"Let's go, we should catch up quickly." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian walking into the cave first, Xiao Ling nodded to Qing Lin and Zi Yan behind him, stretched out a finger, and a flash of fire leaped up, dispelling all the darkness around him.
Walking in the quiet and dark cave, a slight chill lingers around the body. In the silent passage, there is only the faint sound of four people's footsteps.
The gloomy environment around her made Xiao Yi Xian hugged her arms involuntarily. She looked up at Xiao Ling who was walking slowly in front of her, hesitated slightly, then took a few quick steps and followed him closely. In this environment, only the young man in front of her could make her feel more secure.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Ling prepared to find some topics to talk about, just in time to answer some of the doubts he had before the time travel.
Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yi Xian, his face full of confusion, "Xiao Yi Xian, is this your original name?"
"Yes, I have never seen my father since I was born, and my mother died in an accident..." As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian became a little depressed, and a crystal tear flashed in her eyes.
"I guess the accident that Xiao Yi Xian was talking about should be the first outbreak of the woeful poison body, which implicated her mother. This incident should have always been a knot in Xiao Yi Xian's heart." Touching his chin, Xiao Ling felt inexplicably emotional.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian with somewhat apologetic eyes, Xiao Ling's face was full of guilt, "I'm sorry for reminding you of these sad memories!"
"It doesn't matter. These things happened many years ago. I no longer have any concerns about them..." With a nonchalant look on her face, Xiao Yi Xian shook her head at Xiao Ling indifferently, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling habitually stretched out his hand and planned to rub the Little Medical Fairy's head to express his comfort to her.
However, thinking that they had known each other for only a short time and their relationship was not that good, he slowly put down the hand he had just extended.
Xiao Yi Xian also noticed Xiao Ling's intention. Surprisingly, she was not angry with Xiao Ling. She showed a faint smile, put her hands behind her back, and continued to walk into the cave.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ling let out a light sigh and stopped thinking about the matter. The cave returned to peace again.
With the illumination of the flame in Xiao Ling's hand, several people walked along the cave passage into the interior. After a while, a stone gate appeared in front of them. Seeing this scene, the four people stopped and looked at the stone gate.
Xiao Ling pointed to the stone gate in front, turned around and looked at the three people, "The road ahead is blocked by this stone gate."
Hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy frowned slightly, took two steps forward, looked at the stone gate, and said thoughtfully: "Behind the stone gate should be our destination. Since this predecessor would build a cave here, I think he would not create a situation where there is no way in."
The Little Medical Fairy stretched out her slender fingers and tapped on it. "Look at the yellow light on the stone door. It is obviously equipped with earth-based mechanical devices. As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to open it. I have read some books on mechanical devices. Give me some time and I can open this stone door immediately."
After saying that, the Little Medical Fairy rolled up her sleeves, revealing a piece of her wrist, and stepped forward to crack the mechanism.
Zi Yan, who was standing behind the few people, saw Xiao Yi Xian's eager look, curled her lips, walked to Xiao Yi Xian and gently pushed her away.
The little doctor fairy who was pushed away by Zi Yan looked back with a puzzled look. Why did this little girl push me? She was so indifferent just now. Could it be that she had some opinion about me?
However, Zi Yan's next move dispelled the doubts in the little doctor fairy's heart.
Zi Yan raised her tender little fist with purple light on it. As Zi Yan twisted her body, a series of sonic booms were emitted and she smashed towards the stone gate in front of her.
"Boom." With a loud bang, the stone gate was smashed into pieces by Zi Yan's punch and turned into dust on the ground. The terrifying power of this punch can be seen.
After clapping her hands to shake off the dust on it, Zi Yan said to the Little Medical Fairy calmly: "It's just a small stone door. I can break it with a casual blow."
Seeing Zi Yan's smug look, Xiao Yi Xian's mouth twitched slightly. She really didn't expect that this little girl would be so violent. However, thinking back to what Xiao Ling said before, this little girl was a transformed magic beast, and her strength had reached the Dou Wang realm. It was reasonable for her to be so violent.
The stone door blocking the way was smashed by Zi Yan. The four of them did not stay for long and walked into the secret room behind the stone door together.
Inside the stone gate is a huge stone chamber. The chamber looks a bit simple and empty. The walls are inlaid with moonstones for lighting. In the center of the chamber, there is a chair. On the chair, a skeleton is sitting. The sunken skull falls on the pale thigh bone. This appearance looks quite eerie in this quiet atmosphere.
In front of the seat, there is a rather wide and long bluestone platform. On the bluestone platform, three locked stone boxes are neatly placed.
In addition, in the three corners of the stone chamber, there were piles of a lot of golden coins and other precious treasures. The number of such a large number of gold coins was probably no less than hundreds of thousands.
Xiao Ling and the other two had no shortage of treasures and money, and the original owners of these treasures had also placed them casually, and it seemed that they also did not value these gold and silver things too much.
After the four people entered the stone chamber, Zi Yan's eyes were always fixed on the corner of the stone chamber. Seeing this, Xiao Ling and the others also looked in the direction of her gaze.
In the last corner, a small flower bed was built with soil. Various flowers and plants were planted in the flower bed, and a strange fragrance lingered in the air.
Looking at these flowers and plants, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that it was the fragrance of these herbs that attracted Zi Yan. The nose of this Taixu ancient dragon was indeed more sensitive than that of ordinary people.
When Xiao Yi Xian saw these medicinal herbs, her eyes were instantly attracted. However, she thought of the people around her who were extremely powerful, and was afraid of causing their dissatisfaction, so she only dared to use her peripheral vision to observe whether Xiao Ling and the other two were suitable for the plan and whether they would abide by the previous agreement.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's look, Xiao Ling was really afraid that she had misunderstood him. "Don't worry, Miss Xiao Yi Xian, what I said before is of course valid. As long as you like these herbs, you can take them all."
Xiao Yi Xian, who was a little nervous at first, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Ling's words. Now that she was in the cave, since the other party didn't attack her, it seemed that he was a trustworthy person. She took out a small shovel from her backpack, rolled up her sleeves, and began to carefully dig up the precious medicinal herbs in the flower beds, and took out the jade bottle containing medicinal herbs that she carried with her, and put them into it one by one.
Purple-blue leaves, white ginseng fruit, ice-flame grass, snow lotus seeds..."
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the small flower bed, and the names of rare and hard-to-find high-grade medicinal herbs popped out secretly from the little medical fairy's rosy little mouth.
Xiao Yi Xian had only seen these herbs in some books about herbs, especially the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, which seemed to be the main ingredient for refining a sixth-grade elixir. She didn't expect that the harvest this time would be so great. For someone who loves herbs like her, getting a rare herb is far more exciting than getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's little head, looked at her regretful expression, and said with a smile: "Don't take it to heart, these herbs are of no help to your cultivation. When we get to the imperial capital, I'll give you a whole Heavenly Jade fruit."
When Zi Yan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. It was the Heavenly Jade Fruit, one of the few medicinal herbs that could be eaten directly and tasted super good. Xiao Ling treasured it so much in the past that he was reluctant to take it out. But this time he could actually eat a whole one. It seemed that he was in a good mood now. "Then it's a deal. I have to pick the biggest one to eat."
At this time, Qing Lin had already walked to the stone table in the center of the stone chamber, looking curiously at the three quaint stone boxes placed on it.
She found that there were three metal locks on each stone box. She stretched out her little hand and twisted them hard, but found that they did not move at all, and there was no sign of corrosion from time. This was obviously not ordinary metal, so the method of using brute force to unlock it was not feasible.
"Where are the keys?" Qing Lin muttered, and her eyes moved to the dry bones behind the stone table. She lowered her sight, and her eyes lit up. She saw three black keys hanging on the bones in the palm of the skeleton. She rubbed her hands, walked forward, looked at the dry bones, and with a timid heart, she put her palms together in front of it, then carefully grabbed the key and gently pulled it.
"Crack." Due to the passage of time, the withered arm was actually broken by this tiny force.
At this time, Zi Yan and Xiao Ling also walked to Qing Lin's side. Seeing this funny look, they couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing the laughter of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, Qing Lin's pretty face flushed and she glanced at the dry bones behind the stone table with displeasure.
When looking through the fracture above, one can vaguely discover that there seems to be a small scroll hidden in the gap between the bones.
Seeing this, Qing Lin pointed at the small scroll and looked at Xiao Ling with curious eyes, "Young Master, there seems to be something hidden there."
Hearing Qing Lin's question, Xiao Ling looked in the direction of his finger and happened to find the familiar small scroll.
With a wave of his hand, the scroll fell into Xiao Ling's palm. After seeing Xiao Ling take the scroll away, Qing Lin picked up the broken arm and carefully put it back on the dry bones.
After untying the black rope tied to it, the entire scroll appeared in front of Xiao Ling.
What appeared in front of his eyes was a piece of parchment made of unknown material. On the slightly yellowed parchment, there were some patterns that seemed to have no regular pattern. In the corner of the parchment, there was a fuzzy thing that looked somewhat like a lotus.
This lotus-shaped thing looks slightly yellowed and blurry, perhaps due to its age, but its general outline can still be seen.
The lotus is black in color, and there seems to be a thin layer of black flame attached to the surface of the lotus. If you look closely, the whole lotus actually gives people a vaguely weird feeling.
"I finally found you in the second remaining map fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map." Holding the remaining map in his hand, Xiao Ling could not hide his excitement.
Xiao Ling now has two pieces of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Remnant Map in his hands, one is right in front of him, and the other is naturally the one he got from Hai Bodong. Xiao Ling, who has read the original novel, naturally knows where the other two pieces of the map appeared. One piece can be easily obtained in Black Seal City, and the last piece can only be auctioned at the Space Trade Fair before the Bodhi Ancient Tree was born. However, by the time of the Space Trade Fair, everyone knows the true origin of this piece of the map, so it cannot be obtained as easily as the other three pieces of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Remnant Map. Without taking out some priceless treasures and not having enough strength, it is impossible to get it.
As long as he had the complete map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he could awaken the dormant Pure Lotus Demon Saint consciousness. Regardless of whether he could learn a trick from this half-emperor, Xiao Ling had to collect all four copies of the remaining maps of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame just because he could format the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame trapped in the Demon Fire space and reduce the difficulty of taming it from hell to difficult.
The Little Medical Fairy, who had just finished collecting herbs, also came to the stone table. Seeing Xiao Ling and the other two staring at the ancient scroll, he muttered in her heart, "What is the origin of this thing? It actually made this sixth-rank alchemist so happy after seeing it."
Seeing the curious look from the Little Medical Fairy beside him, Xiao Ling showed her a fragment of the picture and said, "I want this thing. Do you have any objection?"
Looking at the incomplete map in Xiao Ling's hand, the little medical fairy looked at it carefully and found that not only could she not find any clues from it, but she also felt dizzy.
She quickly retracted her gaze and shook her head, "Since you want it, then take it."
"Thank you very much. I will accept it without hesitation. There are three more boxes here. Let's open them together. If there is anything that you like, just take it all. I am younger than you. You don't have to be so reserved with me. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable." After putting the remaining map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Fire into the storage ring, Xiao Ling smiled at the Little Medical Fairy, raised the three bunches of black keys in his hand, and then pointed to the three quaint boxes on the stone table.
After taking a look at the three boxes on the stone table, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
