Chapter 726: The Cave of the Ancient Monk
As the three powerful men of the Ghost King Sect retreated, Nangong Li also wiped out a large number of soul beasts that blocked her in an instant.
She did not choose to pursue, but took action first and rescued Li Daoyuan who was frozen.
The three of them gathered together again, and Nangong Li cupped his fists towards Zhao Heng.
"Master Ren, thank you for arriving in time."
Li Daoyuan also said with a face full of shame: "I am not strong enough to stop those two people. If Leader Ren hadn't arrived, this ruins cave would have fallen into the hands of the Ghost King Sect."
"You two fellow Taoists are very polite. Since we are allies, we should support each other."
The three of them repelled the enemies of the Ghost King Sect, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Nangong Li also told Zhao Heng the whole story.
Because the map of the detected ruins of the Magic Alliance is shared, the same marked point may be targeted by the forces of the four branches at the same time.
At this ruins cave, Nangong Li and his two men arrived almost immediately, followed by three people from the Ghost King Sect.
Relying on their numerical advantage and the large number of soul beasts in the ancient ruins, the other party wanted to seize the cave treasures, and a fight broke out between the two sides.
"Teacher Ren's cultivation seems to have improved a lot."
After Nangong Li told the story of the incident, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Heng a few times, with surprise in his eyes.
Looking back at the battle just now, Ren Woxing fought against two Supreme Elders of the Ghost King Sect.
The strength of these two people is no weaker than that of Yin Kuang. Even with the blessing of ancient ruins and soul beasts, the strength of the two of them is higher than that of Yin Kuang, not to mention that the two of them have also practiced the secret technique of combined attack.
Under this situation, Ren Woxing was still able to easily deal with one against two, and finally defeated them severely.
Its strength is obviously stronger than the battle in the Black Dragon Mountains two years ago.
Nangong Li thought to himself that it was indeed a wise decision to choose Ren Woxing as an ally.
"Master Nangong is so complimentary."
After the two exchanged a few polite words, Nangong Li looked down at the depths of the broken valley.
"Let's go see the cave first!"
"good!"
Everyone agreed unanimously and flew towards the depths of the canyon.
The caves of ancient monks are still very attractive.
Especially outside this cave, there are still forbidden ruins remaining, which proves that it is very likely that there are treasures from ancient times preserved inside.
As soon as he approached the cave, Zhao Heng sensed that there was a strong force of wood energy gathered near the cave. The energy was pure and refreshing.
Nangong Li explained: “According to the alliance map, there are strong fluctuations in the power of wood elements in this area, and there are suspected to be high-level wood-type heaven and earth spiritual objects.
I need a heaven-level wood elixir to refine a furnace of elixirs, so I set the meeting point here. "
"Tianpin elixir!"
Zhao Heng's heart moved. The heavenly elixir was a spiritual creature from heaven and earth that exceeded the thousand-year level. It was rare in the world.
However, the ancient ruins are mysterious and ancient, and there may be elixirs of this level appearing.
Nangong Li added another sentence: "Master Ren, don't worry, as long as you can help me get the heavenly wood elixir.
In the future, I will definitely try my best to help Leader Ren and get what you need. "
After all, the two sides are just allies. Zhao Heng has no obligation to help Nangong Li win the treasure for free. Mutual benefit can only last long. Nangong Li naturally understands this truth.
Zhao Heng nodded and said nothing.
At this time, the three of them had arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Cleaning up the debris from the previous battle, he walked through a deep passage filled with rich wood energy and moved forward.
At the end of the passage, everyone saw an illusory water-marked light curtain like a waterfall, which should be a forbidden area that concealed the aura.
However, there were already cracks on the surface of the light curtain, and the wood energy was still escaping from the cracks.
The three of them casually broke through the barrier, and after going some distance further, they discovered another dim yellow light curtain. The energy fluctuations were quite strong, and there were faint mysterious patterns on the surface. The outline of the pattern should be a defensive formation.
The three of them continued to attack, and this time it took a little effort to break through the restriction.
As the restriction was opened, a spacious cave hall appeared in front of everyone.
In the hall, tables, chairs and benches, bookshelves and medicine shelves, animal teeth and bones hanging on the stone walls, and various strange-shaped ornaments are displayed before everyone's eyes.
When the three of them saw this, they were all delighted. Li Daoyuan couldn't help but touch the scroll made of animal skin on a bookshelf beside him.
However, as soon as his hand touched the scroll.
"Wow!"
The seemingly complete book suddenly collapsed into ashes, along with other animal skin books, the bookshelf, and many items in the hall began to collapse.
Except for a few animal teeth and several sections of bones hanging on the stone wall, which retained their incomplete form, everything in the cave was reduced to ashes, like a mirror and a moon in the water.
Seeing this scene, the three of them were not too surprised.
"It seems that this cave has existed for too long, and the spirituality of the items in the cave has long since disappeared and is completely weathered."
However, the three of them were not completely disappointed, because they had discovered that this hall was connected to three stone gates, and there were restrictions on the stone gates, which seemed to be more complete.
Moreover, inside one of the forbidden areas is the source of this world and the power of Mu Yuan.
A trace of expectation flashed in Nangong Li's eyes, and he immediately stepped forward and used his own skills to carefully erase the restrictions on the stone door to prevent damage to the items in the stone room.
After a while.
"puff"
As the light on the surface of the stone door completely dimmed and the power of restriction was eliminated, Nangong Li waved his hand and pushed the stone door open.
"call!"
A rich fragrance, accompanied by a massive amount of pure wood energy, poured out.
The three of them stepped into the stone room and found out.
Inside the stone chamber, the light is bright, and there is a ban on the top of the stone chamber that focuses light and energy, like a patio.
The mist of green light and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth covered the square field below, which was nearly half an acre in size, through the restriction.
In the field, there are overgrown weeds, several feet tall, and among these weeds, there are sporadic lights shining, releasing powerful energy from heaven and earth.
Seeing this situation, the three people's eyes lit up.
"Ling Tian!"
This secret room turned out to be a spiritual field cultivated by ancient monks.
After a long period of time, the elixir in the spiritual field has died and grown again. After countless reincarnations, it has now become a barren field overgrown with weeds.
But it does not hinder that some of these elixirs have survived for several generations and are still alive today, emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.
Nangong Li's Qi instantly spread out and swept across the spiritual field, after a search.
There was a hint of disappointment in Nangong Li's eyes.
There are more than a dozen elixir plants surviving in this spiritual field, seven or eight of which are top-grade elixir plants.
There are even two elixirs that are considered top-quality among the earth-grade elixirs. They are both wood-attribute elixirs, and they are also the source of the power of the wood element outside the cave.
But it was not the "heavenly elixir" that Nangong Li expected.
Millennium-level elixirs require the blessing of great luck, rather than simply the accumulation of time.
"Sigh, Tianpin elixir is indeed not so easy to find."
Nangong Li sighed lightly and was not too frustrated. After all, everyone had just discovered the first ancient monk's cave, and it was not bad to have such a harvest.
Since there is no Tianpin Wood elixir, the treasures here will naturally be shared among the three of them.
Two top-grade elixirs were obtained by Zhao Heng and Nangong Li. Li Daoyuan would not have any objection to this.
Whether it's strength or contribution to today's battle, the two should share the lion's share.
When everyone was distributing the elixir in the spiritual field.
Zhao Heng, who was originally picking up a top-grade elixir in his hand and looking at it carefully, subconsciously used his divine observation skills to faintly detect a strange feeling.
He felt as if something was spying on him at the door of this stone chamber.
There was nothing unusual on Zhao Heng's surface, but he suddenly turned around without any warning, and at the same time, he used his divine observation skills to the extreme in an instant.
The moment he turned back, Zhao Heng saw nothing, but with all his full power of Divine Observation Technique, he faintly detected a faint energy fluctuation, which instantly left the cave and disappeared.
Zhao Heng's heart trembled slightly.
"It's so fast."
Such a rapid reaction speed is even faster than the coverage speed of the Divine Observation Technique. Even monks in the late Danxia Realm cannot achieve this speed.
"Could it be that the three guys from the Ghost King Sect are still evil-minded? Or is there a powerful person from the Divine Infant Realm watching in secret?"
Zhao Heng quickly denied these conjectures one by one.
The sense of peeping just now was not offensive at all, maybe it was a spirit beast that was good at hiding.
"Fellow Daoist Ren, what's wrong with you? Did you find anything?" Nangong Li and Li Daoyuan also noticed something strange about Zhao Heng.
"Oh, it's nothing. The ancient ruins are full of dangers. Our battle just now was very volatile. It's better to collect the treasures in the stone chamber quickly."
"That makes sense."
The three of them distributed these elixirs and immediately opened the second stone chamber.
This stone room is empty except for a weathered futon, which should be the training room of ancient monks.
The three of them withdrew from this place slightly disappointed and opened the third stone chamber. This time, they made an unexpected discovery.
On both sides of the stone chamber, two niches were dug out of the stone wall, and restrictions were placed on them. Inside the restriction light curtain, there were several items placed, including daggers, shields, bone swords, and even leather armor and other items.
The three of them broke the seal on the niche and found that these items were still well preserved, but there was no energy fluctuation on the surface.
Moreover, there are ancient inscriptions faintly imprinted on the surfaces of these items, like seals, exuding a mysterious atmosphere of vicissitudes of life.
"This is" Li Daoyuan squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
Nangong Li on the side also stared at these inscriptions. After observing for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is an ancient treasure!"
