Mortal bone

this night.

Inside the stone building of Qiyuexuan.

"Sister Lingyue, how did you find out that this immortal gourd cave is the fragments of the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons that you mentioned?"

Xu Taiping, who held back for a long time, finally couldn't help asking Fairy Lingyue.

"I was lucky enough to get several maps of the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons back then, and one of them was almost identical to your map in terms of terrain, especially the Jade Gourd Peak."

"It is rumored that the jade gourd peak is an artifact of a certain ancient monk who fell on the battlefield. The spiritual spring you are talking about is the residual spiritual power of that artifact."

"It is precisely because of this that I am sure that this is the remains of the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons."

Fairy Lingyue introduced to Xu Taiping.

"What's the history of this ancient battlefield of immortals and demons?"

How could he not be curious about a damaged artifact from ancient times, which still has residual spiritual power flowing out.

"If you really want to go back, that battle may have been a million years ago. According to legend, Jiuyuan was extremely prosperous at that time, and even the existence of the Demon Lord can only be regarded as Xiao Luoluo."

"It took tens of thousands of years for the human monks to come up with a plan to trap the most powerful demon gods in a world, and then the nine most powerful human monks at that time, at the cost of self-destruction, fought with those demon gods." Several demon gods died together, and finally the whole world was smashed to pieces."

"The nine largest fragments were collected by the Emperor Yan Emperor later and refined into nine secret caves. One is to commemorate the nine great monks, and the other is to inspire the younger generation of human monks to practice. .”

"And for the demons, these nine fragments are their greatest shame."

"So in the following several battles between immortals and demons, they tried every means to take away and destroy these nine fragments."

"When it was passed down to my time, only two of the nine fragments remained, and the seven fragments including your Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven are all missing."

Fairy Lingyue said with a look of regret.

"This fairy gourd cave has such a past."

After hearing Fairy Lingyue's narration, Xu Taiping's heart was shaken, he never thought that in the long river of time, human monks still have such a tragic past.

Originally, he had little interest in the fairy gourd secret realm, but suddenly became very interested.

I just feel that even if he is not looking for treasures in the secret realm, it is worthwhile for him to go there if he just admires the feats of the ancient human monks.

"However, this map is somewhat different from what I remember, and this fragment actually has two layers, and this map only marks the uppermost layer, which is also the least important layer."

The spirit body of Fairy Lingyue stared at the map and pondered.

"Could it be that layman Yuqing deliberately concealed the fact that there is another layer underneath?"

Xu Taiping speculated.

"impossible."

Fairy Lingyue smiled and shook her head.

"Why is it impossible?"

Seeing Fairy Lingyue was so sure, Xu Taiping suddenly became curious.

"If he really knew and explored that layer, and has occupied this cave by himself for so many years, his cultivation has already broken through the Transformation Realm, and he has gone to several other worlds."

Fairy Lingyue said with certainty.

"Sister Lingyue, are you saying that the treasures hidden in the lower layer of the Immortal Gourd Secret Realm are enough for monks to break through to the Transformation Realm?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"It's not a treasure, it's just that there is a big lake formed by the blood of immortals and demons in the lower layer. If the big lake hasn't dried up, soaking in the lake can make your cultivation grow faster."

Lingyue shook her head and said.

Xu Taiping was stunned upon hearing this.

"But Taiping, even if you find the lower layer of the secret realm, don't go into the blood pool. The magic lotus in your body likes this thing the most."

Fairy Lingyue immediately reminded Xu Taiping again.

"Understood." Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.

"However, beside the blood pool, there is a kind of spiritual grass called jade bone. It is said that it was transformed from the bone marrow of the monk who died in it. If you need spiritual objects, there is only a pot of spiritual marrow liquid left."

"And this spiritual marrow liquid originally required a large amount of spiritual stones to refine, but in the divine artifact that turned into the Jade Gourd Peak in the Immortal Gourd Cave, it is not surprising that there will be a more pure spiritual marrow liquid."

"So now it seems that you have to go on this trip to the Immortal Gourd Cave in three years' time."

Fairy Lingyue said with a serious expression.

Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.

The magic lotus in his body is undoubtedly his biggest hidden danger now, and it must be best to pull it out quickly.

"Besides, I just took a look at it. If the records in this list are correct, you should be able to collect all the medicinal materials needed to refine Suihuo Pill."

Fairy Lingyue said again.

Suihuo Pill is the elixir that Xu Taiping, as a mortal, must use when he wants to break through the Xuantong Realm.

"There is also grass for dan."

Xu Taiping nodded and added something.

He also discovered just now that this list also contains several precious medicinal materials needed to refine Cao Huan Dan.

"Although your second senior brother said that the Immortal Gourd Cave is not very dangerous, according to my understanding of the fragments of the Immortal Demon Battlefield, there are several dangerous monsters in both the upper and lower levels."

"You haven't noticed it for so many years, I guess they should all be sleeping."

"But even so, you still have to be fully prepared."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again.

"For the next three years, I will try my best not to retreat, to digest the previous gains in the ruins of Yunmengze Immortal Mansion."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously.

Because he has been dealing with sword ghosts, he has only read through it a few times, whether it is the body method "The End of the World" or the set of "Green Ox Great Sacred Fist", and has not really started to practice.

So in the next three years, he wanted to concentrate on practicing these exercises without distractions.

……

Time flies by in Xianfu

Three years passed in a blink of an eye.

The seventh peak is Laoyuetan.

Just like every morning in the past three years, Xu Taiping put on the mountain-restraining iron bracelet he got from Moxiu, and jumped up from the foot of the mountain step by step.

Compared with three years ago, he, who was carrying seven or eight thousand catties of mountain iron, was still extremely light on his feet.

At the same time, his figure is much taller and stronger than that of three years ago.

As usual.

When Xu Taiping came to the water pool, he first took a look at the plank from the cliff.

"Huh? There's not a single word today."

To his surprise, Layman Sansan did not write on the wooden board today.

This is the first time since he practiced sword.

"Maybe I forgot?"

As Xu Taiping thought about it, he put the blank board aside.

"Zheng!"

I saw him close his fingers together, and with a slight lift, the long sword stuck on the cliff flew towards him like a ray of light.

This rusty long sword, because of the non-stop daily practice with Xu Taiping, has now become radiant, and it is no longer the damaged appearance it was three years ago.

"San San Layman's request yesterday was five thousand words with one sword, so I will try six thousand words with one sword today?"

Xu Taiping glanced at the blank board, and then made a decision.

After thinking up to this point, he took a deep breath, and then raised his sword.

"Zheng!——"

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of sword cries, streams of sword light converged into a waterfall, washing down from the sky above the cliff from top to bottom.

In an instant, the entire cliff was engraved with vigorous and powerful seal characters.

This is the result of Xu Taiping's non-stop training for three years.

"Since Layman Sansan didn't ask for anything else, shall we see you tomorrow?"

Xu Taiping glanced at the long sword that flew back to him.

Immediately, the long sword made a trembling sound, as if a little bit reluctant.

In the past, even after finishing writing, Xu Taiping would still wait some time before going down the mountain, but today he still has to prepare the things he needs to go to the Immortal Gourd Cave tomorrow, so he has to go back earlier.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

But just as Xu Taiping thrust the long sword back into the cliff and turned to leave, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky, piercing the big rock in the center of the pool like a sharp sword.

"San San... Layman?!"

Xu Taiping was stunned.

He has practiced swordsmanship for more than three years, and this is Sansan Layman, the first time he has appeared in front of him.
