Chapter 210: First Exploration of the Secret Vault
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is not only a time for murder and arson, but also a time for sneaking and stealing.
On the night when he returned to Five Elements Sect, Xiao Mian couldn't wait to rush to a small valley on the west side of Jinxiao Peak.
According to the information Guitou got from the soul of Master Yuanyuan, Master Yuanyuan had transferred most of the artifacts in the Jinxiaofeng secret warehouse to this small valley. He was afraid that if something happened to him, Lu Chengzhi would still be able to rely on him. These artifacts are making a comeback.
But now that Lu Chengzhi was kicked out of the Five Elements Sect and became a guest of the Demonic Shadow Sect, Xiao Mian naturally took care of the artifacts that were brought out from the Jinxiaofeng secret warehouse.
According to Xiao Mian's knowledge, each of the Five Elements Sect's five meridians has its own merits.
Most of the secret vaults in the Flame Pillar Peak Secret Vault of the Fire Vein are consumables such as fire thunder beads and talismans; the Bibo Pond Secret Vault of the Water Vein contains mostly defensive magic weapons; and the Secret Vault of the Wood Vein Changchun Peak mostly contains elixirs. ; Most of the secret vaults in the Golden Vein and Jinxiao Peak contain offensive magic weapons, and most of them are flying swords; as for the Tu Vein Thick Tuping Secret Vault, it is the highest level secret vault in the sect, and the items in it cover a wide range of things. I’m afraid There are all kinds of utensils, and the quality is definitely not comparable to the other four veins.
Xiao Mian didn't care about ordinary flying swords. After all, even the top-level flying swords, which were of high quality, might not be as good as his Xuanfeng sword.
However, Xiao Mian learned from the memory of Master Yuanyuan that there was originally a group of "Exquisite Golden Silk" with a grade of up to seventh level hidden in the Jinxiaofeng Secret Treasury. It was accidentally obtained by the senior sages of the Jinxiaofeng line, but they could not find it. It was not used until the right weapon refiner was found.
If nothing else happens, it is expected that this thing has been stolen by Master Yuanyuan and placed in a small valley.
The exquisite gold wire itself is not as sharp as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold. Its physical properties are very special. Its greatest use is to blend various spiritual materials into one. It is an excellent fusion agent when refining flying swords.
The reason why Xiao Mian wanted to get this exquisite gold wire was naturally to prepare for his unborn flying sword.
A few days ago, Xiao Mianjing obtained the Heavenly Meteor Fire Spirit Crystal that was separated from the ghost head. Because it was involved in the relationship between the Milky Way Star Sand, its grade dropped, and it was called the Heavenly Meteorite Star Crystal by Xiao Mian. If it is added with the exquisite gold wire, His new flying sword is halfway there.
Of course, even if it wasn't for this exquisite golden thread, Xiao Mian still planned to explore this unknown valley. Maybe there was a treasure that Master Yuanyuan missed!
Even after searching through the entire valley, Xiao Mian couldn't find the entrance to the phantom array in Master Yuanyuan's memory - Master Yuan Yuan had transferred the treasures from the Jinxiao Peak secret vault here, so it was natural that there would be no arrangements. Yuan Zhenren's soul was not complete, and after being devoured by the ghost head, it became even more incomplete, so that Xiao Mian only knew that there was a phantom formation covering the small valley, but he did not find the entrance or flaw of the phantom formation.
"Old Ghost, have you discovered anything?"
Since Guitou claims to be the master of the formation, Xiao Mian, who has found nothing, will naturally not ignore its existence.
The ghost head emerged from Xiao Mian's body, shaking his head and stretching, then twitching his nose and looking around.
On a dark moon night, Xiao Gu is like a dark realm, but it has no effect on Guitou, who uses his soul to perceive.
After pondering for a moment, the ghost leader led Xiao Mian to a huge stone and signaled Xiao Mian to smash it into pieces.
This was naturally not difficult for Xiao Mian. After the boulder collapsed, a formation disk was revealed. Just when Xiao Mian was happy, Guitou said: "Don't be too happy too soon!"
"What? Isn't this a magic array?"
"No! The phantom array arranged in this small valley is quite clever. It is conservatively estimated that it is not below the fifth level. Even my soul thought cannot see the flaw in a short time. However, it is precisely because of the need to strive for perfection that the range of the phantom array Covering the entire valley, if you want to operate such a large phantom array for a long time, you must have a spirit gathering array to provide energy for the phantom array!" With that said, Guitou pointed to the array disk in Xiao Mian's hand and explained: " This is the spirit gathering array, and there is more than one, there are nine in total in the valley!"
After that, under Guitou's guidance one by one, Xiao Mian took out all the other eight spirit gathering array disks and put them into the storage bag.
The quality of these nine spirit gathering arrays is not low, and they may be of some use in the future.
They are arranged in the small valley in a uniform manner, providing spiritual power for the phantom formation covering the entire small valley. After clearing the nine spirit gathering formations, Xiao Mian quietly exited the valley, left this place, and returned to Bibo Pond.
According to Guitou's instructions, taking away the nine spirit gathering arrays will not immediately affect the phantom array in the valley. Rather than waiting foolishly, it is better to leave.
Seven days later, on a moonlit night with no wind, Xiao Mian returned to Xiaogu.
As soon as they entered the small valley, the ghost head suddenly rushed out of Xiao Mian's body, floating around in the small valley, and then came to a huge ancient tree and stopped motionless.
"Is the entrance to the magic array right here?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. You might as well feel it yourself."
Xiao Mian calmed down after hearing this, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air. Sure enough, he felt that traces of spiritual energy were emanating from the ancient tree.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Guitou, Xiao Mian dug out a nine-sided square disk from the root of the ancient tree. As soon as the formation disk was opened, there was a fluctuation in the small valley. Although the scene did not change drastically, there were many changes in details, especially the That ancient tree had a dark hole in its thick trunk, like a giant mouth of a monster that preys on people.
"It turns out it's underground!"
After sighing with emotion at Master Yuanyuan's good intentions, Xiao Mian flew into the tree hole. As expected, it went straight to the ground. He flew down a thousand feet before Xiao Mian finally found his feet on the ground.
As soon as Xiao Mian's feet set foot on the ground, two rows of flames suddenly burst out in the cave that was originally as dark as night, swaying in the wind like will-o'-the-wisps. Looking around through the two rows of flames, the top of the head is the tree hole where Xiao Mian came down. There is not much open space next to it. There is only a trail winding between the two rows of flames, leading to an unknown distance.
I thought it should be a natural cave to come here, but it was taken advantage of by Master Yuanyuan.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Mian slowly walked forward under the flickering flames.
Xiao Mian was not very fast at first, but as time went by, he unconsciously began to fly with his sword. He flew for an hour and traveled no less than a thousand miles.
Xiao Mian was secretly stunned. After careful calculation, he had already left the Five Elements Mountain area, but he had not yet seen the so-called treasure cave of Master Yuanyuan.
Just when Xiao Mian was about to pause, the flames in front suddenly stopped, which shocked Xiao Mian and rushed forward.
At the end of the flames, there was another piece of flat land, and above the open space was still a black hole that went straight up and down, which was obviously used to connect to the ground. On the wall of the cave at the end, there was a broken portal painted on the stone wall.
When Xiao Mian saw this, he knew he had found the place.
In the memory of Master Yuanyuan, this portal painted on the stone wall is extremely clear. This is the last portal to enter the treasure cave.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian converted the true energy in his body into metallic spiritual energy. Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall, continuously transmitting the metallic spiritual energy in his body. As time went by, the broken portal lines painted on the stone wall It became clearer and clearer, and the portal on the stone wall became more and more complete. When a golden portal with a height of ten feet appeared on the stone wall, Xiao Mian only had less than 30% of the true energy left in his body.
Apart from being shocked, Xiao Mian was also quite impressed by Master Yuanyuan's good intentions.
You must know that Master Yuanyuan himself has the spiritual roots of fire and wood, but he has set the door of the treasure cave here so that non-metallic spiritual energy cannot open it. Especially, it can be seen that this treasure cave is clearly reserved for Lu Chengzhi. If not Xiao Mian's Sanqing Guiyuan Ti can reverse the five elements and develop metallic spiritual energy. I am afraid that only by asking the Yuan Ying ancestors like Dan Qiusheng to come forward can he forcefully open the door and enter the treasure cave through violent means.
At this time, Xiao Mian naturally did not have this worry. Seeing the golden light shining on his husband's golden gate gradually fading, Xiao Mian knew that time was running out, so he walked into the stone wall without caring about adjusting his breath.
The stone wall that was originally as hard as iron sent out a ripple-like ripple when Xiao Mian stepped forward, wrapping it around Xiao Mian and swallowing it up.
