Chapter 38: Second Floor of the Cave

Deep in the dark forest, there was a faint sound of landslides and ground cracking, which surprised Ye Ling, who had just advanced to the fifth level of Qi training.

"Such a loud noise in the forest has been going on for two or three hours, and there is still no sign of stopping. What is this noise?"

Ye Ling's curiosity aroused and he rode the fire eagle and listened. Now that he was promoted to the fifth level of Qi training, his consciousness and senses were stronger than before, which gave him some confidence, so Ye Ling braved his courage and flew through the dark forest. , I want to go in and see what happens.

Along the way, Ye Ling found the bodies of many monsters, including many third-level monsters among them! Without exception, there were corpses lying on the ground, and there was not a single living creature for miles around.

While Ye Ling was frightened, he quickly thought in his mind: Who is so capable of sweeping through the third-level monsters in the Dark Forest? When you first entered the cave, Yun Cang Sect limited the cultivation level you could enter the cave to, and it could not exceed the eighth level of Qi training. Even a team of monks in the late stage of Qi training cannot destroy all the third-level monsters in the entire forest!

"There are only two people with such ability. One is Yu Taoist who is in the late stage of foundation building of Yun Cang Sect, and the other one is Elder Liu, the old monster of Jin Dan from Tian Dan Immortal Sect! Obviously it cannot be Taoist Yu, he was The seventh-level ice dragon was targeted, and he didn't have time to worry about it. He fled south with his sword light, and the dark forest is at the northernmost end of the cave. It seems that the one who killed these monsters must be Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect!"

Ye Ling made a judgment in his heart, and suddenly realized the reason why the third-level monsters were extinct. He secretly sighed that the strength of the old Jindan monster Elder Liu was really amazing! This is like an old monster with golden elixirs leading the way. Countless monsters were killed and wounded, and countless materials such as demon elixirs, beast souls, and monster furs were also left behind!

Now, although Ye Ling got spiritualism jade slips from Feng Kaiyu and could collect beast souls and souls, he was not tempted by the materials on the corpses of these monster beasts.

In comparison, where Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect went, the fortune must be greater than here! Ye Ling even guessed that the sound in the depths of the dark forest must be related to Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect. Could it be that he was digging for some heavenly material and earthly treasure?

Ye Ling thought of this, slapped the fire eagle, and flew straight into the depths of the dark forest unscrupulously, no longer needing to worry about any dangers on the way.

As the sound of landslides and ground cracking got closer and closer, Ye Ling looked over and was shocked by the scene in front of him!

It turns out that the northernmost point of the Dark Forest is the wall of the cave. At this moment, the cave wall was shaken by the sound of the mountain, and rocks rolled down one after another. At the same time, Ye Ling also saw the familiar figure of Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect in Tsing Yi. He was using a huge wood spirit hammer and a flying sword shining with golden light to dig. The wall of the cave!

"Haha! Ye Xiaotu, you can actually come here first, it's not easy, I didn't make a mistake!"

Liu Juntang, the elder of the Immortal Sect, an old man in green, suddenly turned around and smiled approvingly at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling was shocked. He quickly jumped down from the fire eagle and bowed, using the wind control technique to fly over. He secretly admired in his heart: Elder Jin Dan's spiritual consciousness range is really far! Immortal Sect Elder Liu can sense his presence from such a long distance.

Suddenly, Elder Liu seemed to have noticed something. He stopped using the Wood Spirit Hammer and the Flying Sword. His eyes flashed slightly, and he said with surprise and surprise: "Huh? Aren't you at the fourth level of Qi training? Why? I haven’t seen you for an hour, but my cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training!”

Ye Ling finally ran up to Elder Liu, bowed and saluted again, and said calmly: "Reporting to the elders of the Immortal Sect, this disciple is following everyone in a cold mountain. There is a wish-fulfilling tree on the other side of the deep pool. There are three Ruyi Ice Spirit Fruits. The disciple was lucky enough to pick them, and after eating them all, his cultivation level improved greatly!"

What Ye Ling said was basically true, but there were some things that he couldn't tell Elder Liu truthfully. Because he was afraid that Elder Liu would try to seize the treasure when he learned that he still had a Ruyi Ice Spirit Fruit.

However, looking at Elder Liu's appearance, he seemed to be very surprised and asked curiously: "Wishful Precious Tree? What kind of spiritual tree is this? I have never heard of it in my life."

Ye Ling hurriedly explained: "It is the Ten Thousand Years Ruyi Grass, which grows into the size of an ancient tree. It is called the Ruyi Treasure Tree by the monks who come in to explore and search for treasures."

Elder Liu of the Immortal Sect was slightly startled, twisting his beard and smiling: "Oh, that's it! This third-level Ruyi grass must have grown in a cold place, and after thousands of years, it can produce ice-attributed spiritual fruits. . Your boy is very blessed! Ahem, if you take advantage of the outstanding Qi cultivation level of Ice Spirit Root, three Ice Spirit Fruits will be enough to upgrade your cultivation level to the late stage of Qi cultivation!"

Ye Ling could only smile bitterly. Listening to Elder Liu's words, he seemed to have infinite regret, as if he had eaten the Ice Spirit Fruit with his ordinary all-spiritual talent. It was a waste of natural resources and wasted such a good fruit!

"Reporting to the elder, the Wannian Ruyi Grass is still on the other side of the deep pool in the icy mountains. There is always a seventh-level ice dragon stationed there. The junior also took advantage of the ice dragon to chase Yu Daoist of the Yun Cang Sect, and then had the opportunity to get close. As for the top-quality wish-fulfilling grass like an ancient tree, no one can move it away. I think only the elders can have a chance to uproot the wish-fulfilling tree!"

Ye Ling revealed the news to him. As expected, Elder Liu was very happy: "Okay! Since there is a seventh-level ice dragon guarding me, I can rest assured. Sooner or later, everything will be mine!"

"Yes! The Ruyi Treasure Tree belongs to the elder after all. It is enough for the junior to take the Ice Spirit Fruit and advance to the fifth level of Qi training!"

Ye Ling has already obtained the branches and leaves of the wish-fulfilling grass and successfully planted them in the spiritual field of Xingxing Cliff in the Immortal Mansion. Of course, he will not try to make a wish-fulfilling tree anymore, and is happy to go along with the flow and do favors.

The elder Liu of Xianmen was very satisfied with his cleverness and wit, nodded and smiled: "Haha, with my cultivation, I don't need the Ten Thousand Years Ruyi Grass. I am thinking about the three generations of disciples of Xianmen. For them, this Ten Thousand Years Ruyi Grass is very important! You have done a great service for Xianmen. After I collect the Ten Thousand Years Ruyi Grass, I will reward you separately!"

Seeing the importance of what Elder Liu said, Ye Ling nodded as if he understood.

Liu Juntang, the Jindan elder of Tiandan Xianmen, was afraid that his juniors would think that he was greedy and wanted to take the treasure tree for himself. So he said with a righteous face:

"You don't know yet, little disciple? Ruyi grass is a rare third-level spiritual herb, and is the main medicinal material for refining Ruyi Zhuan Shen Dan! Adding Curly Leaf Polygonatum and the common medicinal material honeysuckle, you can refine the best elixir that can be used by Qigong cultivators, Ruyi Zhuan Shen Dan. It is a hundred times more effective than the third-level Huan Shen Dan, and is the best for improving the cultivation of Qigong cultivators. Even in terms of the richness of spiritual energy, it is comparable to the Qingling Dan used by cultivators in the early stage of foundation building! I hold this tree to go back and refine a large number of top-quality Ruyi Zhuan Shen Dan for the younger generation of the Xianmen, to help them break through the bottleneck and improve their cultivation!"

Ye Ling nodded repeatedly and responded: "Elder Liu is wholeheartedly thinking about the disciples of the Xianmen, and his contribution is great! I admire you very much!"

Facing the powerful Jindan old monster, Ye Ling must maintain due respect on the surface, even if he says something more corny. With this big tree backing him up, why should he fear the old villain Zhou Chong who is in the early stage of foundation building!

As expected, flattery never wears out. Elder Liu was all smiles, and he was very caring towards Ye Ling, saying, "Once the matter here is settled, you come with me to get the Wannian Ruyi Grass! You should stay away, and be careful not to be hit by rocks."

As he spoke, Elder Liu continued to dig the wall of the cave.

Ye Ling was puzzled and asked, "Elder Liu, why do you want to dig the stone wall of the cave? Is there a valuable spiritual ore inside?"

"No! A mere spiritual ore is not enough to attract this elder! This elder has used his spiritual sense to explore, and there seems to be a cave behind this cave wall! The spiritual energy inside is much richer than here! It's a pity that the cave wall is hard and thick. With the strength of this elder in the middle stage of the golden elixir, it is difficult to open seven or eight out of ten."

Ye Ling's eyes lit up and said happily, "Oh? It turns out that there is another layer of cave inside!"

"Well! This elder wants to see how many monsters and spiritual objects there are in this layer of cave, and whether it is worth reporting to the ancestors of the immortal gate."

Ye Ling completely understood, and he was also looking forward to the opening of the second layer of the cave. He helped from a distance and was responsible for carrying stones.

The immortal gate elder Liu Juntang admired Ye Ling's character very much, to the extent that it could not be surpassed. Liu Juntang also intended to accept Ye Ling as a registered disciple, or to take Ye Ling with him as a medicine boy, but because of his poor spiritual root aptitude, even if a lot of immortal cultivation resources were spent, it would be difficult to train him into a second-generation disciple in the foundation-building period.

Moreover, once Elder Liu brought Ye Ling back to Tiandan Xianmen and announced that he would be accepted as a registered disciple or a medicine boy, the other Jindan elders would laugh at him! With such concerns, Liu Juntang was really helpless and could only give Ye Ling a chance after this trip.

Ye Ling didn't know what Elder Liu was thinking, and he was still conscientiously carrying stones to help the elder. In his mind, as long as he did even a little thing for the elder, it would be very beneficial to his future.

Dong! Dong!

The eighth-level giant wooden spirit hammer of the immortal gate elder Liu Juntang bombarded the cave wall, loosening the hard spiritual mine rock, and then cut it with a sharp and solid golden spirit sword.

Just like that, after half an hour, Elder Liu dispersed the powerful consciousness of the middle Jindan period to check, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He specially blessed Ye Ling with a thick wood armor light shield, and shouted: "The wall leading to the second floor of the cave is less than two feet thick. Stand firm and watch the magic power of this elder! Giant tree curse, broken!"

Boom!

With a loud noise that shook the sky, the giant tree condensed by the spiritual energy of the immortal elder Liu Juntang burst through the stone wall!

The ice spiritual energy of the second floor of the cave instantly rushed to the entrance of the cave! The rolled up strong wind was like an ice knife and wind blade, which instantly broke the several-foot-sized cave entrance into a large hole of tens of feet, making the entire dark forest sway with the wind and snow, and covered with a layer of ice and snow!

If it weren't for the Jindan old monster Elder Liu blessing Ye Ling with the wood spirit to protect his body, he would have been cut into pieces by the ice knife wind blade that whistled in this strong wind.
