The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

After Xu Zhiyu restored his spiritual power to its peak state, he came out of Brute Force Kui Niu's cave.

Next, he spent a few days touring the Grand Canyon again. During this period, he killed three second-level monsters and harvested the complete corpses of two of them. As for the last one, it was because he did not control the strength well. The body was broken into pieces by him, but it was not wasted. In the end, it was completely devoured by Xiao Jin.

There are also many other gains. Among them, two second-level mid-level monsters each guard a second-level elixir of the same level as themselves. The value is not bad. It is estimated that the total value is worth thirty or forty thousand spiritual stones.

As for the second-level high-grade monster whose body was broken into pieces by him, although it did not protect any valuable elixir, he found a spiritual vein in its cave, a third-level low-grade spiritual vein, which made him speechless. If he discovers an ownerless spiritual vein elsewhere, he will go crazy with joy, and then he will notify his family and do whatever it takes to bring it back to the family, but in the secret realm of Lingxiao Sect, he can only stare. .

Moving spiritual veins is not something he, a foundation-building monk, can do. Even if he could, he wouldn't dare to do it. If you move it, where would you put it? How to take it out? He can't solve any of these problems.

However, it was not entirely without gain. In a remote corner of his cave, he found more than a dozen pieces of black ore the size of a head, with dots of blue light on them, extremely gorgeous. They were a kind of second-level middle-grade refining material. The material of the weapon - black blue stone, can be used to refine second-level magic weapons. It is not particularly precious. The market price of one kilogram of raw ore is only about 20 spirit stones. However, there are a lot of them here, about 500 kilograms. , together they are worth more than 10,000 spirit stones.

He originally suspected that there was a vein of black bluestone here, and thought he could dig out more raw ore, but he didn't expect that he turned the monster cave upside down, and searched in several directions for three whole days with the help of earth escape. Oh my god, but still no clues were found, so I had no choice but to give up.

Thinking that there were countless treasures waiting for him to find in the secret realm outside, he decided not to waste time, and immediately left the canyon, passed through the sea of ​​fire and magma cracks, and came to another place marked on the map, called the Great Wilderness Mountains , and on the jade slip map, the word danger is clearly marked here.

The mountains stretch for thousands of miles and are a favorite place for all trial teams who enter the secret realm. There are countless monsters and resources here. It is even said that there are third-order peak-level monsters growing in the center of the mountains.

Looking up, the mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, hundreds of feet high, like sharp swords piercing the sky, as if they can be as high as the sky, while the mountainside is hazy with clouds and mist, which makes it difficult to see clearly, but it has a unique beauty.

In this area where monsters often appear, it is very irrational to use a flying magic weapon to control the air, so when he was approaching the outside of the mountain range, he dropped his escape light and wanted to choose a suitable route to enter the mountain range.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

Birdsongs suddenly came from above.

Xu Zhiyu hurriedly looked up and saw a dozen giant orange birds flapping their wings in a dense jungle ten miles away to the left of where he was standing. They set off gusts of wind and flew straight into the clouds and snow, flying towards him.

Each of these giant orange birds has a wingspan of nearly six feet, has a pair of black pointed beaks, and has several blue feathers on its forehead. The wings are mainly orange feathers, except for its tail. The three long purple feathers look extremely gorgeous.

The largest one had a wingspan of seven or eight feet. It was at the second-level high-level realm, with sharp eyes. It flapped its wings and came towards him.

The Orange Phoenix Bird is a wind-attributed gregarious bird monster. It is ferocious and cruel. It can reach the strength of the late foundation building stage in its adulthood. There are often a few or even dozens of birds in the group. It is very vindictive. It is good at many wind-attribute spells and has strong strength.

Fighting with so many second-level ferocious birds was obviously not a wise choice, so he immediately took out an invisibility charm and stuck it on his body, restrained all his aura, and then used only his physical strength to run towards the distance.

When the orange phoenix bird saw that the intruder had disappeared, it screamed strangely and kept hovering over the place where Xu Zhiyu was standing. It was only after searching for him repeatedly to no avail that, under the leadership of the leading bird, it returned to the sky. Fly back to the jungle.

After running for seven or eight miles, he started walking slowly and walked about ten miles.

Suddenly, he stopped, and then crouched down beside the grass to ambush, because his consciousness sensed that there seemed to be monks hundreds of feet in front of him, and there were quite a lot of them.

Looking up and looking forward, I saw no more than twenty monks standing there, all of whom were in the late stage of foundation building. The two leaders on both sides also showed a faint aura of being superior to others. No need to ask, this must be The two teams participating in the trial met here unexpectedly.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance of nearly a hundred feet. They faced off for about a cup of tea. They did not speak. Instead, they looked at the opponent's lineup with a few wary glances, silently estimated the opponent's strength, and then left. , it seems that neither side is sure of winning and taking down the other side.

There should be quite a few teams here looking for resources, so this situation is common, but it is just a small episode, not surprising.

It took another half a day before he came to a remote mountain peak. It looked relatively shabby and the mountain peak was relatively short. It was only a few tens of feet high. It couldn't even be called a mountain peak. It should be more appropriately called a dirt bag. , the spiritual energy here is also very thin, it can reach the second level.

After taking out the map to confirm again, he started to circle around the mountain peak, and finally found a cave at the foot of the back mountain. The entrance of the cave was about two feet in diameter. When he looked into the cave, he saw only darkness, and he used his spiritual consciousness to feel it. , found that the cave was empty, but this did not make him disappointed, but made him even more happy.

It turned out that according to the map, someone had seen a horned dragon in this mountain peak. Although this kind of spiritual beast is not of high grade, only the second-level mid-grade, it is a rare spiritual creature requested by the Lingxiao Sect, with a complete head. The body of the earth-horned dragon can hold up to five second-level high-grade monsters, or the more precious five second-grade high-grade elixirs. In this way, they are very valuable, and the cost-effectiveness of capturing them is particularly high.

"I just don't know where Wu Erben got this news from? If my guess is good, I guess it was bought from an old disciple who participated in the true inheritance trial last time. Otherwise, Tujiao would not have been The dragon’s condition and hiding place are so clearly documented.”

Xu Zhiyu said with emotion after looking at the identification of the earth-horned dragon left at the entrance of the cave and looking at the jade slip of the map in his hand.

In fact, his guess was not wrong. Many of the markings on the jade slips on this map were added by Wu Erben himself. The original version of the map issued by the Lingxiao Sect was very brief. In addition to indicating the approximate location and danger level, The rest is empty. After all, this is a trial. It is impossible to indicate all the information and potential dangers to you one by one. Otherwise, what is the point of the trial? It’s better to set up an arena to compete!

The True Inheritance Trial tests comprehensive qualities. Combat strength, strategy, leadership, intelligence collection, luck, etc. are all indispensable. The sect can only provide a relatively fair platform as much as possible. As for the rest, It depends on each disciple who participates in the trial. As long as it does not violate the rules, you can do it. In order to make those annotations, Wu Erben spent a lot of money. He would exchange the tens of thousands of contribution points for the fourth-level magic weapon and hand over the sect's fourth-level weapon refining inheritance. Basically, he spent all of it, just to collect the secrets in the secret realm. These detailed information, such as where there may be valuable elixirs, or where gregarious monsters that are easy to hunt live, or where there may be great dangers, were all found out one by one before being marked on the map.

However, these cannot be fully believed, because many of them are 30% fact and 70% speculation. After all, people who enter the secret realm are doing it for the trial, so how can they have the free time to record all the terrain and landforms they pass by? They will only be impressed when they encounter resources or fight monsters. This part is more valuable and more real. As for the other parts, it may be conjecture and not very valuable. Wu Erben also These are all marked very thoughtfully. The sources of information that can be determined are in red, and the ones that are mostly guessed are in yellow.

I heard that the maps in the hands of trial teams with big backers are much more detailed than the ones in his hands. Eighty percent of the areas in the secret realm are marked in detail. But don’t be jealous. Their information is not obtained by cheating. Yes, it is accumulated bit by bit in these dozens of trials. This is not a violation of the rules. If you want to blame it, it can only be blamed on you for not having such a good life to find such a big backer!

After Xu Zhiyu looked around, he thought that the Terraceratops was probably out hunting. This guy was very greedy. He went out hunting basically every day and had a huge appetite. He was not slow with his hands. He took out the Three Talents Talisman Array directly from his pocket, injected a little spiritual power into it, and in a state of inaction, he took out three invisibility talismans and pasted them on the three spiritual talismans of heaven, earth and people that formed the talisman array. , the Sancai Talisman Formation disappeared.

The position of his talisman array is extremely clever. No matter which direction the earth-horned dragon returns home from hunting, it will fall into his trap.

At the same time, in order to lower the vigilance of the Earth Horned Dragon, he took out a purple spiritual fruit three times the size of his fist from his storage bag. This was something he had picked in the Grand Canyon before. It was a first-class high-grade spiritual fruit and the taste was quite delicious. , I think the greedy Earth Horned Dragon will not be tempted.

He stretched out a finger, condensed his spiritual energy slightly, and lightly scratched the surface of the spirit fruit a few times. Suddenly the spirit fruit broke into many pieces. He took the pulp and threw it all irregularly around the cave. After doing this, he controlled the flying sword and headed towards the mountain. He hid behind a big rock about three hundred feet away from the entrance of the cave, and began to wait quietly from a high position.

Soon more than two hours passed, and the sun above the head slowly moved from the center to the west position, and was about to set.

At this moment, a dark-yellow figure suddenly appeared in his eyes, moving from far to near, from small to large, and gradually the sound of rustling and crawling came to his ears. As the sound became louder and louder As he got closer, he saw a dark-yellow monster with a light green horn on its head, shining with green light, appearing not far from the entrance of the cave.

Its body is about two feet long, and there is a slender tail trailing behind it, which is covered with down. The whole body is covered with a layer of thin scale armor, which is dark yellow, and there is an unknown monster in its mouth. A certain part of the beast's body. It seemed that it had gained a lot today. The prey was not eaten on the spot, and leftovers were brought back.

It was running forward happily, and was about to enter the trap set by the talisman array, but it seemed to find something wrong. It first put the monster meat in its mouth on the ground, and then looked around It walked around and finally sniffed with its huge nostrils.

Seeing its performance like this, Xu Zhiyu was obviously sweating, because he didn't know whether the Terraceratops had discovered the existence of the trap, but its subsequent performance dispelled his worries.

I saw the earth-horned dragon sniffing and crawling forward slowly, and soon came to the first piece of spiritual fruit fragments. Without thinking too much, I swallowed it in one gulp, and then showed a very satisfied expression on its face. Continuing to crawl forward, it seemed that he found another piece of spiritual fruit.

After eating several pieces of spiritual fruit outside the trap, the vigilance of the earth-horned dragon gradually decreased, and it walked step by step towards the entrance of the cave, because that was where Xu Zhiyu had scattered the most pieces of spiritual fruit.

The earth horned dragon shook its huge head, looked at the entrance of the cave with a pair of small eyes, snorted, and then walked forward again without noticing the danger at all.

It's now!

Xu Zhiyu's powerful spiritual consciousness was released, activating the Sancai Talisman Array from a distance of hundreds of feet. A white light flashed through, trapping the Earth-horned Dragon in a three-foot-long, wide, and high space before it could react. In a large square screen.

Then he glared at his feet and drove the flying sword to the place where the Earth-horned Dragon was trapped. Naturally, this monster was not willing to sit still and wait for death. At this time, it was frantically hitting the talisman array in an attempt to escape, but it was all. It's all in vain. The main function of his Three Talents Array is to encircle him. How can he let his prey escape easily?

When the magic talisman was about to run out of spiritual power, he directly withdrew the talisman array. Seeing this situation, the Earth-horned Dragon was overjoyed. He was about to use his talent to escape from the earth, but half of his limbs had already entered the earth, but Xu Zhiyu had also already had it. After getting ready, the god-killing stimulus that had long been compressed into a thorn-like shape in the sea of ​​​​consciousness shot out, and pierced the sea of ​​consciousness of the Earth Horned Dragon between lightning and flint. The latter whimpered and then fell silent.

"Today's harvest is good. This Earth-horned Dragon is worth two hundred thousand spiritual stones. I just don't know how valuable it is, but Lingxiao Sect actually wants to spend a lot of spiritual stones to reward its body?"

Before he could finish his emotion, his spiritual consciousness sensed that six or seven monks were rushing towards this direction. He quickly put the body of the earth-horned dragon into a storage bag, affixed an invisibility charm, and quickly Left this place.

After a few breaths, six monks and a spiritual beast indeed appeared. One person walked out of the team, went to the entrance of the cave and explored the surrounding area, then turned to report to the leader:

"Captain, there should have been a monk here hunting a horned dragon just now. His method was clever. He should have killed it effortlessly with the help of auxiliary means such as formations!"

"It's actually an earth-horned dragon that can be worth five second-level high-grade monsters. I don't know which team had such good luck to ambush it. It left so fast just now that there was no chance to say hello. Maybe it's a fellow disciple that I know in the sect!" The captain was a monk dressed as a rich man. He first looked around, then turned around and said.

"Captain, according to what I observed from the scene, the monk who ambushed this beast should be one person." The man just now continued.

"Is it impossible to be alone? This wild mountain range is extremely dangerous. Our team of ten people originally acted together, but four of them were attacked and killed by monsters. Who has the courage to come here alone?" Some people don't believe it. , questioned loudly.

"That's not necessarily true, right? Fellow Daoist Wang just said that the monks who ambush the Earth-horned Dragon used formations. If He Wushuang is like that, he can still come and go freely in this wild mountain range with the help of formations. She..."

Another person in the team said, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the captain. He didn't want his team members to say words that would enhance others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige. His team was already in trouble because of the death of several monks. Feeling depressed and demoralized!

Afterwards, they entered the Tuoceratops cave and searched it again, eager to find some valuable resources, but they were destined to be disappointed. There was nothing inside, not even a root of grass.

At this time, Xu Zhiyu was riding a flying sword and rushed to the next place where spiritual objects might exist. (End of chapter)
