"If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you so cruel!"
Seeing Ye Xiao's back as he went deep into the cave, Qu Wuyan could only helplessly sigh, and followed him angrily.
The cave was not too deep. Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan saw the light not long after walking, and at the same time, a deep valley appeared in front of them.
In the deep valley, the ground is covered with colorful crystal stones. Standing on the edge and looking at them, they look like clusters of blooming flowers, which are doubly beautiful.
Among the crystal stones, there are five places that are quite conspicuous. There are no crystal stones growing in these five places. Instead, each of these five places has a small sparkling lake with a radius of 100 feet.
The five lakes are similar in size and shape, and the water surface is all rippling with bright spiritual light, and one lake is the most dazzling among them.
Unlike the other four calm lakes, the water in this lake boiled, and fist-sized bubbles overflowed, then burst and released clouds of white smoke.
Looking at the source of the rising bubbles, we can see that the bottom of the lake is fiery red, twisting violently with the sloshing water, like a layer of extremely hot magma.
At the same time, around the boiling lake, there were three figures looking at each other, wary of each other, breathing heavily as their chests rose and fell, either because of the steaming heat from the lake or because the three of them had fought before.
There were big beads of sweat on his head.
There are three people, two men and one woman. The man has beautiful features, handsome appearance, vigorous appearance, and majestic spirit; the woman has willowy eyebrows and dark eyes, a face as delicate as a flower, and is shy and ready to show off.
And when they saw the three people for the first time, Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan could tell at a glance that these three people were definitely not from the ethereal world, because they all had tokens hanging on their waists.
The tokens are similar to the access tokens carried by Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan. They also have a ray of World Tree breath coming out, but the breath of World Tree on the tokens of the three people is different from that of Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan.
The tokens on their bodies are different, as if they do not come from the same World Tree.
Therefore, Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan were also sure that these three people were definitely not from the ethereal world.
As for why the three people appeared here, Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan could only roughly guess that they were all doing it for the boiling lake next to them, because during the confrontation, the three of them would look at the lake from time to time with their peripheral vision.
Deep down, there is obviously something they want under the lake.
"Qu Wuyan, do you know where this place is?"
The three people beside the lake did not move for the time being, and Ye Xiao began to curiously ask Qu Wuyan in a low voice.
In his opinion, no matter what rare things exist under the lake, no one of these three people will be the first to get it, because no matter who enters the lake first, they will be blocked by the other two people.
Therefore, Ye Xiao simply figured out the situation here first. If a treasure really appeared, he could come up with some countermeasures and maybe get some benefits from it.
"This kind of place!" Qu Wuyan glanced at the crystal stones and five lakes, "You can feel extremely rich spiritual energy fluctuations from these crystal stones. Obviously, there is a spiritual vein deep underground here!"
"Spiritual pulse!" Ye Xiao's eyes were shining.
"Yes, any place where spiritual veins gather must be an excellent place for cultivation. It seems that the underground spiritual veins here are extremely rich and huge, otherwise these gorgeous crystal stones would not have spilled out!"
As he spoke, Qu Wuyan fixed his gaze on the five lakes.
"Since there are spiritual veins underground, then these five lakes!"
Suddenly, Qu Wuyan's expression became strange, and at the same time, a frightening light overflowed from his eyes, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Just listening to Qu Wuyan shaking his head as if talking to himself, there was a look of disbelief on his face that Ye Xiao had never seen before.
"What is impossible, you should tell me!"
Seeing Qu's faceless look, Ye Xiao also became puzzled.
Then Qu Wuyan frowned tightly, his expression became serious, and he began to speak slowly.
It took almost an hour for him to say this. When he finished speaking, Ye Xiao's face showed a strong look of surprise.
According to what Qu Wuyan said, there are spiritual veins deep underground here, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
Generally speaking, in such a treasure land, where spiritual energy gathers, it is most likely to produce astonishing heavenly treasures. These heavenly treasures come in different types.
Some are exotic flowers and plants, some are magical weapons, some are rare materials, and of course there is one, which is spiritual fire.
As for the five lakes, Qu Wuyan also gave Ye Xiao an explanation.
As the saying goes, the qi of heaven and earth are all spiritual beings. When the spirit moves, it changes yin and yang. Under yin and yang, it can transform into the five elements.
The spiritual vein is the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is a natural and pure thing. Compared with it, yin and yang are heaven and earth, and the intangible is nothing more than metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
These five things exist widely in the world and are real. However, the five elements transformed by the spiritual veins all have their sources, and this source is where the essence of the spiritual veins lies.
Take the five lakes in front of you as an example. They are the five elements transformed by underground spiritual veins, so in each of these lakes, there will inevitably be condensed natural treasures.
At the same time, for such places, practitioners are accustomed to collectively refer to the spiritual vein and the five lakes derived from it as the Five Lakes Spiritual Source.
And theoretically, treasures will be born in the five lakes, but the time when they are born is not necessarily at the same time. Sometimes there is only one treasure in the lake, sometimes two or even three or four. The best situation is
Treasures appear in five lakes at the same time.
Generally speaking, the number of treasures produced is closely related to the order in which the five lakes were formed and the amount of underground spiritual veins stored.
Sometimes, the five lakes do not appear at the same time, but the storage capacity of the underground spiritual veins is huge and rich. In this way, with the nourishment of the huge spiritual energy, the five lakes may produce treasures at the same time.
If the reserve energy of the spiritual veins is not enough to allow five lakes to condense treasures at the same time, then all the spiritual energy will be supplied to the lake most likely to produce treasures.
With such a one-to-one supply, after the treasures are condensed and produced, their power and preciousness are often much higher than if the treasures were generated by five lakes at the same time.
It's just that everything depends on chance, and the same is true for the Five Lakes Spirits originating from cultivators.
Some cultivators spend their whole lives and use various means to find treasures like the Five Lakes Spiritual Source. However, after going through countless hardships, they find nothing in the end.
However, some cultivators have no intention of looking for a treasured place like the Five Lakes Spiritual Source, but they encounter it by chance. The implications cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Just like Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan at this time, if they had not seen the entrance behind the remains of the ancient god, they would never have discovered the treasure of Wuhu Lingyuan.
Going forward, if the two of them hadn't discovered the corpse of the giant pig by smelling the smell, Ye Xiao would have kicked Qu Wuyan to attract the attention of Meng Ji Beast, and was chased by Meng Ji Beast, Qu Wuyan would not have discovered the ancient corpse in the valley.
God's remains.
Therefore, the key to things like chance is that they are interconnected and indispensable. If the putrid smell from the giant pig's corpse is just the introduction, then Ye Xiao's kick towards Qu Wuyan also becomes the key.
It was precisely because of his kick that the remains of the ancient god were kicked out, and at the same time, the two of them accidentally discovered the source of the Five Lakes.
"The five lakes spiritual source in front of me can only be found in the lakes that those three people care about. The treasures that are about to be born exist!"
After listening to Qu Wuyan's explanation, Ye Xiao looked at the three people next to the boiling lake again.
At present, except for the lake in front of the three people, the water surfaces of the other four lakes are calm and waveless.
Even so, it cannot be concluded that there are no treasures found in other lakes, but from another perspective, if I have treasures in other lakes, then the three of them don't need to circle around a lake.
So after several rounds of analysis, Ye Xiao came to the conclusion he just made.
"I think these people seem to be a bit hard to mess with. How about we go ahead and wait for them to take away the treasures? Then we can come back and get some crystal stones!"
Qu Wuyan whispered in Ye Xiao's ear.
Along the way, Ye Xiao also noticed that although Qu Wuyan had the cultivation level of the Soul Realm, he was indeed very timid, which surprised him.
It stands to reason that a grown man must stand upright and show some heroic spirit in everything he does, so that he can show his true demeanor.
This song is shameless but a good one. A timid person is always worried about his life. How can such a coward achieve great things?
"Look at your potential!" After sighing, Ye Xiao glanced at Qu Wuyan helplessly, "If you want a spiritual stone, can I give you the spiritual crystal directly? Although this crystal stone is rich in spiritual stone, it is not pure after all.
, how much do you need to get out of here to refine a piece of spiritual crystal? You don’t even have to think about it."
"Am I not thinking about our safety?" Qu Wuyan said slightly aggrievedly.
"How dare you, what a nonsense!" Ye Xiao responded angrily again.
"Don't you know what it means to have a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind it? The three of them came to this place first and fought over the treasures under the lake. It seemed like they were spending a lot of money."
Ye Xiao analyzed the situation of the three people.
"When they can no longer stand in a stalemate, someone will definitely go to the bottom of the lake first, and the other two will definitely stop them when they see this. At that time, it will be the best time for the two of us to take advantage of the situation and enter the bottom of the lake to get the treasure.
, with their exhausted state, it will not be easy to catch up with us."
After saying that, Ye Xiao condensed for a moment and then continued.
"If we are eventually caught up by them, don't you and I still have the token with us? If it really comes to a life-threatening moment, the token will teleport you and me out, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes! How could I forget the access token?"
Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Qu Wuyan suddenly understood.
At the same time, the three people beside the lake also started to move again. One person kicked off his feet and jumped up quickly, about to plunge into the lake.
When the other two people saw this, they didn't even frown. They took action at the same time and blocked the leaping person.
