The appearance of Yun Zhongzi made the face of the man in black more complicated. He was obviously unwilling to confront this powerful old man head-on at this time. But the two companions around him were obviously unwilling to leave. One of them provoked, "Senior Yun, we just want to have a fight. Why do you have to make such a big fight?" Yun Zhongzi sneered and glanced at the three of them: "Secretly, right? I will give you a chance in person." After that, he waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force instantly wrapped the three men in black, as if imprisoning them in an invisible cage.
Lin Feng, Qin Yue and Yun Yao were stunned. Such strength is far beyond their imagination, allowing them to deeply feel the gap between themselves and real masters. However, Rocky looked at Yun Zhongzi thoughtfully and nodded slightly, as if he had expected it. "You three, now is a good time to improve yourself." Yun Zhongzi looked back at the three of them, "There are many strange energy fluctuations in this secret realm, which can help practitioners improve their cultivation quickly. You can use this opportunity to exercise."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he quickly held the "Biying" flying sword in his hand. "Master, you just said that you want to help me master the 'Biying'. I want to try it out, can you further strengthen it here!"
Rocky nodded comfortably: "It's the time. You three are here to continue practicing. I'm going to prepare some things. If you have any questions, you can shout in time."
After saying that, Rocky turned around and left. The man in black was bound aside and could not move for the time being. The three of them could finally concentrate on their practice.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and felt the surrounding environment. He felt a strange and powerful aura, which filled the entire valley. He tried to guide this energy into his body and merge with his own spiritual power.
As Lin Feng's efforts, his breath began to change, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the surrounding nature. At this moment, his mood became more pure and firm.
At this moment, a strange sound came from not far away, as if it was a low and ancient spell sound. Lin Feng opened his eyes and saw a golden light slowly rising in front of him, as if something was about to appear.
"What is that?" Yun Yao said in surprise.
The three of them walked carefully to the ball of light and found that there was an ancient jade in the middle. The jade emits a gentle golden light, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
"This is... the foundation stone!" Qin Yue suddenly exclaimed, "It is said that this kind of jade can greatly improve the strength of foundation-building monks, and can even directly break through the bottleneck!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. "If I could get this foundation stone, maybe I could really break through to the peak of foundation building in one fell swoop."
"Don't stand there, hurry up!" Yun Yao urged.
Just as the three of them reached out to touch the jade, a strong repulsive force suddenly burst out, shocking them all to a few steps back. "It seems that it is not that simple to obtain this foundation stone." Lin Feng gritted his teeth, "But I won't give up, let's solve this problem together!"
In the next time, the three of them kept trying various methods to obtain the foundation stone. During the process, they encountered many challenges, including complex barriers, sudden mechanism traps, etc. Whenever he encounters difficulties, Lin Feng will always take the lead in charging, and resolving crises repeatedly with his newly mastered "Biying" flying sword.
Finally, after experiencing several setbacks, when the last difficulty was solved, the foundation stone in the light finally calmed down and no resistance was generated. "Success!" Yun Yao shouted excitedly.
Lin Feng walked forward and slowly held the jade-like foundation stone with both hands. In an instant, a powerful and pure energy surged into his body and spread rapidly along the meridians. "It's so awesome. I can feel the power in my body is increasing sharply!" Lin Feng was very excited, his voice trembling slightly from the excitement.
After a moment, Lin Feng's aura suddenly surged, reaching the peak state of the foundation-building realm. A faint aura surrounded his body, and his whole body seemed to be completely renewed. "Breakthrough! Lin Feng, you did it!" Qin Yue cheered.
At this time, Yun Zhongzi quietly walked over with a smile of praise on his face: "Very good, you performed well. But the road to cultivation is still long, don't slack off."
When the man in black saw this scene, his face became even more solemn, but he remained silent and did not dare to move rashly.
The night gradually descended, and there was silence in the secret realm. After a whole day of hard work, the three young monks seemed a little tired. But they were extremely satisfied and firm in their hearts, knowing that it was all worth it.
"The harvest today is really great." Yun Yao sighed softly, "I hope that every day in the future can continue to make progress like this."
Qin Yue smiled: "Of course, we must be the strongest immortal cultivators!"
Lin Feng stared at the foundation stone in his hand and the flying sword "Biying" next to him, and said firmly: "Next, we must work hard for a larger goal! There are still many challenges waiting for us tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, a few slight footsteps came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw Rocky slowly walking back. "Are you tired? Have a good rest today and we will continue tomorrow." Rocky smiled.
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay Master, we will work harder!"
In the distance, the figure of the man in black was still imprisoned, with uneasiness and anger flashing in his eyes, as if indicating that a new round of competition is coming.
Lin Feng and the other two were about to follow Rocky to leave, when the man in black suddenly said, "Wait a minute! We have important things to tell you."
Yun Zhongzi frowned, but he did not stop him, but signaled the three of them to stop and listen to them. Lin Feng and Yun Yao looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
"We do have a story to tell." The man in black's voice was low and firm, "If you are willing to help us after listening, then everything before can be written off."
Qin Yue asked curiously, "Oh? Then come and listen."
The man in black took a deep breath and slowly said, "We are not here just to seize the treasure. In fact, our purpose is to save someone."
"Save someone?" Yun Yao looked at him in confusion, "Who are you saving?"
"It's our junior sister - Liu Qing." A trace of pain flashed in the eyes of the man in black. "She was trapped in an extremely dangerous place. We need a powerful magic weapon to save her."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and a hint of sympathy arose in his heart. But his years of cultivation have made him know that in this cruel world, trust is not so easy to give. "Why don't you come and ask for help directly?"
"Because we have done a lot of sorry things and our reputation is too bad." Another man in black smiled bitterly, "That's why we had to take some extreme methods." Lin Feng's mood was a little complicated when he heard this. Although he is not ashamed of these people's behavior of fighting for treasures, if it is really just to save a relative... maybe it is really understandable, right? "What are you planning to do now?" Yun Yao asked bluntly.
The man in black looked at Yun Zhongzi, who was silent for a while and finally nodded: "You keep talking."
So the man in black told their plan in detail. It turned out that Liu Qing was trapped in a place called the "Evil Cave". It is said that it is full of powerful restrictions and demons. Even the strong people in the cultivation world rarely escape. The only thing that could save her is the legendary soul-suppressing bell, and recently there are rumors that this soul-suppressing bell may be in the depths of the secret realm.
After listening, Yun Zhongzi pondered for a moment and said, "You have made sense, but if you want to find this treasure, you may need more detailed clues."
Seeing that Yun Zhongzi's attitude seemed to ease, the three of them knew it well that this was an opportunity and a test. "We also want to see if we can find the Soul-Suppressing Bell and rescue the girl you mentioned by the way." Lin Feng said.
Hearing this, the man in black lit up his eyes: "Thank you! Thank you very much!" He seemed extremely grateful, and his tone was not as cold and ruthless as before.
However, Yun Yao remained vigilant: "But we cannot guarantee that we will succeed, after all, this kind of thing is very risky."
"As long as you are willing to give it up, it is enough." The man in black nodded firmly, "Even if there is only a little hope, we will not give up."
At this time, the night had completely fallen, and the surrounding temperature also dropped a few points. Everyone knows that tomorrow will face more severe challenges. "Okay, let's stop here today." Yun Zhongzi announced, "Everyone will go back and have a good rest, and set off again tomorrow dawn."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
After saying this, Yun Zhongzi lifted the shackles of the people in black. Seeing them standing up a little stiffly, Lin Feng secretly sighed in his heart that things in the world are indeed unpredictable!
Just as everyone was about to disperse, Rocky reminded him: "Don't forget that dangers in the secret realm are endless, we must stay alert at all times."
"Understand." Lin Feng, Yun Yao and Qin Yue answered in unison, and each found a safe place to sit down and began to meditate and adjust their breathing.
Occasionally, a beast howls from deep in the woods in the distance, which makes it particularly clear and harsh in this quiet night. However, for them who have experienced countless life-and-death battles, this little movement is not enough to disturb their minds.
The people in black stood in a corner not far away and were talking in a low voice, as if they were discussing what to do next.
The next morning, the sun shone through the dense forest, bringing vitality to this land. After a night of rest, Lin Feng, Yun Yao and Qin Yue's spirits have recovered a lot. The three of them stood in front of Rocky, waiting for his instructions. "Today our destination is in the depths of the secret realm, where many unknown secrets are hidden." Luo Qi's eyes swept across everyone, "We must do our best, not slacking off at all."
"I understand, Master." The three of them responded in unison.
The men in black were no longer restrained at this time, and their attitude became respectful, as if they sincerely hoped that the cooperation would go smoothly. "Let's go." Lin Feng took the lead, and the flying sword "Biying" in his hand emitted a faint green light.
Along the way, they walked through the dense forest and crossed the high mountains and encountered several waves of monsters on the way. With their respective strength and team cooperation, the battle can be quickly resolved every time. Whenever this happens, Yun Zhongzi will give some advice, which will benefit everyone a lot.
The afternoon sun shines on the mottled spots through the leaves, and they rest briefly by a stream. "The scenery here is so beautiful." Yun Yao said softly. "It's a pity that we don't have time to appreciate these." Qin Yue sighed. "It's true, but it's good to relax occasionally." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Well, you're right. But you still have to be vigilant. After all, this place is a forbidden area and is full of dangers." Rocky reminded.
After taking a break, they continued to move forward. As we penetrated into the secret realm, the atmosphere around us became more gloomy, and even the air was filled with a hint of uneasiness.
In the evening, the group finally arrived at the entrance of an ancient cave. This cave is hidden in a thorny place, and it is difficult to find its existence without careful observation.
"Is this the Ecstasy Cave?" Yun Yao asked with a frown. "Yes, it is said that there are many dangers hidden here, but we have no choice." The man in black nodded and replied.
"Okay, then go in." Lin Feng said decisively, holding the "Biying" in his hand, his eyes firm.
Everyone entered the cave, the light inside was dim, the air was humid and stuffy, and the surroundings were filled with strange stone sculptures and mysterious runes.
"What's wrong with this place..." Qin Yue murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, and then the ground began to vibrate slightly. Several huge shadows appeared in the darkness ahead, and there were actually several powerful demons! "Be careful, everyone!" Rocky shouted loudly, instantly drew out the long sword behind him, ready to face the enemy.
Lin Feng immediately waved the "Biying Shadow", and a green light cut through the night and hit the nearest demon. The monster screamed and his body was cut in half. Seeing this, other companions also used their weapons one after another.
Yun Yao casts spells and summons several ice thorns, freezing all the nearby enemies. Qin Yue held two blades in his hand and flexibly shuttled between the enemy groups, and he could hit the key points of the target every time he made a move.
Just as everyone tried their best to resist the demon, the man in black suddenly took out a bronze token from his arms and threw it into the center. Then a dazzling light rose into the sky, and the monsters attacking suddenly fell into chaos and fled everywhere.
"Is this a soul-suppressing token?!" Rocky looked at the inconspicuous little object in surprise.
"Yes, only in this way can we temporarily shock the guards here." The man in black explained, "but this effect will not last too long. We must seize the time to find where Liu Qing is." (End of this chapter)
