To be honest, Qin Lin didn't expect anything from the "Shengling Ruins".

Because it's a legend.

It is a legend that he often heard people mention in his previous life when he was in the Wudi family.

At that time, Qin Lin was unable to cultivate martial arts due to strange meridians, so his interest in "ruins" was limited to a legendary story.

But Emperor Wu, who grew up with Qin Lin, was happy to die and wanted to find this "relic".

Before inheriting the throne of Emperor Wu, the young Emperor Wu once told Qin Lin that if he could find the "Shengling Ruins", it would be a trivial matter to get the Demon Heart Sword, and if he could get Shengling's "Instrument Soul Record", then he would be truly proud of the world.

"Instrument Soul Record" is the essence of Shengling's lifelong refining skills.

In fact, whether it is the "Demon Heart Sword" or "The Soul Record", it is just an ancient story passed down by word of mouth in the world, and no one knows if it really exists.

But the young Emperor Wu was very persistent about this.

Because since the day the young Emperor Wu was born, he was destined to have talents and resources far beyond the world in martial arts practice.

In addition, the Young Martial Emperor had a top alchemist like Qin Lin as his companion.

Therefore, Emperor Wu believed that as long as he could master the immortal "refining weapon" technique, he would be a truly transcendent god.

However, now it is Qin Lin who really has the opportunity to become a "god".

Qin Lin suppressed the expectation in his heart, although he did not have expectations for the "ruins", but the emotions of anticipation could not be avoided.

"Sakura Mirror can find "The Secret of Shengling", that at least shows that part of the legend is true, Master Shengling did come to the end of the world from the Central Plains, and the so-called end of the world should refer to the remote and barren Western Continent. ”

Qin Lin thought so, and followed closely behind the cherry blossom mirror.

If the cave is a ruin, then you can find the Demon Heart Sword and the Soul Record.

In this way, Qin Lin will become the first person in history to have the dual identity of "alchemist" and "refiner", plus he also has the "Soul Yuan Xuantian Decision" of the Martial Emperor family.

Martial arts, elixir, and artifacts are undoubtedly the three major elements of becoming a "god".

"Big brother, Qin Lin, where are you going?"

Just as Qin Lin and Sakura Mirror were about to step out of the gate of the mountain city, Sakura Xin's crisp voice came with the wind.

"Little Sister ......"

There was a hint of nervousness in the cherry blossom mirror.

Obviously, he didn't want to tell Sakura Shin the secrets of the cave.

As for the reason, Qin Lin didn't know and didn't care.

"Xiao Xin, your brother and I are going out to do something big, so you can stay where you are cool. ”

Qin Lin said unceremoniously.

"No, where are you going, take me with you. ”

Sakura Xin took small steps and quickly came to Qin Lin.

When she was coquettish, her eyes didn't look at the cherry blossom mirror at all, but stared at Qin Lin tightly, as if she was afraid that Qin Lin would disappear in front of her eyes.

"Your cultivation is too low, and it will be a burden to take you out!"

Qin Lin said in a disgusted tone.

However, Sakura Xin didn't care about Qin Lin's dislike of her, but showed an alert expression.

"You're in danger of going out?"

She said: "Why do you have to go out when you go out when you are in danger, and it is only the two of you who go out, you should bring some more disciples out together, so that it is safe." ”

As she spoke, Sakura Xin had already stretched out her slender arm and held Qin Lin's arm tightly.

This made Qin Lin's mood frustrated.

He originally wanted to use an unfriendly attitude to make Sakura Xin retreat, but who would have thought that the girl would not retreat, but instead looked worried, and grabbed her arm.

"There was no danger for us to go out. ”

Qin Lin explained.

"There is no danger, why do you say that my cultivation is low, it is a burden? You must be going to fight, so you will dislike me and dislike low. ”

The girl was right-hearted.

The cherry blossom mirror on the side was a little dumbfounded.

In his eyes, his sister is a little fool who loves to be spoiled, but now, his thoughts are so quick - is this "heart for love"?

"Little sister, the eldest brother just went down the valley with Brother Lin, and there was no danger. ”

Sakura Mirror explained.

"No, you either take me with you, or bring some more disciples. ”

The girl's worries intensified.

Seeing this, Qin Lin naturally took a step back and handed over the responsibility of getting rid of the girl to Sakura Mirror.

But if you think about it, you should know that Sakura Mirror has always had no way to get her sister.

Eventually, he allowed the girl to follow and go to the cave with them.

After all, it's better to tell the secret to the girl than to let the other disciples know.

After a stick of incense, the three of them had come to the bank of a clear river at the bottom of the valley.

It is said that it is a clear river, but it is not much wider than a stream.

"Walk along this small river, into the woods in the valley, and you will see a stone monument. ”

Sakura Kagami said as she led the way.

Qin Lin didn't say much along the way, and it could even be described as complete silence.

He was suppressing the anticipation in his heart.

But when he saw the stone tablet mentioned by the cherry blossom mirror, his emotions could no longer be suppressed.

I couldn't help but excitedly call out: "Really, really!"

"What really?"

The two siblings were surprised by Qin Lin's reaction.

Qin Lin didn't have time to explain, and his footsteps quickly came to the black stone tablet that was more than a foot high.

The stele is engraved with the words "Kui Skull".

Because it is engraved in ancient characters, the cherry blossom mirror has never recognized the meaning of these three words.

In fact, even if it is not in ancient texts, the cherry blossom mirror may not be recognized, this is the relics left by Master Shengling.

Because in today's world, almost no one knows that Master Shengling is from the Kui Skull Clan, and the Kui Skull Clan has died out as early as the Middle Ages and does not exist in the world.

If it weren't for the ancient books circulating in the Martial Emperor family, Qin Lin would not have known that there was once a powerful clan called "Kui Skull" on the Tianxuan Continent.

"What kind of pattern is this, so strange?"

The girl followed Qin Lin to the stone tablet.

In her eyes, the words on the stele were similar to the depictions, or rather, like ghost drawings.

Qin Lin chuckled and didn't give any explanation.

Continue to follow the cherry blossom mirror and walk in the direction of the cave.

Along the way, Sakura Mirror was thinking about how to explain the "Scorching Sun Heart Formula" to the girl, but now, he didn't need to explain, because the girl had no impression of the cave.

The cave is under an ancient well in the middle of the trees.

When Qin Lin was going down the ancient well, he found that there were a lot of ancient characters engraved on the wall of the well.

The general meaning is the life account of Master Shengling.

Qin Lin didn't look closely, just skimmed.

After entering the cave, there are also many inscriptions on the rock wall of the long stone road.

These are ancient scripts.

It was not until they reached a large space in the center of the cave that the ancient characters disappeared and became recognizable to today's humans.

This surprised Qin Lin.

In fact, in front of the stone stele, when he found that Sakura Mirror didn't know ancient texts, he was already wondering how Sakura Mirror recognized the content of "The Secret of Shengling".

But when he got here, he saw that on the rock wall, Douda's current text was engraved with the content of the secret, Qin Lin solved his doubts about the cherry blossom mirror, but he had a deeper question.

"The age of Shengling's life is at least 10,000 years ago, and at that time there were only ancient texts, and there were absolutely no modern texts. ”

Qin Lin was thinking about it when he heard the voice of the cherry blossom mirror greeting him.

"Brother Lin, come and see, this is the content of the sixth stage and the ninth stage. ”

Sakura Mirror's eyes flickered greedily at the mutilated text, he was too eager to decipher the full contents of the secret.

Qin Lin walked up to him.

The mutilated words did not have much attraction to Qin Lin.

In fact, the entire "Secret of Shengling" has no value to Qin Lin.

Because, the "Ascension Formula" recorded in the "Soul Yuan Xuantian Decision" has completely strengthened the secret.

There are a total of nine stages of ascending to the top of the formula.

Each stage of cultivation can double the cultivation speed of the cultivator.

In other words, after completing nine stages of cultivation, Qin Lin would be able to make his cultivation speed nine times faster than that of ordinary people.

You must know that an important criterion for evaluating whether a martial artist has martial arts talent is the speed of cultivation.

Nine times the speed of ordinary people, only the most rebellious god-level talent can do it.

"Brother Lin, can you find a way to piece together the complete content?"

The cherry blossom mirror looks eager.

Qin Lin pretended to be thoughtful.

Then he said, "It should be possible, it just takes some time." ”

"How long?"

"It's hard to say, it's going to take at least a few days. ”

Qin Lin smiled, and then added: "Otherwise, Brother Jing, and Xiao Xin, you two go back first, and I will find a way to piece together all the content in this cave alone." ”

"This ......"

Sakura mirrors look hesitant.

He believed Qin Lin 100%, because there was really no reason to doubt Qin Lin.

So his hesitation has nothing to do with trust, but with some reluctance.

He was embarrassed to leave Qin Lin here alone.

But as the master of the Scorching Sun Gate, it was impossible for Sakura Mirror to stay in the cave to accompany Qin Lin for several days in a row, so Qin Lin's advice to him was appropriate, and he should go back first.

"You're alone in this cold hole?

Compared with the cherry blossom mirror's "not going", the girl is completely reluctant to leave Qin Lin.

She looked at her surroundings and said stubbornly, "I'll stay with you, otherwise you will be bored here alone." ”

Qin Lin wanted to refuse, because he didn't want the secret of the "ruins" to be known by outsiders.

But if you think about it, what kind of personality is Sakura Shin?

She is like a child who has not grown up, and sometimes she is so childish and willful that she wants to slap her, so it is very difficult to drive her away.

And sometimes, she can be very considerate.

At least Qin Lin wasn't blind, and he also knew that Sakura Xin had been grateful since the wounds on her face healed, or rather, she had other special feelings in her heart.

"The ruins let her know that it shouldn't matter. ”

Qin Lin chose to believe that Sakura Xin would keep the secret, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay if you want, but you can't bother me to piece together the secret." ”

"Good, good!"

The girl smiled.

For the next day and night, Qin Lin did fulfill his duty and piece together all the secrets for the cherry blossom mirror.

Because he already knew the entire content of the "Shengling Jue", it was not difficult to piece together the fragmented words.

A day later, he had completed the task.

After that comes the real excavation, the secrets of the ruins.
