Chapter 7 Cave Mansion
However, for some reason, the tortoise shell on its chest continued to throb, and the throbbing became faster and faster.
Finally, a ray of light even flashed out, piercing through the clothes on the chest, standing out conspicuously in the darkness.
The light, like a heart, flickered rhythmically, and at the bottom of the canyon, something seemed to echo the tortoise shell, flickering along with it.
Zhao Fan turned around and discovered that at the bottom of the canyon, a vortex emitting a faint light had appeared at some point. As the three of them got closer to the bottom of the cliff, the vortex became deeper and deeper.
Until the three of them fell into the whirlpool at the same time and disappeared without a trace, the whirlpool also disappeared in the blink of an eye, and everything returned to its original state.
……
A heavy feeling in his chest and a wave of dizziness washed over him. Zhao Fan clutched his head and it took him a while to finally manage to get up from the ground.
The tortoise shell still covered his body, but it had long since lost its luster.
The spiritual energy within his body was still bound, and he could only mobilize a trace of it. The wound on his arm had stopped bleeding, but it still stung painfully.
Zhao Fan looked up and saw a brightly lit cave.
Large luminous pearls are embedded throughout the cave, making the entire cave as bright as day.
Beneath your feet is a smooth road paved with green jade slabs, with various flowers and plants planted on both sides.
The flowers are in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance. Taking a breath of it makes one feel refreshed.
Zhao Fan looked at the flowers and plants around him and shook his head with some regret.
These are just ordinary flowers and plants, nothing special.
If you continue along the road, you'll find a white jade bridge with a stream flowing beneath it, carrying a rich spiritual energy.
"Such a large spiritual spring!"
Zhao Fan stared wide-eyed at the flowing water under the bridge.
There was also a hidden spiritual spring in his cave, but his spiritual spring was only half alive, dripping only a few drops of spiritual liquid every now and then, and the spiritual energy it brought out was extremely thin.
Thus, it is already a rare cultivation treasure for independent cultivators, and his master risked his life to seize this treasure.
According to my master, their spiritual spring is not yet of grade 1 and can only barely be used for cultivation.
A high-grade spiritual spring can produce a bucket of spiritual liquid every day, with spiritual energy so rich that it is enough for a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to cultivate all day without the spiritual energy becoming sparse.
The higher quality ones are more than enough to support peak Qi Refining cultivators.
A second-grade spiritual spring is more than enough to satisfy the cultivation needs of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and the daily output of spiritual liquid is enough to irrigate an acre of spiritual field.
As for the third-grade spiritual spring, even his master did not know what amazing effects it had.
The spiritual liquid produced by the spiritual spring can be drunk, but it is mostly used to irrigate the spiritual fields, which can promote the growth of spiritual herbs and spiritual rice.
With such an astonishing flow, this spiritual spring must be at least a fourth-grade spiritual spring!
Zhao Fan couldn't help but wonder what level of cultivation the owner of this cave was.
Could he be a powerful cultivator in the Core Formation stage?
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Fan continued forward, crossed the jade bridge, and approached a stone pavilion.
Inside the stone pavilion, a person was sitting quietly.
Zhao Fan glanced at it and was shocked. It was actually that cultivator surnamed Lu!
At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Lu, holding a halberd, stared at Zhao Fan and immediately began to move.
Now that they have met on a narrow path and have nowhere to escape, for the cultivator surnamed Lu, striking first is the only option.
This time, Zhao Fan was not afraid at all. The superior-grade Great Strength Talisman was activated in the blink of an eye, automatically attaching itself to his body, and a powerful force quickly filled his entire body.
Seeing the halberd tip coming towards him, Zhao Fan reached out and grabbed it in mid-air.
Seeing that his full-force thrust was so easily blocked, and that Zhao Fan's arm was not even shaken by his power, the cultivator surnamed Lu was greatly shocked and immediately tried to pull back his halberd.
However, Zhao Fan held the halberd tip firmly in his hand, and for a moment he couldn't pull it out!
Zhao Fan used one hand to restrain the halberd, and with the other hand he reached forward to grab the cultivator surnamed Lu.
Seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Lu flicked his right hand, and a jet-black dagger flew out from his sleeve, shooting straight at Zhao Fan's eyes.
Zhao Fan was startled by the sudden appearance of the dagger and immediately dodged to the side, his grip on the halberd tip loosening involuntarily.
Although Zhao Fan was blessed by the talisman at this moment, he had no combat experience and knew nothing about martial arts among mortals.
This sudden sneak attack with hidden weapons has already thrown Zhao Fan into a panic.
By the time Zhao Fan turned around, the cultivator surnamed Lu had already swept his halberd across the room.
Zhao Fan had no choice but to raise his hand to defend himself.
However, the experienced cultivator surnamed Lu retracted his halberd a few inches halfway through, only using the tip to glide past Zhao Fan and tear off a section of Zhao Fan's sleeve.
In mid-air, the cultivator surnamed Lu flipped his halberd halfway around and slashed it straight at Zhao Fan's thigh.
Even though Zhao Fan reacted quickly and dodged, he was still slashed by the cultivator surnamed Lu, leaving a bloody mark.
The halberd looked heavy, but it was exceptionally agile in the hands of the cultivator surnamed Lu. Knowing that he was no match for him in a head-on confrontation, the cultivator surnamed Lu quickly changed his mind and switched to very clever attack techniques.
After several rounds of fighting, Zhao Fan not only failed to gain any advantage, but also ended up with several cuts on his body.
"Boy, don't think you can defeat me just because you have talismans. Back when I wasn't even a cultivator, I killed a cultivator with the Lu Family Halberd Technique."
"If it weren't for that strange life-saving artifact you possess, you would have already perished beneath my halberd!"
After gradually gaining the upper hand, the cultivator surnamed Lu even had time to start mocking Zhao Fan.
Hearing the mockery around him, Zhao Fan felt a surge of anger, yet he was helpless.
As the spiritual light on the Giant Strength Talisman gradually faded, Zhao Fan grew increasingly anxious.
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Fan didn't even dodge when the cultivator surnamed Lu swung his halberd at his calf; instead, he charged forward.
The cultivator surnamed Lu did not fall for the trap. He flicked his halberd upwards, and the tip of the halberd went straight up to Zhao Fan's neck.
However, the next moment, Zhao Fan immediately retracted his hands and, just as the halberd was about to pierce his neck, forcefully gripped the blade.
The fatal blow was blocked, and the cultivator surnamed Lu's eyes narrowed involuntarily, but he did not stop what he was doing.
The cultivator surnamed Lu twisted the halberd forcefully with both hands, and a cracking sound came from the tip of the halberd.
The next moment, the halberd shaft was twisted off by the cultivator surnamed Lu.
As the halberd shaft flipped, the sharp-looking decoration that was originally at the halberd handle now transformed into a long spear in conjunction with the shaft.
The spear twirled in the hands of the cultivator surnamed Lu, its tip aimed directly at Zhao Fan's eye socket, at an unbelievable speed.
As the spear tip drew closer, Zhao Fan instinctively raised the broken halberd head in front of him, but the spear tip easily pierced through it.
As the spear tip rapidly enlarged before his eyes, Zhao Fan's quick thinking suddenly came to mind. He crossed his hands and used the gap in the halberd head to firmly block the spear tip, preventing it from advancing any further.
