Chapter 85 The Surprise Brought by Gong Xin's Relics Zuo Qiu stood up, looking a little happy at first, then shouted angrily: "Idiot!" Even though his cultivation was damaged, he could still clearly sense the hidden mark on Gu Wenqi's body. He raised his head and looked into the distance through the hall. He could clearly sense two streams of energy coming rapidly towards the valley. Zuoqiu held Gu Wenqi under his armpits, then leaped out of the hall and fled along the cliff to the other end of the valley. After waiting for a while, they heard the sound of arrows firing from outside the valley, and someone shouted in panic: "The imperial court is coming to attack us, run away!" Li Shian and Ji Dai entered first. How could these cultivators who were only at the Zhenwu realm be their opponents? Facing the people from the Red Dragon Sect, the two of them would not hold back at all. With the movement of their hands and feet, streams of energy flew out. Even high-level Zhenwu warriors were killed dozens of feet away. Almost no one could escape. There are many hidden weapons and powerful crossbows in this mountain, but they are completely useless against the Taoist Fire Realm cultivators. In just a few breaths, there was no longer a single cultivator in the mountain except for the captured slaves.
Li Shian and Ji Dai did not stop and followed the aura. As for the valley, the people from the imperial court who followed behind would handle it. Zuo Qiu had a gloomy look on his face. He was running away while using torture to interrogate the situation in Beiquan Mountain. However, after a long time, he discovered that he had caught a mute and was about to kill him with a palm to vent his anger. In panic, Gu Yuanqi endured the numbness and soreness as if ants were crawling on his body and the stinging pain as if a bone knife was scraping him, and spoke in ventriloquy. But even though he revealed the secret, he still could not escape death. Zuoqiu smashed his head with a casual palm. "Grandmaster? Do you think I'm a fool? He's a tough nut to crack. No wonder they let him go down the mountain. It's obvious that they want to lure me into the trap." Zuo Qiu's speed was much slower than before, but he was confident that he could still escape easily. However, when he crossed a valley, his face suddenly changed. An old man in hemp clothes appeared in front of him without any warning, and a black ball flew towards him when he raised his hand. Zuo Qiu swung his sword, but before the sword force made contact, the sphere exploded with a bang, and countless sharp needles as thin as cow hairs covered the sky. These fine needles are all blue and soaked in poison, and can break through the true essence. Zuo Qiu was not careful for a moment and was actually hit by several needles. His whole body was numb. He shouted angrily and the Taoist fire burst out, burning all the poison. When he looked again, the old man in hemp clothes had disappeared. Zuo Qiu's face was gloomy. He felt that Li Shian was chasing him from a distance, so he quickly used his skills to continue escaping. He had a hard time along the way. The old man in hemp clothes used all kinds of hidden weapons and tricks, and even if he had a hidden killing move, he would retreat immediately after it failed to hit him. Zuo Qiu's escape speed became slower and slower, and finally Li Shian caught up with him. A great war began from then on. The fierce battle caused countless trees to fall down and rocks to collapse. Zuo Qiu burst out with Dao Fire to suppress the two of them, then turned around and fled! He was seriously injured and dared not fight for long. All his weapons were lost. Even the sword in his hand was at most a master's secret weapon level, which was not as good as the weapons in Li Shian and Ji Dai's hands. They chased and fled for thousands of miles, across the Chiyan Mountains. Finally, despite his injuries, Zuo Qiu burst out with Dao Fire and injured Ji Dai. He burned the essence and blood of his Dao fetus and fled for thousands of miles, finally escaping. Ji Dai, who was seriously injured and leaning against the rock, swallowed a gulp of liquor and smiled bitterly at Li Shian. These people on the trial were too difficult to deal with, and they were unable to defeat them even in this situation. However, after this battle, Zuo Qiu will not be able to fight again in a short period of time. However, it will not be so easy to find him again!
…… In Beiquan Mountain, Gu Yuanqing took out the storage bag from Gong Xin again. Some time ago, after he returned to the mountain, he had devoted all his energy to comprehending his own Dao essence. It was not until this moment that he suddenly remembered it. He wanted to use his true energy to open it, but found that it still didn't work. He then remembered the day when he opened Zuoqiu's storage bag. With this thought, he borrowed the power of Beiquan Mountain and used the method of controlling objects. Sure enough, the storage bag that had been impossible to open was easily opened. When his mind probed into it, his eyes suddenly lit up. The things in Gong Xin's bag are much richer than those in Zuo Qiu's bag. Even the storage bag has about five cubic meters of space. He still didn't dare to touch the bottles and jars inside, but the three scrolls of silk and a jade slip made him extremely happy. There were also dozens of thumb-sized crystal clear jades that exuded a rich spiritual energy. "Spirit stone!" Gu Yuanqing recognized it at the first sight, because there were similar stones in the spiritual veins deep in Beiquan Mountain. However, this is of no use to him now. The spiritual energy in Beiquan Mountain is enough for him to practice. He took out three books, namely "The Complete Collection of Basic Alchemy Medicines", "Record of Miraculous Herbs" and "Record of Strange Beasts". After taking a quick look, he immediately smiled. These things did not exist in this world. If he studied them on his own, perhaps he could identify what was in these bottles and jars. Afterwards, he used the method of controlling objects to take out the jade slip again, injected his true energy into it, but did not notice anything unusual. When he looked at it from the perspective of Guanshan, he only vaguely felt that there was a rune formation in it. After thinking for a moment, he placed it between his eyebrows, probed it with his mind, and immediately felt a surge of information flowing into his mind. “It turns out that above the Dao Fire Realm is the Divine Platform!” This is the first volume of the "Nine Nether Hell Sutra", and the magic formulas in it can directly lead to the Divine Platform Realm! Although it is inconsistent with one's own practice method, it can point out the path of practice. After a while, he finally memorized the method of practice. After opening his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Is the debt I owe her increasing?" A few more days passed, and the foot of Beiquan Mountain suddenly became lively. A team of guards re-stationed at the original position, but the entrance to the mountain was no longer guarded. Military tents were set up one after another, and the cave was cleared out again. After all, the seal of the demonic realm needed someone to guard it, or at least someone was needed to monitor whether there was any leakage of demonic energy. Some daily necessities were also sent up, and there were many books among them, which made Gu Yuanqing happy. It seemed as if life in the mountains had returned to its previous state. However, compared with the past, Gu Yuanqing spent less and less time practicing sword skills, and only used it to stretch his muscles when he felt like it. Gu Yuanqing's Taoist fetus is transforming every day, and the true essence in his body is becoming more pure and more spiritual. My spiritual strength is also increasing day by day, my understanding of the mountains is becoming more and more delicate, and I can feel the vigorous vitality of all things in the mountains. And in the past few days, what he studied the most was the Nine Nether Purgatory Sutra. This technique required the induction of the Nine Nether evil spirit to temper the Dao fetus, which was very different from Gu Yuanqing's path of cultivation. But after studying it, he had a clear idea of his next path of cultivation. "From the Dao Embryo Realm to the Dao Fire Realm, one needs to go through a calamity, which is the Yin Fire Calamity. When breaking through, the Dao Embryo will transform and attract Yin Fire, which will rise from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot and burn all the way to the Niwan Palace. One must transform the calamity into Dao practice and ignite one's own Dao Fire before one can turn danger into safety. Otherwise, one's internal organs will be burned to ashes, and one's limbs and bones will become illusions. The Dao Embryo will burn out, and one will die from then on." Around noon, Gu Yuanqing was just thinking about something when he heard a voice from outside the mountain: "Kuang Tongyi from Lingxu Sect is here to visit us. Please come down the mountain to meet him, Brother Gu."
