Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 62 Treasure Ship
A month later, Liu Xiaowen came out of retreat and successfully broke through to the second level of Qi training.

The Fire Tiger Fang in his hand had been soaked in mithril water and condensed with Earthly Evil Fire, and had already broken through to the middle level of Qi Refining.

He handed the Chen Liuhuo to Senior Brother Qiyun. Wang Qiyun was very interested and had been observing the Qi Refining-level Dinghuo fire these days.

"The combination of Xin and metal is gentle, and the secret silver contains water, which has a transforming effect. By refining this magic sword, it can just bear the Great Sun Fire."

The spiritual fire transformed from this seal script is now only at the Qi Refining level, similar to Liu Xiaowen's cultivation level, but it has many magical powers.

This great sun-fire is crimson on the outside, but contains a hint of golden light on the inside. It has the characteristics of both fire and the sun, and is extremely mysterious.

Liu Xiaowen knew that this fire was precious, so he did not plan to use the solar nature hidden in the Great Sun Fire. Instead, he catalyzed the outer flame to make it look like a certain Bing Fire to deceive people.

Yufeng left Shuanghui and went to Tianqing to pay a visit to his master. He saw his master and Master Si'an waiting at the top of the mountain from afar.

After talking for a while and making a plan, they flew out of Luoqing on the wind.

According to the agreement with Fan Huayan, they will meet at Hanyi Cliff near Yuliu. This place is located south of Pinghu Lake, which is the place where the cave was born.

There has been quite a bit of activity on the plain these days. Ever since the Lantern Festival, rumors have been spreading. The Cold Cliff has been emitting precious light at night, with a lot of spiritual energy flowing out, and a cave has faintly appeared. Many wandering cultivators nearby have heard the news and have come here.

"I think it's a good thing that this cave appeared. It happened to be when you were about to establish your foundation. There is a furnace of precious pills hidden inside, which can speed up the establishment of your foundation. Isn't it a coincidence?"

Tiantuo suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Xu Xuan felt somewhat helpless and could only sigh:

"Even if I knew there was a problem, so what? I can still not go. The most important thing now is to get the jade pendant. The elixir is secondary."

Riding the wind all the way, we passed Pinghu Lake and saw a mountain range full of wildness in the distance. It was the Yuliu Mountain Range. Not far away there was a canyon with a cave inside. It was the Hanyi Cliff.

Along the way, we met many independent cultivators and people from aristocratic families, and it was obvious that they were all here for this cave.

As soon as the few of them landed at the edge of the canyon, there were already many cultivators gathered around. Xu Xuan took a quick look and found that many of them had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"There are very few people in Chiyunnan who have established their foundation. These independent cultivators are all well-informed. When they heard there was a pill that could speed up their foundation building, they flocked here. But they didn't know they would fall into another quagmire. The origin of this cave is also somewhat strange."

Xu Xuan secretly calculated in his heart that several people had high cultivation levels and occupied a place of their own, so no one would come to disturb them.

As for the various families on the plain, Xu Xuan had only seen Duan Chengsi from the Duan family, who was accompanied by an old man at the eighth level of Qi Refining. People from the other families must have come as well, but he didn't know where they were hiding.

The cave has not been opened yet and the formation is still in effect, so no one dares to move.

After sitting there for several days without seeing Fan Huayan, Xu Xuan felt a little puzzled and asked Liu Xiaowen, who only said:

"Has the other party agreed on a date to come?"

Liu Xiaowen looked around but didn't see anyone coming. He was a little anxious and whispered:
"We have made an oath and should have come by now. Why are you so late?"

Wen Sian showed no emotion and said quietly:

"If they don't come, the three of us can join hands and fight our way in, and we can also seize the elixir."

What Xu Xuan and Liu Xiaowen were worried about was not this matter, but the jade pendant, which was much more important than any elixir. However, this matter could not be told to Wen Si'an, after all, she had no means to hide her true feelings.

After waiting for a long time, no one came. The formation of the cave had begun to shake, and it was obvious that it was about to open.

A monk in a black robe came from the opposite side. He looked middle-aged with a gloomy face. His cultivation had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. His aura was strong and it seemed that he was not from Chiyun, but from outside.

The black-robed monk was followed by an old man who looked like a servant, holding a black wooden treasure box. His cultivation had also reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Xu Xuan became slightly alert, not knowing why this person came.

"But is it Master Xu of Dachi Temple?"

The monk in the black robe spoke first, his tone kind.

"Exactly. What's the matter, my friend?"

"My name is Du He. I came here from the north. I heard that your temple has a good reputation, so I wanted to make friends with you. We can enter the cave together soon."

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoyou Du. However, we have already found someone and it is inconvenient to change them. I hope you can find someone else."

Du He seemed a little dissatisfied and said:

"I heard that Sect Leader Xu's disciple has been trained by the Blessing Spring. If something strange happens when he enters, it will be hard to say what will happen without help."

"Daoist Du He is so well-informed. Where did you get this information?"

Xu Xuan frowned slightly, wondering who spread this news.

"These are all trivial matters. It seems that the person you made an appointment with has broken the appointment. Why don't you come with me?"

The man in the black robe had a half-smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his expression.

"No need, fellow Daoist, please don't get entangled with me."

Xu Xuan ignored this person and directly refused. Du He just smiled slightly and left without any further entanglement.

"When did so many highly skilled independent cultivators appear on the prairie?"

Wen Sian looked suspicious, and obviously noticed something was wrong.

"They say they're from the North. I'm afraid something has happened there."

Xu Xuan replied in a low voice, feeling that Du He's cultivation level was clearly that of a direct descendant of an aristocratic family, so how could he appear in Chi Yunlai for no reason?

Finally, when the cave was about to open, a carriage came from a distance. Liu Xiao saw the maid in green skirt driving the carriage, and his expression eased a little. He said in a deep voice:

"coming."

Two people walked out from the compartment, a woman with a veil on her face and a beautiful woman, together with the maid in a green dress driving the car, they were none other than Fan Huayan and his party.

The girl whispered a few words to the woman, and the woman came forward with a smile and said softly:

"Hello, fellow Taoists. My name is Fan Qingzhu."

This woman's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which makes her quite powerful among all the cultivators, but I don't know what her methods are.

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhu, why are you so late? Did you encounter any accident?"

Xu Xuan saw that the other party's breathing was unstable, as if he had just fought with someone.

The woman looked at a monk in a pink robe not far away. The monk had almost come after them and now arrived at the Duan family.

Fan Qingzhu looked worried and sighed:
"I ran into Zan Luo on the way and had a fight with him, so I'm late. I hope Sect Leader Xu won't blame me."

Hearing this, Xu Xuan looked to the side and saw Zan Luo in a pink monk robe also looking over with an evil smile.

"What's the dispute between Daoist Fellow Qingzhu and that monk? According to my disciples, that Zanluo is the Duan family's tribute."

Xu Xuan asked softly, wanting to find out the reason. Fan Qingzhu's face was a little angry, and he said:
"This evil monk simply has his eyes on my disciple. He practices Joyful Zen and loves to abduct female cultivators to use as his initiators."

"My master and I came from the north, passing through Tianshui, and encountered this official by chance. We have been entangled with him all the way here. This evil monk has a high level of cultivation, surpassing me by some points, but now he has received orders from the Duan family and dares not cause trouble. We have only been entangled with him."

Xu Xuan understood and asked another question. He was a little curious about the origins of the person in front of him and said:

"I wonder why you came to Chiyun, and where did you get the news about this cave?"

Fan Qingzhu's expression changed slightly, he looked around and sighed:
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that I was originally a disciple of the Changyun Sect in the north. There are several people in the sect who have established their foundation. When the Northern Liao invaded, the mountain gate was occupied by someone, so I fled here."

"Most of the independent cultivators here have the same background as me. They all came here to escape disaster. First, a few of them came to Chiyunnan. There are no foundation-building facilities here, so gradually, they all came here to avoid disaster."

"As for the news about the cave, a branch of the Tianshui family has opened. I didn't get any benefits from it, but I only got a fragment of the map, which showed that there is another cave in Chiyunnan, so I came here to make plans."

After saying that, Fan Qingzhu took out a slightly yellowed fragment of the map, which roughly depicted the area of Tianzhou, with two marks on Tianshui and Chiyun.

"If you go in, I can help you find the alchemy room. However, when you want to take the elixir, you need a disciple from your sect who has been cleansed by the Blessing Spring to do it."

Xu Xuan agreed immediately. There was nothing wrong with Fan Qingzhu's background, so he felt much more relieved.

Seeing that the cave was about to open, they stopped talking and flew towards the Hanyi Cliff together.

The formation on the cliff cave continued to dissipate, and bursts of white mist emerged from it. The cultivators waited for a long time and rushed in one after another.

Xu Xuan and Fan Qingzhu entered first, and a few others followed. They broke through the fog and entered a spacious stone chamber, a different world.

This place seemed to be connected to a deep underground palace, carved along the mountain. There was a misty white mist on the ground, and bursts of sounds of bells and tripods could be heard.

The cultivators who entered seemed to be separated by the formation. They had originally entered together, but now they were separated.

Only Fan Qingzhu and Wen Si'an were by Xu Xuan's side. The rest, Liu Xiaowen, Fan Huayan and the maid, were nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that they had gone to another place.

Fan Qingzhu was not panicked and said to Xu Xuan in a deep voice:
"Go forward first. Hua Yan also knows the way to the alchemy room. We'll meet there later."

Wen Sian was a little worried and said softly:
"This is all we can do for now. I just hope the three of them don't run into any danger."

The place Xu Xuan and his companions entered seemed to be a place where soldiers were hidden. In front of them were stone platforms with magical weapons displayed on them.

The magical instruments displayed here are at least mid-level Qi-refining quality, but they have been left for too long and most of them have decayed. The occasional ones that are in good condition attract people to scramble for them.

On the three jade platforms in the center, there were three foundation-building instruments, shining with precious light, and all the cultivators present looked at them.

On the jade platform, there were a small green wooden boat, a gray gem with white mist emanating from it, and an ebony treasure fan surrounded by flowing flames.

"This boat seems to be some kind of magical instrument for flying across the water. It's extremely valuable, similar to the treasure ship sent by the Changsheng Temple."

Seeing this, Xu Xuan's mind raced, and he wanted to take the green wooden boat first. However, he didn't expect that several others also saw the value of the boat and started to fight for it.

The Dharma light scattered in all directions, and the small boat was unharmed, but it was blown away and landed next to a young cultivator who was at the second level of Qi Refining.

There was some greed on this person's face, but it turned into fear in an instant. Several spells came towards him and directly blew him into ashes.

Wen Sian has already summoned the Yu Si magic sword to clear the formation for Xu Xuan.

Fan Qingzhu, who was standing by, took a fancy to the precious fan and started fighting for it with two cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Xu Xuan's face was a little gloomy. He was controlling the thundercloud and almost got the small boat, but a black light came and forced him to avoid it.

The small green wooden boat fell to the ground. The person in front of Xu Xuan was none other than Du He. At this moment, he was holding a black jade magic knife, which was surrounded by black light and pointed directly at Xu Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this treasure ship? Unfortunately, I want it too. Why don't you be kind and let me have it?"

Du He still had that half-smile on his face, but the magic knife in his hand continued to gather magic power and gradually vibrated.

"If you want it, come and get it."

Xu Xuan said no more, and Dan Thunder roared out from his Qi Sea. The sword energy surged like a mighty river, slashing straight ahead.

The two men started fighting, and no one dared to get close for a while. Wen Sian, who was standing by, was dealing with the old servant, and chaos suddenly broke out.

The other party's cultivation level was one level higher and his methods were unknown, so Xu Xuan naturally did not dare to be arrogant. He generated sword energy and enveloped him.

The black light gathered on the black jade knife in the opponent's hand and pressed down, but was dispersed by the sword energy.

Du He's expression changed slightly, and he offered a muddy yellow talisman, which was clearly a foundation-building talisman.

This talisman seemed to be from the Earth Deity sect, and it exerted heavy pressure, causing Xu Xuan's sword energy to stagnate a bit. Du He swung his magic knife, rolled up the lightning, and barely blocked it.

"I never thought that in Chiyun, there are people who can cultivate sword energy. It's really rare."

Du He's voice was low, and he was obviously serious. He didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before.

Xu Xuan said nothing, and drew his sword again, using the Great Lake Cloud Sinking move. A chaotic purple light emerged from the tip of the sword, which was the Great Shock Prayer Thunder Lightning.

A star-shaped pearl rose from his sea of ​​qi, and the bright light from it scattered in all directions. The starlight flowed and hit the muddy yellow treasure talisman.

The magic knife in Du He's hand emitted a restrained black light, and when it was swung, a dark stream seemed to flow with it.

The man in black robe wanted to split the lightning, but Xu Xuan's sword energy was too condensed. In the collision, Du He was obviously at a disadvantage. His tiger's mouth cracked and his magic knife trembled.

"That seems to be all. He's not a significant figure."

Xu Xuan felt a little relieved, but he saw Du He make another move. He looked at the old servant who was fighting with Wen Si'an and shouted angrily:
"Mo Pu, quickly sacrifice the treasure!"

The old servant's face changed, and he immediately moved away, raised the black wooden treasure box in his arms, and a beam of blood shot out from it.

This thing fell straight onto Du He and drilled into his mouth, causing his aura to change. His eyes turned blood red, and something seemed to be crawling under his skin, making him look hideous and weird.

"A foundation-building magic weapon from the Blood Qi sect, something from the Demonic Path. This person is not simple, so be careful."

Tiantuo's voice sounded, and he obviously saw the origin of this thing.

Xu Xuan frowned, only to see the flesh and blood on the right arm of the person in front of him suddenly disappear, as if it had been sucked dry by something, leaving only the white bones holding the magic knife.

Du He's face was gloomy, blood was scattered all over his body, and there were some dark blue lines on his face. He said coldly:

"I came from the north, and no one except the people of Liao could survive under this treasure."

Xu Xuan said nothing, but pointed his finger, and Dan Ting turned into a thunder falcon and landed on his shoulder. He took out another magic weapon from the mustard seed.

An octagonal ancient sword, its body as bright as a mirror, with the carvings of flowing clouds and golden sun on it luminous.

Xu Xuan stretched out his hand, grasped it, pointed his sword at the opponent, and laughed loudly:

"I also have a treasure here, please take a look."

The air in the stone chamber seemed to be a bit hotter, causing the man in the black robe opposite to him to sweat a little.
