Chapter 165: Treasure Hunt
When he arrived at the Wuyun Islands, Ye Linyuan found the Wuyun Taoist.
After asking Taoist Wuyun to keep it a secret, Ye Linyuan told him the whole story.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Wu Yun frowned slightly. After lingering for a long time, he said, "The Golden Core Secret Realm is very important, and I'm afraid it's also full of risks."
"And can that old monster, Blood Soul, really be trusted?"
Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "We are all in the same boat. If we cannot trust each other, we will probably end up dead in the future."
"And with the strength of you and me, even if that old ghost Blood Soul and Taoist Heavenly Silkworm plot against us, we should be able to protect ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Wuyun nodded.
He was very clear about Ye Linyuan's strength. Both of them were in the late stage of foundation building. Even if Liu Xuanheng and the old ghost Xuehun were in collusion, they were definitely not soft persimmons that could be bullied by anyone.
So he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Liu Xuanheng is a gifted child of the Heavenly Star Sea Region. Since he wants to reach the Golden Core Realm, I don't think he would set up a trap to plot against you and me."
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said: "With the help of fellow Taoists, I now have a reliable backer."
In fact, after refining the Black Gold Sword Embryo and practicing the Thousand Illusions Sword Art, Ye Linyuan's current strength is already extraordinary. He can even fight against someone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And he added a Taoist priest of the Five Elements just in case.
Getting back to the topic, after convincing Taoist Wuyun, Ye Linyuan immediately returned to Yejia Island and began to prepare for the exploration of the Jindan Cave.
In the following year, Ye Linyuan purchased and sold dozens of treasures and formation-breaking talismans, and even personally refined a set of formation flags specifically used to break formations.
In addition, Ye Linyuan also took out the nine-headed foundation-building puppet in Ye Qinchu's hand and the five-headed foundation-building puppets treasured by the family.
There are a total of fourteen foundation-building puppets, including two puppets in the middle stage of foundation-building.
In addition, Ye Linyuan also put the Han Chi and the King Kong Giant Ape into his spirit beast bag as a trump card to use when necessary.
It has been thirty years since the King Kong Giant Ape started to build his foundation. In recent years, with the blessing of the Gengjin earth veins, his cultivation has progressed rapidly. His cultivation has already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and his overall strength is at the top level of the middle stage of foundation building.
Moreover, once the giant King Kong ape unleashes its bloodline magic, it can exert strength comparable to the seventh level of foundation building in a short period of time, which can help Ye Linyuan a lot.
It has been nearly forty years since Han Chi started to build his foundation. With the help of the dragon's inner elixir, his cultivation has progressed rapidly. Unknowingly, he has approached the sixth level of foundation building, which is almost the same as Ye Linyuan's progress.
Moreover, Han Chi has extraordinary combat power, and its overall strength is comparable to that of an ordinary eighth-level foundation-building cultivator. It can be a great help to Ye Linyuan when necessary.
With the help of these two combat beasts, Ye Linyuan felt more confident about exploring the Jindan Cave.
After packing up his things, he was ready to set off, and he did some divination to make some calculations. Unfortunately, since it was a cave dwelling in the late Jindan period, he was unable to work out the mysteries involved. He could only simply calculate the good or bad luck of the trip.
After confirming that it was not a dead end, Ye Linyuan did not delay and left Yejia Island that day.
Leaving Yejia Island, Ye Linyuan traveled through the vast deep sea and came to an uninhabited deserted island deep in the Tianxing Sea.
At this time, the old ghost Xuehun had been waiting for a long time. When he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "You came quite early."
"You and I are both middlemen, so we should come earlier."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then waited on the deserted island. Not long after he waited, two streams of light flew in from the sky and landed on the deserted island.
Ye Linyuan looked at the people who came and found that they were the Taoist Tiancan and the Taoist Wuyun.
"You two have been waiting for a long time."
Taoist Wu Yun landed beside Ye Linyuan, and said with a smile: "We just happened to meet on the road, so we rushed here together."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and saw Liu Xuanheng nodded slightly to him.
Everyone present was considered an old acquaintance, so there was no need to introduce anything too much. The old ghost of Blood Soul said, "The four of us are all good at formations, but formations are all-encompassing. Let's each talk about our own strengths."
Having said this, the Blood Soul Old Ghost said: "My Blood Soul Formation is good at dissolving formations and is most suitable for breaking formations."
"My Five Elements Reversal Formation is most suitable for blocking the five elements' qi, and it also has a certain suppressive effect on the earth veins."
Taoist Wuyun smiled and said that after he conquered the Wuyun Islands and obtained a large amount of wealth from the Liang family over the years, he refined a set of second-level medium-quality five-element magic array, and his overall strength had also improved significantly.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan said, "I am good at compound formations and water-attributed formations. I can use the power of the sea to suppress the power of the formations."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan in surprise.
The art of formation is extensive and profound, among which compound formation is the most complicated and profound. Ye Linyuan is good at compound formation, which shows that his attainments in formation are definitely not at the level of an ordinary second-grade superior formation master.
Thinking of this, Liu Xuanheng smiled and said, "I am also good at compound formations. This time I brought a set of second-order compound formations, which may be of some use in breaking the formation."
When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned.
A set of formations must be composed of at least three formation flags, and a complex formation is a large formation composed of many sets of formations.
Considering that Liu Xuanheng has seven or eight second-level spirit silkworms and has been preparing for this plan for many years, it can be seen that what he brought this time is definitely not an ordinary small-scale compound formation.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "With the help of fellow Taoists, it seems that breaking this formation will not be a problem."
"I think Fellow Daoist Ye's attainments in formations are also extraordinary."
Liu Xuanheng also smiled. If anyone present knew Ye Linyuan best, then he, Liu Xuanheng, would definitely be the one.
Over the years, Ye Linyuan had secretly purchased second-grade mid-quality spiritual silk from him several times, and even purchased quite a few kilograms of second-grade lower-quality silk. The two of them could be considered old acquaintances.
Seeing this, the old monster Xuehun smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's set off now."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and immediately followed the Blood Soul Monster, using a second-grade, top-quality treasure boat to head into the deep sea.
This time, they flew out of the Tianxing Sea and even crossed the edge of the Black Dragon Demon Realm, heading into the deep sea outside the Seven Domain Alliance.
They flew for more than 400,000 miles and were about to leave the edge of the Seven Domains Alliance. Taoist Wu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is the Golden Core Cave Mansion outside the Seven Domains Alliance?"
