Chapter 5: Entering the Ruins
Lu Xiao and Mu Yan felt a hint of excitement while being shocked. After all, just now the two of them were still worried that Bai Xiaosheng would not be able to find him, but they didn't expect this Bai Xiaosheng to come to the door by himself.
Lu Xiao immediately said to the little fat man: "Since you are Bai Xiaosheng here, and you know the current situation of the ruins very well, then tell us these quickly!"
The little fat man didn't directly start to tell Lu Xiao about the ruins, but said with a "hehe" smile: "Tell you that you can, but it's ......."
Speaking of this, the thumbs and index fingers of the little fat man's two fat hands were still rubbed together, and they looked at Lu Xiao and Mu Yan with a sneer.
Mu Yan saw the little fat man's action, so she whispered to Lu Xiao: "The people who do their business are to make money by selling the news, and they will tell you what you want to know only if you pay the money." ”
Mu Yan's voice was very small, but she was still heard by the little fat man.
This little fat man seemed to hear this ethereal voice for the first time, and he was instantly stunned, and a trace of intoxication flashed in his eyes.
However, the little fat man thought that there was still business to do, so he struggled with all his energy to wake up from that intoxication, and said to Lu Xiao and Mu Yan at random: "This girl is right, those who do our business, in the entire Elemental Continent, are all at a uniform price, a piece of inferior Yuan Stone is a piece of news, Yuan Shi regardless of attributes!"
When Lu Xiao heard Yuan Shi, he couldn't help but look at Mu Yan in confusion.
Mu Yan saw his puzzled gaze and immediately explained: "Yuan Shi is a circulating currency in the cultivation world, just like the yellow and white things in the secular world, you can buy what you want through Yuan Shi. Moreover, this Yuan Stone can help cultivators to cultivate, it contains the elements of heaven and earth, and it is slightly purer than what only heaven and earth see, unlike the heaven and earth that are full of various elements and very mixed. Therefore, cultivators are very fond of improving their cultivation by absorbing the energy in the Yuan Stone. ”
Mu Yan seemed to be tired, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:
"Yuan Shi is divided into lower grade Yuan Stone, middle grade Yuan Stone, upper grade Yuan Stone, as well as extremely rare best Yuan Stone, the higher the grade of the Yuan Stone, the purer the energy contained in the Yuan Stone, the higher the concentration. The exchange ratio between them is 1,000,000 lower grade yuan stone = 10,000 middle grade yuan stone = 100 upper grade yuan stone = one superb yuan stone. Although there is such an exchange method, few people are willing to exchange high-grade Yuan Stones for low-grade Yuan Stones. Because although it can be exchanged in this way, the purity of the elements of heaven and earth contained in it is different after all, and there is also a big gap in energy. “
When Lu Xiao heard Mu Yan's explanation, he couldn't help but have a certain understanding of the so-called Yuan Shi.
Immediately afterward, Lu Xiao saw that a crystal clear diamond-shaped stone suddenly appeared in Mu Yan's hand and handed it to the little fat man, and then said, "This piece is enough for us to ask a lot of questions." ”
When the little fat man saw this crystal clear stone, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then his face was full of excitement, and he asked Mu Yan with a trembling voice: "Dare to ask the girl if this is a medium-grade yuan stone?"
Mu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the middle grade Yuan Stone, I wonder if it can let us know enough things?"
The little fat man saw that Zhongpin Yuanshi's eyes were straight, how could he say no!
Immediately, he shouted, "Okay, okay!
Lu Xiao had never seen the Yuan Stone before, but after seeing the stone that Mu Yan took out, he suddenly thought that there were also stones in his storage bag with the same shape as this stone, but it was not as crystal clear as the one Mu Yan took out, and it was slightly turbid, Lu Xiao thought that it should be the lower grade Yuan Stone.
Lu Xiao was about to take out the stones in the storage bag and let Mu Yan see if it was Yuanshi, but was interrupted by the little fat man.
I just heard that the little fat man had already begun to talk about the current state of the ruins.
The little fat man straightened his face, sat on the stool of Lu Xiao's table, and began to say: "This ruins were originally discovered by a small sect disciple when he was practicing outside, because the disciple did not dare to enter it with the realm of the Yuan, so he returned to the sect and informed the seniors of the sect, and after the sect seniors knew, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the disciples of the sect not to leak out, and organized people to explore the ruins. But you know what happened next?"
After speaking, the little fat man also looked at Lu Xiao and Mu Yan with an extremely mysterious expression and eyes.
When Lu Xiao heard the little fat man say this, he couldn't help but say with some curiosity: "What happened!?"
The little fat man smiled mysteriously and said, "That time, that small sect sent an elder at the peak of the Yuan Spirit Realm, as well as more than a dozen inner disciples of the Yuan Spirit Realm to explore, but in the end, only the elder of the Yuan Spirit Realm came out of the ruins. It's really funny to say, this small sect stealing chickens can't make a counter-erosion, and in the end, there is nothing to say, and it has lost so many cultivators in the Yuan Master realm. ”
Lu Xiao and Mu Yan couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and Lu Xiao hurriedly asked, "How can this be?"
"Later, I heard the elder who came out say that it was because as long as they entered that ruin, no matter what cultivation they were, they would be suppressed at the peak of the Yuan Realm, so they would be close to the annihilation of the entire army!" the little fat man said.
"Even if the cultivation realm is suppressed in the Yuan realm, they shouldn't be wiped out? What's going on? Could it be that there is still a great risk in this ruin?"
Seeing Mu Yan's question, the little fat man replied, "Listening to the situation from that elder, it is precisely like this, they encountered great danger in the ruins, so that more than a dozen of them were wiped out!"
Mu Yan asked again at this time: "What kind of danger is that, it can make them almost annihilated, and only one person can come back in the end?"
The little fat man replied: "This is not too clear, because their sect seems to have issued a gag order for any danger encountered, and it has not been reported. ”
Lu Xiao opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Why? Why don't they say anything about the danger they encounter?"
The little fat man suddenly lowered his voice at this time, and said to Lu Xiao and Mu Yan: "This is a secret, but after my many inquiries, I learned that it seems that the owner of this ruin is looking for a successor, and the reason why the elder was brought out of the ruins was completely because the owner of the ruins deliberately let him out, so that he could spread the ruins, so that more people could come, so that the owners of the ruins could find the heirs faster, otherwise more of them would be wiped out!" Moreover, the owner of the ruins also specially warned the elder not to tell him about the dangers he encountered in the ruins, otherwise he would be at his own risk!"
After hearing this, Mu Yan nodded and said, "So that's the case." What's going on at the ruins?"
The little fat man seemed to be tired, so he grabbed the teacup in front of Lu Xiao and poured a sip of tea and said, "Now, that ruin is controlled by the Yanyang Sect, the great protector of the Yanyang Kingdom, because this ruin appeared on their territory, so they issued a gag order, so that now the other sects of the Yanyang Kingdom have not received news here." ”
After Lu Xiao and Mu Yan heard it, they didn't ask why it didn't spread to other sects, after all, even if the Yanyang Kingdom was a kingdom, it also covered an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, and besides, the Yanyang Sect had issued a gag order, and it was normal for other sects to not get the news.
Lu Xiao and Mu Yan glanced at each other, and then Lu Xiao looked at the little fat man and said, "Okay, there's no problem, you go first"
When the little fat man heard Lu Xiao's words, he said, "I hope you will look for me if you have something in the future, and I will wait for the two of you to arrive at any time." Since you're all right, I'll go. ”
After saying that, the little fat man left.
Lu Xiao looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Mu Yan, how is it, shall we go and have a look?"
"Of course we go, isn't that what we're here for! Mu Yan replied.
Lu Xiao said: "Okay, we'll go tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Lu Xiao quickly ate, and then the two opened two rooms in this restaurant, and Mu Yan and Lu Xiao went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lu Xiao walked out of the room early, opened the door, and just in time to see Mu Yan also walking out of the room.
Mu Yan also saw Lu Xiao, and immediately greeted, "Morning!"
When Lu Xiao heard Mu Yan's greeting, he immediately replied, "Morning!How about it?Can we go to the ruins now?"
Mu Yan replied, "Okay, let's go now." ”
After saying that, the two left the restaurant and hurried in the direction of the ruins.
After an hour, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan finally arrived at the ruins.
As soon as he arrived here, Lu Xiao saw a slightly familiar figure not far away, wearing a yellow shirt and a pair of fat pants on his fat body, and what didn't match his slightly honest face was the pair of shrewd eyes that he had been flashing. What Lu Xiao saw was the little fat man Bai Xiaosheng who told him and Mu Yan about the ruins in the restaurant yesterday.
The little fat man also seemed to see it, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan.
I saw the little fat man walking towards Lu Xiao and Mu Yan, and before he came to the two, he had already greeted the two and shouted: "Little brother, girl, you are here too, what a coincidence!"
Mu Yan didn't speak, but Lu Xiao replied to the little fat man: "Yes, but why are you here?"
The little fat man came to Lu Xiao and Mu Yan's side at this time, and replied: "Because this ruin is about to be opened, although the little brother is not talented and his cultivation is not high, he still wants to go in and find an opportunity!"
Lu Xiao and Mu Yan glanced at each other, both with a hint of surprise in their eyes, and then Lu Xiao said to the little fat man, "What did you say?
The little fat man also flashed a trace of surprise after hearing this, and said to Lu Xiao: "Why don't you two know that the ruins are about to open!?
When Lu Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Yan suspiciously.
Mu Yan felt the gaze of Lu Xiao's group, and said with a wry smile in her eyes: "I always thought that this ruin could be entered at any time, so I didn't ask you yesterday about when the ruin will be opened, this is indeed a mistake." It's good that we came today, otherwise we would have missed it!"
When Lu Xiao heard Mu Yan say this, he also spoke: "Yes, we originally wanted to come today to explore the situation of this ruin, after all, you said that this ruin is now controlled by the Yanyang Sect, I don't know if they are allowed to go in and get a piece of the pie from a casual cultivator like us." What I didn't expect was that the crooked fight was actually in time for the ruins to open, but what I was most worried about now was what kind of attitude the Yanyang Sect maintained towards loose cultivators like us, and whether we would be allowed to enter?"
When the little fat man heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to worry, the Yanyang Sect will not prevent the Loose Cultivators from entering, because they still need the Loose Cultivators to pave the way for them and help them share some dangers!"
After Lu Xiao and Mu Yan heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realize, it turned out that the Yanyang Sect still had such an idea!
In the process of talking to the little fat man next, Lu Xiao learned that the ruins would be opened in two hours.
And now outside of this ruin, there are two more powerful forces.
One is the Yanyang Sect, in order to explore this ruin, the Yanyang Sect sent an elder of the Yuanwang realm to sit here this time, and there are also two core disciples of the Yuanling realm, twenty inner disciples of the Yuanshi realm and one hundred ordinary disciples of the peak realm of the Yuan, and these disciples are the people who entered the ruins, as for the elder of the Yuanwang realm, he is guarding outside this ruin, in order to prevent some young people from doing anything wrong.
As for the other force, it is actually not a force, but some scattered cultivators here are dissatisfied with the Yang plot of the Yanyang Sect, but they really want to enter the ruins, so an alliance that has been temporarily organized wants to use this to confront the Yanyang Sect. However, the Yanyang Sect does not seem to have this temporarily organized alliance in its eyes, in the eyes of the Yanyang Sect, it is impossible for this group of rabble to truly unite, and in the end it still paves the way for the disciples of the sect.
In addition to these two forces, there are also some scattered cultivators who don't care about the calculations of the Yanyang Sect at all, so they haven't joined any forces, and are ready to enter the ruins alone, but these people are also really powerful people, even if the cultivation is suppressed at the peak realm of the Yuan Sect, but the combat power that can burst out, even if it is the Yuan Shi realm, can not be underestimated.
Hearing the introduction of these two forces, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan smiled and didn't say anything, because in the hearts of the two of them, they were all the third kind of people.
However, I heard the little fat man say that he joined the alliance formed by the scattered cultivators, and also wanted to invite Lu Xiao and the others to join, but they were politely rejected by the two, and the two of them had the same idea as the Yanyang Sect, and they also thought that this so-called alliance was just a group of rabble, and it could not become a big climate at all.
After this, the little fat man left, looking for his teammates after entering the ruins to increase his affection.
After the little fat man left, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan also walked towards the entrance of the ruins, in the process, Lu Xiao kept looking at the environment around the ruins, and found that this was a relatively open and open area, there was a mountain in front of the direction that Lu Xiao was walking, and the entrance of the ruins was halfway up the mountain.
When Lu Xiao and Mu Yan came to the entrance of the ruins, they found that a lot of people had gathered here, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan didn't care about these people but looked towards the entrance of the ruins, and saw a cave, and at the entrance of the cave, they saw a smooth platform, and there was a compass on the platform, and this compass was divided into five areas, each area has a color, a total of gold, green, blue, red, yellow five elements representing the five elements between the heaven and earth, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
In addition to this, there is a pointer on the compass that is now pointing to the golden area, and the pointer is slowly moving towards the green area that represents the wood element.
When Lu Xiao saw this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, so he turned his head to the person next to him and asked, "This brother, I don't know what this compass is for?" After speaking, he pointed to the compass on the platform.
The man seemed to be a warm-hearted person, and when he saw Lu Xiao asking him a question, he replied: "Oh, this compass is equivalent to a timer, which is used to measure the time when the ruins are opened, you see that the pointer points to the golden area now, but when the pointer points to the green area, it is when the ruins are opened." ”
Lu Xiao couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Why is this happening? It's so amazing!"
The man replied again: "As for why this happened, I don't know very well, but this result was calculated by the elder of the Yuan King realm of the Yanyang Sect after spending a lot of Yuan power, and there will be no mistake!"
Lu Xiao said "oh" and said, "So that's the case." ”
Lu Xiao wanted to ask some more about the ruins, when someone suddenly shouted: "It's fast! It's going to be opened!"
Lu Xiao's attention was also attracted, and then he saw that the pointer pointed to the green area, and when the pointer just pointed to the green area, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed greatly, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared at the mouth of the cave, rotating there like a black hole.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but rush towards the whirlpool one by one, Lu Xiao and Mu Yan saw that many people had nothing to do when they entered it, so they glanced at each other and rushed towards the whirlpool, and it didn't take long for the two of them to be completely sucked into the whirlpool.
