"So there are Nightmare clansmen among the ancient ruins?" Yi Chen frowned as he looked at the black mutilated skin in Yu'er's hand.

"The Nightmare Clan was wiped out at the beginning of the First World War in the Ancients, there should be no survivors of the clan to this day, and this skin has no life, even if there are Nightmare clansmen in the ruins, I am afraid it is just a withered corpse. But Yu'er shook her head, stared at the object in her palm, and then spoke.

Hearing this, Yi Chen's expression moved slightly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded, originally he was worried that the Nightmare Clan had a clan that would bring harm if it was in this world, but at this moment, Yu'er's words made him a little relieved.

"The vassals of the demon clan...... After being silent for a moment, he took a deep breath, Yi Chen's eyes were far-reaching, the demon clan was the most terrifying clan in ancient times, and it was certainly not easy for this nightmare clan to become its vassal.

"Three months later, you need to be cautious when you go to the ancient ruins. Secretly muttering to himself in his heart, Yi Chen nodded, and then his eyes were certain, and he heard the news about the Nightmare Clan, which made him realize that this trip would not be as simple as he imagined.

At this time, Yu'er handed the black skin back to the old man Yunbai, seeing this, Yi Chen pursed his lips, and then immediately entered the cultivation state again, and grasped the aura of the spiritual spring.

If he could break through to the second floor of the foundation earlier, he would have enough time to make some preparations, and he would be more sure of going to the ancient ruins.

Seeing that Yi Chen had started to cultivate, the old man Yunbai nodded slightly, did not continue to bother, and immediately withdrew from this place.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye......

Cultivating calmly every day, with the help of the spiritual spring and the spirit gathering array, Yi Chen also broke through to the second layer of the foundation building naturally, and the spiritual energy in his body was twice as vast as before, but gradually, he found that the spiritual spring gushing out of the spring was slowly decreasing, and the spiritual energy was also much lighter, and it seemed that it was close to the drying period that the old man Yunbai said.

After cultivating for a few more days, Yi Chen made his cultivation completely stable and refined a little, but after cultivating for half a day, the supply of spiritual energy suddenly stopped, causing him to withdraw from the cultivation state, and immediately looked at the spiritual spring that no longer gushed out of the spring, and after being slightly stunned, he sighed.

"If this spiritual spring is really forever, then it would be fine, maybe I will pay some price with the Yunbai seniors in exchange for long-term cultivation here, I am afraid that two years will be enough to step into the foundation building consummation ......" Yi Chen shook his head and said.

The spiritual spring is an extremely rare thing, it is rare to encounter, it is very beneficial to cultivation, and now it is rare for him to touch one, but it is a pity that it can not be used indefinitely.

"Let's start preparing for the ancient ruins......" After a moment of silence, Yi Chen looked at him, and then said to himself, walked down the stone platform, and came to a flat clearing, at the same time, the sword fingers in his hands rose together, and carved on the ground.

One by one, the formation began to take shape under its carving, and intertwined the mysterious veins, exuding extraordinary fluctuations, Yi Chen was carving the formation of the Soul Melting Array.

His first preparation was to incorporate this Soul Melting Formation into his body!

"If I accept this array, I will be able to save a lot of cumbersome processes when I enter the state of soul melting in the future, and the formation can be communicated in my body at any time. Yi Chen secretly said while arranging the formation, the formation gradually took shape completely under his carving, exuding good fluctuations, and after a while, the formation was finally carved out, Yi Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then, his face became solemn again.

This is not a simple matter, the Spirit Melting Array Technique is from the hands of the predecessors of the Immortal Hand Clan, and it is also incomparably mysterious, and it may be difficult to incorporate it into the body, Yi Chen estimates that it will be several times more difficult than the original Soul Gathering Array.

But he was still sure that no matter how mysterious this array was, it would not surpass the ancient array, and even the ancient array he had included in his body, and this array would only take some time at most.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen did not hesitate at the moment, the formation pattern in his body slowly lit up, his face was solemn, and he pressed his hands on the formation on the ground, and began to harmonize the formation pattern in his body with this array.

Half an hour later......

Yi Chen withdrew his hands from the ground, and then let out a long breath, revealing a look of satisfaction, on the ground in front of him, the formation had disappeared, and in his body, a small soul melting formation appeared, slowly rotating, far away from the ancient formation of the dantian, floating on the top.

Looking down inward, seeing this, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless, this spirit melting formation was really not as good as this ancient formation, just like the original spirit gathering array, it was also far excluded from the dantian, and he didn't dare to approach at all.

But Yi Chen was still satisfied, this array had already been incorporated into his body, and it didn't matter if he wasn't in the dantian, and if he wanted to enter the state of soul fusion in the future, he could communicate the formation directly from his body at any time.

After making the first preparation, Yi Chen closed his eyes and sat down for a moment to recover, and the Soul Melting Formation was slightly consumed by him.

After about half a burnt incense, Yi Chen opened his eyes, his eyes showed essence, at the moment his divine sense hooked the storage bag, and immediately flashed in front of him, a bunch of items appeared in front of him, there were magic weapons, there were also low-level pills, and there was an extremely familiar thing among them, when Yi Chen saw it, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he smiled.

What he saw was the wooden monkey that Yan Hao had given him.

Looking at this wooden monkey, Yi Chen's heart warmed slightly, this wooden monkey has been with him for a long time, Yan Hao has sent him a total of two wooden monkeys, one was destroyed by the power of heaven, this is only Yan Hao later carved to him again, accompanied him through a lot, when he refined himself as a formation and stepped into the way of the immortal array master, this wooden monkey witnessed it on the side, like a talisman, which made him cherish it very much.

Gently rubbed the wooden monkey in his hand, and after a while, Yi Chen smiled slightly, cherished it and put it away, then looked at the pile of magic weapons and low-grade pills in front of him, nodded, and after putting it away with the same wave, he got up and walked towards the market outside the bamboo house.

This was his second preparation, and he was going to exchange these magic weapons and the pills used in the Qi Condensation Period cultivation for spirit stones and healing pills.

There are several magic weapons, one of which is a foundation building period magic weapon, and the rest are low-level magic weapons, and those cultivation pills can only be used by Qi Condensing Cultivators, both of which are of little use to him, it is better to exchange some spirit stones and healing pills, these two are what he is in short supply now.

When he came to Fang City, Yi Chen did not hesitate, and rushed straight to the location of one of the four foundation building monks, he wanted to exchange the magic weapon in the hands of these foundation building monks for a medium-grade spirit stone or a high-grade spirit stone, which could not be exchanged in the hands of those low-level monks.

After visiting all four foundation-building monks, Yi Chen exchanged for dozens of medium-grade spirit stones, and paid several good magic weapons that could be used in the later stage of condensation, but it was not enough for him, and the magic weapon of the foundation building period was still not traded.

In fact, the four foundation-building monks had been operating in Cangqing Gufang City for many years, and their net worth was quite wealthy, and it was more than enough to buy a foundation-building period magic weapon, but more than a month ago, the old man Yunbai had already traded a foundation-building period magic weapon with each of them, which cost them a lot of money, so now the spirit stones on their bodies were not enough to complete the transaction with Yi Chen to complete the foundation-building magic weapon.

"That magic weapon of the foundation building period will be kept with the old man Yunbai after he comes back, and he will exchange the spirit stone with him......" After pondering for a while, Yi Chen said to himself, and nodded lightly after speaking, the old man Yunbai is a senior in the Xuan Period, and there should be a high-grade spirit stone on his body, and I am afraid that only the latter can buy this treasure in this Cangqing Valley now, but two days ago, the latter left Cangqing Valley, and now he is not here.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen pursed his lips, and immediately walked towards the place where the pills were sold in the market, he had a lot of pills for qi condensation cultivation, and the value of the healing pills was not high, so he should be able to exchange a lot.

After a small half of the incense, Yi Chen walked out of a pill shop, his face was quite satisfied, he changed to more than a hundred medium healing pills, although it was not as good as the high-grade healing pills used in Qingxuanzong in the past, but the efficacy of the medicine was not low, as long as it was not a fatal injury, with this pill could save his life.

Yi Chen can be regarded as a loss of having eaten enough without healing pills, in the prison world, he almost died, it is precisely because he ran out of healing pills, if he had enough healing pills at that time, how could his life hang by a thread three times and twice?

And when the middle-aged man was recuperating from his injuries, if there was a healing pill, he would be able to fully recover in just a few days, so how could it be delayed for two whole months.

Therefore, Yi Chen learned a lesson, no matter what dangerous things in the future, he must have enough healing pills, which is equivalent to adding many more chances to save his life.

The elixir spirit stones have been obtained, Yi Chen then walked back to the bamboo house, the two most important preparations have been completed, he plans to continue to cultivate, although there is no spiritual spring, but there is still a spirit gathering array, if you can improve some cultivation, you will improve some, and the rest is to wait for the day when the ancient ruins will open in cultivation.

Two days later, the old man Yunbai returned to Cangqing Valley, and Yi Chen exchanged the foundation building period magic weapon with him, and obtained ten high-grade spirit stones, which made him quite satisfied, dozens of medium-grade spirit stones and ten high-grade spirit stones, although they were not many for him, but they were enough to come in handy at a critical moment.

Time passed like water in the cultivation day after day, and soon, more than a month passed.

Early in the morning, Yi Chen slowly opened his eyes, some essence flashed in his eyes, he retreated from his cultivation state, and got up and walked outside the bamboo house, today he was going to go to the ancient ruins with the old man Yunbai, although the ruins were only opened in three days, but for some reasons, they needed to get there in advance.

His cultivation has not improved much compared to more than a month ago, the spiritual spring has dried up, and he has not used those spirit stones to cultivate, only relying on the weak spiritual energy between the spirit gathering array and heaven and earth, and the cultivation speed is really like a turtle crawling.

But Yi Chen is still content, this speed is not slow, and now his breath is extremely stable, his cultivation is as stable as a rock, the cultivation of the second layer of the foundation is very deep, almost unshakable, and his cultivation is not urgent, he walks very steadily.

The old man Yunbai had been waiting outside the bamboo house for a long time, but he didn't bother when he found out that Yi Chen was cultivating before, and when he saw Yi Chen walking out at this moment, he immediately smiled gently, nodded, and then took the lead in the air and went straight to the outside of the valley.

Seeing this, Yi Chen's eyes showed sharpness, and he immediately took a deep breath, and the rainbow light flashed under his feet, and he also followed closely.
