The reason why he chose to walk deeper into the pipe was because Zhang Baoer had already explored the outside environment and finally found that this passage was the only easy way to go.
The luminous stone emits a bright white light in his palm, lighting up the road ahead like a flashlight. Although the luminous stone consumes spiritual energy, it does not consume much. He just needs to stop and rest every time he walks a long way.
After a while, the spiritual power in his Dantian will be sufficient - his recovery power is very fast.
There was no wind here, and Zhang Baoer felt that the other end of the passage was sealed, otherwise air would have flowed in crazily from the hole behind him.
As we go further and further away, there are more and more ice shards on the ground, and every step makes a squeaking sound.
After half a day, Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up, because the pipe a hundred feet ahead no longer went straight forward, but seemed to be turning upward.
"Walk!"
He grinned and led Cai'er to speed up. Just as he expected, the exit was more than a dozen feet above. The exit was still dark, which meant that there was probably a large enclosed alchemy room above.
Zhang Baoer did not dare to use the luminous stone to shine at the dark end outside the cave entrance to see the top; he first hid at the bend with Cai'er and listened with bated breath for a long time. After confirming that there should be no living beings above, he held her and showed his body.
Method, go straight up the passage.
call!
Amid the roar of the wind, the two flew out of the circular passage and stood in a stone chamber of nearly 10,000 cubic meters.
"this……"
Zhang Baoer's mouth opened wide and his eyes widened. In front of him stood a four-legged cauldron the size of a house. It was majestic and majestic. It made people feel insignificant and mistakenly thought it was a tall and towering mountain!
This medicine cauldron was so big that it simply exceeded his knowledge. He even thought it was something belonging to a giant monk!
But... this is not the world of gods, there can be no giants!
Thinking that now was not the time to be surprised, he quickly looked away and looked around:
There are no other furnishings in this stone room, except for the big cauldron.
In addition to this passage, this stone chamber has another passage, which is a huge closed stone door.
Perhaps there is another place, which is a deep pool, but the water in the pool is frozen, and I don't know where it leads.
Finally, Zhang Baoer set his eyes on the big cauldron again, let out a light sigh, and then shined the light of the luminous stone on the cauldron wall, and a series of words appeared in his eyes:
"After thousands of years of practicing the magic elixir, I finally achieved it. Once I broke through the path, I was able to ascend. Looking back, I saw that I was alone. The mountains and rivers left a lot of people behind."
After these four columns of words, there is a string of smaller characters, which reads: A gift from the Mad Immortal in Green Shirt.
"Ascend, ascend, ascend..."
Zhang Baoer kept chanting these two words, his eyes were filled with confusion. In a trance, he saw Xuan Zhan's blood-soaked figure fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation, and Xue Niang's eyes full of tears and heartache in the distance... All of this might not be true.
Yes, because he didn't see it, it was fantasy.
"Thousands of years?! Haha... Ascension is so difficult. Daxuan took me and Xue Niang to ascend together. You can imagine the resistance we encountered..."
Before he knew it, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't cry!"
Cai'er pulled his hand, and seeing this situation, she actually showed emotions other than "ice cubes". Although her eyes were mostly empty, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Um!"
Zhang Baoer nodded heavily, wiped away his tears, then looked at the writing and murmured:
"This person has been refining elixirs here for thousands of years. Emperor Tian has paid off and finally mastered the magic elixir. He should have ascended to the upper world instead of leaving this planet, because he calls himself the 'Qing Shima Crazy Immortal' and should have already reached the immortal level...
... He is also a pitiful person. When he finished practicing the magical elixir, he looked back and found that his relatives and friends were scattered and he had no descendants, so he said that he would give this great cauldron of mountains and rivers to a 'destined person'."
Having said this, he frowned and walked around the cauldron. He didn't find any pictures or words. He was very puzzled - this cauldron was like a rough cauldron. Logically speaking, the medicinal cauldron needed
Just set up a formation.
"How to collect it? I don't know what material this big cauldron is made of. It weighs hundreds of thousands of kilograms at least."
He frowned, then stretched out his hand to press on the tripod's feet, and found that he couldn't move it at all.
He continued to ponder...
"Can't Tang Tian's parents collect it? Although they are highly cultivated, they can't be unmoved when faced with the relics of ascended power, right? In addition... here, monks with magical powers or even half-step magical powers can also reach it, right?
?Why is it still here after all these years?”
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said happily:
"Does it need to be refined?! Like Zhenfu, it not only requires spiritual nourishment but also spiritual power to fit in? And this object is of a very high level, maybe it has a spirit? If it can't be combined with spiritual power, it will be difficult to take it away?!"
Thinking of this, he quickly looked down and shouted "Sure enough" - he found a large formation carved on the ground, which was used to imprison the great cauldron of mountains and rivers.
In other words, if the refining person is not accepted, the cauldron cannot be taken away!
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoer quickly took out the food and water, and after eating with Cai'er, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest, and nursed himself back to his peak state, and then!
He held the tripod's feet with his hand, opened his eyes, glanced sharply, and cast his mental energy!
Buzz!
The cauldron shook slightly, and his spiritual power went straight into the cauldron. Countless colorful threads appeared in Zhang Baoer's sea of consciousness. He 'saw' these densely packed threads covering every inch of the cauldron, and the starting point of these threads or...
It is the gathering point, the bottom of the cauldron. There is a cocoon-like light thing there.
Buzz!
When Zhang Baoer's mental power came into contact with the light cocoon, the cauldron suddenly shook violently, and a child's voice rang in his mind, babbling twice and saying:
"The bloodline of Ni Beast Xuan, the bloodline of Sky Fox, the bloodline of human race, extraordinary spiritual power, entangled in the aura of heavenly calamity, lingering in the aura of chaos, not tolerated by heaven and earth but not rejected... does not fit... fits... does not fit... fits
…”
The childish voice kept saying "discrepancy and conformity", speaking faster and faster, as if the machine had malfunctioned.
The whole cauldron buzzed and trembled violently, causing Zhang Bao'er to sway unsteadily. Cai'er instead stepped back step by step with an angry look and a pale face.
Zhang Baoer was shocked and suddenly emitted the light of the mark, then stared at the cauldron with dagger-like eyes and shouted:
"Shut up! Do you recognize me as your master?!"
"No……"
The great cauldron of mountains and rivers shook, but the word 'no' had just come out of the cauldron, but it was certain, and then a message came:
"It matches! This light can hurt the cauldron spirit. It matches! I recognize you as my master!"
Zhang Baoer was speechless, involuntarily restrained the light of the mark, and then said with a smile:
"Ding Ling also bullies the weak and fears the strong?!"
At this moment, the great cauldron of mountains and rivers suddenly buzzed, and a small baby-like face suddenly appeared on the light cocoon. The small face opened its mouth to reveal a hole, and Zhang Baoer's mental power was swallowed by the small mouth like a whale swallowing water.
"ah!"
The incident happened suddenly. Zhang Baoer was not prepared at all. He had a splitting headache. He wanted to stop it but couldn't. He was so frightened that he quickly took out half of the white flower and stuffed it into his mouth...
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Baoer's spiritual power poured into the little baby's mouth like running water, as if he wanted to fill the cocoon of light before he would stop.
When the day white flowers were swallowed by him and were about to disappear in his stomach, Zhang Baoer was shocked. He gritted his teeth and took out the only three remaining earth-level high-level elixirs that were useful for spiritual power from the space ring, and broke them into pieces one by one.
Swallow it wholeheartedly...
"Not enough!"
Zhang Baoer was very angry because the last piece of elixir had been taken down, but the cauldron showed no sign of stopping.
His eyes were crimson and he was beating wildly, trying to pull his hand back from the tripod's feet. Cai'er also helped, but no matter how she cast spells, she couldn't pull Zhang Baoer away.
Zhang Baoer was filled with panic, he was at the end of his game and had nothing to do!
"Eh!"
Seeing that Cai'er had fainted on the ground due to excessive exertion, he sighed with endless unwillingness, his vision dimmed, his head tilted, and he followed Cai'er's footsteps and fell to the ground!
He didn't know that when he fell into coma, the great cauldron of mountains and rivers suddenly shone brightly, and the cauldron trembled wildly. Countless dust and impurities detached from the cauldron, revealing countless pictures of rivers and mountains, and flew away with a crisp "beep" sound.
It fell to the ground, spinning in the air and then shrinking continuously, turning into a blue-red light...
…………
"hiss!"
Zhang Baoer took a breath of cold air, twitched his face, frowned deeply, and walked from the endless dark dream to the still dark reality.
He couldn't see his fingers, his head was about to burst, the pain was unbearable, he wanted to scream loudly but couldn't muster any strength.
There was no movement around him. The only good news was that he heard Cai'er's breathing and felt his ankles being held tightly by a pair of hands.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stopped trying to move, but...he wanted to sleep, but couldn't. The severe pain prevented him from calming down.
He had no choice but to endure it. Fortunately... humans are creatures that can adapt. After the knife-like pain lasted for half a day, he became numb and no longer in so much pain.
The pain slowly began to lessen, and he eventually fell asleep.
…………
"Um?!"
Amidst a soft noise, Zhang Baoer woke up leisurely. Although his head was still heavy and his body was very tired, he was finally able to move.
After hearing that the noise seemed to be human voices, he was shocked and quickly struggled to get up to help Cai'er up. At this moment, a young woman's joyful voice came from the passage:
"Ancestor, don't worry! My cousin is so talented that he looks down on all the heroes in the world. He will definitely be able to conquer that thing!"
Then came the voice of a young man:
"Huh! I don't know who will accept it!"
The voice was full of dissatisfaction, and Zhang Baoer could feel the arrogance coming from his bones. There were many footsteps, and he felt that there were at least ten people coming.
In addition, he heard a voice that he didn't want to hear but wanted to hear:
