Unexpectedly, they searched everywhere in the mountain stream, but found nothing! Except for the rolling sand and turbid waters, there was no trace of the Yuebaidan monk and his several fifth-level spiritual beasts!
The leader of Qingpao Village was surprised when he heard the reports from everywhere. Surrounded by his men, he also went into the water to search carefully, and sure enough, there was no trace of Gu Qing.
The leader of Qingpao Village in Zhumazhai sent people to search almost the entire mountain stream, but found nothing.
The monks under our hands all sighed: "Strange! Where can this kid escape? Our fortification formation covers a radius of dozens of miles, and even the waters of Hujian Gorge are sealed. It is absolutely impossible to cross."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They had lived in Zhumazhai for a long time and had full confidence in their own stronghold defense formation. Not to mention trapping a monk on the third level of body cultivation, even the old monster Ningdan couldn't even think of breaking through it for a moment!
The leader of the Qingpao village frowned and said in a deep voice: "This kid must be hiding with water concealment skills. Keep searching! Strengthen the defenses in Hujian Gorge and Shanjian waters, and be sure to catch all the fifth-level spirits of this kid.
beast."
Everyone agreed with a loud voice and were about to stand ready to patrol the mountains, rivers and waters at all times.
However, at this moment, Zhumazhaifang City was in chaos. Hundreds of monks who came here to trade were panicked. They didn’t know why the village owner of Zhumazhai activated the defensive formation, and the entire Zhumazhai was trapped.
In the large formation, they mistakenly thought that the leader of the village had evil intentions and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Master Peng, what do you mean? Why don't you let us out?"
"Yes! Master Peng, we are all regular customers who often come to Zhumazhaifang City. Many of them are local monks. You take care of the monks from far away. We don't dare to object, but you imprison us together."
, what is this?”
Faced with the doubts of the monks who came here to trade, the leader of Peng Village, who was dressed in green robes, could only hold his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient and stay in our village for a while until we catch this spy.
, will naturally enlarge the guy to get out. If the stronghold defense formation is activated rashly, the spy will have many spiritual beasts with him, and his strength cannot be underestimated, so he must take the opportunity to escape!"
In order to prevent the hundreds of monks from mutinying, the leader of Peng Village had no choice but to coax and deceive Gu Qing as a spy trying to sneak into their Zhumazhai. In order to calm people's hearts, he ordered the major shops in Zhumazhai to hold trade fairs and auctions.
Yes, I will show the treasures at the bottom of the box so that these hundreds of monks can stay in Zhumazhaifang City with peace of mind.
At this time, under the mud deep in the mountain stream, Gu Qing had already hidden himself with a cobblestone array, avoiding the repeated underwater inspections of the Zhumazhai monks.
Gu Qing was afraid that the sand at the bottom of the stream was too soft, and it would not be easy for the monks from Zhumazhai to search for every inch of soil.
So he ordered the Ice Rock Beast and the Red Fire Green-tailed Leopard to dig holes along the soft sand under the array plate, and they continued to sink. They almost dived five or six miles into the bottom of the stream, and stopped when they encountered a hard sixth-order rock.
After that, Gu Qing ordered the Ice Rock Beast to fill up the silt and seal the cave above, and then asked the Ice Butterfly to fan the ice wind, completely freezing the cave wall, leaving only an underground cave with a radius of more than ten feet.
After everything was arranged properly, Gu Qing let out a sigh of relief: "In this way, there is a cobblestone array covering the top, and the mud in the middle is as thick as five miles. They have completely drained the mountain stream water, and in the mud of the mountain stream
Even if you dig everywhere for ten days and ten nights, you may not be able to find me!"
Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan's star-like eyes showed a cold look: "Now that Gu is behind bars, he happens to be in retreat in this underground cave! Anyway, I am not far away from breaking through to the fourth level of body cultivation. I have the best hundred meridians.
Why does it take several days to advance to the middle stage of cultivating with spiritual pills? By that time, all my spirit beasts can advance to the sixth level! No matter how many cultivators there are in the village, how can they stop my progress?
"
Gu Qing suppressed his anger towards Zhumazhai, swallowed two top-quality Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pills, and continued his daily practice without any distractions.
After Gu Qing circulated through the Big and Small Zhoutian and completely absorbed the spiritual energy of these two top-grade Hundred Meridians Spirit Pills, he immediately took out a large number of top-grade Spirit Grass Spirit Fruits, which filled the underground cave with a size of more than ten feet, making this place
The aura suddenly became intense.
Gu Qing continued to sit cross-legged and meditate in this home-made place with rich spiritual energy.
As time passed day by day, Gu Qing faintly touched the edge of the fourth level of Yangxing.
At this time, no trace of Gu Qing could be found in Zhumazhai for several days. Not only the monks in Fang City were complaining, but even the subordinates of the leader of Pengzhai complained all day long. The search was too hard but nothing was found.
Therefore, many people even wondered whether Gu Qing had run away long ago, and they were still looking for him day after day like fools.
In particular, Zhumazhai has a dangerous terrain and is located at the strategic point from east to west. Most of the monks escaping from the Puppet Immortal Gate and Giant Wooden City have to pass through Zhumazhai, and the defensive array has not been opened, so they keep entering.
If you don't come, you can only go around tens of thousands of miles and turn eastward somewhere else, which even arouses the dissatisfaction of the passing monks.
Leader Peng Zhai was busy every day, appeasing the monks stationed in the stronghold, and confronting the monks passing by outside the stronghold. However, he was old and strong after all, and he was very stubborn about searching for Gu Qing.
Under tremendous pressure, he still deployed his defenses every day, waiting for Gu Qing to take the bait.
Another three days passed, and the monks stationed in the village were eager to see what was going on. Hundreds of people came to discuss the matter with Master Peng.
"Seven days have passed! Master Peng, will you let him go?"
"In the past few days, more and more monks have gathered outside the fortification defense formation, and they have been scolding the formation every day. Even those of us who came here to trade innocently have been scolded. If Master Peng doesn't open the fortification defense formation, we will be scolded."
The formation has alarmed the old monster Ningdan nearby, I don’t think you can eat it and walk around!”
The leader of Peng Village, who was dressed in a green robe, was really haggard in the past seven days, but he still managed to cheer up and pretended to smile: "Don't worry, everyone, we have been waiting for seven days, what's the harm in waiting a few more days? We are stationed here
Not only does Mazhai not charge you for your stay, but it also gives you two hundred spirit stones every day, isn't that enough? Ahem, don't worry, I want to see how long that boy in the moon-white satin gown can endure?"
Everyone saw that the leader of Peng Village was determined to compete with the boy, and it was inconvenient for them to fight with the monks stationed in the village, so they had to continue to endure.
Another day later, in the underground cave at the bottom of the deep stream, Gu Qing sat cross-legged and meditated for a long time, adjusting his inner breath to keep his physical strength and magic power at their peak. Then he swallowed two top-quality Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pills and began to cultivate his body.
The fourth level of realm!
As the rich spiritual energy of the two Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pills sank into the Dantian, gradually passing through the meridians of the body and spreading throughout the limbs and bones, Gu Qing's entire aura changed accordingly!
boom!
Strong wind ripples spread out from Gu Qing's body and swayed on the frozen cave wall, alerting the Ice Rock Beast and Ice Butterfly King who were guarding the side.
The Ice Butterfly King was startled, and when he saw the change in his master's aura, he said with surprise and joy: "Congratulations, master, for finally being promoted to the middle stage of cultivation!"
Gu Qing slowly opened his eyes, stood up from his cross-legged meditation, and exuded a compelling aura! Regardless of physical strength, magic power, strength and movement skills, Gu Qing was much stronger than before!
He looked at the frozen mud roof of the underground cave, his eyes cold and firm, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "When Gu returns to the light of day, your Zhumazhai will be destroyed!"
Immediately, while Gu Qing swallowed the Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pill to consolidate his cultivation that had just advanced to the fourth level of body cultivation, he immersed his mind and soul into the white jade gourd in the belly of the golden ant, and began to work in the spiritual field of Xingya in the Immortal Mansion.
, planting a large number of fifth-level top-grade spiritual grass and spiritual fruits.
In addition, Gu Qing also set up the Qiyao Dan Furnace to refine the best elixirs and elixirs suitable for the four spiritual beasts.
"Ice rock beast! These top-grade ice spirit fruits and ice spirit liquid belong to you, please advance to the sixth level as soon as possible!"
The first thing Gu Qing thought of was the Ice Rock Beast, which had always been loyal to its master. Although the Ice Rock Beast's basic qualifications were very average and its spiritual intelligence was not developed, it had followed Gu Qing for the longest time and sacrificed its life several times to protect it. Therefore, Gu Qing
Qingtou alone provided it with enough Ice Spirit Fruit to advance to the sixth level.
The Ice Butterfly King flapped its icy soul-like butterfly wings briskly. He was very envious when he saw the Ice Rock Beast grabbing handfuls of Ice Spirit Fruit and swallowing it into his belly. He quickly asked his master for instructions and asked cautiously: "Master,
What about mine? If a mutant butterfly king like me is promoted to the sixth level, he will need more ice spiritual power."
Gu Qing took a picture of a storage bag that had been filled with the best ice spirit flowers and ice spirit grass from the white jade gourd in the belly of the golden ant. He also placed several bottles of spirit liquid in it and said calmly: "These are all yours.
, enough!"
The ice butterfly was overjoyed, thanked its master, and danced toward the Ice Spirit Flower, absorbing the rich ice spiritual energy.
Gu Qing was not in a hurry to take pictures of the red-fire green-tailed leopard and the demonic dragon. He continued to practice the ancient technique Haotian Jue, supplemented by the Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pill, to stabilize his own cultivation, calm the qi and blood in the body, and dredge the meridians.
When the Ice Butterfly King and Ice Rock Beast advanced one after another, the powerful spiritual pressure made Gu Qing startle from his meditation. He saw that the Ice Rock Beast changed from cyan to snow-white, like a snowman, while the Ice Butterfly King turned into ice blue.
The butterfly wings also grew several inches longer and became more gorgeous!
"Thank you for your support, Master!" The sixth-level Ice Butterfly King excitedly sent his thoughts to his master. If the master hadn't fed him with a large number of ice-type spiritual creatures, it would have been easier said than done to advance to the sixth level!
The sixth-level ice rock beast stood there like a snowman, still looking confused, but wherever its master went, it would follow and protect him loyally.
Gu Qing nodded silently and ordered: "Ice Rock Beast, dig this underground cave bigger, at least expand it to a hundred feet in diameter! Ice Butterfly, you are responsible for freezing the silt and solidifying the cave."
As he spoke, Gu Qing removed the fourth-order formation flag and allowed the ice rock beast to dig and tamp down the mud deep at the bottom of the stream to expand the scope of the cave.
After the two sixth-level spirit beasts quickly fulfilled their master's request, Gu Qing took a picture of the demon dragon and red-fire green-tailed leopard in the spirit beast bag.
Before the red-fire green-tailed leopard landed and roared, Gu Qing sent out a cold divine thought: "Don't scream! Eat the fire spirit fruit honestly, these jars of spiritual liquid are all prepared for you."
