In the mountains, the trees cover the sky and the fallen leaves sink into the ground.
Zhong Ling'er followed Mu Qing, looking left and right, holding the Xinghua Bell in one hand and tugging at the corner of Mu Qing's clothes with the other.
Mu Qing smiled when he saw this and said, "We have been walking in the Realm of Jueling for so long and we have never seen him so nervous?"
Zhong Ling'er pursed her lips, pulled the corners of his clothes tighter, and said, "Although it's not that dark here, there is a sticky coldness. I always feel like something is staring at me."
Mu Qing frowned, and while looking around carefully, he said: "The white mist outside the mountains is poisonous. The mountain forest is filled with miasma. It may be the reason why you feel slimy, but there is no smell of living things around."
Zhong Ling'er was a little depressed: "I'm not sure, it's just a feeling."
The perception ability of Tianbao True Spirit is much sharper. Mu Qing silently remembered it in his heart and said: "Don't worry, I will protect you when there is danger."
Zhong Ling'er snorted softly, and the spiritual light ribbon around her body brightened, and the orange-red halo spread, like a torch in the dark and humid environment of the forest, dispersing the poisonous gas around her.
Mu Qing saw that the halo was still coming towards him and said quickly: "That's okay, I don't need to."
Zhong Ling'er frowned and glanced at Mu Qing, and suddenly discovered Mu Qing's ability, and said in surprise: "Don't you practice the same technique as me? Why can you still refine these poisonous gases?"
Mu Qing couldn't explain his current ability, so he reluctantly explained: "In addition to the Nine Heavens Nether Flame Technique, I have also practiced other techniques."
Zhong Ling'er frowned and thought for a while, always feeling that Mu Qing's practice method was strange, but she was very inexperienced in this area, so she could only say oh.
The two continued to explore forward.
Zhong Ling'er couldn't sit still and said, "Aren't we going to save people? Why are we wasting time?"
Mu Qing said seriously: "With your help, I have greatly shortened the time I expected. Everything I do now is more fully prepared."
Zhong Ling'er tried to understand Mu Qing's purpose, tilting her head to sense the surroundings, and said: "If you want to find a magic weapon, there shouldn't be one here, but if there is a spiritual energy, it will be easy to find."
Mu Qing stopped and looked at Zhong Linger helplessly.
Zhong Ling'er rolled her eyes proudly and said, "You didn't tell me what you were going to do just now, so you relied on me to guess everything?"
With Zhong Ling'er's help, Mu Qing no longer explored forward bit by bit, but went straight in and swept towards the mountainside.
Soon, a stream appeared in front of the two of them. They walked along the water and soon came to the source of the stream.
This is a large rock that is melted into the mountain and only a small part of it is exposed. The water falls from the top of the large rock several feet high, rustling like a silver ribbon. The air around it is moist but carries a strange fragrance, which is completely different from the cold and poisonous atmosphere before. malaria.
Zhong Ling'er's eyes swept around and finally stopped in the middle of the waterfall, which was more than one foot wide.
Mu Qing did not hesitate and rushed there. After passing through the water, his footsteps landed steadily on the ground.
This is a cave.
Zhong Ling'er also barged in and exclaimed: "What is it? It smells so good~"
Mu Qing quickly reminded: "Hold your breath, I just triggered a restriction, this fragrance is poisonous."
The tip of Zhong Ling'er's nose moved slightly and she said, "It's okay, the poison doesn't seem to be very powerful."
Mu Qing regarded poisonous gas as spiritual energy. Seeing that Zhong Ling'er had no abnormality, he returned his attention to the cave.
The two of them walked forward, and a stone staircase going down soon appeared in front of them. After walking down the stone steps, they found a large and empty stone room.
Zhong Ling'er suddenly let out a soft cry and flew towards the stone wall. The halo around her spread, allowing Mu Qing to see clearly what was next to the stone wall.
Rows of wooden shelves stood quietly next to the stone wall, with porcelain bottles marked with ancient characters displayed on them. At a glance, it was seen that such wooden shelves extended out, and there were already hundreds of porcelain bottles in sight.
Zhong Ling'er's figure was like passing light, illuminating wherever she went. Soon she stopped on a row of wooden shelves in the distance.
Mu Qing followed.
This row of wooden shelves has nine floors like other places, but the strange thing is that except for the row on the lowest floor, which is filled with nine porcelain bottles, the number of porcelain bottles decreases in sequence as you go up.
The first floor was empty.
Mu Qing picked up a porcelain bottle on the lowest floor, directly removed the restriction on it, and took off the cork.
A strange fragrance instantly filled the air.
Zhong Ling'er came closer, and the halo around her shone slightly, and actually made a crackling sound, which scared her and took several steps back.
Mu Qing's chest rose and fell slightly, and he inhaled the fragrance into his mouth and nose, then put the cork on the bottle again and placed a new restriction.
Zhong Ling'er looked up at Mu Qing and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, your face."
Mu Qing's face was dark and purple, resembling a dead person, but after just a few breaths, his face returned to normal.
Mu Qing glanced at the porcelain bottle in his hand, raised his head and looked at the wooden frame in front of him, and took a breath: "What I have in my hand is a poison elixir, which is well preserved. According to the quality, it should be a first-turn golden elixir."
Zhong Ling'er tilted her head: "It seems that the pills going up should be better."
Mu Qing nodded and stopped on the two bottles of elixirs in the second row. He got closer and saw the ancient characters on the wooden shelf: Blood-draining elixir.
Mu Qing sighed: "It looks like they are all poison pills that can kill many people."
Mu Qing did not act foolishly and opened the elixir again. He turned his head to look at Zhong Ling'er and said with a smile: "You led me to discover this place. Let's divide it into four and six. I will be four and you will be six."
Zhong Ling'er shook her head in disgust, "I don't want any of these poison pills."
With that said, Zhong Ling'er took out the accounting realm from her sleeve and threw it towards Mu Qing.
Mu Qing smiled knowingly and caught it steadily.
The glimmer of light on the bronze mirror flashed, and there was another line of writing. Mu Qing originally thought that the favor Zhong Ling'er owed him would be repaid, but he didn't expect that the first line of words was only slightly dimmed, not even as good as Zhong Ling'er helping her on her way.
After Zhong Ling'er got the bronze mirror back, she was very satisfied with it and said with a smile: "It would be nice to have a few more places like this."
Mu Qing started to put the elixirs into the Najie in order from high to low, but he only collected half of them, and his two Najies were already full.
Mu Qing subconsciously looked at Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Ling'er was a little embarrassed: "I'm not used to loading things for others."
Mu Qing smiled apologetically. He looked inside the items in the ring and took out everything except the sword box and ancient sword he got from the Shuangji Sect. ..
Mu Qing pointed to the magic weapons he picked up in the Great Sun Sect and said to Zhong Ling'er, "I'll give these to you."
Zhong Ling'er glanced at it, indifferent.
Mu Qing suddenly remembered that Zhong Ling'er had said that she had picked out the remaining magic weapons. He smiled bitterly, turned around and continued to collect the elixirs.
For Mu Qing, even if the elixirs in the underground stone chamber were all poisonous elixirs, they were the easiest items to replenish his true energy, so he planned to collect as many as possible.
Soon, only 30% of the elixirs on the wooden shelf were left.
Mu Qing was satisfied with this exploration and said, "Let's go."
Zhong Ling'er glanced at the wooden shelves that had not been visited, took out a dull bead, and said: "The Great Sun Sect was looted, and the only magic weapon that can be used to hold things is a Na Ring, but I can help you put these away. The elixir is refined into the purest spiritual energy and stored in the Huanzhen Pearl."
Mu Qing smiled slightly, looked at the beads in her hand, and asked curiously: "Is this true bead similar to a spiritual stone?"
"Yes." Zhong Ling'er said crisply: "My real pearl is of the last quality. If it is full of spiritual energy, it can help a person in the late stage of mortal transformation to recover all his true energy in a very short time."
As Zhong Ling'er spoke, she threw the Pearl into the air, and the streamers around her came to life, manifesting into a fire dragon that was more than ten feet long. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the porcelain bottles shattered one after another, and the pills inside were wrapped in the flames. It made a series of sounds, and after it was completely refined into streams of spiritual energy, it was controlled to enter the Huanzhen Pearl.
After burning the incense, the fire dragon returned to Zhong Ling'er and turned into a ribbon of spiritual light. The real pearl slowly fell into Zhong Ling'er's hand, revealing a bright blue color.
Zhong Ling'er felt it and said: "Unfortunately, so many elixirs are only in the middle stage of mortal transformation."
Mu Qing nodded slightly, quite satisfied, and said: "The remaining elixirs are all low-level elixirs. It is already good to have such a harvest."
Zhong Ling
The child threw the Pearl to Mu Qing, collected the magic weapons on the ground, and said: "You should be a qualified city lord, and I should learn from you. I can leave these magic weapons to those disciples who want to join the Great Sun Sect. Let them each have one."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. The lowest level of these magic weapons were spirit soldiers. He was already looking forward to what the expressions of those in Hidden Valley would be like when Zhong Ling'er arrived in Suzaku City.
Mu Qing put the Dzi Bead into his sleeve and said, "Take out that bronze mirror."
Zhong Ling'er smiled slyly: "Forget it, I still have to go to Suzaku City. It's too troublesome to take out everything."
Zhong Ling'er seemed to be thinking of settling the accounts later. Mu Qing smiled and said, "This exploration went very smoothly and the harvest was great. We can leave here."
Zhong Ling'er thought about the scenery outside the cave and said in surprise: "Are you leaving this broken place?"
Mu Qing nodded. His goal had been achieved, so naturally he didn't want to stop.
Zhong Linger frowned.
Seeing this, Mu Qing asked curiously: "Do you want to stay a little longer?"
Zhong Ling'er said: "There are some caves on this mountain. Although the spiritual energy is not as sufficient as here, I want to visit them."
This was the first time Zhong Ling'er had the idea of actively exploring. Mu Qing recalled what Zhong Ling'er said at the beginning, nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look together."
Zhong Linger smiled: "Okay."
The two of them left the cave, with Zhong Ling'er in front and Mu Qing behind, and then headed in other directions.
After the breath of the two people completely disappeared, a green snake slowly swam out from the stream. It looked at the direction in which the two people were going, raised its head and spat out a snake message, and there was a trace of biting anger in its erect pupils.
In a deserted cave.
Mu Qing picked up a porcelain bottle, took out the elixir, frowned and said: "We have searched four caves, and the last three are the same. Although there are also poisonous elixirs, the spiritual material has been severely lost and has no value."
Mu Qing said: "There seems to be something wrong with the first cave being so well preserved."
Zhong Ling'er didn't respond. Mu Qing looked towards her and saw that she was looking at the entrance of the cave where she came from. He felt wary and walked to her side before asking softly: "What did you find?"
