Seeing them getting closer and closer, Xiao Zhen had to hide carefully in order to avoid being discovered by the other party.
At this time, he was extremely glad that he had developed a good habit and cleaned up the traces of the war early.
After so long, the burning smell has long since disappeared with the mountain breeze.
Otherwise, he will definitely be discovered by the other party.
Both of them were wearing black clothes and were disguised. Looking at their behavior, it was obvious that they were the type of people who were not easy to mess with.
Even if Xiao Zhen still has some life-saving means, he doesn't dare to say that he will definitely win against the opponent. Anyone who can enter the secret realm is fully prepared. If you really underestimate these people, they might not be able to win.
Know how you died.
Therefore, Xiao Zhen felt that if he could avoid it, it would be better to avoid it as much as possible.
Not long after Xiao Zhen affixed a Turtle Breath Talisman to himself, the two men in black had arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
The main function of this kind of turtle breath talisman is to hide one's appearance, which is just suitable for the disciples in the Qi refining stage. Because most of the spiritual consciousness of the disciples in the Qi refining stage cannot be extended for a long time, as long as one is attached, it will be used.
The probability of discovery can be minimized.
Unless you happen to be right in front of them, it will be difficult to be discovered.
The price of this kind of spiritual talisman is extremely high, costing almost two hundred spiritual stones each, and Xiao Zhen only has about five of them. Unexpectedly, he would be put to use here.
Now, under the spiritual consciousness of the man in black, there is no aura leaking out from where Xiao Zhen is, it feels like a stone or something.
When the two of them arrived here, they took out a scroll made of animal skin.
"Brother Huo, this should be Yangjiao Mountain. It seems that we are not far from Qinghe Hall."
"That's right. Yangjiao Mountain can almost be regarded as the inner circle. We can reach it in another six or seven days of travel."
"I wonder what happened to Lao Qi and the others? Along the way, the green clams in my hands didn't react at all. It seems they are too far away from us."
"You can't talk too much in the wilderness. We just have to do our part."
Afterwards, the two men rested for a while, then found a certain direction and continued on their way.
…
After they left, Xiao Zhen continued to lurk for a while.
Although the two of them only exchanged a few words, Xiao Zhen got a lot of information from it, which solved a lot of doubts in his mind.
For example, they actually had insects like green clams in their hands for communication purposes. No wonder they were able to gather together within a few days.
This kind of insect is extremely rare, and it is said that it can only be found in southern Xinjiang.
In addition, what shocked Xiao Zhen even more was that they were also rushing to Qinghe Hall, and there were more than two of them.
Because that place happened to be Xiao Zhen's destination for his trip.
Could it be that something unexpected happened there?
Xiao Zhen couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. If this was really the case, the difficulty for him to obtain the treasure would skyrocket.
However, looking at the direction they left just now, Xiao Zhen gained some confidence out of thin air.
It is possible that the map in their hands was not complete, and the route they took was not the shortest one. They had to go around half a circle, which added nearly four days to their journey.
As long as Xiao Zhen doesn't get delayed by other things during the next two days, he can arrive early.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen immediately turned over from this place and took another path.
It just so happened that where he was going, he had to pass the nest of that swarm of monster bees.
So, he turned around and went to receive the loot.
This swarm of monster bees is extremely ferocious and can be called the little overlord of the neighborhood, so the place occupied by them must be the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the surrounding area.
There are definitely rare elixirs produced there.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Zhen got closer, he felt that this place was very different from the Yangjiao Mountain just now. He followed the traces just now and found the location of the beehive.
After clearing away all the remaining demon bees in a few strokes, he directly collected the entire hive. In addition to honey, there were also some larvae. If they could be tamed, they might become members of the Taixuan Sect.
Big help.
What makes Xiao Zhen salivate even more is the honey they brew. This kind of honey has a wide range of uses, and its biggest function is to strengthen the body. Especially for patients like Zhang Lexin who need to rest, honey can best nourish their body.
body.
After collecting the beehive, Xiao Zhen searched nearby again, and sure enough, he found three elixirs that were hundreds of years old. Although these elixirs were not the main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, they were also important.
It is extremely precious. Especially among them is a seven-year-old golden sun grass, which even helps monks form elixirs. Its value is no less than a thousand-year-old elixir.
If Xiao Zhen exchanges it at Yaowang Valley, he should be able to exchange it for a Foundation Building Pill.
Xiao Zhen looked quite excited. He didn't expect that he would gain something here. With this elixir in hand, he no longer had to worry about anything.
Next, he can concentrate on that task.
He took out the jade box he had prepared before and put away the three elixirs properly. After doing this, he did not hesitate and immediately rushed to the center according to the original plan.
After the last encounter, Xiao Zhen became more cautious. Perhaps because of his caution, in the next two days, he encountered no other accidents and arrived at the destination of this trip smoothly.
Destination-Qinghe Hall.
After arriving here, Xiao Zhen did not walk over immediately, but stayed outside for a short while.
Looking from the outside, Qinghe Hall has long lost its reputation as majestic and magnificent.
It is said that it was originally a Beppu Dojo of the Hidden Moon Taoist Sect. Unfortunately, with the decline and demise of the Hidden Moon Taoist Sect, this Beppu also declined, and after passing through his hands several times, it finally became a pile of
ruins.
However, even if it is ruined, because of the magic circle, the aura inside is far stronger than elsewhere. Later, a Yuanshen master transformed it into a secret realm for cultivating elixirs, and it was finally used by Yaowang Valley.
income.
After Xiao Zhen found a secret place, he deliberately took out the wooden key. This key was the key to him opening a small palace inside.
Unexpectedly, from the moment he took out the key, the ruins of the hall not far away started to make a buzzing sound.
Moreover, the magic circle that originally protected the main hall actually spread outward like ripples in water.
"No, the magic circle is going to disappear." Xiao Zhen's expression changed drastically after seeing the abnormality.
He never expected that the movement here would be so loud. If it continued like this, it would definitely attract everyone nearby.
By that time, he probably won't have a chance to make a move.
Soon after, Xiao Zhen stepped out from his hiding place and rushed into the palace in a few steps.
After he entered, the ruins of the hall returned to their original state again, as if what just happened had never happened at all.
