ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 215 The Lost Dragon Vein

After hearing Du Xinghe's heroic words, Jian Shanzhu glanced at her and said, "No path-finding tools can be used here."

"I don't use ordinary magic tools."

Du Xinghe smiled slightly and called up the palace fighting system in his heart.

[Host, how can I help you? ]

After it replied to her, she said: [I am here to collect my monthly benefits. ]

Du Xinghe hasn't used [Spying on the Emperor's Tracks], one of the monthly benefits of the Palace Fighting Invincible System, for quite a while. After all, she had been in seclusion in the Nine-Layered Sword Mountain Tiger all day long and had no chance to use it. But she still remembered that when she first entered the secret realm, she relied on it to earn her first pot of gold by picking up a lot of materials for free, and she also encountered a Qilin egg.

This was also the reason why she felt confident when she heard that they were going to explore the Sea of ​​Forbidden Language.

The palace fighting system was silent for a moment, and asked uncertainly: [Host, you are at the bottom of the sea. ]

Du Xinghe: [Yes, can't there be traces of the emperor at the bottom of the sea? ]

The palace fighting system checked again: [The emperor that the host is trying to capture is not called Zhao Bing! ]

When the system spoke out the name of the Southern Song Emperor, Du Xinghe seemed to hear the sound of his merits being reduced by one.

She calmed down: [Don't worry about it, I'm just here to find the emperor. Isn't the sea king a king? Who said that only those who walk on land are emperors? Narrow-minded! ]

The series of accusations that were neither justified nor reasonable confused the palace fighting system.

However, [Spying on the Emperor's Tracks] is only a monthly benefit and is not worth much. Since the host insists, let her use the palace fighting system.

The next moment, a compass emitting a strange light appeared in Du Xinghe's hands.

Master Jianshan blurted out: "What a beautiful magic weapon!"

From the perspective of Master Jianshan, it was as if Du Xinghe suddenly had an extra magic weapon in his hand. Although she could not feel any spiritual fluctuations from it, there was a more refined and higher-level power flowing secretly. She knew at a glance that this was an extraordinary item, so she tactfully did not ask about its origin and name.

"Follow me."

Du Xinghe said.

The two passed through the narrow passage and came to a relatively wide cave. At the bottom of the cave lay several faintly glowing skeletons quietly. They were the corpses of high-level monks, which had been preserved in the Silent Sea and had not decayed for a thousand years.

Master Jianshan sighed:
"The Dawn Class Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, and the corpses of our predecessors can be seen everywhere."

"I have thought about taking them out, at least to bury them on the Nine-Layer Sword Mountain, but they all have restrictions on their bodies to protect their bones from being touched by others. My spiritual power was suppressed too much in the Sea of ​​Silence, and I couldn't break those restrictions. The restrictions that were originally meant to protect the integrity of the bodies have forced them to lie on the cold seabed and wait for nature to dissipate... This is understandable. The bodies of high-level cultivators are all treasures, and no one wants to be refined into materials after death. But they are also worrying too much. Those who can go to the Nine-Layer Sword Mountain are all sword cultivators, so how could they do such a thing to insult the corpses? Xinghe, what do you think?"

Du Xinghe slowly withdrew his hand:
"...Yes, sister is right."

Jianshan Lord was suspicious: "What was your intention in reaching out to those corpses below just now?"

"No, I just want to paddle forward."

"really?"

"Seriously, seriously."

Du Xinghe nodded repeatedly.

She definitely wasn't unable to resist the urge to stuff the high-level monk's skeleton into her storage ring after seeing it.

Du Xinghe looked at the direction indicated by the compass in his hand and said, "Sister, let's go upstream."

The two of them were like two nimble fish in the deep sea, floating to the surface in the blink of an eye.

The air chamber is a spatial structure formed on the seabed due to geological structure and water pressure, but it is not common to find ones large enough to accommodate people walking in them. Du Xinghe has seen quite a few in the world of immortal cultivators - but high-level cultivators can also breathe in water, so she doesn't care too much about them.

Du Xinghe followed the guidance of the compass and came to a skeleton.

Master Jianshan: "Xinghe, are you using this to look for corpses?"

Crossing the Galaxy: "..."

Who among those who can cultivate to a high level is not a person with great luck? Therefore, it is quite reasonable for their corpses to be identified as "Emperor's Traces" by the system.

Du Xinghe tried to communicate with Luo Pan:
[Stop pushing dead people to me! Give me some dead things! I'm here to look for treasure, not to clean up corpses! ]

Luo Pan naturally did not respond to her request.

There were only waves of floating light indicating her next step.

There was hardly any wind in the damp and stuffy space. Apart from the two people's breathing, the strange noises coming from a distance could be heard.

Master Jianshan reminded her: "There are many undiscovered spiritual beasts in the Forbidden Sea, as well as some evil spirits. Our current cultivation is suppressed, so we should be careful."

Du Xinghe nodded: "I understand."

After Master Jianshan saw that she understood, he walked straight into the depths with a swagger.

Walking in a dark cave for too long will numb your senses.

The same footsteps, breathing, warm and soft ground, and a strange fragrance...

Master Jianshan put his hand on the sword: "No, we seem to have reached——"

The moment the two realized something was wrong, the seemingly ordinary scenery around them also began to show signs of abnormality.

The stone wall turned into a flesh-colored dark brown and bounced violently. They seemed to have walked into the intestines of some creature, and even corrosive liquid seeped out. The soles of their shoes made a sizzling sound when they touched it.

Just as Jian Shanzhu drew his sword from its sheath, he heard Du Xinghe chuckle, "This is just a mediocre trick, there's no need to draw your sword."

She took out three kinds of spiritual herbs from her storage ring, squeezed and refined them with the spiritual power of her Qi Refining Period, kneaded them together, and then dropped them onto the ground.

When the object in her hand merged into the ground, after a brief silence, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted, and the sky and the earth spun around, and the two sank into the sea. A sword flashed by, and it was a huge and slender sea snake that was about to attack Du Xinghe, but was intercepted in time by Master Jianshan.

The sea snake-like beast roared furiously and spit out blood.

When the enemy was in an extremely weak state, even the suppressed Sword Mountain Master could easily kill it with her sword moves: "After it tricked us into its stomach, it wanted to refine us directly, but it was counterattacked by you." She paused: "But, you just..."

"Actually, I'm also an alchemist."

"I just temporarily mixed some herbs that can make the monks vomit."

Master Jianshan couldn't believe his ears: "Alchemist? I've never heard you mention that."

"I just learned some basics," Du Xinghe said lightly, but after a pause, a smile appeared in his eyes: "I have to thank my senior brother. He stuffed a lot of versatile spiritual herbs and elixirs into my storage ring, saying that it was for precaution. I thought he was too worried, but I didn't expect it to come in handy."

When Du Xinghe thought of his nagging senior brother, his heart softened.

She held Xue Ming tightly:
"Okay, it's decided. I'm going to bring him some rare materials back."

Master Jianshan: "Okay, I'll accompany you."

……

Three hours after saying "I'll accompany you", Master Jianshan felt a little regretful.

Since the cultivation of cultivators is suppressed in the Silent Sea, the spirit beasts here do not seem to be very strong. They are good at absorbing the spiritual energy of the secret realm to cultivate. Compared with the spirit beasts in the outside world, they are more refined and contain rare materials that cannot be seen in the outside world. To kill them, the cultivator's combat experience will be tested even more.

During these three hours, Du Xinghe kept looking for spiritual beasts to kill.

Master Jianshan didn't know how the compass in her hand was activated, but she could always find living things in the secret realm that was as dark as a maze.

In the end, the distant breathing sounds almost all avoided the two of them.

When he met the sea snake beast famous for its illusion again, Du Xinghe directly activated the Purple Wisdom Pupil, wanting to break the illusion, but found that this time he was not in the sea snake's intestines.

But...

"Well."

Du Xinghe jumped twice on the spot and indeed felt a discomfort in his stomach.

"Is it connecting the ground with my intestinal senses..."

Du Xinghe muttered to himself.

Her cultivation was suppressed, but the inner vision ability of a Jindan cultivator was not lost. She could see that a part of her intestine was entangled by the curse chain. It was probably because she was ambushed by a sea snake hiding in the dark when she was fighting with the spirit beast just now, and was hit by the curse chain, which connected a part of her intestine to the wall.

She had heard similar tricks from the elders in the witch clan.

The cursed energy will spread outward with the curse chain as the center, polluting it until it is completely reversed and replaced.

Under normal circumstances, with the protection of the Jade Bone Robe, Du Xinghe would rarely fall victim to such an ambush.

She stood still and said:
"…The elder didn't tell me how to break the curse!"

After Master Jianshan understood the situation, he comforted her: "Don't move easily where you are. I'm going to find the spirit beast that cursed you. It will definitely not be too far away."

She stayed where she was, so she could naturally minimize the damage.

But Du Xinghe said, "That's not necessary."

Master Jianshan: "Didn't you say you don't know how to remove the curse? Don't tell me you know a thing or two about removing the curse?"

After knowing that Du Xinghe was also the champion of the Alchemy Conference, Master Jianshan felt that it was not surprising that she knew something else.

"I don't understand, but I am a swordsman."

As soon as Du Xinghe finished speaking, Xue Ming drew his sword out of its sheath, a cold light flashed, and with a "puff", the sword sank into the flat abdomen.

Master Jianshan: “…Ah?”

Master Jianshan: "Wait, wait!"

Du Xinghe cut off the contaminated part very neatly and quickly, reconnected it front to back, and smeared some crushed hemostatic pills on the wound. In the blink of an eye, he completed a fully sterile operation that would make all surgeons scream.

"what happened?"

Du Xinghe raised his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat with the back of his hand, and comforted his companion: "Missing a section of the intestine may cause constipation, but I have been fasting for a long time. The entire set of digestive and urinary organs is just a decoration. It's just like the curse chain attached to my hair, and I just cut off that lock of hair."

Her relaxed smile was even more calm than walking into a barber shop.

It was as if the person with blood flowing from her belly was not her.

"Okay, the curse chain and the caster will respond to each other. I'm going to use it to find the spirit beast that is plotting against me."

Master Jianshan watched his companion carrying the indescribable object and rushing into the depths of the secret realm. For the first time, he felt that words were so pale and powerless:

"No, I have to go help her."

When she recovered, Du Xinghe had returned covered in blood.

Du Xinghe even said to her considerately: "Haha, that's not my blood. I chopped it into sea snake sashimi."

So that Master Jianshan wouldn't worry about her.

The two were originally in the sea water, and the blood was quickly washed away, returning her face to its cold and beautiful complexion - Du Xinghe's eyebrows and eyes were rather thick and beautiful, and his words and actions were cold and sharp, combining to form a unique temperament that was intimidating.

Of course, these are other people's opinions.

Du Xinghe now feels that appearance is the least important thing. If you like beautiful women, you can look at her apprentice Shenshui.

Master Jianshan couldn't help but twist her face: "Don't be so anxious to hurt yourself next time. It will be the same if I find it and kill it."

"I forgot,"

Du Xinghe took out the sea snake sashimi he had just sliced ​​and asked, "Would you like a bite?"

"I have already comforted you, don't repay kindness with hatred."

"Ok."

Du Xinghe put away the sea snake sashimi in disappointment.

After three hours of continuous hacking and killing, even Master Jianshan felt a little tired.

In the past, the ability to fight continuously relied more on deep spiritual power.

When her cultivation was suppressed, she felt the embarrassment of the Qi Refining Stage for the first time in a long time.

Seeing that Du Xinghe was still eager to fight, Jian Shanzhu could only sheath his sword, lean back, and let his body sink naturally: "No, I'm a little tired, I need to let my sword and I rest for a while... Don't you need to rest?"

Du Xinghe: “No need.”

Sword Spirit: "I want to rest, thank you."

Du Xinghe looked at his sword in disbelief: "Sword also needs to rest? Didn't I hold you in my hand and swing you all the time?"

Sometimes, following a master like this, Jian Ling really wants to apply for labor arbitration.

The sword spirits of the whole world should unite and hang this kind of sword cultivator on the Nine-Layered Sword Mountain!
Since his own sword had stopped working, Du Xinghe had no choice but to take a rest along with him.

"If the Sea of ​​Forbidden Talk is this difficult, it wouldn't be that dangerous. How come so many high-level monks died here?"

Du Xinghe muttered to himself.

Master Jianshan laughed: "You think it's simple."

For monks who like to risk their lives in close combat, the restrictions that the Sea of ​​​​Silence can impose are indeed limited.

Du Xinghe didn't use that kind of gorgeous area-killing spell very often. This time when she came to explore the Sea of ​​​​Forbidden Words, she was able to put the swordsmanship she had practiced for the past three years into practice.

She hasn't had enough killing yet.

It was just that her lower abdomen was aching slightly, so she raised her hand and patted her belly: "Don't feel any pain."

Sword Spirit: "Why don't you change your job to become a medical practitioner? I think you have a talent for curing illnesses and saving lives."

Du Xinghe turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm of his own sword.

She killed almost all the spiritual beasts around, dyeing the sea water red. There was no smell in the water, only layers of red shadows passing by in front of her eyes. It was so quiet that the only sounds left were the heartbeat and the blood flowing through the blood vessels.

Du Xinghe held the sword very tightly, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.

She sometimes thought before that maybe she was not suitable to come to the world of immortal cultivation.

Maybe she could become a chivalrous swordsman, killing pigs and dogs everywhere, and then jump off a cliff laughing while being besieged by the eight major sects...

No, wouldn't that make him a villain?

The sea water polished his eardrums, he looked at himself across the galaxy, and the Nascent Soul formed by the five golden pills was inside his body.

But there must be things that knights cannot do, but only cultivators can do.

A swordsman cannot overthrow a dynasty alone.

Immortal cultivators can.

...Ordinary immortal cultivators can't do it, but she can cross the galaxy.

"No, my hands are itching again!"

Master Jianshan had only rested for less than a cup of tea when he saw the man next to him stand up with a sword in hand and rush into the depths of the secret realm again.

Lord Jianshan: "..."

The Sword of the Sword Mountain Master: "...

It suddenly felt that its life as a swordsman was quite leisurely and happy.

……

The Sea of ​​Forbidden Words has the advantage of geographical location, and Master Jianshan has entered this Dawn-level secret realm many times.

But this is the first time I have explored so deep.

Firstly, when she was traveling alone, the number of spirit beasts she could exterminate was limited, so she often had to stop to rest and record the route she had taken so that it would be convenient for her to come back next time. Almost all the secret realms with published route maps were explored step by step by predecessors in this way.

Du Xinghe held a compass in her hand and rushed to the place where there were treasures.

Master Jianshan had obtained Taiqing Stone with great difficulty before. He saw six pieces along the way alone, and they were all quite large.

She jokingly said, "If I didn't know, I would have thought you were the one who had been here."

Du Xinghe: "If I say speed pass, it means speed pass."

She looked down at the compass, and this time the light was brighter than ever before.

Seeing this, Du Xinghe also put away his playful mood and started taking drugs seriously.

When Master Jianshan cast a questioning look at her, she handed over two medicine bottles: "What is this?"

"The medicine to improve spiritual power was also given to me by my senior brother. There is also one that can help focus attention. I used to take one when I practiced swordsmanship. Do you want to try it?"

Master Jianshan took the two bottles of pills.

The first bottle was densely written in a boy's handwriting, which detailed how to take the medicine. It was best to take the medicine after a meal, with warm water and candied fruit.

I guess it was written by her senior brother Du Xinghe.

"No wonder Xinghe, you always have a smile on your face when you mention your senior brother." Master Jianshan couldn't help laughing.

"My brother treats me very well."

At that time, she was already a Jindan sword cultivator, and her senior brother still took care of her as a Taoist child who knew nothing about the world.

The second bottle is much simpler, with only three words.

Master Jianshan: "Warming Love Pill...?"

Master Jianshan: "Xinghe, are you sure this is really a pill that can help you focus? Besides, you and I are both in the Nascent Soul stage, so the effects of ordinary pills are minimal for us."

Seeing Du Xinghe nod affirmatively, she took the two medicines at the same time.

As she swallowed it, the palace fighting system sounded a notification:

[Tricked other women into taking the Warm Love Pill, the host's intention is unclear, and the palace fighting points did not change. 】

Du Xinghe: [Let's take this medicine together to find the Emperor's trace, you know what I mean.]

【The system doesn’t understand. 】

Although he said he didn't understand, he still honestly added ten points to her score.

After a while, Jian Shanzhu said doubtfully, "I am already in the Nascent Soul stage, but this elixir makes me feel a strong sense of heat. What a powerful elixir. Is it from the hands of an elixir master?"

Du Xinghe flattered himself: "It was done by me."

Lord Jianshan was even more impressed with her.

"I have to use my internal energy to transform this heat into sword power."

As Master Jianshan spoke, he placed his hand on the sword, his eyes gradually changing from confused to determined: "...I feel the power emerging! As long as I can suppress this heat, I will succeed in everything I do!"

Du Xinghe had long been accustomed to using the effect of the Warm Love Pill for his own benefit, and he looked calm and composed.

"Let's go."

The two swam deeper and deeper into the water.

The deeper the water is, the darker the color becomes, from the breathtaking blue to the dizzying dark black. There seems to be a long and deep trench underneath. If you keep your eyes on it for a moment, you will feel like you are being sucked into it, never to return.

The compass pointed us towards the trench.

"You're really leading people into a ditch." Du Xinghe muttered.

Master Jianshan reminded: "I have never been to this trench alone before, you should think about it carefully."

"I have to go."

Du Xinghe took the lead and swam deeper into the water. Master Jianshan could only follow her. Her white hair swayed behind her head like seaweed, like a white jellyfish.

When the two swam to deeper depths, they suddenly saw a bright glow that illuminated the entire trench.

At the same time, loud noises and unusual movements occurred simultaneously. Rocks from the cliffs of the trench rolled down, shaking the sea water. The sudden increase in water pressure squeezed a passing fish, causing it to burst and explode, turning into a pool of blood mist in the water.

A huge force sucked the two of them in.

Du Xinghe drew his sword and smashed the falling rocks into pieces. At the same time, he also saw clearly where the two of them came to after passing through the cliff in the sea -

A huge city that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The city under the water was silent, without a single living soul in sight.

This city has no sky, and above it is an arched cave wall. The tiny crack in the cave wall is exactly the trench that the two people had just swam through.

"here it is……"

Lord Jianshan stared ahead.

A giant golden dragon was coiled above the cave wall.

No, not gold.

Gold may be hard currency among mortals, but it is not considered rare in the world of immortals. Cultivators don't even look at it twice. There was once a mortal who had practiced for half his life and finally achieved the foundation of cultivation. He went to great lengths to get a lot of gold and built himself a pure gold cave. He kept it secret for fear of attracting the covetousness of others. After keeping it secret for a long time, he discovered that his fellow Taoists all knew that he had a golden cave, but they just didn't like it.

Du Xinghe looked at it for a few more seconds and felt the power emanating from the golden dragon. This was definitely not an effect that could be created by gold.

It was probably some rare material that she had never seen before.

"Anyway, let's dig some down and take it away."

Du Xinghe said.

"no!"

Lord Jianshan stopped her.

Du Xinghe turned around and said in confusion: "Don't worry, I remember that there is a part that needs to be handed in. I will only take the part that I deserve."

"No, no, this cannot be moved..." Jianshan Lord shook his head: "The secret realm does not exist in the real world. You know this, right?"

"I know. I am a casual cultivator, not an illiterate."

"I suspect that this forbidden sea is connected to the dragon vein that Xuan Nation lost."

Du Xinghe: "...Ah? You can recognize it? Wait, no, Xuan Country lost the dragon vein?"

As soon as she said this, Master Jianshan's face turned pale.

Master Jianshan hesitated: "You don't know? His Majesty didn't tell you?"

The loss of Xuan Kingdom’s dragon vein is an open secret among the top leaders.

After all, His Majesty had to lead the ministers who had made significant contributions to pay homage every five years. The sudden cancellation of this collective activity would definitely lead to many questions. The dragon vein worship ceremony had been hidden for ten years and twice, but it could finally be hidden no longer.

The escaped divine beasts and the lost dragon veins are all concerns for Your Majesty.

The Master of Jianshan stays on the Jiuchongjian Mountain all year round to teach the students of the Jiangong. She lives in seclusion. Apart from teaching sword skills, her only official duty is to guard this Shu-level secret realm where few outsiders come. Her slowness in interpersonal communication is inversely proportional to the sharpness of her sword.

Emperor Xuan allowed Du Xinghe to enter the Sword Palace and asked her to use the title of Xinghe Fairy and treat her like a guest. Lord Jianshan thought that she knew about the loss of the dragon vein just like everyone else.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Sword Spirit: "Oh haha."

Sword Spirit: "How can a person cause such a big mess? I've learned something new."

Lord Jianshan calmed down and said, "Forget it, you will know if you know. You will know sooner or later if you stay in Xuan Country for a long time... I am not sure if this is the case. I did not follow His Majesty to worship the dragon vein in the past. It is just that what they said is very similar. Anyway, since you understand, this golden dragon cannot be touched."

Master Jianshan was not sure. Du Xinghe looked up at the golden dragon sleeping with its eyes closed, but felt a strong calling.

In an instant, she was certain that this was most likely the lost dragon vein.

The compass glow illuminated her face from below, leaving almost no shadow on her face.

"Sister, your swordsmanship is the strongest among all the swordsmen I have ever seen."

A hint of purple rose from Du Xinghe's wrist and spread quietly.

The Gu God Technique's Gu field unfolded in this ruined city. The dark black color instantly engulfed the two of them, as if they had come to a space isolated from the world. "I want to have a fair fight with you here."

Jianshan Zhu has been in the Nascent Soul realm for a long time, and her control over the power of the Nascent Soul realm is much better than Du Xinghe.

But on the other hand, Du Xinghe also has many "unconventional methods" that can attack by surprise.

If the two of them were to have a real duel outside the secret realm, it would be hard to say who would win.

At this time, in the Silent Sea that was divided into a poison field by Du Xinghe, the cultivation of the two was suppressed to the Qi Refining Stage, which greatly weakened the advantage of Master Jianshan.

only……

"Only compare swordsmanship, nothing else."

Faced with this sudden change, Jian Shanzhu looked around: "Ah? What just now suddenly stimulated your sword addiction?"

It is common for sword cultivators to suddenly fall ill and want to fight.

I feel like using the sword and want to chop a few times.

She didn't feel any hostility from Du Xinghe, so she didn't think Du Xinghe wanted to hurt her.

"Where should I start?"

Du Xinghe pondered for a moment, feeling that she couldn't finish her bitter and vengeful life story in a short time. She didn't like to waste words, and telling touching stories before taking action was not her style: "Forget it, please fight me with all your strength. If you lose to me, the consequences will be serious."

Hearing this, Master Jianshan raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"You don't have to tell me that I won't show mercy."

"I hate it when people are halfway through talking. I'll beat you up and then ask you what's wrong with you!"

Two sword cultivators could start fighting over a disagreement, and show no mercy.

Showing mercy at this time would be a sign of disrespect to your opponent.

——The opponent agrees to the duel invitation and the duel is established.

Jian Xiu is a bit like Ah San, except that Ah San starts a musical when he disagrees with someone...
