Chapter 81: Cave Rhinoceros Candle Illumination
Cave Rhinoceros Candle Illumination
"Senior Martial Brother Wang, those two have discovered us."
Before entering the city, everyone had already sensed something was wrong. A yellow-haired cultivator transmitted, "Should we retreat temporarily? Wait until they integrate into this place before making a move?"
"No need to be so careful, right?" Beside Senior Martial Brother Wang, a female cultivator interjected, "These two women are clearly fresh out of the nest. In a place like the Hengze Heaven, they are actually so reserved, letting the Ping brothers go, and even giving them a few spiritual jades. Acting like this, they must be from the Sheng Sect, with very little experience in training. We have six against four, the odds of winning should not be low."
If you want to speed up the integration into the Hengze Heaven, there is medicine to take. If you want to slow down the speed of integration into the Hengze Heaven, it is also simple, just try to slow down the absorption of local spiritual energy. Everyone was using spiritual energy from spiritual jades at this time, and the consumption was also very large. Senior Martial Brother Wang thought for a moment and said decisively, "Wealth is sought in danger, Junior Martial Sister Zhang, set up the formation."
Junior Martial Sister Zhang pouted, but still obediently took out the formation disk, distributed the formation flags to everyone, and said, "Old rules, eight-sided flags, be careful."
Everyone took the formation flags and also cast concealment techniques or magic tools to blur their auras. Their figures were only a trace of shadow, lurking in different directions outside the city. Because they hadn't integrated into the Hengze Heaven, they were like living in two different worlds from the shadow residents at this time. Even if they set up a formation, it would not have any impact on this city, but would only trap the cultivators belonging to the Langhuan Zhou Tian in it.
Junior Martial Sister Zhang took two command flags and walked with Senior Martial Brother Wang. This group of people was very experienced, divided into three groups, all walking in pairs, so they could look after each other, and if something happened, they could hold on until their companions came to help. At this time, they were also highly vigilant, and even the slightest change in the energy field could not escape her Jade Pool reflection. It was only a few cups of tea, and they found the Gen position, and there was still no change around them.
She threw out the formation flag. The formation flag entered the soil, but no spiritual light lit up. Junior Martial Sister Zhang gave an "eh" and walked forward. I don't know how, but she felt a chill in her belly. When she looked down, she saw a long sword that didn't know when it had been buried in her lower abdomen, as if she had walked to the blade of the long sword herself.
She couldn't believe it, slowly raised her head, and met a pair of smiling eyes. A handsome young man smiled at her slightly, stirred the blade, and Junior Martial Sister Zhang's Dao foundation shattered into pieces. The inner scene world above her head opened, and the five-real-one-virtual Dao foundation scattered. The pictures of her life drifted out, but she didn't even say a word before she died, and didn't even have time to think about a complete thought.
Ruan Ci pulled out the Cold Frost Sword and turned to look at Senior Martial Brother Wang. Senior Martial Brother Wang was bound by a blue jade ring. This jade ring bound him from head to toe, with only his eyes exposed. The ring was the same size, and it could be seen that the bones inside had been crushed, becoming a human stick. At this time, although his consciousness was clear, he had no ambition, looking at Ruan Ci with infinite pleading. Ruan Ci said, "Ah, you are begging me to give you a quick death."
She was not a cruel person by nature, but since the person opposite had made such a plea, she casually granted Brother Wang his wish. Leaving the two corpses where they were, she put away her magic treasures and once again activated the Heavenly Fate Cloud Seed to mask her aura, then darted to another location. Those two cultivators were still standing there blankly, though the expressions on their faces shifted and their hands performed various motions, as if they were laying out formation flags within an illusion. Ruan Ci watched from the side for a while until they began to look puzzled, at which point she flew her Frost Sword and killed them with a single strike. Taking a candle from her bosom, she blew it out with a 'puff' and sighed, "It is a magic treasure of the Demon Sect, after all; it really is useful."
"Where did you get such a good thing?" A streak of light drifted from afar, Qin Fengyu landed on the ground, threw the Qiankun bag down, poured out four corpses, and threw out the Qiankun bags of these dead people, "So it was refined by the Demon Sect, no wonder it has an evil spirit."
Ruan Ci didn't guard against her too much, threw the candle to Qin Fengyu, and said, "This was given to me by a friend I met outside. I just got it not long ago, and I don't know its power. This candle doesn't have a name yet, he told me to name it myself."
Thinking of Qu Tanyue, she couldn't help but reveal a smile. Qin Fengyu saw it in her eyes but didn't ask too much, curiously played with the candle, then returned it to Ruan Ci, laughing, "What do you plan to name it? Your friend is really good to you. If the magic tool originally had no name, and the owner gives it a name, the connection between the two will be much tighter. This magic tool must have been specially sought by him to give to you."
Qu Tanyue gave Ruan Ci three treasures at that time, and it was inconvenient to test them at Baoyun Ferry. This time, encountering an attack, because there was a certain amount of time to prepare, she had the heart to try. The result was very unexpected. This candle was lit with a thought, and the smoke was urged by spiritual sense. Where the spiritual sense could cover, the smoke could spread. Those six people were actually unknowingly caught in the trick. From the moment they decided to separate and set up the formation, they had already walked into the illusion arranged by Ruan Ci. Even without Qin Fengyu, Ruan Ci could have killed those six people one by one, and she wouldn't have had any damage herself.
"If that Zhou Zhi Mo could have such a candle, we would have encountered a lot of trouble..." She couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhi Mo, but after thinking about it, she couldn't say that, "However, it is not easy for an illusion to confuse many people. Not only do you have to arrange the city, but you also have to make feedback according to the actions of those people. With my spiritual sense and Jade Pool, it feels a bit strenuous to confuse six people. When the formation flag entered the soil, I failed to capture the woman's heart and produce a reaction that convinced her. Even if Zhou Zhi Mo had such a treasure, he probably wouldn't take it out to use. Moreover, he deliberately killed people slowly, also to plant magic seeds in everyone's hearts, which is completely another kind of profound skill."
"This treasure is indeed suitable for me to use." She didn't be humble and admitted it generously, "I have the Heavenly Fate Cloud Seed to protect my body. In this Hengze Heaven, no one can see through when covering the aura, and my spiritual sense is stronger than others, so I can just play the role of this treasure."
She touched the candle lovingly, passed her spiritual sense into it, checked the consumption, and said, "Since it is so handy, I will give you a good name. Let's call you Cave Rhinoceros Candle. Cave Rhinoceros Candle Illumination, this meaning is quite good."
Qin Fengyu said, "Do you give names to any magic tools at will?"
While the two were talking, Ruan Ci had already taken the corpses of Senior Martial Brother Wang and Junior Martial Sister Zhang. Senior Martial Brother Wang's strange death also attracted Qin Fengyu's attention. Ruan Ci took out the jade ring and laughed, "I asked Panpan to let me try this jade ring. Originally I wanted to call it 'Hitting Pan Ring', but Panpan wouldn't agree, so I changed it to 'Raising Pan Ring'."
This jade ring can protect the body and trap the enemy. Calling it 'Raising' is also appropriate, but Qin Fengyu was still a bit shocked, and complained for Wang Panpan and the Raising Pan Ring, "How can it be so childish, this magic tool will definitely not listen to you very much in the future."
While speaking, she poured out several Qiankun bags and said to Ruan Ci, "You contributed more this time and saved a lot of effort, seven for you and three for me."
In fact, with her cultivation, even if Ruan Ci didn't take action, Qin Fengyu killing these eight cultivators would just be a matter of time. The Cave Rhinoceros Candle just saved the two of them some effort. Ruan Ci was not polite, took 70% of the spiritual jades and put them away. As for the magic tools, neither of them liked them. Qin Fengyu wiped away the spiritual sense in them, and the two divided them at will, just waiting to sell them to the firm after going out. Qin Fengyu also taught Ruan Ci some small techniques for refining other people's magic tools, laughing, "These are necessary to learn for robbing houses. You'd better learn a few more escape techniques. Your aura is covered by the Heavenly Fate Cloud Seed, and it is enough not to learn the method of hiding traces for the time being, but I saw you using escape light to chase people just now, which was a bit conspicuous in the fight."
Cultivator escape, if it is a long-distance journey, like in Huang Shoushan, most of them are light-escaping. Looking from a distance, it looks like light spots of different sizes, followed by escape smoke. But there are also some strange escape techniques. Qin Fengyu knows a strange escape technique, called Shadow Escape. The escape light can be attached to the shadow, and can even be attached to someone's shadow to walk together. In the same realm, no one can see through it. Ruan Ci said, "This escape technique looks like what an assassin learns, it doesn't seem to fit your character."
Qin Fengyu laughed, "Actually, I have a hidden identity, which is the most powerful assassin in the world, but because I can't talk casually as an assassin, I washed my hands of it."
She couldn't help but make a few jokes, then covered her mouth to show her distress for using the quota, and returned to business, "These six people should all be Ping Sect disciples near the Qinglingmen. The two I killed, one was at the perfection of the seventh level, and the other was six and a half levels in the seventh level. Both were just that one step away. They came here to do some business. As long as they can kill a few Sheng Sect disciples, and can find some good things from this Hengze Heaven, the resources obtained are enough for them to form a core."
Ruan Ci said, "Those two small cultivators should also be very familiar with them. They saw through our identities and specifically went to report, aren't they afraid of being killed to silence them?"
Qin Fengyu shook her head, "Those Ping Sect disciples, they shouldn't easily harm each other. I haven't been to the Hengze Heaven, but the other secret realms I've been to are all like this. Ping Sect and En Sect disciples never kill each other. When they see Sheng Sect disciples, they unite to hunt them down. As for Mao Sect disciples, half and half. Outside the secret realm, they are obsequious to our Sheng Sect disciples, and after entering the secret realm, some follow to the end, and some turn their faces and are ruthless, depending on personal thoughts."
Although the Langhuan Zhou Tian does not like to bully the small with the big, it does not restrict the sect from sending opponents of the same realm to seek revenge. Therefore, in Nanzhuzhou, that Chu family's fourth son didn't look at the elders of the Taibai Sword Sect. In fact, with Elder Liu's cultivation, although he was still in the Foundation Establishment period, killing him should not be a problem, but after killing one, the sect would send people to challenge one after another, which was also troublesome. But in the secret realm, the cave-heaven True Person cannot sense it, so Sheng Sect disciples rarely reveal their identities in the secret realm.
Qu Tanyue didn't let Ruan Ci take action on the jade boat, and used his Nascent Soul avatar's face to protect Ruan Ci into the city, all to prevent her Shangqing disciple identity from being known by too many people, so as not to be surrounded and hunted down as soon as she entered the Hengze Heaven. However, Ruan Ci didn't worry about this. She had the Heavenly Fate Cloud Seed to protect her body, and her aura changed at any time. The one captured by people at Baoyun Ferry was not her real aura at all, and before boarding the jade boat, it had already been covered by the Cloud Seed.
"There is nothing to worry about for now." Ruan Ci poured out the Nether Spiritual Water and dissolved the corpses of several people, "Wait until we integrate into the Hengze Heaven, then we have to be careful. At this time, the energy field is very empty, unless hundreds of people surround and attack... well, no, unless three or four hundred people surround and attack, otherwise it's not a big problem."
Cultivators are not livestock after all, even if they are lined up there waiting for her to kill, shattering the Dao foundation also requires magic power. Ruan Ci originally felt that hundreds of people were the limit, but with the help of the Cave Rhinoceros Candle, and that Bagua mirror, if she could trap the enemy and break them one by one, then hundreds of people were not impossible to deal with. After thinking about it, she still raised the number to three hundred. If there were three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, she probably couldn't kill that many, after all, magic power would be exhausted.
"I estimate it's about the same." Qin Fengyu also nodded, "No need for any bottom-of-the-box means, that's it. But there are some small methods you don't know, it should be that your jade wall is also counted in. In fact, magic power will not be exhausted so easily. You are not like me, I have already held a method, you can use the Dharma cultivator's means to restore magic power."
Sure enough, without training, there is no enlightenment. Ruan Ci had already felt that she had gained a lot from walking alone in Huang Shoushan, and this time she was with Qin Fengyu, and she learned a lot. She was naturally intelligent, and Qin Fengyu mentioned it, and she understood it. However, she had to consume more of Qin Fengyu's speaking quota, so she said, "Is it to assess the situation before the fight and set a method? For example, I set a method to kill this person—but in this way, can't it be cycled forever, fighting more and more bravely?"
"It's not that every time you set a method, you will get a lot of feedback. For example, if you set a method now to hit me. Then the feedback you get from this method is at most a little more joy in your heart when you hit me." Qin Fengyu explained to her, Ruan Ci hurriedly said, "If I hit you, I will only feel pity and reluctance, it is impossible to be happy."
Qin Fengyu laughed, "Really? But when my teacher explained it to me, he said that anyone in the world who hits me will probably be secretly happy, because I am really too noisy."
She waved her hand, "Don't digress—I said another sentence! Dharma cultivation and Vow cultivation are the same. If you don't complete the method or fulfill the vow, there is no next method or next vow. And the feedback is based on the difficulty. According to my own feelings, if you keep setting methods to kill people in your heart, then at most you will get 20% or 30% of your magic power back. If it is a one-on-one fight, it is useless. If you kill this person, you will naturally adjust your breath and luck, which is nothing more than saving some time. But if a person is trapped in the enemy group, then this Dharma cultivation can help you a lot. After all, many small things add up. If you fight several strong enemies alone and are very confident in yourself, then this Dharma cultivation may become your trump card. Imagine you are facing three great enemies, none of whom are weaker than you. You kill one with all your strength, and the other two think that you have exhausted your cards and your magic power is exhausted. When the method is completed and feedback is given, you will be full of energy in an instant, and you will attack the next great enemy with your sword again, making those two people dumbfounded, and even secretly feeling fear, feeling that you are like a god of war, fighting more and more bravely and invincible, and gaps appear in the energy field, allowing you to catch that fleeting opportunity and take the vital point with one sword..."
Her vivid language seemed to describe a tense scene where there was no hair's breadth. Ruan Ci couldn't help but listen intently. Qin Fengyu finished speaking, satisfied and holding her cheeks, as if she was still savoring her heroic posture. Ruan Ci had already thought, "Then we must also guard against the enemy having such means."
"That's right, besides Dharma cultivation, there is Vow cultivation. If you can't beat them, maybe you will make a great vow and get feedback immediately. Although it is not fulfilled, your cultivation will only be fixed at this moment and cannot be improved, but at the critical moment of life and death, you can't care about so much." Qin Fengyu said, "So when cultivators kill people, they are either extremely fast or very slow. Fast, you must be fast enough to make the other party unable to use these backhands at all. Otherwise, you can only resolve these backhands one by one and then find the person to kill. Outside the secret realm, some cultivators want to run, and you really find it hard to catch up."
Ruan Ci also deeply agreed with this. If Zhou Zhi Mo wanted to escape, he would have left long ago. Listening to it, she was also thoughtful, "No wonder the Sheng Sect doesn't hold any pill tasting conferences. This kind of thing is really useless. In a fight, there is no such thing as a clear battle of attack and defense. It is a blink of an eye to kill."
Qin Fengyu said, "That is, the lives of people in the Qi Refining period are the least valuable. After Foundation Establishment, it is a little better. Disputes in the Golden Core period will not be too frequent. After Cave-Heaven, the life and death of cultivators are related, and even disputes will not be easily moved, often lasting for years. It is the disciples in the Foundation Establishment period who die in pieces. I came out to do errands five hundred years ago. That time, more than three thousand cultivators entered the spiritual vein, and I was the only one who walked out alive. I killed all the others."
She seemed to be talking about the weather, saying casually, "The Shadow Escape method was a heritage obtained in that spiritual vein. It is very useful in fighting. Unfortunately, the expensive method is not passed on, and I can't teach you."
Ruan Ci was stunned, and after a long time said, "Yu Niang, this time looking for Hengze Jade Dew, if I am not useful and can't get the Jade Dew, are you also prepared to kill all the cultivators in the Hengze Heaven?"
Qin Fengyu smiled innocently at her, "That's for sure, otherwise why would I come with you?"
At this point, Ruan Ci couldn't help but be speechless. Qin Fengyu didn't care at all, laughing, "However, Junior Martial Uncle is Junior Martial Uncle after all, considering more thoroughly. Fighting too many people at once is also very tiring. If you don't leave any strength in your hands, you often break the Qiankun bag. It is still more appropriate and labor-saving for Junior Martial Uncle to arrange it this way, and spiritual jades are earned easily. I admire it very much."
She clearly still remembered that Ruan Ci let go of the two small cultivators and attracted six fat sheep. Ruan Ci was blushed by the praise, and was about to defend herself, but Qin Fengyu didn't listen at all, patted her on the shoulder, and laughed, "If you don't earn more money, how can you support the expenses of our two cultivations? It is better to retreat and wave the rod than to envy the fish by the abyss. Let's go, let's go fishing!"

Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. This chapter sends out red envelopes. I am really letting myself go when writing this article, thinking of where to write. The feeling of stepping on watermelon skin is so happy! But because of the chapter division, the foreshadowing period may indeed feel a bit slow, please forgive me, take more red envelopes...
Speaking of articles, to be honest, I haven't read any articles for a few days, and I have entered a new round of book famine. Do you have any articles you can recommend for me to read...
Yesterday I watched "Fairy Eater", a daily food article, the plot is a bit flat, it feels like a business game, that is, once you are distracted, there is no urgent mood to continue reading.
Lunch is braised fish!
