I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 209

  Chapter 209 Palace gate

  The actions of the rock rat fell into the eyes of several monks present.

  The two fake Dan real people didn't care much.

  Every corner of this path, they have repeatedly explored, with little gain, and confirmed that there is nothing missing.

   Chi~

  The rock rat raised its paw and slashed lightly on half of the wall, and there was a tooth-piercing rubbing sound.

  The wall of the ancient building left a shallow crack.

  The hardness of the wall exceeds that of ordinary magic weapons.

  Seeing this scene, there was a trace of sarcasm in Tan Zhenren's eyes.

   "The ancient building materials in this ruins are relatively hard. But they are not high-grade materials, but the result of quenching and compressing low-grade ore materials and casting spells."

  Hu Zhenren explained a little impatiently.

"Um."

   Lu Changan has already seen this point.

  The buildings here, including the materials of the floor, are simply hard, with insufficient actual grades and lack of spirituality, so they are not suitable for refining and secondary use.

   "I trust the rock rat's sense of smell."

  Lu Changan smiled slightly, and walked to the half of the wall of the ancient building.

  Actually, what the rock rat did just now was secretly ordered by Lu Changan.

  Lu Changan took out a pickaxe, a magic weapon, and using his mana, he aimed at the wall and tapped for a while to dig.

  The ground rock mouse saw this, waved its paws, and slapped it.

   Bang! bang bang!

  One person and one mouse, rhythmically tapping and flapping in front of the wall.

  The wall is peeling off and cracking a little bit.

  Tan Zhenren's five monks had weird or disdainful expressions.

   Until a certain moment.

   Lu Changan's magic weapon, the pickaxe, couldn't hit a certain place on the wall, but was shaken so that his palms were slightly numb.

  The same goes for rock rats.

   One person and one mouse bypassed this small area.

"Huh?"

  Hu Zhenren had a strange expression on his face. After careful inspection of the area with his spiritual sense, he finally found some clues.

  Based on a preliminary judgment, the material of the wall is stronger, and even the monsters in the late stage of the second level cannot be hurt in the slightest.

  In addition, that area has a certain shielding effect on spiritual consciousness, so it is easy to be ignored.

  Lu Changan and the Rock Rat speeded up and knocked down all the walls around that area.

   Soon, a gray-white stone the size of a washbasin fell into Lu Changan's hands.

   Part of the gray-white stone reveals a dark and dark metallic texture.

   "What material? It can actually block the spiritual consciousness of this real person?"

   Tan Zhenren squinted his eyes, staring at the stone in Lu Changan's hand.

   "This is [Phantom Stone]! It can conceal aura and shield consciousness. It is an excellent material for creating hidden and shadow magic weapons."

  Miss Wei with long hair and gauze skirt swept away her consciousness, she lost her voice in surprise, and her pretty eyes sparkled.

   "It turned out to be [Phantom Stone]?"

   "The lowest grade of this stone is the third grade. This piece can deceive us many times. I am afraid it has reached the third grade, and it can be used to create a middle-grade magic weapon."

   Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu looked at each other, with emotion in their eyes.

   "Little friend Lu, it is still unknown whether this thing is [Phantom Stone], let me identify it."

   Tan Zhenren's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand.

   "It is undoubtedly [Phantom Stone], no need to identify it. This Wei girl is very knowledgeable, and she recognized it at a glance."

  Lu Changan smiled.

   "Show it to Ben Zhenren." Tan Zhenren said calmly.

   "Haha! This thing should be related to Lu."

  Lu Changan put away the [Phantom Stone], ignoring the fake spiritual pressure from Zhenren Tan.

  Renren Hu pressed Tan Zhenren's arm and winked.

   "Tan Zhenren should not be impulsive. Although [Phantom Stone] is rare, it is far less attractive to us fake alchemy cultivators than real alchemy cultivators."

  Hearing the sound transmission, Tan Zhenren suppressed his dissatisfaction.

  The fake alchemy real person can barely use the lowest-level magic weapon, and can't exert its real power.

  Common magic weapons in the world of cultivating immortals, like magic tools, are divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and extreme-grade.

  Applicable to Jiedan Daoist and most Nascent Soul Stages.

   Low-grade magic weapons, fake alchemy real people and real alchemy are mostly used in the early stage.

  Medium-grade magic weapons are generally used in the middle and late stages of Zhendan.

  Thus, the attraction of this third-tier top-grade [Phantom Stone] to the fake alchemy is mainly due to its value and scarcity, which can be traded with real alchemy monks.

   "Forget it, let him keep this item for a while."

   Zhenren Tan quickly figured it out.

  For the two fake pill real people, the biggest expectation in the ancient ruins is the opportunity to make the fake pill go further.

  This kind of opportunity is rare in today's world of cultivating immortals, and Zhenjun Yuanying has to cooperate.

  However, in the ancient times of the world of cultivating immortals, it was relatively easier to obtain opportunities for fake pills to go further than it is now.

   "Little friend Lu, it's your luck to find this [Phantom Stone], I will not pursue it for now. If it is a treasure obtained by breaking the ban in the future, it must be distributed according to the level of cultivation and effort."

   Hu Zhenren stepped forward and reminded.

   "Thank you Master Hu for your adult beauty."

  Lu Changan clapped his hands.

  He is ready for Zhenren Tan to force him to hand over [Phantom Stone].

  If that's the case, Lu Changan doesn't really care, the big deal is to leave it to the other party for a while.

  Before forming alchemy, [Phantom Stone] didn't have much effect on him.

  However, the [Shadowless Needle] and [Shadow Sword] made of this stone as the main material, including some hidden magical props, are very suitable for Lu Changan's appetite.

  In the previous life, when Lu Changan was in the late stage of alchemy, he spent a lot of money to get a [Phantom Stone], which was also a third-rank top grade, but it was not as heavy as this one.

  Because he had dealt with [Phantom Stone] and was familiar with its characteristics, Lu Changan only discovered the clue when he scanned it with his spiritual sense just now.

  According to Lu Changan's knowledge, the [Phantom Stone], which is the highest recorded in the world of cultivating immortals, can reach the fifth rank.

   "Go and search the neighborhood."

  In view of what Lu Changan had gained, Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu stopped, and led three Foundation Establishment cultivators to investigate nearby.

   "There used to be an iron smelting workshop in the ancient building near here."

   "The [Phantom Stone] discovered by Lu Changan may have been secretly hidden by the craftsman in the workshop."

  The two real people analyzed it well.

   But in the end, there was nothing to gain, only a few pieces of worthless refining leftovers were found in the underground ruins.

   "Xiaoyou Lu's mouse demon spirit pet, does it have the blood of a treasure hunting mouse?"

  Hu Zhenren looked at the ground rock mouse with a smile, feeling a little hot in his heart.

  That piece of [Phantom Stone] is so hidden, it has been hidden from the real person's consciousness, but it can be discovered by the rock rat.

  The Rock Rat shuddered and hid in a corner of the ruins, ignoring him.

   "Maybe it's a coincidence."

   Lu Changan said perfunctorily.

  The Rock Rat was just a cover, and he did what he did just now under his instruction.

  If not, Lu Changan himself discovered that [Phantom Stone] would easily arouse the vigilance of the two real people, and create more fear and defense against him.

  The next third of the explored paths.

  Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi are still stopping and checking.

   Zhenren Tan and Zhenren Hu became very patient and never urged them again.

  Where the ground rock mouse occasionally stretches out its claws to touch, it will attract everyone's attention.

   In the rest of the journey, there is no decent discovery.

  Finally, the group reached the end of the explored path.

   Stop in front of a bridge.

  On the other side of the bridge, faint waves of formations and hidden restrictions appeared faintly.

   Those relic buildings are shrouded in mist, hazy, like a mirage.

  Lu Changan smelled a hint of danger.

   "The fourth-order ancient remnant formation here, has Fairy Shi ever come into contact with it?"

   Hu Zhenren asked.

   "Strange! I didn't pass this bridge last time, but encountered a garden where there were relatively obvious loopholes in the formation. In the end, we got away with it after a long time of wear and tear."

  Shi Manrong observed the bridge in amazement.

   "It's normal. Arrays above the fourth level are beyond common sense, and can easily move the geographical environment. Some legendary arrays can even distort the spatial scale."

  Renren Hu looked thoughtful.

   "Little friend Lu, please release the puppet and explore the location as the old man said."

"good."

  Lu Changan set off this time, in order to overcome the formation restriction in the ruins, he prepared some worthless cannon fodder puppets.

  Having the life experience of his previous life, Lu Changan knew that puppet exploration is not a panacea.

   Some formations are prohibited, puppets will not be triggered, and monks get involved, it is a narrow escape.

   There is a sound of "Peng".

  An invisible orange flame ignited and spread on the puppet, and quickly burst open.

  The cannon fodder puppet whose hardness was comparable to that of a second-order monster was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

   "Little friend Lu, put another puppet."

  Lu Changan followed his word.

   Next, it is a long and boring way to conquer the formation.

  The ancient ruins inside the ruins, if attacked hard, will attract backlash and even various variables.

   This is something that fake Dan real people cannot afford.

  Lu Changan speculated that at least the late stage of alchemy should be overhauled before attempting to break the formation with brute force.

  If it is Yuanying Zhenjun, it is relatively safe.

   Click!

  The second puppet fell to the ground after being swept by several arcs of light that appeared out of thin air.

   "Little friend Lu, you are a puppet master, and you can perceive the state of the puppet. If you explore farther, pass some specific information over."

   Hu Zhenren ordered.

   Two months later.

  Lu Changan scrapped more than twenty cannon fodder puppets.

  The bridge in the ruins is halfway forward.

  The last two times, the golem has almost reached the end of the bridge.

   "Little master, the idea you proposed this time is good! Breaking the formation is not a one-way move forward, and many times you have to make a detour, or even retreat to advance, deceiving the forbidden induction in the formation."

  Renren Hu stroked his beard, his face was flushed, and he was in a happy mood.

  After Fairy Shi joined, he overcame the prohibition of the formation and gained an additional negotiator. Under the collision of each other's ideas, new inspiration was generated.

   The speed of breaking the formation has been greatly improved.

  Of course, this has to be Shi Manrong's formation skills, which is no less than that of Daoist Hu, so that one plus one is greater than two.

  At the same time, Lu Changan, the puppet master, provided a lot of convenience for conquering the formation.

   Tan Zhenren nodded secretly, the joining of Lu Changan and Shi Manrong really helped a lot.

  The remaining half of the bridge was conquered smoothly in only one month.

   Hum!

  A Zhang Xu long gap of white light appeared at the end of the bridge.

   This is the result of three months of hard work.

  Shi Manrong had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, and had to admit that this time the formation was broken, far surpassing the collaboration between her and Qi Zhenren back then.

  Decades ago, it took several years for Qi Zhenren to get close to the center of the ruins in order to break through the formation.

  Lu Changan manipulated a puppet in human form, passed through the gap of white light, entered the other end of the bridge, and walked more than ten feet without incident.

   Puppet is only a preliminary verification.

   "You, go in and find the way!"

  Tan Zhenzhen's tone became cold, and he pointed at the sixtieth old man in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

  The sixty-year-old man smiled bitterly, and was the first to step forward, pass through the gap of white light, and enter the interior of the ancient remnant formation.

   As a result, no accident happened.

  The remaining six people entered the other end of the bridge one after another.

   Tan Zhenren, the most powerful, is in charge of the rear.

   When everyone passes by.

  The white light gap is constantly healing, and soon it will not be able to pass through adult humans.

   After all, it is through the loopholes in the formation, and it is a tricky way to conquer and enter, without destroying the foundation of the formation.

  At this moment, the internal buildings of the ruins, which were originally misty, clearly came into sight.

  The ancient buildings in front of you are majestic and tall, with more delicate carvings and relatively complete preservation.

  In terms of structure, most buildings are residential mansions, as well as commercial and administrative places.

  Towards the center, there is a hexagonal palace, with a pair of halos suspended above the head, and a blue crystal ball in the center, releasing surging aura.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu."

  Shi Manrong murmured, and made eye contact with Lu Changan.

  Lu Changan immediately realized that it should be the place where "Renren Qi" fell into the trap of the formation and died.

"The building of the hexagonal palace building is the eye of the formation inside the ruins. Judging from the architectural style, it should be left by the ancient civilization race at the beginning of the ruins, and was later transformed by the Yuanying-level sect in recent times as a refuge. "

  Renren Hu has a vicious vision, and he can see at once that the hexagonal palace building is the hub of this relic.

  He had a guess in his mind. Judging from the array and the layout of the building, it was more suitable as a warehouse and treasure house for refuge.

   On the way to the Hexagonal Palace, I passed some ancient buildings, which were all empty.

   Of course, there is nothing.

  In some rooms and corners, you can see a small amount of sundries, objects left by people, most of which have been weathered by the years and are of little value.

  The girl Wei picked up a set of chess pieces in a courtyard, and after removing the dust, they were still intact.

   This chessboard is not like a magic weapon, but rather a strange thing.

  Lu Changan found something unusual on the top floor of a pavilion.

  The restriction set in one of the rooms has not been obliterated so far, and it continues to survive with the help of the ancient remnant formation.

   Peng! Peng!

  Lu Changan successively sent two puppets to test, but before they touched the door, they were smashed to pieces by invisible forces.

   "Don't waste time, that restriction is not something you can crack."

   Zhenren Tan said in a deep voice.

  The two real people were attracted by the hexagonal palace building, and there was a great opportunity to guess where the formation center of the ruins was.

  The surrounding buildings are, at best, remnants of low value, and the risk is not directly proportional to the reward.

  Lu Changan basically agrees, and temporarily abandons this place.

  Actually, he has a high-quality taboo breaking talisman in his hand, even a taboo breaking treasure talisman.

   This is one of his reliance on daring to enter the ancient ruins.

   Not long after, a group of seven people came to the hexagonal palace tower that was twenty or thirty feet high.

  On the surface of the hexagonal palace, there is an obvious array of light, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure, and the two real people dare not approach easily.

   "Six gates? The formation here has exactly six gates? Could it correspond to six different entrances..."

  A distance of nearly ten feet away, Master Hu was observing around the hexagonal palace building, staring at the golden and copper gates.

   Above the six golden and copper gates, there is a gate that only the formation mage can understand.

   "Little friend Lu."

  Renren Hu looked behind him.

  He frowned slightly, and found that Lu Changan was actually standing behind everyone?

  If the gap in the formation had not closed after the bridge was broken, and there was no escape route, the two real people would not have allowed this to happen.

"clear."

  Lu Changan took out another child-sized cannon fodder puppet, and under the instruction of Hu Zhenren, he came to a golden and bronze gate.

  The cannon fodder puppet touched the door with his hand.

  In an instant!

  A blue thunder flashed across, leaving a scorched black wreckage in place.

  The hearts of the two real people froze.

  Even if the power of the ancient remnant formation is only 10 to 20% of the power of the peak period, the monks of Zhendan can't block a blow.

  Lu Changan glanced at Shi Manrong suspiciously.

  How did the real Qi of the past temporarily break through a gate?

  Although Zhenren Qi is also a formation master, he is only a second-tier formation master, and his attainments are far inferior to that of Master Hu.

  Shi Manrong shook her head slightly, also puzzled.

   "Choose this gate."

   After discussing with Fairy Shi for a long time, Hu Zhenren and Shi Xianzi found one of the gates where the power loss was the most serious.

  The array gate is just above the bronze gate.

   Time passed by little by little.

  Lu Changan occasionally controls puppets, cooperates with conquering formations, and even does not forget his daily practice.

   Another month passed.

   Until this day, Lu Changan's cannon fodder puppets were exhausted.

   Several other monks also scrapped some spare instruments.

  After some methods of breaking the formation, the loopholes in that formation gate widened, and the power of the formation was slowly weakening.

   "It's too slow! The other five gates are connected to it, which will transmit the power of the formation and help it recover."

  Hu Zhenren was not very satisfied.

   Now that Liang Guoxiu's world has become a battlefield, the longer it takes to conquer this ancient relic, the more variables will become.

   "Little friend Lu, you are a well-known talisman teacher in Liang Guoxiao, do you have a high-quality forbidden talisman in your hand?"

  Hu Zhenren's tone was mild, and he turned around to negotiate with Lu Changan.

   "The practice of breaking the forbidden talisman is too difficult, and it is very rare. Lu only has a few second-level high-grade forbidden breaking talismans, and they were bought in Xiancheng."

  Lu Changan said in a difficult way.

   "Okay, everyone will launch the forbidden talisman in their hands, and attack according to the time node I mentioned."

  Real Hu arranged for a moment to ensure that everyone had something that broke the ban.

  Renren Hu has a taboo breaking bead, which is a sharp weapon for breaking taboos, better than taboo breaking talismans of the same rank.

  Tan Zhenren has a quasi-third-order ban breaking talisman.

  The rest of them have at least a second-tier high-grade ban-breaking talisman.

  Puff Boom!

  The distorted rays of light transformed by those forbidden objects, from weak to strong, hit the nodes of the gate in turn.

   Above the golden copper gate, white phantoms piled on top of each other, shaking for a while, until suddenly collapsed at a certain moment.

"opened!"

  A strong wind came oncoming, knocking several Foundation Establishment cultivators tottering.

  The two fake Dan real people stabilized their figures and looked intently.

  The golden and copper gate, which was originally as stable as a mountain, slowly loosened, revealing a gap, shining a pearl-like light.
