Qian Chao opened the ruins, but he couldn't go in, he said to the four companions: "The opening there is supported by this formation I arranged, these few spirit stones can't be exhausted, otherwise it will definitely be closed again, so I won't go in, I'll stay and take care of this formation, you go in and get things, time is limited, no matter what it is, just take it away, and then let's take a closer look, and put the things inside in a bag to be safe." ”

"Good! Take it all! Lu Pingchuan shouted happily.

……

In case there might be any danger inside, Li Jian was still the first to walk in, he carried the sword, and the darkness inside was dispelled by his sword light.

After the four people walked in, they found that it was not a very large stone room, square like a study, in fact, the layout was really like a study, in the middle of an antique warped bookcase, there was a lamp on it, there were no books on the bookcase, there was a felt under the bookcase, there were screens in the back, there were shelves on both sides, the shelves were full of all kinds of books and other sundries, and it seemed to be these things that could be seen at a glance.

There was a sheathed sword hanging on the screen, and Li Jian was most interested in these, so he went over and reached out to take it down.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were a little stunned when they saw the shelves inside after they came in, everyone was entering the so-called ruins for the first time, and they really didn't have an impression of what should be in it, but they didn't expect that this place was similar to a study.

After Lu Pingchuan came in, he saw Li Jian looking at the sword in his hand, while Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were in a daze, so he said:

"Brother Qian said to take it all, take it all."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and stuffed the lamp on the bookcase tightly into his storage bag, and then reached out and copied the bookcase and stuffed it in.

Tang Ping looked at Lu Pingchuan and asked puzzledly: "Brother Lu, what are you doing with this wooden case, is this also a good thing?" ”

"Whatever, Brother Qian said it anyway, take it all, look back, and throw it away if it's useless."

Lu Pingchuan said as he picked up a piece of wood that fell from the wooden case and stuffed it tightly into the storage bag.

Looking at Lu Pingchuan's vigorous stuffing, Li Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Ping shook her head, pointed to the shelf next to her with her hand, and said:

"What about these, could it be that this shelf will also be taken away?"

"Of course, who knows if it's going to be a good thing, anyway, take it first."

Tang Ping shook her head again, ignored him anymore, and let Lu Pingchuan keep stuffing things, but there was something on the shelf just now that attracted her, she looked back carefully, and found that there was a small storage bag on the shelf full of books and books, so she reached out and took it.

After opening the small bag, Tang Ping glanced inside, and her face flushed with excitement, and she clenched the small bag tightly.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xuan noticed Tang Ping's abnormality.

"It's worth it!" Tang Ping said in a slightly trembling voice, "It's worth it, Sister Yan, it's not in vain here, and if you have this small bag, it's definitely not in vain." ”

After Lu Pingchuan put away the screen and put it in the storage bag, he saw a box that was originally hidden behind the screen, and he didn't pay attention to it, and directly stuffed it in. Then when he saw that several people were looking at him, he said puzzledly: "I usually see that you are all quick with your hands and feet, why are you slow now." ”

After saying that, he arrived at a shelf, stuffed everything on it, and then really didn't let go of the shelf.

In this way, it seems that only he alone is enough, Li Jian only holds the sword, Tang Ping holds the small bag, Yan Xuan only takes a few scrolls made of silk silk from the shelf, and the rest is all pulled into the storage bag by Lu Pingchuan.

When the four of them came out of it, Qian Chao saw it and asked:

"So fast! Nothing was left behind. ”

I saw that Lu Pingchuan suddenly slapped his head, said "Wait" and then ran back, and then grabbed the felt that was originally laid under the wooden case and ran out again in the surprised eyes of several people, and then said, "Okay, now there is nothing in it." ”

Tang Ping said funny: "It's true that there is nothing left, like locusts transiting, it's clean, I don't believe you can go and see for yourself." ”

Because several companions had come out, Qian Chao left the formation and walked to the front of the stone gate with confidence, but he didn't go in, he just looked at the door, nodded, and sighed:

"It's so clean!"

Then Qian Chao collected the formations he arranged with talismans, and when he collected those formations, everyone found that in such a short period of time, the few spirit stones that Qian Chao used to arrange the formations were consumed at least forty percent, no wonder Qian Chao let them move things first after they went in, and then they were empty, after a long time, these spirit stones were consumed and emptied, and they must be closed and disappeared.

Looking up at the sky, Qian Chao said:

"It's getting late, let's get here today, find a safe place, and count the contents first."

……

Night falls.

Outside the cave used to hide overnight, because a few people found a lot of good things today, Qian Chao cautiously arranged a hidden spirit array outside to prevent the movement inside from being discovered by passers-by.

The cave was cleaned up by several people, and the first thing Lu Pingchuan took out was the wooden case taken out of the ruins.

Tang Ping began to laugh at Lu Pingchuan for taking everything out, but Qian Chao looked at the wooden case and liked it very much, this bookcase was cocked at both ends, antique, dignified and atmospheric, and Qian Chao also found that the entire wooden case was actually made of unknown spirit wood, although I don't know what the benefits of using a spirit wooden bookcase are, but among the five people, he is the only one who loves books the most and loves to read the most, so this wooden case naturally belongs to Qian Chao.

Li Jian showed the sheathed sword he brought out to Qian Chao.

Qian Chao grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out gently, and a moon-white cold sword blade was revealed, attracting the attention of several people.

"This is not a spiritual weapon," after looking at it for a while, Qian Chao sighed, "This is a magic weapon, which can only be used by monks who build a foundation, but it seems that the monk refining tool in the past is still very different from the current monk refining tool, at least in terms of materials, they will not use the Ruyi talisman, that is, the rune that controls the size of the spirit sword, there is that rune, you can refine a suitable spirit sword with a little material, and the magic weapon is the same, well, this sword will have to be studied and studied well in the future, and when the foundation is built in the future, I will be able to refine such a good sword." ”

Li Jian himself has a green bamboo spirit sword, so no matter how good the other swords are, they are useless to him, he is only interested in the sword weapon to take this sword out, and now the sword is a magic weapon that can only be used by foundation building monks, and secondly, he can't use it himself, so it is naturally collected by Qian Chao.

"Wait," Tang Ping said, "I'll show you what I brought out of it first, no matter what good things are in it, but what I take out is definitely the best." ”

As she spoke, Tang Ping put the small storage bag that she had been holding tightly in her hand on the bookcase.

"Keep your eyes open!"

Then Tang Ping poured out a small pile of shiny things from the small bag.

"It's ...... Spirit stones? Yan Xuan had seen Tang Ping's expression when he got the small storage bag, but now he was a little puzzled when he saw the things inside, it looked like a spirit stone, but if it was a spirit stone, Tang Ping would not be so excited at that time, after all, this small pile is only a few dozen pieces, not much.

Stretching out his hand and flattening the small pile of spirit stones-like things on the bookcase, Tang Ping asked a little proudly:

"Guess what's this?"

"Eh, Sister Tang, isn't this a spirit stone? What's there to guess about this? Lu Pingchuan also felt that that thing was a spirit stone.

Tang Ping's hand also picked on the bookcase, took out a few of them, divided those things into two groups, and then said:

"It's almost, but not all right, take a closer look."

This is the first time they have seen such a thing, so they have picked up one and put it in front of them to take a closer look.

Qian Chao pinched this one, and could feel that this thing was very similar to the spirit stone, but it was a little bigger, but even if he pinched it in his hand, he could feel the aura contained in this thing.

Li Jian took out a spirit stone that he usually used from himself, and compared it with each other one by one.

Yan Xuan also took out an ordinary spirit stone when she saw it, and held it in her hand to look at it left and right, but after looking at it for a while, she didn't know what it was brought out of the ruins, so she said:

"Don't sell it, tell me, what the hell is this?"

Tang Ping smiled, picked up one, and said:

"This is naturally a spirit stone, but it's not an ordinary spirit stone, this one is much better than the spirit stone we usually use, this is a medium-grade spirit stone."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people looked at their hands one after another.

Qian Chao asked, "Why is this spirit stone also divided into grades?" ”

Tang Ping replied with an ordinary spirit stone in his hand: "Of course, it is naturally divided into grades, well, the spirit stones we usually use are actually the lowest level spirit stones, well, the lower level and lower grades, although the grade is the lowest, but the people who use it are the most, we use it for our qi refining disciples, the senior brothers who build the foundation, and the seniors who connect the Dan usually use this." Well, in addition to absorbing the spiritual energy inside during cultivation, this low-grade spirit stone can also be used as a coin for our monks to buy and sell things from other monks. ”

Then she picked up another spirit stone that she had brought out of the ruins.

"And these are much better than what we usually use, they are lower-level mid-grade spirit stones, a little bit bigger, but the aura contained in them is more than twenty times that of ordinary spirit stones."

Lu Pingchuan interjected when he heard this: "Oh, then I know, that means that this spirit stone can be used as twenty pieces, right?" ”

Tang Ping laughed and said, "Just wait for your words, Brother Lu, if you take this kind of spirit stone to buy something worth twenty spirit stones, it will be a big loss, definitely a big loss!" ”

"Why is that?" Lu Pingchuan asked puzzled.

"Don't look at the aura contained in this kind of spirit stone, which is equivalent to more than twenty ordinary spirit stones, but if, it can only be if, if someone is willing to sell a piece of such a spirit stone, the value of that piece is at least two hundred, if there are many people competing for it, the price of selling a piece of four or five hundred spirit stones is also possible!"

"What!"

"How so!"

The other four were stunned, it was unbelievable that a medium-grade spirit stone could be sold at this price!

Qian Chao said: "You always say that I sell Guanzi, and now you have started, say it quickly!" ”

"Okay," Tang Ping said with a smug smile, "We have all used ordinary spirit stones, and we all know the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from them when practicing, and the advantage of this high-grade spiritual stone is that it can allow you to absorb the spiritual energy more than twenty times faster!" Any idea what that means? ”

"That ......"

"Oh my god ......!"

Several of them were monks, and Tang Ping quickly understood when he said this.

Yan Xuan looked at the medium-grade spirit stone in his hand in disbelief and said, "That is to say, this kind of spirit stone cannot be used in ordinary times, but if it is used when breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, it will be of great benefit, right?" ”

Li Jian looked at the mid-level spirit stone in his hand and said, "That is to say, with this kind of spirit stone, it will be easier for us to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, right?" ”

Tang Ping said: "That's the reason, that's why it's precious, of course, it's also because the number of this spirit stone is too small. I once saw such a spirit stone in my sixth grandfather, and I wanted to steal one to play with, but I was snatched back by the old man, and I was scolded, I thought the old man was stingy, and then I heard him say that this thing is precious, but the one I stole at that time was a middle-grade spirit stone, which is a more rare good thing! ”

After speaking, Tang Ping stretched out his hand and divided the small pile of medium-grade spirit stones on the bookcase to a few people.

"Good boy!" Lu Pingchuan looked at the dozen or so medium-grade spirit stones in front of him, and he couldn't come back to his senses, "It's more than two thousand spirit stones all at once, ah no, at least four or five thousand spirit stones, ha, I didn't expect to make a lot of money this time." ”

"Brother Lu," Tang Ping's expression became serious again, "These medium-grade spirit stones can't usually be used, you have to remember, if you use them in your usual practice, it would be a pity, let's refine the fourth layer of qi now, and the one in front of us is the small five levels, and you may be able to use one when you break through the small five levels, but the big use is still when we build the foundation in the future, and that is when they come in handy, you have to remember, don't accidentally use them, remember?" ”

Tang Ping not only said this to Lu Pingchuan, but the other three also listened to it in their hearts, knowing that this was the key to future cultivation, and it should be kept properly and not used easily.

"Hehe," Lu Pingchuan said with a smile, "Remember, remember, I'm reluctant to use it!" ”

"And these few," Tang Ping pointed to the ones she picked out on the bookcase, "they are high-grade spirit stones, and they are high-grade on the lower level." ”

She took those spirit stones in her hand and spread them out, these were slightly larger than those mid-rank spirit stones just now, and they were more crystal clear.

"The aura contained in each one is at least equivalent to fifty ordinary spirit stones, and the effect when using it can refer to the medium-grade spirit stones."

Seeing that several companions were silently looking at the spirit stones in their hands, Tang Ping suddenly sighed and said:

"Boy Qian, I estimate that these spirit stones are all the savings of the extinct family or sect, and now they are all in our hands."

Qian Chao nodded.

Lu Pingchuan asked, "Sister Tang, is this ...... What is the price of this thing? ”

Tang Ping said: "There is no price, well, I don't know the price, if anyone has this thing, if it is on someone else's body, except for today, we can get it by opening the ruins like this, that is, the person who has this thing was killed, and then robbed away, there is no other possibility, although it is not as good as the mid-level spirit stone, but the low-level and high-grade spirit stone is already the best for us, and the senior brothers who build the foundation may not have a few people who can have a medium-grade spirit stone, let alone a high-grade one, if this is taken out for people to see, Believe it or not, those foundation building brothers can kill us and seize the treasure! ”

There was silence in the cave.

Li Jian thought for a while and said:

"In my opinion, let's not divide these low-grade spirit stones first, Miss Tang, your background in the sect is the deepest, these high-grade spirit stones might as well be kept by you first, and if you can use them in the future, you will take them out."

Qian Chao and Yan Xuan also had this intention, but Lu Pingchuan didn't care, anyway, no matter who it was, it belonged to everyone, so they also nodded yes.

Tang Ping said: "It's okay, that's what I mean, I'll keep this thing first, and if it's useful in the future, everyone will use it again." ”

Yan Xuan muttered: "Sure enough, it's worth it, thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones at once, my God, I never dare to think like this." Today, thanks to Brother Qian! ”

"That's right," Li Jian said, "At first, I thought that this relic could not be opened, but I didn't expect Brother Qian's methods to be so clever. ”

……

The most important spirit stones were disposed of, and the rest of the ruins began to be counted.

The most is all kinds of books, this Qian Chao is the favorite, Lu Pingchuan took out all the brains in his storage bag for Qian Chao to see.

"Why are there so many books!" Tang Ping frowned and saw it.

"Isn't it good to have too many books?" Qian Chao smiled and said, "Well, this small family or sect or something, it seems that it is quite exquisite, look, not only this bookcase is made of spiritual wood, but even these shelves are also a bit extravagant!" ”

As soon as he heard that the shelf was actually made of spiritual wood, Lu Pingchuan smiled and said:

"Hehe, at first, Sister Tang didn't let me move the bookshelf, I thought it was useless."

……

The books were opened one by one, and Qian Chao looked at them one by one, he looked at them briefly, just classified.

These books are bound on paper, scrolls made of silk, simple scrolls made of wood chips and leather rope, and even leather scrolls.

Qian Chao browsed through them one by one, and he was most interested in these things, most of which he left, but a few of them were handed over to others.

"Sister Yan, it seems that this book is full of Danfang, you can take it and read it."

Yan Xuan heard that it was Dan Yi who was very interested in taking it, and sure enough, the recipes recorded in it were all recipes for alchemy, and after looking at it, he said:

"It's a pity, it seems that all the pills in it can only be used after the foundation is built, well, there are a few that we can use, they are all ancient recipes, I'll take a good look when I go back."

"Little Sister Tang, this is for you."

Tang Ping curiously took a silk scroll, and when he unfolded it, he found that there were some patterns of spirit beasts and birds drawn inside, and there were words below, so he read it carefully.

"Brother Li, let's see if you can use this book."

Li Jian took it, an antique book, there was no bibliography, but after opening it, it was a scene of a person dancing a sword, and some diagrams of sitting postures, which he was interested in, so he also read it in front of the lamp.

"Well, this book...... Forget it, I'll read it and tell you about it later, Brother Lu. ”

"Eh, that's how it should be!"

"What is this?"

When he said this, Qian Chao was holding a boxy piece of wood and looking at it, this piece of wood was originally placed on the bookcase, and when Lu Pingchuan received the bookcase, it fell to the ground and was picked up by him.

On the wood chips, there are black dots one by one, large and small, densely covering the whole wood chip.

And as far as this piece of wood is concerned, it seems to be made of the bark of some spirit wood, which is very flexible, and those black spots seem to have been carefully put on one by one, but I don't know what it is for.

The wood chips were passed around in the hands of several people, and no one could know what it was used for.

"Who knows what it's for, forget it, money boy, anyway, you like to ponder, you can take it, and tell us when you know the use or what kind of treasure map it is in the future."

Hearing Tang Ping say this, Qian Chao looked at the piece of wood again, and put it in his storage bag.

(REMEMBER THIS PIECE OF WOOD, I'M HERE TO MARK IT, THIS PIECE OF WOOD WILL BE OF GREAT USE IN THE FUTURE, AS FOR WHAT IT IS FOR, PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ PATIENTLY.) ）

In the ruins, Lu Pingchuan also got a box, and after opening it, it contained all kinds of rare materials, most of which were taken from the demon beasts, and some of them didn't even know Qian Chao, but they were all used for refining, so he also collected them.

"This," Qian Chao finally pointed to a large piece of paper spread out on the bookcase, "but it's a good thing!" ”

When several people heard him say this, they all came over curiously to take a look.

Tang Ping asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is a map, but it's not the current map, it's the map before the family was destroyed, which is probably what our Five Spirit Sect looked like at that time."

Yan Xuan asked, "What's the use of that?" ”

"Sister Yan, by comparing this map, you may be able to find out where those previous family sects were, and then let's look for them again."

Lu Pingchuan suddenly became happy when he heard this, and said, "Ha, that means we can find more places like this, right?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

……

"Hey, boy Qian, what did you say when the ruins were opened, 'No wonder Senior Sister Luo can't open it', what do you mean?"

Under the lamp, several people finished dividing their things, and the excitement was slowly fading, Qian Chao looked at the book on the bookcase, Tang Ping remembered Qian Chao's inexplicable words, and couldn't help but ask.

Qian Chao smiled and said: "In the book that Senior Sister Luo gave me, today's ruins are the closest to the sect, with her cultivation to come here, it will only take half a day at most, here is so close, I think Senior Sister Luo must have been here, if it could be opened, Senior Sister Luo would have opened it and taken the things inside, but it has not been opened there, probably because Senior Sister Luo has no way to restore the aura there to its original appearance, that formation is actually not difficult, the difficulty is still in the aura, She couldn't solve this problem, so she gave up. ”

"Then why doesn't she have that means of yours? It's not very difficult to see what you're doing. ”

"What you said can be said to my heart, my methods are all wild ways, we found them outside, I am interested, and then write it down and go back to study, think about it, I have been pondering it myself since I began refining the lock spirit pile for Senior Sister Luo, how long has it been now? Later, I found some leftover formations outside the sect a few times, and I didn't let them go, accumulating little by little, looking for books to read, and little by little trying to find ways to steal from Senior Sister Luo, this has made some improvements, these are what Senior Sister Luo can't learn from her seniors, not to mention that she won't sit in the cage of heaven and earth for so long like me, and it's not unusual for her to have these means. ”

Tang Ping nodded and said:

"When you didn't open the ruins at that time, you said that even if the formation you arranged didn't work, you still had another way, just a little troublesome, what kind of way?"

"Do you remember the ruins of spirit grass that we found ourselves?"

"Remember, didn't you get that Hidden Spirit Array there?"

"Yes, on both sides of the river there, I also got a formation that can change the direction of the spiritual vein, well, it is different from the formation in the cage of heaven and earth, if the formation I arranged with the talisman is useless, then I want to find a spiritual vein, and then use that formation to temporarily reroute the spiritual vein through the ruins, so that the ruins can be opened, of course, that method is much more troublesome."

Tang Ping nodded again after hearing this, thinking of Luo Ying, her impression of this Senior Sister Luo was not very good, so she pouted and said:

"I don't think that Luo Ying gave you the book with any kindness, those are the ruins and formations that she can't open herself, so she will give it to you as a favor, she must know the reason why she can't open every ruin, if you ask you if you have opened the ruins, or which ruins have been opened, if you say it, she will probably know what means you have, and when you look back at her, if you really ask so, you had better tell her that you didn't open it, so as not to be guessed by others about your own means, this is one of them; Second, it's better that you know fewer people in your means, Luo Ying and a few of them are often stared at, and the last time there was such a big movement, more than a dozen people died, I don't want to follow so many people after a few of us come out in the future, our cultivation is not worse than them, it's not a little bit or two, it's troublesome to think about it! ”

Tang Ping's statement is not groundless, it is gratifying to be able to open the ruins today, but thinking about it, it is better for only the five of them to know, if it is really known, it may really be a little troublesome.

Li Jian, Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan also felt that what Tang Ping said made some sense.

"Well," Qian Chao said, "Senior Sister Luo gave me that book, maybe she didn't think about it so much, I still have to accept her favor." But what you said still makes sense, it's better not to say it, if she asks me, I'll do what you say. ”

"Well, yes, Brother Qian, what is this called...... Right! It's enough for a few of us to make a fortune in a muffled voice, hehe! ”
