Chapter 1709 Cave Mansion
The rock covering the box has been broken, so Qu Jianlei doesn't need to do these things, as no one wants to tire the boss.
The box looks so gray that it is hard to associate it with a cave.
Qu Jianlei stepped forward and made a series of complicated hand gestures, causing the box to fly into the air.
In the air, the box shrank rapidly and finally evolved into an egg-sized bead and fell into Qu Jianlei's hands.
"It is indeed this," Jiao Daoren said with emotion, "Space Ruyi Pearl..."
Claire was a little curious when she heard this, "This portable cave is actually also a standard magic weapon?"
"It's not a standard, it's just a general term," Jiao Daoren replied casually, "Okay, let's go back."
After packing up the cave, everyone was no longer in a hurry - they could leave at any time if they wanted to.
Seriously, no one urged Qu Jianlei to activate the cave to find out what was going on.
After all, the boss’s injuries were too severe this time, and the things were already in hand. It didn’t matter whether we looked at it a day earlier or a day later.
However, Qu Jianlei knew what everyone was thinking, so he did some divination three days later, and the result was that there was no danger in exploring the cave.
Then he walked out of the secret room, activated the cave, and invited everyone to explore it together.
The cave is not very big, only about 10,000 square kilometers, with mountains, water, animals and plants, but no sun or moon.
But there is still a distinction between day and night, it’s just that the day is not that bright and the night is not that dark.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the cave is quite thin, and withered plants can be seen everywhere.
Those animals that were still alive all looked sickly, and there were not many of them.
Taoist Jiao couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't this cave... already on the verge of collapse?"
The portable cave dwellings of powerful people are mostly built by themselves. It is not enough to just form them. They also need to be warmed by spiritual energy.
If there is no supply of spiritual energy for a long time, the cave will degenerate until it collapses.
Although Wu Xuan is a powerful being who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience, he has become such a mess. How could he have any extra spiritual energy to give to the cave?
Taoist Jiao said casually, "It's time to replenish the spirit stones. Boss, you can't warm up this place now."
"If there aren't that many spirit stones, just replenish your spiritual energy," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Like in the Skyhook Maze."
Taoist Jiao and the spirit of the maze are disgusted with each other. He has never been into the maze, so naturally he doesn't know the current situation of the maze.
But his thinking ability is still pretty good, "Wait, you mean... the energy block drives the spiritual energy transformation?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, "This method of increasing spiritual energy is simple, effective and low-cost."
However, not long after the spirit gathering formation was built, spirit beasts rushed over in droves.
It is not surprising to say that in the cave dwellings of powerful beings who have achieved enlightenment, there are several Nascent Soul-level spirit beasts, and Golden Core-level spirit beasts should also be commonplace.
But there really aren't any. At best they are just at the Foundation Establishment Stage - equivalent to an A-level awakener, and there are only a few dozen of them.
But it’s not surprising. With such withered spiritual energy, even if a Jindan spirit beast can survive, its level will drop.
It is already very good to have dozens of people in the foundation-building stage now.
The IQs of these spiritual beasts may not be very high, but they obviously know the value of spiritual energy and can clearly identify the amount of spiritual energy.
They rushed to the vicinity of the spiritual energy conversion array, but were frightened by waves of terrifying aura.
They didn't dare to get close, but were reluctant to leave, so they could only circle around not far away.
Even though these spirit beasts seemed terribly weak in front of them, they could still burst out with astonishing power if they were not suppressed by their rank.
In particular, the temptation of spiritual energy to spiritual beasts is too great, and it is easy for them to fall into madness.
Qu Jianlei asked himself, when he was at level A, he would never dare to stand in front of this group of spirit beasts in this situation.
"It's not safe to do this," Taoist Jiao frowned and said, "The formation should be hidden so they can't find it."
“Now that it is openly displayed in the wild, it is not only difficult to keep it secret, but also more difficult to protect it.”
"It's not difficult," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Just add a defensive formation, but I don't have that much material at the moment."
This time, he came to do serious business and deliberately brought fewer combat equipment. He never expected to encounter such a thing.
However, this can still be called a "sweet trouble."
Even in the world of immortal cultivation, no one is so idle as to build a spiritual energy center in the wild outside the cave.
In order to protect the spiritual energy center from being harmed by spiritual beasts, don't we have to build a defense array? And then... someone has to look after it.
However, they do not need to send special personnel to guard it. Just put down a few robots, which are enough to ensure daily management and maintenance.
In fact, even the construction of a spirit gathering array can be done by robots - that's what the Skyhook Maze does.
However, when seeing the busy robot, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but think of the big-headed butterfly again.
Shaking his head, he gathered his thoughts and said, "Everyone, just walk around and try not to cause any damage."
Most of the team members have been to the Skyhook Maze, whether through legitimate means or not.
But no one dared to act recklessly inside, not only because they did not want to anger the spirit of the weapon, but they were also worried about being discovered by the imperial people.
But now in this cave, they can wander around freely without having to consider anything.
This cave is a little bit small, far smaller than the Skyhook Maze, but no matter what, it is the boss’s property!
Moreover, more than 10,000 square kilometers is actually not small.
While some people are wandering around and having fun, others are worrying about serious matters.
When Qu Jianlei was sitting cross-legged in meditation, Jia Shuiqing's consciousness came, "Boss, we found the secret room!"
Is there a secret room here? Qu Jianlei frowned. Is it necessary?
However, since someone reported it, he still wanted to understand the situation.
Two months ago, he wouldn't have needed to think too much and could have just sent his spiritual sense over.
However, now... it's not impossible to do it, but there's no need to force it. It won't be too hard to go and see it with your own eyes.
There are several places for cultivation in this cave.
Although it is dilapidated, it can be seen that in its heyday, it could easily accommodate two to three hundred people.
But there are no more than that. Although the portable cave is called portable, it is essentially just the personal property of the powerful.
The cave is full of spiritual energy, and it is a great fortune if disciples come in to do chores.
At best, if three or four more friends come and bring some entourage, two or three hundred people can temporarily live here, which is already a very large scale.
Many private caves do not even welcome outsiders to enter.
However, these residences have not been maintained and have long been dilapidated, as are the related facilities.
For example, there are only a few sparse spiritual herbs left in the spiritual medicine garden. The useful ones have been picked long ago, and the spiritual energy has withered in the later period, and no spiritual herbs can grow.
Even the alchemy furnace was gone in the alchemy room, and only a few kinds of elixirs were left.
There are some rare materials in the refining room - for cultivators, these things are of little use in this world.
Everything is filled with an air of desolation, which can be seen at a glance.
But by chance, Jia Shuiqing actually found a secret room deep in a pool of water.
In fact, the old lady herself was very surprised. This was originally a private cave, so why was there a need for a secret room?
Later she realized that just by looking at the layout of the cave, it was clear that the owner was not arrogant and had many friends.
So, there must be a lot of people who have been here, so the confidentiality is a little poor.
So the owner opened a secret room to store things that were useful to him.
It just so happened that Jia Shuiqing himself had the water attribute, and he discovered that this pool of water was unusually deep, and that the water contained considerable spiritual energy, which aroused his curiosity.
After a little thought, I found something quite strange under the water, and then I discovered a door to a secret room.
Jia Shuiqing did not try to break into the door easily, but directly informed the boss - since the boss had taken over the cave, everything was in control.
In fact, even if it was an ownerless cave, she might not dare to try it easily.
It’s not that she is timid, but the example of the boss is right there. Is it so easy to covet something with the power of leaving the body?
With the boss's ability, he managed to escape death. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are too many unknown mysteries.
When Qu Jianlei arrived, the others had already arrived - they could all use spiritual sense!
Seeing him coming, Jia Shuiqing raised his hand and cast a spell, "Divide the water..."
This is an out-of-body cave. If it were a normal time, it would be hard to say whether the Nascent Soul technique could easily break through the pool of water.
How could a hidden secret room be easily unlocked?
However, a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken. This cave has been in ruins for too long.
Jia Shuiqing's water-related techniques have truly reached the pinnacle.
She also studied other types of magic and had time to learn drawing talismans from her elders, with very good results.
But most of the time, she focused her energy on water-attribute magic.
Some people study all schools of thought, some study just one. Everyone has different choices, and no one is better.
Jia Shuiqing parted the pool of water and everyone flew down.
The secret room is more than 20 meters away from the water surface. It looks the same as the surrounding rocks, and is covered by a fairly thick layer of aquatic plants.
If Jia Shuiqing hadn't been so careful, others might not have discovered that there was a stone door here.
Qu Jianlei's mind moved, and he connected to the relevant locations of the cave, and suddenly discovered the hidden secret room.
Because his cultivation had not yet reached the level of out-of-body experience, he was unable to offer sacrifices to the cave dwelling, he simply collected it.
So now if I want to check the status of the cave, I can only look for it according to the map. Fortunately, it is not difficult to find this place.
Qu Jianlei tried to connect to the cave with his spiritual power, and then used his own authority to open the stone door easily.
When he walked into the stone gate, he couldn't help but think of the spirit of the weapon. If there was such a being in the cave, why would it be so difficult?
After entering the stone chamber, there are nine rooms inside. Most of the rooms are empty, and only two rooms have something in them.
In a larger room, there were actually twelve magical instruments displayed, nine of which were Nascent Soul level and three of which were Golden Core level.
As expected of a powerful being who has achieved the state of leaving the body, he has collected so many magical instruments.
Each magic weapon is covered with a ball of green light, which is obviously used to protect the magic weapon.
