The days of cultivation passed quickly, and now it is only a month before the secret realm is opened.
In the past few years, as long as they had the strength to take down the elixirs and various monster beasts that filled the valley, the two of them had made countless gains.
With Shen Qinglan's delicacies on one side and Nan Qing's endless supply of elixirs on the other, the two's cultivation progressed very quickly.
Now Nan Qing has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If she were not afraid that she would be struck to death by lightning while building a foundation in the valley, Nan Qing would have achieved a breakthrough in seclusion a year ago.
Shen Qinglan reached the eleventh level of Qi refining, and went from the sixth level to the eleventh level in five years. Compared with Nan Qing, Shen Qinglan's progress was actually more obvious.
This relies on her single fire spiritual root and the changes in her meridians that year, which makes her cultivation speed much faster than that of ordinary single spiritual roots.
And his strength is stronger than at the same time. Nan Qing is no longer Shen Qinglan's opponent.
There is also an adult wolf cub, although he is only at the first level. I don’t know if he ate too much meat made by Shen Qinglan or too many elixirs prepared by Nan Qing.
Today's little wolf has amazing speed and is extremely humane. He has long been an indispensable partner for the two of them, and is also a great help in battle.
Today is the day when the luck of two people and one wolf explodes.
Today they invaded the territory of the Ice Crystal Beast, which is the coldest place in the entire Wushan Secret Realm.
Years ago, they discovered that there was a group of ice crystal beasts living on the ridge, so they tried to capture them, but they were not strong enough at the time and had to withdraw after two times.
In the past two years, the strength of the two and the wolf has increased. I thought that if I try again before the secret realm is opened, I will have no chance in the future.
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
They did it!
This ice crystal beast says that it is a beast, but in fact it is not. They are formed after the ice and snow crystals give birth to spiritual intelligence. This is not the common way of reproduction of large animals giving birth to small ones.
But if not, they are a group of intelligent and hierarchical people, and the highest cultivation level is naturally the third-level ice crystal beast.
Ice attribute attacks belong to the water attribute, and the barrier belongs to water, so it is very attractive to water attribute monsters.
Just like the six-legged rock pig and the blue-eyed fire lion before, they both chose the fire attribute.
Shen Qinglan's strange fire accounted for most of the credit for being able to hunt down this ethnic group this time.
After a few years, Nan Qing also discovered that her spiritual fire was different from others, but she was still shocked when she saw the powerful flames in her hands burning a group of trapped ice crystal beasts into residue.
Although they worked together to trap the enemy, they finally annihilated them with the help of strange fire.
The two of them were looking for the stone heart of the ice crystal beast on the ground, which was also the most valuable of these things.
"There must be an ice crystal ore nearby." Nan Qing sounded very sure.
This kind of ore generally appears in the Northern Territory, and is considered a relatively rare existence among ores.
"You can exchange it for a lot of spirit stones, right?"
Nan Qing was already used to the fact that Shen Qinglan liked to convert the things she harvested into spiritual stones.
"It's a pity that unless you find this kind of ore with your own eyes, you won't be able to detect traces of it. Even if you see it, some ignorant people will regard it as an ordinary piece of ice."
Shen Qinglan took a hammer and knocked here and there, hoping to find some clues.
Nan Qing was trying hard to recall the information about the ice crystal mine.
"Oow, ow, ow, ow."
The little wolf screamed several times. At this time, she stood on a short slope and jumped back and forth, trying to attract the attention of the two people.
"Ouch, ouch."
Shen Qinglan and Shen Qinglan looked at each other and saw a hint of expectation in each other's eyes. The little wolf was sometimes useful.
After they jumped up the hillside, their consciousness scanned for a long time, but still found nothing.
Shen Qinglan grabbed Xiaolang's ears and said, "Tell me, are you kidding us?"
"Ouch!" Xiaolang's tone was a little excited and aggrieved.
It broke free from Shen Qinglan's claws and began to dig hard at the ground, splashing mud on Shen Qinglan's body.
"I don't think it has the courage. If it dares to sprinkle soil on you, it must be confident."
"Okay, let's try."
The two took out their tools, and with the blessing of spiritual power, they quickly dug a large pit about ten feet deep.
Finally, when Shen Qinglan was about to catch the wolf and give it a good beating, she found that the soil under her feet had hardened.
Nan Qing also noticed it, "Child it into pieces and take a look."
When Shen Qinglan chiseled out a fist-sized stone, Nan Qing suddenly became excited, "It should be!"
"Ice crystal mine?"
Nan Qing took the stone and began to use her spiritual power to grind away a thick layer of stone skin on all four sides, revealing something as big as a thumb and like an ice cube inside.
"It's really cryolite!"
"Cryolite grows in the soil?"
Nan Qing knelt down and continued chipping away at the stone, "It's not necessarily the case. Sometimes it might be wrapped in ice."
Shen Qinglan took out a large piece of roasted rabbit meat from the storage bag and threw it to Xiaolang, "Not bad, let's continue next time. After eating, go watch the wind."
When the little wolf saw the meat, he immediately forgot about being grabbed before. He whined, picked up the meat and found a high place to guard it.
Drilling is a laborious and time-consuming task. In one hour, the two of them only dug dozens of pieces together.
But Shen Qinglan and the two were extremely happy.
All he talked about was how to squander this large sum of spiritual stones after going out.
The two of them were afraid that time would come, so they put the stones directly into the storage bag and polished them after they got out.
In this way, for more than half a month after the two beautiful cultivators came down, they sat around in the deeper and deeper mine pit with gray faces, putting pieces of cryolite into their storage bags.
When I was hungry, I would eat whatever was in my storage bag. When I was really tired, I would lie down at the bottom of the pit and take a nap.
The monks in the Qi refining stage were not only unable to live without food, but also needed to sleep. After fighting for nearly 20 days, the two finally harvested all the cryolite in the pit.
Shen Qinglan sat weakly on the edge of the pit, "If I dig one more piece, I will vomit. I don't want to dig any more ore in this life!"
Nan Qing was not much better, leaning against Xiaolang with a tired look on her face.
"It's not over yet. We have to fill this hole now, and we can't let others find any abnormalities."
After hearing Nan Qing's words, Shen Qinglan wailed and stood up.
The two began filling the surrounding soil back into the hole until it became a low slope again.
Nan Qing took out some grass seeds, spiritual plant seeds and the like, and spent two days growing them until they looked similar to the surrounding ones before stopping.
Fortunately, she majored in wood attribute spiritual roots, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to handle!
When they were done, the two returned to the cave they had searched for before.
From now on, the two of them cannot appear in other places in the valley. Once the Wushan secret realm is opened, the monks outside will be randomly teleported to various places in the periphery.
They should act as if they had just been teleported in, and then go find the person who has the sword gate.
They had discussed this matter, and they couldn't hide it from the sect. Others didn't know about it. Could it be that Tongjian Sect himself didn't know how many people came from his family?
The two of them can hide in, wait for the teleportation, find a way to cause chaos, and then leave during the chaos.
But then there is no chance to enter the Sixiang Formation and Liangyi Hall.
Both places are operated by the same sect.
And Li Xinru is also an unknown quantity. There are some things that cannot be hidden, so it is better to speak openly to the sect.
After all, they even prepared big gifts for their fellow students!
