Now that you have decided to go to the fairy cave to find out what is going on, full preparation is essential.
"First step, we need to collect intelligence. From the authenticity of the news to the details, as well as what forces we will encounter, we need to understand these clearly. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible. This cave treasure hunt is not a joke.
For play."
The three of them quickly divided their tasks. Fang Yan and Lin Qingzhu were responsible for going to the north of Huiyue City, where the three religions and nine schools were most numerous, to inquire about information, while Li Mu was responsible for exchanging the gold tickets given by Ruolan into some Cangyun coins, and then purchasing them.
Some necessary elixirs and supplies.
Of course, Li Mu also had other plans in his mind. After finally holding such a huge sum of money, it was necessary to find Brother Niu to update some equipment appropriately.
"With one million Cangyun coins, I finally have money. I have to choose my equipment carefully this time, especially a defensive one for Qingzhu."
Li Mu was walking on the streets of Huiyue City, thinking about what equipment to buy in the simulation store. Now he and Fang Yan both have enough ability to protect themselves. On the contrary, Lin Qingzhu, as a pure sword cultivator, is capable of close combat and
Her defense capabilities are relatively weak, so it is extremely important to buy her some protective equipment.
"Let's buy some alchemy materials first. I have been stuck as a second-level mortal alchemist for a long time. I have been obsessed with improving my realm. This alchemy skill has really been abandoned."
When he had no money before, all Li Mu could do was keep fighting and practicing. Now that he has money, he naturally has to pick up the alchemy skills that he couldn't start because of his lack of money.
Li Mu's purpose in practicing alchemy was just to refine the required elixirs or to exchange them for money, but as his level improved, he found that the state of mindlessness when refining was very beneficial to the innate technique.
In practice, the two complement each other and get twice the result with half the effort.
First, he went to the Imperial General Bank to exchange the large gold ticket given by Ruolan into Cangyun coins and smaller notes. Then Li Mu went to the Huiyue City branch of Baicaotang, where he was familiar with the manager and the boss.
After negotiating the price, packing a batch of materials needed for third- and fourth-grade elixirs, and purchasing some elixirs needed for battle, there were still 800,000 Cangyun coins left in my pocket.
Seeing that it was already evening, Li Mu felt that his stomach was already growling with hunger. After not eating all day, he quickly returned to the inn and found that Fang Yan and Lin Qingzhu were already waiting for him in the front hall on the first floor.
"How's it going? Is there any harvest there in the north of the city?"
Li Mu wolfed down his food and asked. The north of Huiyue City is a gathering place for casual cultivators and civilians. There is a mixture of fish and dragons. All kinds of charlatans and warlocks and vendors gather there. It is also the first choice for obtaining information. "It can't be considered a gain.
, after Senior Sister Lin and I went there, we discovered that the news about the birth of a strong man in the Infinite Realm in the cave had actually spread throughout Huiyue City for a long time, and it cannot be regarded as a secret at all."
Fang Yan's words did not surprise Li Mu. The few casual cultivators he met at Jinfuxuan before were not very powerful, and the information that even they could obtain would not be a big secret.
"This news began to circulate in Huiyue City as early as three months ago. The specific source has been unable to be verified. The incident of the cave being born was about ten days later. Several large forces in the city have organized teams to hunt for treasures.
It even attracted several small nearby sects to participate, and of course some powerful casual cultivators also publicly announced that they would join the fight."
Collecting intelligence was Fang Yan's specialty. In just one day, he could learn about the target situation and the distribution of forces in such detail. This ability made Li Mu ashamed.
"It seems that it will be very difficult for us to gain something in this cave this time. With so many big forces involved, it will not be easy for us as casual cultivators to get a share of the soup. Well, you guys are watching me do this.
Well?"
After Li Mu finished talking about his worries, he saw his two companions looking at him with malicious eyes, as if he was the key to solving the problem.
"I said before that several forces in Huiyue City organized teams to hunt for treasures. We know one of them, and the person in charge of this treasure hunt has a good relationship with you."
Fang Yan's words made Li Mu's heart skip a beat. He was new to Huiyue City. How could he know such a powerful person? But something suddenly occurred to him and he stared at Fang Yan with wide eyes.
"That's right, it's Jin Fuxuan, and Miss Ruolan is the leader of their team. Brother Mu, it seems I'm going to trouble you this time to intercede with your sister."
Lin Qingzhu revealed the answer, but what Xiao Nizi thought in her heart was, "Huh, you are so good at shouting to each other, now it's your turn to take action."
"Jin Fuxuan is in the business of monster materials, why are you here to join in the excitement of this fairy cave? Could there be monsters in the cave?"
Li Mu spoke very easily, but the reactions of Fang Yan and Lin Qingzhu made the chopsticks he had brought to his mouth freeze in place.
"The owner of this cave is a person from a thousand years ago. Naturally, there can be no living monsters in his cave, but..."
"But it is said that the Lord of the Cave Mansion is not a practitioner of traditional heaven and earth energy. He is an insect master."
Fang Yan's hesitation, Li Mu's stunned expression, and Lin Qingzhu's helpless conclusion all pointed to one problem. This trip to the cave would probably be far more difficult than they expected.
Being an insect master is an extremely difficult path to practice. If the traditional cultivation system of heaven and earth energy is a smooth road that has been verified by countless predecessors, then every step of being an insect master is surrounded by dangers. After all, monks of this lineage are really too powerful.
Very few, so few that only one descendant appears every thousand years.
To this day, if the beast tamer is a heritage on the verge of extinction, then the insect master is definitely a unique skill that only exists in legends.
"No wonder even Jin Fuxuan wants to get involved. I haven't heard of another insect master being born in the past hundred years. Now that such a fairy cave appears, those big forces will definitely fight for it."
Li Mu now has some doubts about whether the fortune teller is trying to trick him. Although this fairy cave is good, if he is not careful, it may become his burial place. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, no one is sure.
"The cave we are going to this time is just the place where the insect controller practiced and lived during his entry into the Infinite Realm. It cannot yet enter the eyes of the superpowers and the most powerful people in the sect. It is said that so far, the people who have participated in this treasure hunt have
The strongest person is only a person who has reached the Perfect Transformation Stage, otherwise if there is a master figure who is in the Tribulation Stage, we won’t even have a chance to participate.”
Fang Yan's words made Li Mu couldn't help but nod in agreement. If only the strong men from the Transformation Infantry Realm lead the team to participate, then with the configuration of three of them, or three people and one monkey, it does not mean that there is no chance.
On the road to immortality, no opportunity comes easily, and it is not the style of the three of them to give up easily.
"Okay, tomorrow I will go find Sister Ruolan first to see if I can join their team. This way, I won't become the target of other forces' purges at the beginning. I still have to hug the thighs that need to be hugged shamelessly.
.”
The three of them were still discussing the details of their trip. The night outside the window of Huiyue City was getting darker, but the neon lights were bright enough.
