Ask about the Immortal Way

To the south of Wuchen State are mountains and uninhabited mountains.

Mortals don’t know that in the middle of those mountains, there are several huge mountain ranges that are extremely desolate. There is no grass growing on the mountains, no trace of birds and beasts, the stones and soil are all strange black, and there is a steady stream of black smoke floating out from the cracks in the ground. Smoke erodes nearby mountains and forests.

When I come here, I feel a chill, not only on my body, but also in my heart.

Qin Sang came from the air and landed on the flying shuttle. When he saw the endless "black mountain top", he secretly thought that calling this place a sinkhole was too unworthy of its name. The scope was larger than the Yinsha Abyss!

In particular, the entrance to the sinkhole is like a sinkhole smashed by a meteorite, with a diameter of several hundred feet. The dark hole faces the sky, and a stream of black sinister energy hits the restriction of the hole, and is blocked inside. Inside, like fish swimming, the bottom of the cave is pitch black, like an entrance to the Nine Netherworld.

Fortunately, the sinkhole is deep in the mountains and wild forests. If it had been closer to the small country next to it, I don't know how much disaster it would have caused.

Qin Sang jumped into the cave and immediately shuddered. His expression changed slightly. He had two magic weapons, Wenyang Bead and Shusha Dou, which were specially designed to target the Yin evil spirit. They could easily resist the Yin evil abyss. The erosion of the evil spirit caused a biting coldness to be felt in the sinkhole.

From the entrance of the cave downwards, the sinkhole becomes wider and wider. Some distance further in, the entire underground turns into a huge abyss, no less than the Yinsha Abyss. There are countless cracks on both sides of the abyss, like branches and vines, stretching out. Going further, all creatures within hundreds of miles are affected by the evil spirit.

Qin Sang found his own cave on the stone wall, entered and opened the restriction, and then regained some warmth in his body.

The cave was as simple and crude as ever. Qin Sang picked up the jade slip in the cave and put it between his eyebrows. He found that the jade slip contained the full picture of the sinkhole, focusing on several restrictions set by Shaohua Mountain.

It would be too expensive to completely block such a large area with a restriction. Shaohua Mountain only used a simple phantom formation to cover the sinkhole, and then blocked the larger entrances and cracks to prevent the evil spirit from spreading too quickly.

Due to the changing terrain, new large cracks may appear, and sometimes those restrictions are breached and damaged.

Therefore, Qin Sang's task is to inspect the entire sinkhole every two days, record all the changes, and report them to the master to prevent sudden changes and being caught off guard.

Qin Sang thought for a while and decided to go on inspection first.

He listened to the lectures at Shaohua Mountain for a month and benefited a lot, especially when he heard a master uncle talk about his experience of breaking through the threshold several times during the Qi refining period. Suddenly, on a whim, the bottleneck of the ninth level was loosened, so he hurriedly rushed come over.

This inspection actually took more than half a day. After returning, Qin Sang felt like he had walked around naked in a glacier. He sat quietly and practiced the exercises for a long time before getting rid of the coldness in his body.

After recording the changes in the sinkhole on the transmission note given by his master, he typed it out. Qin Sang sealed the cave, placed the Mirror of Confusion at the entrance of the cave, and began to retreat.

…

One month later.

Top cloud mountain.

Qin Sang, Sun De and some casual cultivators gathered at the top of the mountain to drink and have fun. Sun De planted many spiritual fruits in the medicine garden. Each kind was sweet and delicious, but Sun De still lamented that they were worse than the red jade peaches in Shaohua Mountain. Far.

The other casual cultivators all looked deeply convinced.

Qin Sang broke through to the ninth level and felt comfortable. He also agreed that when the red jade peach matures, he must return to the mountain gate to taste it.

Sun De raised his wine glass and saluted Qin Sang, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Qin for breaking through to the ninth level. Senior Brother gave me a thin wine as a gift. It is far less fragrant than the fairy wine brewed from the spiritual fruits in the mountain gate. I hope Junior Brother will not dislike it."

Qin Sang said he didn't dare and clinked glasses with Sun De and other casual cultivators one by one.

There is a long distance between Dianyun Mountain and the Sinking Cave, as well as large rivers and natural chasms, but this is not a problem for immortal cultivators. Since Qin Sang came to the Sinking Cave, Sun De has sent telegrams several times to invite him, but he has always been invited. Qin Sang declined on the grounds of seclusion and breakthrough.

This time Sun De came to visit in person, and Qin Sang happened to have a successful breakthrough, so he did not refuse.

It was only when I came to Dianyun Mountain that I realized that Sun De was worthy of the name of Timely Rain. Not only did he have an excellent reputation in Shaohua Mountain, he was also highly respected by the casual cultivators nearby.

Every once in a while, he would invite nearby casual cultivators to gather at Dianyun Mountain. He did not show any pretense of being a disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Even when facing casual cultivators with extremely low cultivation levels, he would greet them with a smile, which made people feel like spring breeze.

When it comes to spiritual practice at gatherings, whenever anyone asks for advice, he will give his advice without hesitation.

Qin Sang tasted the wine and listened, feeling that the trip was worthwhile. She secretly admired Senior Brother Sun and thought that it would be okay to come here often in the future.

After bidding farewell to Sun De and returning to the sinkhole, Qin Sang made a routine inspection. When he passed by a crack, he suddenly felt something strange in the crack. His heart was awe-inspiring. He immediately retreated from the wind, took out the Bibo Sword from the mustard bag, and activated the Tianxing. Tears covered his body, and he shouted coldly: "Who is this person! Get out!"

After a moment, a dark shadow flashed out of the crack, and he kept saying: "Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't be impulsive, it's me, it's me..."

When the man appeared, Qin Sang said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Hong?"

This fellow Daoist Hong was a casual cultivator named Hong Shan whom he met during a gathering at Dianyun Mountain. The two had just parted ways from Dianyun Mountain.

It was just a nod, but Qin Sang did not relax his vigilance and asked: "What is the purpose of Hong Taoist fellow Taoist Brother Hong not returning to the cave after the party and breaking into the sinking cave without permission?"

Hong Shan said with a smile: "Friend Daoist Qin doesn't know. The body-protecting magic weapon I refined myself needs to be tempered with the evil spirit, so I often go deep into the sinkhole. Fellow Daoist Wang who guarded the sinkhole before also Fellow Daoist Sun at Dianyun Mountain all knew the truth. When I was at Dianyun Mountain, I wanted to report it to Fellow Daoist Qin, but I was so drunk that I forgot about it. If Fellow Daoist Qin doesn’t believe it, you can ask Fellow Daoist Sun, he Can you testify for me?"

Although Shaohua Mountain has blocked the sinkhole, it does not prohibit others from entering to collect the evil energy. Those large and small cracks can enter and exit at will.

Many casual cultivators cannot afford to buy magic weapons, so they try their best to refine them, which can be said to be all kinds of strange things. The evil spirit is extremely cold and tempered into the magic weapons, adding some power.

Qin Sang has several top-quality magic weapons on his body, and there is no need to refine the magic weapons himself.

To be on the safe side, Qin Sang flew the talisman to Sun De for confirmation. After a while, he received Sun De's transmission talisman, confirming that it was indeed the case. Qin Sang stopped blocking him, nodded, and warned: "Fellow Daoist Hong, remember not to touch the forbidden areas. , if the Yin evil energy breaks out and hurts someone's life, neither of us will be able to eat and walk around."

"I understand," Hong Shan patted his chest, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qin, I just need to find a crack to collect some evil energy and leave. I will never dare to break into the core area."

Unexpectedly, Qin Sang did not see Hong Shan when they got together again.
