Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 73: The Sword Cave of the Passing River
Zhang Laodao's words were powerful and echoed in the slightly empty hall.

The ten people below immediately calmed down and stopped talking, pretending to listen.

Seeing his disciples so obedient, Zhang Laodao immediately smiled and waved his wide sleeves, and the selected spirit stones and pills flew in front of everyone.

The next moment, Niu Dali smiled with his eyebrows raised and said "Hey", as if he was admiring the generosity of his master. He couldn't wait to put the fifty medium-grade spirit stones and several bottles of pills in front of him into the storage bag.

Causing everyone to look at him...

Zhang Laodao, watching this scene from above, pointed at Niu Dali and scolded him with a smile, "Niu Dali, what's wrong with you? You're making such a fuss, as if you've never seen a spirit stone before... Even when I was in the outer sect, I never saw you love money like this!"

Niu Dali didn't take it seriously. He laughed heartily and said loudly, "Uncle Zhang, please don't blame me. I just got such a great resource suddenly and was overwhelmed by my emotion."

This conversation made several disciples look at him with envy.

Being able to chat and laugh with the elders of the sect who have established their foundation, it is clear that their private relationship must be good...

Zhang Laodao shook his head and laughed, without saying anything else.

He had always been like this, not liking to act like an elder in front of his disciples...

It's just that he didn't act like an elder. Instead, many disciples were very cautious in front of him and didn't dare to do anything out of line. Over time, he stopped forcing them.

After a while, wait until everyone has received it.

"Let's go and pick out some magical weapons."

Taoist Zhang suddenly spoke, stood up and walked out of the hall. Everyone hurriedly followed him, walked around the main hall, and headed towards the back mountain.

Without stopping, the further Zhang Laodao walked, the narrower the road became. Finally, he came to a smooth mountain wall. After a quick observation, he found that this mountain wall was between Dutian Peak and Tianhu Peak, but it did not belong to either peak. It was a small hill in the gap, or to be more precise, the wall of a huge rock.

Chen Mu looked up and saw that the gap between the two peaks was getting shorter and shorter, so that he could only see a strip of sky.

Zhu Yuelian, who was accompanying him, caught a glimpse of Chen Mu's posture and immediately chuckled, "Don't look. This is the closest place between the two peaks. I've been here once before with my master..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Yuelian quietly glanced at Taoist Zhang in front of her, leaned over and whispered, "I heard from my master that Dutian Peak and Tianhu Peak seemed to be connected before, but for some reason, they became what they are now..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu looked at the gap between the two peaks, a little curious, but he immediately suppressed it.

However, Niu Dali raised one eyebrow, became interested, and came over to ask.

"Ahem... go in."

Zhang Laodao didn't look back. He walked quickly to the stone wall and flicked his hand. A small token-like object was suspended in the air and spun around. The next moment, the small object shot out a gray light and penetrated into the stone wall.

"Boom..." With a muffled sound, a hole slowly opened up in the stone wall. As the hole opened, some light from the night pearls was reflected outside the cave.

Looking at this scene, Chen Mu was secretly surprised. The Dharma Pavilion and Dharma Storage Place he had been to... were never so grand. Since when did magic weapons become more important than the sect's inherited skills and spells?
Not knowing whether he was the only one who felt strange, he glanced around and saw that except for Zong Bing and Lin Xuanming, everyone else had a puzzled look on their faces.

However, Zhang Laodao seemed to be able to see through the thoughts of his disciples behind him. He smiled slightly and spoke loudly. He looked like a real Taoist master.

"This place is called Shichuan Cave. It's where our sect stores our magical and spiritual tools... Do you know why it's called Shichuan Cave?"

As soon as he started talking, Zhang Laodao started to keep everyone in suspense. The people behind him looked at each other and were about to respond with a sound...

"Hey, Master, please tell me quickly." It was Zhu Yuelian who said angrily, causing everyone to turn their attention to her again.

Zhu Yuelian came back to her senses, her face suddenly flushed, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid everyone's sight.

She actually knew the reason. Zhang Laodao had explained it to her the last time she came. He spoke this time only because she felt the same way and couldn't stand this kind of behavior that kept people in suspense.

Taoist Zhang smiled awkwardly, but he was not annoyed that his disciple contradicted him.

"Ahem... This place is called Shichuan Pavilion because... it houses the third-generation ancestor's magical weapon... the Shichuan Sword!"

After saying this, Zhang Laodao slowly turned around, waved his sleeves, and looked up at the line of sky.

"magic weapon!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly started discussing with the people around them. Some people stretched their necks and asked questions loudly.

"Uncle Zhang, is it the magic weapon above that spiritual weapon?"

"Uncle Zhang, I heard that the magic weapon has developed intelligence and can fight the enemy on its own. Is this true?"

"I didn't expect that we in Shuiyunjian have a magic weapon to protect the mountain!"

"In my lifetime, I can actually explore the true appearance of a magic weapon..."

Zhang Laodao nodded one by one, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly said, "No, you can't... Ever since the Sword of the Passing River was placed here by the founder, this place has become extremely important. Only the masters of all generations can enter the deepest part and see the Sword of the Passing River several times."

"Well, it's normal that you didn't know before. I'm not on the same level as you. Take the magic weapon for example. If it's not a top-grade one, I wouldn't be qualified to enter the cave."

"But you don't need to overthink it. After all, the magic weapon is too far away from you. I'm telling you this just to explain the origin of this place. Just be awed when you enter."

After saying that, Zhang Laodao took the lead and entered the cave.

Everyone suddenly understood and followed Taoist Zhang in.

Although the entrance to the cave was small, when Chen Mu walked in, he found that the cave was extremely spacious. There was a circular light shield in the middle, with nearly a hundred rays of light flying inside.

He looked intently and found that the rays of light inside were actually magical weapons of various shapes.

Looking beyond the light shield, there is a corridor at the deepest part of the cave, which obviously leads to deeper...

Taoist Zhang turned around, pointed at the light shield, and said, "This is the outermost layer of the Shichuan Cave. It contains some top-grade magical instruments... Wait a moment, touch the light shield and probe into it with your mind. The magical instruments will come to find you."

"But remember, although you have one hour, you only have one chance, so don't be impatient. Wait a little longer. Perhaps several magical instruments will come looking for you at the same time, so you can choose one from them..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and Niu Dali exclaimed softly: "Can it be like this?"

It seems that they have gained a lot of knowledge this time...

Zhang Laodao saw the different expressions on the faces of his disciples and laughed heartily. He said, "This is a rule established by the ancestor after he accepted the advice of Shichuan Sword. He even specially set up this spirit-sensing formation to help the magic weapon choose a master..."
