"Senior Chen, it's like this. This matter started half a month ago..."

Jiang Mingjing cleared his throat, and then told Chen Ping the whole story in detail.

It turns out that this matter started with two people, one was a Qi practitioner named Duan Xiaoding, and the other was Jiang Yu, the shopkeeper of a shop on Konghu Island.

Duan Xiaoding has been practicing on Chengkan Island all year round. The two people who are more than 10,000 miles apart would not have been able to get together.

But half a month ago, Duan Xiaoding landed on Konghu Island in a spiritual boat and secretly sold something in Jiang's shop.

It was the eggshells Chen Ping was holding, but there were more, five in total.

As a veteran in the business world, Jiang Yu could tell at a glance that this eggshell was not a mortal thing.

So, while paying a high price for Duan Xiaoding's treasure, he sent his followers to follow this person to see if there would be any unexpected gains.

When the entourage came back to report that Duan Xiaoding stayed at a restaurant near the ferry and waited for the next ferry, Jiang Yu immediately reported the matter to the second elder Jiang Mingjing and presented the eggshell.

As a foundation-building monk, Jiang Mingjing's vision and methods are naturally not comparable to those of a junior Qi practitioner.

He felt that this small eggshell fragment actually contained a vast natural ice aura, which was very strange.

Thinking of his granddaughter's ice spirit root, an idea popped into Jiang Mingjing's mind.

He tried to let Jiang Peiling absorb the energy inside, and was delighted to find that swallowing an eggshell was equivalent to taking several high-quality elixirs with four patterns, which could directly increase his granddaughter's cultivation.

Jiang Mingjing made a quick decision and went to the ferry to stop Duan Xiaoding.

Duan Xiaoding was frightened when he saw the foundation-building monks coming to his door. He didn't dare to hide anything, so he honestly explained what happened.

One day, the Chengkan Island volcano erupted, and he happened to chase a first-order monster into the magma land.

In the unsoftened ground, he found something shiny.

Duan Xiaoding had a vague feeling that eggshells were not mortal things. To be on the safe side, Duan Xiaoding did not choose the closer Haichang City, but boarded the soul boat on Konghu Island, intending to dispose of these eggshell fragments in a foreign land where no one knew him.

I know that in the end, I will still be targeted.

Jiang Mingjing was immediately overjoyed and made a decision to secretly take Jiang Peiling to Chengkan Island without telling the elder to find out.

The reason why he did not report it to the Great Elder was mainly due to his selfishness.

Eggshells are extremely magical and will be of great help to my granddaughter. Moreover, if a more precious treasure is found, wouldn't it be a windfall from heaven?

You know, the second elder of his dignified family doesn't even have a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Secondly, he felt sorry for Jiang Peiling, who had just established her foundation, and wanted to take her out to get some fresh air and adjust her mood.

So, while the elder was in retreat, the two of them drove the spirit boat to the Chen family's waters. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by Chen Ping, who had arrived first.

Jiang Mingjing kept silent about what happened next.

I can only lament that the world of cultivation is really full of all kinds of chances and coincidences. Maybe if he sets out half a day early or half a day late, he won't be able to meet Chen Ping.

"Did Xiao Ding reveal any other information in that paragraph?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

Jiang Mingjing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "He said that in the past two years, the interval between volcanic eruptions on the island has been greatly shortened, but the local cultivators organized several people to conduct surveys, but no useful clues were found."

"Little friend Jiang, junior sister."

Chen Ping shouted and said with twinkling eyes: "If you two are tired, why not take a rest. I am going to enter the volcano to explore the reality."

Jiang Mingjing was startled for a moment, but the next moment he understood what he meant, and said quickly: "Senior, don't worry, Pei Ling and I will be guarding senior outside the mountain to prevent outsiders from breaking in."

"You two should get some sleep first."

Shaking his head, Chen Ping said, a strange blue light appeared in his pupils, and the Jiang family's ancestors and grandsons suddenly felt that their vision went dark, and they fell down in a daze.

As soon as the seal was pressed, the second-order Dark Night Golden Rose Spider puppets suddenly appeared on both sides.

Throwing their bodies onto the spider's back respectively, Chen Ping directed the puppet to get into the ground.

He didn't feel the slightest guilt in preventing the Jiang family's ancestors and grandchildren from exploring treasures with him. On the contrary, he was protecting them.

To put it bluntly, suppose an immeasurable treasure or a huge secret is discovered in the volcano, where should the two of them go?

Although the seedlings of mutated earth spiritual roots are worth cultivating, they are nothing compared to some of the rare treasures of heaven and earth.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky from the high crater.

Chen Ping looked intently and saw that this was the volcano that had just erupted.

I stepped on my toes and my body flew up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

Black volcanic ash is like black snow, slowly falling down.

As we walked closer, the black snow seemed like huge crow feathers, circling and falling slowly.

Staring at the huge hole filled with magma at his feet, Chen Ping jumped in without saying a word.

It was not his fault. For the Yuandan monks who majored in fire-attributed exercises, this hot place was just like the ordinary Lingshan Blessed Land.

Everything in the volcanic cave is corroded by lava, and there is rolling hot magma in all directions.

Spreading his consciousness, Chen Ping searched carefully inch by inch.

Due to environmental restrictions, the limits of his spiritual consciousness were slightly weakened, but the impact was not great.

"wrong."

After diving for half a cup of tea, Chen Ping suddenly paused and stopped quickly.

Although his speed was not very fast, he still traveled hundreds of feet.

If it were a natural volcanic space, wouldn't it have gone deep into the seabed?

Chen Ping frowned, and after thinking for a while, he used the magic of the True Eye, and scanned the area bit by bit with his spiritual consciousness.

After a while, a light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at a rock wall somewhere.

Because as soon as his consciousness touched the rock wall, it was bounced back unceremoniously, unable to penetrate even half of it, let alone explore the real situation inside.

When the Huan Zhenmu was operating at full strength, he discovered that there were a series of faint, almost air-like fluorescence arranged on it. It would not have been possible to detect it without the addition of pupil skills.

It seems that the interior of this volcano has been restricted by people with great supernatural powers.

"It's really a phantom formation."

Chen Ping's face changed slightly and he thought secretly.

The formation that can resist his divine consciousness detection must be at least a level three formation.

But why would someone set up a big formation here?

Chengkan Island is just an insignificant first-class island, completely unsuitable for being a dojo for high-level monks.

Chen Ping stretched out his fingers and stroked the rock wall gently for a while.

Although the exact type of the phantom formation could not be identified, the unfathomable spiritual power contained in it still made Chen Ping's heart tremble violently.

Alchemy!

There is actually a trace of golden elixir in these restrictions. Even if it is unusually thin, it makes Chen Ping feel a huge threat.

It was actually a large formation set up by the Golden Pill monks!

Silently retracting his palm, Chen Ping held his chin and thought quietly for a moment.

This restriction has existed for at least several decades, and the golden elixir within it has almost completely dissipated, indicating that the seniors who set up the formation gave up this foothold for some unknown reason, and did not even take back the formation.

A trace of struggle appeared on his face, and then Chen Ping seemed to have made up his mind and retreated to the exit, stepping on the Sword Lotus Escape Light under his feet, and recited the last word of the Magic Shadow Escape Step in preparation for his attack.

Then, Chen Ping held the Five Elements Pure Yang Sword and waved it casually in the air. A sharp sword light hit the restriction, causing circles of arc ripples to ripple.

After waiting nervously for more than twenty breaths, when he saw that there was no movement from the mountain, Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and danced vigorously again with the Pure Yang Sword.

This time, dozens of cyan sword lights swam out from the outside world, and then connected in one place, turning into a lifelike blue dragon, and the sword energy swept towards the restriction.

"Zi La"

The forbidden white light on the stone wall flashed, and hundreds of petals began to spin and dance rapidly. A white light shield suddenly shrank, instantly blocking the attack of Qinglian Sword Qi.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ping was not surprised at all.

Although the main body of the restriction should be a phantom formation, it is normal to have some defensive capabilities.

Soon, the spiritual power supporting the Stegosaurus drained away, but the stone wall remained motionless, as if there was no damage at all.

However, after Chen Ping's Huan Zhen eyes swept over, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

Under the consumption of the sword dragon, the restrictions on the wall have been reduced by 10%, and the two hundred golden elixir energy mixed with it has also disappeared by half.

Chen Ping pursed his lips and put the Pure Yang Sword back into his sleeves. Immediately afterwards, he put his hands together in front of his chest. One palm was covered with a layer of white cold light, and the other one was filled with purple and blue flames. Then he spoke With a "puff" sound, two egg-sized flames fell down and rushed towards the restriction.

The ice crystal flames and dry blue-violet flames burned on the surface of the rock wall at the same time, intertwined with the petals generated by the prohibition, and devoured each other desperately.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell which side had the upper hand.

Chen Ping calmly sat down cross-legged and began to communicate with the two spiritual flames, intending to boil the frog in warm water and wear away the restrictions bit by bit.

Three hours later.

Just when there was only 20% of the mana left in his body, he heard a few weird "puff" whines from below, and the light curtain composed of hundreds of petals completely exploded. The array was finally broken.
