The two of them swallowed several beast-repelling pills and finally arrived outside a huge palace after three hours.
The palace door had been opened, revealing a bright yellow light, and Su Qingyan revealed a trace of joy that was difficult to suppress.
"Senior Ling, let's go."
Ling Tian nodded and followed. Looking at the two lifelike phoenix statues above, he felt very strange, especially the lively eyes, which seemed as if they were alive.
Walking into the palace gate, it was bright as day inside. There was a huge square in the center, and in the center stood an extremely handsome fiery red Qilin, with an ice-blue water lion pressed into the ground under its claws. In addition, there were many various rare monsters carved around it, but there was no sign of a dragon, which made Ling Tian very confused.
"As the king of all beasts, there shouldn't be a dragon, right?"
"Senior Ling, don't be surprised. The reason there are no dragon statues here is because the powerful being who created this demon world hated the dragon clan. According to legend, the dragon clan wiped out his entire family, so he wanted revenge by subduing all kinds of rare and exotic beasts in the world, hoping to create the world's most powerful demon beast to retaliate."
"hehe."
Ling Tian just smiled. It was just a legend. Even if it was true, he didn't believe that he could create a being that surpassed the dragon. The only monster in the world that could be stronger than the dragon was probably the legendary Kunpeng.
"Senior Ling, this way."
Su Qingyan should be very familiar with this demon world. She took Ling Tian and did not go through the twenty-four gates, but walked to the side of a passage on the east side. After a while of groping, a side door that was one person wide appeared in front of them.
As soon as they entered, the stone door automatically closed without a trace. Su Qingyan took out two firefly beads and gave one to Ling Tian, saying, "Senior, follow my steps closely. This secret passage is full of mysteries. One wrong step will trap you in an illusion, and it will be difficult to get out."
Ling Tian naturally wouldn't try to be brave, but facing an unknown environment, he wouldn't put his life in the hands of others. The hallucinogenic butterfly secretly hid on his back to prevent mutation.
The secret passage twists and turns as it goes up. During the journey, they encountered many powerful monsters. Fortunately, with Ling Tian's hallucinogenic butterfly, the two of them passed through safely. Ling Tian also obtained a piece of the root of the spicy thorn vine, which is the medicine for refining Kaiyang Pill. It is very important and the price is naturally not low. A piece of spicy thorn vine can be sold for thousands of spirit stones.
Ling Tian was still thinking of getting a whole one, but this piece of root extended from somewhere through the crack in the wall. It would be so difficult to find the original plant, so forget it. Having this piece of root was also good. It would only take a thousand years to reproduce a mature body. The flow rate was ten times that of space. After a hundred years, the spirit stones would come to him in droves.
After nearly an hour, the view suddenly opened up. At the end of the secret passage was a cave. It was not big, about five meters wide and ten meters high. There were simple items such as beds and tables on the southeast side. On the west side was a wooden shelf full of bottles and jars, which seemed to be a place for storing elixirs. The wooden shelf on the north side contained some refining materials.
Ling Tian walked over and couldn't take his eyes off the refining materials.
"This is the Deep Sea Silver Mother. It's such a big piece that even hundreds of millions of spirit stones might not be enough to get it."
"This...is this Gengjin?"
Looking at the three fist-sized pieces of metal emitting golden light, Ling Tian was extremely shocked. This was not one of the top materials for refining magic weapons. As long as a little bit was added, the power of the magic weapon would be doubled. These three pieces could be used to refine a pure Gengjin magic weapon, which was no less powerful than Xuantian's treasure.
"Senior Ling, don't touch those. They are just illusions. The real thing is here."
"Illusion?"
Su Qingyan picked up two very ordinary talismans on the table, and the surrounding scene changed. There were no precious refining materials there, only ordinary stones. This made Ling Tian frightened. The illusion was too powerful. His soul power had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but it was not visible at all?
"How do you know this?"
"Sorry, this is my secret. I'm giving you this Wanli Talisman. After using it, you can randomly appear thousands of miles away. However, you can only use it three times, after which it will dissipate."
Ling Tian accepted it with great pleasure. This talisman was more suitable for him. It was simply an escape tool. Wanli, this could only be achieved by the consciousness of the fusion stage. It was equivalent to giving himself three more lives. It was more precious than the refining materials in the illusion just now.
In addition to the two talismans, Su Qingyan also took a futon on the bed, which must be extremely precious. Ling Tian did not say anything about this. After all, she brought it here, and she had already given such a precious talisman, which was very good.
"Okay, let's keep going."
Su Qingyan walked to the place where the wooden shelves were placed, cast a strange seal, and another passage appeared. She followed it in, but this time it was not very long. She reached the end after only half a quarter of an hour.
It was also a cave, but this one was much bigger than the previous one. However, the furnishings inside were similar. This time, Ling Tian was not confused by the shocking materials and spiritual medicines in front of him, and seemed very generous.
"Senior, this is the real thing, don't you want it?"
"Huh? Really?"
Ling Tian couldn't believe it. Was everything here real?
"It's absolutely true. I'm not lying to you. But you can only take three. Please take whatever you like."
Ling Tian was excited at first, but then he calmed down. He did have the intention to collect them all impulsively, but thinking deeper, there might be some mystery in it, or there might be great danger. A greedy person might end up in a miserable situation?
He thought that Su Qingyan would not harm him, at least not when she got what she wanted.
After figuring it out, Ling Tian quickly went through it and finally chose a dragon blood fruit, a dragon-killing vine and a spirit-transforming pill.
Ling Tian's choice made Su Qingyan a little puzzled. Although these three things could be considered precious, they were not the most precious things here. With his vision, he should be able to see that.
Knowing that Su Qingyan would have such an expression, Ling Tian did not explain. Sometimes the most precious thing may not be the best.
It is true that top-level materials are precious and rare, but there is only one piece, and the value is fixed and will not change. However, the potential value of a spiritual fruit is far greater. Dragon blood fruit is the main ingredient for refining dragon blood pills that prolong life. With this fruit, you can reproduce a plant in space, and then you can have as many as you want. That's all money. With money, there is no material you can't buy. If you can't buy it, it's because you don't have enough money.
As for the Dragon-Slaying Vine, Ling Tian felt that Su Qingyan might not know the true purpose of this thing. Even the powerful person who created the demon world and wanted to overthrow the dragon clan probably didn't know it, otherwise this thing would not be placed here.
