Chapter 70: Rewarding

The pitch-black cave stretched into the distance, and the faint light at the end loomed, and Zuo Feng couldn't help but be happy when he saw this faint light, and couldn't help but start to speed up his pace.

Although it didn't seem far away, it wasn't close to walking, and a fact appeared that made him very depressed. From a distance, as the whole environment was shrouded in darkness, he didn't realize that it was a steep slope that was gently sloping upward, and that the slope was getting steeper and steeper.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also a reasonable thing, I fell from the trap over there, judging from the time of falling, it should have fallen almost dozens of feet high. It's normal for the secret room to be underground, but if the secret room is also built dozens of feet underground, it is a bit unreasonable.

The amount of work to dig out the chamber at such a depth is too large, and it takes a lot of time to enter and exit the chamber every time you enter it, so it makes more sense to build the chamber not far from the ground.

In this way, the existence of this steep and large uphill slope in front of him seems to be extremely normal, but every step taken by the left wind will be accompanied by a sharp pain like a tear in the thigh. He also tried to focus on observing his surroundings, and if he had any mechanism in his current situation, he would have been as lucky as he had been last time.

The bright cave was getting closer and closer, and the slippery cave made it extremely difficult for him to walk, and it took him nearly an hour to finally finish the steep journey.

The entrance to the cave in front of me is very different from the one where I fell before, and the hole in this place is obviously artificially repaired, and the place where I fell before looks like a natural cave. There was not much interest in these Left Winds, after all, this place had been occupied by bandits before he was born, and it was not surprising that there was such a magical natural cave.

Walking into the hole, he realized that this was a corridor, and there were several spiritual stones on the walls of the corridor, and the light that Zuo Feng saw was emitted by them.

He had only heard of this stone before, and he hadn't seen it with his own eyes because it was so valuable. At this time, I looked carefully at the wall, and every few zhang away, there was an emerald stone the size of an adult's eye carved into the wall. Zuo Feng had heard that this kind of spiritual light stone was also divided into grades, and the higher the level, the greater the brightness and the lighter the color.

The emerald green aura stone in front of him should be regarded as the lowest grade of goods, but even this lowest-grade aura stone may be enough for the expenses of Zuojia Village and the whole village for more than half a year.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng took out a dagger and carefully dug out the aura stone from the wall. The corridor was not very long, there were only five spiritual stones in total, and he left one in his hand to illuminate, and the other spiritual stones were already in his arms at this time.

Holding the aura stone in your hand in front of you can illuminate the distance of about three zhang in front of you. Although not as fierce as the torch light, this spiritual stone is easy to carry and not afraid of rain, and it does not need to be replaced as often as a torch for a long time.

At this time, Zuo Feng was even more looking forward to the things stored here, a thief's lair was illuminated with such a precious spiritual stone, and the items stored in it should naturally be more precious.

On one side of this corridor is a rough stone wall, and on the other side are three heavy stone gates, which are made of exactly the same material as the surrounding stone walls, and are probably made directly from mountain stones when digging caves here.

After Zuo Feng took a closer look, he found that this stone door did not have any device similar to a door lock at all. It's just that this stone gate is very thick, and if you want to push it open, you can only look at the door and sigh if you don't have a certain strength.

He tried to push Shimen with all his strength, but Shimen only trembled slightly. Zuo Feng unwillingly tried to push the door hard again, and there was immediately a tearing pain in his leg. Zuo Feng didn't dare to push the door harder, if the wound that had just been stitched up was torn open, I am afraid that not only will he not recover in a short time, but I am afraid that there will be hidden injuries that are difficult to recover from on his legs.

Abandoning the method of using brute force to open the stone door, Zuo Feng looked around the hallway to see if there were any mechanisms that could easily open the stone door. After searching for a long time, I was sure of one thing, that is, the owner of this place should use pure strength to push the stone door open every time he came to this secret room.

After some investigation to no avail, Zuo Feng returned to the first stone door and sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, wanting to leave without feeling a little unwilling. I don't know how much risk I took that night, and I almost died in the trap before, for this secret place. When you are really here, you are blocked by this damn stone gate in front of you, but what can you do if you don't leave, you can't just sit here and wait for the injury on your leg to recover.

Shaking his head and sighing, he suppressed the reluctance in his heart and prepared to get up and find a way out to leave. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he touched a hard object on his calf. When it was pulled out, through the faint light of the spiritual stone, it could be seen that it was a short blade with a pitch-black body.

When Zuo Feng was about to get up and leave, the short blade in his calf hit his ankle. Only then did Zuo Feng suddenly remember that he still had such a strong short blade, so he still had a way that he hadn't tried.

Zuo Feng used the thin part of the tip of the short blade to thrust into the gap in the stone door. This time he didn't dare to push the door like he had just done, but sat on the ground like this, using his butt as a point of force and support, his left hand against the stone door and slightly pressed forward, and his right hand clenched the short blade and lifted it upwards with force.

The two forces seem to be used in different directions, but after acting on the stone gate in front of them, they both converge into a force that pushes inward. This time, after trembling slightly, the stone gate slowly opened with a piercing "click" sound.

To Zuo Feng's relief, the stone door was not equipped with an automatic closing device, so he didn't need to worry about the stone door closing automatically after pushing the door open.

The stone door slowly opened, and the scenery inside gradually came into his eyes. In fact, you don't need to look at it with your eyes, you just need to use his nose, and the smell of herbs is very strong.

Zuo Feng was unable to practice refining his body that year, and all of his time was spent refining the method of developing medicines. At this time, the familiar smell of herbs couldn't help but make him shiver, and his spirit was also shocked, and his excitement was overflowing.

Medicinal herbs are very useful at any time and place, and they will be exchanged for a lot of money whether they are used by themselves or in the auction house in the bazaar. There is only one spiritual stone in this stone room, and there are four sets of large cabinets from the faint light.

The large cabinets are made of gold wire green wood with excellent moisture insulation, which can not only isolate moisture in such a humid underground, but also maintain a certain temperature, so that the medicinal effect always maintains the best effect. These big cabinets were drooling when they saw Zuo Feng, and they couldn't wait to move this medicine cabinet directly with the medicinal materials inside.

Looking along the outermost cabinet, some relatively cheap medicinal herbs were scattered outside, and what Zuo Feng smelled when he pushed the door was actually these cheap medicinal herbs. At this time, when I saw a cabinet of good medicinal materials, how could I pay attention to those unsightly resistant medicinal materials.

After a little silence, Zuo Feng took out the black short blade again, picked a few cabinets among them, and pried them down with a dagger. Then he cut down a few more planks and made five large wooden boxes in three or two clicks. The precious herbs in these cabinets are sorted and stored in five large wooden boxes that they have made, and then they are rolled up with cloth and tied around their waists.

After doing all this, Zuo Feng breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly glanced up at the spiritual light stone on the wall, smiled slightly and murmured: "Hehe, since you have taken it all, let's be thorough." As he spoke, he raised his hand and picked off the spiritual stone on the wall and put it in his arms, and then left the stone room satisfied.

When he went out, Zuo Feng also glanced at the stone door suspiciously, he couldn't figure out how the owner of this secret room closed the stone door, but this was not the time for him to study these.

Then he came to the door of the second stone chamber, still learning the previous method, sat on the ground, took out a dagger, and began to push and pry for a long time, and then opened the stone door. This time, there was no aroma of medicinal herbs after the stone door was opened, but a slight musty smell came out.

Zuo Feng's heart couldn't help but sink slightly, and he was still scolding secretly in his heart: "This group of people won't let the medicinal materials rot like this, then they should all be dragged out and cut down." ”

Just as he was thinking that the door was opening wider and wider, and the things inside were completely in view, a spiritual stone in the room emitted a faint light. There are also four sets of large cabinets, but these four groups of large cabinets are bookshelves used to put books.

Seeing the books on the shelves, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up slightly. He had already guessed what most of the books on the shelves were. When I came to the first shelf, I took a copy of it, and when I looked at it, it was written "Medium-grade Alchemy", followed by a line of small words: "Practitioners can go from the strengthening stage to the late stage of bone refining".

frowned slightly, it's not that this book is bad, but that this book is a bit chicken for Zuo Feng. It's not useful to him at all, but if a book of this level is put on the market, I'm afraid it will also make many martial artists break their heads to compete, after all, the alchemy technique that can be practiced from strengthening the body to the late stage of bone refining is not common in the market.

Usually, even if there is, it will be left for their juniors to practice, and in any case, it can be taken back to give the young people in the village another choice. Thinking like this, Zuo Feng flipped through a few more books on this shelf, and found that they were all exercises and methods of the body refining period, and there were no books for the qi refining period, so he stepped to the next bookshelf. I took down a book casually, and the handwriting on it was already a little blurry, but I could vaguely recognize "Middle-grade fifth-order long sword martial arts, Breaking Waves Roundabout Chop".

After putting it back, I took a copy and looked at it, "Medium-grade eighth-order double whip martial arts, spirit snake sixteen styles". After understanding what kind of books this bookshelf was, and not stopping to read the remaining two bookshelves, he already had a general understanding of the books in this stone room.

The first bookshelf is the method of refining the body, the second bookshelf is martial arts, the third bookshelf is some cultivation experience, and the third bookshelf is some mainland anecdotes. Although the books in this stone chamber are not priceless, they are not inferior to the value of the medicinal materials in the stone chamber next to them.

After carefully rummaging through the third set of bookshelves, Zuo Feng really found a book of primary medicine refining experience, which also recorded several prescriptions.

While Zuo Feng was happy in his heart, his mind had already flown towards the last stone room.
