Practice begins with a fisherman

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are hundreds of caves, large and small, each with different uses. I don't know who the owner of this cave was in the first place? Why didn't he step out of the cave with such a rich storage of spiritual objects? The last step?" In the search process, this is a question that has been lingering in my mind.

From the already messy cave, it can be seen that the real owner of the cave has a wide range of activities, from common alchemy, weapon refining, formations, and talismans to some unpopular spiritual animal breeding, cultivation and birth of elixir gardens, and even The grafting spirits that are only heard and rumored are more or less understood.

Every auxiliary skill requires a considerable amount of time from initial dabbling to final proficiency. This cave master must have been a famous genius in the cultivation world before his death. Dare to have the slightest hope, with his aptitude, just to ensure the continuous advancement of his own cultivation is already an extremely difficult and extraordinary achievement.

After the last scramble and battle, this dilapidated cave was in a state of chaos as a whole. Except for some worthless fragments, there were no spiritual objects left in almost all the caves.

After a hard search, he didn't even find any valuable spiritual objects. Obviously, the monks who participated in the competition at the beginning were the real scratchers.

Located in the central part of the entire underground space is the place where the owner of the cave mansion sits. Although it was almost completely destroyed in the last battle, we can also get a preliminary understanding of the general situation here through some remaining traces of the layout. understanding.

The owner of the cave has clearly designed it carefully, it looks like a small sect with complete functions, all kinds of utensils needed are available, and there is even a small spiritual lake.

From some remaining bones and some roots, it can be judged that there were some high-grade spirit fish and lotus roots in this small spirit lake.

"This is the real multi-treasure cultivator. Compared with this senior, who is also a late-stage cultivator, he is as pitiful as a beggar." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but sigh.

"However, no matter how rich you were in life, if you can't take the last step, everything can only be used as a wedding dress for the latecomer. I am afraid that in the fierce battle, the body of this senior will be affected to some extent." Different feelings naturally have some differences comprehended.

Because the troops were divided into three groups, when he arrived at the center where the master of the cave was sitting, the Griffin was also disgraced and shuttled back and forth from the caves.

The colorful mercury bull that was the first to set off was standing in front of a seemingly ordinary piece of bluestone, as if it was performing a special kind of spiritual art, bursts of earthy yellow light burst out from the huge bull's eyes, Judging from his determined expression, it is obvious that this is not a simple piece of bluestone.

This piece of bluestone is already located in the deepest part of the entire cave, and it is behind a pile of chaotic rocks. From the surface, it has no special features.

This may also be the reason why it was lucky enough to survive the last fight. The colorful mercury bull's target is obviously also here. As for what kind of spiritual objects can be obtained from here, it is obviously unknown.

"No matter how cunning your monk family is, I have the guidance of this complete map, and I can still get rid of you. Except for this hidden cave, it is estimated that there are only some scraps left in the whole cave. It's really greedy and whimsical to want the right of priority." The eyes of Wucai Mercury Bull are full of endless ridicule at this time.

Just at this time, a portal with a width of Zhang Xu appeared on the bluestone, and the Mercury Bull entered it very flexibly. With a flash of light, the bluestone returned to its previous appearance again. The difference makes it hard to tell the truth from the fake.

The Colorful Mercury Bull has obviously made up its mind to swallow the spirits here alone, and will not share anything with the Griffin and Zhao Shoushou. At this time, the fragile alliance between them is already in name only, and they will meet again because of the possible existence of each other. The ghosts turned against each other.

"It doesn't take much effort to find a place to walk through the iron shoes, and only this kind of storage room that is specially used to store some sundries and is relatively hidden can escape the catastrophe." Zhao Shoushou looked at a building not far away. The portal, which was about the size of a normal cave and submerged in layers of loess, only exposed a corner, finally showed a satisfied smile on its face.

The utility room may not be very eye-catching under normal circumstances, and compared with the treasures in other caves, it is definitely not above the agreed level.

Chapter 1121 Spirit Treasure, Formation Banner and Spirit Insect

For most of the monks, most of the storage in the utility room is some tasteless spiritual things that are tasteless and discarded.

Since the owner of this cave has some great achievements in various aspects, the spiritual objects that are eligible to enter the utility room must also have some high value, which is already a treasure for the entire cave that has been searched and empty. Good harvest, at least he is quite satisfied.

As for the discovery of the utility room, it was purely coincidental. If it hadn't been for an accidental glance at this place at a critical moment, and luckily found some clues, it would have been missed.

Perhaps because they didn't pay much attention to it, there was no formation outside the utility room, and it was just a simple and simple cave.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the combination of the secret location, no leakage of spiritual power, and the absence of any protective formations, etc., that the attention of the monks and monsters who participated in the competition for the monks and monsters had not been attracted, otherwise it would have been absolutely impossible. Let it go.

Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound of rubbing, under his push, the utility room that had been closed for an unknown amount of time finally appeared in the monk's sight again.

The size of the utility room is not too large, and there is no arrangement in it. All the things are piled up randomly without any rules.

Under the invasion of the long history, most of these spirits that have not had any protection measures have lost their due value, leaving only a worthless body.

"Ahem, cough, it's really a well-known utility room. The owner of the cave is probably used to store some discarded spiritual objects produced during the layout of the cave, and he hasn't put any effort into a simple rectification." Looking in front of him Zhao Shoushou couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment in the pitch-black and messy arrangement.

Of course, this is not to say that the number of spiritual objects stored in this utility room is scarce and the types are scarce. On the contrary, a large number of discarded spiritual objects almost fill up this small space.

If you want to find some useful spiritual things from them, I am afraid that you still need to spend some thought, and it is not a small project to identify and sort out these discarded spiritual things.

However, as the only gain from this trip, he doesn't mind spending some energy on sorting it out, and he doesn't even plan to share it with Griffin and Colorful Mercury Bull.

"Spirit treasures, array flags, talisman seals, and unhatched spirit insect eggs, unfortunately, all of them have lost their due value and become complete waste, with no value in use." Zhao Shoushou just took a look, and he had some understanding of the situation here. a preliminary understanding.

Just at the entrance of the utility room, there are three semi-finished spirit treasures, one knife, one sword and one stick, all of which are relatively common types.

It's a pity that under the erosion of time, none of his spiritual power has dissipated, and the spiritual consciousness of Lingbao has long since disappeared. It is even impossible to judge its original rank, and we can only make a rough guess. The spiritual materials used to refine Lingbao have lost the value of recycling.

The situation of the array flags is also basically the same. In terms of losses alone, it may be even more serious and miserable. Not only have most of the array flags lost their due function, but even the array patterns carved by special means have been destroyed. Without disappearing, he couldn't even make a basic judgment on the original purpose of the battle flag.

There are countless types of talismans here, but it's a pity that all the talismans turned into layers of fly ash with a slight shake.

Perhaps the only ones with some value are more than a dozen bottles of spirit insect eggs left. Although they have lost the breath of life and cannot be hatched, because of the protection of the jade bottle, they have not been completely solidified and can be used to Refining some special elixir or feeding spirit insects and spirit beasts can also play some due roles.

It's a pity that Zhao Shoushou currently has no high-level spirit beasts by his side, and these spirit insect eggs can only be used as a means of trading in the future, in exchange for some useful fifth-level top-grade spirit objects.

"It can also be seen from these sundries that the owner of the cave was quite careful about the layout here. I think he is quite satisfied with the cave before the sitting, but it is a pity that he did not expect the changes in the world. The preparation will lose its due effect in the end." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help muttering to himself after collecting more than ten bottles of all five-level high-grade spirit insect eggs in his bag.

"These spirit insects should be used as one of the protective measures to guard the cave after the owner of the cave was ready to hatch, but I don't know why I finally chose to give up and leave them here. I hope these spirit insect eggs are not from Zhao. Someone's only gain from this trip." With Zhao Shoushou's character all along, some spirit insect eggs that have lost their hatching function are obviously not enough to satisfy his appetite.

While Zhao Shoushou was trying to clean up the utility room little by little, the two monsters who were traveling together also had some gains. Behind the bluestone, the Colorful Mercury Bull also found an unopened cave, which mainly stored various jade slips. .

Most of these jade slips are mainly used to record some of the itinerary and practice experience of the owner of the cave, and some inherited exercises from different sects and families are mixed in, which should be used as a reference at the last moment to prepare for breakthroughs in self-cultivation It is necessary for the bottleneck, but unfortunately it did not achieve the expected goal in the end.

If Zhao Shoushou was here, he would be ecstatic about these gains. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, let alone a late-stage peak monk who is only one step away from ascension.

After a detailed understanding of it, it will definitely play an obvious auxiliary role in the promotion of subsequent cultivation bases, saving at least a hundred years of hard work.

It just happened to be discovered that the one here is a monster with a completely different inheritance. Perhaps it is a little exaggerated to describe it as a cow playing the piano, but the role of reference is only a little, and it can only really serve as a reference.

Of course, as the owner of the cave has elaborately extended the cave with special arrangements, in addition to some jade slips, there are naturally some spiritual objects, such as a piece of stone (specially used to suppress the spirit paper) and so on.

However, these harvests are obviously not satisfactory to the Colorful Mercury Bull, and it is also very insufficient for its role, far from meeting expectations.

"What use are these jade slips to Ben Mercury? Could it be that they can only be used to cheapen Zhao Shoushou?" Wucai Mercury said angrily, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

As for the Griffin, through some special means of inheritance, they discovered an underground spiritual material vein located deep in the cave. Naturally, it is impossible to mine it here. , Whether it is used to refine and strengthen oneself or to re-cultivate a spiritual vein, it is also possible, and it has never returned empty-handed.

"How can there be no gains in Nuoda's utility room? Two pieces of fifth-level high-grade spiritual materials"

Chapter 1122 The Deal Between the Cultivator and the Monster Beast

All the hard work paid off. After a period of detailed sorting, Zhao Shoushou finally found two pieces of fifth-level high-grade spiritual materials at the bottom with his persistent efforts.

Although all the earth attributes have no direct effect on him, the value of the spiritual material itself is beyond doubt.

It can be used to exchange some useful cultivation resources with monks, and it can also be used to exchange some useless spiritual objects with monsters. They can be used to strengthen the physical body after refining. In short, its uses are quite extensive. At least better than the dozen or so bottles of spirit insect eggs obtained before.

As for the use of the two pieces of fifth-order top-grade earth-attribute spiritual materials, Zhao Shoushou actually had some plans, and the effects could basically be displayed in a short period of time.

"It is well known that the Five Colored Mercury Ox clan attaches great importance to the strengthening of the physical body. This time, it is possible to exchange some valuable spirits from their hands." This is his real plan.

Since the Colorful Mercury Bull chose to act alone at the first time, it must have a very deep understanding of the cave and a very clear goal.

Then its harvest must be second to none, but after all, this is a cave inherited by human monks, and it is very likely to obtain some unsuitable spiritual objects.

On the contrary, these spirit objects are of great use to Zhao Shoushou. The opportunity for the transaction between the two parties is to reach an agreement here, and each takes what he needs.

And compared to the human monks, it is obvious that with the Colorful Mercury Bull, two fifth-order top-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for more spirit objects, reflecting higher value, and he really has no reason to refuse.

"This sundry room has been cleaned up, and this trip to excavate the cave has come to an end. Unfortunately, the harvest is very little, and it is far from meeting expectations. If Zhao returns to the holy mountain like this, he will regret it in the future, but it is better Take this opportunity to explore the depths of this endless jungle." Soon he had made up his final determination, and he also had a certain amount of psychological preparation and planning for the follow-up actions.

The Endless Jungle is located at the northernmost end of the entire cultivation world. For some unknown reason, the spiritual power here is also quite abundant, and there are also various types of high-grade spiritual objects required for various cultivation.

If we simply compare this point, it is even more suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Huashen than the holy mountain. The only disadvantage is that here, he can only barely protect himself, and once he falls into some dangerous situation, he will die. The danger also exists.

But for any monk with a firm heart, danger alone is far from enough to be the fundamental factor preventing a monk from moving forward.

In the world of comprehension, there are also some cultivators at the stage of transforming gods exploring in the endless jungle, looking for possible opportunities, and picking valuable elixir in the battle with monsters one after another. Later monks.

The holy mountain is the core of the human monks in the cultivation world, but this does not mean that all the monks are willing to be a part of it and be subject to heavy control. Otherwise, how did the old beggars, the late monks who attacked the holy mountain, come about?

Of course, Zhao Shoushou will not explore in the endless jungle for a long time like them, this place is only used to search for some elixir, that's all.

"Since the cleaning has been completed, it's time to go to the hall of the cave and wait for the appearance of the other two demon clan fellow Taoists." Zhao Shoushou left decisively after looking at the emptied utility room in front of him and confirming that there was nothing missing.

Since one person and two beasts chose to act separately at the beginning, the original agreement on the distribution of spiritual objects was naturally untenable.

He is not waiting here to compete for some possible treasures, but simply to conduct a small transaction, and there is no other purpose.

"Fellow Daoist Griffin has gained a lot, congratulations, fellow Daoist, I don't know what's the plan for the future? Do you want to continue to go together?" After about a stick of incense, the Griffin just appeared. If there is no breath, it is difficult to hide.

"It's just a fluke to get a mine, so what kind of treasure is it for Zhao Daoyou?" Probably out of confidence in his own fighting power, the Griffin seemed quite open-minded and did not hide anything.

As for Zhao Shoushou's inquiries and invitations for the follow-up itinerary, there was no response. If it wasn't for this cave, conflicts might have erupted before the original river.

This cave is the reason and the medium for them to continue to cooperate. Now that the goal has been achieved, naturally they will not ask for trouble and continue to cooperate with a conspicuous human monk in the depths of the endless jungle.

"Fellow Daoist Griffin wants to evacuate now? Aren't you going to see what Fellow Daoist Mercury Niu has gained? Maybe we can organize a trade for mutual exchange." One person counts the short and the other counts the long. The joint efforts can also form more strength.

"This Griffon joined halfway, so don't involve me in the grievances between the two fellow Taoists. The Griffin family has always only occupied a share of the spoils it deserves. I will evacuate first today. Fellow Daoist Zhao, take care." Accompanied by the voice With the disappearance of the griffin, the figure of the griffin has long since disappeared into the distance.

For this situation, Zhao Shoushou naturally expected and guessed in advance. It is not entirely a bad thing for the Griffin to leave. It cannot be said that if there are some uncontrolled changes in the future, it can be adjusted more easily. To a certain extent, it is also exempt. worries.

I don't know if the Colorful Mercury Ox was too rich to leave for a while, or it was hidden in a certain place and never showed up. Half a year later, he was still waiting in the dilapidated hall of the cave.

During this period of time, he was not too anxious, but instead waited here wholeheartedly, while doing a simple breath adjustment and strengthening of his cultivation base.

"Zhao Daoyou is waiting here so resolutely because of the priority to choose spiritual things?" One day after seven months, the slightly familiar voice of Wucai Mercury Bull finally appeared in his ears, but the tone in it was completely opposite Yes, the vigilance in it is undoubtedly revealed.

"Fellow Taoist Mercury Niu, why should you be in such a hurry? The treasures in the cave are all obtained by personal chance. Mr. Zhao has made a small fortune this time, and this wait is just for a transaction with fellow Taoist." Zhao Shoushou has no idea about his actions. Little bit of hiding.

Any monk or monster should be interested in the transaction. After all, whether the exchange can make some useless spirits flow and play their due role, there is really no reason to refuse.

"Trading? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhao found some spiritual objects that the monsters can use in this cave?" Sure enough, when he said this, the colorful mercury bull's big, round eyes were full of interest.

"Fellow Daoist Mercury Niu also wants to get some spiritual objects that are useful to monks?"

Chapter 1123 Exploration of the Endless Jungle

Zhao Shoushou is very sure of this point, and one can understand it from his tone. Obviously, he has sufficient confidence in the conclusion of this transaction.

"Zhao Daoyou is so sure that there will be a suitable spiritual object here for Daoist friends? Or will he choose to trade? If he refuses, wouldn't it be a waste of time to wait for such a long time?" With a slightly teasing tone in his words, he was obviously quite satisfied with the transaction and ready to agree.

"Since Fellow Daoist Mercury Niu came here with a purpose, his rewards are naturally incomparable to ours. However, this is a cave for senior monks of the human race, and most of the treasures in it are suitable for monks. Even if they are available, Fellow Daoists have to find them." It's a bit of a discount, so it's better to trade with someone like Zhao." When Zhao Shoushou said this, his tone was full of affirmation.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is as wise as ever, but fellow Daoist Griffin has already left?" The Colorful Mercury Bull lived in the sea of ​​clouds and dealt with monks of the late stage of Transformation God very frequently, and he was also at his fingertips for some tentative moves.

For it, if there is only one of Zhao Shoushou or the Griffin, relying on its strength, it can basically fight for seven or eight. Once a deal is reached for one person and one beast, it is naturally no match, and the end will be extremely miserable.

"Fellow Daoist Mercury Niu doesn't need to test here. Fellow Daoist Griffin extracted a mine in this cave and left half a year ago. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist wouldn't show up if he wanted to come." Zhao Shoushou was not in vain while explaining. .

"Forget it, since Daoist Zhao sincerely trades, I naturally won't refuse easily. I wonder what you plan to trade?" The topic of Wucai Mercury Bull changed very quickly.

"I don't know if these two pieces of spiritual material might fall into the eyes of Daoist Mercury Niu?" Zhao Shoushou has been looking forward to the deal for a long time. Now that he has obtained the approval of the Colorful Mercury Niu, he will not continue to dawdle. come out.

As expected, the five-colored mercury bull knows the details of the two pieces of spiritual materials, and they are both among the top existences of the same level. The key is that there are not many of them in the cultivation world.

Before that, Zhao Shoushou had only made a rough guess about the details of the two pieces of spiritual materials, but this time he got a definite answer from Mercury Niu.

From its name, it can be known that the Earth Emperor Stone is the real yellow of the earth, and it can be said to be the master of the fifth-order top-grade earth attribute spiritual materials.

This kind of spiritual material is not composed of only one element, but several elements with different natures are formed after a series of ingenious changes under the dual effects of spiritual power and time.

If this piece of earth emperor stone the size of a fist is used as spiritual material to refine spiritual treasures, the refiner first needs to extract each element and turn it into the most primitive form. It is precisely because of this that the owner of the cave did not use it.

On the other hand, refining the five-colored mercury bull can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Refining a spiritual material, different parts of the monster's body can be strengthened to different degrees at the same time, which must be obtained for it.

Breathing soil ore is a special spiritual material containing breathing soil. Breathing soil is called the ancestor of earth attribute spiritual materials. It can be used as a basis to evolve into different earth attribute spiritual materials. Its existence has always been only a legend. among.

There are different opinions on the reasons for the formation of the Xitu mine, but it must have been influenced by the Xitu at the beginning and combined with various conditions.

The Colorful Mercury Bulls are genuine earth attribute monsters, so they have almost no resistance against a piece of fifth-level high-grade breath-bearing earth ore.

The two pieces of spiritual material prepared by Zhao Shoushou were tailor-made for it. Once refined, its cultivation and strength will definitely have another obvious leap.

"Zhao Daoyou has a heart, I don't know what kind of spiritual item you are going to exchange for? Please just say it, as long as I have it on my cow, I will definitely not refuse." The answer of the colorful mercury bull seems to be sincere, but in fact there is a Small calculations exist.

"Tuhuang Stone and Xitu Mine are the spiritual materials that are ready to be traded, and their value is beyond doubt. As for the spiritual items to be exchanged, you still need to show your sincerity. The most important thing in bartering is that the value is similar and Does it meet the needs of the other party?" As a qualified monk, Zhao Shoushou naturally would not easily fall into this so-called small trap of trading.

And as a human cultivator, he has participated in various trade fairs, large and small, innumerable times, and when he changed his words, he kicked the ball back again.

To him, the Earth Emperor Stone and the Xitu Mine are just two very common fifth-grade high-grade spiritual materials. If they trade with monks, they can at most exchange for the same amount of fifth-grade high-grade spiritual pills.

Although to a certain extent he had some expectations for the reaction or the importance of the colorful mercury bull, there were still some gaps due to the lack of the most basic cognition.

"Since Daoist Zhao sincerely makes the transaction, I will naturally not hide it. This jade slip contains the cave master's practice experience and some precautions in the late stage of transforming gods, and the gourd contains a drop of fifth-level top-grade hundred water. Source, is this a good deal?" Seeing that Wucai Mercury Bull's Eye couldn't benefit from it, he finally showed a lot of sincerity.

Of course, the jade slips of practice experience are replicas, and the real jade slips left by the owner of the cave are still on the body of the colorful mercury bull. There is a certain difference in value between the two, but for Zhao Shoushou, it is also a masterpiece that cannot be missed.

As for the fifth-grade high-grade Baiyuan water, it can be regarded as a relatively rare fifth-grade high-grade spiritual water. Among the water-type spiritual materials, its status is comparable to that of earth-breathing mines. It can be transformed into several extremely rare spiritual waters based on this. It's just that the process is more complicated.

Judging from the situation of the two trading items, the Colorful Mercury Bull was obviously prepared in advance, and the two spiritual materials also had their own emphasis.

"Fellow Daoist Mercury Niu trades in good faith, so someone Zhao will naturally not push back and raise the price on the spot. The two pieces of spiritual materials will belong to Fellow Daoist from now on." Zhao Shoushou also seemed very straightforward.

In fact, this is the meaning of the transaction. Whether it is the jade slips that record the practice experience or the source of the hundred waters, for him, they are all spiritual objects that can assist the future path of practice. It is far better than the value of two pieces that can only be used as spiritual materials in the refining process of Lingbao.

"Now that the deal has been concluded, I'm going to say goodbye. The green mountains will not change and the water will flow forever. Daoyou Zhao, take care, and hope that the next time we meet is when you and I will ascend." The deal was successfully completed, and the Colorful Mercury Bull was equally happy.

"The exploration of the cave is over, and it's time for Mr. Zhao to start exploring this endless jungle. Maybe only here will he feel the pleasure of rapidly improving his cultivation base."
