Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 150 Above the Martial Master, the secret method, Kuiniu Power!
The two of them came to the small square where they had comprehended their magical powers. The cave in the middle of the square had been built with many suspended ladders by some warriors, which could be used by people who wanted to go to the third floor to explore.

"This restriction is really annoying. Without it, it wouldn't be so troublesome at this height."

Gu Qiu, who was slowly descending the ladder, frowned and spoke.

Her cultivation level is at the fifth level of Martial Honor, but due to the suppression of the ruins' restrictions, she is unable to fully display her abilities.

"You'll get used to it." Fang Xu said with a smile.

Returning to the ruins and feeling the familiar suppression of the ban, Fang Xu felt as if he had returned to his home ground.

In the ruins, as long as there is no veteran strong man above the seventh level of Martial Honor, he has the confidence to deal with it.

The two came to the square in front of the entrance to the third floor. Gu Qiu looked at the stone pillars around him and said, "It is rumored that Yanshen has seven subordinates. These seven people are called the Seven Luminous Gods."

"Do you know the Seven Stars God?" Gu Qiu looked at Fang Xu and asked.

Fang Xu was slightly stunned: "The sun, the moon and the five stars?"

Gu Qiu nodded and said, "The five stars are the spiritual roots of the sun and the moon, the five internal organs of the heavenly womb, the energy of heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are connected by them for brightness."

“After entering the ruins, I observed carefully.”

"The first layer of the ruins represents the god Chenglan, Chenglan is the year star, and the second layer should be Zangmu, Zangmu is the town star."

"That goblin said that the third layer contains a red-flaming winged snake, which must be the star of Mars, named Haokong Weizhun."

"Wood... Earth... Fire... What is the pattern?"

Gu Qiu stood in front of the entrance and muttered to himself, which made Fang Xu feel a headache.

He has spent a long time in this relic and is also the inheritor of Yanshen, but his understanding of the ruins is obviously not as good as Gu Qiu, who entered the ruins for the first time.

"Senior Sister, do you know a lot about Yanshen?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

Gu Qiu nodded: "I made some preparations when I came here."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Go and see what this ancient great man left behind."

Gu Qiu walked into the entrance of the third floor with Fang Xu in a swagger. Along the way, he was full of curiosity about everything around him.

After passing through a corridor that sloped downward, the two soon arrived at the real third floor.

But the scene before him made Fang Xu stunned!
“This third floor!”

The third floor that appeared before the two was not filled with dense corridors like the first two floors, but an endless Gobi desert!
Seeing this scene, Fang Xu wondered for a moment whether he had returned to the Northern Desolate Province.

its not right!
This is underground, how could there be such a strange sight?

Gu Qiu seemed a little curious and confused about everything in front of her. Looking at the desolate Gobi Desert around her, she frowned and asked, "Formation?"

Muttering to herself, she took a few steps back to the corridor, then walked to Fang Xu again.

After going back and forth several times and not finding anything, my curiosity grew even more.

"As expected of a legendary figure who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, his methods are indeed profound."

"Senior Sister, what you mean is that Yanshen is an existence that has broken through the ultimate realm of martial arts?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

Gu Qiu nodded: "This is what is recorded in ancient books."

"What is the realm above Martial Master?" Fang Xu asked.

Hearing his question, Gu Qiu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because even if I tell you, you won't understand."

"Okay, it's not good to be too curious. You will naturally know these things when you become a core disciple in the future."

"move."

Before figuring out why the third floor was like this, Gu Qiu decided to take Fang Xu to explore it first.

The two walked cautiously on the desolate Gobi Desert. Occasionally, they could see some dilapidated buildings, collapsed stone pillars, huge beams, and some terrifying cracks standing around them.

It seems that there had been human activities in this Gobi Desert before, and it was once prosperous.

"Where to go?" Fang Xu frowned as there were no reference points around him and it was pitch black above his head. He didn't know whether it was the sky or the stone wall in the ruins.

Gu Qiu was at a loss for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she pulled the black squirrel that had been sleeping soundly while hugging her hair off her shoulder.

"Xiao Hei, get to work!"

The little black squirrel rubbed its eyes with its cute little paws, sniffed the ground, and then ran quickly in one direction.

"Follow up quickly!"

Gu Qiu said as he chased after the little black squirrel, with Fang Xu following closely behind.

Led by the black squirrel, the two soon came to a collapsed building.

Squeak!
The little squirrel pointed at the ruins in front of him and gestured. Gu Qiu nodded:

"I know, I know!"

"All those without inscriptions are given to you."

Seeing this, the little squirrel dived into the ruins.

"Should we go in?" Fang Xu asked.

Gu Qiu shook his head: "These boulders are too big, and our cultivation is suppressed by the restrictions. We can't do anything..."

Before she finished her words, Fang Xu directly lifted up a stone pillar in front of him that looked at least a thousand pounds, followed by a larger stone pillar, a stone beam, and a huge stone door...

After a while, he moved away all the huge rocks scattered in front of the building, revealing a dark entrance.

"Let's go."

Behind him, Gu Qiu was stunned!
Her cultivation was suppressed at the martial arts level, and she could only use the strength of her physical body. She could even move a boulder weighing thousands of pounds.

But she was sure that the stone beams at the back and the huge stone door at the end weighed at least ten thousand pounds!

With this kind of weight, even if her cultivation had not been suppressed, she could not guarantee that she could shake it.

"What a monster..."

Gu Qiu muttered to himself but didn't take it too seriously.

She had seen people born with supernatural powers. There was a core disciple on the fairy island who possessed terrifying power.

The two passed through the entrance and quickly entered the interior of the building.

Squeak!
Not long after they walked away, the little squirrel ran to Gu Qiu holding a broken sword in its mouth.

As a result, Gu Qiu took a closer look at the broken sword and saw some simple patterns on it. He happily put the sword into his Qiankun bag.

"Where did you find it? Take me there."

The little squirrel nodded and led Gu Qiu and Fang Xu directly to the corner of the building.

In front of him, there were a large number of dry bones, broken armor and weapons scattered on the ground. Some of the weapons were stuck on some dry bones. It was obvious that this place had experienced some brutal battles.

"He's been dead for a long time..."

Looking at the withered bones, Gu Qiu muttered something, then picked up a long sword on the ground that looked intact, looked at it, and shook his head in disappointment: "There is no inscription."

"Xiao Hei, this is for you." Upon hearing this, the little squirrel grabbed the sword in one bite and swallowed the entire sword quickly with a crunch.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu picked up the little squirrel in astonishment.

"This little thing has such good teeth?"

Squeak!
The little squirrel waved its sharp claws at him a few times, then broke free from Fang Xu's clutches and quickly picked up all the weapons and armor scattered around.

Gu Qiu picked them up one by one and examined them. She kept those with inscriptions and gave those without inscriptions to the little squirrel as snacks.

Fang Xu doesn't care about these weapons.

Perhaps because it was too long ago, most of these weapons have decayed and are not of much value. The reason why Gu Qiu collected some of them was just because they had inscriptions on them.

In a sense, this kind of inscription is a kind of cultivation system of that era, and Gu Qiu seems to like it very much.

After some searching, the two walked through a corridor and soon arrived at another spacious hall.

There are more dry bones and scattered weapons in this hall.

The little squirrel and Gu Qiu were like children who had found beautiful shells on the beach, happily picking and choosing among them.

Fang Xu was observing the murals on the wall out of boredom.

Perhaps because a fierce battle had once taken place here, many of the murals on the walls were severely damaged by swords, spears, and halberds.

He could only roughly see that these murals recorded some daily life, sacrifices, etc. at that time.

Continuing to walk inside, Fang Xu came to a hall with a huge one-legged stone statue.

The statue, which was tens of feet tall, seemed to have had its upper half cut off by a sword, and the cut was shining abnormally.

Looking at the broken upper body of the statue that had fallen to the ground, Fang Xu moved closer and was shocked to discover that the statue was covered with dense lines!
What's this! ?

Fang Xu was about to move closer to take a closer look when he suddenly noticed something flash by behind the upper body of the statue!

next moment!
call out!
A strange snake, which was completely red and as thick as a child's arm, suddenly rushed towards his head!

The strange snake was in mid-air, with its neck like open wings and its sharp fangs flashing coldly. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Fang Xu!
Bang!
Fang Xu reacted quickly and sent his fist, which was glowing red, directly towards the flying monster snake!

The body of the strange snake was blown away by his punch and hit the upper body of the stone statue hard!

Although he didn't use all his strength in this punch, an ordinary martial artist would definitely not be able to withstand it.

But the giant snake took his punch head-on and crashed hard into the stone statue. After landing, it was not hurt at all and rushed up again!
Upon seeing this, Fang Xu's hand flashed with light, and he directly summoned out a strange long stick, and smashed it down at the flying monster snake!
The terrifying force hit the monster snake's head, completely exploding it!
The headless body of the giant snake fell to the ground, blood flowed out, and the floor next to it was corroded instantly with a sizzling sound.

The noise here naturally alarmed Gu Qiu, who was picking up scraps in another hall.

"It's the Red Flame Winged Snake."

Gu Qiu rushed over and spoke as he looked at the headless snake on the ground.

"It's not that difficult to deal with." Fang Xu shook off the blood and said.

Gu Qiu had said before that the Red Flame Winged Snake was extremely poisonous, invulnerable to swords and spears, and very difficult to deal with. But wasn't the one in front of him killed by just one blow of his stick?
"Do you think there is only one red-winged snake around?" Gu Qiu said as he took out a bottle of strange medicine powder from his belt and handed it to Fang Xu, saying, "Sprinkle it on your body quickly."

Fang Xu took the medicine bottle and just opened the stopper when a red flame-winged snake suddenly jumped out from the darkness next to him!
Compared to the previous one, the red glow on this red flame-winged snake appears to be brighter, and its body is slightly longer.

Bang!
Fang Xu dodged the red-flame-winged snake's pounce and knocked it down with a stick!

However, after this red flame-winged snake was knocked to the ground, it actually twisted its body quickly along the ground and rushed towards Fang Xu's feet!
Bang!
Fang Xu swung the long stick in his hand suddenly and smashed its head!
call out!
call out!
……

At this moment, a large number of sounds of breaking air were heard in the surrounding darkness!
"not good!"

"Run away!"

Gu Qiu's pretty face changed, and she quickly snatched the medicine bottle from Fang Xu's hand and threw it over her head, then shouted: "Break the medicine bottle!"

Fang Xu moved upon hearing the sound, and smashed the medicine bottle in mid-air with the long stick in his hand, and a large amount of light yellow medicine powder fell on himself and Gu Qiu.

Squeak!
The little squirrel looked at the medicine powder all over its body and was scratching it with its little paws in annoyance, but Gu Qiu picked it up and ran outside!

Fang Xu waved a long stick behind him, knocking down the attacking red-flame-winged snakes one after another, and followed Gu Qiu to retreat outside.

The two quickly left the building, thinking they were out of danger, but there were still a lot of red-flame-winged snakes chasing them!
"its not right!"

"These powders mixed with realgar should have a very good inhibitory effect on snake beasts."

Seeing this, Gu Qiu was a little puzzled.

"Sister, don't be confused, just kill them quickly!" Fang Xu shouted hurriedly as he saw more and more red-flame-winged snakes around him, some of which were almost as thick as his arms.

Hearing his voice, Gu Qiu threw the little squirrel directly onto his shoulder. There was a flash of light in his hand, and the silver sword appeared!

The two of them stood back to back, trying their best to kill the red flame-winged snakes that kept rushing towards them!
"Senior Sister, the powder just now is the method you mentioned to deal with the Red Flame Winged Snake?"

While killing, Fang Xu asked.

Gu Qiu was a little embarrassed: "The powder I prepared is very effective against snake monsters, but I don't know why these red flame winged snakes are so manic..."

Fang Xu was speechless. He had originally hoped to use Gu Qiu's skills to complete the task easily, but now it seems that there is no hope.

Both of them were quite powerful, but there were too many red-flame-winged snakes around them, especially those that were as thick as Fang Xu's arms. Not only were they extremely fast, but they could even spit out even faster poisonous arrows while flying in the air!
If Fang Xu had not controlled the dragon scale shield in time to resist, the two of them might have been poisoned.

"This can't go on like this!"

"We need to get back inside!"

Gu Qiu spoke.

The two of them are now outside without any support. These red-flame-winged snakes can rush over from all directions, which puts a lot of pressure on them.

"Sister, hold it off for a while. I have a solution!"

Seeing the huge rock that he had lifted up, Fang Xu immediately flew over.

Gu Qiu seemed to know his plan, and immediately helped to fend off the oncoming red-flame-winged snakes, allowing Fang Xu to free up his hands.

boom!
Fang Xu lifted up a huge rock, and then he lifted up the largest stone door underneath and opened it at the entrance.

"Senior sister, come in quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiu immediately rushed in!
A large number of red-flame winged snakes flew over. Fang Xu quickly summoned out the dragon scale shield to resist them, and then tried his best to close the stone door!
Swish!
Swish!
Gu Qiu quickly drew his sword and killed several red flame-winged snakes that rushed in, and the two finally got a chance to catch their breath.

"No! No!"

"I have to see if I've overlooked anything!"

After being temporarily safe, Gu Qiu immediately took out an ancient book from his Qiankun bag, and then took out a night pearl and began to read it.

"found it!"

After a moment, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "I know why these red-flame-winged snakes are so manic."

Fang Xu walked over.

"It's the Snake King. There must be a Snake King among the red-flame-winged snakes here."

"And this snake king is most likely in the molting period now!"

"The molting period of snake beasts is when they are at their weakest, so these red-flame-winged snakes are so manic and want to kill every other species that invades their territory."

"What should we do now?" Fang Xu asked.

Even if they knew the reason for the Red Flame Winged Snakes' frenzy, they had no way to deal with those crazy Red Flame Winged Snakes outside.

"Find the snake king and kill it!" Gu Qiu put away the ancient book in his hand and said, "The snake king of the Red Flame Winged Snake must be a demon. The snake king in the molting period will definitely force all its life essence into the demon pill. Kill it and get its demon pill, then we will be rich!"

Kill the snake king?

Fang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, where can we find the Snake King in this vast area?"

"Besides, we can't get out now."

Gu Qiu smiled slyly and pulled the little squirrel off his shoulder.

Squeak!
Squeak!
The little squirrel seemed to know Gu Qiu's plan. It shook its little head like a rattle and squeaked non-stop.

"Xiao Hei, you are the only one who can help me now."

"If you don't help me, I'll die here, and then you'll become a stray squirrel."

The little squirrel stopped struggling and stared at Gu Qiu with its little eyes, as if thinking about something.

a long time--

Squeak!

The little squirrel called out to Gu Qiu twice.

Gu Qiu didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Deal!"

Seeing that she agreed, the little squirrel reluctantly came to the corpse of a red flame-winged snake killed by Gu Qiu, and swallowed the corpse of the red flame-winged snake with great disgust.

After eating the entire corpse of the red-flame-winged snake, the aura of the little squirrel changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a red-flame-winged snake with the appearance of a squirrel.

Squeak!

The little squirrel squeaked twice at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu looked at Gu Qiu blankly: "What does it mean?"

Gu Qiu said, "It lets you open the stone door."

Fang Xu suddenly realized it and pushed the stone door open a crack, and the little squirrel immediately crawled out.

a long time--

The sound of the red-winged snake outside hitting the stone door gradually weakened, and then all the hitting sounds disappeared.

Gu Qiu smiled and said, "Done!"

"Open the stone door."

Fang Xu pushed the stone door open a crack with doubt. Sure enough, no red-winged snake rushed in. Then he opened the stone door completely.

The densely packed red-winged snakes outside had disappeared, leaving only the little squirrel squatting nearby.

Squeak!
Squeak!
The little squirrel gestured and pointed to the distance in the Gobi Desert.

Gu Qiu nodded and looked at Fang Xu and said, "Xiao Hei said that it deceived the red-flame-winged snakes outside. A group of humans have already found the place where the snake king is. Those red-flame-winged snakes all ran over to protect the snake king."

"We just need to follow the Red Flame Winged Snake to find the Snake King."

"Let's go."

Led by the little squirrel, the two soon arrived at a huge hill.

Hiding behind a huge rock, the two quietly stuck their heads out and looked at the densely packed red-flame-winged snakes surrounding the hill in the distance. Fang Xu immediately stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey!"

"Fang Xu!"

Gu Qiu pulled Fang Xu and whispered, "Where are you going?"

Fang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "There are probably tens of thousands of red-flame-winged snakes around this hill. Is it possible to kill the snake king under the protection of so many red-flame-winged snakes?"

Gu Qiu glanced at the hill again, his eyes flickered a few times, and he said unwillingly:

"Do you know what a demon pill means?"

Fang Xu shook his head. He had never killed a monster before, and he didn't know what a monster pill meant.

"A demon pill is something that can only be condensed in the body of a fierce beast after it transforms into a demon beast. A demon pill contains 99% of the life essence, cultivation, and spiritual power of a demon beast."

"Then what?" Fang Xu said lightly.

"And then! And then the demon pill is the key for a martial master to break through to the Yuanwu realm!"

Gu Qiu was anxious and blurted out this sentence.

Yuanwu...

It turns out that the realm above Martial Master is called Yuanwu Realm.

"Does a Martial Master need a demon pill to break through to the Yuanwu realm?" Fang Xu asked solemnly.

When mentioning the demon pill, he thought of the old ape.

As a monster whose blood and energy are about to be exhausted, if the monster pill is really so magical, he can't help but worry that Jiang Feng will become greedy because of it.

"Of course not, but the demon pill can increase the success rate of Wu Zun breaking through to Yuan Wu."

"Fang Xu, the breakthrough from Martial Master to Yuan Wu is a qualitative transformation, and the failure rate is as high as 90%. No warrior will give up even the slightest chance of increasing the chance of success."

"Is Elder Jiang at the Yuanwu realm?" Fang Xu asked again.

He was only worried about the old ape's safety now and didn't want to bother with Gu Qiu about the demon pill at all.

He didn't know Jiang Feng's strength. If he had already reached the Yuanwu realm, the old ape would be much safer.

If Jiang Feng has not yet reached the Yuanwu realm, he cannot guarantee whether he will be interested in the old ape's demon pill.

Gu Qiu shook his head.

When Fang Xu saw this, his heart sank.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've met Senior Brother Jiang." Gu Qiu said, "Senior brothers from the Immortal Path mentioned that Senior Brother Jiang is a rare genius in the Ascension Association. He reached the peak of the Martial Honor a long time ago."

"Over the years, I should have reached the half-step Yuanwu realm."

Half a step to Yuanwu... that ultimate is not yet Yuanwu, there is no guarantee that he will not be greedy for the old ape's demon pill.

"Senior Sister, I can't accompany you on this adventure." Fang Xu said in a deep voice.

He must complete this mission as soon as possible and return to Huayang Mountain to meet Jiang Feng.

He wanted to make sure the old ape was safe.

"Alright alright!"

Seeing Fang Xu's serious expression, as if he was worried, Gu Qiu suppressed his greed and said, "It will take a long time for the snake king to shed its skin. Let's talk about it later."

Seeing that Gu Qiu had compromised, Fang Xu said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Gu Qiu waved his hand: "Killing the Snake King is indeed too risky. I am only at the fifth level of Wu Zun now, which is too far away from the Yuan Wu realm. There is no need to take risks at this time."

Fang Xu nodded: "Oh, right, there is a statue in the ruins we just entered, and there are dense patterns engraved on the statue."

Gu Qiu likes to collect things with ancient inscriptions. This time she compromised with him again, so Fang Xu decided to compensate her.

"really!?"

Gu Qiu said excitedly.

Fang Xu nodded: "I was attacked by the Red Flame Winged Snake just because I wanted to check the patterns on the stone statue."

"Since those red-flame-winged snakes chose to stay in the ruins, it is very likely that they are trying to protect the statue or other things in the ruins."

"I think we can go back and take a look while these red-flame-winged snakes are protecting the snake king. Who knows, we might gain something."

Gu Qiu nodded excitedly, and immediately ignored the Snake King's affairs and said directly: "Then let's go back quickly."

The two of them carefully moved away from the hill and quickly headed towards the ruins.

In front of the huge stone statue, Gu Qiu looked at the patterns on the statue in front of him, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "So beautiful!"

“This is a complete inscription!”

"Fang Xu, I want to make a copy of this inscription and take it back to study it carefully!"

"It will probably take a few days. If you have nothing to do, you can observe and comprehend it first. Perhaps you will gain something."

After hearing her words, Fang Xu nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged and began to observe the patterns on the stone statue.

The patterns on the stone statue were not unfamiliar to Fang Xu.

The bone stele on the second floor of the ruins, the cliff-carved Heavenly Scripture ruins inside the Ascension Society, and the broken sword in the Divine Weapon Hall all have similar patterns.

After many times of contemplation, Fang Xu had some understanding of this mysterious pattern. After sitting cross-legged, he quickly got the hang of it and entered a state of enlightenment.

In this state, he seemed to be in a vast ancient land, and before him appeared a terrifying giant over a hundred feet tall!
The giant was born with one leg, wearing a tattered animal skin skirt around his waist, with his upper body naked. On his huge head, a pair of curved black horns exuded a terrifying edge, as if they were going to tear the space apart. His whole body was filled with a terrifying aura that made people's souls tremble!
Fang Xu was like a bystander, quietly watching the one-legged giant walking on the vast land. The one-legged giant's strength was terrifying, as if it was the gaze of this vast land, and countless strange beasts fled wherever it passed.

However, the one-legged giant's speed was extremely fast. With his one leg slightly bent, he could jump thousands of feet away with a sudden burst of force. The force of the burst caused deep pits to form on the hard ground beneath his feet!

None of those strange beasts could escape once they were targeted by the one-legged giant.

Fang Xu just watched the one-legged giant practicing, hunting, and wandering aimlessly quietly. He didn't know how much time had passed, until finally, the one-legged giant encountered a red flame-winged snake.

The red-winged snake, whose body was as thick as a bucket, was like an earthworm in front of the one-legged giant.

The one-legged giant grabbed the red-flame-winged snake in his hand and looked at it curiously. No matter how the red-flame-winged snake struggled, it was of no use.

a long time--

I don't know whether the one-legged giant thought the red-flame-winged snake was not tasty, or he thought such a small earthworm was not enough to fill his stomach, so the red-flame-winged snake was thrown out.

The Red Flame Winged Snake that escaped immediately twisted its body and prepared to escape.

However, at this moment, another huge monster appeared and stepped on the Red Flame Winged Snake before it could escape.

The red-winged snake struggled violently, biting the big foot that was stepping on it.

But even though he broke the sharp fangs, he was unable to hurt the giant monster at all.

Just when the Red Flame Winged Snake thought it was going to die, the one-legged giant moved, and with a flying kick, he kicked back the huge monster that was stepping on the Red Flame Winged Snake. Then a fierce fight broke out between the two sides!

The surrounding mountains, forests, and rivers were all destroyed in the fight between the two terrifying monsters.

The Red Flame Winged Snake hid aside trembling and dared not move. No one knew how long the fight between the two lasted, and finally it gradually stopped.

The red-winged snake stuck its head out from the mess and saw the one-legged giant sitting not far from it, devouring the corpse of the behemoth with relish.

Perhaps he heard the noise, the one-legged giant turned his head and looked at the red-flame-winged snake, then tore off a piece of flesh from the behemoth in front of him and threw it over.

The red-flame-winged snake bit the piece of flesh carefully. As the flesh was devoured, its body was also undergoing strange changes...

The picture gradually faded away, Fang Xu slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly a hint of enlightenment came into his mind.

"woke up?"

Gu Qiu's voice came.

Fang Xu hurriedly stood up, looked at Gu Qiu and said, "Senior Sister, how long have I been practicing?"

Gu Qiu counted on his fingers: one, five, ten, fifteen, twenty...

"A month."

"Tell me quickly, what have you realized?" One epiphany lasted for a month. Gu Qiu felt that Fang Xu must have realized something good.

Fang Xu heard this and simply sorted out what he had realized in his mind and said, "Kui Niu Jin, it seems to be a secret method."

Hearing this, Gu Qiu looked at the one-legged stone statue in front of him with some interest and said, "It turns out that this stone statue is a Kui Niu!"

"I was wondering why it felt so familiar."

"But why does the Red Flame Winged Snake want to protect this Kuiniu statue?"

Fang Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps Kuiniu had done a favor to the ancestors of the Red Flame Winged Snake in the past."

At least in the scene he had just seen, Kuiniu chose to let the Red Flame Winged Snake go when he caught it for the first time, and then gave the Red Flame Winged Snake a piece of flesh and blood of a terrifying beast, allowing the Red Flame Winged Snake to evolve.

"Sister, do you want this secret method?" Fang Xu asked.

This time when he came to the third level of the ruins, Gu Qiu was quite nice to him. Now that he had gained something, Fang Xu was not going to be stingy.

"Try it out for me." Gu Qiu said after hesitating for a moment.

Fang Xu nodded and said, "Let's go outside."

The space inside the building was too small to move around, so the two of them went outside.

On the desolate Gobi Desert, an eternal murderous aura suddenly emerged from Fang Xu's body, and the next moment, his body was ejected!

The man was in mid-air when a huge foot appeared. His body suddenly fell down and the strength of his body increased exponentially!

boom!
The moment his body fell, the surrounding Gobi Desert seemed to be hit by a meteorite, forming a huge depression with Fang Xu's landing point as the center!

The terrifying shock wave swept across, blowing away all the rubble on the ground!

Then he jumped suddenly again, and his figure appeared hundreds of feet away!

Bang!
Bang!
After a few jumps, Fang Xu returned to Gu Qiu's side, his face a little pale as he said, "This secret method consumes too much energy and blood."

Gu Qiu said with a gleam in his eyes: "It seems that this secret method is very good."

Fang Xu nodded and said, "It combines attack and burst into one, and can also be used to escape at critical moments."

Gu Qiu nodded.

There are restrictions in the ruins, and in a sense, the power of Kuiniu Jin has been greatly reduced.

If it were used in the outside world, she felt that the power of Kuiniu Jin should be able to be further enhanced.

Judging from the effect Fang Xu just displayed, Kuiniu Jin may not have reached the threshold of "skill", but it is at least a second-grade or first-grade secret technique.

The rarity of secret techniques and skills exceeds that of martial arts. Sometimes, the value of a first-grade secret technique is comparable to that of a supernatural power.

Kuiniu Jin is a comprehensive secret technique that has the functions of attack, burst, and escape, and is extremely valuable.

Gu Qiu really wanted it, but...

"Fang Xu, this secret technique is very valuable. I only have a little over 100,000 contribution points. Look..."

Ok?
After hearing Gu Qiu's words, Fang Xu was stunned for a moment.

He had originally planned to explore the third level of the ruins together with her and share the good things they got with her.

I never thought that Gu Qiu actually planned to give contribution points.

One hundred thousand! ?
A month has passed, and the contribution points he now owes are only about 170,000. With these 100,000, he can find a way to get some more and pay off his debt.

"Why ask for contribution points? Without my sister's protection, I can't concentrate on comprehending this secret technique." Fang Xu said.

You should be polite when you should be polite.

As a core disciple of the Ascension Society, Gu Qiu's status is higher than that of a branch deacon. Building a good relationship with her will be of great use in the future.

"Sister, don't move." When he came in front of Gu Qiu, he immediately stretched out his hand and touched the center of Gu Qiu's eyebrows, passing the secret method of Kuiniu Jin to Gu Qiu.

After receiving the secret method of Kuiniu Jin, Gu Qiu carefully comprehended it and found that this secret method was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

She had a feeling that this secret method had already stepped into the threshold of "art".

"Take out your identity token." Gu Qiu said.

Fang Xu pretended to refuse, but Gu Qiu shook his head seriously and said, "Contribution points are easy for me to get. You have many places in the Yu Kingdom branch where contribution points are used. Don't be polite to me."

After hearing this, Fang Xu handed over his identity token.

Gu Qiu took the token and directly transferred all his contribution points to Fang Xu.

"The total is one hundred and four thousand. This secret technique is worth much more than that. I think I owe you a favor." Gu Qiu said.

"What's the point of talking about favors? As long as it's useful to me, senior sister, that's all." Fang Xu smiled and took back his identity token.

"Fang Xu, I think the secret method of Kui Niu Jin can help us hunt down the Red Flame Winged Snake King. How about..."

It was obvious that Gu Qiu was still thinking about the snake king's inner elixir.

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, looked at the big hole he had just "blasted" using the Kui Niu force, and made an idea in his mind.

If he could use all of his strength to activate the Kuiniu Power and combine it with the three transformations of the Demon Ape, he should be able to kill or send all of the red-flame-winged snakes around the hill flying away.

At that time, as long as we kill the snake king quickly and use the Kui Niu power to escape before the red flame-winged snakes come back, the chances of success should be very high.

"Okay, let's try it."

The Snake King's inner elixir is related to the success or failure of breaking through the Yuanwu realm. If I help Gu Qiu get this inner elixir, it will be a huge favor.

The two of them made slight adjustments and headed straight towards the hill where the Red Flame Winged Snake was.

When approaching the hill, Fang Xu estimated the distance and said to Gu Qiu: "I will directly shake off the surrounding red-flame winged snakes later. Senior sister, hurry up and kill them."

"There are many powerful ones among these red-flame winged snakes. Senior sister, we must hurry up and leave here before the red-flame winged snakes surround us again."

Gu Qiu nodded.

Fang Xu slowly adjusted his state, and the shadow of a bloody demon ape slowly emerged behind him!
However, due to the existence of the restriction, the blood-colored demon ape's shadow was immediately pressed back into Fang Xu's body after it appeared.

In this situation, although the power of the Demon Ape's Third Transformation cannot be fully exerted, it still has at least 50% of its power.

After the Demon Ape's third transformation emerged, a vast murderous aura suddenly appeared on Fang Xu's body. His body shot out directly and arrived on top of the hill in the blink of an eye!

A terrifying pressure came from above, and countless red-flame-winged snakes below raised their heads, opened their mouths wide towards Fang Xu in the sky, revealing their sharp fangs!

Fang Xu's figure fell rapidly. Due to the fast speed, his whole body was wrapped in a terrifying red light, like a burning meteor!
boom!
The figure fell to the ground!

The terrifying force crushed all the red-flame-winged snakes within a thirty-foot radius into meat paste, while the red-flame-winged snakes farther away were blown away by the shock wave!
At this moment, Gu Qiu's figure flashed, and he rushed directly past the scattered red-flame-winged snakes and rushed into the hill from a low cave entrance.

Inside the hill, Gu Qiu patted the little black squirrel on his shoulder and said, "Xiao Hei, get to work!"

The little squirrel jumped out and moved through the winding corridor at a very fast speed.

Soon he brought Gu Qiu to the Snake King.

Holding a silver sword, Gu Qiu was about to attack, but suddenly found that the Red Flame Winged Snake King in front of him was on his deathbed.

Next to it, three snake eggs the size of millstones were wrapped in the newly shed snake skin.

"Human, I know what you want."

"I can give you my demon pill, but please don't hurt my child."

The Red Flame Winged Snake King's cold eyes revealed a rare hint of tenderness when he looked at the three snake eggs.

Gu Qiu was stunned for a moment, looked at the three snake eggs, and shook his head and said, "Even if I don't do anything, your three children will not survive."

The king of the Red Flame Winged Snake was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly and with difficulty crawled to the snake eggs to check them out.

"How...how could this happen?"

It perceived that the vitality in the three snake eggs was slowly fading, and it was obvious that it would not be long before its three children would die.

"Snake King, I have a way to save one of your children, but I want to take it away. You can see for yourself." Gu Qiu said.

After hearing this, the Red Flame Winged Snake had a complicated expression.

a long time--

"Human, I promise you."

"I hope you take good care of my child."

Gu Qiu nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Seeing Gu Qiu's sincere attitude, the Snake King looked at the three snake eggs reluctantly, and then his whole body suddenly burst out with terrifying power!

The next moment, a purple ball of light like a pearl was spit out.

"Human, please."

The demon pill was spit out, and the snake king's life came to an end in an instant.

Gu Qiu put away the demon pill, looked at the three snake eggs in front of him, selected the one with stronger vitality as the main body, and immediately used a secret method to transfer the life force of the other two snake eggs to that snake egg, and then left the cave holding the snake egg and the snake skin shed by the snake king.

"Fang Xu, let's go!"

Leaving the cave, Gu Qiu shouted.

Fang Xu immediately grabbed her arm, and the power of Kui Niu burst out instantly. He jumped hundreds of feet away, and then with another jump, he disappeared in the distance.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, Gu Qiu took out the snake king's demon pill, the snake king's shed skin and the snake egg.

"In fact, the corpse of the great demon is also very valuable."

"But a mother voluntarily gave up her demon pill for her child. I... I can't bear to tear out the tendons and skin its corpse..."

Gu Qiu spoke.

Fang Xu nodded, thinking that he might do the same if he were in her shoes.

The king of the red-winged snake may have killed countless people in his life, but at least because of his motherly love, people would not have the heart to destroy its corpse.

"I shamelessly took the snake eggs and demon pills, and I'll give you this snake skin." Gu Qiu said, "Before the snake king died, his cultivation was equivalent to the peak of martial honor. If this snake skin is used properly, it can be made into several sets of top-quality inner armor."

Fang Xu nodded and put the snake skin into the Qiankun bag.

He had originally intended to help Gu Qiu obtain the Snake King Demon Pill. He was currently only at the first level of martial artist, and it would take a long time for him to break through to the Yuanwu realm.

It's pretty good to exchange it for a favor.

"Sister, since the demon pill can increase the chance of breaking through the Yuanwu realm, why are warriors in the Yuanwu realm still so rare?"

Looking at Gu Qiu playing with the demon pill in his hand, Fang Xu asked curiously.

There are monsters deep in the Tilan Mountain, and there may be quite a few of them.

Judging from this, those warriors who have reached the peak of Martial Honor will not miss the opportunity to obtain the demon pill.

"Do you think that demon pills are so easy to obtain?" Gu Qiu put away the demon pill and said seriously, "After the fierce beast becomes intelligent and becomes a demon, it takes nearly ten years to condense a demon pill."

"At this time, the demon beasts are generally at the ninth level of Martial Honor, or the peak of Martial Honor. Their strength is stronger than that of ordinary humans at the peak of Martial Honor."

"And the demon beasts are intelligent. If they encounter a life-or-death crisis, they will immediately detonate their demon cores and perish together with the enemy."

"So, if you want to obtain a complete demon pill, both luck and strength are indispensable."

"Fang Xu, I owe you a big favor for being able to obtain this demon pill this time."

This time she came to the Tilan Mountain ruins, and for some inexplicable reason she lost a substitute doll on the way.

I thought I had suffered a loss on this trip, but I never expected that I would gain a secret technique comparable to supernatural powers and a complete demon pill when I arrived at the ruins.

The value of these two things combined far exceeds the value of his substitute doll, and Gu Qiu is very happy.

"Fang Xu, your mission this time is to find the entrance to the fourth floor?"

Gu Qiu had gained a lot from this trip, and he did not forget Fang Xu's mission.

"Yes."

Fang Xu answered while simply sketching the route the two of them were traveling.

"Then let's go look for it. I also plan to check out the fourth floor."

The two continued on their way.

On the vast Gobi Desert, Gu Qiu calculated the direction as he walked.

"Wood...earth...fire..."

"The next level should be gold or water..."

"Gold of the Five Elements corresponds to the west, water of the Five Elements corresponds to the north, earth is in the center, and the next level..."

"Fang Xu, we should go this way."

After the calculation, Gu Qiu slightly adjusted the direction of travel, and the two soon arrived at a huge cliff.

"Senior sister, there is no way out."

Looking at the cliff in front of him that stretched across the entire Gobi Desert, Fang Xu said helplessly.

"No, this direction must be correct." Gu Qiu was convinced that she had made no mistake. She leaned over to look at the cliff below and said, "Perhaps the entrance to the fourth floor is right below."

under?

Fang Xu looked down and saw that the cliff was bottomless and there were restrictions on it, so it would be difficult for them to get down.

"Leave it to me." Gu Qiu smiled and took off the small bamboo basket from his waist, opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and two black beetles flew out of it.

"Go check out the situation down there."

Gu Qiu waved his hand and said something to the two black beetles.

Two pitch-black beetles immediately flapped their wings and flew down the cliff.

a long time--

Two black beetles flew up from below again.

They flew in front of Gu Qiu for a while, then rested on her shoulders and flapped their wings. Only then did Gu Qiu open the small bamboo basket and let them in.

"The entrance to the fourth floor is just below." Gu Qiu said to Fang Xu with a smile.

Fang Xu was very surprised.

Fortunately, he chose to go with Gu Qiu this time, otherwise he would never have thought that the entrance to the fourth floor would be hidden under a cliff a thousand meters deep.

"Do you want to go down and confirm?" Fang Xu asked.

Gu Qiu shook his head: "There is absolutely no mistake in this matter."

"This cliff is too high and we are not prepared. Why don't we go back first?"

Fang Xu nodded slightly. This time the mission was to find a route leading to the fourth floor. Now that the entrance had been found, there was really no need to go down.

The two returned along the same route, and after coming out of the third floor, they found some warriors who were preparing to enter the third floor.

"Have you two found the entrance to the fourth floor?" Seeing Fang Xu and Gu Qiu, the leading warrior said, "If you have found it, we are willing to buy it."

Gu Qiu waved his hand: "I didn't realize it, and I was almost killed by the red flame winged snake."

"I'd like to advise you all that the Red Flame Winged Snake will be very aggressive these days, so it's better not to enter the third floor for now."

The king of the Red Flame Winged Snakes is dead. The Red Flame Winged Snakes on the third level will definitely take crazy revenge on the warriors who enter the third level during this period of time.

After giving a few people some advice, the two hurried back to the second floor.

"Senior Sister, can I take the human-goddess tribe out?" Fang Xu suddenly asked.

Gu Qiu shook his head: "Man-man likes shade. Before we find a suitable habitat, you will have nowhere to put them if you take them out."

"There are no treasures on the second floor of the ruins. As long as the Mandrills don't actively attack warriors, I believe no one is willing to conflict with them."

Fang Xu shook his head when he heard this: "Those guys from the Yanshen Cult have been capturing human goblins for some evil experiments."

Yanshen Religion?
Gu Qiu's expression flashed a strange look, and then he said: "How much do you know about Yanshen Sect?"

"Not much." Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "I knew that they seemed to care about the inheritance of Yanshen very much, and have been trying to use some kind of ritual to crack the secret of Yanshen's inheritance."

"I heard from the elders of Broken Horn that the Yanshen Cult is a group of traitors."

Gu Qiu looked strange and didn't say anything.

a long time--

"Those guys are really too much."

"Okay, let's go."

The two did not go looking for the Man-Ximion tribe anymore, but left the ruins directly along the corridor.

A small courtyard in Fenglin Town.

When Fang Xu returned here, a group of warriors were stealthily surrounding the courtyard.

"What do they want to do?" Gu Qiu asked curiously.

Fang Xu sneered: "Of course they want to see if the person living in the courtyard is the one they are looking for."

Gu Qiu's expression slightly changed, and he immediately turned around and looked at the warriors and said calmly: "I am a core disciple of the Shengxian Association. Go back and tell the people behind you that anyone who trespasses into this small courtyard is an enemy of our Shengxian Association!"

Since Fang Xu was not in a position to show up, she naturally took care of the matter.

She could see that Fang Xu cared a lot about this courtyard, and he wouldn't come here often in the future, so she decided to help him.

The core disciple of Shengxian Society! ?
Hearing this, the warriors around showed horror on their faces.

Facing Gu Qiu's gaze, these people hurriedly fled from here.

"Should we go back now or stay another night?" Gu Qiu asked as he saw that it was already sunset.

Fang Xu looked at everything in the courtyard, then smiled and said, "Let's go now."

I have to leave after staying one more night. I can't stay here anymore.

"Sister, please wait a moment. I'm going to say goodbye." Fang Xu said as he came to Wang's house.

At this time, Wang had just returned from the blood food shop. Seeing Fang Xu coming, she asked with surprise on her face, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"I'll go to town to buy some wine and food so I can drink with you in the evening?"

Fang Xu shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Wang's body stiffened, with a hint of resentment on her face: "Leaving now?"

Fang Xu nodded.

"Can't you stay one night?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Wang sighed a little disappointedly: "Let's go."

"Maple Forest Town is too small, and we can't keep you here anymore."

After saying this, she walked towards the room with a somewhat sad look on her face.

"Sister-in-law..."

Wang paused.

"I will come back." Fang Xu said.

Wang turned her head and said nothing.

Fang Xu glanced at her, then turned around and left the courtyard.

"They all say that time has no limit to cultivation. If one day, you come back, I will have become old and ugly... Alas!" Wang murmured, her eyes full of resentment.

On the official road outside Fenglin Town, two cloud-stepping horses were rushing towards Zhongzhou at a rapid speed.

"Will you return to the immortal path after you go back, Senior Sister?"

Gu Qiu shook his head: "No hurry, you have completed two promotion tasks, right?"

"I'll go find the Affairs Office and arrange the third mission for you later."

"It just so happens that I need someone to help me with the next thing I do."

Hearing this, Fang Xu frowned slightly. He felt that what Gu Qiu was going to do next would not be easy.
