Zhao Di was quietly suspended in mid-air near the edge of the building.
Occasionally, monks would enter and exit this building, but most of them just took a glance at Zhao Di and then ignored him.
Occasionally, there were also low-level Qi-refining cultivators who detected the unfathomable spiritual energy fluctuations on Zhao's body and didn't dare to approach, instead choosing to detour from a distance.
After a long time, two foundation-building late-stage cultivators, one fat and one thin, walked out of the second floor pavilion together.
Zhao Di floated towards the two of them without hesitation.
"Two fellow Taoists, Zhao has something to ask, if you are willing to give some advice, these two pellets of solid yuan dan will be given to you!" Zhao stopped in mid-air more than twenty feet away from the two, and said with a transmission, while his right hand lightly lifted, a three-inch-sized emerald green jade bottle slowly flew towards the two.
"Gu Yuan Dan!" The fat monk was taken aback! He carefully scanned the small green bottle with his divine sense, but didn't find anything unusual. However, he also didn't immediately reach out to take it. He nodded at the thin monk, who took the jade bottle with a serious expression and lightly blew on it, opening the lid. Suddenly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out.
"It's indeed the Gu Yuan Dan, not a single mistake!" The thin and refined monk exclaimed with great joy. This Gu Yuan Dan was made from the inner elixir of a fifth-grade demonic beast, and for a monk like him who had reached the later stages of foundation building, it was a perfectly suitable spiritual medicine that could greatly enhance his cultivation!
"Are you the Venerable Zhao who just rented the cave dwelling? I don't know what questions you have, but my fellow and I are usually in closed-door meditation, so we may not be able to answer your questions!" The stout monk asked cautiously.
"Both of you are masters in the later stage of foundation building, I suppose you're also preparing to break through to the Golden Core! I wanted to ask you two, I've heard that there's a treasure land discovered on Xuanzhou Island, which contains treasures very useful for Golden Core. However, I don't know the specific situation. Judging from your attire, you should be masters of the Upper Mystic Sect in the Orthodox Alliance. Do you have any information to share with me? If you're willing to give me a slight hint, I'll offer these two Consolidation Pills that are very beneficial for foundation building masters." Zhao Di said with a bow.
"It turns out that you came here for this matter, actually you don't need to ask, and soon you will know. We two also only know a little about it. It is said that a large sect in Yingzhou opened an ancient sealed space, inside there are three Flame Heaven Fire Liquids and nine Cold Xuanming Waters, these two treasures. And the three major forces took over this place, preparing to select foundation-building cultivators to enter this space to search for treasure. In half a year or as short as one month, the Righteous Alliance will announce this matter. If you are interested, you can also sign up to participate." The fat cultivator said with a smile.
"Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and Nine Cold Xuanming Water! This treasure that is greatly beneficial for consolidating the elixir, I naturally have an interest in it! It's just that I don't understand, since we've discovered this treasure, wouldn't it have already been divided up and taken away? Would they let us Foundation Building cultivators go searching for treasures again?" Zhao Di asked in confusion.
"Hey, I'm not quite clear about what's going on either. It seems that the sect that discovered this space was detected by the three major powers at the first moment, so they didn't have time to send more cultivators to retrieve the treasure. There were only a few dozen people, and mainly just briefly explored it, staying in the space for a short time, and didn't bring back many treasures." The fat cultivator said, without hiding anything.
Zhao Di nodded and said: "So that's how it is, thank you both! This Gu Yuan Dan will be given to the two of you. I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the gift of elixir!" The two also bid farewell with a clasped fist.
"Not long after Zhao Di left, Fatou said in a low voice: 'Hey, this guy is not simple!'"
"Oh, brother, what are you saying!" The thin monk asked, he was very excited that Bai got a solid yuan pill.
"This person didn't go ask others, but instead came to find us two. He must have overheard our secret conversation earlier!"
"What! He's just slightly stronger than us two, how can he possibly do it?!"
"Either this person has cultivated some kind of secret technique, or his spiritual awareness is beyond ordinary people! Although his cultivation level is similar to ours, I can see that the fluctuations in his spiritual energy are deep and profound, and his mastery of the law is obviously higher than that of an average late-stage foundation-building cultivator!"
"So that's how it is, no wonder Shixiong revealed all the information he knew. Anyway, within half a year, these messages will be made public by Zhengdao Alliance, and there's no need to offend this powerful person!"
"Not bad, if we were to meet this person in a dangerous place, both of us would have to be extra careful."
……
After several hours, Zhao Di flew to the front of Yu Qing Peak. This cloud-shrouded, lush and beautiful mountain peak was not considered large in Penglai Fairy Island, which was of course compared to the distant Penglai Peak that massive object. If you look at this peak alone, it is also three or four thousand feet high and thousands of miles wide.
This Jade Clear Peak, from the bottom up, is divided into a layer every hundred or so feet, with more than thirty layers in total. Each layer has some cave palaces and pavilions built on it, with the lowest layer densely packed with thousands of cave palaces and pavilions, while the topmost layer only has one or two places with cave palaces. The higher up the mountain you go, the thicker the spiritual energy becomes. Zhao Di's cave palace is located on the seventeenth layer, which is roughly in the middle section of the mountain waist.
Zhao Di quickly found his own cave according to the records in the Jade Book.
With the jade plate in hand, he easily entered the cave mansion.
This cave mansion was built in a grand manner, with a blue stone house covering an area of several mu, two gates made of green jade stone over ten zhang high, finely carved with various auspicious birds and beasts. In front of the gate, on both sides stood four white jade pillars, each about twenty zhang high and one zhang thick, inlaid with five-clawed golden dragons.
Next to the stone house, there is a wide flower bed of several miles, where many rare flowers and weeds are growing, some of which emit a faint spiritual energy, obviously a kind of spiritual grass. There are also some bees, butterflies, birds and insects playing in the flower bed, a scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Zhao took a deep breath and indeed felt the abundant heavenly spiritual energy, making his limbs and internal organs feel extremely comfortable.
He checked the seals attached to the cave, and they were indeed very powerful. However, he still set up several high-level array seals that he had brought with him inside the cave. He didn't feel at ease relying solely on the original seals of the cave, and being prepared was always his style.
After setting up the formation, Zhao Di gently pushed open the stone gate and walked into the stone house. The interior of this huge stone house was divided into more than a dozen large and small stone rooms, each with different functions.
Alchemical chamber, artifact refinement room, quiet room, bedroom, spiritual beast room... all complete.
Not only that, but each room is also equipped with corresponding facilities, such as a brazier, a tatami mat, tables and chairs, beds, etc., all of which are complete and every one of them is very exquisite and distinctive.
Feeling the thick heavenly and earthly spiritual energy everywhere, Zhao Di deeply felt that this more than 10,000 spirit stones were worth it!
He released the Ice Wind Python from the Ling Beast Bag and let it wander freely in this cave.
After advancing to the second-level demon beast, it has been over a decade. During this period, due to the lack of Huán Jiǎo Dān, the cultivation of Bīng Fēng Mǎn did not show any significant improvement. However, the Azure Ice Pearl within its body had already been thoroughly refined by it, greatly enhancing the power of its ice-attribute magic! With the chill emitted by this python now, ordinary foundation-stage cultivators would find it difficult to resist.
It stands to reason that the Azure Ice Pearl is not a treasure that can be refined by just any second-level demon beast, even if it's not a treasure that requires a Foundation Establishment cultivator to refine. Probably due to the Ice Wind Python being an abnormal demon beast, although its promotion is more difficult, it indeed has extremely high innate talent in ice attribute divine abilities. Apart from flying faster and being able to easily instantaneously release wind blade techniques and other Qi Refining stage-level spells, I don't know what unique aspects this spirit beast has in terms of wind attribute divine abilities.
According to Zhao Di's plan, he would buy a small amount of third and fourth grade Jiaolong Yaodan before closing the cave to strike the Dan Tian, then hide in the cave and not come out until the Dan was formed. This way, even if someone discovered that he was wealthy and wanted to take advantage of him, they would have no chance.
And after he forms his dan, his strength will greatly increase. Those petty people will naturally not dare to cause trouble for themselves again!
If he could form the Mixed Yuan Golden Elixir, with the Mixed Yuan Secret's five kinds of spiritual energy cultivating together in a powerful technique, Zhao Di's magical powers would only be slightly higher than those of an average Golden Elixir beginner. Moreover, he already had two treasures in hand: the Small Ruler and the Golden Bell. These two treasures were left behind by Ximen Sanren, a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator, and were naturally not ordinary items!
