The cave is actually myself

Chapter 267 Looking in the Mirror (4.3k)

After letting Mother Wuguo wash away the messy aura on his body, Lu Yuan returned to the main mountain peak and took out the two storage bags he got from Liu Yinzhu.

In addition to her own storage bag, there is also another one she got from Wu Li.

Looking at the storage bag belonging to Wu Li, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. He had a good impression of Wu Li. Not only did he give the little paper man and Huanyin Tong so many green ginseng fruits as snacks, he also gave them so many green ginseng fruits as snacks. He brought it into that secret realm and obtained treasures such as the Soul Bead and the Xuanxu Divine Refining Mirror.

"I will take care of your treasure."

He mourned for a moment of silence in front of Wu Li's storage bag, then his spiritual mind penetrated into it and took out the contents of the two storage bags.

There are a total of twelve soul beads in the two storage bags, plus the 23 beads that Lu Yuan got himself, for a total of 35 beads.

Lu Yuan put them together and put them in a jade box.

In addition to the Soul Beads, I also obtained two fifth-grade magical instruments, seven or eight fourth-grade magical instruments, as well as some talisman pills and jade slips of martial arts.

There are two most precious ones inside. One was obtained from Wu Li and is called "Tianyan Puppet Making Technique". It records hundreds of methods for making machine puppets. The higher the level, the most. The fewer methods there are, the highest level seven puppets can be refined.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but was a little stunned. The seventh-grade puppets and the cave currently did not have the combat power at the seventh-grade level. Maybe the little paper man could barely touch the edge, but the others were even further behind.

However, the seventh-grade puppets can also be refined theoretically, requiring more than ten kinds of extremely precious materials, treasures, and a large amount of spiritual ore and spiritual wood.

"There are already human figurines and spirit puppets in the cave. Now with the production method of mechanism puppets, it can be said that the field of puppets is covered in all directions."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Different from human figurines and spirit puppets, "Tianyan Puppet Making Technique" does not require special materials such as dead monks and monsters, which is relatively peaceful.

There is also a rare jade slip in Liu Yinzhu's storage bag, which is slightly less valuable than "Tianyan Puppet Making Technique", but it is still extremely precious.

The technique is called "Xuanyin Soul Binding Technique" and can be practiced until the late stage of pill formation.

After cultivating this method, monks can imprison and refine souls, and the imprisoned souls can be used to refine corresponding magic weapons, spells, etc.

Lu Yuan immediately thought of the villagers of the Yin Qi Village headed by Wu Jiu. They all had Yin Qi and could just come and practice the "Xuan Yin Soul Confinement Method".

After cleaning the contents of the storage bags, Lu Yuan placed the two storage bags deep in the cave.

He suddenly discovered that the storage bags in the corner had unknowingly piled up into a small mountain, with various styles and sizes of spaces.

"It's not an option to just keep piling them up. One day, I'll put them in Wu Guo Mountain Mother's place to wash them, and then throw them all to other monks as immortal fate."

"This is called coming from monks and going to monks."

Lu Yuan instantly had the idea of ​​dealing with these storage bags.

His spiritual thoughts returned to the sky above the spiritual veins inside the mountain, and he took out the Xuanxu Divine Refining Mirror from his storage bag.

The Xuanxu Divine Refining Mirror is a round bronze mirror with a diameter of about five feet. The mirror surface is mottled and there are dense patterns on the edge.

Lu Yuan's spiritual thoughts focused on the pattern, and he realized that the pattern was made up of countless hollow monsters layered on top of each other. When his spiritual thoughts penetrated into it, he would have a feeling of infinity, depth and distance.

Lu Yuan placed the bronze circular mirror upright inside the mountain, and his spiritual thoughts were concentrated in the middle of the mirror.

In an instant, he felt his spiritual thoughts entering a mysterious space. Soon, his spiritual thoughts suddenly rose and he was overlooking the entire cave mansion from a height of ten thousand feet.

Although the distance was far away, he was able to grasp all the subtle changes in the cave. A warm breath spread around his spiritual thoughts, which constantly warmed Lu Yuan's spiritual thoughts.

With a thought in his mind, his spiritual thoughts were instantly pulled into the ground. When he came back to his senses, he still saw the mottled Xuanxu Divine Mirror in front of him.

"It turns out that this is about seeing one's true nature and refining one's soul..."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

At this moment, the little paper man floated into the mountain. Feeling the mystery of this bronze round mirror, he floated not far in front of it, staring at the ancient bronze mirror with his empty eyes motionless.

In an instant, Lu Yuan saw endless paper figures appearing on the mirror, surrounding the little paper figures in layers, wailing, sneering, praying, and all kinds of things.

Lu Yuan summoned the Yin Yang Immortal Bat with his spiritual thoughts. The black and white bat looked curiously at the ancient bronze mirror with a pair of black and white eyes, and then fell into a brief coma.

Under the perception of Lu Yuan's mind, two black and white air currents appeared in the mirror, circling and flying around each other, forming a spiral structure, repelling each other, but forming an extremely harmonious whole.

With a bang, the White Jade Sky Ape jumped directly from the entrance of the cave and landed on the ground, stirring up fine dust.

In the mirror, there appeared a white jade ape that was exactly like it, except that it didn't have a long stick in its hand.

Seeing this, the White Jade Qingtian Ape bared his teeth at the ape that was the same as himself in the mirror. The White Jade Ape in the mirror just looked at it quietly without any reaction.

However, the White Jade Sky Ape felt that he was being provoked by the opponent. He waved his long stick and was about to hit the opponent. The ape in the mirror disappeared instantly, and a layer of gray light appeared on the mirror. Before the long stick could get closer, he flicked it far away. open.

"This silly monkey actually wants to smash my treasure!"

Lu Yuan felt a little angry in his heart.

A pair of dark arms stretched continuously. One hand held the White Jade Sky Ape tightly, and the index finger of the other hand bent and flicked hard on its forehead three times.

This Xuanxu Divine Refining Mirror is a seventh-grade treasure. If such a treasure is smashed, what's the point?
After teaching the White Jade Sky Ape a few lessons, Shen Nian grabbed the white monkey that had calmed down and threw it far away.

The Barefoot Golden Crow also took a look in front of the mirror, and saw only a round of golden flames, like the scorching sun, accompanied by two tiny fireballs below, one in deep purple and the other in pure white.

The three rounds of fireballs of different sizes blurred for a while, and turned into the same bare-footed golden crow in the mirror. It chirped loudly and flapped its golden wings that gradually turned into pure white. It seemed to be extremely satisfied with its reflection in the mirror.

A slender wooden leg sneaked in, and a blind man continued to explore the inside of the mountain like an elephant, and finally came to the Xuanxu Divine Mirror.

It was Luobao Xunjinlou that came over smelling the treasure. It couldn't control its size, so it stretched out a wooden leg to explore the reality.

Lu Yuan looked at the wooden leg, as if he had seen the ruthless Luobao Gold Building outside the mountain.

The wooden legs stretched out in front of the Xuanxu refining mirror, and Lu Yuan saw a dazzling precious light appearing in the mirror, shining in all directions, making the mountain and rock walls look precious.

Seeing that the wooden leg was still groping around, Lu Yuan controlled the bone-eroding demon puppet to transform into a dark mirror of the same size and placed it on the edge of the wooden leg.

The wooden leg sensed the dark mirror, carefully hooked it, and gently pulled it out.

When the mirror was pulled outside by the wooden legs, before Mu Lou could rejoice, the mirror turned into a ferocious bone monster and looked at it coldly.

Mu Lou lowered his raised slender arms unnaturally, scratched his flat head, and his wooden legs automatically curled up under his body, creating a quiet fairy building.

After confirming the effectiveness of the Xuanxu Divine Refining Mirror, Lu Yuan placed it over the spiritual veins. His spiritual thoughts would come over to take a look at it from time to time. Several high-grade monsters in the cave would occasionally come over to take a look at it.

As for those low-level monsters and beasts, or human figurines and spirit puppets without souls, Lu Yuan didn't let them come over to join in the fun, since they couldn't take out anything good anyway.

After dealing with the harvest of this outing, Lu Yuan returned to his previous life, wandering around the cave from time to time, teasing the children of the cave, and watching the growth of high-grade spiritual plants such as blazing sunflower and yellow beam wood.

Occasionally, I turn on the flesh and blood oven, lock the dragon well, wash the sword pool, and when I am in a good mood, I will go to refine elixirs, and the days just pass by.

***
on a certain mountain.

A muscular young man is climbing quickly, he carefully avoids the spiritual field where various spiritual herbs are planted.

Because humans often come to cultivate and plant, there are no monsters on the mountain, only some spirit puppets patrolling and inspecting from time to time.

The strong young man finally reached the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was full of potholes and large and small rocks piled up.

The young man is the elder brother of Zhao Meng, one of the disciples of Kunlun Mansion, Zhao Gang. On weekdays, he works hard to learn all kinds of forging knowledge and memorizes hundreds or thousands of information on Zhongling Mine.

It turned out that he came here this time to find a spiritual mine on the mountain and try to forge a magic weapon.

The potholes on the mountain top were the imprints left by Mulou's mining a long time ago. Zhao Gang looked at the messy mountain top with some regret and closed his eyes.

Under his keen perception, the stones piled up everywhere suddenly burst out with rays of light.

The light was extremely weak, and he could only perceive it if he concentrated attentively.

All the sounds in his ears disappeared, and there was a dense darkness in front of him. Only the faint light flickered quietly, seeming to guide him there.

Zhao Gang opened his eyes and walked confidently to a pile of boulders.

With his natural strength, he easily moved hundreds of thousands of large rocks away, and pulled out a large, uneven boulder from the pile of rocks.

The hand knife cut off the edge of the stone, and pieces continued to fall to the ground. After a while, the stone turned into a stone ball the size of a baby's head. He carefully opened the stone ball, revealing a piece of fiery red ore inside.

"Fire spirit stone, first-grade spirit mine."

Zhao Gang quickly integrated the ore in front of him with the knowledge in his memory, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and showed a satisfied look on his face.

He put the fire spirit stone away, calmed down, found the faint light hidden in the stone pile, and continued to dig the next spiritual mine.

"Are you mining here?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind him. He jumped up suddenly, turned around, and looked warily towards the direction from which the voice came.

Not far away from him, stood a long-bearded monk with an immortal style, looking at him with a smile.

"Tell the Immortal Chief that I am indeed looking for spiritual mines, but before going up the mountain, I asked the monks in the village and was told that I can come to this mountain peak to dig for minerals."

"Well, you don't have to worry, I don't mean to blame you."

"I'm just curious. The ore on this mountain peak has been mined once before. How did you find the ore when you don't even have the first level of Qi training?"

The long-bearded monk was Lu Yuan. When his mind accidentally swept over the mountain peak, he happened to see this strong young man searching among the rocks, and quickly found a fire spirit stone.

"Mu Lou, this guy, was obviously asked to dig out the ores from the mountain peaks before, but he didn't expect that the stones he dug out still contained spiritual minerals. I don't know if it was because he was careless or because he simply didn't like the minerals. "

Lu Yuan secretly scolded Mulou in his heart. The ore that Luobaojinlou, a professional treasure hunter, had not discovered, was actually found by an ordinary person like him. He suddenly became a little curious about the young man in front of him.

"I have had a different perception of these ores since I was a child. I can quickly find them, understand them, and figure out their approximate uses on my own."

Zhao Gang replied respectfully. He remembered that his sister Zhao Meng, who worshiped in Kunlun Mansion, once described to him the appearance of the Supreme Elder, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of expectation in his heart.

"It's interesting." Lu Yuan looked at the strong man and nodded lightly.

"I'll give you these two jade slips. One of them contains a body-training technique. You have average qualifications but are born with great strength. You might be able to walk on this path."

"In the other jade slip, there are dozens of forging methods for basic magic weapons. In the future, you can mine the ores on the mountain by yourself. After you refine a third-grade magic weapon, you can come to Kunlun Mansion to find me."

Lu Yuan threw down the two jade slips. After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

"Thank you Xianchang!"

Zhao Gang knelt down with a plop and pressed his head tightly against the uneven ground on the top of the mountain. When he raised his head, the long-bearded monk had disappeared, and there were two small jade slips not far away.

Zhao Gang hurriedly picked up the jade slip, blew away the dust on it, carefully put it into his chest, and patted it a few times to make the jade slip stick closer to his chest.

When Lu Yuan returned to the cave, he didn't care about leaving the jade slips just now. He just did it casually. As for whether the young man could see him in the end, it would depend on his own luck and diligence.

In the huge palace, Wu Jiu stood quietly in the empty hall alone.

Everything around him was silent, but he didn't dare to look around at will. He kept his head down and remained motionless.

After the head of Longliu told him that the Supreme Elder summoned him for something, Wu Jiu came here half an hour in advance and waited patiently for the Supreme Elder's arrival.

"I don't know why the elusive Supreme Elder is looking for me..."

He thought secretly in his heart, with three parts anxiety and seven parts expectation.

"Wu Jiu, long time no see. Your cultivation has improved a lot. Not bad."

Lu Yuan fell from the sky above the main hall, looking at Wu Jiu who had made further progress, feeling satisfied.

Wu Jiu hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"I came to you this time to teach you and your villagers a skill. The skill is called "Xuanyin Soul Binding Technique"."

"Due to your special physique, you can make rapid progress in practicing this technique, and you can also master some soul-binding techniques."

"The "Qingyuan Zhengyi Method" you are practicing now has a peaceful nature, so it will not conflict with your practice of "Xuanyin Soul Binding Method". You can easily switch to this method smoothly, or you can practice both methods at the same time. See Your own choice."

Wu Jiu pondered for a while. He knew that the technique that the supreme elder in front of him could personally teach must be extraordinary, and the "Qingyuan Zhengyi Method" was also up to the sixth level. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes and he replied:

"Reporting to the Supreme Master, I want to practice two techniques at the same time."

"Okay, this jade slip contains the first three levels of skills. You can teach the first level to your villagers. When you have successfully mastered the third level, you can tell Long Liu."

Lu Yuan left a jade slip behind, stepped on the void, took one step ten feet, and disappeared in a few clicks.

Unlike the strong young man who left behind the body-refining method, he paid close attention to Wu Jiu and was always looking forward to his breakthrough in cultivation as soon as possible.

He didn't care at all about the ambition in his tone, and even hoped that he would become stronger as possible.

After all, no matter how luxuriant the leeks grow, they are still leeks.
