Chapter 1312: Absorbing Stone
The voice was deep and old, revealing a bit of majesty.
The most important thing was that Xiao Lin felt an inexplicable pressure from the voice. The only possibility in this situation was that the other party's realm was higher than his.
Then the other party told him where he was. Xiao Lin did not hesitate. He waved his sleeves and turned into a beam of light to soar into the sky, then slightly turned and headed towards Qianqing Island.
The guards at the city gate were nervously waiting for the powerful cultivator to enter the city. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly flew away when he arrived at the city gate. This scene puzzled them, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After Xiao Lin flew for hundreds of miles, he saw a valley where several peaks gathered. When Xiao Lin explored it before, he did not find the existence of this valley.
Obviously, this valley was shrouded in a powerful formation restriction before. The old voice opened the restriction after inviting himself.
Xiao Lin came to the valley entrance, and the thick fog in the valley dispersed to both sides by itself, revealing a wide road.
Xiao Lin's consciousness was soon rebounded by a gentle force. His face was slightly condensed, and then he walked towards the valley, and he was secretly alert in his heart.
After walking about a hundred feet, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly became clear. In front of him, dozens of feet away, there was a towering ancient tree, and under the tree, there were stone benches and stone chairs, and an old man was sitting on them.
Xiao Lin's eyes fell on an ancient cave behind the tree.
"Qianqing Ancient Cave?"
Xiao Lin understood that this Qianqing Ancient Cave should be the place where the old man in front of him practiced.
The old man seemed to sense Xiao Lin's arrival. He turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Lin. The old voice sounded again: "I didn't expect to meet someone of the same clan in this gravel sea. It can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I am presumptuous to invite you. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Lin felt a very oppressive breath from the old man in front of him. This breath was something he had never felt from the killer immortal who died at the hands of the early stage of fusion. Moreover, he could not see through the old man's realm at all, which meant that the old man in front of him was at least at the middle stage of fusion.
"It is an honor for the senior to invite you. I am Xiao Lin, the junior. I am honored to meet you. What is your name?" Xiao Lin did not dare to neglect it. After walking a few feet in front of the old man, he bowed respectfully and said.
"My surname is Shao. I have lived in Qianqing Valley for many years. I have forgotten it myself. Hey, please sit down, young friend."
The old man pointed to the opposite side and said.
Xiao Lin thanked him and sat down opposite the old man. At this time, Xiao Lin also saw that the old man was actually playing a game of Go, and he was playing against himself.
After Xiao Lin sat down, the old man waved his sleeves, and the Go disappeared without a trace, replaced by a set of tea sets.
"My friend, you came to Qianqing City to buy a soul weapon." The old man revealed Xiao Lin's purpose in one sentence.
Xiao Lin was not surprised. His realm was naturally clear in the eyes of the old man in front of him. A peak cultivator of the Void Refining Stage came to Qianqing Island to find a suitable soul weapon to impact the Fusion Stage.
"Senior, you have a keen eye. I am indeed here to buy soul weapons. Your surname is Shao, but you are from the immortal cultivation family behind the Soul Weapon Shop, one of the three major forces selling soul weapons in Wanhun City."
"Haha, my friend is smart. I am indeed from the Shao family, but I have not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. The reason why I invited you here this time is just that I happened to be wandering in the void and suddenly saw you, who is also a human. You seem to be young, but you have already advanced to the peak of the refining void. You are really the leader of our human race, so I invited you. Of course, I also want you to help me with something?"
"Senior, you are joking. How can my shallow cultivation be in your eyes? As for helping, I dare not overstep my bounds. If I ruin your big plan, I can't bear it."
After a pause, Xiao Lin continued: "Besides, with the strength of the Shao family in Qianqing Island, how could there be anything that cannot be done?"
Xiao Lin rejected the old man without hesitation.
This was also a smart move by Xiao Lin. The old man suddenly invited him to come, and he knew nothing about the old man. Moreover, with the old man's realm and cultivation, what he wanted to do was by no means easy.
He didn't want to go in the Chan River.
Now he just wanted to find out the whereabouts of the people of the Shenlian clan. As for other things, they were not within his consideration.
But the old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young friend, there is no need to rush to refuse. You should know that as long as you help me, the reward you get is exactly what you need?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this. The old man in front of him gave him a sense of unfathomable depth. Originally, he thought that the other party would not invite him for no reason. Now what he said was completely grasping his weakness. He obviously knew that his purpose was for the Horcrux, and the reward he mentioned was probably related to the Horcrux.
"Why did the senior choose the junior? The junior is at a low level and may not be able to complete the senior's entrustment." Xiao Lin was silent for a while before he opened his mouth to reply.
"Hehe, when I was wandering in the void before, I vaguely saw that you were emitting a light gray spiritual charm, connecting the heaven and earth and the universe. I think the rule power you are practicing should be the space rule, right?"
"I am indeed comprehending the space rule." Xiao Lin did not hide it and answered honestly.
"That's right. The power of space rules, as long as you reach a certain level, you will be exposed to some, but that is just the fur, just a superficial application of space rules. What I want to entrust to you this time requires people who truly comprehend the space rules. In this way, you should understand it."
Xiao Lin nodded, but sighed in his heart. At this point, what else can he say? The old man in front of him seems kind and kind, but at this level, it is still easy to hide his true thoughts.
It would not be wise for Xiao Lin to object rashly. At present, he can only pretend to be acquiescent and make a decision after seeing how dangerous this matter is and what benefits he can get.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin said, "But I don't know what the senior wants me to do? What is the reward? Only then can I consider it."
The old man nodded, as if to express his approval of Xiao Lin's caution.
Then the old man began to tell the story.
It turned out that the old man's name was Shao Pengzu, the real controller of the Shao family of Qianqing Island, and the person with the highest realm in the Shao family.
But three thousand years ago, in order to create a third-level soul weapon, Shao Pengzu went to an unfamiliar sea area, where there was a secret realm. It was rumored that this secret realm was connected to the Yellow Springs, and perhaps the Ghost King Tree could be found.
The Ghost King Tree will produce 108 fruits every ten thousand years, and these fruits are soul-catching beads.
Shao Pengzu and his teammates entered the secret realm together, and indeed entered the Yellow Springs, but they did not find the Ghost King Tree, but found a scarce material in the spirit world-soul crystal.
When Xiao Lin heard about the soul crystal, his heart was moved.
Soul crystals can not only be used by cultivators to improve their soul power, but are also precious materials for refining soul tools, which can greatly enhance the power of soul tools.
Even some high-quality soul crystals, when incorporated into the soul tools during refining, can also give the soul tools some special abilities, such as the power of soul shattering, etc.
In the spirit world, in terms of preciousness, it is probably second only to the soul-capturing beads.
However, Shao Pengzu never expected that after the two of them obtained dozens of soul crystals, his teammates actually attacked from behind in order to take all the soul crystals for themselves, and performed the extremely vicious Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint magical power in the world of cultivation.
Shao Pengzu was hit on the back by the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint, and his meridians were broken inch by inch, and his Dantian Qi Sea was also sealed. After the meridians were shattered by the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint, they could not be repaired, because the magic power emitted by the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint contained space-type magical powers, which could block the power of medicine stones. In other words, once the meridians were shattered by the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint, even if you took elixirs, it would be useless.
Although Shao Pengzu's meridians were shattered, he relied on his powerful divine power and the trump cards of several magical powers he mastered to kill his teammates at the last critical moment, and then escaped from the secret realm.
After returning to Qianqing Island, he found that he was hit by the vicious Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint. In desperation, he could only be trapped in this valley and planned to spend the rest of his life.
But by chance, he found a way to remove the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint in an ancient book, that is, to find the legendary Void Absorption Stone, devour the power of the Broken Veins Sealing Heaven Handprint in the body, and then supplement with the Zuo Xumai Lingdan, so that he can recover.
"Void Absorption Stone?" Hearing this name, Xiao Lin was also surprised. This [Void Absorption Stone] is not a thing in the spiritual world, but a strange stone that exists in the void of the universe. This strange stone can absorb various energies and broken stones, gather together, and thus turn into huge meteorites or even gather and condense into planets.
It is even rumored that the origin of each interface is a huge Void Absorption Stone that has been absorbed and evolved for billions of years, and then gradually formed various interfaces.
It is impossible to enter the origin of the spiritual world, let alone him and Shao Pengzu, even a Mahayana cultivator with perfect rule power may not be able to enter it.
The Void Absorption Stone in the universe is even more unreal. Although Xiao Lin has cultivated the power of space rules, he can only control a small range of space. If he wants to enter the universe, it is no different from committing suicide.
Moreover, the Void Absorption Stone is not everywhere in the universe. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find it even if you search for it in the universe for a lifetime.
Therefore, looking for the Void Absorption Stone is an impossible task in Xiao Lin's view.
Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Shao Pengzu seemed to be able to guess what Xiao Lin was thinking. He waved his hand and said, "I will naturally not let you go to the universe to find the Void Absorption Stone. I know a secret place, which is connected to a Xumi Cave Mansion, and in that cave, there is the Void Absorption Stone."
"Sumeru Cave Mansion?" Xiao Lin's face changed. This Sumeru Cave Mansion was definitely not ordinary. The so-called Sumeru Cave Mansion was a cave opened up in the void of the universe by a powerful cultivator through great magical powers in a weak place in space.
According to legend, only true immortals would open up a Sumeru Cave Mansion to absorb various forces in the universe and practice various immortal magical powers.
Of course, for a powerful cultivator in the spiritual world, if he could find a weak place in space, he could also use magic power to refine a Sumeru Cave Mansion. However, such a cave would be quite fragile in the void of the universe. Once it encountered a cosmic storm, it would be destroyed almost instantly.
Therefore, this kind of Sumeru Cave Mansion would not be used as a cultivation cave. It would usually be used by cultivators as a storage room for some precious items, or to open up spiritual fields in it and cultivate various high-level spiritual medicines.
The void of the universe is an uncivilized land filled with all kinds of energy. The spiritual medicines grown in this environment have better efficacy and a higher probability of producing superior spiritual pills. In particular, some unclassified spiritual medicines prefer this environment.
"The Xumi Cave Mansion that I know about is actually just a guess, but from various signs, I am at least 50% sure. If you want to build the Xumi Cave Mansion, you must use the Void Absorption Stone. As long as you can help me get the Void Absorption Stone, then I promise to help you get a desired defensive soul weapon, which can naturally resist the soul thunder and heavenly tribulation."
Xiao Lin frowned slightly when he heard this. Entering the Xumi space is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will fall into the void of the universe and never recover. Shao Pengzu's words of helping him get a desired soul weapon made him dare not believe it easily. Although the Shao family started out by refining soul weapons, Wanhun Trading Company and Mohun Building did not sell third-level defensive soul weapons. Xiao Lin did not believe that the Shao family would be stronger than these two major trading companies.
"I wonder how you can help me get a soul weapon I like? Besides, for a soul weapon, I have to risk eternal damnation. I'm sorry I can't agree to this."
After thinking about it, Xiao Lin refused. The Xumi Cave is illusory. Even if it really exists as Shao Pengzu said, after entering it, there will be many uncertain and dangerous factors.
I have the soul-catching bead in my hand. It's only a matter of time to get a satisfactory soul weapon. Why risk my life for it?
"Young friend, please don't rush to refuse. Just listen to what I have to say."
Shao Pengzu continued, "I am sure that no one has ever entered this Xumi Cave Mansion. There may be many treasures inside. I don't want any treasures except the Void Absorption Stone. All of them belong to you. In addition, I have a Hell Order here. This Hell Order is the token of the Shenlian Clan. Ten thousand years ago, I was indebted to the Shenlian Clan, and the Shenlian Clan gave me this Hell Order in return. As long as you have this token, whether you want a finished soul weapon or want the Shenlian Clan to refine one according to your needs, it is all possible."
