When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 88 Ancient battlefield!Golden Hook Valley Ruins

Li Fan was slightly surprised.

He did not agree immediately, but asked: "What type of ruins is it? Do you know the degree of danger?"

"There are signs that it should be a cave left by a golden elixir stage monk, and I saw some traces, so it's likely that it was an alchemist." Luo Caicai answered.

"I saw an abandoned medicine garden outside the ruins. There were no elixirs there anymore. In addition, the layout of the ruins was very similar to the alchemist's residence I had seen."

Li Fan couldn't help but feel moved.

In the Tianyuan world, there are actually quite a lot of immortal cultivator caves, ruins and the like.

Immortal cultivators have a long lifespan, especially those above the Golden elixir realm. Low-grade Golden elixirs also have a lifespan of [-] years, middle-grade Golden elixirs have a lifespan of [-] years, and high-grade Golden elixir cultivators have a lifespan of a thousand years. Their accumulation is very profound.

It's just that not every high-level monk can find a suitable successor to his mantle. There are always some monks in ancient times who lived alone all their lives and were not willing to have no one to inherit what they learned or accumulated. It is not in line with their wishes to find someone to pass it on casually. So there are all kinds of ruins, caves and the like.

Some are just caves left by nature, while others were carefully arranged by monks in ancient times in the last days of their lives and left to the destined ones.

Of course, just because it is reserved for those who are destined to do so does not mean that it is not dangerous.

Some ruins are filled with various tests. In the caves left by gentler seniors, those who failed the test would probably be moved out and unable to enter again. However, some senior monks were more ruthless. Once they failed the test, their lives might be in danger.

There are also some demonic cultivators and calamity cultivators who are very evil-minded. The caves they left behind are very vicious and dangerous. It is common for people to lose their lives after entering. The most hateful thing may be that nothing is left behind in the end, or there are some defects left behind. Or there are hidden dangers in the exercises that will harm future generations.

In short, in the caves of various ancient monks in the Tianyuan world, relics are not uncommon, and there are always relics. But which type they are, whether they are beneficial, and whether they are dangerous or not, all depends on one's vision and ability.

Luo Caicai continued: "I have been to the outskirts of the cave. The seniors who left the cave should be people from 2000 years ago. At present, I can't see any traces of demon cultivators. Which well-known senior casual cultivators should be left behind?" .”

"If the two of us go there, we can probably explore it completely, and the risk won't be too great."

"If we find something good, we take turns sharing it, one for me, one for you, and so on. If you are not satisfied, we can negotiate and exchange."

"I said, what do you think?"

Li Fan thought for a while.

The risk is indeed not very high.

There was no point in deceiving Li Fan about Luo Caicai's identity.

What attracted Li Fan the most was that the cave was that of an ancient alchemist. This was very attractive.

Ancient alchemists have mastered some ancient elixirs that are different from those now. If they are niche elixirs, they are also valuable. And if you are lucky enough to find an elixir that is widely used by ordinary monks, it will be even more lucky and valuable. Extremely high.

Luo Caicai's judgment should be quite accurate. If it was really dangerous, she wouldn't invite him like this.

"Okay, I promise you, let's go and see it together." Li Fan said.

"After practicing in the sect for a long time, it's time to go out and take a look. Otherwise, you won't know what level your strength is now and where you stand among outsiders who cultivate immortality."

Li Fan said.

"Okay, it's settled." Luo Caicai was very happy.

"We each prepare for two days and bring the necessary things. Two days later, I will go to Tianxiao Peak to find you and explore the ruins together." Luo Caicai said.

Li Fan smiled and stretched out his palm.

Luo Caicai was startled, but immediately understood that he wanted to make a high-five.

She raised her hand, but found that she couldn't reach Li Fan's hand, so she jumped a little and gave Li Fan a high five.

"Bullying me for not being tall." Luo Caicai said with a pout, but immediately changed his mood and said, "See you in two days."

"Easy to say." Li Fan said.

Luo Caicai nodded with satisfaction, bid farewell to Li Fan, and Yu Jian left.

"I have to make some preparations in two days." Li Fan thought to himself.

...

Two days later, Tianxiao Peak.

Li Fan got ready.

This time when he went out to explore the ruins, he did not take it lightly, but made all preparations.

On the magic weapon, Li Fan has seven swords, a bright mirror and a shining armor, and a pendant that purifies the evil spirits and clears the heart.

In terms of Taoism, Li Fan has achieved some success in the Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique.

Li Fan regarded this outing as an opportunity to verify his own strength and what he had learned.

The results of practice, in addition to the realm, also depend on the actual strength.

The risk of this exploration is not high, and it can be used as a way to understand one's own abilities.

At the appointed hour, Li Fan walked out from Nuanyu Pavilion.

As soon as he came out, he saw Master Yi Chaosheng standing in Tianxiao Palace, admiring the plum trees in Tianxiao Palace.

Li Fan immediately walked over and greeted Yi Chaosheng.

"Master."

"Well, it looks like you're going out?" Yi Chaosheng asked.

Li Fan thought about it for a while, but didn't hide anything, and said: "Sister Luo Caicai from Tianwen Peak asked me to explore an ancient monk's cave together. I'm waiting for her to come."

"Oh?" Yi Chaosheng was slightly surprised.

At this time, at the edge of the sky, a purple stream of light streaked through the air, coming towards Tianxiao Peak.

Yi Chaosheng turned around and looked into the sky.

It was Luo Caicai.

Luo Caicai drove her huge flying sword, which was as wide and long as a machete, to Tianxiao Palace.

Seeing Yi Chaosheng here, Luo Caicai jumped off his flying sword and saluted Yi Chaosheng.

"Hello, Elder Yi."

"It's Luo Yatou." Yi Chaosheng nodded.

He looked at Li Fan and then at Luo Caicai. He wanted to say something but didn't say it. Finally, he said: "Even if you are sure, you must be careful. In the ancient monk's cave, anything can happen."

"Ok, I know."

"Thank you Master for your concern."

Luo Caicai and Li Fan answered respectively.

"Well... go ahead." Yi Chaosheng nodded.

The Zijue Flying Sword flew out of Li Fan's sword bag. Li Fan jumped on the flying sword and left hand in hand with Luo Caicai.

Yi Chaosheng watched the two people leaving. After a while, the words he didn't say just now turned into a long sigh.

"Xixuan, you have been in seclusion for too long. If you don't come out of seclusion, the Taoist companion I specially selected for you will be taken over by someone else."

"The young monk's emotions come quickly!"

Yi Chaosheng murmured to himself like an old father worried about his daughter who couldn't get married.

After Yi Xixuan returned to Wandaomen from Luoxing Islands, she immediately announced her retreat.

While repairing the damaged golden elixir, she found an opportunity for a breakthrough.

It's just that once a Jindan monk retreats, it can often last for several years, more than ten years, or even decades, which is not uncommon.

Yi Chaosheng originally accepted Li Fan as his disciple with the intention of finding a Ruyi Taoist companion for Yi Xixuan.

However, Li Fan's performance satisfied Yi Chaosheng in every way. In addition to his original plan, he now actually cultivated Li Fan as his direct disciple.

Now seeing Li Fan and Luo Caicai walking closer, Yi Chaosheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional and entangled in his heart.

He is someone who has been through this before, and he fully understands the truth that forceful melons are not sweet, and there is no reason to stop Li Fan from dating anyone.

Yi Chaosheng can only hope that Yi Xixuan can successfully pass the test in Japan, so that his efforts will not be in vain.

At this moment, thousands of words turned into a long sigh in Yi Chaosheng's mouth.

Li Fan naturally didn't know what Yi Chaosheng was thinking.

He and Luo Caicai headed east and left Zihua Mountain.

Li Fan and Luo Caicai's destination is the border between Lingshu Kingdom and Bihua Kingdom.

During these days at Wandaomen, Li Fan also learned about the geography around Zihua Mountain where Wandaomen is located.

The Zihua Mountain of the Wandao Sect is in the southeast of the Tianyuan Realm. As the most prestigious sect in this area, the area that the Wandao Sect can influence extends to the Wuhu Mountains and the Northern Snow Territory in the north, and to the east is the Lingshu Kingdom and the Bihua Kingdom. The more decentralized southeast is the Dan Kingdom, the Valley Kingdom, and the west is the Baiyue Kingdom.

Among them, Dan State, considered Li Fan's homeland, was actually only a moderately weak one among several countries.

But even so, Dan State had 42 provinces and hundreds of millions of citizens.

Between Dan State and Zihua Mountain, there are two countries, Lingshu State and Bihua State.

The national strength, territory, and population of these two countries far exceed those of Dan State.

The place Li Fan and Luo Caicai are going to is an ancient battlefield on the border of Lingshu Kingdom.

Li Fan's ability to control the flying sword has improved. Apart from wielding the sword, he can also talk to Luo Caicai without any difficulty.

Just like this moment.

Li Fan controlled the speed of the sword and flew with Luo Caicai thousands of feet above the ground.

Li Fan and Luo Caicai walked side by side, as if they were standing motionless on the ground.

In front of him, there is spiritual protection to resist the oncoming cold wind.

"How did you find this ruins? It seems that it is not close to Zihua Mountain." Li Fan asked.

"I have a lot of connections in the sect," Luo Caicai replied, "Many disciples can tame spirit beasts, so I know a lot of people."

"This relic is the information that an inner disciple gave me, and a map whose authenticity and usefulness are unknown. I don't know how he got the map, but he doesn't have the strength to explore, and he needs good skills to practice, so I will Bought it with a small amount of good deeds.”

"It happened that there was a sect mission to come to Lingshu Kingdom before, so I went to explore it and found that the map was real, but I couldn't enter the core area."

"The ruins recorded on the map are an underground palace, and there are an unknown number of fourth-level monsters and demon-blooded bats in it. My Taoism and sword-control skills are not suitable for dealing with those demon-blooded bats, so I can only withdraw. Later, I met you and felt that You are quite reliable and have the ability to fight in a group, so I want to cooperate with you."

Li Fan nodded slightly.

Demon-blooded bats, fourth-level monsters, appear in groups.

It is said that this monster has the bloodline of the legendary monster Undead Mebat, and its teeth are highly poisonous. Some of them also have innate sonic spells, which are almost Taoist magic.

Although a single demon-blood bat is not terrifying, even a monk in the Qi refining stage can kill it alone if he is ready, but when there are thousands of these bats, it is extremely troublesome.

But Li Fan was not afraid at all.

What he is best at is group fighting.

Since successfully refining the Seven Ultimate Sword, Li Fan's combat power has increased greatly, and the most prominent one is his ability to not be afraid of group battles.

With this ability, Li Fan specializes in taking on tasks that require a small team among the Ten Thousand Doors. One person can defeat a team, and the rewards are the same. The good deeds obtained by one person can only be obtained by a team of four or five others. of.

In this way, let him take advantage.Li Fan felt more and more that buying the Seven Kills Flying Sword when he was on Lingcha Island was the right choice. Now the cost of the Seven Kills Sword was almost earned by doing sect tasks.

"Let's hurry up and sprint!" Li Fan said.

The Purple Jue Sword under his feet suddenly accelerated.

"Ah! You, wait!" Luo Caicai exclaimed softly and sped up to follow.

...

Two days later.

In the morning, it is time.

Li Fan and Luo Caicai arrived at their destination.

Lingshu Kingdom, the ancient battlefield of Jingou Valley.

This place is called Golden Hook Valley. It is actually a large valley formed by a large black rock. It is desolate and silent, with no vegetation growing.

Here, Li Fan could vaguely feel a chilling air and some resentment.

Luo Caicai walked beside Li Fan, looking at the abrupt black rocks and steep valley cliffs thousands of feet high, and said, "I did my homework before I came here."

"This is the border of Lingshu Kingdom and also the ancient battlefield."

"It is said that 3000 years ago, there was an ancient country here, the Dian Kingdom, which fought a battle with its neighboring country, the Guyue Kingdom. The 80 soldiers of the Dian Kingdom fell into the trap of the general of the Guyue Kingdom and were trapped here in the Golden Hook Valley. .”

"The fighting was very fierce at that time. The terrain here is like a golden hook. It is difficult to get out after entering. Finally, I heard that all 80 Dian soldiers died here. It was terrible."

When Luo Caicai said it was reasonable, he actually said that he was scared and trembled.

Li Fan laughed when he heard this.

"Senior Sister Luo, what ghosts and ghosts are you, a monk, afraid of?"

"We monks, the fireball technique and other Taoist techniques in the Qi refining stage have masculine qualities. Even if there is a ghost, a small blazing flame technique will burn it out, so it is impossible to use a fireball technique."

"Furthermore, the monks themselves have sufficient resources. As long as the demon cultivators and ghost cultivators do not attack with the help of sinister magic, the ghosts will circle around us."

"Besides, they are just the ghosts of the mortal army. They have dissipated long ago in two or three thousand years. Moreover, the mortal army is just that. If you get angry, Senior Sister Luo, as long as you are given time, you can easily kill anyone." There is no need to be afraid of 3000 mortal troops." Li Fan said with a smile.

"You're talking as if I'm a murderer." Luo Caicai said with a pout on her face.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Are you not afraid anymore?"

"Ah?" Luo Caicai was startled, and then said: "Oh, you deliberately teased me so that I wouldn't pay attention."

"Let's go." Li Fan casually patted Luo Caicai on the shoulder and walked forward.

Luo Caicai was slightly startled again.

After a moment, her face turned slightly red, then quickly returned to normal, and followed Li Fan forward.

Li Fan and Luo Caicai walked for a while and then wielded their swords, and finally arrived at their destination.

The ancient monk's cave is located deep at the end of the Golden Hook Valley.

This place is the deepest part of the hook-shaped Golden Hook Valley and the highest place of the surrounding cliffs.

The surrounding black rocks have become cliffs, surrounding three sides of the place. Viewed from below, the distance to the top of the cliff is probably more than [-] feet.

Because the surrounding rock walls are so high, except for the brief period of direct sunlight, no sunlight can be seen in the canyon, making it cold and eerie.

Li Fan came here and after observing for a while, he asked Luo Caicai: "Are you really sure this is not the ruins of a demon cultivator's cave?"

"Choose this position, you don't look like a decent monk."

How could a serious monk choose such a gloomy place to build a cave?
"I said, don't worry, they must be decent monks. Why they chose this place is hard for me to understand, but they must not be demonic cultivators," Luo Caicai said.

At this time, it was already the end of Si hour and the beginning of Noon hour.

The sun shines brightly above the canyon. Due to the angle, a ray of sunlight shines down from above. On the Qianren Stone Wall, at the top of the cliff, due to the sunlight, golden runes light up on the black rock wall. .

The golden runes looked a bit like upside-down water droplets, and a bit like tadpoles. They couldn't be seen before and only appeared when the sun was shining.

The golden symbols lit up one after another, and finally connected into a line, as if the golden sunlight was drawn down. The stone wall in front of Li Fan and Luo Caicai also became a stone wall covered with golden sunlight.

When Li Fan saw it, his heart suddenly moved.

"Gangang moving formation?" Li Fan said.

"Hey, you are very knowledgeable." Luo Caicai was a little surprised.

"I wanted to show off to you, but since you know me, let's forget it."

"No one cares about this place as a cultivator, but it is a famous wonder in Lingshu Kingdom. Some literati from Lingshu Kingdom came to pay homage to the ancient battlefield. When they came here, they saw the noon sun being drawn down, and they thought It’s a wonder.”

"But, someone actually arranged a Gan Gang moving formation here."

Li Fan nodded and said, "I know why you said this is definitely not the cave of a demon cultivator."

"To be able to arrange the Gan Gang Movement Formation, you need the noon sun to stimulate the formation. No matter whether it is a demon cultivator or an evil cultivator, you cannot arrange such an array at all. You can only be an upright monk."

"Yeah, quite smart." Luo Caicai nodded.

She took a few steps forward and came to the stone wall where the sunlight was 'directed' down.

Luo Caicai pressed his hand on the stone wall and added his own spiritual power. Soon, a magic circle emerged from the dark stone wall.

There were some depressions at the junction of the formations on the stone wall.

Luo Caicai inserted six spiritual stones into the depressions, and the golden array on the black stone wall shone brightly.

"Follow me." Luo Caicai said.

Li Fan smiled, strode forward, and walked side by side to the stone wall with Luo Caicai.

A burst of golden ripples rippled, and Li Fan and Luo Caicai seemed to blend into the stone wall.

After a while, the place returned to calm. It was still a desolate valley, and Li Fan and Luo Caicai were no longer visible.

...

Li Fan felt in a trance. When he woke up, he found that he was already in a cave.

He observed his surroundings.

This place is somewhat like the underground caves of the Golden Leaf Island Mine that Li Fan has been to, but they are much wider and the naturally formed cave passages are much taller.

Suddenly, Li Fan felt someone pulling his hand.

Li Fan looked back and saw that it was Luo Caicai.

Her hands were a little cold, her face turned slightly pale, and she said, "I'm actually quite afraid of this kind of place."

"Then you are still coming?" Li Fan asked.

"If you have good deeds, you will come even if you are afraid." Luo Caicai puffed up his chest and said.

Li Fan nodded.

He raised his left hand, and an incandescent fireball suddenly condensed and flew up.

The fireball was not big, not like when Li Fan used the fireball technique. It was only the size of a fist, but it was still hot and lit up a space in front of him.

Since Li Fan practiced the Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique, his understanding of the structure of Taoism has reached a great level.

The so-called superior position, after Li Fan mastered the Fire Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique, he looked back at the Taoist techniques in his Qi Refining Period and gained a deeper understanding, and he became more flexible in performing them.

Just like the fireball flying in front of him, it is actually the Taoist structure of the fireball technique, but the spiritual power and structure used have been miniaturized, so that it can illuminate like it is now.

But if this fist-sized incandescent fireball is activated, its power will be no less than that of a normal fireball.

Luo Caicai's hands could feel much warmer physically.

She retracted her hand and looked at the floating fireball, feeling surprised but also somewhat reassured.

"Your Taoist talent seems to be really good." Luo Caicai said.

Li Fan smiled lightly.

Luo Caicai pointed forward and said: "Go straight ahead here. About 300 feet away, there is a huge cave space. That is the lair of the Demon Blood Bat. Last time I explored there, I had to turn back. ”

"If I didn't have the protective weapon, I'm afraid I would be broken in the mouths of those bats. It's terrible."

"There, you need to resist the bat, and I will support you."

Li Fan nodded.

"Let's go."

He controlled the incandescent fireball and walked forward.

Li Fan did not wield a sword, but directly used his body skills to move around. Later, Luo Caicai also learned the body skills, and his speed was not slow, and he followed step by step.

However, when Li Fan and Luo Caicai had walked about 150 feet, they both suddenly stopped.

In front, there is a slightly wider cave space. On the edge of the cave, there seems to be an artificially dug place, like a medicine garden.

Li Fan was not surprised that a medicinal garden appeared in this place.

It’s not like elixirs must be grown in the sun. Some elixirs like dark and humid places, and some elixirs grow on rocks.

What made Li Fan stop was that there was a... corpse there!
To be precise, it is a bone.

Li Fan looked serious.

He walked to the bones, squatted down, and carefully observed the bones.

Judging from the skeleton, he was a man. He must have been quite burly in life.

Baigu's body is wearing a green robe, with three golden flames embroidered in the shape of characters on the chest.

Luo Caicai screamed.

"This is the costume of the inner disciple of Biyan Palace. He is the core disciple of Biyan Palace."

"Last time I came here, there were no bones like this here!"

Luo Caicai said.

Li Fan frowned.

Biyan Palace is also a sect that cultivates immortals in the southeastern area of ​​Tianyuan Realm. Its status is not comparable to that of Wandao Sect, but it can at least be regarded as the leader among the second-rate sects.

The white bones in front of me, the iconic green robe and the golden flames on the chest can be confirmed to be from the Biyan Palace, and they are also core disciples.

The Biyan Palace is not divided into nine peaks like the Wandao Sect, and there is no personal statement from the disciples.

The core disciples of Biyan Palace are all taught by the same teacher, and their status is equal to that of the direct descendants of Wandao Sect.

The bones of the White Bones are crystal clear, like white jade, and they also contain the color of spiritual power crystals, a bit like low-grade spiritual stones.

This state shows that the core disciple of Biyan Palace in front of him is at least in the early stage of foundation building...
