On a remote and deserted island, bursts of roars were heard from a cave deep in the hills.

Master Yunlong's whole body was filled with energy, veins on his forehead bulged, sweat flowed, and he was gasping for breath.

"ah!"

"Get out of here!"

He pressed the black magic power between his hands against his chest, grabbed the dense roots that seeped out of his body, and tried to pull them out bit by bit.

However, these roots have already entered the body like tentacles, attached themselves to the internal organs, and penetrated into the flesh and blood.

Even a part of it entered the Dantian through the meridians and was entwining with the golden elixir.

"Get out!"

"It's your good fortune that the ancestor has taken a liking to you."

In the sea of ​​divine consciousness, a ball of black light emitting chaos and disorder grew countless tentacles, which eroded the sea of ​​divine consciousness of Master Yunlong bit by bit.

Even though Yunlong's divine consciousness figure attacked repeatedly, the speed at which the tentacles were destroyed was far slower than the speed at which the tentacles grew.

"Let it go, it will be easy if you let it go."

Heiya's voice exudes a decadent feeling. It has possessed dozens of human cultivators, and the will of the one in front of him is the most powerful.

"dream!"

The divine man mobilized the power of his divine thoughts, which was over thirty-six thousand feet in length, and gathered into a number of divine soul swords, slashing towards the black light.

The sound of "puff puff puff" exploded in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and the black light was shattered by the Sword of Soul, but the powerful force also caused Yunlong Zhenren himself to be impacted.

"Jie, I, the ancestor, am immortal."

In an instant, the shattered black air gathered again from the sea of ​​​​divine consciousness, forming a black sun again, extending countless tentacles.

"Come on, let me take you flying."

"Merge with the ancestor."

"Don't even think about it."

…

A few days later, black smoke came out of the head of Yunlong Zhenren in the cave, and his hands, which were originally tearing the roots out of his body, stopped.

Under the skin all over the body, there were many things like thin worms moving around, densely packed with little black lights emerging through the skin.

"ah!"

Master Yunlong suddenly roared, and the energy that burst out of his body instantly shattered the cave and completely submerged him in the ruins of the chaotic world.

Half a month later.

The collapsed ruins exploded, and Master Yunlong, with a bald body and disheveled hair, rushed out, standing in mid-air and looking around.

"roar."

He opened his mouth slightly and a roaring sound came out of his throat. After trying for a while, the sound returned to normal.

The khaki tree buds in his eyes flashed away, and then his pupils returned to being pitch black.

Master Yunlong soared into the air and dived into the ocean outside the island. When he appeared again, he had combed his clothes again, and his robe and hair were tidy.

They crossed the ocean and entered the Nanya Fairy City.

"How dare you harm me again, you bastard!"

Inside the fairy city, in the palace suspended in the north of the city, Master Yunlong slammed the table with his big hand, turning the entire table into ashes, and murderous aura rose from his body.

"Elder, the sect has sent a message asking you to return immediately!"

…

Cloud Sect.

A forbidden area deep within the sect.

A huge spiritual waterfall flows down from the high mountains and falls into a deep pool in the valley. A clear spiritual river meanders through the valley.

The banks of the Ling River are covered with lush vegetation and sparkling with spiritual light. Nearly a hundred spiritual beasts of various kinds can be seen living on both sides of the Ling River.

And deep in the river, a jet-black dragon with a deep aura was floating quietly.

After a while, a ray of rainbow light rushed out from the rolling sea of ​​fog in the sky, and soon fell to the sky above the valley and suddenly stopped.

After the light faded, a female cultivator wearing colorful clothes appeared. She looked to be in her thirties, with phoenix eyes and skin as white as cream.

Then, dark light flickered in the depths of the pool, and clusters of black light blossomed into dazzling runes. When they converged, an old man in a white robe and leaning on a cane was revealed, and his eyes looked at the female cultivator who had descended.

"Yueyin, you never come to the temple for no reason."

"Brother Daoist, don't you know the purpose of my coming here?" The female cultivator Yue Yin Zhen Jun slowly walked down from the sky.

Ancestor Mo Long frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "The news did come from our South Sea, but it was obviously spread deliberately by someone. We need to investigate from multiple sources."

True Lord Yueyin did not listen to Patriarch Molong's explanation, but asked a question in return.

"So the story about the Vast Sea Secret Realm is true?"

"The Vast Sea Secret Realm has been passed down since the Middle Ages, and nothing has happened since then. But it happened this time. I am afraid that someone is planning something."

Having said this, Patriarch Molong paused.

"You should know that this is a matter concerning the Five Elements Palace. What does our little bit of Taoism mean to a stronger person?"

"I still remember vividly the trip to the Immortal Palace more than a hundred years ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Yueyin's expression changed.

The Five Elements Immortal Palace opened more than a hundred years ago, attracting Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tiannan Continent and other nearby continents.

The Immortal Palace landed near Tiannannanlu, and they thought it was an opportunity, but in fact, they didn't get very far when they entered.

Or rather, didn’t dare.

One reason was that they were trapped in a fog, and the other was that the monks from other regions were very powerful and did not take them seriously at all.

I just walked around the fairy palace and came back.

It's just that this matter is too embarrassing, so I didn't tell the younger generation.

Instead, the Taiyi Sect, the most powerful sect in the southern continent, entered and gained a great opportunity.

But the stronger the Taiyi Sect becomes, the harder life becomes for other sects.

Once the chief cultivator of Taiyi Sect breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage and is promoted to the rank of great Nascent Soul cultivator, the Nascent Soul cultivators of all the sects in Southern Continent will have to rely on him for their survival.

At this moment, the two Nascent Soul ancestors were silent for a long time.

Ancestor Molong thought for a while with an expressionless face.

Since it concerns the map of the Immortal Palace, Taiyi Sect will not sit idly by.

The Yunshang Sect may dominate the South China Sea behind closed doors, but it will never be able to stop the Taiyi Sect from entering.

Seeing that Patriarch Molong was silent for a long time, True Lord Yueyin's eyes flickered for a moment, "My disciple, Brother Yuhuan, also knows about this. I wonder if he can find a good match for her in your sect?"

Ancestor Molong's eyes lit up and he immediately understood Master Yueyin's intention.

If there is a marriage, the relationship will naturally be further improved, and the two clans will be closer in the future.

As for True Lord Yueyin's later thoughts, after the marriage, it would be related to matters concerning the Immortal Palace and the Immortal Map, so the two families would have to work together.

Without much hesitation, Patriarch Molong agreed.

"My Zong Yunlong is of the right age and has the potential to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. He is a good match for Junior Nymph Yuhuan."

"Then it's settled for now."

…

Wanshan area.

Located in the north of the South China Sea, it is a place with undulating mountains and connected mountain ranges, and it is also a branch of Tianzhu Mountain.

A slight noise was heard from an extremely inconspicuous hill among the vast mountains.

"Master, the cave is ready."

Dahei gritted his teeth and stood in front of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian ran all the way from the South China Sea to the Wanshan Region without stopping for nearly two months.

This trip to the secret realm taught him a great lesson.

That is, don’t join in the fun!

Those affected are just here to join in the fun.

Originally, he knew that there were five-element spiritual objects appearing in the secret realm, and he also noticed that it attracted other cultivators with five spiritual roots. He went to the secret realm to track the cultivators with five spiritual roots and see if he could obtain the corresponding skills.

However, on the way, at the outskirts of the secret realm, he was blocked by a Jindan cultivator from the Yunshang Sect. If he had known earlier, he should have run away.

This excitement led to a series of subsequent events.

From now on, it’s better not to join in this kind of fun.

Another lesson is to cultivate to the peak of the early Jindan stage as quickly as possible, and then imprint your first Jindan magical power and escape technique.

This way you can run away quickly and conveniently.

In this way, the manifestation of the golden elixir's magical power will allow him to escape from the dangerous place in the first time.

The cave that Dahei dug out had one bedroom and one living room, just enough for him to practice and for the spirit beasts to go out for some fresh air.

After setting up overlapping formations in the surrounding mountains, Shen Lian sat cross-legged in the cave with peace of mind and began to count his gains in the secret realm.

A crisp collision sound was heard, and a pile of storage rings fell in front of him.

There are forty-three in total.

Of course, there were more storage rings left behind by the Jindan cultivators in the secret realm, but Shen Lian had blown them up too loosely at the time, so some of the storage rings flew away and some directly disintegrated.

I still remember that when he got the storage ring from the old demon Lianzhen, he didn't dare to take it out. He found a rope to tie it and hung it around his neck.

Now, he can throw a handful with one.

Just when Shen Lian was about to pick one up, his figure paused, and then a colorful light flashed on his body. The Five Elements Ship flew out and landed on the spirit puppet that appeared at the same time.

With a whoosh, he dived into the spirit ship's cave.

Knock knock.

After falling into the cave, he stepped hard with his feet. The soil was still very hard. Of course, compared with the vast sea secret realm, his cave of more than 400 feet could only be regarded as an economical and practical cave.

However, Shen Lian was still very satisfied.

From then on, he also became a person with a cave.

Looking at the upside-down dome of the cave that looked like a big bowl, Shen Lian was thoughtful. In the future, he could reinforce his own cave according to the type of barriers in the secret cave of the vast sea.

The secret realm of the vast sea has been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present day, and the solidity of its cave heaven is completely demonstrated by facts.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave.

Shen Lian began to organize the storage ring he had obtained.

The storage rings of Jindan cultivators will have a divine thought seal, but everyone just uses it as a protection, and they don’t have layer upon layer of seals like Master Yunlan.

Moreover, with the death of their master, most of these restrictions broke on their own.

Shen Lian poured the contents of his storage ring directly onto the open space in front of him, one by one, and the flashes of light illuminated his eyes.

The worth of a Jindan cultivator cannot be compared to that of a foundation-building cultivator.

The low-grade spirit stones emitting spiritual light piled up into a small hill, with the total number reaching 23.67 million.

Each storage ring contains a minimum of three to five hundred thousand or even millions of items.

Generally speaking, the cultivation resources of Jindan cultivators have been upgraded from low-grade spirit stones to medium-grade spirit stones. Some Jindan cultivators who are a little short of money will mix the two types of spirit stones for cultivation.

Medium-grade spirit stones, seven hundred and eighty-six thousand nine hundred pieces.

Seventeen third-level low-grade magic weapons.

Eight mid-grade magic weapons.

A broken top-grade magic weapon.

Jindan cultivators mainly use their own natal spiritual treasures, and some wealthy people will also purchase other magical treasures suitable for their own sacrifices.

Generally speaking, it is quite good for a Jindan cultivator to be able to control three magic weapons. This requires strong spiritual power to control, unless he is like Shen Lian who does not refine them and is just a bitch who lives there to listen to the noise.

The main magic weapons of these Jindan cultivators either fell in the secret realm or shattered on the spot, so Shen Lian was not disappointed to find them in the storage ring.

The Jindan cultivators in the South China Sea are not rich either, and even if all their fortunes are given to him, he should be grateful.

Thanks.

There are also more than 300 pieces of third-level ores, including the Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, as well as special Black Xuan Gem Jade and Qing Lan Bao Sui, as well as ores such as the previously difficult to obtain Xuan Ming Stone.

As for the second-level ores, there are even more of them, and Shen Lian is too lazy to count them.

He even collected six sets of the third-order lower-grade five-element spiritual objects and one set of the third-order mid-grade five-element spiritual objects.

There is also a piece of third-grade top-quality cloud-patterned evergreen wood, about half a foot long. The cloud patterns on it are crystal clear, exuding a rich wood vitality.

As for the elixirs, the owners of the storage rings present all entered the secret realm and searched it thoroughly.

Shen Lian found a total of 276 third-level spiritual herbs, with their ages ranging from 500 to 2,000 years.

The highest quality one is a Qingling vine with treasure patterns that reaches the third-grade upper grade, which is the main ingredient for refining the third-grade upper grade cultivation elixir Qingling Baoyuedan.

This medicine is also the oldest, reaching two thousand years.

The most abundant spiritual medicine is the three-leaf Qingxu grass, which is about 500 years old. It is the main ingredient for the three-pattern Qingxu Pill, a elixir for the initial stage of refining the golden elixir.

Among them was a three-leaf Qingxu grass, which was nearly a thousand years old. Shen Lian checked it and found that the medicinal power was not much stronger than that of a plant that was five hundred years old.

There are more than two thousand second-level medicinal herbs, which can be used as the main ingredients of third-level spiritual medicines.

In general, the medicinal properties of this batch of spiritual herbs cover a wide range, including improving cultivation, spiritual power, restoring mana, spiritual power and healing.

Shen Lian himself is an alchemist, so the elixirs are truly put to good use in his hands.

There were a lot of other miscellaneous items, such as formations, magic tools, robes, and female practitioners' underwear. Shen Lian picked out the useful ones, and after thinking about the useless ones, he did not throw away.

Maybe it will be useful later.

Standing up and moving to another place, Shen Lian's hands flashed and jade slips and scrolls flew out.

These are the cultivation methods, secret techniques, etc. collected from the storage ring.

It covers gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as dual or triple-series practice methods such as gold and water, earth, wood and fire.

Among them there is also a method that contains all five elements, which was collected from the storage ring of the formation master Xing Dianhua.

On the contrary, no Five Elements Kung Fu was found in the storage ring of the Five Spirit Roots Golden Elixir of another person named Luo Yongduan.

Xing Dianhua was born in a Jindan sect. He was in the middle Jindan stage and was a formation master. His status in the sect was no less than that of the sect master. It was reasonable for him to engrave a copy of the skills and carry them with him.

Luo Yongduan was born in a Yuanying sect in the East China Sea, but his Jindan strength was not enough to reach the top of the sect.

"Five Elements Mixed Origin Method."

When Shen Lian picked up this Five Elements Kung Fu, his eyes lit up. This method directly pointed to the great perfection of the Golden Elixir, and there was a chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

After some study, he found that this method seemed to be somewhat lacking at the Jindan level, but it did not affect cultivation.

Shen Lian, who had mastered many five-element cultivation methods, quickly realized the missing part, which should be the part that brought together yin and yang.

Putting down the Five Elements Hunyuan Method, Shen Lian took out the last ring, which was left by Yun Lan.

Then the five elements of spiritual fire were released, and a little bit of it fell on the ring, and with the help of his spiritual thoughts, it began to dispel the restrictions on it.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

"puff!"

A flash of spiritual light exploded in the ring, and Shen Lian's spiritual sense instantly rushed straight in and penetrated into the ring.

The first thing you see inside the ring is a collection of crystal coffins with colorful lights flashing across them.

Lying in the coffins were the bodies of Jindan monks.

One of them, Shen Lian, looked familiar. He had chased Luo Yongduan's treasure ship from the Black Cliff Immortal City all the way to the island where the secret realm was located.

In addition to Luo Yongduan, there was another five spiritual roots golden elixir cultivator on the treasure ship.

It was not seen in the secret realm, but now the case has been solved. It is lying obediently in the storage ring of Master Yunlan.

What did Yun Lan do with the Five Spiritual Roots Golden Pill? After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lian's mind swept through the storage ring, ignoring the magic weapons, spirit stones and other spiritual objects, and fell on the jade slips and scrolls piled together.
