Chapter 136 Why is it you?
However, Zhang Qian was a little confused. He was so busy thinking about how to open the mountain protection formation that he forgot that what he was best at was still earth escape. The ground was thousands of feet deep, which was beyond the reach of the mountain protection formation in the Mangcang Mountain area.

A place thousands of feet underground is so deep that it cannot be covered by the mountain protection formation. If it were Zhang Qian, it would be basically impossible for someone else to use the earth escape method to leave Mangcang Mountain.

Those who can escape thousands of feet underground need to be at least at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, or even have to cultivate the Dharmakāya. Not everyone has Zhang Qian's ancient dragon loach bloodline, which allows them to move thousands of feet underground in the early stage of True Essence.

With Zhang Qian's current means, ten thousand feet underground is not his limit at all. However, after ten thousand feet, Zhang Qian cannot go any further casually. There are great terrors in the real depths of the earth, even terrifying existences comparable to the primordial spirit.

Just like the fire elves in front of him, this race was born with low intelligence, but they had an incredible power, that is, as time went by, they could continue to grow, with almost no limits, and there were no bottlenecks of cultivators at all. As long as they lived long enough, absorbed enough fire spiritual energy, or swallowed up fire treasures, this kind of fire elf could continue to grow, and it was possible that their power would eventually be comparable to that of a soul.

Unfortunately, the fire elves with such terrifying talents have a huge flaw, which is low intelligence. In fact, the greater the power, the lower the intelligence. In the end, they are even corroded by the underground fire poison and become monsters that only know how to kill.

Fortunately, these races like to stay in the endless magma, otherwise, letting them come to the ground would be a horrible disaster.

Buzz buzz...!
At this time, these fire elves also discovered Zhang Qian's figure. They gathered in twos and threes, looking at Zhang Qian curiously with a pair of fiery red crystal-like eyes, and making a strange buzzing sound from their mouths, which might be the peculiar language used by their tribe to communicate.

Zhang Qian even saw many fire spirits pointing at him, but Zhang Qian couldn't understand what they were saying. He was now covered in an extremely cold ice armor, which made these fire spirits feel instinctively disgusted and dared not to come forward.

Zhang Qian moved his body out of curiosity and used his escape technique to come in front of a fire spirit. The fire spirit was startled and made a sharp buzzing sound. It waved its rough arms around, and pure white flames rose up and swept towards Zhang Qian.

"Sure enough, these fire spirits are born with the ability to control fire, as if it were instinct."

Zhang Qian dodged the pure white flames and looked at them curiously for a while. He felt that the eyes of these fire spirits were like a treasure. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were rare treasures. However, Zhang Qian felt a rare compassion and did not kill these fire spirits.

brush!
He moved his body and performed the earth escape technique in the boundless lava lake. Following the perception of Mo Yi by his Heavenly Demon Pagoda, he fled straight to the direction where Zhan Taixuan and the others were.

The speed at which Zhang Qian performed the earth escape technique was countless times faster than when he controlled the sword rainbow before. The reason why he controlled the sword rainbow to escape when he came to Mangcang Mountain before was, firstly, he wanted to practice the skills of controlling the sword rainbow, and secondly, he was not in a hurry. He couldn't delay any longer on his return now, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to drink soup when he reached the mine.

When he was in the prehistoric times, he had always used the earth escape technique to travel, and he had already mastered the technique to perfection. As for flying in the prehistoric times? If he didn't become a Daluo Jinxian, he would be courting death!

In the early days of the prehistoric world, there were terrifying monsters and beasts everywhere. Anyone flying in the sky was a sitting duck. It was only after the war between the wizards and the liches that the prehistoric world became a little safer, allowing cultivators to fly freely in the air without having to worry about being swallowed for no reason.

This earth escape technique can be said to be Zhang Qian's most proficient escape technique. Moreover, this escape technique is a bloodline innate talent and does not consume true energy. It is also very different from the earth escape technique commonly used by cultivators in the Xihuang world. The difference is speed.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Qian had left the Mangcang Mountain area far away, which was much faster than flying with the sword rainbow.

While escaping underground, Zhang Qian also collected a lot of rare and precious refining materials that were only found deep underground, so he had a small harvest.

The underground magma that immortal monks try to avoid is like a fish in water to Zhang Qian.

"I have such an escape technique, so what mountain protection formation can't I enter? I was confused before and wasted my big and small Ruyi magical powers. My cultivation has just broken through, and my bloodline has greatly increased, but I forgot about this."

As Zhang Qian fled, he thought to himself that he could move freely underground for 10,000 or even 20,000 feet. No mountain protection formation of any sect in the world could stop him. He could enter and exit freely. No matter how powerful the mountain protection formation was, it could not affect such a deep underground. Of course, those powerful people who had cultivated the Dharma image could also do this by performing earth escape. But how could such a powerful person shamelessly sneak into other people's sects from underground?

It took Zhang Qian a day and a half to catch up with Zhan Taixuan and others. At this moment, Zhan Taixuan had arrived at the edge of the mine, set up a camp, and was preparing to send people into the mine to explore.

The strange thing is that no one came to block the way. The Tian Yao Sect and the Huangquan Demon Sect did not send their disciples to cause trouble, which made Zhan Taixuan puzzled. He had thought that there would be a lot of killing along the way.

Now that he had arrived at the place, Zhan Taixuan simply waved his hand, and a palm-sized palace fell to the ground, instantly transforming into a continuous palace of a hundred acres in radius. He ordered many of his disciples to enter the palace and settle down, while he himself went to an alchemy room.

boom!
With a pointed finger, the vent on the floor of the alchemy room was ignited, automatically connecting to the underground fire deep underground, drawing the blazing underground fire up and burning a red alchemy furnace above the vent.

After doing all this, Zhan Taixuan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and murmured, "That mineral vein was formed at the end of the ancient times. Since the original heavenly secret was dug out, this mineral vein has spawned many ancient Yin evil spirits. I have achieved the Golden Core Realm, so I am not afraid of these ancient Yin evil spirits, but those true disciples are not afraid of them."

Before leaving, Li Qingcheng had already explained the situation in the mine to Zhan Taixuan, including asking her to take complete control of the mine and not let the Taikang Dynasty get involved.

Ever since the original secret that had been sealed since ancient times was dug out from this mineral vein, this mineral vein inexplicably gave rise to a kind of ancient evil. This evil spirit is extremely terrifying. Once inhaled, all kinds of diseases will occur immediately. Even those who have achieved great perfection in true essence are not immune. Those with mild symptoms will feel powerless all over, while those with severe symptoms will have their flesh rotted and all sorts of incredible symptoms will appear. Only those who have achieved golden elixir are not affected.

As a result, from then on, if one wanted to enter the mine to mine spirit stones, one had to take the Dust-Repelling Pill, which was specifically designed to deal with the ancient Yin Evil, so as not to be afraid of the ancient Yin Evil.

Now Zhan Taixuan started to refine the elixir, preparing to make some Dust-Repelling Pills for use, to prevent those true disciples from being tricked.

Just as Zhan Taixuan was starting to refine the elixir, Zhang Qian escaped through the earth and arrived at the bottom of the palace.

With a thought in mind, Zhang Qian asked Mo Yi back to the Heavenly Demon Pagoda. After asking some questions, he understood the whole situation and had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

"Hey, why is there a fire tunnel leading directly to the ground here?"

At this moment, Zhang Qian accidentally glanced and discovered a straight upward underground fire channel, which attracted the boundless underground fire.

brush!
He fled straight upwards along this underground fire channel, and soon Zhang Qian emerged from the ground.

when!
However, before he could reveal his figure, his head hit an obstacle hard, making a loud noise, and his body was blocked back, leaving only his head above the ground.

"what……!"

Zhan Taixuan was concentrating on refining the elixir. Her alchemy skills were not very advanced, so she had to be very careful. When the refining reached the critical moment, a head suddenly appeared under the alchemy furnace and hit the furnace hard, making Zhan Taixuan pale and screaming involuntarily!
"Why is it you! Fairy Zhan... Nice to meet you!"

Zhang Qian stared at the frightened Zhan Taixuan in amazement and touched his head awkwardly.
