All the carriages stopped at the entrance of the cave.

All the people on the carriages got off, and more than 20 Qi-refining monks gathered together, waiting for the post station to arrange for them.

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

"Even spiritual energy can't block this coldness, this is abnormal!"

"The formation of Black Stone City is a third-level formation. The Qi Refining Realm cultivators whose spiritual power has not changed qualitatively have no way to stop this power."

"Old man, when are we going to leave? This place is freezing me to death."

A group of Qi Refining Realm cultivators who can't stand the cold started to shout.

"What are you shouting for! Wait!"

The inner city post after the shift change was wearing thick clothes. After glancing at the group of Qi Refining Realm cultivators, he shouted impatiently.

At this time, Chen Luo and the other five people on the carriage behind also got off.

The five foundation-building cultivators were officially met for the first time.

Chen Luo paid attention to these four people. Except for the three foundation-building cultivators who came together, the rest of the lone foundation-building cultivators, like him, hid their true faces.

"Seniors, we may have to wait here for a while." The cultivators at the post quickly stepped forward and said to Chen Luo and the other five foundation-building cultivators with a nod and a bow.

That attitude was completely different from the one he had shown to other Qi Refining cultivators.

Strength and status were very obvious in Black Stone City.

"Lead the way."

The young male Foundation Establishment cultivator among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators spoke.

Upon hearing this, the post station cultivator immediately led the five people to the cave.

The last three kilometers to enter the inner city required waiting for a special carriage to arrive, which would take at least half a day. Naturally, they could not neglect the distinguished guests for such a long time.

"Senior, can I become your disciple?"

When passing by a group of Qi Refining cultivators, one of them suddenly mustered up the courage to speak to Chen Luo and the other five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The speaker was a young man with a resolute face, and there was an impulse in his eyes that no one else had. He firmly believes that he is a genius, and that one day, like the protagonist in the story, he will be spotted by a master and soar into the sky.

The other four foundation builders seemed to have not heard anything, and passed directly past the young man and entered the cave.

Chen Luo stopped and looked at this person.

ambitious!

This was his first impression, then.

Just lost interest.

He ignored this person and walked into the cave like the four major foundations before him.

"It's just foundation building! It's not right to wait for me to build foundation. Wait for me to form elixir."

Seeing that none of the five foundation builders paid attention to him, the young man felt infinite unwillingness in his heart. He felt that he had been greatly insulted. Although he has already bowed his head, why are these foundation-building monks still unwilling to help him? Being in a high position but not knowing how to support the weak is the original sin of such a person standing in a high position!

The other Qi Refining monks who were traveling with him looked at him with sneers.

They have seen many idiots who want to achieve success in one go, and each one of them feels that he or she is the destined protagonist. In fact, very few of these people can survive in Black Rock City.

"A bunch of trash!"

The aura on the young monk's body rose, and he turned out to be a monk in the late stage of Qi refining. However, among the Qi Refining monks who were traveling with him, there were also experts at the Perfection Realm. As soon as he opened his mouth, three people stared back with dissatisfaction.

"Who are you talking about?"

After noticing the opponent's momentum, the young monk's momentum stagnated, and then he calmed down and stood to the side.

"waste!"

The three monks who had perfected their Qi refining responded with the same words.

The decoration inside the cave is very luxurious. As soon as you enter the door, you can feel a wave of heat coming towards you. The mahogany walls, jade stone walls, and a blind girl playing the piano inside are very beautifully decorated. Compared with the outside, it is like a different world.

When Chen Luo came in, the four major foundation builders in front had already entered the room to rest.

"Senior, please come this way. Your lounge is over here."

The hurried inn monks quickly led Chen Luo to the fifth cave.

Under the guidance of the other party, Chen Luo soon arrived at a luxurious cave. After pushing the door and entering, he actually saw the flowing water bamboo garden. On the side of the stone wall, there was a pet bird specially for people to watch, dressed in fiery red. Feathers look very eye-catching.

"Go down."

After Chen Luo sat down, he closed his eyes and sent away the monk from the inn who was leading the way.

It was just a temporary resting place, and it took half a day to adjust the breath.

The other side.

Three foundation-building monks were in the same lounge.

"Junior sister Yue, we are almost arriving at Black Rock City now. You should tell me the specific location, right?" said the young male monk among the three major foundations.

This male foundation-building cultivator is named Lin Feng, and he is the descendant of the ancestor Yin Gui. The female cultivator who is traveling with him is named Yue Qingping, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Yue family in Black Rock City. Sixty years ago, the Yue family suffered a tragedy. The entire family was massacred by the demon clan, but she was the only one who escaped.

After sixty years of ups and downs, Yue Qingping finally succeeded in building the foundation not long ago. With strength, it is natural to want revenge. This incident involved the causes and consequences of the Yue family's extermination. The most important point was the Yue family's secret technique of spiritual consciousness - the Black Stone Secret Technique.

The Black Stone Secret Technique is a top-level secret technique that specializes in cultivating spiritual consciousness. If a great monk with perfect foundation building practices this technique, he can, to a certain extent, exert the fake elixir realm strength that is close to that of the ancestor who formed the elixir.

Such a powerful secret technique naturally attracts people to peep.

In order to take revenge and regain the secret technique inherited from their Yue family, Yue Qingping found her senior brother Lin Feng and the old demon Wu Tiande of the casual cultivator, and prepared for the three of them to join forces to cleanse the Demon Sect and regain the secret technique.

"That's why I came here to find you."

A hint of coldness flashed in Yue Qingping's eyes.

"This lounge is specially arranged by Black Rock City to isolate it from prying eyes. People outside will never be able to hear what we say here."

"Are you worried about those two people?"

With just a little mention, Lin Feng understood the worries in her heart.

"I suspect that the two of them may be members of the Demon Sect. This sect is very cunning. They have been operating in Black Rock City for many years. The news of my return must have been noticed by them." Yue Qingping's eyes flickered, and she became more and more sure.

She had relied on this caution to escape from the Demon Clan in the early years.

She is extremely confident in her intuition.

"These two people came earlier and later. Why did they bump into us?"

"Are you a spy from the Demon Sect? You'll know if you give it a try?"

Wu Tiande next to him had a ferocious smile on his face. He himself was a businessman without capital, and many forces in Blackstone City had enmity with him. However, due to his powerful strength and physical cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage, ordinary immortal cultivators have no way to deal with him.

"The magic power of the Demon Clan is obvious. Fellow Daoist Wu's idea is a good one."

Lin Feng next to him nodded and approved Wu Tiande's plan.

He didn't want to delay it any longer. It was better to get something like the Black Stone Secret Technique as early as possible. The longer the delay, the more variables there would be. If later he attracts a great monk who is in the late stage of foundation building or even has completed the foundation building, his strength in the middle stage of foundation building will be somewhat insufficient.

"Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Wu."

"It's easy to talk! You pay and I'll do the work. It's not like Wu has never killed his comrades in the early stages of foundation building."

Wu Tiande reached out and took out a palm-sized vermilion square mirror from his arms.

As soon as the mirror was taken out, the air around it twisted, and it seemed as if countless wronged ghosts and evil spirits were wailing in the mirror.

"Wronged Soul Mirror, good stuff! With this thing, we can start with confidence."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he praised it.

Wu Tiande smiled proudly.

The Wronged Soul Mirror in his hand was not an ordinary magic weapon, but a top-level second-level magic weapon. Wu Tiande offended so many people but could still live so freely. The biggest confidence was this mirror.

"Open."

Wu Tiande bit his index finger and lightly tapped the mirror.
