"Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave is located under the deep sea. Because the water pressure in the depth is too high, it is necessary to carry water-proof magic weapons."
"Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua prepared the Water Seal for me. There should be no problem in this regard."
"The magnetic field in the cave is so strong that it can not only destroy any path-finding magic weapon, but also interfere with the monk's sense of direction, making people unable to distinguish between east, west, north, south, up, down, left and right - this is the main reason why the monks are trapped and missing inside."
"Master prepared for me the jade map slips left by my predecessors, plus the Kunlun mirror is responsible for recording the route and correcting the direction, so there is no problem."
"It takes at least two months to reach the nearest Chaoyuan Qi channel from the entrance. The average person has been in the dark sea cave environment for a long time, and it is easy to be tortured to the point of shaking the Taoist heart and even losing their mind."
"But I am not an ordinary person. I have A Jing and Qing Ping chatting with me."
"There are no dangerous creatures in the cave, but intermittent earthquakes or seafloor thermal surges may occur."
"It's okay. The probability of it happening is too small, and if it happens it will be an unavoidable natural disaster. We can only adapt to circumstances."
"Shi Liuli somehow convinced Elder Shi Ding to let her go with me."
"...How to deal with this?"
Luo Yan rethought the plan for the Five Qi trip to Yuandong in his mind, and basically prepared plans for every risk point - except for Shi Liuli's intrusion.
Why does this young lady always follow me? Could it be that she really likes me?
"I have a hunch." Shi Liuli said seriously, "In the Five Qi Chaoyuan Cave, there is an opportunity for me to skip the marrow washing and enter the Huafu."
"Senior sister, did you use your metaphysical ritual again?" Luo Yan asked lazily.
"Of course." Shi Liuli said confidently, "In short, I will definitely be able to directly cleanse the marrow successfully this time."
"You said the same thing last time you went to the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm." Luo Yan deliberately reminded her, "In the end, you got a secret body-building technique that you were too lazy to use."
"That was an accident! An accident!" Shi Liuli was furious and her face was a little red. "Ignore you. You don't understand the weight of 'God's beloved' at all. It's all in vain for me to tell you! Hmph."
She turned around to express her dissatisfaction, and at the same time clasped her hands together and shook them vigorously in front of her chest, and began to mutter some unintelligible words such as "Heaven Lingling" and "Earth Lingling".
Luo Yan didn't care about her. Although this eldest lady always liked to pester him, at least she would not deliberately cause trouble at critical moments.
Considering that Wuqi needs to stay in Chaoyuan Cave for at least two months, there is also a risk that the synchronization rate will decrease.
Once the synchronization rate drops, the characteristic of "One Word, One Thousand Enlightenment" will diminish, so this time I brought Shi Liuli with me, so I just used her to increase the synchronization value.
Thinking about it this way, it turned out to be a good thing for her to join in.
Luo Yan quickly convinced himself and continued to think about it.
The two of them were currently in the midst of a shuttle-shaped magic weapon, controlled by a certain Nascent Soul elder in the temple.
The reason for being locked up in the magic weapon for a long journey is to not reveal the location of Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave - this place is located in the far east sea, too far away from Penglai Yuqing Temple, and it is impossible to send people to station it for a long time without revealing it.
If it is known to external departments, it can only be treated as strictly confidential.
Finally, the shuttle-shaped magic weapon stopped and released Luo Yan and Shi Liuli.
"Be careful when you enter the cave." The elder who manipulated the magic weapon warned, "If you find something is wrong, it is more appropriate to give up and retreat in time than to take the risk of continuing deeper."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice." Luo Yan saluted and Shi Liuli quickly followed suit.
"In two months, I will come here again to pick you up." The elder continued, "If you don't show up within three days, the temple will think that you died inside."
"This is the eastern edge of the East China Sea. With your ability, it is basically impossible to return to Penglai from here, so don't miss the time. Remember, two months!"
After saying that, he slapped the shuttle-shaped magic weapon with his backhand, and his whole body turned into a jet-black stream of light and disappeared into the distant skyline.
"Let's go." After watching the elder leave, Luo Yan sighed and said to Shi Liuli.
"Okay!" Shi Liuli became excited.
"Have you clearly remembered everything I told you on the way here?" Luo Yan asked again emphatically.
"I know, I know, I will listen to you in everything, little junior brother." Shi Liuli smiled as brightly as a flower.
Luo Yan sighed in his heart again. He guessed why Elder Shi Ding allowed Miss Shi to follow him.
If Shi Liuli wants to come here alone, Elder Shi Ding will never be at ease and must arrange for a trustworthy person to escort him.
For example, last time at the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Land, Senior Brother Linghu Chu was arranged to escort the two of them.
I, Luo Yan, with all my virtues and abilities, have actually become a person that Master can trust? So much so that I am actually willing to let me escort Miss Shi?
I think it was because my performance in Guixu in the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm last time was so outstanding, in sharp contrast to my senior brother who couldn't do anything after he overturned, that made my trust in the master's heart rise rapidly.
Bar.
"In short, you must strictly obey my orders and act accordingly. Do you understand?" Luo Yan warned him again and again and tirelessly.
"Yeah!" Miss Shi nodded impatiently.
"Let's go." Luo Yan activated the water-sealing seal, creating a water-repelling space with a radius of two meters around the two people, and then jumped into the sea with Shi Liuli.
This is the water at the edge of the East China Sea, and the light transmittance is much worse than that of the East China Sea. The two of them only dropped a few feet, and the surrounding light quickly became darker.
Luo Yan took out another lighting magic weapon, which was a hexagonal palace lantern, which shone brightly in the sea water.
After descending about several thousand feet, the two finally reached the bottom of the sea.
The seabed here is a lime-white rock surface, which looks like a large plain.
In the center of the plain, a stone monument stood abruptly.
The two men moved forward quickly with their swords and arrived at the stone monument. They saw that it was carved with knives and axes...
It can't be seen clearly. It seems to have been completely corroded by the sea water, leaving only a faint dent. You can probably distinguish four characters.
Under the stone monument is a sea cave so deep that it is difficult to see the bottom.
"Junior brother." Shi Liuli walked around the stele and asked strangely, "Didn't it say that the location of the Five Qi Chao Yuandong needs to be kept secret? Why is there still a stele set up here? Is it to avoid foreigners passing by here?
Can’t the monk find this hole?”
"Maybe this monument was not erected by Yuqing Temple." Luo Yan replied smoothly.
"Who set it up?" Shi Liuli asked.
"I'm an ancient monk." Luo Yan replied.
"Of course he is an ancient monk, but could he be a future monk?" Shi Liuli was speechless.
She still felt something was wrong: Even if it was a stone tablet erected by ancient monks and found here behind Yuqing Temple, why not remove the stone tablet?
It was just that Luo Yan was in a hurry and kept urging at the edge of the cave. Miss Shi could only put down her doubts and quickly ran to her junior brother. The two held hands and jumped out of the sea cave with the help of the water seal.
