Chapter 438: Ruins of Ancient Ruins
Three days later, Xiao Mu returned to Pozhen Mountain.
"Breakthrough to the fourth level is complete?"
In the warehouse of Pozhen Mountain, the wretched old man looked dull and couldn't believe his eyes.
It was just a mission, and in less than a month, Xiao Mu actually broke through, and broke through consecutively, reaching the fourth level of perfection, and if he went further, he would be comparable to him.
"real or fake?"
The wretched old man rubbed his cloudy old eyes, and stared at Xiao Mu in disbelief.
"Senior, hello, we meet again!"
Xiao Mu smiled.
"Unexpectedly, it really... really broke through!"
The wretched old man finally accepted the fact that Xiao Mu had successfully broken through to the fourth realm, and exclaimed, "This speed... this speed is too fast, boy, what are you going to do? Are you going to buy the door god map information?"
"Senior guessed it right. I did come here for the information about the door god map. These are thirty energy fruits."
Xiao Mu took out thirty energy fruits and placed them in front of the wretched old man one by one.
"OK!"
The wretched old man laughed. When he saw the energy fruit, his saliva almost flowed out. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he put away the energy fruit at an extremely fast speed, as if he was worried that someone would snatch it from him.
"That's right, that's right, it's indeed thirty energy fruits, and it hasn't been long since they were picked."
The wretched old man took out an energy fruit, put it near his nose and sniffed it, looking deeply intoxicated.
Xiao Mu just smiled and said nothing.
The strength of this wretched old man is stronger than he guessed before, at least he has stepped into the fifth realm.
As for the stage of the fifth realm, Xiao Mu couldn't judge for a while because the other party didn't release his breath.
"Senior, information about the door god map..."
"I almost forgot if you didn't mention it."
The wretched old man gave a dry laugh, came back to his senses, and hurriedly put away the energy fruit.
Xiao Mu was speechless for a while, but he didn't rush.
"Young man, if you want a door god picture, you can go to this place to find it."
The wretched old man said, and took out a piece of paper.
Xiao Mu reached out and took it. This is a map.
After looking carefully for a moment, Xiao Mu frowned slightly.
If nothing else, this is an ancient cave map.
The ancient cave, located near the ruins of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, was created at the beginning of the world's mutation. It was originally an ancient tomb.
The door god picture is somewhere in the ancient cave.
However, according to the markings on the map, this ancient cave is extremely dangerous, and even the fifth-level powerhouses cannot easily enter it.
It is said that a strong man from the fifth realm once entered, but did not come out in the end. It is very likely that he encountered an accident and died in the ancient cave.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but look sad.
Looking at the wretched old man, "Senior, this...is this the location information of the other door god map? This place is a place of death."
The wretched old man didn't take it seriously, "Death? What's the matter with death? Boy Xiao, you don't think that the door god picture will be placed in a safe place, do you? Isn't it possible for anyone to go there and take the door god picture away?"
What the old man said was reasonable. If it was placed in a safe area, the door god map would have been taken away by others, and Xiao Mu would not be able to get it.
In addition, if it is safe, maybe this wretched old man sold the two pictures of door gods together before, instead of selling one of them separately.
One of them was sold separately, it must be because the other door god picture, due to his strength, could not be taken out at that time.
Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that even with the strength of the wretched old man, he couldn't take out the door god picture.
This wretched old man is a strong man in the fifth realm.
How dangerous is the place where even the strongest in the fifth realm can't take out the door god map? Even if he went, how confident would he be to take out the door god picture?
Xiao Mu said: "Even if it's not in a safe place, it shouldn't be in such a dangerous place, right? The ancient cave mentioned by the predecessors, can the strong of the fifth realm enter?"
"Hehe! Hehe!"
The wretched old man laughed dryly when he heard the words, and when Xiao Mu told the truth, his old face became a little embarrassed.
He patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder, "Boy Xiao, riches and honor come with risks. If you want treasures, how can you do it without taking some risks? To tell you the truth, this picture of a door god is different from the one I sold you before." , but has mutated."
"Already mutated?"
After hearing this, Xiao Mu's heart moved.
The power of a naturally mutated door god map is bound to be extraordinary, and it is very likely that it is more powerful than the one in my hand.
Even so, he frowned the next moment.
No matter how powerful it is, so what? In such a dangerous place as the ancient cave, once he entered, he was afraid that he would die immediately.
Compared with treasures, of course one's own life is more important.
"The mutated treasure is priceless. As a fifth-level powerhouse, senior, why don't you go get it yourself?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
The wretched old man laughed dryly again.
Xiao Mu said helplessly: "With the strength of the seniors, I dare not break into the ancient cave to get the door god map, let alone me?"
Immediately, he had a feeling of being cheated, that he was cheated by the wretched old man.
Thirty energy fruits are not too many for him at this time, but he still feels uncomfortable.
"Boy Xiao, how about this, the old man will give you another thing."
The wretched old man obviously felt that it was too much, and he took something out, which was an ancient bronze ring, and handed it to Xiao Mu, "I got this treasure outside the ancient cave, and it is related to the ancient cave. For entering and exiting the ancient cave, maybe If I can provide some help, I will give it to you for free."
"This is also a treasure. It's worth more than your thirty energy fruits. It's cheaper than you!"
Seeing him reluctantly, as if cutting flesh, the value of this bronze ring seems to be higher than that of thirty energy fruits.
Xiao Mu took the bronze ring dumbfounded, "Senior, I just want the door god picture."
"Not enough yet? Isn't this ring worth thirty energy fruits?"
The wretched old man stared, and a violent aura was released in vain, which made Xiao Mu's heart jump.
"Go! Go! If you don't take the ring, I won't see you off."
The wretched old man waved his hand and began to drive Xiao Mu away.
never mind!
Xiao Mu's came out of the warehouse.
At worst, just spend money to buy a lesson.
Take out the bronze ring and watch carefully.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help being surprised.
This bronze ring actually had a strange aura, a special power was circulating in it, carrying a strange power.
The breath of reality?
No, it is some kind of special energy particle.
To turn everything into reality, or to break from the fourth realm to the fifth realm, what is needed is this special energy particle.
Including the particle of death, the particle of life, the particle of destruction, the yang particle, and the yin particle.
This kind of special energy particle is the fundamental reason for people to break through the mortal realm and step into the real realm.
At the same time, it is also this special energy particle that exerts special power.
This is the fundamental sign that distinguishes the ordinary realm from the real realm.
Realizing that there were some kind of special energy particles in the bronze ring, Xiao Mu's expression gradually became dignified, and there was a hint of joy.
I couldn't help but input a wave of Daoist aura into it, trying to sense the strange energy particles in the bronze ring.
Boo!
However, immediately, the spiritual energy of Taoism output by Xiao Mu was like a small blister being punctured by the tip of a needle, and quickly shattered.
The energy in the bronze ring is much higher than the energy provided by the Taoist aura in his body, and it is impossible to enter.
"Weird! Awesome!"
Xiao Mu looked surprised.
The energy particles contained in this bronze ring are obviously extraordinary.
Although at this moment, he still couldn't confirm what kind of energy particles were in the ring, it still shocked him.
"Strange, didn't the old man realize that this ring contains powerful energy particles? If he knew, how could he be willing to give me such a precious treasure?"
According to Xiao Mu's estimate, the energy particles contained in the bronze ring are not too many, but even so, its value is still astonishing.
Without a hundred energy fruits, it is absolutely impossible to buy them.
You know, this kind of strange energy particles is the basis for the cultivation of the fifth-level powerhouse or the real-level powerhouse.
It is different from the mutants in the fourth realm and before the fourth realm.
Take the fourth-level mutant or Xiao Mu at this time as an example. To practice, you only need to have enough energy fruits to absorb energy.
However, after stepping into the fifth realm, it is different. In addition to the energy provided by the energy fruit, it also needs that special energy particle.
The type of energy particles is related to the cultivation direction chosen by the practitioner himself when he became enlightened.
For example, the Qingyan monk, what he needs is the holy lotus flame.
Without energy particles like the Holy Lotus Flame, no matter how many energy fruits he himself ate, he would never be able to store them.
"I don't know what kind of energy particles are inside the ring? Can I enter the fifth realm after absorbing this kind of energy particles?"
Xiao Mu guessed, and suddenly his heart beat.
If the energy particles contained in the ring can allow him to enter the fifth realm after absorbing it, then he doesn't even need to go to the realm of reality and emptiness.
For him, the Pozhen Mountain at this time contained a huge hidden danger, and if he was not careful, he might be killed.
Just like Yang Lei.
Even though Xiao Mu had used tricks to blame Wu Song, Yang Lei mistakenly thought that Yang Jin died in Wu Song's hands.
But who knows that one day Yang Lei will not know that it was not Wu Song who killed Yang Jin, but himself?
After this world has mutated, there are many kinds of weird means, and Yang Lei may know the truth at some point.
There is not much time left for Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu has a huge sense of crisis in his heart all the time.
"pity!"
After a while, Xiao Mu shook his head regretfully.
He tried many ways to detect the strange energy particles in the bronze ring, but failed every time.
"It seems that the energy particles in this ring cannot be absorbed. Maybe it has other uses, forget it, put it away first, and go to the ancient cave near the ruins of the Yin and Shang Dynasties tomorrow to explore the situation and see if it can be taken out. Door God Map."
Putting the bronze ring into the Dadiyin space, Xiao Mu walked to the residence.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xiao here, can I take a step to speak?"
"It's you!"
Xiao Mu's face was not very good-looking.
This person was actually Feng Yuzi, the green-haired old man who had struck up a conversation with him on the passenger plane.
At that time, Xiao Mu had an evil spirit because of this person, and he was an evil spirit enlightened, so he didn't want to have more contact with this person.
I didn't expect to meet this person again as soon as I left the warehouse.
"It turns out that Mr. Xiao still remembers me. It's an honor! Mr. Xiao, can you take a step to speak?"
Feng Yuzi had a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his gloomy aura, his superficial smile made people extremely uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you!"
Xiao Mu didn't want to talk more with Feng Yuzi, so he strayed past him.
"Hehe! That's a pity. I still want to talk to Mr. Xiao about Yang Jin's death."
Feng Yuzi suddenly let out a sinister laugh, and stared at Xiao Mu firmly.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Xiao Mu stopped in his tracks, stared at Feng Yuzi firmly, and murderous intent emerged secretly.
This person seems to know something.
Yang Jin's death was like a ticking time bomb to Xiao Mu, which could threaten his life at any time.
"Yeah?"
Feng Yuzi didn't smile, and stared fixedly at Xiao Mu's face, trying to see something from the change in Xiao Mu's expression, "Yang Jin's death was very unexpected, I thought Mr. Xiao should know something about it. "
"Hehe! When Yang Jin entered the infinite valley, he walked with Ying Long. As far as I know, the main purpose of Ying Long's entry into the valley was not for the energy fruit, but for Mr. Xiao. Could it be that in the valley, Mr. Xiao has never met to him?"
Xiao Mu's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, "Ying Long? He does have a grudge against me. However, I didn't meet this person in the Infinite Valley."
"Really? I thought Ying Long found Mr. Xiao. Hehe! There are too many doubts about Yang Jin's death, and there may be other factors. I think Commander Yang Lei and Yang must really want to know this information."'
"If you have any doubts, you should tell Commander Yang!"
Xiao Mu's expression remained unchanged, but infinite murderous intent surged in his heart.
Taking a deep look at Feng Yuzi, Xiao Mu walked past him calmly.
"Mr. Xiao, take care. If you have time to spare and are willing to talk to me, I, Feng Yuzi, will definitely entertain you with all my heart."
If there is any deep meaning in Feng Yuzi's words, it is obvious that Yang Jin's death, even if it was not caused by Xiao Mu, must have something to do with Xiao Mu, but it is just speculation for the time being, without sufficient evidence.
Xiao Mu snorted coldly, the murderous intent appeared on his face and then disappeared.
Ignore Feng Yuzi and walk directly to the residence.
"Zhou Ying, you go to No. 129 and ask Liu Du to come over at night and say that I have important matters to discuss with him. Come here quietly and don't disturb anyone."
As soon as he returned to his residence, Xiao Mu sent Zhou Ying to invite Liu Du.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, I'll go right away!"
Seeing Xiao Mu's solemn expression, Zhou Ying immediately stood up, ready to notify Liu Du.
"Wait, let's go at night."
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Mu stopped Zhou Ying again.
At the entrance of the valley, Liu Du asked Wu Song whether Yang Jin was killed by him. Many people saw it. As soon as he returned to his residence, he sent Zhou Ying to look for Liu Du. cause trouble.
If Feng Yuzi sees it, it is even more likely to guess something.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao."
Zhou Ying stopped and didn't ask any more questions.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you need from me?"
At night, Liu Du appeared at Xiao Mu's manor.
"Liu Du, I want you to leave Pozhen Mountain and don't come back for at least a month."
...
After sending Liu Du away, Xiao Mu was obviously relieved.
He introduced Liu Du to the Qingshan Temple where the Qingyan Monk was. With the strength of Qingyan Monk's fifth realm, at least during this period of time, Liu Du's safety could be guaranteed.
Afterwards, Xiao Mu began to prepare for the trip to the ancient cave.
Early the next morning, he left Pozhen Mountain and took a plane to the ruins of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the city where the ancient cave was located.
He planned to get the other half of the door god map, at least to try to see if he could get it out of the ancient cave.
