Thinking of this, Gu Xiao's heart moved slightly.

"Buzz!"

He took out the Dragon Soul Sword, swung it in a circle, and then slashed towards a stone wall of the secret room.

Bang!

A huge muffled sound was heard, the stone wall suddenly exploded, and a dazzling light emerged.

"Haha, it's true."

Gu Xiao's eyes lit up and he rushed over, snatched the bright beam of light and put it in the palm of his hand.

"It is indeed a bead!"

He held the bead tightly in his hand, and a strong spiritual energy flowed into his body along the palm of his hand.

Gu Xiao's eyes flashed, and he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, doing exercises and regulating his breathing.

After a while, when he opened his eyes, his eyes were even brighter: "What a rich vitality!"

He felt a warm current flowing through his Dantian, moisturizing every inch of skin on his body.

"boom!"

On his body surface, an invisible barrier quietly condensed.

"It actually became the third level?"

Gu Xiao was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I broke through the cultivation bottleneck and reached the third level.

"roar!"

At this moment, the door to the secret room suddenly opened.

"here we go again!"

Seeing this, Gu Xiao's heart trembled.

He hurriedly hid aside and stared at the entrance of the secret room.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three black figures rushed in.

"Huh? Where are the people?"

When they saw Gu Xiao, they couldn't help but be startled.

"Is there no one here?"

"This...is this an illusion?"

One of them said suspiciously.

"No, that kid was the one who touched the formation at that time. That thing must be on him."

"It's been a long time since that thing appeared in Jubaoxuan, and it was actually found by that kid. We must find him!"

Gu Xiao felt relieved.

Fortunately, I restrained my breath in time, otherwise, I might not be able to hide it from these three people.

But what exactly are they talking about?

"Forget it, no matter what, take the treasure away quickly to avoid attracting more monsters."

The leader said that and rushed into the secret room first.

The other two followed closely behind.

After the three of them searched, their expressions were gloomy and uncertain.

"I didn't expect that there would be nothing here!"

"That brat must have run away a step ahead."

"Huh, if you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, so let's just wait and see!"

…

Gu Xiao hid in the dark and listened to all their conversations.

"Haha, I was just casually dealing with these three guys, but I didn't expect that there is really something here!"

He sneered in his heart.

Gu Xiao didn't believe the "treasure" they said.

It can allow warriors to achieve great improvement in a short period of time, and even directly cross that realm. This is definitely a heaven-defying magic medicine or holy object!

However, they said it was a "treasure", which was obviously fishy.

"Looks like we need to do some investigating."

Gu Xiao squinted his eyes and started thinking.

"Huh? They actually stayed for half a stick of incense?"

"It seems that I have to move faster."

Gu Xiao's mind was racing and he kept thinking.

And now Shen Suhua has disappeared.

He had to get out quickly and find the girl.

In an instant, the jade slip cracked, revealing the message inside.

""Secret Book of Herbs"!?"

Gu Xiao felt happy.

What was recorded in this jade slip turned out to be a set of cultivation techniques called "The Secret Book of Herbs".

"This set of secrets is inherited from a senior Alchemy King and can help me break through the realm quickly."

Gu Xiao was ecstatic: "Haha, today is such a blessing!"

"The Secret Book of Herbs" is a set of powerful medicine refining techniques, which is much more powerful than the herbal medicine techniques he has practiced.

Although this skill requires a lot of vitality support, Gu Xiao is not worried about this problem.

After all, he now owns more than ten million Yuanjing.

"After entering the ruins this time, I no longer have to worry about being unable to improve my cultivation level!"

Gu Xiao said excitedly.

"Are you Gu Xiao?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Gu Xiao, making the pores on his body stand up.

"who!"

He was horrified in his heart.

The next moment, he felt a strong sense of danger sweeping through his body.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.

He clearly felt that a fatal threat was coming towards him, as if he was in the midst of a terrible evil, which made him unable to help but feel fear.

"Is this... murderous intent?"

Gu Xiao's eyes widened.

This was indeed the first time he encountered this situation.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a ray of cold light shot out, fierce, cunning, and unparalleled speed.

Gu Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly and his body moved sideways.

Poof!

The cold light passed across his neck, cutting the hair on his forehead and leaving a faint bloodstain on his cheek.

"What a risk!"

Gu Xiao took a breath.

If he hadn't reacted sharply, I'm afraid the attack just now would have hurt his throat!

If this knife stabbed hard, he would definitely die on the spot!

"Who is attacking me? Get out of here!"

Gu Xiao shouted sharply, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He turned around and looked around, trying to find the enemy who was attacking him.
