Mortal Cultivation: I Have a Mirror of Absurdity

Chapter 29 29 Shaoyang Cave Mansion

"Herbs that are three to five hundred years old, or killing demons to get elixirs?"

On the way back to his home, Wang Geng began to think about future plans.

After advancing to the middle stage of foundation building, Wang Geng can no longer buy suitable elixirs in the market. If he wants to take a lot of drugs without hesitation as before, he can only find ways to purchase resources from some medium and large forces. , or go directly to the alien sea to kill monsters and get pills.

The former method requires knowing the people among these forces who can decide the allocation of resources. This is something Wang Geng does not have, so this method is almost impossible to implement.

When he went to the alien sea to kill monsters and get pills, Wang Geng thought that he still couldn't kill the fifth-level monsters by himself.

The strength of the fifth-level monsters is almost as strong as that of human monks in the early stages of forming a core. Even the weakest among them requires many mid- to late-stage foundation-building monks to form a team to hunt them down. If Wang Geng goes alone, even if there are With the help of the Yin-Yang Infinite Formation and four powerful magic weapons, even if you are not careful, you will end up dead.

Wang Geng did not dare to take risks easily until he was absolutely sure.

Old Demon Han was able to hunt down a large number of fifth-level monsters in the middle stage of foundation building. In addition to powerful methods such as exercises and formations, his biggest reliance was the Demonic Corpse Song Soul that had advanced to the fake elixir realm. One person can fight against the fifth-level monsters alone for a period of time, which gave Han Laomo the opportunity to hunt hundreds of fifth-level monsters.

But Wang Geng doesn't have a killer weapon like Quhun. The Jinghong Double Needle only has 30% to 40% of the power of ordinary magic weapons, and the Xuanjing Divine Fire Shield only has 40% to 50% of the power of ordinary magic weapons. They can't kill level five monsters at all, and Yin and Yang The Wuji Formation can trap ordinary level five monsters for several hours, but it can only trap the enemy and has no means of attack.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Geng to go to the alien sea to kill monsters and obtain elixirs like Old Demon Han.

"Can we only team up with others to kill monsters in the alien sea?"

The income from teaming up with multiple people to hunt monsters will definitely be reduced many times, but the best thing is safety. If there is really no other way, Wang Geng can only make this decision.

He didn't dare risk his own life.

After spending four years in the Fire Room at Huoyang Peak, Wang Geng now returned to his home. Looking at the cave in front of him where he had lived for five years, he suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of intimacy in his heart.

After using the prohibition token to open the large array at the entrance of the cave, Wang Geng just wanted to step into the cave, but saw two objects floating in the air at the entrance of the cave.

He took a closer look, but it turned out to be two flying letters.

Wang Geng stretched out his hand and took both flying letters into his hand, then opened them one by one and read them.

The content of the two letters is basically the same, but the time is slightly different.

One is from a year ago and the other is from ten days ago.

The content of the letter is to invite Wang Geng to visit the palace, saying that we have important matters to discuss.

The owner of the letter was sent by a neighbor of Wang Geng, whose cave is located at Feiyunju, two miles away from Zuowangju.

Wang Geng didn't want to pay attention to the letter at first, but when he saw the signature of the letter, his heart moved, and finally decided to visit the other party.

Thinking of this, Wang Geng immediately exited the cave, closed the protective formation again, and then walked towards Feiyunju.

The owner of Feiyunju is an ugly young man in his twenties, who is also in the middle stage of foundation building. When he saw Wang Geng outside the cave formation, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with sudden realization: "This fellow Taoist is sitting in the cave." Master Wangju, I am Li Tianqiao, a direct disciple of Aoki Tongzi from Suxing Island. I have invited you twice before, and today I have finally received my Taoist friend. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

"I, Wang Geng, have met fellow Daoist Li."

Under Li Tianqiao's enthusiastic guidance, Wang Geng walked into Feiyunju.

When he entered the living room, he saw another young monk with a yellow face sitting in the room drinking tea. When he saw Wang Geng, he immediately stood up and saluted with clasped fists.

After exchanging names, we learned that the yellow-faced young man was called Ma Jun, who was also in the middle stage of foundation building. He was a recent friend of Li Tianqiao. He was invited here today to discuss a major matter.

"I have invited Fellow Daoist Wang long ago, but I have never had a chance to meet him. I didn't expect that I happened to come with Fellow Daoist Ma today. It really makes my humble house shine..."

After the three of them sat down, Li Tianqiao was polite at first, and then told a strange thing.

More than ten years ago, Li Tianqiao had just entered the middle stage and traveled for a while.

This person accidentally picked up a jade slip in a cave in a barren mountain, which recorded the life story of a monk in the late stage of alchemy in Xiusing Island eight hundred years ago.

This monk in the late stage of alchemy formation is a Taoist priest with the dharma name ‘Shao Yangzi’. Not only is his cultivation skills unfathomable, he is also a master of alchemy, especially good at cultivating spiritual herbs and elixirs and refining elixirs.

It is a pity that this person did not advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the end, and passed away after his final deadline came.

This person had no descendants or descendants, so he left behind a large amount of treasures, elixirs and medicinal herbs.

After this news spread, in the first few decades after Shao Yangzi's death, many monks came to Xiusing Island every year to search for the location of his cave, but in the end they all came to no avail.

As a result, gradually no one came to look for Shao Yangzi's cave, and it slept silently somewhere in the waters of Xiusing Island for more than 800 years.

Today, the reason why Li Tianqiao mentioned this matter was because the jade slip he picked up actually recorded the location of Shaoyangzi Cave Mansion.

"After several years of searching, Li has found the location of Shaoyangzi's cave. However, the protective formation outside the cave is so powerful that it cannot be broken except by monks in the Dan Formation stage. So Li found two people, Brother Ma. His skills are sharp and he has an irresistible relationship with Li, and the big formation that Brother Wang arranged at the entrance of the cave a few years ago seems to be unusually powerful. How about you two go explore the Shaoyangzi Cave with Li and share the treasure together?"

Li Tianqiao talked about the past with excitement, and also revealed that the purpose of inviting Wang Geng and Ma Jun here was to explore the 'Shaoyang Cave'.

After Wang Geng and Ma Jun heard what Li Tianqiao said, they looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Wang Geng's trip was originally for Li Tianqiao's identity.

This person is the direct disciple of Aoki Douji, the deputy island master of Susei Island. He should have a way to obtain a considerable amount of elixirs or medicinal herbs that increase cultivation during the foundation period. If you make good friends with him, you may have the opportunity to obtain a batch of the above resources. .

Now after listening to what the other party said, I suddenly felt a little overjoyed.

This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get there.

If Shao Yangzi is really a master of alchemy and left behind so many good things, after breaking the formation, Wang Geng doesn't need to take anything else. He only needs to share twenty or thirty pills or a dozen or three to five hundred pills. With the help of the absurd mirror, you won’t have to worry about the elixirs before the elixir was formed.

Although Wang Geng had made up his mind to go to Shaoyang Cave to hunt for treasures, Wang Geng did not express his position immediately. Instead, he elaborated on some of the details.

There are certain things that you must ask and explain clearly in advance, otherwise conflicts are very likely to break out when you come to Shaoyang Cave Mansion in the future when interests are at stake.

Wang Geng was about to ask Li Tianqiao some questions when he saw Ma Jun across from him suddenly became eager to give it a try. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he had something to say, so he closed his mouth.

"I dare to ask fellow Daoist Li, since the guarding restriction outside Shaoyang Cave cannot be broken except by the alchemy monks, how can we, the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, break it? Brother Li is a direct disciple of Qingmu Tongzi, so why didn't he find a master if he couldn't break the formation? Are you looking for help from the two of us? After breaking the formation, how will the treasures, elixirs and herbs be distributed?"
