Chapter 637: Unexpected Gains, Ice and Fire Dragon Advances

However, over the past tens of thousands of years, although many cultivators of the "Tianxuan Sect" have cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core, no one has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and they have never been able to take back the Tianyuan Sea from the monsters.

It was not until more than two thousand years ago that Zhao Jibai took over as the head of the "Tianxuan Sect". He also came to the Tianyuan Sea twice and entered the secret realm to search for spiritual objects.

Originally, with his talent, he had cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core before he was three hundred years old, and there was a great hope that he would break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Unfortunately, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes. After Zhao Jibai came out of this secret realm for the second time, he was unfortunately besieged by several powerful monster kings on the way back to the sect. After a hard battle, he was seriously injured. After escaping here, he died here not long after.

In addition, because the "Tianxuan Sect" has been covering up the secret of this secret realm for so many years, each generation of the head has passed it on by word of mouth, and few people in the sect know about it.

After Zhao Jibai fell here, no other cultivators from the "Tianxuan Sect" had come to find him for so many years, until Song Qingming mistakenly entered this place to avoid the "Sky Wind Beast Tide" and found his bones.

The reason why Zhao Jibai left this suicide note in his storage magic tool before his death was to make these things clear.

In addition to hoping that someone would find this place in the future and bring his remains and relics back to the "Tianxuan Sect", he also didn't want the secret of this secret realm to be buried on him.

After reading this suicide note, Song Qingming was also greatly shocked. He never dared to imagine that this inconspicuous stone chamber actually hid a secret realm opened up in an independent space.

You know, a secret realm developed by an ancient cultivator is basically a foundation that only sects above the Nascent Soul can have.

Xiaoyao Sect has been established for thousands of years, and the only Taiyue Lake secret realm in the territory cannot be owned alone, and needs to be shared with other surrounding sects.

It can be seen that the preciousness of this secret realm, once known to outsiders, even those Yuanying major sects in the world of immortal cultivation will be very excited and come to compete for this place.

It is no wonder that the successive leaders of the "Tianxuan Sect" pay so much attention to protecting this secret.

Compared with such a secret realm that can enhance the foundation of the Yuanying Sect, the spiritual objects in Zhao Jibai's storage magic tools are also very precious, but there is still a big gap between the two.

According to the message on the suicide note, Song Qingming quickly found a snow-white jade magic tool and a bamboo slip handbook that recorded the details of this secret realm from the many relics left by Zhao Jibai.

After a while, Song Qingming, who was holding the white jade tablet, cast a spell in his hand, and the jade tablet soon emitted a burst of spiritual light and flew into the air, and then automatically came to the middle of the stone chamber and began to frantically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After a long time, the white jade card, which had absorbed enough energy, began to rotate rapidly in the air, slowly forming a huge spiritual energy vortex of more than ten feet in radius.

After carefully observing the spiritual energy vortex in front of him, Song Qingming cast a spell to test it before raising his hand and taking the white jade card in the air back into his hand.

Without the active traction of the jade card, the huge spiritual energy vortex that was constantly rotating in the air slowly stopped, and then quickly disappeared, and the spiritual energy surging in the cave gradually returned to normal.

"The barrier of this space channel is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary Yuanying cultivators to break through it. It's really a bit of a bad time!" Song Qingming sighed lightly and put the jade card and bamboo slips in his hand directly into his storage magic tool.

According to the secret realm notes on Zhao Jibai's body, although there are many precious high-level spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines in this secret realm space, they can even be found in the main medicine used to refine the "Foundation Pill".

However, this secret realm is the same as the "Taiyue Lake Secret Realm". It is not open at any time. It also needs to wait until a specific time when the space barrier is weaker before it can be opened.

When the "Tianyuan Sect" was still there, there was a spiritual object left by the late Yuanying elder of the sect to open the secret realm, which could be opened once every thirty years or so.

But after the destruction of this ancient sect, the spiritual object was lost. Now the white jade tablet in Song Qingming's hand was copied by a later leader of the "Tianxuan Sect" based on some records left by the predecessors.

Although this imitation spiritual object can barely open this secret realm, the actual effect is relatively much worse. It takes about seventy to eighty years to open it.

Song Qingming just tried to enter the space barrier of the secret realm and found that it was much stronger than the record in the note that the secret realm can be opened. It is estimated that it will take at least a few decades before he can try to reopen this secret realm.

Knowing that there was a secret realm in front of him, but he couldn't enter it for a while, Song Qingming was a little disappointed in his heart, and he couldn't help showing a bit of helplessness. Sure enough, his luck was still a little worse.

However, although he couldn't enter the secret realm smoothly now, he now knew the secret and got the key to open the secret realm. As long as he waited patiently for a few decades, he would definitely have a chance to enter in the future.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming's mood slowly calmed down, put away the disappointment on his face, and put his eyes back on the many precious spiritual objects left by Zhao Jibai in front of him.

Regardless of whether there will be a chance to enter the secret realm to search for treasures in the future, at least this senior in front of him still left a lot of good things for him.

After spending another half an hour to carefully sort out the many spiritual objects on the ground, Song Qingming slowly picked out those spiritual objects that were useful to him.

The most conspicuous thing was the colorful spiritual stones. After Song Qingming counted them, he got a total of three high-grade spiritual stones, 125 medium-grade spiritual stones, and more than 10,000 scattered low-grade spiritual stones, with a total value of nearly 60,000 yuan.

Seeing the various spiritual stones piled up like mountains in front of him, flashing with bursts of colorful spiritual light, Song Qingming was also very happy. No matter whether it was a Qi-refining cultivator or a Jindan cultivator, no one would think that spiritual stones were too much.

After putting away these spiritual stones, Song Qingming found five magic weapons above level three in Zhao Jibai's storage magic tools. Except for one that was severely damaged and could not be used, the other four were still intact.

The best quality items are a jade ruler magic weapon "White Dragon Ruler" with a white dragon engraved on it, and a pair of palm-sized golden rings "Golden Shining Treasure Halo".

These two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, are both of excellent quality and powerful third-level top-grade magic weapons. When Song Qingming held these two magic weapons, he couldn't let them go, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The remaining two magic weapons are a third-level middle-grade flying sword of similar quality to Song Qingming's "Mobai Sword", and a third-level low-grade round shield magic weapon.

Although the quality of these two magic weapons is not bad, they can attract some Jindan cultivators to fight for them in the market outside, but they are relatively ordinary compared to the above two magic weapons.

In addition to these four third-level magic weapons of better quality, Song Qingming also found a lot of second-level magic tools from these spiritual objects.

However, because the materials used to refine these magic tools are not as good as magic weapons, most of them have been rusted and cannot be used after being placed in Zhao Jibai's storage bag for so many years.

Song Qingming carefully searched for a while, and finally found only two or three pieces of good quality and usable, and put them away.

After putting these useful magic tools and magic treasures aside, Song Qingming picked out the spiritual talismans that were emitting spiritual light.

Compared with magic tools, as long as the spiritual energy of the talismans is sealed during the refining, they can generally be preserved for a long time and will not be easily damaged.

It’s just a pity that although Song Qingming found a lot of talismans on Zhao Jibai, they are basically low-level talismans. There are only two high-level talismans above level three, and they are all low-quality level three talismans.

This also made Song Qingming, who was originally very much looking forward to this kind of spiritual objects, slightly disappointed.

I don’t know if it was because Zhao Jibai used up all the other high-level talismans on his body in the battle when he was attacked by the demon king in the end, or if he forgot to bring them when he went out.

In addition to these spiritual objects, Song Qingming also found a Jindan period technique from the spiritual objects left by Zhao Jibai, as well as some common low-level techniques and classics related to talisman making on the market.

The remaining bottles, jars and wooden boxes containing various spiritual medicines, spiritual herbs and elixirs. After searching for a while, Song Qingming slowly showed a bitter smile on his face.

Although these spiritual objects were sealed and preserved, the contents had long been damaged over time and their original appearance could not be recognized at all.

However, these were actually expected by Song Qingming at the beginning. After all, it has been two thousand years since Zhao Jibai's death. Even spiritual medicines above level four can hardly be preserved for so long, not to mention other low-level spiritual objects.

Looking at the various spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines in the wooden box that had turned into black powder, Song Qingming also showed a trace of regret on his face.

Many of these spiritual medicines should have been brought out by Zhao Jibai from the secret realm, but unfortunately they are no longer recognizable, and Song Qingming doesn't know what good things he brought out from there.

From Zhao Jibai's storage magic tools, he got nearly 60,000 spiritual stones and four third-level magic weapons of good quality. If you count other spiritual objects of lower value, the total is almost 100,000 spiritual stones.

This is the biggest harvest for Song Qingming after practicing for so many years, except for the trip to the "Babel Tower" decades ago.

When Song Qingming entered the "Babel Tower", the reason why he was able to harvest so many spiritual objects was that in addition to the help of the Fire Phoenix, he himself had gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers, fought with the demon cultivators for life and death several times, and finally made some gains.

This time, Song Qingming was able to get these spiritual objects from Zhao Jibai mainly because he found this place by chance while avoiding disaster.

Apart from spending some effort to seal the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Formation" at the door, Song Qingming basically did not encounter any major danger. Compared with the dangerous trip to the "Tower of Babel", Song Qingming's trip this time can be regarded as extremely relaxed.

This also made Song Qingming secretly thank his good luck at this moment.

——

Broken chapter!

After collecting all the useful spiritual objects he picked out beside him, Song Qingming found a cloth bag, wrapped up Zhao Jibai's skeleton on the ground, carefully put it into the storage magic tool, and then turned around and walked out of the stone room.

In order to cover up this stone room and prevent other outsiders from discovering the secrets here, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to leave this underground cave.

First, he dismantled the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Formation" guarding the stone chamber outside, and patiently spent a lot of time to restore its original power before re-arranging it in the original place.

Then, he re-arranged a second-level upper-grade concealment magic formation at the entrance of the stone cave outside, completely covering the stone cave, and then he felt relieved.

Although the stone cave had long been an empty and deserted cave after Song Qingming's treatment.

But in order to prevent someone from mistakenly entering this place like himself and attracting other high-level cultivators to discover the secrets of the secret realm in the stone chamber, Song Qingming patiently arranged several protective measures outside before leaving.

Fortunately, this stone chamber is located in the underground cave under the entire island, which is relatively secretive, otherwise no one would have found it for two thousand years.

In addition, Song Qingming repaired the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Formation" at the door. Except for those powerful people above the late Jindan stage, ordinary cultivators would not be able to enter here even if they could find it.

After doing all these things, Song Qingming had been in the cave for nearly a month. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, he left the place directly.

According to the instructions of the secret notes left by Zhao Jibai, Song Qingming found a small pool filled with seawater in these caves without much effort.

Song Qingming jumped directly into the pool, cast a "water avoidance spell", and then escaped forward along a passage deep in the bottom of the pool.

After walking down for about 20 to 30 feet, Song Qingming's eyes lit up and he felt as if he had escaped into the deep sea. He quickly floated to the surface of the water.

After feeling the long-lost sunshine, Song Qingming glanced around and found that he had come to the other side of the island at this moment. He couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"The entrance to the cave below has been hidden in the deep sea and has been covered by the sea for many years. No wonder it is difficult for outsiders to find this place."

After feeling around and not finding any powerful monsters, Song Qingming immediately left the sea and flew to a huge rock on the shore of an island not far away.

After taking a closer look at the deserted island where he was, Song Qingming recalled some of the things he encountered when he came here, which still seemed like a dream.

From coming out confidently to hunt monsters, to encountering the "Sky Wind Beast Tide" and escaping for their lives, to accidentally entering the cave and finding an opportunity left by a senior Jindan cultivator.

In just over two months, Song Qingming's experience was full of ups and downs, and the twists and turns made him feel a little unreal.

After standing there for a long time, Song Qingming slowly raised his right hand, cast a spell to release the "Phantom Boat" on his body, and then jumped on the flying boat and turned into a white light and disappeared on the spot.

After leaving the deserted island, Song Qingming did not want to look for other traces of his companions. The flying boat went straight west and sped towards the offshore.

After separating from Li Xianyun and others that day, everyone agreed to return to Linggui Island and reunite. Although Song Qingming did not know whether they had escaped the attack of the "Sky Wind Beast Tide" like himself, it has been more than a month now. If they were still alive, they should have returned long ago.

More than half a month later, at the port of Linggui Island.

A white light suddenly flew quickly from the horizon and landed on a reef next to the port.

Standing at the place where he started a few months ago, Song Qingming glanced at the familiar Linggui Island, his mouth slightly raised, and a smile slowly emerged.

On the way back from Tianyuan Sea, except for encountering a middle-stage Jindan demon king halfway, which Song Qingming quickly got rid of, he did not encounter too many demon beasts to block him, and he returned to the relatively safe human territory without any danger.

Song Qingming, who had been running all the way, was a little tired at the moment. After entering the city, he returned directly to the cave he rented.

Just as he walked not far in front of the cave, a very handsome figure ran towards him.

"Senior! You are finally back, this is really great."

Seeing Luo Li coming towards him with excitement, Song Qingming smiled at her for the first time and asked softly, "No one has come to me recently!"

Before leaving the cave to go out with Li Xianyun and others to hunt monsters, Song Qingming left the "Ice and Fire Dragon" in the cave because it had not yet been upgraded.

In order to prevent someone from forcibly breaking into his cave when he was away, Song Qingming spent some spirit stones and asked Luo Li to look after the cave before he came back.

Ask her to come here to patrol every day, and if she finds someone touching the restrictions outside her cave, she will immediately notify the monks in charge of renting the cave on Linggui Island at the foot of the mountain.

For Luo Li, who spent his days on Linggui Island, just coming here every day to help look after Song Qingming's cave, he could get a reward of dozens of spirit stones. This was a rare good thing that fell from the sky, and he agreed without thinking.

After hearing Song Qingming's question, Luo Li quickly replied:

"Senior! A month ago, a senior came here to look for you several times, and left me an address, asking me to notify him as soon as I saw you back, as if he had something urgent to find you.

Besides him, no one else has been here."

"Oh! Tell me what this person looks like first." Song Qingming asked with a hint of curiosity.

"That senior is about the same height as you and looks a bit cold..."

After Luo Li slowly sketched out the general appearance of the senior who was anxiously looking for him, a trace of relaxation slowly appeared on Song Qingming's face.

The person who came here to see him several times was none other than Li Xianyun, who went out hunting monsters with him.

Hearing the news from Luo Li that Li Xianyun had returned to Linggui Island safe and sound, Song Qingming was a little happy for him. He took out ten more spiritual stones and gave them to Luo Li, asking her to help him give them to Li Xianyun first. I sent a letter to report that I was safe.

Seeing the spirit stone taken out by Song Qingming, Luo Li waved his hand to him uncharacteristically and said:

"I just went to help report a letter. Senior, there is no need to give me so many spiritual stones. You have already given me so many spiritual stones before. If I accept your spiritual stones again, Luo Li will be too greedy!

Don't worry, senior, I'll go deliver the letter for you right away. If you have any instructions, just contact me. If you need to collect the spiritual stones, I will take the initiative to tell you. "

Seeing the serious look on this little girl's face, Song Qingming didn't insist anymore. After putting away the spirit stone in his hand, he watched her leave quickly with a happy face.

"Knowing choices, knowing how to advance and retreat, this personality is really similar to mine!" After standing there and muttering to himself with a smile, Song Qingming turned around and came to the front of his cave.

After carefully checking the restrictions he set at the entrance of the cave, and finding that no one had touched them, Song Qingming opened the restrictions and walked into the cave with confidence.

As soon as he entered the door, blue figures flew towards him in mid-air.

See it! Song Qingming also immediately released a golden shield in front of him, deflecting the blue figure that suddenly attacked him.

But the next moment, when Song Qingming saw what the thing that just wanted to "attack" him was, a look of guilt suddenly appeared on his face.

"Why is it you! Hey, with this breath, you have successfully broken through the realm!"

Seeing the "ice and fire dragon" in front of him who had grown several times in size and whose aura had changed greatly, Song Qingming suddenly felt surprised, and a hint of surprise slowly appeared on his face.

The "Ice Fire Dragon" was bounced to the ground. After giving Song Qingming a somewhat aggrieved look, he slowly crawled towards him and landed on Song Qingming's shoulder.

It had been several months since he went out, but he didn't expect that the "Ice and Fire Jiao" had successfully advanced and successfully broke through to the foundation-building realm. This really gave Song Qingming a big surprise.

After spending so much energy and consuming so many resources and spiritual objects for so many years, Song Qingming finally saw some results, and Song Qingming was very happy.

Once a demonic beast with strong bloodline like "Ice Fire Jiao" grows up, it will definitely be a bit more powerful than ordinary demonic beasts. As long as Song Qingming is willing to spend more time cultivating it in the future, sooner or later it will be able to advance to the advanced level. The golden elixir realm.

The "Ice Fire Jiao", who had been feeling aggrieved in the cave for a long time, immediately clung to Song Qingming and refused to come down when he saw his master Song Qingming coming back.

It wasn't until Song Qingming took out a blood-red first-level spirit fruit from the storage bag and threw it to it that he returned to the spirit beast bag with a satisfied look on his face. (End of chapter)
