Chapter 1746: Youfeng Lake
This news has been confirmed by the Tianji Palace, so it cannot be false. Although the Tianji Palace in the Wanling Secret Realm is only temporarily set up by the disciples of the Tianji Sect, they dare not damage the reputation of the sect. The Tianji Palace will not only personally confirm the authenticity of the news, but also will not sell it to a second party.
Lan Jizi said: "Since the news is correct, let's act quickly. After killing the Youfeng beast, we will send you to Jietianfeng together, and our mission will be completed."
Yu Yangzi said: "That's right. Although the reputation of Tianji Palace is fine, things are unpredictable. It's hard to guarantee that we won't meet other people along the way. Let's act now. I have prepared a Nishui Tianluo formation for this matter, which can trap the spirit below the level of Huashen for at least six hours. With such a long time, it is enough for us to kill the Youfeng beast, but it is more troublesome to arrange the formation. Lan Jizi, Bai Yunzi, Wu Qizi, all of you come to help."
This Nishui Tianluo formation is a famous formation in the spirit world. After it is arranged, it can form a net on the water, making the opponent nowhere to hide. This formation is not only powerful in defense, but most importantly, it is adapted to local conditions and can isolate the connection between the Youfeng beast and the lake, thus weakening the Youfeng beast's strength to the maximum extent. It was prepared by Yu Yangzi specifically for this matter, and it cost a lot.
From buying information about the Yuanying Perfection Magical Beast, to preparing the Nishui Tianluo Formation, to finding Lan Jizi and other four helpers to hunt the Magical Beast, and then to asking Qingyang to help lure out the Youfeng Beast, Yuyangzi spent no less than millions of spirit stones alone, not to mention the energy and favors he paid for this matter, as well as the loss of climbing the Jietian Peak in the future. From this, it can be seen how high the threshold to enter the Guanxian Cave is. The key is that the effort may not be rewarded, and the magical skills cannot be understood by entering.
Everyone wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. Under the leadership of Yu Yangzi, they quickly set up the Nishui Tianluo Formation on the lake surface around the reef, activated the formation to test the effect, and everything was ready. Yu Yangzi called Qingyang to his side and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, the next thing depends on you. We agreed on the conditions in Tianji Pavilion at the beginning. We will not owe each other anything if the task is completed. If the task is not completed, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yu Yangzi was born in the spirit world and had the capital of arrogance backed by a big force like Xianyou Pavilion. Qingyang didn't care about his attitude. Anyway, after completing this task, everyone did not owe each other anything. Qingyang bowed and said: "Since the conditions have been negotiated, I will not refuse to do what I should do. Goodbye."
After that, Qingyang jumped into Youfeng Lake.
The temperature inside the Youfeng Lake was much lower than outside. Qingyang could barely bear it when he was outside, but after entering the lake, the extreme low temperature almost froze Qingyang. He quickly activated his true essence and formed layers of shields outside his body, and the situation improved.
Not only was the water temperature in the Youfeng Lake extremely low, requiring the use of true essence to resist, but there was also the omnipresent Yin wind, which constantly eroded the true essence shield. Moreover, the deeper into the lake, the more powerful the Yin wind was. This Yin wind was very similar to the Yin wind that Qingyang encountered in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave in the Ancient Wind Continent, and it was more powerful. It only needed a light blow to blow the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones of people, and finally the corpses were rotten and completely turned to ashes.
When he was in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave, Qingyang relied on the Wind and Fire Order refined by the Nascent Soul cultivator to avoid the erosion of the Yinfeng. However, now he is a Nascent Soul cultivator himself. Although the Yinfeng here is also very strong, as long as he protects himself properly, these Yinfeng cannot hurt him for the time being.
Qingyang resisted the erosion of the Yinfeng and the lake water while going downstream. At the same time, he continued to use his divine sense to explore the surroundings to avoid being caught off guard by any sudden changes. Occasionally, he would find a few ghost wind beasts in his divine sense. As Yuyangzi said, most of these ghost wind beasts hid in their nests and rarely wandered outside. Even if some of them were alarmed by Qingyang, because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, those ghost wind beasts did not dare to provoke Qingyang at all, and avoided him from a distance.
Qingyang did not make any unnecessary troubles. He came to the bottom of the lake in one breath, and then looked for the nest of the Yuanying Perfection Ghost Wind Beast according to the direction Yuyangzi said. Although the location given by Yuyangzi was very clear, Qingyang needed to constantly circulate his true essence to resist because of the interference of the lake and the dark wind, and at the same time he had to guard against being discovered by the Youfeng beast in advance. It was not easy to find it.
The Youfeng beast just liked to be quiet and didn't like to move. It didn't mean that the Youfeng beast would only passively take a beating. If they really felt threatened, they would fight desperately. If they were discovered in advance by the Youfeng beast with a perfect Nascent Soul, Qingyang would definitely not get any benefit, after all, the opponent's strength was there.
So the closer to the Youfeng beast's nest, the more careful Qingyang was, for fear of alarming the opponent in advance. In a blink of an eye, a day had passed, and he didn't find it. In the end, Qingyang felt that this was not a solution, so he turned over the Qiankun Gourd and took out the Wanxi grass.
Among the spiritual herbs Qingyang collected in the underground demon cave, there was a Wanxi Grass. It is said that after taking it, the cultivator can adjust his breath at will and cannot be seen through by outsiders. It is a good thing to hide one's identity. This grass can only be used once, and the effect can last for a year. Once it is used up, it will be gone. Originally, Qingyang had not planned to use it, but now that he can't find the Youfeng Beast, he has to make an exception.
Qingyang took the Wanxi grass according to the method he found, and then circulated his true essence to refine the medicinal power. When it was almost refined, he began to try to adjust his breath. After just a few breaths, Qingyang's breath suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the breath of the Youfeng beast.
Ordinary people or low-level cultivators recognize people by looking at their appearance. Superb disguise or transformation can deceive the other party. High-level cultivators and monsters recognize people by locking their breath. At this time, the disguise and transformation skills cannot be deceived by the other party, unless they change their own breath. The Wanxi grass can make up for this deficiency. Qingyang is still standing in the same place, but his breath is exactly the same as the Youfeng beast. This is the magic of the Wanxi grass.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Qingyang trembled, and his whole body began to change, gradually turning into a Youfeng Beast with weak strength. With the improvement of his cultivation, Qingyang's transformation skills became more and more advanced. Even when he turned into a demon beast, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Of course, if you look closely, there is still a difference between the Youfeng Beast transformed by Qingyang and the real Youfeng Beast, but it is more than enough to move at the bottom of the lake.
