Pu Hua guessed from the beginning that Li Xiuchang should be a genius disciple of a certain sect. It is estimated that Foundation Establishment just went out for training, and there was a veteran Foundation Establishment following him to protect him.
But after hearing Chen Changsheng call Li Xiuchang "Holy Son"... As we all know, only small sects and small forces like to establish Holy Son saints.
Pu Hua has a clearer idea of the identities of Chen Changsheng and Li Xiuchang.
In addition, Li Xiuchang's current image is also in line with the Holy Son identity of the small sect. Foundation Establishment succeeded at a young age. He has a simple face and looks like a flower growing in a greenhouse. He has never been beaten severely by the world of cultivators.
"It is probably a small sect whose name I have never even heard of. Holy Son went out for training, but only one Foundation Establishment Late Stage was sent to protect him. It seemed that there was no strong person in the sect." Pu Hua felt a little scornful in his heart.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt more confident in inviting Chen Changsheng to join, because Chen Changsheng had the important responsibility of "protecting Holy Son" and would not mess around.
Such a combination is more reliable.
Pu Hua advised, "Fellow Daoists, you don't have to worry so much. In addition to you, I have also invited six other Daoist friends, all of whom are reliable people from well-known and upright families."
Chen Changsheng was about to say something, but Li Xiuchang quickly interrupted, "Senior Brother Chen, let's go take a look. If nothing can be done, it's not too late to leave."
Chen Changsheng glanced at him helplessly and said, "Then you must remember to follow me at all times and never leave a foot within a radius of me."
Then he looked at Pu Hua, who was looking happy. "Fellow Daoist Pu, I only agreed temporarily. I have to meet a few other people and confirm their identities before I can help you. In addition, if there is something gained from cave abode, how it will be distributed must be agreed in advance."
"Of course." Pu Hua said quickly, "I will take you to meet several other fellow Daoists later to get to know each other, so that everyone can have a clear idea."
"In addition, I only want 20% of the harvest from cave abode, and the rest will be divided equally among several fellow Daoists, but I need to give priority to the selection. If there are alchemy resources among them, I hope that fellow Daoists from well-known families will not compete with me, Rogue Cultivator, who is about to be buried."
Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng have no objections to this. In fact, they are not very interested in the treasures in the so-called Nascent Soul cave abode.
Li Xiuchang was just a little curious. He didn't expect that he could encounter a plot like this that he had only seen in novels. In addition, seeing that Senior Brother Chen Changsheng seemed to be interested in going, he wanted to join in the fun.
Little did he know that Chen Changsheng decided to visit cave abode because of him.
Under the leadership of Pu Hua, Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng soon met several other people.
Both are Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation Level.
"Fellow Daoist Pu, didn't you say there are six more Daoist friends? Why are there only five here?"
Li Xiuchang Of the five people they saw, only three were Foundation Establishment Late Stage and two were Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
According to what Pu Hua said, breaking the cave abode formation requires the combined efforts of six Foundation Establishment Late Stages, but even counting Pu Hua and Chen Changsheng, there are only five Foundation Establishment Late Stages here.
Pu Hua replied, "There is another person, fellow Daoist, you have already met before Moonfall Spring..."
Li Xiuchang immediately thought of the bald monk. It turned out that he was also in the same group as Pu Hua and others.
No wonder when Chen Changsheng first came, the bald man encouraged Chen Changsheng to challenge to jump in line, probably just to see Chen Changsheng's strength.
Next, everyone introduced themselves, and they all knew each other's names. As for their real names and pseudonyms, they were unknown.
Anyway, Chen Changsheng calls himself "Chen Chang'an", and Li Xiuchang calls himself "Pang Yuanfu".
"We have to wait for two days for Daoist Ni to come back before setting off." Pu Hua said.
The Daoist Ni he was talking about was the bald monk. According to the queue order of the bald monks, it would indeed take two days to get the new spring water from Moonfall Spring.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Changsheng said nonchalantly, "I just have something to ask clearly."
Chen Changsheng sent a message to Pu Hua, asking about the two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, expressing doubts as to why there were two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage teammates, and whether Li Xiuchang, Foundation Establishment Early Stage, could participate in the distribution of loot.
Although Chen Changsheng doesn't care about these, the appearance still needs to be sufficient.
In the end, through communication, we learned that the two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage turned out to be Formation Master, so although Cultivation Level was weaker, Pu Hua still promised the same loot.
Pu Hua promised that Li Xiuchang would also be eligible to participate in the distribution of spoils in order not to offend.
Pu Hua alone got 20% of the loot, and there were exactly eight people left, each of whom got 10% of the loot.
Because Li Xiuchang also has the right to distribute the spoils, Chen Changsheng naturally has no objection.
However, he knew in his heart that this distribution method would still make some people in the team dissatisfied.
After all, Li Xiuchang and Cultivation Level are only Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Two days later, the bald monk surnamed Ni came back, and the group finally set off.
In order not to attract attention, they dispersed, leaving Moonfall Oasis from different directions, and finally met in the desert.
Next, Pu Hua was asked to lead the way. No one knew the location of the cave abode ruins except him.
Along the way, everyone kept a certain distance from each other. No one knew anyone, and it was impossible to build trust in just two days of getting along.
Li Xiuchang felt very relieved as he followed Chen Changsheng. His carefree look was in line with his current personality.
After several days of traveling, they came to the depths of the desert, where they could often see some ruins buried in the yellow sand. It was obvious that there had been a glorious period.
"Here we are, right here."
Pu Hua stood in front of a broken wall.
Everyone looked around and found no trace of cave abode.
Only Chen Changsheng glanced vaguely at the quicksand not far away.
Pu Hua said, "The ruins cave abode are under the quicksand in front of you. Use your magic power to protect yourselves and let the quicksand swallow you up to reach the entrance of cave abode."
After everyone heard this, they all used Divine Sense to explore under the quicksand, but nothing was found.
This is normal. Some cave abode will set up formations to confuse Divine Sense.
"I'll go first." Pu Hua took the initiative to explore the way ahead, knowing that if he didn't take the initiative at this time, others might not dare to step forward.
Pu Hua used a protective spell, then dived into the quicksand and was swallowed up by the quicksand in the blink of an eye.
With Pu Hua taking the lead, the others' vigilance dropped, and the bald monk followed closely and jumped into the quicksand.
Then others followed one after another, and Li Xiuchang also followed Chen Changsheng into the quicksand.
The fine sand around them surged like water, and Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng continued to sink, as if they were jumping into a bottomless abyss of yellow sand. It took a quarter of an hour before they finally felt down to earth.
The two finally landed at the bottom. There was a barrier below that blocked off the quicksand, but it did not prevent them from entering.
Ahead is a broken stone door. Pu Hua and others are standing in front of the door, waiting for everyone to gather.
Seeing this stone gate, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit. They had only listened to Pu Hua's one-sided words, and everyone was not sure whether this cave abode really existed.
Now at least we can see the gate of cave abode, and we are sure that Pu Hua is not nonsense.
"Go in." Seeing everyone gathered, Pu Hua said.
There was a gap in the stone door, just enough for one person to pass through, and several people entered cave abode through the gap.
Pu Hua walked at the front and introduced the people behind, "This is just the entrance to cave abode. Pu has already explored the corridor in front and the side halls along the way. Of course, if fellow Daoists think there are hidden treasures, you can explore it again."
Everyone remained silent and followed Pu Hua slowly forward, walking in the long and narrow corridor.
Just as Pu Hua said, he has explored the road ahead, and no traps have appeared.
There were several side halls along the way, and some people were determined to go in and explore them, but nothing was gained.
Pu Hua didn't rush, he waited for everyone all the way, and slowly moved forward.
In this way, after spending a lot of time, the group of people reached the end of the corridor, and suddenly a stone room in the style of a porch appeared in front of them.
After passing through the entrance hall, you can enter the main room, but there is a formation in front of the entrance hall that blocks everyone's footsteps.
"Is this the broken Fourth-tier Formation you are talking about?"
The two Formation Master carefully took a step forward and carefully observed the formation.
Pu Hua nodded. "Yes, can the two fellow Daoists break the formation? If we can break the formation with two Array Path, it should save me and others a lot of effort."
The two Formation Master asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Pu ever tried to break the formation before? Are there any special reactions to the formation?"
"Pu certainly tried it, but I don't understand Array Path. I only tried using brute force to break the formation, but I couldn't shake the formation at all. There was no special reaction."
I saw two Formation Master taking out formation plates, formation flags and other objects and trying to break the formation.
Chen Changsheng glanced at the formation, his eyes flashed slightly, but he said nothing.
After a while, as the two Formation Master were messing around, a puppet with a body burning with flames suddenly emerged from the entrance.
The two Formation Master seemed to be frightened and backed away to the others.
Chen Changsheng also pulled Li Xiuchang and quietly protected other teammates in front of him.
The two Formation Master suddenly shouted, "Destroy this Flame Puppet, the formation will collapse without attack!"
Everyone didn't know whether what the two said was true or false, but they had no choice. Even if they didn't deal with Flame Puppet, Flame Puppet wouldn't let them go.
The bald monk rushed forward immediately. "I will take the lead, you follow!"
Pu Hua also said quickly, "Everyone, please come forward and help!"
After that, he rushed forward and surrounded Flame Puppet with the bald monk on the left and right.
Two Formation Master also urgently deployed various formations to provide assistance.
"Come on, let's go up and join in the fun." Chen Changsheng sent a message to Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang nodded, and rushed forward together with Chen Changsheng, joining the siege of Flame Puppet.
Now, the last three Foundation Establishment Late Stage had no reason to be lazy and had no choice but to rush forward.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped into the entrance, a sudden change occurred. The two Formation Master suddenly activated the many formations they had arranged in advance. For a moment, the formations turned into cages, imprisoning everyone.
The bald monk and Pu Hua also gave up attacking Flame Puppet in a tacit understanding, and with the support of the two Formation Master, they withdrew from the formation range.
"Two fellow Daoists, come out quickly!" Pu Hua's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng.
