Chapter 3O: The Temple of the True Spirit
"I don't know what to say, but I just said a few words and then it turned to ashes......" Fire Phoenix said a little sadly.
"Ash ......?" Nie Lingfeng was puzzled: "Why will it turn into ashes?" ”
"Because she taught me to speak, but I was so stupid that a ball of flame erupted from my mouth......" At this, the Fire Phoenix's tone became visibly low.
"I see!" Only then did Nie Lingfeng understand why the fire phoenix could speak human language, but who was the person who taught it to speak? Could it be that she is the master of this True Spirit World? However, if she was the master of this True Spirit World, how could she be killed by a newly hatched demon beast?
"This is the portrait of that man!" At this time, the fire phoenix suddenly conjured up a picture in the dark, it was a very beautiful woman, which made people think that she was very gentle and kind, but she was wearing the clothes of a maid.
"Is this woman just a maid?" Nie Lingfeng thought a little puzzled, and then took a few steps back vigilantly, he was not afraid that the Fire Phoenix would attack him, but that the Fire Phoenix would inadvertently spew out another mouthful of innate true fire and turn himself into ashes!
"I've been so lonely for tens of thousands of years!" When the fire phoenix said this, he suddenly raised his head and let out a long roar, and said happily: "Now that I have you, I finally have a companion!" ”
"Holy!" Nie Lingfeng secretly cursed in his heart, if he stayed to be its companion, I was afraid that in a few days, he would be like that maid and turn into ashes.
"Don't worry!" Seeing that Nie Lingfeng was silent, the Fire Phoenix hurriedly said, "I have been able to restrain my breath, and now, I will definitely not hurt you!" ”
"Oh!" Nie Lingfeng nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then do you know what is in this palace?" ”
"I can only go to the back garden to eat some spiritual grass and drink some fairy dew, I can't go anywhere else!" The Fire Phoenix shook his head very humanely as Nie Lingfeng shook his head, "It's really strange. Some of the doors are open, but I can't enter,......"
"You go to the back garden first and wait, I'll go to those halls and have a look!" Nie Lingfeng was afraid that he would be inadvertently killed by the Fire Phoenix, so he persuaded it to go to the back garden first and wait for him.
And the fire phoenix finally met a "partner". Although he was reluctant, he flapped his wings and left.
After Nie Lingfeng lit up in the courtyard, he cautiously walked in, and what caught his eye was the huge eggshell, which was half a meter thick, and there was no reaction when he punched it, which showed that the hardness of this eggshell was almost equivalent to that of an ordinary spiritual weapon!
Nie Lingfeng didn't bother with the eggshell, but looked around, only to see a small room on the side of the courtyard. It looks like a place where the servants of a large family live.
Nie Lingfeng first walked towards the small house.
"Huh? Formation? Nie Lingfeng was immediately overjoyed, this formation was actually from the same person as the formation mage arranged at the entrance of the main hall, that is to say, this formation was very simple and rough, because he had already mastered this formation, so he simply entered this room.
Entering the house, Nie Lingfeng found that it was empty. There is only one futon on the ground, and there are a few jade tubes next to the futon.
He sat on the futon very curiously, and then picked up the jade tube on the ground. Suddenly, a fragrant breath slowly hit, this is the breath left by the girl, although tens of thousands of years have passed, but, because of the protection of the formation. The contents were not damaged at all, as if someone had just left.
Reaching into his divine sense, Nie Lingfeng found that the jade cylinder in his hand was the foundation for the entry of a formation. Moreover, the foundation of this formation is completely different from the formation he has learned before. Of course, everything is the same, but after looking at the foundation of the formation at the beginning, Nie Lingfeng has mastered the layout of several simple formations, if he wants to break the outermost empty formation by himself now, maybe he can complete it with a raise of his hand.
After thinking that each hall gate behind him was protected by a formation, Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but immerse himself in this formation foundation, he knew that this thing was definitely useful to himself, as long as he mastered this formation method, then the journey behind would be much simpler!
An hour later, Nie Lingfeng put down the jade cylinder in his hand, speaking of which, these are all basic formations, and he already has a very high formation foundation, so it is very simple to learn, and he will completely master it in a while.
So, he picked up the second jade tube, which was a jade tube that introduced the maid to raise the fire phoenix, and it seemed that she wanted to sort out the breeding experience and give it to her master.
"How is this possible?" After looking at it for a while, Nie Lingfeng couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the cultivation of this maid was around the Jindan stage, and the lifespan of the fire phoenix was almost the same as that of heaven and earth, ...... lifespan.
However, as Nie Lingfeng slowly looked down, he suddenly woke up, it turned out that this maid was not the only one in this palace at that time, but there were monks in every palace! Of course, the maid only mentioned that the master had arranged for her to stay behind and then left, but no one in the palace was allowed to leave her sphere of activity without permission.
Moreover, Nie Lingfeng also knew from the jade cylinder that since this fire phoenix didn't understand the formation, as long as it was a simple formation, it could be trapped, and even, because this fire phoenix's temperament was more "kind and persistent", so it could not be practiced with a spirit pet agreement, and could only be contacted with feelings.
However, Nie Lingfeng also found out that it was because this maid was too "spoiled" to the fire phoenix, so the young fire phoenix inadvertently killed her.
As for the remaining jade cylinder, it was the maid's own practice, and it was also a Jindan period exercise, so it was useless to herself, so Nie Lingfeng directly destroyed it.
After searching around again, Nie Lingfeng didn't find anything else except for a few female cultivators' clothes found in a cupboard, so he walked out of the hut and walked towards the main hall in front.
When I came to the bottom of the main hall, I looked up and saw that the plaque on it read "Reception Hall".
"Hehe, this palace is quite exquisite, the outside is the welcome hall, here is the reception hall, what is the back?" Nie Lingfeng was about to study the formation of the guest hall, when suddenly, the transmission of the fire phoenix was discovered in his divine sense.
It waited impatiently. Come to yourself.
Nie Lingfeng hurriedly replied and ran towards the back garden, he also wanted to see what the fairy spirit grass and fairy dew in the mouth of the fire phoenix were.
Coming to a huge garden covering an area of about 100 acres on the side, Nie Lingfeng was surprised to find that the entire garden was actually full of immortal spiritual energy, and the rich aura in it was almost equivalent to the best spirit stone. In other words, there must be a top-grade spiritual vein buried under this garden, or even more than one!
As for the fairy fruit and fairy spirit grass in the garden, Nie Lingfeng was even more dumbfounded, although the fire phoenix had a very small amount of food, but more than half of the fairy spirit grass had disappeared, and there were only some small shoots on the ground, but from which shoots Nie Lingfeng had identified high-grade fairy spirit grasses such as spirit gathering grass and soul returning grass!
"What a waste! O loser! Nie Lingfeng hurriedly rushed to the fairy spirit grass that had not yet been eaten and took a closer look. But he only found three 10,000-year-old soul rejuvenating grasses in it, but he found some superb fairy spirit grasses, of course, the rest of the spirit grasses were very precious, but Nie Lingfeng couldn't be insatiable, and he couldn't cut off the fire phoenix's rations. Therefore, he only stopped after collecting a few spirit grasses. Then he looked towards the Fire Phoenix.
"What do you want all this grass for?" The fire phoenix is very strange, these grasses are all for themselves to be food, why does this human being regard it as a treasure?
"Hehe, these spirit grasses are very useful to me!" Nie Lingfeng didn't explain too much, because even if he did, he felt that the Fire Phoenix couldn't understand it. So, ask directly, "Have you met any other humans here?" ”
"No,......" Fire Phoenix shook his head, then raised his head and said, "Then you can see if those fairy dews are of any use?" Anyway, now I'm not eating anything! ”
"You're not eating?" Nie Lingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "That is to say." You don't need any of these spirit grasses? ”
"Hmmm! Take it all if you like! I haven't eaten Spirit Grass in over 3,000 years......"
"More than 3,000 years?" Hearing this, Nie Lingfeng walked towards the place of the fairy dew and said strangely: "But, how can these young shoots ......?" ”
"Shoots?" The Fire Phoenix glanced at the small shoots on the ground, and then said, "They grow very slowly, I'm afraid it will take tens of thousands of years to mature!" ”
"For what?" Nie Lingfeng wondered, "Could it be that the time here is different from the outside?" ”
"It's different, I don't know the Dao, I only know that the Dao here is too full of immortal aura, so the spiritual grass grows very slowly!"
"What kind of logic is this?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help frowning, it stands to reason that the more abundant the immortal spiritual qi, the faster the spiritual grass will grow, what is the opposite for the sake of here? However, Nie Lingfeng didn't want to understand the reason for this, so he just looked down at the spring in front of him.
"Ten Thousand Years Essence?" When Nie Lingfeng saw the viscous spring water, he immediately exclaimed.
"That's it, I used to drink a lot, but today, I don't drink anymore!" The fire phoenix said very generously: "If you need it, then take it!" ”
"Great! This is an invincible treasure that has been promoted to purify the aura! Nie Lingfeng immediately took out a big gourd, this was still the gourd that contained the life-sustaining golden pill back then, and he immediately filled a gourd full of 10,000-year-old essence.
Just as he was about to look for the item to fill this 10,000-year-old essence again, Nie Lingfeng suddenly stopped, was he stupid? If the sacrifice is successful, this True Spirit World will be your own, why should you be so greedy?
Thinking of this, Nie Lingfeng himself first took a sip of the essence of ten thousand years, and then crossed his knees on the ground, wanting to recover the cultivation he had lost in these days.
But he didn't want to, Nie Lingfeng sat for a day and a night, and after getting up, he suddenly found that he was only one foot away from the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage! In other words, after this day and night of cultivation, after the refining of this 10,000-year essence, his cultivation has stabilized in one fell swoop from the top grade that has just stepped into the Yuan Infant Stage, and has begun to hit the bottleneck of the peak!
"This is an invincible baby!" Nie Lingfeng sighed, immediately said goodbye to the poor phoenix, and promised to come back soon, and then strode outside.
Nie Lingfeng didn't dare to let Qin Zihan and the others enter this welcoming hall, after all, if the fire phoenix started a fire, Dong Lao Wei would be wiped out immediately, so he just recruited them into the small garden outside the welcoming hall, where not only was there a large amount of immortal qi to support, but also. There are still a lot of spirit grasses, and now, coupled with the 10,000-year essence he gave, he believes that it won't take much time for Dong Laowei, Qin Zihan, Hua Ruyan, and even the cultivation of Jin Zhuang and Bone Dragon to make great progress!
In order to prevent them from accidentally alarming the fire phoenix, or the fire phoenix accidentally rushing out of the canon to scare them. Nie Lingfeng still arranged the formation outside the welcoming hall, and then came back to the door of the reception hall.
And when he felt that Nie Lingfeng was back, the fire phoenix immediately came behind Nie Lingfeng like a bird, and followed him closely, for fear that this playmate would disappear!
To tell the truth, the cultivation of this fire phoenix is now the same as that of human beings, and Nie Lingfeng doesn't know the Dao, but he only knows the Dao. I can't see through its cultivation, that is to say, the fire phoenix is at least equivalent to a master above the ascension stage of a human being.
Since he learned that he couldn't subdue the Fire Phoenix, he could only use his feelings to attract the Fire Phoenix's dependence, so Nie Lingfeng had no choice but to take the time to communicate with the Fire Phoenix while studying the formation in front of him.
Because he had the foundation of the formation, the formation of the Reception Hall was quickly cracked. Nie Lingfeng walked into the reception hall. Only then did I realize that there were six meeting rooms in it. He searched one by one, and found only a lifelike corpse in the backmost living room.
Because the immortal aura in this is very strong, and it is protected by the formation, the monk is like he has just died. Nie Lingfeng silently checked it, this person's cultivation had already reached the Yuan Infant Stage during his lifetime, but except for Da Luo Jin Xian, anyone who had been in such a long time could only turn into a pile of dry bones.
The monk had a storage bag on his body. However, except for a few pieces of clothing, there was nothing left inside, not even spirit stones and magic weapons.
Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be disappointed, what kind of place is this, why are the monks here so poor?
After passing through dozens of halls such as Changle Palace, Changxin Palace, Wuding Palace, Yanqiu Palace, Yongshou Palace, Yongning Palace, Linhai Palace, Guangyang Palace, and Changting Palace, Nie Lingfeng only found the body of a monk in each hall, and never found anything else, not even a spirit stone.
Of course, this formation breaking time is not short, although Nie Lingfeng's formation cultivation has already risen qualitatively, but it will take a few months for ordinary people to complete these palaces. And cracking the formation requires both divine sense and mana cooperation, therefore, whenever Nie Lingfeng is short of mana and divine sense, he will be taken back to the front garden by the fire phoenix, take a sip of "fairy dew" and pick a few pieces of fresh spiritual grass, and then cultivate, in this way, his strength has grown rapidly, and he will soon stabilize his cultivation at the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage.
And after passing through the Changting Palace, Nie Lingfeng was suddenly attracted by the hall in front of him, and saw three big words written on it: "Shendan Palace"!
"Divine Pill Temple?" Nie Lingfeng shouted in surprise, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed directly towards the main hall.
Since Nie Lingfeng already had the experience of breaking the formation in the front, these formations in the back were even more difficult to crack, but at tea time, Nie Lingfeng rushed into the hall.
He was fantasizing at this time, there were so many high-grade spirit grasses in here, once there was any precious elixir here, which could allow him to break through the Tribulation Period in one fell swoop, it would be good!
However, the gap between reality and reality was too great, after Nie Lingfeng entered the hall, he only found the body of a monk in a few separate small halls on the side of the main hall, and he didn't even see the shadow of a single pill.
The monk was an old man in a green robe, dressed differently from the rest of the room, and seemed to be a high-ranking attendant such as a steward or butler.
"Could it be that the name of this temple is just a divine pill?" Nie Lingfeng looked around secretly suspiciously, and just as he was about to leave in despair, suddenly, the Fire Phoenix, who had been silently following him, said, "It's a little special there!" ”
"What?" Nie Lingfeng followed the guidance of the Fire Phoenix, but was shocked to find that there was a place behind the dead monk that was a little different from the surroundings.
Nie Lingfeng stretched out his hand and pressed it, but he was bounced back.
"Forbidden? Is there a ban here? Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be shocked.
Since your body can't enter, let's test it with your divine sense!
Thinking of this, Nie Lingfeng's divine sense was quietly released, and he immediately sensed a prohibition like a wall blocking his eyes, but maybe it was because the time was too long, or maybe this prohibition was too simple, so Nie Lingfeng felt that it was not difficult to crack! Therefore, he immediately took out the Han Jiao Sword.
However, after seeing Nie Lingfeng take out the Han Jiao Sword, the Fire Phoenix suddenly screamed, so frightened that Nie Lingfeng hurriedly put away the Han Jiao Sword and leaned against the wall, for fear that the Fire Phoenix would suddenly go crazy and attack him.
"Don't use that thing!" The fire phoenix suddenly said to Nie Lingfeng: "I don't like that kind of cold aura!" And, once you break the ban, then, everything inside is ruined! ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Nie Lingfeng suddenly said strangely: "Do you know how to break the ban?" ”
"I don't understand!" The Fire Phoenix shook his head and said, "However, my divine sense can see the contents clearly, once you break the prohibition, the contents will be shattered......"
"What's in there?" Nie Lingfeng said strangely. (To be continued......)
