Chapter 339 Cemetery
After getting the Blood Spirit Pearl, no one wanted to waste time here, so they said goodbye and returned to the residence arranged by the Tao family. After returning to the room and setting up a temporary ban outside, Qingyang took out the Blood Spirit Pearl that was assigned to him, looked at it from left to right, and couldn't let it go.
The lowest level of Blood Spirit Pearls are all foundation-building level. Because the level of Qi Refining cultivators is too low, the Blood Spirit Pearls produced are almost useless, and a bead can only be wasted in vain. Wuxin Sanren is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and this Blood Spirit Pearl is also a top-grade one among the same level.
This was condensed by Wuxin Sanren using his whole body's blood before his life was about to end. A small bead contains huge energy, which is a great tonic for low-level cultivators. If it is directly absorbed and refined now, it can also slightly improve the cultivation, but the experience of the foundation-building cultivator inside will be wasted. Only when it is used at the critical moment of breakthrough can the effect be best.
Some high-level cultivators know that they will die, and for the sake of their descendants, they will use their whole body's blood to make Blood Spirit Pearls. Some cultivators felt that they could still fight, or thought that their descendants would have their own blessings, and leaving the Blood Spirit Pearl would only bring them disaster, so they did not make the Blood Spirit Pearl. The production of the Blood Spirit Pearl is very painful, and many cultivators cannot bear this pain.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Blood Spirit Pearl that many immortal cultivation families can continue to prosper. These are the secrets of the immortal cultivation families, and they are generally not deliberately publicized. It is normal that Qingyang and Lu Dingshan have never heard of the Blood Spirit Pearl. After all, they have only been breaking through the Qi Refining for a short time.
A foundation-building cultivator made more than a dozen Blood Spirit Pearls before his death, and as few as seven or eight. The Tao family was able to leave seven, which means that the entire Tao family declined very quickly and had no time to use them.
Of course, it is not that it is particularly easy to break through the foundation-building period with the Blood Spirit Pearl, but it just slightly increases the probability. Otherwise, the Tao family would not be like this now.
Although Qingyang had dreamed of breaking through the foundation-building stage before, he always felt that the realm was too far away from him. His aptitude was average. Although he had many treasures such as the Drunken Immortal Gourd, it was not so easy to break through the foundation-building stage. Too many talented people eventually fell at this threshold. Qingyang did not think he was better than others.
Now that he had obtained this blood spirit bead, he felt for the first time that the foundation-building stage was waving to him again, and it seemed that breaking through the foundation-building stage was not such a difficult thing. This blood spirit bead can increase the probability by half. If he can get a foundation-building pill, the two together will be a 20% probability. If he makes more adequate preparations in the future, it seems that breaking through the foundation-building stage is not particularly difficult.
Foundation-building pills are very rare, but Qingyang is still young and has decades to prepare slowly. The possibility of getting a foundation-building pill is still very high.
After observing for a long time, Qingyang carefully wrapped the blood spirit bead and put it in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. This thing is the key to whether he can break through the foundation-building stage in the future, and it must be kept well.
Then Qingyang meditated in the room until dawn. The next morning, after everyone gathered, they went to Phoenix Mountain where Tao Youcheng had the accident under the leadership of the Tao family.
As the Tao family said, Phoenix Mountain is not far from Taojiazhuang. Both are even in a mountain range. After leaving the house, they walked up the mountain along a path behind the manor. After walking for two days, about six or seven hundred miles, they finally arrived at the destination this time.
This is a dilapidated small mountain village. The whole village is in ruins, with ruins everywhere, and many houses have collapsed. There was a dead silence around, without any sound. If it weren't for the occasional wisp of smoke coming out of it, everyone would have thought that no one lived in this village.
Everyone did not stay near the village, but bypassed the village directly, walked six or seven miles in, and came to a cemetery. There were hundreds of graves of all sizes erected around, some new and some old, some big and some small, some simple, and some luxurious. The village that everyone just passed by was obviously not big, and I don’t know how many years it took to accumulate so many graves.
As the sun sets, a blood-red sun shines on a large area of graves, making the surroundings look so desolate and quiet. There are no wild animals or pedestrians in the mountains and forests, and even the sound of birds can't be heard. Somehow, many people's hearts can't help but rise.
As cultivators, everyone is very brave. Not to mention a dead grave, even if a zombie suddenly jumps out from the ground, or a ghost emerges, many people won't even blink their eyes. Would a dignified cultivator be afraid of a ghost cultivator? Just rush up and do it.
However, facing this situation, many people have a little more uneasiness in their hearts, perhaps because the surrounding environment is a little weird and quiet, or perhaps the Tao family has found several groups of people to rescue Tao Youcheng in succession, but they all got into trouble here, which made everyone psychologically preconceived.
But now that we are here, we can't just turn around and leave, right? Whether it was Chen Biwang and Lu Feng who came from the seven major sects, or Qiu Mingxi, Guo Kaifeng and others from Yongzhou, they were all outstanding among the cultivators. They all had their own pride and would not allow themselves to be frightened and flee without even seeing the danger.
Moreover, everyone had taken the Blood Spirit Pearl of the Tao family. As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you will be grateful and soft-handed. If you only take benefits and don't do anything, your reputation will be ruined. No matter what, you have to go in and take a look. If there is no danger, it's fine. If you really encounter a danger that cannot be solved, you can find a way to escape.
Except for the Tao family, the lowest level of the cultivators present was the third level of Qi Refining. Everyone had some hidden skills. With high skills and courage, they didn't think they couldn't escape when they encountered danger.
Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong led everyone into the cemetery, and after many twists and turns, they came to a stone-built cemetery in the middle. Then they pushed aside the weeds that blocked the way, and moved a few stone slabs on the ground, and then a dark cave entrance was revealed.
The cave entrance was not big, only half a person's height, and you could get in by bending over, but it was dark inside and you couldn't see anything clearly. Qingyang used his divine sense to explore inside, but found that this was just a cave entrance, nothing else, and the cave was very deep, and he couldn't find the end at all with the strength of his divine sense.
After Tao Zhengyou opened the cave entrance, he saw that everyone was looking at the cave entrance without saying anything, so he said: "This is the cave entrance where my father had an accident. It is said that there is an underground palace inside, which is impossible to build with the ability of ordinary people. It is very likely that it was built by a cultivator above the foundation building stage, but no one has come out alive, and no one knows what it looks like inside."
Chen Biwang walked around the cave entrance a few times and frowned, "In addition to your father, two groups of people have had accidents in it. Is there no one who brought news out?"
