Chapter 221 Qiushan Zhenren
The five-colored aura suddenly appeared in Jiuzhongxian City, scurrying into the high mountains like a frightened bird.
The whole person turned into an earthy yellow hazy mist-like stream of light, looming between the mountains.
"What a fast movement."
Shen Lian, who was chasing after him from Jiuzhongxian City, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
This hazy earth-colored stream of light did not alarm the monks who were passing by nearby. Even in his spiritual sense, it was just a blurry afterimage.
"It's still the Five Spiritual Roots."
After touching the formation, there was a sudden appearance. Although the aura was only leaked for a moment, Shen Lian had already confirmed the magic power practiced by the monk. The aura was almost in the middle stage of the golden elixir, but it was not very stable.
Immediately, his figure slowly submerged into the earth, and a ball of earth-yellow aura was released from his body, blending with the earth and rocks.
Shen Lian was not eager to pursue him. In his spiritual perception, the fleeing monk was always under control, and...
…
Qiu Shan drove the yellow sand through the mountains and ridges, and was surrounded by small particles. Runes flashed on the surface of each small particle, which not only blocked his breath, but also had the ability to break through the mountains and wilderness.
"Didn't follow."
After rushing out of the Jiuzhongxian City for a hundred miles, his spiritual sense sensed that there were no monks chasing him from behind, but he did not relax.
Then more earth-yellow particles were released from the body, which were densely adsorbed on his body, and the distance between him was increased by hundreds of miles between breaths.
Shen Lian, who was following closely behind, looked at the figure possessed by the yellow sand. A formation disk appeared in his hand, ready to activate the formation hidden outside and block the person inside.
He has been in charge of Jiuzhongxian City for some time, so it is naturally impossible for him to just deploy means in the city.
The entire Jiuzhongxian City is surrounded by his back-ups in all directions, including mountains, rivers, lakes and fields.
Chasing in a further direction,... there are also.
However, when Shen Lian was about to take action, he saw the green light flashing on the fleeing monk in front of him, and the possessed yellow sand formed a shape similar to a pair of green wings, which made the man's speed faster.
Moreover, the monk also took out a dark blue array disk in his hand.
And formations?
Seeing this, Shen Lian collected his array and wanted to see what this person was capable of.
In the entire wilderness, there cannot be anyone more sinister than him.
…
After scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense, once again confirming that no one was following behind him, Qiu Shanzhen injected the Five Elements mana into the cyan array plate in his hand.
The formation disk, which was originally cyan with a bit of black charm, was exposed to the impact of mana, and the cyan skin on the surface cracked inch by inch, revealing the original five colors of red, white, cyan, black, and yellow.
The five elements are complete.
The formation disc rotated slightly and rolled up circles of halo, drawing Qiu Shan Zhenren into it, and then suddenly crashed into an ordinary hill not far ahead.
Under the hills, the earth and rocks are solid.
At this moment, a small opening opened in the center of the earth and stone, revealing a cave inside.
Master Qiu Shan plunged into the cave, and the cracked mouth slowly healed. From the outside, there was no clue that there was a cave hidden among the earth and rocks.
"call!"
After entering the cave, Qiu Shan let out a long breath, took off the bamboo hat on his head, and frowned tightly.
Although there were no monks chasing him, he still leaked his aura after sneaking into the fairy city this time.
He prepared this cave a hundred years ago, but he didn't expect it to be used today.
"If I had known earlier, I should have brought out the precious medicine."
At this moment, Qiu Shan felt extremely regretful, but then he felt lucky again.
"The new city lord should be a middle-stage Jindan monk. With his strength, he should not be able to detect my arrangement."
"Don't be afraid even if you find out. I have reserved the fourth level of ancestral restrictions, which cannot be broken by the Golden Core cultivator."
"But this person is careful enough and actually built a formation underground."
Silently muttering to himself, Ke Qiu Shan still felt a little uneasy and felt that Ye Chang Meng Duo had to take action to retrieve the precious medicine as soon as possible.
We can't stay here in the wilderness for long.
There were so many fragments of the Five Elements Divine Gold in the Nascent Soul Basin. It was obvious that some of the Five Elements magic weapons had been exploded.
A Nascent Soul cultivator took action, but what he crushed was fragments of a third-level magic weapon.
The third-level magic weapon cannot belong to the ancestor of Nascent Soul, so there is only one explanation. The third-level magic weapon belongs to a golden elixir monk.
Even the magic weapon was beaten into powder, one can imagine the fate of the Golden Pill cultivator.
Based on the clues after the incident, Qiu Shan speculated and restored what happened at the scene.
A fight between a Nascent Soul and a Golden Core cultivator.
Golden elixir monks still have five spiritual roots.
The result was that the magic weapon of the Five Spiritual Root monks was destroyed, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
This speculation made Qiu Shan shudder. After so many years, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was being hunted.
"call!"
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Qiu Shan's chest was rising and falling, and he did not calm down for a long time.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
"Get the treasure as soon as possible and leave here."
Qiu Shan made a decision in his heart.
He has gone to the corners of the world of immortality, and is still being tortured mentally by those people.
The entire world of cultivating immortals is really not peaceful anywhere. There are fighting and fighting everywhere, desperate efforts for resources, and conspiracies and schemes everywhere.
The precious medicine was related to the repair of his injuries, and he found it after searching deep in the wilderness for hundreds of years.
"I should have left if I had known earlier."
He had made up his mind, but the fear of gain and loss lingered in his heart, making Qiushan very irritable.
It was easy to leave, but where could he find the precious medicine after leaving?
The wilderness seemed to be an island, but in fact it was vast, comparable to one-tenth of the Tiannan Continent.
Since the destruction of the Middle Ages, this area has been barren, and it has become a place for many cultivators to collect herbs. He ran all the way to the wilderness just to collect herbs.
Now he has found the five thousand year old Hualong Buyuan Zhi, and has collected three auxiliary herbs. He will soon be able to gather the herbs for Hualong Buyuan Dan.
This pill is as high as the third-grade upper grade, and the refining is cumbersome. The general third-grade upper grade alchemy masters dare not start.
As the main medicine, Hualong Buyuan Zhi is also very delicate and needs to be in the transformation spirit vein to maintain its spirituality. This is why he put the precious medicine into the Jiuchong Xiancheng spirit vein for nourishment.
There are many spirit veins, but not many spirit veins in the transformation state.
Decades ago, he had the idea of leaving once, and it was that incident that allowed him to take advantage of the three sects' war to fake his death and get rid of his identity as the city lord.
The incident that time was that a magic weapon made of five-color stone appeared in the city.
Originally, as the city lord, Qiushan himself did not come here to collect taxes, but mainly to hide and collect spiritual medicines and precious medicines, so he used a fake pill substitute as a brand.
It was just a second-level magic weapon, and he didn't care about it at all.
But that magic weapon was repeatedly unsold at auctions, and it became a topic of gossip in the streets and alleys of the city.
The auctions in the city were originally done by his subordinates. The five-element magic weapon could not be auctioned, and the matter was passed to the fake pill substitute.
It just happened to be a coincidence that he came back from the depths of the wilderness and took a look at this five-element magic weapon.
You don't know until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it.
Damn, five-color stone.
Others can't recognize it, but how can Qiushan not recognize it?
How could a piece of five-color stone end up in the Nine-Layered Immortal City?
The probability of such a thing being accidentally lost is almost zero, and Qiu Shan had expected that someone was secretly plotting.
This kind of thing was very common even when he was in the Central Continent, not to mention that the cultivation paths of the cultivators of all races in the current world of immortal cultivation have long since changed. Seeing that the essence of heaven and earth is scarce, they have begun to have evil ideas.
If he were still the young master of the past, and his family still had Yuanying, he might have intervened.
But he was killed and his family was destroyed, and he fled to the wilderness in a hurry. When he encountered this thing, he naturally threw it as far as he could.
Later, fortunately, this thing was auctioned off.
It was at that time that Qiu Shan had the idea of leaving, but it was a pity that the transformation spirit vein was difficult to find, and he still had not collected the spiritual medicine, so he took advantage of the three sects’ war and found a way to escape.
The precious medicine was still hidden deep in the spirit veins and guarded by the fourth-level spirit guards, while he transformed himself into an ordinary casual cultivator and mingled around the Nine-Layered Immortal City.
But once, a fight at the Nascent Soul level suddenly popped up again, and there were lost fragments of the Five Elements Divine Gold, which made Qiushan feel the urgency again.
He had enjoyed such treatment once before, sending out Nascent Soul cultivators to hunt down Five Spiritual Root cultivators.
The troublemakers in the world of immortal cultivation are indeed everywhere, even in the corners.
A flash of killing flashed in Qiushan's eyes, but unfortunately he was soon deflated. His strength was too poor. Even if he advanced to the Nascent Soul in this life, he would not have the strength to take revenge.
Hide.
…
On the other side, after noticing that the intruder had entered a hidden cave, Shen Lian's eyes widened.
Oh, he finally met a friend.
The set up of the safe cave was very mysterious. After checking it repeatedly several times, he noticed a small gap between the soil and rocks.
The whole thing was covered with a breath-retaining talisman.
Even with his 30,000-foot divine consciousness, he could only see a few clues.
Since he was not sure of breaking through the defense, Shen Lian thought about it and decided to help this fellow Taoist and give him an extra layer of protection.
As fellow cultivators, we should help each other.
"Om!"
In a moment, the Ka Ying combination array was arranged.
In addition, he also added a third-level Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Images array, the function of which was to conceal and isolate, so that even if the cultivators who came and went used their divine consciousness to sense, they would only see the mountains and plants in this area, and could not find anything else.
When placing the array, Shen Lian also thoughtfully placed the image beads in various places of the array, and thoughtfully protected the image beads with the third-level five-element talisman array.
After doing all this, he left Dahei to keep watch, and his figure returned to the Nine-Layered Immortal City.
The deputy soul found something in the deepest part of the immortal city, and he wanted to go back to take a look.
...
When Shen Lian returned to the underground spiritual vein, he found that a brilliant rune appeared on each of the tiger head, tiger heart, and four claws of the crouching tiger spiritual vein.
In addition, in other directions of the spiritual vein, densely packed smaller runes appeared.
These runes wandered around the spiritual vein and soon dimmed.
When he scanned the spiritual vein with his divine sense again, these runes seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace of them at all.
"Fourth-level extinguishing rune."
He recognized the type of rune at a glance. This rune is very powerful. It can isolate the induction of divine sense. Without special means, it is like an extinguished candle that cannot be detected again.
Shen Lian can recognize the rune, so he naturally has the means to stimulate it.
He stretched out his right hand and rubbed it, touched the tiger head of the crouching tiger, and pointed at several positions with a few fingers.
I saw a few small dots of light on the spiritual veins, and then the large runes that had dimmed suddenly lit up again.
The runes lit up, but wanting to see what was hidden behind the runes was not something that could be done in a short time.
Of course, Shen Lian also had another way, which was to take out the fourth-level small sword given to him by Ziyang and stab it hard. The consequence would be that the entire Jiuzhongxian City might explode.
"It seems that this friend is here for the forbidden spiritual creature behind."
"Ask for the mountain."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Lian came up with a guess about this person's identity.
A fake alchemy monk who likes to practice in seclusion and doesn't like male and female Taoists having fun together can't help but make people curious.
If this person is really asking for the mountain, it would be interesting. A five-spirit-root golden elixir monk is hiding in a place like the wilderness and pretending to be a fake elixir.
Evading a vendetta?
Evading pursuit?
Avoid...
Shen Lian came up with a very bad guess.
There are fourth-level trace-extinguishing talismans that have already avoided his detection, so the things placed here are almost safe.
Why did Qiu Shan come back to get it?
Why did he fake his death?
"Then what kind of treasure is in here?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lian still wanted to take a look.
He couldn't open the entire Silencing Talisman, so he thought it would be okay to poke a small hole and take a look.
Shen Lian took a sip and a slender silver needle flew out of his mouth.
His magic weapon Yinhao hasn't been used for a long time. It just depends on whether he can prick it or not.
…
Hidden in the cave.
After Qiu Shan rested for a day, he reopened the entrance to the cave and rushed out with a flash of earthy yellow light on his body.
Boom!
However, as soon as his figure emerged from the earth and rocks, he hit an invisible barrier.
Suddenly, ripples bloomed on the barrier, and the five colors of red, green, white, black, and yellow suddenly lit up, rushing up like fireworks, forming an upside-down multicolored bowl-shaped formation space. , sealed Qiu Shan inside.
"Third-level high-quality inverted five-element formation!"
After seeing the formation, Qiu Shan was shocked.
He was unexpectedly blocked at home without any sound.
The monks in the newly occupied Nine Layers Immortal City are not in the middle stage of Golden Core.
Streams of colorful light rose from all directions and converged on the colorful spiritual lake at the top of the formation, forming a gurgling flow of water.
Qiu Shan did not act rashly. Although he was not an array mage, he was clearly knowledgeable. The third-level high-grade Five Elements Reversal Formation was very powerful. More importantly, this formation could be used as an auxiliary formation for other formations of the same level.
A third-level high-grade formation is terrifying, and it will be even more terrifying if other formations are superimposed.
"Buzz!"
While Qiu Shan was pondering, a sound of rushing water sounded in the colorful spiritual light, and the black water all over the sky suddenly rose into the sky, gathered at the bottom of the colorful spiritual lake, and turned into an incomparably huge giant kun.
It is indeed a stacked formation.
Qiu Shanmei winced and slapped his forehead suddenly.
A ray of earth-yellow light lit up, and a half-broken tortoise shell flew out, floating above his head and slowly opening it in a defensive posture.
