In the cold and damp cave, the crisp sound of dripping water droplets sounded like falling beads, resounding in this wide and silent cave.
Luo Jianqing followed behind Li Xiuchen's eight people and entered the road in the center.
This road was obviously different from the road that Li Xiuchen and others had taken in the past. The further inwards they went, the more piercing the cold wind blew, as if it had smashed through everyone's bones, causing everyone to shiver.
In addition, the light here is also getting darker.
Originally, there was no lighting in this cold light cave, and mortals could not see at all. As for the cultivator, it is much better and can barely see things. However, on this road, the darkness of the environment is no longer a problem of light, but a layer of hazy cold air blocking everyone's eyes and blocking their sight.
After walking for about a mile, Lingye, who was headed by him, said, "Brother Li, this road seems a little weird, why don't we turn around and change the road quickly."
Li Xiuchen shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Ling, we have only walked one mile, and we have found a lot of cold light and jade liquid. Now we have not encountered any danger, you are too concerned, we will continue to Just walk downstairs, you will definitely find more cold light jade liquid."
"But… "
"Hey, Big Brother Ling, the most likely is to encounter a three-star ice beast. The eight of us work together, even a three-star ice beast has the power to fight. The attack power of the ice beast has never been strong, you just need to seize the moment, the three-star ice beast. It's not like we can't be killed."
Lingye finally did not object anymore.
Along the way, they did see a lot of cold light jade liquid. In just one mile, the number of this cold light jade liquid has exceeded the number they can see in three days. I am afraid this is really a big opportunity.
As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, and no one has seen a four-star ice beast in the Hanguang Cave for thirty years. Li Xiuchen was right. The strength of the eight of them is considered to be the strongest among the Jindan cultivators. If they really encounter a three-star ice beast, at least they can escape smoothly.
So, the group of eight continued to move forward.
Luo Jianqing followed behind them, only a hundred meters away, but none of them noticed. Looking at the cautious backs of these eight people, Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Most monks in this world die on the way to find opportunities. Opportunities are often accompanied by danger, so why don't they know it."
Xuan Lingzi said lightly: "My monks, how can we be afraid of danger."
Luo Jianqing nodded with a smile, looked up at his master, and asked, "Master, I heard that you have been to many dangerous places and experienced a lot of hardships before. How did you get through it? Did you ever look like this Li Xiuchen? In the same way, he always escaped from the dead again and again, often all the people fell, and he was the only one who escaped, and then vowed to avenge his dead companion?"
There was no fluctuation on Qing Jun's face, Xuan Lingzi looked down at his apprentice, his eyes gradually softened a little: "Because the teacher is never with others."
Luo Jianqing said in surprise: "Master, so you are so withdrawn?"
Xuan Lingzi narrowed his eyes: "At that time, the war between the two clans was very tense, and your master did not have much time to teach his teacher. Most of the time, as a teacher, he had to avoid those assassinated monsters while looking for opportunities to take advantage of the opportunity. Breakthrough. Especially before the Nascent Soul period, the cultivation speed of a teacher is not very fast, and when you form a Nascent Soul, you will have the power to fight back against the monsters who are chasing and killing, and it will be much easier."
Listening to this, Luo Jianqing showed a strange look on his face, and after a long time he said: "So... I am still very happy?"
Xuan Lingzi couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "Being born in a peaceful age has always been a blessing."
While the two were talking, not far away, a surprised voice suddenly sounded. Luo Jianqing immediately looked over there, and saw a big man stretched out his fingers in horror, pointing to a puddle three feet away.
"This... so many cold light jade liquid!"
The puddle was clear and blue, and a layer of white cold air constantly emerged from the water. The diameter of the puddle was less than half a zhang, but just around the puddle, layers of ice-white snow and frost condensed into blossoming ice flowers. Even at a distance of hundreds of meters, Luo Jianqing could intuitively feel a terrifying chill, and drilled straight into his dantian from the soles of his feet.
Luo Jianqing immediately ran the "Nine Lotus Capture the Sky" in his body to resist the terrifying cold.
An alchemy master once analyzed that the cold light jade liquid in the cold light cave is likely to be the same thing as the ice liquid of the ice beast. It's just that the ice liquid is more brutal and cannot be absorbed by the monks normally, but will damage the dantian.
Even from such a long distance, you can feel the heart-piercing cold, and you can imagine how terrifying that cold light and jade liquid is not far away.
Luo Jianqing watched from a distance, but did not move forward. He saw that Li Xiuchen and others took out the containers they had prepared and distributed the Wang Hanguang Jade Liquid.
Lingye said: "This must be at least 500 years of cold light jade liquid!"
Li Xiuchen also showed a hint of joy: "So much cold light jade liquid is really precious."
After taking the Cold Light Jade Liquid, Lingye's expression suddenly changed, he thought for a while, and said, "Brother Li, there is so much Cold Light Jade Liquid in this place, it must be very dangerous. I think we should turn around quickly. Well, it's enough to have these cold light jade liquid, right, brothers?"
The monks on the side all agreed with Lingye's words.
But seeing a dark light flashing in Li Xiuchen's eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ling, as you know, chances are not so easy to obtain. There are already so many cold and jade liquids here, if we go further, maybe we will Meet more. Now there is a great opportunity in front of us, do we just turn a blind eye and give up?"
Lingye was still very hesitant: "But Brother Li, we..."
Li Xiuchen shook his head and said with a sad face: "Since you guys don't want to go in, please forgive me and say goodbye first. I still want to go inside, to find more opportunities, to find more cold light and jade liquid. No. Entering a tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuchen walked away, ignoring the loose cultivators behind him.
Seeing that Li Xiuchen had gone further in, the loose cultivators headed by Ling Ye looked at each other and did not make a choice for a while.
A loose cultivator suggested to leave, but Lingye frowned in embarrassment, and finally sighed: "Let's follow quickly, Brother Li is in it alone, it's not as good as us together. There are many people and great strength, it is true No, we can still escape, right?"
After a quarter of an hour, Lingye regretted to the bottom of his bones.
A tall and burly white giant beast stood in front of them. There were five eyes on its lion-like head. With the slight blink of each eye, a gust of cold air escaped. It breathed lightly, and the snow-white ice flowers instantly condensed on the ground; it roared loudly, and the entire mountain wall was suddenly covered with ice flowers!
"Five... five-star ice beast!"
"Escape! This is a five-star ice beast!"
"It is equivalent to a five-star ice beast that is capable of transcending the tribulation period, this is a five-star ice beast!"
The eight people fled frantically towards the entrance of the cave. Li Xiuchen, who was the first to enter the cave, wiped his right hand, and a white light flew into his ring. Lingye and the others didn't see this scene, but Luo Jianqing looked in his eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
boom! boom! boom!
One after another, the ice liquid mixed with the extremely cold atmosphere sprayed out, sprinkled on the mountain wall, and froze the rock. Li Xiuchen and the others tried their best to escape, but the ice beast stomped on the ground with its four hooves, only to hear a "bang", the ice beast stood in front of them and roared angrily at them.
The ice beast is not a monster in the pure sense. Even in the tribulation period, the ice beast cannot speak. It could only stare at Li Xiuchen in the crowd with hateful eyes, and white cold air spewed out from its nostrils, as if it was already burning with anger, and it could attack directly in the next second.
Lingye was trembling all over, and those scattered cultivators were also pale with fright.
Among the crowd, only Li Xiuchen seemed to be frightened, but his eyes were full of anticipation. He hid in the middle of the seven loose cultivators, caught in the center by the crowd, raised his sword, but had no intention of attacking.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
The five-star ice beast let out several roars, but no one could understand what it was saying.
Among the scattered repairs, Lingye gritted his teeth and raised his long knife. He suddenly kicked his toes on the ground, and the whole person rushed out, like an extremely fast meteor. And after he flew out, three other cultivators also flew out, forming a square together with Lingye.
Spiritual power revolved rapidly in the bodies of the four, and a complicated formation suddenly appeared!
The four corners of the big formation were exactly where the four were, and they flew all around the ice beast in unison. Lingye shouted, and suddenly he looked at his left hand with a knife, and blood immediately flowed. The other three, like him, slashed themselves with a knife, causing blood to flow down their wrists.
These bloods converged toward the center along the lines of the great formation, and when they converged to the very center, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up.
Boom!
Luo Jianqing looked at this scene from a distance, and saw a burly and tall fire unicorn suddenly appear. Its body is composed of fresh blood, and the heart of its chest is a bright red gem, shining with dazzling brilliance.
"go!"
The fire unicorn roared and slammed into the ice beast frantically.
Just when the two giant beasts collided, the other three loose cultivators ran away with Li Xiuchen. One of them said: "This is a big formation that our seven brothers got ten years ago, called the Skyfire Qilin Formation. Brother Li, let's run, this Fire Qilin only has the cultivation level of the fusion period, and it is far from the opponent of this five-star ice beast. ."
While running, Li Xiuchen said curiously, "How could it be possible to gather a fire unicorn with the cultivation level of the fusion stage with only the strength of four Jindan cultivators?"
The other person didn't even think about it, and replied, "That's because of the flint in the fire unicorn's chest just now, that stone is the key to this sky fire unicorn formation. I don't have time to talk about it anymore, the unicorn won't last long, let's hurry up... ah! "
"Third Brother!!!"
A cloud of ice-white liquid came from behind the man, splashing only on his arm, but it instantly turned his arm into ice cubes. Seeing that the ice cube was about to spread to his body, the man chopped off his arm without saying a word. The arm fell to the ground and immediately shattered into tiny ice slag.
"Run!"
A huge ice beast chased from behind Li Xiuchen and the others. Behind it was a middle-aged man who had lost his left leg and right arm. The man flew out desperately, shouting "run quickly" while flying, but the ice beast in front of him didn't even give him a peripheral vision, chasing the four of Li Xiuchen desperately.
"Ice beasts never like to stay away from their own station, why is this five-star ice beast chasing us!"
"Is it crazy, why does it keep chasing us!"
At this moment, the ice beast suddenly sprayed the ice liquid, which was about to pour over the body of the "third brother". Li Xiuchen was the closest to the third brother, and when he saw this scene, he actually avoided a lot to the side, with no intention of blocking it at all. In a hurry, the others did not notice his behavior.
Seeing that the ice liquid was about to wrap the body of the third brother, it was precisely at this moment! Thousands of cyan sword lights rushed past, and the sword lights hit the ice beast, causing him to howl in pain.
Taking this opportunity, the third brother hurriedly ran a distance.
Li Xiuchen looked at this scene in astonishment, only to see a handsome and handsome man in blue clothes slowly walking out from behind the mountain wall and calmly walking in front of the five-star ice beast. The male cultivator wore a silver-white mask on his face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes and a slender jaw.
When the male cultivator appeared, the ice beast did not attack, but stared at him vigilantly.
The male cultivator walked all the way to the front of the ice beast, raised his head slightly to look at it, pursed his lips, and asked, "Since they have already left your territory, why are you chasing them?"
Hearing this, Ling Ye and the others, who had escaped from death, also hurriedly looked at the ice beast. They are also very curious about this point. As we all know, most of the ice beasts in the cold light cave are mild-mannered. As long as you do not enter their domain, they will not take the initiative to attack you. Of course, most of the cold light and jade liquid are within the domain of ice beasts, and they are their treasures. Humans have to invade their territory and fight against them.
The ice beast stared at the blue-clothed cultivator with a pair of big eyes like copper bells.
Seeing this, the Tsing Yi cultivator raised an ordinary black iron sword, moved his wrist, and boomed! A huge stone turned into powder. Seeing this scene, all the monks held their breath, and the ice beast shrank back even more.
After a while, the ice beast began to roar: "Roar! Roar!"
The Tsing Yi cultivator listened patiently, and at the end, he turned his head to look at Lingye and said, "You stole its cold light jade liquid?"
Lingye immediately opened his eyes wide: "How is that possible! Senior Mingjian, we have just entered the cave, and this five-star ice beast has attacked us. I didn't even see the cold light and jade liquid in the cave, so how could it be possible to rob us? Walk?"
The rest of the loose cultivators agreed.
When it was Li Xiuchen's turn, he said without hesitation, "I have never seen any cold light and jade liquid."
As soon as these words landed, the ice beast roared furiously, and a mouthful of ice liquid was sprayed at Li Xiuchen. This time, the Tsing Yi cultivator didn't try to stop him, but Li Xiuchen's reaction was quite fast. The five-star ice beast didn't even spray accurately. The ice liquid just wiped Li Xiuchen's hair and didn't even touch his skin.
Seeing this, Ling Ye and the others were all stunned, but the Tsing Yi cultivator laughed out loud: "You took it away?"
Li Xiuchen hurriedly dealt with the attack of the ice beast, where did he have time to hide his emotions. Hearing the Tsing Yi cultivator's words, a trace of nervousness flashed across his face, but it only took a moment for Lingye and others to shout angrily: "Brother Li! We treat you well, even at this time. , and try to let you escape first. If you really took the cold light jade liquid of this five-star ice beast, you should return it quickly, we can't afford it!"
Li Xiuchen said firmly: "I didn't take any cold light jade liquid at all!"
As soon as these words fell, the five-star ice beast spat out another mouthful of ice liquid angrily, but Li Xiuchen managed to dodge it.
"Li Xiuchen!" Ling Ye and the others have long lost their friendly appearance at this moment, they even picked up the big sword, as if looking at the enemy, stared at the unscathed Li Xiuchen, and said, "If you don't hand over the cold light and jade liquid, Don't blame our brothers for being ruthless!"
Li Xiuchen turned his eyes when he heard the words, and before everyone could react, he turned around and ran!
However, Luo Jianqing, who was waiting on the side, would let him escape like this
Lingye saw that the senior in Tsing Yi raised his finger slowly in the air, and an orb quickly rushed in front of Li Xiuchen, blocking his path. A light flashed on the orb, and in an instant, a light-colored barrier trapped Li Xiuchen in it, causing him to be instantly shocked.
Li Xiuchen tried hard to escape, but the barrier kept him still.
Seeing this, the five-star ice beast suddenly quieted down, raised its paws lazily, and started walking towards Li Xiuchen. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Luo Jianqing suddenly sent Lingye seven people flying with a sword. At the moment when the five-star ice beast turned around, the frost floating sword flew out from the eyebrows, the blue sword light rose up, and the overwhelming sword shadow went straight to the ground. Cleave to this ice beast.
"Ow!"
"what!"
Two screams sounded at the same time.
The first one was the five-star ice beast that was sneak attacked, and its chest was ripped open by sword energy, and countless cold air quickly overflowed from this blood opening; the latter scream was from Li Xiuchen, I saw The orb in front of him suddenly burst into light, and before Li Xiuchen was ready, he was stunned by the light of the orb.
With no one in the way, Luo Jianqing finally raised his hand and took off his mask, looking up at the furious ice beast in front of him.
The ice beast has never been good at actual combat, so the five-star ice beast is also a little afraid of him, and has given up the idea of chasing and killing Li Xiuchen. However, Luo Jianqing couldn't stop there. He didn't come here to save those unfamiliar cultivators from the ice beasts, or just to suppress Li Xiuchen and let others see his true colors.
He is here for the ten thousand years of cold light jade liquid!
"Roar!"
Luo Jian grabbed the Shuangfu sword in his hands, held the sword behind him, raised his head slightly, and looked at the giant beast in front of him.
The next moment, the two collided, making a huge noise.
As a naturally formed ice beast in the cold light cave, this five-star ice beast has only one attack method of ice liquid. However, its claws are extremely sharp, and the animal skin is like a thousand-year-old black iron, and the frost floating sword can only leave a very shallow white mark on it. Its ice liquid is even more terrifying. As long as it is sprayed in the mouth, it can freeze the air. Luo Jianqing almost escaped repeatedly, but a trace of ice liquid was still splashed on his cheek.
Luo Jianqing raised his sword and cut off a small piece of skin on his face.
When the Frost Floating Sword stabbed the owner's face, he was very reluctant, but as long as it was stained with ice liquid, it had to be cut off. This was the most sensible choice.
Standing in the shadows and watching this scene, the cold and handsome Venerable in white clenched his fingers, and with a great deal of energy, he stopped his desire to strike this ice beast with a sword. And the next fight is a test for Xuan Lingzi.
Even if the five-star ice beast is not worthy of its name, it is still a monster in the tribulation period.
After this battle, Luo Jianqing left hundreds of wounds on the body of the five-star ice beast, but he himself was also full of scars. Every wound was removed by himself, two pieces of skin were torn on his face, and wounds were all over his body.
The Tsing Yi has long been torn into strips, revealing many mottled blood.
Luo Jianqing propped up the ground with his sword, gasping for breath. The five-star ice beast was not much better than him. Its four hooves had been struggling to support it on the ground, blood was pouring all over the ground, and a lot of blood was still gurgling out of the wound.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly! Move together!
"The sword leads the sky!"
"Roar!"
The sharp sword turned into a six-petaled green lotus, and spun into the white ice beast. At the moment when the two collided, the entire cave trembled violently twice, and countless rocks fell down, pressing the giant beast below, forming a small hill. Blood spilled out from under the hill, and soon dyed the whole earth red.
After hearing a shrill howl, the small hill trembled slightly, but finally returned to calm.
Luo Jianqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to recall the orb, and the enchantment trapping Li Xiuchen disappeared immediately. The next moment, Xuan Lingzi's figure flashed by, he directly grabbed Luo Jianqing's hand, and then transmitted the powerful spiritual power.
Luo Jianqing looked at him amusingly and said, "Master, when I was beaten by this five-star ice beast, you didn't show up. Now that it's finally resolved, you did show up to heal my wounds. Do you know, you There is a word in the mortal world to describe such behavior."
Where did Xuan Lingzi have the mind to think about this, he took out the elixir and gently smeared it on Luo Jianqing's wound with gentle movements.
Only to hear Luo Jianqing say: "This is called after the horse!"
Xuan Lingzi's body froze, and after a while, he continued to apply ointment to Luo Jianqing.
Although Luo Jianqing condemned, but he also obediently asked Xuan Lingzi to apply medicine to himself. He raised his eyes and looked at the other party, his eyelashes fluttered, and two scarred wounds abruptly lay on his noble and handsome face, which looked very miserable.
After Xuan Lingzi finished applying the medicine, Luo Jianqing turned to look at Li Xiuchen, who was lying on the ground, unconscious.
As soon as he moved his wrist, the ring on Li Xiuchen's finger flew to his palm. Luo Jianqing raised his hand and wiped away the consciousness that belonged to Li Xiuchen in the ring. At the same time, Li Xiuchen snorted, and a trace of blood flowed from his lips.
Xuan Lingzi watched this scene calmly. He didn't mean to condemn his disciple for stealing the treasure. Instead, when Li Xiuchen was about to wake up, a spiritual force passed by and stunned Li Xiuchen again.
Seeing this, Luo Jian nodded as a matter of course, took the ring and wanted to leave. This made Xuan Lingzi a little surprised. He stood there, looking at the appearance of his disciples walking away, without speaking.
Luo Jianqing turned to look at him, and with just one glance, he understood what Xuan Lingzi meant. He smiled and said: "Master, as you know, he is the protagonist of this so-called "Seeking Immortal". I have tested it before. First, I can't kill him. Second, if I want to do something, it can affect his fate, even affect his fate. Things that ruined his future - such as breaking his dantian, Heavenly Dao will come out to stop me."
Xuan Lingzi nodded slightly: "So, you just let it go?"
Luo Jianqing raised the Na ring in his hand, raised his lips, and revealed a sly smile: "Don't you think that all his treasures are in my hands now?"
Xuan Lingzi breathed slightly, and after a long time, he said, "En."
Luo Jianqing didn't care about Xuan Lingzi's appearance. As he walked out, he said: "I actually don't know exactly where the bottom line of Heaven's Dao is. But one thing is certain, I'm taking Li Xiuchen's acceptance ring now, Heavenly Dao did not use divine thunder to strike me, which means that this is still within its allowable range."
Xuan Lingzi was a little interested: "So?"
"So..." Luo Jianqing smiled lightly, the smile was harmless and pure, revealing a set of white teeth, "Master, let's look for Li Xiuchen every three years in the future. His collection ring is a treasure, I have always Very jealous."
Xuan Lingzi: "..."
Well, this kind of gradual clearing... Obviously very cute, not scary at all!
Just as Luo Jianqing said, in the next seven years, Luo Jianqing will go to Li Xiuchen every three years. At first it was difficult to find Li Xiuchen, but Li Xiuchen had a very good habit: every time he left Taihua Mountain to experience, he would report his whereabouts to the sect.
Since discovering this matter, it has been easy for Luo Jianqing to find Li Xiuchen.
Time passed by year after year, but Li Xiuchen never imagined that he would be so unlucky, always being taken away from the ring within three or five years. In addition to his half-step Nascent Soul's cultivation, he has been so poor in the past seven years that no matter what kind of treasure he has, it will always be taken away, which has made Li Xiuchen begin to wonder if someone is deliberately targeting him.
At the same time, the seven loose cultivators who had escaped from the Cold Light Cave also chased and killed him angrily. They also spread bad words about Li Xiuchen among the scattered cultivators, telling everything that happened in the Hanguang Cave, saying that he was a perfidious and ungrateful villain.
This made Li Xiuchen quite distressed, and there were many hardships on the way. His name has become synonymous with "little man" in loose cultivators, and everyone avoids him far away. Li Xiuchen defended himself many times, but these people did not believe his words.
He obviously just followed the group of people to practice in the cold light cave, and at the same time helped the group to get so much cold light jade liquid. In the end, he didn't get that ten thousand years of cold light and jade liquid, why would those people know to speak ill of him? Why can't I remember, he also helped those people get a lot of cold light jade liquid!
On the other side, Luo Jianqing's cultivation has steadily improved. With the two rings belonging to Li Xiuchen in his hand, coupled with the extraordinary double cultivation, in just seven years, Luo Jianqing's cultivation has reached half a step.
Why is it half a step to cross the calamity, and there is no promotion
This is what Xuan Lingzi did deliberately.
If it really reaches the realm of transcending the calamity, that day will definitely drop nine to eighty-one thunderbolts, slicing Luo Jianqing to death. Today's Luo Jianqing needs to accumulate strength, suppress the realm, and strive to cope with that life and death thunder disaster with the best state and the most complete preparation.
However, just as the seventh year ended and the eighth year began, something unexpected happened.
On the Thirteenth Sea of the Demon Realm, a stormy sea broke out. Within a day, the Thirteenth Sea Sea Lord died tragically on the spot, and before he had time to send the news back to the Demon Realm, Wu Yau’s army of people, Xiu, invaded directly from the Demon Realm and occupied the entire Thirteenth Sea!
