Behind the door, there is a strong smell of medicine and mold, and the dust accumulated in the room is very thick. It is a dusty scene as soon as you enter. No one has been here for many years.
The fragrance of elixirs and the neatly arranged bottles and jars in the room indicate that this is a secret room for storing elixirs. However, it has been left there for too long, and the elixirs have expired, leaving only piles of elixir ash and waste elixirs.
.
Finding nothing, they soon came to the second secret room.
There are some paper books stacked here. Surprisingly, they are still well preserved after I don’t know how many years.
Tong Yan stretched out his hand to take down a book and read it, but as soon as his fingertips touched the cover, the book in front of him was like a mirror, shattered into powder and fell on the shelf.
"This..." She immediately pulled back her hand feeling guilty, but she didn't do anything.
Gu Yuqi glanced at the empty books and said, "It's because the protective formation has failed."
Tong Yan could guess some of the reasons, but she just felt that it was a pity that so many books were scrapped at once. Maybe some of them were only copies and would be gone if they were destroyed.
Gu Yuqi turned to the corner, squatted down and picked up an overturned medicine bottle. Judging from its inconspicuous position, it looked like it had been accidentally dropped.
He carefully opened the cork of the bottle, and the aroma of the medicine that hit his face was refreshing.
Tong Yan: "There are also good elixirs!"
The underground palace looked to be at least tens of thousands of years old, and even the elixirs in the secret room next door were turned into dust. Gu Yuqi was able to pick up an unexpired bottle, which was really unexpected and rare.
Gu Yuqi nodded slightly, but his face did not show much satisfaction due to this unexpected joy.
Tong Yan didn't intend to ask what kind of elixir he had in his hand, but when she saw his lackluster look, she couldn't help but wonder if the elixir in the bottle was of too low a grade.
Then he asked: "Why do you have this expression? That elixir is so bad?"
Gu Yuqi glanced at her and suddenly threw the medicine bottle to her, "It's a good thing, but there's only one."
Tong Yan opened the medicine bottle, took a look at it, and immediately threw it back with a look of rejection, "Don't throw your things to me."
What kind of elixir makes her dislike it so much?
In fact, it was not the case. The elixir was not only not bad, but also of excellent quality. However, she first thought that the elixir was picked up by Gu Yuqi and it belonged to him. Secondly, she even doubted whether his behavior was to test her.
You don't know how many people turn against each other because of profit. The value of a barrier-breaking pill is enough to make people greedy.
As for how she restrained her greed? There was no comparison between fate and a pill.
Gu Yuqi held the bottle and hesitated for a while, "For this barrier-breaking pill, I will give it to you as a spiritual stone at half of the market price."
Barrier-breaking elixir is the elixir used when the golden elixir is promoted to Yuanying. It has the function of breaking down demonic barriers and resisting inner demons.
Although the elixir is precious, it is still not to the point of being reluctant to part with it. He is about to be promoted, but he has become a demon again. When he is promoted, the invasion of inner demons is inevitable. For him, this barrier-breaking elixir is like a timely rain.
And Tong Yan had just formed the elixir not long ago, so there was no need for this obstacle-breaking elixir.
"That's not necessary." Tong Yan refused immediately, with frank eyes and a firm attitude, "You opened the door and picked up the medicine bottle. You have nothing to do with me."
Seeing her trying her best to distance herself from the relationship, Gu Yuqi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He tightened the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "Let's go to the next secret room."
Tong Yan followed closely behind.
They walked in unison and stood very close together. Their shadows overlapped behind them, as if they were very close and trusted each other wholeheartedly.
There are only two things in the third secret room, one is a piece of soul-nurturing wood randomly placed on the wall, and the other is solemnly placed on the shelf in the center like a treasure passed down from generation to generation.
It was a scabbard, with a black gold body that glowed slightly, and simple and mysterious runes engraved on the surface.
The temperament is thick and solemn, and even time cannot leave the slightest trace on it. It is just an artifact, but it gives people a sense of majesty and oppression.
Tong Yan, who had been looking at the scabbard for a long time, suddenly discussed with Gu Yuqi: "After all, we worked hard to get here. Each of us owns the things in this secret room." After saying the scene, she quickly made up her mind, "I
I want the scabbard."
Gu Yuqi frowned and glanced at the black gold scabbard. It was undeniable that the scabbard was very good. It looked like something extraordinary at first glance. But "What do you want it for? Your sword already has a scabbard, and the size is not suitable for your sword body. Take it."
It's useless."
After a pause, fearing that Tong Yan would misunderstand that he wanted to snatch it from her, he explained, "The soul-raising tree is very rare in the world of cultivation today. You take it."
A scabbard without a corresponding sword, no matter how good it is, is nothing more than a waste. After all, it is just a scabbard and will not be of any help to her cultivation.
Despite Gu Yuqi's earnest words, Tong Yan remained unmoved and went forward to pick up the scabbard.
When she touched the black sheath, her whole body trembled, sending out a slight energy aftermath, but after Tong Yan firmly grasped it, she calmed down obediently.
"I think it's more important to close your eyes." Tong Yan said after getting the scabbard.
Gu Yuqi had no way of knowing whether it was really a match between eyes or had a deeper meaning, and he didn't intend to delve into it. It might be Tong Yan's secret. She didn't want to tell him, so he could try not to ask.
Gu Yuqi split the soul-nurturing tree in half with a sword, which could make people jealous and crazy, then handed a section to the person next to him, and then said: "Everyone who sees it has a share."
Tong Yan held the scabbard and looked at the thing in his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally took it.
Since he gave it, don't give it for free. The soul-nurturing wood can be considered a legendary thing. The number of people I have seen in the entire world of cultivation is definitely not more than a hundred.
After dividing the spoils... no, after the adventure, the two returned to the open space outside the secret room.
Looking at the underground palace with no way out, Tong Yan asked in confusion, "How do we get out of here?"
"Wait." Gu Yuqi glanced at the location of the six load-bearing stone pillars in the underground palace, ordered and went to one of the stone pillars.
Without seeing how he moved, six rays of light blue light shot out from the six stone pillars, and finally gathered near where she was standing. After a few breaths, a complete portal was projected.
"..." Tong Yan looked at the formation, then stared at Gu Yuqi, and couldn't help complaining, "I wonder if you have been here before, and you actually know the formation here so well."
You can come and go as freely as if you were at home.
Gu Yuqi glanced at her lightly because of his height and said, "Read more and you will know this."
Except for entertainment books, other children’s words that are basically inaudible: "..."
It's not very harmful, but it's very insulting.
The moment the formation glowed, Tong Yan suddenly remembered, "Where are we teleporting to?!"
Gu Yuqi: "We'll know when we get there."
Obviously I don’t know!
After a brief dizziness, what came into view was a forest with lush trees, and sunlight sparsely hitting the ground through the gaps between the leaves.
She took a deep breath of fresh air and felt the beauty of life. After such a long time, she finally saw the light of day again.
"Can you confirm our current location?" She asked Gu Yuqi, but she knew in her heart that the question was probably in vain.
Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Yuqi shook his head, and Tong Yan sighed habitually. He didn't know how long he would be trapped in this tower.
If she goes out now and disguises herself, she won't be recognized by the people who are chasing him.
As long as she was not with Gu Yuqi, it was impossible for those monks to come after her.
After getting rid of those people, you can go to Penglai and continue looking for people.
However, now I don’t know where I am, and how to get out has become a problem.
Do you really want to stay for a few months and wait for the rules to kick you out?
"Is there any way to go out early?" Tong Yan said rather troubled.
Gu Yuqi's eyes flashed, "I heard that there are many temples scattered in the secret area, and the teleportation arrays inside can be used to exit the tower."
