The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 158 Xue and Xiao's secret room

After returning home, everything relaxed. It was not as thrilling as the outside world, and he could calm down and practice to improve himself.

However, Xue Yi was no longer satisfied with the ordinary practice mode of sitting in meditation.

He needed the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array!

The Earth Demon Bear gave so many Five Elements Spirit Stones, it was really a waste to just leave them there.

But he couldn't set up the array directly in the eldest lady's bedroom, because the formation needed to change the ground environment, and the wooden floor was not suitable for such transformation.

So he thought about it and simply did it himself, digging a secret room under the eldest lady's room.

Digging an underground secret room is a big project for ordinary people. Three or five people working together will take two or three days.

But Xue Yi is a cultivator, he is very strong, and he has the blessing of true qi, so it is much easier to do it.

He found an ordinary iron shovel, removed a few wooden boards on the side room, then protected the shovel with the white tiger true qi, and began to dig frantically.

There was no need to dump the excavated soil and stones. They were directly stored in his huge internal cave, and he would clean them up slowly when he had time.

He first dug downwards to a depth of more than ten meters, and then dug it into the shape of a room.

Originally, he only wanted to dig one room, just enough for cultivation.

But after Xiao Qingruo came down to see it, she felt that she could dig one more room for her cultivation.

So... Xue Yi dug four secret rooms in one go.

Two were quiet rooms for the two of them to practice, and the third was used to store sundries.

There was also one... with a bed.

Well, I don't have any ideas, I just want to lie down and rest when I'm tired of practicing!

Xue Yi did all the digging, flooring, wall plastering, ventilation, and support himself.

He didn't rush the work, he did a little bit every day, and occasionally went out to buy building materials to meet the needs. It took him seven days to finish it.

After the secret room was completed, he also bought a lot of things to decorate the room, and decorated the lounge with the bed very warmly.

Then on the first night after the completion of the secret room, he forced the young lady to live with him underground for a night.

That night, the two of them talked about the topic of the previous life in this "isolated" place.

For example, what job did they do in the past, where were they from, what they liked to eat, what music they liked to listen to, and what movies they watched.

As they chatted, they also played a popular game in that world - escape room.

At first, Xue Yi escaped first, and the young lady took off her clothes.

After playing for a while, it was the other way around, and it was the young lady's turn to escape in a panic.

But she failed to escape. Every time she ran to the door of the room, the steps, or the exit of the secret room, she would be dragged back and cruelly "killed" by Xue Yi, who played the devil.

The next morning, Xiao Qingruo said with a stern face that she would never play games with him again, and even wanted to block the secret room and not go in again.

Unfortunately, there was no response from Xue Yi, and it was purely talking to himself.

...

October.

In the new month, the weather has entered autumn and started to get cooler.

Xue Yi arranged a formation for himself in the underground secret room.

The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation in "Emperor's Five Spirits" is a formulaic formation method. A circular formation is carved on the ground, with a person sitting in the middle and spirit stones of different attributes inlaid in the five surrounding areas.

The quality of the formation depends on the quality and quantity of the spirit stones.

At least five spirit stones, one in each of the five sides, can increase the gathering speed by about 20%, and continue to gather spirits for five to seven days

Up to 120 spirit stones can be embedded, 24 of each attribute, and the gathering speed can be increased by 500%, and it can continue to operate for thirty to forty days.

There is no doubt that if conditions permit, the more spirit stones embedded, the higher the benefits.

The Earth Demon Bear gave Xue Yi a large number of spirit stones. After returning, he carefully counted them. There were nearly 13,000 of each type, and the total number exceeded 60,000.

And for each attribute, there are dozens of top-grade spirit stones, which are far more valuable than ordinary spirit stones.

The value of ordinary spirit stones is about the quality of fourth-level spiritual medicine, while the best spirit stones are comparable to sixth-level spiritual medicine. They are priceless treasures in themselves. In the hands of alchemists, they can be used directly to refine pills, or embedded in weapons to increase their power. Even if they are directly broken and eaten, they can assist in cultivation.

Xue Yi was reluctant to use these 300 pieces of top-quality spirit stones and collected them as treasures.

The five-element spirit gathering array directly used the highest configuration, greatly increasing the speed of spirit gathering to assist in his own cultivation.

He was not stingy with Xiao Qingruo.

There are similar spirit gathering arrays in the prestige system, and the effect is not much inferior.

The main attribute of Xiao Qingruo's "Ten Thousand Tribulations Dao Body" is thunder and lightning, and the power of the five elements cannot be directly absorbed and needs to be converted.

So her spirit gathering array is also more complicated, named "Heavenly Thunder and Earth Element Array". The spiritual power of the five-element spirit stones needs to be converted through the array before she can absorb it for cultivation.

When Xue Yi arranged the array, Xiao Qingruo had already taken the God of Creation.

Because she had opened her imperial body first, she had a higher tolerance. After swallowing 60% of the Fortune Divine Spring in three times, her strength easily reached the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm, and there was still a surplus.

After the two spirit gathering arrays were completed, Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo began to practice with concentration.

With the remaining medicinal power of the Fortune Divine Spring, Xiao Qingruo completed the first time to snatch life from the sky and reached the first level of the Longevity Realm in a short time.

This speed of catching up made Xue Yi panic. He was really afraid that she would become stronger than him in a few days and would pin him to the ground and spank him.

However, after Xiao Qingruo reached the realm of immortality, the growth rate of her strength slowed down significantly.

After taking two precious treasures in a month, she could not take precious spiritual medicines in a short period of time.

There were still ten spiritual medicines stored in Xue Yi's cave, six of which were for improving skills. They could be used in two months to improve strength again.

In the near future, it all depends on myself.

Time passed day by day, and the days spent at home were very peaceful and comfortable.

Unknowingly, it was mid-October. Under the dual acceleration effect of the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array and the Emperor's Five Spirits, Xue Yi accumulated enough true energy and life essence, and once again snatched life from the sky, reaching the fifth level of the realm of immortality.

Xiao Qingruo also reached the second level of the realm of immortality with the last bit of the aftereffect of the Creation Divine Spring, getting closer and closer to the false image she created.

In late October, Xue Yi began to go out frequently, almost every day.

Xiao Qingruo didn't know what he was doing, but she could guess that his ultimate goal was to prepare a birthday present for herself.

So she looked forward to it every day, waiting for the arrival of November.

Time passed day by day.

Gradually, October was over.

The Shengwei Mansion was very quiet, not busy because of the arrival of the eldest lady's birthday.

Because...

In this world, women's birthdays cannot be told to others casually, so the outside world does not know the specific date of Xiao Qingruo's birthday and cannot congratulate her on time.

Xu Conglong consulted Xiao Qingruo's opinion and decided to postpone it for a month and wait until December.

So when her birthday came, the invitation was just sent out.

The Shengwei Mansion intended to hold a family banquet to celebrate Xiao Qingruo, but she directly refused and said she didn't care about it.

Compared with the congratulatory words and gifts of those people in the mansion, she wanted to know more about what the dog thing would give her on that day.

Don't let it be something indecent...
