Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Jiang Qiong's sword energy was as powerful as a bamboo breaking through a bamboo, instantly breaking through the black barrier and piercing straight into the old man's body.

The old man howled in pain. His body was hit by the sword energy. He took a few steps back and spurted out blood from his mouth.

His face became even paler, and his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Do you think you can kill me like this?"

The old man roared and thrust his staff into the ground. Black energy quickly spread out, and the entire cave was shrouded in darkness.
Jiang Qiong's vision was obscured by darkness, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of depression and terror.

He could feel the old man's aura wandering in the darkness, like a lurking beast, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

Jiang Qiong did not dare to relax at all. He gripped the sword tightly, and the spiritual shield flashed a faint light around him.

"You can only fight me with the help of the special enhancement of the secret realm. It is easy to kill you." Jiang Qiong said coldly, his voice echoing in the cave.

The old man's laughter rang out in the darkness, full of mockery and malice, and he said lightly: "Young man, you are too naive."

"Darkness is my domain. You can't defeat me here."

Before he finished his words, a black energy wave suddenly came from the darkness and hit Jiang Qiong's shield.

The shield vibrated violently, Jiang Qiong felt a huge impact, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

He quickly adjusted his breathing, concentrated his spiritual power, and steadied his body.

"Hmph, a dying struggle!" A determined light flashed in Jiang Qiong's eyes, and he quickly circulated his spiritual power. The long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, slashing towards the darkness again.

The sword flashed, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness, striking directly in the direction of the old man.

A painful howl was heard in the darkness. It was obvious that Jiang Qiong's sword energy had hit the old man.

The energy fluctuations in the darkness became more violent, as if roaring in anger.

"If you want to kill me, you must be prepared to die!"

The old man's voice sounded again, full of resentment and unwillingness.

He suddenly thrust the scepter into the ground, and black energy quickly spread out. The entire cave was shrouded in darkness, and a strong smell of death filled the air.

Jiang Qiong felt the temperature around her drop suddenly, as if she was in an ice cellar.

The old man is performing some powerful forbidden technique and he must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, concentrated all his spiritual power, and the sword in his hand emitted an even brighter light.

"Break!" Jiang Qiong shouted angrily, and the sword turned into a flash of lightning, striking directly in the direction of the old man.

The sword light was like a rainbow, as if it could tear apart the darkness and kill all evil things.

A deafening noise was heard in the darkness. The old man was hit by the sword light and took a few steps back, spurting blood from his mouth.

His face became even paler, and his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"You...you actually..." The old man's voice began to tremble, and he was obviously seriously hurt.

He swung his scepter unwillingly, trying to attack again.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity and rushed forward quickly. The long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound, and the sword energy was like a rainbow as he slashed at the old man again.

The sword flashed, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness and striking the old man's chest.

The old man howled in pain as his body was hit by the sword energy. He took a few steps back and more blood spurted out of his mouth.

His face became even paler, and his eyes were filled with despair and fear.

"How is it possible..." The old man's voice became weak, and it was obvious that he had reached the end of his strength.

His body swayed in the darkness, as if he would fall down at any moment.

Jiang Qiong did not give him any chance to breathe. He once again concentrated all his spiritual power, and the sword in his hand emitted an even brighter light.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, as if it could tear apart the darkness and kill all evil things.

"Go to hell!" Jiang Qiong shouted angrily, and the sword turned into a flash of lightning, striking the old man directly.

The sword light was like a rainbow, as if it was going to completely destroy the old man.

A deafening roar was heard in the darkness. The old man was hit by the sword light and took a few steps back, spurting out the last mouthful of blood.

His body staggered in the darkness, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly. The scepter slipped from his hand and the black energy quickly dissipated.

Jiang Qiong felt relieved when she saw the old man lying on the ground.

He took a deep breath, slowly retracted his sword, and the spiritual shield gradually dissipated.

The darkness in the cave gradually receded, and the smell of death in the air dissipated.

Jiang Qiong looked at the old man's body, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"it is finally over."

Jiang Qiong said softly, with a hint of fatigue and relief in her eyes.

Jiang Qiong turned around and left the cave, returning to the ground.

He saw the monks who had turned into monsters falling to the ground one by one, their bodies gradually returning to normal, with confused expressions on their faces.

The villagers in the village also came out of their houses one after another, looking at everything in front of them with confusion on their faces.

It can be injected into the mind along with a large amount of hidden memories.

The villagers roughly understood what had happened. Knowing that their village had been targeted by thieves, they were still frightened and looked at Jiang Qiong with gratitude.

"Everyone, the curse of the Ecstasy Flower has been lifted. You can rest assured." Jiang Qiong swept his eyes over the crowd and announced loudly, his voice echoing in the village.

When the villagers heard this, they all showed excitement on their faces.

They all knelt on the ground to express their gratitude to Jiang Qiong.

"Senior, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we would have died without knowing it!" An elderly villager said excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, senior, you are our savior!" another villager followed suit, his voice full of gratitude.

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, helped the villagers who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a calm tone: "No need to be polite, I just did my duty."

Just then, the village chief walked out from the crowd.

There was a gleam of gratitude in his eyes at this moment.

"Senior, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I really didn't expect that someone would harm us in this secret realm."

"Thank you for helping us save our village and lifting the curse of the Ecstasy Flower. We will never forget your kindness."

The village chief bowed deeply, his voice filled with sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome, village chief. I just did what I should do." Jiang Qiong said modestly.

Jiang Qiong changed his tone and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I still don't know why this thief wants to control the minds of the entire village?"

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Senior. We're not too sure about this either."

The village chief looked embarrassed, then changed his tone, smiled, and said:
"But having said that, we are sorry for the trouble. Although our village is simple, we have prepared some simple food. We hope you will do us a favor and let us show our appreciation."

Jiang Qiong wanted to decline, but seeing the villagers' expectant eyes, she finally nodded and said slowly:

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Upon hearing this, the village chief smiled even brighter and hurriedly called out to everyone, "Come on, go prepare the banquet!"

Soon, the villagers got busy and prepared a lively banquet.

At the banquet, the village chief personally poured wine for Jiang Qiong and said politely: "Senior, this glass of wine is for you. Thank you for saving the lives of our entire village!"

Jiang Qiong raised his glass and drank it with the village chief. The aroma of the wine filled the air and was refreshing.

He put down his glass, and the scene before him made him feel comfortable.

The villagers were busy preparing the banquet. The whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere and everyone had a grateful smile on their face.

Soon, the long table was filled with various spiritual meals.

Jiang Qiong looked around and found that these spiritual meals were not only delicious in color, aroma and taste, but each dish also contained rich spiritual power. They were obviously carefully cooked with precious spiritual ingredients.

The first dish served was "Ganoderma lucidum stewed with snow lotus". This dish is made by stewing Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus. The soup is clear and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.

Jiang Qiong gently scooped a spoonful and it melted in his mouth. The spiritual power flowed quickly in his body, making him feel comfortable.

Then, a dish of "Golden Dragon Fish Sashimi" was served. This dish was made with Golden Dragon Fish from Ling Lake near the village.

The golden arowana is covered in golden light, and its meat is crystal clear when sliced. When dipped in a little special spiritual sauce, it tastes delicious and full of spiritual power.

Afterwards, a dish of "Stir-fried Magic Grass with Fairy Mushrooms" was served. This dish was made with magical grass and fairy mushrooms that grew around the village.

The magical herbs are emerald green, the fairy mushrooms are white and tender like jade, and after frying they are fragrant and full of spiritual power.

Jiang Qiong picked up a piece of fairy mushroom, which was tender in her mouth. The spiritual power spread rapidly in her body, as if all the fatigue in her body was swept away.

"tasty."

Jiang Qiong tasted the spiritual meal slowly. There were still two dishes left, one of which was "Red Flame Green Snake Meat".

This dish uses the meat of the blue-eyed emerald snake, a rare spiritual beast with delicious meat and rich in spiritual power.

Jiang Qiong cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender and juicy. Spiritual power surged in his body, making him feel a hot power flowing through his body.

In addition to meat, the village monks also prepared some vegetarian dishes.

Among them, the "Spiritual Fruit Platter" was served on the table. This platter brought together various rare spiritual fruits, including golden spiritual peaches, emerald green spiritual pears, purple spiritual grapes, etc. Each kind of spiritual fruit exuded an enticing aroma.

Jiang Qiong picked up a spiritual grape and took a light bite. The juice was sweet and the spiritual power quickly spread in his body, making him feel cool.

At the banquet, the villagers greeted Jiang Qiong warmly and kept pouring wine and adding dishes for him.

The village chief even personally picked up some food for Jiang Qiong and said with a big smile on his face, "Senior, these are the specialties of our village. I hope you like them."

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, raised his glass, and drank with the village chief. He felt the sincerity and enthusiasm of the villagers, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

When the banquet was halfway through, the village chief suddenly stood up, raised his glass, and said loudly:
"Fellow villagers, we can gather here today thanks to the help of Senior Jiang."

"Let us all toast to Senior Jiang and thank him for saving our lives!"

The villagers raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers to Senior Jiang!"

Jiang Qiong seemed polite and enjoyed the banquet leisurely.

The banquet continued and the villagers came forward to toast and thank Jiang Qiong for saving their lives.

Jiang Qiong responded one by one, raised his glass and drank with them, with a warm smile on his face all the time.

As night falls, the village is brightly lit and filled with laughter.

After the banquet, the villagers said goodbye to Jiang Qiong one after another, and Jiang Qiong responded one by one.

The village chief walked up to Jiang Qiong, took out a delicate little box from his arms, handed it to Jiang Qiong, and said sincerely:

"Senior, this is a small gift from our village. Please accept it."

Jiang Qiong took the small box, opened it and saw a crystal clear spirit bead inside, emitting rich spiritual power.

Judging from the richness of the spiritual energy, this spiritual bead is of a high grade and must be extremely precious to the village. I couldn't help but feel touched.

"Village chief, this gift is too valuable." Jiang Qiong said, preparing to return the small box to the village chief.

The village chief shook his head and said firmly: "Senior, although this spiritual pearl is precious, compared with your life-saving grace, this is just a small token of our appreciation."

"Please accept it, otherwise we will be uneasy."

Jiang Qiong looked at the village chief's sincere eyes, and finally nodded and accepted the small box.

Late at night, Jiang Qiong returned to the guest room prepared for him in the village and sat cross-legged in silence to practice.

The next morning, Jiang Qiong got up early and went to the village's Sutra Library, ready to look through some ancient books to see how to leave this deep secret realm.

Jiang Qiong walked into the Sutra Library and saw that the walls were filled with bookshelves. Various ancient books were neatly arranged on the shelves. Some of the covers had turned yellow, showing their long history.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the bookshelves, the dust dances gently in the light, and the entire Sutra Library is filled with an ancient and tranquil atmosphere.

Jiang Qiong's eyes swept across the bookshelf and finally stopped on an ancient book titled "Exploring the Secret Realm".

He reached out and took the book, gently opened it, and saw that it contained information about various secret realms, including the entrances, characteristics, dangers, and possible treasures of the secret realms.

Jiang Qiong flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes moving quickly between the words, looking for clues about the deep secrets. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a description, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. The exit of this deep secret realm is actually hidden in a place called 'Phantom Valley'."

"The Heart of the Underworld that the mysterious being mentioned is probably also here."

Jiang Qiong murmured to himself. He continued reading and found that the Fantasy Valley was located in the southeast of the village. It was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round and was full of mystery.

Jiang Qiong put "Exploring the Secret Realm" back to its original place and already had a plan in mind.

He decided to go to the Fantasy Valley again before leaving to see if he could find a way to leave the secret realm.

After leaving the Sutra Library, Jiang Qiong asked the village chief about the exact location of the Fantasy Valley.

Although the village chief knew something about Huanling Valley, because it was always shrouded in mist, villagers rarely went there, so he was not very clear about the situation there. (End of this chapter)
