Chapter 33: The Secret Realm of the White Tiger (5)
"Where is the exit of Baili Flower Sea? I don't know if I am walking in the right direction?"
At this moment, Xu Tao was thinking quietly while walking on the road.
An hour has passed since she picked the soul-condensing flower. She has been walking for such a long time, but she still hasn't seen any suspected exit.
Is she really going to get lost in this ghost place for several days, or even ten days and a half?
"Wait a minute, why does it look like it's getting dark today? Is there actually day and night in the secret realm?"
Xu Tao looked at the sky with some surprise. The sky was gradually getting dark. I believed that night would fall soon.
Xu Tao looked at the sky that was gradually getting dark and decided not to leave yet. She let go of the cave and went in.
No matter, let’s talk after some sleep. This is only the first day anyway, and there will still be a long time to come...
"It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest for the night and start again tomorrow." Chen Yu and Zhu Yuqing also noticed the changes in the sky.
The night in the secret realm is quite dangerous. There are many dangerous spiritual beasts that are active only at night. Night is a paradise for predators.
For several days, the group of people traveled during the day and found a place to hide and rest at night, but did not encounter any danger.
It wasn't until the fifth day that the group finally arrived at their destination.
"This is it. As long as we go down from this cave, we can find the place where the chalcedony is!" After several days of traveling, everyone who finally arrived at the destination looked extremely excited.
At the same time, Xu Tao happened to be on his way nearby.
Xu Tao was just rushing along normally, unlike Zhu Yuqing and others who were rushing along slowly.
Although Xu Tao set off earlier than Zhu Yuqing and others, her speed was not very fast, and it was not surprising that she was caught up.
After a few days of traveling aimlessly, Xu Tao has completely laid down. Feel free to do whatever you want. If you get lost, just get lost. At worst, she will just think that she is out to travel!
A few minutes later
"Ah! Why is there a hole here!"
Xu Tao's figure disappeared into a hidden cave entrance accompanied by screams.
She fell all the way down the hole, and she didn't know how long she had been falling. It wasn't until she fell to the ground with a thud that she finally felt the feeling of being down to earth again.
"Ah, you ate a mouthful of mud from me!" Xu Tao spat out the mud in his mouth in a panic, and then used a dust-clearing technique to clean away the dust and dirt on his body, and then he felt better.
"What the hell is this place?" She took out a night-light bead for lighting and began to look around.
The luminous pearl in Xu Tao's hand is anything but ordinary. It was brought back from the South China Sea by Xu Tao's father, Xu Wuya.
The original owner of the Luminous Pearl was a thousand-year-old clam demon, and this luminous pearl was actually the demon elixir of the clam demon.
The clam demon's demon elixir can not only illuminate at night, but can also be kept away from water when worn on the body, allowing it to breathe freely even in the water.
If this demonic elixir is obtained by a monk with water spiritual roots, as long as he carries this demonic elixir with him, the spiritual energy running speed can be increased by 20% when practicing water-based spells.
After Xu Wuya killed the clam demon, he saw the clam demon's elixir and thought his daughter might like it, so he gave the elixir to his daughter as a toy.
Over the years, this demon pill has been in Xu Tao's hands, and it is really just a luminous pearl for lighting, with no other uses.
Under the light of the night pearl, Xu Tao finally saw clearly the scene in the cave.
This is actually an underground passage that leads to nowhere, and it is not known whether this underground passage was man-made or formed naturally.
After looking around, Xu Tao looked up at the entrance of the cave.
The hole she fell into was very deep. With her strength, it was impossible to get out of the hole.
Since he couldn't go back from the original route, Xu Tao had no choice but to continue walking along this passage, in case he found the exit while walking.
Xu Tao kept walking along the road in front of her. She didn't know how long she walked until she reached an underground cave.
Many jade bamboo shoots grow on the top of the cave, and the jade bamboo shoots emit a faint silver light in the cave.
"This can't be chalcedony!" Xu Tao found a small puddle under the largest jade bamboo shoot. There were about ten drops of chalcedony lying in the small puddle.
Although Xu Tao's cultivation level is low, she has a lot of knowledge thanks to her father who is in the tribulation stage.
It's not like Xu Tao has never taken chalcedony before, but even if her father is a monk in the Tribulation Stage, the amount of chalcedony he can get is very limited.
It is simply impossible to change her qualifications with that little chalcedony.
Now there are ten drops here. If she drinks all these chalcedony, will her qualifications become better?
Xu Tao looked at the chalcedony in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a bit of expectation in her heart.
Xu Tao had taken three drops of chalcedony before thanks to her father, but three drops was still too little for her.
Only more chalcedony can change her qualifications slightly.
Xu Tao's aptitude was not inherently bad. When her mother was pregnant with her, she was accidentally plotted by her enemy and was poisoned.
Although the poison was finally resolved, Xu Tao's qualifications plummeted due to the damage caused to her mother's body.
Her spiritual roots were damaged by toxins, and every time she absorbed spiritual power, nothing was left.
This also led to the fact that although Xu Tao obviously had dual spiritual roots of metal and earth, his cultivation speed was far inferior to those of monks with three or even four spiritual roots.
Her current cultivation speed is probably about the same as the five-system miscellaneous spiritual roots, or even inferior to the five-system miscellaneous spiritual roots.
If she hadn't been born well, she would have such a strong father to protect her, and a steady supply of various resources.
According to her cultivation speed, it is doubtful whether she can break through the foundation building in this life.
Now that the spiritual object that can change her qualifications is right in front of her, Xu Tao certainly doesn't want to miss it.
She picked up the jade bottle and began to collect the chalcedony.
"Stop!" Just as Xu Tao was collecting chalcedony, an angry shout interrupted her movements.
"Who?" Xu Tao frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
"We discovered these chalcedony first, you can't touch it!" Qiao Luluo ran out first, staring at Xu Tao with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"You discovered it first? Then why did you show up after me? Just tell me if you want to rob me. What excuses are there for you?" Xu Tao chuckled twice.
"Who is making excuses? We were the ones who discovered this first! Our Wanfa Immortal Sect discovered this place three hundred years ago!" Qiao Luluo immediately retorted.
"Okay, even if you discovered it first, so what?
If whoever discovers it first belongs to whom, then the person who discovers the White Tiger Secret Realm first will own the whole White Tiger Secret Realm now!"
Xu Tao made a sound and said nonchalantly.
The rules in the secret realm are never about first-come, first-served. Who gets the treasure in the end depends entirely on one's ability.
Even if someone discovers a heaven-defying opportunity in a secret realm, if that person doesn't have the ability to hold on to the opportunity he gets, then everything will be in vain.
