Chapter 595: Top-Grade Spiritual Stones, Joint Treasure Hunt
Yu Lie looked at the ancient monument, and suddenly a lot of fantasies came to his mind.
"According to Hei Shuizi, this place is the ruins of the Heavenly Court. Then this pavilion may be used by the Heavenly Court in ancient times to recruit immortals?"
In today's Shanhai Realm, only the fourth-grade Taoist priests who have cultivated the primordial spirit or whose bodies are immortal can be called immortals.
But it was not the case in ancient times. Each period had its own name, and the levels of immortals were also different. In the eyes of mortals, Taoist priests who could fly off the ground were already immortals.
Therefore, although the "ascension platform" was used by the Heavenly Court in ancient times to recruit "immortals", the immortals at that time were most likely people who were on the verge of refining the Gang and ascended to the Heavenly Court to pick the Gang Qi in order to further their cultivation.
In the Ascension Platform, Yu Lie's spiritual consciousness penetrated his body and looked at the ancient stele several times. After not finding any other clues, he walked forward, waved his hand, and took off the spiritual dew left on the ancient stele.
Yu Lie immediately refined a drop of spiritual dew, took it into his body, and felt the taste of ancient spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a touch of joy appeared on his face again.
He was surprised and said: "This level of spiritual energy, top grade?!"
Spiritual stones are divided into five grades: inferior, inferior, medium, superior, and top grade. The spiritual energy is roughly the same, and corresponds to Taoists of corresponding realms in turn.
Foundation-building Taoists like Yu Lie can only use medium-grade spiritual stones for daily cultivation. And low-grade spiritual stones can at most replenish his mana, and cannot make their cultivation improve by half an inch.
As for the top-grade spiritual stones, they are used by fifth-grade Taoist masters. They are forbidden to be circulated to sixth-grade Taoists in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they will not easily fall into the hands of Taoists in the Disaster Realm.
As for the top-grade spiritual stones, they are used by the immortals.
Yu Lie had been shocked by the rich spiritual environment in the secret realm of Huoxing City. As a result, the few drops of spiritual dew he picked up casually on the roadside contained high-grade spiritual energy.
In an instant, his eyes became hot.
"No wonder the Taoists in the chaotic domain, and even some Taoist masters, would rather cut their heads and cut themselves to step into this place! If I have enough high-grade spiritual energy to help, it is possible to form a pill on the spot in this secret realm!"
After a moment of joy, Yu Lie set his second plan to enter the secret realm, which is to collect high-grade spiritual energy as much as possible.
Yu Lie sorted out his mood and searched the ascension platform where he was, without leaving a drop of spiritual dew.
He walked out of the ascension platform, and a desolate and huge scene appeared in his eyes.
There were bursts of thick tornadoes, and Chen Heng was outside the ascension platform, which was a strong gust of wind.
In addition, the endless ruins of buildings filled his vision, and they piled up to the sky layer by layer, covered by dark clouds.
This is the ruins of the collapsed heaven!
Yu Lie stood on the ascension platform, in such a huge ruin, and suddenly felt like a small ant.
"Is this a corner of the ancient heaven?"
He murmured in his mouth, his eyes were even more excited.
Such a large area, such a shocking ancient legacy, there must be a lot of treasures in it!
Yu Lie only needs to scrape a little bit of the ancient spiritual soil and soil, and it is estimated that his purple mansion will change its appearance again.
After looking around, he also glanced down at his feet and found that there were layers of building ruins under the ascension platform, which were more scattered, and the overall area and size were not as good as those above his head.
This made Yu Lie realize that the ruins of the heaven here were in the shape of an inverted cone, with a small bottom and a larger area as it went up.
Because Yu Lie chose a larger fighting altar when he came in, he landed on a slightly higher level.
After thinking for a while, Yu Lie completely retracted his gaze from looking down and looked up at his head.
Obviously, if there are benefits in the secret realm, more and bigger ones must be on the upper level.
Yu Lie immediately used his true energy, and the clouds and mist rose under his feet, supporting him to climb up.
However, after leaving the ascension platform, he suddenly turned around and waved at the pavilion area of dozens of feet behind him, intending to open the Purple Mansion portal and directly collect this ascension platform ruins into the Purple Mansion.
It should be noted that although it is damaged, it is at least a fragment of the Immortal Qin Heavenly Court. If it is collected in the Purple Mansion, it may be possible to extract more spiritual energy from it. Even if it cannot be, it can be placed in the Purple Mansion as a historical ornament.
But unfortunately, Yu Lie used his true energy to open only a small hole, and he felt exhausted. When the hole was less than ten feet in size, a mountain-sea-like pressure suddenly hit him, making his face pale.
After struggling for a few breaths, Yu Lie exhaled and wisely chose to give up.
"Sure enough, this place has a certain suppression on the Purple Mansion and even the storage magic tools. No wonder I felt a little pressure from the Huoxing City as soon as I came in."
He looked at the ascension platform with regret.
The Purple Mansion could not be opened, and his idea of filling the Purple Mansion and emptying the Heavenly Palace was shattered.
However, Yu Lie had expected it in his heart. After a moment of regret, he cheered up and flew towards the nearest ruins above his head.
Whoosh!
His figure flickered. Not long after he left the ascending platform, he found that although there was no tornado between the ruins, there were strong winds, and the wind was mixed with Gangsha. If it were in the outside world, an ordinary Taoist priest would be seriously injured.
Fortunately, Yu Lie's evil spirit was now perfect, and the protective aura around his body was enough to completely block the wind and not hurt himself.
However, in this way, he seemed to fall into a quagmire. The distance that could be crossed in the blink of an eye became a little far. He had to move slowly like an old man, which would take at least one or two quarters of an hour.
In addition, Yu Lie moved clumsily for several feet in the Gangsha wind. He also found that the higher he went, the stronger the wind between the ruins.
He strongly suspected that the tornadoes wrapped around the ruins were pure Gangsha winds, which only Taoist priests who practiced Gangsha could resist.
However, facing such a predicament, Yu Lie did not frown, but smiled.
He took out a bead from his sleeve, gently held it in his hand, and shouted a word:
"Steady!"
With a buzz, a flash of blood overflowed from Yu Lie's hand, and the strong wind within a radius of ten feet stopped abruptly and detoured away.
This bead was the Dingfeng Bead that Yu Lie obtained in the Wuzhen Tomb.
With this thing in hand, he did not need to practice Gang cultivation, nor did he need to rely on the protection of Taoists who practiced Gang or above, and he could step into the Gangfeng layer alone to pick Gangqi.
Gangqi is everywhere in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, but this place is also the place where this thing can show its power!
Yu Lie praised: "Not bad, not bad, it's worth it that I took the risk to get you. In this place, your value can be equivalent to a magic weapon."
The Dingfeng Bead consumes its own foundation to capture the Gangsha, and does not consume Yu Lie's true energy.
Moreover, the Gang Qi and Sha Qi it can fix include thousands of Gang Qi and Sha Qi in the world. It can be said that all breath, wind and rain can be restrained by it.
In contrast, some Taoists who practice Gang Qi can walk in the Gang Feng, but they need to consume their own true Qi to maintain it. If they encounter a strong Gang Qi and Sha Qi that is stronger than their Gang Qi, they still have to retreat.
Yu Lie doesn't have to do that at all.
After he took out the Dingfengzhu, he thought about it, and took out a snow-white object from his sleeve, hung the opponent's tail on his belt, and fastened it.
There was only a sound of whimpering.
The treasure-hunting bamboo rat jumped out. It was sleepy and lazy, but after receiving Yu Lie's instructions and tasting a drop of top-grade ancient spirit dew, it immediately became energetic, fluttered around Yu Lie's waist, and began to find the way to the treasure.
Yu Lie looked at its excited and stupid appearance, laughed a little, and then held the Wind-Fixing Bead in one hand and the Rat in the other.
With the help of the two objects, Yu Lie's exploration in the secret realm was not only free, but also fruitful in just one day.
After just wandering around five small ruins, Yu Lie's hand was filled with a gourd of spiritual dew.
The spiritual energy contained in it, if converted into spiritual stones, would be close to a hundred pieces. And if converted into medium-grade spiritual stones, the value would be more than 100,000, and it is priceless!
When Yu Lie thought that his smooth treasure hunting process would continue for several more days before he encountered particularly rare objects and other Taoists.
Only half a day later, the treasure-hunting bamboo rat on his waist suddenly squeaked and excitedly pointed to a ruin above his head.
The ruins were in the shape of a round arch. It was formed by the collapse of the dome of a palace in ancient times, and it was piled up with various brick and tile fragments. The surface looked gray and nothing special.
Yu Lie's heart moved, and he immediately changed his plan to slowly move over, crossed the ruins, and flew towards the round arch ruins.
When he flew over the round arch, the treasure-hunting bamboo rat sniffed left and right, nodded, and became more excited, and asked Yu Lie to be careful.
Because, there was someone!
Yu Lie received its warning, and immediately pinched his fingers, reset the protective aura on his body, and took out the ghost furnace from his sleeve.
It used the function of the wind-fixing bead to capture the breath and slowly approached the interior of the ruins.
But before he stepped into the ruins, a figure came out of the ruins by itself, and laughed:
"Haha, it's done!"
Yu Lie's footsteps stopped immediately, and his spiritual consciousness swept the other party.
As soon as the man rushed out, he saw Yu Lie who almost blocked him, and his body froze in mid-air, and his laughter stopped.
The atmosphere between the two was cold, and they were ready to fight at any time.
But soon, a strange look appeared in the eyes of both sides, and they shouted:
"Kui Mulang?", "Yu Lie?!"
The figure that emerged from the arch ruins, with a wolf face and a human body, was Kuimulang.
He held a pile of stones in his hands, and the spiritual energy on them was purer than the spiritual dew that Yu Lie had collected with great effort. They were genuine high-quality spiritual stones!
Kuimulang looked at Yu Lie in surprise, and there was a crackling sound from the passage on his body. A cloud of dust swept over him, making him look a little dusty.
The entire huge arch ruins also made a wailing sound, breaking inch by inch, and a major collapse occurred inside.
Obviously, Yu Lie arrived a step too late, and the benefits of this place have already been taken by Kuimu Lang, and the other party seems to have suffered a bit in there, and consumed a lot of mana.
Yu Lie narrowed his eyes and looked at the collapsed ruins, and then set his eyes on Kuimu Lang.
He stared at the top-grade spirit stone in the other person's hand and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Kuimu, long time no see."
Kui Mulang laughed dryly, trying to cover the spirit stone in his hand, and replied:
"Yes, long time no see... I wish you good fortune!"
After the last sentence, Kuimulang turned around and ran in one direction, trying to avoid Yu Lie and escape.
……………………
Several hours later.
Kui Mulang stood beside Yu Lie with a more dusty face. His face was full of pain. He shook out one top-grade spirit stone after another from his sleeves, and kept shouting:
"That's all! I said I'd give you half, and I've already given you 70%."
Until he took out 128 top-grade spirit stones in one breath, no matter how Yu Lie threatened and lured him, he refused to take out half a piece and swore.
Facing this beast in despair, Yu Lie put away the 128 spiritual stones and said with satisfaction:
"This spiritual stone is your compensation to the people in Qian County for destroying the city. I will accept it for the people of Qian County first."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, it made Kuimulang's teeth ache even more. He muttered:
"This many spiritual stones are enough to rebuild a county city."
Yu Lie seemed not to hear it. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Brother Mu, you just said that the secret realm nearby is familiar to you and you know a few treasure locations? Then, lead the way quickly!"
It turned out that Kuimulang had been preparing for the trip to the secret realm of Huoxing City ten years ago. Because he belonged to the Dao Court, thanks to the blessing of the magical son, he also knew a lot of secrets and knew the "treasure" locations in the secret realm in advance.
Even if this guy's cultivation had not yet broken through the refining Gang, he would only be perfect in the condensing evil. Just now, he was unlucky to be blocked by a gust of Gangfeng.
Given the level of understanding of this beast, he would most likely be able to slip away from Yu Lie's hands.
In order to save his life, after being caught up, Kuimulang not only distributed the spiritual stones in his hand, but also promised to take Yu Lie to hunt for treasure nearby.
Yu Lie had the protection of the Taoist soldiers and the guardian generals in his hands, so he was not afraid of this guy's cheating. Because he had been sensible twice, he did not do anything with him. He planned to join forces with this guy and use him as a guide.
Hearing Yu Lie's urging, the pain on Kuimulang's face eased a little. He immediately showed excitement and looked at the wind-fixing beads in Yu Lie's hand.
This beast said: "Okay, okay! Brother Yu, join hands with me today, and we will go and do a big deal. If possible, we can even collect enough food for the elixir in one go."
The two turned around and rushed towards a huge palace that was falling apart in the heavy tornado. There was a spiritual light on it that had not faded. After thousands of years, it was still like a bright moon...
