Han Changming let out a long sigh of relief, his legs went limp, and he sat down in the sand pit.
He had a close call with death this time. If he had not subdued the stone man, he would not have been a match for the opponent.
He has the fragments of a magic weapon, but with his cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, it will take some time to activate the fragments. Wei Yuan and Lin Wan'er obviously won't give him that time.
Han Changming's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. This was the most dangerous experience in his life. Wei Yuan and Lin Wan'er were worthy of being disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. It was the first time that Han Changming encountered such a difficult opponent.
In order to kill the powerful enemy, the Ice and Fire Python died.
After a while, Han Changming felt much better and stood up.
There are a total of nine corpses, thirteen storage bags, and six spirit beast bags.
He threw a few fireballs, burned the bodies, and walked towards a cave not far away.
Not long after, Han Changming appeared in the cave, the stone man crawled out from the ground, and the Amethyst Flying Scorpion and Thunder Rhinoceros Insect were also there.
Amethyst Flying Scorpio was seriously injured, but fortunately his life is not in danger.
Han Changming put them into the spirit beast bag, poured out all the contents of the thirteen storage bags, and counted them carefully.
There are more than 80,000 spirit stones, 45 magic tools, most of which are second-level low-grade magic tools, four sets of second-level formations, 245 spiritual medicines, most of which are hundred-year-old spiritual medicines, two fruit-bearing spiritual fruit trees, more than 20 three-hundred-year-old spiritual medicines, and the highest is just a four-hundred-year-old Qingxin grass.
Qingxin grass is the main ingredient in refining detoxification pills. The older it is, the better the efficacy.
In Wei Yuan's storage bag, Han Changming found a green jade box with three light yellow insect eggs in it. There were some black spots on the surface of the eggs. The green jade box was covered with a silver talisman. It must be that the eggs that Wei Yuan attached so much importance to were not ordinary insect eggs.
He checked the jade slips in Wei Yuan's storage bag one by one, and saw the content he wanted in a green jade slip.
Xuyuan Bug, ranked ninth on the list of strange bugs in the world, is an auxiliary spiritual bug. It has a trace of the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix and possesses spatial magical powers. A third-level Xuyuan Bug can tear open a piece of space? It is good at hiding.
Han Changming's breathing became rapid? The Xuyuan insect possessed spatial magical powers? The bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix
He was completely shocked. You know, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was only ranked 52nd, but it had such great magical powers. The ninth-ranked Void Yuan Worm could tear open a piece of space? It was beyond his imagination.
To put it bluntly, the value of the Xuyuan worm far exceeds that of other things.
The eggs haven't hatched yet? Maybe they've been contaminated or stored for too long.
Han Changming has the Taiyi Hualing Gourd in his hand? He is not worried about this problem? As for the Chongxuyuan worm ranking ninth? Han Changming will hatch the Xuyuan worm no matter what.
In addition to these things, there are also a lot of miscellaneous materials? Jade slips of martial arts techniques, etc.? Too many? Han Changming was too lazy to check them. It would not be too late to check them after leaving the Suzaku Secret Realm.
Some magical weapons had unique marks on them, which would cause trouble if they were left on the person, so Han Changming destroyed them directly and put the materials away according to their categories.
Han Changming sat down cross-legged, took out a medium-grade Qi-replenishing pill and swallowed it. The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed through his body.
He was injured, but not seriously.
A day passed quickly. Han Changming opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air. After a night of recuperation, he felt much better.
Han Changming stood up, stretched, and walked out, followed by the stone man.
He suddenly sensed something and flipped his palm. An egg-sized green round bead appeared in his hand, with spiritual patterns all over its surface.
He cast a spell, and the green round bead emitted a dazzling green light and flew away into the distance.
Han Changming put away the stone man, the flying boots on his feet glowed brightly, and he followed.
Half an hour later, a deafening roar came from a canyon ahead. Han Changming was startled and made a pinch of magic. The green round bead flew back and he stopped.
There are steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon, with a lot of gray-white stones scattered on the ground and only a few small grasses.
A miserable roar of an animal was heard, and a giant yellow bear about ten feet tall rushed out of the canyon. Its body was covered with scars, and there was a two-foot long bloodstain on its chest, with faint traces of bones. Its right arm was hanging down, as if it had been broken by a hard object.
Before it ran far, a sound of breaking air that pierced its eardrums was heard, and a golden axe shadow over ten feet long fell from the sky and struck the giant yellow bear.
With a scream, the giant yellow bear was split in half by the golden axe shadow and fell to the ground.
Han Debiao walked out of the canyon, his face full of fighting spirit and a huge golden axe in his hand.
"Changming, are you okay?"
Han Debiao was a little surprised when he saw Han Changming.
Han Changming smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, Uncle Wu, where's Fairy Mu? Isn't she with you?"
"After we got the spiritual water, we wanted to join you, but we encountered a third-level monster on the way. Fairy Mu and I fled separately, and I don't know where she is. Changming, I discovered a big secret. The Suzaku Secret Realm may have the inheritance of Suzaku Zhenren."
Han Debiao's face was full of excitement when he finished speaking.
"What? The inheritance of Master Suzaku, you are kidding!"
Han Changming's face was full of shock. The legend of Zhuque Zhenren was widely spread in the Golden Dragon Sea. Zhuque Zhenren had been famous in the East China Sea for thousands of years. However, Zhuque Zhenren had been missing for thousands of years, and no one knew his whereabouts. Han Debiao suddenly said that the Zhuque Secret Realm might have the inheritance of Zhuque Zhenren, and Han Changming was extremely shocked.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to talk slowly."
Han Debiao picked up the body of the yellow giant bear and walked towards a cave not far away with Han Changming.
The cave was a bit dry and dark, but the monster had been killed by Han Debiao.
Han Debiao took out a piece of green animal skin that was ten feet long and wide. On it was a topographic map. There was a place marked with a golden mark, which seemed to represent something.
"Didn't we kill Master Jinlong's disciple grandson with Fairy Mu before? I found a topographic map in a storage bag. This map is the map of the Suzaku Secret Realm. We are in this location, not far from the marked place. There must be something special here. Let's go there!"
Han Debiao pointed to the topographic map and said excitedly.
It is rumored that Master Jinlong has entered the Suzaku Secret Realm, so it is not surprising that his disciple has a map of the Suzaku Secret Realm.
"The guy we killed was quite powerful. He had the map of the Suzaku Secret Realm, as well as a third-level talisman and a third-level escape talisman. He must be no ordinary person. In addition to him, Master Jinlong may have sent other people into the Suzaku Secret Realm. Let's go and take a look. If there is a chance, we can make some money. If not, that's fine too."
Han Changming thought for a moment and said this.
Master Jinlong sent elite disciples into the Suzaku Secret Realm, and brought with them a map of the terrain. It was obvious that he had some plans. Something that could attract even a Nascent Soul cultivator must be something extraordinary. A magical treasure? A panacea
True Man Suzaku was famous throughout the East China Sea back then. If the Han family could really inherit his legacy, their development would be much smoother.
In addition to the cave, Han Changming and Han Debiao's bodies flashed with yellow light and then they disappeared into the ground.
Wrapped in a ball of yellow light, they moved forward quickly.
Considering the existence of third-level monsters, they moved forward underground. There were third-level monsters in the Suzaku Secret Realm, but there were not many of them.
······
On a high peak covered with weeds, Li Jiaojiao and six other foundation-building monks stood at the foot of the mountain. Li Jiaojiao held a piece of light green animal skin in her hand, on which was a topographic map.
Master Jinlong sent twenty foundation-building monks into the secret realm, but so far, Li Jiaojiao has only gathered five of them. The whereabouts of the others are unknown.
"Senior Brother Jin hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid he's in trouble. He hasn't arrived after entering the secret realm for so long."
Li Jiaojiao frowned and said that Master Jinlong once entered the Suzaku Secret Realm and obtained many treasures, but Master Jinlong discovered a restriction, and due to various reasons, he did not have time to break the restriction.
Master Jinlong suspected that True Man Zhuque had passed away in the Zhuque Secret Realm. This time, he sent two of his valued disciples into the Zhuque Secret Realm to obtain the treasure.
"Senior Sister Li, I think we should stop waiting and take action on our own! We don't know when the secret realm will be closed, so we should make a quick decision to avoid any more trouble."
A pretty girl in a yellow skirt urged, they had all heard that the space in the Suzaku Secret Realm was becoming increasingly unstable, and this might be the last time it would be opened.
Li Jiaojiao frowned. She had thought about this problem, but in order to break the ban, she needed the Suzaku Order.
In order to open the Suzaku Secret Realm, various major forces joined forces to refine some Suzaku Orders as the key to open the Suzaku Secret Realm. However, with the passage of time, the Suzaku Orders have not been of much use. However, Master Jinlong discovered that in order to break the ban, Suzaku Orders are needed, and the number cannot be too small.
The last time, it was because the number of Suzaku Orders was too small that the restriction could not be opened, causing the space of the Suzaku Secret Realm to become unstable. According to Master Jinlong's speculation, when the restriction is broken, the Suzaku Secret Realm will also collapse.
She and Jinlong each carried three Vermillion Bird Tokens, a total of six Vermillion Bird Tokens. Only by gathering the six Vermillion Bird Tokens could the restriction be opened. Otherwise, even using the talisman might not be able to open the restriction.
As for why the Vermillion Bird Order could open the restriction, Li Jiaojiao had no idea, but that was what Master Jinlong said.
"Who is it? Hiding there stealthily!"
Li Jiaojiao frowned, let out a low shout, her eyes turned cold, and she shrugged her right shoulder. A flying sword with a shining blue light flew out, and the sound of the sword became louder. A large amount of blue sword energy swept out and hit a corner.
The other five foundation-building monks either used magical weapons or cast spells to attack a corner.
A large amount of dense sword energy shot out and met it.
Boom!
A series of explosions sounded, and waves of air rolled.
Four foundation-building cultivators crawled out from underground, led by Ye Tonghua, and behind him were three disciples from the Five Immortal Sect.
"Ye Tonghua, it's you!"
Li Jiaojiao frowned slightly and stared at Ye Tonghua with fear in her eyes.
Even though they have more people, if a fight really breaks out, they may not be a match for Ye Tonghua and his four companions.
The Five Immortals Sect is one of the ten major sects in the East China Sea, with a profound heritage. Even if it comes to competing in heritage, Golden Dragon Island cannot compare to the Five Immortals Sect.
"Fairy Li, what a coincidence! Are you in any trouble? Do you need our help?"
Ye Tonghua narrowed his eyes and said enthusiastically.
"We haven't encountered any trouble, so don't worry about us, Brother Daoist Ye. Just go and do your thing!"
Li Jiaojiao's tone was indifferent. She had a bad feeling that Jin Hu might have died at the hands of Ye Tonghua. Ye Tonghua found this place based on the topographic map.
In fact, Ye Tonghua had no idea at all. He accidentally discovered that the monks from Jinlong Island gathered here, as if they were waiting for someone.
Generally speaking, cultivators who enter the secret realm will reunite with their companions, but the secret realm is too large, and gathering three or four companions is enough to hunt for treasure. It is very strange that Li Jiaojiao and the other six did not go treasure hunting, but instead stayed in one place.
There must be something wrong. Ye Tonghua felt that there was something wrong, so he stayed.
"Really? Why do I feel like something's wrong with you guys?"
Ye Tonghua looked at Li Jiaojiao meaningfully with a smile on his face.
A hint of anger flashed in Li Jiaojiao's eyes. She was sure that Jin Hu died at the hands of Ye Tonghua, and she had no way of denying it.
Without a topographic map, it would be impossible to find this place. It would be too much of a coincidence to say that we just passed by here.
"Hmph, since you already know everything, there's nothing more to say. Let's work together to open the ban! Sixty percent of the things and fourty percent of the things."
Li Jiaojiao pondered for a moment and said that she was not very sure about killing Ye Tonghua, so she might as well cooperate with Ye Tonghua.
She had never thought about revenge for Jin Hu. After all, Ye Tonghua was an elite disciple of the Five Immortals Sect. She was not very sure that she could kill Ye Tonghua. Instead of fighting to the death with Ye Tonghua for Jin Hu, it would be better to join forces to break the ban and seize the treasure.
"Okay, 64 is 64, but I don't know how to break the ban."
Ye Tonghua was stunned at first, then agreed readily.
He didn't know the purpose of Li Jiaojiao and others gathering here, he just lied casually, but he didn't expect to reveal a restriction. Could it be that there is an ancient cultivator's cave here
Li Jiaojiao saw the change in his expression and realized that she had been deceived. She had something to hide and was being tricked by Ye Tonghua.
Either turn against Ye Tonghua and fight to the death, or continue to pretend to be confused.
"If you want to take the treasure, you can't do it without the Suzaku Order. You have to take out three Suzaku Orders."
"Suzaku Order!"
Ye Tonghua frowned. He didn't know what breaking the ban had to do with the Suzaku Order, but judging from Li Jiaojiao's tone, she didn't sound like she was lying.
"Who is it? Come out."
The girl in the yellow skirt behind Li Jiaojiao suddenly shouted and swung the yellow whip in her hand hard towards the ground somewhere.
With a dull "snap" sound, the yellow whip hit the ground, leaving a groove more than ten feet long on the ground.
More than a dozen magical weapons with shining light hit the ground, with continuous roaring sounds.
Two somewhat embarrassed figures emerged from the ground. They were Han Changming and Han Debiao.
As soon as they approached here, they were discovered by other Foundation Establishment Monks. They did not expect that there were nine Foundation Establishment Monks gathered here.
Han Changming and Han Debiao took the shape-changing pill and changed their appearance, so Ye Tonghua did not recognize them.
"Two more people have come to join in the fun. Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Li Jiaojiao's gaze fell on Han Changming and Han Debiao, with a look of doubt and uncertainty.
