Chapter 156: Lord Tianyan
The sun sets in the west, and the sea of clouds is vast.
Li Mu walked with his sword, looking for the legendary Huanlang Mountain.
More than a month after leaving Qingxuanzong, relying on the speed of the Tissot Spirit Ship, Li Mu quickly flew to the vicinity of Huanlang Lingshan to search for the real Huanlang Lingshan.
Li Mu stood upright, with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, looking at the spiritual mountains passing below, his brows furrowed.
Huanlang Lingshan is very large, with several casual cultivator cities and some high-level casual cultivator caves located there. However, it is not that difficult to find an unknown cave abode with only a formation tablet.
Li Mu could only search aimlessly, holding the array cards to lead around the possible Lingshan caves.
After searching for several days with no results, Li Mu prepared to find a nearby city for casual cultivators to settle down.
The spacious and meandering Linghe River is surging with water. There are many villages and larger cottages located on the surrounding riverbanks with gentle terrain. Looking around, the whole land is full of simplicity and primitive atmosphere. .
Li Mu Yujian settled in a city of casual cultivators called Yin Yue City.
Looking down from a high position, Yinyue City is located in a relatively low-lying area between the two peaks. The small city established is divided into an inner and outer city, plus a large number of shanty towns living in the periphery.
Li Mu looked at Yin Yue City, not knowing what he was thinking, and was a little distracted for a moment. At this time, a sword-wielding figure flew up from the inner city and flew straight towards him.
Li Mu calmed down and looked at the person.
"Senior, hello, I wonder what you can learn from me in Yinyue City? Junior, I am very happy to serve you." A golden elixir monk who was about forty years old flew to Li Mu and asked respectfully .
Li Mu is not very old, but he exudes the aura of True Lord Nascent Soul, so he cannot help but be careless.
"Are you the master of this city?" Li Mu did not answer the other party's question, but asked instead.
"Yes, I am Xu Yingpeng from the Huanlang Lingshan-Rogue Cultivator Alliance. I am in charge of this city for the time being. I don't know where the seniors came from. What is the purpose of coming to Huanlang Lingshan? If you need it, I am happy to help you." The forty-year-old Jindan monk introduced himself and looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
Li Mu frowned, thinking about something, looked at the other person, and responded calmly: "Nothing special, just passing by here and taking a rest."
"I see, seniors need to rest. Please come inside, Xu is willing to show his kindness as a landlord." Xu Yingpeng made an inviting gesture to Li Mu and invited him warmly.
"I wonder, what is the constitution of the Huanlang Lingshan Loose Cultivator Alliance?" Li Mu nodded, and scanned the city with his consciousness, asking as he walked.
"The Huanlang Lingshan Mountain is a million miles away and is covered with high-level monsters. Our human race is in a weak position. In order to survive, we formed the Rogue Cultivator Alliance Mutual Aid Association with three God-Transforming Lords and twelve Nascent Soul Lords... "Xu Yingpeng introduced the situation of Huanlang Lingshan to Li Mu in detail.
Human beings, social creatures, easily form organizations wherever they go.
Huanlang Lingshan is no exception. In addition to the mutual aid association of casual cultivators, there are also some small sects, Qingtou Gang, Tiansha Sect, Black and White Sect, and so on. However, after all, Huanlang Lingshan is based on casual cultivators. The alliance is big.
At Xu Yingpeng's kind invitation, Li Mu was invited to his house for tea.
"Senior, please drink tea. This is Bulinggu's unique awakening spirit tea, which has the effect of strengthening the spirit and reassuring the soul." Xu Yingpeng made a cup of spirit tea for Li Mu and introduced it with a smile.
"Oh! You have to try it!" Li Mu didn't mean it, he picked up the tea cup with a smile and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
The spiritual tea in the entrance turned into a stream of heat and circulated in Li Mu's body. Finally, it divided into the sea of consciousness that did not reach Li Mu. This weak spiritual charm quickly dissipated in the boundless sea of consciousness. Without a trace.
The Nascent Soul soul opened its eyes and felt this faint spirituality, which indeed had the effect of refreshing and reassuring the soul, and successfully caused a faint throbbing in Li Mu.
However, this spirituality is too weak. If it can be a million times stronger, it will indeed have a breaking effect on the Yuanying monks
"Not bad! Good tea!" Li Mu put down the teacup. , smiled and praised.
"Right! If you like it, I'll give some to senior." Xu Yingpeng looked at Li Mu and said politely.
"No need to spend money!" Li Mu declined with a smile, and then asked: "If it is convenient, I would like to ask you a few things."
"Well! Senior, feel free to ask, Xu Yingpeng put down his tea cup and looked at Li Mu and said solemnly.
Yinyue City is located in a remote corner of Huanlang Ling Mountain. Few high-level monks pass by. Today, we can receive a Nascent Soul Lord. He doesn’t look like a bad person. Jie Xiu, please receive him well. Maybe he could get some benefits. Xu Yingpeng received him with great enthusiasm and attentiveness.
"Have there been any well-known formation cultivators in this Huanlang Lingshan Mountain? Or, high-level monks who are good at refining weapons? Which Lingshan Mountains are more famous?" Li Mu looked at Xu Yingpeng and asked with concern.
The fourth-level formation card that Li Mu obtained required proficiency in magic formations and weapon refining skills to refine it. Even if he wanted to refine it now, it would be extremely difficult. Since he could no longer find the location of Lingshan Cave, Li Mu had no choice but to ask for it. Ask about monks who are good at refining weapons and are proficient in formations.
"A senior monk who is proficient in formations and weapon refining, senior, you are talking about Tianyan Shenjun! This senior master is the most proficient in the art of weapon refining and formations!" Xu Yingpeng responded quickly road.
"Oh! Tell me what's going on with this Tianyan Divine Lord! It's my first time coming to Huanlangling Mountain. I'm not very familiar with the people and things here." Li Mu was moved and smiled. ask.
“No problem, this Tianyan Divine Lord is the most legendary person in our Huanlang Lingshan Mountain. According to legend, he comes from the Tianyan Sect, but he is a godly man who came out of our Huanlang Lingshan Mountain. He is proficient in refining. Weapon, double formation,..." Xu Yingpeng continued to introduce the legend about Tianyan Shenjun to Li Mu.
This Tianyan Shenjun is indeed a man of God. According to legend, he has been able to refine sixth-level spiritual treasures and seventh-level Taoist weapons. His cultivation is as high as the sky. He has broken through the transformation into gods and achieved fusion. He is good at formations. He is the most legendary legendary monk in Huanlang Lingshan.
Lord Tianyan himself has not shown his face for a thousand years, but his deeds are still spread throughout Huanlang Lingshan.
The establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance was led by Shenjun Tianyan. He has a warm heart and makes many friends...
Li Mu's mind moved, and he threw his consciousness into the formation card in the storage compartment. Ruoyouruowu had the word 'yan' engraved on the lower right corner of the fourth-order formation card. If nothing unexpected happened, this formation card The card is really an array weapon refined by Lord Tianyan.
"Well, which Lingshan is the cave where this Tianyan Divine Lord is hidden in Huanlang Lingshan? Do you know, Fellow Daoist Xu?" Li Mu's heart was pounding, and he looked at Xu Yingpeng and asked inquiringly.
“The whereabouts of Lord Tianyan have always been mysterious. His old man confiscated his disciples and left no inheritance. Therefore, the cave he cultivated in secret has always been the target of exploration by many monks. There are many theories, some say His cave is in Wenling Mountain, some say it is in Chixian Ridge, Baixian Mountain, etc. However, Tianyan Shenjun is good at formations, and the Qianxiu cave in his hometown must have been covered by formations. How can we? Peeping." Xu Yingpeng introduced eloquently.
Li Mu nodded, keeping these spiritual mountains mentioned by Xu Yingpeng in mind, and prepared to find time to verify them one by one.
Huanlang Lingshan is so big that it will take me countless years to complete the search. Now that we have some clear locations, we only need to use the formation cards to guide us, and it won’t take long to find the real location of the cave.
Then, Li Mu quietly chatted with Xu Yingpeng about the feng shui and customs of Huanlang Ling Mountain and Yin Yue City, then said goodbye to him and wandered around the city.
The city is extremely lively, with hunting cultivators carrying prey on their backs, herb gatherers carrying medicine boxes on their backs, casual cultivators visiting the market..., people are coming and going, most of them are cultivators carrying blades on their backs, and they may have many Or bring some injuries. Occasionally, the accompanying female cultivators were not empty-handed, carrying corpses of monsters and herb boxes on their backs. Some were even injured and were carried away...,
Li Mu restrained his cultivation. Therefore, he turned into an ordinary foundation-building monk and stayed in the city temporarily in a low-key manner, continuing to inquire about the deeds of Divine Lord Tianyan and the cave where he was most likely to cultivate in secret. After seven or eight days of inquiry and exploration.
It is almost the same as what Xu Yingpeng said. There are too many deeds of Lord Tianyan spread in Huanlang Lingshan, and Li Mu can easily find out.
Li Mu is probably certain that Wenling Mountain and Chixian Ridge, these two large spiritual mountains, are most likely the caves where Shenjun Tianyan used to cultivate.
Li Mu went with his sword and took the lead to Wenling Mountain. He took the array tablet to activate the array light and searched around to visit the hidden cave of Tianyan Shenjun.
For half a day, Li Mu searched Wenling Mountain all over, and after confirming that there was no result, he continued to use his sword and headed to Chixian Ridge.
Chixian Ridge is a barren mountain filled with large spiritual veins. It is located at the southern end of Huanlang Lingshan Mountain and is filled with various high-level monsters and poisonous insects.
Fortunately, Li Mu already has the cultivation level of True Monarch Nascent Soul, and is proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique. When encountering some high-level monsters and poisonous insects, he hides and avoids whenever he can, and searches for them in Chixian Ridge. Efficient and fast, nothing can stop him.
Two days later, Li Mu paused in a quiet spiritual valley.
"Found it!" Li Mu suddenly said with a smile. The next second, with a "crack" sound, his figure turned into a red light and penetrated into the soil, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Li Mu appeared again, he suddenly appeared in front of a giant spider. The fourth-order formation card in his hand exuded a bright spiritual light, and the passage behind the giant spider flashed with formation patterns. The rays of light correspond to each other.
Finally found it, Li Mu's face exuded joy, and the hard work finally paid off.
However, the underground passage into the magic circle was occupied by a giant spider, which served as a nest. It was filled with spider webs, various corpses, and exuded a stench.
“Hiss!”
As soon as the giant spider saw Li Mu, it immediately opened its teeth and claws, and made a terrifying roar, trying to scare the enemy away.
The sudden appearance of Li Mu startled the giant purple-bellied spider. Although the opponent was small, it exuded a dangerous aura and was by no means an enemy to be trifled with.
Li Mu ignored the threat of the giant purple-bellied spider and glanced at it to get its information.

Innate magical power - Under the influence of all spirits, a giant purple-bellied spider that is more than one foot tall, has eight long legs, and has a body shape like a small house, blocking the passage. , all information is presented on the character virtual frame.
"Let's discuss a matter. I want to go over there. Would you like me to go over there?" Li Mu looked at the nine-eyed purple poisonous spider blocking the road and asked in a consultative tone.
Before Li Mu finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and a ball of white silk web spurted out from the abdomen of the Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider and launched a sneak attack towards Li Mu.
Li Mu's figure flashed, he escaped from the spot in advance and escaped from behind.
"Uh, uh..." In the sound of the sword, a fourth-level spiritual sword flashed out from Li Mu's Jiuzang spirit bead. Then, it flew in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a sword dragon and headed towards Nine Eyes Purple. The poisonous spider swatted away.
With no room for negotiation, Li Mu immediately launched a counterattack.
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poisonous Spider turned into a ball of black light, dived underground, and lurked towards Li Mu's location.
"Puff puff..." Stegosaurus suddenly disintegrated and turned into sharp sword rain, which plunged into the ground, and strings of green and sticky venom spurted out.
“Hiss!”
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider howled miserably and leaped out from the ground. Thick green liquid flowed out, soaking the ground and exuding pungent smoke.
The sharp sword energy pierced its body easily.
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider lurked and attacked the enemy but failed. It was stabbed with wounds by a spiritual sword. A pair of red compound eyes stared at Li Mu bitterly, full of hatred.
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider spewed out a large amount of silk web, blocking a flying sword.
Li Mu waved his hand, and a large amount of five-element spiritual fire poured out, burning the white silk mesh with ease.
Li Mu stretched out his hand and made a move, a flying sword flipped upside down and flew up from the ground, ready to kill the Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider.
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poisonous Spider once again sneaked into the ground, staying far away. Its pair of red compound eyes stared at Li Mu, not daring to step forward, but unwilling to leave just like that.
"I don't even intend to kill you. Can't you make way for convenience?" Li Mu met the nine-eyed purple poisonous spider's hateful eyes and frowned lightly.
The Nine-Eyed Purple Poisonous Spider stopped its momentum. It had just suffered a big loss and was sure that the enemy in front of it was definitely no match for it.
After listening to Li Mu’s words, the Nine-Eyed Purple Poisonous Spider He drilled into the ground decisively and disappeared in a flash.
Li Mu was slightly stunned. He looked at the nine-eyed purple poisonous spider that fled without a fight, and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. It was indeed as he said, simply abandoning its nest and running away.
This is what Li Mu never expected. This nine-eyed purple poisonous spider is quite smart and has not been dazzled by hatred.
However, this is good, as it avoids an unnecessary fight.
Li Mu scanned the circle with his spiritual consciousness and confirmed that he did not find the Nine-Eyed Purple Poison Spider, so he took the array tablet and walked towards the passage of the array pattern.
If nothing unexpected happens, the secret cultivation cave of Lord Tianyan will be revealed today.
