After several breaths of time, the Bone Vulture destroyed the three fire pythons and carried the cultivator surnamed Wu away from the range of the Sand Flying Technique.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan had only escaped a little more than a hundred feet away.
For the Bone Vulture, this little distance was equivalent to the edge of its mouth.
As long as it flapped its wings a few times, it would be able to catch up.
Wang Daoyuan scattered more than fifty offensive talismans behind him and continued to escape without looking back.
The Bone Vulture was speeding up and chasing after him. The distance of two hundred feet was covered in an instant. Even if he saw the talismans, he wouldn't be able to dodge in time.
He used his Spiritual Sense to detonate all the talismans. The cultivator surnamed Wu immediately ordered the Bone Vulture to turn around and dodge. He also controlled his flying sword to break the spell released by the talismans.
The talismans had a very low hit rate when attacking flying targets. They couldn't be counted on to kill and could only act as a hindrance.
The Bone Vulture flew high into the sky. Both the man and the vulture were unharmed. However, dodging the talismans wasted a lot of time.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan had successfully reached the foot of the mountain. He put away his flying sword and landed in a place with lush vegetation.
He took out a Divine Restriction Cloak from the space and put it on. He immediately used the Earth Escape Technique and escaped to a depth of forty feet.
Then, he immediately fled east along the foot of the mountain.
Although the Divine Restriction Cloak couldn't be detected, that was under the condition that he didn't use any spells.
When he used the Earth Escape Technique, it was inevitable that there would be fluctuations of spiritual power. The Divine Restriction Cloak couldn't completely hide them.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to detect these small fluctuations of spiritual power even if they were standing directly above him.
However, if this cultivator surnamed Wu had a special method to find people, he might be able to detect it.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the ground, he used all his strength to escape east.
When the cultivator surnamed Wu landed on the ground on the Bone Vulture, Wang Daoyuan had already escaped more than a hundred feet to the east.
At such a long distance, separated by several hundred feet of earth and rocks, plus the Divine Restriction Cloak, even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to detect him.
The cultivator surnamed Wu searched the place where Wang Daoyuan disappeared for a long time but couldn't find him.
The method to track the Earth Escape Technique was not something that ordinary people could obtain. Naturally, he did not know how to do it.
The cultivator surnamed Wu was flustered and exasperated. He cast a spell and attacked the place where Wang Daoyuan disappeared.
After fighting for a long time, he finally returned to the Xuanyin Market, filled with rage.
Wang Daoyuan, who was underground, was also trembling with fear. He was not sure whether that cultivator surnamed Wu had left or not.
Only after traveling for over two hundred miles to the east did he dare to use his Divine Sense to explore the area above him.
Even if they were to penetrate more than four hundred feet into the ground, they wouldn't be able to probe too far upwards.
Seeing that there were no traces of the enemy, he was slightly relieved.
However, he did not dare to go out rashly.
He took out the Spirit Seeking Compass and activated it with his spiritual energy. The Spirit Seeking Compass released a beam of spiritual energy that scanned the surroundings, looking for a temporary shelter.
At a depth of over four hundred feet, he had traveled for over two hundred miles.
The huge pressure from the earth and rocks above him made him feel a little tired.
Staying underground for a long time wasn't a solution either.
Even if he had enough spiritual energy, his body wouldn't be able to bear it.
The beam of spiritual energy released by the Spirit Seeking Compass quickly returned with good news.
Through the Spirit Testing Compass, it was determined that there was an underground karst cave about a hundred feet to the right.
He immediately fled to the right and soon arrived at the karst cave.
The concentration of spiritual energy here was comparable to that of a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein. There would be no high-level demonic beasts nearby.
Wang Daoyuan was relieved. He could rest here for a while.
After being stirred up by the cultivator surnamed Wu, it was not safe to return to the Xuanyin Market. However, he couldn't leave the Xuanyin Market.
If he wanted to go to the Gui Water Nether Spring, he must have a treasure or magic weapon that could resist the Yin Qi.
Otherwise, he would freeze to death if he went down.
He had the refining inheritance left by the Five Elements Spiritual Master, but after all, the Five Elements Spiritual Master didn't specialize in refining, so he didn't have a deep understanding of various magic weapons.
In his inheritance, there was no mention of magic weapons that could resist the Yin Qi.
If he wanted to find a way to resist the Yin Qi, it was most reliable to inquire among the evil cultivators.
After all, they relied on the Yin Qi to cultivate. They were professionals in resisting the erosion of Yin Qi.
Besides, even if he knew how to refine this kind of magic weapon, he must have the refining level.
The magic weapon that could resist the Yin Qi of the Gui Water Nether Spring was at least a third-tier magic weapon.
Bai Sheng's limit was a second-tier mid-grade refining master.
To reach the third-tier refining master, he didn't have to worry about the inheritance.
In the experience of the Five Elements Spiritual Master, there was the inheritance of a third-tier refining master.
Refining was a cross-field craft that integrated refining, forging, and pattern. With Wang Daoyuan's level of elixir, talisman, and array, it was not difficult for him to get started with refining.
But to upgrade to the third-tier, it would take many years of accumulation.
To improve the refining level, he needed to consume various refining materials. Nearby, only the Xuanyin Market could buy a large number of refining materials.
To find the route to the Gui Water Nether Spring, obtain the method to resist the Yin Qi, and buy refining materials, all of these needed to be in the Xuanyin Market.
He rested for a while. After his body was fully recovered, he began to explore the karst cave.
For safety's sake, he first released the Soul-chasing Bees to explore to see if there were any demonic beasts.
After an hour, all the Soul-chasing Bees came back. There was no trace of demonic beasts in the karst cave.
According to the report of the Soul-chasing Bees, this underground karst cave was extremely complicated and had many forks.
They only flew out for more than a hundred miles and encountered dozens of forks. It took them an hour to successfully return.
The karst cave was eroded by the underground river. Where there was a karst cave, there must be an underground river.
The underground river would constantly erode the mountain to form a karst cave. The water would flow downwards, and the underground river would constantly erode downwards.
Now the karst cave here was extremely dry, without any sense of moisture, indicating that it was far from the underground river.
In other words, the underground river at this time should still be very deep down.
If this underground river could be as deep as the Gui Water Nether Spring, it would be easy.
If the depth was enough, there was no need to find a way down.
To go to the place where the Gui Water Nether Spring was located, the Earth Escape and the Water Escape were not reliable. The most reliable way was to dig a tunnel.
He had thought of digging a tunnel before, but outside, this trick did not work at all.
First of all, to dig from the surface to the ground, he needed to dig through many rock layers.
These rock layers were extremely hard. If he dug down more than six thousand feet, he would not be able to see the Gui Water Nether Spring without digging for a hundred and eighty years.
There was also the problem of where to dig. In the northern part of the mountain, in addition to the industries of the major forces, there were treasure snatching cultivators everywhere.
Digging a tunnel was such a big movement, would there not be treasure snatching cultivators all day long to harass?
This karst cave solved all the possible problems of digging a tunnel, and there was no need to consider digging through the rock layers.
As long as the bottom of the karst cave was deep enough, starting from the karst cave, directly digging horizontally, encountering particularly hard rocks, it was completely bypassed, and there was no need to gnaw hard on the hard rock layers.
Not to mention the concealment, the top layer of the karst cave was hundreds of feet deep from the ground.
The bottom layer of the karst cave, who knows how deep it was.
Even if other cultivators found this karst cave, it was fine. There were many forks in the karst cave, and ordinary cultivators did not dare to go deep.
There was no need to worry about other cultivators disturbing the process of digging a tunnel. The only security threat was the demonic beasts in the underground karst cave.
As long as there was no rank three demonic beast, the problem was not big, and he could still escape.
