This night.
Inside the Qiyuexuan stone building.
"Sister Lingyue, how did you figure out that this fairy gourd cave is the fragments of the ancient fairy and demon battlefield you mentioned?"
Xu Taiping, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask Fairy Lingyue.
"I was fortunate enough to obtain several maps of the ancient battlefields of immortals and demons. One of them is almost identical to your map in terms of topography, especially the Jade Gourd Peak."
"It is rumored that the Jade Gourd Peak is an artifact belonging to an ancient monk who fell on the battlefield. The spiritual spring you are talking about is the residual spiritual power of that artifact."
"It is precisely because of this that I am sure that these are the remains of the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons."
Fairy Lingyue introduced to Xu Taiping.
"What is the origin of this ancient battlefield of immortals and demons?"
A damaged artifact from ancient times still had residual spiritual power flowing out. How could he not be curious about it.
"If we really look back, that war may have been a million years ago. Legend has it that Jiuyuan was extremely prosperous at that time, and even beings like the Demon Lord could only be regarded as minions."
"It took the human monks hundreds of thousands of years to formulate a plan to trap the most powerful demon gods at that time in a world. Then the nine most powerful human monks at the time fought against those demons at the cost of self-destruction. Several demon gods died together, and in the end the entire world was shattered."
"The nine largest fragments among them were collected by the later Emperor Yandi and refined into the nine secret realms of the cave. Firstly, it was to commemorate the nine great monks, and secondly, it was to inspire the younger generation of human monks to practice. ."
"And for the demons, these nine fragments are their greatest shame."
"So in the subsequent battles between immortals and demons, they tried every means to take away and destroy these nine fragments."
"When it was passed down to my era, only two of the nine fragments were left, and all seven, including your Immortal Hudongtian, were missing."
Fairy Lingyue said with a sad look on her face.
"This Fairy Gourd Cave Heaven actually has such a past."
After listening to Fairy Lingyue's narration, Xu Taiping was shocked. He never thought that in the long river of time, human monks would have such a tragic past.
He originally had little interest in the Xianhu Secret Realm, but suddenly became very interested.
He just felt that even if he was not looking for the treasures in the secret realm, just to admire the feats of the ancient human monks, it was still worth his while to go there.
"However, this map is somewhat different from what I remember, and this fragment actually has two layers, upper and lower, and what is marked on this map is only the upper layer, which is also the most insignificant layer."
Fairy Lingyue's spirit body stared at the map and said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that the Jade Qing layman deliberately concealed the fact that there is another layer below?"
Xu Taiping speculated.
"impossible."
Fairy Lingyue smiled and shook her head.
"Why is it impossible?"
Seeing that Fairy Lingyue was so sure, Xu Taiping suddenly became curious.
"If he really knows and explores that layer, and has occupied this cave alone for so many years, his cultivation has already broken through to the realm of transformation and gone to several other worlds."
Fairy Lingyue said with certainty.
"Sister Lingyue, are you saying that the treasures hidden in the lower level of the Immortal Calculus Secret Realm are enough for monks to break through to the Transformation Realm?"
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
"It's not a treasure, but there is a large lake formed by the blood of immortals and demons on the lower level. If the lake has not dried up yet, practicing in the lake will make your cultivation level increase rapidly."
Lingyue shook her head and said.
Xu Taiping looked stunned when he heard this.
"But Taiping, even if you find the lower level of the secret realm, you must not enter the blood pool. The magic lotus in your body likes this thing the most."
Fairy Lingyue immediately reminded Xu Taiping.
"Understood." Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this.
"But beside the blood pool, there is a kind of spiritual grass called jade bone. It is said that it was transformed from the bone marrow of the monks who died in it. It is very effective in restraining the evil spirit. If you can bring some back, you can pull out the magic lotus. If we need spiritual things, all we have left is a pot of spiritual marrow liquid.”
"And this spiritual marrow liquid originally required a large amount of spiritual stones to be refined, but the artifact that was transformed into the Jade Gourd Peak in the Immortal Calculus Cave will not surprisingly contain a purer spiritual marrow liquid."
"So now it seems that you must go to this trip to Xianhu Cave in three years."
Fairy Lingyue said with a serious expression.
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
The magic lotus inside his body is undoubtedly his biggest hidden danger now, and it would be best if he could pull it out quickly.
"Besides, I just took a look. If this directory is accurate, you should be able to collect all the medicinal materials needed to refine Suihuo Pill."
Fairy Lingyue said again.
Suihuo Pill is a necessary pill that Xu Taiping, as a mortal, wants to break through to the Tongxuan Realm.
"There is also a grass-returning elixir."
Xu Taiping nodded and added.
He had just discovered that this list also contained several precious medicinal materials needed to refine Cao Huan Dan.
"Although your second senior brother and the others said that the Immortal Calculus Cave is not very dangerous, according to my understanding of the fragments of the Immortal Demon Battlefield, there are several dangerous monsters in both the upper and lower levels."
"You haven't noticed it for so many years. I guess they are all sleeping."
"But even so, you still have to be fully prepared."
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again.
"In the next three years, I will try my best to stay in seclusion and digest what I gained from the ruins of Yunmengze Immortal Mansion."
Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
Because he has been dealing with sword ghosts, whether it is the body technique "Close to the End of the World" or the "Blue Bull Great Sage Fist", he has only read through it a few times without actually starting to practice.
So in the next three years, he wanted to start practicing these techniques without any distractions.
…
Time flies in the fairy mansion
Three years have gone by in a blink of an eye.
The seventh peak is the Moon Lake.
Just like every morning in the past three years, Xu Taiping jumped up from the foot of the mountain step by step with the mountain-holding iron bracelets he got from the demon cultivator on his hands and feet.
Compared with three years ago, he was still extremely light-footed even though he was carrying seven or eight thousand kilograms of mountain iron.
At the same time, his figure is much taller and stronger than three years ago.
According to convention.
When Xu Taiping came to the water pool, he first took off the wooden board from the cliff and took a look.
"Huh? There's actually not a word today."
What surprised him was that Layman Sansan did not leave any words on the board today.
This was the first time since he practiced swordsmanship.
"Maybe you forgot?"
Xu Taiping thought this while putting the blank board to one side.
"Zheng!"
He put his fingers together, raised them slightly, and the long sword inserted on the cliff flew towards him like a stream of light.
This long sword, which was originally rusty, has become radiant due to Xu Taiping's constant daily practice, and is no longer as damaged as it was three years ago.
"San San layman's request yesterday was to use a sword of five thousand words, so today I will try a sword of six thousand words, right?"
Xu Taiping glanced at the blank board and then decided.
As soon as he thought about this, he took a deep breath and then raised his sword.
"Zheng!——"
Accompanied by a piercing sound of swords, sword rays of light converged into a waterfall, washing down from the top of the cliff.
In just a blink of an eye, the entire cliff was carved with vigorous and powerful seal characters.
This is the result of Xu Taiping's continuous training for three years.
"Since Master Sansan has no other requests, shall we meet again tomorrow?"
Xu Taiping glanced at the long sword that flew back to him.
The long sword immediately made a trembling sound, as if it was a little reluctant to give up.
If it were in the past, even if he finished writing, Xu Taiping would still stay for some time before going down the mountain, but today he had to prepare the things he needed to go to Xianhu Cave tomorrow, so he had to go back early.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
And just when Xu Taiping inserted his sword back into the cliff and turned around to leave, an old voice full of majesty suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky and was stuck on the big stone in the center of the pool like a sharp sword.
"San San... layman?!"
Xu Taiping was stunned.
He has been practicing swordsmanship for more than three years, and this is the first time Sansan layman appears in front of him.
