But at the same time, Zhao Ning also saw a huge shadow in front of the tall ore tree. It was like a stone, but section by section, half of its body was hidden underground and the other half was arched out of the ground. It was a stone monster.
Not daring to underestimate him, Zhao Ning took a Huiyuan Pill under his tongue.
But the shadow remained motionless. Zhao Ning observed it for a long time, gathered a spiritual shield on his body, and cautiously moved forward.
Getting closer and closer, I could barely make out that the big thing was a huge stone snake. Where its body emerged from the ground, fresh soil and stones were dug up. In addition, there were tall ore trees. There are several such potholes and piles of earth and rocks around, which should have been caused by the stone snake's churning, and the time was no longer than half a stick of incense.
But why is this huge creature motionless at this moment?
Zhao Ning waited for half a cup of tea, then pinched the Qingfeng Jue. The wind force was extremely weak, and even the dust on the ground was only half an inch above the ground. However, with such force of wind blowing on the huge thing, it collapsed in an instant. The joints disintegrate into small pieces.
Zhao Ning was shocked and went forward to check. The broken stone body was no different from ordinary stones. Among the stones, Zhao Ning picked up the heart of a stone snake. It was a palm-sized stone. The surface was still warm, and the demonic spiritual power was sealed. In it, it was as if the heart stopped beating in an instant, and the Stone Bone Snake had no way to resist.
Counting the number of joints of the Stone Bone Snake, there are forty-seven in total. Rumor has it that the Stone Bone Snake will regenerate a new body at least a hundred years ago. Based on this calculation, this guy has lived for at least 4,700 years. Then its demon level At least it is equivalent to the human golden elixir stage.
Zhao Ning couldn't help but associate the sudden death of the Stone Snake with the word "Silent" in the ancient Chinese language. Could it be that the power generated by absorbing the spiritual energy in such an earth-shattering way could really make everything in this area annihilated, and even the Stone Snake would have difficulty escaping.
Zhao Ning didn't know how to describe her current mood. She was surprised and frightened, but she was undoubtedly relieved. After all, the stone snake was still alive, and she was the one who died.
She was a little eager to learn ancient writing. Zhao Ning suppressed her inner emotions and put away Shi Xin.
Walking under the huge ore tree, I looked up at the purple-red thing. I had seen so many things that were beyond common sense since I entered the cave. There was nothing surprising at this moment.
It was a fruit that was completely ripe, with a crystal clear surface and purple light emitted from the core inside.
Zhao Ning stretched out his hand, and the fruit fell from the tree and fell into Zhao Ning's hand. Immediately afterwards, the giant tree in front of him also quickly lost its vitality. The branches and leaves fell to the ground with a crash, and radiated to the surroundings from this center, endlessly. The ore forest was also shattered and collapsed. In an instant, the entire mine became a ruin.
Whether all this was caused by "silence" or the falling fruit, Zhao Ning didn't know.
She lowered her eyes to look at the fruit in her hand. The peel quickly rotted and slipped away, leaving a purple-reddish core in her palm.
It's called a fruit core, but it's actually a piece of diamond-shaped ore that looks like iron but not iron. It's extremely heavy. Holding it in the palm of your hand feels like holding something weighing a thousand kilograms.
Zhao Ning thought of the comment that Wan Shizhenyu put into the House of Silent Spirit.
——The molten rock is immortal and can breed black iron, which is a treasure of heaven and earth. It accepts the sky and the earth, and splits the space by itself.
This is Earth Rock Black Iron, a metallic treasure of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Zhao Ning realized that the cave in front of him was not actually a cave at the bottom of a lava river, but a space opened up by black iron in the ground.
If you want to get out of this space, you must use the Earth Rock Black Iron for your own use.
To Zhao Ning, it was like a pillow handed to him when he fell asleep.
Yunsi Qianhuan's cloak was damaged by Jia Rui. Although it is not difficult to repair, what if he meets the so-called ancient sky-thief clan again, and then encounters Feiyun Dragon Detective?
The Taiyi Five Elements Refining Technique must be used to refine the Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak into a life magic weapon. With the addition of the Five Elements Genius Earth Treasure, Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak will grow with her and advance into a spiritual treasure.
Zhao Ning is not in a hurry to refine the weapon immediately. What is more important for her now is to repair the lack of blood essence.
Fortunately, many elixirs have been planted in the House of Silent Spirit, and many elixirs have mutated into new rare elixirs. Among them, Dragon Beard Snow Ginseng is the best elixir for restoring essence and blood.
Dragon Beard Snow Ginseng is a variant of ginseng. Zhao Ning has been planting ginseng since he started practicing. With the accelerated growth of the strange device, ginseng was harvested piece by piece. Several mutant ginseng strains were also produced, including purple ginseng and red blood ginseng. Only three Asparagus Snow Ginseng strains have mutated from ginseng in the past few years, and all of them were formed after tens of thousands of years of mutation.
Entering the east side hall garden, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Qingmi tea, which had been silent for a long time, was ripe.
A few new tea seeds grew among the branches and leaves. A gentle sniff of the tea fragrance made the flow of spiritual energy in the body smoother.
Get the jade box, carefully put the Qingmi tea leaves into the box, there are nine pieces in total, nine pieces of Qingmi tea, the bottleneck will be removed immediately under Yuanying.
Putting the jade box properly, Zhao Ning took out the Dragon Beard Snow Ginseng. The only disadvantage of the mutated ginseng was that it could not grow directly from the mutated seeds and had to wait for the ginseng to mutate.
After walking out of the East Side Hall, Zhao Ning paused and looked at the screen wall in front of the central corridor. The screen wall changed. There were nearly a hundred characters on it. The characters were exactly the words on the stone tablet obtained from the cave. Her consciousness moved slightly. , and found that the stone tablet disappeared into the House of Silent Spirit.
Swallowed by the shadow wall? Zhao Ning realized this, and it was clear to her mind that the stone tablet and the House of Silent Spirit must be products of the same era, and may even have some kind of connection.
Knowing that she could not understand the content at this time, Zhao Ning did not check it again. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the screen wall. The ancient words dispersed, the gray mist swam, and new words appeared, which she usually saw on the screen wall. of.
"The Mansion of Silent Spirit, the master is Zhao Ning, and his life is three to five."
The difference from before is that her lifespan has actually increased by five years. This should be the increase in lifespan after breaking through to the advanced level of Qi training.
But Zhao Ning was even more surprised. She thought that after these repeated battles and the heavy injuries at the hands of Jia Rui, her life would be shortened by a few years. What's more, she also sacrificed half of her life essence and blood, which was much worse than what she suffered in the mortal world when she was a child. Even more powerful.
At this time, Zhao Ning vaguely realized that her initial lifespan might not have been shortened by several decades due to the hardships she endured as a child. Perhaps she was destined to only have a lifespan of twenty-five years, or because of other...
Zhao Ning felt slightly sad in her heart, but she soon felt relieved. Now that she has entered the path of cultivation, there are many pills to increase longevity and health, and promotion can also increase her longevity. At this moment, she does not need to worry about longevity at all.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Ning exited the House of Silent Spirits, took the elixir, and rested in peace to recover and practice.
The days passed so quickly, almost a year passed.
In addition to taking Longxu Snow Ginseng, Zhao Ning also took a lot of precious elixir, which allowed her body to fully recover and her essence and blood to replenish.
During the period of recuperation, with the help of elixirs and the unparalleled spirit-gathering effect of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Zhao Ning quickly opened up the 365 meridians of the external meridian, and his cultivation level quickly rose to the ninth level of Qi training. Dzogchen is only missing eight extraordinary meridians.
Zhao Ning felt the spiritual power flowing vigorously in her body. Compared with when she first entered the seventh level of Qi training, her spiritual power accumulation was hundreds of times higher than before.
If he meets Jia Rui in the Qi refining stage again, Zhao Ning narrows his eyes slightly, and all the grudges will be settled.
In the following time, Zhao Ning began to refine the Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak, integrating the Earth Rock Black Iron into the cloak according to Taiyi's Five Elements Artifact Refining Method.
After seventy-seven and forty-nine days, the Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak unfolded, and a golden thread walked along the edge of the cloak. Spiritual power was injected into it, and the golden spiritual patterns depicted the mysterious ancient seal. With a slight movement of consciousness, the cloak fell on the shoulders and spread loosely. Then she wrapped her whole body, Zhao Ning's eyes moved, the spiritual patterns on the cloak flashed, and her figure instantly appeared three feet away.
Instantaneous!
The space power of the Earth Rock Black Iron is integrated into the Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak, inspiring new skills. When used, it can instantly move three feet away. It is an extremely ghostly and life-saving technique.
She closed her eyes and felt that there was a subtle connection with Yunsi Qianhuan Cloak, and Zhao Ning was satisfied.
The cloak disappeared and Zhao Ning stood up. The high pressure in the cave gradually disappeared due to the refining of the black iron from the earth's rock.
Until half an hour later, the high pressure was completely as usual, but it did not stop. The pressure was decreasing, so that Zhao Ning felt that his body was getting lighter. After half a cup of tea, Yufeng was flying lightly without even having to hold the hand.
When he floated to a higher place, he was shocked to find that the entire cave was shrinking.
When Zhao Ning arrived at the entrance of the cave, the initial barrier had completely lost resistance. Zhao Ning wrapped her cloak and stepped into the lava river. The next moment, the cave completely collapsed and disappeared, as if it had never appeared again.
Even with a cloak to protect her body, the hot temperature in the river still made it difficult for Zhao Ning to stay for long.
She rushed out of the lava river and as soon as she landed on the ground, she discovered that this secret realm seemed to have changed somewhat compared to a year ago.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become much more stable, the blood in the mist at high altitudes is completely invisible, and the air is no longer mixed with the smell of blood.
This should be a good thing.
After Mingluo and Chen Tian went out, they reported it to the sect. Has the sect rectified the secret realm? Zhao Ning thought in her heart and flew towards the crater quickly.
As he galloped along, his eyes quickly passed over the scenery he saw, including yellow sand, dead trees, and small fire-type monsters wandering around. It was as harmonious as a painting.
Arriving again at the location where the two sects fought, all the bones had disappeared. They might have been taken back by the sect's people. The damaged fire-containing tree also disappeared, and a tree appeared on the bare tree stump. sprouts.
She hesitated for a moment, stood on the tree stump, and suddenly turned over her hand and took out a token that looked like fire.
It was the Haoyang Order that she formed by merging the Samadhi True Flame Pearl with the totem.
After only a slight injection of spiritual energy, I heard a series of rumbling sounds. When I turned around, I saw those countless dead bones slowly dragging towards the underground palace again.
Zhao Ning has always believed that this is not the real Tomb of Haoyang. What is the purpose of wandering around like this to attract disciples in the secret realm by chance from heaven?
There are rumors in the sect that the Tomb of Haoyang can only be opened by activating three Haoyang Orders at the same time, but one Haoyang Order summoned a strange underground palace.
Is this really the underground palace in Haoyang's tomb?
The underground palace stopped ten feet in front of Zhao Ning, and the bronze door slowly opened. The glow inside seemed to be calling Zhao Ning to go in and take a look.
Zhao Ning stood in front of the bronze door. When she reached out to touch it, she felt a twitch in her head. Another shock and she teleported a hundred feet away.
She suddenly made a seal, and the Chamoon Sword appeared in her hand, and at this moment, she slashed towards the underground palace with all her strength.
The sword light broke through the bronze gate, opened the main entrance of the hall, broke open the screen, and smashed open the inner hall.
But when he came across a painting, he didn't have time to see the picture clearly. He only felt that there was something spiritual in the painting, and a blood-red vertical pupil flashed past.
Then the underground palace disappeared into the secret realm.
Monster!
Zhao Ning quickly headed to the crater, and then flew up to the high-altitude teleportation array.
The moment she touched it, her vision was distorted and she felt dizzy. When her vision stabilized, she had already appeared at the place where she entered the secret realm of Ten Thousand Cave.
Suddenly, she noticed subtle connections around her, a gust of wind approached quickly, and a stainless steel sword fell on her neck.
I heard someone shouting, "Who is this person! Breaking into the secret realm of Qingxiao Sect!"
Zhao Ning didn't look back or make any additional moves, and her voice was cold.
"I haven't seen you for a year. I really am an old friend who has forgotten me."
Chapter 115
"Clang!"
The stainless steel sword fell to the ground, Zhao Ning turned his head, and the man behind him immediately knelt down in fear and surprise.
"Blood slave Lin Ke, meet the master."
"Master, you are finally back."
There were only two of them outside the secret realm, but the teleportation array suspended in the mountains was missing. The secret realm seemed to be sealed.
"There is no need to call it that." Zhao Ning said with a calm tone, turned around and walked into the forest not far away. Even if there was no one outside the secret realm, this was not a place to talk.
Lin Ke quickly stood up and followed.
The mountain stream falls from the high ground, and the small waterfall creates a shallow pool hidden in the forest. The stream swirls in the pool and rushes to the lower ground.
The sound of conversation was drowned out by the sound of falling water.
"Something happened to Xiao Bi in the second round, and the young senior sister was delayed in returning. The three of us were worried about the safety of the young senior sister, so we took turns waiting outside the secret realm in the name of duty. With the help of heaven, young senior sister, you have finally returned safely."
Zhao Ning didn't know how much sincerity there was in this, but they didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Ning, that was for sure, otherwise they would die as well.
Zhao Ning turned her back to him, standing on a rock by the stream, her eyes falling on a few fish swimming in the shallow pool.
She asked calmly, "Have you done what I arranged for you to do?"
After finishing speaking, Lin Ke immediately knelt down again, "Senior Sister, we are useless, Senior Brother Jia... No, Jia Rui has been in seclusion since we returned and only came out three months ago, but it is already difficult for us to get close to him. ”
"Three months ago?" Zhao Ning closed her eyes slightly.
