Soon, the two of them followed the puppet to the deepest part of Yanxia Cave, where there was a stone door.
The runes engraved on it exude a faint aura, as if telling a thousand-year secret. However, there are no mechanisms or formations set up.
Pushing open the stone door, a stream of cool air came to meet me, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and the freshness of vegetation.
The light in the room is soft, as if emanating from naturally formed gemstones, illuminating every corner.
The ground is paved with an unknown stone, which feels warm and moist to the touch. When walking on it, you can feel the flow of spiritual energy under your feet.
The surrounding walls were polished from a single piece of bluestone, as smooth as a mirror, and the scrolls painted on them were even more lifelike, as if those legendary warriors would step out of the paintings at any time.
The bronze alchemy furnace in the center of the secret room is about three feet high. The furnace body is carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. The furnace lid is half open, revealing the beating flames inside.
The flame was a faint blue, sometimes turning into a dragon shape, sometimes into a phoenix shadow, as if it had its own life and will.
Various rare spiritual herbs and ores are placed beside the stove, which are essential materials for alchemy.
Near the side of the wall, there is a guqin.
The wood of the guqin is dark brown, and its surface is inlaid with several gold leaves, shining with dazzling light.
The strings are as thin as hair, but extremely tough. With a gentle stroke, the strings can emit melodious sounds. The sound of the piano echoes in the secret room, as if it can penetrate people's souls and make them forget the troubles of the world.
In addition, there are some jade slips and ancient books scattered in the secret room. These are the cultivation experiences and secrets left by the warriors.
Each ancient book exudes a faint scholarly fragrance, and the jade slips are engraved with dense runes. These are the crystallization of warriors' understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
The entire secret room is filled with a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere, as if it is a holy place of cultivation isolated from the world.
Here, warriors can calm down, understand the way of heaven and earth, and pursue the highest realm of immortality.
Finally, Ling Xiao fixed his sights on a withered skeleton.
The withered bones sat there, as if they had died peacefully.
Next to the withered bones, there are three storage rings.
These three storage rings have different colors, and they seem to store different things. Ling Xiao glanced at them with a look of surprise.
The first storage ring is golden yellow, and the contents in it are all spiritual stones. There are no low-grade spiritual stones, but all high-grade spiritual stones. Although there are only one hundred thousand, in this place in Northern Xinjiang, at least at the foot of the mountain
, the ones used are all low-grade spiritual stones.
Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one unit of medium-grade spiritual stones.
One hundred million low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one unit of high-grade spiritual stones.
One hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones means ten trillion low-grade spiritual stones. This number is too terrifying.
The second storage ring is red, and it contains elixirs. Moreover, the quality of these elixirs is really good. They are all used by warriors above the martial spirit realm. Although there are not many, the total is only
There are dozens of them, but each one is priceless.
The items in the third storage ring are all magical weapons, and they are all human-level weapons.
There are hundreds of them.
You know, Ling Xiao's hard work only promoted the Soul of the God-killing Sword and the Soul of the Bloodthirsty Sword to the low-level human level.
But these are all of the highest quality, and it seems that this strong man doesn't look down on other qualities.
These are attractive enough.
But what moved Ling Xiao the most was the heart of fire dragged in the withered hand.
It seemed to be born from the depths of lava, with blazing flames flowing on its surface, and every beat seemed to cause the surrounding air to tremble.
Inside the gemstone, it seems that there is an eternal flame burning. The flame is so pure and powerful that people dare not look directly at it.
The heat and energy emitted by the Heart of Fire caused the surrounding air to appear distorted.
It continuously injects heat energy into the secret room, filling the entire secret room with a warm atmosphere.
At the same time, the Heart of Fire is also an important energy source for the alchemy furnace. It provides a steady stream of firepower for the alchemy furnace, making the alchemy process smoother.
There are also some special runes and magic circles arranged around the Heart of Fire. They all exist to protect and stabilize the Heart of Fire.
These runes and magic circles shine in the fiery energy of the Heart of Fire, as if they are breathing together with the Heart of Fire, guarding this mysterious and powerful core together.
In fact, as long as there is a source of energy, the heart of the five elements can be continuously condensed. After use, it will take about a thousand years to condense again.
This is also the reason why Long Yun refined the Heart of Five Elements at that time and still has it now.
Ling Xiao raised his hand and made a move, and the Heart of Fire fell into his hand.
This was the most important goal of his trip, so he had to take it first.
Immediately, he put away the three storage rings.
Gu Qingyao saw it and didn't say anything. In fact, for her, getting the crystal core of the Flame Tiger King was already the biggest gain, because that was the most important reason why they entered the Fire Cloud Mountains this time.
.
"When someone comes, these things will be divided when they go out!"
Ling Xiao opened his mouth and said.
Gu Qingyao suddenly blushed. She felt that she had misunderstood Ling Xiao. In fact, she was content with Ling Xiao not giving her anything, but she always felt a little uncomfortable.
Now, she feels that she is really too small.
"Maybe they're the mercenaries we hired. They'll be fine."
Gu Qingyao said.
"Are you sure?" Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this is a secret room. Do you think those people will not be tempted when they see the situation here?"
Gu Qingyao's expression changed, and she immediately felt relieved. With Ling Xiao's strength, there was a high probability that she didn't need to be afraid of those people.
Ling Xiao waved his hand, and all the books in the secret room, including the alchemy furnace, were put away by him.
The skeleton of the senior was also collected by Ling Xiao and prepared for burial to prevent it from being destroyed by those mercenaries.
This senior put his belongings there before he died, just for future generations to use. He couldn't be unconscionable and let his senior's body be exposed in the wilderness.
Just when all this was done, people from outside had already rushed in.
They are indeed those mercenaries.
They guessed correctly.
However, the expression of the middle-aged captain at this time was completely different from before.
"Where's Zhang Ding?"
The middle-aged man asked coldly.
"Zhang Kang, I want to ask you, where did Zhang Ding go?" Gu Qingyao asked calmly with an indifferent expression.
That look didn't look like an act at all, as if he had never seen Zhang Ding before.
Zhang Kang sneered: "Well, if you haven't seen it before, you haven't seen it before. Anyway, there is no way you two can get out of here alive today."
"oh?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile: "So, you guys haven't had good intentions since you received the mission?"
"So what? The reason for keeping Gu Qingyao is mainly to let her help open the mechanism."
