A few hours later, Xu Wen woke up from his sleep due to severe pain.
The pain was like splitting in the head, as if dozens of carriages were running over his head.
He reluctantly cast a Soul Soothing Technique on himself and fainted again.
When I woke up again an hour later, my splitting headache felt much better, but I was still groggy.
This was an obvious case of excessive soul consumption, but his soul only entered the scarlet orb for only a moment.
After glancing at the red orb, he didn't dare to look at it any more and began to meditate to recover.
It wasn't until a day later that his soul fully recovered.
He glanced at an orb with lingering fear, tiptoed, and a stone suddenly flew out, shooting the orb away.
There was a "rustling" sound, and the stones passed through the orb, creating a deep pit on the opposite earth wall. Strands of fine sand flowed out of the small holes, and soon piled up into a small pile of sand on the ground.
He glanced at the orb with a cold expression, raised his hand and took out a throwing knife that he didn't remember snatching from someone.
With a surge of magic power, the flying knife shot out, penetrated the orb and was deeply embedded in the soil on the opposite side.
No matter whether it has magic power or not, as long as it is a physical object, it cannot touch this orb, but the spiritual consciousness can go to that mysterious space through it.
This orb is not a phantom or a shadow, but rather a projection of some kind, just a beacon connecting that world with this place.
If it's not enough, it doesn't mean that he has no power. These fire spirit stones are the best embodiment of it.
With a wave of his hand, mana surged out and rushed towards the six golden talismans surrounding the orb, but it still had no effect.
These talismans do not seem to be the same thing as orbs. In fact, they are more likely to be different aspects of the same thing, just displayed in different ways.
After trying several times to no avail, he turned to look at the fire spirit stones, raised his hand and waved, and all the spirit stones flew out and fell into Xu Wen's hands.
Since I can't take away this orb, I can only use these low-grade spiritual stones to make some supplements.
Then he turned around and left without stopping.
This thing is anything but ordinary, and that strange world is even less simple, but it far exceeds his current ability. Envy is worthless.
After fleeing all the way, a few days later, he stopped again. There were six identical golden talismans, but instead of a red orb in the middle, there was a yellow orb.
Unsurprisingly, there are many yellow earth spirit stones growing in various places in the surrounding passages.
After testing it using ordinary techniques, it turned out that, just like before, this yellow orb was also an illusion.
After hesitating for a long time, he resisted the urge to use his spiritual scanning again, put away the earth spirit stones around him, and strode away.
After encountering this kind of thing twice, Xu Wen suddenly had some guesses.
Sure enough, a few days later, he once again encountered a white orb surrounded by six golden talismans, surrounded by silvery-white golden spiritual stones.
At this moment, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.
These orbs obviously correspond to the five elements, and are then arranged according to the principle of the five elements' mutual development.
All things are born out of fire, so fire ranks first, and then appears in the order of fire giving birth to earth, and earth giving birth to metal.
If what he expected was good, the next steps would be gold producing water and water producing wood. You can see the black orb representing the water attribute and the green orb representing the wood attribute respectively.
When the five elements are complete, yin and yang coexist. If nothing else, the place where Qin Sanjian asked him to go is the place where yin and yang coexist.
By this time, Xu Wen had completely absorbed his thoughts.
Qin Sanjian found that he could only use the place he had given away for so long but could not keep it for himself, let alone him. It would be better for An An to delay completing the transaction with Qin Sanjian.
But he wanted to be safe, but he might not be able to. A few days later, just when he estimated that he was approaching the passage where the water attribute orbs were stored, bursts of mana fluctuations suddenly came from not far away.
Already thinking in his heart, Xu Wen immediately contracted the light of Earth Escape and quickly escaped downwards.
A moment later, two figures wielding earth magic passed over them one after another.
They were not escaping very fast. They were carefully checking their surroundings as they walked, as if they were looking for something.
The straight line distance from Simian Mountain is not far. With the speed of foundation building, it only takes two days to get there. Those who can enjoy such a leisurely time in this location are naturally the people from Liuyun Valley.
The two of them did not expect that there would be other people at such a close distance, and they did not hide their whereabouts at all.
The moment the light turned around, Xu Wen saw their faces clearly.
He had met both of them. One was Yang Minghuang's disciple Guo Hengbu, and he had fought against him several times.
Knowing that Yang Minghuang was here, Xu Wen estimated that Guo Hengbu would probably come, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.
After decades, Guo Hengbu has also entered the late stage of foundation building.
Yang Minghuang has always had a good eye for recruiting disciples. With the guidance of a real person named Jindan, it is not surprising that he will advance to the later stage of foundation building.
However, Xu Wen's cultivation back then was not as good as his. Now that the two of them are at the same level, and equipped with magical weapons, Xu Wen is 100% confident that he can easily kill him.
The other person's name is unknown, but he only knows that he is the senior brother of Huang Wanggong and Huang Jiangong in Liuyun Valley.
When the Four Factions hunted Xu Wen, he followed Huang Wanggong. All the Huang family brothers died in Xu Wen's hands, but he survived until now.
There has also been some progress in cultivation, from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
But in Xu Wen's eyes now, he no longer poses any threat and is just a nobody worth mentioning.
Looking at the direction in which they were escaping, Xu Wen quietly used his Earth Escape Technique and followed the two of them.
Xu Wen's escape technique was far more sophisticated than theirs, and it was hidden underground. He could sense the other party, but the other party was completely unaware of him.
The two of them did not practice earth magic. They both used earth magic. Half an hour later, when the magic talismans expired, they turned around and returned. Not long after, they appeared in an underground cave.
This cave is different from the series of caves where the Five Elements Orb is located. The nearby earth elements are normal and are just ordinary underground caves.
The sound of rushing water sounded, and an underground river flowed through the cave.
"Brother Guo, have you discovered anything?"
After a moment of silence, Mao Yuanchao looked at Guo Hengbu and asked.
"No, what about you?"
Guo Hengbu shook his head and asked instead.
Mao Yuanchao also shook his head, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
After resting for half an hour, the two of them used the Earth Talisman again and headed underground.
Xu Wen knew what they were looking for, and it was probably Xuanling True Water.
The war is approaching, Qin Sanjian can't escape, and Yang Minghuang and others naturally can't escape either, so they can only let the disciples search here randomly.
Guo Hengbu and the two found their way here along the underground river. The underground river was winding and had many tributaries.
It's naturally very difficult to find things when his eyes are darkened and he can only rely on the earth magic talisman.
If Jin Dan doesn't come forward, with the magic power of the two foundation-building monks, this is basically a waste of effort.
They obviously knew this, so they seemed reluctant.
After quietly following them for a while, and confirming that there was no great threat to his actions, Xu Wen withdrew and did not follow them again.
The Xuanling True Water is very precious and can greatly help break through the small realm of Jindan, so it attracts the pursuit of Yang Minghuang and others.
Although the things are good, they are not urgent for Xu Wen at this stage. It would be nice to make some profit, but it doesn't matter if he can't.
There is no big grudge between the two parties. If they want to rescue Chu Yin and others, Xu Wen will not intervene in the battle between Bazhou Mountain and Liuyun Valley at all. There is no need to kill them at the risk of alerting the enemy.
With his thoughts together, Xu Wen quietly left and went straight to where the Shui Lingzhu was.
Unlike them running around like headless flies, Earth Escape Technique is very sensitive to changes in earth properties. Soon, Xu Wen found the next passage.
As expected, the water spirit bead was also suspended in the center of the passage. Drops of crystal water vapor surrounded it. From time to time, a drop of water condensed and fell to the ground.
There is a small water pool in the ground, and streams of real water are constantly surging in it. The area the size of a bowl actually feels like huge waves.
The strange fragrance floated around, and after taking a few sips, the depression and anxiety of a month of traveling underground suddenly disappeared.
"Xuanling True Water?"
Xu Wen couldn't help but let out a sigh. Could it be that the thing Yang Minghuang and the others couldn't find came from this water spirit bead.
But soon I felt something was wrong. Xuanling True Water was a third-level spiritual object, and it definitely had more than just this little aura.
I took out a drop and tasted it. The magic power did react, but it was definitely not the level that third-level true water should have.
But to say that there is Xuanling True Water and Qingling Formation Water in the same place is obviously too coincidental and unlikely to happen.
The Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique was activated, and a bright white light suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a message:
The Ming Soul Water has given birth to a hint of Xuanling True Water.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Wen suddenly realized.
Although these Ming Soul Waters bred by Water Spirit Pearls are only second-level treasures, their roots are extremely extraordinary and already have a hint of Xuanling True Water.
The properties of the second-level true water cannot be retained for a long time. After it merges into the underground river, the Qingling Formation water completely turns into ordinary water.
However, the third-level aura of Xuanling True Water did not dissipate so easily. It remained for a much longer time. It was discovered by Yang Minghuang and others, which led to the subsequent search for Xuanling True Water.
Looking at Ming Ming's soul water in front of him, Xu Wen couldn't help but chuckle to himself when he thought that all the efforts Yang Minghuang and others had put into were actually just fooling around.
However, this water spirit bead is indeed extraordinary. If time is extended, it is not necessarily possible to breed Xuanling True Water.
"Don't talk about Xuanling True Water, even this Mingming Spiritual Water, you don't want it!"
He sneered in his heart, raised his hand, and put all the Ming soul water into a jade bottle and took it away.
Although it is not as good as Xuanling True Water, Mingxin Water is also a second-level spiritual object. It can calm the soul and its value is not low.
Then he used the art of turning mud into stone one after another, turning all the soil near the true water into a single rock, preventing the bright soul water from seeping into the underground river.
In this way, even if Yang Minghuang tried his best, he would never be able to find a trace of the Xuanling True Water again.
Moreover, if no one discovers this place in the future, he can come regularly to collect the spiritual water of the Ming Dynasty. The leeks that he will grow will not be too good.
I recommend a friend's book "My Wealth Spreads All Over the Heavens" and ask everyone to take a look.
