Chapter 274: An unexpected coincidence
When Xiao Mian opened his eyes again, what he saw was a quiet and peaceful world.
The sky is blue, the breeze is white, the ground is dark yellow, and the black soil is vast; there are mountains in the distance, and there are mountains and mountains; there is water nearby, winding and twisting; eagles strike in the sky, and fish fly in the shallows. It is clearly a paradise that is worthy of the name. , Xiao Mian was stunned.
Although Xiao Mian had been mentally prepared before, the sight he saw now was still beyond his expectation. After all, he had entered the Lingchuan several times. Compared with the interior of the Lingchuan, it was a bit dull and lifeless. Man-made space, this cave inside the Golden City can be regarded as another miraculous work of nature.
At this moment, Dan Qiusheng walked slowly in front of Xiao Mian. Without saying a word, he just glanced at Xiao Mian and walked forward. Xiao Mian naturally followed suit.
Not long after walking, the two of them came to a magnificent palace one after another. Looking up, Xiao Mian saw a plaque hanging directly above the palace, but Xiao Mian couldn't read clearly what was written on the plaque even if he had enough eyesight. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking Xiao Mian's sight, making it impossible for him to look directly.
"Don't be rude!" After calmly stopping Xiao Mian's behavior, Dan Qiu Sheng straightened his clothes, then bowed towards the empty golden palace, and then said respectfully: "Junior, the Thirty-Sixth of the Five Elements Sect Headmaster Dan Qiusheng, pay your respects to senior!"
Dan Qiusheng's words became more and more grand and clear in the silent space, and Xiao Mian was even more shocked.
You must know that Dan Qiusheng has now ascended the throne of the leader of the Five Elements Sect. Although there are some seniors in the Five Elements Sect who are higher than Dan Qiusheng, their cultivation is low, and Dan Qiusheng treats them with great courtesy. But not in awe.
In addition, Dan Qiusheng himself has advanced to the Yuanying level, and even famous ancestors such as Shusheng and Qingqiuzi who are in the middle level of the Yuanying dare not underestimate him too much. In terms of identity, status, and cultivation, Dan Qiusheng can be said to have already Standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world in Nanyue State.
So who is it that can bear such a great gift from Dan Qiusheng?
Is it possible that there is a senior master of the Five Elements Sect hidden in this cave-heaven magic weapon?
The next moment, Dan Qiusheng secretly transmitted the message and cleared Xiao Mian's suspicion.
"Don't be rude, kid! Although the Cave Heaven Magic Treasure here is only a top-level magic weapon, a group of spiritual objects has been bred inside it. If it can successfully survive the thunder tribulation, it can become a weapon spirit comparable to the Nascent Soul cultivator. At that time, this cave-heaven magic weapon can be successfully upgraded to a spiritual treasure and become the number one treasure of my Five Elements Sect!"
Xiao Mian didn't react to Dan Qiusheng's words for a long time.
The top-level cave-heaven magic weapon?
Giving birth to spiritual objects?
A weapon spirit comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator?
The first treasure of the Five Elements Sect?
Overcome the tribulation and become a spiritual treasure?
Xiao Mian never thought that the spiritual treasure that only appeared in legends would one day interact with him - even though the Golden City had not yet become a spiritual treasure.
However, before Xiao Mian could come to his senses, after Dan Qiusheng saluted loudly, the originally empty golden palace gate flashed with brilliance, as if in response to Dan Qiusheng.
The golden light flickered several times, and finally disappeared into nothingness. A golden vortex appeared at the gate of the Golden Palace.
It turns out that this is the real entrance to the Golden Palace!
"If someone had just forced his way into the Golden Palace gate without waiting for the ignorant weapon spirit to respond, even the Yuanying Ancestor would have suffered a lot!" He signaled Xiao Mian to follow him into the golden vortex, and he was in a good mood. Dan Qiusheng explained in a low voice: "The originally opened door was just an illusion. It was an illusory formation connected to the entire mountain-protecting formation. If you enter rashly, you will be fighting against the entire formation!"
Xiao Mian was horrified when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Not long after, the two of them arrived inside the Golden Palace.
The Golden Palace looks splendid on the outside, but is extremely simple and even a little shabby on the inside. The entire hall is a square space with a length and width of a hundred feet each, and a height of ten feet.
Thousands of various utensils are piled randomly in the open space of the main hall. Some are piled up like a mountain, with no edge visible; some are scattered in twos and threes; some are even thrown on the ground alone, as if they were thrown into the ground. The rags abandoned by people; of course, the most numerous ones are small piles of classified spiritual materials, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and the like.
Looking at the main hall that looked like a vegetable market, Xiao Mian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Today's Xiao Mian is no longer the young boy he once was. He has seen the secret vault of the Zhenzong Hall in Lingchuanfang City and the treasure cave of Master Yuanyuan. He naturally knows the quality of everything in this hall. I'm afraid they won't be any worse than the things stored in the first two.
But you know, which utensil should you choose?
Because according to the agreement between Xiao Mian and Dan Qiusheng that night, if Xiao Mian defeated Lu Chengzhi, he could and could only take away one artifact from the hall!
"Haha..., indeed!"
Luxu chuckled. Dan Qiusheng seemed to be in a good mood since entering the Golden City. Seeing Xiao Mian's expression of not knowing where to start, Dan Qiusheng was even more in a good mood.
"The sect records that the things hidden in this golden palace are all the blessings left by the predecessors of the Five Elements Sect in the past ten thousand years. However, in addition to the large amount of cultivation resources sorted and classified by the sect, the really good things are actually hidden in the palace. Among the scattered objects. But in this golden palace, even my consciousness cannot be released. Xiao Mian, whether you can find suitable objects depends entirely on your own vision and luck! "
snort!
This old fox clearly knew what was going on in the Golden Palace!
Although he was angry, what Dan Qiusheng said was not bad. Xiao Mian calculated silently that it had been some time since he and Dan Qiusheng had entered the Golden City. They couldn't ask a dignified mid-level Nascent Soul scholar to wait all night, right?
Under Dan Qiusheng's playful gaze, Xiao Mian had no choice but to bite the bullet and start looking for something suitable for him in the vast sea of clutter - but because of Dan Qiusheng's presence, Guitou never dared to act rashly. , otherwise, wouldn’t it be a success if the old guy just scans it with his eyes?
Fortunately, Dan Qiusheng also mentioned that the truly high-quality artifacts were kept in pieces, which greatly narrowed the scope of Xiao Mian's curiosity.
The third level Tu Lingxiao;
Fourth level ice crystal cold jade;
Level 5 Fiery Fire and Thunder Beads;
…
During the search, Xiao Mian found that every artifact in the hall was well preserved regardless of grade. According to Dan Qiusheng, many of the artifacts were as old as ten thousand years. It must be that extremely clever inscriptions were engraved in the hall. Because of the spirit-sealing magic circle.
After a cursory glance, Xiao Mian came to a conclusion that made him laugh or cry: the highest grade of all the artifacts he knew was only fifth grade. Although it was not many, it was not many; but according to Xiao Mian's understanding of the Five Elements Although the fifth-level spiritual objects are not bad, they can never be the most precious artifacts in the Five Elements Sect; in other words, the real treasures are still among those things that Xiao Mian does not recognize.
After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Mian felt somewhat powerless.
At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
That thought appeared directly in Xiao Mian's soul. At first, Xiao Mian thought it was Guitou who had finally sent him some message. However, after experiencing it carefully, he found that the thought was not sent by Guitou. It came from Xiao Mian's own heart, but Xiao Mian didn't realize it.
Under suspicion, Xiao Mian discovered that the focus of his thoughts turned out to be a broken needle at his feet - the broken needle was dark and inconspicuous. Although Xiao Mian had seen it a long time ago, he had never gone to it. I think about it in my heart, but I don’t want to think about it in my mind.
Is it possible that this severed needle is still some kind of heavenly and earthly treasure?
With this thought in mind, Xiao Mian bent down and picked up the severed needle. He held it in his hand and examined it carefully, but found nothing in the end - this broken needle was extremely ordinary!
Just a second thought, how can there be ordinary things in the Golden City, the highest-level secret storehouse among the three major sects of Nanyue State and the Five Elements Sect of the Ten Thousand Years Sect?
Although Dan Qiusheng once said that even as the ancestor of Yuanying, he could not release his spiritual consciousness in the Golden Palace, Xiao Mian still could not detect the abnormality of the severed needle when he touched it with his own hands. This shows that the grade of this cut-off needle must be grade five or above.
There is another saying in the practice world, which is to regard low-level magic weapons as first-level items, and by analogy, low-level magic items are fifth-level items.
In other words, this severed needle is most likely a magic weapon, and its grade is not low!
Is it possible that I am really blessed with great blessings, and that a blind cat has encountered a dead mouse?
But at this moment, Dan Qiusheng, who was watching Xiao Mian's behavior silently, had already stepped forward and saw the broken needle in Xiao Mian's hand. At first, it didn't seem to matter, but soon, the face of the headmaster of the Five Elements Sect changed slightly. He seemed to have remembered something, and then snatched it away.
Xiao Mian's expression changed, but when he saw that Dan Qiusheng didn't even look at him, but just stared at the severed needle, Xiao Mian knew something was wrong.
Although even Dan Qiusheng cannot freely release his spiritual consciousness due to the existence of the Golden Palace Restriction, this does not mean that Dan Qiusheng cannot use his spiritual consciousness.
When holding the object in his hand like now, Dan Qiusheng can still use his spiritual consciousness to scan the object through direct contact, and Dan Qiusheng is doing the same at this time.
However, as time went by, Dan Qiusheng's expression, which usually remained unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain, instead of being relaxed, became more solemn.
This made Xiao Mian both surprised and happy.
What can make Dan Qiusheng, who has advanced to the Nascent Soul, be so solemn about it? Even if the cutting needle is not a magic weapon, it is probably a mysterious instrument with a great background, right?
While coming to this conclusion, there was always an unsolved mystery in Xiao Mian's mind - where did that mysterious thought just now come from?
