Chapter 699 Entering the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Spiritual Beast Chiyan (Subscription Request)
The valley in front of us is somewhat similar to the valley where Song Qingming first helped Huo Feng enter the secret realm to find spiritual medicine. The valley is surrounded by thick fog, obscuring the vision, making it difficult for people to see the scenery inside from the outside.
Such places are usually protected by formations and barriers. Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who have been practicing Taoism for many years and have become Jindan cultivators, naturally noticed the abnormality of the valley at a glance.
After opening the handbook on his body to confirm it again, Song Qingming nodded slightly to Huang Siyuan and took her to the entrance of the valley.
As soon as the two came to the front of the valley, the white fog around them became thicker and thicker, and soon completely covered the surrounding scenery.
Seeing this, Song Qingming calmly took out five silver formation flags and shot them around the two people. Then he cast a spell to drive a gust of wind that quickly blew away the fog in front of them.
After walking forward for hundreds of steps, a cold wind suddenly came from the front, and the temperature around them began to drop rapidly. A somewhat transparent ice wall soon appeared in front of the two people.
Seeing this ice wall with huge cold air, Song Qingming, who was walking in front, was immediately delighted. After holding up a shield to resist the cold around him, he immediately came to the front of the ice wall.
"Yes, this should be the entrance to the spiritual medicine garden. According to the notes left by the predecessor, there is a black ice array guarding here. At least the cultivation level of Jindan stage or above can open the restriction at the entrance."
"Well! This restriction looks quite powerful. There must be some important spiritual objects in the valley, otherwise there would not be such a powerful array guarding the door."
After hearing Song Qingming confirm that he came to the right place, Huang Siyuan's face also showed excitement, and she was full of expectations for the things behind the "black ice array".
"What spiritual objects are there will be known when we go in. There are also records of how to break the array on this array. Wait a moment and I will go to see how to break the array." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he put away the notes and walked forward.
Just as Song Qingming was studying the "Xuanbing Formation" in front of him, Huang Siyuan, who was standing aside and scanning the surroundings, suddenly focused her eyes on a dark bluestone not far away.
The black marks on the bluestone seemed to be burned by some flames, and it was obviously not formed naturally.
"Hey! It seems that some monster has come here, my husband."
Hearing Huang Siyuan's question, Song Qingming, who was standing aside, immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to her side.
After seeing the marks on the bluestone in front of him, Song Qingming's eyes also flashed a little surprise, and nodded to Huang Siyuan beside him:
"It seems that it should have been left not long ago. There are many monsters in this secret realm. It is not strange for monsters to break into this place. We still need to be careful."
After saying that, Song Qingming turned around and walked back, and began to continue studying the "Xuanbing Formation" in front of him.
After about an incense stick of time, Song Qingming, who was already 70% sure of breaking the formation, took out four formation flags and inserted them around the "Xuanbing Formation", and began to cast a spell to try to break the restriction in front of him.
This "Xuanbing Formation" is a relatively rare ice-attribute restriction, and its power is equivalent to that of a general third-level medium-grade defense formation. If an ordinary Jindan cultivator encounters it, it is difficult to break this restriction in a short period of time without a cultivation base above the late Jindan stage.
Although Song Qingming's cultivation base has not yet reached the late Jindan stage, he is already a third-level formation master with a high level of formation. In addition, there is the handwritten note left by Zhao Jibai to help guide the weak points of the restriction, so it is not so difficult for him to break this restriction.
After Song Qingming cast a spell, the surrounding formation flags emitted several spiritual lights and merged into the ice wall, which quickly blocked the flow of most of the spiritual energy in the ice wall and weakened the power of the restriction.
When the cold air from the "Xuanbing Magic Array" had weakened to about half of its original strength, Song Qingming stopped casting spells, took out his magic weapon "Mobai Sword", and slashed the ice wall in front of him.
After a loud "bang!", a crack gradually appeared on the ice wall.
Seeing that the restriction in front of him had loosened, Song Qingming smiled slightly, poured the magic power in his body into the "Mobai Sword" in his hand again, and attacked the ice wall again.
After more than a dozen sword lights were slashed out, only a sound of breaking was heard, and the ice wall in front of Song Qingming was finally chiseled out by him. A large hole of five or six feet high.
Seeing that the ice hole in front of him was enough for passage, Song Qingming put away the "Mobai Sword" in his hand with satisfaction, and walked in with Huang Siyuan one after the other.
Not long after the two of them had just passed through the ice wall, a red figure suddenly appeared outside the ice wall.
This creature carefully looked at the ice cave in front of it, and after turning around a few times, it finally couldn't help but drill into the ice cave directly, and soon came to a valley full of red flowers and green grass.
After looking at the valley full of spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines, the red mouse looked around curiously, and a hint of excitement flashed in its eyes.
After smelling the medicinal fragrance coming from the valley, the red rat demon did not rush forward, but turned and ran towards the other side of the mountain wall, wanting to devour a bead of level 2 spiritual medicine there.
Just when it approached the bead of level 2 spiritual medicine, it suddenly stopped and turned around and ran quickly towards the cave entrance it had just entered.
But just a few steps after it ran out, five huge mirrors of different colors suddenly appeared around it, surrounding it.
The "Red Rat Demon" didn't react in time and hit the mirror in front of him and was bounced back.
Seeing that he was suddenly trapped, the "red rat demon" shouted angrily, and then suddenly spit out a ball of red flames from his mouth in an attempt to push back the bronze mirror in front of him.
But what he didn't expect was that after the flame spell he was proud of burned for a while, the golden bronze mirror in front of him was not damaged at all under the protection of a green light.
Before the "Red Rat Demon" could attack again, five rays of light suddenly emitted from the surrounding bronze mirrors, locking it in mid-air, making it unable to move again.
After a while, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who had entered the valley before, suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror out of thin air. Looking at the "Red Rat Demon" who had been captured before them, a smile could not help but appear on the corners of their mouths.
"I thought it was some powerful demon king hiding nearby, but it turned out to be a flaming rat that had just formed a pill. It was really a waste of worry."
When Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were breaking the formation outside, they had already discovered traces of spells nearby, and knew that not long ago there was a demon king of high level who was trying to break the restriction and enter the valley.
But at that time, they couldn't find where the demon king was hiding, so they didn't alert him. After the ban was lifted, Song Qingming deliberately left two "golden phantom butterflies" outside to monitor the movement outside before entering the valley.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to discover the "Flame Rat Demon" hiding nearby, and the two of them laid an ambush nearby and caught it sneaking in.
Looking at the "flaming rat demon" who was still struggling in front of her, Huang Siyuan smiled and shook her head and said: "It is also a chance that this rat demon can advance to the golden elixir realm in the secret realm.
If no one comes in in another thousand years, when its cultivation reaches the late stage of the Golden Core, I am afraid that the restrictions outside the valley will not be able to stop it. By then, most of the elixirs in the valley will have fallen into its belly. Fortunately, we discovered it in time. "
"What a pity! It doesn't have this chance now."
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in his hand and the "Black White Sword" appeared in front of him again, walking step by step towards where the "Flame Rat Demon" was.
The "Flame Rat Demon" who was still struggling desperately saw a hint of fear in his eyes when he saw Song Qingming, who was coming with a flying sword. However, no matter how hard the "Flame Rat Demon" struggled, he still couldn't break free. The "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" binds it.
"I just want to steal a few elixirs. I don't want to disturb you. Please be kind and generous to my two fellow Taoists and spare me!"
Just when Song Qingming was about to kill the demon king with a sword, a light and moving voice that sounded like a young woman suddenly came from it, causing Song Qingming to stop in his tracks instantly.
"Hey! It's just a demon king who has just formed a pill, but he can actually speak human words. This is really weird!" Huang Siyuan on the side also heard the voice and stepped forward with some curiosity.
"Decades ago, I accidentally swallowed a kind of spiritual water. I didn't want to increase my cultivation level and after forming a pill, I actually opened my spiritual wisdom in advance, and then I learned to speak.
I have been practicing here for more than five hundred years, and I know that there are high-level elixirs in many places. If you two fellow Taoists want it, I am willing to take you to find it. I just ask you to let me go. "
"The Fiery Rat Demon" said while looking at Song Qingming and the two of them carefully, his words full of pleading.
"Haha! You dare to play tricks in front of us. You really made the wrong calculation. With or without you, it won't hinder our search for the elixir. Besides, you have a lot of things we need, so we don't have to go to so much trouble."
Faced with the pleading of the "flaming rat demon" in front of him, Song Qingming's face remained unmoved, and he still wanted to kill him with a sword.
"Husband, it can actually activate spiritual wisdom in advance. It is not easy for a person to have a great opportunity in cultivation. I think it is better to give it a chance to survive!" Just when Song Qingming was about to continue his attack, Huang Siyuan on the side suddenly spoke up and stopped him. .
Then Huang Siyuan came directly to the "Flame Rat Demon" and asked it: "Today you fell into our hands. It is impossible to escape intact.
I understand that it is not easy for you to practice cultivation. We can give you a chance to live. It depends on whether you are willing or not. "
"I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do for you, just tell me." When he heard that he had a chance to survive, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the "Flame Rat Demon".
Seeing this, Huang Siyuan continued to speak: "Okay, if you agree, you can sign a blood contract with me. In this way, not only can you save your life, but I can also take you away from here to practice outside.
After all, the aura of this place is limited. If you stay here and want to practice, the best you can do is reach the Golden Core stage. It is impossible to go further. You might as well leave with me. You may have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Woolen cloth. "
"Bloodline contract, do you want to accept me as your spiritual pet?" Hearing the words bloodline contract, the "flaming rat demon" suddenly hesitated, and there was a hint of humiliation in his eyes.
Although it has been living in this secret realm, the "Flame Rat Demon", which has already developed its intelligence, obviously knows all the common sense in the outside world of immortal cultivation, and knows what signing a "blood contract" with a human monk means to it.
"Siyuan, this kind of demon king who has opened his spiritual wisdom is not so easy to tame.
I think you should not waste time on it. Let's kill the demon and get the elixir. It's easier and saves so much trouble. "
Just when the "Flame Rat Demon" was still hesitating, a somewhat cold voice appeared next to its ears, instantly interrupting its thoughts.
When the two of them planned to catch this monster beast, Huang Siyuan liked its cute appearance. After knowing that the other party had activated the spiritual monster in advance, she wanted to take it as a spiritual pet. idea.
Therefore, she had just secretly sent a message to Song Qingming who was standing aside, asking him to cooperate with her in playing a bad role to see if she could have a chance to conquer this "flaming rat demon".
Seeing that Huang Siyuan wanted to cooperate with him to subdue this demon, Song Qingming naturally had no objection. He pretended to be fierce and wanted to kill the demon to get the pill, and walked towards the location of the "Flame Rat Demon" with his flying sword in hand.
Seeing Song Qingming slowly walking over with a bad look on his face, the "Flame Rat Demon" with his intelligence turned on finally chose to compromise with them in order to save his life. He nodded quickly and agreed unwillingly:
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, I can sign a blood contract with her, but you can't go back on your promise to take me out. I'm tired of staying here and want to go out and see the outside world.
Also, if this Taoist friend is no longer alive in the future, you can no longer restrict my freedom. If you agree, I am willing to sign a contract with her now and practice with her. "
"Hmph! It's all fish and meat on the chopping board. You still dare to make so many demands from us. You are really courageous. You are not afraid of death, are you?"
Hearing that the demon king actually said that Huang Siyuan would not be alive in the future, Song Qingming's face changed and he became a little unhappy. He glared at the "flaming rat demon" fiercely and couldn't help but want to go forward and disembowel it. Belly.
Seeing this, Huang Siyuan immediately stepped forward to stop him, turned to the "Flame Rat Demon" and said: "We can definitely do what we promised you. Don't worry, you will definitely be with me in the future. Benefits, I won’t treat you badly.
If I am no longer here in the future, I can let you go free. If you are worried, you can add this sentence when signing the blood contract, so you have nothing to worry about! "
"If this is the case, then I am willing to recognize you as my master and leave here with you!"
Hearing that Huang Siyuan was willing to agree to his request, the "Fire Rat Demon" felt a little relieved and immediately nodded in agreement with Huang Siyuan's request.
At the same level of cultivation, the longevity of a rat monster is usually several times that of a human monk. Signing a "blood contract" with Huang Siyuan does not mean that it will be controlled by others for the rest of its life.
As long as the owner dies, the "blood contract" on the monster beast will automatically expire. After being temporarily humiliated for hundreds of years, it still has a chance to regain its freedom.
After "Flame Rat Demon" finished speaking, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed over his head, and he took out a drop of blood essence from his body and sent it to Huang Siyuan.
Seeing that the "Flame Rat Demon" finally agreed to sign a "blood contract" with her, Huang Siyuan was very happy. She quickly took out a scroll that had been prepared and started the ceremony of recognizing its owner.
A quarter of an hour later, after the blood essence and blood donated by the "Flame Rat Demon" had been successfully refined into the body, Huang Siyuan also signed a "blood contract" with the other party and adopted it as her spiritual pet.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also immediately took back his natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and released the restraints on the "Flame Rat Demon".
The "Flame Rat Demon", who had just regained his freedom, immediately jumped onto Huang Siyuan's shoulders and bowed his hands to her very respectfully to express his respect.
"I've met the master!"
"Well! From now on, you will be called Chi Yan!"
Seeing the cute behavior of the "Flame Rat Demon", Huang Siyuan gave it a nice name, gently tapped its little head, and took out a bottle of elixir that monsters like to devour. Gave it.
Seeing Huang Siyuan's generosity, "Chi Yan", who had a new name, felt very happy, and her affection for her master suddenly increased.
Unlike the "Ice and Fire Dragon" hatched by Song Qingming, spiritual beasts such as "Red Flame" that had given birth to spiritual intelligence and were subdued halfway were basically forced to sign a "blood contract".
Although this kind of spiritual beast is also controlled by others due to the "blood contract", it has no relationship with its owner. If it does not cultivate a good relationship as much as possible, it may backfire on its owner in a critical moment.
Huang Siyuan had just conquered "Red Flame", so she naturally understood the importance of this, and she tried her best to show some courtesy to the spiritual pet she had just obtained.
After subduing the demon king that followed them into the valley, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan didn't waste any more time, and continued to walk forward while asking "Red Flame" about other things in the secret realm.
"Red Flame" is a demon king born and raised in this "Tianyuan Sect Secret Realm" and has lived here for four hundred years.
It was still a little ignorant at first, but once it secretly drank a sip of spiritual spring somewhere else, it unexpectedly awakened its bloodline and opened its spiritual intelligence in advance. Not long after, it was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and as a result, it broke through and advanced to the golden elixir. realm.
"What kind of spiritual water has such an effect?" Hearing "Chi Yan" talking about the spiritual water he had swallowed, Song Qingming, who was walking in front, turned back curiously.
However, when "Chi Yan" heard Song Qingming's question, he immediately shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
As a Jindan demon king, "Chi Yan" has been living in this secret realm. Most of what he knows is learned from some notes left by some cultivators who entered the secret realm to train in the past of "Tianyuan Sect".
It itself does not recognize many spiritual objects in it. Most of them are still like other ordinary low-level demon beasts outside, using smell to distinguish whether they are useful to itself.
"Master, I know that place and I can take you there, but it has been occupied by a more powerful guy recently. If we want the spiritual water, we need to defeat it first."
"What is the cultivation level of the more powerful monster?"
"Chi Yan" replied unwillingly: "That guy is a black bear who has practiced for thousands of years. He is much stronger than me and has advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir. I have fought with him several times over the years but failed to snatch the spiritual water.
That's why I ran here to look for spiritual medicine. I didn't expect to spend several months and still be able to get in. I ran into the two masters again. I really walked into a trap this time."
"That's not necessarily true. If you follow us, you may have a greater opportunity in the future. When I finish my work, I will go find the black bear. I will definitely help you get revenge this time!" Song Qingming smiled and shook his head at it.
"Haha! Then I will thank the two masters first." Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to help it get revenge, "Chi Yan" thought that he would have the opportunity to taste the spiritual water again, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
As they talked, they had already walked to the depths of the valley. As the surrounding spiritual energy became more and more dense, a large area of herbs with various spiritual lights soon appeared in front of them, shocking Song Qingming and his friends who had just arrived here.
In this large spiritual medicine garden deep in the valley, at least thousands of spiritual objects of various categories were planted, including various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and flowers and fruit trees emitting dazzling spiritual lights, and some were species that Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had never seen before.
Most of these spiritual objects were spiritual medicines above level 2, and many of them had already broken through to level 3, which made Song Qingming and his friends dazzled for a while.
There was also a small spirit gathering array in the middle of the spiritual medicine garden, in which several special spiritual medicines were planted, and the aura they exuded seemed to be close to level 4.
"Wow! There are so many spiritual medicines here, we are really lucky."
Seeing the spiritual medicine garden in front of him, "Chi Yan", who had been standing on Huang Siyuan's shoulder, jumped down with joy and ran quickly to the spiritual medicine garden.
But before it ran far, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way.
"Don't touch these spiritual medicines!"
Hearing the somewhat cold voice of Song Qingming behind him, "Chi Yan" who had hit the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" with his head shrugged and turned back to Huang Siyuan's hands.
"I'm sorry to trouble you for a while, I will reward you later."
Looking at the somewhat aggrieved "Chi Yan" in her hand, Huang Siyuan smiled and stroked it, then threw another pill to it, and then put it into a white spiritual beast bag. (End of this chapter)
