Slowly going up the steps, the originally dark second floor suddenly became bright.

There is still a circular hall in front of you, with a square wooden frame covering the ceiling in a circle along the surrounding walls, with objects placed in many of the cells.

At this time, on the masonry floor in the center of the second floor, a complex patterned array was emitting milky white soft light, and little star-like light particles rose from the array, illuminating everything around it.<

/p>

Lin Xiao glanced at it briefly, ignored the magic circle, and walked to the wooden frame to check it carefully.

Obviously, the objects on the second floor are much richer than those on the first floor. There are jade bottles for storing elixirs, jade pieces shaped like turtle shells, and many jade slips stored separately, and most of them are not restricted.
p>

I picked up a few jade bottles and inspected them, and I found that almost all of the elixirs stored here were elixirs that could only be used after establishing the foundation. They were of various categories and of excellent quality.

For example, there are three types of elixirs for replenishing true energy and improving cultivation: "Lingming Dan", "Tongxuan Lianyuan Dan", and "Qingxu Dan".

Another example is the foundation-building elixir "Tian Yin Dan" that can make many Qi refining monks fight for their lives with just one pill. There are more than ten pills in a bottle.

There are more elixirs that have never been seen or heard of before, and I can’t even name them.

Looking at the bottles and jars on this wall, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel that the owner here really has a great family and a great career.

Such a large amount of alchemy stones and miscellaneous items are scattered in the alchemy palace. If it were me, I would have put them away a long time ago, for fear of making some mistakes, right?

But then I thought about it again, and I felt like I was peering into the sky.

After all, he is a master of the golden elixir. For someone with such a level of cultivation, these pill pills and sundries from the foundation stage are probably ancillary output after refining the elixir. It is a pity to eat them without any use and throw them away, just like chicken ribs. That's it.

Leave it here.

After collecting all the thoughts in his mind, Lin Xiao kept moving his hands. In just one circle, he collected more than twenty bottles of elixirs, a dozen jade slips, jade pieces, and many scattered blank jade charms and spiritual stones.

, directly incorporated into the phalanges.

Although I don't know how many times I said "offended" in my heart, but to be fair, this harvest is far more satisfying than "killing people and seizing treasures".

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao felt seven parts happy, two parts sad, and an unspeakable feeling.

I'm happy that this experience was really not in vain. With these pills, I don't know how much less effort will be spent on my cultivation in the future.

But the sadness also comes from this.

Just because pills of different grades cannot be taken indiscriminately, just like the difference in strength between Qi refining and foundation building is a world of difference, the same is reflected in the pills.

The elixir that others can use for foundation building, when placed on a Qi Refining monk, changes from a panacea to a domineering poison pill.

This is why no one in the Immortal Sect will cross the realm to take pills.

After finishing all the wooden frames, Lin Xiao came to the magic circle in the middle of the hall, looked at the slowly rising light particles, frowned slightly, and began to think secretly.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go in and give it a try, he suddenly felt his eyebrows beating wildly, and his spiritual senses felt a slight tingling sensation, which made Lin Xiao stop immediately.

It is said that people in the Immortal Sect pay most attention to this festival, and this is what is meant by the so-called "supernatural power and induction, which is beyond imagination".

What's more, this place is the hidden cave of the senior masters. It is mysterious and unpredictable. If you break in without permission, you will be in a dilemma of life and death. Wouldn't it be a suicide?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately gave up the idea of ​​walking into the magic circle to find out what was going on. He retreated to the stone steps and went down to the first floor to find other places to explore.

At this moment, a burning sensation came from the index finger of his left hand, which made Lin Xiao's heart tighten. When he looked down, he saw a trace of red mark on the belly of his finger.

"The trace talisman is passive, someone is coming..."

Lin Xiao thought in his mind, immediately stepped on the stone steps, a little bit on the wall, flew down behind the alchemy furnace, and concealed his body.

"Should we fight or flee? ... No matter what, we have to see who is coming before we decide."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao flipped his palm and took out a few bottles of commonly used elixirs from his storage bag. With a flick of his hand, he heard a few whooshing sounds, and several porcelain bottles flew over a distance of more than ten feet and landed steadily.

Within the wall square.

As soon as they prepared their tricks to attract attention, there was a series of footsteps at the door, and then two figures ducked into the Alchemy Palace.

"Two people, but there is some trouble..."

Lin Xiao, who was hiding behind the alchemy furnace, knew that the fight was impossible. Just as he was thinking about how to escape, another stinging pain on his index finger made him startled at first, and then he frowned. "Are you coming?"

On the other side, the two figures who broke into the Alchemy Palace stopped for a moment before hearing one of the men holding a knife speak in a deep voice.

"Brother, this Alchemy Palace seems to have been swept away!"

The other man was bare-handed and didn't hold any weapons. He looked towards the bottles of pills in the square grid.

"Maybe that's the case, let's take a look first and then talk."

Before the two of them could make any move, they heard a voice coming from behind the alchemy furnace.

"Wait, wait!"

The two of them were suddenly startled when they heard the sound. Among them, the man holding the knife looked at the alchemy furnace and shouted loudly. "Who is this person? Get out of here!"

"Come out right away, come out right away!"

Listening to the other party's question, Lin Xiao quickly raised his hands and appeared from behind the alchemy furnace.

Seeing that the other party actually came out, the two people looked at each other and were surprised. At the same time, they seemed to immediately understand why the young man in front of them acted like this.

The man who was called the eldest brother raised the corner of his mouth, looked Lin Xiao up and down, and said with a chuckle: "Everyone really comes to join in the fun of this formation, even a low-ranking third-level Qi refining person dares to break in and fish in troubled waters.

Treasure hunt? Hahaha..."

The man holding the knife frowned. "What nonsense are you talking to him about? After I wipe him out, quickly search this place!"

But before he could make a move, he saw Lin Xiao's expression change and his blood drained away. He quickly took out a storage bag from his sleeve and held it in his palm.

"Don't do anything! I have just searched this Dan Palace, and all the harvest tools are in the bag. I just want to discuss it. Can we talk about it?"

"Talk?!" The elder brother was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha... I have been walking in the immortal sect for decades, but this is the first time I encountered someone who was blocked at the gate of Jinshan, but he held up a storage bag and asked for it.

Talk about it!"

The person next to him also spat directly after hearing this, his face full of disdain.

After hearing the elder brother laugh, he looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, "Tell me, how do you want to talk?"

"But, it's also simple..."

When Lin Xiao said this, he suddenly looked behind the two of them, his expression changed, he stepped on the alchemy furnace, jumped up, stretched out his hand and breathed out the true energy, sucked the few alchemy bottles into his palm, and then stuffed them into the storage bag.

, looking at the big brother who was taking the lead, he threw him away and said something urgently.

"There is someone behind you, brother, be careful! Take the elixir and leave first, I will break up the rear!"

"Ah?"

The sudden change suddenly occurred, and before the two people could react, the sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind them.

"Zheng——!"

The second brother reacted very quickly. He swiped the long sword in his hand to block the cold light. He turned around and looked again. Sure enough, he saw three young people wearing the same dark blue clothes. They had already spread their long swords and were approaching!

"How dare you make a sneak attack!" the man with the knife shouted.

The elder brother took Lin Xiao's storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. He felt that there were a lot of pill bottles and spiritual stones in it. He didn't take a closer look. He flipped his hand and unleashed a round of true energy, forcing the three people on the opposite side to retreat.

Stay with your companions and jump out of the door.

"Let's go!"

As soon as they finished speaking, these two people had already flown out of the Alchemy Palace!

I heard that one of the three young men who came after him threw away his sword, said something, and then rushed out.

"Second Junior Brother, stay and kill this kid, clear the head and tail. Third Junior Brother, follow me!"

"As you command!"

The two said in unison, one turned around and rushed out, the other jumped up to the alchemy furnace and said coldly.

"Quickly lead to death!"

After saying this, the long sword shook, and the sword shot out fiercely.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye. By this time, Lin Xiao had just landed on the alchemy furnace!

Seeing that the opponent's killing move was about to arrive, Lin Xiao shattered a jade talisman and pointed his sword in front of him. "Qingfeng Yin!"

In an instant, the strong wind suddenly rose, causing the swords to deviate from their direction. They flew past Lin Xiao at high speed and hit the wall of the Dan Palace with several thuds, leaving no trace of the sword marks.

The young man obviously didn't expect that the boy in front of him, who was in the early stage of Qi refining, could actually force the sword force away, and he was stunned.

In this fleeting moment, Lin Xiao turned his fingers into palms and pushed the opponent fiercely. "Broken!"

"Boom——!"

A round of majestic energy hit the young man and knocked him out of the alchemy furnace. Then Lin Xiao shook his hand and used several more "wind-inducing knives" to press directly towards the opponent.

Because of his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, the young man took a move, and immediately his heart became angry. He twisted his body in mid-air, stepped on the wall to release his strength, and shook out a ball of sword flowers from the long sword in his hand, directly slashing away the wind blades.

Into a broken piece of wind.

Turning around to look, I saw a figure flying out of the Alchemy Palace!

Outside the door of the Alchemy Palace, as soon as Lin Xiao landed, he vaguely saw four figures chasing each other as they rose and fell, flying deep to the north of the Immortal Mansion.

With a flash of thought in my mind, I kept my feet down, jumped up again, and flew towards the stone cliff behind the Dan Palace!

Lin Xiao knew clearly in his heart that if he served two groups of guests with a table of fake dishes, he would have to leave the place as soon as possible.

As for the so-called "second junior brother" just now, he didn't want to kill him on the spot. On the one hand, he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so he couldn't kill him on his own initiative.

On the other hand, since there is no quick solution, we can no longer entangle, because whether someone else comes or someone from the previous two groups returns, it will not be good.

As for why we chose this escape route, it is simple.

When it comes to running for your life, of course you have to choose a place with few people. If you don’t go to the edge of the fairy mansion, do you want to go to the center? Not to mention how many outsiders are fighting for food there, it is the weird and unpredictable fairyland.

The grand formation of the mansion is enough for a person to drink a pot.

Behind the Dan Hall, there is a stone cliff five or six feet high, with rough edges and intertwined canines.

Lin Xiao, who was flying forward, exerted force on his feet, stepped on the protruding rocks, and rushed upwards. After several ups and downs, he jumped and flew to the top.

Looking around, I saw a sea of ​​green bamboo in front of me. Among the lush greenery, a large barrier dozens of feet away was vaguely visible in the sky.

At this moment, there was a roar from below the stone cliff.

"Where can the little thief run away!"

It turned out that the young man in blue had turned out of the Alchemy Palace and saw Lin Xiao on the stone cliff.

Frowning slightly, Lin Xiao didn't stop. He turned around and rushed into the bamboo forest, running towards the south. Since I'm chasing you, I'll play with you. I'll take advantage of the heights first and take a look at each step.<

/p>

When the young man saw Lin Xiao flashing away on the edge of the cliff, his eyes immediately burst into flames, and he flew up with a long sword in his hand. He jumped up the cliff, bit the figure, and followed him into the bamboo forest.
p>

The bright white skylight passed through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, casting a mottled shadow. In the sea of ​​bamboo, two figures, one behind the other, ran at high speed along the light curtain at the edge of the formation.

Looking at the figure in front of him that was getting slower and slower, the young man raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "What's the point of running with such training?" He immediately exerted force with his feet and went a little faster.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao suddenly jumped up and looked at a thick green bamboo. He jumped hard and stepped on it with his whole weight, making it creak.

When the green bamboo bent to the extreme, there was a buzzing sound, and a figure pointed his sword forward. As fast as lightning, it picked up the bamboo leaves in the forest, like pieces of flying swords wrapped around the body, towards the oncoming young man.

Kill him with one blow!

The young man didn't expect that the opponent would attack like this. He was immediately startled, unfolded his sword skills, twisted his feet, and tried to dodge sideways.

The next moment, a series of clashing sounds of gold and iron erupted between two figures passing each other. In an instant, bamboo branches shattered, green leaves flew, and the buzzing of long swords could be heard. Within a radius of three feet, more than ten swords were heard.

The green bamboo was cut off instantly.

Among the greenery falling all over the sky, Lin Xiao stopped and suddenly grabbed a bamboo stick that fell in the air. With a shake of his hand, the bamboo leaves on it flew away. He turned around and flipped his wrist while flying back, using the bamboo as a sword.

, swept up three or five stones on the ground, and attacked with a backhand!

I saw a few pebbles carrying a few traces of dust in the air, and they couldn't be beaten out any faster.

The young man's skills were also superb. After chopping countless bamboo leaves, he struck with his long sword and flew away stones in an instant.

When the two looked at each other again, there was a distance of two or three feet between them. One stood tall and the other danced his sword.

"This reflexive sneak attack, this wooden jade talisman, using bamboo as a sword, I really underestimated you..."

The young man looked at Lin Xiao and spoke slowly, but the long sword in his hand moved slower and slower. But for some reason, many bamboo leaves were pulled by his sword skills, turning up and down with the sword, which looked weird.

Very.

"But I have to tell you two mistakes..."

"First, you shouldn't be on the same page with me in this bamboo sea; second, you shouldn't let me finish using this sword technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the long sword in the young man's hand shaking, a "zheng" sound was heard, and the tip of the sword stabbed Lin Xiao in the distance. Dozens of bamboo leaves turned around at the same time, and shot out with a strong wind and lightning! <

/p>

"I'll let you meet my Yuzhu Academy, the master of Shanmen!"

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, he flew back, raised his hand to shatter two jade talismans, drew a circle in front of him, and a ball of orange-red flames exploded. While blocking the bamboo leaves, he swung towards the center of the flames, and a long line of blazing fire burst out.

The whip came out without a trace!

"Boom——!"

The two strands of true energy collided together and exploded into a sea of ​​wind and fire!

Just when the two were about to fight again, a terrifying sound of breaking wind came quickly.

The two men stopped moving their hands, looking confused, and turned around to look at the same time. They saw a streak of dark gold flowing through the thick bamboo sea, with a harsh roar, and a "bang" sound, hitting the ground five or seven feet away from the two of them.

On the ground, a piece of mud and bamboo leaves stirred up.

Looking carefully, I found that the object falling from the sky was actually an armored bronze statue about one foot tall with two swords on its waist!

Seeing such a strange scene in front of them, the two people present were startled - what is this? Where did it come from? How did it get here?

Just as the two people were looking at each other with confusion, the "bronze statue" suddenly made a muffled "click" sound, as if it came to life. The whole body shook violently, dust fell, and its eyes seemed to open.

, lit up two balls of blue light!

Immediately following the sound of "clang", the two long knives at the waist were unsheathed at the same time, held in their hands, and coldly stared at the two people in front of them.

"This, this is..."
Chapter completed!
