The scorpion's shell was made of metal, so it was extremely strong. Even Ling Han felt numb in his feet.
The scorpion died, leaving behind a tiny bit of gold essence.
That is a grain of golden sand, but it is much brighter than the sand in the desert. Even if it is thrown into the sand, it will stand out like a chicken, very conspicuous.
Ling Han collected the golden essence and continued to move forward.
He returned to the extremely boring life of fighting monsters. Every day he looked for gold elemental creatures, killed them, and then obtained the essence of gold, working hard to become stronger in the future.
In a flash, ten days passed.
Ling Han's cultivation progressed very quickly, and he encountered another node. After crossing it, he opened nine acupoints again.
Now, the number of acupoints he has opened has reached seventy-two.
In fact, most people break through the secret-seeking realm in the second stage. Those who break through in the first and third stages are a minority, and even fewer can open the hidden cave.
"The progress is a bit slow. In this case, when I refine the Five Elements Creation Pill, I probably haven't cultivated the Secret Seeking Realm to the extreme yet."
In fact, it was not that Ling Han's cultivation was slow, but that he obtained the Five Elements Crystal Elements too quickly. You must know that it would take at least hundreds of years for ordinary people to gather the Five Elements Crystal Elements through their own efforts.
And what about him
It had only been half a year, but he already had three copies of the Five Elements Crystal Elements in his hand. By comparison, his cultivation speed was certainly slower.
This is really a happy trouble.
A few days later, he met a group of people who were also working on the essence of gold. He was eating when these people came up and asked him to hand over the essence of gold. Of course, Ling Han was not polite and looted them all. I also learned a legend from their mouths.
"Deep in the golden desert, there is a temple, which contains a great opportunity."
These people are the essence of professional goldsmithing, because there are always forces who want to refine the Five Elements Fortune Pill for the sake of future generations. In various Five Elements places, it is easy to meet people who collect the essence of the Five Elements.
This time, all the gold essence they produced was sold to the Pang family, and they also had another goal, which was to find the temple, get rid of their low status, and be admired by others.
However, the temple only exists in legends. Some people swear that they have seen it, but many people have never seen it.
And everyone knows that signs of mirages may appear in the desert, and who knows what those people saw.
Among this group of people, there was one person who claimed to have seen the temple. It was also because of his persistence that everyone kept chasing the temple with their dreams, even though they had spent more than thirty years here.
Ling Han only listened tentatively. His first goal was of course the Five Elements Creation Pill, to build his foundation to perfection and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
He spared these people and continued to eat.
But the little Loli was curious and said: "Ling Han, do you think we will find that temple?"
"It's what everyone else says. The credibility of this matter is no more than 10%." Ling Han said.
"Hey, Handsome Guoguo, you are so devoid of optimism." Tang Yun'er shook his head, "You should believe that with this baby here, you will definitely have incredible luck."
Ling Han chuckled: "Just like how many times you hit someone?"
Tang Yuner was immediately embarrassed, and then argued: "Do you know the law of conservation of luck? If you have too much good luck, you will inevitably have some bad luck. Only then can you have good luck again."
"hehe."
…
Somewhere in the desert.
"Your Highness, we have been searching here for dozens of days and have run out of water and food. Should we leave for now and go out to replenish supplies?" an old man in gray asked respectfully.
There were eight of them in total. They all wore cloaks on their heads and looked very mysterious. However, they were eating and drinking, so their faces were still revealed.
There are one young and seven old. The young man looks like he is in his twenties, with a tall figure and bright eyebrows. Although he is just sitting there, he has a breathtaking aura. The seven old men all have different looks, but the young man is the leader, and they all appear to be in awe.
Because this young man is the crown prince of the Qinglong Dynasty, his status is astonishing.
The Qinglong Dynasty is a leader-level force on the surface, but there is still an old sage sitting in charge, so it is able to rule a star field. Its power is astonishing, and such a large force is very careful in choosing its successor.
In order to ensure that the leader must be the best, every member of the royal family can become the crown prince after showing enough talent. However, if his cultivation level cannot keep up or he makes any big mistakes, he will be cut off. The name of the Crown Prince, and he can never become the Crown Prince again.
Therefore, there are almost a hundred crown princes in the Qinglong Dynasty, and their ages vary. There are old crown princes who are thousands of years old, and there are also young people like this young man who are only in their twenties.
His name is Meng Yangcheng. Among the crown princes, he is currently ranked ninety-seventh, which is very low. But considering his age, it can be said that he has a bright future.
"Yes, Your Highness, the temple is just a hearsay. Who knows if it exists or not." Another old man advised, "Your Highness, you are too valuable. It is better for the old slaves to search for it. If we really find the temple, we will inform Your Highness." It’s not too late.”
Meng Yangcheng snorted and said: "What do you know? The temple retreated into the golden desert on its own. It has only been witnessed by a limited number of people for so many years. That's because it itself is active! When you inform me, The day lilies are cold."
The seven old men were all surprised. Could it be that the legend of the temple was true
Meng Yangcheng opened his mouth and did not intend to hold it back. He continued: "Thirty thousand years ago, the Buddhists wanted to preach here. Of course, this dynasty did not allow it. The Buddhists are good at deceiving people. If everyone would If you become their believer, do you still have the surname Meng in this star field?"
"Emperor Taizu dispatched all the masters to fight fiercely with the Buddhas. Although they successfully defeated them, they were not able to eliminate them all. The remaining ones drove the temple into the golden desert."
"The so-called temple is their vehicle across the stars, and it is a powerful magic weapon in itself. But Emperor Taizu is sure that even if the remnants fled into the desert, they will all be seriously injured and will die soon. Gotta be clean.”
"However, it was also because of that battle that Emperor Taizu was severely injured, so he had to pass on the throne and stay in seclusion to heal his injuries."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so passive during the Shadow Moon Dynasty's invasion this time and lost several resource stars!"
Meng Yangcheng said, his face a little gloomy.
The seven old men did not dare to answer, and they were shocked. It turned out that the legend of the temple was not only true, but also involved Emperor Taizu, the old venerable.
And if Ling Han were here, he would be able to deduce something.
For example, why didn't the Qinglong Dynasty send someone to Tianhaixing to take a look at the situation of the formation seal? They were invaded by another dynasty and were in dire straits. How could they have the energy to take care of another cage
