Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 169 The Skeleton Cave
Walking after walking, Su Yi accompanied his master up the mountain step by step. The process was so smooth that Su Yi felt a little unreal.

According to his original thinking, since the Heizhang Mountains are the base camp of monsters, they must have some atmosphere.

Not to mention the tiger perched on the dragon's plate and the dangers aplenty, there must be monsters from all walks of life who would move upon hearing the wind, cry and roar, and so on.

But in fact, this journey was very quiet, just like the outskirts of an ordinary town, without any danger.

Of course, Su Yi also knew that he had been honored by his master. If he had come here alone, he would have been reduced to the blood food of monsters before he could walk halfway.

By now, Su Yi had already guessed about the master's identity, and his guess was quickly verified.

As they were walking, a golden eagle monster suddenly came out of the sky, and came in front of and behind Qingye's magic weapon like an arrow. The golden eagle turned into a human form and leaned down to salute.

"Master Jiuwei is waiting for Senior Shen in Qingqiu!"

This golden eagle was the one who had previously fought with Shui Qiuyue. With his cultivation level at the golden elixir stage, he had to treat Shen Mo with respect.

Shen Mo was not polite to it and said, "Lead the way."

The golden eagle agreed, changed back to its golden eagle appearance, spread its wings and flew into the air, while the green leaf magic weapon followed behind it unhurriedly.

The two flew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye they had passed through the white clouds and reached the blue sky.

Su Yi raised his eyes and saw a mountain peak towering above the clouds in the distance, giving people a feeling of heaven and earth, cave heaven and blessed land.

Logically speaking, the top of such a high mountain should be covered with white snow, but somehow, the top of the mountain is actually lush with greenery, and various herbaceous and woody plants grow very luxuriantly.

Getting closer, Su Yi saw that the mountaintop was actually very vast, about seventy or eighty miles wide and hundreds of miles long.

There are three peaks on the top, high in the middle and low on the left and right, just like the two shoulders and head of a human being.

What surprised Su Yi the most was that on the highest peak, there were three huge caves. The three caves were arranged in an inverted triangle. From a distance, they looked like a skeleton with an eerie mouth.

Seeing that Su Yi was fascinated, Shen Mo suddenly said: "It is rumored that Qingqiu Mountain was transformed by the fall of the ancient gods. What do you think, Su Yi?"

Su Yi smiled after hearing this and said: "Sir, this Su Yi doesn't dare to lie, but I think..."

He thought about it and said, "I think people in ancient times saw the strange shape of this mountain, so they spread rumors about it."

The two of them were talking and laughing like this, and in an instant they arrived in front of Qingqiu Mountain.

Only then did Su Yi see clearly that there were two people, an old man and a young man, standing at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, that is, next to the skull mouth.

The young woman Su Yi had seen it, it was the enchantress Hu Mei'er, and when she saw her standing next to the old man with a quiet and well-behaved look, it was not difficult to guess that the old man was probably the Nine Tails, the ancestor of the Sky Fox clan.

At this time, the golden eagle had lowered its cloud head and turned into a human form. It said respectfully to the old man: "Master, the distinguished guest has arrived."

Shen Mo and Su Yi also jumped out of the magic weapon. Shen Mo put away the Qingye magic weapon, and they lowered the cloud head together.

They saw the old man saluting Shen Modang first, "Nine Tails of the Fox Clan, I have met Lord Xuanwu of the North."

Hearing what the old man said, although Su Yi had known this for a long time, he still couldn't help but his heart beat wildly.

He didn't know what his virtues and abilities were, but he came to this world and became related to the top power of the human race, Beijing Xuanwu.

The master once said that the cultivation level of the Nine Tails was slightly higher than that of the Yuanying monks. Even people with this level of cultivation would take the initiative to salute the master when they saw him. Su Yi really felt a sense of pride.

At this time, Shen Mo said: "Brother Jiuwei, are you okay..." Su Yi listened to the two people talking and heard that they were old acquaintances. Maybe the powerful people here knew each other more or less. This is the circle that belongs exclusively to the mighty.

The two talked for a while, and then the Nine-Tails turned his attention to Su Yi. Su Yi, a man who had practiced for many years, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when the old fox looked at him.

No wonder Su Yi was timid. It was because the nine-tailed old fox's eyes were too careful, and he actually had the power to see through people's souls.

It can also be seen from this that although the old fox Jiuwei and Shen Mo are polite on the surface, they actually have their own agendas.

Of course, with Shen Mo here, how could Su Yi suffer a loss? The old fox's trick of trying to spy on Su Yi's soul was resolved while talking and laughing.

Before he succeeded, the old fox stopped testing and said with a smile: "This Junxian must be the one who went down to the cave in place of Master Xuanwu."

After hearing this, Shen Mo smiled and replied: "That's right, but he is not as advanced as your granddaughter. I hope he won't hinder your granddaughter by then."

"Master Xuanwu is joking, how could the talent you selected be so poor? It's because he needs to take more care of my little girl."

To be honest, Su Yi was most annoyed by this kind of hypocritical politeness between two people who had their own thoughts, but at this time, he did not dare to show any impatience, and his face almost stiffened when he smiled.

After finally listening to the polite words from the two of them, Su Yi finally let out a sigh of relief when he finally heard the words that told Su Yi and Hu Meier to go into the cave.

At this time, his emotions were no longer so tense. Anyway, if he stretched his head or shrank his head, it would be a knife, and he would have to go down into the hole whether he wanted to or not.

The so-called cave is the huge mouth of the "skeleton". However, after arriving here, Su Yi discovered that the huge mouth of the skeleton was not only not eerie, but had a warm feeling.

This also shows that the cave should be very deep, so deep that the temperature of the underground is transmitted out.

It is precisely because of the rising earth energy that the environment here is so warm and that such a high peak can appear green.

Shen Mo had already told Su Yi about how to go down to the depths of the cave, how to avoid risks along the way, and what to do when going down below.

Presumably the old fox Jiuwei on Hu Meier's side has already made it clear to her, so there is no need to make any additional explanations now.

Su Yi took out the wind boat and jumped on it, while Hu Meier took out a feather-shaped magic weapon and jumped on it.

Then the two said goodbye to their elders and wandered into the dark and deep cave.

Not to mention that the two went down to the cave, but that the three people on the mountain had no intention of leaving after seeing the two entering the cave.

The golden eagle swept a blue boulder spotless, and then used the fingers transformed from the eagle's claws to outline on the bluestone. In a short time, he outlined a chessboard on the bluestone.

At this time, the old fox Jiuwei smiled at Shen Mo and said, "Master Xuanwu, how about taking advantage of this free time to play a game of chess?"

Shen Mo saw it and replied: "Very good, very good."

As he spoke, he went to sit on the side of the chessboard and took out the tea set.

When the old fox saw this, he told the golden eagle: "You are no longer needed here, go down." After speaking, he took out the black and white pieces and sat on the other side of the chessboard.

Shen Mo poured a cup of boiling tea soup for Jiuwei and suddenly said, "You just see them acting like this?"

The old fox knew the meaning of Shen Mo's words, but he didn't care very much. He just replied lightly: "If the juniors want to make trouble, let them make trouble. In short, if you and I don't take action, there will be no big trouble in this world." The storm..."
