A moment later, Xia Haoran's figure appeared in Xiaobai's cave.
Xia Haoran said to himself: "In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. I wonder how the spiritual spring in the cave is recovering now."
While talking, Xia Haoran took out the jade token stored in the storage ring.
After a few spells, the inside of the cave suddenly changed. Xia Haoran didn't pay much attention to it. He pressed the mechanism on the inner stone wall with ease, and then the heavy stone door rumbled up.
Xia Haoran stepped into the portal.
In the cave, everything is still the same as before. The difference is that after more than eight months of precipitation and accumulation, the spiritual energy here has now become much stronger.
Although it is not as dense as the fog when he came in last year, the spiritual energy here is quite impressive now. According to Xia Haoran's estimation, if it is for Xiaobai to form pills, it is obviously not enough; but it is enough.
Li Mengyao has what he needs to build the foundation. It seems that when classmate Xiaobai forms the elixir, he will have to think of another method.
Xia Haoran sighed for a while, then took out a few jade bottles from the storage ring and filled them with some spiritual spring water. Then he walked out of the cave, where the spiritual energy had to be accumulated.
As the saying goes: Good steel should be used on the blade.
Although the spiritual energy in the cave is very rich now, if Xia Haoran, who is already at the peak of the late Jindan stage, is allowed to absorb and refine it, even if it is sucked dry, there will not be much gain. Because the path of cultivation is determined by
From low to high, the amount of spiritual energy required also accumulates from less to more. By now, the amount he needs in the late stage of the golden elixir is already a huge amount.
Therefore, even if he is allowed to absorb and refine everything here, his improvement will not be that obvious. Rather than doing this, it is better to keep it for Li Mengyao to use for foundation building in the future.
You must know that the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the higher the accuracy of the energy. If a cultivator absorbs the pure spiritual energy from spiritual springs or spiritual veins to break through, it will naturally be stronger than the thin free spiritual energy absorbed in nature.
Much more.
The water of these spiritual springs has no effect on Xia Haoran, who has reached the peak of the late Jindan period. However, it has no effect on Li Mengyao, his parents and relatives, and the big-headed soldiers who have just entered the path of cultivation.
It is said that it has endless benefits and magical effects. Even if an ordinary person drinks the water of these spiritual springs for a long time, it will have great benefits and improvements to their body.
Inside the cave.
Xia Haoran casually used a few magic formulas to restart the sealing formation, and then put away the jade tablet. Then he waved his hand, and a set of tea sets, tea leaves and a thermos pot appeared on the stone table. He sat crookedly on the stone table.
On the stool, I made tea leisurely.
It seemed that it was impossible for Li Zhao and others in the small valley to evacuate today. In order to prevent more people from knowing his secret and the secret of the secret realm, he decided to delay for a day. Now that the target location has been determined, he still has
What are you worried about? What's more, what he lacks most is time and patience.
Under the observation of Xia Haoran's spiritual consciousness, Li Zhao and others rested all night and finally left the small valley early the next morning. Of course, Han Jie's body was also taken away by them. As for the twenty-seven mercenaries
His body is still lying there naked and no one pays attention to it.
An hour later, Xia Haoran appeared in front of the pile of corpses. He cast a magic spell, and a flame appeared out of thin air. It fell on the corpses in an instant and quickly burned them to ashes.
Xia Haoran withdrew the flame, then turned and walked towards the small valley.
The dead are great!
Even the two corpses outside were cleaned up by Xia Haoran yesterday when he left. No matter what they did during their lifetime or how many bad things they did, since everyone is dead now, they cannot be exposed.
The wilderness was left alone, they deserved the respect of the living.
This is a matter of human ethics.
As for Li Zhao and others, now that the matter is over, Xia Haoran has forgotten about it. The relationship between them and him is destined to be just strangers who meet by chance and meet by chance.
However, Xia Haoran took a closer look. The overall quality of the five surviving members of the team is pretty good, but it is only compared to ordinary people. If they are more courageous and have deep blessings, maybe,
In the past few months, there will be a day when they will meet again.
Of course, that's all for later.
Standing in front of the cliff again, Xia Haoran held the animal skin map and observed quietly. At this moment, the secret place marked "Under the Twin Peaks" on the animal skin map gave out a faint halo, spontaneously
trembling slightly.
Xia Haoran shifted his gaze from the animal skin map to the cliff in front of him. His consciousness had sensed the existence of the formation seal here before. However, it was precisely because of this formation that his
Divine consciousness cannot see the scene behind through the formation blockade.
Once it comes, make peace with it.
No matter what is behind the formation seal, no matter what is in this secret realm, Xia Haoran will go in and have a try. The beautiful opportunity is right in front of him, and it is not his character to be timid and not move forward.
Moreover, he traveled a long distance to come here and spent so much time and energy, wasn't it just to explore the secret realm inside? What's more, this was a treasure gifted to him by Venerable Qingyang.
Xia Haoran knew that what the other party was playing against him was a conspiracy involving sticks and candies, but for him now, this was definitely a deal that was of great benefit to him and no harm at all!
The hand that takes someone is short, and the mouth that eats someone is short.
Now I have received many benefits from Venerable Qingyang. When I grow up, it is not impossible to help him with a small favor.
Although he didn't know what kind of person Venerable Qingyang was in real life, the other party's style of acting before he asked for anything, even if he said ugly things, was in line with Xia Haoran's temperament. Therefore, Xia Haoran not only felt that
I don’t have the slightest dislike for Venerable Qingyang, but more of admiration and praise!
Xia Haoran stretched out his hand and pressed gently on the cliff. His mind slowly integrated into the formation along with his spiritual consciousness, and he began to quickly decipher the formation.
The detection standard for this secret realm is the foundation building period, so the formation ban outside is not as powerful as imagined. According to Xia Haoran's estimation, it is about the second level of "Form Solution".
But this also reminded Xia Haoran.
It seems that these nine secret realms not only have strict requirements for the strength of the detectors, but also have the same assessment standards for the formation level. This is only the first secret realm, and the access conditions are the foundation period, "Form Solution" Chapter 1
The second level; then what level will the formation requirements for the next golden elixir stage secret realm be?
Thinking of this, Xia Haoran couldn't help but shook his head and secretly showed a wry smile. This Venerable Qingyang was so thoughtful and well-intentioned!
After a while, Xia Haoran retracted his palm and smiled slightly.
At this moment, he could feel the surface of the mountain wall showing traces of illusory ripples, and Xia Haoran stepped directly towards the cliff without hesitation.
When Xia Haoran's body touched the 'cliff', the 'cliff' was like water, with slight ripples, but it did not prevent Xia Haoran's body from entering the 'cliff' at all.
If there are others at the scene, if this strange scene is seen by outsiders, it will definitely be shocking!
A big living person just walked directly into the cliff and disappeared. This situation, this scene, this thing is as weird as it sounds...
After breaking through the formation ban, there was a long cave passage behind, about forty or fifty meters long. When Xia Haoran first entered, he had already activated his spiritual consciousness and looked at the entire situation inside clearly.
.
The passage is not dark.
A faint fluorescent light filled the entire passage like moonlight. Xia Haoran noticed that on the stone wall at the top of the passage, there was a shining bead inlaid every five or six meters.
This should be the Night Pearl, right?
Xia Haoran really wanted to dig them all out immediately and take them back to Li Mengyao to play with. As for lighting, he really didn't care. With his current cultivation and consciousness, any darkness will have no impact on him.
.
He roughly counted and found that there were almost a dozen luminous pearls inlaid in the entire passage. What a waste! If this thing was exchanged for money, it should be sold at a high price...
However, these are just Xia Haoran's thoughts. Even if he had such a treasure, he would not be able to sell it for money. Besides, now he doesn't have that much money at all, let alone such a treasure.
The baby went out and became a prodigal.
At the end of the passage is a gate.
It is said to be a door, but in fact it is not a real door, but a portal similar to a space passage. Presumably, as long as you pass through this space passage, the real secret realm is inside.
Xia Haoran looked carefully. There was only a small sword-shaped groove on the simple and deep door. Xia Haoran just raised his eyes and took out the "Qingshuang" pendant from the storage ring.
sword.
He took the sword and compared it with the groove on the door. Yes! No matter in terms of size or shape, the groove on the door matched the "Qingshuang" sword very well.
It seems that Venerable Qingyang used this sword as a token to unlock the secret realm here.
Xia Haoran muttered to himself with full of slander: "What a wicked old guy. This sword is also his daughter's personal belongings after all, but he actually uses it as the key to unlock the secret realm. It's really a bit narrow.
.”
After adjusting his mind a little, Xia Haoran made a prompt decision and carefully placed the Qingshuang Saber into the groove. In an instant, Xia Haoran felt the door vibrate, and then... the door slowly opened.
Without any hesitation, Xia Haoran stepped forward and walked towards the door in front. Then, the figure quickly entered the door and disappeared into this dark passage...
At the same time, the Qingshuang sword automatically detached from the groove and quickly returned to Xia Haoran's hand. As Xia Haoran stepped into the space passage, the outer portal closed again with a "swish"
