Cultivation starts with time management

"It's okay, the probability of it happening is too small, and once it happens, it will be an unavoidable natural disaster, so we can only adapt to it."

"Shi Liuli somehow persuaded Elder Shi Ding to let her go with me."

"...What's wrong with this?"

Luo Yan once again calculated the plan for this trip to the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave in his mind, and basically prepared plans for every risk point—except for the intrusion of Shi Liuli.

Why does this young lady always follow me?Could it be that he really likes me?

"I have a premonition." Shi Liuli said seriously, "In the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave, there is a chance for me to skip the marrow washing and enter the Huafu."

"Senior Sister, did you use your metaphysics ritual again?" Luo Yan asked lazily.

"Of course." Shi Liuli said confidently and confidently, "In short, this time I will definitely be able to directly wash the marrow successfully."

"That's what you said when you went to Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm last time." Luo Yan deliberately reminded her, "As a result, you got a secret body training technique that you are too lazy to use."

"That was an accident! An accident!" Shi Liuli was furious, her face flushed a little, "I don't care about you anymore, you don't understand the meaning of 'the one loved by heaven', it's useless to tell you! Hmph"

She turned around to express her dissatisfaction, and at the same time clasped her hands together and shook vigorously in front of her chest, she began to mutter some incomprehensible words like "Sky Lingling" and "Earth Lingling".

Luo Yan didn't care about her either. Although this eldest lady always likes to pester him, at least she won't intentionally cause trouble at critical moments.

Considering that Wu Qi will stay in Yuandong for at least two months, the synchronization rate is also at risk of declining.

Once the synchronization rate drops, the characteristic of "A Thousand Enlightenments Once Hearing It" will decrease, so this time I will take Shi Liuli with me, and I will use her to increase the synchronization value for the time being.

Thinking about it this way, it would be a good thing for her to join in.

Luo Yan quickly convinced himself, and then continued to think about it.

At this time, the two are in a shuttle-shaped magic weapon, which is controlled by a certain Nascent Soul Elder in the temple.

The reason why I have to travel long distances in the magic treasure is to not reveal the location of Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave - this place is located in the extreme east sea, it is too far away from Penglai Yuqing Temple, it is impossible to send people to station for a long time, and it cannot be revealed It can only be kept strictly confidential if it is known to external sects.

Finally, the shuttle-shaped magic weapon stopped and released Luo Yan and Shi Liuli.

"Be careful after you enter the cave." The elder who manipulated the magic weapon urged, "If you find something is wrong, it is more appropriate to give up and retreat in time than to take the risk and continue to go deeper."

"Thank you for your advice, senior." Luo Yan saluted, and Shi Liuli quickly followed suit.

"Two months later, I will come here again to pick you up." The elder continued, "If you don't show up within three days, Guanli will think that you died inside."

"This is the eastern edge of the East China Sea. With your abilities, it is basically impossible to return to Penglai from here, so don't miss the time. Remember, two months!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped the shuttle-shaped magic weapon with his backhand, and his whole body turned into a jet-black streamer, disappearing into the distant skyline.

"Let's go." Watching the elder leave, Luo Yan sighed and said to Shi Liuli.

"Okay!" Shi Liuli became excited.

"Did you remember what I told you on the way here?" Luo Yan asked emphatically again.

"I know, I know, I listen to you, little brother." Shi Liuli smiled like a flower.

Luo Yan sighed again in his heart, he guessed why Elder Shi Ding would allow Miss Shi to follow.

If Shi Liuli wants to come here alone, Elder Shi Ding will definitely not feel at ease, and must arrange for a trustworthy person to accompany him as an escort.

For example, the last time the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm had arranged for elder brother Linghu Chu to escort the two of them.

Thinking of me, Luo Yan, how can He De be able to become someone Master can trust?So much so that you are willing to let me escort Miss Shi?

I think it was because my performance in the ruins of the Sanyu Treasure Ship last time was so good, in stark contrast to the big brother who couldn't do anything after the overturned car, that made my trust value in the master's heart increase rapidly Bar.

"In short, you must strictly obey my orders and act, understand?" Luo Yan repeatedly reminded him tirelessly.

"Yeah!" Miss Shi nodded impatiently.

"Let's go." Luo Yan activated the Water Sealing Seal, separated a water-repelling space with a radius of two meters around the two, and then jumped into the sea with Shi Liuli.

This is the sea water at the edge of the East China Sea, and the light transmittance is much worse than that of the East China Sea. The two of them just descended a few feet, and the surrounding light quickly became darker.

Luo Yan took out the magic weapon of lighting again, which was a hexagonal palace lantern, which shone brightly in the sea water.

After descending about several thousand feet, the two finally reached the bottom of the sea.

The seabed here is a lime-white rock face, which looks like a large plain.

In the middle of the plain, a stone monument stood abruptly.

The two of them moved forward quickly with their swords, and when they arrived at the stone stele, they saw that it was engraved like a knife and an ax...

It can't be seen clearly, it seems to have been corroded by sea water, leaving only faint dents, which can probably be distinguished as four characters.

Under the stone tablet is a deep sea cave that is hard to see the bottom.

"Junior Brother." Shi Liuli circled the stone tablet and asked strangely, "Didn't it mean that the location of the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave needs to be kept secret? Why do we have to set up a monument here? Can the monk not find this hole?"

"Maybe this monument was not erected by Yuqing Guan." Luo Yan replied smoothly.

"Who erected that?" Shi Liuli asked.

"Ancient monks." Luo Yan replied.

"Of course it's an ancient monk, so could it be a future monk?" Shi Liuli was speechless.

She still felt that something was wrong: even if it was a stone tablet erected by an ancient monk, it was found behind Yuqing Temple, why not remove this stone tablet?

It's just that Luo Yan was in a hurry and urged on the side of the cave, Miss Shi could only let go of her doubts, and quickly ran to her junior brother, the two of them held hands, and with the cover of the seal of sealing water, they jumped down from the cave.

Chapter 6 Your Wreck

After entering the hole, there is first a long, vertically downward tunnel.

After sinking for about a quarter of an hour, the terrain gradually turned downwards until two forked roads diverged.

Take the one on the right.

"Wait." Seeing that he was going to the right, Shi Liuli couldn't help asking, "Didn't father give you the jade slips that recorded the map? Don't you want to confirm it first?"

"Senior Sister." Luo Yan said helplessly, "Didn't you agree to listen to me?"

"I listen to you." Shi Liuli smiled sweetly, "If you say you must go to the right, of course I will follow you, but this does not prevent me from asking before you make a decision, right?"

"My answer is." Luo Yan threw the jade slip to her and said confidently, "The pathfinding steps of the entire map are all recorded in my mind, so there is no need to confirm."

Shi Liuli dipped his consciousness into the jade slip, and after a careful look, it was indeed the one on the right.

She obediently returned the jade slip to Luo Yan, with a slightly shy expression on her face, and whispered:

"I just subconsciously felt that I should take the one on the left..."

"We brought a map this time, so don't play with your metaphysical inspiration." Luo Yan said firmly.

Shi Liuli fell silent, and followed Luo Yan obediently.

Proceed to the next three-way intersection and take the middle passage;

Go forward to a pot-shaped cave, descend to the bottom of the pot, and walk through the melon-shaped entrance.

Go forward to a slope, don't go up the slope, go around to the back of the slope, and walk through the hidden hole next to the rubble pile.

According to the guidance on the map, Luo Yan followed the route with Shi Liuli, and couldn't help complaining again in his heart:

Although it has been known for a long time, what ghost is recorded on this map?Can't you measure and draw the path well?

After a day or so, Shi Liuli felt a little overwhelmed—it wasn't that she was tired, but that she was extremely bored by going through the cave tunnels full of stone walls.

Luo Yan thoughtfully stopped to rest. Anyway, according to the current speed of travel, it takes about 24 days to reach the chaoyuan energy channel deep in the cave, which is more than enough time.

Shi Liuli cheered, then found an open space nearby, took out the ingredients from the grill, and started preparing to cook, Luo Yan was dumbfounded.

Undersea barbecue is okay, thanks to Miss Shi who figured it out!

"If I hadn't accompanied you out this time, junior brother, how could you have eaten such good meat!" Shi Liuli was still complacent.

Luo Yan said helplessly:

"Senior sister, eating is really not a must for monks."

"Put down my skewers before you speak!" Shi Liuli said angrily.

The two finished the kebabs slowly, and Miss Shi took out a few fish with strange shapes from nowhere, and put them on the grill to continue grilling.

"What kind of fish is this?" Luo Yan frowned and asked, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

"It was caught near the rubble pile just now." Miss Shi said.

You dare to eat any fish you catch casually... Luo Yan quickly snatched one, and carefully inspected it with his divine sense.

Well, there are no toxins in fish meat, and obviously there are no predators in this deep-sea cave that need them to evolve toxin capabilities.

The only problem is that there is too much turbidity, and the content is much higher than that of ordinary meat.

In the past, the universe was as round as a chicken. Later, when Pangu created the world, clean air rose and dirty air sank. Simply put, the lower the altitude, the higher the content of dirty air.

If you eat it, you will definitely have diarrhea...

Well, there's no need to stop Miss Shi, just let her learn a lesson.

Luo Yan ate the barbecue in a calm manner, watching Miss Shi bake these white-eyed fish with degraded eyesight, and then enjoy it with relish.

She also kindly handed over one, but Luo Yan declined on the grounds that she "didn't want to try new food".

"Little brother, you are so timid." Shi Liuli covered her mouth and smiled, "I have checked with my spiritual sense, these fish are not poisonous at all."

Can it be eaten without poison?Luo Yan secretly smiled, pretending to turn his attention to observe the surroundings.

Ok?

His face suddenly changed, and he silently took out the jade slip that recorded the map.

Something is wrong!

"A Jing." Luo Yan asked in his heart, "something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Kunlun Mirror asked suspiciously, "Isn't it exactly the same as the one recorded on the map?"

"The problem is precisely because they are exactly the same." Luo Yan frowned, with a worried expression on his face, "The first version of the map jade slips were left by ancient monks, and later passed down in Penglai Yuqingguan. Each generation of monks will According to the actual exploration situation, the map will be revised and supplemented.”

"In fact, because the time interval between each exploration is much longer than the period of submarine earthquakes, the terrain of each exploration and the route recorded in the jade slip of the map are roughly the same in the outer layer, but the deeper route is different. There will be differences - which is why you can't rely on the map completely, you have to remember the way you came."

"But you see, we have already gone deep here, and there is nothing different from what is recorded on the map and jade slips. Isn't it strange?"

"If you want to say that, it is true." Kunlun Mirror said thoughtfully, "Could it be because there was no undersea earthquake between the last exploration and this time? So the terrain here has not changed?"

"The so-called submarine earthquake that changed the topography of Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave is just a conjecture, and there is no real evidence." Luo Yan sighed worriedly and said, "If it is said that this is a secret realm, the one that changed the terrain is the secret realm prohibition. Then why didn't the terrain change suddenly this time? Thinking about it this way makes it even more disturbing."

"Secret Realm Restriction?" Kunlun Mirror thought for a moment, "Wait, let me use more spiritual power to scan around."

After a while, she suddenly said in surprise:

"No way……"

"What's wrong?" Luo Yan asked quickly.

"I'm right below..." Kunlun Mirror said hesitantly, "Although it's very weak, it did scan the fluctuations in space."

"That fluctuation frequency seems to be... the characteristic of my body fragments."

"Did a fragment of your body fall into this cave?" Luo Yan immediately came to his senses, "That is to say, it is actually yours who has kept changing the terrain of Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave since ancient times and trapped many monks here. Body fragments?"

"Ahem." Kunlun Jing said awkwardly, "After all, I have time and space."

"Then on this trip to search for Chaoyuan Qi, let's find your corpse by the way." Luo Yan had just made up his mind, but saw Miss Shi clutching her stomach and saying, "Little brother, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. "

"Then senior sister goes to the cave next door for convenience?" Luo Yan secretly smiled inwardly, "Sure enough," showing concern in a hypocritical manner.

[Hypocritical character design, synchronization value +1. 】

"Yeah." Shi Liuli nodded in embarrassment, "But Junior Brother, you must not take this opportunity to leave me here and run away alone."

"How could it be!" Luo Yan immediately laughed.

Chapter 7 It's not my turn to dictate

Miss Shi went to the cave next door.

As a monk who has already fasted, abdominal pain must be an unprecedented novel experience for her. Luo Yan sincerely hopes that after this lesson, her mental age will be more mature.

At least don't be too greedy for food and drink, and lose the face of us practitioners.

Of course, educating Miss Shi is just a matter of convenience, the most important thing right now is to figure out the mystery of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Cave.
