Chapter 15 The Remains of the Demonic Fire
After entering, the vision suddenly became dark. Even with the light coming in from the cave, it could only illuminate a few dozen meters in front of the cave. After that, it became pitch dark. Although he had the power of the soul to perceive, Gu He was still used to seeing things with his eyes, so Gu He used his fighting spirit to ignite a big fireball in his hand.
After walking for a few minutes, Gu He saw a stone door in front of him that emitted a faint yellow light. He was sure that he had arrived at the cave. Next, he only needed to break the stone door to get the things inside.
Gu He only used the power of a fighter to break the stone door, and was fully alert to see if there were any unknown changes. After seeing that there were no unexpected changes in the cave after the stone door was broken, Gu He also breathed a sigh of relief. He walked into the cave. Inside the stone door was a huge stone chamber. The walls of the stone chamber were inlaid with moonstones for lighting. In the center of the stone chamber, there was a chair. On the chair, a withered skeleton sat, with a deeply sunken skull, which fell on the pale thigh bone.
In front of the chair, there was a rather wide bluestone platform. On the bluestone platform, three locked stone boxes were neatly placed.
In the three corners of the stone chamber, there were a lot of golden coins and other precious treasures.
Gu He ignored the gold coins and walked straight to the withered skeleton. He took down the three black keys in his palm and took out a small scroll from the gap between the bones of the withered skeleton's arm.
Gu He fully unfolded the scroll and it appeared in front of him. It was a piece of parchment paper made of unknown material. On the slightly yellowed parchment paper, there were some patterns that seemed to have no regularity. In the corner of the parchment paper, there was a blurry thing that looked like a lotus. The lotus was black, and on the surface of the lotus, there seemed to be a thin layer of black flames attached. If you looked carefully, the whole lotus gave people a faint sense of enchantment.
Looking at the lotus, Gu He chuckled and murmured, "Pure Lotus Demon Fire, now I have a quarter of the residual soul of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Will your fate be refined by Xiao Yan?"
After confirming that he had the genuine Demon Fire Remnant Map in his hand, Gu He put it away for the time being. It was too early to consider these things now. Not to mention that it was not yet time for the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to be born. Even if it was born, it would be impossible to subdue it without a Fighting Saint of six stars or above.
Gu He took the three keys and walked to the three stone boxes on the stone table. He opened the stone boxes one by one in order. He already knew what was inside, so he was not excited at all. The situation inside was as expected. The first stone box was a colorful and simple scroll, which recorded how to prepare poison; the second stone box was a black scroll, which contained the mysterious advanced flying fighting skill: Eagle Wings; the third stone box was a black scroll, which contained the mysterious advanced flying fighting skill: Eagle Wings. It was the scroll taken away by the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps. It contained the Xuanjie advanced fighting skill, Roar of the Wild Lion. Of course, with Gu He's eyesight, he could see that this fighting skill was much more powerful than the general Xuanjie advanced skills. It could be considered the peak of Xuanjie. It was also relatively simple and easy to learn. There was no threshold for learning. The leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps in the original book, who was only a two-star fighter, could practice it successfully. Gu He decided to return to the small valley to practice and give it a try.
Then he walked to the last corner where the medicinal materials were placed. There was a small flowerbed made of soil. On the flowerbed, various flowers and plants were planted, and a strange fragrance lingered on it.
Although most of the herbs here are not too rare for Gu He, the Ice Spirit Flame Grass is the main material for refining the sixth-grade elixir, so it is still quite precious to Gu He. The other herbs are also commonly used herbs for refining fourth- and fifth-grade elixirs, and they are still useful to Gu He. He carefully put all the herbs into the jade bottle.
Gu He stretched his waist and breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of coming here has been achieved. Seeing that there is still enough space in his ring, he put the gold coins and property into the ring.
He used the power of the soul to sense the entire cave again. After confirming that there is no hidden secret room, Gu He left the cave.
When he returned to the valley, Xiao Yixian had not come back yet. Gu He frowned slightly. He had spent a lot of time looking for the cave and exploring the cave, and the round trip. Logically, Xiao Yixian should have come back a long time ago after going back to get some clothes, but now he came back first, and Xiao Yixian was still nowhere to be seen.
Gu He suddenly felt a little uneasy. Seeing that it was almost night, Gu He decided to go to Qingshan Town. No matter what delayed Xiao Yixian, he had to find out first. If Xiao Yixian did not return to the valley because of danger and stayed here without understanding the situation, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Gu He took out a Qi Xiu Dan and swallowed it. The pill dissolved and turned into a huge amount of Dou Qi, which immediately replenished the Dou Qi that Gu He had consumed due to long-term use, and soon made the Dou Qi state full.
Gu He took advantage of the medicinal properties of the pill to drive the Dou Qi wings to fly to Qingshan Town at full speed.
Qingshan Town and the small valley are only a few dozen miles away. At the full speed of the peak Dou Wang, they arrived quickly.
Unsure of Xiao Yixian's situation, Gu He landed not far from Qingshan Town, and then used the power of the soul to sense the entire Qingshan Town.
Soon he found two familiar auras, one from Sun Yi and the other from Xiao Yixian.
At the same time, in Wanyaozhai, Xiao Yixian's room.
Yao Chen, the abbot of Wanyaozhai, was sitting on a stool and comforting her, "Little Medical Fairy, tell me where you got that inner armor from. Not only will I restore your freedom, but I will also let you become the deputy abbot of Wanyaozhai. Think about it, even if you get this inner armor, you don't have the strength to protect it, and you may even lose your life because of it. If you become the deputy abbot of Wanyaozhai, your status will be second only to mine. Even a powerful fighter will give you some face, and the only price is that you tell me where you got it." As he spoke, Yao Chen took out the light blue inner armor. Seeing the inner armor, anger burned in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy, but she knew that she could not compete with Yao Chen with her own strength, so she just looked at Yao Chen coldly.
Seeing that persuasion had no effect, Yao Chen's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still suppressed his greed and said gently: "Please think about it again! My proposal will benefit everyone. I will come again tomorrow morning. If you think it through, you can tell me directly. I will not treat you unfairly. By the way, don't think about resigning for the time being. I will announce to the public that you are sick. So you can rest assured for a few days."
After saying that, Yao Chen put away the inner armor, turned around and left and locked the door.
After Yao Chen left, the little doctor's face suddenly fell, and he leaned on the table and cried sadly.
