Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 182: Jindan Takes Action and Cracking the Storage Bag

Under normal circumstances, Huangquan Palace has strict laws and complete restrictions.

Only foundation-building cultivators can enter it, and it will last for a full month before closing.

After numerous tests, a new successor will be selected to revitalize Huangquan Dao.

However, due to the rebellion of the weapon spirit, more than ten Jindan Zhenren from both the righteous and evil paths worked day and night to crack it.

The original restrictions have basically become ineffective, and even the palace itself has been severely damaged.

At this time, the Huangquan Palace has become a battlefield for the Jindan Zhenren.

At this moment, no one cares about developing and utilizing the secret realm. Everyone has only one goal, which is to obtain the inheritance of Huangquan Dao.

Needless to say, the Magical Golden Elixir knew better than anyone else how powerful the Yellow Springs Secret Technique was.

Several righteous Golden Cores were unwilling to see the Demon Cult profit, and wanted to seize the inheritance first to nip the crisis in the bud.

In addition, for external aid such as Yaoshang Zhenren or Mingyan Zhenren.

Finding the third-level spiritual objects or spiritual weapons left behind by Huangquan Road is also an important goal.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Huangquan Dao almost unified the Southern Region back then. Everyone believed that there must be a lot of third-level spiritual objects preserved in the palace, and there must be more than one spiritual weapon.

Because the random teleportation array made very little noise and quickly self-destructed, leaving no trace.

So for the time being, no one knew that Xiao Chen had taken away the inheritance of Huangquan Dao and all the third-level treasures.

Everyone thought that the exit had just been opened, the trial had not yet ended, and the spiritual objects and spiritual weapons were still waiting for them to discover in the underground palace.

For this purpose, several demon masters have made full preparations.

As long as he can get the inheritance, he will not hesitate to pay a portion of his blood and life as a price.

In fact, in terms of time, it was the righteous golden elixir that opened the exit of the palace first.

But their original purpose was to rescue the disciples who were trapped in the palace.

Therefore, he did not continue to destroy the restriction at the first time, but used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message, guiding the righteous people to evacuate in an orderly manner.

In contrast, the Divine Fire Cult doesn't care about casualties among its own men.

The moment the palace restrictions were destroyed, several demonic golden elixirs entered one after another.

Quickly seize a relatively advantageous position and release spiritual weapons to block the attack of the righteous golden elixir.

Instead, he took the lead and gained a slight advantage.

Of course, doing so will have a consequence, that is, most of the demonic foundation-building cultivators have no time to leave and are accidentally injured by the aftermath of the fight between the Jindan Zhenren.

At the same time, many righteous monks who walked slowly were also implicated.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyan, wait a minute. There are still juniors inside who haven't left yet."

Seeing the continuous flow of spiritual fire in the hands of Master Mingyan, Master Yaohua hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

However, before Master Ming Yan could speak.

On the other side, True Man Yusha activated his magic while shouting, "Fellow Daoist Yaohua, please do not hesitate. If you don't act now, the Demon Cult will seize the inheritance."

The three of them still had the mind to talk.

Lei Yin Zhenren, Fu Jian Zhenren from Ling Yuan Sect and Jin Jian Zhenren from Cang Yan Sect had already rushed into Huang Quan Palace under the protection of their spiritual weapons.

He didn't care whether there were any foundation-building cultivators around, nor did he care about their identities. He attacked without reservation.

Upon seeing this, Yaohua Zhenren also waved his hand and unfolded a colorful ribbon.

While assisting his side from the flank, he secretly approached the underground palace where the golden coffin was placed.

However, a bloody mist soon blocked her way. "Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Yaohua, if you want to enter the main mausoleum, you have to get past me first."

The voice of Master Dusha came from the blood mist.

Since they came prepared, they had discussed their respective division of labor before entering the Huangquan Palace.

The mission of Master Dusha is to stop Master Yaohua.

His blood mist has undergone special rituals and can block the detection of divine consciousness and most spiritual eye techniques, making it difficult to locate his specific location.

It can just avoid the famous flying flower secret technique of Wanhua Valley.

Just like now, there are eighty-one flowers blooming beside Yaohua Zhenren, making her look like a fairy.

However, without the spiritual sense locking, the sharp side of these flowers cannot be brought into play at all.

Of course, this restraint relationship also holds true in reverse.

It can also be considered that Master Yaohua used the secret technique of flying flowers to trap Master Dusha in the blood mist, making it difficult for him to come out.

It’s just because Master Dusha entered the Yellow Springs Palace first, so the location of the blood mist is relatively better.

“In spring, hundreds of flowers bloom, among which the daffodils are famous!”

Immortal Yaohua pointed her jade finger, and immediately six elegant umbrella-shaped white flowers bloomed in the blood mist.

Each flower has six lobes, cutting through the surrounding mist.

At the same time, a strong floral fragrance fills the air, but it is not pungent when you smell it directly, but rather feels fresh and elegant.

"Haha, there's actually a toxin hidden in the fragrance of the flowers."

Dusha Zhenren's voice was filled with sarcasm: "Wanhua Valley is known as a prestigious and upright sect, so why would they resort to such unorthodox methods?"

Of course, that's what he said, but he was actually poisoning people secretly.

He just deliberately strikes up a conversation to attract attention.

Moreover, the poisonous mist he used was colorless, odorless and invisible, but as long as it quietly stuck to a person, it could devour all the monk's magic power in a moment.

But unfortunately, Master Yaohua is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

She arranged early warning measures right from the start.

As soon as the poison approached, a flower around her changed color, issuing a warning.

Then she waved her sleeves lightly, and a fragrant breeze blew over, blowing the invisible poison back.

It happened so quickly that the fight only took three breaths of time.

The two continued to fight for seven or eight rounds, but neither won.

The situation is basically the same in the other places.

Although the Jindan Zhenren all seemed to be holding nothing back when they attacked, their surging magic power could often sweep over hundreds of feet.

But in fact, they did not make any rash moves. They were both taking steady steps and testing each other's capabilities.

This doesn't mean that they are deliberately letting the opponent win, but rather that they are using ordinary means from the beginning and keeping their respective cards firmly in their hands.

Most battles between cultivators of the same level are difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more attention they pay to life-saving measures, and the longer the battle will last.

The reason why Xiao Chen can often kill his opponents in a short time is because he has advantages in many aspects and his overall combat power is completely overwhelming.

However, there is naturally not such a big gap between the several golden elixirs in the Huangquan Palace.

So it is inevitable that they fall into a state of anxiety.

Through frequent tests, the intensity of the battle gradually increased.

Not only in the Huangquan Palace, even the monks who had managed to escape were soon caught up in the battle again.

It’s okay for the monks from the sect to stay together.

With strength in numbers, they can protect themselves and evacuate in an orderly manner.

But independent cultivators are not so lucky.

Some other independent cultivators wanted to leave this dangerous place, but were robbed and killed along the way.
.
At first, someone just suspected that someone else had obtained a treasure in the Huangquan Palace, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob them.

Later, some people saw that the other monks were injured and began to have evil thoughts.

Regardless of whether the other party obtains treasures from the underground palace, you can always get rewards by killing him.

At this point in time, there is absolutely no order at all.

Some people even took the opportunity to seek revenge, and the scope of mutual attacks continued to expand.

In the end, almost all the independent cultivators started killing each other.

The entire Hezhou fell into chaos and turmoil.

And just when everyone was still fighting for the inheritance of Huangquan Palace, their lives were in danger.

However, Xiao Chen quietly took all the treasures and, with the help of the teleportation array, landed directly in a mountain thousands of miles away.

The only flaw was that he landed directly in the "mountains".

The whole person from head to toe was buried in a thick layer of loess.

If it were any other cultivator, he would be half dead by now.

All I can say is that the advantages and disadvantages of random teleportation are the same, and the main feature is the completely random landing point.

Not only will the enemy be unable to find your location after teleporting, but even you yourself cannot guess where you will be thrown before teleporting.

But the rumor still had to be spread. After all, within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Huangquan Palace, the most dangerous place was the palace itself, where a large group of Jindan Zhenren gathered.

Half an hour later.

"boom!"

An arm suddenly stretched out from a cave halfway up the mountain.

Then Xiao Chen pulled himself out of the soil: "Hey, I'm finally out. I almost suffocated to death."

The center of this mountain is made of granite, mixed with solid spiritual soil.

Thanks to his successful body training, otherwise he would not have been able to come out so quickly.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw a black bear behind him that had just woken up from sleep. It was grinning, with its big black eyes open, staring at him blankly.

"Hey, you're here too?"

Xiao Chen recognized it at a glance. This was the black bear he encountered in the cave when he went to the west of Yuanci Peak to break through.

"It's such a coincidence that we meet again so soon."

"Is this your new home?"

The black bear also recognized Xiao Chen. It immediately jumped up and rushed out using its hands and feet.

It was not until a long time later that a roar was heard in the distance.

Since it didn't want this cave anymore, Xiao Chen simply sat down cross-legged here and took a rest.

After seeing the black bear, he immediately confirmed his approximate location and felt relieved.

It doesn't matter if it's a little remote, as long as you are not sent to the Wan Yao Mountains, or teleported eastward to Quanzhou,
Then you don’t have to worry too much about safety.

After a short rest, I replenished my physical strength and mana.

Xiao Chen then calmly took out the pile of storage bags on his body and slowly began to crack them.

That's right, he now has a "pile" of storage bags on him.

Most of them came from the six brothers guarding the bronze door in front of the underground palace.

From the six of them alone, Xiao Chen got a total of thirteen storage bags.

There were also a few ignorant demon cultivators from the maze, as well as Zhou Xingyuan, who suddenly appeared in the underground palace and possessed the Gengjin Divine Thunder. Zhou Xingyuan also had three storage bags on him, for a total of twenty-three.

Apart from the previous demon hunting near Qingyang Mountain, this time he obtained the most storage bags.

Now that Xiao Chen is able to crack the storage bag, he cannot be said to be an expert, but at least he can be considered to have become proficient with practice.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least an hour to refine a storage bag.

But it only took him eight hours to finish all the storage bags.

It has a cracking speed almost three times that of an ordinary person.

"Why are you so poor? You don't even have a spiritual weapon."

Xiao Chen looked at the items in the storage bag and shook his head slightly.

Objectively speaking, the storage bag I got this time is much better than the last time.

Most of those magic cultivators last time learned their magic skills quickly, and they had almost no foundation and were completely penniless.

This time, most of the demon cultivators are elite and relatively wealthier.

But compared to three months ago, Xiao Chen's vision has become much higher.

Compared with when he left the state, it was completely different.

Now that he saw the top-grade magic weapon, he no longer felt the excitement he had when he first got the Fire Treasure Gourd.

Instead, it has become a commonplace.

"This cloud-embroidered robe isn't pretty. I'll sell it for spirit stones when I get a chance."

"There's also a brand new Secretly Refined Round Scale Shield. The market for defensive magical tools is pretty good these days, so we can sell both."

"Why is it another bone cane? Orthodox monks don't like this kind of shape very much, and it's not easy to sell even if I want to."

"This Huiyang Vajra Bracelet is a nice design, I can keep it for myself."

After looking at the top-grade magic weapon, Xiao Chen was too lazy to carefully distinguish the remaining eleven high-grade magic weapons.

It was a special mid-grade magical weapon that attracted his attention.

It was a custom-made inkstone, and it looked very new, as if it had never been used.

"I think I can keep this thing for a while. Maybe I can use it as a decoration in the future."

Xiao Chen thought about it and decided that when he had his own study one day in the future, he could place a set of four treasures of the study made of magical instruments in it.

Most of the rest of the things were classified as miscellaneous items by him.

Including but not limited to various elixirs, spiritual objects, and even secret manuals of martial arts.

Now that he has reached the great perfection of foundation building, these second-level skills, no matter what level they are, are no longer important.

"Hey, what just passed by?"

Holding a separate storage bag, he was about to store these unused secret manuals and skills separately.

Xiao Chen suddenly saw the four big words "Introduction to the Art of Formation".

He took it out again and saw that it indeed described how to get started with formations and how to set up several simple first-level formations.

Among them is the classic spirit gathering array, which is divided into two types: small spirit gathering array and large spirit gathering array.

"Array?"

Xiao Chen flipped through the secret book in his hand and asked, "Why don't I keep it and learn a trick?"

The reason why he had this idea was actually because he had considered future matters in advance.

After forming the golden elixir, a cultivator can have a lifespan of 500 years, or at least 300 years.

Therefore, in addition to practicing, many Jindan cultivators will also study one or two techniques to help themselves.

Generally speaking, with a long period of time and powerful spiritual awareness, one can reach a certain level of realm even if he endures it with great effort.

Moreover, most cultivators will not limit themselves to one Taoist art, but will try others.

Formation is a good choice.

Even if you cannot become a particularly powerful formation master in the end, having a certain foundation in formations can help you escape better when you are trapped in someone else's formation.
.
According to Xiao Chen's observation, at least in the Southern Region, many Jindan cultivators have learned some formation techniques.

For example, the large-scale defensive formation set up by Lingyuan Sect on Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain.

For example, when the Divine Fire Sect invaded, the four great walkers carried six formation plates inlaid with medium-grade spirit stones.

For example, not long ago outside the Huangquan Palace, several Jindan Zhenren used formations to break the restrictions of the palace.

After watching it many times, he also had the idea of ​​learning the formation himself.

"Well, this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I can keep this book 'The Beginning of the Dao of Formation' for now, but I'd better wait until I reach Dan Formation before considering learning the formation method."

"For now, we should first try to find a way to get to the Qingxiao Sect and see if we can find the evil spirit from their spiritual veins."

Having made up his mind, he put away "The Initial Explanation of Formation" separately.

I checked the rest of the secret books, but unfortunately I didn't find any more surprises.

Originally, there was a demon cultivator who carried with him the secret technique of Huangquan Dao.

However, Xiao Chen had already seen the complete version of the third-level cultivation method in the inheritance jade slip.

In addition, the twenty-three storage bags contained a total of 137,700 spirit stones.

Another large amount of spirit stones came into his account, forcing him to set aside a separate storage bag specifically for storing the spirit stones.

Xiao Chen looked at the numerous storage bags on his body and couldn't help but complain: "Good boy, I'm almost becoming a four-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang."

Even apart from those empty storage bags.

He now has four storage bags hanging one after another on the right side of his waist, and two of them are already full.

This is because he has more and more resources, far exceeding that of ordinary monks.

It also has something to do with the fact that he carries all his wealth with him everywhere he goes.

Those big families also have a lot of supplies, but most of them are kept in the family warehouse and rarely carried by one person.

"I'd better go to the Eastern Region when I have the chance and exchange it for the storage ring mentioned in the book."

When Xiao Chen was reading "Journey to the East" before, he noticed that it mentioned a special spiritual weapon called a storage ring.

It is said that the capacity is far greater than that of a storage bag and can easily accommodate even a large amount of basic supplies.

It is also more secure and there is no risk of being spied on by others.

The book mentioned that some storage rings even have self-destruct traps. Once opened in the wrong way, they will be completely damaged and can never be opened again.

This function can effectively prevent the robbers from getting caught.

Considering that even if you successfully seize the storage ring, you may not be able to get the items inside.

After seeing such a storage ring, many monks would not do such a thankless task.

"It's a pity that all the good stuff is in the East Region. Forget about it now."

Xiao Chen hung the storage bag around his waist and tied it tightly, then walked out of the cave and flew towards Xianghefang Market.

He planned to wait there for news and find out the latest situation.

As for Yuanci Peak, although it was quite comfortable to live there with abundant spiritual energy, he would not go back until he broke through the Jindan stage.

I have so many good things on me now, so I must not make that Jindan Zhenren jealous.

Although this possibility is actually small, Xiao Chen still decided to act cautiously when it is necessary to be cautious.

To cover his tracks.

The main purpose is to prevent someone from noticing that the timing of my appearance is wrong and then guessing that it is a teleportation array.

Not only did Xiao Chen put on his invisibility cloak for the first time in a long time, he also deliberately avoided the towns along the way and chose to walk through the deserted mountains and wilderness.

However, even though he was so careful, he still encountered a robbery and murder along the way.

A female Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing a red long dress and with a gorgeous appearance is chasing a young man in a white shirt.

"Fellow Taoist, help me!"

The young man was running away in panic when he suddenly saw Xiao Chen flying towards him.

He was immediately overjoyed: "My Taoist friend is Hu Feipeng from Huyangling. Please help me. I will reward you handsomely later."

Huyangling is just 600 miles northwest of here, which is very close for foundation-building cultivators.

Although the Hu family is not a big family, the nearby cultivators are quite familiar with them.

Therefore, Hu Feipeng directly asked for help, trying to get help in the name of his family.

However, what he couldn't see was that Xiao Chen looked at the two of them with a hint of coldness in his eyes under the cloak.

Now that you've met someone, should you silence them?
It would be easy for Xiao Chen to kill these two people without anyone noticing. After all, one was at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment and the other was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

But as soon as that thought came to his mind, he immediately became alert.

Something is wrong. Why would I have such an idea?

Hu Feipeng had no grudge against him, had not done anything harmful to the world, and was not a demon cultivator, so he should not be killed no matter how you think about it.

It must be because I have killed too many demon cultivators recently, which made me become irritable.

This is not a good thing. Even practitioners should have their own conscience and bottom line.

Well, it’s better to do two good things to balance it out.

According to Xiao Chen's personality, he would have covered his face and left, but after thinking about it, he decided to do a good deed.

Just do a good deed for the day.

So he stopped the sword and stood between Hu Feipeng and the female cultivator.

He used the cloak of invisibility to disguise his voice and said, "Well, since I happened to encounter you, I would like you two fellow Taoists to stop and explain the reason clearly."

"My fellow Daoist, why are you chasing him?"

Seeing this, Hu Feipeng quickly stopped behind Xiao Chen, taking the opportunity to calm his breath and repair his magic power.

The female cultivator opposite also stopped the sword light, frowned and looked up and down.

He immediately picked up a talisman with his fingertips and threatened: "Old man, this is none of your business, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."

"Get out of the way quickly, or don't blame me for not recognizing you with my talisman."

Xiao Chen thought about it and silently took out the newly acquired bone cane from the storage bag.

I just got this magic weapon and have never used it before, so it will definitely not reveal my identity.

Then, using his magical power, he revealed a pale aura: "I think it would be better for everyone to remain calm. What do you think?"

If these two people were not blind, they should be able to recognize that this is a top-grade magic weapon.

As expected, Hu Feipeng behind him suddenly widened his eyes and even forgot to regulate his breathing.

Then his face became extremely ugly and he felt a chill down his spine.

You're done for. You just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den.

Judging from the shape of the magic weapon, this is a demonic foundation-building technique that sneaked into the rear of Lingyuan Sect!
He looked at the invisibility cloak at this moment, and his face turned even paler.

No wonder he was traveling in a black cloak in broad daylight.

Not a good person!
