Chapter 113
Compared to the common demonic cracks, demonic relics are extremely rare and more precious.
The number of demonic cracks of varying sizes that appear in the spiritual world in a year is likely to number in the hundreds, if not thousands. However, it is rare for a demonic relic to appear once every one or two years, and once it does appear, it is bound to be large-scale.
This thing was formed when a deeply buried spiritual mine encountered a large amount of brewing demonic energy, which collided and fused with each other underground, producing a large number of rare and secret treasures. Because of the characteristics of the ore vein, the range inside is very large, like a maze, and the closer to the center, the more treasures there are.
This means that no matter how high or low your spiritual power is, everyone can go in and give it a try. If you can't go deep into the cave, you can still do some hunting on the outskirts, and maybe you'll encounter something fortuitous.
But when it comes to "adventures", apart from the superficial formation principle, there are still many things about the Demonic Ruins that cannot be explained.
In addition to the common things such as large amounts of hidden precious minerals and crazy spiritual plants and beasts driven by demonic energy, there are other more important fun things, which are the focus that attracts many spiritual masters.
As for other spiritual masters who were killed and annihilated in the demonic energy rifts, no matter where or when they died, the treasures left on their bodies and the spiritual storage instruments should be impossible to find, and even their bodies are gone.
But those things may appear in the ruins of spirits and demons, as if they were absorbed and digested by the rules of heaven and earth and then spit out. This is why this place is called "ruins".
Those who go in to explore can see the residual souls of those dead spiritual masters guarding their treasures. They seem to be copied by the rules of heaven and earth, and their abilities are even stronger than before. In addition to spiritual power, they are also mixed with a special demonic energy that cannot be touched easily.
And these residual souls are not completely unconscious. If possible, adventurers who enter the ruins can even awaken the remaining consciousness in the souls of their ancestors, learn some unknown mysteries, obtain secret treasures from the other party, or obtain the inheritance of their ancestors.
This is much more precious than some heavenly grade elixirs and spiritual weapons.
The collision between the spiritual and demonic energies made the external manifestation of the spiritual and demonic ruins not as explosive as the demonic energy cracks, but rather relatively calm.
Generally speaking, an ordinary demonic crack will appear on the ground first. After the demonic crack is resolved and cleaned up, the entrance to the ruins can be seen.
The entrance looks ordinary and narrow, only wide enough for a few people to pass through, but once you enter, it is extremely dangerous.
The spiritual world has always been like this, with risks and benefits coexisting.
Naturally, this relic also appeared in the previous life, but in Yin Jiuxiao's memory it was a little later, about two months later.
The news from Beizhou was not communicated with the outside world, so it did not attract more people. But just the people from Beizhou coming to fight for it was already enough to cause trouble.
The one that appeared near the City of Tears this time was not particularly large in scale. Compared with the previous ruins, it was quite ordinary. However, for the resource-poor Northern State, they had not seen an opportunity of this magnitude in eleven years. Naturally, they attached great importance to it and fought to the point of killing each other.
However, Yin Jiuxiao did not participate in this trip to the Demonic Ruins, and he only heard about a lot of news later.
The Demonic Ruins are not like the Demonic Fissures which need to be completely resolved before they disappear. They usually exist for two to three months and may be closed at any time. The extremely hungry looting in Beizhou was unprecedented. No one knew what was touched, but the ruins were closed after only one month of opening, leaving a mess behind.
At that time, Yin Hengxie wanted to seek an opportunity for the Yin family, so he risked his life and took many people to try it out.
His old injuries had not healed at that time, and he also had new wounds caused by Lin Zhongtian. Fate did not favor the Yin family, and basically all the people he brought with him were killed.
Without this backbone, Tear City saw a large number of blood-thirsty people flocking to the vicinity of Tear City. The Yin Family Ancestral Hall and the most important mountain-sealing formation were destroyed by the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth brought about by Lin Zhongtian, and the remaining people were unable to resist these people.
Some died and some fled, and it didn't take long before the city was looted.
Not long after Yin Jiuxiao climbed out from the bottom of the cliff, he heard the news of Yin Hengxie's death and the destruction of the Yin family. Yin Jiuxiao was one step too late and could do nothing to save the situation.
By the time he was able to return to the City of Tears, it had become a dead city that could not be saved and no one was left.
Although many people in the Yin family did not treat him well, some people and past events in this family have always been the last warmth in Yin Jiuxiao's heart. The good days in the City of Tears before the age of seven were burst like bubbles.
So his family was truly broken up at that time, so he became cold-hearted and reckless, with only revenge in his mind.
However, after being reborn, things were very different. All the painful experiences were reversed by Lin Qinghen and him personally. The Yin family was not the Yin family of his previous life, and the City of Tears was not the City of Tears in his memory.
Yin Jiuxiao was now hugging his sweet, soft and smart wife. Seeing Lin Qinghen tilting her head slightly and looking at him, he asked, "Didn't you say that the magic crack that hides the entrance looks very ordinary and there is no trick to distinguish it? The people of the Wolf Clan didn't see it, and Jiuxiao didn't go to see it himself. How did you know?"
Yin Jiuxiao was stunned, coughed lightly, and subconsciously began to cover up: "My spiritual power is sharp, and my perception of demonic energy is even stronger. I have been feeling some unusual movements in that direction today. When the wolf people came to report it, I made the connection."
Things like this that involve spiritual power, and they are spiritual and demon relics that he would never set foot in. Lin Qinghen's knowledge is limited to the records in a few books. He believed what Yin Jiuxiao said, nodded, said "Oh", and did not delve into it further, but still looked at Yin Jiuxiao a few more times.
There is another more important question that Lin Qinghen did not ask.
——It makes sense that Yin Jiuxiao felt the subtle fluctuation of power, but how did he know it was “in advance”?
Yin Jiuxiao didn't think much when he said these two words in front of him. He had no guard in front of Lin Qinghen, so since the other party had already explained it this way, Lin Qinghen didn't ask any more questions at this moment.
However, he still didn't understand some aspects, so he changed the topic and asked a few more questions: "Can this entrance be dug out?"
"It should be said that it was not dug out by you, it was just a coincidence," Yin Jiuxiao said, "Once the demonic crack hiding the entrance is revealed on the surface, it will be a sign that the ruins are mature and can be opened to the public. You just helped clear the obstacles that appeared."
The demonic energy cracks could not be dug out. He guessed that the road was complicated with many rugged rocks, making it difficult for ordinary demonic energy to emerge. He had wasted these two months in his previous life.
Lin Qinghen couldn't intervene in the fight at the Demonic Ruins, nor could he offer any suggestions. He lay in the man's arms and asked, "Jiuxiao wants to go?"
Yin Jiuxiao nodded: "Of course I will go."
Although he was reluctant to leave Lin Qinghen, his current strength was far from enough. In order to protect his beloved for a longer period of time, he had to go.
And it's not just him, this is also an opportunity for the Yin family. Even if they were buried in it in their previous life, they still have to give it a try.
How many families truly rose to prominence through such adventures. Although the Yin family now has some signs of revival, the warehouse is really empty. Those brought back from the Haihun City pit are basically below the heavenly level. The really good things can only be found in danger.
This kind of training opportunity is rare, so not only he wants to go, Yin Hengxie also wants to go, and even many people in the Yin family, including those little kids around eleven, twelve or thirteen years old, have to be thrown in to be trained.
They cannot go deep into the inner part, but they can still wander around the outer circle. If there is any profit, the family will not confiscate it and it will all belong to them. This can be considered as a kind of incentive. The young generation of the Yin family was trained in this way.
Lin Qinghen didn't stop him. He was silent for a while and asked again: "What if we don't solve the demonic energy crack and just leave it there for a while, will there be any problems?"
If the demonic energy crack is not resolved, there is a risk of it spreading, but that crack is just ordinary and will not spread far.
Lin Qinghen was not afraid of being discovered. The side road that was being repaired was a bit remote, and there were many rugged rocks there and no good resources produced. Usually, few adventurers would go there.
If Haihun City becomes suspicious, just find an excuse to get away with it, saying that place is not important for the time being and transfer personnel to more important places, and let the Yin family handle the evil spirit themselves.
Yin Jiuxiao: "This... I don't know."
No one in the spirit world has ever done this. Everyone rushes to take advantage of any benefit, and few are willing to stay and wait.
Theoretically, it should not disappear.
"There's no need to delay for too long. It's best to wait a few months. Now is not the best time," Lin Qinghen said. "I calculated that the Gale Powder and Qi Replenishing Pill will be produced in large quantities soon. You powerful ones naturally don't have much use for this kind of yellow-grade pill, but it's better to give a few to the younger generation to save their lives when they go in."
They were just going in to gain experience, and if a few children were killed, Lin Qinghen would not bear to let them go.
Especially the Swift Wind Powder, which is very useful for running away. Although Haihun City and Lingguan seem to have ordered a large number of them, in fact, they are not as much as Lin Qinghen has, and there are even fewer people outside.
The pollination method of Seven-Star Violet fruit is similar to that of Red Round Wheat. Yu Yinyin's bees and crystal butterflies can play a pollinating role. Lin Qinghen's harvest this period is twice the actual amount, and he still has a lot left.
He decided not to sell them and planned to supply the first batch only to his own people.
“Although I don’t understand this, don’t rush,” Lin Qinghen said, “Since we know in advance that it is the remains of the spirit demon, it is better to hide it now. Once the entrance is dug out, it will make too much noise. There are many people near the City of Tears now, so it cannot be hidden from the outside world. We know it in advance, so we can just spend some time to prepare early. When we open it, we will be more confident than those who are caught off guard.”
Prepare elixirs, acquire spiritual weapons, and be prepared. Even if you want to fight, you must have a plan.
