The Soil and the Spirit of the Earth



Xirang and the Spirit of the Earth

After determining the next goal (the route to trouble), Qin Ruqing and Tang Zifeng began to study the scroll.

Xiao Tang is indeed a professional. After studying the jade at both ends of the scroll, he said, "These two pieces of jade should be some kind of mark, which corresponds to something in the space array. As for whether you can open all the doors, it should be possible, because the principle of opening the space array is the same, and the Immortal Product Bureau should not have so much time to set up a special mark for every place."

Qin Ruqing nodded, "It makes sense... but can you explain it in a more simple way?"

Tang Zifeng: "... That is to say, the difference is the material outside the scroll, and it is actually the things inside the jade that can produce the effect. As long as you take out the things inside the jade, you should be able to open all the doors. That is what you said, the master key."

"Take out the things inside. It sounds a bit metaphysical." Qin Ruqing took the scroll again. "Is there anything else in this jade? How to take it out?"

Tang Zifeng looked at her and smiled for some reason. "Others may not be able to take it out, but you should be able to. Your fire."

Qin Ruqing patted her head, "Oh, you said to refine it with my fire."

After getting Tang Zifeng's affirmation, she immediately knocked the jade on the scroll against the stones on the roadside, as if she had no regrets about damaging the scroll. After a while, the jade inlaid on both ends was knocked off. Qin Ruqing took it in her hand, shook it twice, and then began to summon the golden lotus fire to wrap them.

Lu Wei and Qi Rong also came over, wanting to see what she could refine.

Qin Ruqing burned the golden lotus that combined the heavenly fire and the natural flame for a long time, but it did not cause much damage to the jade. At most, the surface of the jade turned a little black. Qin Ruqing showed a rare expression. It was indeed something.

Then he began to increase the firepower. The petals of the golden lotus trembled slowly, expanded a little illusoryly, and finally opened illusoryly. From a slightly closed golden lotus to a fully bloomed golden lotus.

The increase in firepower began to affect the temperature around it. Qirong and Lu Wei both showed uncomfortable expressions. Tang Zifeng was better, but he stared at the flame with a serious look. Qin

Ruqing's flame was extraordinary after all. Under such a high temperature, the two pieces of jade finally began to melt slowly.

Qin Ruqing was delighted to see this, as long as it could be melted. She asked: "How much should it be refined?"

Tang Zifeng asked her to burn it first. Qin Ruqing said "Oh" and just kept burning it.

Until the jade block was burned into two drops of emerald green jade liquid, and then the jade liquid condensed, and finally burned into a powder.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's done."

Qin Ruqing gathered the golden lotus into her palm again, and when the flame disappeared, a small handful of shiny jade powder appeared in her palm. Obviously, jade is green, but when it was burned into powder, it only felt a little shimmering, and the color could not be seen.

Qin Ruqing stared at the small handful of sparkling for a while, and felt that it was quite suitable for making sequins for eye shadow.

"What is this?"

Tang Zifeng came over and studied it carefully for a while, then said, "This is a powder made from space stone. It can be used as a positioning mark. Generally speaking, some large-scale transmission arrays need to use this at both ends. In addition..." He paused for a moment, remembering what Qin Ruqing had said before, "Put it in a simple and easy-to-understand way." He then changed his words and said, "In short, it is useful. When I refine it with the space crystal, I can make a simple key to open the space barrier, which is what you call the key. ..."

Qin Ruqing's eyes were full of stars. Tang Zifeng was dazzled by her eyes, and the voice behind her also lowered unconsciously, "...that is what you said, the master-key."

Qin Ruqing raised her thumb, "Good, good, very good, Xiao Tang, you are simply Doraemon."

She patted Tang Zifeng's shoulder heavily, and then began to move to make room for the roundest stone where she was sitting, and tapped it with her little hands, "Come on, Master Tang, you take a seat!"

Who can meet Qin Ruqing's wishes? That little mouth is so sweet. Not to mention that Tang Zifeng was coaxed by her to the point of losing his way, but he also sat down obediently and was happy to forge the key for her - he had just driven the spaceship for two hours and wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

Qin Ruqing was preparing the things she would need for the next treasure hunt, and she didn't waste any time, while Lin Yijun hurried back to the vicinity of the canyon.

She found a secluded place to heal her wounds, making it look like the noble family team had "a hard time" finding her.

"Fairy Yijun, I finally found you!"

Lin Yijun leaned weakly from the tribesman behind her, her lips were bloodless, but her expression was very anxious, "How is the situation outside? Did you successfully capture the Thunder Cloud Beast?"

The man described the wolf, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Don't mention it, I thought I was lucky today. After you, Fairy Yijun, were injured by the Thunder Cloud Beast, the Thunder Cloud Beast was ready to leave, but guess what, it turned back halfway and rushed straight towards the formation."

Lin Yijun said, her eyes flashed. The Thunder Cloud Beast turned back. It goes without saying who was behind this.

It turns out that she started to keep an eye on the overall situation so early.

The man continued, "We thought that with the blessing of God, we might succeed today. Everything went smoothly in the beginning. We successfully captured the Thunder Cloud Beast, detonated the spiritual weapon to injure it, and smashed the rubble from the surrounding canyon to bury it. We were just waiting to wear it out and completely trap it inside to get the Mysterious Heart Liquid. But somehow it got stimulated and suddenly went crazy. Even if all of us infused the spiritual energy of the Futian Jiangyao Array to the maximum, it didn't work."

"After a few breaths, it broke free."

Lin Yijun asked with concern: "Are you guys injured?"

The man shook his head: "No, that thundercloud beast was strange. After breaking free, it didn't even look at us, and just ran in one direction. We sent someone to follow it from a distance, and found that it actually had a child! The little thundercloud beast was seriously injured by someone, and the big thundercloud beast was simply crazy. It roared for three hours and ordered its brothers to clear the surrounding dense forest. After searching everywhere, the murderer was not found. "

Lin Yijun pondered for a while, frowned and said: "The big thundercloud beast is already in the golden elixir stage. Logically, the mysterious heart liquid is useless to it. So, this mysterious heart liquid is for its children, which makes sense. Now that the little thundercloud beast is injured, it is very likely that the mysterious heart liquid has been stolen..."

Lin Yijun covered his mouth and said angrily: "Who did it and got it before us!"

The man did not say anything, but looked at Lin Yijun meaningfully. Lin Yijun's face immediately became embarrassed, and he even coughed twice because of weakness and shortness of breath.

"Are you doubting me! If it was me, why would I go through so much trouble? Why didn't I cover up the news and go to the little thundercloud beast to quietly take the mysterious heart liquid!"

"In this plan, I came up with the diagram of the Futian Jiangyao Formation. If the materials were not from the Qin family, I would have also contributed most of them. I was also tasked with luring the Thunder Cloud Beast. That's a Jindan stage monster, and I'm just a Qi cultivator. Even if I have a lot of treasures on me, I may die accidentally due to the huge gap in strength. Aren't the serious injuries on my body now ironclad evidence?"

"Could it be that I deliberately got struck by the Thunder Cloud Beast in order to gain your trust? Is that something I could do on stage?"

The group of Lin family members also began to chatter and defend their young lady.

"Don't be so ridiculous. We in the Lin family have been busy with this matter and we think we have done everything we should do. Now that the mission has failed, we are being blamed by you. It's really hateful!"

The man thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed so. Without saying anything else, just one thing, pretending to be injured under the nose of the Jindan stage Thunder Cloud Beast is not a joke. If you are not careful, you may die!

Although he had already believed Lin Yijun's words, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I trust Fairy Yijun's character, but there are so many noble families participating this time, and Fairy Yijun is not here, so she has to prove herself. How about I detect Fairy Yijun's injuries? I am also trying to stop the noble families from talking nonsense!" The

Lin family members behind him were really annoyed. Detecting injuries, what's the difference between this and insulting. As a result, Lin Yijun raised his hand to stop their quarrel and stretched out his hand directly, "Brother Qian, just take my pulse directly."

Brother Qian did not refuse, after all, he came for this purpose. He carefully put his hands on Lin Yijun's pulse and took his pulse carefully.

He found that Lin Yijun's breath was very suspended. Not only did he suffer severe internal injuries, but there was also a strong burning energy in his body.

After a while, he took his hand back, and his expression was indeed much more relaxed. "Fairy Yijun is really seriously injured. Moreover, how can there be so much burning energy in the body? This is not in Xiling. I checked and it seems to be different from the fire poison. Fairy Yijun, please be careful. If this energy stays in the body for a long time, it will be bad for cultivation."

Lin Yijun coughed twice again, and almost couldn't help showing a mocking smile.

This injury was of course caused by Qin Ruqing. Her terrifying golden flame, I don't know what kind of fire it is, although it absorbs heat, but after tying them up all the way, it has accumulated burning energy in their bodies that is no less than fire poison.

Then take the elixir that had been prepared long ago to simulate injuries. Now, even her own mother couldn't tell that she was faking injury.

After the inspection, this Brother Qian started chatting with Lin Yijun, wondering who took the Xuanxin Liquid from the little thundercloud beast.

Those aristocratic families were naturally the focus of suspicion.

Brother Qian seemed to have thought of something and hissed, "Speaking of which, the Qin family in Nanling handed over so many spiritual weapons, but the subsequent plans never seemed to show up. What's the matter? Did they hand over the spiritual weapons for charity? I think they are very suspicious!"

Lin Yijun's hands suddenly clenched and quickly loosened.

Before letting go, she hoped that these people would suspect the Qin family, which would just clear her of suspicion. However, with Qin Ruqing's previous casual words, "I'll kill you every time I see you",

Lin Yijun didn't think it was a lie. If such a rumor really spread in the small floating space, Elder Qin might think that it was the news she spread, and then really come to kill her...

Lin Yijun immediately shook his head and took the initiative to explain: "It shouldn't be, I have also seen those people from the Qin family, except Tang Zifeng, their average strength is not strong. As for Tang Zifeng, he is a member of the Tang family, but he doesn't follow his own team, but instead follows the Qin family, ignoring both sides. With this team configuration, can it kill a small thunder cloud beast with at least foundation building cultivation?"

Brother Qian thought about it and felt that it was right, but, "Why did they have to hand in so many spiritual weapons?" In total, the three people from the Qin family paid almost two hundred.

As a result, Lin Yijun actually laughed, "Why else? Because they have money. The Qin family went to Xiling this time and earned so many spirit stones. The wool comes from the sheep, so of course they don't feel sorry."

Brother Qian sucked his teeth hard, it was sour. The Qin family is really rich, and the money is all taken from the people of Xiling. They have to take it, who doesn't want the Qin family's things.

With a sigh, he stood up, understood the situation that he should understand, and left with a successful exit.

After he left, Lin Yijun snorted heavily at the air for some reason. I don't know if he was snorting at the aristocratic families who were testing her defense, or at Qin Ruqing.

The person behind her said, "Miss, why are you still covering up for the Qin family?"

Lin Yijun was annoyed: "What can we do if we don't cover it up? The time in the small floating space is not over yet. Are we just going to leave like this? As long as we do something bad to her Qin family in the small floating space, with her strength, she can kill us easily."

"Then...what about the Xuanxin Liquid? Do we have to give it up?"

Lin Yijun stared at a place and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Of course we can't snatch it now. Once we get out of the small floating space..."

"To be honest, I'm just curious, isn't that Elder Qin afraid that my Lin family will come to snatch her Xuanxin Liquid? Even if she is very powerful, my Lin family has the advantage of the terrain and so many people. If they really set an ambush to catch her, what can she do?"

No one behind said anything. In short, it is not a trivial matter to attack that Elder Qin. Not to mention her own strength, the Qin family behind her and the Xianpin Bureau she cooperated with were all big troubles.

Whether to take action or not, she still had to go back to the tribe to discuss and then make a decision.

*

Qin Ruqing didn't know that the lamb she took the initiative to release had started to have bad ideas in the blink of an eye. Or, she had already thought of it and didn't care.

At this time, she was holding something like a Han Dynasty jade disk in her hand. This was the universal key that Xiao Tang had refined.

"Finally done! With this, we can start treasure hunting!"

Qirong had been searching for treasures with her for a long time, and he couldn't help it. He came over and said excitedly: "Sister, which direction should we start from!"

Qin Ruqing closed her eyes and sensed for a while, but in fact she was looking at her treasure hunting explorer. After checking the direction and confirming a few points, she opened her eyes and pointed in a direction.

"Go this way."

So the little ugly flying boat started, and the four of them set off again.

On the way, Lu Wei talked about recent events, "The previous plan of the mysterious liquid has spread completely. Now almost all the noble families know that the mysterious liquid has appeared in the small floating space, and it was taken away by an unknown team."

Qin Ruqing was free and drew circles in the air with fire, watching it change into various shapes, "Why, Lin Yijun didn't call us out?"

Lu Wei shook her head, "Really not, although some people also mentioned our Qin family, but it's just normal suspicion, and there are more than one suspicious object. If that's all, we are still safe."

Qin Ruqing curled his lips, "Don't worry, we will always be safe."

The main thing is to see if the head of the Lin family is stupid after going out.

The direction Qin Ruqing pointed to was in the northwest. They had returned to the direction of the underground fire pool to a certain extent, but one was in the far north and the other was in the northwest.

Qin Ruqing held the jade key in his hand and kept changing the direction to check. After a while, he said loudly: "Tang Zifeng, is your key effective? Doesn't it say that it will light up when it encounters an abnormal fold in the space? Why is there no movement now!"

Tang Zifeng: "No movement means it's normal."

Lu Wei looked around and said: "If the Immortal Product Bureau really hides the rare and important places with space formations, then this method It's really too much."

Qin Ruqing stared at the jade disc and said casually: "Arrogant. But they do have the capital to be arrogant, we have to admit that. Just don't be brainwashed by their power and think that everything they do is right. Look at them with a critical eye, so that you can maintain awe while not losing your determination to overthrow the Xianpin family!"

Seeing Qirong's face full of approval, and seeing that a stable person like Lu Wei showed a tacit expression, Tang Zifeng was helpless.

Can the Xianpin family be overthrown just by saying it? When can she change her bad habit of talking nonsense?

Before he could speak, a voice came out from under the fluffy head, "Tang Zifeng, don't think I don't know that you are complaining about me in your heart. You can't hide your eyes anymore! Now that we are alone, I can say whatever I want!"

He raised his head and shook it as if to protest.

Tang Zifeng's lips moved, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the jade disk in Qin Ruqing's hand lit up. He pointed and said lightly: "It lit up."

"Ouch." Qin Ruqing stood still in that position, lifted the jade disk and probed the specific location, then nodded: "It's here."

He cast a spell to sacrifice the jade disk, made a gesture, and injected spiritual energy into the jade disk. Sure enough, the jade disk glowed with golden light and actually attached to a certain position on its own. It was like hanging on the wall. After a while, the invisible wall moved, slowly opening up like water waves.

Qin Ruqing put away the jade disk and blew on her fingers, "To be honest, every time I make a hole in the area circled by the Immortal Product Family, I feel happy."

She looked at the gap and waved to the people behind her, "Go ahead!" Then she walked in first.

When the four of them stood still and lined up, they could not help but exclaimed.

The area enclosed here turned out to be a huge medicinal field!

Qi Rong sniffed, "What a strong medicinal fragrance, stronger than the mountain behind our house, no, stronger than the medicinal mountain specially built in the complex secret realm!"

Lu Wei walked forward a few steps in a daze, walked to a medicinal field, and widened her eyes, "This, this field is planted with all the formless flowers, which are hard to find in the outside world, and there is a whole field of them here!"

Walking to another medicinal field, "A root of green leaves with blue saw teeth, this is the ghost leaf; this is the flying frost bamboo..." Lu Wei was like a little mouse that fell into a rice jar, and didn't know where to look.

Qin Ruqing looked at this grand scene with a wonderful look on his face, and couldn't say anything except a mocking sound.

"The Xianpin Bureau is really a bullfrog! I can't think of any other word except 'bull'."

Even Tang Zifeng, a paralyzed little man who only cares about refining instruments, was really shocked by this scene and couldn't speak.

As a local of Xiling, he never knew that there were so many good things in Xiaofukong. Xiaofukong

is already a secret place with extremely rich natural materials and treasures, and their Xiling families have benefited a lot from Xiaofukong. They are all very satisfied. But they never thought that maybe the output of Xiaofukong is more than they thought...

Their satisfaction, in this situation, seems very ridiculous.

While Tang Zifeng was stunned, Qin Ruqing reached out and patted his arm, "Just turn your anger into motivation to take advantage of me~"

When Tang Zifeng raised his eyes, Qin Ruqing had already put her hands behind her back and walked briskly forward to find her third sister.

When she walked to her third sister, she was surrounding a flower, and the surprise on her face was beyond words.

Qin Ruqing walked over and took a look. The flower was blue, and its shape was a bit like a blue Rafflesia. A scan of it with his spiritual consciousness revealed a strong icy aura.

"What is this!"

Lu Wei held Qin Ruqing's hand tightly, "This is the Qingshuang Spirit Flower. Originally, I was worried that my physique could not withstand the burning of the earth fire. With this Qingshuang Flower, I can blend it into a meridian-protecting pill, and I will be sure that I can refine the heart of the earth fire."

"Sure, Third Sister, you found the right medicine right away." Qin Ruqing knew that Third Sister was happy and that she liked to introduce knowledge about elixirs to others, so she deliberately led her to say, "What about that one, what's it called, oh, Wuxiang Flower, what's it used for?"

Lu Wei tucked a strand of hair that was hanging down to her ear and whispered, "Wuxiang Flower is a spiritual plant that is essential for refining realm-breaking elixirs. With so many Wuxiang Flowers and the elixir formula, our Qin family can try to refine realm-breaking elixirs in the future." Realm-breaking

elixirs.

Qin Ruqing listened and immediately started to calculate. If Qi-recovering Pills and Detoxification Pills are basic elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation, then this realm-breaking elixir is a high-end elixir.

What is the most important thing in the world of immortal cultivation? Of course, cultivation!

Seeing that her third sister was already thinking about collecting spiritual plants, Qin Ruqing held her down first and said, "Don't worry, third sister. I see that even precious spiritual plants like the Wuxiang Flower are only found on the periphery. Maybe there are even more precious things inside? Let's take a look inside!"

As a result, just as she finished speaking, she heard Qirong's voice coming from deep inside, "Third sister, younger sister, Brother Tang, come and look, there is soil here, it moves!"

Qin Ruqing and Lu Wei looked at each other and quickly flew towards Qirong.

Qirong squatted in a small field, pointed at a ball of mud and said, "Sisters, look at this soil, it moves."

But when Qin Ruqing and the others looked over, they only saw a small earth slope, "No, why can't we see it moving?"

Qirong said, "Don't worry, it's a little stupid, it will move after a while."

The four of them squatted around the small field, waiting quietly. Sure enough, not long after, the small earth slope actually moved, and it looked like a person who had been lying down for too long and wanted to stretch his back.

"What is this?"

Qin Ruqing touched her chin, "Is it an earth spirit or something?"

Tang Zifeng, who knew more than these three little bumpkins, guessed, "It is recorded in ancient books that the essence of the soil is formed into Xiran, and the essence of Xiran is also called the spirit of the earth, or the spirit of Xiran."

"This should be the spirit of the earth."

"It likes to gnaw on the land and minerals, and likes to stay in places like spiritual fields and medicinal fields. With it, the spirituality of the soil can be gradually improved. If the right method is found to feed it, the land can even be upgraded to Xiran in the end."

He pointed to the place where it stayed under him. Different from other lands, this place was dark black. "I think this small field is full of Xiran."

The three small mounds of earth could hear their hearts beating. Their Qin family was a family of elixirs. If they could get the spirit of the earth and gnaw their land into Xiran, then...

Qin Ruqing didn't say anything and stretched out his hand to pick up the small mound of earth. The strange thing was that it looked hard, but when it touched his hand, it slid down like quicksand and he couldn't hold it.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Qin Ruqing puffing his lips in anger, Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "It doesn't want to go with you. The spirits of the earth are all very comfortable. The land beneath it has become fertile soil. It is the environment it likes, and it doesn't want to move."

"Hey!" Qin Ruqing was unhappy and stared at it seriously: "As a piece of soil, how can you be so salty! Get up and follow me!"

Of course the spirit of the earth didn't want to do it. As if to mock Qin Ruqing, it moved lazily, and then lay down completely.

Lu Wei and the others laughed. Qin Ruqing gritted his teeth. He had never been treated so badly by a piece of soil in his life. He was about to roll up his sleeves to grab it by force, but stopped again. With a turn

of his eyes, this kind of spiritual creature can only be tempted by benefits, not forced.

As he spoke, he touched his body, and a light bulb lit up on his head. He bit his fingertips, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it directly onto the small mound.

Lu Wei and the others also looked at Qin Ruqing's movements curiously. They all knew that Xiaowu's blood had magical powers, but could it attract the spirit of the earth?

Facts have proved that it can. Qin Ruqing's blood still smells good, even to a piece of soil, it smells good.

The small mound trembled for a moment, quickly absorbed the blood, and then it stuck its head out. Yes, it has a head, not only that, it also has small hands and feet.

The small hands and feet slowly crawled towards Qin Ruqing, touched her fingers, which still had the residual scent of blood, and waved their small hands.

Qin Ruqing smiled and deliberately waved her fingers above the small soil slope. After letting the small soil slope smell enough, she took her hand back.

"Do you want more?"

The soil slope couldn't speak, but still waved its arms.

"Humph, I know you five elements spirits can understand human language. As long as you come with me, this kind of blood can feed you every day in the future. This is much better than eating earthen food. Do you want it?"

The soil slope stopped waving, and after a while, it actually crawled to Qin Ruqing and hugged her feet.

Hey, good, it's a foodie. Foodies are great!

Qin Ruqing fed it another drop of blood, and the soil slope was completely relieved.

Qin Ruqing tentatively picked it up and found that it didn't flow down like sand. It agreed.

Qin Ruqing carefully put away the Spirit of the Earth, muttering to himself: "Okay, okay, now the character of the Mobile Blood Bag is established. Everything wants my blood!"

After getting such a good thing, Qin Ruqing felt that this little floating trip was a complete success.

After looking around, they decided to start sealing the spiritual plants.

It was finally time to start, and before starting, Lu Wei asked a very critical question.

"Xiao Wu, the things in this garden...how much should we take?

It can be seen that this is a high-level medicinal garden that the Immortal Product Bureau has enclosed and cultivated. If we take everything away, will it cause trouble for the Immortal Product Bureau?

Qin Ruqing was silent for a while, and suddenly yelled, as if he was talking to Lu Wei and the others, but also as if he was talking to himself:

"I have to be timid when I enter a secret realm to take things? No! I want to tell myself that I must not let myself be bound by those unfounded, useless, and burdensome moral senses. I have already thought about the consequences and can bear them, so why not take them! I will take them all!"

Qin Ruqing rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, even if I kindly leave half for the Xianpin Bureau, will they be grateful to me and be considerate of me? Even if we just move a blade of grass here, they will probably think it is an offense. What do we care about then! He

uttered a word in a firm voice: "Take it!"
