Chapter 123 Main Quest—Level [-]!

Qin Chuan opened the information interface and checked the task bar in detail.

Sure enough, at this time, in addition to the tasks of "Inheritance of Artifact Refining" and "Inheritance of Talismans" that have been accumulated for a long time and have not been completed, a new task has been added:
Main task: raise the sect level to level four
Task requirements: Send at least five disciples to explore the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, and obtain at least four treasures from the cave. The time limit is 30 days.If the number of treasures obtained is insufficient, or the time limit is exceeded, or the disciple of the disciple dies, the mission will fail.

Under the mission requirements, a small map was also displayed, clearly marking the location of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.

After reading the information, Qin Chuan felt quite complicated in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

In the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, powerful formations and restraints can be seen everywhere, and there are many ferocious monsters.If you don't have a detailed map at hand, you will definitely die if you go into the cave to complete the task of upgrading the sect to the fourth level.

From this point of view, the task rewards given when destroying Hui Jianmen are really generous!Because, this is giving the Yuhuamen a life!
Holding the detailed map, Qin Chuan's hands couldn't help trembling slightly.He has always thought that the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilong Cave is very precious, but it is only today that he has deeply realized the true value of this map!
Even with the detailed maps in hand, however, the expedition will not be easy.Because, the vitality provided to oneself in the picture is fleeting.If you grasp it well, you can naturally harvest a large number of treasures; but if you fail to grasp it, the future of the sect and your own future will be buried in the cave.

Qin Chuan exhaled lightly, and spread out the detailed map of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave on the table.

Inside the cave, the monsters are powerful, and the formation is astonishingly powerful.After encountering, although it is not inevitable to die, there is only a glimmer of life.If you can't grasp it, you may die on the spot at any time.And according to the requirements of the mission, at least five people must go in.

Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious.

As for the candidates to enter the cave, there is basically no need to think about it.Liu Guanyu, Chen Hao, Su Qianxue, Cao Xiaolan, the four strongest members of Yuhuamen, will go out together this time, follow him into the cave, and fight for the future of Yuhuamen!

"Come here! Hurry up and invite the four elders to discuss matters in the main hall of the sect!" After careful consideration, Qin Chuan has already made preliminary plans.

From now on, the four elders must temporarily put down all the work at hand, and use all their energy to familiarize themselves with the various arrangements inside the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.

As for myself, I need to go to the location of Jiuqu Huilong Cave, check it out on the spot, understand the situation, and then consider the next step.

In addition, thanks to the assistance of Feng Lingniao, Qin Chuan already knew the terrain of the mountains and rivers in the southwestern part of the Kunxu Mountains like the palm of his hand.After looking at the location of Jiuqu Huilong Cave provided by the head system, he immediately discovered that the cave is very close to the location of Feiyunmen, a big local sect.

The Feiyun Sect here is the sect second only to the Changhe Sword Sect and the Xiantian Sect.There are many upper-level masters in the Qi training period in the sect, and their strength is far beyond what the Yuhua sect can compete with at this time.

As a result, Feiyunmen became a potential hidden danger.

It is necessary to do a thorough investigation to find a proper route into the cave, obtain the treasures and complete the mission without alarming the Feiyunmen.If they get wind of it and covet it, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble.

While Qin Chuan was concentrating on his thoughts, four elders had already walked in one after another.Although they had just left the meeting, since the head had summoned them, they didn't dare to delay, and rushed back immediately.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what do you want to tell us about summoning us?" Among the four elders, Liu Guanyu was the most senior, so he also asked at this time.

Qin Chuan pointed to the detailed picture on the table and said to them: "The cave painted on this picture is called Jiuqu Huilong Cave. It is full of dangers, but it also contains rich treasures. Moreover, those treasures are of great importance to This sect is very important. In the past few days, all the juniors and sisters put aside the work at hand and study this detailed map with all their strength. Wait for my news at any time, and go to explore the secret cave."

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless legends about ancient relics and fairy caves.At this time, everyone heard Qin Chuan say that there is a secret cave containing treasures, and they were all very interested, and they went to look at the map carefully.

The Jiuqu Huilong Cave on the drawings has a very unique structure.On the outermost periphery are nine entrances of the same shape and size, each of which is connected to a long cave.

These nine caves meander and circle, both interlaced and forked.The route is very intricate.If you are not familiar with the terrain and enter it, it is very easy to get lost.

Qin Chuan has seen this picture countless times, and he knows it well, so there is no need to look at it now.He stretched out his finger, pointed to one of the nine caves, and said to everyone: "The Zhiyang black iron in this cave is one of the items we must get during this trip. Everyone must be familiar with the cave. There must be no negligence in the changes of the formation."

Zhiyang Xuantie was an agreement Qin Chuan had made with Qiu Chengfeng long ago.Obtaining this treasure will not only complete the task of "Inheritance of Artifact Refining", but also attract a master whose strength has reached at least the level of Dzogchen during the Qi training period for the sect, which cannot be missed anyway.

In addition to the cave where Zhiyang Xuantie was located, Qin Chuan selected three routes with the least obstacles from the other eight routes for everyone to memorize carefully.

After all, this matter involves the main task of the sect's promotion to the fourth level, so we should not be greedy blindly, but focus on stability.

As for the remaining five routes, let the four elders have a general understanding.The mission requirements are limited and must be completed within 30 days.Therefore, the sooner they make an appointment, there is not much time for them to fully remember the situation in each cave.

Anyway, Qin Chuan felt that even if there was an emergency, he couldn't follow the four established routes, and his own understanding of the detailed map must be enough to deal with it.

After explaining the details of the map, Qin Chuan walked out of the main hall, rode on the soaring crane, and drove away towards the north wind.

There are hidden dangers both inside and outside the cave, so we must carefully survey the situation and make preparations in advance.

The soaring crane flapped its wings, swift as the wind, and carried Qin Chuan galloping high in the sky.With the map given by the head system as the basis, Qin Chuan had a clear goal. After a while, he finally locked the approximate location of Jiuqu Huilong Cave from the cloud-shrouded mountains.

It turned out that the cave was located under a very deep cliff, covered by layers of thick clouds and lush jungles, and it was almost impossible for people to discover it if there was no special reason.

Qin Chuan unfolded his spiritual sense and guarded the surroundings, and at the same time ordered the sky-crashing spirit crane to slowly fall down the cliff.

After reaching the bottom of the cliff safely, Qin Chuan cast wood-type spells to control the vegetation to open a way for him, and at the same time cheered up and explored around.

After about a stick of incense, he suddenly trembled and stopped in his tracks.Because, there was a scene very similar to the one drawn on the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilong Cave!
On the majestic mountain opposite, weeds are overgrown and vines are entangled.And under the cover of weeds and vines, there are nine dark caves faintly revealed.

The nine caves are very similar in shape and size, and I am afraid that they were not formed naturally, but were excavated artificially.I don't know if it is a cave left by a senior expert.

These caves should be Jiuqu Huilong Cave!Although it was pitch black inside the cave, what was hidden inside was the bright future of Yuhuamen!

Although through the detailed drawings, Qin Chuan already has a good understanding of the structure in the cave.But the map is just a map after all, it's better for you to go a little deeper and understand the situation on the ground.

While thinking this way, Qin Chuan slowly approached one of the caves, ready to take a good look at the situation inside.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, Qin Chuan's complexion suddenly changed, and he quickly held his breath and hid in the nearby bushes.

He is cautious by nature. Although he has not encountered any unexpected situations along the way, he still covers his surroundings with spiritual consciousness and pays close attention to the movement.

At this time, he suddenly hid, because his spiritual sense realized that there was someone in Jiuqu Huilong Cave!
Hiding in the bushes, Qin Chuan was greatly surprised.

As soon as I received the news of Jiuqu's return to the Dragon Cave from the head system, I rushed here almost immediately.I thought that no one else would know the secret of the cave, so how come there are people in the cave?

Who would be in there?Is it the owner of Jiuqu Huilong Cave?Or someone else who also knows the secret of the cave?

While I was secretly guessing, I saw that in the cave on the far left, there was a sudden noise of wind, and then three people rushed out in the air and landed not far from Qin Chuan's hiding place.

Seeing the clothes on these three people, Qin Chuan's face immediately changed - these three people are all disciples of Feiyun Sect!
Originally, they were still thinking about how to avoid alarming Feiyunmen, but unexpectedly, they had already entered the cave first!

Qin Chuan's heart couldn't help sinking.This main mission not only limits the time, but also limits the number of people who enter the cave and the number of treasures that can be obtained, and there must be no deaths. This is already strict enough.If it is added that Feiyunmen is stirring up outside, it may be even more difficult!
However, Qin Chuan has never been a person who shrinks back when encountering difficulties.Under this circumstance, it aroused his stronger fighting spirit.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub!The difficulties ahead are huge, but the treasures waiting for you in the cave are also extremely rich!What's more, there are various mission rewards after completing the main mission.

One word - worth it!
Two words - fight!
Nothing is unachievable.With a big weapon like the detailed map of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave in his hand, no matter how many sects come, Qin Chuan is confident that he can successfully deal with it and become the biggest winner!

Of course, having confidence is a good thing, but it should be low-key.At this time, Qin Chuan had already secretly investigated, and found that the three Feiyunmen disciples in front of him were all at the seventh level of the Qi training period.If I make a slight change, I'm afraid they will find out immediately!

The three Feiyunmen disciples all looked panicked at this moment, and they didn't notice anyone lurking beside them.One of the Taoist priests with a wound on his left shoulder spoke first, "That monster is so powerful! Its teeth are sharp and its claws are sharp, it spits out lightning, and it moves like thunder. If Brother Zhao's top-level magic weapon wasn't there to block it, I'm afraid we would They are all going to die in this hole!"

A red-robed Taoist next to him who had more than half of his hair cut off also said, "Although we escaped with our lives, Brother Zhao was swallowed alive by a monster. He is the master's beloved disciple, let's go back How should I explain it!"

The other Feiyunmen disciple was short and fat, he was the ugliest among the three, but his body was intact.At this moment, he said: "It's a blessing to be able to escape with your life. Even if you go back and be punished, it's better than being buried in the belly of a monster. Besides, if we escape with our lives, we can bring back important information to the sect. The pieces of Breitling in the cave You have all seen the medicine. And I believe that there must be better treasures in the depths of the cave. It’s just that the lightning monster is so tyrannical that it cannot be matched without an elder-level figure.”

"Senior Brother Fang is right. When the monster rushed out of the cave, I felt an unusually strong aura fluctuation. It must be the aura emanating from the treasure!"

Qin Chuan secretly listened to the conversation between the three of them, and immediately understood that this group of Feiyunmen disciples must have encountered a third-level monster in the cave—the Lightning Owl.

The strength of a third-level monster is basically equivalent to that of a human monk between the eighth level and the Great Perfection during the Qi training period.

And according to the records on the detailed map, although the Lightning Owl's cultivation is only equivalent to the Dzogchen level of human beings, but with his strong body and super fast speed, he can almost compete with the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

The strength of the few Feiyunmen disciples in front of him is not enough for him to get in between his teeth.It seems that they escaped their lives by abandoning that "Senior Brother Zhao" as cannon fodder regardless of their fellowship.

Although these people were not righteous, their guesses were correct.In the cave guarded by Lightning Xiao, not only the elixir is growing vigorously, but also there is indeed a hidden treasure called "Na Ling Ding".

However, although the treasure is good, the highest strength of Feiyunmen is only the ninth level of Qi training stage, so I am afraid it is not enough to get this treasure from the protection of Lightning Xiao.

While thinking this way, Qin Chuan's consciousness suddenly felt a strong pressure.With a shock in his heart, he knew that there was a master whose cultivation base far surpassed his own.He quickly retracted his consciousness and tried his best to restrain his breath.In order not to be noticed by the other party.

Sure enough, he saw an elderly monk with a high crown and long beard, holding a feather fan, about sixty years old floating down from midair, and landed in front of the three Feiyunmen disciples.

The three Feiyunmen disciples quickly fell to their knees and shouted: "Disciples see the master!"

It turned out that this old man was Cao Gongze, the head of Feiyun Sect!
Qin Chuan has been carefully searching for information on other sects for more than a year. Although today is the first time he has seen the head of Feiyun Sect, he already knows about Cao Gongze's information.

He is 64 years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training stage. He is one of the few masters in the southwest area of ​​Kunxu Mountains.The feather fan shaken in his hand is an extremely powerful top-level magic weapon - Xuanfeng Fan.It is said that the power can even compete with ordinary spirit weapons.

Even the Changhe Sword Sect and the Xiantian Sect, the two top sects that dominate this place, treat Cao Gongze with courtesy.

As soon as this guy arrived, the situation immediately became critical.With Qin Chuan's current cultivation base, once he is discovered, there is no chance to escape in front of him.

"Get up." Cao Gongze said to the three disciples expressionlessly, shaking his feather fan lightly.

The three disciples stood up, you looked at me, I looked at you, after hesitating for a while, the disciple with the wound on his left shoulder finally braved up and said: "Sect Master, after the four of us enter the cave... "

Unexpectedly, Cao Gongze didn't seem to want to hear what he had to say, so he immediately interrupted him with a wave of his feather fan: "Don't talk about this for now, you wait for the three of you to return to the sect quickly and wait for orders."

"Obey!" After the three disciples bowed to the headmaster, they took up the magic weapons one after another and flew away.

After the three disciples left, Cao Gongze suddenly turned around, stared at the bushes where Qin Chuan was hiding, and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist has been hiding here for half a day, should we show up and meet each other?"

When Qin Chuan heard this, he suddenly felt pain in his heart.I tried my best to hide it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Cao Gongze.A nine-level master in the Qi training period is really unfathomable.

Under the defense of such masters, if you want to escape, there is no possibility of success at all.Qin Chuan simply did not do this useless work, stood up calmly, and faced Cao Gongze.

"Master Cao, I'm being polite." Qin Chuan bowed his hands to Cao Gongze and said.

Cao Gongze saw at a glance that Qin Chuan's cultivation was only at the seventh level of the qi training stage, and his eyes showed disdain, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency is hiding here to spy on the secrets of this sect. Is this polite or rude?"

Qin Chuan put on an innocent look and said, "Master Cao misunderstood. I just passed by here accidentally, and I have no intention of peeping."

"Hmph, such a coincidence, it can be seen that your Excellency has a lot of fate with this sect. Why don't you follow me to Feiyun Sect and have a good talk!" Of course Cao Gongze would not believe Qin Chuan's words.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but sighed.

Of course Qin Chuan understood Cao Gongze's thoughts.The caves left by the ancestors often contain rich treasures.If the news leaks out, it will definitely arouse the covetousness of other sects.Cao Gongze obviously wanted to monopolize the treasure in Jiuqu Huilong Cave, and would never let him go.

If you can't deal with it well, I'm afraid you will die today.

"Master Cao, although I overheard a few conversations between noble disciples, I don't understand it at all. But I still want to assure you that after I leave, I will never mention a word about this place to others. What do you think? ?”

Cao Gongze waved his feather fan, and a ruthless look flashed across his face: "Stop talking nonsense! Follow me obediently, and you can live a few more days. If you persist in your obsession, you will be killed immediately!"

A determined look appeared on Qin Chuan's face, and he said, "Since Master Cao is determined to force you, then I have no choice but to be polite!"

Cao Gongze couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "You dare to shout in front of the old man in the seventh floor of the Qi training period! In front of the Xuanfeng Fan, you can't even leave your bones!"
