Inside the cave, there was dense gray mist.
This mist surges endlessly under the roar of the wind in the cave, like the rapidly changing dark clouds in the sky, and seems to be brewing a downpour.
But when Gu Qing walked into it, he never felt the slightest moisture. Instead, he only felt the endless gray mist, like a fierce burning flame, burning his whole body. .
A wisp of gray mist seeped into Gu Qing's white aura. As he stepped away a little, his consciousness separated into a few strands and condensed into the wisp of gray mist, and he began to examine it carefully.
'Didn't Guo Xuantian say before that there was a cold wind blowing in this cave? Why is this mist not so cold in my perception?
'This mist is really weird...
'Its texture is like water, but it is as hot as fire when touched, which can erode spiritual power. Sweeping by the strong wind in this cave, it rolls in, enough to force back the early stage of Qi refining in a short period of time, and some Cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining! The monks in the late stage of Qi refining can rely on their strong spiritual power to hold on and explore the cave.
'According to what Zhao Xuantian said, the farther down the cave, the stronger the wind blowing. When the gray mist is swept by the stronger wind, it will naturally become more difficult to bear.
Gu Qing stood only two or three feet away from the entrance of the cave, his eyes slightly overlooking the endless gray fog below.
At this time, under his feet were stone steps going down one by one.
The stone steps seem to be made entirely from nature. The top reaches to the entrance of the cave, and the bottom is submerged in the gray mist. Each step is about two meters long and only as wide as a foot.
Gu Qing glanced at the gray mist below, then turned sideways, turned his head, and looked behind him at the Qi Refining monks who were walking into the cave one after another. He glanced behind these Qi Refining monks. You can see the sparse starlight hole in the deep sky.
Among the Qi Refining monks, a small half had entered this cave before, but most of the remaining ones had never entered this cave. When they first saw the scene in this cave, their eyes changed.
The gray mist in the cave was swept by the wind and fell on the body-protecting spiritual power of these Qi-refining cultivators. Several fifth-level Qi-refining cultivators immediately trembled.
Gu Qing's heart moved slightly.
He activated the secret technique of spiritual eyes, and a red luster appeared in his eyes. After carefully observing the faces of everyone, he found that these monks were all pale and trembling, as if they were in an extremely cold place.
'In my induction, the situation in this cave is different from that of other Qi refining cultivators.
Gu Qing speculated in his heart.
"You, you, and you, go ahead."
Immediately, Gu Qing casually named three Hanhai monks who were not pleasing to his eyes, and ordered these Hanhai monks to clear the way ahead.
These Hanhai cultivators, one female and two male, are all in the middle stage of Qi refining, one of them is at the eighth level of Qi refining, and the other two are not at the seventh level of Qi refining.
Among them, the female cultivator was at the eighth level of Qi refining, and the two male cultivators were at the seventh level. Their expressions became ugly after hearing this.
This female cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining has her head full of black hair tied up. She looks to be in her thirties. If we talk about her appearance, she can be considered pretty, but she is very pale, and her cheeks are covered with large and small scars. There are red marks on the body, and under the bloated crimson cannon, the sound of something roaring comes from time to time, which seems a bit scary.
The female cultivator stared at Gu Qing for a few times with burning eyes. The pupils of her eyes shrank to extremely small sizes. Her lips moved, but she did not say anything. Instead, she walked straight ahead in response to Gu Qing's words.
Seeing this, the two male cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining also had a bit of hatred hidden in their eyes. They lowered their heads and walked quickly forward.
As the three cultivators passed by Gu Qing, all the cultivators behind him breathed a sigh of relief. They each looked at each other a few times with familiar people, and their eyes were filled with happiness.
Gu Qing looked at the person in front of him, who had already stood still and was urging his body to protect him.
The three monks, whose spiritual light resisted the gray mist, said: "Since I need help from fellow Taoists, I will protect you."
"Don't resist, someone will emit spiritual power to wrap up the three of you and help you resist this rolling gray mist."
Gu Qing said.
The three monks in front heard this, but not only did they not relax at all, but they became even more nervous. They asked a foundation-building cultivator to wrap them with spiritual power. In other words, their life and death would depend on this. There is no way to avoid it in a single thought as a foundation-building cultivator!
But even though they understood in their hearts, none of the three people said anything to reject Gu Qing. When Gu Qing saw this, he didn't react at all.
A white aura suddenly bloomed around Gu Qing, pushing away all the gray mist within a few feet. The three cultivators in front suddenly felt the pressure after entering the cave, and the force that could stagnate the spiritual power of the whole body. The astringent chill disappeared at the same time.
"Thank you, senior."
Among the two male cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining, one of them turned around with a flattering smile on his face and looked at the center of the bright white spiritual light. Gu Qing, who was wearing a frost mask and whose face could not be seen clearly, nodded and bowed.
Gu Qing was noncommittal.
He said briefly: "Let's go."
The three people in front heard Gu Qing's words and began to move forward.
Gu Qing glanced behind him and motioned for the Qi Refining Cultivators behind to follow him. He kept a few feet away from the three people who were opening the way, and walked forward along the natural stone steps.
The stone steps are all black in color. The surface is not very smooth, but it is difficult to see any edges and corners.
Gu Qing focused his consciousness into it, and his eyes lit up slightly:
'The material of this stone step is harder than the yellow crystals seen around this cave before! And the spiritual patterns within it are natural, so it should be a good first-level spiritual material, maybe even a second-level spiritual material! What's more important is that this cave is extremely deep, which means that there must be a huge number of such stone steps! If I could dig them all down and take them out, the harvest would be unimaginable!
Gu Qing took back his consciousness.
'But this matter can't be hidden from me, and naturally it can't be hidden from these middle-stage and late-stage Qi refining cultivators, let alone their possible elders! This is not easy to handle. Although the current strength is not weak, it will be very difficult to handle if he does something that is criticized by the public.
While thinking about it, Gu Qing was already facing the billowing gray mist, walking down the stone steps for more than ninety feet. Here, he clearly noticed that the surroundings had become different.
His body radiated several feet of spiritual power around him, and the pressure he experienced more than doubled. Although this pressure was still insignificant to him, this change was enough to explain some problems.
'Four or five feet ahead is the place where Zhao Xuantian of the Vast Sea Yulin Sect said before that he saw the treasure light! But where is the trap formed by the combination of restrictions that Zhao Xuantian mentioned? I have never encountered him along the way... Could it be that Zhao Xuantian really has the guts to deceive me?
'In other words, the traps that prohibit hooking are all within four to five feet in front! With this in mind, Gu Qing turned his head and looked behind him.
There was a slight red luster in his eyes. He first glanced at Li Ning from the Li family in Longze Lake and Lin Tingxue in his arms. Then he looked at the guest minister who was on the eighth level of Qi Refining by two Qi-refining guests from the Hanhai Yulin Sect. Zhao Xuantian was carried on a bamboo frame woven from spiritual bamboo.
Zhao Xuantian noticed that there was nothing unusual about Gu Qing's gaze. His face, which was obviously frozen, forced a look of respect and nodded towards him. There was no expression on his face.
Gu Qing motioned to the three people in front of him to stop for the time being, and then he waved gently towards Guo Xuanting, who was next to Zhao Xuantian.
"Fellow Taoist Guo Xuanting! Please come forward."
Gu Qing spoke with his spiritual consciousness, and the clear voice shook the surroundings, covering up the roar of the wind and reaching the ears of Guo Xuanting and other cultivators through the gray mist.
At this time, the Qi Refining cultivators behind were under great pressure in order to resist the greatly enhanced sweeping gray mist, especially the two members of the Hanhai Yulin Sect.
A guest at the eighth level of Qi refining.
There was no pressure on the two of them to protect themselves under the rolling gray mist. However, the two of them not only had to protect Zhao Xuantian, who was cut into a human being, but also, at Zhao Xuantian's request, protected one side of the injured and injured body. Guo Xuanting was seriously depleted of blood.
Hearing Gu Qing's words this time, Guo Xuanting had no reaction, but the two guests from the Vast Sea Yulin Sect felt greatly relieved.
Guo Xuanting frowned slightly.
He and Zhao Xuantian, who was being carried on the bamboo frame, looked at each other, and then a layer of blue electric light covered his body.
Stab!
Guo Xuanting turned into a blue electric light and came to the side and rear of Gu Qing against the pressure of gray mist. The moment he arrived, a large amount of white aura shrouded him.
Guo Xuanting felt that the huge pressure from the gray fog around him had disappeared, and the cold feeling that had been penetrating his body had completely dissipated. Moreover, there was a strange and extremely warm feeling in his body. He even felt that he The injuries on his body are slowly improving.
'What a wonderful and pure water spiritual power!
Guo Xuanting admired secretly in his heart.
Gu Qing didn't look back, just looked ahead.
He spoke calmly and said to Guo Xuanting, "Fellow Taoist Guo Xuanting, did your Yan Zhen Tong notice anything unusual along the way?"
Guo Xuanting was dazzled when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and responded via voice: "Returning to the senior, although Xuanting is injured at this time and cannot use the secret technique of developing true pupils for a long time, he still uses this secret technique to scan from time to time. I didn’t notice anything unusual around me.”
Gu Qing then turned back and glanced at Guo Xuanting.
"Fellow Daoist Guo Xuanting, does he seem to know Zhao Xuantian from the Hanhai Yulin Sect?" His eyes were flat and he asked Guo Xuanting.
Guo Xuanting, shrouded in white spiritual light, did not show any signs of strangeness. He responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "That's true. Xuanting has had an encounter with fellow Taoist Zhao Xuantian of the Yulin Sect before."
