Chapter 35 Seeds

The wine pools and pavilions disappeared after the immortal wine was sucked dry by the gourd. Qingyang vaguely felt that this should have something to do with the wine gourd. Maybe it was the wine gourd that did all this, but this matter was too complicated. With his current experience, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

In any case, these immortal wines did not benefit those immortal masters who got something for nothing. Now even the wine pools disappeared, leaving no evidence, which saved him a lot of explanation. As for the wine gourd and the wine pool, there is plenty of time to study them slowly after returning.

Now I am still at the bottom of the pit, and I must find a way to climb up. Qingyang looked up and found that the length and width of the earth pit were more than ten feet, and the depth was about four feet. There was a certain slope around it, not the kind that went straight up and down.

This is easy to do. Qingyang retreated a distance and then ran forward. When he was close to the slope, he suddenly accelerated, and his body ran on the slope by inertia.

Although Qingyang is not a top-notch martial arts master like Songhe Laodao, he has been learning from his master for nearly ten years and can be ranked third-rate. He still has certain strength. The inertia of running plus the light body kung fu he deliberately displayed, his body rose more than three feet in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the inertia has been exhausted. Qingyang hurriedly threw out the thin line in his hand, put the hook at the other end of the paparazzi on a platform far away, and finally jumped out of the earth pit with the help of the pulling force of the thin line.

Qingyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at the big pit behind him, and was very scared. Fortunately, this pit was not deep. If it was deeper, he might fall to death. Even if he didn't fall to death, the current depth is almost the limit of what he can climb up. If he can't climb up because of the depth of the pit, he will eventually starve to death below.

Fortunately, this time there was no danger, and he didn't get hurt, and the harvest was not small. The fairy wine was all received in the gourd, and he could study it slowly when he went back. If the master knew that he had found the essence of the immortal wine for him, I wonder how happy he would be.

In the entire hall, only the black pile of garbage on the far right was left to be explored. After a short rest, Qingyang walked towards the pile of garbage on the right.

This pile of garbage seemed to be no different from the one in the alchemy room. It was estimated that there was nothing good in it. Last time, three black beetles jumped out of it. Qingyang did not dare to be careless. He first found a piece of wood and picked up all the things in the garbage pile to confirm that there was no danger. Then he took the spirit-judging plate and turned over the entire pile of garbage bit by bit.

He was doing all the work alone, so his efficiency was much lower. He took two breaks in the middle and then went through the entire pile of garbage. As for the harvest, as expected, he only found a few pieces of wood with some spirituality, which was less than the harvest in the alchemy room.

After doing all this, Qingyang was ready to go to the cave entrance to report, and suddenly saw a high platform next to it. There seemed to be a huge wooden box on it. Qingyang's heart rose again. He quickly climbed up the platform and opened the wooden box.

There were still some blackened garbage in the wooden box. After digging with his hands, four small black things rolled out. Qingyang picked it up and looked at it carefully. He could barely recognize that the largest one was a peach pit, but he couldn't tell the others apart.

It looked like some fruit pits, seeds, etc., but they were a little black after being stored for a long time. Those that could be placed here should not be ordinary things. Ordinary seeds must not have been kept until now. However, Qingyang tried it with the spirit-detecting plate, but there was no reaction at all. I don't know if it was because the level was too high and the spirit-detecting plate couldn't detect it, or if the spirituality inside had been lost and became useless.

Since it was not what the immortal master wanted, he would keep it for himself. Maybe it would be useful in the future. Qingyang casually put a few seeds into the bag of food behind him.

Now the entire hall has been explored. Qingyang rested for a while and returned to the edge of the cave with a few pieces of wood found in the garbage dump. He first sent all the things out of the cave, and then performed the bone-shrinking skill and came out of the cave.

Seeing Qingyang return safely, Taoist Songhe snorted and turned his head away, deliberately not looking at his disciple, perhaps he was still angry with Qingyang for not listening to his advice. But his eyes were misty, the wrinkles on his face stretched, and his joy seemed to be unable to be concealed at all.

Others were concerned about the harvest in the hall, and regardless of whether Qingyang needed to rest and replenish his energy, they all surrounded him and asked about the process of treasure hunting inside. Hu Zhensong also asked while carefully observing Qingyang's demeanor when he spoke, to see if he had anything to hide.

Although Qingyang was young, he had been walking in the rivers and lakes with Taoist Songhe, an old liar who could cheat and deceive everything, for nearly ten years. How could he not understand Hu Zhensong's thoughts? So he talked to everyone with seven points of truth and three points of falsehood.

Qingyang explained most of the situation in the hall, only the matter of the seeds and everything about the wine pool were concealed. He felt that there was no need to talk about the seeds, and the matter of the wine pool was too outrageous, and the consequences were too serious, so he dared not talk about it. He only said that he found a big pit on the left and accidentally fell when he went down to explore it.

I don’t know if it’s because he has an honest face and looks convincing, or because he is young and others don’t think he will lie, or because he is a good liar, no one doubts his words.

Everyone was certainly disappointed. They wasted so much energy, and one person died and one was injured in the team. In the end, they only found two metal plates and a few broken pieces of wood. It was really not worth the loss. However, compared with the harvest of only a few pieces of wood in the alchemy room last time, everyone had already been mentally prepared, and did not blame Qingyang.

Qingyang entered the cave from the entrance yesterday afternoon and stayed in the hall for more than a day. Everyone was delayed in this place for nearly two days. Now, six days have passed since entering this secret place. More than one-third of the time given by the immortal masters has passed. I don’t know if the remaining time is enough to explore the entire secret place.

However, everyone is just an ordinary person, not a god who can fast. If you are hungry, you have to eat, if you are thirsty, you have to drink water, and if you are tired, you have to rest. There is no point in being anxious.

After explaining the things in the hall, Qingyang found a corner to rest. He performed the bone shrinking skill twice and was busy in the hall for a day. He was really a little tired. The others had been waiting outside. Although they were not tired, they had to wait for the sake of Taoist Master Songhe. So they rested outside the hall for another night and set out again the next morning.
