In Huangfenggufang City, due to the approaching trade fair, there were many more foundation-building monks from the seven sects. With Luo Hong's early foundation-building cultivation level, he was not at all conspicuous among them.
There were still a few days before the trade fair, and Luo Hong started wandering around the market, buying some rare but useless spiritual materials from time to time.
In the evening, we went to an inn specially opened for monks in the foundation-building period to rest.
Finally, the day of the trade fair arrived. Luo Hong put on a black gauze hat that hid her face and sat alone in a window seat, watching the kind-faced old man on the stage who looked even older as he auctioned items one after another. Sip the spiritual tea calmly.
In the eyes of others, Luo Hong is just a new Foundation-Building monk with a withdrawn personality. He should be relatively shy in terms of money, and he is here just to increase his knowledge.
However, under the bamboo hat, Luo Hong's eyes repeatedly glanced at a nearby seat where two female Taoist priests from the Qingxu Sect were sitting.
Of course he was not looking at the two female Taoist priests, he was looking at the shadow under the table.
If Luo Hong hadn't guessed that someone would be watching, and if it wasn't for his spiritual awareness that was slightly better than that of the late-stage foundation-building monks, he wouldn't have been able to spot the difference in the shadow.
Even now, I clearly know that there is something wrong with that shadow, but I can't see any flaw with the naked eye. Presumably the other party is practicing a skill that specializes in concealment and assassination.
Luo Hong was very interested in the Qi-condensing technique of his technique, but he didn't know if the other party had brought the technique with him.
After confirming that someone was watching, Luo Hong behaved even more impeccably. In the subsequent elixir auction, he grabbed a pack of Qi Refining Powder at a premium of 50%, showing off the attitude of a depressed immortal cultivator who had been unable to make any progress for a long time.
When it came to the bartering stage in the second half of the trade fair, Luo Hong simply walked away. After returning to the inn, he told the shopkeeper:
"I'm going to practice in seclusion for a few days. Don't disturb me until I come out. This is a prepaid spiritual stone."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran upstairs, closed the door, and opened the inn's ban. Luo Hong set up a protective formation of ordinary quality, and then scanned every inch of the room several times with his spiritual consciousness. , especially in the shadows.
"I want to see what it is that makes these demonic monks so violent."
After confirming that the monitor was not in the room, Luo Hong took off his bamboo hat, put on a black iron mask, held a talisman made of monster skin between his fingers, and activated it with a breath of mana.
I saw that the talisman burned out in an instant, and a large stream of four-color spiritual energy surged out to wrap Luo Hong tightly. Then with a flash of light, Luo Hong and the spiritual energy light group disappeared into the room at the same time.
After a dizzy feeling, Luo Hong appeared deep in the Chiyang Mountain mine.
After appearing, Luo Hong immediately scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and took out a talisman that was the same as before. If he noticed any abnormality, he would immediately teleport it back.
Fortunately, the place he chose was secret enough, and there weren't even any mortal miners around.
Picking up the three-color stone at his feet, Luo Hong walked deeper into the mine, holding the talisman under his arm, ready to evacuate at any time.
The piece that allowed Luo Hong to teleport from Huangfenggufang City, a hundred miles away, to Chiyang Mountain was one of the three functional talismans he developed based on ancient texts. It was the confidence for his trip.
This talisman was named by Luo Hong. The ancient silver runes used came from the first three of the more than ten different ones on the four bronze doors. That is, there are a total of twelve ancient silver talismans on one talisman. arts.
In fact, the best arrangement and combination found in the experiment is the first nine, that is, gathering these thirty-six ancient silver runes on one talisman is the real four-image moving talisman.
It's a pity that the runes made of high-level monster skins can't withstand it. After these ancient silver runes are exposed to mana, the more silver runes gathered on a piece of rune paper, the mana used to maintain them will increase sharply. , if it is not satisfied, it will fall apart immediately.
Therefore, Luo Hong could only refine the castrated version of the Four Elephant Movement Talisman, but the effect was sufficient.
When refining this talisman, it is also necessary to infuse the spiritual energy of four different attributes: metal, wood, water, and fire, hence the name "Four Symbols".
Luo Hong used the green wood crutches captured in the Blood Trial to solve the problem of being unable to control the wood element aura, and then successfully refined two of them.
Before using this talisman, you need to place a piece of earth-attribute spiritual material engraved with specific ancient text at the teleportation location, otherwise the teleportation will not be successful.
The deeper he went into the mine, the more violent the fire aura became. Luo Hong did not dare to release his consciousness with all his strength, otherwise he would be aroused by it and would be unable to think calmly.
Because he chose the right place to teleport, Luo Hong quickly reached the end of the mine tunnel.
There is a stone wall of more than ten feet between this place and the collapsed mine tunnel that has not yet been penetrated. Even if there are demonic monks guarding there, they will not notice anything strange on Luo Hong's side.
Putting away the Four Elephant Moving Talisman, Luo Hong put another talisman on his shoulder and hesitated slightly before activating it.
He took the risk this time because after three years of mining, the previously collapsed mine tunnel was about to be excavated. By then, there would definitely be movement from the demonic monks, and he would be at the center of the storm.
Therefore, instead of reacting passively until then, it is better to attack now and fundamentally destroy the plan of the demonic monks.
As for violating Li Huayuan's master's orders and just leaving, Luo Hong strangled him to death with this thought. He didn't have an ancient teleportation array to hide in the Chaos Star Sea, so how could he bear the price of betraying his master.
"I have no retreat, I can only give it a try!"
Luo Hong gritted his teeth and activated the talisman on his shoulder. He saw that the violent fire aura within a few feet around him immediately became extremely docile, just like the normal aura of heaven and earth.
In this way, Luo Hong can perform the earth escape technique that was previously unable to be performed due to the aura environment, and walk through the earth and rocks.
This talisman is the soul-suppressing talisman among the three functional talismans. It has the effect of soothing the aura of heaven and earth. Although the effect is not as amazing as the four-image moving talisman, its control effect on the aura of heaven and earth surprised Luo Hong.
Earth Escape is the most commonly used elementary and advanced escape spell. Luo Hong has learned it very early. He immediately chanted a spell, jumped into the stone wall, and disappeared without a trace again.
In the earth and rocks, Luo Hong did not dare to raise his escape speed to the extreme. His perception was only a few feet within the effect of the Soul Suppressing Talisman, which was basically the same as a blind man.
Fortunately, for today's trip, Luo Hong had already memorized the map of the mine tunnel, and the target location was only a dozen feet away. As long as he reached the collapsed mine tunnel, he could follow the mine tunnel to where the demonic monks were planning.
After traveling as planned, Luo Hong successfully passed through the collapsed mine tunnel and reached the deepest part of the Chiyang Mountain mine.
The scorching fire in this place can already make the foundation-building monks feel uncomfortable. It is definitely not a place where mortal miners dig red sun stones.
Looking at the surrounding rock walls, Luo Hong was surprised but naturally discovered that there were no traces of excavation at this point in the mine tunnel, but the rock walls were smooth and not naturally formed.
With doubts and conjectures, Luo Hong continued to walk deeper.
