A bright water-repellent bead was embedded on the top of the cave, forming a water-repellent barrier that pushed the lake water outside, creating a waterless space of several feet in size.
At this moment, Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni were sitting cross-legged facing each other in this waterless space.
This place was originally the lair of a second-level water demon. Because of the arrival of the two men, the water demon became the food of the thunder dragon, and the lair was also occupied by them.
"The sound of the previous thunderstorm was too strong. There are also mages from the 'Multi-Wing Tribe' hunting the monsters in the lake around Muli Lake. It will definitely attract some people to come and check it out. I'm afraid we will have to hide for a while before we can leave."
In the cave, Zhou Chun looked at Luo Qingni and spoke first to break the silence.
When he was looking for activities around Muli Lake before, he had seen those "multi-winged tribe" mages flying in the sky hunting monsters in the water.
But relatively speaking, "Multi-Winged Tribe" mages rarely enter the deep areas of Muli Lake.
After all, although the water area of Muli Lake is vast, there are very few islands where you can rest. If it goes too deep, some low-level mages and mid-level mages may not have enough physical strength to come out.
When it comes to fighting in the water, these winged "multi-winged" mages are even more uncomfortable than human cultivators.
But the noise caused by the thunder dragon Baibai was a bit too loud. Zhou Chun was worried that it would attract senior mages from the "Multi-Wing Tribe" to come and check it out, so he quickly persuaded Luo Qingni to sneak into the bottom of the lake together, and find the water monster in front of him.
We have temporarily settled down inside the cave.
After listening to Zhou Chun's words, Luo Qingni also took advantage of the situation and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is right. It is indeed safer for us to hide first."
As soon as she said these words, she rolled her eyes and seemed to have put down some of her worries. She suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Zhang was so powerful that even Yan Qiyang died.
Your men."
When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Master Luo is joking. If Yan Qiyang and Master Luo hadn't consumed a lot of mana and cards in that secret realm, how could Zhang be his opponent with his strength?"
After speaking, it seemed that Luo Qingni was afraid that Luo Qingni would continue to ask about the "Tiangang Divine Thunder", so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Speaking of it, Zhang also had doubts in his heart. What if a senior mage from the 'Multi-Wing Clan' really came to investigate and discovered that place?
What to do in the secret realm?”
How could Luo Qingni not see what he was thinking, but she didn't care. After all, everyone has secrets, and she certainly didn't want outsiders to touch some of her secrets.
So he followed Zhou Chun's words and replied: "You can rest assured, fellow Daoist Zhang, not to mention a senior mage coming to investigate, even a master coming here, you won't be able to see anything!"
Hearing this answer, Zhou Chun's curiosity became even more intense, and he couldn't help but said immediately: "Can you tell Zhang about that secret realm? Of course, if Master Luo feels embarrassed, just pretend that Zhang didn't ask."
He just couldn't help but give it a try and didn't have much expectations.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingni only hesitated for a moment after hearing his words, and then quickly nodded and said: "Anyway, I have achieved my goal now, so there is no harm in talking about it."
Then he told Zhou Chun about the secret island.
It turns out that the secret island was a secret cave built by a certain Daoist cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage of the human race. Its specific existence time can be traced back to before the Tianyuan Immortal City was established. In short, it was a very long time ago.
More than a hundred years ago, when Luo Qingni was adventuring on the Duolan Grassland, he obtained some records about the secret island from a ruins cave, as well as three talismans for entering and leaving the secret island.
She first relied on the talisman to enter and search, and then found that the real treasures inside were protected by powerful forbidden spells, puppets, and monsters. It was not something she could handle alone, so she came up with the idea of looking for teammates to explore together.
idea.
So after her investigation, Yan Qiyang and another monk named Mo entered her selection list, and she finally confirmed them as teammates.
After the three formed a team, they visited the secret island many times to explore and gained a lot of good things.
But when they explored the "Hundred Fruit Orchard", something went terribly wrong because of the presence of the colorful arowana.
The casual cultivator surnamed Mo died directly in the battle with the colorful dragon fish. Yan Qiyang and Luo Qingni were each seriously injured and had to give up the Five Elements Spirit Fruit to escape from the secret cave.
The next thing is simple. The two of them knew the power of the colorful arowana, but they were unwilling to give up the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, a rare spiritual object that could help them form elixirs, so they spent many years collecting treasures that could deal with the colorful arowana.
And successfully obtained the Five Elements Spirit Fruit during this trip to the secret island].
It was only because Yan Qiyang had the desire to seize the treasure for himself that the two turned against each other. After successfully seizing the treasure, they had another big battle.
In the end, it was Luo Qingni who was superior and succeeded in overthrowing Yan Qiyang through Zhou Chun's trap that he had set up long ago.
In fact, what Luo Qingni said here is a little vague. For example, she must know who the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who left the secret island is, and even knows what treasures there are. She may even have no intention of letting Yan Qiyang live at all.
leave.
But Zhou Chun will definitely not expose these.
If it were him, he would definitely not tell the matter in too much detail, and he might not even be willing to tell outsiders.
He estimated that if Bai Bai's previous "Tiangang Divine Thunder" wasn't so powerful and frightened the other party, Luo Qingni might not be willing to talk about this now.
But after listening to Luo Qingni's words, Zhou Chun also cried out that it was a pity.
Unfortunately, the storage bag Yan Qiyang was carrying was shattered by the "Tiangang Divine Thunder", and everything inside was also destroyed.
Otherwise, the talisman that can enter and exit the secret island would be his now.
But he could only think about it in his heart, but he looked at Luo Qingni with a calm face and asked: "I have another question. If Zhang doesn't arrive here in time according to Master Luo's arrangement, what will happen to Master Luo?"
What should we do? Why does Master Luo believe so much that Zhang, whom we have only met a few times, will follow your arrangements and come to help you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing him ask about this, Luo Qingni immediately replied: "If fellow Taoist Zhang does not come, then I can only fulfill my promise and give away a Five Elements Spirit Fruit]"
Leave it to the old thief Yan. After all, in my current state and living in a foreign land like Duolan Grassland, it is impossible for me to really fight him to the death!"
"As for why I believe that Fellow Daoist Zhang will obey the arrangement, I am actually not completely sure that Fellow Daoist Zhang will definitely come. I am just doing it just in case. After all, Fellow Daoist Lu Chong and I are not familiar with each other, and I don't know whether they will come."
Since you have colluded with Yan Qiyang, the only one I can trust is you, Daoyou Zhang."
Having said this, he looked at Zhou Chun meaningfully and said: "Now it seems that I did not misjudge Fellow Daoist Zhang, and even looked at Fellow Daoist Zhang greatly!"
Zhou Chun was speechless after hearing her answer.
Could it be that the truth is so simple?
So those speculations he made earlier, were he thinking too badly about people, or were they too pretentious!
But I was still glad that I chose to believe Luo Qingni and came here.
Otherwise, you will miss a huge opportunity to form elixirs!
Thinking of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit that had been snatched from Yan Qiyang's hand, Zhou Chun's heart moved again. He couldn't help looking at Luo Qingni again and asked: "Since Yan Qiyang came to explore the secret realm with Master Luo, now he
If you die here, Master Luo, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by his sect when you return?"
"Yan Qiyang made an oath from the inner demon at the beginning not to reveal the existence of the secret island to others in any form. He would never dare to break his oath when he could obtain the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, so the Huangshi Sect would definitely not
Know the existence of the secret island."
"As for the fact that he came to Duolan Grassland with me for adventure but died, it would indeed be a bit troublesome if the Huangshi Sect knew about it, but he did not die at my hands. I can definitely swear the inner demon oath to prove that I am not lying.
If you think about it, the Huangshi Sect couldn't do anything to me at that time."
"And after I return to Tianyuan Immortal City, I will go into seclusion to formulate elixirs. Once I am released from seclusion, who will cause trouble for Yan Qiyang, a dead late-stage Zifu monk, and me, a golden elixir-stage monk!"
While answering Zhou Chun's questions, Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun with a half-smile and said, "I have answered all Daoist Fellow Daoist Zhang's questions. Now, would you like Fellow Daoist Zhang to satisfy my curiosity and answer a few of my questions?"
"Oh, what does Master Luo want to ask?"
Zhou Chun's heart trembled, and he immediately became highly vigilant, but he did not refuse directly.
Under the current situation, it should be impossible for him and Luo Qingni to fight again. Even because of their previous cooperation experience, the relationship may be further deepened.
Therefore, Zhou Chun would naturally be happy if he could further establish a good relationship with Luo Qingni, the alchemy master who was about to successfully form an elixir.
But that doesn't mean he's willing to reveal some of his secrets.
Luo Qingni seemed to see Zhou Chun's inner vigilance, and immediately smiled slightly and said: "Young Daoist Zhang, don't be nervous. I'm just asking you a few common questions. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer."
"Then ask Master Luo."
Zhou Chun thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Zhang Daoyou, what is your real name? What does your true appearance look like? Where do you come from? Why did you accept this escort mission this time? Do you still have extra Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass in your hand?"
Luo Qingni stared at Zhou Chun closely and asked a series of questions quickly.
She believed that these issues were not particularly personal. If Zhou Chun was not even willing to tell her these issues, it could be seen that he was not really willing to establish a relationship with her.
But little did he know that for Zhou Chun, these questions were more difficult to answer than matters involving personal matters.
After a moment of hesitation in his heart, Zhou Chun still bowed his hand to Luo Qingni and said: "Master Luo Mingjian, it's not that Zhang is unreasonable, it's just that it's not convenient for Zhang's real name and appearance to be disclosed to outsiders, otherwise he may be killed.
disaster!"
"As for why Zhang accepted the escort mission, it was purely a coincidence, because Zhang traveled thousands of miles to travel to the Kingdom of Zhou. In addition to seeking help from an alchemy master to refine the 'Hua Long Dan', he just wanted to see if he could
I got some pills to improve my mana cultivation, and I am also curious about Duolan Grassland and want to come over and see the scenery of this foreign land!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Chun saw that Luo Qingni's face had become unhappy, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said in a low voice: "Zhang does still have a Millennium Dragon Grass in his hand. If Master Luo wants it, I won't do it."
Cannot be exchanged!"
At present, it seems that the person in the Zhou family who may be able to use the thousand-year-old dragon-transforming grass is Zhou Daoquan. His blood-flame dragon python has a good foundation. After cultivating it to the second-level high-grade, it does have a slight chance of turning into a blood-flame dragon.
Although there are already many second-level dragon-born monsters among the other people's monsters, in fact, none of those monsters have the potential to transform into dragons at all, and there is no way they can successfully turn into dragons at the third level.
Therefore, it is not impossible to exchange a thousand-year-old dragon grass for treasures.
And this is the greatest sincerity Zhou Chun can show at the moment.
After all, he and Luo Qingni were not really familiar with each other, so it was impossible to tell this person his true details now.
What if you risk your own life on the character of the other party?
Fortunately, Luo Qingni's complexion improved slightly after hearing him say that he could exchange it for the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass.
But he still said: "Zhang Daoyou is too cautious. I even told you about this secret island. You also know that I have the Five Elements Spirit Fruit in my body. You know that Yan Qiyang died because of my plan."
You should know that I can't betray you!"
"Master Luo, please forgive me. It is true that the person Zhang offended has a big background. I dare not let him know easily. If I can no longer be afraid of that person in the future, I will definitely apologize to Master Luo in person!"
Zhou Chun apologized repeatedly with a wry smile on his face.
However, Luo Qingni did not dwell on this matter all the time. He quickly brushed off the topic and said, "It would be great if Fellow Daoist Zhang is willing to exchange for the Thousand-Year Dragon Transformation Grass. I can use the 'Zeng Yuan Dan' and other spiritual energy to improve my magic power."
The cultivation elixirs are exchanged with fellow Taoists, and keeping them will not cause any loss to fellow Taoists."
Hearing her words, Zhou Chun neither agreed nor refused, but looked at her curiously and asked: "Zhang would like to ask, Master Luo, what do you want the Thousand-Year Dragon Transformation Grass to do? Could it be that you have also raised a dragon-transforming dragon grass?"
Isn’t it a dragon-born monster?”
"That's not true, it's just that I know that a golden elixir stage monk has always wanted to find a 'Dragon Transformation Pill' for his pet snake demon, and he also happens to have something very useful to me. I think
Refining another 'Dragon Transformation Pill' and exchanging that thing with him."
Luo Qingni shook her head slightly and spoke her intention in a deep voice.
Is it like this?
Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully and immediately said: "In this case, Zhang is naturally willing to help Master Luo with this small favor."
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Luo Qingni looked happy and finally uttered words of thanks.
When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I don't dare to ask Master Luo to thank you. I just hope that Master Luo can make alchemy for Zhang a few more times when he has time in the future!"
"It's easy to talk about this. After I go back and successfully form the elixir, as long as Fellow Daoist Zhang provides the materials, I can help him make elixirs three times for free, and I can also give priority to helping him make elixirs in the future!"
Luo Qingni smiled softly and agreed.
She knew that Zhou Chun, like those monks who tried every means to make friends with her, was still concerned about her alchemy skills and wanted her help in making alchemy.
Instead of being angry about this, she was very happy.
Because she is not afraid of others plotting this, but is afraid of others plotting other things of hers.
For her, it doesn't matter who she makes alchemy for, it will help hone and improve her alchemy skills.
Next, Zhou Chun took out another thousand-year-old dragon grass on the spot, and Luo Qingni also took out two "Zengyuan Pills" and five "Jade Crystal Pills" in exchange.
It’s hard to say who suffered from this exchange. After all, if someone needed the Millennium Dragon Grass, someone would buy it for as much as 100,000 spirit coins.
And the pill Luo Qingni took out was exactly what Zhou Chun needed.
Especially those five "Jade Crystal Pills", which are pills that can be used by monks in the later stages of the Zi Mansion to improve their magic power. Each pill is worth fifteen thousand spiritual coins.
In the following time, Zhou Chun also seized the opportunity to ask Luo Qingni about the materials for elixirs such as "Longling Pill" and "Zengyuan Pill" to see if he could gather the materials for one or two batches of elixirs.
.
If possible, he would of course want to directly exchange those pills with Luo Qingni for improving his magic power.
But Luo Qingni said it when she exchanged elixirs with him, and now she has given him all such elixirs.
After all, Luo Qingni has been a late-stage cultivator of the Zi Mansion and has no need for such elixirs. Normally, even if he refines such elixirs in a furnace, he would exchange them for other treasures.
And even for an alchemy master like her, it is not easy to gather the materials needed for a batch of elixirs.
In fact, the reason why a casual alchemy master like her can help other monks make alchemy so easily is not only to hone their alchemy skills and earn spiritual coins, but also to build a network of contacts.
After this network of contacts is established and managed, if alchemy masters like them still need any materials for alchemy, they can look for them from the network of contacts.
But using your network of contacts to find the elixir means using up your own favors.
The relationship between Luo Qingni and Zhou Chun has not reached that point yet, so it is naturally impossible for her to do this just to make elixirs for him.
Zhou Chun could only find the materials by himself, and she helped to refine them.
What makes Zhou Chun a little disappointed is that Luo Qingni does not know how to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill". This pill seems to be the unique elixir of Master Ge Yun, and only one person in Tianyuan Immortal City can refine it.
But the good news is that one of the main materials of the "Zengyuan Pill" is the third-level demon pill. After his snake lizard inner pill was shown to Luo Qingni, the other party said that it fully met the requirements, but he still needed to find three more thousand-year-old spirits.
medicines and many auxiliary materials.
Zhou Chun checked the list of materials provided by Luo Qingni and found that two of the thousand-year-old elixirs collected by the Zhou family could be replaced. He only needed to find another thousand-year elixir and some auxiliary materials.
In addition to "Zengyuan Pill", "Huang Jingdan" and two other pills that can improve the mana cultivation of monks in the Zifu period, Luo Qingni also provided a list of main materials and some auxiliary materials that are difficult to find. After he collected them all, he also
It can be given to Luo Qingni to refine.
With these gains, Zhou Chun was completely satisfied with this trip to Duolan Grassland.
He doesn't plan to continue wandering on the Duolan Grassland. He plans to go back to the family to practice for a few years after returning to the Great Zhou Kingdom, put the Five Elements Spirit Fruit back into the family for storage, and collect relevant materials by the way.
Then, after Luo Qingni successfully formed the elixir, he would continue to travel to the Great Zhou Kingdom to collect materials and ask him to refine the elixir.
The plans were all good, but Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni had just stayed in the cave at the bottom of the lake for seven days. Suddenly, it was like an earthquake. The ground shook violently, almost causing the cave they were in to collapse.
.
"What's going on? Did you just encounter an earth dragon turning over?"
The violent vibration lasted for about a hundred breaths and finally stopped. Luo Qingni held up a cyan shield and looked at Zhou Chun with a surprised expression and asked.
The so-called "earth dragon turning over" is the interpretation of the earthquake imagination by cultivators.
According to the theory in the world of immortality, earthquakes occur because the gas in the underground earth veins is turbulent and unstable.
In fact, this statement is correct, because if cultivators use their great supernatural powers to interfere with the earth's veins in a place, they can indeed create local earthquakes.
After listening to Luo Qingni's words, Zhou Chun released his spiritual consciousness and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it's not a normal earth dragon turning over!"
"What do you mean by Fellow Daoist Zhang's words?"
Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun with a puzzled expression, and the look of surprise in his eyes became even stronger.
"When a normal earth dragon turns over, the vibration should not be just once, but will continue to vibrate, and there should be no abnormal signs in advance!"
Of course Zhou Chun didn't know much about earthquake phenomena such as aftershocks, longitudinal waves, and transverse waves at this time, so he just answered in words that Luo Qingni could understand.
After saying this, he said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see if there will be any subsequent shocks!"
However, they waited for another hour and did not see any second shock.
This made Zhou Chun more certain of his speculation.
Luo Qingni couldn't help but said at this time: "If it is true as Daoist friend Zhang said, could it be that there are powerful monks fighting to disrupt the earth's veins?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Chun to respond, he shook his head and said: "But this is wrong. Powerful monks usually fight at high altitudes. When they disturb the earth's veins, they usually occur during the attack on the mountain guard formation.
, it can’t be that the mountain gate station of a large tribe of the ‘Multi-Wing Clan’ is being attacked!”
“You’ll know what’s going on when you go out and take a look!”
Zhou Chun said, and he first released a few "Black Armor Golden Feathers" to fly up to the water to check, so as not to encounter the "Multi-Winged Clan" mage after getting out.
After a while, he found that there was no problem, so he and Luo Qingni came to the water surface, and covered up the mana aura and flew up to the sky to check.
Once they were flying high in the sky, the two of them soon discovered the strange phenomenon.
But in the far distance, large colorful clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
"That is... could it be the auspicious cloud of aura formed by the highly concentrated aura of heaven and earth?"
Zhou Chun looked at the colorful clouds with a surprised face and couldn't help but murmured.
"I'm afraid it's what you said, fellow Daoist Zhang. Looking at the momentum, it's either that some banned ancient ruins have appeared, or that a natural treasure somewhere has been opened, and the spiritual energy leaked out to form this kind of auspiciousness!"
Luo Qingni said with a solemn expression.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Chun.
It happened that Zhou Chun also looked at her at this time.
The two looked at each other and saw the worried look in each other's eyes.
Then Luo Qingni took the initiative and said: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang and I want to go somewhere. We can't stay here for long. I will leave as soon as possible!"
"Yes, no matter what the situation is, this area will soon become a place of right and wrong, and we cannot get involved!"
Zhou Chun sighed softly and said with a somewhat regretful sigh.
In fact, both he and Luo Qingni knew that whether ancient ruins were revealed or a treasure land was opened, it would be a great opportunity for immortal cultivators.
It's a pity that this place is in Duolan Grassland, which is the territory of the alien "Multi-Wing Tribe".
Now even they can see this kind of vision, and it is impossible for the mages of the "Multi-Winged Clan" not to be able to see it.
As for the past few masters who were equivalent to the Jindan stage monks, they and the Zifu stage monks could not escape.
So this is simply not something they can get involved with.
What's more, both of them have gained a lot now, and they are holding the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit in their hands. There is no need to take risks anymore when they are such a treasure.
After reaching an agreement in this way, the two immediately set off together to return to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
But Zhou Chun and his wife, who had gained a lot, were able to control their greed and not take risks to join in the fun. This does not mean that other immortal cultivators on the Duolan Grassland also have the same idea as them.
Just when the earthquake first occurred, colorful clouds appeared, and a group of immortal cultivators were at the scene.
In other words, the colorful clouds were created by these immortal cultivators.
A bald man in red clothes looked at the colorful clouds above his head with an ugly expression, and then looked at the group of people beside him with an angry face and roared: "Damn bastards, what did you do? It's not about formation.
Can the law cover up visions? Why has it become like this now!"
Facing the anger of such a Jindan monk, those Zifu monks were so scared that they trembled and did not dare to say anything.
And an array mage who was stared at by a bald man in red murmured to himself with an even more ashen face: "That shouldn't be the case. The 'Seven Stars Soul Locking Array' I arranged is under the auspices of seven Zifu period monks.
, it shouldn’t be that the leaking torrent of spiritual energy cannot be locked, what exactly is the problem..."
Seeing his appearance, the bald man in red clothes became even more angry and wanted to slap him to death on the spot.
Fortunately, at this time, another golden elixir stage monk present spoke.
"Brother Yuan, please calm down. Now is not the time to hold these juniors responsible. Now that this vision has appeared, we can no longer hide it from anyone here. Before the masters of the 'Multi-Wing Tribe' arrive, we will quickly go in and search.
Let’s talk about it later!”
The person who said this was a kind-faced old man in green clothes with white hair and a copper crutch in his hand. He really looked like an old immortal.
But the bald man in red clothes seemed to be very afraid of the old man. After hearing this, he first glared at the array mage, then smiled reluctantly at the old man in green clothes and said: "Mr. Chen, you are right, then please go first."
"Hehehe, since Brother Yuan is so kind, I would be disrespectful to you."
The old man in green chuckled and immediately jumped into an earthy yellow vortex in front of him that was spewing spiritual energy.
When the bald man in red saw this, he once again glared at the Zifu period monks fiercely, and then said in a deep voice: "You must form a formation to guard here, and you must support me until I come out!"
After saying that, he jumped into the khaki vortex.
There were only eight Zifu period monks left on the spot, looking at each other in dismay.
"What should we do? What if a few 'Multi-Wing Tribe' masters really come, do we really have to fight for those two old monsters?"
A Zifu monk whispered with a worried look on his face.
Hearing this, a Taoist priest in black with a goatee rolled his eyes and said, "What can we do if we don't work hard? Do you have a way to remove the 'Heart-Burning Curse' that Old Monster Yuan planted on us?"
This black-clothed Taoist was surprisingly the middle-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion who recruited Zhou Chun in Tianyuan Immortal City that day!
At this time, when they heard the black-clothed Taoist say the three words "Heart-Burning Curse", several Zifu period monks present could not help but shudder, and no one spoke anymore.
