Chapter 605 Crystal Lotus, Strange Flying Sword (Combined Chapter)

The entrance of the cave is less than two feet in radius and can only accommodate one person. It is pitch black and you can't see the bottom, but the spiritual energy coming out of it is slightly more dense than that in the stone cave.

When Song Qingyu was searching near here before, he keenly noticed this and found the hidden clues under the stone table.

Song Qingming looked at the bottom of the cave and said with some joy on his face: "The spiritual energy below is so dense, it should be the real cave hidden by this senior!"

"I think so, the demon king just now is just a common spirit beast for spirit hunting and treasure hunting. It has been hiding here for so long, and it has been cultivated to the middle stage of the golden elixir. It can be seen that this senior should have left a lot of good things down there.

There is nothing useful in this stone cave, let's hurry up and take a look!" Hearing this, He Mengxin nodded slightly and agreed.

Xia Mo, who was standing aside, stared at the entrance of the cave carefully for a few times, and didn't say much, and quickly nodded to agree with He Mengxin's proposal.

In order to prevent any dangerous monsters, or forbidden formations and mechanisms below, everyone was not anxious this time.

Song Qingming tapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and summoned several "golden fantasy butterflies" directly, and then commanded them to fly into the cave to explore first.

After about a cup of tea, Song Qingming, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened his eyes and said to everyone with a smile: "There is a larger space about two hundred feet below.

I looked around and didn't find any living things, nor did I touch any forbidden formations. There shouldn't be any big danger below."

"That's great! Then let's go down first!" After Xia Mo finished speaking, a burst of light floated under his feet, and he jumped into the black hole in front of him first, and soon disappeared in front of everyone.

Then He Mengxin and Song Qingyu jumped down one after another, and Song Qingming fell at the end.

After the four people passed through the passage hundreds of feet away, they soon landed on a very flat bluestone.

After taking a look around, Song Qingming and his companions immediately showed some joy. The space below and the stone cave above looked almost the same on the surface, except that the space was slightly larger.

However, there were more spiritual objects placed around than above, and in the middle, there was a huge refining furnace that had not been used for a long time.

Seeing this refining furnace, everyone immediately understood that the magic tools and treasures seen on it before should have been refined here by the owner of the cave.

He Mengxin stepped forward and took a look at the restriction under the furnace, and said with a surprised face:

"There is actually a high-level fire vein here. The owner of the cave chose to open the cave here, probably for this fire vein.

Fortunately, this person had sealed the ground fire below with a restriction before leaving, otherwise no one has been here to guard it for so many years. Once the ground fire spreads up, all the spiritual objects in this cave will probably be reduced to ashes."

Hearing He Mengxin say that there is still a high-level fire vein here, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu also showed a little surprise.

The so-called fire vein is the favorite place of almost all alchemists and weapon refiners in the world of immortal cultivation.

In such a place, as long as the ground vein is penetrated to lead the ground fire in the ground vein out, and then the formation and restriction are arranged to control the ground fire, it can be used for alchemy and weapon refining all year round.

Using earth fire to refine spiritual objects is not only more stable, it can increase the success rate of cultivators in refining spiritual objects, and it can also save cultivators a lot of spiritual stones for purchasing fire-starting materials.

Low-level fire veins are not difficult to find. Many immortal cultivation families in Weiguo who have established their foundation have their own fire veins for family alchemy and refining.

After so many years of development, the Song family has also found a low-level fire vein with better quality on Funiu Mountain, and built a family alchemy pavilion on it, which can barely allow family cultivators to refine first- and second-level low-level elixirs and magic tools.

Compared with low-level fire veins, better-grade mid-level fire veins are relatively rare. There are not many of them in all the spiritual mountains in the entire Weiguo, and most of them are in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect.

There is also a mid-level fire vein on Tuoyun Mountain, which was developed by Chen Jinliang in the past and is usually used for his own alchemy.

After Chen Jinliang passed away, because there were no more alchemists above level three on Tuoyun Mountain, Lin Yutang and his team had not used this fire vein much in recent years, so they simply opened it to all the cultivators on the mountain.

No matter who wants to make pills or refine weapons, they can use that fire vein by spending some spirit stones.

Relying on this Jinyun Pavilion, not only did it attract many high-level alchemists and refiners to settle in Tuoyun Mountain, but every year Jinyun Pavilion relied on this mid-level fire vein to earn a lot of spirit stones for Lin Yutang and his team.

After Huang Siyuan advanced to the second-level alchemist, these people who made second-level pills basically chose to use the mid-level fire vein on Tuoyun Mountain.

As for the more rare high-level fire veins, there is only one on Guyang Mountain in the entire Wei State, and it is basically controlled by the high-level leaders of Xiaoyao Sect. It is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to use it.

Because Song Qingming is not a high-level alchemist or weapon refiner, although he has joined Xiaoyao Sect as a guest elder in recent years, he has never had the opportunity to use the high-level fire vein.

Although the high-level fire vein in front of him is very valuable, it is a pity that it cannot be taken away. Everyone looked at it with some reluctance, but they could only sigh with regret.

However, although this high-level fire vein cannot be taken away, the third-level refining furnace on it can still be taken down.

A third-level medium-grade refining furnace can be exchanged for almost 20,000 spirit stones, which is also a very good and precious spiritual object.

Song Qingming personally took action, stepped forward to erase the forbidden runes on the refining furnace, and then took down the third-level medium-grade refining furnace directly.

After putting away the refining furnace, several people left the location of the fire vein and began to search for spiritual objects around the fire vein.

After searching around, they found three third-grade lower-grade magic weapons that were not yet refined on a stone table nearby, and a record of the refining heritage of high-level refiners.

After seeing that there were no useful spiritual objects around, Song Qingming and his companions turned around and came to the other side of the stone chamber.

Compared to the refining place they had just searched, this place was the place where the owner of the cave meditated and practiced daily.

In the middle was a golden cushion emitting spiritual light, which was obviously not an ordinary item, and was quickly put into the storage magic weapon by He Mengxin.

Behind the cushion were two rows of very conspicuous stone shelves, one side of which was filled with various books and notes, and the other side was filled with bottles and jars for spiritual objects and elixirs.

However, compared to the neat appearance of other places in the cave, this area was much messier.

The jade bottles and porcelain jars on the stone shelves were basically opened, and they were all over the place. Many of them had fallen to the ground and broken into pieces. Even the things inside had deteriorated and turned into ashes.

On the ground next to one of the stone shelves, there was a spirit beast bag with a big hole bitten in it, and it was empty.

If nothing unexpected happened, the gray rat demon king that Song Qingming and his friends had encountered earlier should have run out of this bag.

Looking at the mess on the ground, everyone could guess that this was not intentional by the owner of the cave, but that the gray rat demon king ran out and made it like this.

Because too much time had passed, many of the bottles containing spirit objects on the shelf had basically been opened and swallowed or damaged by the gray rat demon king.

The four of them searched around the shelf and found four or five bottles of ordinary spirit objects that were still useful. The best of them was a bottle of level three spirit water, which could be of some use to Jindan cultivators.

On the other side, there were books and notes on the shelf. After everyone went forward to open them and took a look, they found that most of them were ordinary low-level techniques in the world of immortal cultivation, or books recording various strange stories, elixirs and spiritual objects.

There were no high-level techniques and secrets of the Jindan period or Yuanying period as they imagined. For Jindan cultivators like Song Qingming, these books and notes were not of much useful value.

After searching around, what surprised everyone was that the remains of the owner of the cave were not found here, nor were there any storage instruments.

It seems that the owner of this cave did not sit here, but left for some unknown reason and never returned.

Just when everyone was a little disappointed, Xia Mo, who was standing aside, glanced at the corner of the stone room and was suddenly attracted by it. She immediately walked over quickly.

When Song Qingming and his friends saw it, they hurriedly followed it, and soon everyone came to a small pool in the corner.

This pool was obviously built by humans, with a radius of only three or four feet. The spring water flowing inside was dark blue, not the transparent color commonly seen outside.

There was also a light blue lotus with two halves of leaves in the middle of the pool. It didn't look very eye-catching, and the spiritual energy contained in it was not particularly strong. It seemed to be just an ordinary low-level spiritual medicine.

"This is a crystal lotus, it looks like it has matured!"

Seeing this unprepossessing light blue lotus, He Mengxin on the side shouted with joy.

Seeing He Mengxin so excited after seeing this thing, Song Qingming's face was slightly surprised, and he hurriedly asked softly:

"I have heard of the name of crystal lotus before. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I also know that this thing is a fourth-level spiritual medicine. How can you confirm that the spiritual thing in the pool is the crystal lotus?"

Song Qingming has been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, and has read many books and notes describing various high-level spiritual medicines in the world of immortal cultivation, including records about high-level spiritual medicines such as crystal lotus.

This thing can be used to refine several high-level spiritual pills, but it is also very rare and difficult to cultivate to maturity. Even the spiritual medicine gardens of Yuanying major sects such as Xiaoyao Sect do not plant this kind of spiritual medicine. "

When the crystal lotus matures, it is a precious spiritual medicine that can reach the fourth level. No matter how you look at it, it is not consistent with the unprepossessing blue lotus in front of him.

Seeing that Song Qingming and Song Qingyu both put their curious eyes on him, He Mengxin explained:

"This thing is indeed a crystal lotus. The reason why I recognize it is that we have cultivated several similar spiritual medicines in the spiritual medicine garden of Baihua Palace, but they are not yet fully mature.

Once this crystal lotus matures, it can automatically hide its own aura. It is normal for you to misunderstand it. If I had not helped to cultivate and take care of this spiritual medicine several times in the spiritual medicine garden of the sect, it would be difficult to recognize it at a glance.

"Junior Sister Liu is right. This crystal lotus is already mature, but it was not eaten by the monster. This should be the reason."

As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, the spiritual light in her hand moved, and she used her own magic power to transform into a giant hand, and directly grabbed the "crystal lotus" in the pool, trying to pull it out of the pool directly.

As soon as the giant hand touched the "crystal lotus", a blue spiritual light immediately lit up on the petals that were originally unremarkable and a little too ordinary, emitting a very powerful spiritual energy.

"It is indeed a fourth-level spiritual medicine. I didn't expect that we would have this opportunity! "

After feeling the pressure of the breath emanating from the "Crystal Lotus" at this moment, Song Qingming, who saw the true face of this thing, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Not only Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and He Mengxin beside him were also very excited when they saw this scene.

If spiritual medicines above level three are considered to be things that can be encountered but not sought, then level four spiritual medicines are really high-level spiritual objects that most ordinary cultivators will never have the opportunity to see in their lifetime.

Level four spiritual medicines, even at the top auction near the Floating Cloud Mountains such as the Star Conference, Song Qingming has never seen this level of spiritual objects, which shows that the value of level four spiritual medicines can no longer be measured by spiritual stones.

Song Qingming estimated that if this "Crystal Lotus" was taken to a large auction house, it should be easily sold at a sky-high price of about 100,000 spiritual stones.

The last time he went to the "Tower of Babel", Song Qingming only brought out a few level three low-grade spiritual medicines from it. Only, not even a third-grade top-grade spiritual medicine has been seen, let alone spiritual medicines above the fourth level.

As the magic power in Xia Mo's hand surged, the blue light on the "Crystal Lotus" became brighter and brighter, and soon the entire stone cave was illuminated.

A moment later, the giant hand in front of Xia Mo pulled up the pearl spiritual medicine and directly took the "Crystal Lotus" into his hand. The blue light on the spiritual medicine just in his hand immediately went out quickly, leaving only a faint spiritual light.

Before Song Qingming and others came forward to observe this thing carefully, Xia Mo's spiritual light moved, and immediately a black wooden box appeared. He carefully put the precious spiritual medicine into it and put it away.

"Spiritual medicines above the fourth level can cause strange phenomena in the world when they mature. It seems that our previous judgment was wrong. The colorful rays of light that appeared nearby were not caused by the breakthrough of the monster, but by this crystal lotus.

When we were picking herbs just now, we had triggered the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, which might attract those low-level monsters. To prevent any changes, we should not stay here for long. We should hurry up to search for spiritual objects and leave quickly! "

After hearing Xia Mo's analysis, Song Qingming and others immediately felt that it made sense. They nodded and began to search the remaining corners of the cave to see if there were any spiritual objects that were missed.

After getting a fourth-level spiritual medicine like "Crystal Lotus", Song Qingming and others suddenly became excited, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Although the harvest of this trip was average, they did not find the relics of the Yuanying predecessors that everyone wanted most, but they were able to find several third-level spiritual objects, plus the "Crystal Lotus", an extremely precious fourth-level spiritual medicine. For Song Qingming and others, It was a worthwhile trip.

However, after finding this "crystal lotus", the cave below had been searched by everyone, and there was nothing useful in the remaining corners.

After searching nearby and finding nothing, He Mengxin returned to the pool and took out a small jade bottle. After taking a bottle of blue liquid from the pool, he took it to his nose and smelled it.

"It's really ice crystal jade liquid. No wonder it can cultivate a mature crystal lotus. It seems that this senior has spent a lot of thought on these two spiritual medicines."

He Mengxin smiled and muttered to himself, took out a dozen jade bottles, and began to take the blue liquid from the pool.

Seeing He Mengxin taking bottles to fill with spiritual water, Song Qingming, who also had nothing to gain, walked over with some curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist He, what exactly is this spiritual water, and what are its uses? "

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be interested in the spiritual water in the pool, He Mengxin quickly smiled and explained: "This thing is called Ice Crystal Jade Liquid. Although it is not a precious high-level spiritual water, it is also a rare spiritual water in the world.

This Ice Crystal Jade Liquid can be used to cultivate spiritual medicines, and can also be directly used to feed low-level spiritual beasts. The demon king was able to successfully cultivate to the Golden Core Realm before, probably because he swallowed a lot of Ice Crystal Jade Liquid.

There is still a lot of spiritual water in this pool now. If Fellow Daoist Song is interested, you can also take some back. Your Song family has also planted a lot of spiritual medicines, and there will always be opportunities to use them. "

Hearing what He Mengxin said, Song Qingming's face lit up, and he immediately took out several relatively large pottery jars from his body and began to collect the "Ice Crystal Jade Liquid" in the pool.

He Mengxin is a second-level upper-grade spiritual plant master. She wants these "Ice Crystal Jade Liquids" naturally for the purpose of cultivating spiritual medicines in the future.

Song Qingming didn't find anything good, and based on the principle of not wanting to waste, he wanted to take all the extra spiritual water back.

According to He Mengxin's introduction, regardless of whether these "Ice Crystal Jade Liquids" are valuable or not, at least they are quite useful. Feeding the Tianhuo Peng at home may help it advance to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible.

Xia Mo, who was standing aside, saw the actions of Song Qingming and the others, but didn't care about the spiritual water in the pool, and didn't urge Song Qingming and the others.

After turning around and not finding any spiritual objects, he walked alone to the middle of the sealed earth fire and carefully studied the formation restrictions on it.

Song Qingyu ran to the stone shelf again, still looking for the bottles and jars that had been searched by everyone.

"Hey! Why is there another magic weapon here!"

Song Qingyu, who was searching the stone shelf carefully, suddenly caught a flying sword stuck in a depression on the mountain wall behind the stone shelf.

The whole sword body of the flying sword had sunk into the stone wall, leaving only a small part of the hilt outside. Judging from the remaining aura on it, the grade was not high and it didn't look like a third-level magic weapon.

Because the color of the end of the hilt was the same as the mountain wall, and it was blocked by the stone shelf, it would be difficult to notice it if Song Qingyu hadn't searched here carefully.

After carefully moving the stone shelf away, Song Qingyu wrapped two fingers of his right hand with a layer of magic power, clamped them directly on the hilt, and tried hard to pull the flying sword out of the stone wall.

What was somewhat unexpected to her was that the flying sword seemed to be inserted a little too deep into the stone wall. It only moved slightly and was not pulled out directly by Song Qingyu.

Seeing that the flying sword was inserted so tightly, Song Qingyu also felt a little strange.

If it was a magic weapon that was difficult to drive with her cultivation, it would be fine. But it was just an ordinary magic weapon, even if it was a second-level top-grade magic weapon, Song Qingyu should be able to pull it out easily.

However, because of the temporary increase in mana from taking elixirs before, Song Qingyu was still a little weak at the moment, and did not use too much mana at the beginning.

Seeing that he could not pull it out, Song Qingyu was also a little depressed. He immediately increased the mana in his hand, clamped the hilt with all his strength and pulled it out.

After a while, there was only a sound of friction between the flying sword and the mountain wall. After Song Qingyu's efforts, the flying sword was finally taken out of the stone wall by her.

"What kind of material is this magical weapon made of? Why is it so heavy?"

Song Qingyu pulled out the flying sword and looked at it carefully with joy, then a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.

Judging from the aura, the flying sword in Song Qingyu's hand should also be a second-level magical weapon, but it seems to be unfinished, and even the blade has not been opened. It is just a semi-finished magical weapon.

"It's really strange. Why should such a semi-finished magical weapon be inserted here instead of being placed in the refining furnace to continue to be forged?"

Song Qingyu, who was holding the flying sword, thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out. She could only shake her head and wanted to put the flying sword away first.

Although this flying sword is a semi-finished product, the weight in her hand is obviously much heavier than other magical weapons. Even the second-level top-grade flying sword on her body is far less heavy. If it is refined, it should also be a second-level magical weapon.

Take it back to Song Yuanfang and others for research. Maybe it can be modified into a second-level magic weapon. Even if it is directly melted into materials, it can be worth a few spirit stones. There is no need to discard it directly.

Just when Song Qingyu cast a spell to control objects and wanted to put the flying sword in his hand into the storage bag on his waist, something unexpected happened to Song Qingyu.

The flying sword had just been wrapped by the magic power released by Song Qingyu, and suddenly a white light flew out of it and sank directly into Song Qingyu's eyebrows. (End of this chapter)
