Chapter 722 Black Cloud Island Searching for the Cave (asking for monthly votes)

Seeing that Song Qingming had agreed to help, Chen Yuting's face suddenly lit up, and she hurried forward to bow.

Now Chen Yuting's cultivation is only at the fifth level of foundation building, and she is lacking cultivation resources. The Chen family is just a foundation building family with average strength, and the help they provide for her cultivation is very limited.

If she wants to make further progress in her cultivation and advance to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible to fight for the chance of forming a pill, then Chen Yuting must find a way to raise cultivation resources by herself, otherwise she will be like other elders in the family and be trapped in the foundation building stage for the rest of her life.

After studying the restriction for many years, she has never been able to enter it. Seeing such a great opportunity as a senior cave in front of her, but she has never been able to get it, Chen Yuting has been troubled by this matter in her heart for many years.

Now that Song Qingming, a late Jindan cultivator, is willing to help, she can finally get this opportunity. Chen Yuting also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and her heart is full of gratitude to Song Qingming.

As for Song Qingming, since Huang Siyuan was at home, he was not in a hurry to go back this time, and wanted to stay in "Tianxuan Sect" for a few more days.

Anyway, he was idle here, so helping Chen Yuting to explore a Jindan cultivator's cave house didn't matter much to Song Qingming now, at most he would return to the Floating Cloud Mountains two days later.

Moreover, the things hidden in the cave house left by a Jindan cultivator were also somewhat attractive to Song Qingming, and it was worth his trip.

If he could find something useful in it, it would also bring some unexpected surprises to himself during this trip to "Tianxuan Sect".

"Sister Chen, I also want to go and see this time.

Sister, don't worry, I won't snatch your opportunity. If I get any treasures there, I will definitely hand them over to you and Senior Song. I just want to go with you to broaden my horizons!"

Song Qingming just nodded in agreement, and Luo Li on the side took the initiative to step forward and hold Chen Yuting's hand, saying that he also wanted to go and see.

Seeing this, Chen Yuting quickly tapped her forehead and said, "Without you this time, how could I have the chance to get help from Senior Song? Don't worry, you will definitely have a chance."

"Haha! Sister is still good to me." Luo Li smiled immediately after hearing this, and turned to Song Qingming beside him and asked, "Senior, Sister Chen has promised me, you won't refuse Luo Li to go with you!"

"I'm just going to help in this matter, you can discuss the rest."

Song Qingming didn't have any objection to Luo Li wanting to go with him. It was just to explore the cave of a Jindan cultivator. It was not a difficult thing for him now, and one more person would not have much impact.

After the three agreed on a time, Chen Yuting took the initiative to say goodbye to Song Qingming and the others, and left "Baisha Island" alone.

——

The next day, a white spiritual light suddenly flew up from the port on the west side of "Baisha Island" and rushed straight into the sky to the northwest.

In the middle of the white escape light, Song Qingming was looking at a sea chart in his hand on a white flying boat, adjusting the direction of the flying boat.

Behind him, Chen Yuting and Luo Li sat cross-legged on it, looking at the sea surface under the clouds, and both of them had a bit of excitement on their faces.

Chen Yuting found that the location of the Jindan cultivator's cave was on a relatively desolate volcanic island northwest of the "Red Star Sea Area", which was still some distance away from Baisha Island where the "Tianxuan Sect" was located.

Because there was an active volcano that erupted frequently, the entire island was often filled with various unpleasant volcanic ash and smoke, and the environment was somewhat worse than other islands.

Although there was a good second-level middle-grade spiritual vein on this island, it was uninhabited all year round, and only some monsters that liked fire-attributed spiritual energy were entrenched on the island.

After Song Qingming and the other two set off from "Baisha Island", they flew on a flying boat for nearly three days and finally arrived near this island.

There were still dozens of miles between them, but Song Qingming and the other two saw a black cloud rising to the sky from a distance.

Chen Yuting, who had been here many times, saw this huge black cloud and immediately said to Song Qingming and the others with some joy: "Senior Song, the Black Cloud Island where the cave is is in front of us.

The environment here is a bit bad, and there are many level 2 monsters. Except for some people who want to collect fire attribute spiritual medicine, there are very few cultivators who come here.

I came here to try my luck in search of a spiritual medicine, but I didn't expect that when I was looking for a spiritual medicine, I ran into a three-eyed fire fox, and chased it all the way to accidentally discover the cave."

"There are many coincidences in the world, and you will never miss the opportunity that is meant for you, but it's too early to say these things now. You have to go in and figure out what the opportunity is before you know."

Song Qingming looked at the black cloud in front of him, his face still calm, but Chen Yuting and Luo Li were so excited that they couldn't sit still and stood up directly.

When approaching the "Black Cloud Island", Song Qingming waved his hand and released a shield in front of the flying boat, blocking the volcanic dust that kept falling from the sky, and landed directly on a flat ground on the east side of the island.

The area of ​​this "Black Cloud Island" is more than twice that of the "White Sand Island" where the Tianxuan Sect is located. The spiritual energy on the island is also more concentrated, but the mountain is full of thick dust, and only a small area in the east has flowers, plants and trees under the shade of green trees.

After the three of them got on the island, under the familiar guidance of Chen Yuting, they soon arrived above the crater in the middle of the island.

The thick smoke was constantly gushing out, and the sound of boiling magma could be heard below. The temperature here was far beyond what ordinary people could bear. Even Qi Refining cultivators would find it difficult to stay here for a long time without special magic weapons.

However, the three of them were cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they could use the body-protecting escape light to block the high temperature outside, so they didn't feel too uncomfortable.

After arriving at a groove in the crater, Chen Yuting turned to Song Qingming and the others and said, "Senior Song, the cave is below. The entrance has been covered by my formation. No one should be able to find it easily."

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Well! This place is so secretive. Except for your accidental discovery, basically no one would come here for no reason.

This fellow Taoist built the cave in such a secret place. To be honest, it is not easy for you to find it by chance. It seems that he is very attentive to this."

Seeing that the location of the cave was surrounded by volcanic smoke, it was impossible for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to get close. Song Qingming also secretly admired the ingenuity of its owner.

If Chen Yuting hadn't mistakenly entered here while chasing a monster, it would be unknown when this cave would be discovered.

After explaining, Chen Yuting waved her hand to take out her flying sword, flew directly into the crater below, and soon arrived at a stone platform that could only accommodate two or three people, located dozens of feet below.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately picked up Luo Li, who was standing beside him, and followed Chen Yuting directly. In order not to affect Chen Yuting's casting, Song Qingming stopped in mid-air and did not land on the platform below.

After reaching the stone platform, Chen Yuting moved her magic power with both hands, and immediately took out two formation flags from the storage bag and inserted them directly on the mountain wall in front of her.

Then Chen Yuting quickly cast a spell with both hands, and slowly dispersed the dense smoke gathered around, and soon a cave with a radius of seven or eight feet appeared on the mountain wall.

"Senior Song! It's right inside. I'll lead you in first!"

After saying this to Song Qingming and the other two in mid-air, Chen Yuting took out a white round bead magic weapon that emitted a hint of cold air and held it on her head, then walked into the cave in front first.

Song Qingming and the other two did not delay, and immediately released their own protective auras, and flew over to follow Chen Yuting into the cave.

The cave was also extremely hot. Luo Li, who was not quite used to it for the first time, immediately felt the rolling heat waves coming from the surrounding air, and his face looked a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Song Qingming on the side immediately increased his magic power, doubled the protective aura on his body that resisted the heat, and covered Luo Li beside him, which made her face look better.

The three of them walked less than a hundred feet into the cave, and the terrain in front suddenly began to tilt downwards. They moved down a few hundred feet and finally came to a relatively large cave.

This cave is about 50-60 meters wide, and there are obvious signs of artificial excavation around it. It is not difficult to judge from here that it must have been done by a high-level cultivator.

Because it is located deep in the volcano, in addition to the scorching flames around, there are many places where a trace of red magma emerges from time to time, making the whole cave have a trace of light in the dark underground.

Chen Yuting led the two through the cave to the deepest stone door, and then stopped her steps.

"Senior Song, this is it. The magic weapon I took out was found in the stone chamber over there.

The restriction on this stone door is very powerful. I spent many years destroying only a layer of concealing magic array on the surface. The real restriction inside has always been helpless and unable to be opened.

However, after so many years of attempts, I have also studied some ways to solve this restriction. This time, Senior Song came with me, and it should be possible to break this restriction without any accidents."

Hearing Chen Yuting's words, Song Qingming nodded to her calmly, and then turned and came to the stone chamber she had just pointed out, which had been abandoned for a long time.

As Chen Yuting said before, there were only two ordinary stone shelves in the stone chamber, on which were placed some relatively large stone jars and some small porcelain bottles.

After many years of no one managing it, it had long been turned upside down by the monsters that mistakenly entered this place, and the bottles and jars on it were already empty, without anything.

Because no one had cleaned it for a long time, the stone room was covered with dust. Song Qingming stood at the door and looked around. His eyes suddenly turned to the pile of rocks in the corner, and then he walked over calmly.

"Senior Song, I have searched here several times before, and I didn't find anything useful." Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to have found something, Chen Yuting said something puzzled and followed him.

Song Qingming came to the front of the pile of stones, and ignored Chen Yuting beside him. He took a dusty copper plate from the pile of inconspicuous rocks.

This copper plate has been in the rocks for many years, and it has lost some color. After being covered with dust, it has merged with the ground.

"Hey! What is this thing, Senior Song?" Seeing that Song Qingming really found a copper plate from inside, Chen Yuting and Luo Li on the side immediately surrounded him and asked puzzledly.

Song Qingming, who was holding the bronze medal, took a closer look and shook his head and said: "This object is damaged and I can't see its specific legs. I just feel that there is some corpse energy on it. It seems to be a magic weapon for refining corpses or something like that." ”

"A magical weapon for refining corpses?"

Seeing that Song Qingming found something as soon as he arrived, they thought it was another precious spiritual object such as a magic weapon. After hearing Song Qingming's answer, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on the faces of Chen Yuting and Luo Li.

An ordinary magical weapon used for refining corpses, even if it is intact, is only worth a few hundred spiritual stones at most. What's more, this object has been seriously damaged and cannot be exchanged for any spiritual stones at all. The same goes for the two of them. A happy scene for nothing.

"Senior Song, since we can't find anything good here, why don't we hurry up and break the formation? Enter the cave as soon as possible to get what we need, and we can return to Baisha Island as soon as possible."

After hearing Chen Yuting's reminder, Song Qingming did not delay any further. After nodding thoughtfully, he put away the bronze medal in his hand and then left the stone room with them.

After several people returned to the stone door, Chen Yuting was about to step forward to prepare to break the formation, but was stopped by Song Qingming directly.

"You guys stand down first, I know how to break this formation."

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Chen Yuting couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Oh! Are you, Senior Song, also an formation master?"

Hearing Chen Yuting's inquiry, Song Qingming did not answer directly. Instead, he took out five high-level formation flags and told her the answer directly through actions.

I saw Song Qingming casting spells with both hands. The formation flags immediately flashed with light, and under Song Qingming's control, they were inserted around the stone gate and above several formation eyes.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuting, who was still a little confused, immediately knew that Song Qingming's formation level was far above hers. After smiling awkwardly, Chen Yuting's eyes immediately focused on Song Qingming.

Being able to see a high-level formation master demonstrate the method of breaking formations at such a close distance is a rare opportunity for an formation master. Chen Yuting certainly does not want to miss such a good learning opportunity.

The restriction placed on the stone gate is a third-level mid-level formation. Although it has been left unattended for many years, the power of the formation has weakened a lot.

But after all, it is still a third-level mid-level array. Even if its power is not at its peak, it is not something that Chen Yuting, a second-level array mage, can break at will.

If Song Qingming didn't take action directly, with Chen Yuting's formation level, even if it went smoothly, he would have to prepare for at least three or four days before he could break through the formation.

Facing a third-level mid-level formation that had been greatly reduced in power, Song Qingming's current level of formation did not expend much effort. It only took less than an hour to easily remove all the restrictions above the stone gate.

Seeing Song Qingming put away the formation flags around the stone gate, Chen Yuting who was standing aside immediately stepped forward and cupped her hands and said: "I didn't expect that the senior's formation skills are so advanced. This junior's skill is so smart today, it really makes the senior laugh."

When Song Qingming heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said: "I have been practicing the art of formation for more than two hundred years, and I have achieved some success. Luo Li doesn't know how to blame you for this.

You made a good judgment earlier. This formation is already a third-level mid-level magic formation. It is indeed not something that ordinary monks can set up. The people who set up the formation are at least at the Golden Core level or above.

After you go in later, you two must be careful and don't touch the things inside casually to avoid any forbidden plot. "

"Senior, don't worry, this junior knows it!" After hearing Song Qingming's instructions, Chen Yuting and Luo Li immediately responded.

After confirming that the owner of the cave in front of them was at least a Golden Core cultivator, the two girls felt a little more excited at the moment, full of expectations for the spiritual objects at the door.

After giving Luo Li two instructions, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then cast a spell to summon the "Golden Wind" and commanded him to step forward and push open the stone door in front of him.

As soon as the stone door was opened, a burst of dust immediately rolled up inside. After Song Qingming waved his hand gently and released a breeze to blow it away, he stepped forward to "Golden Wind" and took a closer look at the cave in front of them.

This cave is not very large, only about five or six feet wide than the cave outside.

However, although it is small, it is packed with things. In addition to some visible daily necessities, the surrounding wooden shelves are filled with various bottles, jars, magical instruments, spiritual talismans, martial arts books, etc. Various spiritual creatures can be found almost everywhere.

On the right side of the cave, there are dozens of unopened wooden boxes stacked in rows taller than a person. Next to them, various materials and minerals are piled in the corner like a hill.

After so many years of practice, Song Qingming had gone out with others to explore the caves of other high-level monks. He was already mentally prepared for what he saw, but he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

If it weren't for the confirmation that this place should be a monk's cave, Song Qingming would have thought that he had entered someone's treasury by mistake.

"Wow! There are so many things. Senior, it seems that we have really made a fortune this time." Before Song Qingming could speak, Luo Li, who was standing aside, took the lead and shouted excitedly.

However, because of Song Qingming's previous warning, even though Luo Li couldn't bear it and stepped forward to check, he still didn't move forward. He just looked at Song Qingming with a happy face, waiting for his next step.

Chen Yuting was also very excited at the moment. Even if she couldn't find other good things, just bringing these spiritual objects back would be enough for her to make a fortune and successfully reach the ninth level of foundation building.

If she can still find the cave master's storage bag and get a few third-level spiritual items from it, she will have the opportunity to exchange for alchemy spiritual items in the future, and she will also have the opportunity to become a high-ranking golden elixir monk like Song Qingming in the future.

However, in front of Song Qingming, Chen Yuting tried her best to conceal her inner excitement, carefully stepped forward and asked: "Senior, is there anything wrong here? Can we go in now?"

"Well! Let's go in first."

Song Qingming, who was standing at the door, took a careful look around and found nothing strange. He nodded slightly to the two of them and walked in first with "Golden Wind".

After the three of them entered the cave, they immediately began to carefully search for the spiritual objects on the wooden shelves and collected all the useful things they could take away.

Although the items on the shelf are not of high quality, they are numerous in number. You can easily exchange them for ten or twenty thousand spiritual stones, which is already a considerable amount of wealth for their foundation-building monks.

Some spiritual objects were damaged due to time, and Chen Yuting and Luo Li did not let them go. Both of them were monks who were used to frugal life. They finally made a fortune, and this time they completely let themselves go.

Song Qingming glanced around and found that most of the places were first- and second-level low-level spiritual objects, none of which he could use, so he lost much interest and walked to the other side of the cave.

This cave was full of dazzling things, and it didn't look like an abandoned place. Song Qingming glanced around but didn't see the corpse of the owner of the cave, and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

The caves of Jindan monks are generally not too simple. Although the outside is full of various spiritual objects, based on Song Qingming's experience, these things should only be used to hide the hidden treasures. The location of the owner of the cave is where the real treasure is hidden. land.

"Senior, why are there so many monks' bones here!"

Just when he was looking for information from the agency and trying to find out where the owner of the cave was hiding, he suddenly heard Luo Li's exclamation from behind him, and Song Qingming hurriedly turned around and came to her side.

Song Qingming did not open the large wooden boxes piled in the corner to check, thinking that they contained the same ore materials as the ones next to them.

It wasn't until Luo Li came over and opened one of them just now that he discovered that it contained the skeleton of a corrupted monk.

It wasn't just this wooden box. After Song Qingming opened the other wooden boxes, he found that they were all the skeletons of monks who had lived and died for many years.

Most of them had unrecognizable faces and had turned into white bones. Only two or three Shang, who had a higher level of cultivation and had reached the foundation building stage, were still somewhat intact.

"Senior, the owner of this cave has placed so many corpses in this kind of place. Could it be that he is practicing some evil magic?"

Seeing the mountains of monk skeletons in front of her, Chen Yuting immediately felt something strange in her heart, and hurriedly asked Song Qingming.

"I don't feel much demonic energy here. It's probably not the work of a demonic cultivator. It's probably a monk who has practiced the corpse puppet method like me. It's just that most monks can only refine one or two corpse puppets. This person put It is indeed a bit strange to have so many monk corpses here.

The Jindan monk's cave will definitely not only contain these low-level spiritual objects. Don't worry now. Once we find the owner of the cave, we should know everything. "(End of chapter)
