Jin Xiaotang mentioned a person who might have some knowledge about ancient times, and that was Duan Mulan, who once lost a hundred thousand merit in a bet.
"Yes, that's her. You may not know her background. Like you, my junior brother, she is not from a heritage. She was just an ordinary girl thirty years ago. It was by chance that she discovered a relic from ancient times.
After I entered the world of spiritual practice and was later recruited by the department, I sold the location of the ruins to the department. It is said that I received two merit awards equivalent to the value of the ruins. Otherwise, how could I have lost 100,000 merit credits so easily?
."
Seeing that Jin Xiaotang was very sure, Xue Chen came to Lanting, which was Duan Mulan's palace in the headquarters.
"It's you, but you're a rare visitor. Junior Brother Xue, please come in. No need to be polite."
When Xue Chen entered the yard, he saw all kinds of orchids. There were so many types that it could be said to be an orchid museum.
Duan Mulan was sitting deep in the orchid bush, like the orchid turned into flower essence, with a lazy posture and her bright eyes looking over lightly.
"As the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Junior Brother Xue is a very famous person now. He suddenly comes to Yishe. What are your orders?"
Feeling the dark and uncertain flavor in Duan Mulan's tone, Xue Chen said calmly: "I don't dare to accept the order. I came here today because I want to know something about Senior Sister Duanmu. Is it okay?"
"explain."
"Some information about ancient times."
Duan Mulan smiled: "Then you have found the right person. There are not many people here who know more about the ancient times than me. After all, I have personally entered the ruins of the ancient times. That is really... interesting."
But before Xue Chen opened his mouth, Duan Mulan said again that she did understand somewhat, but she had no interest in talking today.
"But because of the bet with Senior Brother Jin?" Xue Chen was not an idiot. It was clear that Duan Mulan was not in a good mood when he saw him, and there was no intersection between the two. The only time was that incident.
Duan Mulan snorted softly: "I asked knowingly, but because of you, I lost a hundred thousand meritorious deeds. It still hurts to think about it now. Do you think I will be in the mood to chat with you?"
Xue Chen was speechless secretly, thinking to himself, after hearing Jin Xiaotang say that you proposed the bet first, of course, there was no need to say this.
"Senior Sister Duanmu, this is an injustice. I can't give up my practice just because of the bet? I also feel sorry for Senior Sister Duanmu losing the meritorious service, but I heard that Senior Sister Duanmu revealed the location of the ancient ruins.
I have received a lot of merit, I think one hundred thousand merit is not enough to make Senior Sister Duanmu particularly heartbroken."
"You know it very well. Having said that, there is a saying that nothing can be done but nothing. The one hundred thousand merits are already my last capital. Otherwise, I would not fight with Feng Meng'er in the Immortal Platform to get more merits."
Having said this, Xue Chen had no choice but to say goodbye, but was stopped by Duan Mulan.
"I can tell you about the ancient things that I know about, but Junior Brother Xue also owes me a favor. If he becomes successful in the future, he should support Senior Sister."
"Senior sister is joking."
"Come in and try my unique Thousand Orchid Tea. How does it taste?"
The taste of Qianlan tea is indeed very good. After entering the mouth, it seems that the fragrance of thousands of orchids spreads in the mouth, which makes people have endless aftertaste and can't help but clasp their hands in admiration.
Duan Mulan asked, why do you want to know about ancient times?
Xue Chen talked about some of his energy after visiting the Shaoyang Sect as a guest.
"Not only the Shaoyang Sect, but other inheritances that have been passed down for more than two thousand years also have some rare artifacts left over from the ancient times. On the contrary, it is a department that has only been established for half a year. It does not know much about the ancient times. Fortunately,
With the people from all over the country as our informants, we have discovered several large and small relics, which can be regarded as catching up from behind."
"How did Senior Sister Duanmu know so clearly?" Xue Chen asked.
"Oh, that's because, although there are sometimes some very precious things left in the ruins of ancient times, there may also be dangers. Only experienced people can walk through them more safely. Because of my experience, I entered
The department has also been following the development of newly discovered ruins, so naturally we will know more."
"Appreciate further details."
Duan Mulan casually talked about some relics left by practitioners in ancient times. She seemed to be familiar with it, but it shocked Xue Chen's heart.
Today's spiritual practice world has developed from the remnants of the ancient spiritual practice civilization. Naturally, the two are very similar, but they also have many differences.
"Although those ruins have been dilapidated, with only a few claws left, it can still be vaguely seen that the ancient cultivation civilization was far more powerful than it is now. Some remaining data even show that in ancient times, although there were not many soul-sacrifice realms
, but it will never be as rare as it is now. As for the Danhua realm, it is naturally more prosperous. Some people even inferred that at that time, everyone was a practitioner, and there was no such thing as an ordinary person."
Xue Chen was shocked: "Really? But if that's the case, the spiritual energy on the earth..."
"Good question. Junior Brother Xue is really sharp and grasped the key point directly. Indeed, even if you break through to the Soul Sacrifice Realm, you still need spiritual energy, or even more. Any spell consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy. I'm afraid
, this is also the reason why the ancient cultivation civilization disappeared. The spiritual energy resources on the earth were exhausted, and in order to compete for the spiritual energy resources, fighting broke out among the inheritance!"
When more and more practitioners die with the killing, a critical point will eventually be reached, and the spiritual energy resources on the earth are enough for the remaining practitioners.
But the battle still hasn't stopped. It's not because of aura anymore, but because of hatred. The previous killings have caused too much hatred. It's like a machine that devours people. Once it is started, it cannot be stopped. It will only get worse and worse until all of them are destroyed.
.
"All of this is analyzed by each lineage based on the remaining data obtained. This is what happened. The ancient cultivation civilization gradually died out in the hundreds of years of killing. After a long, long time, the new cultivation civilization
It appeared, which is the beginning of many inheritances today."
Xue Chen imagined a picture in his mind. It was a long-lasting war between practitioners. Everyone was burdened with hatred. They would either kill their enemies or be killed by others. They would never stop fighting.
There is no termination.
Just thinking about it, he felt a chill in his heart. It was really terrible. It was a complete hell on earth, desperate and terrifying.
"Could it be that all the practitioners are dead? How is it possible? It is impossible that the last two people left will die together?" He looked at Duan Mulan.
Duan Mulan smiled sweetly and said that this was not what she knew. After all, it was already in ancient times. It was so long ago that no one really knew what happened. Everything was inferred based on the remaining ruins.
"What is certain is that the cultivation civilization in ancient times was far more glorious than ours now. The flying boat of the Shaoyang Sect is a proof. Without specific drawings and data, it is difficult to imitate it. Of course, other inheritances have also been
There are some similar benefits, but they are all very secret and not allowed to be spread."
"Senior Sister Duanmu must have seen many magical objects in ancient ruins with her own eyes." Xue Chen was very interested in this.
"Of course." Duan Mulan raised her delicate wrist, "This bracelet was brought from the ancient ruins. It is a mustard seed weapon." The bracelet is completely blue, with a little light on it, as if there are countless stars.
It's like the stars are trapped inside, so beautiful.
The Mustard Seed Spirit Weapon is a very cherished spiritual weapon in the cultivation world. It has only one purpose. It is for storage. It can hold a lot of things. The price is very high. Even ordinary Danhua realms do not have it.
For this reason, Xue Chen has always been very happy that he has a magic like Jade Eye Space, which is equivalent to a mustard seed weapon.
"In today's spiritual world, many are developed and created after learning from ancient times, and the Mustard Seed Spirit Weapon is completely imitated based on the information left over from ancient times. Just like the flying boat of the Shaoyang Sect, it can create the Mustard Seed Spirit
The only ones who own the weapon are Faxiang Sect and Grand Imperial Court. Just like Feizhou, if you want to buy it, the price is not cheap."
Duan Mulan stroked the blue bracelet with her fingers and said happily that even the mustard seed weapon made by Faxiang Sect and the Great Imperial Court, the largest space inside was only a three-foot-long and wide cube, but hers
The inside of the bracelet is ten times its size.
"The Grand Imperial Court once sent someone to discuss with me and was willing to trade with me two hundred thousand meritorious cultivation resources, but how could I agree?"
Xue Chen was stunned. Two hundred thousand merit resources was simply... astonishing. You must know that a ten-foot-long flying boat only had one hundred thousand merit resources.
"So, the ancient ruins are completely a treasure house." He sighed.
Duan Mulan's lips raised: "That's not entirely true. It's a treasure house, but if you're not careful, it might be a graveyard for people to die."
Just when Xue Chen was about to ask where there were ancient ruins, Duan Mulan spoke first.
"After learning about ancient times, many people want to enter it, but it is so easy. Once many ruins are discovered, once they are communicated with the outside world, they will completely collapse and disappear soon. Even if a few can be preserved,
But it has already been occupied and guarded by various inheritances, and its location is top secret."
Duan Mulan finally gave Xue Chen two ways to see the ancient ruins with his own eyes. One was to try to find the memory of a beautiful woman, but the chance was slim, like finding a needle in a haystack. The other was to enter the ruins controlled by the Yanhuang Department.
, the chance of being allowed is not very good, but at least you can give it a try. (To be continued)
