Chapter 361: Fire Array
Although the four Chixiao Xianmen disciples failed to get their soul blood back, they were all overjoyed when they saw Ye Ling give them another 10,000 spirit stones!
They might not be able to save up 10,000 spirit stones even after saving for several years, but now they actually got 20,000 spirit stones in one go, plus a jar of top-quality Yueju Spirit Wine, which made them all excited.
The four of them thanked him profusely and said, "Thank you, Brother Dao! We will do our best to serve you!"
"Reporting to Brother Dao, the teleportation array in front of the Spirit Mine can also be used to teleport to the outside of the Sky Fire Cave, which is 60,000 miles away from Huoyun Ridge! It is one of the forbidden areas of this Xianmen, and it is rich in various fire-type spiritual herbs. It is said that there is also a medicinal material for refining the Golden Pill, the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit!"
Ye Ling's heart moved. The Golden Pill is a pill taken to impact the Golden Pill realm. How many foundation-building cultivators are eager for it, and their lifespan ends at more than 200 years old. They regret their whole life because they did not make a Golden Pill to impact the Golden Pill realm!
Now, when he suddenly heard that there was a medicinal ingredient for refining the golden elixir, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and said in a deep voice: "Oh? Since the Sky Fire Cave is the forbidden place of your Chixiao Xianmen, there must be a golden elixir elder guarding it. Do you know where the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit is in the Sky Fire Cave?"
"No, no, the Sky Fire Cave is not guarded by a golden elixir elder, but there is a great fire formation set up by the ancestors of the Xianmen! No matter who it is, no one can enter without permission, unless they have the token of the ancestors to open the Sky Fire Cave. As for where the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit grows in the cave, how can we know? I just heard about it from my fellow disciples. Every time the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit matures, the ancestors of the Xianmen will definitely come to the Sky Fire Cave to pick it. Even the golden elixir elders of this Xianmen don't know the approximate location of the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit."
The thin disciple surnamed Ning talked freely, obviously knowing a lot of secrets of the Xianmen, but he was completely in the dark about the Sky Fire Underworld Fruit, and only heard about it.
Ye Ling nodded silently, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well! I will teleport to the outside of the Sky Fire Cave. You quickly go and disperse the Qi training practitioners near the Spirit Mine, and don't let anyone see my tracks."
The four people agreed in unison and led the way. When they met the Qi training disciples and miners guarding the Spirit Mine, they lied that a powerful monster was passing through and ordered them to get into the mine.
In order to be safe, Ye Ling wore a light gauze hat that concealed his spiritual sense, a straw raincoat, and dressed up as a fisherman. Under the guard of the four people, he stepped onto the teleportation array in front of the Spirit Mine and teleported directly to the forbidden area of Chixiao Xianmen, outside the Sky Fire Cave.
Arriving here, Ye Ling spread his spiritual sense and looked around. As the four of them said, the outside of the Sky Fire Cave was very desolate. In the wilderness, there was only a scorching fire formation in the northwest. In other places, dry fire spirits were everywhere. Most of the rocks were fire spirit ore rocks with mixed fire spirits, and some fire spirit grasses grew.
Ye Ling looked at the fire formation from afar, trying to see through the formation to see what was going on in the Sky Fire Cave, but the fire formation was so blazing that it was impossible to see clearly from a distance.
Ye Ling took out a fifth-level top-grade gold flying sword and flew towards the fire formation in the northwest with the sword light. He wanted to get closer and see if there were any flaws in the formation arranged by the ancestors of the immortal sect. If he could use it, it would be a good way to enter the Sky Fire Cave.
Who knew that when he flew to the periphery of the formation, he felt the heat of the raging fire and suddenly saw several sharp sword lights flying towards him!
"Who is coming? Huh? You don't look like a disciple of the Chixiao Immortal Sect?"
The purple-robed monk in the lead pointed at Ye Ling, who was dressed like a fisherman, and said in surprise.
Ye Ling used his spiritual sense to scan and saw that the six of them were all cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and the lowest one was at the seventh level of foundation building! They were dressed in different clothes, and there was no flame-shaped waist badge of the Chixiao Immortal Sect hanging around their waists. It was obviously a mixed group of monks.
Ye Ling didn't know the origin of this group of monks, nor did he know why they came to the sparsely populated fire formation. He quickly calculated each other's combat power in his mind. With his four sixth-level spirit beasts, he would not be defeated against this group of late foundation building monks, at least he could escape calmly.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling relaxed and said calmly: "Fellow Daoists, I am just passing by. I heard that this is a forbidden place of Chixiao Xianmen. I was curious and came to see what it is."
The six people did not expect Ye Ling to be so calm. Some of them showed murderous intent and said sinisterly: "Captain! There are always few people here. No matter whether he is a disciple of Chixiao Xianmen or not, if we run into him, it may hinder our plan. It is better to get rid of him to prevent future troubles!"
Ye Ling heard it clearly, laughed, waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. You and I have never met before. How can we kill each other when we meet? What's more, I am definitely not a disciple of Chixiao Xianmen. Fellow Daoists can rest assured."
Ye Ling said nicely, but his left hand held the life-saving jade slip containing a mid-stage Jindan attack, and his right hand pressed on the spirit beast bag, ready to go.
The purple monk who was leading the team looked Ye Ling up and down. Seeing that he was standing on a fifth-grade flying sword, he nodded secretly and said without question: "You also heard that our team is going to do something big here! Give you two choices, either join our team and work together with us to achieve great things; or you will die. In order to silence the witness, we have no choice but to kill you!"
The faces of the other people in the team changed, and they hurriedly said: "Captain, you can't show mercy! This kid has an unknown origin, and he wears a hat and a raincoat. He is so mysterious. How can we recruit him into the team? Wouldn't it ruin our big plan!"
The purple monk shook his head and secretly sent a telepathic message to his teammates. As expected, they quieted down, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. They stared at Ye Ling sarcastically, waiting for his choice.
Ye Ling saw all their expressions and guessed that these guys had bad intentions, especially the purple-robed captain who wanted to force him to join the team. He might have other purposes!
However, for the time being, Ye Ling wanted to hear what big things they were doing in this desolate place outside the Sky Fire Cave. He simply pretended to be polite and said with certainty: "Of course, it is more interesting to live. I choose the first option and apply to join the team! I wonder what you Taoist friends are going to do in this desolate place?"
"Hahaha! A man of insight is a hero. Welcome to join the team."
The purple-robed monk nodded with satisfaction, and the other teammates in the late stage of foundation building also reluctantly bowed to Ye Ling, with a very arrogant look on their faces.
The purple-robed monk did not ask Ye Ling's name, and continued, "Since we are teammates, I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, we intercepted a disciple of the Chixiao Immortal Sect who came here near the teleportation array you just came from. He has a high status in the immortal sect. According to him, he is a trusted disciple serving the immortal sect's ancestor, and he has a token to open the Tribulation Fire Array! So we brothers discussed and went into the Tribulation Fire Array to take a look. The Chixiao Immortal Sect disciple said that inside is the Chixiao Immortal Sect's forbidden place, the Sky Fire Cave, which has countless natural treasures and is worth a look! What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
