Chapter 40: The Remains
Natal fire is a kind of alien fire, it is a relatively high-level flame, except for being swallowed by a higher-level flame, or being forcibly dispersed by a strong person with true qi, otherwise it is immortal and inextinguishable.
In addition to being able to manipulate the flames, Xiao Yifan's Fire Order Banner can also absorb the flames and become the carrier of the flames, and then release the flames for their own use when necessary.
Now there is a strange fire here, Xiao Yifan naturally will not waste it, he used the fire order flag to put away the flames, at this time he found that there was a fist-sized bead on the ground, the color of the fiery red, he curiously took the bead in his hand, and suddenly a blazing energy spread throughout the body, this turned out to be a fire attribute Inner Dan.
The Inner Dan is a more high-grade thing than the core of the beast, and it is the natal true element that only the demon beasts whose cultivation realm has reached the Ning Dan realm or above. When Xiao Yifan and the others saw this fire fox the most, they all thought that it was just an eighth-order fierce beast, but now judging from the situation that there is Neidan, this is actually a demon beast.
There is a big difference between demon beasts and ordinary beasts, the spirit of demon beasts is relatively high, they will improve their realm through cultivation, and they can also comprehend martial arts, so once the beast is advanced to a demon beast, its strength will be greatly increased, far from being comparable to the beasts of the same level.
Fortunately, the demon beast I encountered today was trapped, and Xiao Yifan also had a special cross crossbow, a BUG-level weapon, otherwise, let alone killing this eighth-order demon beast, if they could leave here alive, they would have to burn high incense.
Xiao Yifan put Neidan into the storage ring, and carefully observed the surroundings, this place is already the end of the passage, the traces of artificial excavation are very obvious, in order to lock an eighth-order demon beast, there is no need to carry out artificial excavation, since there is artificial excavation, then there must be other secrets.
Sure enough, after a careful search, Xiao Yifan found a place similar to a mechanism, the mechanism was activated, a stone door on the stone wall slowly opened, and a stone room appeared in front of the two.
The two of them cautiously walked into the stone chamber, which was not large, about twenty square meters, and a torch could illuminate it clearly, and it was empty except for a dry skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The two glanced at each other, and suddenly turned pale, this should be a place for a certain strong person to escape from the world and cultivate, and the fire fox that they killed just now should be guarding the door for him.
However, the two of them were not willing to return empty-handed, and began to search in the stone room to see if there were any other secret doors or the like, but after some careful investigation by the two, they came to the same conclusion, that is, the entire stone room was really only this dry bone.
Just when the two were about to withdraw regretfully, Xiao Yifan suddenly thought of a custom on the earth, that is, people must be buried in the earth when they die. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifan said to Han Qi: "Senior Sister Han, since we met, we are fated, let's take him out for burial!" ”
As a girl, Han Qi is still quite resistant to such things as corpses, and she is embarrassed to say no, and her expression becomes a little unnatural.
Xiao Yifan naturally saw her embarrassment, so he said, "Senior Sister Han, you come and get the torch, and I'll take him out for burial." After speaking, he walked to the front of the corpse and shook it three times, and said softly: "Senior, I disturbed your rest today, so I will take you out to the ground for peace." With that, he picked up the corpse.
It was just that as soon as he picked up the corpse, an ancient parchment scroll fell out of the corpse's tattered clothes. Xiao Yifan put down the corpse suspiciously, picked up the parchment roll on the ground and looked at it.
At this glance, he discovered a big secret, this corpse turned out to be the chief elder of the Dan Pavilion Xu Xiazhi when the Youyun Sect was founded, the Youyun Sect at that time was not as powerful as it is now, he offended an elder of the Badao Sect, one of the top ten sects at that time, because he was fighting outside, he was chased and killed all the way, and finally escaped to this cave and found this passage and stone room.
When he found this stone room, it was not much different from the situation Xiao Yifan and the others encountered, there was only one corpse in it, and nothing else. However, the owner of that corpse is very remarkable, it is the corpse of a concentrating powerhouse thousands of years ago, and there is a ring on the corpse, which contains the practice secrets of this concentrating powerhouse, as well as a large number of rare treasures.
After he got these things, he originally wanted to go back to the sect to seek refuge, but the Youyun Sect at that time was not among the top ten sects, in order not to involve the sect, he handed over the ring to the then sect master Youyun Ancestor and left the sect, and then he was chased and killed by the people of the Sword Sect, and after being seriously injured, he fled back to this cave and hid, and finally died here because of his injuries.
After reading this, Xiao Yifan couldn't help but sigh, it was really a society of the jungle, and he was finally hunted down and killed because of injustice, and in the end he didn't even have a place to live, so he could only end his life in this gloomy cave, how sad it is!
At the end of the parchment scroll, he said that if someone who was destined to come here and let him settle in the earth, he could inherit his storage ring, which had a formation on it, and the way to lift it was also recorded on this parchment scroll.
At this time, Xiao Yifan noticed that there was also a storage ring on one of the fingers of the corpse's right hand. He handed the parchment roll to Han Qi, then took off the ring, picked up the corpse and walked out of the cave.
When Su Xiaoya and the others saw Xiao Yifan holding a corpse, they couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and just wanted to ask something, Han Qi on the side also handed over the parchment roll.
An hour later, they buried Xu Xiazhi's body, and Xiao Yifan unlocked the prohibition of the ring and took out all the things inside. In fact, there were not many things inside, except for a small number of spirit stones and pills, there were only two jade slips, a broken long sword, and an alchemy furnace.
Xiao Yifan divided the elixir and spirit stones into ten parts, each person took one share, and the things after that were not very easy to divide, just when Xiao Yifan was embarrassed, Han Qi opened his mouth and said: "We can get these spirit stones and elixirs today, it is already thanks to Senior Brother Xiao, if he hadn't killed that eighth-order fire fox, we wouldn't have gotten anything, and we wouldn't have used other things, so let's leave them all to Senior Brother Xiao!" ”。
The others naturally had no opinion, after all, they actually didn't do anything, and they got these spirit stones and pills for nothing, which were of extraordinary value to those of them who were in the Body Refining Realm.
After dividing the things, it was already evening, and they had to hurry down the mountain, otherwise they would have to spend the night in this mountain tonight, although it was not impossible, but if they could, who would want to!
