Chapter 573 Going Back
The stone ruins appear in the form of a city, with the exposed stone fortress serving as the entrance to the ruins.
When the two brothers, Wu Xuan and Wu Xuan, entered the ruins, what they saw was not the interior of the stone city, but a peculiar inner realm.
It must have been the ancestral land of some family before, and it was filled with all sorts of things...
Okay, it's still a stone.
However, these stones have formed all sorts of flowers, trees, and countless different landscapes, as well as many stone steps that stretch upwards, requiring people to climb continuously, and you will also encounter many stone beasts and the like.
This family is also known as the "Shi family".
The family's treasures and various inheritances are hidden in various stones, not limited to any particular type of stone. Even within a stone landscape, there may be some pattern that allows a door to open and some treasure to emerge.
At the same time, some stones had to be violently destroyed, while others revealed some patterns.
If you're mistaken, what you find inside the stone might not be a treasure, but a monster—most of them are like puppets, but there are also some living creatures—with all sorts of strange and unusual abilities.
If you successfully deal with the puppet or living creature, it will still leave behind some treasure in the same spot.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing naturally encountered a series of difficulties... well, they were just unlucky anyway.
The two brothers were used to it; they just faced stronger opponents and overcame difficulties along the way.
·
When Zhong Cai heard this, she secretly complained to herself.
The inner secret realm of the Shi family is very similar to many game complexes he had heard of in his previous life, especially the items dropped by monsters, which are quite interesting.
Wu Dongxiao openly listed the treasures he obtained after "fighting monsters"...
It's true that the protagonist is incredibly unlucky when it comes to encountering danger, but when it comes to things like "opening blind boxes" and "collecting loot," he's incredibly lucky.
The resources we obtained were quite plentiful.
Once this kid goes back, we can use the resources and accumulate some wealth again.
Zhong Cai touched her chin.
He should be able to cancel out a few of the IOUs in his hand.
·
Wu Dongxiao talked a lot, but he only mentioned what he knew. After all, he knew that his two uncles were not really interested in how he explored the ruins. It was just that Uncle Zhong was too busy refining pills and couldn't do anything else, so he listened to him talk a few words when he was bored.
So, aside from the unique features of the Shi family's secret realm, he only mentioned his senior brother's injury.
At that time, Wu Dongxiao was dealing with a stone beast of a much higher level than himself. There were also many other traps around him, which made it difficult for him to not only deal with the stone beast but also avoid the traps.
Xuan Bing also had to sweep away some other dangers nearby, although they were not as powerful as those encountered by Wu Dongxiao, but he was still unable to leave.
That stone beast is actually the core of the inner secret realm, and it's clear that the most precious inheritances and treasures within it must be the most precious treasures and artifacts of this place.
Now that he was here, and the stone beast wasn't entirely invincible, and considering all the dangers he had faced before, Wu Dongxiao naturally proceeded with extreme caution and gave it his all.
The core issue is indeed the core issue; it's not only dangerous, but also insidious.
Just as Wu Dongxiao finally managed to resolve the crisis despite getting injured, he did manage to cut off the stone beast's head, but a very agile, pink snake spewed out of its cavity!
Wu Dongxiao was exhausted from cutting off the beast's head and couldn't dodge for a moment. Xuan Bing, on the other hand, instinctively flashed forward and pushed Wu Dongxiao away. However, due to a momentary lapse in concentration, he was hit head-on by the extremely fast snake!
This little snake is actually formed from a condensed poisonous mist. This mist itself is active, but its toxicity is not very high. What is truly terrifying is that the little snake opens its mouth and spits out a cloud of pink mist, which is precisely the rouge poison.
Xuan Bing was hit squarely in the face.
Wu Dongxiao turned back as soon as he was pushed away, and just then saw this scene. He immediately noticed Xuan Bing's strange behavior and quickly took action.
Then, disregarding everything else, he casually pulled out a few more orbs of light that spewed out from the stone beast's cavity, and then carried Xuanbing and ran at top speed.
At this moment, other dangers within the inner realm were also activated instantly, and all sorts of threats came rushing in.
Wu Dongxiao was only focused on escaping, using his fastest speed, but he was still hit several times before finally managing to get away...
·
That said, after Xuan Bing sat up, he quickly sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
After taking the antidote, his poison was cured, but his body was still weak. Now he had to take all kinds of pills to replenish his blood, restore his energy and spirit, and restore his profound power.
Wu Dongxiao was prepared; he simply picked up a handful and fed it to his senior brother.
Xuanbing ate it without hesitation.
Having trained for many years, the two brothers were always prepared to give each other medicine to save time whenever they encountered danger.
At this point, it's just a matter of getting used to it.
About half an hour later, Xuan Bing finally transformed back into the composed and elegant young man he once was.
Wu Dongxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, put his right arm around Xuan Bing's neck, and said loudly, "You really scared me to death!"
Then, he took out a dark black scorpion leg, opened its shell, and handed it to Xuan Bing, with a hint of urging.
"Senior brother, eat quickly! I specially saved this for you!"
Xuan Bing roughly knew that this was probably shared by his two junior brothers, Zhong and Wu, with Dong Xiao. In similar situations in the past, Dong Xiao would always leave some for him. So, he didn't stand on ceremony and peeled out the scorpion meat and ate it... Then his eyes lit up, and he was conquered by the taste.
Wu Dongxiao could naturally see the delight in his senior brother's expression, and immediately made a decision—he would ask his uncle for the route later, go back and rest for a while, and then go hunting!
·
After they finished tidying up, Zhong Cai released the flying shuttle warship that the ancient city had transformed into once again, took his old man Wu's hand, and asked Wu Xuan and the other two to follow.
The warship quickly returned to the sect.
Wu Dongxiao sat not far from his two uncles, holding a jade slip in one hand.
Xuanbing was on his other side, in a similar posture.
Both of them were busy organizing and burning the files.
They had struggled in the ruins for so long and had obtained some inheritances. Of course, some of them were things they had already acquired, but there were also some that were quite rare. Whether they were miscellaneous notes or core cultivation techniques, if they thought they were good, they would copy them down.
At the same time, after each copy was made, the two would send it to Zhong and Wu.
Over the years, the two uncles have never been stingy with Wu Dongxiao's inheritance, nor do they mind Wu Dongxiao sharing with Xuan Bing. After the nephew's many adventures, he would often contribute some of his inheritance. Even if Xuan Bing obtained something on his own, he would be willing to give some to Wu Dongxiao first, and then Wu Dongxiao would share it with the Zhong-Wu couple.
Although Wu Dongxiao had many IOUs, the vast majority were related to protecting his personal safety, followed by rare and precious materials suitable for him. He rarely had to pay for anything related to inheritance.
While various traditions are certainly valuable, top geniuses like them often don't necessarily choose to learn only the best ones. Instead, they tend to read widely, comprehend things on their own, and create their own secret techniques.
They have accumulated more knowledge in alchemy, but whether they can actually produce results is another question.
Zhong Cai and Wu Dongxiao were both willing to pass on their novel alchemy techniques to each other. No matter how strong Zhong Cai's alchemy skills were, they would always be passed down. Who could be a better candidate than the "protagonist"? Therefore, a large part of Wu Dongxiao's alchemy skills came from Zhong Cai.
In return, Wu Dongxiao gave Zhong Cai some alchemy-related knowledge. After Zhong Cai learned it, he would definitely teach him in the future, so he worked even harder to "add bricks and tiles" to Zhong Cai's foundation.
·
At this moment, Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan, occasionally taking some jade slips and probing them with her soul.
As he looked at it, he picked up a jade slip, poured some of his insights into it, and tossed it back to Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao happily accepted it—he would certainly still have things he didn't understand in the future, but he would definitely "record" them on the jade slip Zhong Cai gave him and then go back to ask Zhong Cai for advice.
·
The group got along well, and after some time, the flying shuttle successfully arrived at the Lingxian Sect.
After bidding farewell to Zhong and his wife, Wu Xuan and his companion left the warship and headed towards the adjacent Temple of the God of War.
Zhong Cai took Wu Shaogan's hand and summoned Qingyu again, asking it to carry them directly to the Azure Dragon Mountains.
The place where his master, Sang Yunchu, lived.
·
Today, Zhong Cai was as lively as ever. As soon as she reached the top of the mountain, she skipped straight in, shouting as usual, "Master, Master! Look what I brought you! It's delicious food!"
The next moment, a gentle voice rang out: "Clumsy." Then it asked, "What delicious food is it?"
Zhong Cai chuckled and waved his hand, and a huge scorpion, as big as a small mountain, landed on the open ground outside the cave in the mountains.
It seemed as if the open space was instantly filled.
The scorpion emitted an extremely powerful aura, spreading out instantly and shaking the surrounding space.
On many nearby peaks, alchemists heard Zhong Cai's voice and came out out of curiosity to see what was going on. Since joining the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, they had indeed encountered many such scenes and found them quite interesting. Those who had nothing else to do also joined in the fun.
Now they are very curious.
What good things did Zhong Danhuang bring to Sang Danhuang this time?
The bond between this master and his student is truly wonderful!
Immediately afterwards...
Many alchemists who were watching saw the giant scorpion.
Not every alchemist could recognize it, but a few, after careful examination, found that it was the Blood-Eyed Sand Scorpion that they had read in the classics.
Wow! This is some good stuff!
However, upon recognizing them, some alchemists couldn't help but step back.
The one that appeared looks to be an eighth-tier creature!
Although he was dead, the aura he exuded was so powerful that they still couldn't withstand it!
