Chapter 118: Going to Taiyun Valley, Father Poisoning and Eating Son, Planning Yunzhi Fruit
The two discussed the clan's affairs for a while.
Fu Changsheng gave Fu Changren a few instructions and said he would be away for a while. Before leaving Luofeng Mountain, he made a detour to Wangyue Academy. He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that it was Grandmaster Yu who was giving a lecture today, explaining the art of formation. Shitou Fu Yongyi was sitting in the front row, listening most attentively.
A year has passed.
Fu Yongyi actually broke through two levels in a row and directly reached the third level of Qi training.
This cultivation speed is not much slower than Molan's in the past.
He couldn't help but become more curious about Fu Yongyi's spiritual roots.
at this time.
There was a rapid beeping sound from my waist.
A spell was cast into the jade talisman, and it was Grandma Yu's voice that came out.
Coming out from Luofeng Mountain.
From a distance, Grandma Yu and Yu Qingru were seen waiting by the Changliu River. Fu Changsheng took the Immortal Steps and appeared in front of them in a few flashes.
Two years no see.
Grandma Yu looked even older.
On the contrary, Yu Qingru's cultivation has reached the peak of Qi training.
Granny Yu's eyes fell on Fu Changsheng and she said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Fu is truly gifted. In just two years, he has broken through from the eighth level of Qi training to the peak of Qi training."
Fu Changsheng said a few words modestly.
A wave of sleeves.
The flying boat is suspended in the air.
The three of them touched the ground with their toes and landed on the flying boat. A spell was cast on the talisman formation on the deck. With a humming sound, a light curtain of formation rose up, ripples flashed, and the flying boat disappeared.
Although Fu Changsheng had already learned from the intelligence where Grandma Yu was going, he still made an exception and asked:
"Grandma Yu, can you tell us where we are going and what we are doing now?"
Grandma Yu’s face looked solemn.
Even though there was a restriction on the flying boat to block divine consciousness, he still transmitted his voice:
"Friend Fu, we are going to the Taiyun Valley at the junction of the Yunteng Tribe and the Tianyang Tribe. There is a Yunzhi tree in the valley with four fruits on it. According to the deadline, they will mature in two to three months!"
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
It turns out that the Yunzhi fruit has the effect of cleansing the essence and marrow!
"Three or four years ago, I discovered this place by chance. At that time, I set up a small second-order yellow sand formation in the cave where the cloud mushroom fruit was. Taiyun Valley is originally a place with a lack of spiritual energy. Not to mention cultivators, even monsters will not set foot there. With the protection of the yellow sand formation, our journey to the Eastern Wilderness should not be dangerous. We just need to be careful of the spies from the Yunteng Tribe and the Tianyang Tribe to prevent them from discovering our tracks."
This way.
That would be safer.
Fu Changsheng felt relieved and planned to use the remaining two family contribution points to exchange for information when he was about to arrive at Taiyun Valley, just to be absolutely sure.
East Desert, Taiyun Valley.
The valley is filled with densely packed Qingcang trees.
In a cave covered by green vines.
The old man, wearing animal skins and with a sun totem engraved on his forehead, slapped his storage bag. A glow of light appeared, and an eight-diagram array spun around and fell into the cave in front. With a buzzing sound, a yellow light curtain instantly lit up around the cave, and yellow sand filled the light curtain.
The young man Tianli beside the old man's eyes lit up when he saw this:
"Master, you have sharp eyes. There is indeed a magic array hidden here. It should be the legendary cave of the ancient monk."
Old monster Xin took back his magic.
He frowned and said:
"This is a second-level yellow sand formation. Judging from the way it was set up, it's obviously not created by an ancient cultivator."
"Ah, Master, so you mean this is a retreat cave of a certain cultivator?"
"There is a lack of spiritual energy here, and it is also the border of two major tribes. How could an ordinary person open a cave here? There is only one possibility, that is, a cultivator found some spiritual flowers and herbs in the cave, but they are not old enough, so he can only set up a second-level magic array and wait for them to mature before picking them."
Able to be protected by the second-level yellow sand array.
This shows that the spiritual plants in the cave must be of great value.
Tianli was so excited that his voice trembled:
"In that case, let's quickly report back to the tribal elders. If there really are high-level spiritual plants inside, it will be a great achievement. Counting the merit points we have accumulated before, the next time the tribe has foundation-building pills, you can exchange them for foundation-building pills!"
talking.
Tianli immediately took out a jade talisman engraved with the sun rune, but was stopped by the old monster Xin's eyes:
"The formation has not been broken yet, and we don't know what's inside. If we rashly notify the foundation building elders to come, if they run away empty-handed, our master and disciple will inevitably be scolded. Be patient and wait for the master to break the formation first."
“Master is still thoughtful”
Tianli looked adoring.
The master is one of the few second-level formation masters in the tribe.
Although he has not been promoted to the position of elder yet.
But he is also a very prestigious person in the tribe.
Unfortunately, he was born with a poor brain and was unable to inherit his master's formation skills.
"Li'er, you go to the valley entrance and guard it. If there are any monks passing by, inform me immediately."
"Yes, master!"
Wait until Tianli leaves.
Old Monster Xin let out a long sigh.
This apprentice is too loyal to both the tribe and his master.
Since it was something protected by a second-level magic array, most people's first thought would be to take it for themselves after breaking the array. However, this silly disciple was only thinking about reporting it to the tribe.
If the tribe really values him.
Twenty years ago, that foundation-building pill should have been given to him, not to that junior Li Ya.
Want to build a foundation.
He still has to rely on himself.
And the opportunity is right in front of us.
How could he just give it up to the people of the tribe?
It would not be difficult to break the second-level yellow sand formation by force, but if there were high-level spiritual plants inside, they would all be destroyed. So in order not to destroy the treasures inside, he could only do it slowly.
unconsciously.
Two months flew by.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the Taiyun Valley, and a vortex entrance suddenly appeared in the cave that was originally filled with yellow sand. As soon as the entrance appeared, an abundant spiritual energy filled the air, and a three-meter-tall spiritual plant came into view.
Four half-red fruits hung on the crown of the spiritual plant. The outer skin of the fruit was engraved with cloud patterns, resembling cloud fungus. A brilliant light flashed in Old Monster Xin's eyes:
"This is... Yunzhi fruit?!"
This is something used to assist in building the foundation and cleanse the essence and marrow.
normal person.
If you really can't buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
With this auxiliary spiritual object, you can also boldly try to impact the foundation.
Old Monster Xin originally thought that there was no hope of building a foundation.
The opportunity is right in front of you now.
For a while.
I was so excited that I almost burst into tears.
immediately.
He suddenly looked towards the entrance of Taiyun Valley, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes:
"My good disciple, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!"
Old Monster Xin cast a spell on the magic circle, and the vortex of yellow sand closed. He picked up the communication jade talisman and spoke a few words quickly. After a while, Tianli, who had been waiting outside Taiyun Valley obediently for two months, ran in excitedly.
"Master, the formation has been cracked. Is there really a high-level spiritual object inside?" Old Monster Xin answered the question irrelevantly:
"Li'er, in the past two months, have the people from the tribe sent you any messages? Or have you had any contact with the tribe?"
"No, Master." Tianli shook his head like a rattle. "Before we set off, didn't you repeatedly tell me not to contact anyone without your consent? I remember that."
"Well, that's great. The cave magic circle has been unlocked. You can go in and see what it is now!"
"Yes, Master"
Tianli turned around excitedly, and just as he took his left foot, he felt a pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw a bright big knife piercing through his back. Tianli turned his head with difficulty, his face full of disbelief:
"Master, for..."
The words were not finished.
His body fell heavily to the ground with a thud, and he was no longer able to breathe.
There was no trace of grief on Old Monster Xin's face.
For a treasure like the Yunzhi Fruit, the fewer people who knew about it the better. He immediately slapped the spirit beast bag at his waist. A buzzing sound was heard, and spirit-eating insects flew out, drowning the corpse of Tianli, and it was devoured in an instant.
Tianyang City.
Li Ya, the newly promoted foundation-building elder who had been guarding the Soul Tree for the past twenty years, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Heavenly Power Soul Lamp that had just gone out. He frowned slightly:
"Tianli was at the eighth level of Qi training, how could he suddenly die?"
He subconsciously looked at the soul lamp engraved with the name of Old Monster Xin, and the light was always on.
Liya hesitated for a while.
A spell was cast on the communication jade talisman, and a few words were spoken quickly. Soon, footsteps were heard outside the Soul Palace. Li Ya cast a spell in the palace, and the light curtain of the formation opened, and a man in black flashed in.
Liya said in a deep voice:
"When did Tianli leave Tianyang City? Who did he go with? Did he tell me why?"
"Reporting to the elder, Tianli and his master, Old Monster Xin, left Tianyang City more than two months ago. As for what happened, I will go to investigate immediately."
"Well, report to me immediately if you find anything."
"Yes, elder!"
The man in black disappeared in a flash.
Li Ya looked at the soul lamp of Old Monster Xin and fell into deep thought.
The two great saints of the tribe back then were him and Old Monster Xin. In terms of aptitude, he was even inferior to Old Monster Xin. However, he never expected twenty years ago that the elders of the tribe would give him the Foundation Establishment Pill. He only found out about it when he broke through the Foundation Establishment and was promoted to elder.
This is when Old Monster Xin was gaining experience beyond his youth.
He once killed his own brother just for a piece of Tiansang fruit.
The elder who was observing secretly saw this scene and after much deliberation, he gave the foundation-building pill to himself.
Although Tianli is not a candidate for the tribal saint son, he has good talent.
At that time, he also proposed that Tianli choose another master, but Tianli would rather die than obey, believing that once a teacher, a father for life. However, he always felt that Tianli's death was quite strange:
"I hope it's not what I thought."
Fu Changsheng and the other two piloted the flying boat for two months.
Granny Yu stood up and glanced around:
"If we go south for half a day, we will reach Taiyun Valley. Fellow Daoist Fu, how about we rest for a night and set out again tomorrow?"
Along the way.
They were afraid of missing the opportunity when the Yunzhi fruit matured.
The three of them almost took turns at the helm.
Day and night.
Two months of continuous travel.
He himself was a little tired, so naturally he had no objection.
The flying boat landed.
They found a cave and lived in it.
Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and a bright light flashed. Instantly, eight formation flags flew out and landed in different directions, accompanied by his spells that hit the formation plate.
A buzzing sound.
The light curtain of the formation rose up, covering the cave.
As he retracted his seal.
The light curtain then disappeared.
Yu Qingru took a glance and said in surprise:
"It's actually a second-order inverted five elements formation. Fellow Daoist Fu, are you also a formation master?!"
Fu Changsheng hurriedly shook his head.
The three of them chose a location and began to meditate.
After a few small weeks.
It will be dawn soon.
Fu Changsheng's consciousness fell on the panel, and he immediately had an idea:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Then lines of text appeared:
[In Taiyun Valley, the old monster Xin of the Tianyang tribe has successfully cracked the protective magic circle of the cloud fungus fruit, the yellow sand formation. After killing his accompanying apprentice Tianli, the old monster Xin entered the cave, restored the yellow sand formation to its original state, and set up a second-level four-elephant black tortoise formation as a defensive magic circle, waiting for the cloud fungus fruit to mature.]
at the same time.
The family contribution points on the panel are instantly cleared!
Fu Changsheng looked at the information above and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. If it weren't for the intelligence reminder, they would never have thought that the people of the Tianyang tribe would have gotten there first.
The Tianyang tribe has three foundation-building warriors guarding it.
In other words.
Their trip is doomed to fail!
and many more!
"wrong!"
After carefully studying the information.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Fu Changsheng's heart.
The intelligence mentioned that Old Monster Xin killed his own apprentice, which means that the other party had never thought of informing the Tianyang tribe about the Yunzhi Fruit.
Judging from the fact that the other party was willing to kill his own disciple for the Yunzhi Fruit, it is obvious that the Yunzhi Fruit is very important to him. From this point of view, this old monster Xin should not have established his foundation yet!
Then they still have hope.
just.
He had no idea how to break the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation, and he had to think of a good way to implicitly remind Yu Po-po and the others to make plans early.
at this time.
Grandma Yu and her grandchildren have also woken up.
The two were slightly excited because they would be able to pick the Yunzhi fruit soon. Fu Changsheng pondered for a while and said:
"Grandma Yu, before you came here, you told me that you came to Taiyun Valley three or four years ago. Have you ever been here again in the past three or four years?"
Grandma Yu shook her head.
Firstly, this place is the border between the Yunteng tribe and the Tianyang tribe, which is too dangerous.
Secondly, if you frequently visit this place, you might accidentally expose the location of the Yunzhi fruit cave.
"Grandma Yu, three or four years is too long. Taiyun Valley is near two major tribes. Although you have set up the Yellow Sand Formation, if the formation master passes by here and finds traces of the formation, it will undoubtedly be a case of trying to cover up one's own faults. According to your calculations, the Yunzhi fruit will mature soon. I think we should prepare for the worst."
Yu Qingru understood immediately and understood the hidden meaning of Fu Changsheng's words:
"Friend Fu, you mean someone might have gotten there first."
Grandma Yu also calmed down from her excitement.
He left in no hurry, and sat cross-legged again, looking at Fu Changsheng approvingly:
"Brother Fu is indeed thoughtful. Since I was able to discover the location of the cloud fungus fruit, three or four years later, the two major tribes nearby may also have discovered this place. Just like what Brother Fu said, it is better to be safe than sorry. We have to make a worst-case scenario, assuming that there is someone lurking there."
