Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 182 The Cave of Penance

Two years passed by in a flash, without being disturbed by other people or trivial matters. Luo Qingli was studying magic and practicing steadily, teasing Xiao Wu in his spare time, and lived a very peaceful and comfortable life.

During this period of time, her alchemy skills have improved greatly, and she will save a lot of elixirs every other month. In addition to the spirit beast elixirs for Xiao Wu, Luo Qingli got all of them from the medicine hall to sell them, and she can get them every time. Gained quite a fortune in spiritual stones.

The practice of the Condensing Element Technique has initially entered the second level, which is enough to reduce the suppression of her spiritual power by high-level monks. She has also touched some of the key points of the second level of "Shadowless" of Mizongbu, and will wait until she has mastered it all. , she can come and go without a trace, making her invisible.

Luo Qingli has also made great progress in the ice blasting technique, including the fourth form of the Guanghan Sword Manual, "Air Breaking Ice Slash", which has now begun to take shape. Her strength is steadily improving, and only the body refining technique Got into a stalemate.

Almost all the walking corpses in the underwater training camp he had been to were physical practitioners. In the storage bags of these physical practitioners, Luo Qingli also found several volumes of body refining techniques, but among them were those suitable for women to practice. There are very few body refining techniques, and even if there are any, they are not as good as the Jade Bone Ice Muscle Technique she has practiced, and basically have no great reference value.

This body refining technique is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Luo Qingli is not in a hurry and continues as usual, soaking in animal blood and taking a body tempering pill every seven days.

But when she went to the Director's Hall to collect animal blood two days ago, Tang Laosan told her that she couldn't receive the animal blood.

"Uncle Luo, the beast blood you want is getting higher and higher. Most of the beast blood collected by the Master Hall is obtained by the disciples in the sect from completing tasks. In the past, the third and fourth level monsters were easy to hunt. The fifth and sixth level beasts are easy to hunt." Which monsters can ordinary foundation-building disciples kill? If you encounter one, it’s too late to run away..."

Tang Laosan was very helpless and couldn't figure out what Master Luo wanted to do with so much beast blood, and he also specified that he wanted the blood of fire and gold demonic beasts.

Even if it is to make a talisman, it will not cost so much!You must know that this monster beast only has so much blood on its body. In the past two years, almost all the beast blood collected by the Director's Hall has been sold to her.

Luo Qingli asked: "Martial nephew Tang, what if I pay double the price?"

"The price is the same no matter how many times it is paid. It's not the problem of the spirit stones now, it's that there is no supply at all." Tang Laosan shook his head, "Uncle Luo, I'll keep an eye on you here and try to contact the branches of the Jade Toad Sect outside. If I receive the blood of high-level monsters, I will find a way to keep it for you, but you must also be mentally prepared, after all, the amount you want is really too big."

Luo Qingli nodded with understanding, "Thank you so much, Master Nephew Tang."

She had no choice but to return to Chuixue Valley.

The bone refining stage of the Jade Bone Ice Muscle Technique requires the use of gold or fire animal blood to temper the body. She has almost reached the end of this stage of practice, but now that there is no source of high-level animal blood, this refining Physical skills can only be stuck here.

When Xiao Wu noticed that his master was back, he stuck his head out of the cold pool and spit out mist. The mist reflected the colorful halo in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

Luo Qingli scratched its chin in a funny way, while Xiao Wu rolled on the spot.

"Has the master received the animal blood?"

Luo Qingli shook his head, and Xiao Wu opened his eyes wide, "What should we do? Master, master, can we do anything?"

"Master sent me a message some time ago, saying that she is going to be in seclusion recently, so I can't disturb her." Luo Qingli smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, this matter is not urgent. Just let everything go. I will go back down the mountain in the worst case." Then I’ll go look for it in other towns and collect as much as I can find.”

Xiao Wu nodded his head as if understanding, and then asked: "Then what are the master's plans?"

Luo Qingli thought for a while, "The Central Plains Alchemy Master Assessment Competition will be held in one year. I feel that I have accumulated enough in the past two years. I will go to the Penance Cave to practice my skills first, and then prepare to go down the mountain."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly.

In the past two years, it has been practicing in the cold pool of Chuixue Valley. It has a good cultivation environment and no shortage of elixirs. It occasionally buries itself at the bottom of the cold pool and sleeps for a month or two. When it feels particularly bored, it will swim along the cold pool. He went out to play with his beautiful sisters No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-], and his little life was quite nourishing.

This is Xiao Wu's third year away from the sea. Part of the reason why he chose to be Luo Qingli's spirit beast is because he wanted to go out and see the outside world. Now that Luo Qingli is ready to go down the mountain, Xiao Wu is very happy. .

Luo Qingli touched its head and said, "I'm going to the Pension Cave for a while, and it's not convenient to take you with me. If you feel bored, I will take you to Senior Sister Liu's place? Or Zi Yan and Wei Wei's place, too?"

Xiao Wu struggled for a moment and shook his head, "I'd better wait here for the master to come back."

Luo Qingli left a lot of elixirs for Xiao Wu, packed them up and went into the Penance Cave.

The Kuxiu Cave is just like the trial tower in Yaowang City. It is actually a trial place for the disciples of the Jade Toad Sect. It is divided into two modes: the Qi refining period and the foundation building period. As long as you deliver a certain number of spirit stones, you can get A token enters it. This token actually plays a protective role. When the disciple who enters is fatally injured in the cave, the token will spontaneously break into pieces and teleport the disciple out.

Luo Qingli naturally chose the foundation-building stage mode.

There is a stone tablet erected in front of the entrance of the Cave of Penance. On this stone tablet is engraved a list of one hundred people. They are the top [-] record-breaking people in the Cave of Penance. This list is changing anytime and anywhere. Some people rushed up, and some were squeezed down. It is also an honor to be able to leave a place on the stone tablet.

There is even a saying among the disciples of the Jade Toad Sect that the top seven in the Pension Cave are very likely to be the Seven Seven Sons of the Jade Toad in the future. This is a rule that has been drawn over the years, and the discrepancies are not very common. Big, everyone generally agrees.

The current No.1 on the list of [-] people is Zhao Xuanting. This person is the second disciple of Zhenjun Peng Yue of Lingyun Peak. Luo Qingli is not very familiar with him, but they have attended the advanced class of the Formation Hall together before and were in the same school with Ren Xingcheng. He was the referee several times during martial arts fights.

Zhao Xuanting is already in the late stage of foundation building and is a pure sword cultivator. I heard that the attack power of his sword is very powerful. Luo Qingli has never fought against him, but he can maintain his rank on the list of [-] people in the Pension Cave. First, the strength will definitely not be bad.

It is worth mentioning that Xue Ce and Ren Xingcheng are also on this list. Both of them are ranked in the top ten, and judging from the trend, this ranking is still climbing up.

Luo Qingli also found Qin Ziyan in the previous section of the 20-person list. She is now ranked No. [-], and her ranking is also continuing to rise.The difficulty of this ascetic cave for monks in the foundation building stage is adjusted according to their level of cultivation. This means that whether it is the early, middle or late stage of foundation building, the difficulty of the challenge encountered when entering it is consistent with the current level of cultivation. There is no situation where it is easier to pass a level in the late stage of foundation establishment than in the early stage of foundation establishment. Therefore, in the list of [-] people, it is very likely that a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment will be ranked before a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment.

Since Qin Ziyan came back from Quartz City, she has been coming to the Hard Training Cave from time to time to practice and hone herself. There are at least 800 foundation-building monks in the entire Jade Toad Sect. Being able to stand out among them shows that her personal strength is not bad. .

In addition, she also saw the names of many acquaintances. Jiangling Liu Daise and Yi Weiwei were both on the list, including Rong Fang and Yang Pan'er, who were both Piao Miao Peak disciples.

Luo Qingli took a quick glance, walked to the entrance registration area, took out the identity jade tag and handed it to the Foundation Establishment disciple on duty.

The disciple took the jade token as usual, his eyes brightened slightly after seeing the name on the jade token, and he greeted her with a smile, "Uncle Luo, is this your first time coming to the Pension Cave?"

Luo Qingli handed over the spirit stone and nodded with a smile, "Yes, come over and practice."

"Let's just say, if Uncle Luo has been to the Pension Cave, there is no reason why you don't have a place on this stone tablet." The disciple on duty chuckled.

Back then, Luo Qingli fought one against five in the martial arts hall, which had already spread throughout the sect. This foundation-building disciple on duty was one of her fans. He believed in Luo Qingli's ability and was sure of her. If you come to the penance cave, you will definitely not be away from hundreds of people.

The disciple on duty quickly registered the information, handed her the token, gave her a special storage bag, and explained the precautions: "Uncle Luo, in the Pension Cave, all magic weapons are subject to formation. Magical restrictions cannot work, and ordinary storage equipment cannot be opened. You can only choose one attacking magic weapon, one flying magic weapon and five bottles of elixirs to put into this storage bag. This is the only thing you can use Something.”

Luo Qingli understood, took out the Chenshuang Sword and a Flying Sword and put them into a special storage bag. He also prepared a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill and four bottles of Rejuvenation Pill and put them in, hanging them on his waist.

The disciple on duty made a gesture and said: "Uncle Luo, I'm waiting to see you on the stone tablet!"

Luo Qingli shook his head and laughed, said thank you and took the jade token before entering the Pension Cave.

When the disciple on duty saw someone entering, he quickly sent a communication talisman to his friend, "Uncle Luo from Piaomiao Peak has come to the Penance Cave. Guess how high she can be ranked!"

The friend immediately replied to him: "Of course it goes without saying, it must be in the top ten, bet ten spiritual stones!"

The disciple on duty rolled his eyes, secretly thinking that this person was really stingy, but he also felt that Master Luo should not be in the top ten this time, and he would pay attention to the developments on the stone tablet from time to time.

After Luo Qingli entered the entrance of the Pension Cave, he was transported to a courtyard. This courtyard was empty and deserted. Only the four walls were carved with many large and small reliefs. Among these reliefs were people and beasts, all showing their teeth and claws. , lifelike.

She also learned about the levels of the Pension Cave before coming here. In fact, the settings of this kind of trial place are basically the same, but depending on which point they focus on, the Jade Toad Sect's trial place pays more attention to all-round development. It is divided into six levels in total. The disciples' attack, defense, agility, magic, spiritual awareness and synthesis are tested respectively. Except for the last level of synthesis, the order of the rest of the tests is random.

Seeing the reliefs on the walls around the patio, Luo Qingli thought of the room full of murals of strange beasts he had experienced when he broke into the Yaowang City trial tower. He believed that these reliefs would come to life in a short while.

Sure enough, the next moment, a tall stone man came down from the wall on the west wall. The stone man held a stone ax in his hand and made a heavy sound with every step he took on the ground. He ran towards her quickly. Come.

Luo Qingli took out the Shen Shuang Sword from the special storage bag and rushed towards the stone man.

The long sword was surrounded by sword energy. When it hit the stone axe, it made a sonorous impact. The stone man's footsteps paused slightly, as if he was hindered by the impact. At the same time, a small hole was hit on the axe. gap.

Luo Qingli was determined in her heart, and she slashed horizontally with her sword. The cold sword energy was piled up in one place. Shen Shuang's sword emitted a gleaming white light. It was extremely sharp and cut iron like mud. She cut the stone man in two from the waist and turned into a A pile of rubble fell to the ground.

This level is a test of attack. As long as these reliefs are defeated, this level will be considered passed.

After the stone man fell, two more stone eagles "awakened" on the wall. These two stone eagles were huge in size, flying in the air with fluttering wings, chirping in their mouths, and their talons were like steel knives, and they fiercely aimed at her. Catch it.

Luo Qingli moved lightly to avoid it, and slashed the stone eagle under his sword with two more swords.

There were more and more reliefs coming out of the wall, and they became more and more powerful. Luo Qingli began to face three, four or even five opponents at a time. She walked among the reliefs, the tip of her sword flashed with silver light, and she drew. With a cool and graceful arc, every time the sword is swung, a relief will turn into gravel and roll down.

The spiritual energy in his body was drained away bit by bit, but nearly half of it was used up in a short time. Luo Qingli was forced to a corner, and saw the last two stone figures walking down the stone wall, and then looked at the rest in front of him. There are dozens of relief sculptures.

She paused and stopped dodging. She waved her sword, and the icy rain on the cold night came out. Countless icicles fell down. These icicles crackled on the reliefs, and their bodies were soon covered in scars. Kong, the action is a meal.

The nearest stone leopard had been cracked by the ice. Luo Qingli raised her leg and kicked the stone leopard into pieces. She quickly walked through the ice rain, slashing left and right. In a short time, , then all the reliefs were scattered.

Rubbles were piled all over the ground. Luo Qingli stopped and took a breath, but he saw that the scattered stones on the ground seemed to be suddenly pulled by something.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw countless stones gathered in one place and transformed into a stone man again.This stone man was huge, standing tall and tall, holding a huge sword in his hand. At this moment, Luo Qingli was standing at its feet, only as small as its toes.

Luo Qingli paused in his heart and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Originally, she thought that the difficulty of the ascetic cave was not as high as she thought. Only when she saw this stone did she realize that everything had just begun.

Luo Qingli calmed down, flew up with his flying sword, and attacked the giant stone man.
