Lu Xuan's figure was like a floating light, passing by at great speed.
As early as when he was in the medicine garden, he noticed something was wrong in this secret place.
From the mutated spiritual seed information, we learned that the fifth-grade Longevity Flat Peach has been affected by the evil aura for a long time, and thus mutated into the Yilongevity Flat Peach.
This means that there are evil beings in the secret realm, and the aura is extraordinary.
After entering the jade house, the four treasures caused a lot of competition, and Lu Xuan also noticed the mystery inside.
Rather than saying that the restriction seals the four treasures, it is better to say that it seals the countless black energy at the bottom.
As for the four treasures, it can be seen from the magical appearance that they act on the black energy in the form of absorption, suppression, and refining respectively.
The combination of these factors means that there is an extremely powerful evil existence hidden in the black air at the bottom. Breaking the restriction and taking out the treasure will naturally release the evil aura inside.
Lu Xuan didn't give it a chance to regain its strength. He directly opened the fifth-grade "Pure Yang True Fire Barrel" and used the remnant soul of the Golden Crow inside to release the pure Yang flame of the most powerful Yang, burning the evil aura inside.
All.
As for using the precious opportunity of the Golden Crow's remnant soul in the secret realm, Lu Xuan didn't feel much regret. Anyway, after using it, you can still use the pure Yang flame to recharge it.
The most important thing is to save your life.
In the process of leaving the deserted island, Lu Xuan discovered that there were already many family monks and casual cultivators on the island.
He found a remote corner, took off the fourth-grade Qianyi mask, and resumed his identity as an ordinary psychic planter.
Without any further delay, they went straight through the broken water wall and returned to the Song Family Treasure Ship.
"Uncle Lu, you are finally out!"
The moment Song Yu, the head of the Song family, saw Lu Xuan's figure, he immediately relaxed.
Although he had great confidence in Lu Xuan, he still felt uneasy in his heart.
If Lu Xuan had an accident in the secret realm and was seriously injured or even died, it would be difficult for him to explain to the Tianjian Sect.
"Well, I was lucky enough to survive."
Lu Xuan sat down and said calmly.
"Uncle, what opportunities can you find in the secret realm?"
Song Yu tentatively said.
"There are too many foundation-building monks, and there are many whose cultivation levels are far stronger than mine. It's good to be able to come out safely.
As for the opportunity, I just got rid of a few third-level monsters and obtained some elixirs and seeds."
Lu Xuan said casually.
He introduced the Ice Fantasy Toad and the strange stone formation to the monks of the Song family in detail, so that they could avoid taking some detours after entering.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I didn't expect to see you again outside the secret realm."
Not long after Lu Xuan returned, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu came hand in hand. After seeing Lu Xuan, their expressions relaxed a lot.
"Where did Fellow Daoist Lu go after passing through the stone maze? Why haven't I seen you?"
The three of them shared what they saw and heard in the secret realm, and Zhou Bingyu asked curiously.
"After I went through all the trouble and walked out of the weird stone formation, I originally wanted to go directly into the palace, meet up with the two Taoist friends, and search for treasures."
"I didn't expect that a spiritual insect that I usually raise would suddenly have an abnormal reaction."
"I followed the instructions of the spirit insect and entered a remote medicine garden and found some spiritual seeds and elixirs."
Lu Xuan said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.
"After thoroughly searching the medicine garden, I entered the palace much slower than most monks. I just walked around the bottom floor of the palace."
"Later I wanted to take a look at the core area above, and accidentally discovered that more than one foundation-building monk died in a passage. There were powerful aura fluctuations above the palace. After repeated weighing, I had no choice but to give up and go to other places in the secret realm to hunt monsters and search for monsters.
Miraculous medicine.”
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
"The two of us did stay on the top floor of the palace for a long time."
Shi Zhong nodded lightly.
"The two fellow Taoists are worthy of being from a large sect. They are like dragons and phoenixes among people. They are able to seize chance treasures from those monks in the middle and even later stages of foundation building."
"I wonder what chance treasures the two fellow Taoists obtained inside? Can you let Mr. Lu see it?"
Lu Xuan complimented and asked.
"Friend Lu Dao is overly praised."
A trace of extremely obscure embarrassment flashed in Shi Zhong's eyes.
"Although we entered the core area of the secret realm together, our strength is at the bottom among several monks. Although we tried our best to fight for it, in the end we still couldn't win over those powerful casual cultivators who were in the middle and late stages of foundation building."
"Really, that would be a pity."
Lu Xuan said with a very regretful tone.
"The treasures are right in front of you, but you just missed them. Two fellow Taoists, alas..."
"It's a pity that my strength is low and I am not qualified to compete for the treasures. Otherwise, if I join forces with two fellow Taoists, I might be able to obtain one or two high-grade treasures."
He finally sighed.
"It's already great that Fellow Daoist Lu has this kind of intention."
Shi Zhongwen said.
"As for the regret, although it is unavoidable, it can be accepted. After all, the gap in strength is too big, we also have many treasures, and our hearts are not so urgent."
"The most important thing is to be able to save your own life."
"Friend Lu Dao, you don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time. Except for the two of us, the rest of us are in the middle and late stages of foundation building."
"There is another one who is particularly abominable. On the surface, his cultivation level is equal to ours, but in fact, he possesses a powerful sword talisman that can easily kill a mid-stage foundation-building monk. He can kill a mid-stage foundation-building monk in one face-to-face encounter!"
Shi Zhong gritted his teeth and said, extremely disdainful of the last strange monk's behavior of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Can you easily kill a sword talisman in the middle stage of foundation building? Even in the Tianjian Sect, it is a rare treasure. I didn't expect it to appear in this secret realm."
In his heart, Lu Xuan regarded Shi Zhong's attitude as envy and jealousy towards him, and echoed in his tone.
"I don't know what the outcome of their fight will be in the end? Who will get the four treasures in the end..."
"Looking at the power of the pure white flame at the end, many monks should have died."
Shi Zhong sighed softly.
"According to Fellow Taoist Shi, more than one monk in the middle and late stages of foundation building died in the secret realm."
Lu Xuan shook his head gently.
"The secret realm is really too dangerous. People like me are better suited to cultivate spiritual plants and raise spiritual beasts."
A trace of lingering fear flashed across his face, and he laughed at himself, as if he was very lucky to have returned safely from the secret realm and saved his life.
"Most of the most important things in the secret realm have been discovered. If you enter again, you can only hunt some monsters and obtain elixirs and materials. There is no need to think about anything else."
Shi Zhong concluded.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, we both need to go back and rest for a while. After a while, when the storm in the secret realm subsides, I will come with you to go fishing for sea fish and sea beasts."
"By the way, there is also the essence essence liquid that I promised you before. I got it on a small island before entering the secret realm. I just took this opportunity to give it to you."
Shi Zhong took out a bottle of Qingling liquid from his storage bag.
