In the dry cave, Shandu Tongzi and his companions had some knowledge, so they could roughly guess the extraordinary nature of this Qilin True Cave, and joy was revealed on their faces.

Exploring one of the treasures of a fairly large Mahayana monk will bring obvious benefits no matter how much you gain.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for their almost stagnant cultivation. If they are lucky, they may find a treasure that can help them break through the fusion stage, which would be like a vision of green smoke coming out of their ancestral graves.

Wei Dian looked at the expressions of several people with his slender eyes and sneered in his heart. It was within his expectation that after obtaining all the benefits of the Golden Crow Spirit Cave, they would definitely take away the benefits of the Qilin True Cave.

Although its properties are not very compatible with the fire-attributed magic formula he is practicing, it can still significantly improve his cultivation.

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Qi Yuan. Seeing that the other party was calm, he secretly became alert...

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it is too early to discuss treasures now. What is the situation in the Qilin True Cave? It is still in a state of fog."

"Haha, it was us who lost our composure." Shan Du Tongzi yawned and said.

The scholar surnamed Liu frowned, stood aside and pretended nothing had happened.

After everyone calmed down, Wei Dian took the initiative to lead the way. Each of them held a piece of moonstone in their hands, emitting a cool light to dispel the darkness, and gradually walked towards the depths of the cave.

Because the area ahead was an unknown one, no one dared to use escape techniques at will, for fear of accidentally triggering hidden restrictions and then not being able to dodge in time, thus being seriously injured.

Qi Yuan walked in the middle of the team. The fist-sized moonstone floated around him under the control of magic power. In addition to paying attention to the movements in front of him, his remaining attention was focused on the spatial spiritual patterns on the wall of the cave.

As they went deeper and deeper, the spatial spiritual patterns on the cave walls gradually became more profound, and even with his level of formation skills, he was unable to get a glimpse of the clues at once.

So he took care to remember it so that it would provide some help when he was comprehending the formation in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Qi is so attentive to the spatial spiritual patterns on the cave wall, so he must be proficient in formations, right?" The old man surnamed Zuo glanced at him. He had noticed Qi Yuan's abnormality a long time ago, but waited until now to speak.

Qi Yuan nodded when he heard this and said, "I know a little bit, but I'm not proficient in it. Just treat it as a means to assist in cultivation."

Then he asked back: "Qi, I saw that Fellow Daoist Zuo could see through the spatial spiritual pattern in one go. Your formation skills must be very high."

"Although Fellow Daoist Zuo comes from a small clan with limited cultivation resources, he is extremely sensitive to formations and comprehends what he has learned faster than others. It is not an exaggeration to call him a rare genius in formations."

The Confucian scholar named Liu explained on the side.

Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Zuo straightened his body instantly, showing a spirit, and a smug look flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He has fought his way to this day in a weak situation, and his strength in formations has made him admired by high-level cultivators from the Gu Li, Jinshi, and Giant Hand tribes.

He has some reputation in Lin'an City.

"Oh? My apologies." Qi Yuan bowed with an expression of admiration.

It is admirable enough for a cultivator to be able to cultivate from a humble environment to the Nascent Soul stage. It is even more rare and precious if he also has a talent for formations.

Wei Dian said: "Fellow Daoist Zuo's array formation strength is also well-known among the three clans. This young master is worried that there are profound restrictions in the Qilin True Cave, so I strongly invited him to join."

"Come to think of it, there are many talented cultivators in formation in the Fourth Young Master's clan. Why don't you ask them for help, but instead ask for external assistance?" The hoarse voice of the Mountain Poison Boy suddenly sounded.

This question has already arisen in their hearts.

Wei Dian said with an unchanged expression: "There are indeed fellows in our clan who are more powerful than Fellow Daoist Zuo, but the Qilin True Cave is Wei's personal matter, so it is inconvenient to ask them to take action. If you really want to use the power of the clan, do you still have a chance to stand here?"

As soon as these words came out.

Madam Xiang and the others' expressions changed slightly. After practicing for so long, they had more or less developed some instinctive sense of danger.

When Wei Dian first approached them, he deeply suspected that the other party had ulterior motives.

It's just that their backgrounds are not very good, the resources of the clan are no longer able to support them, and their cultivation has stagnated for a long time. It is really not advisable for them to miss the opportunity to find the Qilin True Cave.

Moreover, they were cultivators who had fought their way up, had rich experience in combat, and had several treasures to protect themselves. Even if Wei Dian went back on his word, they still had the confidence to restrain him.

However, Wei Dian's question now weakened their initiative a little.

Qi Yuan secretly praised Wei Dian for his skill. With just a few words, he was able to stop Shan Du Tongzi and the others from falling into a passive position.

Madam Xiang said with a smile: "Master Wei, you are joking. How dare I have any objection to you? We should thank you for your help, which can give us a glimmer of hope for our cultivation."

"Yes, yes, yes. What Madam Xiang said is exactly what we think in our hearts. Fourth Young Master, please don't take it to heart." The Confucian scholar named Liu quickly spoke up to smooth things over so as to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

Wei Dian's breath suddenly turned cold, and after he snorted heavily, he stopped talking.

Since it has already had the effect of suppressing them, there is no need to suppress it further.

So as not to overdo it!

After this little incident, the atmosphere among the crowd calmed down, and it lasted for a stick of incense.

"Stop, the spiritual patterns in the cave ahead seem to be strange." The old man surnamed Zuo narrowed his eyes and said seriously.

Madam Xiang smiled and said, "We have been walking for so long, and we thought there was no danger at all in the Qilin True Cave."

"Friend Zuo, have you figured out what's going on?" Wei Dian asked with concern.

After all, he was not proficient in formations, and he couldn't figure out the trick for a while.

Incarnation of spiritual patterns.

Qi Yuan's eyes were fixed on a special spiritual pattern on the edge of the cave, and he immediately had the answer in his mind.

This incarnation spiritual pattern is inspired by the imitation of the incarnation outside the body. Whether it is strong or weak is determined by the original owner's mind.

The old man surnamed Zuo waved his sleeves, and a ray of light rushed forward, hitting a mysterious spiritual pattern hard, instantly producing a dazzling spiritual light.

Then, the incarnation spiritual pattern condensed into a point of spiritual light, fell to the ground, and transformed into a green-armored monk, whose aura already had that of a late-stage spirit transformation.

"What a fuss! He is just a warrior in the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage. I thought he had some extraordinary skills."

Madam Xiang patted her full chest with her bare hands, her charming face sank, and she turned her lotus feet. A whirlwind of earth-yellow color blew up from the ground, suddenly enveloping the green-armored monk.

In a flash, the strong wind dissipated, and the green-armored monk disappeared without a trace.

"Mrs. Xiang's strength is indeed well-deserved. She killed a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator with just one move." The old man surnamed Zuo immediately flattered.

The Mountain Poison Boy said hoarsely, "Old Zuo, stop indulging yourself in women. Before we even reach the center of the Qilin True Cave, a being in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation appears. We still need you to take care of our lives."

The old man surnamed Zuo chuckled twice, then said impatiently: "Don't worry, I have a formation pattern sensor bell hanging on my body. Once it encounters an abnormal situation, it will sound an alarm."

As he spoke, he patted his waist with his skinny hands, and a slight bell sound came out from inside.

The look in Shandu Tongzi's eyes changed several times. Since the other party was sure, there was no need for him to say more.

Then the few of them continued to move forward, but their expressions became more cautious. After all, as the environment changed, the danger would definitely increase.

"Is this space expanded using the art of space too large? We have been walking for so long and have not encountered any stone chambers or the like." The Confucian scholar named Liu said with a frown.

The time that has passed is not just one day, but more than half a day.

Not even a single Qilin hair was seen, so he naturally became impatient. "Oh no, I guess this space technique must have a sophisticated illusion array, so it created a ghost wall phenomenon that trapped us."

After hearing the words of the Confucian scholar named Liu, the old man surnamed Zuo suddenly had an idea in his mind. He hurriedly took out a set of formation equipment, muttered something, and pointed swords, directing the three-colored small formation flags to fall below.

Three formation flags were arranged in a triangle, with circles of formation ripples rippling out from them. The formation power contained in it was not low, which indirectly showed his level of formation without any deception.

When everyone heard this, their expressions tensed up.

Qi Yuan simply used his spiritual sense to check the movements nearby, and indeed did not find anything unusual. He wondered in his heart, could this dead Qilin be a master of formations?
Even his formation level could not reveal a single flaw.

However, the old man surnamed Zuo's intuition about formations was much sharper.

"break…"

The old man surnamed Zuo shouted loudly, and the magic formula in his hand changed. The spiritual light of the formation flag gathered into a sharp spear, which suddenly stabbed into the void.

In an instant, a small crack appeared in the void ahead.

"I'm here to help you."

The Mountain Poison Boy opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of green poisonous mist, which twisted a few times and then strangely attached itself to the sharp spear, and then burst out with a foul smell and dazzling green light.

Bang.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically, and strange streams of light disappeared like the receding tide.

When everyone looked at it, they were all speechless.

Because they were in the same place where they had just entered, which meant that as soon as they stepped in, they were trapped in the illusion.

How could it not be shocking that they only discovered the abnormality after such a long time?
"Interesting. I am more interested in the treasures in the Qilin True Cave." The Mountain Poison Boy did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he was eager to try.

Wei Dian smiled and said, "Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Zuo noticed it, so we don't have to continue wasting time."

"Breaking the formation is within my scope of responsibility. Don't blame me for being late in noticing it." The old man surnamed Zuo said calmly.

How dare others blame?
If they angered the old guy, he would deliberately not break some of the formations, and then they would be in big trouble.

Qi Yuan took the initiative to step forward and said, "Everyone, this is not the right time to chat. We need to make up for the time wasted earlier as soon as possible."

"Brother Qi, what you said makes sense. Let's go." Wei Dian waved his hand, turned around and walked forward.

After breaking the illusion, the group soon came to three forks in the road.

"There are three forks in the road. If we explore them one by one, it will waste time and be inconvenient for the distribution of treasures. How about going in groups of two? The gains and losses will all depend on fate." Wei Dian said softly.

Madam Xiang smiled coquettishly and said, "I am traveling with Master Wei."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dian nodded slightly.

Shan Du Tongzi said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, how about we explore the same direction together? With your formation and my poison sect skills, we can still deal with the dangers of the early stage of fusion."

The old man surnamed Zuo glanced at the scholar surnamed Liu and Qi Yuan, immediately put them aside in his mind, and flashed to the side of the Mountain Poison Boy.

The Qilin True Cave contains unknown risks, and he doesn't want to find a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm as a companion.

The scholar surnamed Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qi, there are only two of us left now, what do you think?"

"It's okay. At worst, we can just retreat if we encounter danger." Qi Yuan said with a smile on his face.

The scholar named Liu was stunned for a moment and nodded without comment.

Wei Dian and Madam Xiang chose the fork in the road.

The Shandu Boy and the old man surnamed Zuo flashed into the cave on the right together.

At the intersection on the left are Qi Yuan and the Confucian scholar named Liu.

In the quiet cave, as the cool light appeared, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

"Brother Qi, why do I feel that the spiritual energy becomes hotter as we go further in?" The scholar named Liu said with a puzzled look.

Qi Yuan looked determined and said, "Could it be that the True Spirit Qilin is a spirit beast with fire attribute?"

"It's possible. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the spiritual energy would become so hot." The Confucian scholar named Liu couldn't think of an answer for a moment.

After all, Qilin also has many attributes such as wind, fire, and thunder, and it is not static.

Sudden…

There was an unusual movement about twenty feet away from the cave.

A tiny green Qilin rushed past at a very fast speed, and then it flew into the depths.

"Qilin origin?"

The scholar named Liu had an extraordinary vision. Even if the green light only flashed by, he could still capture the information. His eyes instantly became greedy. He completely ignored Qi Yuan and turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

That is the origin of Qilin, how can it be shared with others?

If you don't catch the origin of Qilin immediately, there will be a lot of trouble later.

How could something so important appear so early?

Qi Yuan had doubts in his heart, his figure emitting colorful rays of light, and he chased after him slowly, not seeming to worry at all that Qilin Zhenyuan would be captured by the Confucian scholar named Liu.

Just based on Qing Guang's escape technique just now, he knew that the other party was a cunning being and would not fall into the hands of others so easily.

Wind attribute breath?
Qi Yuan stood in front of the origin of the Qilin, and his spiritual sense captured the rich remnants of wind spiritual power, which indicated that the Qilin here was a true spirit with wind attributes when it was alive.

How do we explain the fire attribute contained in the spiritual energy?

Or is it that there is a rare fire-attributed treasure hidden in the Qilin True Cave, so powerful that even its aura cannot conceal it?

Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly glowed with black and white light, and he used his Yin-Yang Sky Eyes to perceive the surrounding environment.

Anyway, he is alone at the moment and can express himself freely.

In his sight, there was nothing else but the yin and yang aura of the Confucian scholar named Liu wandering in the void.

There was also a subtle yin and yang aura, which must be the yin and yang aura remaining from the Qilin's origin.

The black and white light suddenly deepened, piercing through the cave wall and continuing to penetrate.

In an instant, Qi Yuan felt tremendous resistance, and his eyes were slightly painful. That was the side effect of the advanced formation restriction in the Qilin True Acupoint.

What a red glow!
He put away his Yin-Yang Sky Eye, and his eyes returned to normal. Thinking back to the sea of ​​fire he had seen, he was left with a doubt in his heart. (End of this chapter)
