Chapter 179: The Secret of the Spiritual Spring
The spiritual spring on the top of this mountain only spews out the spiritual spring water at noon every day, and when the time comes, it immediately sucks the spiritual energy in the stone pit back. After that, the water sprayed by the spiritual spring was just ordinary mountain spring water, and it had no special effect.www.biquge.info
However, there will be an hour every day, and the water of the spiritual spring will flow out from the top of the mountain and inject into some of the pools downstream, and over time, a certain amount of spiritual spring water will also accumulate in the downstream pools, which is also the reason why the water of that waterhole has an effect on Ma Yilong.
It's just that these spiritual springs that flow into the pools downstream will also dissipate over time. Moreover, there are more ordinary mountain springs that are constantly injected, which will also dilute it. This is the reason why the water in the pool, although it has a certain effect, cannot completely change Ma Yilong's appearance.
At this moment, Ma Yilong has completely figured these things out.
Now that his appearance has been fully restored, and all the elixirs have been received in the storage bracelet, there is no need for Ma Yilong to stay here anymore. The next thing he had to do was the newly born Ascension Order in the Holy Land.
Ma Yilong, who has always been cautious, will never be carried away by the joy in front of him. At this time, the sun is just setting in the west, and if you climb down from such a high rock wall in broad daylight, it is easy for people from a distance to notice, and if you encounter a strong enemy halfway through the climb, it will be a very troublesome thing.
Ma Yilong walked along the edge of the mountaintop, carefully taking a look at the surroundings. Because it was condescending, Ma Yilong could see a long distance at once, and the few waterholes he had passed by before were just small puddles in his eyes at the moment.
After a detour, Ma Yilong returned to the edge of the stone pit. Under the glance just now, Ma Yilong vaguely found that there was a larger mountain peak in the southeast, much higher and larger than the top of the mountain where he was. At first glance, it seems to be the highest mountain in the area. Ma Yilong believes that it is very likely that this is the place where the Ascension Order appeared.
In the following time, Ma Yilong went to the edge of the stone pit, closed his eyes and recuperated, and quietly waited for the sun to set.
Unconsciously, the red sun fell in the west, and there was a touch of red glow in the sky. At this moment, Ma Yilong slowly opened his eyes, stared at the sky, and began to plan what would happen after returning to the stone wall.
In an instant, the sky gradually darkened, and the distant mountains and near scenes were blurred little by little in the line of sight. At this moment, Ma Yilong jumped up, quickly came to the side of the big tree, and hung down the rattan.
Ma Yilong tidied up his clothes, thrust the sword into his waist, tied the luminous stone cylinder around his waist, and quickly crawled under the stone wall while the sky was not completely dark. It is also more than 40 zhang high, and it is much easier and faster to go down than to go up.
When the sky was completely dark, Ma Yilong had already fallen back under the stone wall.
Ma Yilong re-tied the luminous stone tube to the top of his head, raised his head and glanced at the top of the stone wall, feeling a lot of emotion. Recalling the feeling of near despair when he first came here last night, Ma Yilong smiled even more bitterly.
In this short day, he climbed to the top of the mountain, which was almost inaccessible, realized the secret of the spiritual spring, restored his appearance, and harvested a large number of spiritual elixirs and spiritual fruits, after ups and downs.
Ma Yilong smiled bitterly, pulled out the divine sword, pulled down the rattan partition, cut it into several sections, threw it into the grass in the distance, and dug out the burden he was hiding from the ground.
After brushing off the dust on the baggage, Ma Yilong took out a set of clean black clothes, changed them on the spot, and hid the Excalibur in the package.
Straddling the burden diagonally and holding a long sword, Ma Yilong headed southeast.
After going straight for more than 30 miles, Ma Yilong vaguely returned to the path taken by the public. Further on, there were traces of people walking everywhere under your feet, and every time you walked a distance, you would find a corpse lying on the ground.
Originally, after Ma Yilong hurried overnight, he had already chased back the distance he was behind. However, having spent the whole day on the top of the mountain, he was once again left behind. Seeing the traces and corpses under your feet also confirms this.
Despite this, Ma Yilong was not in a hurry at the moment.
If the Ascension Order was really easy to take away, the Qingyan Continent would not have accumulated only a dozen or so pieces in more than a thousand years. Not to mention anything else, just those beasts around are not so easy to deal with. It's not a bad thing to have a small group of people at the bottom in front of you!
Ma Yilong thought in his heart, and his feet did not stop, and he kept walking towards the peak he saw during the day. Although it doesn't look very far from the location of the spiritual spring, it is really not close when you actually walk it. After walking for more than 50 miles, seeing that the sky was bright, Ma Yilong came to the foot of the mountain.
At this time, it was the fifth morning, and Ma Yilong was already very satisfied with being able to reach the area where he had seized the Ascension Order so early. For him, the main purpose of this trip is only two, and restoring his appearance is equivalent to completing half of the task.
Ma Yilong found a hidden place at the foot of the mountain, rested for a long time, and headed towards a path up the mountain.
This mountain peak in front of you is the center of the Holy Land, Xuanji Peak! The ascension order that everyone wants to fight for appears in this mountain peak. Being able to give birth to a Ascension Order every ten years is indeed full of mystery and mystery, and it is precisely because of this that the name is born.
Xuanji Peak looks like a pagoda from a distance, the foot of the mountain is only six or seven miles square, and the peak is more than two hundred zhang high. Looking up directly from below, the mountain is steep and difficult to walk.
It's easy to spiral up the hill, with a relatively gentle trail underneath. However, the original height of more than 200 zhang, along these paths, you have to detour at least seventy or eighty miles to reach the peak.
To say that this mountain is tall is only relative. Compared to the location of Xuanji Peak and Lingquan, it is indeed much taller, and if it is compared to other hills in the spell failure area, it is even more tall. However, if it is placed outside the spell failure area, or outside the holy land, such peaks can be seen everywhere.
Ma Yilong circled up the path, and the corpses of beasts and immortal cultivators were under his feet. After walking for several miles, Ma Yilong suddenly stopped and squatted down. A corpse in front of him attracted his attention.
"A sword drifting frost!"
Ma Yilong saw at a glance the move used by the killer from the wound of the corpse, which was the move in the Ma family's ancestral fast sword. Ma Yilong only passed on the first ten styles of the ancestral fast sword to He Ying and Fang Ming, and the murderer could only be one of them!
"It's a bit tricky!"
In addition to the surprise, Ma Yilong couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment.
He Ying and Fang Ming were both good friends of his, if one of the two of them won the Ascension Order first, he would not be able to fight with them again, so he could only give up his thoughts and wait for ten years to come back.
Ma Yilong knew in his heart that even if one of the two really brought the Ascension Order out of the spell failure area, they would definitely have no chance to keep it in their hands, and in the end, they could only let the Ascension Order fall into the hands of the Chiyun Dao people in vain.
At this moment, Ma Yilong had already made up his mind to seize the Ascension Order first. Ma Yilong raised his head and took a look, and an idea instantly popped up in his heart.
Going straight up, it is naturally much faster, but there is no road at all, the mountain is steep, it is very difficult to walk, and the physical exertion will be very huge. However, Ma Yilong has a way to climb such a steep stone wall, and he is more confident to take a risk on such a mountain road opposite.
Ma Yilong untied his burden and took out a handful of flying grabs. The velvet rope on the flying grab had been broken by Ma Yilong before, and at this moment Ma Yilong had to twist it together again. It took two cups of tea to finally restore the velvet rope to its original state.
At this moment, Ma Yilong no longer hesitated, shook his spirits, and flew up.
Ma Yilong was already flexible, and he had a flying grab to borrow his strength, and the steep mountain road couldn't stop him. Encountering some beasts that suddenly appeared along the way, Ma Yilong killed them directly with crossbow arrows or darts in order to save some time.
"Look, there's somebody climbing straight up!"
"That's a good idea!"
"Okay, with our way, can you walk on the ground like that man?"
"Of course we can't! But, when they get the ascension order, wouldn't it be easier for us to intercept him and snatch him up?"
......
Ma Yilong had just climbed up more than 20 zhang high, and someone at the foot of the mountain found him and talked loudly. Hearing their words, Ma Yilong glanced down, chuckled, and continued on his way.
When passing some winding paths in the middle, Ma Yilong will also take a short rest. In the blink of an eye, it was noon, the direct sunlight was particularly dazzling, and Ma Yilong, who was sweating all over, slowly sat down on the side of a path.
At this moment, Ma Yilong has reached a height of one hundred and forty or fifty zhang, and most of the people who went up the path have been left behind by him again, and the distance that was originally behind has been chased back.
Ma Yilong has already made plans, at this time it is necessary to go straight in such a physical exertion, there are very few people in front of him, after a short rest, he can walk along the path, so that he can also know the situation of the people in front of him.
Just when Ma Yilong was thinking like this in his heart, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight in front of him. Ma Yilong jumped up and hurriedly ran along the path.
The sound of the fight in his ears became clearer and clearer, and Ma Yilong hurriedly walked around the grass next to him until he was already close. When he got closer, Ma Yilong crouched in the grass, gently opened a gap, and looked at the person who was fighting.
"I can't believe they're both here!"
Seeing a few people in front of him, Ma Yilong sighed in his heart, smiled wryly and shook his head. The two people he was talking about naturally meant He Ying and Fang Ming. (To be continued.) )
