The journey of cultivation is arduous and dangerous, and many cultivators are eventually buried by the torrent of time. There are very few who can stand firm in this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong. There is no one who has not realized his dream of becoming a strong man through his own efforts.
Although the spiritual elixir has the effect of counteracting growth, it is not the power obtained through one's own efforts. There must be a certain gap between those practitioners who realize breakthroughs on their own.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I learned a lesson!" Qin Tian benefited a lot from his words and thanked him sincerely.
"Since this seven-leaf clover has no effect on my current cultivation, I think we should retreat first. If we are caught by the palace guards, we will be in big trouble!" Qin Tian said with a guilty conscience.
The young man has never done anything sneaky at this age. Besides, this is a royal palace, heavily guarded and filled with experts. Five teams of people walked over just after a cup of tea.
"It's of no use to you now, but it's still of some use to me!" Yu Chen said with a smile.
Qin Tian asked, "Didn't you say that it can be used to refine the spirit-returning elixir? This elixir seems to be of no use to a strong person like you, right?"
Yu Chen is a mysterious and powerful being. Although he has never revealed what level of cultivation he reached before his death, Qin Tian believes that at least he is much stronger than the master of Xuantian Sect. This is a guess. , is also an intuition.
"Don't you see that I can only exist as a soul now? The roots of the seven-leaf clover contain concentrated spiritual energy. As long as I suck it up, I can recover some of my soul power." Yu Chen said a little dejectedly, "Although an ant is small, , but it’s still meat, a little is better than nothing!”
Yu Chen's soul has been separated from the body for hundreds of years. If he continues to survive in this way, he will probably be gone in a few hundred years. If he can absorb some concentrated spiritual energy, he can not only extend his soul power, but also restore some Cultivation, this is exactly what he wants.
Cultivators not only have powers that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but also have extremely long lifespans. The higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan. Take the martial arts expert as an example, his lifespan is at least twice as long as that of ordinary people. So, why? Everyone wants to become a cultivator, not only to pursue power and fame and fortune, but most importantly to live in this world and enjoy the admiration of the world.
"Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!"
Yu Chen laughed and said, "Silly boy, you don't have to sacrifice your life. You just have to follow my arrangements."
The two chatted all over the place, passing the boring time, waiting for the night to fall. The seven-leaf clover had already been placed by Fire Wolf and Shihu, and they were just waiting for Leng Ying to return to the palace and present it to the emperor.
The lights of the palace were bright at night, and there was singing and dancing in the splendid palace. The number of people guarding the palace increased instead of decreasing. Under the cover of the dark night, Qin Tian tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and covered his face, and walked through the palace naked. With Yu Chen's perverted consciousness, he easily avoided the patrolling soldiers one after another.
At the peak of the martial arts, he had never used his hands and feet before. He didn't expect that as a cultivator, it would be so easy to fly over the walls and climb over the walls. He climbed over several palace gates and courtyards without even taking a breath.
"No, someone got there first!"
After walking around a garden, Senior Yu Chen's voice came to my mind.
Qin Tian's heart skipped a beat, he quickened his pace, and flew away in the direction pointed by Yu Chen.
In less than half a stick of incense, the young man arrived at the place where the seven-leaf clover was hidden.
There are many rockeries surrounding this place. Walking back along the rockeries, and then passing through a winding path, you will see a stone gate.
At this moment, both sides of the stone door were wide open, and four corpses were lying on the ground across the steps. The blood had not yet solidified and was dripping down the steps, forming a pool of blood.
The sound of fighting could be heard from time to time in the dark cave, which looked very strange under the flickering firelight.
Qin Tian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart pounding, but he couldn't bear Senior Yu Chen's urging, and finally had the courage to walk in, and picked up a knife to defend himself.
After walking into the stone gate, Qin Tian released his spiritual consciousness and could see everything within a twenty-meter radius. Although it seemed unnecessary with Senior Yu Chen by his side, the former still chose to believe in himself.
After walking straight through a ten-meter-long passage, a three-way intersection appeared. Qin Tian maximized his consciousness, but the length of the three passages was far beyond the range that his consciousness could detect.
In desperation, he could only turn to Yu Chen for help, "Senior, where should we go?"
"Go to the right..." Senior Yu Chen said, "There is a guy in front who is in trouble. With him attracting the attention of these guards, we can successfully obtain the seven-leaf clover!"
"I hope he can last longer!" Qin Tian secretly prayed
Following the guidance of Senior Yu Chen, the young cat walked through several three-way intersections. There is really a unique cave inside, like a maze extending in all directions. Without the guidance of Senior Yu Chen's powerful spiritual consciousness, I am afraid he would have to end up in this stone cave. You can't get lost inside.
next moment!
Qin Tian came to a stone door and stopped. What surprised him was that there was no one guarding him. He was probably attracted by the person who broke in. The young man thought that he didn't care, as long as everything goes well. , A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
"The things are inside, hurry in." Senior Yu Chen reminded
Qin Tian opened the door with some excitement. The two stone doors were really not light, so he used all his strength to push open a gap and squeeze in.
As soon as he entered, he heard three feather arrows whizzing towards Qin Tian.
Qin Tian didn't have time to turn around, and immediately somersaulted backwards, and the arrow just missed him.
This is really a life hanging by a thread. After seeing the three arrows sinking deeply into the stone door, the young man exclaimed that he was in danger. If he were delayed for a second, he would probably be heartbroken.
"Be careful, there are many traps here." Yu Chen warned in a low voice.
"Senior Yuchen, can't you even find out where these mechanisms are with your spiritual consciousness?" Qin Tian was wary of the surroundings, fearing that there were hidden weapons coming.
"Haha, the people who created these mechanisms are not stupid. Look, these stone walls are all covered with powder. These things can block the spiritual consciousness. Even if I didn't fall, I couldn't do anything." Senior Yu Chen shook his head and said, I never expected that the other party would actually use this trick
Qin Tian used the firelight to see that there was indeed a layer of black stuff smeared on the wall, and couldn't help but ask, "What are these? They can actually block the detection of spiritual consciousness."
"This thing is a special kind of rock powder. It is not very rare. When you encounter it, no matter how strong your spiritual consciousness is, you will not be able to penetrate it." Senior Yu Chen explained
"No wonder there are no guards outside the door. It turns out that there are many traps inside, and the divine consciousness cannot be used. Searching for the seven-leaf clover here may be more difficult than climbing to the sky."
Qin Tian carefully scanned the surrounding environment. It was not very big inside. The key was that there were no items here, not even a chair. There was nothing except four stone walls and two torches.
"Are you sure the seven-leaf clover is hidden here?" Qin Tian asked with some suspicion.
"There should be nothing wrong. My consciousness has been following these two guys here. After they came out, the seven-leaf clover was no longer with them!" Yu Chen said, "Look around to see if there is any secret passage mechanism! "
Qin Tian couldn't help frowning. There were many dangers in this stone room. If he moved rashly, he might trigger the hidden weapon mechanism.
For a moment, the stone room was eerily quiet, and you could even hear your own breathing clearly.
The young man carefully took the first step, followed by the second step, the third step...
When he took the tenth step, Qin Tian clearly felt that the floor beneath his feet was sinking a little.
Qin Tian yelled something bad, and an inexplicable fear arose spontaneously. As soon as he said it, dozens of blades flew from all directions.
The speed is as fast as lightning, and Qin Tian, who is at the peak of his cultivation as a warrior, is naturally not immune to him. Although he has no combat experience, he still knows how to dodge.
The body reacted almost reflexively, avoiding the dancing blades nimbly.
The force of the blade was so terrifying that the impact on the stone wall spattered dazzling sparks. Even the strong martial artist's air shield could only withstand it for a moment.
This wave of hidden weapons seemed to have no intention of stopping, one after another, endless, Qin Tian had no choice but to jump in panic to avoid it, and the long knife in his hand occasionally blocked the approaching hidden weapons.
The sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang" could be heard in the stone cave. Fortunately, the guards in the stone cave were attracted by others. Otherwise, such a big movement would have attracted those guards.
Qin Tian dodged several blades and fell to the ground. At this time, he was out of breath. The clothes on his body were torn several times by the sharp blades, and the skin on his arms was even scratched. Fortunately, he was not out of breath. The injuries to the muscles and bones were just minor flesh injuries.
The hidden weapon did not stop venting, and shot out one after another on the stone wall, dancing in the air. The usually gentle young man also said angrily, "It will never end!"
The weapon in his hand danced rapidly, cutting the blades to the ground one by one. This consumes a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy, and I am afraid that he will be exhausted in less than a stick of incense.
Even a martial artist with an air shield would be hard-pressed to withstand such a sharp attack.
At this moment, the young man had the idea of retreating.
At this moment, Yu Chen's words rang in the young man's mind: "Boy, please move the torch on the stone wall."
Hearing this, Qin Tian did not dare to neglect. With a strong movement of his feet, he was ejected. In an instant, he was under the stone wall and took down the torch.
Suddenly, the blades stopped spraying on the stone wall, and it became completely quiet, leaving only the boy's panting voice and the pounding of his heart.
He collapsed on the ground, his hands were trembling a little, and he touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "Your sister..."
"Looking at your potential, this little mechanism scared you like this." Yu Chen said with a sarcastic tone.
"You are still making sarcastic remarks. This was not because of you. I almost lost my life." Qin Tian rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Stop talking nonsense and look for it quickly. There must be a hidden compartment here!" Yu Chen pointed to the torch on the other side of the stone wall and said, "Go and take down that torch and have a look!"
The blades were flying around just now but did not touch these two lonely torches. There might be a mystery behind them!
Yu Chen's thoughts coincided with Qin Tian's. At the moment, he walked slowly towards the opposite side as if walking on thin ice, fearing that he would step into another trap.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Every step was like wandering on the edge of a cliff, and finally we reached the other side without any danger.
Carefully remove the torch.
Suddenly!
A 'click' sound!
The young man retreated back like a frightened bird, his consciousness not daring to relax for a moment, his eyes like torches alerting him to any unusual movements around him.
'Kaka'
There were two more sounds, and in an instant, the three stone walls slowly turned around, and did not stop until they reached the other side.
I saw hundreds of square grids hollowed out on the stone wall, and the grids were filled with items of all sizes.
The young man couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he couldn't name many of the items, looking at the way they were placed in such a secret place, these items must be worth a lot of money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been hidden so tightly.
The young man glanced at the stone grid in front of him. They were all small bottles with a dazzling array. There were words written on the bottles, including Transformation Pill, Void Spirit Pill, Zhixue Powder, Soul Renewal Pill, Immortal Water...
"Get rich, get rich!" Qin Tian jumped up with a knife in his hand, smiling like a child. "If you work hard, you will be rewarded. Don't deceive me sincerely."
On the other wall are some weapons, emitting an icy chill, including meteor hammers, daggers, knives, swords, spears, halberds, spears... there are eighteen kinds of weapons. Judging from the craftsmanship of their creation, they must be much sharper than ordinary weapons.
Looking down, a ring suddenly caught the young man's attention. He looked at the four words written on the stone grid and murmured, "A ring for holding things?"
"Huh?" Senior Yu Chen said with a smile, "You are quite lucky. You actually have a storage ring here. It seems that you don't need to carry the things here."
Qin Tian put the ring on his left index finger. The blue gemstone on the ring was extremely conspicuous. He couldn't help but curiously asked, "Isn't this just for wearing?"
"Put your consciousness inside and take a look."
Qin Tian did as he was told and drilled his consciousness into the blue gem.
A dark space with nothing in it appeared under his consciousness. It was not very big and could barely accommodate six or seven people. Then, the young man withdrew his consciousness.
He immediately asked, "Senior, it's pitch black and there's nothing inside!"
"I call you stupid, but you really showed your performance vividly!" Yu Chen said with a speechless expression, "You just put all these things in, wouldn't it be enough!"
"I see, this thing can be used to hold things?" Qin Tian slapped his forehead and secretly cursed himself as an idiot.
"What do you think?" Yu Chen said, "This is called a holding ring. The blue gemstone set on it is called a space crystal. It contains the laws of space, so it can be made!"
