Ji Changyue rejected Zhu Haiyue's kindness, "He usually doesn't bark much, so it's okay. And I've raised him for a long time and he hasn't given me anything in return, so I can't throw him away."
Zhu Haiyue didn't understand what kind of reward a mortal cat could bring him, but he didn't insist.
But Qin Yang understood what she meant. She was trying to remind him to remember the debt he owed her.
Spiritual stones, spiritual stones, where do they come from?
Wu Chan once said that he looks good, but if he doesn't look good...
No, no, he is a principled monk and cannot sell out his appearance just because he owes a debt.
Just when Qin Yang was thinking wildly, Zhu Haiyue stopped.
A huge pit appeared in front of it, dark and bottomless. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of running water.
The surrounding vegetation is lush and there are no traces of being trampled on, so no one has probably been inside yet.
When they walked this way, they didn't necessarily have to follow Fang Ming to pick up the slack.
Zhu Haiyue took out a luminous bead and jumped down without hesitation, followed closely by the others.
I thought I was going to jump into the water, but unexpectedly I stepped on the ground.
Luminous beads illuminate the surroundings, and a natural underground cave appears in front of you.
At the top of the cave, there are countless milky white solids hanging upside down, which are beautiful under the reflection of luminous beads.
Below is a ten-foot-wide underground stream, with stone roads on both sides that can only pass one person.
"Wow——, so beautiful!"
Bai Lianlian was amazed and reached out to touch those solid objects, but Yun Meng opened them with a palm.
"If you want to die, touch it."
Bai Lianlian immediately retracted his hand and said weakly, "I won't touch it anymore."
Fu Zhengyi said: "This should be Jingtan Stone. Jingtan Stone is a kind of stone with a name that sounds ordinary, but it is very attractive to poisonous people. Therefore, it is full of poison. After contact, the spiritual power will be reduced within two days. It collapsed, the intestines were pierced and the belly rotted and he died."
Bai Lianlian trembled all over, she almost touched it, and was only one step away from death.
At this time, Fu Zhengyi smiled and said, "Although the Jing Tan Stone is poisonous, it is only poisonous on the outside. It is hollow inside and can store the spiritual liquid that has condensed over time. It is white in color and will probably crack soon. The contents inside The spiritual liquid will flow out from the gaps."
They were lucky this time, and there were no monsters in the cave. The tranquil sandalwood stone cracked, and then the spiritual fluid was collected.
Bai Lianlian was so scared that his legs were weak, but Ning Xia held him up from falling. After hearing Fu Zhengyi's explanation, he cheered up again.
Not only Bai Lianlian, but also Yun Meng, who had always said little, had expectations in his eyes.
Everyone set up camp, took out jade bottles, and were always ready to receive the spiritual liquid.
Ji Changyue raised her head and her neck almost broke. She rubbed her neck and was about to take a rest when she heard a "click".
"Coming." Zhu Haiyue reminded.
After saying this, the six people quickly found their positions and raised the jade bottle.
The rest of them have built a foundation and can fly over the dark stream with their swords. Ji Changyue cannot wield a sword and can only pick it up at a place within reach.
The crystal clear liquid dripped from the cracks in the Jingtan stone and fell into the jade bottle. There was a strong aura floating in the air, so strong that Ji Changyue felt like he would break through after taking a few more breaths.
"Crack, click, click, click." As time went on, more and more Jingtan stones cracked. The six people were in a hurry. Some of them fell into the water and dissipated before they had time to catch them.
Ning Xia's face flashed with distress, "So many, it would be a pity if they fell into the water."
Ji Changyue wanted to nod, but suddenly realized that the secret realm was not open to the public, and all the spiritual liquid that had been dripping over the years was in the water.
With so much spiritual liquid in the water, even an ordinary grass carp should become a spirit.
Yunmeng seemed to have noticed something at this time and shouted sharply, "Back off!"
With a 'crash', the undercurrent in the cave exploded, and a huge, scaly monster jumped out of the undercurrent.
Seeing the person above, he opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and was about to swallow it in one bite.
Everyone was running away, but Ji Changyue was not in the air and was not the target of the monster, so he could easily escape.
The miserable people flying above were disrupted by the sudden attack and scattered. Only those at the entrance of Yunmeng Cave, and the rest clung to the stone wall.
No one was hit, the monster sank, and the water surface became calm again.
Fu Zhengyi's face turned pale, "The bone-chilling fish demon's cultivation should be at...the ninth level."
When they came before, the fish demon might have woken up. It is nourished by spiritual fluid, so it naturally looks down on a few mediocre monks.
When they started to collect the spiritual liquid, it felt a sense of crisis and took the initiative to attack the people who were robbing it of its spiritual liquid without good reason.
"Ninth level, only one step away from turning into a human!"
Bai Lianlian exclaimed, his arm accidentally touching the stone wall.
Several stone bones rolled down and fell into the dark stream.
The water surface rippled, and the black shadow moved under the water, then sank again.
Ning Xia looked frightened and said, "Lian Lian, don't move!"
What if the monster comes out again?
The tenth level of the monster is equivalent to the Nascent Soul, and the ninth level is the late stage of the Golden Core.
No one can escape from the monster beasts in the later stages of the Golden Core if they charge up a strike.
Bai Lianlian broke into a cold sweat and nodded nervously, "I...I won't move. Senior Sister Zhu, Fellow Daoist Yun, what should we do now?"
The spiritual liquid in the Jing Tan Stone was still dripping down, and it all fell into the water. She felt distressed when she saw it.
Zhu Haiyue didn't think she could beat the late-stage Jindan monster, so she held her sword and said, "Let's go."
Yunmeng also nodded, "After we stopped receiving the spiritual liquid, the monster stopped attacking us, which means it has no intention of killing us, so the only solution for now is to leave."
Ji Changyue agreed very much.
The secret realm restricts entry to monks with Jindan or lower cultivation levels, and the monsters inside are of a level that is at most in the late Jindan stage.
The monster below is already considered to be the top in cultivation in the secret realm. If they really make a move, they will definitely be defeated.
Several people carefully and slowly retreated to the entrance of the cave.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the fish demon didn't chase them out.
After retreating, everyone collapsed on the ground.
The fish demon in the later stage of the golden elixir already has intelligence, thanks to it not arguing with them.
After resting for a while, Ningxia took out her jade bottle and said, "Fortunately, I caught seven or eight drops."
When Bai Lianlian heard this, he immediately touched his arms and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that the jade bottle was still there.
Zhu Haiyue smiled and said, "We were not injured and got a few drops of spiritual fluid, so it's not a loss."
None of them are greedy. Taking a little bit is enough to save their lives.
Ji Changyue also took five or six drops. She looked at the layer of spiritual liquid at the bottom of the bottle and put the jade bottle into a storage bag.
Zhu Haiyue saw her actions and said directly, "Drink the spiritual liquid now and adjust your breathing."
Ji Changyue paused, "Ah? Right here?"
"As long as we protect you, don't worry. Are you still worried that we will run away and leave you alone?"
Ji Changyue naturally wouldn't worry about this. If he wanted to abandon her, they wouldn't accept her in the first place.
Ningxia also said, "Hurry up and take it, maybe you can build the foundation soon!"
