The weather is always changing. The sun was shining just now, but now it's pouring rain. However, today's spiritual food is still not available, so Jiang You still has to go out. I heard that the talisman-making masters can refine rain-proof talismans.

I don't know if it's true, but now she can only get wet in the rain.

But just as she was about to go out, her consciousness felt that four people were approaching. Since she didn't know what they were here to do, she had to hide back to the stronghold to wait and see what would happen.

Unfortunately, they came just for the cliff cave where the stronghold is located. Even if they are monks, without spiritual energy protection, it would be difficult for them to run around in such heavy rain.

They soon discovered Jiang You hiding in the stronghold. Seeing that Jiang You's cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi training, the four of them were much less cautious. However, one of the tall male cultivators still said politely: "This is

Fellow Taoist, you built a rest house, right? Please forgive me for intruding, we just came here to take shelter from the rain, and we will leave after the rain passes."

Now that everyone came in directly, Jiang You could only nod, and then she began to observe the four people. Two men, one tall and one short, but the two women were slim and similar in appearance. The clothes were basically the same style, except that one was yellow and one was red.

It should be a pair of twins.

The color of the clothes should also represent the difference in their spiritual roots. After all, most monks like to wear colors that contrast with their spiritual roots. I don’t know if it can really increase the speed of cultivation.

Although the clothes of the four of them are not the standard clothes of the Lin family, they all have Lin family badges hanging on their waists. Their cultivation levels are between the seventh and eighth levels of Qi training. They should be elite disciples of the Lin family.

But for some reason, Jiang You feels that these elite disciples are easier to deal with than ordinary disciples like Lin Yao. Those ordinary disciples are not very strong and they are the best in the world when it comes to their tempers. In fact, they can only bully ordinary people.

But even so, he did not relax his vigilance because of this. Countless TV series and movies told him that introverted people are far scarier than those who are arrogant, because you never know when they will take action against you.

So Jiang Youye stopped talking and could only hope that the rain would stop soon so that these people could leave as soon as possible.

But after waiting for half an hour, Yu Xiao showed no interest. In order not to affect his cultivation, he had to take out an emergency ration from his storage bag. This was prepared in case he could not catch prey one day.

, it was actually a piece of wild boar meat wrapped in animal skin. After adding a pot of water, she cooked it by herself in the cliff cave.

The four Lin family disciples didn't take it seriously at first, but when they saw it was a portion of pork at the seventh level of Qi training, they couldn't help but become curious. There was nothing unusual about pork, but the woman in front of them had only the fourth level of Qi training.

"Did you kill this?" the tall man asked curiously.

"Yes." Jiang You nodded, "I was lucky enough to encounter a seriously injured wild boar that time, so I hunted it with all my strength. The rest of the meat was entrusted to others to be sold down the mountain. Now I only have this.

One piece."

After Jiang You finished speaking, he pretended to be very reluctant to give up.

"Don't worry, we have no intention of killing you." The short man said disdainfully, "Why are you covering your face? Is there anything you can't see others with?"

"I was injured by a wild boar. Please forgive me, brother." Jiang You said nonsensically. He did not dare to lift the veil. You must know that these are disciples of the Lin family and are very likely to know Lin Xu.

The short man was a little reluctant, but was stopped by the woman in black beside him.

"What's wrong with someone wearing a veil? Are you thinking that someone has a good figure?" the woman in red said angrily.

The woman in yellow also glared at the short man and then said softly to Jiang You: "Do you often hunt in this mountain?"

Jiang You nodded and said: "My family is an ordinary family, and we don't know how to do business. We can only maintain our current livelihood and practice by hunting."

The four of them looked at each other, as if they had reached some tacit understanding, and then the tall man asked: "Are you familiar with this area?"

"It's okay." Jiang You nodded, "But it's only limited to the activity areas of the fifth to eighth levels of monsters."

"Then can you be our guide?" the tall man asked again.

"Guide? But I still have to kill monsters, otherwise I will have to go hungry today." Jiang You shook her head and said, she did not want to have too many interactions with the Lin family disciples, and the other party's strength was seven or eight levels. Once

If any conflict really breaks out, she is really not sure that she will silence them all.

"Don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain." The tall man said, taking out a spar and saying: "This is the labor fee for you. If you can find the place we are looking for, we can give it to you again."

One."

Spirit Stone! You must know that the previous Yuan Stone can only be regarded as small change. This Spirit Stone is the real currency of the world of cultivation. This Spirit Stone is enough to buy a first-order low-grade elixir.

"Where are you looking for?"

Jiang You became interested for a moment. She didn't expect these people to be so wealthy. Is this the benefit of a big family? This also made him start to consider whether he should clear Lin Xu's suspicion before sneaking into the Lin family. Although the risks are still the same, there are opportunities.

Coexisting with risks, if he can still use his current meridians to become famous in one fell swoop, he might even be able to get the full support of the Lin family.

It's a pity that Lin Xu's dissatisfaction is not so easy to clear up. Many disciples died, but only the weakest Lin Xu survived. This always needs a reliable explanation.

Seeing Jiang You take the spirit crystal, the tall man said with satisfaction: "To be honest, a few months ago we were surrounded by monsters in the mountains and our lives were hanging by a thread. Fortunately, we were rescued by a senior foundation builder. At that time, we were seriously injured and just looked at him.

When I returned home, I remembered to express my gratitude now that I had recovered from my injuries, but I still could not find the residence of that senior. I only remembered a poem left by that senior."

"The sun lingers under my feet, the wind sweeps away the clouds and dust, as if I hear the sound of the palace, and I bow my head to Penglai." The woman in yellow read slowly.

What kind of foundation-building monk is this? He is clearly an immortal! Is it so easy to encounter Penglai Immortal Island in the legend? Just look down! But considering that those literati like to use exaggeration, it is not difficult to understand.

.

"This should be on the top of a mountain somewhere, right?" Jiang You thought thoughtfully.

"Of course we know this." The woman in red said impatiently: "But there are dozens of peaks in Huxiao Mountain, and the senior's cave is extremely secretive. How can we find it?"

The woman in black also asked and nodded: "So we want to ask our friends if they have seen any matching caves or caves or anything like that?"

Jiang You pondered for a while and then said: "I have seen several similar places. It is the area where the nine-level monsters move. I have only watched it from a distance. They are all caves on the cliff. However, the entrances of the caves are covered with weeds.

The grass doesn't look like it has been inhabited recently."

"Please take us to see it quickly." The tall man said excitedly, as it seemed that this was very consistent with the place they were looking for.

Jiang You pinched the spirit stone, touched the full storage bag, and then took a long breath and said: "Forget it, I will take you to see it, but you have to protect me, after all, the demon at the ninth level of Qi training

The beast is not something I can deal with."

The woman in yellow smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister, our Lin family is a famous family in Xinghai Town, and we are also a member of the Huo family army. Naturally, we will not let the people who help us get hurt in the slightest. Just follow me later, I will

Do your best to protect yours."

Jiang You nodded, but his heart was full of doubts. Are these people really the Lin family? How come they are completely different from the Lin family in his impression.

But no matter what, she set off with a few people. There were three targets that met the requirements, and she went to the nearest one first.

The entrance of the cave was wide enough to open a cave. However, the entrance was steep and full of rocks, and it did not look like it was inhabited. But even so, the five people climbed into the cave cautiously.

"Is there anyone here? I'm here to thank my seniors." The tall man shouted while exploring the cave.

The four of them followed immediately, but soon heard strange noises in the cave. The noises got closer and closer, and in the end they turned out to be a group of vampire bats at the eighth level of Qi training!

"It's not here, retreat quickly!" The tall man used his long sword to drive away the bats while retreating, but he was still bitten several times by the bats.

The others were also retreating while killing. It must be said that these four people were quite strong. They could still maintain the situation in the face of dozens of vampire bats at the eighth level of Qi training. Especially the woman in yellow, she actually tried her best to protect her.

Jiang You, although Jiang You was also bitten twice, the woman in yellow obviously had more injuries.

This also made Jiang You wonder if he was overthinking. Not all Lin family disciples were like Lin Yao. You must know that the Lin family was also a member of the Huo family army.

Finally, the five people finally exited the Bat Cave. Jiang Youye quickly used wood-based exercises to detoxify. Seeing that the others were more seriously injured, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: "I'm sorry, I took you the wrong way. You need me to help you."

Detoxify?”

"Thank you! But we all carry the antidote with us." The tall man smiled bitterly, "You don't need to blame yourself. You are not wrong. It's just bad luck. I ask you to continue to lead the way."

The woman in yellow also said softly: "My sister is fine. It's all my fault that you were injured because of my sister's incompetence. But don't worry, if we can find your senior's cave, we will compensate you."

Jiang You nodded slightly, then he pointed to a mountain peak on the right and said, "The second place is behind that mountain. If not, we have to find the third place."

The tall man nodded slightly, and then led everyone in the direction pointed by Jiang You. This place was already deep in the mountains, and the monsters moving around were extremely powerful, which made everyone start to be cautious.

Fortunately, the five people were walking at the junction of the monsters' spheres of influence. Perhaps because of the mutual checks and balances between the monsters, no powerful monsters appeared, and they quickly saw the entrance to the cave.

It is a cave entrance located next to a waterfall, and because the outside of the cave is covered with various plants, it is really difficult to find it without looking carefully at the sea.

The eyes of the four Lin family members also shone. This was indeed a paradise. They must have come to the right place this time.

But at this moment, there was a sound of chirping in the grass, as if a large number of small animals were crawling. When one of the beetles appeared in everyone's sight, the tall man couldn't help but shout: "No

Well, they are soul-eating insects! They have no vision, but they can smell the smell of blood, and then burrow into the wounds to devour spiritual power and flesh and blood. We are all covered with wounds now. If they burrow into the wounds, we will be dead."

As soon as the man finished speaking, countless soul-eating insects crawled out of the grass insects. There were hundreds of them wherever he looked, not to mention the large army in the grass.

"We'd better go back first, it's still too late to run away." Jiang You suggested.

"No!" The woman in red shook her head and said, "How can we go back when we are already here?"

The four members of the Lin family had a unanimous opinion. They all ran towards the mountain, having reached their goal and there was no turning back.

There were too many soul-eating insects, and Jiang You also had wounds on his body. If he was left alone, he would definitely die, so she could only try her best to keep up. If the cave ahead was really the cave of Senior Foundation Establishment, then the crisis might really be lifted.

The five people quickly ran to the bottom of the cliff, and unexpectedly a rusty iron chain was pulled down from the platform in front of the cave.

"Is this the way the senior took up the mountain? Are we in the right place?" the woman in yellow said in surprise.

The tall man shook his head and said: "The foundation-building monk can fly with a sword. This iron fence may only be used by him to receive guests, but at least it proves that we are not wrong. Everyone should hurry up."

The four members of the Lin family climbed up the chain, but Jiang You could only follow closely. What about the promised protection? In the end, he felt forgotten. But it was right to think about it. He was needed to lead the way before, and he still had

Utilization value, now that the cave is right in front of us, he is not that important.

But at the moment when he was about to climb onto the platform, the woman in yellow who had already climbed onto the platform finally reached out to Jiang You.

Jiang Youshun held the hand of the woman in yellow, and saw a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face.

A burst of spiritual power came from the palm of the woman in yellow, and Jiang You was blown away. He also fell off the cliff and was submerged by the sea of ​​insects.

"How can the reserved cave of the Foundation Establishment monks be known to outsiders? Death is also a kind of relief for ordinary people like you." The woman in yellow still smiled lightly.

"She's just a pariah, why are you talking so much nonsense?" The short man finally couldn't help but said, "If she were her, I would just put the knife on her neck and bring us here."
