Chapter 484: First Meeting with Chiyanju (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
On the jade slips provided by the Soul Refining Sect, the two active volcanoes have no specific names. Perhaps due to the limitations of the Soul Refining Sect's own inherited skills, the situation of the volcanoes is only roughly described.
Compared with the clear description of Lingshen Mountain, the active volcano here can be said to be just a passing mention, with only a small amount of description, and most of them are observed from a distance.
"Since you need a relatively safe and spiritually sufficient place to retreat, this sparsely populated volcano is the best choice."
Of course, the specific situation needs to be further understood before the final decision can be made.
In addition, if the situation recorded by the Soul Refining Sect is true, and there have been no other obvious changes in the past long time, there is a high probability that there are a large number of powerful monsters living here.
Sun Mingsheng appeared here as an obviously unfamiliar breath. The first thing he needed to expel or hunt was these indigenous monsters. There was a natural competitive relationship between the two sides, and it was impossible to effectively ease it.
The distance between the volcano and Lingshen Mountain is not that close, they are completely in opposite positions. It is not an easy task to cross such a long distance in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that are different from other places.
Fortunately, Sun Mingsheng is a genuine eighth-level foundation-building cultivator, and his strength has been consolidated bit by bit along the way, without any opportunism.
As long as he does not face a third-level monster on the way to the active volcano, even if he is defeated, he can ensure his own safety.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, in the secret place deep in the Beast Taming Mountains, a group of four foundation-building cultivators from the Sun family have just gathered.
After a long period of retreat and healing, Sun Xunmu successfully achieved the promotion of his cultivation, and his aura of the fifth level of foundation-building was not concealed at all.
Although with his current qualifications and lifespan, if there is no great opportunity, the probability of condensing a golden elixir in this life is almost zero, but for a cultivator, the joy brought by the promotion of cultivation is still incomparable to anything else.
For Sun Xunmu, every step of advancement in cultivation will increase his chances of reaching the late stage of foundation building in the future.
After all, for most foundation building cultivators, especially those from small and medium-sized families, advancement to the late stage of foundation building is already a significant achievement and goal.
"The exploration of this sacred mountain has been completed halfway. According to my estimation, there is only one powerful monster like the giant tiger at most, but the top of the sacred mountain is the core essence of the entire secret place, and we must not miss it easily."
Looking at the top of the sacred mountain, which is only one step away, Sun Shengyuan's eyes are still full of hope and greed, which is also his only hope to obtain the longevity fruit.
"Most of the spiritual seeds taken from the family treasury have been planted in different spiritual medicine gardens according to their grades, properties, and habits, but the four most precious third-level spiritual seeds still have not been planted in a suitable place. Looking at the entire secret land, only the top of the mountain can possibly cultivate third-level spiritual medicines."
Sun Mingzeng has just reached the seventh level of foundation building, but how can he be limited to the foundation building period? The four third-level spiritual seeds were obtained by chance by the family.
The Shenquan Mountain where the family is located is only a second-level upper-grade spiritual vein. After satisfying the needs of the family cultivators and a large number of spiritual medicine gardens of different grades, it is simply unable to continue to support the growth of four third-level spiritual seeds.
If forced to plant, the excessive consumption of spiritual power over the years may cause the quality of the spiritual mountain and spiritual vein to slowly decline.
If the spiritual medicine is planted in the secret land, once it matures in the future, he will naturally be the first beneficiary after successfully condensing the golden elixir in the future.
"Let alone continuing to plant spiritual seeds, the mature spiritual medicines grown on the top of the spiritual mountain alone are a considerable fortune."
Compared to the foresight of Sun Shengyuan and Sun Mingzeng, Sun Xunmu is obviously more realistic and cares more about the spiritual medicines that have grown.
"At that time, both my great-grandfather and my eldest brother were able to severely injure the giant tiger. With the combined strength of the four of us, even if we encounter a similar situation again, there is no reason for failure."
Although Bai Qingling is a woman, once facing a strong enemy, she not only has no fear, but also looks eager to try, and is quite looking forward to the battle.
However, no matter from which aspect, the four people all agree to continue moving forward. Maybe their starting points are different, but the ultimate goal is exactly the same.
"Let's go, kill all the monsters occupying the top of Lingshan Mountain. This secret place will be the foundation for the family's future rise. Only when it is completely controlled can it play its due role."
Sun Shengyuan gave an order and immediately stopped hesitating. He turned into a stream of light and took the lead to move forward. His goal was the top of Lingshan Mountain. The machete, which was a daily magic weapon for fighting, was naturally in his hand.
The morale of the four people in the group was greatly boosted. The old and strong Sun Shengyuan was the arrowhead, the newly promoted seventh-level foundation-building cultivator Sun Mingzeng was the tail of the arrow, and Sun Xunmu and Bai Qingling were in the middle.
Although they have not really reached the top of Lingshan Mountain, the momentum of a war that is about to break out has never weakened. As the saying goes, the heroic spirit is high.
Coming from the same family, although they are far apart, they also have a certain tacit understanding.
In the second-level area deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, on the edge of an active volcano, Sun Mingsheng was also observing the basic situation here.
Before this, although this place was chosen as a follow-up target, before the formal action, it was necessary to have a clear mind and a deep understanding of the basic situation here.
If this place was really as described on the jade slip, Sun Mingsheng would naturally enter it according to the original plan to search for spiritual objects and practice in seclusion.
On the contrary, changes have occurred over a long period of time, and the situation in all aspects cannot meet his needs, so he naturally would not risk entering it to fight with the monsters here.
Sun Mingsheng is not afraid of fighting, but he would avoid this kind of battle that cannot gain any benefit and has no auxiliary effect on his future cultivation.
"Sigh"
Before approaching, the hot breath of red and gray in the sky continued to float in the air. The hot breath can be clearly felt, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Even cultivators cannot avoid it completely.
From a distance, you can see several sturdy, red-haired half-grown foals wandering in the red magma.
This large area of magma comes from two active volcanoes. The temperature is imaginable, but these foals wander freely in it.
These foals would occasionally put their mouths into the hot magma, pick up pieces of red stones and swallow them into their stomachs like delicacies.
Every time they swallowed an unknown spiritual object, a burst of white air would escape from their bodies.
