Li Yuanba descended on another mountain peak. From here, he could observe the positions of Elder Jinggeng and the others. The distance between the two sides was not too far.
His body sank into the soil, and the ground automatically separated. As his body entered the underground, the ground automatically merged again, leaving no trace at all.
This is the innate ability of corpse refining to hide oneself in the earth. This innate ability is even more effective than some secret methods of hiding aura.
Li Yuanba rarely used the corpse refining state, and he felt very strange at this time.
After sinking into the ground, he didn't feel suffocated at all. Instead, the energy from the earth made him feel comfortable.
Of course, although this kind of ordinary underground can feel comfortable and benefit oneself, its impact is extremely weak. With his level, he may have to stay underground for hundreds of years before he can accumulate the third-level spirit in the human state.
The energy gained from months of elixir cultivation.
This is the gap. The reason why human monks can unify the world is because human monks can make greater use of cultivation resources.
Although he sank underground, through the drone satellite system, Elder Jinggong and the others could still detect any movement.
The Great Elder Jing Geng did not move during the whole day, until it was getting dark, Dong Wei began to put away the formation, and thirty-three Jindan monks restored the Mysterious Mist Formation.
During this period, the drone satellite system focused on the changes on the top of the mountain. The time between the formation being put away and the thirty-three golden elixir monks forming the mysterious formation of black mist, the infrared mode discovered them.
Li Yuanba's body emerged from the soil, but there was no soil on his body.
When Great Elder Jing Geng and the others were taking action, he also used ‘Step by Step to Live Lotus’ to follow them.
This time, Elder Jinggong and the others were significantly faster. They were constantly changing directions among the peaks, and were always able to avoid the peak where the big demon was.
Whether it was their good luck or sufficient preparation, they marched for another four hours and did not encounter the big demon again.
Li Yuanba looked at the map. This place had penetrated deep into the core area of the Nanyuan Mountains. Elder Jinggong and the others in front had slowed down and would conduct repeated inspections every time they moved forward.
Li Yuanba is simple. As long as he follows the path opened by Elder Jinggeng, he doesn't need to worry about spiritual beasts.
From the looks of Elder Jinggeng and the others, he seemed to be almost ready to reach their target.
While they were thinking about it, thirty-three Jindan monks fell downwards. They were originally flying at a low altitude and quickly landed on the ground.
"Be ready to fight at any time!" Elder Jinggeng issued an order in a deep voice.
No one knows how much the Linghe Sect and Wuya Sect paid in order to reach here smoothly this time.
Finally reaching the target location, he was extremely excited.
His eyes were full of hope. This might be his chance to change his destiny, and he had to seize it even if it cost him everything.
Since this place has reached the core area of the Nanyuan Mountains, the number of great monsters is extremely large, which in turn has greatly reduced the number of first- and second-level spirit beasts.
Elder Jinggeng led the way to the foot of the cliff.
He slowly moved a boulder away, revealing a cave.
Except for him, the other Jindan monks all showed expressions of surprise and curiosity.
This operation was entirely under the command of Grand Elder Jing Geng. They only knew that this time they were going to Shiwan Mountain to retrieve a treasure. This treasure was related to whether their power could produce a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
But only Elder Jing Geng knows the specific location of the treasure.
"Dong Wei, you leave two people up there and use all the prepared formation flags to cover up the entrance of the cave. If there is a spirit beast attacking, try to delay it for as long as possible!" Elder Jinggeng ordered the battle method master Dong Wei.
"No problem, Great Elder!" Dong Wei nodded and responded.
He took out the third-level formation flags and placed them one by one around the entrance of the cave. Soon, the entrance of the cave disappeared from Li Yuanba's sight.
It also made it impossible for Li Yuanba to observe the mouth patterns of the great elder Jing Geng through his ‘spiritual vision’, and thus identify the words of the great elder Jing Geng with lip language.
But he was already sure that this cave was where the treasure was.
He waited for a cup of tea before his figure flashed into the formation.
As early as when Dong Wei arranged the formation flags, before activating the formation, he saw the position of the formation flags arranged by Dong Wei, and from this point he recognized the formation used.
Dong Wei's formation inheritance is not a particularly special formation inheritance, it is a typical formation inheritance from the Northern Shu continent.
In the database of IBMz15, Li Shiming's natal magic weapon, there is detailed information about Dong Wei's current formation. This makes Li Yuanba not even need to break the formation, but directly relies on his familiarity with the formation to use 'Bu Bu Sheng Lotus' to suddenly appear.
Within the formation.
Li Yuanba stood in the formation. The distance between him, Dong Wei and the other two Golden Elixir monks was only three meters, but Dong Wei and the two Golden Elixir monks did not notice his presence.
For a formation master, the formation is his own weapon, but when the opponent's formation level is higher than himself, this weapon may become the opponent's weapon.
Just like now, although Li Yuanba is not a formation master, his real body Li Shiming is, which means that Li Yuanba also has the ability of a formation master.
Not to mention how a formation master from a medium-sized sect could compare with Li Shiming, a formation master.
Regardless of the help that the natal magic weapon IBMz15 gave Li Shiming, which gave Li Shiming analytical computing capabilities that other formation masters could not match, Li Shiming's total formation knowledge far exceeded Dong Wei.
Li Shiming's formation knowledge system is divided into the part obtained from Tianhai Island, the part obtained from Shushan Sect, the part obtained from Senluo Sect, the formation inheritance he received from various Jindan monks as an alchemy master, and the part obtained from Tianxing Merchant.
The formation book obtained from Ancestor Zhao.
This knowledge of formations is what makes Li Shiming far superior to other formation masters. At least in the Beishu continent, there is no formation master whose total amount of formation knowledge can compare with him.
Li Yuanba entered the formation and used the power of the formation to block the space between him, Dong Wei and the two Jindan monks.
He did not attack these three golden elixir monks. With his combat power, he could kill these three golden elixir monks in one breath at most.
He bypassed the three Jindan monks in the formation, passed through the formation and entered the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a sense of relief. The place was full of cold energy, which was the most conducive environment for corpse refining.
He saw patterns engraved on the cave wall. These were isolation patterns engraved with second-grade materials, which could prevent the cave from being discovered.
There are isolation patterns every five meters, ensuring the concealment of the entire cave to the greatest extent.
This is the Nanyuan Mountains. It is not an easy task to arrange so many isolation patterns here.
Every time you come here, you have to take a huge risk, and the spiritual power will fluctuate during the inscription, so every inscription needs to be made sure that there are no powerful spiritual beasts nearby before it can be carried out.
Moving forward along the cave, you enter the heart of the mountain.
Li Yuanba felt that the spiritual energy was getting stronger and stronger. There should be a very high-level spiritual vein deep in the cave, but he didn't know whether it was a golden elixir-level spiritual vein or a higher-level Nascent Soul-level spiritual vein.
The rich spiritual energy is mixed with even stronger cold energy.
Stopping his progress, he sensed the aura of the Golden Core cultivator in front of him.
It seems that they are isolated from the aura and inside the mountain, so Elder Jinggeng and the others no longer hide their own aura. Of course, they will not intentionally emit their own aura.
Li Yuanba, who was also in the cave, could clearly sense the location of these golden elixir monks.
He didn't move forward. He didn't care about other Jindan monks, but he sensed danger from Elder Jinggeng.
There is no obvious spiritual power fluctuation in front, which means that the other party has not yet taken action to obtain the treasure.
He was extremely curious in his heart, what kind of treasure was here that made Grand Elder Jing Geng use so many golden elixir monks to come here.
Deep in the cave, Elder Jinggong stood in a gap, looking at the huge space below.
This place was accidentally discovered by the master of the great elder Jing Geng. At that time, his master was collecting elixirs in Shiwanda Mountain and was discovered by a monster and pursued him.
While running for his life, he accidentally entered a crack. Not only did he escape the pursuit of the big demon, but he also made an unexpected discovery.
The crack was very deep, and there was a big demon outside, which made his master keep looking inward.
His master mastered the secret method of shrinking, passed through several gaps that were so small that only young children could pass through, and went deep into the belly of the mountain, and surprisingly found that the cracks brought him to a space inside the mountain.
First of all, his master sensed the changes in the spiritual energy. There was actually a Nascent Soul-level spiritual vein here. The value of this Yuanying-level spiritual vein alone was unimaginable.
Of course, if you want to collect spiritual veins, you need the Nascent Soul Ancestor to do it.
However, you can get sufficient returns by selling the information to Yuanying Patriarch or a large trading house.
His master made a great discovery in that space. For this great discovery, he went deep into this place many times, reopened the passage, and made some concealments.
Unfortunately, Elder Jinggeng’s master did not wait for the harvest and died, leaving this big secret to Elder Jinggeng.
For so many years, Grand Elder Jinggeng has been sending people to explore the information leading to the core of the Nanyuan Mountains.
Finally, Grand Elder Jing Geng waited for an opportunity, and he had the strength to use the great discovery. He felt that all of this was a miracle given to him by God.
Some of the golden elixir monks beside Elder Jing Geng were also secretly looking at the space outside the gap.
Apart from the rich spiritual energy, they only saw a calm water surface.
This water is definitely not ordinary. They are in a gap, dozens of meters away from the water, but they can still feel the cold air radiating from the water.
Such cold air would have turned into ice long ago if it were ordinary pool water.
But there was no trace of ice on the water in front of me, and it was just dead.
"All wait on the water. There is a fourth-grade lotus here. This time our goal is this fourth-grade lotus. Once the fourth-grade lotus is born, it needs to be picked immediately. No matter who picks it, you must pay
Get it into my hands!" Elder Jing Geng said in a deep voice to the golden elixir monks beside him.
After hearing his words, the eyes of all the golden elixir monks flashed with light.
Although Grand Elder Jing Geng did not explain clearly what the fourth-grade lotus flower is, it is unimaginable in the world of immortal cultivation that the value of a spiritual object that reaches the fourth grade is unimaginable, let alone a special lotus flower among spiritual objects.
Lotus spiritual objects have always been special treasures. For example, the golden lotus, a spiritual object, can purify spiritual energy, and there are various spiritual objects, lotus flowers, each of which has a special function and is the top existence among spiritual objects.
It is conservatively estimated that the resources that can be exchanged for the fourth-grade lotus are enough for them to cultivate to the level of great elder. They may even become Nascent Soul by relying on this fourth-grade lotus.
Although not all Jindan monks have this kind of mentality, who would not have any ideas when faced with treasures that can affect the future of cultivation.
Twenty-nine Jindan monks flew out of the gap and floated above the water.
They suddenly discovered that for some reason the Great Elder Jinggong did not come to the space through the gap with them.
Moreover, Elder Jing Geng patted the gap with his hand, and a formation of light sealed the gap.
"Great Elder, what are you going to do?" A Jindan monk realized something was wrong and asked loudly.
Some Jindan monks are more direct. After taking out the magic weapon, they will launch an attack at the gap.
Just when they were mobilizing their spiritual power, the calm water suddenly began to roll.
Strips of black, foul-smelling roots stretched out from under the water and rolled towards the Golden Elixir monk above.
Although the space is nearly thirty meters high and the area is quite large, there are so many black and smelly roots in the water that the twenty-nine Golden Core cultivators have no room to move around.
These golden elixir monks would not sit still and wait for death, and used magic weapons to attack the black and smelly roots.
The black and smelly roots were not solid and exploded one after another with the attack of the magic weapon.
At first, the Golden Elixir monk was still happy. The black and smelly roots looked scary, but their power was really limited.
But after a while, they couldn't be happy anymore, because after the black and smelly roots exploded, a large poisonous mist was formed.
At the same time, after the magic weapon came into contact with the black and smelly roots, there was an obvious feeling that the control was not working properly. This was because it was eroded by the poison of the black and smelly roots.
The Golden Pill monks used various methods to expel poison. Some of them used magic weapons to form a protective shield, some used spells to blow away the poisonous mist, and some took out antidote pills to avoid poisoning.
If the poison that can corrode magic weapons is contaminated on the body, the consequences will be extremely terrible.
The monk's body was far inferior to the defensive power of the magic weapon, and the magic weapon was affected. The Golden Elixir monks worked hard to use various means to stop the poisonous mist.
In the short term, their method was effective. The poisonous mist was blocked by the protective shield and blown aside by the spell.
However, the black and smelly roots extending upward in the water have not stopped, and are still stretching out. I really don't know what exists under the water. The black and smelly roots seem to be endless.
The golden elixir monks can only attack continuously. Once the magic weapon is affected, they will change the magic weapon. The magic weapon cannot be used. There are also talismans. If it doesn't work, they will spend time casting spells.
