Chapter 910: Xuanhu One Qi Cave Origin

~16 min read 3,047 words

Qunyi reefs are dense, waves are surging. Crossing the fine small reefs, you can see larger sea islands, connected in one piece, and cultivators rise and fall from time to time, stopping on the islands.

Li Ximing met Li Zhouwei on the north bank, explained some things, and soon stepped through the void and left. Pretending to look for the traces of spiritual fire, he wandered in the East Sea for a long time, ensuring that no one noticed, and then followed the map, all the way to this place.

The pair of islands in front of him are small and large, the small one is like a deer head, the large one is like a deer body, but it grows a few points, strange rocks are jagged, like wearing a helmet.

This pair of islands, the small one is called Lu Lai, the large one is called Chang Zhou. The area is not small among Qunyi, but the terrain is remote, the spiritual machine is not obvious, so it has no name. But the Li family is not unfamiliar. The clan history mentioned the names of this pair of islands. Li Xuanfeng and Li Qinghong have been here.

But Li Ximing looked across the void, and his heart was a bit surprised: *'There are still many traces of people here.'*

He turned his head to look, there were many temples on the island, monks walking, although the cultivation was not good, it was quite vibrant. They called themselves 【Earth Abode Palace】, but the spiritual machine was thin, and only a Taixi cultivator was presiding.

This group of people was clearly isolated from the world, took the name of the palace, but only had Taixi cultivators. Li Ximing swept a glance, stepped down into the air, and found that the total of three cultivation methods in the entire 【Earth Abode Palace】, stacked together, were not as thick as a quilt. As for the quality, it was not stable enough to pad the table legs.

What is even more peculiar is that 【Earth Abode Palace】 worships a nondescript monk. Clearly practicing the Purple Gold method, but calling himself Release Dharma, calling Taixi a protector.

Li Ximing did not want to expose his whereabouts, took a rough look, picked a book to read, and scanned two pages at will, and knew the reason.

*'Aunt and Uncle came here back then, and Uncle once shot and killed a Dharma master named E Wu. The commoners worshipped the monk at that time, and it has been passed down to this day, becoming this appearance.'*

*'It was originally mostly Earth-raising children, raising mortals to practice together, but there were several riots, almost all died, spiritual objects became less and less, and slowly occupied by mortal cultivators.'*

It didn't look like the Release Cultivators had planted seeds here, just a coincidence. He breathed a sigh of relief silently, stepped into the void, shuttled through the earth veins, and kept going deep.

Deep underground for a short while, water veins and earth veins intertwined. Li Ximing only felt that the void suddenly fluctuated. He probed forward and backward, and felt that something was wrong. His heart had a realization: "This place must have a different spiritual machine, and you cannot stand in the void!"

So he estimated slightly, stepped through the void and came out, appeared in the earth veins, the sky light flashed around him, the black stone immediately disappeared, melting into a small cave that could accommodate him alone.

This place was facing the earth veins. For a time, the evil spirit was rolling. Li Ximing looked closely, and the top, bottom, left, and right were all black stones. He immediately pinched the formula, turned into a bright light, and kept going down along the earth veins, soon suddenly enlightened, and actually saw a dark and lightless karst cave.

This cave was empty and wide, with countless black stalactites like dog teeth hanging on the top, and a vast black water on the ground. A little bit of slender stone tips broke out of the water. There were no more stalagmites in the lake water.

This place was filled with extremely rich evil spirits, and there was no spiritual machine in the air. The earth evil spirits in the entire cave formed a complete cycle, and there was the sound of dripping water from time to time.

*'No wonder the void does not see this place.'*

This evil spirit lake surrounded a stone platform, and deep blue light halo surrounded it. The gate of the cave was tightly closed, looking particularly deep in the dark evil spirits.

Li Ximing restrained his divine powers, looked closely, and immediately had joy in his eyes: *'This lake is 【Youqian Evil Liquid】... it is the secondary spiritual object after 【Earth Evil Cold Spring】 met Kan Water Qi and diluted and changed... then there must be the spring eye of 【Earth Evil Cold Spring】 at the bottom of the lake...'*

【Earth Evil Cold Spring】 is also a Foundation Establishment-level spiritual water, but this thing is not comparable to other things. As long as the spring eye here is not destroyed, there will inevitably be a steady stream of 【Earth Evil Cold Spring】 produced. Even if it takes a lot of time to produce a portion, it is also an excellent thing!

He did not rush to sink into the lake, but stepped into the air, stretched out a hand, and tapped lightly on the deep blue radiance in the lake, seeing a piece of black aura emerging, clearly the fluctuation of the formation.

*'Zifu Spiritual Formation!'*

This spiritual formation is not like the 【Zhaoguang Xuanzi Great Formation】 on the Li family lake. It was not established in the direction of a mountain-guarding formation, but it is small and exquisite, with ancient meaning.

"Sure enough, it is still there..."

His heart was happy. He stretched out a finger, hooked out a wisp of deep blue radiance, pondered in his hand, and nodded secretly: "The spiritual formation of the 'Mansion Water' path is strange. It is often said that Mansion Water is black and white water, but there is deep blue radiance. There must be something tricky."

It is absolutely not an easy thing to open this formation, but Li Ximing is not panicked. He closed his eyes, held it in front of the Ascending Yang, his figure disappeared out of thin air, and reappeared in a flash, with a jade box in his hand.

He took out a small bead the size of a fingernail from this jade box and placed it quietly in front of him.

Then he saw this small bead suddenly melt, and wisps of forest white radiance flew out from it, echoing with the radiance in this formation, actually making this color gradually fade and tremble slightly.

This small bead has its own wonderful use. It was condensed by taking a wisp of aura, and Lu Jiangxian's spiritual sense had long passed through the formation. Relying on the dominance of spiritual sense, he carved a wisp of the same aura on this formation plate!

Taken out at this moment, the radiance of this great array faded in color as if it had seen its master, allowing Li Ximing to drift into the array calmly. Seeing this appearance, his heart was even more certain: "This cave dwelling was indeed left by a person from the heavens!"

As he stepped in front of the door, he saw a plaque on the top, writing three characters: 【Zhentao Mansion】.

This tightly closed stone gate opened with a bang. Inside was a white mist, full of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy was extremely pure, but it was locked by the translucent light curtain in front of the door and could not surge out.

Once the formation was solved, this cave-heaven was almost equal to undefended. Li Ximing stepped in, and what entered his eyes was a spacious round hall. The high place was deep, and a case was set up. Behind the case was a huge mural, painted with extremely strange patterns.

This circular mural projected between the entire cave-heaven, spreading to the top, painting the magnificent scene of turtles embracing, black and white intertwined.

The intense colors gathered into a circle, concentrating the colors of the entire hall on the main seat. The remaining wisps of black and white gathered on the top of the head, and the light projected on the ground, turning into light spots of various sizes.

There were three cases on the left and right, descending in order. The four cases and wine vessels were all deep blue with gold patterns, with a strong sense of depth, emitting deep cold light, extremely luxurious.

Li Ximing restrained the faint shock, swept a glance, and knew that this case was made of 【Zhan Mansion Blue Gold】. Nowadays, such spiritual objects are used to make daggers and knives. The cave-heaven master used them to make case utensils, which shows the financial resources.

And the center of the hall was dug into a circular shape, paved with exquisite jade, and strands of spiritual liquid shining with white light were surging in the pool, constantly rising wisps of white gas, filling the spiritual energy in this cave-heaven.

Li Ximing stepped in and swept a glance: *'The water in the pool is 【Wall Sinking Water】, which is also a spiritual object of the Mansion Water path. It is generally used by high cultivators to quench fire when refining tools... The owner of this cave-heaven is probably not simple. Could it be an refiner...'*

*'It's just... only heard of the Mansion Water alchemy method of the Mifan Dao lineage. Li Encheng of that year was quite famous for this, but never thought of Mansion Water refining tools...'*

The case in the center was a cut higher. Li Ximing couldn't care about pondering too much, stepped into the air and landed, his eyes swept over the platform.

A jade box was placed on the platform in an orderly manner. Li Ximing only swept a glance, his fingers tapped, and he understood what was in it.

Zifu spiritual water, Zifu spiritual water of the Mansion Water path!

I am afraid that only this level of cave-heaven can easily get this thing! Li Ximing exhaled excitedly, gently picked up the jade box, and used divine power to wrap the jade box first, then slowly lifted the lid, and saw a deep blue piece hidden inside, actually a small lake.

This lake has deep and light colors, lotus flowers, reeds swaying, and even white egrets the size of rice grains flying back and forth on the lake, all white, feathers distinct, actually like living things.

As his gaze fell, the reflection of the morning sun immediately rose on the lake, and then all the strange signs shattered together, turning into a clear and deep blue water wave, revealing the original form of this spiritual water.

Li Ximing just looked at it like this and immediately recognized it:

【Cave Egret Origin Water】! The Li family was born on the lake. Although there was no Mansion Water inheritance, Wangyue Lake was once a great marsh that could be ranked in the world. There were many records and legends, and Mansion Water was easy to recognize! The most detailed record of 【Cave Egret Origin Water】 is seen in the "Two Hundred Years of Scenery in Linghai County" given by the Xiao family. 【Cave Egret Origin Water】 is also called 【Xuanhu One Qi Cave Origin】. The Xueji Sect once had a turmoil because of this thing, so the book records, except for the description, it writes:

*'The genus of Xuan turtles, driving lake demons, born white, red in ten years, green in a hundred years, one production in three hundred years, spitting 【Xuanhu One Qi Cave Origin】 from the mouth, can stabilize lake marshes, observe changes, take it at night, great benefit to Shaoyin evil Qi, can get eyes on the cheeks.'*

Although "Two Hundred Years of Scenery in Linghai County" is the inheritance of the Xiao family, it is not specifically recording spiritual objects. It mentions these few sentences at most, but it is enough for the Li family to remember this thing deeply.

*'【Cave Egret Origin Water】... There are not many high-level Mansion Water Dao lineages in the world, and this thing is even more precious, not to mention... I am afraid this thing is something that some Dao lineages are extremely eager for.'*

He was excited and silently put this thing into his sleeve, feeling deeply emotional: "Only this kind of opportunity can get this level of things! In ordinary times, those cultivators who go out, which one is not hiding the cultivation method and spiritual objects in the formation, killing is not enough, and still want to get this kind of thing?"

You must know that this cave-heaven is covered tightly by the Zifu formation. This formation is not as vast as the mountain-guarding formation, but the quality is extremely high, small and exquisite. Just by himself, I am afraid he can't break this formation!

Even if the formation was broken, the things in this treasure land and cave-heaven could not be kept. If there was no bead given by the heavens, I am afraid he could only stare at this formation dryly at this moment.

He suppressed his excitement, turned into light and dissipated, swept his spiritual sense, and looked at each entrance next to the main hall one by one, but found them all closed, and immediately scanned them.

*'Where is the formation plate?!'*

This cave-heaven is so neat, and there is no mess, it is very likely that the owner did not suddenly fall outside, but left with arrangements. Unceremoniously, such cave-heavens, the most valuable things are eight or nine out of ten formation plates.

Now that he has obtained a rare 【Cave Egret Origin Water】, although the rarity of the Zifu formation is not as good as the origin water, the value is only one point behind. Even if he continues to explore, he must first refine the formation plate and put his own Li Ximing's mark on it, so as not to bump into walls everywhere!

But he looked around, the hall was full of white gas, extremely empty, but there was no shadow of the formation platform. Li Ximing had to close his eyes slightly and invite the immortal tool.

He closed his eyes for a moment, suddenly realized, stepped forward quickly, returned to the platform, did not stay too much, crossed this place, and immediately looked at the huge mural behind it, reaching out lightly.

The back of that Xuan turtle was snow-white, and the patterns were extremely complex. As his divine power slowly touched the turtle back, the snow-white like mist lit up little by little, actually revealing a deep blue circular plate covered with mysterious patterns.

It is the formation plate of the formation in this cave-heaven, which is embedded in this wall!

*'So cautious... such means! It seems that even the people who entered the formation are not trusted, so the owner had to do a nesting, embedding the formation plate into the protection and cover of the formation...'*

Li Ximing thought thoughtfully, covered the formation plate with one hand, divine power operated, wisps of sky light poured into it, dyeing it with faint gold, and after a quarter of an hour, the radiance in the cave flickered slightly, and the Zifu formation had changed hands!

*'Got it!'*

Now as he controlled the formation plate, the name and wonders of this formation gradually emerged:

【Xuan Turtle Mansion-Suppressing Spiritual Formation】! This formation is also a Zifu spiritual formation, but its wonders and power are completely different from his own 【Zhaoguang Xuanzi Spiritual Formation】. This formation has three wonders, namely 【Testing Kan】, 【Storing Spirit】, and 【Xuan Mansion】.

The method of 【Testing Kan】 is extremely strange. It is that there is a Kan Water key in the ground of this formation, which can continuously emerge a certain Kan Water Qi. Li Ximing looked at it, eight or nine out of ten is the origin of the 【Earth Evil Cold Spring】 transformation outside.

The method of 【Storing Spirit】 is the use of the central pool, which will continuously condense 【Wall Sinking Water】 over time. As long as the 【Wall Sinking Water】 is full in a hundred years, it will condense into a portion of white feather spiritual resources.

This last ability of 【Xuan Mansion】 will condense the surrounding earth veins, water veins, and spiritual veins on weekdays, twisting them into one strand to become the foundation of the Xuan Mansion, adding spiritual machine. When someone invades, it can transfer the attack received by the formation to the foundation of the Xuan Mansion.

That is to say, these three wonders have no active attack wonders at all, and even the last defensive wonder seems very perfunctory, as if it is incidental, making Li Ximing look secretly shocked: *'The wonders of this cave-heaven are too obvious. Each one is based on the owner's intention and built for a certain purpose. If it is really what the caster wants, there is no such thing as a caster who is not an ordinary formation master!'*

"Condensing Zifu spiritual resources, this kind of thing looks like it makes people eager... and it is not something that people nowadays can understand!"

It is precisely because the wonders are harsh that even he, a person who does not understand formations, can see that 【Testing Kan】 and 【Storing Spirit】 are all built on the last 【Xuan Mansion】. All transformations are obtained through the interaction between earth veins, water veins, and spiritual veins. Maybe the place changes, and the first two wonders will fail.

Comparing with his own 【Zhaoguang Xuanzi Spiritual Formation】, Li Ximing had a deeper understanding and looked at the formation plate in front of him, feeling deeply emotional:

*'The 【Zhaoguang Xuanzi Spiritual Formation】 at home is the Zifu spiritual formation of the Li family, and this is the Zifu spiritual formation of the Zifu person himself. The people served are different, how can they be the same?'*
