The seven main peaks of Lingtian Pavilion sit like lotus flowers. The rich spiritual energy lingers on the peaks all year round. The streams flowing in the valleys are also contaminated with immortal energy. Part of the immortal energy has nurtured into the pool of spiritual eyes, which is hidden in the trial valley. Among them, part of it dispersed with the waves and turned into a river meandering out, while more spiritual energy stayed and penetrated into the valley underground. After tens of millions of years of baptism, several veins of spiritual minerals were formed here. Later, it was exploited by the Lingtian Pavilion organization for hundreds of years. Now only many ruins remain.
The abandoned mine tunnels are always rich in residual slag, and over the years, a precious weapon-refining material - Yin Marrow - has been produced in several extremely cloudy places.
Because the output of Yin Marrow is extremely scattered, Lingtian Pavilion did not organize large-scale mining, but left it to the trial disciples.
Liu Yuan was now facing a large, dark hole, which was the entrance to one of the main mine tunnels.
Before coming, he had done his homework. The colder the depths of the tunnel, the higher the yield of Yin marrow. Of course, the accompanying Yin beasts would be more powerful.
Feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, Liu Yuan strode in. This mission has come to an end, and most of the places have been cleaned. Liu Yuan does not expect to gain anything. His target is a deep mine called the Coiled Snake Labyrinth. According to his understanding, this mine has twists and turns and many forks, making it easy to get lost. The output is slightly poor, and the number of Yin beasts is not seen. There are few, so few people will get involved if the gain outweighs the loss.
It was pitch dark deep in the mine tunnel. Liu Yuan used flying ants to carry the grouper ants, and together they formed a path exploration team to fly ahead. At this time, the grouper ants lit up red spots, and they emitted faint spiritual power fluctuations, holding up A small fireball to light up the mine tunnel.
This is a new ability discovered by Liu Yuan. Since waking up, the grouper ant's spiritual power has made a qualitative leap, and it is not difficult to cast some small spells. Moreover, after the resurrection surgery, Liu Yuan no longer worried about the consumption of pathfinding ants, and sent them further forward to explore unknown dangers.
After many reincarnations of body refining in Hantan, the flying ants and grouper ants were able to move freely under the mine tunnel. Three fireballs were seen flying into the depths of the mine tunnel and disappeared in the twists and turns of the mine tunnel. There was also a fireball trailing behind Liu Yuan on guard, and a fireball lighting up the area near him.
He didn't meet anyone else along the way, and Liu Yuan was happy about it. As it progressed downward, the mine tunnel became narrower and narrower, and there were many marks of knife and ax chiseling on the black rock wall, some old and some newly filled in. Fragments of scrapped magic weapons and some traces of battles can occasionally be found on the ground.
Gradually, the air began to become humid, and dripping water appeared from time to time on the rock wall overhead, which was also extremely cold to the touch. Sometimes, the dark rocks will reflect little bits of light, which is a sign that they contain spirit stone veins, but there are too many impurities to be worth mining.
At this time, Liu Yuan's expression changed. The pathfinding team in the distance came back from the message and found someone blocking the way. There were three people in total, all of whom were at the ninth level of Dzogchen realm. They should be trial disciples.
At this time, there was no fork in the road, and there was only one main road to go on, so Liu Yuan had no choice but to hit it straight.
After turning a corner, Liu Yuan saw the light, and the three young monks had just discovered Liu Yuan. She turned to look at him in shock and saw that Liu Yuan was alone. They exchanged glances with each other and then looked happy.
"My little brother is very cool." They were very polite, "What do you call me?"
"I'm just a nobody. Could you please lend me a loan?" Liu Yuan didn't want to add too much detail.
"Wait a minute, my little brother's last name is Mu?"
"no."
"So, your surname is Ren?"
"No."
"Hehe, that's good. Do you guys know who we are?" When the three of them heard that Liu Yuan was neither the Mu family nor the Ren family, they immediately straightened their chests and their title changed from "little brother" to "you" boy".
"Then, do you dare to ask some Taoist friends their surnames?" Liu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, but still pretended to bow his hands respectfully.
"We are the three famous heroes of the Trial Cave. Everyone in the entire valley knows about us."
"oh."
"As long as we are in the trial cave, even Mu Bingcheng, who is number one on the merit list, will give us face." They didn't know that Mu Bingcheng had been surpassed by the man in front of them.
"oh."
Why didn't this guy respond? The three of them were a little puzzled and looked Liu Yuan up and down again.
It's really unremarkable. He only has the aura of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and there is nothing valuable in his body. He only has a storage bag that is quite exquisite and does not look like a piece of street food.
By the way, storage bags. Their eyes light up.
"To tell you the truth," the leader stretched out his hand and opened it to Liu Yuan, "the entire trial cave is our territory. If you want to pass here, you must pay a tribute."
"oh."
"Then why are you still standing there?" Sanjie muttered to himself, maybe he met a stupid boy. "Hurry up and hand over the storage bag you're wearing!"
"How about this, you heroes," Liu Yuan changed his title and cupped his hands, "From now on, I will be a little tired here in the trial cave, so I will cover it for you."
"Ah?" Sanjie didn't react for a moment.
"Then, hand over your storage bag." Liu Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"You're looking for death!" The three heroes finally came to their senses. Their cooperation was very tacit, and they immediately stood in a triangle, surrounding Liu Yuan in the middle.
Liu Yuan originally wanted Ant to deal with the three of them directly, but then he thought, taking this opportunity, he might as well try his current strength. So he secretly thought about it and ordered the ant attack team ambushing in the corner to stay still.
"I'll come first and ask my two brothers to raid the formation for me." The third child jumped out first, thinking that I can deal with you, an eighth-level kid, by myself.
Liu Yuan stretched out a finger and pointed it in his direction: "Come here!"
"So arrogant!" Lao San was furious. He majored in sword control. Only a ray of purple light was seen, and sharp sword energy suddenly burst out from behind him.
Cut off one of his hands first, and this ignorant boy will become honest. The third child thought to himself, he raised his hand and pointed, and the purple light drew an arc towards Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan had experienced some battles, so he immediately used his small shield. When he didn't know what was going on, he naturally erred on the side of safety.
There was a clang, sparks exploded from the small shield, and the flying sword was knocked away several feet. The third person who was holding the sword also took two steps back, while Liu Yuan only swayed slightly.
Everyone can see that the third child not only failed to take advantage, but was also at a disadvantage.
Liu Yuan was relieved. Although the opponent's spiritual power was one level higher, his qualifications and realm were far behind Liu Yuan's, and there was no way he could make up for it.
The expressions of the other two people changed, especially the eldest brother realized that this small shield did not seem to be a bargain, and was about to give a warning. Lao San had already used his power again. He was anxious to regain his disadvantage and mobilized all his spiritual energy. Purple light suddenly erupted, and the flying sword suddenly accelerated, pointing directly at Liu Yuan with a whining sound.
Liu Yuan actually ordered Xiaodun to retreat and released the spirit body. He wanted to test the power of the new spirit body.
After the purple light got close to Liu Yuan, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible wall of air. It thrust in hard, but the speed became slower and slower every time it went deeper. The flying sword finally gave out when it was still a few inches away from the small shield. It stopped and kept buzzing.
The third child's face was red. No matter how hard he activated it, the flying sword could not go any further.
Liu Yuan's spirit body changes endlessly. This time he extended the air cushion technique again and turned it into a wall of air. The sublimated spirit body is more than enough to deal with ordinary Qi refining period disciples.
Seeing the huge contrast, he lost interest in trying the move, so he waved his hand: "Activate!"
The three people quickly used their body-protecting energy, but found that Liu Yuan was still where he was, motionless.
Just when he was wondering, the body-protecting energy behind his back suddenly sounded a dense dinging sound, hundreds of times.
Immediately afterwards, they felt a stinging pain in their buttocks and back. When they reached out to touch it, they found many small needles that were as fine as cow hair.
Then three boom boom booms, and they knew nothing.
