The compartment here is square, about thirty or forty feet in diameter.
At the four corners of the compartment, there are four feet-high stone pillars emitting bright white light, illuminating the entire sealed compartment very brightly. In the center of the compartment, there is a stone pillar covered with black and red patterns. There is a wooden table several feet long, with four chairs on each side of the wooden table.
at this time.
Of the four chairs on the left, two are already occupied by monks.
Of the four chairs on the right, only one is occupied by a monk.
The three monks in the cubicle were all wearing robes that concealed their aura. At this moment, they all looked slightly sideways at Gu Qing who walked into the cubicle here.
The three monks nodded to Gu Qing, but said nothing.
Gu Qing nodded in response, then sat down in the cubicle, closest to the stone door on the right side, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
After two breaths.
The man who was on the same road as Gu Qing earlier was a little thin, he pushed open the stone door of the compartment and walked into the compartment.
Behind this cultivator, there were two figures, one fat and one thin.
These three people were also wearing black robes that concealed their auras, but Gu Qing just glanced sideways and glanced at the two figures, one fat and one thin, following this Xiu, and he noticed the invisible power around these two people.
'This feeling...the cultivation of foundation? Two foundation-building cultivators? This time, two foundation-building cultivators took over the task of finding the elixir together!
Gu Qing nodded gently to the three people, and regardless of whether the three people had any reaction, he withdrew his gaze.
The stone door of the compartment closed automatically.
Two people, one fat and one thin, who were suspected to be foundation-building cultivators, took their seats on the left side of the wooden table one after another. The slightly thin cultivator came to the seat on the right side that was farthest from the stone door of the cubicle, and looked around at Gu Qing and the other three. The monk glanced at him and then sat down on the chair.
Gu Qing's heart moved.
'This person seems to be Na Qiqian, but I can't be sure.
He didn't look away, just secretly guessing.
The seven people in the compartment waited in silence for about a quarter of an hour. The stone door of the compartment was pushed open again, and an extremely tall figure in black robe lowered his head and got into the compartment.
This extremely tall figure glanced at the seven monks in the compartment, seemed to be slightly stunned, then nodded to the monks, and sat on the empty seat next to Gu Qing.
The atmosphere among the eight people seemed a bit strange.
Several breaths passed and still no one spoke.
But the eight people all raised their heads in unison and looked at the other monks. It was obvious that the monks who had accepted the task of entering the cave ruins to find the elixir had already arrived, but they had not seen the cultivator who had released the task, or perhaps He said that the person who issued the mission was among the cultivators.
One of the three monks who entered this compartment before Gu Qing coughed slightly and said in a low voice: "Ahem! Now that all the fellow Taoists have arrived, the fellow Taoist who wants to find the elixir has not shown up yet. ?」
Following this practice, he opened his mouth.
When the monk who was the thinnest among the eight heard this, his beautiful eyes under his black robe flickered, and he continued: "Did you bring the token? It is inconvenient for outsiders to participate in this mission."
Before this frail cultivator could finish her words, the other seven monks in the compartment all looked at her. Their gazes were as if they were real, making her feel a little heavy for a moment.
'The words uttered by this cultivator have a deep and strong voice. At first glance, it does not seem to be the voice of the woman Qi Gan. However, if you distinguish it carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish a sense of familiarity. Looking at the body shape of this cultivator, it is already It can be concluded that this cultivation must be done by the second-grade alchemist Qi Gan!
As Gu Qing's mind turned, he took out the Naxian Token owned by a peripheral member of Lingxu Island, injected it with spiritual power, made it glow slightly, and then placed it on the wooden table in front of him.
Seeing this, the thin cultivator nodded to Gu Qing.
Following Gu Qing's actions, the other cultivators, including the thin female cultivator who seemed to be Qi Qian, also
They took out the Naxian Order one after another, injected spiritual power into it, and placed it on the wooden table in front of them.
Eight letters of acceptance were lying quietly on the wooden table.
The thin monk continued to speak, saying: "Since we are all on our own, I won't say any more nonsense. If the elixir recipe can be found this time, all fellow Taoists can get three second-grade upper-level elixirs. , or a second-grade top-level elixir."
"All you fellow Taoists need to do is to swear an oath of heaven and promise to listen to Qi's instructions after entering the ruins of the cave."
Three second-grade upper-grade elixirs, which were replaced by mid-grade spiritual stones, would cost at least two hundred to three hundred yuan. After hearing such a generous reward, the cultivators did not feel much joy, but looked at each other. A few glances.
Among the two suspected foundation-building cultivators who entered the stone chamber together with the thin cultivator, the fatter one said: "Fellow Daoist Qi, I don't need to say more about the current situation of the cave ruins. I just want to say One thing is that although the head of the Li family is only at the first level of foundation building, and the breakthrough time is still short, he is also a genuine foundation building monk. And this Li family has fallen into the ruins of the cave! "
"As far as I know, there are no less than three foundation-building cultivators like the head of the Li family who have perished in the cave ruins."
This repair's voice fell.
The other monks in the cubicle were all somewhat silent.
When the thin monk saw this scene, his expression under the black robe was a little ugly. She continued to say: "Wealth is gained through danger! Don't say that all of you fellow Taoists have never taken any risks until now!"
"If you can help Qi get the elixir this time, in addition to the promised elixir, Qi is willing to owe each of you fellow Taoists a favor! I believe everyone has guessed Qi's identity. Yes, Qi He is an alchemist who can refine second-grade top-level elixirs!"
"In addition, even if you are not able to help Qi obtain the elixir this time, Qi is willing to give each Taoist friend an upper-level second-grade elixir."
As soon as these words came out, all the practitioners were a little moved.
An alchemist who can refine second-grade top-level elixirs. With the favor of such a person, plus three second-level upper-level elixirs, the next thing they have to do is worth it even if they have to take a lot of risks. .
What's more, even if they don't get the elixir, they can still get a second-grade upper-level elixir as a gift, so their trip won't be in vain.
Under Gu Qing's black robe, his brows were furrowed.
He turned his eyes and looked at the frail cultivator, and asked: "Fellow Taoist, you want us to rush directly into the ruins of the cave? From my point of view, we might as well wait and see in the water for a while. , wait for the opportunity, and then enter the cave ruins."
When Gu Qing asked the question, he also stated his own thoughts. He mainly did not want to waste time and rushed straight into the cave ruins, which meant that he would face Taoist Fei Lei, Jiang Xuelan and other mid-stage foundation builders. , is no different from seeking death.
After hearing Gu Qing's words, the frail cultivator's expression under the black robe flashed with a hint of thought. She soon shook her head and said:
"Qi Mou thinks he doesn't need to do this! No matter how dangerous the cave ruins are, as long as we work together, there won't be much risk. But if we wait quietly and watch the changes in the water above, the pill recipe will probably be destroyed by other monks. Take it away! At that time, Qi was sitting on the wax."
Gu Qing frowned upon hearing this.
He suddenly stood up from his seat and walked to this compartment. He already picked up the Naxian Order in one hand and said at the same time, "In this case, that person will not be involved in this matter. Don't worry, if this If the incident is leaked, it will prevent someone from making any progress in his cultivation for the rest of his life."
As he spoke, he pushed open the stone door of the compartment.
The stone door of this compartment has been specially processed, and the sound of opening and closing is very small. The remaining seven monks in the compartment were a little confused when they saw Gu Qing leaving so neatly.
'Is it possible that... this person has some understanding of what is going on in the cave ruins, and knows that the danger within it will become smaller as time goes by?
The thin monk guessed this.
Soon, Gu Qing left the Zhaoyu Tower.
He went straight to Kurongfang.
Although he was not prepared to rush into the cave ruins with the female cultivator who was suspected of being Qi Qian and others, it did not mean that he was not interested in the cave ruins. In fact, he was very interested in the cave ruins. , after all, just the few forbidden mountains at the core of the cave, to him, are just mountains of spiritual stones.
Unfortunately.
At this time, most of those forbidden mountains had been captured by Taoist Fei Lei, Jiang Xuelan and other cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, and were broken by cultivators who knew the way of prohibition.
'Can there be such a forbidden mountain's core-building cave ruins, can a few mid-stage foundation-building cultivators really take away all the benefits easily? Probably impossible! Based on my guess, there is a possibility of more than 80% change in this matter! As for what kind of change it was, it was beyond the imagination of a small Qi practitioner like me.
Gu Qing left Kurongfang.
The rain curtain was gloomy, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, and rumbling on the water below. The sky and the earth were completely white, and it seemed that only my solitary figure was left.
Gu Qingjing stood on an island outside Kurongfang, looking at the rain screen with an indifferent expression, but there was a little touch in her eyes.
In front of his eyes, there seemed to be countless overlapping rain curtains.
That was the rain in his memory.
When the flowers bloom again, no one is young anymore. How many years pass by in a flash, and the past is gone and never comes back. Just like the falling rain, the bead curtain rolls up the bead curtain, the years return to the years, and when you look back, you can only see a vast expanse of white.
Chaos, loneliness, coldness, it is difficult to tell the direction, it seems that except for falling with the raindrops, no matter which direction you go, you are always moving forward.
Under the black robe, Gu Qing remained expressionless.
He waved his hand and fired out a white sword light. This white sword light flashed across the rain curtain and then whirled towards his direction.
puff!
The sound of raindrops being shattered by the sword energy merged into one piece.
The next moment.
The frost-killing sword with icy cold light was already lying in front of Gu Qing. He stepped on the muddy island and rose into the sky. His cloud-stepping boots without any dirt landed firmly on the frost-killing sword. On the body.
call out!
Gu Qing turned into a ball of white light and disappeared through the sky.
In the sky, the rain breaks like mist, and the cold wind howls.
