From the moment Wang Daoyuan was ambushed to the moment he finished off the black-robed old man, it had only taken him four hours.
It wasn't even midnight yet, so he decided to explore the black-robed old man's cave residence first and return to Mirror Iron Mountain at dawn.
When he was thrown to the stone wall by the python, he quickly scanned the place with his Spiritual Sense and found that there were many restrictions inside. There should be many good things inside.
However, he didn't dare to enter rashly. This old man had too many tricks up his sleeve. If he fell to the old man's tricks, it would be a great loss.
Wang Daoyuan couldn't understand how the black-robed old man could make wandering cultivators and demon beasts willingly die for him.
However, the black-robed old man was crafty, so Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to keep him alive.
It wasn't worth risking his life for curiosity.
Fortunately, there was a wandering cultivator with a low cultivation. He had two layers of defensive talismans and the Water Dragon Armor, so there was no need to fear a backlash.
In order to prevent this person from resisting, he could only tie him up and stick a high-grade grade one Truth Questioning Talisman on him.
The Truth Questioning Talisman could suppress the user's soul and make them lose their ability to think. They would answer whatever others asked.
Wang Daoyuan activated the Truth Questioning Talisman and slapped him in the face, waking him up.
Unless the power of this individual cultivator's spiritual sense had reached the level of Foundation Establishment, otherwise, he would definitely answer any question asked by the Questioning Inner Heart Talisman.
Wang Daoyuan asked, "What's your name? Where are you from? What's your purpose in coming to Mirror Iron Mountain? "
The wandering cultivator answered, "My name is Qi Yun. I come from the north of Huiyan Mountain Range, where humans and demons live together. Because I explored a secret realm left behind by a predecessor, I obtained an inherited cultivation method and had a conflict with my companions.
After being ambushed, I was heavily injured. My soul was also damaged, and my cultivation constantly fell.
I could only escape to the south of Huiyan Mountain Range to avoid being hunted down. Ten years ago, I coincidentally came to Mirror Iron Mountain. Because of my heavy injuries, I have been recuperating here. I only recently stabilized my injuries.
My body is damaged and it's difficult to recover. I want to find a suitable wandering cultivator to possess. "
Wang Daoyuan was a little surprised when he heard the rogue cultivator's words. This person looked to be in his twenties, not much older than him. Why would he call himself "old man" and say that he wanted to possess Wang Daoyuan's body?
That was impossible. Even the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't possess another person's body.
Only after reaching the Violet Palace stage and establishing the Violet Palace would one's soul be strengthened into a divine soul. Only then would it be able to exist for a long period of time outside of the body.
Only a God's Soul had the ability to forcefully enter another's Sea of Consciousness and carry out possession.
Could this old man be a Violet Realm expert?
That was impossible!
No matter how heavily injured a Violet Palace Realm expert was, his soul had already undergone a qualitative change, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be restrained by a first-grade Interrogation Talisman.
Qi's Qi's body's's body's body's Soul's's, Body body body body, Qi's a person, he's's's a body body ''s's.
Qi Yun replied, "Before I was injured, I was at the peak of Foundation Establishment. I relied on the inheritance I obtained while exploring a secret realm. There was a Divine Sense cultivation method that recorded the secret method to possess someone below the Violet Palace Realm."
... 'man's to' ''s,' ''s's's''s,'s to the point to ''s's,'s. Truth''s's, or he '' ''s Soul..
Although the soul of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator was extremely powerful, very close to the Soul of a Violet Palace cultivator, no matter how powerful it was, it still hadn't undergone a qualitative change. In essence, it was the same as a Qi Condensation cultivator's soul.
It was possible for it to fall to the level of a Qi Condensation cultivator if it was severely damaged.
What followed was a burst of ecstasy. A divine sense cultivation method that could cause peak Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight over, what kind of level was that? At the very least, it was much stronger than the Wang Clan's Soul Tempering Art!
Wang Daoyuan continued to ask, "Where's your's' Soul Tempering Art? What other treasures do you have? "
Qi Yun replied in a daze, "The 'Soul Tempering Art's' are in my Immortal's' Cave. Apart from the 'Soul Tempering Art's', I also obtained a few Magic Tools.
However, I was chased away by them, leaving behind only a high grade Tier 2 Brass Bell and a high grade Tier 1 Shield. "
Wang Daoyuan's interest was piqued. He only felt that the brass bell was very powerful and might be a Tier 2 Magic Tool. He didn't expect it to be a high grade Tier 2 Magic Tool.
Even though it was especially strenuous for him to utilize a level two Magic Weapon with his cultivation and Divine Sense, and it might even injure his soul instead, it was still not bad to use as a trump card.
Furthermore, this yellow bell was a sound wave attack. It was possible that it could catch an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator off guard and severely injure them.
Wang Daoyuan continued to ask, "There are restrictions in your cave residence. How do I get in?"
Qi Yun replied, "I have a bead in my storage pouch. It's the hub that controls the formation in the cave. As long as you refine it, you'll be able to control the formation in the entire cave."
Wang Daoyuan was in a hurry to go to Qi Yun's cave to look for a cultivation technique, so he was too lazy to ask any more questions. He threw away the Questioning Heart Talisman and stuck a Soul Subduing Talisman on Qi Yun's body. This talisman would keep him unconscious for ten days to half a month before he placed Qi Yun into his Spirit Beast Pouch.
He took out the storage pouch that he had just seized from the Spirit Beast Pouch. Sure enough, there was a fist-sized blue bead inside. There were also a few jade slips, but he didn't have the time to look at them.
Wang Daoyuan dripped a drop of blood essence onto the bead. He then used his Divine Sense to explore the interior of the bead and forcefully erased the Divine Sense imprint that Qi Yun had left on the bead. He then used his Divine Sense to leave his own Divine Sense imprint on the bead. The process was complete.
If the magic weapon wasn't in the hands of its owner, the Divine Sense imprint was like water without a source. The more it was consumed, the less it would be.
After successfully making the magic weapon recognize him as its owner, Wang Daoyuan quickly rushed to Qi Yun's cave residence.
He used his Divine Sense to explore the interior of the cave residence. He found that the interior space was very large. It seemed to be built using a natural karst cave.
He used his magic power and Divine Sense to activate the blue bead at the same time. The bead emitted a blue light. Wang Daoyuan thought to himself. The formations and restrictions in the cave residence were all closed. In an instant, the restrictions became dim.
Wang Daoyuan calmly walked in. He saw that the interior of the cave residence was very large. It occupied an area of more than fifty mu.
There were a few luminous pearls hanging above the cave residence. Although these were worthless things for cultivators, they were really good for lighting.
In the deepest part of the cave residence, there was a spirit spring. Based on the concentration of spiritual energy it emitted, he could determine that it was a low-grade second rank spirit spring.
The spirit spring was an undeveloped water spirit vein. But apart from its small size, the concentration of spiritual energy around the spirit spring was about the same as water spirit veins of the same rank. Of course, the amount of spiritual energy produced by the spirit spring was much less.
The amount of spiritual energy produced by this spirit spring was enough for an early Foundation Establishment cultivator and twenty to thirty Qi Refining cultivators to cultivate. This cave residence could be used as the foundation of a Foundation Establishment clan.
However, in Wang Daoyuan's eyes, it wasn't particularly precious. After all, the Jade Spring Peak was the clan's foundation chosen by the old ancestor. It had a mid-grade fourth rank spirit vein.
Moreover, the Jade Spring Peak spirit vein was a mid-grade spirit vein. Just the spirit eye of the spirit vein, the Jade Dragon Spring, was half a mu in size.
The Wang clan's protective formation, the Myriad Water Origin Formation, used the spirit vein as its source of energy. When the Wang clan was involved in the battle of the three great sects to destroy the Zhao clan, several Golden Core cultivators of the three great sects attacked for several days without being able to break the formation.
Later, under Yang Yong's mediation, the Netherworld Sect made concessions and promised not to destroy the Wang clan. The Wang clan submitted to the Netherworld Sect.
However, the Netherworld Sect didn't want their subordinate forces to have such a powerful formation. Thus, they destroyed the Myriad Water Origin Formation.
Although the Wang clan still kept the diagram of the Myriad Water Origin Formation and the method to set it up, without a fourth-rank formation master, there was no way to set it up.
Moreover, the Netherworld Sect wouldn't allow the Wang clan to set up the Myriad Water Origin Formation again.
In addition, the Netherworld Sect also extracted the spirit vein's source from the Jade Spring Peak, causing the spirit vein to fall to the third-rank high grade, making it unable to support Violet Palace Realm cultivators to break through to the Golden Core stage. It also wasn't enough to support the Myriad Water Origin Formation.
Even so, the Jade Spring Peak's spirit vein was still second to none in Clear Glass County. The main spirit veins of the Yang clan and the Liang clan were only third-rank low grade, and the main spirit vein of the old square in Clear Glass City was only third-rank middle grade.
Moreover, in the future, by extracting the source of other spirit veins and fusing it with the Jade Dragon Spring, there was a possibility that it could recover to a fourth-rank spirit vein.
The spirit qi of the Jade Dragon Spring was enough for more than ten late-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators to cultivate. In the past, it was enough to satisfy the cultivation of several middle-stage Golden Core cultivators.
Although this spirit spring couldn't be compared to the spirit vein of the Jade Spring Peak, it wasn't completely useless.
The spirit spring was an immature spirit vein and had a very high potential for growth.
This place wasn't far from the Heavenslash Mountain Range, and the spirit qi was abundant. In the future, it would have a chance to grow into a spirit vein.
The spirit spring water meandered in the cave, nourishing five to six mu of spirit fields. The fields were all spirit grains.
There were many types of spirit grains. The commonly seen spirit grains in the market were similar to millet. The spirit grains in Wang Daoyuan's spirit pearl were also of this type.
In addition, there were also grains similar to wheat and rice, respectively called spirit wheat and spirit rice. These three types of spirit grains all had different grades. In some large powers, there were also some second-rank spirit grains. In the past, the imperial family of the State of Zhao even had third-rank spirit grains.
In this cave, all three types of spirit grains were planted. The low-lying areas were planted with spirit rice, while the higher areas were planted with spirit wheat and spirit grains.
Spirit wheat and spirit rice were rarely seen in the market, and there were also very few people who planted them. Although the production of these two types of spirit grains was slightly higher, the requirements for the spirit fields were high. Moreover, the management of the fields was more troublesome.
Especially spirit rice. Among the three types of spirit grains, its production was the highest, but its management was also the most troublesome. The requirements for the growing environment were also the highest.
Not only did it require spirit fields, it also needed spirit spring water to water it.
In addition, it also needed to frequently draw and drain water.
The spring water finally converged at a low-lying area, forming a pool of about three mu. The pool water was cold and clear.
There were some first-rank seaweeds in the pool. They looked similar to mortal goldfish algae and shone with a metallic light.
Wang Daoyuan scooped up a strand of seaweed and carefully observed it, but he didn't find anything special.
It should be an ordinary goldfish algae that had become a first-rank spirit grass under the nourishment of spirit energy. He might as well call it "goldfish spirit grass".
This seaweed didn't have any medicinal value, but it was full of spirit energy and was good as food for spirit fish.
The Wang family's Jade Dragon Spring also had ranked seaweed, and it was a second-rank upper grade seaweed called Jade Dragon Seaweed. It was a special product of the Jade Dragon Spring and couldn't grow in other places.
Jade Dragon Seaweed could grow into a third-rank lower grade spirit plant if it grew for a long time. It could help aquatic demon beasts advance.
Legend had it that the dragon fish of the Wang family's ancestor was originally an ordinary second-rank spirit fish. Later, after eating the third-rank Jade Dragon Seaweed, it broke the bloodline shackles and rose to third-rank.
Moreover, the dragon bloodline in its body, which was already extremely thin, was awakened. Its talent soared and quickly rose to fourth-rank.
If it hadn't died in the war more than three hundred years ago, it was not impossible for a dignified dragon species to become a fifth-rank spirit beast.
Because the Jade Dragon Seaweed had such a valuable effect, the family's management of the Jade Dragon Seaweed was extremely strict. Except for the patriarch and the Grand Elder, no one was allowed to touch it.
Moreover, the Jade Dragon Seaweed grew at the bottom of the Jade Dragon Spring. Cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't go down at all. Wang Daoyuan had always wanted to steal a few, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability.
If the Jade Dragon Seaweed left the Jade Dragon Spring, the possibility of survival was not high. Even if it was lucky enough to survive, it wouldn't grow well.
Moreover, the spiritual field in the spiritual pearl's space at this time barely reached second-rank lower grade, and the spirit energy concentration was only first-rank upper grade.
Although the spiritual pearl's space was magical and couldn't be taken lightly, the hope of growing a rare spirit plant like the Jade Dragon Seaweed was still not high.
There were many pseudo-spirit fish in the pool, but they were all common species and not ranked.
Wang Daoyuan scooped out about half of the goldfish spirit grass and pseudo-spirit fish in the pool and put them into the fish pond in the spiritual pearl's space.
With these goldfish spirit grass, the Qing River Carps and pseudo-spirit fish didn't need to be fed by humans.
On both sides of the spring, there were about one or two hundred first-rank upper grade orchids.
It was a species that Wang Daoyuan had never seen or heard of. It should be a special species bred by this spiritual spring.
The leaves of this orchid were more than a foot long, like a long sword. There were quite a lot of similar orchids, so it wasn't rare.
However, this flower was quite strange. The flower shape was like a butterfly, the color was like white jade, and it also shone with a faint blue light.
When he walked closer, he could smell a delicate fragrance, which made him a hundred times more energetic. This flower fragrance should have the effect of waking up and even improving the cultivation of spiritual awareness.
He moved more than twenty orchids into the spiritual pearl's space and planted them on the edge of the fish pond.
This thing may have the effect of improving spiritual awareness, so naturally, he had to plant a lot.
In addition, since he found such an immortal's cave, he naturally had to go back to report his results to the patriarch and bring some evidence back.
There was a simple thatched hut next to the spiritual spring, which should be where Qi Yun lived.
The ground in the immortal's cave was uneven, and there were many large and small rocks. The only flat ground was the five or six mu of spiritual fields and the thatched hut.
If he cleaned it up, he could use the spiritual spring water to open up more than ten mu of spiritual fields.
If he raised some spiritual fish and aquatic spiritual plants in the pond, this immortal's cave could support an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and thirty to forty Qi Refinement cultivators.
No matter how one looked at it, it was enough to support a Foundation Establishment clan.
Moreover, this place was extremely hidden, and could be used as a secret base for the Wang clan.
In the future, if the Wang clan was in trouble, it could also be used as a refuge, and the clan's good seedlings could be brought here to take refuge. It wouldn't affect their cultivation, and they could regroup after the storm passed.
Wang Daoyuan didn't expect that he would have completed more than half of the unlimited mission just as he started.
The reason why he said it was more than half was because although this place could shelter most of the clan's cultivators and ensure that the inheritance would not be lost, it still belonged to the Netherworld Sect.
However, this place was still within the territory of the Netherworld Sect. If the clan needed to take refuge here in the future, dozens of people would inevitably leave traces behind.
If they were discovered, the Netherworld Sect would clear this place, and they would die. It was still possible to hide a few clansmen, but it was not reliable to send all of them.
Wang Daoyuan still needed to continue to the periphery of the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range to find a safe place for the clan to live.
