In Dragon Tooth Valley, Old Man Taixuan has always been famous for protecting his shortcomings. From the various protective magical weapons he forced on Xiao Zhen before, you can see how exaggerated he is.
If Xiao Zhen hadn't been able to use spiritual weapons, maybe Old Man Taixuan would have prepared a few for him. Although at that time, Taixuan Sect's hundreds of years of accumulation had allowed him to divert almost all of the various spiritual weapons needed to build pills.
There are few valuable things left in the treasure house.
However, Xiao Zhen is still the next leader appointed by the opponent. Regardless of whether Old Taixuan succeeds in promotion or not, he has to be in charge of the sect. How could he not be well-armed?
The black-robed monk in front of him obviously missed this point and did not take Xiao Zhen into consideration. However, even if he overestimated a few points, he would never have imagined that there is a secret passage here that can lead directly to the cave.
Therefore, his death was not unjust at all.
After finishing off his opponent in a few clicks, Xiao Zhen casually put away the gold bricks and the Upside Down Talisman Formation. The five iron-rigid puppets that were originally trapped in the formation instantly collapsed to the ground and could no longer move.
This kind of iron-rigid puppet is extremely powerful, but its production process is also extremely cruel, and it has been denounced as the work of demons.
Xiao Zhen had no intention of taking them for his own use, but planned to let Xiao Shan burn them on the spot with fire.
Xiao Shan, who was hiding aside, was a little excited when he saw Xiao Zhen, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared and rescued the three of them in time. However, he also knew that this place was not a place to stay for a long time, so he helped clean up the scene and erase the traces of the fighting.
.
Half an hour later, they returned to Taixuan Mountain with Xiao Long and Xiao Li, who were still unconscious.
After returning, Xiao Shan asked Wang Dayou and his two men to take care of the wounded, and he followed Xiao Zhen to the Taixuan Hall.
"Master, this is the loot we just harvested." Xiao Shan took out a storage bag and wanted to hand it to Xiao Zhen. The black-robed monk was killed by Xiao Zhen alone, so everything on him naturally belongs to Xiao Zhen.
.
"Can you prove the other party's identity from inside?" Xiao Zhen did not reach out to pick it up, but asked another question.
Chaogu Ridge is extremely secretive. It is probably not an accident that this black-robed monk was able to find this place accurately. In this case, we still need to find out the identity of the other party and see if we can follow the clues and find the source.
After Xiao Zhen mentioned this, Xiao Shan immediately thought of the seriousness of the problem. Then, he forcefully broke the restrictions on the storage bag and used his spiritual sense to search inside.
He made a general inspection and took out two extremely tightly wrapped things, which were a token and a book page.
The token looks to be made of black iron, three inches long and two inches wide, with a tiger head carving on the front, which is lifelike.
"Judging from the token, he should be from the Beast Control Sect." Xiao Shan turned over the token and there was the word "Beast Control" on the back.
"Beast Control Sect?" Xiao Zhen whispered, frowning.
He never expected that this matter would actually involve the Beast Control Sect. You must know that this place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Mountain Gate of the Beast Control Sect. Moreover, the other party's status is as famous as Yaowang Valley, and it is a medium-sized one with Jindan monks in charge.
The sect cannot even compete with Taixuan Sect.
Although it is said that there are often disciples of the Beast Control Sect walking around in the Yaowang Valley. However, the opponent is thousands of miles away and has found the Death Crypt next to Taixuan Mountain. The whole thing is really too much of a coincidence.
.
Just when Xiao Zhen was thinking about the whole thing, Xiao Shan opened the page of the book and wanted to find out what happened, but he unexpectedly dropped another token.
With a "boom", a dull sound came from the ground, which immediately attracted Xiao Zhen's attention.
"Hey" Xiao Shan said softly, as if he saw something extraordinary.
"Master, please wait for me." Xiao Shan picked up the token and stared at it for a long time. Then he put everything in his hand on the table beside him, got up and walked to his residence.
After a while, he returned to the main hall holding a wooden box.
"Master, look." Xiao Shan opened the wooden box and took out another token that was exactly the same as the one just now.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zhen took the two tokens and looked at them carefully.
I saw that the two tokens both had the word "Cover the Moon" written on them on the front. The only difference was that on the back, the one that fell out of the book page said "Twelve", while the one that came out of the wooden box was marked "
Thirty-three".
Xiao Shan next to him seemed to recall the past, he sighed softly and said: "Speaking of this token, it was actually placed with me by my ancestor ten years ago, and it is not a personal treasure of mine.
"
"The Hidden Moon?" Xiao Zhen murmured to himself. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is it a token of entering the secret realm of the Hidden Moon?"
"Master has a good memory!" Xiao Shan smiled casually.
To talk about the birth of Old Man Taixuan a hundred years ago, we have to mention the Hidden Moon Secret Realm. As the name suggests, the Hidden Moon Secret Realm is a small independent space passed down by the sect, which is used to cultivate rare elixirs.
You can enter and exit with tokens.
It just so happened that Old Man Taixuan got a piece by chance when he was in the Qi Refining Stage. Moreover, when he reached the later stage of Qi Refining, he successfully entered the secret realm through the instructions on the token, and was fortunate enough to obtain a piece that could be used to refine the foundation.
Dan’s thousand-year elixir.
After coming out, he used these elixirs to exchange for foundation-building pills from Yaowang Valley, and successfully built the foundation. From then on, he relied on his identity as a formation Taoist who broke through to the third level to obtain foundation-building pills from Yaowang Valley.
The qualifications to found the sect gave Taixuan Sect.
I think back then, this incident was passed down as a legend, and everyone knew about it. From that time on, the mysterious secret realm of the Hidden Moon was gradually brought to light and became known to the public.
It is a pity that there are only thirty-six tokens to enter the secret realm, and most of them are in the hands of Yaowang Valley. The remaining small parts are divided up by some small sects and cultivation families, and it is impossible to live outside.
Even if someone wants to take advantage of the token in the hands of Taixuanmen, they still have to consider whether they can pass the test of Taixuanmen.
In Xiao Shan's view, Old Man Taixuan secretly handed over the token to him just to give Taixuanmen a way out. No one could have imagined that the most important treasure of Taixuanmen was not in the hands of the leader, but in his hands.
Planted in the hands of the most insignificant people.
Originally, Old Man Taixuan also ordered that these be handed over to Xiao Zhen after he broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining. But what he didn't expect was that they unexpectedly gained another side.
"By the way, the ancestor also asked me to give this thing to you." Xiao Shan seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly took out another smaller wooden box from the wooden box.
Different from the big wooden box, there are several talismans sealed on the small wooden box. These talismans seem to be imprisoned by a kind of restriction, and it is not easy to open them.
"Master, what should I do with the extra token?" Xiao Shan looked at the two tokens with a heavy expression, without any joy on his face.
In another three years, the Hidden Moon Secret Realm will be opened again. With the current situation in Taixuan Mountain, it is necessary for two late-stage Qi Refiners to enter it at the same time. In other words, in addition to Xiao Zhen, who has just made a breakthrough, the other one is him.
.
It's just that he is an alchemist after all, and he can only make alchemy. He can't even deal with a second-level high-grade wolf demon, how can he be qualified for this task!
There are many dangers in the secret realm, which is no joke. If you want to pick the elixir, you really need two brushes. What's more, there are thirty-four other late-stage Qi refining masters who went in with them.
, these people are the most dangerous.
However, since they have got two quotas in their hands, they must make full use of them. Otherwise, they will have to wait another hundred years for the next opening. Judging from the three or two shrimps on the mountain now, can they
Holding on until then is still a problem.
Therefore, Xiao Shan secretly made up his mind that in these three years, he must work hard to improve his fighting skills and must not hold Xiao Zhen back.
