"Senior, this junior is ignorant of Mount Tai. I don't know that senior is actually a real Jindan. This junior of Lingshi must not be accepted."
Han Changlin, who was thinking about it, suddenly showed a surprised expression when he saw Gu Yue place ten low-grade spiritual stones in front of him.
But soon after, Han Changlin understood Gu Yue's worries. He had previously used the news about the auction to gain benefits from himself, and he was naturally a little unhappy. After all, as a Jindan monk, even if he was concerned about news like the auction, It was not difficult for him to know even if Gu Yue didn't tell him.
And Dongtian Trading Company, which holds the auction, will naturally not let go of a golden elixir monk like Han Changlin. I am afraid that as soon as he leaves here, someone will find him soon.
After Gu Yue bowed respectfully to Han Changlin, he turned around and left. Han Changlin did not stop him. He looked at the spiritual stones on the table and couldn't help but smile. He waved his sleeves slightly, and nine pieces of the spiritual stones on the table immediately disappeared, leaving behind Got a piece.
Han Changlin stood up, left the tea shop, and headed towards the center of Black Rock City.
He planned to rent a cave first and live there temporarily.
This Black Rock City has also been set up with a severe air restriction, but for Jindan monks like Han Changlin, if they want to force their way through, this restriction cannot stop them.
It's just that Han Changlin doesn't intend to be so high-profile. Besides, Black Rock City is the territory of Yushui Palace. Offending such a behemoth as Yushui Palace is not a wise choice in his opinion.
More than half an hour later, Han Changlin arrived at the foot of Black Stone Mountain. What surprised Han Changlin was that the foot of Black Stone Mountain was extremely quiet. The surrounding area was surrounded by stone pillars several feet high for more than ten miles.
And Han Changlin saw the pale golden aura flashing on these stone pillars at a glance, and his heart couldn't help but shudder. Just through this pale golden aura, Han Changlin could feel the huge power contained in it.
Han Changlin also understood at this time that this seemingly inconspicuous stone forest was actually an unpredictable formation. If he rashly broke into it, even he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Not far in front of Han Changlin, there was a dark stone palace, square in shape, with several huge stone pillars standing in front of the door, supporting the entire dome more than ten feet high.
Arriving in front of the stone hall, Han Changlin walked in. The hall was very bright, and Han Changlin also saw at a glance the ever-bright lamps lit on the stone pillars around the hall.
Passing through the corridor of the main hall, Han Changlin turned around a screen carved with turbulent waves and walked into the interior of the main hall.
The interior of the hall was magnificently decorated, and as soon as he entered the hall, Han Changlin smelled a strong floral fragrance, and Han Changlin also saw three female cultivators wearing lavender fish-scale robes standing inside the hall.
One of the three female cultivators is in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other two are in the early stage of foundation building.
Seeing Han Changlin come in, the female cultivator with an oval face in the middle came up to him with a smile on her face and said:
"Senior, what's your surname? Did you come to our Black Rock Mountain to rent a training cave?"
When Han Changlin heard this, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. He did not reveal the spiritual pressure of the Golden Core stage, but the disciple of the Water Control Palace in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in front of him could tell that he was a Golden Core cultivator at a glance. This is really true. Han Changlin was a little surprised.
"Senior, please don't be offended. When senior entered our hall, he may not have noticed that there is a Yuan Yuan Mirror hanging above the hall, which can sense the realm of senior. That's why the junior knows that senior is a golden elixir monk." Listen. After hearing the woman's explanation, Han Changlin showed a surprised expression.
"The little girl Mo Shu is the steward stationed in Blackstone Mountain by the Royal Water Palace. She is responsible for the leasing of the entire Blackstone Mountain Cave." Before Han Changlin could ask, the woman briefly introduced her responsibilities.
Just after entering Blackstone Mountain, Han Changlin discovered that the spiritual energy here was indeed several times richer than in the city. After entering the palace, Han Changlin was surprised to find that the spiritual energy here was even richer than outside.
From this point of view, the stone forest formation outside can not only block intruders, but also seal the spiritual energy. This actually makes Han Changlin have more expectations for the training cave rented here.
"It turns out to be Miss Mo, but I wonder if you can introduce Mr. Han to the caves rented here?"
"Senior came to Blackstone City and knew that there is a medium-sized high-grade spiritual vein under Blackstone City, which is also the foundation of the entire Blackstone City, and this spiritual vein is actually under Blackstone Mountain."
"Therefore, the ones with the most spiritual energy are the dozens of caves at the foot of Black Rock Mountain. Among these caves, some have been rented out, and a few have been requisitioned by the outer elders of our Water Control Palace, especially recently. Why, there are suddenly more Golden Core cultivators like Senior."
"This leaves us with a very small number of caves to rent, and there are only three left now. The locations of these three caves can be seen by seniors through this picture."
While talking, Mo Shu took out a piece of animal skin and spread it out in front of Han Changlin.
There is a circle of red dots surrounding the Black Stone Mountain, but only in a relatively remote location, there are three narrow valleys. Each valley is a blue dark dot. Think of the remaining three that Mo Shu mentioned. The first cultivation cave is them.
"Miss Mo, I wonder what the rental prices for these three caves are?"
"These three caves are all third-class caves, so the prices are the same. One thousand low-grade spiritual stones per year, and the minimum rent is one year."
Mo Shu said with a smile on her pretty face.
Hearing this, Han Changlin pondered for a moment. The caves here are much more expensive than those on the Falling Star Islands, but this is understandable. Although he is safe on Qingxi Island, he may encounter some unexpected dangers at any time.
It is said that he occupies an entire island, clean and undisturbed, but in fact Yushui Palace is doing business without capital. His own safety must be guaranteed by himself. If enemies attack, Yushui Palace will definitely They will also choose to stand by and watch.
The black mountain cave in front of him is different. It is protected by the forbidden formation outside. I think it is relatively safe to practice here. Han Changlin is still a little worried about the two Jindan monks who have malicious intentions while he is going through the Jindan Thunder Tribulation. , if he knew that he was here, he would definitely find a way to deal with him so that he could eliminate the root cause.
It seems that as long as he takes the small fortune pill here, breaks through to the middle stage of the Golden Pill, and then refines the natal magic weapon Star Sword Pill, he may not be afraid of those two people, and when he thinks of those two people, Han Changlin can't help but look at him. There was a hint of chill.
"Let's rent it for three years first."
After thinking for a moment, Han Changlin spoke.
The reason why he only rented it for three years was mainly to use it to break through the middle stage of the golden elixir and refine the natal magic weapon of Xingchen Jianwan. After doing this, he would decide where to go next.
After paying three thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones, Mo Shu gave Han Changlin a palm-sized wooden token. With this token, he could freely enter and exit the cave.
Soon, Han Changlin, led by Mo Shu, came to a dark small valley. The entire small valley seemed to be only two or three miles in size, and the valley was filled with thick white mist.
"Senior, Mo Shu can only send you here. If you go in, you will encounter the cave's defense formation, the Life and Death Formation. This formation was arranged by the Yuanying Elder of our Yushui Palace and covers the entire Black Stone Mountain. Only with this token can one enter and exit the cave. In addition, the juniors would like to remind the seniors that once the time is up, if the seniors want to continue renting the cave, they must go to the main hall to find Mo Shu to replace the token for you, otherwise the formation of life and death will once If it is activated, even the juniors will be helpless."
Nodding, Han Changlin expressed his understanding, and Mo Shu also bowed respectfully to Han Changlin, then turned and left.
Han Changlin walked towards the valley, and as he entered, the rich white mist separated on its own, revealing a long and narrow corridor. Soon Han Changlin came to the depths of the valley. Deep in the valley, close to the stone wall, A dark cave entrance stood.
Han Changlin strolled into it and found that the corridor in the cave was actually inlaid with dozens of fist-sized luminous beads, which illuminated the corridor like daylight.
After going nearly a hundred feet deep, Han Changlin saw a stone gate. The stone gate was completely black, with only a token-shaped dent in the center.
Han Changlin embedded the token in his hand into the indentation. A flash of green light flashed, and the token on the indentation was completely embedded in it. With the sound of "zaza", the stone door rose.
Entering it, Han Changlin casually took off the token that had entered inside from the stone door. The stone door fell again, and just by the dull sound of the stone door hitting the ground when Han Changlin fell from it, he knew that the stone door weighed at least ten thousand kilograms. .
Nodding with satisfaction, Han Changlin came to the stone room. The stone room was not big. There was a stone table and two stone benches in the middle, and there were mahogany bookshelves on the left and right sides near the wall.
The stone room was clean, very dry, without any moisture. There were two stone doors directly in front of Han Changlin and on the left and right sides. Han Changlin came to the stone door in front of him and pushed it gently. The stone door opened in response. .
Inside was a small secret room, empty except for a futon in the center.
Han Changlin knew that this was the training room. After leaving the training room, Han Changlin walked into the secret room on the left. After seeing a bronze refining furnace in the center of the secret room, Han Changlin showed surprise on his face and his eyes flickered. There was a bit of joy.
When he was refining his natal magic weapon, the Star Sword Pill, there were several materials that needed to be refined through the alchemy furnace. He originally wanted to use his own alchemy furnace to make it work, but now that he has this bronze refining furnace, he can use it directly. After all, he is making elixirs. There is still a big difference between a furnace and a refining furnace.
In the stone room on the right, near the corner, there is a stone bed, with quilts and mattresses neatly placed on it. The quilts and mattresses have obviously been taken care of, and they are not only clean but also very dry.
After Han Changlin sensed the full spiritual energy in the cave, he was immediately very satisfied with the cave. However, after a moment of reflection, Han Changlin began to search carefully, not missing every corner of the cave.
Han Changlin even released dozens of second-level soul-devouring insects and searched every inch of the entire cave several times. After the search, Han Changlin did not find any abnormalities, and he felt relieved.
Han Changlin came to the lounge, made the mattress, fell on it, covered himself with the quilt and began to fall asleep.
He slept for two days and two nights, and it was not until the morning of the third day that Han Changlin opened his eyes.
After washing up, Han Changlin first entered the Immortal Mansion in the painting through meditation and harvested a large area of demon-attracting grass. In order to cultivate more first-order soul-devouring insects, Han Changlin planted a large number of demon-attracting grasses in the Immortal Mansion in the painting. Demon grass.
In addition to harvesting a large amount of demon-inducing grass, Han Changlin was also pleasantly surprised to find that the Crimson Spirit Grass and Mixed Spirit Grass he planted had also matured. After happily harvesting hundreds of Crimson Spirit Grass and Mixed Spirit Grass, Han Changlin left The fairy mansion in the painting.
After returning to the cave, Han Changlin first put hundreds of demon-attracting grasses into the two spirit beast bags. At this moment, there were tens of thousands of first-level spirit-devouring insects in Han Changlin's spirit beast bag. many.
With the help of the cultivation of demon-inducing grass, Han Changlin believed that it would not be long before he could start cultivating second-level soul-devouring insects. In another spirit beast bag, about four hundred soul-devouring insects were eating the demon-inducing insects contentedly. Demon grass.
After the soul-eating worms entered the second level, their advancement speed was obviously much slower. This also made Han Changlin start to think about whether he should refine some second-level soul-serving pills to feed these second-level soul-eating worms to see if they could speed up the process. Advanced.
After entering the golden elixir stage, these second-level soul-eating insects can only exert limited effects when Han Changlin is fighting with people. If there are thousands of second-level soul-eating insects, as long as they do not encounter those who have practiced Han Yan, Basically, as long as a golden elixir monk is surrounded by a large group of second-level soul-eating insects, even a golden elixir monk will be in danger.
But Han Changlin now only has about 400 second-order soul-devouring insects, which is far from enough to pose a threat to the Golden Core monks.
However, Han Changlin does not have time to refine the Serving Spirit Pill for the time being. His most important thing now is to raise his level to another level and then refine the natal magic weapon, the Star Sword Pill.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin came to the training room and sat down cross-legged.
A green and red light flashed on his fingertips, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. Han Changlin opened the jade bottle with some excitement and poured out a fingertip-sized green elixir.
A strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire stone chamber. Han Changlin looked at the green little fortune elixir in his hand and gently put it into his mouth. The elixir melted in his mouth and turned into a sweet spring into his belly.
Han Changlin activated the Jade Flame Sun True Technique and began to melt and absorb the astonishing spiritual power contained in this small creation pill.
