Chapter 157 Ancient Cave Mansion
Whether it's formations, casting, or alchemy, they all go the same way as martial arts practice, and the divisions of each level are clearly distinct.
In terms of the art of alchemy, a fourth-level alchemy master, in addition to reaching the fourth-level level in alchemy attainments, must also reach the level of god refining in order to be able to refine fourth-level elixirs.
This is common sense, but it is not impossible to break.
Just like martial arts cultivators at lower realms can cross realms and kill martial arts cultivators at higher realms, if the alchemist's cultivation level is not enough, he can use other means to refine higher-level elixirs.
Among them, alchemy is the most important factor, just like martial arts for warriors.
Low-level martial arts cultivators who practice high-level martial arts can leapfrog and defeat high-level martial arts cultivators who practice low-level martial arts. In other words, alchemists who master advanced alchemy techniques can still refine high-level alchemy pills even if their own true energy cultivation is insufficient. Level of elixir.
Luo Xiu is a special case.
In terms of martial arts, he integrated the original life and death beads, practiced the wheels of life and death, and understood the nine original law diagrams. In the realm of god refining, he relied on many tricks and trump cards, and his current strength is almost comparable to that of ordinary martial king-level experts.
In the way of alchemy, he has the experience and memory of a ninth-level emperor-level alchemy master, and he has mastered the ancient alchemy technique that was lost in the world. He can completely transcend the limits of common sense and refine fifth-grade elixirs with his god-refining cultivation. medicine.
However, there are no restrictions on things like leapfrogging. A martial arts master in the realm of refining gods may be able to compete with King Wu, but no matter how powerful he is, it is absolutely impossible to compete with a strong man at Wujun level, because of this The gap between them is too big, beyond the limit.
Therefore, with Luo Xiu's current ability, he is actually unable to refine sixth-grade elixirs.
As for the so-called mysterious master behind him, it is just a fiction.
However, Luo Xiu does not think that the fifth-grade elixir is his limit. If he can obtain a kind of heaven and earth fire spirit, and rely on the ancient alchemy skills he has mastered, he can refine the sixth-grade Yin and Yang Soul Pill with great confidence!
That's why he asked Qiu Luoshui for payment in advance, which was the news about Huo Ling.
"What if you got the Fire Spirit but didn't give me the Yin Yang Soul Pill?" Qiu Luoshui frowned slightly.
"You can only choose to believe me." Luo Xiu smiled and spread his hands.
The Yin Ling Spring Water is in his hand, and he has absolute dominance. Unless the other party does not want the Yin Yang Soul Pill, he can only choose to agree to his request.
…
There is still some time before the Xuanyou Secret Realm is closed. The next opening will have to wait until thirty years later, and only those who are not more than thirty years old can enter.
A person only has one chance to enter the mysterious realm once in his life. Luo Xiu naturally does not want to miss this opportunity and must use the limited time to find more resources and treasures.
More than two months have passed. Most of the more than 130 God-Refining Martial Sects who entered the secret realm have been destroyed. Among them, those who died in Luo Xiu’s hands alone, including the Zifu Palace and the Fan family royal family combined, have lost their lives. More than a dozen people.
In addition to some who were killed by other martial arts cultivators, many others broke into dangerous places while searching for chance treasures.
Those places with strong Yin energy are more likely to produce treasures, and there will also be more dangers, such as ancient formation restrictions, or powerful ghosts and corpses, many of which are comparable to the Martial King level.
In an open and desolate land, Luo Xiu saw several disciples of the Xuanyang Sect. Among them was a young man named Yuan Hong, who had tried to win him over on behalf of the Xuanyang Sect.
Yuan Hong and others all had some injuries on their bodies, as if they had just experienced a fight.
"Brother Luo, are you going to Xuanyou Cave too?" Yuan Hong asked.
"Xuanyou Cave?" Luo Xiu looked confused and glanced at Bi Qianxue and Qiu Luoshui beside him. Both of them shook their heads to express that they were not sure.
Seeing Luo Xiu's expression, Yuan Hong knew that he did not know the existence of Xuanyou Cave.
"Xuanyou Cave is not a big secret. The Fan family royal family of Tianwu Kingdom, our Xuanyang Sect, Zifu Palace, and Changhe Gate all know the existence of this ancient cave." Yuan Hong explained.
Although Bi Qianxue was considered a member of the Fan family royal family before, she was not told about Xuanyou Cave due to her status, and Qiu Luoshui had not heard Tao Zuojun and others mention it.
Obviously, even if this ancient cave is not a big secret, it is definitely the core secret of the four major forces.
This made Luo Xiu look at Yuan Hong with some confusion. Why would the other party tell him such a confidential matter?
Seeing Luo Xiu's questioning eyes, Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Even if I don't tell Brother Luo, as long as you continue walking forward, you can still see where the ancient cave is."
"Since there is an ancient cave, why don't you go in?" Luo Xiu asked.
"There is a formation in front of the entrance of the cave. We can't get through it. Only a handful of people have gone in." Yuan Hong said.
"Oh? Are there any good things in the cave?" Luo Xiu asked again.
Since someone has gone in, Luo Xiu believes that he should be able to go in too. After all, among the people who have entered the secret realm, no one can match him in terms of strength.
What he is more concerned about is what treasures are in the cave.
Regarding this issue, Yuan Hong shook his head, "I only know about the Xuanyou Cave, and I don't know much about other things. I heard from a senior fellow who came here thirty years ago that someone once found a ground floor there. A top-notch soldier."
"High-ranking Earth Rank?" Luo Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In the Tianwu Kingdom, only a few powerful warriors at the level of Lord Wu possess earth-level high-grade warriors.
Long Ming sneered at this and said disdainfully: "There will be no warriors of your era in the mysterious mysterious realm of Taixuan Sect. Someone must have obtained the magic weapon from it and mistakenly thought it was an earth-level warrior."
In ancient times, there was no such thing as a warrior, and there was no art of forging, but the art of refining treasures.
In today's world, the art of treasure refining has lost its inheritance, and even if it exists, it has some incomplete content. Later generations of people evolved the art of casting from it, which can be regarded as a branch of the art of treasure refining.
The treasures, magical weapons, and spiritual weapons refined through the art of refining treasures have all kinds of magical and incredible abilities, and their mysteries are far beyond those of combat weapons.
After a while, Luo Xiu took Bi Qianxue and Qiu Luoshui to the so-called ancient Xuanyou Cave.
According to Long Ming, the Xuanyou Secret Realm was a training place for disciples of the Taixuan Sect in ancient times. The various treasures, dangerous places, ghosts, corpses, and caves placed in it were all for the purpose of tempering.
The cave is located in a valley with an open space. There is a formation light curtain flickering at the entrance of a stone cave, and a dozen martial arts cultivators are gathered nearby.
Except for a few who are scattered in other places and those who entered the cave, these are the only martial arts cultivators who are still alive today.
The younger generation of masters from all the forces were seriously injured this time. Luo Xiu estimated that when the teleportation time comes, there will be no more than fifty people alive among the more than 130 people.
Here, Luo Xiu once again sensed the majestic and vast extremely yin energy, just like the black yin energy that later erupted in the basin where a large number of yin stones appeared.
Yin dragon vein!
Luo Xiu looked at his feet. It was obvious that this ancient cave was on top of the Yin Dragon Vein.
The entire secret realm is a super-large formation based on the Yin Dragon Vein. The level of the formation exceeds level nine. Even a strong man in the Martial Emperor realm cannot force his way in with his strength.
Moreover, this Yin Dragon Vein has existed for endless years, and the terrifying power it contains is terrifying even just thinking about it.
Luo Xiu took a deep breath. Although the Yin Dragon Veins made people feel scary, as the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. In this ancient cave, he had to try anything.
There were more than a dozen martial arts cultivators in front of the cave. From time to time, some would come forward to try to see if they could enter. But as soon as they walked past, they would be unable to move forward, and they would all retreat with pale faces.
"Is it a soul attack? Their sea of consciousness seems to have been impacted, and their spiritual consciousness is greatly consumed." Qiu Luoshui said.
Luo Xiu nodded. The formation in front of this cave did have the effect of soul attack. Even in ancient times, formations capable of soul attack were extremely rare.
"Let me try." Luo Xiu walked over, and there happened to be two people trying to pass through the formation light curtain.
These two people were martial arts cultivators from the Changhe Sect, both of whom were in the late stages of god-refining. As soon as they reached the formation light screen, they could no longer move forward and stepped back with pale faces.
At this moment, Luo Xiu walked forward, and a cold breath rushed towards him, impacting his sea of consciousness.
This cold aura that hits the sea of consciousness is roughly equivalent to a spiritual attack in the middle stage of God Refining. Generally, as long as you have the cultivation level in the middle stage of God Refining, you can withstand it.
Luo Xiu continued to walk forward. When he came close to the light screen of the formation, the impact of the cold breath on the sea of consciousness reached the level of the ninth level of God Refining from the middle stage of God Refining.
This level of soul attack is naturally nothing to Luo Xiu, who has the Martial King level consciousness, but without the cultivation of the ninth level of God Refining, he will definitely not be able to sustain it.
Obviously, the people who had entered this ancient cave before should all be at the ninth level of God Refining.
Even if you don't have the cultivation level of the ninth level of God Refining, you must at least have the power of divine consciousness at this level.
Among the dozen or so people present, almost all knew Luo Xiu. He was a guy who was strong enough to kill the ninth level of God Refining. No one was surprised that he could successfully walk to the front of the light screen of the formation without changing his expression. expression.
Just when everyone thought Luo Xiu was about to pass through the light curtain and enter the cave, they saw him suddenly turning around and walking back.
"Qianxue, come here." Luo Xiu shouted to Bi Qianxue who was not far away.
Bi Qianxue's cultivation level is at the sixth level of God Refining. She would not be able to enter this ancient cave by herself.
"You follow me in a moment, and I will help you resist the power of soul impact." Luo Xiu said.
"Yes." Bi Qianxue nodded obediently. She would not object to any decision Luo Xiu made.
Qiu Luoshui also came over and asked, "Can you take me in too?"
She also wanted to enter this ancient cave, but she also knew that she would not be able to enter with her own strength, so she hoped Luo Xiu could help.
"Sorry, the closer you are to the formation light curtain, the stronger the spiritual attack will be. I can only bring one person in at most." Luo Xiu said apologetically.
In fact, with his martial king-level consciousness, he could bring two people in, not because he was unwilling to help Qiu Luoshui, but because in addition to Bi Qianxue, he also had to bring Long Ming.
This shadowless dragon defied the will of heaven and regained a new life. The tyrannical cultivation in ancient times was long gone. With its current strength, it could not withstand the attack of the consciousness of the ninth level of refining the gods.
Bi Qianxue and Long Ming were considered his own, while Qiu Luoshui and himself only had a trading and cooperation relationship. Luo Xiu naturally knew how to choose.
Qiu Luoshui couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard that Luo Xiu couldn't take him in.
Bi Qianxue was very happy in her heart. She felt that when Luo Xiu brought her in instead of Qiu Luoshui, it was obvious that she had a higher status in his mind.
Naturally, Luo Xiu would not have thought of such a small thought in a woman. He smiled apologetically at Qiu Luoshui, and then walked towards the formation light screen.
