Chapter 210: First Exploration of the Secret Vault

A dark and windy night is not only a good time for murder and arson, but also a good time for stealing and robbing.

On the night he returned to the Five Elements Sect, Xiao Mian could not wait to rush to a small valley on the west side of Jinxiao Peak.

According to the information obtained by Guitou from Yuan Yuan Zhenren's soul, Yuan Yuan Zhenren originally moved most of the artifacts in the secret library of Jinxiao Peak to this small valley, fearing that if something happened to him, Lu Chengzhi could still rely on these artifacts to make a comeback.

But now that Lu Chengzhi was driven out of the Five Elements Sect and became a guest of honor of the Demon Shadow Sect, Xiao Mian was naturally the one who took over the artifacts moved from the secret library of Jinxiao Peak.

As far as Xiao Mian knew, each of the five veins secret libraries of the Five Elements Sect had its own merits.

The secret vaults of the Fire Vein Yanzhu Peak contain mostly consumables such as Fire Thunder Beads and Talismans; the secret vaults of the Water Vein Bibotan contain mostly defensive magic tools; the secret vaults of the Wood Vein Changchun Peak contain mostly elixirs; and the secret vaults of the Gold Vein Jinxiao Peak contain mostly offensive magic tools, most of which are flying swords; as for the secret vaults of the Earth Vein Houtuping, it is the highest level secret vault of the sect, and the things inside cover a wide range, probably all kinds of utensils, and the quality is definitely not comparable to the other four veins.

Xiao Mian doesn't care about ordinary flying swords, after all, even the top-level magic flying swords of excellent quality may not be as good as his Xuanfeng Sword.

But from the memory of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, Xiao Mian learned that there was originally a group of "Exquisite Gold Silk" of the seventh grade hidden in the secret vault of Jinxiao Peak, which was accidentally obtained by the predecessors of the Jinxiao Peak lineage, but they could not find a suitable refiner and had not been used.

If nothing unexpected happened, it is expected that this thing has been embezzled by Yuan Yuan Zhenren and placed in the small valley.

The exquisite gold thread itself is not as sharp as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold. Its physical properties are very special. Its greatest use is to combine various spiritual materials into one. It is a good fusion agent when refining flying swords.

The reason why Xiao Mian wanted to get this exquisite gold thread was naturally to prepare for his flying sword that had not yet been born.

A few days ago, Xiao Mian had obtained the Sky Meteorite Fire Spirit Crystal separated by Gui Tou. Because of the mixing of the Galaxy Star Sand, the grade was reduced and Xiao Mian called it the Sky Meteorite Star Crystal. If the exquisite gold thread was added, his new flying sword would be halfway in hand.

Of course, even if it was not for this exquisite gold thread, Xiao Mian also planned to explore this nameless valley. Maybe there are treasures that Yuan Yuan Zhenren missed!

After searching the entire valley, Xiao Mian still couldn't find the entrance to the illusion array in Yuan Yuan Zhenren's memory. Yuan Yuan Zhenren moved the treasures from the secret vault of Jin Xiao Peak here, so naturally he would not have arranged it without any arrangement. However, Yuan Yuan Zhenren's soul was not complete at the beginning, and after being devoured by Gui Tou, it was even more incomplete, so Xiao Mian only knew that there was an illusion array covering the valley, but he didn't find the entrance and flaws of the illusion array.

"Ghost Master, have you found anything?"

Since Gui Tou claimed to be a master of array formation, Xiao Mian, who had nothing to gain, would naturally not ignore its existence.

The ghost head emerged from Xiao Mian's body, shook his head and stretched, and then looked around with his nose twitching.

On a dark night, the valley was like a dark area, but it had no effect on Gui Tou, who used soul perception.

After a moment of silence, Gui Tou led Xiao Mian to a huge rock and signaled Xiao Mian to smash it.

This was naturally not difficult for Xiao Mian. After the boulder collapsed, a formation disk was exposed. Just when Xiao Mian was delighted, Guitou said, "Don't be too happy too soon!"

"What? Isn't this a magic array disk?"

"No! The magic array arranged in this small valley is quite sophisticated. It is conservatively estimated to be no less than the fifth level. Even my soul consciousness cannot find the flaws in a short time. However, it is precisely because of the pursuit of perfection that the range of the magic array covers the entire small valley. If you want to operate such a large magic array for a long time, you must have a spirit gathering array to provide energy for the magic array!" As he said this, Guitou pointed to the array disk in Xiao Mian's hand and explained, "This is the array disk of the spirit gathering array, and there is more than one. There are a total of nine in the small valley!"

After that, under Guitou's instructions, Xiao Mian took out all the other eight spirit gathering array disks and put them into the storage bag.

The grade of these nine spirit gathering arrays is not low, and they may be useful in the future.

They are arranged in the small valley with the momentum of nine nine returning to one, providing spiritual power for the magic array covering the entire small valley. After clearing the nine spirit gathering arrays, Xiao Mian quietly left the valley, left this place, and returned to Bi Bo Tan.

According to Gui Tou's instructions, taking away the nine spirit gathering arrays will not immediately affect the illusion array in the valley. Instead of waiting foolishly, it is better to leave.

Seven days later, on a moonlit night, without wind, Xiao Mian returned to the valley.

As soon as he entered the valley, Gui Tou suddenly rushed out of Xiao Mian's body, floating around in the valley, and then stopped in front of a huge ancient tree.

"Is the entrance to the illusion array here?"

"It should be correct, you might as well sense it yourself."

Xiao Mian calmed down after hearing this, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air. Sure enough, he sensed that a trace of spiritual energy was emanating from the ancient tree.

After that, under the guidance of Guitou, Xiao Mian dug out a nine-sided square disk from the roots of the ancient tree. As soon as the array disk was opened, there was a wave in the small valley. Although the scene did not change drastically, there were many subtle changes, especially the ancient tree. A dark tree hole appeared on the thick trunk, like the huge mouth of a monster that was ready to eat people.

"It turned out to be underground!"

Feeling the good intentions of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, Xiao Mian jumped into the tree hole, which really led directly to the underground. After flying down a thousand feet, Xiao Mian finally landed on the ground.

As soon as Xiao Mian's feet stepped on the ground, two rows of flames suddenly jumped out of the cave that was originally as dark as night, swaying in the wind, like ghost fire. Looking around with the help of these two rows of flames, the tree hole where Xiao Mian came down was above his head. There was not much open space next to it. There was only a small path winding between the two rows of flames, leading to the unknown distance.

I think this should be a natural cave, but it was used by Yuan Yuan Zhenren.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian slowly moved forward under the swaying flames.

At first, Xiao Mian's speed was not fast, but as time went by, he unconsciously began to fly on the sword. He flew for a full hour and traveled no less than a thousand miles.

Xiao Mian was secretly shocked. After careful calculation, he had left the area of ​​Wuxing Mountain, but he had not seen the so-called treasure cave of Yuan Yuan Zhenren.

Just when Xiao Mian was about to pause, the flames in front of him suddenly stopped, which shocked Xiao Mian and made him catch up.

At the end of the flame, there was another flat land. Above the open land, there was still a straight black hole, which was obviously used to connect to the ground. On the wall of the cave at the end, there was a broken portal painted on the stone wall.

When Xiao Mian saw this, he knew that he had found the place.

In the memory of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, this portal painted on the stone wall was extremely clear. This was the last portal to enter the treasure cave.

Taking a deep breath, converting the true energy in his body into golden spiritual energy, Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone wall, transmitting the golden spiritual energy in his body continuously. As time went by, the lines of the broken portal painted on the stone wall became clearer and clearer, and the portal on the stone wall became more and more complete. When a golden portal about ten feet high appeared on the stone wall, Xiao Mian's true energy was less than 30% left.

In addition to being shocked, Xiao Mian was also quite impressed by Yuan Yuan Zhenren's good intentions.

You should know that Yuan Yuan Zhenren himself has dual-attribute spiritual roots of fire and wood, but he set the portal of this treasure cave so that non-metallic spiritual energy cannot open it. It is especially obvious that this treasure cave is clearly reserved for Lu Chengzhi. If it were not for Xiao Mian's Sanqing Guiyuan body that could reverse the five elements and derive metallic spiritual energy, I am afraid that only Yuanying ancestors like Dan Qiusheng could be asked to force the portal open by violent means and enter the treasure cave.

At this time, Xiao Mian naturally did not have this worry. Seeing that the golden door was flashing with golden light and gradually fading, Xiao Mian knew that time was running out, and he walked into the stone wall without taking the time to adjust his breath.

The stone wall, which was originally as hard as iron, sent out a ripple-like ripple when Xiao Mian took a step, wrapping Xiao Mian and swallowing it in.
