After seeing that there was indeed a secret passage under the floor tiles, Li Yanting couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"This Sword Pavilion is naturally a place where swords are hidden, and opening a secret passage here is to hide more precious things?" Li Yanting analyzed.

After hearing this, Luo Qiao nodded, feeling reasonable, and the two of them actually analyzed it together. There was a knowing smile on their faces, and they were all very curious about what was hidden in this secret tunnel

Li Yanting insisted on walking forward, Luo Qiao knew his kindness, and did not excuse himself.

"You'll have to be careful for a while. Since there is a hidden passage here, it cannot be ruled out that there may be a trap. Luo Qiao reminded behind him.

"Yes. Li Yanting nodded and responded, naturally knowing in his heart. Although he was a little nervous, he didn't show it on his face, and he still looked like he was not surprised.

Li Yanting moved the candle in his hand as far down as possible, so that the stairs could be illuminated brighter.

"It seems that you and I are too worried. Li Yanting said.

At the end of the stairs, a wooden door blocked the way, and Li Yanting and Luo Qiao both exhaled, and their tense nerves relaxed.

Pushing open the wooden door, a secret room covering an area of more than ten feet came into view, the fire candle in his hand was still small, relying on the light of the candle flame, he could only vaguely see a small table in the middle of the position, there was an oil lamp on the table, Li Yanting walked to the small table, and lit the oil lamp.

The oil lamp lit up the house, and Li Yanting blew off the candle in his hand and began to look at it carefully.

The structure of the secret room is simple, there is no special decoration, the walls are all whole pieces of dark green rock, the rock is cold to the touch, smooth, but there is no trace of excavation, here, as if it is naturally formed, Li Yanting is not too entangled in the source of the secret room, stretching out his hand to touch the small table, there is no dust, it can be seen. That Xu Jinbiao often comes here.

Under the small table was a black futon, and Li Yanting speculated that this secret room was definitely the place where Xu Jinbiao cultivated his soul path.

"Look," Luo Qiao pointed to one place, holding out his finger, "There is a black animal skin under the corner. ”

Li Yanting looked at the corner of the wall when he heard this, isn't it, there is really a black animal skin, and there seems to be something hidden under the animal skin, which makes the animal skin bulge, if you don't look closely, it will be really difficult to detect. Fortunately, Luo Qiao's eyes are vicious.

Li Yanting stepped forward to open the animal skin, and a box made of fine iron appeared under the eyes of the two of them, and there was a copper lock on the box.

"Get out of the way," Li Yanting waved his hand to push Luo Qiao away, picked up the small stone bench next to the small table, and slammed it towards the copper lock.

"Knock,"

The copper lock opened in response, Li Yanting took off the copper lock, opened the lid of the box, and after seeing the contents of the box, two gasps followed one after another, and his eyes became dull

"Oh my God, how much does this have to be?" Luo Qiao swallowed and said.

"I don't know how many of them are anyway. ”

Inside the box, small gold bars are neatly arranged. The two of them had never seen so much money in their lives, and how many gold bars there were in the box, Li Yanting didn't count them, but felt that he had lost the ability to think at the moment, and both of them stood there, and there was a piece of gold in front of them.

"Whew", sighing, Li Yanting reacted first, resisted the bag and shouted: "What a daze, pretend, pretend." ”

"Oooh...... Oh, yes, yes," Luo Qi then came back to his senses, opened the mouth of the bag, and threw the gold bars into it, with only one thought at the moment, only hating himself for not having a few more hands.

At this moment, where do the two of them still have the cold and silent attitude on weekdays, and the appearance of living robbers.

When the gold bar bottomed out, the two of them were quite surprised that there was a small iron box under the gold bar.

"What is so precious to cover it up with gold?" Li Yanting wondered.

"Open it and take a look. When Luo Qi spoke, his body trembled slightly, and his mood was too surging when he was loading gold bars just now, and his body still didn't seem to be relieved at this moment.

Li Yanting nodded, opened the lid of the box, and was stunned for a moment.

The box is full of white wax, solidified, some hard, a red glass ball the size of an elixir, is embedded in the wax, although the glass ball is half of the body has been submerged in the wax, but it still can't hide the transparent color, the texture is smooth, the natural formation of jade general, Li Yanting knows, force the glass ball out, if the force is not appropriate, the glass ball is very likely to be broken to the ground and damaged.

Li Yanting walked to the table and took the oil lamp out of the lamp. The wick was placed under the iron box, and after a short time, all the white wax in the box melted, Li Yanting took out the glass ball, and scraped the white wax on his face with his fingernails against the lamp.

"This thing feels so familiar. After Luo Qiao saw the glass ball, he thought about it, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"Show me it, it's too dark to see very clearly. Luo Qiao stretched out his hand and said.

After Li Yanting handed it over to Luo Qiao's hand, the latter looked left and right, and turned the glass ball around in his hand, his brows furrowed deeper, and the sense of familiarity became stronger.

Li Yanting didn't bother, and waited quietly on the side.

I don't know how long it took.

"Oh, I remember," Luo Qiao patted his leg and said, "I haven't returned for many days some time ago, I don't know if you remember this?"

Li Yanting nodded, and waited for Luo Qiao to continue.

"In order to determine this operation, I must know Xu Jinbiao's whereabouts, so I specially followed him for a few days, and before that registration day, he went to the 'Spirit Frost Exchange'. Luo Qiao said.

"What is he doing there?" Li Yanting wondered.

"Lingshuang Exchange" since the alliance between the East and West Frost countries, is built at the border with the two countries, its purpose is to facilitate the exchange of goods between the two countries, where, as long as the goods in the hands are valuable, the exchange is able to sell it, of course, the exchange will not do this for no reason, any goods successfully sold, the exchange will automatically extract 10% of the equivalent as a reward, although the handling fee is extremely high. But on the other hand, the credibility is also excellent. No one dared to make a mistake there, because the master behind the exchange was the imperial court of Dongling and Xishuang.

"Where did Xu Jinbiao get this glass ball?" Li Yanting understood what he meant and asked.

"Yes, no wonder I think this thing is so familiar," Luo Qi said, then paused, and then said: "This thing is the core of a third-order demon beast, stored in the body of a third-order demon beast, and will accompany it for a lifetime. Since, when the demon beast died, taking out the kernel from its body is the origin of your current core, and the kernel is full of the demon beast's lifelong cultivation. ”

Li Yanting was taken aback, the level of the demon beast was extremely similar to the level of the human soul path, if the third-order demon beast was to fight the third order of the soul path, he was afraid that no one would be able to speculate on the result, because the strength between the two was extremely close, as if it was equal.

"It's just a little strange, so what's the point of Xu Jinbiao buying this kernel?" asked Li Yanting.

"In my speculation, I'm afraid that Xu Jinbiao has almost reached the third-order realm of the soul path, and he wants to use this core to increase the success rate. Luo Qi explained: "The core of the demon beast is actually the lifelong cultivation of the demon beast, if a person of the same level eats the core, the soul power in the body will be assimilated and absorbed, and finally the energy in the core will be taken into its own." As for the length of absorption, it still depends on the degree of personal cultivation. ”

"You mean to say that this glass ball can be eaten, but it is hard in my hand. I'm afraid this thing can even be smashed with stones. Li Yanting was quite incredible, and pinched the kernel back and forth in his hand.

"Of course, it's already a well-known fact that I think my Eastern Spirit Country Lord is already a sixth-order cultivator. In that realm, if you eat this kernel in your hand, you are afraid that it will be assimilated and absorbed in an instant, and you will use it for your own use. Luo Qiao said, if there was a pause, as if recalling the scene of the day, after a while, he grinned, and continued: "I remember that day, Xu Jinbiao spent a full 100,000 taels to buy it, at that time, there were countless people competing in the trading floor, from 30,000 to 100,000 directly, if it weren't for the rules of the exchange that only accept cash, I am afraid that Xu Jinbiao would not be able to buy it." ”

Li Yanting thought about it, who would bring so much money with him, I am afraid that Xu Jinbiao had already learned that this thing was sold on the same day, and it is not difficult to guess that someone in the exchange must have informed him.

"Don't fight the idea of this core," Luo Qiao saw that Li Yanting's eyes were shining, and he knew what the latter was thinking, and persuaded him: "Although this core product is a third-order, the hidden power in the core is quite large, and it is very likely that after you take it, it will reach you to the realm of life soul, but"

Luo Qiao glanced at Li Yanting, and saw that Li Yanting was not angry, gritted his teeth, explained his words, and said, "But that is also a very small existence, almost impossible." You have not yet reached the standard of the first order, and you are not a soul path cultivator, if you take this inner pill, there is a very high chance that you will be eaten by this core, eat away at your mind and cultivation, and become a living puppet, driven by the core. ”

"So?" Li Yanting smiled self-deprecatingly after hearing this, and said with a gloomy expression.

"So you should treat it as a thing of play for the time being, and don't eat it, and you will die. The odds of success are too small and too small. ”

“”

"On another day, when you reach the second-order cultivation and reach the third-order, then take this core, and at that time, this core will definitely be a great thing. ”

Li Yanting nodded, but did not speak again, feeling a little depressed in his heart, more disappointed.

"Could it be that it is so difficult for oneself to advance to the soul path and reach the realm of the soul of life?"
