As the miasma of the Hundred Thousand Mountains dissipated, thousands of swords were fired from the sky above Lixi Town and rushed into the mountain.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu were walking side by side and saw the senior sister's clothes flying and rustling in the wind.
Lin Duanshan, Duan Fenhai and Guan Shanyue were not far ahead, running forward with sword light under their feet.
"Let's go to Langgan Cave first." Lin Duanshan said to everyone, "Langgan Cave is the closest to us. In previous years, it was basically brought under the control of Shushan. Therefore, there are a lot of Shushan sects who go to drink Ten Thousand Years Stone Milk."
"You and I are among the top five in the Immortal Sword Ranking, who dares to compete with us for the share of Shiru?" Duan Fenhai said coldly.
"There's no need to grab it." Guan Shanyue blinked, "If they arrive early, swarm up and drink up all the oozing stone milk, who can we settle the score with after we arrive?"
"That's right." Lin Duanshan said seriously, "We still have to avoid unnecessary complications and arrive early to be safe."
God is so relieved! Ling Yunpo almost squirted.
However, the truth is indeed such a truth, so everyone gathered more true energy, activated the sword light, and left all the way.
Langgan Cave is located in the northern area of Shiwanda Mountain, in a peak called "Baoding Mountain".
This place is about the same distance from Donghuang Shrine and Lixi Town, and has always been a battleground between Shushan Mountain and Donghuang Road.
It's just that the gap in combat power between the two sides is so great that Shushan will soon beat the Donghuang Road to pieces, and Baoding Mountain will be completely controlled by Shushan.
Continuing to move forward, everyone encountered the same problem as Wei Dongliu and his party.
The miasma is too strong at high places.
The so-called miasma dissipates, in fact, the miasma close to the surface dissipates, and begins to thicken again a few dozen feet upward.
So much so that everyone had to give up their swords and walk through the jungle on foot.
Lin Duanshan and others participated in the Southern Expedition every year and were very familiar with the route. Ling Yunpo also walked through the jungles of southern Xinjiang when he transformed into Wei Dongliu, so he was very familiar with the surrounding environment. With a casual sword, he killed a certain follower.
He hung quietly from the treetops, and the triangular-headed venomous snake that wanted to sneak up on him was nailed to the tree.
It was really the first time for Senior Sister An Zhisuan to come here. She looked around with interest, while staying close to Ling Yunpo's side.
Everyone rushed to the vicinity of Baoding Mountain, and as soon as they walked through the woods, they met a group of demon cult monks.
Ling Yunpo was so familiar with the demon sect. He recognized him as a monk from the Yin Guidao at a glance. He immediately pulled out the Qingping Sword and used a move of white rainbow to penetrate the sun, quickly piercing the chest of the leading monk.
The demon cult monks on the opposite side immediately dispersed, and various spells were cast. The gloomy ghost shadows were overwhelming, completely blocking the view here.
Ling Yunpo took a closer look and was happy.
The most common one here is the signature spell of the Yin Ghost Dao foundation-building realm, "Grudge Curse Binding Killing", which condenses the resentful souls of the dead into evil spirits. They are extremely ferocious when fighting, and do not even need the Yin Ghost Dao.
To control it, the monk only needs to launch it.
When Wei Dongliu was chatting with Wen Yang in private, he heard Wen Yang say that when this technique was first studied, the target was Shushan's secret sword-controlling technique.
It turned out that it was fine for bullying ordinary Shushan disciples, but basically no match against those sword immortals at the top of the Immortal Sword Ranking.
I saw that although everyone here was blocked by the spell, they still relied on the impression of the glimpse just now to blindly shoot the flying swords, breaking through the spell that penetrated the sky, and accurately killed all the magic monks on the opposite side - An
The senior sister's Feiyan Sword even made a one-two punch, which made Ling Yunpo gasp in surprise.
After returning from Bai Yujing's secret realm, Senior Sister An's natural talent for swordsmanship has awakened, and her swordsmanship has become increasingly sharp.
After killing these demonic monks, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one went up to search for the corpses.
After all, now that the top five in the Immortal Sword Ranking are gathering together, they have to put down their shame and "lick the bag" like casual cultivators, and they are still ordinary demon cultivators who most likely have nothing good to offer. No one can pull off this shame.
"Ahem." Ling Yunpo coughed and said sternly, "Don't waste time, let's move forward quickly!"
"That's that." Everyone quickly agreed.
The group quickly crossed here and headed towards Baoding Mountain.
This place is shrouded in miasma and has been almost uninhabited for hundreds of thousands of years. The mountain roads are also rugged and difficult to navigate, and many places are impossible to set foot on.
However, they were all monks, and they were Shushan Sword Immortals who were famous for their strong bones. They moved effortlessly and quickly arrived at Langgan Cave.
Langgan Cave is a natural rock cave with an irregular outline and no traces of polishing. It is worth noting that the stones that make up the rock wall are a brilliant ivory white, resembling jade but not jade, and are called "Langgan".
After a group of people entered the cave, Duan Fenhai walked in front to clear the way, and the others followed behind. All the flying swords were suspended in the air, following the footsteps of the sword fairy, floating forward, ready to go.
Finally arriving at a larger cave, we saw a large number of stalactites and stalagmites growing there, densely packed like a forest.
From time to time there is the sound of water dripping into the pool, making the surroundings seem darker and quieter.
At the end of the stalagmite forest is a naturally formed "water pool".
The pool is not big, about ten feet wide in diameter, and four fingers higher than the flat bottom. The liquid in it is neither clear nor transparent. It is thick and milky, and exudes some weird aroma, like burning spices.
Gradually, a drop of stone milk fell from the stalactite and fell into the pool, making a crisp sound.
"This stone milk can only be scooped out with wooden utensils, otherwise it will turn into clear water when you leave the pool." Lin Duanshan reminded everyone.
So everyone took out the wooden cups and bowls that had been prepared for a long time and stepped forward to scoop out the stone milk.
Although this stone milk can perfect the Purple Mansion, and each mouthful is equivalent to one year of transformation, it is also extremely toxic.
If you drink it at once, you will reach the limit after ten mouthfuls at most. Once the poison is completely gone, drinking it again will have no effect.
But if you only drink one sip, and slowly refine the poison after returning, you can come back next year... In this way, you can drink up to forty sips, which is equivalent to forty years of cultivation.
Lin Duanshan took the cup and sipped it slowly; Duan Fenhai drank it all in one gulp; Guan Shanyue put it away, seemingly not intending to take it immediately.
All three of them planned to take just one sip, keep the water flowing, and come back next year.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, because they don't have enough background, will most likely not be able to come next year, so they prepared a big ocean bowl - Ling Yunpo originally wanted to get a wooden urn to put all the stone milk away, but was stopped by Senior Sister An.
If it is stored in a vessel, the spiritual energy will only be retained for seven days at most, and there will be no time for the medicine to be digested in the body. Why do you need to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself?
Ling Yunpo even thought about asking Kunlun Mirror to record the spatial coordinates here, and then transfer it to drink after a year.
Although this is feasible, there is a huge risk in motivation, which is "Why only have one drink this time?"
According to common sense, considering that you can't come back next year, you should squeeze the most benefits at once.
If you only take one sip, you will inevitably think, "There must be some other way for this guy to come to this Hundred Thousand Mountains next year."
Others can just think about it, but if Senior Sister An thinks like this, she will never ask more questions because of her temperament, and she will even feel happy for Ling Yunpo... But Ling Yunpo doesn't want Senior Sister to misunderstand him!
The most important thing is that the second-grade golden elixir is already a certainty anyway, and the first-grade golden elixir is completely hopeless. What does it matter if it has been lost for thirty years?
Why not share the joys and sorrows with my senior sister and just drink this once!
Ling Yunpo raised the wooden bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then smashed it into his mouth.
Well, it's a little sweet, like fermented vanilla yogurt...
