Chapter 67 Xuanyin Demon Cave
However, the Xuanyin Demon Cave is very dangerous in itself, and with the competition of elite disciples from various sects, it is even more dangerous!
For example, there is no Jindan cultivator in Wanmu Peak where Fang Yang and his friends are now, and the inheritance has been cut off. It is because several Jindan cultivators died in the last Xuanyin Demon Cave that the current situation of Wanmu Peak withering has been caused.
Half a month after the end of the sect competition, Xie Dechen and Xie Xueyi went to Fang Yang's bamboo building on Wanmu Peak together.
At this time, Xie Dechen's face was much rosier, and it was obvious that his body had greatly improved after taking the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma.
He had obviously learned some inside information from Xie Xueyi.
He was still very grateful to Fang Yang, saying that if Fang Yang had any problems in the future, he would never stand idly by, and gave him a talisman of a Jindan cultivator.
Although Fang Yang didn't need it now, Xie Dechen's promise was still very useful.
At the same time, Xie Xueyi also sent some Nine-Leaf Ganoderma seeds as agreed.
As for Fang Yang's prize, Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Soul, Fang Yang sent it to He Dong a month later.
But before that, Fang Yang had "planted" a new ten thousand year black soul through Qingyuan Immortal Mountain.
When He Dong just took over this thing, he couldn't believe it, and then he burst into tears.
"Brother Fang, thank you! I finally have hope!" He Dong said with tears in his eyes.
"Brother He, why did you choose this thing among all the treasures?" Fang Yang was also very curious about He Dong's mysterious background.
"Brother Fang, you know that my home is very far away, and this ten thousand year black soul may be an important item for me to return to my hometown. As long as the time is right, I will tell you all my secrets!"
He Dong said very sincerely.
Fang Yang nodded and didn't ask any more.
He followed He Dong to learn formations, mechanisms and some puppetry techniques and achieved good results. He always felt that although He Dong never talked about his background, his character was absolutely reliable.
So he stopped asking.
And Fang Yang's two brothers, Zhang Lin and Nuo Po, seemed quite down these days.
After all, if you don't become a top 30 cultivator and fail to get the foundation-building pill, it means that you can only get it by completing the extremely dangerous Xuanyin Demon Cave mission.
Fang Yang did not persuade them, but told them that he would also participate in the Xuanyin Demon Cave trial mission, which made Zhang Lin and Nuo Po a little happy and a little guilty.
Fang Yang is strong, and with his participation, the chance of successful completion may be greatly increased.
What is guilty is that Fang Yang already has the foundation-building pill and still wants to take risks, obviously he can't let go of the brotherhood.
This touched Zhang Lin and Nuo Po very much.
Whenever Fang Yang saw that the two of them were embarrassed, he would always persuade them: "My aptitude is very poor. Even if I have a foundation-building pill, the effort to successfully build a foundation is only negligible. Only by passing the trial mission and getting ten or eight foundation-building pills can I successfully build a foundation!"
Fang Yang's words finally made Zhang Lin and Nuo Po get rid of the knot in their hearts.
Sure enough, less than a month after the foundation building competition ended, Wanxiang Sect issued a series of Xuanyin Demon Cave missions.
In fact, all the major sects in the Linglan Mountains issued the same missions.
Xuanyin Demon Cave is a relic of the valley, and the natural treasures inside are extremely well protected.
Therefore, even the Yuanying cultivators are very envious of the things in the Xuanyin Demon Cave.
Therefore, the mission of the Xuanyin Demon Cave has become a test for many Qi training disciples.
These missions and detailed introductions to the Xuanyin Demon Cave are all recorded in the jade slip.
And every Qi training cultivator who signs up for the Xuanyin Demon Cave mission can get such a jade slip.
The jade slip contains some simple maps of the Xuanyin Demon Cave, and also marks some dangers of each place.
Of course, there are those marked by Yuanying cultivators and other high-level cultivators once a hundred years, and there are also those marked by Qi training cultivators once every ten years, and each one is different.
After all, it takes at least ten years to open the Xuanyin Demon Cave each time, and high-level cultivators have to wait at least a hundred years.
And according to the records of previous cultivators, the scope of the Xuanyin Demon Cave is extremely large.
Even if there were Nascent Soul cultivators who had been flying in it and had not found the end, they were forced to teleport out when the time was up.
Many of those who participated in the Xuanyin Demon Cave mission were Qi Refining cultivators who were extremely determined and devoted to pursuing the Great Dao, but had failed in the Foundation Building Competition or had lost the qualification to participate in the Foundation Building Competition.
Only such people were willing to risk their lives to go to the valley to find some treasures that the Jindan stage elders of the sect had specified.
Then they used these treasures to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill reward from the sect.
Fang Yang, who signed up for this trip to the Xuanyin Demon Cave, naturally also received such a jade slip that recorded the Xuanyin Demon Cave mission.
It briefly listed the various tasks issued by the elders of the Wanxiang Sect this time.
Of course, other sects in the Linglan Mountains would issue similar tasks, but the rewards would depend on the needs.
Fang Yang carefully read the character information.
Thousand-year Xuanyue grass, unhatched eggs of the fifth-level spirit beast Tianfeng Python, ten-thousand-year bamboo green stone...
There were no less than hundreds of them, all of which were extremely rare spirit objects.
The jade slip also recorded in detail what kind of monsters were dangerous near each spiritual object, as well as records of people who had been in danger here.
"What is this?" Fang Yang suddenly found a task - Hundred-year-old Jade Face Grass.
Other spiritual herbs are thousands of years old, but this Hundred-year-old Jade Face Grass only needs a hundred years old.
Fang Yang read it carefully and realized that although this grass is only a hundred years old, it is indispensable for refining the anti-aging pill.
However, the hundred-year-old jade face grass is also a favorite of monsters, and it is necessary to fight with multiple monsters to obtain it.
However, Fang Yang also found that the jade slip also recorded that the jade face grass that is not a hundred years old does not attract monsters.
Thinking of this, Fang Yang smiled knowingly. You must know that the Xuanyin Demon Cave will be open for half a year this time. Even if it is only a one-year-old jade face grass, Fang Yang has time to ripen it into a hundred-year-old jade face grass.
However, Fang Yang must also remain vigilant, because not far from the valley where the jade face grass is located is a group of powerful crocodile monsters.
If you provoke these guys, I am afraid Fang Yang will be in great trouble.
After a few months of rest, just before Fang Yang and his team set off, He Dong came to Fang Yang again.
When he heard that Fang Yang was going to enter the Xuanyin Demon Cave for trial, he repeatedly advised him.
However, after understanding Fang Yang's qualifications and his heart to seek the truth, he no longer stopped him.
Then He Dong also sent Fang Yang a jade slip, which was left by his master before he traveled.
It recorded a very detailed map of the Xuanyin Demon Cave.
Fang Yang already knew that He Dong's master was the former Jindan Great Elder Mo Lingfeng.
Otherwise, He Dong would not have such a top-grade spiritual weapon as the "Wanxiang Guizong Plate".
As for this map jade slip, it is even more precious.
You should know that He Dong's master Mo Lingfeng entered the Xuanyin Demon Cave with the Yuanying Patriarch and gained a lot of benefits.
Therefore, he was able to enter the late Jindan stage in a hundred years.
The map he left behind is naturally extraordinary, even the map of the Yuanying cultivator is probably not much better.
In this special map jade slip, compared with other ordinary jade slips, in addition to these task information, there are also very detailed texts to introduce the origin of the entire Xuanyin Demon Cave and the basic situation of the terrain, monsters, etc.
"Xuanyin Demon Cave, called Demon Cave, is actually a space secret realm!"
The first sentence of the text surprised Fang Yang.
He originally thought that the Demon Cave might be a big cave, but now it seems that he was just imagining things.
Fang Yang concluded from the jade slip that the entrance to the Xuanyin Demon Cave is indeed in a cave in the center of the Linglan Mountains.
When the secret realm is opened, the cave will release Xuanyin demonic energy due to the strange formation, and at the same time, it will break several space channels.
Then the cultivators below the foundation building stage, that is, the high-level Qi training stage, will be brought to a space secret realm, which is the real location of the Xuanyin Demon Cave.
The power of the restriction in this Xuanyin Demon Cave will weaken for half a year every ten years.
At this time, cultivators in the Qi training stage can barely enter the valley, and once cultivators above the foundation building stage enter the valley, they will be killed on the spot by the strange restriction.
Only every hundred years, there will be a period of more than half a month to one month, and the restriction will completely disappear.
But at that time, the monsters in the secret realm would become particularly agitated and powerful. Even the first-level monsters would burst out with extremely strong strength. Only Jindan and Yuanying cultivators dared to enter.
However, even with their cultivation, sometimes they could not protect themselves.
No cultivator in Linglan Mountain could tell how many years the Xuanyin Demon Cave had existed.
And there were many terrifying and dangerous restrictions inside. Whenever they entered it, the survival law of the jungle in the cultivation world became the only law inside.
Killing people and stealing treasures was the most common thing, not to mention any conspiracy, poison and sneak attack, which was also commonplace.
What's more terrifying is that the monsters in the Xuanyin Demon Cave would occasionally have beast tides.
In this way, those high-level Qi Refining cultivators who could not get the Foundation Establishment Pill had to fight to the death in order to make further progress in their cultivation.
After each trip to the Xuanyin Demon Cave, the competition between cultivators became more intense, and the death rate of cultivators became higher and higher.
This is the case for all cultivators in the Qi training stage. It is not difficult to imagine how tragic and bloody the situation would be for those Jindan and Yuanying cultivators who are well versed in the laws of the cultivation world when they enter the place once every hundred years.
It can be seen from this that it is not a big deal that the cultivators of Wanmu Peak were annihilated and even their inheritance was cut off because of entering the place.
It is precisely because of the death of many cultivators that the name of "Devil's Cave" has made this space secret realm a reality.
Although the danger is extremely great and many cultivators have died because of it, if they can survive by chance and obtain some natural treasures.
However, there are only more than ten cultivators who have obtained the foundation-building pill from the sect through the trial each time.
And among these lucky ones, there are even a few who finally succeeded in advancing and became the foundation-building cultivators that everyone envied.
And some cultivators, if they are lucky and get a lot of things, can even lay a solid foundation for becoming the Jindan cultivators that everyone envied in the future.
Opportunities and challenges coexist! The greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity.
Therefore, in Linglan Mountain Range, although many cultivators knew that the trip to Xuanyin Demon Cave was extremely dangerous, hundreds of Qi Refining disciples voluntarily signed up to participate each time.
However, it was considered very good if 20 to 30 of them could come back.
However, Fang Yang and his companions also saw from the sect's classics that some cultivators had gained a lot.
The current Wanxiang Sect ancestor had entered the cave when he was in the Qi Refining Stage, and survived a life-and-death struggle, and finally obtained 13 foundation-building pills.
This also laid a very deep foundation for him to become a Jindan cultivator and then a Yuanying ancestor in the future.
