It only took Wang Daoyuan about two hours from the time he was plotted to the time he was able to deal with the black-robed old man.
It was not yet midnight, so he decided to explore the black-robed old man's cave first, and then return to Jingtie Mountain at dawn.
When he was thrown against the stone wall by the giant python, his spiritual consciousness hurriedly scanned it and found that there were many restrictions inside, and there should be a lot of good things inside.
However, he didn't dare to enter rashly. This old boy had too many tricks. If he fell into his hands, he would suffer a big loss.
Wang Dao couldn't understand how the black-robed old man made both casual cultivators and monsters willing to die for him.
But the old man in black robe was full of tricks, and Wang Daoyuan did not dare to keep him.
It's not worth risking your life just for curiosity.
Fortunately, there is still such a casual cultivator with low cultivation level. He has two layers of defensive talismans on his body, plus a water dragon armor, so there is no need to worry about his backlash.
In order to prevent this person from resisting, he had to be tied up and affixed with a first-class high-quality Heart-Questing Talisman.
The Mind-Questing Talisman can suppress the user's soul and make him lose the ability to think. He will answer whatever others ask him.
Wang Daoyuan triggered the Heart-Questing Talisman, then slapped him in the face to wake him up.
Unless this casual cultivator's spiritual power reaches the level of foundation building, otherwise, he will be given a first-level high-grade heart-asking talisman, and he will definitely answer whatever he asks.
Wang Daoyuan asked: "What is your name? Where are you from? What is the purpose of coming to Jingtieshan?"
The casual cultivator replied: "My name is Qi Yun. I come from the north of the Huiyan Mountains, a place where humans and monsters live together. Because I explored the secret realm left by my predecessors and obtained the inherited skills, I had a conflict with my companions.
Under the sneak attack, he was seriously injured, his soul was also severely damaged, and his cultivation level continued to decline.
He had no choice but to flee to the south of Huiyan Mountain to avoid pursuit. He came to Jingtieshan by chance ten years ago. Due to his heavy injuries, he has been recuperating here and his injuries have only recently stabilized.
My body is broken and it is difficult to recover, so I want to find a suitable casual cultivator to seize my body."
Wang Daoyuan was a little surprised when he heard what this casual cultivator said. This man looked like he was only in his twenties, not much older than himself. How could he call himself "old man" and say he wanted to seize the body? Could it be that he had already succeeded in seizing the body?
It's impossible, even the soul of a foundation-building monk cannot be taken away from others.
Only in the Zifu stage, after the Zifu is opened, and the soul is strengthened into a divine soul, can it exist for a long time without the body.
Only the soul has the ability to forcefully enter the sea of consciousness of others and seize their bodies.
Could this old boy be a strong man from the Zi Mansion?
Absolutely impossible!
No matter how badly injured a strong man from the Zi Mansion is, his soul has undergone a qualitative change, and there is no way he can be restrained by his first-level Heart-Questing Talisman.
With a lot of questions, Wang Daoyuan asked again: "What was your previous cultivation level, and why were you able to seize the body?"
Qi Yun replied: "Before I was injured, I was at the peak of foundation building. I relied on the inheritance I received while exploring the secret realm to seize the body. There is a method of spiritual consciousness cultivation that records the secret method of seizing the body under the Zi Mansion."
After listening to Qi Yun's words, Wang Daoyuan secretly said that it was very dangerous. Fortunately, he was not a monk from Zifu, otherwise he would have been destroyed long ago.
Although the soul at the peak of Foundation Establishment is extremely powerful and very close to the soul of the Zifu monk, no matter how powerful it is, it has not undergone a qualitative change and is essentially the same as the soul of the Qi-training monk.
If severely damaged, it is possible to fall to the level of a Qi-training monk.
What followed was a burst of ecstasy. The method of spiritual consciousness cultivation that can make the peak foundation monks compete for it. What level does it have to be? At least it is much stronger than the Wang family's soul forging technique!
Wang Daoyuan continued to ask: "Where is the inheritance you received? What other treasures are there?"
Qi Yun replied blankly: "All the techniques I obtained are in my cave. In addition to the techniques, I also obtained several magic weapons, but they were all destroyed when I was hunted down.
All that is left is a second-grade high-grade brass bell and a first-grade high-grade shield snatched on the way to escape.”
Wang Daoyuan became interested instantly. He thought that the yellow bell was very powerful and might be a second-level magic weapon. Unexpectedly, it was a high-level second-level magic weapon. He made a lot of money this time.
Although, with his cultivation and spiritual consciousness, it is very difficult to activate the second-level magic weapon, and it may even damage his own soul, but it is still good to use it as a trump card.
Moreover, this yellow bell is also a sonic attack, so it is possible to take it by surprise and severely damage the monks in the early stages of foundation building.
Wang Daoyuan continued to ask: "There are restrictions in your cave, how do you get in?"
Qi Yun replied: "There is a bead in my storage bag, which is the hub for controlling the formation in the cave. As long as it is refined, you can control the formation of the entire cave."
Wang Daoyuan was in a hurry to go to Qiyun's cave to find the exercises. He didn't bother to ask further, so he threw away the heart-asking talisman and attached a soul-suppressing talisman, which would prevent him from waking up for ten days and a half, and then put Qiyun into
In the spirit beast bag.
He took out the storage bag he had just seized from the spirit bead space. As expected, there was a blue bead the size of a fist and several jade slips inside, but he didn't have time to look at them.
Wang Daoyuan dropped a drop of blood essence on the bead, then penetrated the bead with his spiritual consciousness, forcibly erased the imprint of spiritual consciousness left by Qi Yun on the bead, and then used his spiritual consciousness to leave his own imprint of spiritual consciousness, and the recognition of the master was completed.
.
The magic weapon is not in the hands of the owner, and the imprint of divine consciousness in it is the sourceless water. The more you consume, the less it will be, and you can wear it away by grinding it slowly.
After successfully identifying the owner of the magical weapon, Wang Daoyuan quickly rushed to Qi Yun's cave.
My spiritual consciousness explored the inside of the cave and found that the interior space was very large and seemed to be built using natural caves.
He used his magic power and spiritual consciousness to activate the blue beads at the same time, and the beads emitted a blue light. Wang Daoyuan thought about the formation in the cave, and all the restrictions were closed, and the restrictions instantly became dim.
Wang Daoyuan walked in calmly and saw that the interior of the cave was very large, covering an area of more than fifty acres.
There are several luminous pearls hanging in the sky above the cave. Although these are worthless things to immortal cultivators, they are really good for lighting.
There is a spiritual spring in the deepest part of the cave. Based on the concentration of spiritual energy it emits, it can be judged that it is a second-level low-grade spiritual spring.
Lingquan is an undeveloped water spiritual vein, but except for its smaller scale, the concentration of spiritual energy near the spiritual spring is similar to that of water spiritual veins of the same level. Of course, the amount of spiritual energy produced by the spiritual spring is much less.
The spiritual energy produced by this spiritual spring is enough for an early-stage Foundation Establishment monk and twenty or thirty Qi-training monks to practice. This cave can be used as the foundation of the Foundation Establishment family.
However, in Wang Daoyuan's eyes, it is not particularly precious. After all, Yuquan Peak, as the family foundation chosen by the ancestor back then, is a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual vein.
Furthermore, the Yuquan Peak Spiritual Vein is a medium-sized spiritual vein, and the spiritual eye of the spiritual vein alone, the Jade Dragon Spring, is half an acre in size.
The Wang family's mountain-protecting formation - Ten Thousand Waters Returning to the Source Formation, uses spiritual veins as its energy source. Back then, the Wang family was involved in the battle between three major sects to destroy the Zhao family. Several golden elixir monks from the three major sects attacked for several days, but could not break through the formation.
Array.
Later, under the mediation of Yang Yong, the Netherworld Sect made concessions and promised not to destroy the Wang family, and the Wang family surrendered to the Netherworld Sect.
However, the Netherworld Sect did not want the affiliated forces to have such a strong formation, so they destroyed the Ten Thousand Waters Returning Origin Formation.
Although the Wang family still retained the formation diagram of the Ten Thousand Waters Returning Origin Formation and the method of setting up the formation, without a fourth-level formation mage, there was no way to start.
Moreover, Netherworld Sect will not allow the Wang family to deploy the Ten Thousand Waters Return Formation again.
In addition, the Netherworld Sect also extracted the source of Yuquan Peak's spiritual veins, causing the spiritual veins to drop to the third level of high-grade, making it no longer able to support the Zifu monks to break through the golden elixir realm, and it was not enough to support the Ten Thousand Waters Returning Source Array.
Even so, Yuquan Peak's spiritual veins are still second to none in Qingli County, the main spiritual veins of the Yang family and the Liang family are only third-order low-grade, and the main spiritual veins of Laofang in Qinglifang City are only third-order mid-grade.
Moreover, in the future, if the origins of other spiritual veins are extracted and integrated into the Jade Dragon Spring, it is possible to restore the fourth-level spiritual veins.
The aura of Jade Dragon Spring can be used by more than a dozen late-stage cultivators from the Purple Mansion, and it was even able to satisfy the cultivation needs of several mid-stage Jindan cultivators.
Although this spiritual spring is incomparable to the Yuquan Peak spiritual veins, it is not without merit.
Lingquan is an immature spiritual vein with high growth potential.
This place is not far from the Tianzhan Mountain Range and has abundant spiritual energy. It will have the opportunity to grow into spiritual veins in the future.
The spiritual spring water flows meanderingly in the cave, nourishing five or six acres of spiritual fields. All the spiritual grains planted in the spiritual fields are spiritual grains.
There are many types of spirit grains. The common spirit grains on the market are similar to millet, and the ones grown in Wang Daoyuan’s Lingzhu Space are also of this type.
In addition, there are also things similar to wheat and rice, which are called Lingmai and Lingmi respectively. The three types of spiritual grains have high and low grades. Among some big forces, there are also some second-level spiritual grains. The royal family of Zhao State even had three.
Tierling Valley.
Three major types of spiritual grains are planted in this cave. Spiritual rice is planted in low-lying areas, and spiritual wheat and spiritual grains are planted in higher areas.
Lingmai and Lingmi are rare on the market, and few people grow them. Although the yield of these two types of Lingmai is slightly higher, they have high requirements on Lingtian, and field management is more troublesome.
Lingmi, in particular, has the highest yield among the three types of Linggu, but it is also the most troublesome to manage and has the highest requirements for the growing environment.
Not only spiritual fields are needed, but spiritual spring water is also needed for irrigation.
In addition, water must be diverted and drained frequently.
The spring water eventually gathered in a low-lying area, forming a pool of about three acres with crystal clear water.
There are some first-level algae in the pool, which look similar to common hornworts and shine with a metallic light.
Wang Daoyuan picked up a piece of algae and observed it carefully, but found nothing special.
It should be that ordinary hornwort has become a first-level spiritual grass under the nourishment of spiritual energy. Let's simply call it "Goldfish Spirit Algae".
This algae has no medicinal value, but it is full of spiritual energy and can be used as food for spiritual fish.
There are also high-grade algae in Wang's Jade Dragon Spring, and they are second-grade high-grade algae. It is called Jade Dragon Algae. It is a specialty of Yulong Spring and cannot survive in other places.
Jade Dragon Algae grows for a long time and may grow into a third-level low-grade spiritual plant, which can help aquatic monsters advance.
Legend has it that the arowana owned by the ancestor of the Wang family was originally an ordinary second-level spiritual fish. Later, it ate third-level jade dragon algae, broke the shackles of its bloodline, and rose to the third level.
Moreover, the already extremely thin dragon bloodline in his body awakened, and his talent increased dramatically, quickly rising to the fourth level.
If he had not died in the battle more than three hundred years ago, it would not be impossible for the majestic dragon to become a fifth-level spiritual beast.
Because Jade Dragon Algae has this extremely valuable effect, the family's management of Jade Dragon Algae is also extremely strict. No one is allowed to touch it except the clan leader and the Supreme Elder.
Moreover, Jade Dragon Algae grows on the spring at the bottom of Jade Dragon Spring, and monks below the foundation cannot get down. Wang Daoyuan has always wanted to steal a few plants, but unfortunately he does not have the ability.
It is unlikely that Yulong algae will survive after leaving Yulong Spring. Even if it is lucky enough to survive, it will not grow well.
Moreover, the spiritual field in the spirit bead space at this time can only barely reach the second-level low-grade, and the spiritual energy concentration is only the first-order high-grade.
Although there is something magical about the spirit bead space that cannot be taken lightly, there is still little hope of growing a rare spiritual object like Jade Dragon Algae.
There are many pseudo-spiritual fish in the pool, all of which are common species and have not reached the highest level.
Wang Daoyuan fished out about half of the goldfish algae and pseudospiritus from the pool and put them into the fish pond in the spirit bead space.
With these goldfish algae, Qingjiang carp and false fish no longer need artificial feeding.
On both sides of the place where the spring water flows, there is a first-class orchid growing, with a total of about one or two hundred plants.
It is a type that Wang Daoyuan has never seen or heard of. It should be a special variety bred by this spiritual spring.
The leaves of this orchid are more than a foot long, like a long sword. There are quite a few similar orchids, so it’s nothing unusual.
On the contrary, this flower is quite strange. It is shaped like a butterfly, colored like white jade, and shines with a faint blue light.
When you walk in, you can smell a delicate fragrance, which makes you feel energetic. This floral fragrance should have the effect of awakening the mind and even improving the cultivation of spiritual consciousness.
He moved more than twenty orchids into the Lingzhu space and planted them beside the fish pond.
This thing may have the effect of improving spiritual consciousness, so naturally it needs to be planted in large quantities.
In addition, after discovering such a cave, it is natural to go back and report your results to the clan leader, and also bring some evidence back.
There is also a simple thatched house next to Lingquan, which should be where Qi Yun lives.
The ground inside the cave is uneven, with many large and small rocks. The only flat land is the five or six acres of spiritual fields and a thatched house.
If it is cleaned up, more than ten acres of spiritual fields can be opened up with the help of spiritual spring water.
If some spiritual fish and aquatic spiritual plants are raised in the pond, this cave can fully support an early-stage foundation-building monk, plus thirty or forty Qi-training monks.
No matter from any aspect, it is enough to support a foundation-building family.
Moreover, this place is extremely secretive and can be used as a secret base for the Wang family.
In the future, if the Wang family is in trouble, it can also be used as a refuge. All the good young people in the family can be brought here to take refuge. It will not affect their cultivation. After the storm has passed, they can regroup.
Wang Daoyuan didn't expect that he had received an open-ended mission, but it had just begun and more than half of the mission had been completed.
The reason why it is said to be more than half completed is because although it can shelter most of the family's monks, the inheritance will not be lost and the incense will continue.
But this place is still within the territory of Netherworld Sect. If the family needs to take refuge here in the future, dozens of people will escape and inevitably leave traces.
As long as they are discovered, the Netherworld Sect will die if they wipe out this place. It is okay to hide a small number of clan members, but it is still unreliable to bring all the clan members over.
Wang Daoyuan still needs to continue to the outskirts of the Tianzhan Mountain Range to find a safe place for his family to live.
