When Dongfang Shuo returned to the courtyard, Shen Gongjin was playing with Zhong Ling.

After Dongfang Shuo closed the door, he asked, "Shen Gongjin, aren't you going to attend the celebration banquet?" I heard that the sixth prince made a special trip from the palace to bring a seven-grade spirit chef. ”

"The spirit chef is the spirit chef, it's nothing more than the food is better, and the taste still depends on experience and craftsmanship. Shen Gongjin smiled, "And how can you say that, it's as if my lifelong dream is to be a spirit chef." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "Isn't it?"

Shen Gongjin sighed and shook his head.

"Of course not. He said.

These words surprised Dongfang Shuo a little.

After all, Shen Gongjin has no other shining points except for the identity of a spirit chef.

Although even if it is a second-grade spirit chef, it is not a shining point.

"And what are your dreams?"

Dongfang Shuo sat on the stone bench, reached out and picked up the upside-down teacup and teapot, and poured himself a glass of water.

Being asked like this, Shen Gongjin was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then fell into some hard meditation.

Seeing him like this, Dongfang Shuo drank the glass of water in his hand by himself.

The water is still warm, it should be Shen Gongjin just poured.

However, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have known that Dongfang Shuo would come back at this time.

But even so, he still left warm water for Dongfang Shuo, apparently keeping the water lukewarm.

Speaking of which, every time Dongfang Shuo drinks the water here, it is always warm.

Other than that, thinking about it at the moment, it seems that since living in this courtyard, all the trivial matters seem to have been handled in an orderly manner. This made Dongfang Shuo, who had often lived alone and needed to take care of everything by himself, feel more relaxed.

Although these are all small things, it will not be easy to cover them all.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Shen Gongjin, who was still meditating at the moment, and put down the teacup, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, this is his shining point.

It's just that such a shining point can't make him.

"I don't have any dreams at the moment, but I think I'll have dreams in the future. After thinking about it, Shen Gongjin finally gave up thinking before he could come up with the result.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "Dreams are not something that comes out of nowhere, they are precipitated over the years. At this point, Dongfang Shuo looked at the teacup in front of him, and the water in the cup was very calm, "Even for some people, living is a dream." ”

He himself is such a person.

"Live...... Can it be considered a dream?" Shen Gongjin showed a puzzled look.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked slightly, but because he didn't look at Shen Gongjin head-on, the latter couldn't detect the bitterness in this smile.

"Living sounds like a simple thing, but after all, only by living can you be qualified to talk about dreams. Dongfang Shuo's eyes always converged on the cup, and on the water surface in the cup, there were suddenly ripples, "But not everyone can live easily, such as ......"

Airplanes!

Suddenly, a bell ripped through the silence, and a fierce aura formed above Dongfang Shuo.

The next moment, a dark golden light appeared in the center of the aura, and it suddenly converged into a huge black gold bell, the bell mouth was vertically downward, and the entire aura was frantically converging away at this moment.

Almost in a moment of beating, the big bell that instantly took shape in the suddenly formed aura immediately smashed towards Dongfang Shuo like a mountain.

Clang!

When the giant bell landed, the ground within a few zhang showed cracks in a few zhang, and the ground within nearly a hundred zhang was also trembling, which naturally implicated the courtyard around it. Even the loud noise spread throughout half of the prefecture, which surprised everyone.

"Cut. ”

Zhong Ling, whose eyes were full of golden light, sneered, looking irritable.

Apparently, he missed again.

"For example, there are always people who want to harm me. ”

Dongfang Shuo floated down from above, sat on top of the Ugin giant bell, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile.

And after saying this, Shen Gongjin finally came back to his senses from the sudden loud noise, looked at the ground, and sighed.

I said...... Are you two interesting, one knows that he can't hit and still wants to fight, and the other knows that repairing the floor is expensive but still doesn't stop it. Shen Gongjin held his forehead and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his skull.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo jumped down from the clock.

And the golden bell quickly turned into a small bell and returned to Zhong Ling's hands.

"If you don't hit this time, the punishment will be added to it for another month. Dongfang Shuo stretched out a finger.

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What?

Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Of course, destroying the courtyard floor doesn't need a price?"

"But if it's not so fierce, how can it catch you?"

"Even if it's so fierce, it can't catch me, can it?"

"I said, I will definitely succeed!" Zhong Ling looked determined.

Dongfang Shuo's head was full of black lines: "What are you fighting with?"

As soon as Zhong Ling's body moved at this moment, he turned into a golden mangs and drilled into the Soul Bell of Ugin Town, while the little bell flew straight to Dongfang Shuo's hand.

With a sigh, Dongfang Shuo put away the little clock.

"I'm going to go and rest for a while. Dongfang Shuo said, "I'll leave the matter of dinner to you." ”

Shen Gongjin wanted to speak and stopped, but finally shook his head.

Thinking about it, anyway, the points for repairing the floor are also Dongfang Shuo's, since he doesn't care, Shen Gongjin doesn't have to say anything.

At sunset, when Dongfang Shuo looked at the jade given by Ji Zhaoning again, he read the first message. However, neither the six princes nor the crown prince made any moves.

After that, for several days, there was no news worth paying attention to.

And Dongfang Shuo's attention was naturally placed on another matter. That's alchemy.

The ancestor of the Lu family demolished a total of thirty-eight and a half tombs, and Dongfang Shuo found a total of more than 20 Qihua flowers in them. In addition, Dongfang Shuo brought out a large number of Zhuji Dan from the Heaven Dou Sect, and in the ten days since he came back, Dongfang Shuo has devoted himself to refining 'You can build Jidan if you eat it'.

Although he had personally refined more than a dozen pieces, the fineness was basically not as good as that purchased from the system. But fortunately, the key point of refining this pill is the control of the heat, as long as you find a degree, then basically you will not fail again.

So far, except for the first few failures, Dongfang Shuo has never failed again.

In ten days, without sleep, he refined more than 20 pills in one fell swoop.

Finally, when the last Qi flower was also refined into an elixir, the sky dawned.

With all the 'you can build a foundation after eating', Dongfang Shuo went out early and rushed to the city.

There are still a few days left before seeing Qiu Yebai's mother, and Dongfang Shuo's plan is to go to the spiritual vein to cultivate and use up the opportunity of the thirty-six hours.

When he left the city, the guards did not stop him, because he was the hero of Longlin.

After leaving Longlin City, he rushed straight in one direction, and in that direction, there was the entrance to the largest group of spirit veins in the Spirit Domain of the Dragon Forest Empire.

That area was almost densely packed on the map, and it was more of a spiritual cavern than a group of spiritual veins.

Finally, Dongfang Shuo walked to the edge of a stele.

There is no writing on the stele.

After the stele, a huge bluestone slab was erected from four stone pillars.

Under the bluestone slab, there are steps made of bricks and stones, leading to the bottom of the earth.

Dongfang Shuo reached out to touch the stele, and just as the sixth prince had said to him, a line of words appeared from the stele.

"Dongfang Shuo's identity confirmed, remaining time: thirty-six hours. The words on the stele are the same.

After taking a deep breath, he withdrew his hand and walked to the front of the stairs.

As soon as he stepped up the stairs, time would begin to record. After the thirty-six hours were over, the formation full of spiritual veins would send him back directly.

So, he stepped into the first step.

At this moment, the soles of his feet felt the aura washed by all the things in front of him, and the aura under this staircase was so rich that Dongfang Shuo felt as if he had stepped into the water.

"Why can't you feel it at all above the stairs?" Dongfang Shuo muttered to himself, "Could it be that there is an enchantment at the entrance of the staircase that isolates the flow of spiritual energy?"

After all, opening such a big hole to build a staircase is naturally to prevent the aura from being exposed.

After a pause, Dongfang Shuo continued to walk down. As his body gradually sank to the ground, he felt that he was slowly sinking into the water made of spiritual energy, until the spiritual energy flooded the top of his head, and he only felt the rich spiritual energy pouring into his body from the veins on its own, making him only feel an indescribable sense of comfort.

As he continued to go deeper, his surroundings remained bright.

Finally, he came to the bottom.

He looked down the corridor and could see a distance of twenty or thirty feet, but further away it was only darkness.

At this time, only the corridor was excavated, and no masonry was laid.

The rich aura of heaven and earth made him still want to sit down on the spot and start cultivating directly.

But reason told him it wasn't the best place yet.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, he continued on his way.

I don't know when some spirit crystal ore began to be scattered around my feet.

Once refined, they become spirit crystals.

Spirit crystals are naturally produced in the land where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is strong, and it is not surprising that you can see these here. And the sixth prince also warned Dongfang Shuo that he must not touch the spirit crystal with his hands, otherwise the formation will be triggered. That is, anti-theft measures in the spiritual veins.

And as Dongfang Shuo went deeper and deeper, the aura around his body became more and more intense at a speed that his body could easily perceive.

This level has even far exceeded the two spiritual veins in the mountains and rivers diagram.

This is the spiritual vein community in the spirit realm!

Finally, the boundary around Dongfang Shuo became open, and the spirit crystal ore everywhere also illuminated everything as far as Dongfang Shuo's eyes could see.

This is a natural hollow, an underground space formed by the accumulation of countless spiritual veins. And the void has roads leading to the outside world in all directions, and those roads are also spiritual veins, connecting other voids.

And this should be the place where the aura of heaven and earth is the strongest.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo, who was about to sit down, found something, and after being stunned for a moment, he approached.

It was a texture on the stone wall, but it was not natural, it was artificially carved.

Those are...... Writing.

Moreover, it is not the script used in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, but the .......

Earth characters, kanji!

Dongfang Shuo gasped!
