Chapter 650: Treasure Hunt in the Valley (Additional updates, please give me monthly votes)
Before arriving here, although Liang Daosheng had already asked a question on the way, Li Xuan was still quite cautious about this matter and had not revealed the specific location of the "Yanling Water" to everyone.
After arriving at this high mountain, he heard Liang Daosheng asking again, and then he replied to the three people beside him: "Dear Taoist friends, this Yanling Water is in a cave behind the waterfall.
However, there is a demon king who has just broken through to the late Jindan stage guarding in front of the waterfall. We still need to find a way to drive it away before we can enter the cave smoothly. I hope that all Taoist friends can work together to repel the enemy!"
"Haha! This demon has just broken through to the late Jindan stage. It is simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot against the four of us. Don't worry, fellow Li Daoist, this is just a test of the knife.
If that guy retreats wisely, it's fine. If he dares to stay and block the way, he may have to peel off his skin to take the elixir, so that we can get more spiritual objects back!" Liang Daosheng smiled confidently.
Before setting off, although Li Xuan did not tell Song Qingming and his friends the specific location of the "Yanling Water" in the Demon Sealing Valley, he still mentioned the information about this demon king to Song Qingming and his friends.
Three of the four people present were strong mid-stage Jindan cultivators.
The remaining Liang Daosheng also had the peak cultivation of the third level of Jindan. With the Jindan "corpse puppet" he had just obtained at the auction of the "Tiangui Sect" not long ago, his combat power was almost equal to that of a fourth-level Jindan cultivator.
Four mid-stage Jindan warriors, facing a demon king who had just broken through the late Jindan period, were already far superior to their opponents on paper. Not to mention hunting down this big demon king, Song Qingming and his friends could still easily repel the opponent.
That was why Liang Daosheng had the confidence to say such contemptuous words when he heard Li Xuan mention this demon king.
As soon as Liang Daosheng finished speaking, Cui Ping shook his head slightly and said, "Alas! We are here only to obtain spiritual water to refine the corpse puppets. It is enough to drive them away and not to cause any more trouble.
Fellow Daoists, although this place is still some distance away from the core area of the valley, it is not a safe place. You cannot stay in a place of trouble for a long time!"
"Fellow Daoist Cui is right. I am here only for spiritual water. It is better not to cause any more trouble!" Song Qingming also echoed after hearing this.
Although the few people were deep in the place, except for the demon king they already knew, there was no trace of danger. However, Song Qingming felt a little uneasy about this place since he entered the Demon Sealing Valley, so he did not want to stay too long.
Even though he knew that hunting a Jindan demon king would give him enough spiritual objects to get at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones, Song Qingming was not too excited about it. He just hoped that he could successfully obtain spiritual water and leave here safely.
Seeing that Cui Ping and Song Qingming were unwilling to cause trouble, Li Xuan nodded slightly and agreed: "In this case, we should not get too entangled with them. Let's work together and quickly force them back.
Don't worry, fellow Taoists, after we get the spiritual water, I will teach you the secret method of refining corpse puppets. It won't take up too much time."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, his eyes turned to Liang Daosheng on the side. Seeing that he had nodded in agreement, he said no more and led everyone to the waterfall.
Just when everyone came to the bottom of the waterfall, there was a loud noise at the bottom of the pool. A monster with a huge strange horn rushed out of the water and blocked Song Qingming and others.
"What. People! How dare you trespass into my territory!"
The voice of this demon king was a little intermittent and unpleasant, and it looked very strange. Song Qingming had never seen such a similar monster before, and he couldn't call out his name for a while.
"I'm sorry, Daoist friend. Today we need to borrow your way!" Li Xuan, who was rushing in front, uttered a word, and the flying sword magic weapon in his hand had already swung a sword light at the demon king in front.
Then he waved his hand lightly, and summoned a "corpse puppet" whose cultivation had reached the third level of Jindan, commanding it to rush to the opponent's position.
Li Xuan had just taken action, and Song Qingming and the other two did not dare to fall behind. They immediately took out magic weapons and "corpse puppets" and began to actively besiege the demon king.
Especially Liang Daosheng, who was always a little impatient along the way, took out two powerful magic weapons at the same time, and performed particularly hard, as if he wanted to prove in front of everyone that his strength was not much weaker than Song Qingming and other Jindan mid-stage cultivators.
The demon king who blocked the few people in front had only broken through the late Jindan not long ago, and his strength was about the seventh level of Jindan compared to the human cultivators.
Facing the attack of Song Qingming and his four men plus several golden elixir "corpse puppets", the one-horned demon king was defeated before the battle lasted for dozens of rounds.
Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered and he was no match for Song Qingming and his men, the demon king roared, spit out the golden elixir in his body, and made a strong attack to force back Liang Daosheng and the golden elixir "corpse puppet" next to him.
Then he rolled up a gray gust of wind, quickly broke out of the crowd's encirclement, and fled directly to the distance, and soon disappeared.
After chasing for a distance, the crowd saw that the demon king had really escaped, so they did not continue to chase him, and turned to Liang Daosheng, who had just been beaten back by the demon king.
"Friend Liang, are you okay?" Seeing that Liang Daosheng was taking pills to heal his injuries, Li Xuan hurriedly asked him with concern.
Liang Daosheng's cultivation was only at the third level of the Golden Core, and there was still a big gap between him and the late Golden Core demon king. Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked and spit out blood on the spot.
"Haha! It's not a big deal to have a minor injury. I'm sorry to have worried you all!"
Seeing the concerned greetings from Song Qingming and others, Liang Daosheng patiently healed his wounds while wiping away the trace of blood that remained at the corner of his mouth, and waved to everyone with a smile.
It was not only Liang Daosheng who had just resisted the opponent's attack, but also the Golden Core "corpse puppet" that had been beside him, which helped him, its master, to share a lot of damage from the opponent.
Liang Daosheng's "Golden Core" corpse puppet had a small concave part on its chest at this moment, and it seemed that one or two ribs were broken, and it was also seriously injured.
Fortunately, the "corpse puppet" body was still very strong. This level of injury would take them a few months to recover at most, and it was not a very serious matter.
Seeing that Liang Daosheng's injury was not serious, Song Qingming and the others were relieved. However, Liang Daosheng was still recovering at this moment, and the three of them could not leave him alone to get the spiritual water first, so they stayed there and waited for a while.
After all, Liang Daosheng was injured in the battle against the late Jindan demon king just now. This was for the common interests of everyone. It was reasonable for everyone to stay there and wait for him for a while, and there was no unhappiness in their hearts.
After half an incense stick of time, Liang Daosheng slowly put away his magic power, stood up and smiled and bowed slightly to everyone, saying: "Sorry! I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"We should advance and retreat together. Fellow Daoist Liang, there is no need to be so polite. Since you are not injured, let us go in!"
After replying to Liang Daosheng, Li Xuan immediately turned around and waved his hand to release a water-proof shield beside him, and then took Song Qingming and the others to fly directly to the position below the waterfall.
After passing through the falling water flow at a distance of several dozen feet above the pool, Li Xuan led everyone into a naturally formed cave.
This cave is not very big, and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. There are some small branching caves around it.
After Li Xuan entered the cave, he first carefully glanced at the surroundings, and then summoned his own Jindan "corpse puppet" and directed it to explore the way forward.
Li Xuan's Jindan "corpse puppet" has reached the peak of the third level of Jindan, and is also the one with the highest cultivation among the "corpse puppets" on the scene.
Although the specific identity and origin of the other party are still unknown, from the secret method in Li Xuan's hand that helps to improve the cultivation speed of the "corpse puppet", and the cultivation of the Jindan "corpse puppet" he summoned later.
Song Qingming still has no difficulty in judging that the guy in front of him is likely to be from a sect power similar to the "Tiangui Sect" that has inherited the skills of cultivating "corpse puppets", unlike the other two.
After walking about a hundred feet in the dark cave, the space in front of them suddenly became clear, and everyone found that they had walked into a square stone cave about ten feet long and wide.
"That's right! It should be here."
Li Xuan, who was walking in the front, saw a ball of burning blue flames appear in front of the stone cave, and immediately walked over excitedly.
"Is this the Flame Spirit Water that Li Daoyou said can cleanse the body of the corpse puppet?" Liang Daosheng, who had been walking at the end of the team, immediately walked to the front after hearing the words, looking at the blue flames not far away and asked Li Xuan seriously.
"Yes! The immortal water that is as blue as the sky and shaped like Yin Fire is this thing."
Looking at a ball of spiritual water that looked like a blue flame flowing in a naturally formed trough not far in front of him, Li Xuan introduced it briefly and nodded to everyone.
After hearing Li Xuan confirm that he had found the "Yanling Water", Song Qingming and Cuiping were also slightly shocked and smiled. The happiest one was Liang Daosheng, who had been the most anxious.
This time, except for dealing with the late Jindan demon king, they did not encounter any accidents or fights along the way. It was surprisingly smooth. They got this precious "Yanling Water" so easily. How could they not be happy at this moment?
"Dear Taoist friends, if this thing encounters wood and fire spiritual power when it is taken out, it will easily self-ignite in the air. It is best to use water-attributed magic power to touch it."
Seeing that the other three people were already eager to try and wanted to take the treasure immediately, Li Xuan, who was standing in the front, hurriedly reminded them.
Then Li Xuan took out a white porcelain bottle from his body, aimed it at the "Yanling Water" flowing in the boulder trough, and began to cast a spell to suck the spiritual water inside into the porcelain bottle in his hand.
After a while, he filled a small bottle of "Flame Spirit Water", stood up with a satisfied smile, and threw it to Liang Daosheng, who was the most anxious among the few people.
"This bottle is enough for you to cleanse the corpse puppet in your hand, Liang Daosheng, please keep it first!"
"Haha! I finally got this thing, thank you for your help, Li Daosheng!" Liang Daosheng took the porcelain bottle in his hand, opened it and took a look at the spiritual water inside, and immediately bowed to Li Xuan with a happy face.
After Liang Daosheng put away the porcelain bottle in his hand, Li Xuan took out several empty bottles that had been prepared long ago, and filled one bottle for Song Qingming and Cui Ping respectively.
Li Xuan obtained a total of five bottles of "Fire Spirit Water" from this groove. After all four people received one bottle, there were more bottles left, so he put them away in front of everyone.
The four of them had already made an agreement before they came. After Song Qingming and the three of them each received a bottle of spiritual water, any remaining "flame spiritual water" would belong to Li Xuan, so no one had any objections to his move. .
After taking out the "Yan Ling Shui" from the stone trough, Li Xuan took out three volumes of bamboo slips that had already been burned, gave them to Song Qingming and three others, and said softly:
"What is recorded here is the secret method of refining spiritual water, please keep it!
This secret method was specially recorded by me. It can only be used once and cannot be copied to others. I hope you use it with caution, otherwise I will not be responsible if it is lost in the future. "
After getting the bamboo slips, Song Qingming and the others used their spiritual senses to explore it a little. After discovering that it was indeed the secret method for refining the "corpse puppet", they were relieved and put it away.
Liang Daosheng, who was standing aside, put away the secret technique in his hand and couldn't help but ask Li Xuan:
"Fellow Daoist Li, I would like to ask you this. It seems to me that this is your first time in this cave. How did you know exactly that there is this Flame Spiritual Water here?"
Facing the other party's sudden questioning, Li Xuan frowned slightly at first, then his expression changed and he quickly relaxed, and he replied to Liang Daosheng calmly:
"I accidentally obtained this secret method when I was exploring a senior cave in my early years. At that time, it also came with an animal skin map, which clearly recorded this place. That's why I found this place."
"Oh! So that's it. Fellow Daoist Li was able to find the cave of a senior monk. It's such a good opportunity. I'm really jealous of how long I waited." Liang Daosheng heard Li Xuan's answer and immediately responded.
"Haha! I think the two fellow Taoists have some problems. Why don't we wait until we leave here and then sit down and chat slowly!" Seeing this, Song Qingming on the side also smiled and urged the two of them.
Although everyone has successfully obtained the "Fire Spirit Water", they are still in the "Demon Sealing Valley" and are not completely out of danger. At this time, Song Qingming does not want to accompany them to chat here and delay everyone's departure. . (End of chapter)
