Chapter 328
The three-tailed fox brought Yuan Jing and Jian Hui to the front of a mountain, then rushed in headfirst. Instead of hitting a wall, it entered the mountain.
The three-tailed fox stopped, and Yuan Jing and Jian Hui jumped off its back hand in hand. What appeared in front of them was a group of somewhat dilapidated buildings, which was the illusion array outside just now, and it was actually a bit dilapidated.
The three-tailed fox turned its head and grabbed Yuan Jing's sleeve with its mouth and gently pulled it. Yuan Jing reached out and touched its head, looked at the buildings here and said, "What is this place? Is it a ruin or a site? Is there something important hidden here?"
The three-tailed fox chirped for a long time. Yuan Jing looked thoughtful and then translated it for Jian Hui: "The three-tailed fox said that this place was left by a sect. This secret realm was originally a place for the sect's disciples to practice. But suddenly one day the secret realm was attacked by a space storm. Some of the disciples who were originally practicing in it escaped, and some died directly in it. The only ones who survived in the secret realm were monsters like them."
"It brought us here, perhaps because it thought there was something we wanted to know, such as why this secret realm was attacked, and what happened to that sect. Let's go, let's look around and see if the disciples of that sect left anything behind."
The two of them and a three-tailed fox walked into the somewhat dilapidated building complex. They soon learned the name of the sect, which was called Tianyan Sect. It might be a considerable sect in the Xuankun Continent, but there was a great possibility that such a sect had been lost in the long river of time.
This three-tailed fox may have had a deep relationship with the Tianyan Sect, so it can come and go freely here. Following the three-tailed fox, they came to a collection room. It was a bit messy here. A bookshelf was knocked over and fell to the ground. Books and jade slips were scattered all over the floor, but no one came to clean them up. So the three-tailed fox said that those sect disciples who didn't have time to leave later died here. How did they die? The scene here didn't look like they died slowly.
The two of them worked together to tidy up the collection room, perhaps they could find clues from it. After sorting them out one by one, they discovered that the books here about the basics of cultivation were much more complete than those found in other secret realms. There was everything including elixirs, formations, talismans, and refining equipment. This would be a huge fortune to take out.
In addition to books on spiritual practice, there are also various notes left by disciples. One of them is spread out on a desk, and a paragraph is written on a blank page. It can be seen that the person who wrote this paragraph was in a hurry and may have stopped writing before finishing it, but this person seems to have never come back.
Perhaps we can imagine the scene at that time. Perhaps when the danger occurred, the monk was in this collection room. When the crisis came, he only had time to leave these words hurriedly and then rushed out, never to return.
"The Tianji Pavilion once revealed a secret that there will be a catastrophe in Xuankun Continent. I don't believe it, but now the space storm outside is destroying the secret realm, and we have lost contact with the sects outside. Is it true that Tianzhen wants to kill us? I hope I can survive to witness everything, but maybe..."
The conversation ends here. The person who left the letter never came back to write down what happened next. It is unclear whether he survived to witness what happened next.
Jian Hui patted Yuan Jing on the shoulder. Yuan Jing raised his head, sighed and said, "Let's look for other clues. We will take this note out and hand it over to the higher-ups."
Jian Hui nodded, and the two continued to sort out the collection pavilion. They did not find any more books left behind, but if they looked through all the books here, they might be able to find other clues, but the two could not waste all their time on this.
They put all these books and jade slips into a storage bag. Now this storage bag is no surprise to the Chinese top leaders.
When leaving the room, the three-tailed fox looked obviously depressed, and Yuan Jing could only touch its head to comfort it. Perhaps it really had a close relationship with the Tianyan Sect, and was even very familiar with the disciples here.
Then they found a lot of good things in other rooms, but things like elixirs and spiritual herbs had lost their effectiveness due to the long time they were stored. Only items like magic tools were still useful. There were also many spiritual herbs growing in the spiritual field in front of the house. Although no one came to clean it up and some were barren and some were overgrown with weeds, the two still reaped a lot of benefits.
Yuan Jing and Jian Hui put the mature spiritual herbs into a jade box and took them out to be handed in, while the immature ones were transferred into Yuan Jing's space to continue growing.
There is one thing that is quite strange. It should be said that many disciples died here, but they did not see a single corpse in the building complex. Could it be that they all turned into dust and disappeared?
After checking all other places, there was only one room left, but there was a formation restriction outside. The three-tailed fox followed Yuan Jing closely and chirped a few times. Yuan Jing said, "Is this the lounge for the elders who lead the disciples in for the trial? Let me try to see if I can break the formation restriction outside."
The three-tailed fox retreated a few steps, but when it saw Jian Hui still staying beside Yuan Jing, it took two steps forward unwillingly, which gave Jian Hui a headache. Fortunately, these monsters were not domesticated, otherwise he would have to compete with these monsters for favor all day long.
There are really pros and cons.
Yuan Jing ignored the quarrel between them and opened his Heavenly Eye to look for the weak points of the formation. Even the restrictions outside had problems, and the ones inside were of course no exception. After explaining to Jian Hui, the two of them attacked together. The three-tailed fox was not willing to be left behind, and seemed to want to show off everywhere that it was much stronger than Jian Hui's two-legged sheep. As a result, the restrictions of the formation outside soon collapsed.
Once the formation was broken, the even richer spiritual energy inside leaked out. There was actually a small spiritual vein inside for the cultivators to practice. The two men and one beast took a quick look and found that the quality of the spiritual herbs and fruits here were higher than those outside. It was obvious that the cultivation level of the cultivators here was much higher than that of the disciples who came in for the trial.
There was no rush to collect those things. The two men and the beast entered the room and took in the situation in the room at a glance. There was a cushion on the ground, and one could imagine that there was a cultivator sitting cross-legged on it to meditate and practice. On the other side was a desk and chairs, both of which were made of very fine materials. Next to the desk was a bookshelf. Although there were not many books and jade slips on the bookshelf, Yuan Jing dared to say that they should all be fine products.
"Look, this is an alchemy furnace. The cultivator who lives here might be an alchemist. He usually makes pills here. There are quite a few pill bottles on the shelf."
"This is a book on alchemy."
"This is the collected recipe."
Yuan Jing and Jian Hui were more and more surprised the more they looked. The status of the cultivators here was indeed not low, and the things placed here were all extremely good. They wondered into whose hands these things fell in Yu Ming's previous life.
The three-tailed fox was also very diligent. It brought one thing after another to Yuan Jing to present his treasures. It knew that Yuan Jing liked these things very much. In the end, it even took the cushion on the ground and wanted to bring it to Yuan Jing. Then there was a crisp sound and something fell to the ground.
The two men and the beast looked down and saw a ring dropped on the ground. The three-tailed fox immediately threw the cushion aside, pointed at the ring with its claws and chirped.
Yuan Jing and Jian Hui looked at each other: "Could this be a storage ring?"
The three-tailed fox waved its claws and the ring flew up. Then it was sent to Yuan Jing. It also looked at Jian Hui defiantly, showing off its abilities to Jian Hui all the time.
"Be careful." Jian Hui warned, "Or I'll do it."
The three-tailed fox was screaming in anger. Yuan Jing reached out to stop Jian Hui: "I know what you are worried about. Let me do it." He had more cards in his hand than Jian Hui. After all, the things in Jian Hui's memory were very limited.
Seeing the ring fall into Yuan Jing's hand, the three-tailed fox began to wag its tail.
Yuan Jing studied the storage ring. It looked very ordinary on the surface, with a restrained black glow. As the original owner was missing, there were no restrictions left on the storage ring. So he extended his soul power into the ring to see what was inside. Jian Hui was on guard at the side. The three-tailed fox seemed to have expected something. It stopped swinging its tail and stared at Yuan Jing with its eyes. It wanted to protect this two-legged sheep.
The items in the storage ring were obviously more than those placed outside. Just seeing the piles of spirit stones made Yuan Jing amazed. Suddenly, a black light shot towards Yuan Jing's soul power and rushed towards his sea of consciousness along this soul power.
"Yuan Jing!" Jian Hui called out when he saw the black light coming out of the ring.
"Ao!" The three-tailed fox stretched out its claws and was about to slap the black light.
At that moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Yuan Jing's body, and the two men and the beast heard a scream: "No - why..."
Something seemed to be melting away with a sizzling sound. Only then did the blinding golden light in the room dissipate. Jian Hui and the three-tailed fox regained their sight. Jian Hui knew that he had been alarmed for nothing. How could he forget the great merits of Yuan Jing? He wanted to take advantage of him? That was purely courting death. In his previous life, many evil spirits had fallen into his hands.
The three-tailed fox surrounded Yuan Jing and called out happily. It was obvious that the golden light was not only not a threat to it, but it also liked it very much. It was worthy of being its favorite two-legged sheep.
"Brother Jing, are you okay?" Jian Hui hugged Yuan Jing. "Was that a remnant soul? He hid in the ring and wanted to take over someone else's body? This remnant soul must be the elder of the Tianyan Sect who was originally here."
Yuan Jing nodded, patted his hand and said, "I'm fine. I came here to investigate because I have this trump card. Besides, my real soul power is not necessarily weaker than his. It's not easy for me to take over his body. By the way, I can also absorb his memory. You and Sanwei wait for me. Maybe you can learn more from his memory."
"good."
Yuan Jing also comforted the three-tailed fox, and then the three-tailed fox squatted obediently in front of Yuan Jing, waiting with Jian Hui for him to absorb and digest those memories.
