"Someone to be grateful to you!"
Shen Xiang and Mu Qianxiang were both looking outside the cave, but then they trembled all over, because without them noticing, that person had come in, and was sitting next to the fire, picking up the beast meat that Shen Xiang had roasted and taking small bites of it.
He was a middle-aged man with a small beard and some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but they made him look kind when he smiled with his eyes squinting. He was wearing a clean white suit and looked a little thin, but he looked very healthy and energetic.
He sat there eating barbecue and said with a smile: "This meat is really delicious, although I don't need to eat this kind of thing to improve my strength."
"How can you do this? You eat without getting other people's consent!" Mu Qianxiang frowned. The meat was originally roasted for her.
Shen Xiang pulled Mu Qianxiang, because the man in front of him was very scary and not someone he and Mu Qianxiang could deal with.
"This guy is a wandering immortal... You should know who he is!" Long Xueyi reminded Shen Xiang.
"You just said that you wanted to be grateful to me? What are you grateful to me for?" Shen Xiang asked.
"You should know who I am, right? I didn't expect that in this era, there are still people who know that the Seven-Colored Sacred Core can be taken away, so you should also know that I am a wandering immortal." The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "My last name is Duan, Duan Ming."
Shen Xiang said in a deep voice: "Over the years, many people have died under your Scattered Immortal Tribulation. Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
Mu Qianxiang understood a little bit. The guy who was eating other people's food was the one who brought the seven-colored natural disaster.
"I have no choice. I am sealed under this place. In order to escape, I have to improve my strength. There was no one above this place before." Duan Ming sighed helplessly.
"Nonsense, our nine clans have been here since ancient times!" Mu Qianxiang immediately retorted.
"Since ancient times? Do you nine clans know what this place is? Your so-called nine clans are nothing but the descendants of a group of people who mistakenly entered this place and could not get out. This place was originally a forbidden area. If they reproduce here, they will only harm their own descendants." Duan Ming said in a friendly manner.
"I came here much earlier than you did. This place is the forbidden area of the Holy Beast Ancient Domain. It is not what you call a holy place."
Although Mu Qianxiang was very unhappy with Duan Ming, Duan Ming was very strong, much stronger than her great-grandfather.
"Then can you take us out?" Mu Qianxiang asked, and what she hoped most in her heart was that this guy could take her to get revenge.
"No, I can only go out alone. I can't bring half an extra person with me, otherwise it will only hurt others and myself." Duan Ming said.
"Hmph, you just said you were grateful to my brother Shen. Are you just expressing your gratitude verbally?" Mu Qianxiang said.
"Little girl, I said I can't take you out, but I didn't say I can't help you out!" Duan Ming laughed: "I am grateful to others, of course, it's not just talk, he saved half my life."
Shen Xiang said: "I will not leave here until I get the beast-killing technique!"
Duan Ming nodded and said, "So you are not from here, but came from outside. This is your purpose, right? You are not strong, but you can come here, which is great!"
"The beast-killing technique is the magical skill on the cliff inside the Samsara Canyon?" Mu Qianxiang asked.
"Yeah!" Shen Xiang and Duan Ming answered at the same time.
"To be honest, even with my current strength, I can't enter the Samsara Canyon to watch the beast-killing technique. It was a barrier set up by several powerful holy beasts, and it is very difficult to break." Duan Ming said: "I came here for this purpose, but I was unlucky and met a very powerful guy. He sealed me here. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the seal has loosened a little, so I was able to escape."
"Can you really help us get out? Is it safe?" Mu Qianxiang asked hurriedly.
"It's still safe, but you have to endure a little pain." Duan Ming looked at Shen Xiang and said, "But this little brother still has to find the beast-killing technique. My method can only be used once every thousand years."
"I will convince him, you don't have to worry about it!" Mu Qianxiang was very confident.
"Okay, I'll prepare now and we'll meet here in a month." Duan Ming took two more pieces of barbecue, then ran out of the cave under Mu Qianxiang's gaze.
"This guy is really..." Mu Qianxiang snorted, "He deserves to be sealed for hundreds of thousands of years. He has no manners at all!"
Shen Xiang was of course happy to be able to get out safely, but he had not yet obtained the beast-killing technique.
"Brother Shen, don't worry about the beast-killing technique. I have it. I will take you to that place tonight." Mu Qianxiang sent a message to Shen Xiang. Until now, she has been very cautious about this matter.
"You have?" Shen Xiang felt incredible and looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah!" Mu Qianxiang nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't you know that I went to the Samsara Canyon just for the Beast Killing Technique?" Shen Xiang pinched Mu Qianxiang's face.
"I just want you to stay here for a few more days so that you can accompany me until my coming-of-age ceremony. Of course, I want to leave with you earlier, but I also want to accompany my great-grandfather." Mu Qianxiang's expression became gloomy when she thought of Mu Tianhua.
"Is it because you learned the beast-killing technique that you were able to improve so quickly?" Shen Xiang became more and more curious about that place. There was actually the beast-killing technique in it.
"Of course not... I fused a very strange stone, and later I found out that it was a heavenly pill. My current practice is to stimulate the power in that heavenly pill, and the power in that heavenly pill is very strange. Once it is stimulated by me, it can not only allow me to gain very powerful strength, but also strengthen my physical body." Mu Qianxiang said.
At night, Mu Qianxiang and Shen Xiang left the cave. Under the guidance of Mu Qianxiang, Shen Xiang used the shrinking step to exert the power of space and ran wildly in the forbidden area of this ancient domain of the holy beast.
This forbidden area is very large. When the colorful calamity cloud erupted, many places were destroyed, but many places were still preserved.
After Shen Xiang and Mu Qianxiang ran wildly for three hours, they came to a place with many huge rocks.
"This place seems to have been severely damaged. Is that place still there?" Shen Xiang looked around carefully. This place was also affected by the calamity force.
Mu Qianxiang took out a jade pendant and said, "Don't be afraid, that place is not connected to here!"
The jade pendant in her hand suddenly lit up, and then emitted a ray of light that hit the void, where a large ball of white light appeared.
Mu Qianxiang hurriedly pulled Shen Xiang and flew into the ball of white light in the air. Now Shen Xiang also understood that that place was actually a space hidden here.
There was a house in that space, and Shen Xiang and Mu Qianxiang appeared in the yard. In the yard there was a tree full of fiery red leaves. Those leaves were not big, but they were densely packed together and emitted flames, making it look as if they were burning with intense flames.
"That's the fairy fruit I said I would give you. It's like a firebird, but there are only two of them." Mu Qianxiang pointed at the two fruits hanging on the tree with strong flames. They looked like little phoenixes.
That is the Phoenix Fruit! A holy-level medicinal ingredient for alchemy!
Shen Xiang had already guessed something. He suspected that this place was left by the Emperor of Pills, but he was curious about who the Heavenly Pill that Mu Qianxiang got belonged to. That Heavenly Pill must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not have allowed Mu Qianxiang to become a Heavenly Monarch in just a few years.
"The beast-killing technique is right there, on a stone tablet. I didn't practice it because it's not suitable for me. There are many good techniques in that Tiandan." Mu Qianxiang said.
"Xiaoxiang, do you know who the Tiandan belongs to?" When Shen Xiang saw the stone tablet engraved with many tiny ancient characters, he knew that it was one of the killing techniques of heaven and earth.
"It belonged to a woman. It didn't look like something left behind after death, because it contained many techniques and cultivation memories, but not her soul. Moreover, the energy inside was also wiped clean of consciousness, so I could easily stimulate it bit by bit." Mu Qianxiang said, "When it was fused, it hurt like hell, but I managed to make it through."
In order to get out, the Dan Emperor even gave up his physical body, and his Heavenly Pill was not preserved. The pill that Mu Qianxiang fused was not his, so whose was it? And it was in this place, and it was a woman!
"Brother Shen, wait here for me. I'll get you something to eat. Things cooked with the leaves of this tree taste better." Mu Qianxiang had already run to the tree and picked those fiery red leaves.
This beast-killing technique required him to integrate it. He placed his palm on it and began to read the contents. He already had three kinds of heaven and earth killing techniques. Now that he had obtained this beast-killing technique, he only lacked the final technique of life and death to complete the heaven and earth killing techniques.
While reading the beast-killing technique on the stone tablet, Shen Xiang unknowingly entered a state of being cut off from the outside world. Three months passed unknowingly, and the beast-killing technique on the stone tablet had been integrated into his mind, and all the ancient characters on the stone tablet disappeared.
When he opened his eyes and stood up, Mu Qianxiang ran over with a plate of delicious roasted meat.
But what Shen Xiang cared about was not the barbecue on it, but the plate. It looked like a plate, but Shen Xiang felt that it looked like something!
He hurriedly stuffed all the barbecue into his mouth, and then looked at the "plate" carefully!
"This is a lid!" Long Xueyi said, "Could it be the lid of the divine tripod?"
Shen Xiang also thought so. He hurriedly took out the divine tripod, only to see that the "plate" suddenly flashed, became a little smaller, and then fitted into the divine tripod!
Shen Xiang swallowed the meat in his mouth abruptly, raised his head and laughed, while Mu Qianxiang looked on in confusion.
Now he could confirm that Emperor Dan had stayed in this place before, otherwise there would not be this lid here.
"What is this?" Mu Qianxiang looked at the small tripod in Shen Xiang's hand.
"It can be used to make pills and also to make equipment. I took a huge risk for this little tripod." Shen Xiang said with emotion.
"Brother Shen, do you know how to make pills?" Mu Qianxiang asked in surprise.
"Of course I understand. I'm really good at making pills. The Heaven Realm once held an alchemy competition, and I won first place in all three rounds. That's why I won this small cauldron. Isn't that amazing?" Shen Xiang said with a proud smile.
