The underground Lingchi is located in the center of the eastern part of Jiangnan Prefecture. It is surrounded by a series of volcanoes, all of which are active volcanoes. Every once in a while, a volcano will erupt.
It is precisely because of such a harsh environment that no sect has established a sect here. However, underground, there are layers of spiritual pools, with a total of seven layers.
It is said that nearly a hundred years ago, the four major sects fought over the ownership rights of these spiritual pools.
During this period, no matter which sect is occupied, it will absorb the spiritual power of each level of the spiritual pool without restraint.
But slowly, the problem gradually emerged. Due to the various sects absorbing the spiritual power of the spiritual pool and fishing for the best, three of the seven-level spiritual pools were exhausted.
The spiritual power contained in the remaining four levels of spiritual pools is also much less than before, and they are in danger, as if they will disappear at any time.
At this time, the four sects made a truce and sat down to discuss things.
In the end, it was decided that the four major sects would jointly arrange formations to form a barrier to protect the underground spiritual pool, so that the spiritual pool could slowly recover.
However, it would be a pity to leave such a treasured place unused, so the four major sects agreed to hold a four-sect conference every three years. During this period, the barrier could be opened and only the disciples of each sect in the Qi refining period could enter and practice for half a month.
There are two main reasons why it is stipulated that only disciples in the Qi Refining Stage are allowed to enter these conditions once every three years.
First, every three years, the spiritual power of each level of the spiritual pool is the most abundant. Entering into practice at this time can have the best effect on the practice of the disciples of each sect.
Secondly, the spiritual power that disciples can absorb during the Qi refining period is limited, and the spiritual pool will not be overdrawn easily. Fishing from the lake must not happen again, otherwise this treasure land will be destroyed.
A full meal or a full meal, you can still carry the four major items.
On this day, the flying sailboats of the four sects gathered together. Each boat was so huge that it seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and it carried hundreds of disciples.
No matter which sect, there are the most disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. If some of them can break through to the Qi Sea Realm, the strength of the sect can be greatly improved.
Therefore, each sect strongly encourages its disciples to participate in the Five Sects Conference. Even new disciples over the years can participate as long as their cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining or above.
As for why those below the fourth level of Qi Refining are not allowed to participate, it is because those below the fourth level of Qi Refining are really just cannon fodder, which can only increase casualties and have no other effect.
These will become clear to the disciples of each sect after they enter...
On the Yuxu Sect's big ship, Wang Liang stood among the disciples, looking so inconspicuous and ordinary. But in the front position, stood a beautiful girl, Yan Bing.
Yan Bing is at the seventh level of Qi refining, which is a level of cultivation that only many inner disciples have.
But she is so low-key that with such outstanding appearance and strength, not many people in Yuxu Sect talked about her some time ago.
...Actually, it is also related to the things Wang Liang caused. The old disciples paid most of their attention to this year's new disciples, Duan Lei. It is normal for the others to be temporarily ignored.
Speaking of Duan Lei, he was secretly struck by Wang Liang in the early stage, and Xu Renfei came to accuse him later... Anyway, he is inseparable from Wang Liang.
As a result, this genius with superior spiritual roots is still seriously injured and has not recovered. He can only regret missing this Five Sects Conference.
But without Duan Lei, there would be other people who would notice Yan Bing, such as the person standing in the front row, whose appearance is 60% similar to Xu Renfei.
He is Xu Renfei's younger brother, Xu Renxiang, one of the quasi-talented disciples of the Yuxu Sect, the ninth level of Qi Refining!
When the elders of the four sects jointly opened the barrier, Xu Renxiang, who was standing in the front row, did something special and did not enter with the other would-be geniuses.
After deliberately waiting for Yan Bing's row, Xu Renxiang stood next to Yan Bing with a smile and said like a gentleman;
"This junior sister looks unfamiliar. She must be a new disciple this year. This is definitely her first time entering the underground spiritual pool.
But don’t be afraid, junior sister, senior brother will protect you. How about waiting for senior brother to find a spiritual pool with abundant spiritual energy and soaking in it with junior sister?”
Yan Bing rolled her eyes at Xu Renxiang, ignored him, and went straight into the barrier to speak.
Xu Renxiang didn't care and followed him shamelessly, fearing that it wouldn't be that easy to just give up.
Wang Liang in the back row saw this scene and had a bad feeling in his heart.
[Ding! The beautiful girl was molested, please host justice and beat up Xu Renxiang! Completion reward: three times of directional disguise (perfectly disguise the appearance and body shape of others, each time can last for a quarter of an hour.)]
'Sure enough...' Wang Liang covered his forehead, feeling quite helpless;
'It is impossible for the system to stop causing trouble, and there is no such thing as a safe and stable cultivation of immortality, alas...'
Wang Liang really wanted the Directional Disguise Technique. After all, the previous Disguise Technique was the same as the Voice Changing Technique. It could only disguise people with more popular and iconic faces, but could not disguise them as others.
.
And this kind of technique that can perfectly disguise the appearance and body shape of others may be useful in many places in the future. For example, if you disguise yourself as an elder, you can go to Wanbao Pavilion to get some treasures, or if you want to do something.
Before the incident, I disguised myself as someone else, etc...
In short, there are many similar functions, so even if this system task is a bit troublesome, Wang Liang does not want to give up easily.
After passing through the entrance of the barrier, you immediately saw a fiery red world.
The sky is red, the earth is red, the mountains are red, it seems that even the air is red.
Every time you take a breath, you can feel the burning heat. It is hard to imagine what kind of spiritual pool can exist in such an environment.
But as mentioned before, the spiritual pool is not on the ground, but underground.
I saw everyone who entered here rushing in one direction, which was probably the underground entrance.
Wang Liang was not as anxious as others, thinking that if he entered as early as possible, he would be able to occupy the spiritual pool earlier.
Taking advantage of the lack of people around, Wang Liang used the disguise technique and transformed into his cold appearance again.
Anyway, disciples from the four major sects are here. Apart from being able to tell which one is from which sect by looking at their clothes, who else knows each other?
At the same time, Wang Liang also hid a line of spiritual roots and turned them into mixed spiritual roots of the four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire. It can be said that he has changed from the inside out.
After doing this, Wang Liang walked towards the underground entrance and secretly hid a storm talisman in his hand in his sleeve.
…
As mentioned before, the three levels of the underground spiritual pool were exhausted decades ago.
But after decades of cultivation, some of the spiritual pools on the third floor have recovered, but only very little, and the spiritual power they contain is also weak.
The entrance to the underground is a cave. When you first enter, it is dark, narrow, and blocked, but when you get deeper, it suddenly becomes clearer and very bright.
Because in this underground world, there are streams of magma flowing everywhere, emitting red light that illuminates the entire underground space.
Where there is no magma, there are red stone floors and some deep pits in the cracks.
Those dry deep pits may have been where the spiritual pools were decades ago, but unfortunately, not many remain now.
But neither too much nor too much, there is still something. Deep in the depths, you can vaguely see a few sparkling pool surfaces, and they are steaming with steam.
When Wang Liang saw this scene, he thought it was just one small hot spring after another.
Is it so miraculous that a breakthrough can be achieved by soaking in a hot spring?
