Chapter 580 New Cave
Qingyang knew the most sought-after place that Qingping Sanren mentioned. The Qin family, which held the Golden Elixir Conference last time, was in that area. Not only the Qin family, but many other big families also settled there, so it was relatively lively.
Qingyang didn't like the liveliness. He had too many things that couldn't be exposed, so it was not convenient to live there. Moreover, the experience at the Qin family last time was very unpleasant. Qingyang still had a knot in his heart and didn't want to go there to join in the fun.
"Are there any better places on both sides?" Qingyang asked.
"The situation on both sides is similar, and there is no obvious difference. Brother Qingyang, are you going to open up your own cave or borrow the cave of the predecessors?" Qingping Sanren said.
Qingyang said: "It is too troublesome to open a cave by yourself. You can directly use the ownerless cave of the predecessors. I wonder if Senior Brother Qingping has a suitable one here?"
Qingping Sanren pondered for a moment and said: "There are many types of ownerless caves left by the predecessors, such as palaces, gardens, mountain caves, underground caves, tree houses and straw huts. I can't list them all at once. Here is a simple map. The ownerless caves of the predecessors are marked on it. If you are not in a hurry, you can choose slowly."
Each cultivator has different preferences and lives in different places. Some are born to like luxury, while others have no requirements for cave residences. For people like Qingyang, one person can feed the whole family, so it doesn't matter where they live. For people like Qingping Sanren who have a large family around him, it is not good to be too simple. At least a large manor is needed to accommodate them.
It may be because Qingyang sold his Immortal Knocking Order to Qingping Sanren, who was very patient. Qingyang pointed out a location on the map, and he could say a few words about the characteristics of that place, providing Qingyang with a lot of references.
After choosing and choosing, Qingyang finally chose a cave on the western edge, not far from the forbidden area of the Jindan Elder. The new cave was opened on a mountain wall. It is said that the original resident here was a foundation-building alchemist. In order to facilitate alchemy, he deliberately chose a location beside a lake, and opened up a large spiritual field next to it, and planted a small piece of wild spiritual wood forest.
Qingyang was alone and accustomed to a simple life. There were water, fields and wild spiritual wood forests around, which was very suitable for him to learn alchemy. More importantly, it was relatively secluded and rarely disturbed.
After choosing the cave, Qingyang said goodbye to Qingping Sanren and left. As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Qin Ruyan. After four years of not seeing each other, Qin Ruyan's cultivation had also broken through to the foundation-building stage. Judging from her appearance, she should also be here to register as a disciple of the True Transmission Academy.
Speaking of which, Qin Ruyan's breakthrough was also closely related to Qingyang. The second uncle of the Qin family got the foundation-building pill from Qingyang, which caused a fierce competition among the young generation of Qin family members who were qualified. Qin Ruyan originally did not intend to participate, and she did not want to be associated with Qingyang anymore.
But later he figured it out. This foundation-building pill was obtained in his own name, so why should he give it up? The inner courtyard competition had just passed not long ago, and the next one would take many years. It was unknown how many years it would take to rely on the family to provide it. Since it could be broken through in advance, why did it have to wait until later?
With the participation of Qin Ruyan, the ownership of the foundation-building pill was quickly determined. After all, it was obtained in the name of Qin Ruyan, and with her status in the mind of Qingjing Sanren, no one could compete with her. Qin Ruyan's qualifications were still good. With the foundation-building pill and the support of the Qin family, Qin Ruyan practiced for several years and felt that it was almost done, and then took the pill to become a foundation-building cultivator in one fell swoop.
Qin Ruyan came to handle the formalities with joy after breaking through the foundation building, but she didn't expect to meet Qingyang here. It was this guy's previous magical performances that aroused her feelings. It was this guy who rejected her in front of her family and made her look bad in front of others. It was this guy's foundation building pill that allowed her to break through the foundation building in advance and become a foundation building cultivator. Several kinds of feelings surged in her heart, and she didn't know whether she should love or hate him, or treat him as a stranger.
Qingyang also became a foundation building cultivator, which was also beyond her expectations. The Qin family knew Qingyang's qualifications. Taking away his foundation building pill may have cut off his hope of breaking through the foundation building. Unexpectedly, with only one foundation building pill left, this guy could still become a foundation building cultivator.
This perseverance, this luck, this spirit of growing up in the cracks and not admitting defeat, is fascinating to think about. It was precisely because of this that Qingyang was able to deeply attract her at the beginning.
Unfortunately, after what happened four years ago, the relationship between the two could never be restored, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the Qin family and him. Thinking of this, Qin Ruyan's eyes suddenly lost some affection and became more cold.
Qin Ruyan did not look at Qingyang again, but turned her head and continued to walk inside, as if Qingyang was really a stranger. Qingyang seemed to understand something from Qin Ruyan's expression, then sighed secretly and went towards the direction of the cave he chose.
The location of the cave is far away from here. At Qingyang's current speed, it took him most of the day to find the mountain wall near dusk.
The setting sun reflected waves on the lake. Facing the mountain breeze, looking at the lake, feeling the tranquility around, occasionally heard the rustling of leaves in the spirit woods, and the chirping of insects in the spirit field, everything is so pleasant, so comfortable, this place is too suitable for Qingyang.
Then Qingyang came to the bottom of the mountain wall and walked through the entire cave. The entire cave was opened on the mountain wall. The space was very large, and the scope seemed to be a few points larger than the courtyard where Qingyang lived in the inner courtyard. It was connected in all directions and divided into several functional areas, including rest, meeting guests, practicing, and refining pills. The largest area was the alchemy room, which seemed to be designed for alchemists and was extremely useful.
Perhaps it had not been inhabited for a long time, and the entire cave was in a very dilapidated state. There were even low-level insects and beasts living in the cave, but this was not a difficult task for Qingyang. He just needed to clean it up a little. They were all caves opened on the mountain wall. They were still new after cleaning.
After walking around, Qingyang was already very familiar with the new cave he had chosen, and he was generally very satisfied. However, if he wanted to settle down here, he still needed to do one thing, which was to buy a protective formation to seal off the entire area.
The living quarters for low-level disciples in Qingfeng Hall are all protected by protective formations set up uniformly by the sect. As for high-level cultivators, they need to take care of themselves. It depends on their needs what kind of protective formation they need. Moreover, the formations set up by the cultivators themselves are more guaranteed in terms of safety and privacy.
