Refers to the mountain.
The entrance to the mine.
A large group of strong men in helmets and armor stood outside the cave entrance. Each of them had a hand floating in front of him, being pulled by a life rope. They were obviously people with supernatural powers.
The manager, who had been subjected to Chen Lin's magic before, was trembling with fear and lowered his head as he listened to the scolding from the middle-aged man in front of him.
"My ancestor sent a message that the Qianli Bell placed deep in the mine has lost its sensitivity. What happened?"
The middle-aged man's voice was cold.
This purple spirit sand mine is the main source of income for the Lan family, and absolutely no problems can occur.
"I don't know. I have been guarding here all the time, and I haven't found anything unusual."
When the steward heard this, even the family ancestor was alarmed and he hurriedly spoke up to explain.
The middle-aged man stared at the manager's face, and seeing that he did not seem to be lying, he did not continue to embarrass him.
"If there is anything unusual, you will know after you go in and take a look. But if something really happens inside, no one can protect you!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man waved his hand and walked into the mine with his men.
…
When Chen Lin heard what Princess Qinghua said, he couldn't help but show joy.
"What treasure can you bring out?"
Princess Qinghua shook her head.
"No, I can't get close to it, but that thing is emitting a strange wave, and the light is flowing. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary thing!"
"oh?"
Chen Lin was puzzled, and then said: "What is it? Tell me the details."
"It looks like a flower..."
Princess Qinghua was halfway through her words when Chen Lin immediately raised his hand to stop her from speaking, then concentrated his attention.
Immediately, a muffled sound was heard, and the surrounding dug mines all shook slightly.
He couldn't help but frown.
Someone was attacking the formation he had set up.
This situation surprised Chen Lin. He had been careful enough, but he still got discovered unexpectedly.
However, judging from the fluctuations of the formation, the opponent should not be able to break it for a while.
Thinking of this, he said to Princess Qinghua, "You stay here, I'll go in and take a look!"
After saying that, he took out nine spirit puppets that could form the Nine Yuan Immortal-Destroying Formation and gave them to Princess Qinghua for use.
Princess Qinghua was very surprised to see the puppet, but she did not ask any questions. She was now completely devoted to Chen Lin and felt that whatever Chen Lin did was right.
After giving the order to the spirit puppet, Chen Lin broke through the node and entered it.
I just felt like I had passed through an invisible barrier and landed in a huge stone cave with traces of human excavation.
In the middle of the cave, there is a black stick-like object, about four feet long, smooth, long and straight.
At the top of the 'stick', there is a spherical object, snow-white like a ball of fur.
At this time, the fur ball was emitting bursts of fluorescent light, flickering, as if an eyeball was blinking.
With such a scene, it’s no wonder that Princess Qinghua said there was a treasure.
Chen Lin looked around again. In the four directions of the stone cave, there was a stone pillar that ran through from top to bottom. Mysterious patterns were engraved on it. Each stone pillar emitted different energy. These energies were intertwined together, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Chen Lin understood that it was this mixed energy that prevented the Image-Retaining Bead from working effectively.
Moreover, these four stone pillars should be the things that maintain the operation of the formation.
This made him a little disappointed. He originally thought that the center of the formation would be a magical treasure, but he didn't expect it to be something like a spirit-sealing pillar.
His gaze returned to the black stick.
I walked around it but couldn't figure out what it was. It looked like a flower, but I had never seen such a strange flower before.
However, he discovered that there was a subtle bulge on the ground next to the bottom of the black stick. It did not look like normal ground, as if something was hidden there.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin took out a puppet and controlled it to move forward.
There's no telling when those people outside will break the isolation formation, so we can't delay too long.
The puppet moved forward slowly, but when it was about five feet away from the black stick, it seemed as if there was an invisible object blocking it, preventing it from moving forward.
He frowned and asked the puppet to change its position to test again.
But the result is the same.
As long as you get within five feet of the black stick, you will be blocked. It seems to be a protective shield formed by a formation.
Seeing that there was no danger, Chen Lin walked up to it and touched it with his hand.
Sure enough, it was the fluctuation of the formation.
He hesitated for a moment, and circulated his magic power to test the strength of the shield.
But before he could exert any strength, his palm went straight through as soon as he released a little bit of his magic power.
Chen Lin was stunned and quickly retracted his hand.
Then he let the puppet try again, but still couldn't get in, and he himself was still blocked outside without using any magic power.
So that's how it is!
Chen Lin understood that this shield had an identification function. Only people who could use magic power could pass through it, not even puppets.
Such targeted settings are undoubtedly waiting for the monks to come.
This made him even more suspicious that it was left by that mysterious powerful man.
After thinking about it, he tried to practice the technique again and put his hand in, then his arm and shoulder.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the black stick did not react abnormally, he took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, it got stuck!
Only half of the body went in, and the other half seemed to be pulled by something and could not go in.
Chen Lin was surprised at first, then he retreated outside as if he was thinking of something, and released Xiao Cao.
"Wait for me here, don't come near."
After giving the instructions, he tried again, and this time he easily passed through the shield and came close to the black stick.
Chen Lin couldn't help but marvel at it.
This screening method is so powerful that even people placed in space bags can be sensed.
However, there was no problem with the puppet in the storage bag, which meant that it was only to prevent people other than monks from coming in, and the main target should be the people from this world.
He tried it and found that the puppet could also be taken out, which once again proved his guess.
Seeing that Black Stick still had no reaction, Chen Lin felt relieved and began to observe closely.
After looking for a while, he came to the bulge he had seen before, took out an ordinary flying sword and poked it tentatively, then he was stunned.
A storage bag was poked out!
After careful examination, it was indeed a storage bag, not the space bag here.
He continued to poke other suspicious places suspiciously, but found no other objects, nor any skeleton remains.
In this case, it means that this storage bag is not a relic of an outside explorer, but was left by the person who set up the formation.
Chen Lin pondered for a moment, controlled the puppet to pick up the storage bag, and then tried it. It was easily opened.
The puppet shook the opening of the storage bag downwards, and three items immediately poured out.
A jade slip, a talisman, and a small flying knife.
After taking a quick look with his spiritual sense and making sure there was no problem, Chen Lin walked forward and picked up the items one by one to examine them.
The first is the flying knife.
Because he felt a faint aura of spiritual treasure contained in this flying knife, but when he tried to activate it, he failed.
He frowned in confusion and tried a few more times, but there was still no response, so he put it aside and looked at the talisman.
But after looking at it for a while, he still couldn't figure out what it meant. He didn't dare to activate it rashly, but continued to examine the jade slip.
After taking a look, I found that it was just an ordinary jade slip used to record information.
Despite this, Chen Lin still activated the original power of his second soul and carefully examined the jade slip. After making sure there was no problem, he began to read the information inside.
a long time.
Chen Lin put the jade slip down and looked strange.
The things here were indeed left by that mysterious powerful man.
According to the records in the jade slip, the other party is called Qiu Daoxuan, from the Qiu family in the Stardust Realm of the Tianxuan Domain, and is a cultivator in the Lianxu realm.
Because the opponent was fighting a powerful enemy, he used a space treasure to escape, but unexpectedly encountered the turbulence of the void and then fell here.
It took a hundred years to find a way to leave.
The jade slip also introduced that the black stick-shaped object in front of him was a rare treasure from heaven and earth. It was useless to ordinary cultivators, but it was of great use to the other party. However, when the other party discovered it, the object was not yet mature, and the other party could not wait, so he used a formation to seal off this place.
The purpose of leaving the jade slip behind is to allow other cultivators to discover this place, take the treasure out and send it to the Qiu family.
The talisman is an advanced boundary-breaking talisman. As long as you take this talisman to the location left by the other party, you can break through the space node and leave this world.
The flying knife is a magical treasure, which can be regarded as a reward for giving the black stick to the opponent. However, this magical treasure is sealed and can only be unlocked by the opponent's unique method, otherwise it cannot be used.
This is to prevent people from coming here just to take benefits without doing anything.
In addition, the jade slip also promised that as long as the treasure was delivered, there would be another generous reward.
Chen Lin looked at the talisman and flying knife again and put them into his storage bag.
Then he fell into deep thought.
He had heard of the name Qiu family in Tianxuan Domain. Qiu Daoli, the owner of the Rainbow Fan, was from this family. The two prison guards had mentioned this before. Moreover, the surname Qiu was very rare. Qiu Daoxuan and Qiu Daoli were obviously from the same family.
A powerful person in the realm of refining emptiness is at a higher level than that of transforming into a god. This family must be extremely powerful. Although the flying knife is a spiritual treasure and very tempting, he does not want to deal with such a powerful person as the uncertainty is too high.
If the other party is a cold-hearted person, not only will you not get any reward, you may also lose your life.
So forget about the treasure, I got a high-level boundary-breaking talisman that can allow me to leave this place. This trip to Zhishan was not in vain. Moreover, thousands of years have passed, and even if he is a powerful Void Refining Master, it is not certain whether Qiu Daoxuan is still alive.
Thinking of this, he put away his thoughts and shifted his attention to the black stick.
There wasn't much description of this treasure in the jade slip, but judging from the fact that the other party used a spiritual treasure as bait, it must be something extraordinary.
Then, he used the method recorded in the jade slip to dig up the black stick with its roots and put it into a large jade box. He also placed some spirit crystals and thousand-year-old spirit milk at the roots and put them into the storage bag.
After finishing, he inspected the stone cave, broke the node to let the puppet out first, and he followed out.
