Mortal Cultivation: Starting from a Casual Cultivator

"Be careful, the restrictions in the inner hall are very tricky, follow closely and don't fall behind."

Once entering the gate of the palace, the road began to fork, and several optional paths appeared, dark and deep.

The end points of several of them are where the teleportation arrays leading to the upper floor are located, and there are many twists and turns. The construction of the upper layer is almost the same, each layer has several teleportation arrays available for use.

Each floor is like a dark maze.

There are bluestone passages criss-crossing in front, and on both sides are tall and strict walls that reach the top floor. Gives extra weight.

There are not only powerful restrictions on these paths, but also high-level puppets refined by ancient puppet techniques.

Different from the modern puppet technique improved by Dayan Shenjun based on a little fur from the ancient puppet technique, Dayan Shenjun made the puppets, and the driving core was the embedded spirit stone; while the puppets refined by the ancient monks were refined through special refining methods. Technology, coupled with soul stones as energy to drive. The so-called soul stones are the crystal nuclei that will condense from the ghost beasts in the body of the true spirit Rahu with a certain probability.

In addition, after entering here, the spiritual consciousness also began to be restricted. And the suppressing force is very strong, even the spiritual consciousness in the late stage of alchemy may not be able to extend the effective thirty feet, far from the ease of the ghost fog area and ice fire path.

Wang Li and his party chose one of the routes leading to a certain teleportation array.

Follow the road map left by the predecessors, make three turns and five detours, and soon arrive at the first intersection.

When you get here, you can see a stone door carved with strange runes on the right. There is a faint white light flowing on it, which is obviously restricted. Going forward, more than a dozen of such stone gates were found one after another, most of which were shining with brilliance; there were also a few dull ones, as if the restrictions on them had been broken long ago.

In fact, it cannot be said that it has been cracked by someone. It should be said that the treasure inside has been taken away by someone, and the restriction has become restrained; there is no restriction of brilliance, it is just a reminder to the outside world. If outsiders want to open these empty stone houses, they also have to rely on the power of Xu Tian Can Tu.

These stone gates vary in size, the larger ones are more than ten feet wide, and the smaller ones are only about Zhang Xu.

The orientation is irregular, both in the southeast and northwest.

"Everyone, has anyone calculated how many stone houses exist on the first floor of the Xutian Temple? How many have been opened after tens of thousands of years?" Wang Li is still very interested in this.

"I'm afraid there are not many people deliberately counting the exact number, but I think it will not be less than 5,000." Yi Laodao responded with a smile.

"How many?"

Wang Li thought he had heard wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, don't think five thousand is too much. In fact, the Xutian Temple has been opened more than a hundred times in tens of thousands of years, and the remaining stone halls that have never been opened are probably less than half. After all, the alchemy period of entering the inner hall is not less Thirty people, apart from a few of them who were unable to break the ban and get the treasure but were trapped to death, there are more than 3,000 people who have been opened for more than a hundred times. And the rest of this layer who have not been opened still have nearly 3,000 people. Half, so the old man guessed at least five thousand."

When the old Taoist said this, he was full of sighs and fascination for the sages.

"What about the third and fourth floors?"

These two floors are the home field of the Nascent Soul Stage, and Wang Li is more interested.

"Together it must be more than the first floor."

Master Sanyang interjected.

He is familiar with this piece.

Qingyangmen's thousands of years of accumulated experience gave him full confidence. What's more, this is the second time he has entered the Xutian Temple. The last time he entered this place, he opened a certain stone house on the third floor.

"What a big handwriting."

Doesn't this mean that there are at least tens of thousands of stone houses in a stone tower?

You must know that the items stored in these secret rooms are not the ordinary goods on the first floor of the three main pavilions in the outer hall; the items stored here are the fine products left by several masters of the transformation stage.

In these secret rooms, there are spiritual herbs, ancient treasures, pills, puppets, talismans, spiritual materials, etc., all of which are high-quality goods. As long as you have the ability to break through the prohibition of protecting the treasure, you can take the treasure and send it away.

By the way, what's interesting is that the stone chamber on the lowest floor is just a single stone chamber, or a monotonous closed space with only a hall.

On the second floor, it evolved into a hall + private room arrangement.

There are things in the hall that depend on face and fate, and there is no need to break any restrictions, such as the eye of the spiritual spring where Yuan Yao and Han Li met, and the ten-thousand-year spiritual liquid that was bred by the large eye of the spiritual spring for tens of thousands of years. The private rooms are usually filled with rare things nowadays, such as Shenmu.

Of course, the private room with the Eye of Lingquan and the Yangshen Tree is quite special, it should be the most valuable room hidden among the thousands of rooms on the second floor. In other words, on the first floor, third floor, fourth floor, and even fifth floor, there should be such a most valuable special single room on the same floor.

And the higher the level, the more precious the things stored in it, and the more troublesome the protection restrictions are.

The first floor is suitable for the normal alchemy period;

The second layer is suitable for the late stage of strong alchemy;

The third level, at least the Nascent Soul stage;

On the fourth floor, ordinary Nascent Souls may capsize in the gutter after entering the middle stage. There have been many mid-term players who were violently killed by the internal guardian force without seeing the treasure.

Because after the monk entered the stone hall, no matter whether he took the treasure or not, he could not open it again, which was equivalent to welding the anti-theft door to death, and the Nascent Soul could not escape through space teleportation. Those who got the treasure were fine, but they were forcibly sent out of the Void Heaven Palace by the space restriction; those who didn’t get the treasure would be unlucky, they had to persevere in front of the guardian force until the end of the trial of the Void Heaven Palace, and then they would be forcibly teleported by the space restriction go out.

God knows how long you can hold on after being trapped inside.

The big hand that Wang Li mentioned is precisely those high-level puppets that make up the guardian system.

Even if only one is placed in each room, there must be thousands of them on the first floor;

The third and fourth floors are the rooms of the Nascent Soul stage, and the guardian puppets are naturally of the Nascent Soul stage.

There are thousands of them!

This is not a puppet in the alchemy stage that is still being forced to be activated by mid-grade spirit stones. The high-level puppets activated by "soul stones" as an energy source are really high-level combat power.

This is not a big deal, how can it be?

But at this moment, a dull heavy object fell to the ground from the opposite side, and then the sounds sounded one after another, as if they were rushing towards this side.

"Brother, the guards on the first floor are here. You have to be gentle, you can't disassemble it into parts all over the floor, and leave the whole one for me, my brother. We will still have great use in the future."

Wang Li reminded.

Dayan Shenjun's second Nascent Soul's eyes brightened.

He doesn't need a complete inheritance of ancient puppet art, just give him a few intact ancient puppets to study, it is enough for him, a master craftsman and a part-time puppet master, to reversely introduce the method of refining.

For Wang Li, Xutian Temple is a place of good fortune, so why not for Dayan Shenjun? The two of them came here to obtain elixir such as Xutianding, Dry Blue Ice Flame, Soul Nourishment Wood, Shouyuan Fruit, etc., and also planned to pack all the ancient puppets that would appear every time on the fourth floor of the inner hall. After all, the Dayan God Lord in his heyday could transform thousands of consciousnesses and control thousands of puppets at the same time.

If these puppets were ancient puppets at least in the late stage of alchemy, how dare Wen Liudao trick him into ambush him? At that time, the two sides will be black and white, and whoever will eat in the end may not be sure!

"Don't worry, brother, let alone the mere wolf-head puppets on the first floor, even the snake guard puppets on the second floor are only enough for me to warm up, brother. But you can prepare more of your Qianhua wine for me, brother."

While talking, Man Beard had activated the Tuotian Mogong, his whole body was covered with flowing golden scales, and his physical body was also raised by about ten feet.

After entering the detection range of the divine consciousness, Wang Li saw the appearance of the true master:

The ferocious wolf's head, the fangs and the sharp claws of the four limbs glowed with a sharp metallic luster. Although the body was only two feet tall, there was an icy black aura flowing all over his body.

While running, the hair moved with the wind, which was lifelike; however, after getting in touch with Man Beard, it became like steel needles, which could shoot out unexpectedly. There's nothing wrong with Man Beard, it's just that countless sparks have been stabbed out of the scales; but the subordinates in the formation stage at the rear are in a hurry.

After the close-to-body battle, these hairs turned into silk blades that cut iron like mud. The ordinary energy bondage of the pill-forming stage is directly cut to pieces by these knife-like hairs. Only the mana thread of the Nascent Soul stage has good toughness and can be effectively bound. Putting it in Man Dahan's place, there is absolutely no fear of cutting with sharp silk threads, and it feels more like scraping than scratching.

In addition, the wolf-headed puppet can also emit a kind of high-temperature black flame that is not much corrosive, which is far better than the ordinary pill fire in the late stage of alchemy.

The speed of movement is also extremely fast, much more dexterous than many monks in the late stage of alchemy present.

"Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes. The last trip to Xutian Temple three hundred years ago, when Qing was promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago, this wolf-headed puppet caused Qing a lot of trouble. It was quite a deep impression. Now I can see again that things are different from people, and things are different from people.”

Qingyi Jushi in the Confucian shirt sighed.

"Brother Man's Tuotian Devil Kungfu really lives up to its reputation. It is indeed the top magic skill that is the number one defense in the Star Sea. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to take it down without injury."

Wang Li's third Nascent Soul avatar also did not forget to praise it.

In this regard, Man Dahan said that he was very useful, with a strong smile on his face:

"Hey, if it weren't for some scruples, worrying about accidentally destroying this precious lump of junior brother, Man can blow up this wolf-headed puppet with just three or two punches; at the worst, three or five blows are enough to tear it apart Broken into pieces."

"Senior brother, if you don't have this ability, you are not worthy of being Wu's senior brother."

As soon as these words came out, Man Dahan instantly felt a sense of urgency.

He just remembered that the reason why he was taken care of by his junior brother was not only the love for teaching the Heavenly Demon Art, but also the conditions for cooperation with each other, and the use value that others could not replace.

This also made the follow-up journey, the dozens of wolf-headed puppets encountered along the way, were all suppressed by Man Beard very hard without damage, thus giving Wang Li the opportunity to pick the soul stone, re-sacrifice it, and quickly transform it into his own combat power. opportunity.

"Brother Dayan, how are you doing?"

As far as puppetry is concerned, Wang Li can't do it, and he himself is clear about it.

This one has to be solved by the Da Yan Shenjun at the level of the patriarch.

"If you want to analyze the refining method, seven days should be enough. If you re-sacrifice and put it into use, one day is enough for each one. Boy, have you found out? A lot of spiritual wood and spiritual materials collected in the Ice and Fire Dao have been processed by special methods. After refining, it is this extremely rare puppet material! How many have you collected in total?"

In the spiritual consciousness, the spirit of Dayan Shenjun was uplifted.

When Wang Li heard the words, he was even more stunned: "A total of 823 ten-thousand-year spirit trees of various unknown uses have been collected. Do you mean that we can imitate them in large quantities?"

"Yes, but not here. The conditions here can no longer meet the requirements of that special sacrificial method."

Dayan Shenjun felt a little regretful about this.

"what happened?"

Wang Li raised his eyebrows and his pupils flickered.

"Although this Void Heaven Palace collects free spiritual energy from outside the realm in the void all the time, it consumes a lot of itself; in addition, the vitality of the human world is gradually exhausted, not only can't provide it with supplements, but all the previous trials have been consumed. The vitality of the square space itself. Compared with ancient times, the concentration of heaven and earth vitality inside is much thinner, and the material is forced to be filled with that special vitality, and the finished spiritual material will not be very good."

Dayan Shenjun paused, but still gave a solution:

"If you want to refine this kind of high-level puppets on a large scale, you need a treasure land with a lot of vitality in the world."

"Can the spiritual veins on the thirty-six islands in the Inner Star Sea work?"

Those are medium-sized spirit veins of high quality.

"Boy, do you want to destroy those spiritual veins?"

Kill the chicken and take the eggs.

"The requirements for the initiation of heaven and earth vitality are so high?"

Wang Li's expression gradually became serious.

"Yes, if one hundred percent of spiritual material is filled with vitality, that level of spiritual veins is basically useless."

Soon, this road came to an end, there was a crossroads, and in the center was a teleportation array leading to the second floor. However, everyone was not in a hurry to go to the second floor, but continued to walk along the other three forked roads, all the way back to the entrance of the inner hall.

Along the way, another twenty wolf-headed puppets comparable to the powerful late-stage alchemy were harvested.

"How did Yuan Yao get to the second floor back then? That girl must be very lucky!"
