Luo Beixi The two of them are always on guard against themselves. If there is something evil in their hearts, when the last one enters, they will casually leave some mark to guide others.
Or it could be to set up a formation restriction, which can be used to siege later, but the two people in front may not be able to detect it.
But with the two of them working in tandem, with themselves sandwiched in the middle, it would be extremely difficult for them to do anything.
After Li Yan saw Ye Yuhong not moving, he deduced this in an instant. Just when the light smoke formed by Luo Beixi did not fully enter, Li Yan's body blurred quickly.
Then, towards the place where Luo Beixi drilled, it also quickly sank into the gap in the bush there...
But after Ye Yuhong waited for another ten breaths, he released all his Divine Sense and soul power. Not only did he search the surroundings carefully, but he also carefully explored the position where Li Yan had just stood.
After confirming that there was no problem, his figure flickered, turned into nothingness, and disappeared from the place, leaving only the grass and thorns swaying in the wind around him...
As soon as Li Yan entered the bushes, he felt the breath of Luo Beixi in front of him. The thickness of the bushes here was about four feet. Li Yan turned into light smoke, and a criss-crossing branches appeared in front of him, and they all slid past him.
Soon, he saw the ground under the bushes. There was a crack in the ground there, about the thickness of a little finger, that curved and spread along the ground to the mountain not far away.
There are countless cracks like this everywhere in the valley. When Li Yan saw it, the light smoke formed by Luo Beixi in front of them had penetrated directly into the cracks in the ground.
Li Yan dived in without any pause, but at this time, his attention was already highly concentrated to deal with what might happen at any time.
Although he felt that problems would not occur so early here, how could he take it so lightly?
Luo Beixi doesn't know his own purpose, so it's impossible to attack him for no reason. He can only attack himself when necessary, or when he is "useful".
In order to capture "Strength Soul Gu", the opponent meets the conditions for some reasons. For example, he can become a bait, or a blood sacrifice is needed to open the restriction, so he will become that sacrifice.
We had just arrived at our destination. Li Yan didn't believe that "Strength Soul Gu" was nearby. It was difficult to confirm a crack in the valley, but it was very easy for Divine Sense to penetrate the ground and observe the situation below. He did not sense the breath of Gu insects in this crack.
As soon as Li Yan entered the crack, he felt his eyes blur. The surrounding area was filled with sand and gravel, which gave Li Yan the impression that it was just a normal underground crack.
He sensed the aura of Luo Beixi in front of him. The opponent did not rush to both sides, but moved quickly along this crack, showing a sinking trend, and the direction was also towards the mountain at the edge of the valley.
Li Yan After flying downward for a certain distance, he felt Ye Yuhong's aura appearing behind him, and the opponent caught up with him at a faster speed.
Ye Yuhong stayed outside for nearly twenty breaths more. Now after catching up, he quickly maintained a certain distance from Li Yan and stopped getting closer.
These people are veterans of the world and know what they need to pay attention to when cooperating with others so as not to cause dissatisfaction or misunderstanding from others.
There was once again a silent silence between the three of them, and they continued to fly downward along the crack. This crack was very long, and the three of them soon reached the bottom of the mountain.
At this point, the width of the crack has not increased much, it is just a little thicker than the little finger. This is different from the similar situation Li Yan once encountered.
Although we have encountered similar situations in the past, such as cracks on the mountain, or cracks formed by the intersection of the mountain and the ground, often after Li Yan enters, a strange scene will appear soon.
But this time, this crack has never changed. It just keeps extending all the way down, as if it will never change again!
Time continued to pass, and after about a quarter of an hour, Li Yan released Divine Sense and suddenly became brighter. The cracks formed by the sand and gravel on both sides had now become as thick as a human leg.
After another forty breaths, the light smoke formed by Luo Beixi in front suddenly disappeared in front of Li Yan, and a hole as high as one person suddenly appeared there.
Li Yan walked through immediately, and then he saw Luo Beixi, who had transformed into an old man in black, standing in the cave and looking around.
Li Yan also showed its true form in an instant, followed closely by Ye Yuhong, who also showed his true form and stood in the cave.
This cave has already gone deep into the ground, and you can't see your fingers. It's pitch black, there's a cold wind, and there's endless moisture in the air.
The cave is more than one foot high and three or four feet wide. Inside, both the cave walls and the ground are covered with sharp stones.
These stones are the same color, all dark black, giving people the impression that no living being has ever entered.
There are no abnormal traces left on those dark black stones, which are completely a primitive underground cave landscape.
Those protruding black stones, as long as a mortal touches them, will be cut to pieces and bleeding, and they will be unable to see their fingers. However, this has no impact at all on the three monks.
Li Yan looked around, and behind them, above the cave roof, there was a hole the size of a head, which was exactly where they came from just now.
The other end of this cave is not the bottom of the cave, but an endless extension of the black hole. I don't know where the cave ultimately leads?
Li Yan looked around quickly and landed on the ground not far to the right. There was something like moss growing there. The leaves were dark purple and sand-shaped, and the roots were milky white.
But since it does not emit light itself, the milky-white rhizome is still plunged into endless darkness inside the cave, and there is nothing special about it.
Seeing Li Yan looking around and finally focusing on the "moss", Luo Beixi smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, it seems that you have understood the reason why I can confirm that I have found the clue "Strength Soul Gu". These things go deep along the cave. There are many along the way, but later on, they will become more and more sparse until there are none!"
Luo Beixi said, he never told Li Yan how he found "Strength Soul Gu", but when Li Yan stared at the "moss", Luo Beixi immediately confirmed that the other party knew more about "Strength Soul Gu" than what he had told him.
However, he was not angry because he had sought help from the other party, but Wang Xing still retained information about the goal of the trip.
Just the habits of "Strength Soul Gu" are extremely valuable secrets, not to mention some methods of finding this kind of Gu.
What's more, he said he had a clue, so Wang Xing naturally wouldn't say it specifically. At the same time, the current situation is just one of the clues to track "Strength Soul Gu".
"Seven beads of sand, three-color nest!"
Li Yan whispered, although his voice was very low, the other two could hear him clearly.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed well-informed! This is also a clue I got inadvertently. There are seven beads of sand here. There are not many people who can recognize grass."
Luo Beixi nodded and said.
Li Yan recognized that the "moss" at the stone roots on the cave floor was not ordinary moss. He described the relevant alchemy materials in the book "Soul Suppressing Palace" about using "Strength Soul Gu" as the material.
It mainly explains some difficult methods of finding materials when searching for Pill Formula. This "moss" does not contain much spiritual energy, but it contains a kind of coldness inside. This is not cold air. There is an essential difference between the two.
Cold, cool and mellow, it can be used as medicine to neutralize it; cold air can be biting, so it can be used as medicine to be strong!
This "moss" has thick white roots and seven leaves. The biggest feature is that the seven leaves are only as big as grains of sand, and each leaf is extremely round, so it is called "Qizhu Sand".
Because the leaves are very small, you can think of them as seven fruits, but if you look closely, they are just seven unfolded leaf stems.
The seven round leaves are also the same size. When they grow out, they grow together all the time and do not appear to be different in size. This is very strange, but this is the magic of the creation of heaven and earth.
"Seven Pearl Sand" only appears occasionally in some extremely deep underground areas. It cannot survive on the surface at all, so very few people can see it.
What's more important is that it is not very useful to immortal cultivators. There are many spiritual plants that are colder and contain more aura than it. A spiritual plant that is not very useful will naturally make people unaware of its existence.
Therefore, even if a monk occasionally sees it deep underground, after sensing the extremely weak spiritual energy in it, he will just regard it as a kind of "moss" underground and not take it seriously.
"Seven Pearl Sand" has a rare use, that is, "Strength Soul Gu" likes to swallow it very much. "Strength Soul Gu" itself is Yang, but it is a soul-type Gu insect.
The soul has yin and yang, so "Strength Soul Gu" itself is a biased balance of yin and yang, which is suitable for Heavenly Dao to survive. Therefore, during the growth process, when balancing the yang energy in the body, yin and cold are needed to help.
It's just that its essence is Yang. If it absorbs cold air or swallows Yin and cold, then the confrontation between Yin and Yang will be too severe, which will make it prone to death, so it will look for cold and docile things.
"Strength Soul Gu" also searched for generations and finally found "Qizhu Sand", which is most suitable for its growth.
In the cave in front of you, "Seven Pearls Sand" appeared, and Luo Beixi said that the farther inside the cave, the "Seven Pearls Sand" became sparse, which is actually not consistent with the growth habit of "Seven Pearls Sand".
After the "Seven Pearl Sand" appears in an underground cave, it often grows more and more lushly the deeper it goes deeper. As Luo Beixi said, it means that "Strength Soul Gu" is devouring it.
Of course, this still cannot be completely confirmed, but it does not mean that where "Seven Pearl Sand" grows, there will definitely be "Strength Soul Gu", it is just that the other party will easily appear nearby.
Li Yan continued to ask.
"So, fellow Daoist Sansechao has also seen it?"
