The cave is actually myself

Chapter 149

After bidding farewell to Ma Mingyuan, Lu Yuan returned to the cave while thinking about countermeasures.

Although there were many spiritual plants in the cave before, the highest were three third-grade elixirs, which at most attracted some mid- to late-stage foundation-building monks.

But as the Earth Fire Heart Lotus was promoted to the fourth level, the attraction of the cave suddenly increased by several levels, and the Linking Dan monks began to have ideas.

As for the current strength of the cave, it may be enough to cope with one or two pill-forming monks, but if there are more, it will be beyond the endurance range.

The most powerful thing in the cave is the Taiqing restriction outside, which can withstand the siege of several monks in the early stage of alchemy.

But the cave cannot always be closed. If it is opened, the strength of the alchemy monk entering the cave will not be very impressive.

The most powerful thing is undoubtedly the newly obtained fifth-grade treasure, the Ten Thousand Bones Heart Refining Prison, but the effect is not yet known.

In addition, the Star Dou Sword Formation plus the little paper man whose strength has improved several times should be able to face a monk at the early stage of alchemy, and the barefoot Golden Crow's strength will increase a lot after absorbing the tuft of purple hair.

Others, such as wind ghost lanterns, thousand-legged water centipedes, etc., can deal with the monks in the foundation period, but they will give experience in front of the monks who formed the alchemy.

But there is no need to worry too much, because the cave's spiritual thoughts are always in the dark, and even the pill-forming monks cannot detect Lu Yuan's existence.

On the surface, the cave is a secret realm, but it is actually a high-level spiritual realm. It has been well hidden under the effect of the Soul Absolution and Pulse Sealing Technique. If this is exposed, I am afraid that it will not be just one or two pill-forming monks.

The current plan, the first is to increase the strength of the cave as much as possible, so as not to be in an extremely passive state after the alchemy monk enters.

In addition, Lu Yuan got inspiration from Ma Mingyuan and might be able to send one or two monks closely related to the cave into the sect and penetrate inside to provide intelligence to the cave.

Right now, he has chosen a target.

In front of the sword wall.

There are many more sword marks on the huge stone wall.

Long Hong stood quietly in front of the stone wall, motionless, all his mind focused on the countless sword marks in front of him.

It hadn't been long since he realized the sword marks last time. When he entered the cave this time, he felt many new changes in the sword marks on the stone wall.

He had been standing in front of the stone wall for four or five hours. He was so immersed in it that he could not feel the passage of time at all. Every time he had a new understanding, he would write and draw on the ground with branches, recording those ethereal sword energy inspirations.

After a long time, he woke up from his sword enlightenment state. When he turned around, he saw the little paper man leaning against a big tree out of boredom.

"Senior, I'm sorry that I didn't find you in time."

A trace of apology flashed across Long Hong's dark face.

"It's okay. I saw that you were concentrating on understanding, so you didn't step forward to interrupt."

The little paper man wrote on his body.

"I came to you for one thing. Do you want to join the sect?"

The little paper man stared at Long Hong with empty eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Enter the sect?"

Long Hong looked puzzled, then full of desire.

The word sect is an unreachable existence for him. He grew up in a struggling village in the wilderness. In order to survive, he separated his soul at a young age and sealed it in a specially refined lantern. , in exchange for a negligible amount of power.

Use this weak strength to try to survive in the wilderness where monsters are raging and full of strange things, so that you can become stronger and stronger.

As for the sect, it means a practice environment with rich and pure spiritual energy. There is no need to worry about being invaded and polluted by turbid spiritual energy, and there is no need to worry about being attacked and killed by monsters in your sleep.

It means that you can practice to the supreme method, instead of relying on the evil way of separating the soul to strengthen yourself. At the same time, you have powerful teachers to teach you and protect you, and you have enough elixirs and spiritual herbs to improve your cultivation.

"Can I?"

Long Hong murmured, as if he was asking Lu Yuan, and also seemed to be asking his own heart.

"Of course you can."

The little paper man affirmed toward Long Hong without hesitation.

"You are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but you have already reached an advanced level of Qi training. What does this mean?
It means that you have extraordinary abilities, extraordinary talents, and are an excellent genius in cultivation. If you can’t do it, who can? "

Looking at the dense black characters on the body of the little paper man, a smile appeared on Long Hong's face.

"Thank you for your comfort, senior. However, when you suddenly mentioned this, senior, is there anything you need me for?"

"good."

It's so easy to talk to smart people. Lu Yuan sighed and controlled the little paper man to write on his body.

"I will provide you with resources and a training environment so that you can successfully enter the sect. With your current age, cultivation level, and talent, you will have no problem becoming an outer disciple of the sect.

After successfully entering, I can continue to provide you with various cultivation resources, but I also need you to do one thing for me, which is to provide me with sect information.

When I need it, I may ask you to take the initiative to obtain some information. "

Long Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to the little paper man:

"I have some thoughts. If senior supports me, I am willing to enter the sect and serve you, senior, but I also have a few conditions.

First, you cannot ask me to do things that endanger my life. If I think it may harm my life, I have the right to refuse. "

"Second, you can't do anything that is too harmful to nature or contrary to the harmony of nature. I have my own code of conduct and will not break my own bottom line."

"Finally, if I go to the sect, there are hundreds of villagers from Lantern Village outside the secret realm. I hope you can take care of them, senior, so that they can be protected under the secret realm."

Long Hong looked at the little paper man with burning eyes, and his words meant something.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. Although Long Hong was young, he was mature and prudent in his work. He was worthy of being the monk favored by this cave.

He heard that he planned to send him into the sect and lurk in the sect. After agreeing, he immediately put forward conditions, and finally let himself take care of the villagers of Lantern Village, which also showed his determination.

Keeping the villagers of Lantern Village in the secret realm can not only save their lives and provide them with a good living and practicing environment, but also serve as hostages to reassure Lu Yuan that he can enter the sect.

"Okay, I agree to your terms. Don't worry, I won't let you do anything too dangerous."

The two promised each other and made a heart demon oath based on each other's conditions. If there is any violation of the contract, they will suffer the heart demon's backlash.

Lu Yuan was not worried that Long Hong would leak him out.

Judging from the observations during this period of time together, Long Hong's character was very good. Moreover, even if Long Hong was willing to risk the consequences of violating the oath of the inner demon and report himself to the sect monks, Lu Yuan would not be afraid.

Anyway, his true form has been hidden in the dark, making it difficult to detect.

"After entering the sect, if you have time, remember to go home often. Here are the relatives and friends you grew up with, and I, the half-way elder, is thinking about you."

"You can use the guise of exploring the secret realm, or you can pass by while you are out. In short, after you come to the secret realm, I will not let you go in vain."

"Kung Fu, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., will not be missing from you."

Lu Yuan bluntly stated to Long Hong that as a price for allowing him to enter the sect and lurk in it, necessary resources must be provided to him in large quantities.

Anyway, the wool comes out of the sheep.

Such blunt words made Long Hong feel a little embarrassed, and there was a feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant.

With sincere eyes, he thanked Lu Yuan gratefully, and then walked out of the secret realm. Before leaving, he still had some things to tell the villagers of Lantern Village.
