Chapter 595: Top-grade Spiritual Stones Join Forces to Hunt for Treasures

Chapter 595: Top-grade Spiritual Stones Join Forces to Hunt for Treasures

Yu Lie looked at the ancient stele, and many fantasies suddenly arose in his mind.

"According to Heishuizi, this place is the ruins of the Heavenly Palace. So this pavilion might be the one used by the Heavenly Palace in ancient times to recruit immortals?"

In today's world of mountains and seas, only a fourth-grade Taoist who has cultivated his primordial spirit or whose body is immortal can be given the title of immortal.

But it was not the case in ancient times. Each period had its own name, and the levels of immortals were also different. And in the eyes of mortals, a Taoist who could fly into the air was already considered an immortal.

Therefore, although the "ascension platform" was used by the heavenly court in ancient times to recruit "immortals", the immortals at that time were most likely on the verge of refining the inner energy, and they ascended to the heavenly court to pick the inner energy in order to further their cultivation.

On the ascension platform, Yu Lie's spiritual consciousness penetrated his body and looked at the ancient stele several times. After finding no other clues, he walked forward, stretched out his hand, and took off the spiritual dew remaining on the ancient stele.

Yu Lie immediately refined a drop of spiritual dew, took it into his body, and felt the taste of ancient spiritual energy.

Suddenly, a hint of joy appeared on his face again.

He was pleasantly surprised and said, "This level of spiritual energy, top quality?!"

Spirit stones are divided into five grades: inferior, low, medium, high and top grades. The same is true for spiritual energy, and they correspond to Taoists of corresponding realms.

Taoists like Yu Lie who are in the foundation stage can only use medium-grade spirit stones for daily cultivation. Low-grade spirit stones can only replenish their mana at most, but cannot improve their cultivation by even a little bit.

As for the top-grade spirit stones, they are used by fifth-grade Taoist priests. They are forbidden to be circulated to sixth-grade Taoist priests in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and will not easily fall into the hands of Taoist priests in the Disaster Realm.

As for the top-grade spirit stones, they are circulated among the immortals.

Yu Lie had originally been shocked by the rich spiritual environment in the secret realm of Huoxing City. It turned out that the few drops of spiritual dew he picked casually on the roadside contained top-grade spiritual energy.

In an instant, his eyes became hot.

"No wonder the Taoists and even some Taoist masters in the Chaos Realm would rather sharpen their heads and cut themselves off than step into this place! If I had enough high-quality spiritual energy to help me, it would be possible for me to form a pill on the spot in this secret realm!"

After a moment of joy, Yu Lie made his second plan for entering the secret realm, which was to collect as much high-quality spiritual energy as possible.

Yu Lie calmed down and searched the ascension platform thoroughly, leaving not a single drop of spiritual dew behind.

He walked out of the ascension platform, and a vast and desolate scene appeared in his eyes.

There were thick tornadoes, and Chen Heng was outside the ascension platform, and what they saw were strong gusts of strong wind.

In addition, the endless stretches of building debris filled his vision, and piled up layer by layer to the sky, obscured by dark clouds.

This is the ruins of the collapsed heaven!

Yu Lie stood on the ascension platform. In such a huge ruin, he felt like a tiny ant.

"Is this a corner of the ancient heaven?"

He murmured something, his eyes looking even more excited.

With such a vast territory and such stunning ancient relics, there must be many treasures inside!

Yu Lie only needed to scrape a little bit of the ancient spiritual soil and earth from it, and he would probably be able to change the appearance of his Purple Palace again.

After looking around, he also glanced down at his feet and found that there were layers of building ruins below the ascension platform. They were more scattered, and the overall area and size were not as large as those above his head.

This made Yu Lie realize that the ruins of the heavenly palace were in the shape of an inverted cone, with a small bottom and increasing in size as it went up.

Because Yu Lie chose a larger fighting altar when he came in, the place where he landed was slightly higher.

After thinking for a while, Yu Lie completely withdrew his gaze from downwards and looked up at the top of his head.

Obviously, if there are benefits in the secret realm, more and bigger ones must be at the higher levels.

Yu Lie immediately used his internal energy, and mist rose from under his feet, supporting him as he climbed upwards.

However, after leaving the ascension platform, he suddenly turned around and waved towards the pavilion area of ​​several dozen feet behind him, intending to open the portal of the Purple Mansion and take the ruins of the ascension platform directly into the Purple Mansion.

It should be noted that although it is damaged, it is still a fragment of the Xian Qin Heavenly Palace. If it is stored in the Purple Palace, it may be possible to extract more spiritual energy from it. Even if not, it can be placed in the Purple Palace as a historical ornament.

But unfortunately, Yu Lie used his true energy and only opened a small hole, and he felt exhausted. When the hole was less than ten feet in size, a pressure like a mountain and sea suddenly came over him, making his face turn pale.

After struggling for a few breaths, Yu Lie let out a breath and wisely chose to give up.

"Sure enough, this place has a certain degree of suppression on the Purple Palace and even the storage magic tools. No wonder I felt the pressure from the City of Misfortune reappeared as soon as I came in."

He looked at the ascension platform with regret.

The Purple Palace could not be opened, and his plan to fill it up and empty the Heavenly Palace was shattered.

However, Yu Lie had already anticipated this. After feeling sorry for a while, he cheered himself up and flew towards the nearest ruins above his head.

Whoohoo!

His figure flickered, and soon after he left the ascension platform, he discovered that although there was no tornado between the ruins, there were strong gusts of wind mixed with evil spirits. If it were in the outside world, an ordinary Taoist priest would be seriously injured if blown by it.

Fortunately, Yu Lie’s evil spirit is now complete, and the protective aura around his body is sufficient to completely block the strong wind and not hurt himself.

However, in doing so, he seemed to have fallen into a quagmire. The distance that he could originally cross in the blink of an eye became a very long distance. He had to move slowly like an old man, and this would take at least a quarter of an hour.

In addition, Yu Lie moved clumsily for several feet in the fierce gale. He also found that the higher he went, the stronger the wind in the ruins became.

He strongly suspected that the tornadoes wrapped around the ruins were pure and chaotic gale force winds, which only Taoists who practiced gale force wind could resist.

However, faced with such a predicament, Yu Lie did not frown, but instead smiled.

He took out a bead from his sleeve, held it gently in his hand, and uttered a word:

"Certainly!"

With a buzzing sound, a flash of blood overflowed from Yu Lie's hand. Within a radius of ten feet, the strong wind suddenly stopped and bypassed.

This bead is exactly the Wind-Fixing Bead that Yu Lie obtained in the Wuzhen Tomb.

With this item in hand, he does not need to practice the cultivation of Gang, nor does he need to rely on the protection of Taoists who have practiced Gang or above. He can step into the Gangfeng layer alone to pick the Gangqi.

The powerful energy is everywhere in the ruins of Heaven, but this place is also where this thing can display its power!

Yu Lie praised: "Not bad, not bad. It's worth the risk I took to get you. In this place, your value is equivalent to a magic weapon."

What the Wind-Fixing Pearl consumes in order to capture the evil spirit is its own energy, and does not consume any additional energy from the rest of the people.

Moreover, the evil spirits that it can hold include thousands of kinds of evil spirits in the world. It can be said that all the breath, wind and rain can be restrained by it.

In contrast, some Taoists who practice Gangfeng have Gangqi and can walk in the Gangfeng wind, but they not only need to consume their own true energy to maintain it. If they encounter a powerful Gangsha that is stronger than the Gangqi in their bodies, they still have to retreat.

Yu Lie doesn't need to do the same.

After he took out the Wind-Fixing Bead, he thought for a moment, then pulled out a snow-white object from his sleeve, hung the opponent's tail on his belt and tied it tightly.

Only a series of whimpering sounds were heard.

The treasure-hunting bamboo rat jumped out. It was originally sleepy and lazy, but after receiving Yu Lie's instructions and tasting a drop of top-grade ancient spiritual dew, it immediately became energetic, fluttered around Yu Lie's waist, and began to search for the way and point to the treasure.

Yu Lie looked at its excited and stupid appearance and laughed, then he held the Wind-Fixing Bead in one hand and supported the rat in the other.

With the help of these two items, Yu Lie was able to move freely in his exploration of the secret realm and hit whatever he pointed at. In just one day, he also gained a lot.

After just wandering around five small ruins, Yu Lie had a gourd full of spiritual dew in his hands.

The spiritual energy contained in it, if converted into spiritual stones, would be close to a hundred pieces. And if converted into medium-grade spiritual stones, the value would be more than 100,000, and it would be priceless!

When Yu Lie thought that his smooth treasure hunt would continue for several more days before he encountered particularly rare objects and other Taoists.

Just half a day later, the treasure-hunting bamboo rat on his waist suddenly squeaked and pointed excitedly at a ruin above his head.

The ruins were in the shape of an arch, formed by the collapse of the dome of an ancient palace, and piled up together with various brick and tile fragments. The surface looked gray and unremarkable.

Yu Lie's mind moved, and he immediately changed his plan of slowly moving forward. He crossed over the ruins and flew towards the arch ruins.

When it flew over the arch, the treasure-hunting bamboo rat sniffed left and right, nodded, and became even more excited. It also asked Yu Lie to be careful.

Because, there is someone!

Yu Lie received its warning and immediately made a hand gesture to reset the protective aura on his body and took out the ghost furnace from his sleeve.

It used the Wind-Fixing Bead's ability to capture breath and slowly approached the interior of the ruins.

But before he stepped into the ruins, a figure emerged from the ruins on its own, laughing:

"Haha, I'm so excited!"

Yu Lie’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and his spiritual sense swept over the other party.

As soon as the man rushed out, he saw Yu Lie who almost blocked him, and his body froze in mid-air, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

The atmosphere between the two was cold and they seemed ready to fight at any moment.

But soon, a strange look appeared in the eyes of both parties, and they shouted:

“Kui Mulang?”, “Yu Lie?!”

I saw a figure emerging from the arched ruins. He had a wolf face and a human body. It was none other than Kuimu Lang.

He held a pile of stones in his hand. The spiritual energy on them was purer than the spiritual dew that Yu Lie had collected with great effort. They were truly genuine high-quality spiritual stones!

Kuimulang looked at Yu Lie in surprise. There was a crackling sound coming from the passage on his body. A cloud of dust swept over him, making him look a little dusty.

The entire huge arched ruins began to wail, breaking into pieces, and a huge collapse occurred inside.

Obviously, Yu Lie arrived a step late, and the benefits of this place had already been taken by Kuimulang, and the other party seemed to have suffered a bit in there, and consumed a lot of mana.

Yu Lie squinted his eyes and looked at the collapsed ruins, then set his gaze on Kuimulang.

He stared at the high-grade spirit stone in the other person's hand and said with a smile:

"Daoyou Kuimu, long time no see."

Kuimulang smiled dryly, trying his best to hide the spirit stone in his hand, and replied:

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met... I wish you good fortune!"

After saying the last sentence, Kuimulang turned around and ran wildly in one direction, trying to avoid Yu Lie and escape.

........................

A few hours later.

Kuimulang stood beside Yu Lie, looking even more dusty and grimy. His face was filled with pain, and he shook out high-quality spirit stones from his sleeves one after another, and kept shouting:

"That's really all! I agreed to give you half, and I've already given you 70%."

Not until he had taken out 128 top-grade spirit stones in one breath, and no matter how Yu Lie threatened or tempted him, he refused to take out even a single piece and swore an oath.

Facing the distraught beast, Yu Lie put away the 128 spirit stones and said with satisfaction:

"This amount of spiritual stones can be regarded as compensation to the people in the city for the damage you did to Qian County. I will accept it for the people of Qian County first."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, it made Kuimu Lang's teeth hurt even more. He muttered:

"This amount of spiritual stones is enough to rebuild a county city."

Yu Lie pretended not to hear him. After a moment's silence, he suddenly said, "Brother Mu, you just mentioned that the nearby secret places are familiar to you and you know where some treasures are hidden. Then, lead the way quickly!"

It turns out that Kuimulang had been preparing for the trip to the secret realm of Huoxing City ten years ago. Because he belonged to the Taoist court and was blessed by the magical son, he knew a lot of secrets and knew the location of the "treasure" in the secret realm in advance.

Even if this fellow's cultivation had not yet broken through the Refining Gang stage, he would have only reached the perfection of Condensing Sha. He was unlucky enough to be blocked by a gust of strong wind just now.

Given the level of knowledge this beast has, there is a high probability that he will be able to slip away from Yu Lie's hands.

In order to save his life, after being caught, Kuimulang not only distributed the spirit stones in his hand, but also promised to take Yu Lie to hunt for treasure nearby.

Yu Lie had Taoist soldiers to protect him and guardian generals at his disposal, so he was not afraid of this guy's cheating. Considering that the other party had been sensible both times, he did not fight with him. He planned to join forces with this guy and use him as a guide.

Hearing Yu Lie's urging, the pain on Kuimulang's face eased a little. Then he looked excited and looked at the Wind-Fixing Bead in Yu Lie's hand repeatedly.

This beast said, "Okay, okay! Brother Yu, join hands with me today, and we will go and do something big. If possible, we can even collect enough elixir resources in one go."

The two of them turned around and rushed towards a huge palace that was falling apart in the tornado. The spiritual light on it had not faded, and it still looked like a bright moon after thousands of years...
