"I guess this thing was pulled out by the gold-swallowing beast."
Su Xiaofan rubbed a grain of gold essence with his hands and said, "The gold-swallowing beast not only eats poisonous insects, but also minerals. In all likelihood, the gold essence is its secretion."
Su Xiaofan didn't mind being dirty, and a pound of such a good thing wouldn't be too much for him. Unfortunately, it was difficult to raise a wild Chaofan, otherwise if he kept the gold-swallowing beast, he would lose it just by secreting gold essence.
"Put it away quickly if you can use it."
Xuanrui looked disgusted when her son understood where the golden spirit came from. She didn't understand that the two men were so interested in the secretions of an animal.
"Dad, we have to find a restricted area to stay."
Su Xiaofan put the golden spirit away and said: "With our cultivation level, if we don't absorb spiritual energy for a long time, the movement of spiritual energy in the body will feel somewhat sluggish."
The lower the cultivation level, the more comfortable it is to stay outside.
For example, practitioners in the Qi training period will not feel any changes even if they do not enter the restricted area, because these people have a very weak ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
When you reach the foundation building stage, you will feel that your cultivation is progressing slowly if you stay outside, but you will not feel any discomfort.
Only Yang Shen cultivators are very sensitive to spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy running in the body also needs to be replenished with spiritual energy from time to time.
Therefore, no matter whether they are Yang Shen realm cultivators or Saint-level extraordinary beings, there are very few people who stay outside the restricted area. It is estimated that currently it is just Su Xiaofan and his family of three.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't absorb spiritual energy."
Xuanrui whispered that she liked the feeling of living outside as a family, and whether she practiced or not was not that important to Xuanrui.
As for things like stagnant cultivation, Xuan Rui doesn't care much at all.
She was not a cultivator in the first place, but her current cultivation level was the result of Su Xiaofan forcing her to come to the hospital in order to save her.
"Mom, in this world, if you don't become stronger, you may not be able to guarantee your safety."
Hearing what his mother said, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh. The spiritual energy in the world has begun to revive, and biological evolution is an inevitable trend.
No matter how hard the relevant departments take precautions, they cannot resist this trend. After all, there are still many creatures in places where humans cannot survive.
Therefore, if you want to live a relatively comfortable life in the future, you must have strong strength.
"Mom understands, I just don't want you to work too hard."
Xuan Rui nodded. She didn't understand these principles. What she said just now was just what she thought in her heart. It would not stop her husband and son from doing anything.
"Which restricted area do you want to target?"
Su Weixuan's mobile phone also received information related to the restricted area forwarded to him by Su Xiaofan, but he had not started researching it yet as he was spending time with his wife.
"Dad, how about the Death Zone?"
Su Xiaofan was not very big-minded, and he suffered setbacks in the death zone one after another, which made him want to regain his place.
And despite the lightning and thunder all day long in the Death Zone, there are a lot of good things inside.
Su Xiaofan was chatting with his father a few days ago and heard that there is a high possibility of Thunder Spirit Flower deep in the Death Forbidden Zone.
According to Su Weixuan, there are two major life-and-death hurdles that need to be overcome for golden elixir cultivators to break through.
One is the thunder tribulation. To break through the golden elixir cultivators, they need to go through the thunder tribulation. Only when both the physical body and the spiritual consciousness pass through the thunder tribulation can they break through the elixir and become an infant.
Ninety-nine percent of Yang Shen cultivators failed to break through, and more than half of them were because their spiritual consciousness was not strong enough or their bodies were weak, and they were directly destroyed by thunder.
There are still half of the cultivators who cannot survive their inner demon tribulation, which is even worse than the thunder tribulation. These two major life and death barriers, even in ancient times, stopped most of them.
The cultivator.
The Thunder Spirit Flower mentioned by Su Weixuan can be integrated into the physical body after being taken, enhancing the lightning properties of the physical body and increasing the chance of successfully overcoming the tribulation by 30%.
After hearing what his father said, Su Xiaofan has been thinking about the death penalty area.
After all, my father is already a cultivator of the late Golden Elixir, so the matter of being struck by lightning can also be put on the agenda, and Lei Linghua is very important.
In fact, Su Xiaofan is not far from this realm, and his current repair value is enough to cultivate the Yang Shen technique.
As long as the accumulation is successful, Su Xiaofan's cultivation level will even surpass Su Weixuan.
Because the skills cultivated through the system will lay an extremely solid foundation, whether it is spiritual consciousness, physical body or combat power, it will be much stronger than those of the same level.
"No, I've seen that old cow in the Death Zone."
Su Weixuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "With my current level of cultivation, I cannot fully control the Qiankun Cauldron, and I may not be able to trap that old cow."
"Dad, you just need to trap it for a few seconds."
Su Xiaofan said: "It doesn't even take a few seconds, just a moment. I'll kill it!"
The natal flying sword was used several times, but it was invincible, killing saint-level extraordinary beings effortlessly, which greatly increased Su Xiaofan's confidence.
"Your natal flying sword may not be able to kill that old cow."
Su Weixuan gave a bitter smile. His son was walking too smoothly on the path of cultivation, and he lacked a little awe in his heart.
"The old cow is in the death zone. It can withstand lightning bombardment. Its defense is unfathomable. Are you sure you can move it?"
Su Weixuan glanced at his son, "If you can't kill it instantly, then it will be us and my husband who will die. Do you think this risk is worth taking?"
"not worth!"
Before Su Xiaofan opened his mouth, Xuan Rui on the side was unwilling. She was not willing to watch her son and husband fight hard.
"Xiaofan, change to a restricted area. Mom doesn't agree to go to that forbidden area of death."
Xuanrui became sullen towards her son for the first time, and her tone of voice became much more serious.
"Okay, Mom, I won't go if I don't go. Don't be angry."
Su Xiaofan nodded helplessly. He admitted that his father was right. He was not sure about killing the old cow now.
"Don't be anxious. When you reach the late Yang Shen stage and refine the gold into the flying sword, we may have a chance."
Su Weixuan also wanted to get the Thunder Spirit Flower in the Death Forbidden Zone, but he was much more prudent than his son and was unwilling to take risks if he was not sure of killing.
"In the later stage of Yang Shen, it's okay."
Su Xiaofan's eyes flashed. The later stage of Yang Shen was not difficult for him, because he still had 19,000 repair points, and the cultivation of Yang Shen technique only required 10,000 points.
With the remaining 9,000 points, Su Xiaofan can cultivate the thunder method in his palm to perfection, and can also refine his own flying sword to quickly increase his combat power.
However, if this happens, Su Xiaofan's repair value will probably bottom out again, and he will have to go all over the world to top up the repair system with krypton gold.
"Don't think so much, let's find a place to practice in peace first."
Little did Su Weixuan know that his son had not given up.
In his opinion, it would take at least three to five years for Su Xiaofan to improve his cultivation to the late Yangshen stage.
Su Weixuan thought for a moment and said, "I do know of a restricted area that is not on the list given by Minister Hua."
"Well, Dad, where is it? Has the relevant department not surveyed the restricted area?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The characteristics of the restricted area were too obvious. As soon as he appeared, he would definitely be noticed by the relevant departments.
"That place is underground. I don't know if it counts as a restricted area. Well, it probably does."
Su Weixuan smiled bitterly, "That place is more like a space passage. The spiritual energy was abundant back then. If it is still there now, it might be a good place for cultivation."
"Dad, after talking for a long time, where is that place?"
Su Xiaofan became curious after what his father said, and even Xuan Rui looked sideways.
“In the Mangshan Underground Palace!”
Su Weixuan closed his mouth and used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice: "I entered there by mistake, otherwise how could my cultivation level improve so quickly..."
It turned out that after Su Weixuan accepted the inheritance of Sujiacun, he had the same whim as Su Xiaofan and wanted to know if there were ghosts in the world.
Sujia Village is at the foot of Mang Mountain. If you want to look for ghosts, there are graves everywhere. There is nothing else in Mang Mountain but there are many cemeteries.
So Su Weixuan specially chose that late night time to explore Mang Mountain at night.
The ghost Su Weixuan was not seen, but one night it rained heavily, and when Su Weixuan hid in a cave to take shelter, the cave floor suddenly collapsed, bringing Su Weixuan into an underground palace.
Su Weixuan was nervous and excited at the time. It is said that there is a passage to the underworld in Mang Mountain, and ghosts may be seen here.
However, the result was that Su Weixuan was a little disappointed. The underground palace seemed to be a place of inheritance in ancient times, but it did not have the inherited skills.
Su Weixuan discovered that there is a place in this inheritance place with very abundant spiritual energy. It was there that he advanced to the foundation building stage.
"Dad, why do you say that is a space passage? Where will it lead?" Su Xiaofan asked.
"I don't know, there is a teleportation array there, but I can't activate it."
Su Weixuan recalled what he saw back then, "I suspect that the teleportation array is where the ancient cultivators left, and it may lead to another dimension.
The inheritance that Su Weixuan received is even older than Su Xiaofan's "Pengxuan Cave Heaven" inheritance. There is no teleportation array in Su Xiaofan's inheritance.
"Is there really a teleportation array?"
Su Xiaofan was a little distracted. He now doubted whether those who wrote fairy novels were ancient immortal cultivators.
In other words, it could be said that the descendants of the ancient sect passed down the inheritance and did not do well in modern times, so they became migrant workers writing novels. Well, this possibility is very high.
"Yes, it's also called a moving formation."
Su Weixuan smiled bitterly and said: "But my inheritance only mentioned some superficial details, and I don't know how to arrange it."
"My inheritance does have a method for arranging teleportation arrays, but our cultivation is too weak."
Xuan Rui suddenly said: "If you want to set up a teleportation array, you must be a Nascent Soul cultivator who can stabilize the teleportation channel through the power of the Nascent Soul..."
Xuan Rui's inheritance seems to be one level higher than Su Weixuan's, and he even has the method to arrange the teleportation array.
But according to what Xuan Rui said, a teleportation array that is not stabilized by the power of the Nascent Soul is purely deceptive. The person who teleports will be cut into pieces by the space immediately.
Of course, it was difficult to use teleportation arrays to deceive people in ancient times, because even golden elixir cultivators could easily sense the coercion of the power of the Nascent Soul, and the authenticity of the teleportation arrays could be easily distinguished at a glance.
"Dad, you have been gone for so many years, is the underground palace still there?"
Su Xiaofan thought for a moment and said: "If there is spiritual energy in the underground palace, extraordinary creatures can evolve after so many years."
"No, there is a formation protection there."
Su Weixuan shook his head, "The place where I fell was outside the underground palace. To enter the underground palace, you need to break the formation..."
"Dad, do you still have formations in your inheritance?"
Su Xiaofan has now begun to curse the inheritance of "Pengxuan Cave Heaven" in his heart. There is nothing except the skills. The people who left the inheritance must be perfunctory.
"There are some formation inheritances."
Su Weixuan glanced at his son pitifully, "I will pass all this on to you later. Logically speaking, your inheritance should not be weak. Maybe it is not complete."
Regarding Su Xiaofan's inheritance, Su Weixuan already knew that "Pengxuan Cave Heaven" was listed as the second cave heaven blessed land in ancient times, but now it seems that the name is somewhat untrue.
"Son, mom will give you the information on the teleportation array later." Xuan Rui also comforted her son.
"Actually, Master also knows formations."
Su Xiaofan said feebly, Jing Shizhen knew some formations, but they were all wild and not inherited.
Su Xiaofan discovered that when practitioners with similar cultivation levels are together, it is indeed very helpful to improve their knowledge or cultivation experience.
After chatting with his parents for a long time, Su Xiaofan learned a lot of things that he didn't know before, and it was impossible for Su Xiaofan to know these things from his master.
From this, Su Xiaofan finally understood that what he saw in his inheritance often showed practitioners visiting friends, perhaps looking for channels to discuss and communicate.
During the conversation, time passed quickly, and in the evening, Hualong prepared three new tents for them.
This made Master Su Weixuan's perception of Hualong suddenly worsen. He and Xuan Rui were husband and wife, so why not prepare a two-person tent?
Hualong naturally did not understand Su Weixuan's desire to be by his wife's side at all times, and he was unable to satisfy Su Weixuan's wish.
There was no talking all night. When they got up the next day, they found that the fire in the Gu insect restricted area had been completely extinguished, and the group of people came to the entrance of the restricted area again.
"Could the poisonous insects escape?"
Hualong looked at the two cultivators guarding the entrance to the restricted area.
"No, not even one."
One of the cultivators smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Su formed a wall of fire at the entrance, and all the poisonous insects were blocked in that place."
Viewed from the outside with the naked eye, the originally lush restricted area has now become scorched black, and an indescribable burnt smell comes from the direction of the entrance to the restricted area.
"Dad, what are you so angry about? You are so domineering."
Seeing that the big tree that was originally tens of meters high was burned down to the point where no trunk was left, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
"Taoism is really hot, but I can't do it with my own cultivation level."
Su Weixuan sent a message to his son, "I used the power of the Qiankun Cauldron to transform spiritual power into real fire. When this real fire encounters spiritual energy, it will burn brighter and stronger."
"Alas, this Pengxuandong is so naive and stingy that he doesn't want to leave a treasure for future generations of disciples."
Su Xiaofan sighed and went to Pengxuan Cave Heaven, but he didn't get any benefits except for the martial arts. If he hadn't become a disciple of the Sword Sect, he would only be able to use the offensive technique of Palm Thunder.
"Let's go in and take a look..."
Su Weixuan walked towards the restricted area and said, "If you block your sense of taste, the smell inside is probably not that good."
After hearing Su Weixuan's words, almost everyone's taste buds were blocked immediately.
Not only that, cultivators with a more flexible mind simply took a sip of true energy and changed their breathing into inner breath.
With the cultivation level of a foundation-building cultivator, there is no problem in maintaining the state of breathing for three to five hours.
"As expected, all the spiritual energy in this restricted area was burned away."
After entering the restricted area, Su Xiaofan's expression changed. Only the innermost part of the entire restricted area had some spiritual energy fluctuations, but the rest of the area was clean and there was no trace of spiritual energy.
Wherever he stepped on the forbidden area, there were thick ashes everywhere. Su Xiaofan knew that these should be left behind after the poisonous insects were burned to death.
The real fire released by Su Weixuan burned fiercely, but without the burning carrier, it extinguished quickly. Now there is no trace of flame in the restricted area.
"Minister Hua, the ashes of these poisons can be cleaned up manually. They are excellent materials for farmland and can also be used to cultivate elixirs."
Su Weixuan glanced at Hualong and found something for him to do.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for reminding me. I'll find someone to clean it up later."
For Hualong, this is a good thing. In the past, they could only venture into various restricted areas to collect elixirs. Now that there is a Qinling restricted area, they can try to cultivate elixirs.
"Xiao Rui, it's over there."
Su Weixuan determined the direction, took his wife's hand, and walked quickly towards a hillside.
When we got closer to the hillside, it was also a scene of ashes.
Su Weixuan waved his right hand, and a whirlwind suddenly whipped up on the ground, sweeping away all the ashes hundreds of meters away.
The soil above the ground was also a little charred, and Xuan Rui couldn't help but feel sad when she saw it, because this was where her wooden house used to be.
"Xiaofan, my mother has lived here since she was a child."
Xuan Rui had tears in her eyes, "That's your aunt's house over there, and they are gone now..."
"Mom, dad and I are still here."
Su Xiaofan hugged his mother's shoulders and said, "Where are the tombs of grandpa and grandma? I'll kowtow to them."
"It's right over there."
Su Weixuan pointed to several small mounds not far away. Decades later, the mounds covered by vines were still preserved.
Su Xiaofan took a few steps forward, and did not mind the dirt on the ground. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times in front of each mound.
Su Weixuan supported his wife and walked over. The couple knelt down together and paid homage to their ancestors.
Hua Long and others knew that this was the place where Xuan Rui had lived since childhood. Needless to say, the person they were worshiping was so they all came over and bowed.
"Minister Hua, I need to ask you a favor."
After Minister Hua and others finished paying their respects, Su Xiaofan said, "Can you bring in some stones from outside and help us repair these cemeteries?"
"Yes, yes, I need to repair it." Xuan Rui, who was feeling sad, nodded repeatedly when she heard her son's words.
"No problem, I'll make arrangements now, and the stones will be delivered by the afternoon at the latest."
Not to mention getting some stones, even if Su Xiaofan wanted to use jade to repair these tombs, Hualong would have to do it for him.
After giving some instructions to one of his subordinates, that person immediately ran out of the restricted area and made a phone call. Hualong has always been very strong in executing the matters Su Xiaofan told him.
"Mom, we'll be leaving for two days late. We can wait until grandpa and grandma's tomb is repaired before we leave."
Su Xiaofan's eyes looked at a mountaintop several kilometers away. If he remembered correctly, the body of the gold-swallowing beast was still in a cave in the mountain.
With a thought, Su Xiaofan's consciousness came to the cave. Just as his father said, wherever there was air, it was burned by real fire.
The rock walls of the cave were turned into scorched earth, but the long-dead gold-swallowing beast surprised Su Xiaofan.
The skin and flesh of this gold-swallowing beast has disappeared, but its scales have not been burned, but instead show a golden luster.
"This stuff is good. It is invulnerable to all poisons, water and fire. It can be used to refine outer armor."
Su Weixuan followed his son's consciousness and immediately spotted the burned gold-swallowing beast with only its scales remaining.
"Dad, is there an inside and outside of this armor?" Su Xiaofan looked at his father.
"Of course, we are wearing inner armor, which can keep out the cold and resist spiritual attacks."
Su Weixuan knew that his son's basic knowledge was very weak, so he immediately explained: "The outer armor is very effective against attacks inside the house, but it's just a bit exaggerated when worn on the body."
"Yes, we have done experiments before. The outer armor made of extraordinary creature scales can resist the attack of cannonballs."
Hualong heard the conversation between the two and joined in the discussion. The relevant departments had also killed some extraordinary creatures with scales.
"Waijia, let's forget it."
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about how he looked in a suit of shining golden armor.
You must be low-key as a person, and you must be low-key as a cultivator.
If he appeared on Green Island wearing that outfit, he might be regarded as an alien by some country's satellite, and maybe a missile would hit him.
