Chapter 1755
Shushan Game 21
Liu Tong was unaware of the game system's subsequent operations; he was currently happily sharing the treasures left behind by Cui Ying with the three of them.
Cui Ying's magical artifacts were destroyed by Saint Gu Jiayin, but all of her cultivation techniques were revealed in the form of booklets.
Aside from demonic techniques, Cui Ying revealed quite a few righteous spells, all of which she learned from Saint Gu Jiayin.
Among them, the "Five Elements Escape Technique" and the "Innate Separation and Union Divine Light" are the most powerful.
Liu Tong and the other two chose the "Innate Separation and Union Divine Light" and other orthodox methods, and gave the "Five Elements Escape Method" and demonic techniques to Yun Congying.
Yun Congying learned the "Five Elements Escape Technique" himself, and took the demonic cultivation method back to give to the other members of the guild as a reward.
Liu Tong and the other two learned the "He Sha Qi Shu" (The Book of Harmonious Sand), a technique for cultivating the Five Elements, whose subtlety surpasses that of the "Five Elements Escape Technique".
They naturally looked down on the "Five Elements Escape Technique".
They killed the boss, a level above their own, and gained a lot of experience points, which allowed them to level up one or two levels.
Unfortunately, such a good thing can never happen again.
After leaving the room where Cui Ying was being held, the four of them took a different route and continued their exploration.
They came to a doorway where a monk was sitting.
The monk appeared to be in his forties, with a refined and benevolent appearance, looking every bit the enlightened master.
Liu Dong guessed the identity of the person: Li Ning, the biological father of Li Yingqiong, the protagonist of Shushan.
Li Ning is a big shot. Although he has only been cultivating for a short time in this life, he cultivated for a thousand years in his previous life.
In his previous life, Li Ning followed Master Bai Mei, one of the most powerful figures in Buddhism and Taoism, to cultivate. After reincarnation, he was taken in by Master Bai Mei again. With the help of the monk Bai Mei, he awakened his memories of his past life and regained his power.
Therefore, although he only cultivated for a few years in this life, his strength was already the same as that of the Three Immortals and Two Elders of Emei.
Li Ning was slightly surprised when he saw the four people. He said, "Saint Guga doesn't like men. You'd better leave quickly, lest you lose your lives here."
He spoke weakly, and seemed to be injured as well.
This was only because Saint Gugain was mindful of Li Ning's past life's help to her, so she only allowed Li Ning to be injured.
This shows how much Saint Gugain disliked men.
Liu Tong pointed to the jade token in Liu Pei's hand and said, "We have tokens given by the Holy Maiden, which allow us to enter the Illusionary Wave Pool once."
Li Ning: "I see."
He took two steps to the side, clearing the door behind him.
Liu Tong: "Thank you, Senior Li."
Li Ning asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"
Liu Tong: "I have heard about the senior's affairs and know about the connection between the senior and the Holy Maiden."
Li Ning assumed they knew about him from Saint Gugain, so he said nothing more and watched the four of them walk inside.
Li Ning sat down and continued to use the prayer beads to heal his wounds.
As Liu Dong and his companions traveled, they witnessed the magical beauty of the Illusionary Wave Pool.
The mountain walls here are covered with many exotic flowers and plants, which are beautiful against the backdrop of the crystal walls.
Along their journey, the four of them picked many rare and exotic flowers and herbs, which were all excellent materials for alchemy.
They entered another stone chamber, and the first thing they saw was a screen.
The screen depicts a pool of water with two tiny figures swimming inside.
The two had health bars above their heads, and they were about to die.
Yun Congying's heart was filled with anticipation, and he asked, "Should we make a move?"
He gestured towards his neck. Liu Tong: "The game can't let us keep getting away with things. These two little figures shouldn't be able to attack."
Yun Congying tried to launch an attack, but it was absorbed by the screen and did not hit the two little figures.
Yun Congying sighed, "You can only take advantage of a bargain once."
Huo Yifeng: "I wonder who these two are? Do they have any missions assigned to them?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the woman among the two figures spoke up: "We are two wandering immortals from West Kunlun. We found a will in the Island Palace Sea Kingdom and learned about the location of the treasure here and many ways to break the spell. We came here to search for the treasure. But we were caught off guard and trapped by a water escape technique. We ask you to help us, and we will surely repay you in the future."
Liu Dong knew who these two villains were; they were Yin Sutang and Chi Chengzi, the lovers.
Neither of them are bad people, they're just a little petty.
In the original story, although the two were released from behind the screen by Li Yingqiong and Yi Jing, Yi Jing took Li Yingqiong to find the treasure first, which delayed them a lot of time, causing them to lose a hundred years of cultivation even after being released.
For two years, he harbored resentment towards the three people and later caused trouble for Li Yingqiong and the Emei disciples several times. In the end, he brought about his own death and had to undergo physical sacrifice to be reincarnated.
Liu Dong and his group arrived only a few minutes later than Li Yingqiong and her two companions.
As Yin Sutang asked for help, a mission to rescue the two appeared on the game panels of the four players.
The four people clicked to accept the request, searching for a way to release the two people.
Having read the original work, Liu Dong quickly "discovered" a method and released the two.
Although the two did not lose their century-old cultivation this time, they still suffered considerable losses and had no energy left to search for treasures. They gave each of the four people a magic weapon and left.
Liu Dong and the other three continued their exploration.
They arrived at a room containing a large cauldron, and inside the room hung a painting of Saint Gugain.
Liu Tong knew that Saint Gu Jiayin's primordial spirit had not ascended to the West, but was imprisoned in the deepest part of this Illusionary Wave Pool.
This painting contains a portion of the primordial spirit of Saint Gugain.
Saint Gugain was extremely powerful; even the four of them combined were no match for her.
Saint Gugain, however, utterly despised men...
Liu Tong thought it best not to let Saint Gu Jiayin see them, so she pulled the three of them away, preventing them from entering the room.
Liu Pei: "Why don't we go in? I think that cauldron is extraordinary; it must contain magical treasures and elixirs."
It naturally contained magical treasures and elixirs, but the elixirs were not yet ready, and all the magical treasures inside had been taken by Li Yingqiong.
Liu Tong: "Someone has already come."
Liu Pei recalled the monk he had encountered before: "Was he traveling with that monk?"
Liu nodded and explained to the three of them Li Ning and his relationship with Li Yingqiong.
The three people were speechless with astonishment.
Both father and daughter are favored by Heaven!
They also learned that some Emei disciples had already explored the Illusionary Wave Pool before them.
The NPCs have probably already taken all the good stuff.
However, their exploration of the Illusionary Wave Pool was not a loss. Not only did they collect many rare flowers and herbs to refine pills, but they also obtained four magical treasures from the Kunlun Immortal.
Most importantly, they killed a major boss and obtained top-tier cultivation techniques.
We've made quite a bit of progress.
Moreover, Yun Congying also learned that the Emei Sect was about to take action against the Illusionary Wave Pool.
A large-scale dungeon event is about to begin here.
As the local power brokers, the Fengyun Guild needs to prepare early! (End of Chapter)
