Wei Dynasty Dingzhou, Longyan Lake.
A few days ago, Zhang Yan and Luo Xiao sneaked into this place along a river called Rong River. Zhang Yan's mortal inner Qi had already been completely transformed into Innate Yuanzhen, so holding his breath for a few days and nights was not a problem. They moved forward in the dark at the bottom of the lake bed, just to avoid the patrolling disciples of the Ying Cang Sect.
Fortunately, they were very careful along the way, and the direction they were moving in was not the focus of the Ying Cang Sect disciples, so they successfully followed the edge of Longyan Lake and turned into a rather secluded body of water.
This body of water was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so if they walked on the ground or flew in the sky, they would definitely be noticed by the disciples on duty.
With Luo Xiao's painstaking efforts as a guide, she accurately found the mark left behind, pulled on Zhang Yan's sleeve, and pointed downwards.
Zhang Yan opened his eyes and saw that there was a funnel-shaped cave at the bottom of the lake, where the lake water formed a small whirlpool.
Luo Xiao gestured for him to follow, and took the lead to dive down. The Snake Belle's figure in the water was even more graceful.
Zhang Yan followed closely behind, and as soon as his body got close to the whirlpool, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling his body down. He relaxed his body, letting the lake water bring him to the bottom of the cave.
After standing firm, there was a tunnel in front of him that led to an unknown place, but Luo Xiao had already disappeared.
Zhang Yan's hands stuck to the wall of the cave, and he swam deeper into the tunnel. Not long after, his body suddenly loosened, and he was lifted up by a strong force. With a splash, he emerged from the water, and found that he was already in a spacious cave.
Luo Xiao was standing on a stone platform not far away, waiting for him.
Zhang Yan jumped out of the water, and came to her side, but his expression changed slightly. He turned to look, and found that there was a white skeleton on the ground not far away. From the clothes and attire, it seemed to be a cultivator.
Zhang Yan immediately revealed a vigilant look, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that someone has been here before?"
Luo Xiao smiled lightly and shook his head, "No, I killed this person that day."
Back then, Luo Xiao had fought with a Mystic Light Stage expert from the Yue Cang Sect, and both of them had mistakenly entered this place. After a bitter battle, she had killed this person here. However, when she came out, she discovered that five disciples of the Yue Cang Sect were hurriedly swimming out, as if they had already seen the secret of this entrance.
Luo Xiao's killing intent was immediately aroused, and he pursued them all the way to the Azure Parasol Mountain's boundary. Only then was Ning Chongxuan forced to Zhang Yan's Immortal's Cave Dwelling.
Luo Xiao had already taken everything valuable from this corpse, so Zhang Yan no longer paid attention to it. He raised his head and looked around. He saw spirit shells wriggling on the walls of the cave, all of them sucking the essence of the earth veins. At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them.
However, Luo Xiao ignored these spirit shells and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, the Shell King is in the cave hundreds of meters below us, please follow me."
The entire cave extended downward in a spiral shape, and as they walked down, a damp and moldy smell assaulted their nostrils. The ground beneath their feet was uneven, and it was slippery. The two of them walked and stopped for a while. After a while, there was only a wide cave in front of them, and the surroundings were filled with a jade-colored mucus, but it was empty inside.
"Hmm, strange, this is clearly the Shell King's lair, why isn't it here?"
Luo Xiao walked around the cave a few times, and then went to the narrow cave that the Shell King usually resided in. From the remaining true dew in the surroundings, she could tell that this was the Shell King's lair. She could not help but frown, and she said, "Could this be a Sun Shell?"
Zhang Yan asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, what is a Sun Shell?"
Luo Xiao explained, "Shells are divided into Yin and Yang. Yin shells like to stay still and do not like to move. Even though they can travel in the cave, they will not easily move unless there is a strong enemy. Sun shells are different, and they like to migrate. After staying in one cave for a year or so, they will move to another lair. Seeing that there are only about ten thousand spirit shells outside, this Shell King must have lived here for a long time."
Zhang Yan went forward and touched the semi-solid substance that looked like pine resin on the cave wall, and he said, "Is this true dew?"
Luo Xiao was a little dispirited, and she sighed, "It is true dew, but looking at the color of this true dew, it has been around for a day. It can be used to open the meridians, but it will still lose a lot of essence. It is best to absorb true dew within a moment."
"Only a day? This means that the Shell King has not gone far. "
As Zhang Yan spoke, he unintentionally exerted force, and with a "chi" sound, he was surprised to find that his arm had actually passed through the thick layer of cream on the cave wall.
His eyes flashed, and he took two steps back. After taking a few glances, he went forward and tried to drill in again. He found that there was nothing blocking in the depths, so he simply exerted force, and his whole body was actually swallowed inside.
Luo Xiao had been watching Zhang Yan's actions, but she found that he did not come out for a long time. Her expression unconsciously tightened, and she called out, "Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
With a "chi" sound, Zhang Yan, who was covered in the true dew cream, came out from inside. He smiled at Luo Xiao, and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, it seems that there is another world behind this cave!"
Just as the two of them went deep into the cave, a cloud-occupying flying boat landed on the Ying Cloud Shell Field occupied by the Ying Cang Sect.
After a group of more than sixty people came down from the flying boat, Du You took out a absorbing tablet, and with a wave, the entire flying boat turned into a small boat the size of a square inch, and he kept it in his sleeve.
When the two Clear Qi Stage disciples who were in charge of guarding the shell field saw this, they immediately came up and scolded, "Who are you? Tell us your names! "
Du You saw that the tone of these two people was not friendly, and he was about to flare up, but Du Bo pulled him back, and went forward to cup his hands, "I am Du Bo, this is the eldest disciple of the lower house, Du You. We have specially come here to find the shell king to open the meridians, I wonder if the two of you on duty have received the order from the sect master?"
"So it is the disciples of the Du clan." The expressions of the two people eased up a lot, and one of them said with his hands cupped, "The sect master has already instructed that if you come, there is no need to stop you. Since this is the case, please do as you please, we are on duty, so we will not accompany you."
Du Bo smiled, "Please do as you please."
Seeing the two of them walk away, Du You snorted, and said, "They are just two disciples of the Clear Qi Stage, why is Uncle Bo so polite to them?"
Du Bo smiled and did not say anything. Du You had the support of the Du clan, so of course he could do whatever he wanted, but he could not do the same.
If he could not offend anyone, he would try his best not to offend anyone. Who knew who was standing behind these two disciples? However, there was no need to explain these principles to Du You. From his point of view, Du You's temperament was not stable, and when he suffered on the path of cultivation, he would naturally restrain himself.
The Lustrous Cloud Shell Field was backed by the ring-shaped Daoli Mountain, and in front of it was the mighty Longyan Lake. The river flowed around the mountain, and looking from the sky, the entire shell field seemed to be surrounded by the two, like a lonely land.
Although it looked like it occupied a large area, the cave entrance of the shell field was actually only ten feet in size. When Du You saw it, the corner of his mouth twitched in disdain.
At this point, the servants could only stay outside.
Before entering, Du Bo respectfully bowed to the top of the cave where there was no one, and Du You did not really understand.
Du Bo did not say anything, and went straight into the cave. Du You hurriedly followed, and behind him were two Clear Qi Stage disciples and ten strong men.
Not long after, the view in front of them suddenly opened up, and they saw that there was a steep slope on the ground, and on both sides were stone patterns that looked like folds. In front of them was a sunken basin, with a width of more than a hundred feet and a height of more than ten feet. It looked like a flat spoon.
As far as the eye could see, there were densely packed spirit shells, and the sparkling and translucent light flickered, like the twinkling stars in the sky.
"This is the shell field?"
Du You's breathing was slightly heavy. Although he was from an aristocratic family, and spirit shells were not rare to him, when he saw more than a million spirit shells gathered together, he could not help but feel shocked.
"Although this item is good, it does not belong to us." Du Bo patted Du You's head, "When nephew's cultivation is successful in the future, you can take whatever you want from these spirit shells."
Du You nodded his head seriously, and said, "Uncle Bo is right." He clenched his fists, and thought to himself, "One day, the owner of this place will definitely be me."
Du Bo smiled, and walked into the depths of the cave with his hands behind his back.
After walking for about an hour, the group reached the bottom of the cave.
But what was strange was that after searching the entire cave, they actually did not see the shell king?
Du Bo frowned, and he thought to himself while stroking his beard, "Strange, why is the shell king not in its nest? Could it be a sun shell? But the shell field is so big, and it has been fighting with the three lake demons for more than ten years, so it can't be a sun shell. "
At this moment, a strong man suddenly shouted, "Mister Du, there is an empty cave here, but I don't know where it leads to."
"Oh?" Du Bo quickly walked over, and pushed away the obstructing true dew in front of him. After taking a closer look, his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to have thought of something. He could not help but chuckle, and he turned to Du You and said, "Nephew, if I am not wrong, it should be your opportunity!"
Du You was puzzled, and he asked, "Uncle Bo, what do you mean?"
Du Bo did not point it out, and he only pointed at the acupuncture point, and said with a smile, "Just follow me."
He lowered his head and walked into the empty cave.
The path was dark, and no one knew where it led to. After walking for a few miles, Du Bo suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
He listened for a while, and said in a low voice, "You wait here, I will go ahead and see what is going on."
His feet didn't touch the ground. Instead, he rode the mystic light and slowly approached the exit in front of him. When he came out of the hole quietly, he found that in front of him was a wide cave that was more than a hundred feet high. Below it, he saw two Shell Kings at a glance!
They were only a foot in size, and there was a layer of silver-white soft flesh under their abdomen. Their bone shells looked like they were made of crystal, and they were translucent and bright. The flesh and organs inside were clearly visible, and they gave people a feeling of agility and lightness. The soft light emitted from their bodies actually lit up the whole cave.
However, at this moment, they were all gathered in front of a low Acupuncture Point. From Du Bo's point of view, he could see that it was filled with True Dew Dew, and there seemed to be some tiny things squirming inside.
"Good, good, good, I was not wrong, it is indeed the Yin Yang Double Shell Kings!"
Du Bo stared at the two slightly uneasy shell kings, and he secretly sneered, "Harmonizing Yin and Yang, giving birth to the shell Xuan Bead, what a good plan! The shell contains the essence of the earth vein, once it breaks out of the bead, it will definitely be able to get rid of the demon shell, and turn into a human. After another hundred years of cultivation, there will definitely be another great demon among the demon race! Hmph, you actually want to deceive the heaven's secrets, you deserve this calamity in your life! "
"If my nephew swallowed this bead, he will definitely be able to condense the best meridian in the world!"
Du Bo did not look anymore, and he turned to leave. But because of his agitation, he did not notice that on the opposite wall, there seemed to be two figures flashing by.
