Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 204 Four Essentials Xuan Huang
This is my own way, and Liu Zhengyan’s words are indeed true.

Whatever Xu Heng needs, he should ask himself.

In fact, there is no importance among these three choices. Even the Xiaotianmen Talisman - the right to enter and exit the Xiaotianmen in the gate at will, is by no means insignificant. Its benefits to spiritual practice do not need to be described in any words.

But in comparison, Xu Heng still felt that the Xuanhuang Dharma Decree and the True Transmission Talisman Book should be more helpful for the path he was going to take.

As for which one to choose between the two?
Xu Heng carefully sorted out his thoughts, and after a long time his gaze finally settled.

Although a perfect Dharma instrument would be great, he still wanted to focus more on himself... Just as Liu Zhengyan said, this is his own path.

"My dear brother." Xu Heng calmed down and said solemnly, "I would like to choose the true talisman book."

"Oh?" Liu Zhengqi did not make any comment, but nodded slightly, then took the third tray from the incense table, took out the talisman book from it and handed it to Xu Heng: "If you have made sufficient preparations, just activate the talisman book."

"Disciple, thank you." Xu Heng bowed to the void before taking the talisman in his hand. He could not see what was so special about it, so he put it into his sleeve. He bowed to Liu Zhengqi again, thanked him, and then asked, "Besides these three choices, do you have any other instructions, Senior Brother?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother." Liu Zhengqi smiled slightly: "The matter here is not over yet."

Xu Heng was just wondering, but he saw him turn around again, take down the Xiaotianmen Talisman and the Xuanhuang Decree and hand them to him.

Xu Heng was surprised and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

"Dharma, wealth, companions and land are the four essentials for cultivation. How can one be missing?" Liu Zhengqi said leisurely, "Although Junior Brother has chosen Dharma, wealth and land are also indispensable."

As for a partner, as long as they are from the same school and share the same path, that's fine.

Of course, if all were given to Xu Heng, he wouldn't have to make a choice. Liu Zhengqi handed the two items to Xu Heng while explaining, "You can still choose a magical instrument from the Xuanhuang Fazhi. Of course, you can't enter the second level."

"The Small Heaven Gate Talisman is no longer an arbitrary power. It can only be used once."

Xu Heng couldn't help but be slightly moved. He bowed towards Xu Chu again, thanked his master for his kindness, and then solemnly put away the two items.

"Okay." Liu Zhengqi said, "This matter is settled. Junior brother, you can leave now. I won't see you off."

"Thank you, senior brother." Xu Heng bowed again, then said goodbye to Liu Zhengqi and left the ancestral hall along the same path he came from.

As I walked out of the palace, the sun was dazzling.

Xu Heng did not rush back to Yutai, but started thinking on the spot.

Among the three options for true teachings, he chose the true teaching talisman book, and could go to the master's seat to listen to the teachings, but that was for a period of three years. During this period, regardless of whether the master agreed or not, Xu Heng had to concentrate on his practice and not care about worldly affairs.

So before that, Xu Heng still needs to make some preparations, such as the Xuanhuang Decree and the Xiaotianmen Talisman...

He has no intention of going to Xiaotian for cultivation now, but maybe he can go to Xuanhuang Cave first.

Xu Heng thought for a moment and without further delay, he flew into the clouds, transformed into a streak of flying flame, and headed straight for the depths of Tianchi Lake.

Tianchi Mountain is extremely vast, and there is no shortage of forbidden and secret areas. Therefore, even disciples within the sect will not set foot in many places.

Xu Heng flew all the way until he looked around and saw nothing but unfamiliar scenery. Then he followed the direction in the decree and landed in the mountains. After a while, he finally saw a cave before his eyes.

Above the cave entrance, there are two characters "Xuan Huang", which are majestic and magnificent. Although they are just two characters, they seem to occupy the entire rock wall, and no matter where you look from, they will definitely attract your attention.

Xu Heng knew that this must be the Xuanhuang Cave he was looking for.

The entrance of Xuanhuang Cave is not big, but the cave is very deep. Xu Heng walked more than a thousand feet inside before he felt that the terrain was gradually flattening and the space seemed to become wider.

Why do I say "seemingly"? Because when we got here, everything around us was dim.

There seemed to be a veil in front of Xu Heng's eyes. He could hardly see his fingers when he stretched out his hand. Looking up, he could only see a dim light of goose yellow. Under his feet was a pitch-black road. No matter which direction he went, he could not find the end.

"Is this the Xuanhuang Cave?" Xu Heng vaguely guessed that the Xuanhuang Cave might look like this, but if so, how could he find the magic weapon?
He did not walk aimlessly, but slowly stopped to think. He tried releasing his divine sense to no avail, and then tried to search with his spiritual sense, but unfortunately found nothing. He had no choice but to take out the Xuanhuang Decree to see if there was any other difference.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xuan Huang's decree came out, there was a slight exclamation behind my ear, saying, "I was wondering where this little Taoist came from, it turns out he has received the decree."

Xu Heng was slightly startled and looked around, but he didn't see anyone. He only heard a voice in the air, calling out, "Don't look for it anymore. You can't find it."

Xu Heng understood what he said. No wonder he did not encounter any guards or disciples on duty in such an important place. It turned out that there was a master cultivating in the cave. He immediately folded his hands and bowed to all directions, and asked, "Disciple Xu Heng, I wonder which senior in the sect is here to meet you?"

"Don't try to be nice. You won't be able to please me." The voice laughed, "Since you have come here with the decree, go find the magic weapon yourself."

Xu Heng asked: "It is so dark in the cave, I can't see anything, how can I find the magic weapon?"

“Hmph.” The voice said, “This is the rule of the cave. If you are destined to meet a magic weapon, you will come across it. If not, you can come back next time.”

It turns out that there is such a saying about searching for magic tools in Xuanhuang Cave.

Xu Heng nodded thoughtfully, bowed and thanked him, and was about to set out again to look for him, but he heard a tut-tut sound in the air, and the sound was like a whisper, saying disapprovingly: "He is indeed not a smart boy. I guess we are not destined to be together..."

Xu Heng was not annoyed. Instead, he stopped and bowed, and asked, "I am afraid that I am not destined to be with you. I wonder if you can teach me?" "Hey, you are not stupid." The voice said, "It is easy to teach you."

"I've been suffering from alcoholism lately. If you can find some good wine, I'll give you some advice. How about that?"

Xu Heng thought about it and realized that he had a gourd of Hundred Flowers Wine from Tiannan on him, so he might as well agree to it. He took out the wine gourd from his sleeve and asked, "Senior, take a look at this wine. Do you think it's pleasing to your eye?"

"Oh?" The voice was slightly surprised and couldn't help but shout, "Bring it here and have a look."

For some reason, Xu Heng couldn't control himself and the wine gourd slipped out of his hand. It fell to the ground and seemed to sink into water, disappearing in an instant.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly had a vague guess about the origin of the voice.

After a while, a slamming sound was heard in the air, and someone said, "It tastes average, but the quantity is huge."

"Forget it, you've passed the test." He said, "Go southwest, there are magic weapons everywhere. If you still can't find it, you'll be unlucky."

After saying this, he immediately disappeared, but there was no response.

Xu Heng was speechless for a moment. So this could be considered as guidance? He felt as if he had been tricked into drinking a gourd of wine. But then he thought again, it was just an attempt, and it was not completely fruitless.

He bowed towards the empty space and walked away.

In the Xuanhuang Cave, the directions were not reversed. Xu Heng relied on his own perception and went deeper into the southwest. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a brilliant golden light floating slowly from the front. It was very eye-catching in the darkness.

Only then did he realize what this would be like when encountering a magic weapon in the Xuanhuang Cave. He hurriedly stepped forward, and the golden light did not intend to avoid it, so Xu Heng caught it in his hand.

Looking closely, he found that there was a scroll in the golden light. Xu Heng had no idea what was painted on the scroll, but there was a piece of talisman paper pasted on it, which recorded what kind of magic weapon it was.

"The Yunze Lianshantu has the Earthly Evil Restriction… the fifty-second level!"

Xu Heng's spirits perked up slightly. "Relying on the power of mountains and rivers, the formation is complete. It will block the sky and the earth, and isolate spiritual energy..."

It turns out that this is actually a magical weapon with a formation diagram. It can block the sky and lock the earth. It has wonderful uses. It can isolate spiritual energy and is the only choice for fighting with others.

Not to mention magical tools such as formation diagrams, if used well, they can create a variety of functions.

Moreover, there are seventy-two Earthly Fiends, and each eighteen levels constitute a Heavenly Rift. The fifty-two levels of Earthly Fiend restrictions in this diagram are already close to the best.

It’s just that... it has to rely on the momentum of mountains and rivers, so its scope of application seems a little limited.

Xu Heng thought about it carefully, and finally let go of his hand, letting the Yunze Lianshan Tu float away.

After seeing this picture, he suddenly remembered that he also had a formation diagram and a magic weapon in his hand, which was the "Liang Yi Xiang Yuan Formation" he got from Taoist Xiang, which was also quite magical.

Unfortunately, this formation requires two people to preside over it together to set up, so even though it is in his hands, it seems difficult to use.

As Xu Heng was thinking, he walked inside and came across seven or eight magical instruments one after another.

Although these instruments have different brilliance, they are all of high quality. There are copper lamps that can pour out a sea of ​​fire all over the sky, and talismans that can control wind and clouds; there are golden bells that can shake the five senses and shock the soul, and there are also mirrors that can draw thunder from the nine heavens...

There is even a top-grade flying sword that has nearly twenty-seven kinds of Tiangang restrictions, which can be said to be extremely strong. In terms of sharpness alone, it is probably better than Yanhong.

Of course, the gap would not be too big. Yan Hong had already refined the twenty-fold Tiangang Restriction when he was born. Later, not only was he refined to the twenty-second level by Xu Heng, but he was also refined by Taoist Tongtai, so the refinement would probably be even faster.

It can be said that Yanhong is not far from the twenty-seventh level of Tiangang restriction. Not to mention, it has all the Tiangang and Disha restrictions, and it is Xu Heng’s favorite flying sword, so he would definitely not choose to exchange it.

After bidding farewell to the flying sword, Xu Heng continued moving deeper into the cave. Suddenly, he realized that there was no way forward. He probed the hazy yellow light with his fingertips and touched the mountain wall. As expected, he had reached the end.

He didn't know whether what the voice said was true, or whether it was not so difficult to find a magic weapon after going deep into the Xuanhuang Cave. He came to the southwest and had come across nearly ten high-quality magic weapons along the way, but there was really no suitable one.

"Should I change direction?" Xu Heng was just beginning to have this thought. He turned around to look for the direction, but saw a ray of light floating towards him.

This ray of light seemed to have no colorfulness and it was hard to tell what magic it had, but it made Xu Heng's heart move slightly.

He took a step forward, took it in his hand, and saw that it was actually a sword case.

Xu Heng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had some ideas about the choice of this trip. No matter what kind of magic weapon it was, as long as it suited his ideas, he would still choose it even if its quality was slightly worse.

However, both the flying sword and the sword box were obviously very different from what Xu Heng had imagined, because he had no need to replace the flying sword, nor did he need a magical weapon that could only slightly enhance his swordsmanship.

Xu Heng shook his head, but still glanced at the talisman paper on the sword box, his gaze fixed on it.

"Taixu has the Mysterious Sword Box, the Earthly Evil Restriction... eighty-eight sixty-fourth level!"

There is actually such a magical weapon on the first floor of Xuanhuang Cave?
