Chapter 96: The Great Cavern
"Where is this?"
It was pitch black before my eyes, even darker than when I was deep in the Fierce Wind Forest. I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
“Squeak…”
Zhizhi was howling all the way, but fortunately he didn't run into other monks. Gradually, he stopped howling, but just looked a little listless.
I didn't know where I was taken by the wind blown by the spirit beast before its death. I only knew that it was getting darker and darker in front of my eyes until it was completely dark.
Xu Qiuqian took out the night light.
When he saw the scene around him, he was stunned.
There is a long corridor in front of me, with no end in sight.
There was no wind, no light, and even the air seemed a little thin.
She turned around and saw a wall.
"This wall is..."
[Do you want to spend points to identify this item? ]
Thinking about the 100 points he spent on the last formation, Xu Qiuqian shook his head.
Forget it, let's see if I can find the exit by moving forward. If I can't find it, I can use the random teleportation scroll that I didn't use up last time. Anyway, no matter which option I choose, it will cost less than identification!
"What if I get deducted 100 points again like last time?"
Do you really think her points were blown by the wind?
Xu Qiuqian walked forward holding Zhizhi in one hand and a night-light in the other.
The corridor was very long and Xu Qiuqian didn't know how long he had been walking, but he felt like he was still standing still.
Looking back, the wall was no longer there.
There are long corridors both in front and behind.
After thinking about it, I decided to continue moving forward. If I really couldn't get out, I could use the random teleportation scroll. Anyway, this corridor didn't seem to be dangerous at the moment.
But still make a mark.
She carved a mark on the passage with a dagger.
After walking forward for a distance, another mark is made, and the cycle continues.
So when she saw the marks she had made earlier, she knew that she had been going back and forth in this corridor.
This corridor should be set up with a formation.
After hesitating for a moment between tearing open the random teleportation scroll and breaking the formation, he chose the latter.
She didn't understand the formation, so she could only break it with brute force.
She thought of the formation-breaking needle she had seen in the Void Mall before. This formation was actually very simple, and brute force was the easiest way to break it.
But she didn't know what would happen after breaking the formation.
So just in case, it is more cost-effective to use the Breaking Formation Needle.
The second-grade Breaking Formation Needle only costs 50 points.
Xu Qiuqian bought the formation-breaking needle and randomly stabbed it into the wall.
A quarter of an hour later.
The endless corridor finally came to an end.
It was a cave with a narrow entrance.
Xu Qiuqian carried Zhizhi towards the cave. When they entered the cave, they saw a skeleton in the cave at a glance.
The cave was not very big and there were few things in it. There was a shelf on the left wall of the cave. A little further away from the shelf was a stone bed, and on the bed was a skeleton wearing brown clothes.
The clothes still look brand new, and they must be the robes that come with their own dust-free clothes.
Xu Qiuqian noticed that there was a storage bag next to the skeleton.
Go forward and pick up the storage bag.
When the owner of the storage bag dies, the spiritual consciousness engraved on it will naturally disappear as well.
Xu Qiuqian used his spiritual sense to open the storage bag.
When he saw what was in the storage bag, he was stunned.
Isn’t this the cave that Chen Guanye mentioned that might be the abode of a powerful being?
There were thirty-two high-quality spirit stones, six talismans, three bottles of elixirs, two jade slips, a token and some miscellaneous daily necessities in the storage bag.
He took out two jade slips and used his spiritual sense to investigate.
One is a martial art, the Cloud Chasing Spiritual Technique, which can be considered an intermediate martial art. Xu Qiuqian is not very interested in it.
The other one made her eyes light up slightly.
This jade slip records this person's name and life.
This man's name is Shi Weiping. He came to Youling City a thousand years ago because of the fire spirit from Mianyan Mountain, but in the end he did not get it and was seriously injured instead. So he came here to recuperate. Later, because there was more fire spirit energy in Youling City, he started to practice here.
However, when he was forming the elixir, his inner demon took advantage of the situation and invaded him, and he eventually died. Before his death, he left behind this jade slip.
He wanted to exchange the thirty-two high-quality spirit stones in the storage bag for the tokens, and asked the person who took the spirit stones to return the tokens in the storage bag to his home, which was on Huailuo Island in Xiyue Continent.
Huailuo Island? She remembered that the Jiexuxian that Xie Ziyi wanted to buy was unique to Huailuo Island.
I didn't expect that this person actually came from Xiyue Continent.
Chen Guanye once said that there was a restriction at the entrance of the cave. Now that I think about it, those few high-quality spirit stones should have been used to attract other cultivators here.
She took the high-grade spirit stone, token and the jade slip that recorded Shi Weiping's life. As for the talismans, pills and skills, she had no interest in them.
Thirty-two pieces of top-grade spirit stones mean a total of three hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones!
Thirty-two thousand points would be a waste if you don’t take them.
As for what Shi Weiping asked for, if there is a chance in the future, help him return the token.
At this moment, she heard a faint sound coming from outside the cave.
She had to leave immediately! No one else could see her here.
Xu Qiuqian took out the random teleportation scroll and tore it open.
The next moment, the scene changed.
"Huh? Where is this again?"
She seemed to be teleported into something, and the outside was still shaking. When she turned her sight, she saw a girl in crimson clothes sitting diagonally opposite her.
The girl's eyes widened, as if she was frightened by her sudden appearance.
Then she saw the girl open her mouth.
When the girl was about to scream, he quickly reached out and covered her mouth.
"Don't scream. I just teleported here accidentally. I'll leave soon."
Having said that, Xu Qiuqian was about to go down.
"Don't leave." The girl suddenly said, "There are guards outside. You will definitely be discovered if you go out."
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but frown.
What should I do? Should I buy another teleportation scroll? But designated teleportation is too expensive, and random teleportation would be bad if the destination I teleported to was some weird place.
At this time, the girl said again: "If you don't have anything urgent, you can stay in the sedan chair first, and leave when they go to bed at night."
That works too.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
"Squeak..." Zhizhi snuggled into her arms.
"Is this your pet?" The girl looked curious. "This is the first time I've seen a green-haired pet."
"right."
Xu Qiuqian covered Zhizhi with a towel to avoid the girl's sight.
Seeing this, the girl tactfully stopped looking at Zhizhi and smiled: "My name is Zhu Xin, what's your name?"
"Xu Qiuqian."
Knowing each other's names, we started talking.
Zhu Xin lives in a small town three hundred miles away from Youling City. The people in this town are all ordinary people. Her father is the mayor, and her family is considered to be moderately wealthy.
She has an older brother who has been very kind to her since she was a child.
Her brother was the only one with spiritual roots in the town, so her parents were thinking of sending her brother to a family or sect, but her brother said that he knew a family disciple in Youling City and was going to go to that person.
Five years ago, her brother left home, saying that he was going to Youling City to join that man and would come back in three years.
But it's been five years and there has been no reply.
My parents asked people to inquire, but they didn't get any information in two years.
She was anxious, so she sneaked out to find her brother.
"Then do you know which family your brother has joined? I can ask for you."
Zhu Xin's eyes lit up.
"Really? Thank you! My brother joined the Ying family."
