Volume 5 Sword Qi Jiuxiao 977 Goodbye to the Earth
After a while, the two finally arrived at a depth of 1,500 feet underground.
"Here we are, master!"
As soon as Xie'er finished speaking, Liu Ming felt his eyes light up. The surrounding rock walls disappeared and he suddenly entered a huge spherical underground space.
Everything in front of him was filled with faint yellow light, and the entire spherical space was shrouded in a yellow barrier.
The space here is very large, more than double the size of the swamp cave just now, and in front of you, a blue palace about the size of an acre is suspended in mid-air.
"The current situation is somewhat similar to that of when we were in Xiaoyan Realm." Liu Ming glanced at it for a few times, and suddenly recalled what happened a long time ago in his heart, and felt a trance.
"Master, I sense that the palace is filled with a very strong earthy aura." Xie'er pointed at the palace and said.
"In that case, let's go take a look." Liu Ming scanned the surroundings with his consciousness and found nothing unusual. Black gas billowed out of his body, wrapped around the two bodies, and flew down in front of the palace.
The palace here is exquisitely built, and the entire body is made of blue ore. With Liu Ming's knowledge, he couldn't even recognize what kind of material it was.
The palace gate, which is two to three feet high, is ajar. A yellow spar, several feet in size, is inlaid on the beam at the top of the gate, emitting a faint yellow glow.
A blue stone pillar engraved with many spell patterns stands on each of the four corners around the hall. It is similar to the stone pillar at the entrance to the ruins, but there is no light curtain blocking it.
"It seems that this is the real location of the ruins here. It is hidden so deep that most people can't even detect it. I'm afraid it just ends up in that swamp. Xie'er, thanks to you, I was able to find this place." Liu Ming looked at it.
After finishing, he said with a smile on his face.
"Master, thank you! Xie'er is more sensitive to earth-attribute auras." Hearing this, Xie'er also had a happy look on her pretty face.
Liu Ming nodded, took a few steps forward, and suddenly shook his sleeves. Immediately, an invisible force surged out, and he slowly pushed open the half-open door.
What caught their eyes was a huge hall. The ground was paved with square blue boulders. There were a few simple bluestone tables and chairs placed on it. Others had no special decorations.
At the end of the entire hall, there are two passages, one on the left and one on the right, leading to nowhere.
"Master, it seems like this is a cave." Xie'er said after looking around for a few times.
"Yes, but I'm afraid it has been abandoned for a long time." Liu Ming's eyes fell on the thick layer of dust on the stone table in front of him, and he said slowly.
"There doesn't seem to be anything here, so let's go take a look in the two passages." Xie'er suggested after thinking for a while.
Liu Ming nodded, condensed the spell in his hand, and his body was filled with black energy. He surrounded the two of them and headed towards the left passage at the end of the hall.
There was a secret room at the end of the passage. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door and found that there was a bedroom inside, with only an empty bed on a stone platform and a few clothes hanging on the wall. It didn't look like anything special.
"There seems to be nothing here." Seeing this, Xie'er said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Liu Ming's consciousness glanced slightly, and he walked out with a wry smile, taking Xie'er to the passage on the right side of the hall.
As expected, there was a secret room at the end of the passage.
After pushing open the door, a huge smell of earthy smell suddenly hit his nostrils, making his body freeze for a moment.
Inside the door is a huge stone room. From the outside, it seems to be the same as the bedroom just now. When you walk in, you can see that the area is surprisingly huge, not much smaller than the swamp space outside.
What surprised Liu Ming even more was that on the ground of this huge stone room, there were a dozen golden peaks over a hundred feet in size stacked side by side!
These hills are all made of a kind of golden clay. This clay is not unfamiliar to Liu Ming. It is the golden essence breath soil that he has seen in Yunchuan Continent.
"This...these...are all golden spirit breath soil..." Even though he had seen countless treasures, he was deeply shocked by the scene before him.
Standing next to him, Xie'er's face was full of horror at this moment. She walked to a hill, stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, and took a few strong sniffs with her small Qiong nose. Looking at it like this, she seemed to want to
Like taking a bite.
Liu Ming let out a long breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart, raised his arm and touched the golden hill in front of him, and found that it felt soft and slightly elastic.
"It is indeed the Golden Essence Breathing Earth." He nodded, and his face had returned to calmness.
With a movement of his body, he flew to the top of a hill where there were many other materials piled up.
"Rock crystal earth soul, purple gold soil, sea crystal..." Liu Ming carefully identified it, but his face became more and more surprised. These materials are more precious than the golden essence breath soil. Of course, the quantity cannot be compared with the golden essence breath soil.
Xitu compared.
He checked the other Xitu hills and found that the exact same kinds of precious materials were stacked on each one, and even the quantities were exactly the same.
"These should be the materials used for refining weapons, plus the Golden Essence Breathing Earth... From this point of view, it seems that someone has piled them here specially for the purpose of refining some magic weapon." Liu Ming slowly fell back to the ground and murmured.
Muttering to himself.
"Master, hurry up and put these things away. These are valuable treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world!" Xie'er said excitedly after circling a golden mountain for a few times.
Liu Ming glanced at Xie'er and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Although Scorpion is a ghost, it has evolved to this point, and the magic power in its body is somewhat biased towards the earth attribute. It also instinctively likes the best earth-attribute materials such as golden spirit breath soil.
"Don't worry, Xie Er. This place is so secretive that no one will come looking for it. Moreover, the Sumeru Ring can't even hold so much breath soil." Liu Ming said with a chuckle.
Although the space of the Xumi Ring is large, it can only hold at most one Xitu Hill, and there are as many as twelve here.
"That's true!"
Xie'er was stunned when he heard this.
"Huh!"
Liu Ming's face suddenly changed slightly, his body moved, and he walked to a corner of the stone room.
The remains of a monk wrapped in a yellow robe are sitting here quietly cross-legged.
This robe is simple in style, unsophisticated and peculiar. It does not seem to be worn by monks from the Zhongtian Continent. What is even more amazing is that after so many years, this robe is still as new as ever, exuding a faint yellow light. You can tell at a glance that it is definitely not the same thing.
Ordinary things.
The remains wrapped in the robe are generally well preserved, but the bones are white and crystal clear, like white jade crystals.
"It seems that this person should be the owner of this place." Liu Ming stood next to the skeleton and grabbed it casually. A palm-sized dark blue token flew up from the skeleton's waist and fell into his hand.
There are some strange patterns engraved on one side of the token, which are very similar to the spell patterns on the blue stone pillars outside the hall.
On the other side were carved some ancient and strange characters. Liu Ming had some impression that this font seemed to be from the wild continent. He had also seen it in the True Spirit Book.
"Could this person be a demon cultivator from the Wild Continent?" Liu Ming speculated in his mind, but this was not impossible.
The four major demon clans, namely Split Eagle, Barbarian Bear, Shadow Wolf, and Silver Tiger, all seem to be determined to get this ruins. Nine times out of ten, they are related to this person.
"Master, is this a control token restricted by formations around the palace?" Xie'er was stunned and then asked.
"It should be..." Liu Ming tried to put his consciousness into the jade token, and a little light immediately appeared in the token, flicking his consciousness away.
Liu Ming's face changed slightly, and he tried several methods, but none of them worked. The cyan jade card seemed to require special techniques to control.
He shook his head and gave up the intention of using the token. He waved his hand again, and the yellow robe on the corpse shook and turned into a ray of yellow light and fell into his hand.
This robe seems to be a rare treasure. When you touch it with your fingers, you can feel a metallic coldness.
Without the robe to cover it, the corpse was completely exposed. There was a simple black ring on the joint of his right hand.
"Storage ring!"
Liu Ming's face lit up, and he threw the yellow robe to Xie'er. He leaned over and picked up the ring, and used his consciousness to look inside. His expression suddenly changed...
"Master, what's inside?" Xie'er held the yellow robe in her hand. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but ask.
When Liu Ming heard this, he waved his hand, and something appeared and landed on the ground.
These things are some colorful ore materials, as well as some gold spirit breath soil, the quantity is not too much. In addition to these, there is also a white jade box, which is a little more eye-catching.
Among these materials are several pieces of rock crystal earth soul and purple gold soil, which should be the remaining materials from the twelve hills nearby.
Liu Ming guessed this in his mind, and with one move, he took the white jade box into his hand, and subconsciously explored it with his consciousness. Unexpectedly, it was bounced away.
He muttered something strange secretly, and tried to open the lid with his hands, but he paused after thinking for a moment, and then black energy appeared on his body and enveloped his whole body.
Seeing this scene, Xie'er's pretty face also changed, she took a step back, and a yellow body-protecting light emitted from her body.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes, exerted force on his hand, and with a soft "pop" sound, the lid of the box automatically flipped open. Other than that, no other abnormalities occurred.
"It seems I'm too worried."
He breathed a sigh of relief and saw what was in the box, but it was a simple yellowed jade slip.
Liu Ming immediately dissipated the black energy from his body, stretched out two fingers to gently pick up the jade slip, placed it on his forehead, and stood motionless.
As time passed little by little, Liu Ming's face first showed a hint of joy, and as time went by, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
After a cup of tea, he took the jade slip away from his forehead, his face already full of uncontrollable excitement.
