After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

Chapter 220: Stealing chicken but losing rice (two-in-one)

"If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it just now."

Her smile disappeared, she said something coldly, and then looked away, apparently intending to move forward and get closer to the stone pillar.

Wen Chang secretly complained. In fact, he regretted what he just said as soon as he said it, because there were only two of them here, and playing word games was of no use. Instead, it would anger the other party.

"Wait a minute! This fellow Taoist, Wen was also impatient for a moment and spoke indiscriminately. He misunderstood fellow Taoist, please don't be offended. How about we get the inheritance together first, and I will make a big gift to you later. How about that? ?”

Ye Pianran sneered when he heard this, Wen Chang was really smart, he was treating her like a fool!
However, she was just pretending to be irritated, and it was not certain who was the superior one.

To take a step back, even if there is a head-on conflict, she is not afraid at all. Even if Wen Chang is a little higher than her, it doesn't matter who has a strong fist. You have to fight him to know.

"What do you want?"

Wen Chang had a smile on his face, but something flashed deep in his eyes.

"It's very simple, as long as you tell me how many kinds of mechanisms there are here and how you got there, that's it. When the matter is completed, you and I will share the inheritance equally. Not only that, I can also compensate you for what I have done in the underground palace. All the harvest will be given as a thank you gift."

Ye Pianran glanced at him sideways, "How do I know?"

"You don't know? That's impossible, then how did you get there."

Wen Chang was shocked, with a face full of disbelief, but soon he thought of something, and his expression became a little uncertain.

There are mechanisms everywhere in the stone hall. This woman was able to reach the depths unharmed without knowing anything about it. Could it be that she used an amulet?

This was the only possibility. After all, she didn't know what she would face next. In comparison, of course it was more important to use the amulet on the opportunity in front of her.

Although doing so is a bit overkill, it is not incomprehensible, because there is only one chance to get the opportunity, and the amulet can be replenished, but the prerequisite is that you can get out of the secret realm alive.

Thinking of this, Wen Chang felt relieved, but he couldn't waste his amulet here like Ye Pianran, so he could only think of other ways.

It has to be said that Wen Chang, as a direct descendant of the Xuanxu Sect, regardless of his character, does have some abilities. It didn't take long for him to try out the previous four mechanisms.

"I thought it was so powerful, but that's it."

Landing on the ground at the same level as Ye Pianran, Wen Chang sneered, not hiding his disdain.

"Fellow Wen Dao is indeed very powerful, so I will leave the previous agencies to you."

Ye Pianran was not affected, and put a high hat on him with her backhand, her expression half-smiling.

She had stood still for such a long time. Firstly, she was worried that Wen Chang would attack from behind, and secondly, she did it deliberately, wanting Wen Chang to go ahead and test the waters first.

In fact, Wen Chang's sarcastic words spoke to her heart. Even with the final gale mechanism, these mechanisms are not difficult enough to guard the puppet inheritance. This is inconsistent with the reality that the inheritance has not been available for thousands of years.

In this case, there are three possibilities, either the mechanism is not that simple and the closer you are to the stone pillar, the more dangerous it is, or it is a problem with the underground palace itself, or both.

Wen Chang didn't feel anything wrong. Hearing Ye Pianran's praise, he showed a natural expression and was very proud.

"Humph, after all, I offended you first, so I'll take the lead from now on. But it's your fault whether I can keep up with my ugly words or not. If you don't get the chance, it has nothing to do with me."

"That's natural."

Wen Chang was very satisfied with her answer, so he stopped talking and continued to move forward. However, after a while, he was blown by the strong wind and was unable to move.

"There are actually agencies, damn it!"

This time, Wen Chang did not blame others for his failure. It was not because of his conscience, but because he firmly believed in his own judgment.

Furthermore, Ye Pianran is only in the middle stage of foundation building, which is a small level lower than him. It is obviously unrealistic to break through the machine formation by relying on his own ability alone, because the foundation building stage and the Qi training stage are different. , the gap is so huge that only a few geniuses can ignore it, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Of course, as a direct descendant of the Tianheng Sect, she must also be a rare genius. After all, not every sect is the same as their Xuanxu Sect, but there are differences.

She might be able to defeat the casual cultivators in the later stage of foundation establishment, but it would be difficult for her to match the seven direct disciples in the later stage of foundation establishment, because the former is just an ordinary monk, and all the seven direct disciples are geniuses. Even if they are not, with the accumulation of a large number of resources, they will become It’s done.

Genius versus genius, if you can still defeat it by leaps and bounds, then what's the point?
Wen Chang's idea has some truth, but the most fundamental reason is that he sincerely resists the possibility that Ye Pianran is that kind of genius among geniuses.

Wen Chang was a little annoyed after being repelled by the machine again and again. He sacrificed various treasures in front of him. After a lot of hard work, he finally arrived in front of the inheritance stone pillar.

The area near the stone pillar, no more than three feet in radius, is a safe area for rest.

There was no intrusion from the mechanism. A cold light flashed in Wen Chang's eyes. He suddenly stretched out his palm and slapped it backwards. The fierce palm power roared out and attacked Ye Pianran who was still facing the attack from the mechanism.

"I've been guarding against you for a long time!"

Although the person was in the air, Ye Pianran did not panic at all. The ghostly shadow flashed and the whole person disappeared instantly. At the same time, he avoided the fierce wind and palm attacks. Then he appeared next to Wen Chang, Chang Lian unsheathed, Cut down with a sword.

"what!"

Wen Chang obviously had a wrong assessment of her combat power. He dodged the sword in embarrassment. The defensive weapon automatically protected the master. The sharp sword energy rubbed against her body, and the protective light curtain suddenly shook. stand up.

"How is that possible? Aren't you just in the middle stage of foundation building? Damn it, you made a mistake!"

After regaining his balance, Wen Chang's face turned blue and white, he was shocked and angry. From these two moments, it could be seen that Ye Pianran's strength was beyond expectation, and she was definitely not someone he could control.

On the other side, Ye Pianran landed lightly in a safe zone, holding her sword in hand, with a hint of coldness in her clear eyes.

"Fellow Literary Daoist, you really have one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. If I weren't cautious by nature, I would have been in great trouble by you."

"Where, where..."

Wen Chang laughed sarcastically, but his mind was spinning rapidly. Since this woman did not immediately attack, it meant that there was still room for discussion. It seemed that she also knew that it was not appropriate to have a violent conflict at this time. But in this case, what tricks did he want to do? But it’s difficult.

Does he really want to share his inheritance with others?

"Listen to my explanation of what happened just now. In fact, I noticed something strange in the agency and wanted to remind you, but you may have misunderstood..." Wen Chang was talking nonsense, and he was so ridiculous that he didn't know whether he believed it or not. .

"Don't talk nonsense, I only care about inheritance."

Ye Pianran looked indifferent and didn't listen to his excuses at all, and walked towards the stone pillar.

"Wait, fellow Taoist, please wait!"

Seeing that she had completely lost trust in him, Wen Chang felt a little overwhelmed and quickly stopped her.

"We agreed before that the inheritance will be divided equally. No matter what, it was only because of me opening the way that you had the chance to come here, right?"

"Indeed, let's do this. You and I will explore the stone pillars at the same time. If we find a way to obtain inheritance, we will share it with the other party, and then we will each compete for opportunities based on our abilities."

Ye Pianran said.

Hearing her suggestion, Wen Chang was stunned at first, and then became ecstatic. He wondered if this female cultivator had lost her mind. She actually gave up the method that was beneficial to her and relied on her own abilities. What was the difference between this and giving it to him directly? .

Ye Pianran's strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but in actual battles, it is not only the frontal combat ability that is compared, but also the mind and strategy.

Regarding the former, Wen Chang didn't dare to draw a conclusion, but the latter factor was his strength, and at his age, he could be Ye Pianran's elder, so he was worried that he would not be able to outwit her.

Wen Chang was not afraid of anything else but that she would regret it, so he quickly agreed, but just missed the sarcasm that flashed across the girl's eyes.

The conditions had been negotiated, and the two of them began to explore around the inheritance stone pillar.

The stone pillar is about ten feet high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Even ten adult male cultivators can't wrap their arms around it at its widest point. The texture is unprecedented, and it exudes a primitive atmosphere.

Ye Pianran observed it for a moment, and an inexplicable sense of sight came to her. When she thought about it carefully, it turned out that it was somewhat similar to the dreaming stone tablet she saw when she was promoted to an inner disciple.

The difference is that the stone tablet in front of me is a test, but the stone pillar in front of me is the carrier of inheritance... Wait!
She paused, feeling that she seemed to be thinking in the wrong direction. Why is the inheritance stone pillar the inheritance itself, not a test? What made her think first?

Thinking of this, an invisible shackle seemed to break in her heart. She exhaled, stretched her consciousness out of her body, and touched the stone pillar.

It’s not that she hasn’t tried the method of spiritual consciousness detection before, she was even the first one to think of it. However, she didn’t find the key to the problem at that time, so there was no response when she touched it with her spiritual consciousness.

It was different now. After figuring out the key, his spiritual consciousness touched the stone pillar again, and he obviously had a different reaction.

Ye Pianran only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The empty ore hall disappeared and was replaced by a chaotic and undivided space.

Compared with the stone hall, this space is pitifully small, only about thirty feet square, and the whole thing can be seen clearly at a glance.

hum!
Suddenly, the space was slightly distorted, the air vibrated inexplicably, and an illusory shadow appeared out of thin air, gradually solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a corpse.

"Sure enough, it's the same path. It seems that if you want to get the inheritance, you must first defeat this corpse puppet."

Ye Pianran felt enlightened. She had been in the underground palace for so long, and she had some understanding of the owner's habits. Seeing this scene, she naturally understood it.

After the corpse puppet took shape, it rushed directly towards Ye Pianran without any unnecessary movements. Its two stiff arms glowed with a cold copper light, and sharp nails grew on the front of its five fingers, cutting iron like mud, like a tiger with wind.

"Razer Transformation!"

Ye Pianran didn't intend to waste time, so she gave a clear drink. Without seeing her move, a thick thunder snake appeared out of thin air behind her.

She was already able to create her own spells based on the Thunder Transformation, so her use of the first move, the Thunder Snake Transformation, was naturally perfect. The Thunder Snake arrived first and hit the corpse puppet in the chest, carrying the latter high into the sky.

"Tang!"

As soon as the magic formula in his hand changed, the thunder snake galloping in the air wrapped around the corpse puppet. The snake's tail tightened, and under the strong squeezing force, the corpse puppet was suppressed and unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous light exploded, and a violent electric current exploded, directly blasting the corpse into a blackened body, dislocating its joints, and falling limply from the air.

This corpse puppet is a mid-level bronze puppet. In terms of strength, it is equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. However, the hardness of the body is far beyond the reach of human cultivation, not even the forged Ye Pianran.

Suffering such a frontal attack, if it were an ordinary monk, even if he didn't die, he would definitely lose most of his combat effectiveness.

The Corpse Puppet is different. It feels no pain. Not to mention the joints are dislocated. Even if the bones are broken, it will not have any effect. At most, the posture is not very good-looking.

It climbed up from the ground and continued to rush towards Ye Pianran with a strange posture. The latter was not polite, drew his sword and slashed, five sword lights flashed, and directly removed the corpse puppet's limbs and head.

After being damaged to this extent, it stands to reason that even the corpse puppet should fall. After all, when we were on the first floor, except for her, the other monks basically dealt with the corpse puppet in this way.

But here, a strange scene appeared. The corpse puppet with only the torso was still able to move, and the five parts that she had chopped off were also moving, as if they were reuniting with the torso.

How is this going?

Ye Pianran frowned, and in a flash, he appeared behind the corpse puppet's torso. He stretched out his palm and drove the fire of the earth spring into its body, found its central core, and burned it.

Boom!
Immediately, the corpse puppet stopped moving, and six body fragments, including the torso, fell to the ground at the same time, making a uniform sound, which was extremely strange.

The next moment, the remains of the corpses and puppets turned from solid to virtual, the air vibrated again, and the chaotic space returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Ye Pianran narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.

Not long after, the space began to distort again. This time, a new type of puppet appeared, similar in shape to the human race, but different from the corpse puppet. The whole body was made of an unknown material, like iron and wood, hard and indestructible.

Obviously, this humanoid puppet was much more powerful than the corpse puppet. As soon as it appeared, it put a lot of pressure on Ye Pianran.

欻!
This time, Ye Pianran was the one who launched the attack first. She dodged close by and slashed out with her sword from bottom to top, wanting to test the puppet's strength.

The humanoid puppet's counterattack was beyond her expectation. It opened its mouth wide, exposing the metal tube opening deep in its throat. When the sparks were spit out, it turned into a blazing line of fire and rushed straight towards the door.

Although Ye Pianran was shocked, his reaction was not slow. He immediately put away his sword to block it. The sharp sword blade was erected in front of him, splitting the line of fire into two. At the same time, with the powerful impact, he flew back and distanced himself.
