Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 125: Underground Gas
Wallpaper small world.

A furnace over ten feet tall stood on the ground, with a blazing fire inside that was red and yellow in color.

In the middle, a fist-sized green eye was floating in it.

Xia Chen's face was a little pale, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

But he continued to make hand seals and insert various forbidden spiritual patterns.

With the help of this lower-grade second-level alchemy furnace, he continued to temper the green eyes of the six-eyed golden toad.

After spending a full five days, it was finally refined into the size of a fist.

The energy and effort consumed in this process is unimaginable.

Refining equipment is mainly divided into two steps.

One is to use the special flame of the alchemy furnace to purify the raw materials, remove impurities and retain the essence.

The second is to insert various prohibitions, spiritual patterns, and even formations into it.

This is the most critical point for the magic weapon to exert its power.

Xia Chen cast the last ban.

Suddenly, the blue eyes emitted a dazzling green light, illuminating the area with a lush green color.

Then, the light disappeared without a trace.

With a single wave of his hand, the green eye flew to his palm. It was as round and smooth as a pearl, with green clouds constantly changing in it. It was very beautiful.

"Second-level mid-quality... let's call it the Jade Crystal Pearl!"

Xia Chen nodded with satisfaction.

It has to be said that refining equipment and drawing talismans have something in common.

But the energy required for the two is completely different.

A top-quality magic weapon would probably require several days, or even dozens of days of tempering day and night.

If one's own strength is not enough, not only will the effort fail, but the treasure will also be broken and the furnace will explode.

It may even cause serious damage to your vitality and foundation.

All around, there were five alchemy furnaces burning fiercely.

In front of the furnace, "Xia Chen" was also refining equipment.

The alchemy furnaces are all of the top-grade first-grade standard, and were refined by Xia Chen himself using the mined blue star copper.

As for the lower-grade second-level alchemy furnace, it came from Lingyun Peak’s elder Gu Ang.

Xia Chen walked to a nearby clone and saw a ball of blue-purple liquid metal constantly changing shape in the raging fire.

Finally, it gradually stretched and became the shape of a long sword.

This process requires repeated tempering and forging, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

Moreover, various restrictions need to be imposed during the refining process.

Different restrictions will result in different magic swords’ power and uses.

Each school of martial arts has its own unique skills.

For example, the Kongming Sword of the Liuyun Immortal Sect is particularly suitable for flying.

The Tianyuan family's Wanfa Sword has the Wanfa Guiyuan Sword Formation added to it. Once it is used, it can emit dozens of sword auras.

There are also the Cangjian Peak and Tianjian Peak of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, which are good at both swordsmanship and sword forging.

Sword shops were opened all over the Jin Dynasty, and business was good.

Xia Chen possesses the superpower of perspective and can see through the forbidden formations hidden in the swords of various families.

Naturally, one can take the strengths of all schools of thought and melt them into one.
-
the other side.

Wu Chongtian finally succeeded in reclaiming the land and named this third-level spiritual vein Yanding Mountain.

All the elders, deacons, and disciples of Chixia Peak were moved out of Tianyan Immortal Sect and settled in Yanding Mountain.

This aroused envy from several other Jindan masters.

Today, the fourth-level spiritual vein of the Tianyan Immortal Sect is becoming increasingly exhausted.

I'm afraid that within a dozen years, the area of ​​Tianyan Immortal Sect will no longer be suitable for cultivation.

Among the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are many second-level spiritual veins, but third-level spiritual veins are very rare.

The Six Peaks of Tianyan are equivalent to the six major immortal sects. There are many elders and disciples under each sect, and one second-level spiritual vein is not enough for cultivation.

Therefore, during this period of time, Mu Wen and other Jindan Zhenren were stimulated and went deep into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains to look for traces of the third-level spiritual veins.

There are only a hundred thousand mountains, with endless peaks, and countless strange mountains and ridges like stars in the sky.
It is not an easy task to find a third-level spiritual vein in it.

Qingzhu Peak.

Xia Chen took a yellow can and pressed it lightly. A pink gas spurted out and enveloped him.

Gradually, his body began to sink.

It was as if what was beneath my feet was not hard and thick land, but water.

Soon, it sank completely into the ground.

This is the item Xia Chen just drew at noon - underground gas.

This E-level item, after spraying it on your body, will allow you to see the boundless land beneath your feet as a river, and swim freely in it without hindrance.

It is equivalent to the ancient supernatural power, the art of earth escape.

This item is one of the few that doesn't need to be upgraded.

After the upgrade, the only thing you need to do is to increase the stealth time, so just spray a few more times.

Unexpectedly, the underground world was not completely dark.

Instead, it was gray, as if a yellow mist was falling.

In the eyes of Xia Chen, who possessed the superpower of X-ray vision, the mist seemed nothing.

All around, many stones of varying sizes were floating quietly in the air.

Some are even the size of houses.

Looking up, I could vaguely see the azure sky outside through the ground, and the dazzling sun that was too bright to look directly at.

In addition, there are many densely packed and tangled root systems of large trees.

The roots of some ancient trees are even more than a hundred meters long, which can be said to be deeply rooted.

The land around him was really like a river. Xia Chen pushed his hands to both sides and swam slowly forward.

I hadn't been swimming for long when my eyes suddenly lit up. I saw lush green trees in front of me, like a dense forest.

He was lying flat on his back, with his upper body exposed and his lower body buried in the soil.

Just like the suppressed Monkey King.

Xia Chen then returned to the mountain and went downstream.

Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

He saw the familiar Bibotan Lake, about an acre in area.

This is a common teleportation location, connecting Wanshou Valley and Tianshui City.

Xia Chen thought of the second-level earth spirit below the main peak of Ziyun Mountain Range, so he became determined to investigate.

The most common things along the way are the roots and stones that can be found everywhere.

Sudden.

In front of us, there was a flash of black shadow, about the size of a basketball, walking straight towards us.

Xia Chen was on full alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The emerald crystal beads that had been refined before floated above his head, emitting a green and lustrous light.

Although Qian Feng's ancient mirror was of a higher grade, it was not forged by himself after all, so he could not achieve the state of unity of mind and body.

When a real fight breaks out, the Jade Crystal Bead will be more powerful.

Soon, he saw the appearance of the monster.

It has black hair all over its body and two long, curved fangs on its mouth. Its hands are small and have many toes, making them look like a palm-leaf fan, but it can dig the soil very quickly.

Kind of like a mole.

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

This monster usually feeds on spiritual insects in the ground and is not very aggressive.

However, this also sounded a wake-up call for him. The underground world is not a deserted place. There are also many earth-type monsters. It is not much safer than the world above ground.

The Ziyun Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and it would take a day or two to swim to the main peak. Xia Chen tried to use a long sword, which was Gu Ang's middle-grade spiritual weapon, the Mingkong Sword.

The sword suddenly grew larger, dragging him forward quickly.

But not long after he started moving, he felt extremely strong resistance.

Everything around became extremely sticky, like a worm crawling in amber.

But when he slowed down, the sticky feeling was greatly weakened and the resistance also decreased.

This is a bit like non-Newtonian fluids, the higher the speed, the greater the resistance.

After some experiments, he found that the fastest speed of flying in the underground world was eighty kilometers per hour.

Although it cannot be compared with the ground, it is also very rare.

"Crash..."

A long underground river runs across the front, more than ten feet wide, with many bends.

The underground river is rich in spiritual energy and extremely cold, and seems to contain some kind of gloomy atmosphere.

There are also some spirit fish living in the river. They are not big, basically the size of a palm.

Some are even transparent throughout, like colored glaze.

The spiritual energy ahead was becoming more and more abundant, and Xia Chen knew that they were not far from the main peak of Ziyun Mountain.

About another cup of tea later, he observed the scene on the ground and saw that he had come to the foot of a towering mountain.

You can vaguely see white cranes flying, fairy deer calling, and jade rabbits running. It is a paradise on earth.

The master of this peak is Elder Zheng Yuan.

With Zheng Yuan's cultivation level at the middle stage of foundation building, it was naturally impossible for him to open up a second-level spiritual vein.

You must know that Lu Changyuan, the deputy chief of Sinong Hall, was at the late stage of foundation building, and only with the help of the treasured Golden Bell, was he able to successfully open up that pseudo-second-level spiritual vein.

Behind Zheng Yuan is none other than Master Mu Wen, the head of Lingyun Peak.

Although Master Mu Wen has not yet found a third-level spiritual vein, he has made preparations in advance and asked his elders to occupy a second-level spiritual vein in case of emergency.

Over the years, the second-level spiritual veins opened up by the Tianyan Immortal Sect basically have the shadow of a Jindan Zhenren behind them.

Xia Chen discovered that the spiritual vein was still deep underground by the slow flow of spiritual energy.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to dive down.

The further down you go, the stronger the sticky feeling becomes.

And the pressure on your body becomes greater, as if you have entered a field with multiple gravity.

Fortunately, Xia Chen has been using the old clam's pearl to temper his body during this period, so he is not afraid of these pressures.

The further down he went, the more he could feel countless spiritual energy slowly rising.

It was as if there was wind blowing upwards from deep underground.

I don’t know how long I dived, but it was pitch black all around.

Even though he had the superpower of X-ray vision, it was still a bit difficult.

Finally, he seemed to see a faint light shining below.

This seems to be a ball of light of a hundred acres in size, continuously releasing pure spiritual energy.

The ball of light is a bit like a jellyfish.

There are many tentacle-like branches extending all around, which are countless miles long and have no end in sight.

Xia Chen walked forward cautiously, stretched out his right hand, and stroked it gently.

It seemed like light and shadow, as if it were unreal. My right hand passed through it but I didn't feel anything.

Earth spirits can be seen as a special kind of "consciousness body", which is extremely mysterious.

It has no life or death, and its instinct is to absorb spiritual energy.

When the spiritual energy is absorbed to saturation, it begins to slowly release it outwards.

This process is just like human breathing, inhaling air and exhaling air.

The fourth level of the Tianyan Immortal Sect's spiritual energy stored in the earth spirit has been almost released, and it is time to start absorbing the spiritual energy that is dissipated in the air again.

Perhaps after thousands of years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years, the earth spirit beneath the Immortal Sect will re-evolve into a fourth-order spirit vein and begin to release spiritual energy.

The earth spirit in front of him was clearly illusory, without any substance, and not even a gaseous creature like the Somersault Cloud.

Very mysterious.

Xia Chen always has a feeling.

The so-called earth spirit does not seem to belong to this world. It is a creature from another world.

As for the light and shadow in front of us, they are its projection.

I just don't know how the owner of the cave was able to imprison a fourth-level spiritual vein of the earth spirit in the Red Maple Ridge Cave.

Sudden.

Xia Chen discovered that there were many long pieces of mucus in the space next to the earth spirit, which were earthy yellow in color.

It blended with the surrounding yellow mist. If it weren't for his amazing eyesight, he would not have been able to detect it.

This place is five hundred meters underground, and there are actually monsters living here. It's really terrifying.

You can tell at first glance that it is not an ordinary monster.

Also.

The spiritual energy near the ground spirit is rich, which naturally attracts many underground monsters.

This underground monster must have gone out to look for food and is not in its lair.

After all, we are underground and cannot exert our full strength.

Xia Chen didn't want to stay any longer.

So he flew upwards.

Soon they came out of the ground.

Then he hid his body and flew back to Qingzhu Peak from the air.

With the underground gas, Xia Chen began to open up the wasteland.

The Valley of Beasts occupied by the Beast Hall is only a first-level spiritual vein with average spiritual energy concentration.

This also leads to slow improvement of disciples.

He had previously learned through the newspaper date change mailbox that the leader of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, Li Shuijing, was indeed not long for his life.

He has been living in a secret realm deep within the Tianyan Ling Palace, trying to break through.

But based on the information hidden in the news, the possibility of a breakthrough is almost zero.

When Li Shuijing was still there, the six Jindan masters did not dare to make any unusual moves and served as the masters of a peak honestly.

But once Li Shuijing died, the position of the supreme leader would remain vacant.

By then, the Six Golden Dan True Men will definitely compete for the position of the head sect leader, causing a bloody storm.

Therefore, the Tianyan Immortal Sect is now undercurrent.

Now that Wu Chongtian has moved to the Shiwandashan Mountains, and the sect no longer has the support of a Jindan Zhenren, Xia Chen will naturally follow him out.

After all, he still had some hatred with Master Mu Wen, and if he stayed in the Tianyan Immortal Sect, he would undoubtedly be waiting to be found out.

Although he knew the locations of many third-level spirit veins, he had not yet achieved golden elixir, so he naturally would not show them to others for prying eyes.

Xia Chen took out a map with various levels of spiritual veins marked on it.

He needs to pick out a suitable one from among a number of second-level spirit veins, preferably one that contains spiritual minerals.

However, most of the spiritual mineral deposits are buried deep underground and are difficult to excavate.

After more than ten days of digging day and night by thousands of clones, the mineral deposit discovered on the outskirts of the Shiwandashan Mountains was finally fully mined.

Xia Chen used these minerals to create many first-level magical weapons of excellent quality.

The sales are good, sometimes we can even sell more than ten pieces a day.

But since you have chosen to open up wasteland in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you have to become the master of the peak.

Then you will have the ability to "open a palace and build a government" and can cultivate your own power openly.

The six immortal mountains of Tianyan have a long heritage and have accumulated countless wealth.

Xia Chen was a self-made man.

Fortunately, we now have underground gas, so we naturally have to choose a mountain rich in mineral resources as our foundation.
