Ball Ball Cultivation

Qiuqiu quickly interrupted Lan Li and acted along with him: "Doesn't it look familiar? It's very similar to your Hundred Herbs Picture."

Lan Li thought: This is clearly half of the route map to the Xuanmin Cave Mansion under the sea in the Immortal Demon Continent.

But he still agreed: "Yes, I was wondering why it looked so familiar."

The city lord had doubts. The information that the alluring woman had revealed in order to survive was ambiguous. He asked directly, "Your Honored Lord, what exactly are your intentions towards our Shenwu Continent?"

Otherwise, the map would not be hung in the study.

Lan Li looked at Qiuqiu, waiting for her to make the story more reasonable. Qiuqiu thought for a moment and continued to talk nonsense: "I don't know the details. I heard that it was about looking for a passage to ascension. Now it seems that although this is a passage, it is a passage to the underworld, not a passage to ascension." She also sighed sadly.

City Lord: This ugly woman is much smarter than the concubine who is only beautiful. It seems that my dream of going to the upper world will depend on her.

He glanced at the guard beside him and soon saw that Lan Li's storage bag was placed on the tray being brought over.

"Open this, take out the Hundred Herbs Map and compare it with this hand-drawn map to see if there are any discrepancies."

The city lord issued an unquestionable order in a negotiating tone! This was to check whether Qiuqiu's map was tricky.

Lan Li's real treasures were all in the storage ring and were not lost. He was very calm and did not show any panic expression. He just rolled his eyes.

Seeing Qiuqiu winking at him, he pretended to be surprised and took the storage bag. After trying several times, he complained in frustration: "The storage bag won't open, how can we go back!"

Qiuqiu pretended to comfort him and took the opportunity to slip a note into his hand.

The city lord did not see the answer he wanted, and the two were forced to stay here temporarily.

In just half a month, Qiuqiu saw the concubines in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion appear one after another. At the beginning, they were quite polite, mainly investigating and winning over Lan Li. Then they started the most common false accusations and beatings, and finally forced Lan Li to fight back.

This time, Lan Li was so angry that he lost control of his strength and smashed a corner of the rockery in the yard with his bare hands, which allowed the concubines in the backyard to live in peace.

In fact, this is also a test of Lan Li and Qiuqiu by the city lord. Lan Li claims to be from the upper realm, so he must show his difference to prove himself!

The city lord couldn't tear his face off directly, so he indulged the concubines in the backyard. After learning that Lan Li had destroyed the rockery, he went to Cangmang Mountain to report and ask for instructions.

Three days later, the city lord brought two old men from Cangmang Mountain, followed by a young man and a young woman, and moved into the city lord's mansion.

When they saw Qiuqiu and Lan Li, they took out a translucent stone, which looked somewhat like an unevolved spirit stone.

After placing the stone in the hands of Qiuqiu and Lanli for a while, the stone became visibly more transparent.

Qiuqiu didn't recognize what it was, but Lan Li exclaimed, "Spirit-absorbing stone! How could there be a Spirit-absorbing stone here?"

The two old men performed a Taoist salute to Lan Li and Qiuqiu. The old man in black said, "My two Taoist friends are from Mount Everest Continent. I am Jin Jingyun from the Jin Family in Jinshan City."

The old man in gray said: "Huang Junyou from the Huang family of Jinshan City."

Qiuqiu stepped forward and introduced his family background: "Taixu Sect Danfeng, Taoist name Yuanchu".

Lan Li felt a little awkward and embarrassed to reveal that he was dressed as a woman, so he immediately gave himself a name: "Zaixia Li Lan". Later, fellow Taoists such as Qiuqiu called it his stage name.

Seeing the two men's aging appearance, Qiuqiu asked, "How many years have you been trapped here? How many monks are still trapped here?"

Jin Jingyun sighed and replied slowly, "We are the only two still alive. We have only been in this world for sixty years. In Mount Everest, we both reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. We traveled outside in search of an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and were brought to this desperate place by a strong wind."

The old man in black was more sensitive. "Once you enter this realm, your Dantian is sealed. Your spiritual energy cannot nourish your body, and you will slowly age over time. Sixty years have passed, and my appearance has gone from that of an eighteen-year-old boy to a very old man."

Qiuqiu felt a little creepy after hearing this. What girl doesn't love beauty? "Can we go to Cangmang Mountain to take a look? How can we confirm that the passage to the upper world is in Cangmang Mountain?"

Jin Jingyun: "It took several fellow Daoists searching through ancient texts to find a clue. The most important evidence is that three hundred years ago, a genius swordsman split open space with pure sword power and took the opportunity to ascend and leave. The remaining sword marks can still be seen on Cangmang Mountain."

Lan Li lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get the Soul Absorbing Stone?"

Jin Jingyun glanced at Huang Junyou and said, "Cangmang Mountain, Tiankeng Stone Eye."

Qiuqiu: How come there is a sinkhole here too! Later I found out this sinkhole is not that sinkhole!

With the horses provided by the City Lord's Mansion, it took less than two days to reach the foot of Cangmang Mountain.

The route looked more and more familiar to Qiuqiu. Isn't this the place where he woke up?

It seems that this vast mountain may really be a passage to leave this world.

At Lan Li's insistence, Jin Jingyun first took them to see the Tiankeng Sea Eye.

The waves inside are surging, swallowing up the sky and the earth, strangling all things, which is terrifying to watch.

Qiuqiu has experienced many times of time travel and space travel, and his understanding of space is better than many people.

After investigating, he quickly gave the answer: "This is an energy tide. How long does it take for a cycle to last?"

Jin Jingyun: "A major upheaval like this occurs every sixty years, and smaller ones occur every twelve years."

Qiuqiu spent three days observing the sea eye here, recording dense data, and used three dozen pieces of straw paper just for the calculations.

Sometimes Qiuqiu would tell his own inferences to the two elderly people around him for verification.

"The high tide lasts for twelve months, followed by twelve months of low tide, right?"

Huang Junyou was a little excited: "Yes, Master Yuanchu, have you found a way to go back?"

Qiuqiu: "I do have a solution, but I'm not sure if it can be implemented. Let's discuss it in detail when we get back."

Huang Junyou: "I have already prepared food. Fellow Daoist Yuanchu has not eaten for the past three days, and Fellow Daoist Lilan is very worried."

This soul-killing mirror had no spiritual energy to nourish the body. Qiuqiu, who had relaxed, felt a long-lost hunger.

Following the mountain road, we were soon led to a valley, where food had already been set out in the grand hall in the middle.

Qiuqiu saw the buildings along the way and seemed to chat: "These caves in the middle are quite similar in style to those in the cultivation world. Which Taoists built them?"

"Yes, the three in the middle have been worshipped as Taoist temples protecting the country by the dynasties here for thousands of years."

However, along the way, there were no royal guards, and only a few Taoist children were encountered. There was no sign of the style of a royal Taoist temple.

Later I found out that the remaining monks had nothing special about them and were just ordinary people.
