Chapter 109: The Secret of the Temple of Inquiry (1)
"Third Elder, the old man remembers that you have some good prescriptions and fighting skills, since this increased competition was proposed by you, then there must be a certainty of victory, in that case, why not take it out as a bet?" Seeing that the three elders kept pushing and shoving, the patriarch of the medicine clan frowned, and couldn't help but speak.
"Hehe, it is estimated that the third elder has something unspeakable, and Xiao is reluctant to make it difficult. I don't know how many high-level demon cores the three elders plan to produce? Xiao Yan glanced at the patriarch of the medicine clan gratefully, and his heart was very moved. But he was moved, but he didn't dare to let the ancestor continue, so he quickly pulled back to the high-level demon core.
Xiao Yan is not too short of prescriptions and fighting skills, but the demand for high-grade demon cores is like a bottomless pit that makes him feel a deep headache, not only himself, but also Nan Erming, Ziying, Langtian, and even Qing Mu'er, in addition, refining high-grade pills in the future will also be needed, if the three elders are forced to change their minds, it will be too late to regret it.
The patriarch of the medicine clan was stunned when he heard this, looked at Xiao Yan thoughtfully, and began to feel that he couldn't see through his apprentice.
The onlookers were also surprised, as everyone thought, Xiao Yan was not a member of the demon clan, no matter how good this demon core was, it would definitely not be as good as the prescription and fighting skills.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the three elders who were in an embarrassing situation were relieved, and secretly rejoiced, as if they had picked up a big bargain, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, there are three hundred five-star demon cores and ten six-star demon cores, how about it?" ”
Seeing that the three elders even changed their address to Xiao Yan in a blink of an eye, not only the patriarch of the medicine clan and Xiao Yan, but almost everyone couldn't help but secretly laugh in their hearts.
Xiao Yan waved his hand at the three elders, and his expression paused slightly, before he said, "Less, you have to add more." ”
The third elder glanced at Xiao Yan suspiciously, his expression hesitant.
"In this competition, to be honest, Xiao has almost no chance of winning, and it is completely meaningless to Xiao, because Xiao has already won, so why bother to make trouble for himself? It's not impossible for Xiao to agree, but it's definitely not something that Xiao is interested in betting on three melons and two dates. What's more, this is a gamble, not a give, and who loses and who wins. If the three elders were afraid of losing, why should they increase this competition? Xiao Yan pretended to be indifferent, and even faintly revealed a hint of wanting to retreat.
Nan Erming and Ziying tried their best to keep themselves from laughing, their faces turned red, and the people of the Medicine Clan thought they were worried about Xiao Yan.
The third elder heard the meaning of Xiao Yan's words, and it seemed that if he didn't add some more, he wouldn't plan to accept the competition of adding, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he secretly said in his heart, "Go and ask the heart hall competition, will Yao Lingzi still lose to you?" Add it, you can't lose anyway. ”
Thinking like this, the third elder no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, and pretended to be sad and said, "There are five hundred five-star demon cores and twenty six-star demon cores. ”
The three elders thought that Xiao Yan must agree to this number immediately, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to hesitate not to agree, and he couldn't help but rush into anger--"This is almost all the high-level magic cores that the old man has saved over the past tens of thousands of years!" There was a great sense of reminding Xiao Yan not to go too far.
With a long exhalation, Xiao Yan glanced at the patriarch of the medicine clan, and then his gaze returned to the three elders, as if it was because of the face of the ancestor that he reluctantly agreed, and said: "Okay, for the sake of the sincerity of the three elders, Xiao Yan is better than obeying his fate." ”
Hearing Xiao Yan's response, the heart that the three elders were hanging on fell down. Yao Lingzi secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and his eyes were even colder than before.
In this competition, it is not only the high-level magic core that grandpa has accumulated for countless years, but also the grandfather's face and the family's high hopes for him, so he can only win, not lose. For the first time, Yao Lingzi felt that his heart was so heavy, and he was a little out of breath.

But Xiao Yan felt very cool, it was so cool, he almost didn't cheer.
The patriarch of the medicine clan glanced meaningfully at Xiao Yan, whose face was calm. He knew that his apprentice must have his own ideas when he chose the high-grade demon core as a bet instead of choosing a fighting technique or a prescription, so he didn't ask much, raised his palm slightly, and announced loudly: "If the two of you don't need to rest, then the next step is the comparison of the palace of inquiry." ”
Although he had been prepared in his heart, when he really heard the medicine clan patriarch announce that the competition was about to start and he was about to enter the Hall of Inquiry, Xiao Yan's eyes couldn't help but become hot.
After a short pause, everyone appeared in front of a building in the deepest part of the northwest of the Medicine Clan, led by the patriarch of the Medicine Clan.
The building resembles a temple, with its back to the mountainside, standing in the air, surrounded by patches of ancient trees, which looks very ethereal. The murmuring spring water at the bottom bypasses, which is more quiet and pure against the backdrop of the night, giving people a taste of returning to the basics.
Unlike the other buildings of the medicine family, although it is also made of stone, it is not bluestone, but a stone with a purple metallic luster, and there is a sense of agility in the solidity.
"This is an extremely rare purple star ore, with very little storage, and it has a very haode effect on the preservation and transmission of soul power. The ancestors also occasionally got a mineral vein back then, and it took a lot of effort to build this palace. The patriarch of the medicine clan whispered to Xiao Yan and the others, and his tone was full of pride that could not be concealed.
"To build such a huge hall with such a rare strange stone, the majesty of the ancestors of the medicine clan back then was really extraordinary." Jenny looked up and couldn't help but be amazed.
Praised by the stunning beauty, everyone of the medicine clan suddenly felt that their faces were full of brilliance, and the patriarch of the medicine clan was also proud, pointing to the hall and continuing to introduce: "This hall is the proud work of the ancestors, and it is a great luck for my medicine clan to survive the ancient catastrophe." ”
"The hall is full of the soul imprints of the high-level Dou Emperors of my medicine clan, which are divided into three layers, and they are divided into three layers, which are divided by difficulty. Since the ancient catastrophe, our medicine clan has been declining day by day, and there are fewer and fewer high-level Dou Emperors, so the soul imprints that can stay in this Asking Heart Hall have also begun to decrease, and after years of Asking Hearts, there are not many left. ”
The Patriarch of the Medicine Clan sighed and continued: "The soul imprints of the second layer are all left by the Seven Star Dou Emperor, their soul power is basically at the peak of the Emperor Realm, and there are also a very small number of early stage and late stage of the Emperor Realm, with the soul power of the two of you, you must not activate multiple soul imprints at once; And the soul imprints of the third layer are all left by the Dou Emperor above the eight stars, and their soul power is all above the level, if the soul power is not strong enough to enter the third layer and be entered by it, whether they can answer the question of these soul imprints is still secondary, I am afraid that even a trace of rebuke from the soul imprint is difficult to resist. Therefore, this competition will be held on the second floor, and do not step into the third floor. ”
"Remember, when entering this temple of inquiry, you must stick to your heart, and all creation depends on chance, and whoever stays in it longer will win this competition. Go ahead. The patriarch of the medicine clan turned his head and said to Xiao Yan and Yao Lingzi.
Xiao Yan clenched his fists slightly towards the patriarch of the medicine clan, to thank him for the grace of fate, and then smiled slightly at Zhen Ni, Nan Erming, and Ziying, and then he stepped on the wind and floated towards the Hall of Inquiry.
At this time, Yao Lingzi had already entered the Hall of Inquiry one step ahead of Xiao Yan.
"What's the use of being so uncertain, one step ahead of me!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and the resolute color in his lowered pupils suddenly appeared, and then his figure jumped, and his figure did not enter the Hall of Questioning.
.
Pushing open the heavy two-story door, looking around, the hall was gray and empty, nothing could be seen, nothing was there, at this moment, he was like being in an abandoned place, so desolate that he couldn't help but wonder if he had come to the wrong place.
Chapter 109: The Secret of the Temple of Inquiry (3)
Moreover, as the door slowly closed, as if all contact with the outside world had been cut off, it suddenly became pitch black, as black as thick ink, so black that you couldn't see your fingers, as if there was a giant beast in the hall that would devour all the light.
As a Dou Emperor, although he will be affected by the alternation of day and night, the impact is not great, and it is impossible for him to be blind in both eyes. But now, as a four-star late-stage Dou Emperor, a cultivator who has been tempered by Heavenly Fire and shili is more haode than ordinary Dou Emperor can't see three feet away, how can Xiao Yan not be frightened?
The change came so suddenly, Xiao Yan was completely unprepared, his body stiffened suddenly, and his raised right foot hung there like that, where did he dare to move forward?
"Is it because I haven't adapted for a while?" Xiao Yan secretly guessed. However, he quickly dismissed the speculation. Even if it was only a moment because of the lack of adaptation, but now that several moments have passed, the situation has not changed in the slightest.
He cautiously lowered his raised right foot, stood motionless behind the stone door, and waited quietly.
Xiao Yan thought that as the Temple of Conscience of the Medicine Clan's holy land, there would be lights on later, or something like the Night Pearl that could bring warmth to people's eyes and hearts, at least it would make people feel a little more at ease about this unknown place. However, after a long time, the hall was still dark and deadly silent, only the sound of his own "pounding" heartbeat was particularly clear.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows raised slightly, he was very surprised by this, and felt a little incredible, which made him feel more uneasy and unbelievable than the lack of light.
"I really doubt if this is the Holy Land of the Medicine Clan or the exile of the Medicine Clan." Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Faintly, he felt that this place was very strange, and he had to adjust his mentality as soon as possible in order to deal with all kinds of unpredictable crises in the future. Putting away the uneasiness in his heart, he clenched his fingers, and then slowly relaxed, and the sound of some rapid breathing became slightly smoother with the very rhythmic swallowing.
But just as he felt the exhaled mist pass through the tip of his nose, he suddenly remembered something that made him even more uneasy.
"Where did Yao Lingzi go? I didn't see him as soon as I came in. Xiao Yan's mind flashed through the cold back of Yao Lingzi when he entered the Hall of Questioning, and the emptiness he saw when he first entered the second floor of this hall, only to realize that he had overlooked such an important question.
"Did you be dazzled or didn't notice?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but think about it.
Now that the entire hall is so silent that even his own heartbeat can be heard clearly, why is there no movement of Yao Lingzi? Although the eyes can't see, the ears can always hear, and it is impossible for a big living person to be okay and even hold his breath.
Xiao Yan began to feel a little numb in his scalp and a little chill in his body, and he felt more and more that this hall of inquiry was weird.
"The temple built by the ancestors of the Medicine Clan with the strength of the whole clan is really not simple, and a big living person can actually disappear in it strangely." Xiao Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, slowly gathered his thoughts, took a cautious step, and began to explore in the Hall of Inquiry.
