Immortal Formula

   Chapter 600 Conspiracy

   And everyone outside the stone wall was staring at the changes that happened in front of them.

   After the Mirage King rushed into the pool of fire, countless flames soared, and the scene inside could not be seen at all. Shen Mengli and others could only think of a way to cut off the surrounding spiritual veins and let the flames here slowly escape, but the effect seemed to be ineffective, so Gu Yan stimulated the Jade Array and mobilized the Earth's core fire energy. At that time, the countless flames that were spewing out towards the surroundings seemed to converge suddenly, and then quickly retreated inward.

   Everyone's eyes widened, and they watched the flames converge inwards, retreated into the stone wall, and then kept narrowing inwards, revealing a large blank space outside.

The mottled ground left countless crisscrossed scarlet prints, and strips of stalagmites protruded outwards, which looked extremely ugly, like countless monsters with claws and claws, and those flames, like the ebb and flow of the tide, blazed fast. Stepping back, a huge fire pool was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

  Sheng Hualan took away the array map in her hand, and said in awe: "All the spiritual energy here has converged, and now the spiritual veins here are empty, and it has become a Jedi."

   Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened in the fire pool, and in the exposed empty ground, Gu Yan and the demon king were all gone. Where did they go?

   But the fire pool in front of them all dried up, but it was what happened in front of them. Also let these disciples, for the first time, see the true appearance of these five secret places behind the Xijian Pond hidden in the Thousand Venerables and Thousand Caves.

  After the flames were all covered up, what was revealed was an incomparably vast pit, with countless scarlet stalagmites protruding from the ground, leaving all traces of being burned.

   In the upper part of this big pit, there are passages extending in all directions, densely packed like cobwebs, and I don’t know where to go. Every path looks extremely deep, like there are countless demons at the end, hidden in the depths, and they want to devour all those who go in without leaving any traces.

  Fang Shuo strode across the stone wall and walked towards the direction where the fire faded away.

  Shen Mengli quickly grabbed his arm, "Xiao Fang, what are you doing?"

   Fang Shuo turned his head and glared at him and said, "Of course I'm looking for someone, don't you think about it, without her, would everyone be swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire?"

   Although his words were very rude, people including Sheng Hualan did not refute them. Shen Mengli sighed: "I'm not stopping you, but at least, let's discuss a charter first, and then make a move, right?"

  Fang Shuo waved his hand angrily and said, "What are the regulations, this and that, if you do things so forward-looking, let's go home and nurse the child!"

Qin Mingyue said leisurely at this time: "Xiao Fang, listen to Brother Shen, there are dangers everywhere, you are really sure that you can find Gu Xianzi by yourself? And now, you don't even know where she went. Don't you know?"

  Qin Mingyue usually speaks softly and rarely speaks, not as flamboyant as Sheng Hualan, but this sentence makes sense, Fang Shuo stopped and looked at Su Manjian.

   Everyone's eyes were focused, and Su Manjian smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, this place is actually my first time here."

Qin Feng, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Miss Su, you don't need to hide anything at this time. This is the secret place of Hidden Sword Villa. Even if you haven't been here, you should know some details. Let’s join hands, if we don’t cooperate sincerely, and if we have to hide something, how can we get out of this sword washing pool?”

   Qin Feng has been deeply restrained and taciturn since he entered the Sword Washing Pond. Su Manjian was a little surprised when he suddenly said such sharp words.

  Jiang Yaojia cast an admiring look at Qin Feng, obviously very satisfied with what he said. The man beside him seemed to have some eyesight. He looked on with a cold eye, and he could see the delicate relationship among the nine major factions. Hidden Sword Villa and Yunshang Valley were not so intimate with each other.

Su Manjian pondered for a moment, then said: "It's not that I'm hiding it, it's just a strict order from this sect, not after Jianzun, this secret matter cannot be heard. Before, there were disciples in this sect who entered these five secret places, but the Sword Sovereign did not send anyone to rescue him." She paused and said slowly, "That time, seven disciples came. , only two survived."

Speaking of this, her face became serious, "Therefore, I also swear here that I will tell everyone without reservation what I know, but at this time, as Brother Qin said, everyone should cooperate sincerely. , can't think of anything else."

  Shen Mengli knocked on the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "This is natural. Please tell me, Miss Su."

Su Manjian said slowly: "These five secret places are interconnected with each other, and there must be a road leading to the Ten Thousand Honors and Thousand Caves, but at this moment, our only choice is to move forward. There are countless paths around. Walk."

  Qin Feng asked: "Why is this, and moving forward, isn't it the end of the five secret places, isn't that more dangerous?"

Su Manjian replied: "Under the fire pool, there is a connection between the earth's heart and the yin and the earth's fire essence, and the surrounding roads were created by innate and natural creation. I don't know which one will lead to the spiritual veins of the earth's heart. At that time, We will all be sucked by the earth's core energy, and there will be no bones left. Therefore, although the front is dangerous, it seems to be safe. We must find the connection between the secret places and find opportunities. On the edge of the fire pool, we should It leads to the Jinling Jade Palace, which is relatively safe, we can just move forward."

  Jiang Yaojia said lightly, "As you said, how confident are you that you want to escape safely?"

  Su Man arrowed: "Not a single point. But I think everyone came here, and they didn't have the mentality of playing. Is there no danger on the road of quest?"

   She said decisively: "As a disciple of Tibetan Sword Villa, I would like to go through this difficult time with everyone, and share life and death!"

Shen Mengli tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan, "Sister Su's words have won my heart. I think everyone can be divided into three groups and move forward separately. Every ten miles, make a mark to echo each other. To avoid the fear of separation. He smiled again and said, "Everyone thinks, we originally only went to Wanzun Qiandong to collect sword souls, but now we have the opportunity to walk around such a secret place. Isn't it an unexpected good thing?"

  Sheng Hualan clapped her hands and laughed: "Brother Shen is right, let's move on separately."

  Shen Mengli dispelled the tense atmosphere with his words, Qin Feng took a step back with a gloomy expression on his face, Jiang Yaojia squeezed his arm lightly, indicating that he was very satisfied with his performance just now.

The two of them naturally wanted to go all the way, Fang Shuo and Su Manjian were going all the way, Qin Mingyue suddenly said: "There should be a person who can pass the formation method in each of the three roads, why don't I go with Brother Shen. Miss Jiang As a disciple of Yunshanggu, the formation is not an outsider, Junior Sister, how are you and Xiaofang going?"

Sheng Hualan was rather reluctant, but Shen Mengli hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's fine. Junior sister Qin is good at the art of flag gates, and I use my jade plate to contact us. The two of us are in the middle. "

   Both of them said so, Sheng Hualan had to answer, leaving the dead Yue Jiuxi aside, and the remaining seven people divided into three groups, following the direction where the fire pool retreated, and went forward separately.

   Everyone took Shen Mengli's jade plate and made an appointment to exchange news every ten miles, and then they separated.

  The flames in the fire pool receded like a tide. At this time, they had already disappeared without a trace, and everyone could only follow the direction and explore slowly. After all, no one knows where the Jinling Jade Palace that Su Manjian said leads to.

   Qin Mingyue and Shen Mengli walked all the way, both of them were speechless, both protected their bodies with magic weapons, and moved forward extremely cautiously. After walking for a few miles, Shen Mengli suddenly said, "Junior Sister Qin, you want to go with me, what do you want to say to me?"

Qin Mingyue's brows twitched, and at the moment when the two of them got along, her original shyness and self-confidence had been thrown away, and there was a smile that was not a smile on her face, "Senior Brother Shen, what do you mean? "

  Shen Mengli said indifferently: "Although we have little fellowship, but Mingren don't speak secretly, if you have nothing to say to me, how about we separate in the next place?"

   Qin Mingyue smiled slightly, "Brother Shen, why are you so angry. Do you think I'm the only one who sees through the fact that you deliberately put the Mirage Demon King into the fire pool?"

  Shen Mengli's face changed suddenly and said, "What did you say?"

   His two eyebrows flew diagonally into his temples, looking full of heroic spirit, but at this time his brows were raised slightly, and a murderous aura came out suddenly, which made people feel cold all over. But Qin Mingyue smiled and didn't care. Her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and they looked kind and harmless, but at this time, they seemed to have a lot of meaning no matter how she looked at them.

"There are no outsiders here, so why bother brother Shen. My junior sister trusts you, but it doesn't mean that others don't have eyes. You found a gap in the transformation of the two formations, deliberately exposed the flaw, and put the Mirage Demon King into the fire. Chi, its intention is nothing more than to make it and the Gu family girl lose both sides, I'm afraid that they will lead out the mirage, and there are also your means in the middle?"

  Shen Mengli calmed down at this moment, and he said lightly, "Miss Qin, although you and I don't have a deep relationship, some things are not nonsense."

Qin Mingyue smiled slightly, "Brother Shen, don't tell lies in front of a real person. I'm not the kind of person who acts like a childish child. I want to use this chasing thing to blackmail you, although I don't know that you have any relationship with her. What hatred, let you put your mind to death, but if you are so determined, perhaps, I can help you."

   After she finished saying this, she stopped talking and looked at Shen Mengli with a smile on her face. Her originally squinted eyes were now wide open, and her eyes were undisguised. Let this senior sister, who was originally hidden and restrained, always under the shade of Sheng Hualan's light, suddenly exudes a different kind of demeanor.

  Shen Mengli took a step back and looked at her up and down, as if she only met this person today. He was in the BD market for a long time, and Qin Mingyue did not urge him, but just smiled and waited. Shen Mengli suddenly burst out laughing, "Junior Sister Qin, I've known you for many years, but I didn't know that you still have such a deep scheming. You hide it well, and you hide it well!"

  Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "To each other, it's just that you, as the proud son of the Danding faction, never pay attention to me. But speaking of it, we are just one kind of people."

Shen Mengli tapped the folding fan in his hand, "Yes, I underestimated you. I do have some grudges with the woman surnamed Gu, but it's not a big deal, and I don't necessarily have to do my best to kill her. Otherwise, do you think she can really resist the entire Danding faction?"

Qin Mingyue smiled sweetly, this normally quiet and honest woman with a tall stature and long hair fluttering, at this moment, she actually gave off a different kind of charming style, "Then I don't know, but, for the sake of an elixir Loose cultivators, shouldn't you ask the noble patriarch Huayan to take action, so the face of the Danding faction will not be thrown overseas?"

Shen Mengli's smile faded and he said, "Junior Sister Qin, if you have anything to do, please tell me. I used to underestimate you, but if you want to rely on this, you want me to do what you do. Something, I'm afraid I made the wrong abacus."

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who doesn't know how to advance or retreat? The land of Cangwu, after thousands of years, has been turbulent and troubled, and now the time for the nine factions to discuss matters is approaching, Brother Shen, don't say anything about today's You don't know anything about the situation?"

  Shen Mengli's face suddenly became serious. He found that he still underestimated this woman. Although she usually does not speak a word, her eyesight is enough to surpass Sheng Hualan. He said solemnly, "What do you mean?"

Qin Mingyue said lightly: "It doesn't mean anything, but I am also in this faction, and I have some small thoughts. I don't believe that Brother Shen is not there? If not, why do you have to make friends with Junior Sister Sheng? You know, She is one of the people in this sect who is most admired by Guru Padmasambhava!"

   Shen Mengli said, "What do you want to say?"

Qin Mingyue suddenly put away her cold face again and smiled brightly like a spring flower, "I just want to tell Brother Shen that in this lotus mountain, if you cooperate with me, it will be better than my little junior sister who is not familiar with the world. For example, the payoff could be much greater.”

  Shen Mengli laughed haha, "Junior Sister Qin, I just found out now that you are really a smart person. It's a pity that two people like us probably won't trust each other."

   Qin Mingyue said: "Therefore, we can only have a cooperative relationship. It starts here and ends there. If you want to talk about friendship, probably no one will believe it?"

   The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter in a very tacit understanding. They only felt that they had really met a confidant in their life, and a laugh was not enough to describe the happy mood here.

   After a while, the laughter gradually stopped. The two of them only felt that the distance between them was much closer in an instant. Shen Mengli said: "What do you mean by what you said just now?"

Qin Mingyue said: "Back then, when my master, that is, Master Padmasambhava, came to the Sword Washing Pond for a trial, he was one of the very few monks outside the Hidden Sword Villa. He once entered the five secrets. land, and those who come out safely."

   Shen Mengli's eyes suddenly heated up: "You mean, do you know anything about the terrain here?"

Qin Mingyue nodded, "I'm afraid Junior Sister Su, she may not know as much as I do. According to my master, at the end of the five secret places is the most mysterious place in the Tibetan Sword Villa. Now the fire pool has receded. , Maybe it was Gu Yan who inspired the earth core force, if she was lucky enough to not be swallowed up by the earth core force, then she would definitely fall into the Phoenix Stage!"

   There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, "The Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Stage is a seemingly safe place, but it is actually extremely dangerous. I can set up a battle between the two so that she cannot escape from the Phoenix Stage!"

  Shen Mengli said: "I heard that you and Su Manjian made good friends, but this time you went to harm her friend?"

   Qin Mingyue smiled and said: "Yes, Manjian is indeed my rare friend among the nine factions, but friends can always be made again, but some things must be done, right?"

  Shen Mengli smiled and said, "Even if she was trapped in Phoenix Terrace as you said, wouldn't Su Manjian ask the people from Hidden Sword Villa to rescue her?"

   Qin Mingyue said: "I have my own way, but I don't need to tell you in advance."

Shen Mengli thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll trust you once." He raised his hand, and Qin Mingyue also stretched out that white and jade-like palm, and the two of them hit the air lightly. With three strikes, a temporary covenant was reached. Laughing at each other, they all have a sense of understanding.

   Gu Yan, who was still in the fire pool at this time, did not know that there were already two people a hundred miles away who had secretly reached a secret agreement against her.

She ignored Ning Fengzi's shouting in the space. What she was thinking at this time was what she saw in the cave. Long before the Dao and Demon War, the record in the jade slip of the mysterious cultivator, She wants to explore the source of this Sword Washing Pond!

  Gu Yan always felt that in this Sword Washing Pond, there were far more mysteries than what he had seen, and the answer to the final mystery might have to be attributed to the mysterious source of the Sword Washing Pond before it could be answered. Therefore, the curiosity in her heart flourished, and at the risk of being sucked into the center of the earth, she also wanted to explore the source of the Sword Washing Pond.

If someone is looking down at the top of the Sword Washing Pond at this time, they can see this incomparably spectacular scene. In the densely packed holes like spider webs, countless flames, like the raging waves of the raging sea, quickly roll towards the back. , devoured everything that could be seen in front of him. Under the shroud of fire, countless stone walls and countless monsters were all wrapped in flames and turned into fly ash before this mighty impact.

  Ning Fengzi kept shouting: "Hey, are you dying? I don't want to die with you!"

  Gu Yan turned a deaf ear to her cry, and when she quickly retreated, she was still engrossed in the fire spirit in front of her. Originally in the center of the earth and the sea, the two red lines of fire made by Cang Haike were now all enveloped by the purple gold aura, and a faint purple light appeared around her, and her heart suddenly felt a little sad. Thinking of the three fire spirits that passed away at the eye of the earth and the sea, I immediately thought of the way of life and death, the way of life and death is broken and then standing, undefeated and not alive, if I have an understanding in my heart, I said: "One is divided into two, and it is the same as before. Name and name, how?"

   Along with the voice, Gu Yan's left hand stood like a knife, and he slashed heavily towards the bottom. A golden light flashed and separated the two entangled flames at the same time. Two flames, one blue and one red, are separated from the left and right, and the difference between them is clear. Gu Yan said: "One Qingming, one Zhulian, but also!" She put her fingers together, and the two flames were taken into the chaotic space by her. Since then, he has transformed into a congenital fire spirit that is in harmony with his body and mind.

In Gu Yan's heart, she was actually a little surprised. The attributes of these two red-line fires were different from the ordinary fire spirits she had seen, with a very hidden aura, even if it was her His spiritual sense, if not deliberately, would be difficult to detect, and it is really hard to imagine that it was cultivated by Cang Haike himself. Maybe he had a chance and got it from somewhere?

Then she stretched out her right hand and grabbed it in the air. The big golden hand was covered from the air, and countless bright flames were held in her hand. From the fingertips, there was a clear burning sensation, but it seemed gentle rather than ostentation. The flame is bright in color and very eye-catching. With her magic formula, she was taken into the chaotic space by herself. Gu Yan finally received her fifth fire spirit.

  Three fire spirits submerged into the space at the same time. Although the appearance is still similar, the aura has become very different. It is no longer as lifeless as before, but seems to be integrated with the entire space.

  Qiqi also seemed to sense this change, it ran over very cheerfully, stuck out its nose and sniffed up and down, and then made a cheerful cry of "oooo".

   In front of Gu Yan, the Mirage Demon King, who was trapped by her with a jade plate pattern, only a few dozen meters apart, finally showed panic in his eyes.

  Gu Yan understood what it meant, smiled and said, "I heard that your body is invulnerable to water and fire, and will not be extinguished in all eons. I wonder if I will refine you with the five innate spirit fires, can I refine you completely?"

Probably on this Cangwu land, since the war between Dao and Demon, no one, including Nascent Soul cultivator, can at the same time possess five innate fire spirits like Gu Yan, and still be able to refine the body and mind. Consistent, run by the heart. According to the records in the raging fire scripture, if a person can gather the seven kinds of innate fire at the same time, he can be directly sanctified in the flesh and cultivate his own raging fire soul. And now Gu Yan is working hard for this hope.

It’s just that the Jade Shard True Sutra she got is only half-queen on it. Although it records the method of foundation in the front, the method of cultivation in the back, and the most crucial part of becoming a baby, it doesn’t mention it at all. This also makes Gu Gu Yan has a headache. To be able to obtain the half-queen scriptures is already considered a great opportunity. Now, where do you go to find the second half-queen?

   However, Gu Yan's lifespan is still very long. Since she has chosen this path, she must keep going. She believes that there will be a day when she will find an opportunity.

   Seeing the terrified appearance of the Mirage Demon King in front of her, she couldn't help but smile and said, "So you have something to be afraid of, so what if you follow me?"
