In the void, a formation flag buzzed, and the dense mold lake runes were shining brightly. They absorbed the essence of the formation here and blended it into the flag, making its power even more terrifying.
Even the black flagpole newly refined by Jiang Ming has benefited from it. It has been washed and tempered by the essence of various formation materials, and its color has become darker and darker, and it is undergoing transformation.
"The formation flag you got is like a primer..." Black Sword explained: "If it can be tempered and transformed more times, absorbing massive amounts of essence and runes, it may be able to grow to an extremely high level.
, Possessing all kinds of mysterious powers!"
"Is this flag so powerful?" Jiang Ming was surprised.
"It can be used as the main formation flag of the former Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation, representing the face and heritage of the Holy Land. It may have been able to manifest an extremely terrifying holy treasure back then. The cost of refining it is far beyond your imagination, even if it is now decayed.
It is dilapidated, but its heritage still exists and has extremely high growth potential..."
Black Sword explained: "A formation flag of this level will generally not fall out at all. Even if the sect is broken, it will collapse along with Shen Ji... However, it is separated from the area outside the ruins before it can be picked up.
It can be seen that this holy land suffered unimaginable drastic changes back then. It fell apart overnight and ceased to exist!"
"Furthermore, I have some experience in the method of refining spiritual objects, and can guide the transformation of this formation flag..." Black Sword said slowly.
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came to his senses and said seriously: "Thank you so much, Brother Jian."
Black Sword said it casually, but Jiang Ming knew that the experiences it mentioned were definitely priceless secrets for other monks.
Then Jiang Ming couldn't help but think about it: "If I take the formation flag, walk through the entire ruins, and let the formation flag absorb it all, won't it have to change its life?"
"What are you dreaming about..." Heijian was a little speechless and said: "Even if you are an immortal cultivator, you still pay attention to step by step, let alone a dead object. Maybe many years later, this flag will be born with wisdom, and then it can be called
It’s up to you to change your life...but whether you can survive until then, I still don’t know.”
Black Sword then suddenly said: "Although the holy land here is destroyed, the ruins can be revived regularly. Who do you think is in charge? After all, a place of death will not revive every sixty years..."
"What do you mean..." Jiang Ming was stunned, and then he figured out a trace of the black sword, and was suddenly shocked: "Could it be... that there is some magic weapon in this ruins that generates spiritual intelligence and is leading the recovery of this place?"
"After all, ten thousand years have passed, and no monk can live for such a long time..." Black Sword said quietly: "No one knows what is in the deepest part of this ruins. Maybe there are old friends I met back then... I
I advise you not to go too deep. After exploring this foundation building area, it’s time to leave.”
"Didn't Brother Jian know the person who founded this holy land? Couldn't we get some benefits?" Jiang Ming asked tentatively. He was guessing that the old friend mentioned by Black Sword was also a magical weapon?
Black Sword snorted and said calmly: "The old friend I knew has long been turned into a handful of loess. The most I can do is use the memories of those years to help you steal some benefits here, such as the star refining technique in the stone palace...
If I really dare to go to the depths of the ruins to find some old friends to reminisce about the past... maybe I will be suppressed directly by the other party and used as food to supplement..."
"This seemingly ownerless black stone ruins is not a good place. Those pill-forming and even Nascent Soul monks who run wild here...may be in bad luck..."
Jiang Ming was suddenly startled, and a layer of cold sweat seemed to break out on his back. He felt like he was in this ruins, as if he was being watched by some terrifying existence from the sky.
"But this ruins has been broken after all. Even if there is something old hiding in the deepest part, it shouldn't be able to extend its tentacles so far..." Black Sword said: "As long as you don't go too deep, you can get out in time."
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, but had already secretly decided in his heart that after he found Wuhen and fished out this careless old subordinate from this area, he would immediately withdraw from this place and escape thousands of miles away, never to get involved in the black stone ruins again.
thing.
He is not afraid of dangerous situations, but if he is discovered and taken away by some super boss, it will be completely ruined...
buzzing
In the void, the formation flag was still breathing divine light. Runes rushed out from the ground one after another. Along with the rays of light, they continued to merge into the flag. Even the rotten holes on the flag were blooming at this moment.
The brilliance is like a bottomless black hole, swallowing the essence...
Jiang Ming began to clean up the battlefield with his black sword, searching for the storage ring left behind in the battle and the treasures stored in the camp.
"There is actually a medicinal field..." Jiang Ming walked to a corner of the camp and couldn't help but smile.
The medicine field covers two or three acres, and there are rare elixirs planted one after another. They are cared for and thrived. They must be monks from these cave heavens and paradise, transplanted from various places in the ruins, and temporarily planted here.
"Dao Wen Golden Grass, Ming Jade Ginseng, Ningji Fruit..."
Jiang Ming did not hesitate to pick these elixirs one by one and put them away, and the joy in his eyes became more and more intense.
Most of these elixirs are actually rare medicines that are of great use to foundation-building monks. Some can increase their cultivation, and some can stabilize their spiritual foundation...
Any one of these elixirs would be extremely rare in the outside world, and not many people would be qualified to use them in the Cave Heaven Paradise. However, they are planted on several acres here.
"This is definitely collected from the blessed places such as Cangming Cave Heaven and Lingcan Mountain after spending countless efforts..." Jiang Ming said to himself, but his mood became more and more cheerful.
Thank you so much for such a generous gift.
Jiang Ming directly picked off two longan-sized Ningji fruits, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice, and then swallowed them.
Wow
The pure medicinal power immediately seeped into his limbs and bones, filling Jiang Ming's spiritual energy that had been somewhat depleted by the battle.
The most important thing is that there is still a trace of strange and incomparable medicinal power, flowing along the meridians, and finally gathering in the spiritual base in the Dantian.
Buzz…
The spiritual base rotates slowly, and one avenue rune after another flashes, swallowing and absorbing the power of the medicine.
Jiang Ming can clearly feel that his spiritual foundation is becoming more solid and tenacious, making his cultivation foundation more solid.
"The more stable the spiritual foundation is, the higher the success rate of forming pills in the future... This is simply the elixir that all foundation-building monks dream of." Jiang Ming's eyes flickered, and he took another one without hesitation, and continued to pick the medicine in the field.
Various elixirs.
Wherever he went, he directly dug three feet into the ground, not even leaving any medicinal roots. He also dug out the soil for cultivating the elixirs and sealed them in jade boxes, leaving them for re-cultivation in the future.
This is not the Yunmeng Mountain of the past. When collecting medicinal herbs, it is important to leave roots behind... Regarding this enemy's stronghold, Jiang Ming naturally tried his best to buy it at the lowest price. He took away everything he could and destroyed everything he couldn't... directly destroyed.
"The elixirs in this medicine field can probably support my cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, and completely consolidate the foundation of the foundation building realm without any flaws..."
Jiang Ming felt a little happy in his heart. This was really a great gift. No wonder they all like to go on adventures. After completing this task, he would be able to drink tea and practice in peace for many years.
A moment later, Jiang Ming had just dug up the entire medicinal field, and Black Sword suddenly shouted from deep in the camp: "Come quickly... there is a secret warehouse here!"
"This guy is smarter than a dog when it comes to finding treasures..." Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and strode over quickly.
boom……
A bronze door was blasted open, and Jiang Ming stepped into the cave deep into the mountain.
"Tsk tsk... It is indeed a stronghold that has been in operation for decades!"
After seeing the scene in the secret vault clearly, Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up with a look of satisfaction.
This is a huge cave secret vault. Different from the darkness as imagined, the secret vault is as bright as day. The mountain walls and the top of the head are inlaid with magical lamps, illuminating the entire secret vault.
Piles of wooden boxes, jade boxes, etc. of various sizes are displayed in the secret vault. There are even various strange stone pillars and bronze tablets, inscribed with various ancient characters and strange runes...
"What a painstaking effort!" Jiang Ming marveled. It is conceivable that most of the treasures in this entire area have been collected by these cave heavens.
"Stone pillars, statues, etc., a few books are of no use..." Black Sword circled around those ancient stone pillars and other objects, and said: "But those copper tablets or other metal products are not ordinary iron. They have lasted for thousands of years.
It is not rotten. It is a rare item. You can collect some and use it as the main material when refining the formation in the future. The effect will be extraordinary..."
When Jiang Ming heard this, there was nothing to hesitate about. He immediately waved his hand and put all those things into his storage ring.
"Huh? This jade monument..." The black sword suddenly stopped in front of a jade monument that was as tall as a person, revealing a strange color.
The jade stele is white and square, with hundreds of pale golden runes engraved on its surface. It seems to be an unknown scripture.
Jiang Ming followed it and stopped in front of the jade stele. He looked at the runes on the stele and was stunned: "These runes that look like flowers, birds, insects, and fish... seem to be found in the cave where I met you, Brother Jian."
Once.”
Moreover, Jiang Ming remembered that the spells cast by the two talented women at Zhuyue Lake seemed to contain mysterious runes that had never been seen before...
"This is an extremely ancient rune. In the last era, it was discovered from an ancient ruins..." Black Sword explained: "My former master wanted to use these runes to put it away."
Although he failed in trying to survive again...but these runes contain incomparable miraculous power."
Jiang Ming was startled. Could it be that the origin of Zhuyue Lake was scarier than everyone imagined?
Lu Xiaoyu was accepted as a disciple by Zhuyue Lake, and he didn’t know whether it was good or bad...
"But I have never seen this jade tablet before!" Black Sword then said slowly: "The runes discovered by the master back then were only a few dozen, and they were still recorded on a piece of rotten dead wood... This jade tablet
The runes on the stele may have much more surprising origins than those discovered by the owner back then."
"Brother Jian, can you interpret it?" Jiang Ming felt a little hot and asked quickly.
The owner of the Black Sword back then was definitely an extremely talented person. He could pin his hope of surviving the catastrophe on these runes when he died. This shows how powerful these runes are.
If it can be deciphered, it will definitely have amazing effects.
"No one can interpret it!" Black Sword sighed: "The origin of these runes is too mysterious. Even the owner has been groping for hundreds of years before he figured out some uses... According to him, these runes can only be
The meaning is indescribable and needs to be comprehended and felt by oneself...I have never learned this."
Jiang Ming was immediately poured cold water on him. It took hundreds of years to create such a stunning talent... these hundreds of runes would probably take even longer.
"But what I don't lack most is time..." Jiang Ming grunted and put the jade tablet into the storage ring without hesitation.
No matter what, these treasures cannot be left alone...
Immediately, Jiang Ming began a large-scale sweep. Whether it was magical weapons, spiritual materials, scriptures, elixirs, unknown strange objects, etc., he swept them all away and completely emptied them...
In the end, only some huge stone pillars, stone statues, etc. were left. The black sword did not waste it. It penetrated one by one and completely sucked out the essence contained in these things, turning them into stone powder...
Jiang Ming nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left in large strides.
Outside the secret vault, the entire formation was almost broken, and all the essence of the spiritual materials that maintained the formation had been completely absorbed by the formation flag.
Wow
The formation flag swung, and the gray-white flag surface was surrounded by a layer of silver-white light, flowing endlessly like a swimming dragon. Countless runes flashed and loomed in the flag surface, and could erupt with terrifying power at any time.
brush……
Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and waved, and the formation flag immediately dropped down, shrunk into a small flag as big as a palm, and fell into his palm.
"Now with a single sweep of this flag, I'm afraid I can kill a group of foundation-building monks!" Jiang Ming whispered, and put it away with satisfaction.
"It's almost...time to leave!"
Jiang Ming looked at the messy camp and nodded with satisfaction: "This camp is unattended, and no one knows if things are missing... I have good intentions, so I worked tirelessly to save these things for you fellow Taoists for a few days."
call……
The cold wind was biting, and there was no answer for the corpses on the ground. A few pairs of angry eyes seemed to be expressing silent protest.
"No one objected. It seems that everyone agreed..." Jiang Ming smiled, turned around and left in large strides.
"He is a lunatic..." Black Sword got into the storage ring and silently cursed, everyone is dead, who can oppose you?
…
boom!
At the distant skyline, the terrifying flames filled the sky, and the edges could not be seen. The power was transmitted in wisps, which made people feel heartbroken.
"That's...another area?" Jiang Ming stood above a snow valley, looking at the extremely distant place, with a solemn look in his eyes.
According to the information he has obtained these days, it should be a higher-level area, closer to the core of the Black Stone Ruins, and capable of accommodating the entry of Danjie monks.
Of course, foundation-building monks can also enter, but the danger there is far greater than here. Even the pill-forming monks may die. If a foundation-building monk enters it, it is no different than a piece of grass...
"Wuhen, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked towards the front of the snow valley.
This direction is heading towards the core-forming area...
