Taoyuanzi walked along the dark corridor for a long time, passing several forked roads. Although he deliberately chose a path without the scent of other treasure hunters every time, the end of each road was a dead end. It was like
The god of luck had turned away from him, and all that was left was misfortune.
But he didn't care. The treasures of the Silver Chamber Royal Court were not something worth caring about to him. Along the way, what he pursued was experience, what he pursued was to grow through experience and become stronger.
As long as you become stronger, don't you still worry about accumulating treasures? And only by becoming strong enough can you be able to protect your treasures.
In fact, Taoyuanzi carries a lot of treasures. If a senior expert kills him, he will find that he is not killing a mere health cultivator, but a legendary Mimic. He will get enough treasure to make the Immortal Lord
What a surprising and huge gain.
For example, one of his Four Elephant Beads is only a treasure of the Dongxu Realm, but a set of four is enough for those Heavenly Lords who have just entered the Immortal Realm to use them for a long time.
The Four Elephant Beads are just one of his treasures that is relatively not very eye-catching.
Wu Jie, who lacks experience, does not have the consciousness to use the incarnation as a consumable. In his opinion, Taoyuanzi is taking risks for himself. As an upright and kind person, of course he will try his best to match Taoyuanzi with the best.
When it comes to equipment, you really get what you have, as long as it can be used, it doesn't matter the cost at all.
In fact, this approach does not comply with the principle of "incarnation training" - when others send avatars to experience, they usually give them a minimum guarantee, and the rest is all up to the avatars to fight on their own, so that they can experience more.
risk, and get full experience effect.
However, external incarnation training was not a very popular method in the first place, and Wu Jie had very little relevant information at hand. It was inevitable that he would make such a mistake.
Or maybe this is not actually a mistake, but just an inevitable result of Wu Jie's character.
Taoyuanzi thought about these questions casually and walked forward in the darkness unhurriedly.
His steps were very steady, without any hint of impatience or nervousness. Because he didn't care about the treasure and had no urgent goals. His heart was leisurely and his steps were naturally relaxed and calm.
Although... this one is another dead end, another futile effort.
He just smiled, turned around, and continued to look for the next way.
In fact, walking down a few dead ends is nothing. It is said that in order to research electric lights and find more suitable filament materials, the inventor Edison tried more than a thousand kinds of tests before and after, but all failed. Someone comforted him, but he said: "This doesn't count.
If I fail, at least I know that these more than a thousand materials will not work."
The same is true for Taoyuanzi.
He has taken a dead end, a lot of dead ends, so what? At least he already knows that these roads are impassable, and at least he has drawn a big map.
Days passed like this, and he trudged and searched for several years in the dark treasure cave.
This treasure cave obviously used the method of Sumeru Mustard Seed. All in all, the road he walked was enough to cross the entire Mulan Prairie, maybe a round trip - as long as he didn't cross it at the widest place.
But according to the map he drew, it seemed that he had only visited a small corner of the treasure cave.
He felt that the roads in the treasure cave seemed to change, and the pattern of changes was very messy. He had not calculated it yet. But at least he was sure of one thing - even though the tunnels here were poorly protected, he still wanted to use violence to break through the wall.
If you pass it, it is absolutely impossible.
Because not long ago, he met a mouse spirit. The mouse spirit in the early stage of Yang Shen said that he was good at digging holes. He once wanted to dig a hole here to advance, but he was teleported out by an unknown power soon after.
Arrived tens of thousands of miles away.
This rat spirit is quite talkative, perhaps because he recognized that the form Taoyuanzi changed was a scavenger and did not like to eat live food. Apart from being scared out of his wits at the beginning, he quickly regained his composure and returned to the world.
He volunteered to be a guide and explored with Taoyuanzi for a while.
This guy named "Adi" has lived in the Monte Mountains since he was a child. He has spent most of his life in the Monte Mountain treasure cave. He is really a ghost in the ground. His familiarity with the treasure cave simply makes Taoyuan
I was so impressed that this guy knew where he was in the treasure cave just by taking a look and smelling it. He also knew where it was safer to go and where there might be treasures.
During the half year that he traveled with it, Taoyuanzi's luck improved significantly. Although he encountered several very unfriendly monsters one after another and fought several times, he never encountered an enemy that required him to use his real skills.
He has hidden his identity very well.
Half a year later, A Di decided to end this adventure and return to the mountains to continue practicing. Because they found a very good magic weapon in a genuine treasure house. Although the spiritual energy had been almost lost, the abundant spiritual energy contained in it was still.
Extraordinary. Taoyuanzi gave this treasure to Adi, which moved the mouse spirit who had been delayed for thousands of years in the entry stage of Yangshen.
The Mulan Grassland is indeed full of spiritual energy, but the demons here are not good at alchemy. They can only swallow any spiritual herbs they encounter, and they do not digest and absorb them well. Instead, they often accumulate a lot of toxicity in the body - in fact
Toxicity is the nature of a drug, and the power of a drug that cannot be fully absorbed is poison.
It would be fine if it was just poison. The worst thing is that the spiritual veins of the Mulan grassland are also very mixed. This poor rat spirit has no decent skills and can only rely on racial instinct to absorb spiritual energy. Over the years, the body has accumulated
It absorbed a large amount of alien spiritual energy, which seriously hindered its daily practice, so that although its skills were profound, its cultivation level could never be improved.
The spiritual energy contained in this magic weapon is very pure, and it can pierce through the accumulated alien spiritual energy in his body like an awl, allowing it to start a new round of efficient cultivation. And the weapon spirit that is almost exhausted is even more
It will help him remove the useless alien spiritual energy from his body, and may even absorb the poison in his body, which will have the effect of reborn.
In other words, it's a win-win situation.
Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, a powerful true immortal of the rat tribe will appear in the Monte Mountains, and a powerful magic weapon that will bring new life.
After A Di said goodbye and left, Taoyuanzi returned to hunting for treasure alone. And his luck returned to its previous poor state.
There is a dead end after a dead end. Sometimes it is not a dead end, but it is a treasure trove that has been explored by predecessors.
This situation is enough to make ordinary people with strong character feel depressed, but Taoyuanzi doesn't care about it, and even uses it as a way to sharpen her Taoist heart.
It is true that this kind of training is a bit shallow and not very intensive. But as long as it is not in vain, he is a person who is easily satisfied.
On this day - maybe at night, the difference between day and night cannot be clearly seen here - he was walking slowly in the dark corridor and came to another hall. This hall also had four forked paths, and it seemed like there was nothing
Special.
But for some reason, his heart suddenly moved, as if he sensed something from somewhere.
Although this feeling was fleeting, he stopped and frowned.
Different from Wu Jie, who has changed his basic skills, Taoyuanzi's basic skills are the three parts of Fighting God Fire and Thunder. The real core of them is neither the upright Fire Department Zhengfa nor the strange and magnificent Lei Bu Zhengfa, but the gloomy one.
The mysterious Plague Dharma - refined by Wu Jie back then
This Dharma Appearance is in the Duobao Pagoda, in the process of systematically learning the Zhengfa of the Plague Department. Therefore, although the core of his Dharma Appearance is the three sets of fire, thunder, and plague, the core within the core has always been
It was the most advanced and perfect method of Plague Buddhism that he had learned at that time.
Taking the Wenbu Zhengfa as the core technique, Taoyuanzi has some special abilities in terms of "destiny". As an external incarnation, he has lost the innate magical power of his body to absolutely avoid being divinated, but he has also received corresponding compensation -
- He is quite talented in divination, and he can actually have a little control over his own destiny.
For example, before he set off, he consumed countless treasures that would bankrupt a sect like the Zidian Sword Sect, and made up an "origin" for himself. If anyone wants to divine "Yangshen Zhenxian Taoyuanzi", just
They could only divine that "this person is a monk who ascended from a small world called Yuanxiang. He has extraordinary magical power, is on the right path, and is very close to the Yujing sect."
A little inspiration in the dark, it definitely indicates something
Perhaps when ordinary monks encounter this kind of situation, they can only choose to retreat and find a safe place to hide from it for eight thousand years. But Taoyuanzi didn't think so. He pondered for a while and took out a set of precious divination tools.
, and figured it out for myself.
The results of divination show that you may be involved in very important things in the near future, which may involve big risks or big gains.
"A very important thing... what kind of thing can be called very important?" He murmured to himself in a low voice, "Could it be that Dou Shen and Shenmen are finally going to go into full-scale war?"
Thinking about it carefully, this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with him. Even if Dou Shen goes to war with Shenmen, it's Wu Jie's business. His mission is just to practice in the wilderness.
So, could it be that the Montemont treasure cave is going to explode?
"That's not right. Even if the treasure cave explodes and even kills me, it's not a particularly important thing..."
He pondered for a while, shook his head, jumped up, and turned into a very inconspicuous little flying insect.
Not only that, he also used the Plague Dharma to completely cover up the aura of this little flying insect. In this way, unless someone saw it with the naked eye, it would be extremely difficult to detect him with spiritual thoughts.
When he was ready, he continued to set off, moving forward along the path he had just vaguely felt.
This road looks quite ordinary, no different from other roads. There are traces of previous people walking on the road. The traces are so faint that they are almost imperceptible.
The strange thing is that this road is very long. It took almost half a month to fly and we still haven't reached the end yet.
During this period, he had some vague feelings in his heart several times, but they were always vague. He could not be sure whether it was good or bad, let alone what would happen.
He just flew and flew, and finally he came to the end of the corridor.
dead end, worthless dead end
The transformed flying insect of Taoyuanzi wandered around the dead end at the end of the corridor for a long time, but never found any clues.
Could it be...that this is really just an ordinary dead end?
He just thought about it for a while and then threw away this seemingly reasonable explanation.
Ordinary dead end? Which ordinary dead end can make a true immortal of the Yang God who has shed blood and been reborn in the realm be affected?
this is impossible
So he stayed at the end of the corridor, keeping the appearance of turning into a bug, and quietly stopped on the wall. As if he planned to settle down here, he settled down.
This stay lasted for more than two months.
One day more than two months later, he suddenly had that mysterious feeling again, and this time the feeling was very clear, and the direction was... the wall at the end of the corridor.
Taoyuanzi, who transformed into a flying insect, came to the wall at the end of the corridor and observed it carefully.
No matter how you look at it, they are just ordinary walls, nothing special.
So, what is the problem?
After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and used the plague method to penetrate the wall.
This choice is a bit risky, because the walls of Monte Mountain's treasure cave are protected by special formations. Whether you are snooping or destroying, you will trigger the formations and cause yourself to be teleported out.
Of course, a little snooping or a little destruction will not trigger the formation so quickly. According to Ah Di's experience, it is usually not until the third or fourth time that he is teleported away.
So Taoyuanzi decided to take a gamble and see what happened.
The mana penetrated in and immediately touched the formation here. However, the formation only vibrated slightly at first and had no intention of counterattack immediately.
This was consistent with what A Di had said, which made Taoyuanzi feel a little relieved.
Although no clues could be found, at least there is hope that it will not be moved away directly.
He carefully manipulated his magic power and shuttled between the formations, trying to see through the formations to see what was behind them.
After touching the formation again, his mana finally penetrated the entire formation and saw the situation on the other side of the wall.
Over there is a stone room. The construction is quite solid. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into it. Especially the stone slabs on the walls have some simple but artistic patterns, as well as the earthy Monte Monte treasures.
The situation inside the cave is completely different.
"This stone chamber...what exactly is going on?"
He pondered for a while, then used the method of transformation, and turned into a beetle that was good at digging holes in the soil. It dug through the wall along the path that the magic power had taken, and came to the stone chamber.
Because the magic power had already triggered the formations on this path, the journey was quite smooth. Until he entered the stone chamber, the formations were not triggered again.
The inconspicuous beetle turned into a smaller gnat in an instant. It stopped in the most inconspicuous corner of the stone room and carefully observed its surroundings.
It was very quiet inside the stone chamber, with no one around. But there was a teleportation array in the center of the stone chamber, and I don't know what it was used for.
After a long time, the teleportation array suddenly flashed with light, and a horse demon wearing a golden crown walked in.
This horse demon has an extraordinary momentum, and it is already at the peak of the Yang God. It exudes a lot of spiritual light, and it is obvious at a glance that it carries many powerful magic weapons and magic weapons. It can be said that it is armed to the teeth.
Taoyuanzi didn't know this horse demon, but in this Mulan grassland, all horse demons must be people with status and status. Not to mention that this guy has such a high level of cultivation and such a rich net worth, he must be the overlord of the party.
.
Maybe... this guy is an important figure in the Five Horse Dynasty that rules the Mulan Grassland.
Among the five horse dynasties, the most powerful one is an ancestor of the immortal realm, followed by several great elders of the Dongxu realm, and then the princes and ordinary elders of the Yangshen realm. Since this horse demon with a golden crown has
At the peak of Yang Shen's cultivation, he is probably the top figure at the level of prince and elder, and he is almost the most senior ruler in the entire Mulan Grassland in the conventional sense.
Such a person suddenly came to the stone chamber deep in the treasure cave of Monte Mountain, but for what purpose?
Taoyuanzi used the concealment technique of the Plague Department to the extreme, completely covering up her aura, and carefully waited for the next chapter.
The horse demon was obviously not a very patient person. He walked back and forth in the stone room, looking very impatient, and was still talking to himself: "How come the damn profiteers are not punctual at all in doing things?" and so on.
After a while, the teleportation array lit up again, and a figure wrapped in a black robe came out. Taoyuanzi noticed the style of the black robe at a glance, and couldn't help but feel stunned.
"Dahuang Chamber of Commerce? How come the people of Dahuang Chamber of Commerce are so mysterious in their work?"
The Great Wilderness Chamber of Commerce is a loose alliance composed of many large business organizations. It is quite powerful and has cooperative shops in almost every country in the Great Wilderness.
The relationship between the Yujing Sect and the Dahuang Chamber of Commerce cannot be said to be very good, but it is not very bad. Because the Dao Sect has suffered from "accidental" mistakes, they do not allow any outside organizations to station in the inner gate of Yujing. Although the Dahuang Chamber of Commerce
The power is huge, but also
They can only establish a stronghold in the outer gate of Yujing - among the three major cities of the Yujing sect, Qingyunfang and Lichenfang have their shops. As for Xingchenfang, which is located in the inner gate, they have always wanted to be among them.
I opened a shop but never got approval.
Taoyuanzi was wondering when the man wearing the black robe of the Dahuang Chamber of Commerce had already spoken.
"The price you gave is too low. For such a big thing as a joint attack on the Yujing Sect, such a low price is not enough."
