Han Changming stood in a long and narrow valley, with a cave several meters in size right in front of him.
"Friend Han, what happened just now?"
Old Man Xuan Ya wondered, and scanned the valley carefully with his spiritual sense, but found nothing.
"I searched on the ground but found nothing, so I planned to go underground to investigate, but I found something strange. I used my magic weapon to attack the strange part, and that's when such a big commotion occurred."
Han Changming explained that this restriction was indeed mysterious. If he had not activated his golden eye, he would not have been able to discover the existence of the restriction at all.
He was originally thinking about how to cleverly pretend to have accidentally discovered the restriction, but he found that there was no need to pretend at all. He really could not trigger the restriction, and he had no problem diving thousands of feet deep.
He moved towards the restriction, but was diverted by an unknown force and avoided the restriction. If it were Old Man Xuan Ya and True Person Jin Xia, they would not be able to detect the existence of the restriction at all.
This is also a very normal thing. If it is so easy to find the restrictions, the ancient cultivators' caves would have been discovered long ago, and high-level cultivators would not have to practice in seclusion, but would have to dig deep into the ground on each island and search slowly.
In desperation, he directly activated the magic weapon and attacked the restriction, which caused such a big commotion.
"According to the jade slip, the outer part is a small Qiankun formation. The small Qiankun formation is very hidden and difficult to detect. However, after so many years, the power of the restriction has weakened."
Chen Yingying analyzed.
"Since the restriction is here, just break it."
Zhenren Jinxia raised his hand and a golden light flew out. It turned out to be a golden round wheel with a diameter of about one foot. It was shining with spiritual light and the words "Xuanjin" were engraved on the surface. It was obviously a top-grade magic weapon.
Zhenren Jinxia pinched his fingers and the golden round wheel suddenly emitted bright golden light and grew to a size of several meters.
"go."
Zhenren Jinxia lightly pointed her finger at the cave, and the golden round wheel turned into a ray of golden light and went straight into the cave.
With a loud rumbling sound, the cave suddenly exploded and dust flew everywhere.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, the cave had collapsed, and no restrictions were found.
Old Man Xuan Ya summoned the White Crow Mirror and cast a spell. The White Crow Mirror emitted a white light and moved slowly, without finding any restrictions.
Zhenren Jinxia pinched his fingers and the golden wheel hit the stone wall.
A huge roar sounded, the stone wall shattered into pieces, and the golden wheel hit a certain void, as if it had hit a solid wall of steel. A faint yellow light appeared in the void, and then quickly disappeared.
"It's so secretive, no wonder it hasn't been discovered yet."
Old Man Xuan Ya was both surprised and delighted. It looked like the cave where a Divine Transformation cultivator had sat in meditation.
As Zhenren Jinxia activated his magic formula, the golden wheel glowed brightly and struck the void.
The sound of metal colliding was heard, the yellow light twisted and deformed, and the golden giant wheel flew backwards.
"Friend Li, it is better to release your spirit beast to break the ban! It is difficult to break the ban with ordinary means."
Han Changming urged, if it weren't for the magical powers of the spirit beasts raised by Jinxia Zhenren that could break the ban, they would not have invited Jinxia Zhenren to hunt for treasure together, no one would complain about having too many treasures.
Zhenren Jinxia slapped the spirit beast bag, and a golden light flew out. It turned out to be a giant beast with a bear head and a tiger body. There was a several-foot-long golden horn on the beast's head, and its eyes were also golden. This was a fourth-level spirit beast, the Jinxia beast.
"Go, break the ban."
Zhenren Jinxia gave an order, and the Jinxia Beast let out a low growl and flew towards the place where the yellow light was.
The huge body of the Golden Cloud Beast crashed into the void, as if it had hit a solid wall, and was blocked.
roar!
The single horn on the Jinxia Beast's head lit up with a dazzling golden light, and then sprayed out a golden light, hitting the void.
Ripples like water waves appeared in the void, and a yellow light suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"The Golden Cloud Beast is not strong enough to break the ban. Let's work together to break the ban."
Zhenren Jinxia urged, and with a spell, the golden wheel turned into a long golden rainbow and hit the yellow light.
Old Man Xuan Ya flipped his right hand, and a red light flashed. A small mirror with a shining red light appeared in his hand. It was actually a top-grade magic wave. Chen Yingying took out a white short ruler about a foot long, with runes flashing, which was also a top-grade magic weapon.
Han Changming was used to it. Zhongtian Continent was rich in resources for cultivating immortals. As long as one could afford the price, spiritual objects for forming infants were available for sale, not to mention top-grade magic weapons.
Spiritual treasures are indeed rarer, but they can still be bought. Simply put, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy spiritual treasures and spiritual objects for forming infants.
Han Changming did not want to attract attention. In the eyes of most cultivators, alchemists were not very strong. As long as the alchemist's alchemy skills were high, he did not need to do things like killing people and stealing treasures personally, as there were many masters following him.
He threw out a red flying knife, which was a mid-grade magic weapon.
The yellow light was submerged by the dense spiritual light, and the void vibrated and distorted.
The Golden Cloud Beast let out a sharp and piercing roar, its golden horn shone brightly, and a fist-sized gap appeared in the void. Several magic weapons rushed forward and hit the gap.
With a loud rumbling sound, the yellow light shattered into pieces, and a palace shining with spiritual light appeared in front of them.
The palace is extremely gorgeous with its flying eaves, brackets, red pillars and glazed tiles.
On the gold-painted plaque were inscribed three large silver characters "Yuhe Palace", which glowed brightly and were very eye-catching.
There is no gate in Yuhe Palace, the main door is open.
"Yuhe Palace? I remember that there was a Yuhe Fairy in Qingha Islands. She was an alchemist. After she entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage, she disappeared. It was rumored that she went to Zhongtian Continent. I didn't expect that she passed away here."
Chen Yingying said in surprise, looking at Yuhe Palace with fiery eyes.
She could clearly see the human-shaped statue in the Yuhe Palace. The statue was a girl in a blue skirt looking into the distance with a blue lotus leaf in her hand.
There is a bluestone passage on the left side of the palace. On the stone wall is an exquisite mural with a line of text next to it.
"I heard that Fairy Yuhe has a flying magic weapon, Yuhe Palace. This should be it!"
Old Man Xuan Ya said excitedly.
Han Changming's eyes were full of confusion. As far as he knew, Fairy Yuhe and True Lord Xuanguang were cultivators from the same era. Decades ago, the cave where True Lord Xuanguang sat in meditation was discovered, and it was said that a magical treasure had appeared in it.
Fairy Yuhe has an alchemy furnace of spiritual treasure level. If this is really the cave where Fairy Yuhe sat in meditation, the alchemy furnace might be here.
None of the four were reckless people. The Yuhe Palace was right in front of them, but they did not rush in rashly.
"Let's cover this place up first! If a Yuanying cultivator passes by here and discovers Yuhe Palace, it will be troublesome."
Old Man Xuan Ya raised a flag with a gleaming green light and chanted a spell. The flag suddenly lit up and wisps of green mist emerged. The green mist quickly spread out and covered an area of several miles.
With a flash of green light, the green mist disappeared, and Han Changming and the other four also disappeared.
If there were Nascent Soul cultivators passing by this place, they would definitely not be discovered without careful investigation.
He Yang discovered the cave where Jin Yangzi had passed away. A monk from the Xuan Ya Sect happened to pass by, which led to the conflict. The old man Xuan Ya did not want to make the same mistake.
Chen Yingying slapped the spirit beast bag, and a blue light flew out. It turned out to be a blue giant ape about ten feet tall. The blue giant ape was covered with blue fur, had water blue eyes, and had thick arms that were full of power.
This is a third-rank low-grade spiritual beast, the Black Water Ape, which has immense power.
"go."
Chen Yingying pointed her finger lightly at Yuhe Palace, and the Black Water Ape strode towards Yuhe Palace.
It circled the hall several times but found nothing unusual.
Zhenren Jinxia made a hand gesture and countless golden rays of light poured out, transforming into a giant golden crane about ten feet tall. The golden crane flapped its wings and flew into the Yuhe Palace, circling over the hall for several times, without any abnormality.
Old Man Xuan Ya was still worried, so he injected his magic power into the White Crow Mirror. The mirror surface lit up, and emitted a white light that covered the floor. The white light moved slowly, and searched the entire hall, but did not find anything abnormal.
"At the moment, there is nothing unusual, but for the sake of caution, someone needs to be outside to provide support."
Old Man Xuan Ya suggested that his suggestion was reasonable. There was a certain risk in going in to look for treasure. If you get the treasure, you can take an extra copy. No one will know anyway.
"Madam Yang and I will stay here! Fellow Daoist Yang and Fellow Daoist Han, you go in and break the ban and take the treasure."
Zhenren Jinxia volunteered to stay and brought Chen Yingying with her.
Old Man Xuan Ya frowned, thought about it, and agreed.
Han Changming had no objection, and he and Old Man Xuan Ya walked in.
Han Changming released a second-level monkey puppet beast and let it walk in front. He followed behind the monkey puppet beast, and old man Xuan Ya walked at the end.
The two walked towards the bluestone passage, not very fast.
The top of the head was inlaid with some exquisite blue jade, and runes were flashing.
Han Changming's eyes lit up with a dazzling golden light. He observed the situation in front of him. There were some special restrictions here that blocked the golden eyes and true pupils from detecting, so the golden eyes and true pupils could not play a big role.
He frowned and said nothing.
Deep inside the Yuhe Palace, in a stone chamber over a hundred feet in size, four Nascent Soul cultivators, three men and one woman, were talking about something. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a big belly, a round face and big eyes. He had several spirit beast bags on his waist, was wearing a green Taoist robe, and a green jade crown on his head.
Taoist Qingfeng, middle Nascent Soul stage, bandit leader.
A tall and thin old man in a green robe stood next to the middle-aged man. He also had the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage. A graceful young woman in a red skirt and a burly man in a blue shirt stood beside him. Both of them had the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Taoist Qingfeng held a light green bronze mirror in his hand. On the mirror were Han Changming and Old Man Xuan Ya. It could be clearly seen that Han Changming's eyes were golden.
"This fellow Daoist Han actually practiced pupil skills. Fortunately, we set up the Seven Star Separation Array, otherwise he would have discovered it."
The old man in green robe frowned and said with a serious expression.
"I don't know if he has powerful pupil skills. This person might be a variable. We must not let him live. We must kill him."
Taoist Qingfeng said with a cold face that every time they committed a crime, they would change the place, killing people, setting fires, and getting gold belts, and if they lacked property, they would rob. The four of them worked together and never failed.
"Second brother, Fellow Daoist Han is a fourth-level alchemist. He should not have any great abilities. Even if he has a magic treasure, it will be difficult for him to escape if he is trapped in Yuhe Palace. Let's spare his life! Aren't we doing so many things just for the resources to cultivate immortality? If we can subdue Fellow Daoist Han and let him make pills for us, we won't have to kill people and steal treasures all the time and change places frequently."
The big man in blue shirt hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously.
"We have been adventuring for so many years, and we are still alive today because we are careful. Don't forget that it was because of carelessness that our eldest brother was killed. We must not repeat the same mistake. Once we take action, we must not hold back. Fourth brother, you join hands with me to kill Fellow Daoist Han. Third brother, you entangle the old man Xuan Ya. Fifth sister, you activate the formation and trap the two people outside. The Nine Palaces Soul Locking Formation is a fifth-level formation. Although the formation flags are not complete, it is not a problem to trap a Yuanying cultivator and a Jindan cultivator."
Taoist Qingfeng gave the order in a serious tone, without any intention of negotiation.
Over the years, many cultivators have died at their hands, including several Nascent Soul cultivators. Their eldest brother was a late Nascent Soul cultivator, but because of his carelessness, he died at the hands of an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Yes, brother."
The three old men in green robes agreed. Taoist Green Bee was the strongest and had the highest seniority, so they obeyed his orders.
"This fellow Daoist Han is a fourth-rank alchemist. He should have a lot of top-grade elixirs. After we finish this job, we will leave the Qingha Islands and move to another place."
Taoist Qingfeng said in a deep voice with a serious tone.
Han Changming and Old Man Xuan Ya had no idea that they had fallen into the trap of the evil cultivator. Countless red runes suddenly appeared on the floor, and then a red flame burst out from the ground, and the temperature rose rapidly.
Old Man Xuan Ya frowned, sacrificed a white round bead, and cast a spell. The white round bead emitted rolling cold air, protecting him and Han Changming.
As the flames approached the white cold air, they retreated.
Apart from the red flames, there was nothing unusual. It looked like just an ordinary protective measure. The monkey puppet beast was engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes.
"Oh no, there's an ambush, get out now."
Han Changming shouted loudly, turned into a beam of light, and flew back the way he came.
He didn't find anything unusual, but he just felt it was a little weird, so he planned to trick the other party. If there was an ambush, he might be able to trick the other party out. If there was no ambush, it would be a false alarm.
Old Man Xuan Ya was slightly stunned. He didn't notice anything unusual, but when he saw Han Changming retreat, he also retreated.
At this moment, the floor suddenly lit up, and dozens of slender red lights shot up into the sky, transforming into a red railing, blocking the old man Xuan Ya's retreat.
Han Changming was the same, blocked by a red railing composed of thin red lights.
He frowned, and slapped the red railing in the air with his right hand. A yellow light flashed, and a yellow hand several meters tall appeared out of thin air and slapped the red railing.
With a dull rumbling sound, the big yellow hand slapped the red railing as if it had hit a solid wall. The red railing did not move at all, and billowing flames surged out, engulfing the big yellow hand.
Outside the Yuhe Palace, Zhenren Jinxia and Chen Yingying heard the explosion and frowned. They didn't know whether Old Man Xuan Ya and Han Changming were ambushed or triggered a restriction.
The ground shook slightly, and one hundred and eight silver lights shot up into the sky, gathering together and transforming into a huge silver cage, covering Zhenren Jinxia, Chen Yingying and Yuhe Palace inside.
Runes flashed on the surface of the silver cage, emitting a strong wave of restriction.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!"
Zhenren Jinxia's face darkened. They had been very careful, but unexpectedly, they still encountered an ambush.
Fortunately, he was careful and stayed outside. As long as he broke the silver cage, he could escape. As for Old Man Xuan Ya and Han Changming, he could not take care of them.
He had some friendship with Old Man Xuan Ya, but he preferred the death of a fellow Taoist to the death of an inferior Taoist. He was busy with his own affairs and had no intention of caring about the life or death of Old Man Xuan Ya.
