As he went down the rope, the light gradually dimmed. Lu Bei looked around and a striking depression caught his attention.
It is the size of a palm in length and width, and the shape looks quite familiar.
Lu Bei thought about it, took out the Yuhua Sect leader's order from his Qiankun bag, tried it, and found it fit perfectly.
An arc of water light spread out, and a hole that was large enough for one person to pass through appeared on the slippery well wall. A message prompted Lu Bei to trigger the mission.
[You have triggered the quest [The Secret of the Feathered Gate]]
[Task Description: Yuhua Sect of Sanqing Peak is a small sect that no one cares about. The former head, Mo Buxiu, is a rather mysterious monk. Few people know anything about him. Do you want to know the secret of Yuhua Sect? Go ahead and search for it. Mo Buxiu has put everything in the underground palace.]
[Main quest: Solve the mystery, reward 30,000 experience points]
[Side quest: Not triggered]
[Do you accept?]
[whether]
"Sure enough, the map jumped."
Lu Bei accepted the mission. Comparing it with his previous experience in exploring the ruins, he realized that the underground palace in the ancient well was his first copy.
He stepped into the cave, being careful of Mo Buxiu's tricks, and used the compass to guide the way forward. He soon opened another familiar object.
Ever-burning lamp.
The style is exactly the same as when exploring the ruins.
Lu Bei's mouth twitched as he walked down the stone steps. After hitting two dead ends, he arrived at the end of a passage.
The muddy cave is hundreds of meters long. The fallen stalactites and stalagmites have compressed most of the space in the cave. With the eternal lamps, the light and darkness are constantly intertwined, making it look a bit eerie.
The formation-breaking compass trembled slightly, reminding Lu Bei that there was an offensive formation ahead. He took out the black gold straight knife and strode in according to the instructions of the compass.
In just a moment, Lu Bei found the center of the formation under a stalagmite.
Powered by spirit crystal, the layout is quite rough.
Lu Bei suddenly had an idea and threw a Spiritual Awakening Pill, which fell into the mud and triggered the formation to defend against invaders.
Balls of mud gathered and swelled up, turning into fat mud figures that paced blindly back and forth in the passages blocked by stalactites and stalagmites.
[Side quest: Defeat the clay figurine formation, reward 10,000 experience points]
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, and driven by his experience, he drew his sword and charged into the formation, and in no time he beat the clay figure into mud.
The core of the formation was not destroyed, and the mud on the ground quickly revived, rising up in groups, and moving with heavy and slow steps to surround Lu Bei.
Lu Bei's eyes lit up as he watched. After slapping away the mud once more, he took out the spirit crystal at the center of the formation.
Without energy support, the mud could no longer rise and the cave became completely quiet.
"What a good formation! Master has put a lot of effort into it!"
Lu Bei clenched the spirit crystal in his hand, secretly thinking that it was worthwhile to become his disciple. Although Mo Buxiu himself had never instructed him, he did put a lot of effort into his training.
This can be seen from the clay figurine formation.
For Lu Bei, who is at level 20 in the foundation-building stage, the clay man formation has almost no lethality, but this may not be the case for him who is at the novice stage.
When every player leaves the Novice Village, there will always be one or two Novice Guides who will jump out, either the village chief, the blacksmith, the village chief's daughter, the village beauty, or the pretty widow whose blacksmith's husband has died, telling the players that the outside world is very dangerous and that there is a mass grave under a tree at the entrance of the village, and it won't be too late for the players to level up there before leaving.
The clay figures move slowly and have an impressive output, making them very suitable for training newcomers. Their significance is equivalent to the mass grave under the tree at the entrance of the village.
Lu Bei collected the spirit crystal, walked through the cave, and after hitting two dead ends again, he arrived at the end of the stone path.
[Side quest: Defeat the Straw Man Formation, reward 20,000 experience points]
…
Outside the Yuhua Gate, the sloping stone steps extend downward, hidden in the green shade of old trees.
A figure in black walked up the stone steps and came to the Yuhua Gate. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but stopped in mid-air and straightened his clothes.
The man was about 27 or 28 years old, with a handsome face and deep eyes. He should have been a potential pretty boy like Lu Bei, but his stubble was too abrupt and his temperament was lazy, which made him look weak and ten years older. His stock value was greatly reduced.
Even so, this is still an uncle who can live a worry-free life relying on his looks.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and after a moment, the door opened slightly, and a red head popped out, looking up at the stranger curiously.
The man in black was stunned. Seeing the fox's lively eyes, he knew that it had awakened its intelligence and could understand human speech. He said politely, "I'm here to see Lu Bei from Yuhua Sect. Please inform him."
As soon as he finished speaking, three more red heads popped out and formed a vertical line along the door. Four pairs of eyes looked at the man in black together.
"Uh, isn't Master Lu at home?"
"squeak."
"You can nod or shake your head."
"squeak."
"… "
Just when the man in black was at a loss, the little fox demon Hu Bo drove away the four troublesome little foxes, shook his head to indicate that Lu Bei was not at home, raised his paw to write a line of words, and asked the man in black to visit again another day.
"Oh well."
The fox blocked the way and refused to let him in. The man in black did not force his way in, but closed his eyes and sensed it. He sensed something, but his whole demeanor changed drastically, his eyes were sharp, and his lazy and tired look was swept away. He was like a sharp sword in the sky, and Huo Bo was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door.
“I know Junior Brother Lu is at the mountain gate right now. Tell him that Senior Brother from Lingxiao Sword Sect is waiting for him in the deep pool in the back mountain.” The man in black said this before soaring into the sky and disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
In the deep pool in the back mountain, Bai Jin was teaching Lu Bei how to practice to help him "open up". A man in black descended from the sky, his eyes like lightning piercing into the depths of the deep pool, his sharp gaze seemed to be able to split the cold water in half.
After a while, his hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily, and he covered his face and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, it's my fate, it's my luck. Junior Brother Lu, since you left Baoshan empty-handed, don't blame me for being rude!"
After the laughter stopped, the man in black waved his hand, took out the fishing rod and bait, moved his butt onto a small folding stool, made a nest, and raised his hand to cast a fish.
"There must be a lot of big fish in this deep pool. I can't sleep well if I don't catch one."
Still as a clock.JPG
…
As for Lu Bei, after passing the clay man formation, there were three more formations of straw men, wooden men, and stone men, as well as a dead end that could not be avoided no matter what.
All three formations triggered side quests for him, and the difficulty of passing the levels increased gradually. The final stone man formation's attack and defense were no less than the zombies he had encountered before, and it rewarded him with 50,000 experience points.
Because you jump off the map and then brush it, it's easy to gain experience, it feels like you're picking it up for free.
Arriving at the stone chamber at the bottom, Lu Bei used the seal of the headmaster to open the mechanism and obtained a Qiankun bag from the groove.
There were not many items in the bag, so Lu Bei first took out the envelope with "My Disciple's Personal Letter" written on it and read through it line by line.
My disciples, the second generation of Yuhua Sect disciples must know...
There were several lines of teachers' concern and warnings for the younger generation, and then the subject changed and quickly got to the point.
I have been a disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect since I was young. My master is also my father and has high expectations for me. He gave me the name 'Buxiu', which means 'self-cultivation'. However, I have been a free-spirited person since I was young and have caused many troubles. I feel ashamed of my master's love and rarely have time to cultivate myself.
In the first ten years of learning Taoism as a teacher, his aptitude was far superior to that of his peers, and his cultivation made great progress; in the next ten years, his practice encountered many ups and downs, and he had doubts that he could not find the answers to, and he became possessed by demons, and his cultivation level dropped greatly; after that, he was confused and didn't know where to go. His practice hit a bottleneck, and he was unable to break through, and gradually became like everyone else.
Finally one day, the master traveled far and wide in search of hidden ancient relics, gathered the secret techniques of Taoism, magic, monsters, and Buddhism, and got a glimpse of the destiny from the details.
Fate has been changed. Taoists are doomed to die, Buddhists will become dry bones in a grave, and demons will be short-lived. Even if these three have amazing talents, they cannot change their fate and seek eternal life in the fairyland.
Only the demon cultivators still have a glimmer of hope!
Therefore, he established the Yuhua Sect for his master, transformed himself into a demon cultivator, and sought immortality.
Lu Bei: (a`′a)
Is it really okay to tell such an important secret to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage? What if one day he is defeated by a powerful enemy and the truth is discovered by a witch, sorceress, fairy or something like that
