After running forward for nearly a mile, Ling Xiao finally saw the first waterhole.

"Is this it?"

Ling Xiao stopped at the waterhole and looked around.

The cave was empty and empty.

There was a loud rumbling and booming sound in the distance, and the monk surnamed Xu was leading the loose cultivators to storm the so-called "entrance", which was quite far away, and there was no time to care about it.

This pool, about the size of a room, is deep and deep, reflecting Ling Xiao's face.

Suddenly!

Whoa!

The water mirror shattered, and a loose cultivator broke through the water and landed on the shore.

After the other party saw Ling Xiao, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately snorted coldly and said, "Don't go down and waste time, there's nothing." ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly deeper into the cavern.

Ling Xiao stared at his back, muttering for a moment.

This person should not have entered the second layer, otherwise he would have left long ago and would not have continued to explore.

In that case, either this waterhole is not the real entrance, or is there another layer of camouflage in the waterhole?

After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiao pasted a diving talisman on his body and carefully stepped into the water.

Not far away.

Sanxiu, who had just left, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he noticed Ling Xiao's movements.

"If you still don't believe it, you must waste time! It's really a lot of idiots in the world, don't hit the south wall, don't look back......"

……

The diving charm glows with a faint blue light, illuminating the rushing water in front of you.

"It's amazing, I can still breathe and talk!"

The diving charm forms a bubble-like light shield that reflects the deep water of the lake with brilliant brilliance.

Ling Xiao was surprised and quickly dived.

Unexpectedly, it quickly reached the bottom.

Ling Xiao looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see the so-called entrance, but there were a few aquatic plants, swaying under the current.

He was close to the aquatic plants.

【Organ ......】

【Opposite ......】

【Mud snail ......】

In my ears, I heard the soft groan of gnats.

Sure enough, it's this puddle?!

Ling Xiao's eyes swelled, and he swam towards the opposite side of the aquatic grass like a fish.

Then he plunged into the mud.

Sudden pain!

In the mud, there was indeed a large group of mud snails, and the shells of the snails were as sharp as a knife's edge.

Ling Xiao was wearing cold iron armor, but he was not afraid, but his bare palm could not withstand the cutting of the mud snail shell, so he hurriedly took out a stone armor talisman and pasted it on his body.

Suddenly, the appearance of the skin seemed to have an extra layer of dry and hard glue, Ling Xiao reached out to touch it, and sure enough, the mud snail no longer hurt his hands.

He was overjoyed and groped for it.

The mud snail has lived in the mud all his life, and he has never seen this scene, so he quickly dodges around.

Soon.

Ling Xiao touched a special mud snail.

It's harder, sharper, and firmly embedded in the mud.

Ling Xiao pressed it a few times, but he couldn't press it, and suddenly he had a plan, and the mana was injected into the mud snail.

It seems like I've only waited for a moment, and it's like, it's been a long time!

There was a hot feeling on the mud snail's body, and immediately after Ling Xiao, the earth quietly opened a gap!

Ling Xiao was ecstatic, and immediately burrowed into the crevice, entering a narrow and abnormal underground undercurrent cave.

Behind him, the mechanism that had lost its mana injection closed silently again.

"Awesome!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.

Who would have thought that the switch at the entrance to the second floor would actually be on an ordinary mud snail?

The people who built this secret realm have such a clever mind!

Without caring about any more emotion, Ling Xiao continued to sneak forward.

All voices were gone from him.

In the world, it seems that only the water in front of us is endless.

A small cave, unusually winding.

Ling Xiao didn't know how long he had been diving, the light of the diving talisman was getting dimmer and dimmer, and just as he was thinking about whether to replace a diving talisman, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of him!

Ling Xiao's spirit perked up, and his swimming speed increased sharply.

After a few moments, he finally walked out of the cave, and his eyes suddenly opened up!

Water!

Overhead, there was a faint light.

Ling Xiao kicked his legs and jumped up quickly, and after a while, he rushed out of the water.

He picked up the long sword magic weapon he had obtained from the Void Wanderer, and floated in the air with his hands in a hurry, and then looked around, his face showing a look of sudden realization.

It turned out to be a large lake.

Overhead, the stone walls of the cave are still the same as the stone walls, but they emit a sparkling light, like the immortal stars in the night sky, illuminating the scene inside the cave.

This second level is completely occupied by a large lake, and the only foothold is a small island in the middle of the lake.

Ling Xiao's heart swelled with heat, and he quickly flew towards the island.

On the island, there is a small wooden house!

[Ahh Finally a guest! 】

[Five hundred and thirty-seven years! 】

At the door of the wooden house, an old tree screamed excitedly.

The old tree was about a man tall, bare and gray from top to bottom, with only two oblique branches, and no leaves in sight.

[Actually, there is only a fourfold cultivation of qi refining, could it be a guy who hits great luck? ] 】

[Tut-tut...... Looking at your age, the spirit root is definitely not much better, shouldn't it be the same as the old turtle back then? 】

The old tree muttered to himself.

Ling Xiao was stunned.

The name of the old turtle, he had heard it from other trees before.

This person is the master of the secret realm?

As soon as the thought swirled in Ling Xiao's mind, he shook it off.

The island is not very large, and everything is in sight, and in the middle of it is a small wooden house, with the old tree planted at the door, and next to the old tree, a stove has been built, and some pots and pans are placed.

Nothing to pay attention to.

Ling Xiao took a step forward and pushed open the door.

Squeak......

The door hadn't been opened for many years, and it had long since decayed and made a screeching noise.

Ling Xiao's gaze was immediately attracted by a jade slip on the table, he stepped forward to pick up the jade slip, and his divine sense swept over.

"Ignorant of her fierce and ruthless, this is extremely dangerous, so I left this book, recording the income of a lifetime of hard work, if she dies, it will be opened by people who are destined for the future. Pray for the blessing of the Holy Emperor of the Thousand Autumns! If the turtle really has the opportunity to defy the heavens, and then renew his life, he will definitely come back, offer incense, and practice devotionally......"

In the jade slip, the first thing that caught my eye was such a paragraph.

The last suicide note of the previous owner!

Signed: Xuan Turtle Sanren.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to look down, the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

This jade slip is a jade slip of the "nourishing" type!

Nurture is the same as the spiritual field, which is a kind of means of survival for monks.

The spirit fish, spirit shrimp, and spirit animals raised can be eaten after they are matured and enhance their cultivation!

However, the conditions for cultivation are more demanding than those of Lingtian, and the cost required is also higher, and ordinary casual cultivators generally rarely study this.

Ling Xiao put away the jade slip and prepared to study it well when he went back.

Just looking at the generosity of these two layers of secret realms, Ling Xiao could speculate that this Xuangui Sanren must be an existence with a delicate mind and a high level of cultivation.

Perhaps, or the foundation monks?

The maintenance manual left by this person must be extraordinary!

Ling Xiao continued to look at the other things in the house, facing the wall of the door, there was a statue of a god, thinking that it was the "Thousand Autumn Holy Emperor".

"The Xuangui Sanren have not returned, it seems that the Thousand Autumn Holy Emperor is not spiritual! So, idolatry kills! ”

Ling Xiao silently scolded and continued to look at the object.

But after turning around, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

A couch, a table, a chair, a statue!

Besides, there is nothing left!

Ling Xiao could hardly believe his eyes, and frantically rummaged in the room, searching almost every corner under the bed, table, and god statues.

In the end, Ling Xiao sat on the stool and smiled bitterly.

There was really nothing left, and no trace of the mechanism was found.

The owner of the secret realm really only left a jade slip!

The statue looked extraordinary, but it was actually a clay sculpture, and Ling Xiao easily smashed it to pieces, but he didn't find anything.

He took out the jade slip again, turning it over and playing with it.

If this is the case, it also means that this jade slip is of extraordinary value.

Of course, it is also possible that he overestimated the Xuangui Sanren, and the other party was not a foundation builder, but a poor ghost in the Qi refining period?

Anyway, Ling Xiao sighed and prepared to leave.

"Senior, since you left a suicide note and didn't come back, it should be an immortal. Don't worry, I'll study the maintenance manual you left behind. ”

Before leaving, Ling Xiao bowed to the wooden house.

[The old turtle's breeding manual is indeed unique in the world. But alas, there's something more precious than that......]

[One is the spiritual eye at the bottom of the lake.] The other one, of course, is me! 】

[However, you should treat me like an ordinary dead tree, right?] It's a pity, it's a pity......]

The bare old tree at the door sighed, but before the words fell, he found that Ling Xiao looked at it, and those eyes were shining!
