Wang Daoyuan has been practicing in the cave for more than half a year. During this time, his cultivation has made slight progress.
However, there is still a long way to go to break through the fourth level of foundation building.
In the past six months, the clone Bai Sheng has refined all the Xuanyin jade into storage instruments.
A total of more than thirty were refined. In order to deceive others, the storage instruments all looked like Xuanyin jade gourds.
He also often goes to Xuanyin Spring to collect the Yin evil spirit, which he uses to nourish the tiger soul Yin evil flag.
After all, if you go out to search for underground rivers in the future, you will need to use the Tiger Soul Yinsha Banner as a cover.
After half a year of cultivation, the tiger soul has completely recovered, and the entire magical weapon has also regained its previous power.
Bai Sheng's weapon refining level also returned to the second-level low-grade, and he successfully refined the soul-seeking plate.
This soul-seeking board is about the size of an adult's palm, and looks a bit like a compass, but without a pointer.
The surface of the disk is also very simple, with only the five elements of mythical beasts engraved on it.
After the soul-seeking plate is activated, the Five Elements Divine Beast Pattern can sense the spiritual energy of the corresponding attributes.
There are nine star positions in each mythical animal pattern.
If there is a spiritual vein nearby, a star will light up.
When encountering a first-order low-grade spiritual vein, only one star position will light up, while a first-order mid-grade spiritual vein will light up two star positions.
By analogy, if you encounter a third-level high-grade spiritual vein, all nine star positions will light up.
After all, it is only a second-level low-grade magic weapon. For higher-grade spiritual veins, it is really impossible to determine the grade.
If the soul-seeking plate is of a higher level, you can add a few more star positions to determine the higher-level spiritual veins.
The entire soul-seeking plate is divided into two layers, and the upper layer can be rotated at will.
If a water-attribute spiritual vein is discovered, the upper layer of the soul-seeking plate will be rotated, and the head of the Xuanwu Pattern will face the direction of the spiritual vein, emitting a spiritual beam of light and fly towards the spiritual vein.
If a non-attributed spiritual vein is encountered, the upper layer of the soul-seeking plate will not rotate, and the star positions in the five divine beast patterns will light up, and at the same time, a spiritual beam of light will be released, merge together, and fly towards the spiritual vein.
This method only works when encountering spiritual veins and is relatively passive.
In addition to passively searching for spiritual veins, you can also directly drive the soul measuring board to release a spiritual beam.
Through the soul-measuring plate, direct the spiritual power beam to detect whether there are spiritual veins in an area.
Through the spiritual power beam, you can understand the simple situation around the spiritual veins.
In this way, when searching for underground spiritual veins, there is no need for people to go down in person.
The soul-seeking plate is a special type of formation measuring disk, which also retains the function of finding formation eyes and formation flaws.
It's just that compared to the array measurement disk, its effect is much weaker, and the speed of finding the formation eyes and formation flaws is much slower than the formation measurement disk of the same level.
There are hundreds of kilograms of Forbidden God silk stored in the space, so it is difficult to sell them.
He himself didn't know how to refine weapons, so he could only find a storage bag and put it in it.
Now that we have a weapon refiner clone, we naturally have to make good use of it.
Bai Sheng used forbidden god silk to refine two second-level low-grade cloaks. Although these cloaks are second-level magic weapons, they are not spiritual armor-type magic weapons.
Its defensive function is similar to that of a first-order high-grade magic weapon, and its most important function is to avoid the detection of divine consciousness.
Back then, Wu Yi, the blood shadow assassin, attacked him secretly at Black Rock Peak.
Wu Yi's cloak was only made with three ounces of Forbidden God silk added during the refining process.
Even if Wang Daoyuan used his sky-peeping technique, he could not detect him from ten feet away.
Wang Daoyuan's two cloaks were both made of three layers of Forbidden God silk and weighed four to five kilograms, without adding any other materials.
The souls of the Zifu monks turned into divine souls, and the intensity of their divine consciousness was greatly enhanced.
It's hard to say whether this cloak of the Forbidden God can escape the detection of the Zifu monks, but it is impossible for the Foundation Establishment monks to discover it.
He closed his eyes and used the sky-gazing technique. He placed the Forbidden God's cloak in front of his eyes and he couldn't even notice it.
Even a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment might not be able to detect it in front of his eyes if he didn't have extremely advanced divine sense detection methods.
When going out, if you are chased by a late-stage foundation-building monk or a second-level high-grade monster, you can simply put on the cloak of the forbidden god and then use the earth escape technique to escape very easily.
When everything was ready, Wang Daoyuan left the cave and headed to the northern foot of Huiyan Mountain to look for the underground river.
He put on Du Heng's outfit, a long black robe and a black cloak that could cover his head.
Evil cultivators use the energy of evil spirits to cultivate, which damages the body and usually makes them look ugly.
Therefore, most evil cultivators do not like to reveal their true appearance.
His clothes are also common for evil cultivators and will not attract attention.
Leave Xuanyinfang City, ride the Tiger Soul Yinsha Banner, and fly towards the south.
Xuanyinfang City is only more than two thousand miles away from the northern foot of Huiyan Mountain.
It only took him a little over an hour to reach the northern foot of Huiyan Mountain.
This time, his target is Jiuquan Ridge.
Jiuquan Ridge is located on the northern edge of Huiyan Mountain, with nine connected peaks. On each peak, there is a spiritual spring, hence the name Jiuquan Ridge.
Since there are so many spiritual springs here, there must be underground water veins.
Moreover, Jiuquan Ridge is located between Xuanyin Spring and the Netherworld Sect Mountain Gate. It should not be far from the underground river upstream of the Netherworld River.
He came to the peak in the middle of Jiuquan Ridge and took out the soul-seeking plate.
What he is looking for is the underground river, which can also be regarded as the water spirit vein.
Use spiritual power to drive the Xuanwu pattern on the soul-seeking plate. From the Xuanwu pattern's mouth, a beam of water-attribute spiritual power will immediately spit out.
Wang Daoyuan controlled the flight direction of the spiritual power beam through the soul measuring board.
Under his control, the spiritual beam entered the underground water veins from the eye of the spiritual spring.
The spiritual beam penetrated downward along the water veins, and after reaching a depth of five hundred feet, it reached its limit.
If you continue to go deeper, the spiritual beam will lose contact with the soul-seeking plate.
Without the soul-seeking plate to continuously supply spiritual power, the spiritual power beam will soon be annihilated.
Moreover, the water veins under this spiritual spring are extremely narrow, and the spring water is squeezed out from the cracks in the rocks.
This kind of water vein is impossible for monks to pass through.
If this water vein doesn't work, try another mountain and try again.
Just as he was about to leave the mountain, he heard someone calling for help at the foot of the mountain.
After taking a closer look, I realized it was that boy Xu Ting.
Xu Ting was followed by a huge wild boar that was six to seven feet long. This wild boar's cultivation level was at the second level of the middle level, which was equivalent to the fourth level of foundation building for a human monk.
Xie Xiu Tian defeated the monsters, Xu Ting built up the third level of cultivation, and defeated a wild boar with a slightly higher cultivation level. It should not be a big problem.
Besides, wild boars are terrestrial monsters and cannot fly.
If you can't beat the imperial weapon, you can just fly away. What does it mean to race with a wild boar on the ground?
Wang Daoyuan didn't bother to care about Xu Ting's life and death. He only met him twice, said a few words, and went to care about him when he was full.
Seeing Xu Ting rushing up, he immediately harnessed the Tiger Soul Yinsha Banner and was about to fly away.
At this time, a giant raptor with a wingspan of more than ten feet suddenly flew from the sky.
His cultivation level is that of a second-level mid-level demon bird, which is not far from the second-level high-level level. It is equivalent to a sixth-level foundation-building monk.
Now he knew why Xu Ting raced with the wild boar.
For Xu Ting, with such a raptor in the sky, the difference between flying with a weapon and dying is not that big. It is safer to play with the wild boar.
His strength is not that great, but he is quite capable of causing trouble. He is surrounded by two second-order monster beasts, air and ground.
Compared with the second-level mid-level demon bird, the sword speed of the foundation-building monk is far behind.
If there was a head-to-head confrontation with it in the air, Wang Daoyuan would not be sure to kill it even if he showed his trump card.
On top of the solitary peak, you can't leave with Earth Escape Technique. You can escape to a depth of dozens of feet underground at most. There are cliffs all around, making you even more passive than on the top of the mountain.
Neither weapon flying nor earth escape is reliable, so the best option is to kill or repel the wild boar and go directly down the mountain.
After reaching the ground and trying to escape, the huge raptor couldn't do anything to him.
