Chapter 120 The Cave Opens
"Shangguan Jinluan, is it possible that you only have Fairy Liu in your eyes, but you don't pay attention to me, an old man?"
Hearing this, an embarrassed smile appeared on the middle-aged monk's face. He stood up in the air, saluted the two of them, and then said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master Wu. Shangguan Jinluan is polite. I heard that Master Wu was here on the second day." Having been promoted to a great alchemist ten years ago, it is really gratifying to see three great alchemists appear in Dancao Mountain.”
"Hey, Shangguan Jinluan, your Hundred Refining Sect's great weapon refiners are no less than those of our Dancao Mountain, and you have entered the Golden Refining Realm at the age of one hundred and twenty years old. You are indeed worthy of being a wizard of the Hundred Refining Sect. , Even if you enter Yuanying in the future, there is a lot of hope. Maybe hundreds of years later, Bailian Sect will still have to rely on fellow Taoist Shangguan for support." The old man known as Master Wu looked at Shangguan Jinluan, but there was not much on his face. smile.
"Where is it?" Shangguan Jinluan obviously heard the mockery in the old man's words, but he didn't care at all, and didn't even move his face: "What does your cultivation mean? Who doesn't know It only took a hundred years for Fairy Liu to enter the Golden Core Realm. Even among the five major sects in our Tianlu Mountains, there are only a handful of them, and Fairy Liu is the one who is most likely to achieve greatness. "
"Okay, don't you feel ashamed to compliment each other like this in front of so many younger generations?" The woman surnamed Liu was as beautiful as a fairy, but her face was covered with frost. After Shangguan Jinluan and the old man surnamed Wu finished talking, they were cold Said coldly.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinluan and the old man surnamed Wu showed awkward smiles, and then fell silent.
Many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage below saw the three people talking without any scruples. Not only did they not show any dissatisfaction, but they all looked at the three of them with envy, but none of them made a sound.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but glance at Fairy Liu. In Xiao Lin's impression, apart from his fleeting glance at the white-robed woman in Xueling Fairy City, which left a deep impression on him, Fairy Liu was definitely the one he saw. The most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but Xiao Lin was not amazed by the woman's appearance, but what Shangguan Jinluan said was that it only took a hundred years for Fairy Liu to enter the Golden Core Realm. This was too amazing. .
You must know that foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying, each major realm crossing is a transformation of the cultivator, and the realm bottlenecks in it have tortured many cultivators who long for immortality to death. Under normal circumstances, A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage usually builds a foundation between thirty and forty years old. But if one can go a step further and enter the Golden Core Realm, it’s hard to say. Some people can enter the Golden Core Realm in about a hundred years. It is also possible that two hundred years ago, before the end of his life, he happened to enter the golden elixir realm.
This not only relies on qualifications, but also a considerable amount of chance. And this Fairy Liu actually entered the Golden Core Realm at the age of a hundred years old. It must be said that she is really the favorite of God.
At this moment, a fire cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance. This fire cloud covered an area of twenty or thirty feet, and flew towards the valley like lightning. As soon as it appeared on the horizon, in the blink of an eye, it When they arrived at the valley, the fire cloud was actually a flame. As soon as it reached the sky above the valley, the hot breath was emitted, and the ice and snow in the valley began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And directly under the fire cloud, dozens of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage had a look of horror on their faces. They were sweating profusely at this moment, and seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure and hot breath brought by the fire cloud.
"Old Monster Zhen, it seems that your Qianyuan Fierce Talisman has been condensed to the point where body and treasure are integrated into one, but there is no need to show it off, it will make the children below warm." He glanced at the scorching fire cloud. , the old man surnamed Wu snorted lazily, and then said.
The fire cloud covering a radius of twenty or thirty feet suddenly converged like a hundred birds returning to their nests. As the flames dissipated, a middle-aged man of about forty years old was revealed. The middle-aged man Thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and a sparse and thick beard under his forehead are impressive.
After Huo Yun restrained himself, he glanced at the old man named Wu and couldn't help but laugh: "So it's you Wu Daozi, what's the matter? Does such a trivial matter as the underground trial require you, a master of the middle stage of Jindan, to take action? Is it possible? Do you want to recruit more disciples in Dancaoshan after this trial?"
"Hey, you don't have many disciples of the Qianfu Sect. You can't blame us. That's because you are too picky. But I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Zhen, whom we haven't seen for thirty years, has already condensed the magic weapon of the Qianyuan Fiery Talisman into a human treasure. , it seems that entering the middle stage of Jindan is just around the corner." Looking at the big man named Zhen, Wu Daozi showed a look of surprise, as if he sensed that the other party's cultivation level had reached the peak of the early stage of Jindan. He himself was just a little worse.
"There is no way. There are too few cultivators with the talent to make talismans. However, if we say that there are few disciples, our Qianfu Sect is far inferior to Tianyun Pavilion. Huh? Fairy Liu and Taoist Fellow Shangguan are also here. From this point of view, Only Tianyun Pavilion is left.”
"It seems that Tianyun Pavilion was the last to arrive when the catacombs were opened last time. It seems true that there are fewer people and more rules." Shangguan Jinluan said calmly.
"Why is Fellow Daoist Shangguan talking about others behind their backs? Are you dissatisfied with our Tianyun Pavilion?" As the words fell, a light golden sword light appeared in the sky and almost instantly arrived in front of the few people. The sword light dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man in his thirties. This man had a white face and no beard, and his facial features were almost perfect. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His black hair hung down behind him. He was wearing an emerald green robe, and a three-foot-long sword was inserted diagonally behind his back. Only the hilt inlaid with pearls and jade was exposed from his shoulders.
Seeing this person, Shangguan Jinluan's face changed slightly, and then he said: "It turned out to be Brother Gu. It seems that Brother Gu's Jinxuan Sword Escape has almost reached the invisible realm. I just said it casually, Brother Gu doesn't have to take it to heart."
Shangguan Jinluan seemed to be very afraid of this cultivator named Gu. Even when facing Wu Daozi, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he did not have such a solemn expression. It can be seen that this cultivator named Gu must be extraordinary.
"Brother Gu, I'm here to greet you." The cold and frosty Fairy Liu actually took the initiative to bow to the cultivator surnamed Gu, and the old man surnamed Wu and the big man surnamed Zhen also bowed to the cultivator surnamed Gu. In a subtle way, the cultivator surnamed Gu seemed to have become the leader of the five people.
"Everyone is too polite. Since the people from our five major sects are all here, let's open the cave. We, the host, need one person to give a few words to these little guys below. I wonder which Taoist brother is willing to take the lead. As he said this, the cultivator surnamed Gu looked at Shangguan Jinluan.
Shangguan Jinluan complained a few words in his heart, but he smiled: "Let me read out the rules of the cave trial."
After speaking, Shangguan Jinluan turned around and looked down the valley. At the same time, a loud voice resounded in the valley: "Everyone, listen, the cave trial is held every thirty years. Now that half a century has passed, the cave will be opened again. Before this trial, there are some rules that I need to tell you in advance. "
After a pause, Shangguan Jinluan continued: "Except for a small number of outer disciples from our five major sects, most of you who come to participate in this cave trial are independent cultivators from various immortal cities. The purpose of your participation in the cave trial is nothing more than picking purple spirit flowers so that you can enter the five major sects to practice. I also express my extreme admiration for your heart to pursue the Tao. The road of cultivation is inherently bumpy and difficult, and we cultivators have also walked all the way with difficulty. "
"The road is difficult, and only those with a firm heart of Tao can reach it. Those who can choose to participate in the cave trial are naturally those with a firm heart of Tao. I will not elaborate on this point. Now I will talk about some precautions for the cave trial. After the cave is opened, you can enter it at will, but please note that the passage of the cave can only be entered but not exited. One month later, I will cast a spell again to open the exit of the cave, and then you will be able to come out. "
"Once you choose to enter the cave, you must stay there for a full month. During this month, you will naturally face many dangers, not only from the many monsters, but also from the cultivators around you. As for whether you can pick the purple spirit flower, it depends on your luck. Remember, you must come out one month from now, otherwise once the cave is closed, you will never be able to come out. Moreover, judging from the usual cave trials, as long as you stay in it, you will definitely die. You must remember this. Now we will open the passage to the cave. "
After saying this, Shangguan Jinluan walked to the other people without caring whether the many Qi Refining cultivators understood or not. The cultivator surnamed Gu nodded to everyone, and then the five of them flew in five directions. After a while, the five of them stood still in five directions, and then closed their eyes and pinched the magic formula at the same time.
After half an hour, the five people each shot out a spiritual power beam. The five spiritual power beams collided with each other in mid-air, and suddenly merged together, falling from the sky and shooting directly into a small hill near the bottom of the valley.
Suddenly, the whole valley began to shake, and the ice and snow that had accumulated on the mountain for who knows how many years suddenly collapsed, forming a large avalanche. However, this level of danger is naturally extremely dangerous for ordinary mortals, but for many cultivators, it is nothing. They just need to disperse the magic power in their bodies and protect their whole bodies. It just looks a little embarrassed.
The whole The valley was also covered in flying snowflakes. Xiao Lin stood on the boulder, and a spiritual light in his body turned into a green eggshell, covering it. The snow that was falling down reached him and automatically split into two waves, passing by him on both sides.
Half an hour later, the snowflakes in the sky dissipated, and the roar of the avalanche disappeared. When everyone looked at the mountain at the bottom of the valley again, they couldn't help but show a look of horror.
The snow on the original snow mountain disappeared, revealing a dark peak that looked like cast iron, and in the center of this peak, there was a dark halo of several feet in size.
The surface of the dark halo was still flashing with ripples like waves, and on the periphery of this halo, runes appeared one after another, with the halo as the center, extending in all directions, as if deeply piercing into the mountain.
