Chapter 632 First Meeting
He Lingchuan saw the surroundings clearly through the puppet's eyes and knew that the opening of the cave here by the Dahuan Sect was not an unintentional act.
The so-called blessed land of caves does not always refer to places with abundant spiritual energy and spring scenery. The ancient immortals opened caves on the top of snowy mountains and in the magma world, just to feel the power of heaven and earth here and to understand the natural creation.
The ancient immortals could probably jump into the magma to take a hot mud bath, but people today would never dare to do so.
It was too hot ahead, so the puppet stopped moving forward and took out the Shaoling ore from the sack and threw it into the magma pool piece by piece.
Every time he threw a piece, he would shout: "Xushan Mountain and Ze, show up quickly!"
The cave was empty, and his roar had an echo bonus, floating over the magma for a long time.
The Shaoling ore was scattered and broken, and He Lingchuan hit it with a hammer. The largest piece was only four or five pounds, just right for ordinary people to throw.
They fell into the magma and soon a few bubbles appeared.
The puppet kept the rhythm, throwing a piece every ten breaths. It was more like harassment than feeding.
A few decades ago, Shanze would have disdained such frequent offerings, and if he was in a bad mood, he might even throw magma at people:
Are you feeding the fish here? Get lost!
But since the spirit gathering formation took effect, the offerings received by the rock fire monster have been decreasing year by year, and it is always hungry.
This fly is still a piece of meat no matter how small it is.
So when the Shaoling ore in the sack was about to run out, the magma in the pool suddenly rolled up, and something arched out in the middle, with a bright red light.
The heat wave was overwhelming, and the puppet closed his eyes and stepped back a few steps.
The viscous magma flowed down, and the monster that stood up from it showed its true face.
It looked like a giant bear, with a short and thick body and limbs, but a long tail, which crackled on the surface of the magma.
As soon as it appeared, the brightness of the entire cave increased several times, and it was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
He Lingchuan had attended an open class in Panlong City and knew that this rock fire monster, like the wind demon, actually had no fixed form and could change at will. It was now transformed into a fire calamus, a fire rat-like creature that could survive in the magma world, but it might change its appearance next time it appeared.
This thing was made up of red flames, magma, and black hard rocks. As soon as its front paws stepped on the edge of the magma pool, it made a hissing sound and smoke came out of the ground.
"Mortal?" It sneered at the puppet, and its loud voice echoed in the belly of the mountain, "A mortal is worthy of summoning me? Hand over more ore and I'll spare your life!"
These few pieces of Shaoling ore were not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth. If this weak mortal in front of them could not produce more ore, he would have to use his life to extinguish the anger of Lord Ju Ju who was awakened!
The puppet spoke according to He Lingchuan's wishes: "Shanze Juju, I am meeting with you on behalf of my master."
"Your master? Who is that?" Juju glared at the puppet and sneered, "Puppetry? Ha, you are a guy who hides his head and shows his tail, and you are qualified to negotiate with me?"
It saw it at a glance, and He Lingchuan didn't beat around the bush: "You killed the puppet, and the subsequent offerings were gone. Aren't you hungry after being abused by the Heavenly Palace for so long?"
He then said: "Look clearly at where we are. How long ago was it that someone last entered this cave?"
"It's been hundreds of years. What, did you get the relics of that old guy from the Great Return Sect?" Juju shook his neck, and the magma fell down, "Or are you a disciple of the Great Return Sect?"
Xushan Shanze was obviously very clear about the opening procedure of this cave. It was not opened violently, that is, someone took the right key and found the right hole.
He Lingchuan only needed a few dozen kilograms of ore to fish it out, and a big reason for this was because of the feeding place, no, the offering place was in this secret cave. This was unprecedented, and it wanted to see what was going on.
A disciple of the Great Return Sect? He Lingchuan noticed this sentence and his heart moved slightly.
Did Ju Ju mean that the Great Return Sect was still alive and well, and there were still disciples active in the world?
Well, thinking back, when the Northern Demon Kingdom destroyed the Great Return Sect, it was not yet at its peak, and perhaps the means were not as cruel as in later generations. The Great Return Sect as a Taoist sect was destroyed, but the disciples may have retreated and fled, and were not completely wiped out?
Ju Ju participated in the battle that year, and should know better than anyone else.
"Before Venerable Mu Ling passed away, he left me a message specifically asking me to come down and see you."
He Lingchuan did not say that Venerable Mu Ling gave him instructions, but said that he was "invited" to come down, which was to raise his status. It is useless to be polite and humble to a spiritual creature like the Juju, which was born and raised by nature. It will only think that you are weak and can be bullied.
This kind of creature only recognizes the strong.
If He Lingchuan wants to have an equal dialogue with it, he needs to be a strong person.
The mortal puppet he sent out was of course not good enough, so he asked the puppet to take out a branch and throw it to Juju.
It didn't take it either. The branch fell into the magma on it, emitting a little green smoke, but it didn't vaporize immediately.
"Huh?" Juju was also a little surprised. He raised his claws to take it out and put it close to his eyes.
It was a big branch here for mortals, but it was just a small toothpick in Shanze's palm.
The branch turned black little by little, and the top burned slowly. It looked like it could burn for a long time.
"Is this a branch of the King of Treasure Trees?" Juju seemed to be tasting it slowly, "It seems not right, why does it taste a bit bitter like the Tao Tree!"
"How does it taste?" As expected, the gourmet tasted the way at once.
"It's just barely ok."
"Taste it slowly." He Lingchuan knew that this guy was very picky. If it said it was just barely ok, it must be of high quality. If it was not edible, it would directly reject it.
So, the puppet threw a few more branches of the Juluo tree over.
As an endogenous tree of the large square pot, in addition to possessing some of the characteristics of the Treasure Tree King, it has recently eaten the Hundred-faced Nightmare and the Golden Leaf of the Questioning Tree. Of course, its nature has changed greatly. Even Juju, who had eaten all over the world, tasted the freshness this time. He was in a good mood and looked at He Lingchuan twice.
"This spirit wood -" The long aftertaste was nice, but it didn't want to praise the other party, "Where did you get it?"
"A brand new variety, cultivated by myself." He Lingchuan felt at ease as he took the credit for Dafang Hu. Anyway, this pot has no mouth and won't protest. “But the yield is not high.”
Juju put the branch into his mouth and held it into a toothpick: "What's the matter with you? Tell me."
"I heard that you guard the Star-Zhaing Tower on behalf of the gods." He Lingchuan went straight to the point, "I want the treasures in the Star-Zhain Tower, please be accommodating."
"Which treasure?"
"The one enshrined in the shrine." He buried a trap in his words.
"Splendid pictures of mountains and rivers or a square pot lid?" Diju tilted its head, and He Lingchuan felt like it rolled its eyes. "You are not the first one. All the previous ones have failed."
Sure enough, the treasure enshrined in the shrine did include a large square pot lid!
He Lingchuan took a deep breath. He is not interested in any beautiful pictures. As long as the coordinates of the square pot can be determined, this piece of information will immediately designate the location for subsequent actions!
Tuoju didn't know how important his unintentional words were, so He Lingchuan got an important piece of information out of nothing.
"Others want to rob it too? Why?"
"I don't know. Just ask them."
He Lingchuan's heart moved: "The great demon Chifeng is also here to snatch these two treasures?"
Ju Ju chuckled: "Who can say for sure? There are many secrets in the Star Reaching Tower, and foreign enemies don't come just for the treasures."
"Lingxu City said that it was defeated by Fan Long."
Tuo Ju said disdainfully: "If I hadn't taken action, Fan Long would have defeated him!"
He Lingchuan asked it: "I heard that before the spirit gathering formation was rebuilt, the Heavenly Palace also treated you with respect?"
Tuoju smiled and said: "You don't need to provoke the general. There are many people who want to be accommodating to me, so I will just say: As long as this spirit gathering formation is still there, I can't be accommodating!"
"How did the Spirit Gathering Formation suppress you?" Some questions can only be answered accurately by asking the Sufferer himself.
"This great spirit gathering formation created by Lingxu directly suppressed the earth's veins in Xushan Mountain, which also suppressed my origin!" Juju became angry when he talked about this, and the entire magma pool boiled, "They deceived I!"
In order to build this great formation, it used infinite power to move peaks and mountains, but it got this result. "Humans, haha, are so eloquent!"
When it pointed at its neck, He Lingchuan noticed that there was actually a collar tied around its neck. It was wide, thick, and had complex lines.
Tiangong Zhenxing completely regards Shanze as his own watchdog.
The puppet had to take a few steps back to avoid the splashing magma. As long as you get sprayed a little, the others will be gone.
"What if you can break the spirit gathering formation?" He Lingchuan asked it, "Can you escape from the trap?"
"Break it? Easier said than done!" A puff of white smoke came out of Nuoju's nose, and He Lingchuan took it as a sigh, "This formation echoes the stars in the sky. It can be said that the force of heaven and earth is the same. Even I can't break it from the inside. Especially those mountain peaks, as long as the mountains are there, the formation will be there, what can you outsiders do?"
"Where is the formation eye?" He Lingchuan said, "I heard that the formation eye of the Spirit Gathering Formation corresponds to the Tianluo Star, and the rare treasure placed there is the communication bridge between heaven and earth. If it is taken away, the formation will Is it self-defeating?”
"You mean, the spider slough that contains the star map?" Ju Ju snorted, "It's very possible. But there are two places in the entire spirit gathering formation that are the most tightly guarded, and the formation eye is one of them. There are still two places there. How do you take out the star map after setting up a thunder pool?"
"I dare to mention the Formation Eyes, and I have my own trust. Otherwise, I will come to you to do this useless work?" He Lingchuan memorized the word "Thunder Pool", and at the same time he would not reveal his trump card, "Venerable Wood Spirit also calculated Today’s situation has led me to come to you.”
Lord Mu Ling lived for eight hundred years and was the second most respected figure in the Great Huanzong when he was alive. Of course he was familiar with him and knew very well that this old man was good at divination and reasoning.
"What kind of greeting did he give you?"
"The phrase that helped me enter this cave is 'Leave the east and enter Kanshui'."
Ju Ju lay down on the surface of the magma lake and remained silent.
In the first sentence of the meeting, he asked a seductive question.
