Although Ningqi Dan is famous, the materials are not so easy to find. Other accessories are not so good, such as red flowers, which are planted in all major sects, as many as you want. However, the main ingredient of Ningqi Dan is snake gall, but it is not so easy to find. With the increasing demand for the number of condensate pills in the fix-true world, the number of spirit snakes has also decreased sharply. By thousands of years ago, spirit snakes had almost disappeared in other parts of Wu.

However, the snake cave is an exception. Lingshe Cave is about 5,000 miles away from the entrance of Yunmenjian Mountain. It is a wonderful place. The spirit snake cave is quite large. Up to now, no one knows how big and deep it is. Only know that there are a lot of spirit snakes in the spirit snake cave, which is enough to meet the needs of the whole kingdom of Wu.
However, you can’t go into the Snake Cave if you want to, and I don’t know what’s going on. There is a large array of protecting holes at the mouth of the cave, which is so powerful that even the monks at the end of Yuanying can’t break it. It is generally believed in the field of fix-true that the snake cave is a place where the ancient monks used to breed snakes. Therefore, the ancient monks set up a large array at the cave entrance to protect the snakes inside. More than a thousand years ago, there was a monk at the end of Yuanying who was self-sustaining and advanced, and forced his way in when the snake cave was not opened. As a result, he hasn’t come out yet, and no one has seen him again. It is estimated that he has already been swallowed up by the snake cave.
Estimation is thinking about leaving some legacy for the later monks. The ancient monk did some tricks when he laid out a large array of holes. Every once in a while, the snake cave will be opened once, allowing monks to go in and hunt snakes. However, this time has no regularity at all, ranging from 20 to 30 years to hundreds of years. One year before each opening, there will be a vision at the entrance of Lingshe Cave, telling the monks that in another year, you can go in.
At the beginning, in order to hunt more snakes and refine more condensate pills, various sects sent high-ranking monks in. However, they were surprised to find that because of the existence of the large array, let alone the high-ranking monks, even the monks in the condensation period could not wield real power in it, so that there was even a big farce in which the monks in the Yuan infant period died in the hands of the monks in the bleeding period. In particular, the high-ranking monks who enter the Snake Cave will be reduced to the air-entraining period when they come back, and some monks can only stay in the air-entraining period from now on, and they can’t push their luck for life. After thousands of years of exploration, it has been found that only monks in the bleeding period can fully exert their power in it, and therefore, those who enter the snake cave have become monks with more than ten layers of bleeding.
However, although there are a large number of snakes in the snake cave, it is not so easy to kill. The cultivation of the spirit snake itself is equivalent to bleeding ten layers of monks, plus it is good at stealth. It is quite difficult to kill the spirit snake by often using the terrain in the spirit snake cave to deal with the monks entering the cave. Therefore, in order to compete for the snake, the monks began to kill each other, so that every time they entered the snake cave, it would be quite good to have 20% to 30% out.
Things have evolved to the present, and entering the snake cave has simply become synonymous with suicide. However, it is difficult to find the snake in other places now. Therefore, the major sects can only increase their rewards and encourage their disciples to enter the snake cave to kill the snake. Of course, there is an unwritten rule in most sects, but any elite disciple can’t be sent to the Snake Cave. Once it is lost, it will deal a great blow to the sects. Therefore, the main force who enters the Snake Cave becomes a general disciple. Disciples who enter the Snake Cave at each gate party are rewarded with a very rich magic weapon, a pill, and a charm. The most attractive thing for ordinary disciples is a condensate Dan. Also, everyone in the elite disciples will automatically get a condensate Dan, so naturally there is no need to go into the snake cave to fight hard.
The role of Ningqi Dan is known to monks. Therefore, there are a few people who want to enter the snake cave for a try, although the number is small. Every time the Snake Cave is opened, major sects will publicize it among ordinary disciples to boost their morale. Moreover, the number of people entering the Snake Cave is not limited. As long as there are more than ten layers of air-entraining, as long as you have the courage to fight with your life, you can go in. Of course, all the disciples who went in were disciples of major sects. Although those scattered practitioners were also eligible to go in, even if they got snake gall and successfully came out of the hole, they could only sell snake gall to major sects at best. The scattered practitioners simply did not have the ability to refine condensate gas pills by themselves.

Chapter 35 Snake Cave (below)
Only Xi Fangping knows what the so-called spirit snake, the so-called spirit snake cave, is all about. The original name of the spirit snake is not called the spirit snake, just because they live entirely by attracting aura, and snake gall has special effects, so it will be called the spirit snake by later monks.
120,000 years ago, Hunyuan immortal brought a large number of fairy beasts to the lower bound. He was surprised to find that the nine golden snakes among the fairy beasts especially liked to feed on the spirit snakes. Therefore, in order to ensure the food source of hydra, he specially built this snake cave, and laid a large array to protect the cave outside. Who is Hunyuan Immortal? He is a serious ancient immortal. He laid a large array, which can be so easily broken, let alone a monk at the end of Yuanying, and even a monk in the middle of deification, don’t even think about entering the large array when the snake cave is not opened.
As for why the large array is opened irregularly, the reason is quite simple. This large array of hole protectors is operated by its own aura, and its own aura is sometimes used up. Therefore, at regular intervals, the large array of hole protectors will automatically change its function from protecting holes to absorbing aura from the outside. At this time, if there are monks who enter the cave during the gas condensation period, because there are more reiki in their bodies, the large array of holes will naturally be impolite and will transfer the objects that absorb reiki to these monks. At this time, if a monk goes in during the gas condensation period, let alone maintain his own power, even the cultivation will be deprived of a clean place by protecting the large array of holes. Because this spirit snake cave is a breeding ground specially opened for the nine-headed golden snake and its offspring Sanwu snake, Hunyuan immortals made moves in the formation, and only Sanwu snake can grow freely in it without being affected by the large array of cave protection.
It’s the friar in the bleeding period, because his aura is almost negligible, and he ignores the fundamental principle of protecting the large array of holes, and absorbs aura from the outside world and the snake cave on his own. Therefore, the friar in the bleeding period will fully wield his power in it, and will not be scattered. Moreover, due to the existence of the large array of protecting holes, the Gods’ knowledge has been greatly influenced, at least reduced by about 90%. A Godsworn with fifteen layers of air bleeding can reach the range of God knowledge in the hole, only about twenty feet at most, which is not much different from a Godsworn with five layers of air bleeding.
After the immortal of Hunyuan ascended again, he took the nine-headed golden snake with him, but the descendants of the nine-headed golden snake and the black snake stayed behind. This is the three-headed black snake that almost no one in the fix-up world knows. More than 10,000 years ago, Hunyuanzong also sent his disciples in the air-entraining period to sneak in while the snake cave was open, and now there are traces of Sanwu snake.
At that time, the Sanwu snake, though only three snake heads, was a long way off compared with its ancestor, the Nine-headed Golden Snake. However, it already had the cultivation at the end of the knot Dan. If it weren’t for the fact that Brother Hun Yuan Zong who entered the cave took a few celestial beasts, Sanwu snake felt very kind and returned to Hun Yuan Zong with that disciple, it is estimated that the disciple who entered the cave would have already died. The existence of Sanwu Snake is only known by Hunyuan Sect, which is secretive about it and secretive about the origin of Lingshe Cave. Therefore, the fix-true circle knows nothing about it.
XiFangPing know, thirty years ago, the snake cave has been opened once, he thought, it will take decades to open again, he was ready to wait for the snake cave to open again, go in and look for the whereabouts of Sanwu snake, unexpectedly, the snake cave opened so soon. XiFangPing therefore made up his mind, no matter how to go into the snake cave. If he can find the whereabouts of Sanwu snake, he still wants to capture some snakes alive and let them thrive in Hunyuan Sect. The spirit snake is different from other monster beasts. It lives by absorbing aura. There are plenty of fairy spirits in Hunyuan Sect. I believe that the spirit snake will have a good life in it.
Xi Fangping swaggered towards the doorman. Because he had made great contributions in breeding tigers, lions and beasts, although he was just a general disciple, he enjoyed the same treatment as the monk at the beginning of condensate gas. Therefore, the doorman didn’t dare to embarrass him, and hurriedly ran in to inform Zhang’s head. Soon, Xi Fangping was allowed in.
When I entered the room, Xi Fang was flat, and there were many people in it, not only more than 20 deacons in the condensation period, but also more than 50 ordinary disciples in the air-entraining period. Look at those ordinary disciples, all of whom are nervous with a hint of excitement and perseverance. Anyone can see that they should be the ones who voluntarily entered the Snake Cave to fight for the gas.
Seeing that Xi Fangping came in, Zhang Zhangmen smiled: "Teacher Xi, you said it would take three years at least and five years at most. Now it’s just five years before you arrive. What a letter."
Xi Fangping made a salute to Zhang Zhangmen and other deacons, and said respectfully, "The younger generation took the tiger, lion and beast out for five years, but fortunately they did not disgrace their mission."
Zhang Zhangmen glanced at Xi Fangping with his divine knowledge, nodded and said, "It seems that experience is a very good practice method for my nephew. My nephew has been in Yunmenjian for five years, and he has not made any progress. He has been staying at the seventh floor of the air intake. Unexpectedly, he just went out for five years and actually advanced to the eleventh floor. Even those elite disciples are not as fast as you."
Xi Fangping had long thought about his words and smiled: "The younger generation used to be an escort before entering the realm of repairing truth. The younger generation knows that the skill can not be practiced in meditation in the sect, but must be practiced on the tip of a bloody knife. After five years of killing, the sword has been stained with the blood of countless monster beasts. Whether it is victory or defeat, it plays an extremely important role in the younger generation’s understanding of heaven, and it is a rich wealth. "
Zhang Zhangmen thought for a long time, then shook his head: "Teacher Xi’s nephew has a special idea. Although I can’t agree, I have to admit that your practice method is quite effective. Ok, Master Xi, let me see how advanced the tiger lion beast has been after five years of killing. "
When two tigers and lions, six feet tall and two feet long, with a pair of feet long little wings on their backs, appeared majestically, everyone gasped. Zhang Zhangmen couldn’t hide his horror and couldn’t help shouting: "Five-order spirit beast, in just five years, the tiger lion beast has directly advanced from the third order to the fifth order, and it has grown wings?"
Xi Fangping proudly made up a lie: "Yes, master, it is precisely because the tiger lion beast has just advanced to the fifth order and may not be advanced again in a short time that I thought of bringing it back. Otherwise, I thought of spending more years outside." At the time of the fourth order, the tiger, the lion and the beast had jointly killed several monster beasts of the fifth order, and they had jointly driven away a monster beast of the sixth order. The advanced degree of it was a bit incredible even in the next place. "
Zhang Zhangmen rubbed his hands excitedly and repeatedly said, "Well, it’s really great. The strength of the tiger lion beast has always been strong. The fifth-order tiger lion beast can draw a tie with a monk at the end of gas condensation. Two fifth-order tiger lion beasts cooperate, and their strength is close to that of a monk at the beginning of Dan, which makes our faction’s strength virtually increase by one point. In particular, the tiger lion beast has grown wings. As far as I know, there are very few tigers, lions and beasts that can grow wings in the current fix-true world. According to records, once the tiger, lion and beast grow wings, it means that they still have considerable advanced potential. As long as they are given time, the wings behind them will grow whole sooner or later. At that time, the tiger, the lion and the beast will be tied with a monk who was a baby, and our strength in Yunmenjian can at least go up a step. "
Looking at Xi Fangping, Zhang Zhangmen’s eyes showed approval and said kindly, "Teacher Xi, you have made great contributions. These two tiger and lion beasts are the highest-ranking spirit beasts that have appeared in Yunmenjian in the past thousand years. Teacher Xi’s nephew has given the tiger and lion beasts a new life in a special way, and you have contributed greatly. Merit is rewarded, which is the rule of Yunmenjian. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want, an instrument, a stone, a charm or a pill? As long as it is not too much, I will satisfy you. "
All the people present looked at Xi Fangping with envy, envy and appreciation in their eyes. Also, Zhang Zhang was too generous this time. Everyone thought that Xi Fangping wanted some good instruments. After all, he beat a ten-story monk with a medium-order instrument with only a mortal weapon. If Xi Fangping had a high-order instrument in his hand, it would be invincible among monks of the same order.
Xi Fangping thought for a moment and said modestly, "Actually, it is only the duty of the younger generation to raise tigers, lions and beasts well. If the head teacher insists on a reward, please grant the younger generation two requests. "
Zhang Zhangmen nodded: "Come on, Master Xi’s nephew, it’s those two."
"Base one, that is, please ask the head guy to agree that the younger generation can hide hundreds to thousands of small ones! Look at the second floor. The head teacher should also know that the younger generation always likes a hundred to ten thousand small! Said, especially like to see all kinds of anecdotes in the field of fix true, the younger generation training methods of tigers, lions and beasts, are also derived from the book. However, it’s too small to hide a hundred to ten thousand! Speaking of a related book, the younger generation has all read it, and it is really boring to have no books to read. "
Zhang Zhangmen nodded indifferently: "OK, you have made great contributions in training tigers, lions and beasts, and you are already enjoying the treatment of monks in the gas-condensing period. Go and hide a hundred to ten thousand small ones! Say that the second floor is a hundred to ten thousand small! Say, also should be. However, the books on the second floor are all engraved in the jade slips. You don’t have enough knowledge of gods, and it is estimated that you will be exhausted after reading a book. However, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, you have plenty of time. You can read a book every few days, which is also a pretty good practice method for the gods. Ok, I promised you the first request. What about the second request? "
Xi Fangping looked at Zhang Zhangmen, and said in an unusually calm tone, "Please ask Master Zhang to allow the younger generation to go to Lingsnake Cave."
Zhang Zhangzhang froze, and everyone present froze. Xi Fangping has trained tigers, lions and beasts, which can be regarded as a great contribution to Yunmen River. He should have a bright future in Yunmen River, and he can’t automatically put forward to take risks in Lingshe Cave.
After a while, Zhang Zhangmen said, "Teacher Xi, how dangerous it is for you to go into the snake cave. Every snake in the snake cave has a skill of breathing about ten layers. Even if you fight alone, it is not so easy for you to deal with. What’s more, there are many snakes in the snake cave. Once you go in, you have to face the continuous attack of snakes. Do you know that? "
Xi Fangping nodded: "The younger generation knows."
"Every year, there are generally thousands of monks who enter the Snake Cave, and monks kill each other for the snake gall. There are many more monks who die in the hands of the same kind than those who die in Lingshekou. Of the thousands who enter the cave every year, only two or three hundred people can come out alive. Do you know this?"
"I know."
Zhang Zhangmen’s voice grew louder: "So, Master Xi, why did you go into the Snake Cave?"
Xi Fangping’s face was very calm and he said lightly, "The younger generation also wants to coagulate Qi Dan."
Zhang Zhangmen thought for a moment, and said softly, "Teacher Xi, you are the disciple of Yunmenjian who knows how to train spiritual beasts best in the past thousand years. You can train the tiger lion beast into such a cultivation in a short time, not to mention in Yunmenjian, and it is rare to see it in the whole field of repairing the truth. As long as you continue to work hard, I believe that in less than a hundred years, you can make the tiger, lion and beast advance to the seventh or eighth order. At that time, you will be the hero of our Yunmenjian, and I will be the master and reward you with a condensate Dan. "
Xi Fangping shook his head: "No, master. Although the younger generation looks young, in fact, it is over 60 years old. If we don’t advance the gas condensation period, the younger generation can only live for more than 100 years at most. When the tiger, lion and beast advance to the seventh or eighth order, the younger generation will be dying. Even if we get the gas condensation Dan, what’s the use? "
Zhang Zhangmen thought for a long time before biting his teeth and said, "Master Xi, if you can make the tiger lion beast advance to the sixth level within 30 years, I will decide and give you a condensate Dan."
Xi Fangping was unmoved and still shook his head: "No, master, the younger generation wants to get the condensate Dan as soon as possible. Moreover, the practice method of the younger generation has always been different from that of other monks. Only in endless killing can the younger generation advance faster. For the younger generation, it is a good opportunity to enter the snake cave, not only to get the condensate pill, but also to improve the cultivation of the younger generation. Why not? As for the danger, there are risks in the field of fix true, at any time and any place. Even if you stay in Yunmen River, you may be possessed by demons, thus losing your whole body’s cultivation. The younger generation knows that if there is no danger, the younger generation will not want to go. "
Zhang Zhangmen was stunned for a long time, and then he said faintly, "Teacher Xi, have you made a decision?"
XiFangPing nodded heavily.
"Well," Zhang Zhangmen said in a heavy voice, "since I promised to meet your requirements, I can’t break my word. You can go to the Snake Cave, but you have to leave the tiger, lion and beast behind."
Xi Fangping thought for a moment, called the tiger lion beast back into the spirit beast bag, and then handed the spirit beast bag to Zhang Zhangmen, saying, "Uncle Zhang, the tiger lion beast won’t listen to anyone except the younger generation. If you put the tiger lion beast in the beast cage, something might happen. At present, the cultivation of Tiger, Lion and Beast has reached the fifth order, and its fighting capacity is strong. No one can subdue them except the Godsworn of Jiedan period. I think the leader should not let the elders of Jiedan period serve as the keeper of Tiger, Lion and Beast. Tell you what, let the tiger, lion and beast stay in the spirit beast bag, and be watched by the master uncle. If the younger generation comes back safely, the master uncle will return the tiger, lion and beast to me. If the younger generation can’t come back, please ask the head to ask another master. "

Chapter 36 Brothers
Although Zhang Zhang is quite dissatisfied with Xi Fangping’s forced going to the Snake Cave, after all, Xi Fangping is a rare animal training wizard in Yunmenjian, and he doesn’t want to let Xi Fangping fold in the Snake Cave in vain. So, although the tone is quite cold, Zhang Zhang still gave Xi Fangping two high-order instruments, one is Rise of the Legend Sword, and the other is Fire Thunder Shield, both of which are high-order instruments of fire properties. You know, snakes have always been afraid of fire, and these two high-order instruments of fire properties can greatly improve Xi Fangping’s self-protection ability. Just, XiFangPing inside the snake cave, in addition to the snake, there are other monks, in order to ensure the safety of XiFangPing, zhang head even generously gave XiFangPing five intermediate low-order fire LeiFu. XiFangPing know, intermediate low-order fire LeiFu, once offered, is equivalent to the condensate gas early dry blow, in the fix true boundary, also be a rare baby, a piece of more than one hundred pieces of LingShi, therefore, zhang supremo this time is indeed a bleeding.
Except for Xi Fangping, every disciple who was willing to go to the Snake Cave was given a medium-order instrument. Of course, they were not given any talisman. Most of these people who are willing to go to the Snake Cave enter Yunmenjian as a casual practitioner. They have no background, no good skills and are not taken seriously. Generally, they only have one or two low-order instruments at hand. Just to get a middle-class multiplier, it is worth their efforts to go to the snake cave.
According to the observation results, the Lingshe Cave will be opened in two months. During these two months, Xi Fangping doesn’t need to go back to the Lingshe Breeding Farm. He will go to Lingshe Cave with 55 other disciples and receive several special trainings during the condensation period. Originally, most of these disciples were scattered practitioners, and they were very experienced in actual combat. They were far better at fighting than elite disciples, and even stronger than some monks in the gas-condensing period. All they had to accept was to get familiar with the performance of their own instruments, and learn how to help each other in the complicated snake cave and achieve success together. Of course, the latter is also a waste of learning. In that case, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, so there is no time to take care of others.
There are fifty-six disciples, including Xi Fangping, who are just divided into seven groups, with eight people in each group, led by a monk in the early stage of coagulation. Go to a place about 50 miles away from the mountain gate for training. This is a valley with beautiful scenery, and the place inside is quite large, with four or five miles of Fiona Fang, which has been opened into an independent training ground by Yunmenjian.
Fifty-six disciples lived in the innermost part of the valley, about four miles away from Taniguchi, where there was a row of houses, one for each group, to eat and live together, and to cultivate the feelings and cooperation spirit of the team members.
Xi Fangping originally wanted to hide a hundred to ten thousand small! He said that after looking at the situation on the second floor, he would report to the valley, but the monk in charge of his group disagreed. Although Xi Fangping is a special existence in Yunmenjian, enjoying the same treatment as a monk in the condensate period, this does not mean that Xi Fangping is a monk in the condensate period. In the eyes of those monks in the condensate period, Xi Fangping is just an important handyman, and there is no need to take special care of him.
