One day five years later, Lu Yu was exchanging his cultivation experience with Wen Renxue. Suddenly, a flying sword message interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Lu Yu, come to this cave!" Ling Tian's faint voice came from the biography.
Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned slightly and said, "It's here after all. Wenren, you put away all the elixir. I have a feeling that maybe I will never go back to this cave again."
Wen Renxue nodded slightly, and walked towards the medicine garden lightly with lotus steps. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants inside are carefully transplanted into special wooden boxes.
An hour later, a ray of light flew out of the cave, heading straight for the main peak of the Lingtian Mountain Range.
In Ling Tian's cave, Ling Tian was discussing something in a low voice with Bing Yu beside him. Suddenly, both of them stopped talking. Looking in a certain direction, after a while, a figure appeared in the cave, it was Lu Yu who had just arrived.
"Meet Master!" Lu Yu saluted.
"Well, not bad. You have finally advanced to the teacher realm." Ling Tian nodded slightly. Then he pointed to the woman beside him, and introduced: "This is a good friend of my teacher, Fellow Daoist Bingyu!"
"Greetings, Senior Bingyu!" Lu Yu bowed and saluted. When he came in, he had already noticed that this woman was in the imperial realm, and he felt that this sword emperor named Bing Yu should be stronger than Ling Tian.
"Hey, it's Nephew Lu Xian. We are all from our own family, so you don't have to be polite!" Bing Yu said coquettishly. Before the words fell, he took a light step and appeared in front of Lu Yu in an instant. He helped Lu Yuxu up with his white jade hands, and dangled his proud breasts in front of Lu Yu seductively. This scene looked extremely glamorous.
At this moment, Lu Yu was not in the mood to enjoy it, but just silently ran the unknown formula in his heart. Ever since he had achieved a small success in the second layer of unnamed heart art, Lu Yu has become more sensitive to these illusions or charm skills. The moment Bingyu approached him, Lu Yu automatically activated the nameless heart formula in his body. This made Lu Yu startled, and became even more afraid of the woman in front of him. Illusion and charming skills can usually kill people invisible, but they are more terrifying than some real skills.
Seeing that Lu Yu was not charmed by her, Bing Yu was slightly amazed. Although he didn't use much strength, he was able to resist in the teacher's realm, which really surprised Bingyu. The original dismissive view of Lu Yu also gradually put away. Thinking of this, Bing Yu giggled at Lu Yu, and immediately returned to Ling Tian's side.
Seeing Bingyu deflated, Ling Tian secretly rejoiced. This Bing Yu relied on her own charm skills, every time Ling Tianfeng would seduce a few of her disciples away. For the sake of the overall situation, Ling Tian refrained from speaking. However, not saying it doesn't mean that Ling Tian has no idea about Bing Yu.
"Lu Yu, I think you should have guessed why my teacher called you here." Ling Tian said lightly.
"Yes, it should be the thing mentioned a hundred years ago." Lu Yu replied calmly.
Ling Tian nodded and continued: "The place the three of us are going to on this trip is an ancient site called "Jiuzhong Palace". It is left behind by an ancient power named "Yu"."
When Lu Yu heard "Yu", a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of the fragmented scroll in his hand. Isn't it also left by this ancient and powerful man named "Yu"
"Little guy, do you have any questions?" Bing Yu, who was standing aside, noticed the abnormality on Lu Yu's face, and asked with a half-smile. As soon as these words came out, Ling Tian also looked at Lu Yu curiously.
Hearing this, Lu Yu said without changing his face: "I just wonder how this ancient ruins could be useful to juniors. With the strength of the two seniors, can't they crack it?"
"Hmph, if it was that simple, would the old man still look for you?" Ling Tian said displeasedly after hearing Lu Yu's words.
"Brother Ling, why do you have to embarrass a junior? It's understandable for the little guy to want to know!" Bing Yu blamed.
After listening to Bing Yu's words, Ling Tian also instantly thought of the importance of Lu Yu's trip, and now he should not offend him too much. So he coughed a few times, and explained calmly: "The Jiuzhong Palace is relatively famous among the many ancient ruins in Suixing Lake. The main reason for this is naturally that Yu, who founded the Jiuzhong Palace, was also a well-known grand master in ancient times. A man of ability. His astonishing cultivation and extraordinary refining methods are unprecedented. Of course, part of the reason is because of the weirdness of this Nine Layers Palace."
"Weird?" Lu Yu muttered, looking at Ling Tian curiously.
"The Jiuzhong Palace is divided into three levels. Each time you pass through a level, you must form a group of three, and you have to pass through one level alone. As long as you pass through one level, you can get a reward. If you pass through three levels in a row, you can get the final prize." Reward." Ling Tian explained.
"Reward? I don't know what reward is worth your shot?" Lu Yu asked with a smile. He concluded that one of the three levels must be on his own, so he has no fear of Ling Tian. Simply ask all at once, and plan ahead. He kept Xia Lao's words in his heart.
"The rewards for the first two levels are the same. After passing the first level, you can get one Shouyuan Dao Fruit, and the second level is two Shouyuan Dao Fruits." Bing Yu interjected.
"Could it be that the Shouyuan Dao Fruit is the legendary fruit that can increase one's lifespan by taking it!" Lu Yu said in surprise.
"It's exactly this fruit, but it's just that the Nine Layers Palace has passed through countless years. The first and second levels have already lost the longevity fruit. Otherwise, we don't need your help to break through the third level to get the longevity fruit Dao fruit." Ling Tian said slowly. There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in the words.
Hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly realized why the two of them tried their best to go to Jiuzhong Palace. Shouyuan, this thing that makes many monks work hard for it. Once a monk reaches the spiritual realm, his lifespan will increase by 300 years, that of a teacher will increase his lifespan by 800 years, and that of an emperor will increase his lifespan by 2,000 years. This is what many monks want most when they strive to improve their realm. And this Shouyuan Dao Fruit, as long as you take it, you can gain a thousand-year lifespan. How can this not make these imperial monks happy! Don't underestimate this millennium, maybe with the addition of these millennia, these imperial realm powerhouses were lucky enough to break through the imperial realm and become the top existence in the sword domain.
"The two seniors couldn't pass the third pass, how could I pass the third pass?" Lu Yu asked with a strange expression.
When Bing Yu and Ling Tian heard this, expressions of helplessness appeared on their faces. Immediately, Ling Tian smiled wryly and said: "The test of this third test is not cultivation, but refining! The key of this third test is a random magic weapon. Just like the jade plate refined last time, it is The key to the third level last time. As long as you forge this key within seven days, you can break the third level. However, the most depressing thing is that the monk who forges this key must be a young monk. That is, only those who are under 200 years old Can."
Hearing this, Lu Yu showed a strange look on his face, and muttered, "A 200-year-old is actually just a young man in the cultivation world."
"Okay, kid, you've finished asking all your questions. Let's get ready too. We're leaving in three days!" Ling Tian said lightly.
"Wait, I haven't asked any questions yet. What's in this third level? There must be a lot of monks in this trip to the Nine Layers Palace. How can you be sure that I can help you to the third level!" Lu Yu asked road.
"The thing in the third level. Naturally, it is the Shouyuan Dao Fruit, but if you want to get the Shouyuan Dao Fruit, you have to swallow a kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire to get it! I heard that it must be the third level." Only those who break through the level can be devoured, and the details are not too clear. After all, in the past ten thousand years, no monk has been able to break through the third level. These rumors are just some passed down from ancient times." Ling Tian calmly narrated road. It seemed that he didn't want to hide anything from Lu Yu.
"Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire!" Lu Yu blurted out with shock on his face when he heard this. Isn't this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire exactly what I've been looking for, I didn't expect it to be found in Jiuzhong Palace. And Lu Yu quickly thought of the nameless fire control formula. Isn't it created by that ancient power? Immediately, there was ecstasy in my heart. However, Lu Yu's face was full of anger. After all, devouring spiritual fire is a very dangerous thing, at least nine out of ten monks will die immediately.
"Swallowing the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, isn't this courting death?" Lu Yu said angrily.
"Isn't devouring spiritual fire something that every craftsman dreams of? If I have this opportunity, I will definitely try it without hesitation." Ling Tian said with a smile.
Lu Yu snorted and said nothing, but his face sank like water.
Seeing that Lu Yu was silent, Ling Tian said coldly, "Swallowing the spirit fire is a narrow escape, but if you don't swallow it, you will be dead." There was no concealment of murderous intent in his tone.
Hearing this, Lu Yu's face changed slightly, but he remained silent.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Ling Tian, why are you so alarmist? I heard that the success rate of cultivators who devour the spiritual fire of this world is almost ten to ten. Don't worry, little guy, we will naturally protect you Yes. Otherwise, wouldn't we not be able to get the Shouyuan Dao Fruit?" Bing Yu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lu Yu's face became slightly better. There was a sneer in his heart, one of these two people sang red faces and the other sang bad faces, did they really think that they were as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child
Seeing that Lu Yu's face turned better, Bing Yu smiled and said, "As for your second question, I'll answer it for you too. To enter the Jiuzhong Palace, you must have a token, and there are only four entry and exit orders in the Jiuzhong Palace." other than this, there is no second way to enter. Moreover, since the first level and the second level have no Shouyuan Daoguo, the Jiuzhong Palace is no longer valued by people. Therefore, these four The four tokens were also divided equally by the four giant cities, and they were given to the masters of the Refining Pavilion in their respective cities. So, every time the Jiuzhong Palace is opened, it is nothing more than those old faces. Everyone knows the basics. Therefore, We both have full confidence in you."
After listening to this explanation, Lu Yu had a general impression of the Jiuzhong Palace. After pondering for a while, he got up, said goodbye and went back to the cave to prepare things.
Ling Tian and Bing Yu looked at Lu Yu who had disappeared, but each had their own ghosts in their hearts. When Bing Yu was about to speak, Ling Tian made a silent gesture. After arranging a few sound-proof arrays in the cave, he felt relieved. He and Bing Yu are secretly planning something.
It's just that neither of them noticed that right where Lu Yu was standing, there was a little ant lying quietly on the ground, motionless, as if it was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them...
