Mortal Bones

Time went back a moment.

In the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven.

"The spiritual energy is really abundant."

In front of a dilapidated palace ruin, Xu Taiping looked around vigilantly while silently feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven.

Just now, he and another group of sect disciples were sucked into the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven together.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on the square of the palace ruins.

Then he was ordered by Yuqing Jushi to wait here. He had to hear his order before he could leave and enter the depths of the secret realm.

Xu Taiping looked around and found that there were 20 to 30 people who were teleported here.

"There were at least a hundred or so people who were sucked into the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven together before, but there are only more than 20 here, which means that more than a hundred people were teleported to other places."

While thinking about this secretly, his eyes fell on the dilapidated palace behind him.

Although this palace is dilapidated, there are more traces of human destruction, and the traces of erosion over the years are not very serious. It should be protected by a protective formation.

In the center of the hall, there is a headless statue. The body of the statue is human-shaped, but a snake tail is sticking out from under the hem.

It is obvious that the deity enshrined here is a demon god.

At this moment, a beam of sunlight shines through the broken dome, making the statue look particularly strange.

Xu Taiping inexplicably feels a chill on his body, and instinctively retracts his gaze to the broken plaque in the hall.

This plaque has been cut in half, and two strange characters can be vaguely seen on the remaining half.

If he had not communicated with Fairy Lingyue in advance, he would definitely not recognize that the two characters written on the plaque are "Fengqi".

"This should be the Fengqi Hall mentioned by Sister Lingyue, right?"

Xu Taiping was secretly happy.

According to Fairy Lingyue's understanding of this secret realm, when entering the secret realm for the first time, you will be randomly teleported to the five outermost halls of the secret realm.

One of them is this Fengqi Hall.

The reason why he was secretly happy was that this Fengqi Palace was the most convenient route among the five routes he had planned in advance.

It just happened to connect the spiritual medicine and spiritual stones he needed, as well as the tunnel at the bottom of Yuhu Mountain and the entrance to the lower level of the secret realm, without having to take a special detour.

"If everything goes well, it will take at most three days to collect everything I'm looking for, and maybe I can catch up with the Yuhu Seizing the Cauldron."

With this thought, he turned his head and looked east.

As his eyes passed through the shade of the trees and the distant mountains, looking forward, a towering snow mountain shaped like an overturned gourd appeared in his sight - "Yuhu Mountain."

That was the Yuhu Peak that was transformed from the artifact in the hands of the great cultivator of the human race during the battle between immortals and demons a million years ago.

And this Yuhu Mountain is also the center of the entire secret realm.

The five outermost halls were built with it as the center of the circle.

However, Xu Taiping's main purpose of this trip was not to win the championship, but to collect the necessary materials in the secret realm. Of course, he would go to Yuhu Mountain, after all, he promised San San Lay Shi that he would cut down a few plum trees for him and try out the sword.

But he would not rush to the top as quickly as other disciples.

"It has nothing to do with me if you fight for the top. This time, I will take it as a long retreat and give myself a few days to relax."

Xu Taiping stretched and thought to himself.

In the past three years, his daily time was almost filled with practice, and he had no time to think about other things.

"Walk one hundred and thirty miles north from Fengqi Palace to Xingluo Lake. A kind of clam pearl called blue silver pearl grows at the bottom of this lake, but be careful of the catfish spirit at the bottom of the lake."

After waiting for a long time without receiving the order from Yuqing Lay Shi, Xu Taiping began to practice the next steps in his mind, while looking forward aimlessly.

"Where did this country boy come from? His eyes are dirty."

At this moment, a man's stern shout pulled Xu Taiping back from his deep thoughts.

After waking up, his sight just fell on a petite and pretty girl.

Beside the girl, there stood a burly boy.

And the boy was staring at Xu Taiping with anger.

Xu Taiping immediately realized that the boy must have misunderstood him, so he said with some apology:

"I was distracted just now, no offense."

Then he moved his eyes to the side.

"He is obviously a lecher. Do you know that we are..."

"Brother, stop talking!"

The boy wanted to scold Xu Taiping, but was interrupted by the girl next to him.

"Sister, he is so rude, why can't I say anything?"

The boy looked indignant.

"He is not looking at me, you think too much."

The girl blushed.

Xu Taiping pretended not to hear the argument between the two, and continued to use this opportunity to deduce the plan before coming here.

"Hey, kid."

Just when Xu Taiping was deducing the key point, a young man with a look of arrogance suddenly walked in front of him, greeted him, and stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder.

And Xu Taiping almost instinctively turned his body to the side, just avoiding the hand of the young man patting his shoulder.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Taiping frowned and glanced at the young man.

If he hadn't just restrained his instinct to draw his sword, I'm afraid that the young man's hand would have been chopped off by him.

After three years of practicing swordsmanship with Daogui, he is now instinctively alert to things that are close to him.

Hearing this, the young man who clapped his hands in vain immediately had a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Boy, do you know who you are talking to?"

"This is the young master of Wuchen Island, Murong Song, Master Murong."

"Which sect are you from?"

At this time, several young men behind the young man surrounded Xu Taiping and questioned him one after another.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Taiping asked again helplessly.

He just wanted to get what he wanted in this secret realm as soon as possible. You are the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and you have nothing to do with me?

"I am Murong Song. It is fate that we meet. If you are willing to join us and help me seize the tripod at Yuhu Peak, Wuchen Island will definitely give you a thank-you gift afterwards."

Murong Song said with a smile.
