The mouth of the cave is too small to be three feet square, so it is difficult to force Xi Fangping to hold a mace in his left hand and make it cling to his body and be washed away by the water. His right hand tentatively strokes his feet forward and pushes the water slowly and cautiously toward the ground.
After drilling for about ten feet, the channel with sudden slow water potential turned from vertical to horizontal, and at the same time, the mouth of the cave was much bigger. Xi Fangping was overjoyed. He naturally knew that he had drilled to the bottom, and now he must have been in the underground river, watching that he was about to reach his destination. Xi Fangping’s paddling drive was getting stronger and stronger.
This horizontal waterway is quite long, hundreds of feet long, not to mention the friar in the condensation period. Even the friar in the knot Dan period can’t think about moving freely in it. If Xi Fangping couldn’t breathe freely in the water, he would have died.
Xi Fangping is now at the bottom of a huge lake. The water in this lake is quite clear, and from time to time, there are several fish that are different from the outside. What surprises Xi Fangping is that there is still faint light at the bottom of this lake. You know, this lake must be hidden in the mountainside, where does the sunshine come from? This light can also come out from something unknown, which makes Xi Fangping feel confident in docking and harvesting.
Xi Fangping floated for forty or fifty feet, which made Xi Fangping’s eyes wide open. It turned out to be a large dark lake with hundreds of hectares of water plants swaying and small fish swimming freely. From time to time, you can see one or two things that move slowly and look like turtles swimming lazily by, ignoring Xi Fangping. The scenery at the bottom of the lake is hundreds of times more beautiful than Tianchi.
What surprised Xi Fangping even more was that the lake was located in a huge stalactite cave, and the top and both sides of the stalactite cave were inlaid with a large number of small stones with charming light, which made the whole stalactite cave beautiful and full of mystery. Xi Fangping had seen this kind of thing in the books of Hunyuan Sect, which was called night stone. The night stone is a high-grade product in the night stone. For monks, it is nothing but a late photo, but for mortals, it is a good treasure, and a thumb-sized night stone can sell for a hundred children.
It’s because Xi Fangping is not interested in the night stone, which can’t be exchanged for the lingshi. If he has a fancy for the monks instead of this kind of night stone, Xi Fangping slowly swims to the lake with a mace and climbs to the shore. After a little spin-drying, Xi Fangping walks towards the depths of the bell cave. He walks very carefully and keeps his hands clasped with the mace to prevent the monster beast from appearing. Xi Fangping can be sure that there will be some kind of monster beast in this place, but it is not known whether it is high-order or not.
The shore is full of strange rocks and there is not even a grass, but Xi Fangping is not discouraged. He is sure that there must be something valuable in this cave unless a monk gets there first. The reason is quite simple. He just tried to absorb an aura, but now the aura inside the cave is slightly stronger than the outside. Look down on this alone, it is enough for some small sects to grab the gate. From the shore situation, it seems that there is no trace of the monk stepping on it. At least, no one has set foot on such aura in recent hundreds of years, and some herbs will be bred. Xi Fangping is very confident.
Xi Fangping walked a few tens of feet by the light at the top of the cave. He now has a wisp of light on his right. It says that there are sub-holes in this cave, just like Hunyuan Cave, and there are more sub-holes and night stones than the main cave. Xi Fangping walked towards the light without thinking. The night stones said that the aura was thicker there, and maybe some Lingcao could be found inside.
Xi Fangping walked along the light into a cave that can only be entered sideways by one person. After walking for about ten feet, a beautiful picture appeared in front of his eyes. This is a small cave with a wall of about ten acres in Fiona Fang. The night stones are so dense that the cave is almost as bright as day. The light from the night stones is red, white and yellow, which together form a beautiful scenery that people can’t get tired of seeing.
But what makes Xi Fangping even more happy is that the bottom of the East-West Cave illuminated by beautiful light is very flat and covered with a big red flower plant about three feet high and topped with a bowl. The red flower is very fragrant and smells good.
"Chiyanghua!" Xi Fangping couldn’t help crying. In the field of repair, Chiyanghua is not a rare thing. Because Chiyanghua is an important auxiliary material for refining condensate Dan, many sects have to plant it when it is not needed. However, the efficacy of artificially planting Chiyanghua has always been about 50% longer than that of wild Chiyanghua, and its size is much worse than that of wild Chiyanghua. In the field of repair, the estimated value of an artificially planted Chiyanghua is a lingshi, but a wild Chiyanghua is worth at least three lingshi.
There is such a big gap between artificially planted red flowers and wild red flowers. The key point is that where there are red flowers, there are red bees, red flowers and red bees, and everyone is indispensable.
Theoretically, the monster beast in the realm of repairing truth is divided into fourteen orders, and the first-order monster beast has the strength of one to five layers of air-entraining; The second-order monster beast has six to ten layers of strength; The third-order monster beast is equivalent to the strength of the eleventh to fifteenth layers; The fourth-order monster beast is equivalent to the initial strength of condensation gas, and so on. The thirteenth-order monster beast is equivalent to the initial strength of deification, while the fourteenth-order monster beast is equivalent to the mid-term strength of deification.
In the fix-true realm, the 13th-order monster beast will occasionally appear once or twice in a thousand years, but the 14th-order monster beast is almost never seen. It’s quite simple. Once the monster beast has advanced to the 14th order, it will immediately find a place to hide like a monk in the middle of deification, and then it will soar to the fix-true realm after being repaired and consolidated.
Under normal circumstances, the monster beast advanced to the ninth order, that is, it has the spirit and wisdom equivalent to the final repair of Jiedan, and its body will turn into a semi-human; The tenth order, that is, when you have the initial strength of Yuan Ying, you will completely transform your human form, but there are exceptions, such as Hunyuan real people bringing fairy beasts and beasts from the celestial world, even if you fly to the spiritual world, you can transform your human form into a human form only when your strength reaches the level of Gu Jinxian.
Xi Fangping transformed the monster beast into a human form by transforming it into a human form, which is qualitatively different. After being transformed into a human form, the monster beast still retains its own characteristics. When the battle is fierce, it will show its true body and fully exert its strength, and it will return to its original shape immediately after death. It is different to transform its body into a human form completely, but human beings can get married and have no evil spirit. Except for maintaining some original characteristics, Ji is a perfect person.
Red bee is a unique first-order monster beast. It has the strongest strength in the realm of repair, but it only has five layers of air-bleeding. Normally, red bee has one or three layers of air-bleeding strength, and its roots will not enter the eyes of monks. Moreover, red bee is extremely dry and extremely difficult to train. Once stimulated, it will violently attack. This is why red bee can be transplanted, but red bee has never been successfully trained. The attack mode of red bee is also different from other monster beasts. Once the red bee is shot, it will die.
There is Xi Fangping who knows that the potential of red bees is not only quite simple, but red bees are just a hundred kinds of celestial relics. When Hunyuan immortal took the ancestor of red bees to the jade bee world, the jade bees struck hard, but they had the strength at the end of the Yuan baby. There were countless hands of ancient demons who died in the hands of jade bees. Although jade bees can still attack once in their lives, they are better than the number. Even the virtual masters may not be able to escape them.
Hunyuan immortals took away the Jade Bee after soaring again, leaving a large number of hybrid offspring of other bees. These descendants, like their ancestors, occasionally go to other exotic flowers and plants to collect honey, but their favorite is red flowers, so they are called red bees.
There are so many red flowers in this stalactite cave, so Xi Fangping can be sure that there must be red bees here, otherwise the red flowers wouldn’t be so brilliant. He was not in a hurry to move the red flowers, but sat cross-legged while waiting for the red bees to appear through this aura. Didn’t Master say that those celestial animals would recognize him by their breath? Master’s words are generally not wrong, so although Xi Fangping is almost not worried about the possibility of escape if a large group of red bees attack him.
After practicing for a week, Xi Fangping opened his eyes. Although the aura here is only a little stronger than the outside world, it has already made Xi Fangping suffer a lot. This meditation is as much as the aura absorbed twice outside. Xi Fangping is very happy that he is thinking that the aura here is only a little stronger, which is equivalent to two performances. If he returns to Hunyuanzong, wouldn’t it be easier for him to advance?
I want to return to Xi Fangping, but I don’t want to go back to Hunyuanzong now. Now he doesn’t even have a means of transportation and can’t climb such a high mountain. Secondly, he mainly found the heavenly axe instead of practicing himself as a fairy. In order to find the heavenly axe, he had to visit famous mountains and rivers everywhere, where he went to Hunyuan Sect to practice. Thirdly, he is afraid that the monks will follow him and reveal the secret of Hunyuan Sect, so he will not return to Hunyuan Sect unless he has to.
As soon as Xi Fangping opened his eyes, there was a red sun flower parked in front of him for an inch. The bees were all white, and his big eyes were staring straight at his head. It was very cute.
A familiar feeling flooded my mind, and Xi Fangping held out his hand toward the red bee without thinking. He never allowed other creatures to get close to him, but the red bee miraculously flew up and fell into the palm of Xi Fangping’s hand, and kept walking around and dancing with words, which was extremely exciting.
Xi Fangping was overjoyed. Master said that he has the breath of nine-claw golden dragon and basaltic beast, and these two beasts have always been the heads of the 100 immortals. Those immortal beasts will naturally see themselves as leaders, so they won’t care if they are taller than them. Now it seems that what Master said is true.
Xi Fangping tried to give full knowledge of the gods and scanned the red bee. Soon Xi Fangping got a response. The red bee flew around Xi Fangping and drew a strange glyph in the circle. Xi Fangping knew through classics that this Chinese character dance was not only a way for red bees to communicate with each other, but also a way for them to express goodwill and accept him with reservations, and was willing to see his master.
This is an adult red bee, which has about two layers of air bleeding, which is extremely low among monster beasts. Most first-order monster beasts can defeat it, but Xi Fangping knows that the biggest number of red bees lies in the fact that red bees have one layer of air bleeding strength when they are born, and their life span is much longer than that of ordinary bees. If there is no accident, a red bee can live to at least one hundred years old and can be advanced to about four layers of air bleeding, while the queen bee has five layers of air bleeding strength and the queen bee’s reproductive ability is quite strong. It will be able to produce enough red flowers and aura in a year.
After circling around Xi Fangping for more than a dozen times, the red bee suddenly flew up, and in a blink of an eye, it sank into a cave about four feet above the ground and about three feet square. After a quarter of an hour, more than 200 red bees flew out of the cave and danced around Xi Fangping as if to meet relatives who had never met for a long time.
Xi Fangping noticed that among the more than 200 dancing red bees, one was exceptionally large, reaching a little more than two inches in length, and the abdomen was particularly generous, which was much slower than other red bees. Obviously, this big bee is this nest of red bees. Because of food shortage and red bees always attack when they see the enemy. Normally, there are rarely more than 100 red bees in this nest, which is quite good. It is also estimated that there are no natural enemies in this stalactite cave. Red bees can live and grow freely if the number of red flowers is more.
Chapter 17 Jade Bee Pulp
Xi Fangping tried to give full knowledge of the gods and called a red bee. I didn’t expect the red bee to respond immediately. According to Xi Fangping’s request, it flew around in this large cave with an area of about an acre. Even the potbellied queen bee flew around with the bees. She was extremely excited. The master said that the celestial beasts were very United and the other party could give up everything. It seems that these little guys are very much to Xi Fangping’s liking.
I was thinking about calling all the red bees into the belt. Suddenly, the potbellied queen bee flew around in front of Xi Fangping and flew a few words. After dancing, she flew to the original three-foot square hole. Xi Fangping moved in her heart and hurriedly followed her into the hole. Although there were three feet, she climbed wider and wider. When she crawled about ten feet, the hole was already seven feet wide. Xi Fangping could walk freely inside.
After walking about twenty feet, a small hole with a square foot and a ceiling inlaid with night stones appeared in front of Xi Fangping. This bell floating hole is really wonderful, and it is connected to the cave. I know how many big holes and small holes there are. It is really a good place to live in seclusion.
As soon as I entered the cave, Xi Fangping was attracted by two things. One was that a beehive hung on the wall of the cave was about two feet in diameter, which was no different from other beehives, but it looked harder. The other was that there was a small tree three feet high with ten bright red fruits about the size of a thumb not far from the beehive.
"Red fruit!" Xi Fangping cried out in surprise. It’s unusual to get red fruits in the field of repair. It takes decades to produce them. Its main function is to increase the amount of aura absorbed by monks, which is 30 to 50 times more valuable than red flowers. More than these ten red fruits seem to have matured for a long time. If they are not picked, it is estimated that they will be wasted in a few years.
But the queen bee turned a deaf ear to the root of the red essence fruit, and kept circling around the hive as if telling Xi Fangping that what was in the hive was the real treasure. Xi Fangping was going to pick the red essence fruit first and then talk about it again. Seeing the anxious sample of the queen bee, he wanted to go to the edge of the hive and pick it up. It was quite heavy. I could see that there were really good things in it. Xi Fangping carefully stripped the hive, which was quite hard, but it was just like tofu in Xi Fangping’s hands. There were many holes in the hive. I still have some honey more than a little yellow royal jelly. Red bee honey and royal jelly are all good things, which are more valuable than red flowers, especially royal jelly, which is quite beneficial to Gao Xiu all the year round, and it is also some raw materials of Dan medicine.
But these royal jelly and honey didn’t attract much attention from Xi Fangping. His eyes were fixed on a hole in the middle. There were about three drops of snow-white gel in the hole. It looked unremarkable at all, but Xi Fangping knew that this kind of thing was precious jade bee pulp. It turned out to be three drops of jade bee pulp. Except for Hunyuan clan, people in the repair world knew about jade bee pulp.
Jade bee pulp is a kind of colloidal liquid produced in the bee hive. It can’t be repaired by monks, but it can make monks recover their aura quickly. Even if there is more aura, there is a limit to the consumption of aura in the process of fierce fighting. At this time, if a drop of jade bee pulp is used, the aura horse can be replenished. It is almost certain to win.
Red bees are descendants of jade bees. Under normal circumstances, red bees’ hives produce jade bee pulp by the method. However, there are also some hybrid red bees with few generations and no other bees. Their hives will produce red bee pulp and jade bee pulp at the same time. This kind of thing is recorded in the ancient books of Hunyuan Sect. When Hunyuan Sect was not destroyed, dozens of red bees produced dozens of drops of jade bee pulp every year. Most of Hunyuan Sect’s masters won the fight and also contributed to the jade bee pulp.
This nest of red bees has obviously stayed in the cave for quite a long time, and has been living in isolation for many generations, but its lineage is relatively much purer, which will generate a jade bee pulp. If this nest of bees is sent to Hunyuanzong for large-scale breeding, shouldn’t the jade bee pulp be endless?
After thinking about it, Xi Fangping put the beehive into a belt, and the jade bee pulp must be a regular jade bottle in the fix world, but Xi Fangping didn’t even take half a jade bottle with him, and the jade bee pulp is far better for high-ranking monks than for the object Xi Fangping. In this way, the friar needs a lingshi instead of this high-grade goods during the air-entraining period. Now the jade bee pulp is not very big for him. He needs to bring a few drops with him and then press the button.
Xi Fangping first came out and called all the red bees into the belt. Then he went back and picked all the red fruits and put nine into the belt. Then he carefully stuffed a red fruit into his mouth. Xi Fangping immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to practice.
Xi Fangping stayed in the stalactite cave for a whole day. At the same time, he lost two red semen fruits and bought a lot of red bee royal jelly. When Xi Fangping woke up, he was pleasantly surprised that his self-cultivation had advanced to the air-entraining four-layer red semen fruit. The effect was really good. No wonder the monks would spend a hundred lingshi to buy it.
