Chapter 135 Invitation

This is already the tenth day since he entered the Qingshan Mountains. During this period, he killed four second-level monsters, including the wild boar monster, and collected a lot of spiritual medicine. It was time to go out and sell the spiritual items.

After hearing Li Zhirui's promise, Daqing nodded with satisfaction.

Li Zhirui has become accustomed to Daqing's intelligence, which far exceeds that of spiritual beasts of the same level, and it facilitates their communication, but he still occasionally wonders what is the reason for this.

In the early morning of the next day, after a night of practice, Li Zhirui walked cautiously through the mountains and forests, not wanting to disturb any monsters.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he walked out of the mountains and entered a large city called Aoki.

This Qingmufang City belongs to the Wood Spirit Sect and is the second largest city under the Wood Spirit Sect. It covers a huge area and has a third-level spiritual vein and several low-level spiritual veins. The spiritual energy is several times richer than that of Darong Island!

And because it is close to the Qingshan Mountains, a large number of casual cultivators gather there, and its prosperity and liveliness are by no means comparable to that of Yunqingfang City.

Especially in Yunqingfang City, relatively rare foundation-building monks can be seen everywhere, and many of them are casual cultivators.

The first thing Li Zhirui did after entering the market was to sell the unused spiritual objects. The purchase prices of those shops were not low.

Mainly because the various stores in Qingmufang City are very competitive. If you lower the price, the monks still have a lot of choices.

This time he went into the mountains and Li Zhirui earned more than 2,000 spirit stones. His income was certainly not as much as what he earned from alchemy.

But in this process, it has great benefits in terms of combat consciousness, strength, and even refining mana.

And this is what Li Zhirui values ​​most!

Especially mana refining, which is related to whether the monk can form elixirs. If he wants to go further, naturally he cannot be negligent in this matter.

Then Li Zhirui rented a small courtyard for ten days and three hundred spiritual stones. The spiritual energy in the courtyard was comparable to the second-level spiritual veins, so the price was not too expensive.

The first thing I did after closing the courtyard door was to let Daqing and Xiaoqing out and let them play in the yard.

"It's been three months since I came out!" Li Zhirui murmured softly.

He originally thought that he would not miss Darong Island. After all, going out for training and not being entangled in family affairs was something he had always missed!

But he didn't expect that within half a month, he would start to miss things on the island and miss Li Shiqing, Li Shiren and other tribesmen.

Only now did Li Zhirui realize that his bond with his family and clansmen was already so strong.

——

In the past few days in Fangshi, Li Zhirui rarely went out. Either he was practicing, refining alchemy, or playing with Daqing and others, urging Xiaoqing to practice hard. This made him feel tense due to long-term experience. Much more relaxed.

Especially the evil spirit lingering around him has dissipated after this period of time.

But Li Zhirui was not in a hurry to go into the mountains immediately to practice, and was still doing these things leisurely.

Until a certain day.

"Knock knock——"

Li Zhirui, who was doing daily practice, opened his eyes instantly and asked, "Who is outside the door? What do you want to see me for?"

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I am Du Zhe, and I have something important to discuss with you." The middle-aged Ji Zhu outside the door said in a low voice.

Li Zhirui frowned. This Du Zhe was a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation building that he met by chance when he entered Qingshan half a month ago. The two of them also joined forces once or twice for missions.

But they were not familiar with each other. Because they were traveling and did not want to cause trouble to the family, he gave them a false name.

The so-called tasks are actually commissions issued by various forces in Qingmufang City, including seeking elixirs, seeking clues to monsters, etc. In short, they are all-encompassing. You can find any task in the mission hall.

There was something wrong with Du Zhe's sudden visit. And how did he know where he lived? Li Zhirui was secretly wary.

But people were coming to the door, and Li Zhirui couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he had to get up and open the door, "Fellow Taoist, please come in quickly."

"Huang Daoyou is really kind-hearted. With such big things happening in Fang City these days, he is still practicing in the cave so calmly." Du Zhe joked as soon as he came in.

Li Zhirui frowned slightly and explained, "I haven't gone out these days. I wonder what happened outside?"

"It is rumored that a golden elixir monk's cave has appeared in the mountains. According to the Taoist friend who escaped, there are many spiritual objects in it. It is very likely that the inheritance of that golden elixir exists." Du Zhe explained quickly.

"Jindan Cave?" Li Zhirui was not worried that he would deceive him on this matter. After all, he would know whether it was true or false after a little inquiry.

As for Du Zhe's purpose of looking for him, Li Zhirui also knew it. He just wanted to join forces with him to explore the Jindan Cave.

As for why you were looking for him? But it was because Du Zhe knew that he had a second-level spirit beast, so even if Li Zhirui himself was weak, with the addition of the spirit beast, it would be more powerful than the ordinary early stage of foundation building, not to mention that Li Zhirui himself was also very strong.

"Fellow Taoist, tell me about the situation in the cave in detail." Li Zhirui looked very interested.

But he became increasingly wary. Du Zhe had a wide range of friends, and it was impossible to find a monk who was more powerful than Li Zhirui.

Moreover, he never told anyone about the cave where he rested. How did Du Zhe know about it?

"The cave is close to the depths of the mountains, and nearby is the territory of a third-level bear demon. The monk who spread the news said that he was ambushed by fellow monks as soon as he entered the cave, and he luckily escaped..."

The main reason why that person wants to make it public is that he does not want the spiritual beings in the cave to be obtained by those foundation builders who tried to harm him.

And his goal was indeed achieved. Those people either died in the cave or at the hands of the monks.

After Du Zhe's introduction, Li Zhirui also learned more about this cave, but facing his eager and expectant eyes, Li Zhirui did not agree immediately.

"This matter is of great importance. Why don't you, fellow Taoist, go back first? Let me think about it alone."

A dark light flashed in Du Zhe's eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "Indeed, I will set off tomorrow. If you want to go, fellow Taoist, please reply to me earlier."

"Okay, thank you fellow Taoist for informing me."

After Li Zhirui got up to see Du Zhe off, he couldn't help but sneer. This man obviously came to him with a purpose.

Perhaps they thought that he was a casual cultivator and had little knowledge. As soon as the temptations of Jindan Cave and various spiritual creatures were mentioned, he would immediately agree to team up with them to explore the cave.

Not to mention whether they had any other purpose, if they found any precious spiritual objects while exploring the cave, would he have a share in it?

By then, let alone being assigned a spiritual object, it would be better not to be attacked by a group or die on the spot.

But if the Jindan Cave is real, Li Zhirui is still very interested.

Because Du Zhe's arrival disturbed his state of mind, he couldn't calm down for a while, so he simply pushed open the door and went out to inquire about the cave.

It doesn't matter if you don't inquire about it. Once you inquire about it, Li Zhirui always feels that the cave is full of weirdness.

According to the monk who escaped, there were many jade boxes containing spiritual objects outside the cave, and this has been confirmed. There were dozens of jade boxes in the storage bags of the fallen monks. All are second-level spiritual objects.

But there was no news from the inner circle. It was said that all the trespassers died on the spot.

However, this did not stop the fanatical cultivators. After all, there were so many spiritual beings in the periphery, let alone the inner periphery?

There are some casual cultivators who arrived late and did not get the spiritual objects. They were very unwilling and wanted to enter the inner circle.

After many tests, they discovered that there was a strange formation protecting the inner perimeter, but no matter how the casual cultivators attacked, they could not break it.

After learning more about it, Li Zhirui hesitated a little. Although there was no danger if he did not enter the range of the formation, so many casual cultivators were unable to break the formation. Could he just go there now?

Moreover, the location of the cave is deep in the Qingshan Mountains, which is the territory of third-level monsters. With his current cultivation level, he would have to take a lot of risks to set foot there.

But Li Zhirui had a feeling that if he didn't go this time, he would miss an extremely important opportunity.

This feeling was so strange that Li Zhirui did not dare to ignore it, because every whim of the monk must mean something.

"Let's go take a look tomorrow." After Li Zhirui made up his mind, he returned to the rental cave and started making preparations.

grumble!

Daqing slowly crawled over and expressed that he wanted to fight side by side with Li Zhirui.

"There will be a chance." Although he was worried that Daqing would be injured, when it came to a critical moment, he could only release Daqing.

Early the next morning.

Li Zhirui quietly left the cave and sped towards the direction of the cave.

At Chen time, at the east gate of Fang City, Du Zhe led several foundation-building monks to stand aside. Seeing that Du Zhe was still looking forward to it, one of them couldn't help but persuade him:

"Brother Dao Du, it seems that the Daoist Huang you mentioned will not come. Let's leave quickly. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the cave before dark."

Du Zhe waited for a while unwillingly, and finally left Fangshi with a depressed look on his face after being persuaded by several monks.

At this time, Li Zhirui had entered the Qingshan Mountains and was walking on the path opened by the foundation-building monks in these days.

Because of the emergence of the Jindan Cave, monks often pass by this path. The monsters nearby are killed or run away. The road ahead is still very safe.

But once you get deeper into the mountains, the role of this road is lost, because no one can drive away the third-level monsters.

Li Zhirui's speed also dropped a lot in an instant, and he used the Cicada Breathing Technique to the extreme to avoid attracting the attention of the monster.

Nothing happened in the end, and he successfully entered the outer area of ​​the cave.

And here, there are dozens of foundation-building monks gathered here. Among these people, monks like Li Zhirui who are in the early stage of foundation-building are only a few.

His arrival did not attract many people's attention. He moved quietly and sat down in a corner.

He didn't rush to do it, but planned to see how others did it first.

It's a pity that there are very few casual cultivators who know the formation. They can only use magic to violently break it.

At this moment, a group of six foundation builders arrived, causing quite a stir.

Li Zhirui also looked up and found that the leader was actually Du Zhe, and his cultivation was not the early stage of foundation building as he knew, but the late stage of foundation building!

Fortunately, he didn't agree to come with him, otherwise he would not be his opponent if he really took action. Li Zhirui thought to himself.

And because Li Zhirui had known that Du Zhe would come, he changed his appearance to be completely different from when they met, so he didn't worry about being recognized.

Thank you for your support (*￣3￣)╭
