Chapter 178: Dan-condensing water is obtained, misty phantom, secret house
Fu Changsheng was unmoved and walked straight into the North Hall. The real treasure of the entire site was not in the treasure hall marked on the map, but in the northernmost Water Dragon Pond. If it were not for the information provided by the intelligence, perhaps he would have really gone to the treasure hall like the Shangguan and Gongsun families.
Seeing that Fu Changsheng was unmoved and had no intention of heading for the treasure hall, Yu Qingru and Fu Molan looked at each other in confusion, but still obediently followed him into the palace.
After entering the north hall of the ruins.
Fu Changsheng scanned with his spiritual sense, but did not find the ink cartridge mentioned in the intelligence.
Fu Molan at the side uttered a sigh:
"Master, there seems to be a mechanism here."
Fu Molan practiced puppetry and also had a lot of experience in mechanical engineering.
She just waved her sleeves, and the gravel on the ground was thrown out with a loud bang, revealing the inky black ground. The ground was paved with pieces of floorboards with different patterns, which was a bit dazzling to look at.
Fu Changsheng looked at it carefully for a while.
But I didn't find any clues.
Fu Molan squatted down and studied it for about half an hour. Her eyes lit up, and she made hand gestures with her right hand. One after another, she cast spells on the floor with different patterns, and the entire ground began to shake.
Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound.
But then an underground passage appeared before my eyes.
A long stone staircase comes into view.
The walls around the stone stairs are inlaid with moonstones, and the hazy white light illuminates the entire passage.
Fu Molan slapped the storage bag, a black light flashed, and several puppet beasts suddenly flashed out, went down the long stone stairs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After a while.
Fu Molan turned around and said:
"Master, there is no danger below, you can move forward."
Fu Changsheng nodded.
She was the first to enter the underground passage, followed by Yu Qingru, and Fu Molan was the backup. After entering, she was seen making some hand gestures and several rays of light hit the floor.
Accompanied by a rumble.
The floor healed back together, and it looked as if the underground cave had never existed.
Go down the long stone stairs.
At the end.
But I saw a small square.
The sound of flowing water could be heard in the square.
In the center of the square there is actually a water dragon pond.
Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up:
“I didn’t expect that the entrance to Shuilongtan was in this underground passage.”
He glanced around the square.
There was only one stone chamber standing here. Fu Changsheng cast a spell into it. With a bang, the stone door trembled, and then a hazy white light curtain appeared.
There was actually a formation still preserved in the stone chamber.
Based on information provided by intelligence.
The elixir-condensing water is most likely in this stone chamber.
Fu Changsheng looked at Yu Qingru:
"Miss Qingru, can you unlock the protective formation of this stone chamber?"
"Master, wait a moment."
Yu Qingru slapped her storage bag, and a ray of light flashed. A spirit-testing array disk appeared in her hand. She cast spells into it one after another. Different spiritual lights from the array disk poured into the stone chamber, and the light curtain of the stone chamber kept changing and shaking.
It's been tea time.
Yu Qingru's method of closing the case.
Everything is back to normal.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Miss Qingru, can this formation be broken?"
This is directly related to the 30% success rate of the Foundation Establishment Pill. It would be a lie for Fu Changsheng to say that he is not nervous.
Yu Qingru pondered for a while.
Nodding and saying:
"Master, let me try first."
After all, these were magic arrays set up by ancient monks, which were somewhat different from their current magic arrays. Yu Qingru slapped her storage bag, and three array flags instantly fell on the three directions of Tian Qian, Di Sha, and Qian Kun. Along with the pinching of magic spells, a thick flame rose from the array flags with a humming sound and fell into the stone gate.
A myriad of water mist surged up from the stone gate.
The water mist evaporates.
But I saw ripples emerging.
The scene in the stone chamber came into view.
Yu Qingru said quickly:
"Master, the stone gate has been opened. Please enter quickly. I can only hold out for thirty breaths."
The words have not yet fallen.
Fu Changsheng and Fu Molan have entered the stone chamber one after another. There are many small holes on the stone walls around the chamber. Many of the holes are empty, and only two of them have boxes placed in them.
The one facing Fu Changsheng was the ink-colored box.
Touch the ground with your toes.
Fu Changsheng leaped into the air and quickly put the ink-colored box into his pocket. On the other side, Fu Molan also took out a green box. The two of them flashed and immediately flashed out of the stone chamber.
boom!
Yu Qingru's method of closing the case.
The door of the stone chamber closed again.
Fu Molan handed the green box in her hand to Fu Changsheng:
"Homeowner"
There are layers of restrictions on the green box.
Divine consciousness cannot penetrate in.
Fu Changsheng made hand gestures with his right hand and injected some magic spells into it.
hum!
A soft chime came from the box.
Then an ancient jade slip came into view.
Fu Changsheng waved his hand.
The jade slip floated up and stuck to the center of his eyebrows.
boom!
A huge amount of information instantly flowed into his sea of consciousness, and it took Fu Changsheng a long time to digest it.
Yu Qingru said with some excitement:
"Master, what is written on it?"
"A third-level spiritual technique."
Spiritual arts?!
Yu Qingru exclaimed softly.
Generally speaking.
Only Purple Mansion cultivators can practice third-level spiritual arts, and they are extremely powerful. Of course, there are exceptions. Some high-level techniques come with spiritual arts in the foundation-building chapter, and foundation-building cultivators can also practice and perform them with difficulty.
but.
in her mind.
I have never heard of any family that has inherited spiritual arts.
They really found a treasure this time.
Fu Molan was also a little excited:
"Master, let me take a look."
They are all family members.
Fu Changsheng naturally had nothing to hide, so he stretched out his hand and handed the jade slip to Fu Molan.
The spiritual art mentioned in the jade slip flashed through his mind.
The name of the spiritual art is "Mist and Phantom".
According to the jade slips.
The Mist and Cloud Phantom originated from the Mist and Cloud Mountains, which are forever shrouded in mist. The Taoist Taixu, who lived in seclusion there, observed the changes of the morning and evening mists in the mountains and gained insight into the ever-changing mysteries of nature. He integrated these ever-changing elements into his body movements, thus creating the Mist and Cloud Phantom Art.
"Phantom of Smoke and Haze" is known for its psychedelic and changeable nature.
Its power does not lie in direct destruction, but in the fact that it makes the user change like smoke, making it impossible for the opponent to catch the true body. Its strength lies in the fact that it can enter any environment as if no one is there, and even the most perceptive opponent will find it difficult to identify the true position of the practitioner.
But I want to practice this spiritual art.
However, it requires the assistance of a spiritual creature called "Phantom Fireworks Spirit".
The essence of the phantom fireworks is taken from the phantom fireworks that only bloom once a year at a specific location in the Yanxia Mountains. Its petals contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and unpredictable energy. Absorbing its essence is an indispensable element in practicing the Yanxia Phantom.
of course.
Every spiritual art requires a certain amount of talent and understanding.
To practice "Mist and Clouds Illusion", the practitioner must have an extraordinary body movement foundation and a spiritual awareness of at least the late stage of foundation building. Not only that, the understanding and discrimination of illusions is also a great test for practitioners. Only those with deep understanding and the ability to cope with rapid changes can learn this spiritual art.
After reading it, Fu Molan handed the jade slip to Yu Qingru.
Frowning slightly:
"Master, have you ever heard of the Phantom Fire Fairy mentioned in the jade slip?"
Fu Changsheng shook his head.
This phantom smoke fairy might have already become extinct in the current world of cultivation.
but.
Maybe I can ask the Wanning Chamber of Commerce next time I go.
According to the requirements of the spiritual art "Smoke and Phantom", he himself has practiced the Steps to Immortality, and now his spiritual awareness is several points stronger than that of an ordinary late foundation building cultivator.
Therefore, one is qualified to practice.
Just find the auxiliary spiritual creature, the Phantom Fireworks Spirit.
at the same time.
The familiar mechanical voice rang in Fu Changsheng's mind.
"Ding"
"You have added a third-grade superior spiritual skill to the family, and gained 250 contribution points."
Followed by.
The family contribution value on the panel instantly climbed from 6,480 to 6,730.
Fu Changsheng looked at the contribution value above and an idea came to him.
If there were no Fantasy Fireworks Fairy at the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, perhaps he could use the system to double the draw. He was afraid of wasting contribution points before, but now he has more than 6,000, so he can give it a try. After all, he has been promoted to a ninth-rank family head. With the blessing of luck, the chances of getting the spiritual objects he wants from the doubled draw should be greatly increased.
but.
The phantom firework spirit is a third-level spiritual creature.
Almost all of the spiritual objects that come out of the system's double draw are second-level spiritual objects, and third-level ones are very rare.
and so.
He shouldn't have too high expectations.
So as to avoid making mistakes at that time.
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the ink-colored box in his hand. He cast a spell, and the restriction was lifted. With a humming sound, a glow of light surged.
Then a pill bottle came into view.
The pill bottle contained a green spiritual liquid:
"Dan Condensing Water!"
Fu Molan exclaimed.
Fu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, as the ultimate purpose of entering the ruins had been achieved.
At this moment, the familiar mechanical voice sounded in my mind again:
"Ding"
"You bought Dan-condensing water for the family and gained 70 contribution points."
Followed by.
The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed from 6,730 to 6,800, and only 200 were left to reach 7,000:
“I wonder if the system will be upgraded once the contribution points reach 10,000.”
Fu Changsheng felt vaguely expectant.
He put the Dan-condensing water into the storage bag, looked at Yu Qingru and said:
"Miss Qingru, I have another use for this Dan-condensing water. Your contributions in the ruins will be recorded in your identity token. You can then take the token to the clan to exchange for what you want."
"Thank you, Patriarch"
The three of them came to the Water Dragon Pond.
A green light flashed on Fu Changsheng's index finger, and Xiaoqing flashed out. As the green light surged, his body grew larger and turned into a green python. Fu Changsheng touched the ground with his toes and landed on the back of the green python, while waving his hand:
"Molan, Miss Qingru, please come up, let's go to the bottom of the Water Dragon Pond and take a look."
Fu Molan and the other person landed on the green python's back one after another.
"sizzle"
Xiaoqing shook her body reluctantly.
Fu Changsheng calmed it down, and Xiaoqing then began to glow with green light, swung its tail, and sank into the water dragon pool below with a splash.
The bottom of the pool seemed bottomless.
The further down you go.
The lower the temperature around.
In the end, Fu Changsheng and others had to condense a light shield to resist the cold air.
"What exactly is hidden in this water dragon pond?"
Compared with the discomfort of Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru.
Fu Molan vaguely felt a sense of intimacy.
Upon seeing this, Fu Changsheng estimated that the Bone-Cold Spirit Fire mentioned in the intelligence was most likely not far from the bottom of the pool, and this passage was the path leading to the real cave residence of the owner of the ruins.
About an hour passed.
Finally, a hazy white light flashed before my eyes.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water.
Xiaoqing jumped out directly from the bottom of the pool.
What came into view was a long icy passage. Coming out of the pool, Fu Changsheng couldn't help but shiver. The temperature here was several degrees colder than in the pool.
Fu Molan has an ice-attributed spiritual root, and the "Su Nu Xuan Bing Gong" she practices is also an ice-attributed technique. For her, this place is a perfect place for her to fish in water, and it is also a blessed place for cultivation, so her eyes lit up and she said:
"Master, you stay here first. I'll go in and find out what's going on."
"Well, but you have to be careful and don't be careless."
Fu Changsheng gave an instruction.
There is a bone spirit cold fire in this passage, which is ranked in the top 100 of the strange fire rankings.
He and Yu Qingru entered.
It will definitely be frozen into slag.
Fu Molan responded and started practicing his skills. The Guluo fan floated above his head and he walked calmly into the passage step by step.
The passage doesn't seem long.
But once you enter, you can't see the end.
When it was halfway through.
However, there were human-shaped ice sculptures standing in the passage, and when these people died, there were expressions of unwillingness and fear on their faces.
Fu Molan suddenly became alert.
Then they walked another ten feet.
"Buzz!"
A sound of breaking air came from the front.
But see.
One by one, ice birds appeared.
They swooped down on her in overwhelming numbers. The ice birds seemed to be only at the first level in strength, but their tails carried wisps of tiny flames. Wherever the flames passed, the temperature around them dropped sharply again.
With a crackling sound.
The Guluo fan floating above Fu Molan's head was instantly frozen.
There was no panic on Fu Molan's face. She just made a gesture with her right hand and a spell was uttered. With a buzzing sound, a Sky Prison Ice Seal whizzed out.
The ice birds that were originally rushing over were instantly frozen.
however.
next moment.
But then I heard a series of explosions.
Ice Bird self-destructs.
Then it turned into wisps of cold bone fire.
Fu Molan's pupils shrank:
"It turned out to be transformed by strange fire?"
She just changed her spell and her true energy gathered and formed an ice bowl in mid-air. As she cast another spell, a suction force burst out from the ice bowl, which absorbed the bone spirit cold fire that was divided into strands into the ice bowl and quickly put on layers of restrictions.
Open your mouth.
Take this ball of bone spirit cold fire into Dantian and confine it with true energy.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire can freeze everything, and even a storage bag cannot hold it. Fu Molan plans to refine it slowly one strand at a time after she gets out.
There was no bone spirit cold fire in the entire passage.
The temperature rose a lot at once.
Fu Changsheng, who was at the entrance of the passage, also noticed it, and his eyes lit up slightly: "It seems that Mo Lan has already subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Fire."
really.
After a while.
A rapid buzzing sound came from his waist, and a spell was cast into it, and Mo Lan's voice came out:
"Master, you can come in now."
Entering the ice sculpture passage, he saw a number of human-shaped ice sculptures halfway through. With the disappearance of the bone spirit cold fire, they were melting rapidly. Because of the long-term freezing, their flesh bodies had not decayed. Fu Changsheng immediately put these human-shaped ice sculptures into the storage bag without hesitation. This was a great tonic for Xiaoqing and Qiu Chan.
At the end of the passage.
But then a diamond-shaped mirror appeared before my eyes.
A complex magic array is engraved on the diamond-shaped mirror.
Fu Molan had been standing there studying for a long time. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and said:
"Master, this diamond-shaped mirror should be an entrance."
So complicated.
Plus there are quite a few human-shaped ice sculptures left in the passage.
Enough to be visible.
There must be something hidden behind this diamond-shaped mirror.
Fu Changsheng used his spiritual sense to check carefully, but could not find any clues.
"Master, let me give it a try."
Yu Qingru took out the test array and cast spells into it, which kept changing. Molan, who was standing by and had practiced mechanical arts, would occasionally make some comments.
Several hours passed.
As Yu Qingru's last flag fell.
Rumble!
But then I saw that the diamond-shaped mirror actually began to rotate.
It was quick at first.
About half a cup of tea passed.
The diamond-shaped mirror stopped turning.
There was a bang.
The mirror turned into a stone door.
There was a recessed space in the stone door, and it seemed that a key or something like that was needed to open the stone door.
Fu Molan murmured:
"It seems that in order to open this stone door, we have to find the key to it."
Yu Qingru's face turned pale and she bit her lips unwillingly.
I worked so hard for so long, but to no avail.
Fu Molan didn't intend to give up easily:
"Let's look around. If that doesn't work, we can just look along the way we came a few times. The key must be in the ruins. As long as we are careful enough, we will definitely find it."
Fu Changsheng stood there without moving.
He stared at the keyhole of the stone door for a long time. The shape looked familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't seem to remember it.
Entrance to the treasure hall.
But Shangguan Feng was seen sitting cross-legged in meditation, his breath slightly unstable.
There was a dead body lying next to him.
It was Shangguan Ding.
Also.
Six people from the Shangguan family entered this place together.
The other four people, including Shangguan Hongyu, were also injured.
Not far from them.
However, it was the great elder of the Gongsun family who died with his eyes open, and another cultivator of the Gongsun family who was in the late foundation building stage.
This is the end.
All nine Foundation Establishment warriors of the Gongsun family, whether they were guarding Duolong Lake or entering the ruins, were killed. Although the Shangguan family was outnumbered six to two, the great elder of the Gongsun family was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment level, and he counterattacked before his death and took Shangguan Ding away.
A member of the tribe died.
He is also a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.
The atmosphere in the Shangguan family is not very good.
Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Ding have always had the best relationship. At this moment, with tears in his eyes, he took out the spiritual materials and simply forged a coffin, and then put Shangguan Ding into the coffin.
Shangguan Yun glanced behind him.
The three members of the Fu family never showed up from beginning to end.
I felt a little annoyed.
If the three people from the Fu family could show up in time, not counting the Qi training array master, there would be eight people who have established their foundation. If they could face the two people from the Gongsun family, Sixteenth Brother would definitely be safe.
I saw Shangguan Feng had already stood up.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"Great Elder, the Fu family is a subordinate force. When the master family is in trouble, they have not shown up yet. This is unacceptable no matter what. We must seek an explanation for the death of our sixteenth brother."
The words have not yet fallen.
Shangguan Hongyu frowned.
