Ye Qin was considering whether to explore the deepest part of Lujiabao when a faint yellow shadow silently appeared a few feet away from him.

"Brother Qin, have you found a spiritual object over there?" the yellow shadow asked in a low voice.

"The two forbidden places I explored before were not too strictly guarded, one was an ore warehouse, which stored a lot of ore. One is the old storage room, where some discarded artifacts are placed. Other than that, nothing special was found. Brother Shi, what's the situation on your side?" Ye Qin glanced at the yellow shadow and said flatly. The yellow shadow was Shi Hanyang, and they went separately to search the few remaining forbidden places in Lujiabao.

They each searched two places, and now they met again here.

"I didn't find anything over there. ”

Ye Qin nodded slightly, not doubting Shi Hanyang's words. If Shi Hanyang really discovered the spirit fruit, then the first thing to do was to leave Lujiabao instead of continuing to stay here.

"There is only one last forbidden place left in Lujiabao that has not been explored. But there are two foundation-building monks here, one more than in other places. If you want to bypass their surveillance and enter the forbidden place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it, and if you alarm the other monks in the castle, it will be in vain. ”

Ye Qin cautiously looked at the deepest part of Lujiabao, a little worried. It would have been easier to get in if there was only one Foundation Monk guarding him, but with two of them, he wouldn't be able to do it.

"I'll take care of these two guards, Brother Qin will help me keep an eye on the surroundings, and if anyone else is close here, try to attract them as much as possible. ”

Shi Hanyang looked at the deepest part of Lujiabao with a cold gaze. He had been eyeing this place for a long time, this was the retreat place of the ancestor of the Lu family, and he didn't dare to approach it easily like Ye Qin. He waited in the Lu family fort for more than a month, and finally waited for the ancestor of the Lu family to go out, how could he miss such a good opportunity.

In the deepest part of Lujiabao, a middle-aged fourth-floor monk and a young sixth-layer monk were guarding outside, talking and laughing, drinking wine. This is the retreat place of the ancestor of the Lu family, which belongs to one of the forbidden places of the Lu family, but they all know that the secret room of the ancestor retreat is actually empty, and there are no valuable items in it, and the valuable items are all brought on the ancestor.

Therefore, the only reason they were sent by Lu Yuanhong to guard this place was to prevent idle people from entering the secret room of the ancestor's retreat by mistake, so as not to provoke the ancestor's anger. Tonight, the second young master of the Lu family got married, and the two monks in charge of their duties were also allowed to drink a little wine by making an exception.

Suddenly, they saw a yellow-clothed monk carrying a wine gourd, humming a little song, and staggering towards them.

"What person? This is the forbidden place of the Lu family, leave this place immediately!"

The two guards immediately became alert, and one of the middle-aged monks asked in a low voice. But before he could finish his sentence, the yellow-clothed monk fell to the ground drunkenly, and he was still babbling something in a very obscene manner. I wanted to get up several times, but I seemed to be a little drunk, and I fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and finally I fell asleep on the ground, and the snoring was shocking.

"A rotten drunkard, it's really unlucky, big brother, what do you think?"

The young monk stepped forward and kicked him, but the yellow-robed monk did not move, and he could only turn back to the middle-aged monk.

The middle-aged monk then walked over and looked at the monk's face, waved his sleeves to wipe away the drunken wine, frowned, and said, "It seems that it should be a guest who has drunk too much at the wedding banquet, carry him away, and throw him into the empty mansion casually." ”

The young monk nodded, lifted the fat man in the yellow shirt, and threw him farther away.

However, the drunken yellow-clothed monk had a strange change, and a pink mist suddenly erupted from under the yellow-clothed monk's body, spraying on the two guards.

Both of them were taken aback, but the mist was surprisingly strange, and it penetrated into their bodies in a very short time, and before they could even shout an exclamation, they fell directly to the ground softly, and the skin on their bodies was glowing with a bewitching red.

The yellow-shirted monk jumped up, and there was no drunkenness on his slightly chubby face, but a little smugness. With his cultivation, it was easy to defeat the two Foundation Cultivators, but it was not easy to restrain the two Foundation Monks at once.

Ye Qin was secretly frightened when he saw Shi Hanyang so neatly knocking the two foundation building period guards to the ground. He floated out of the darkness and praised: "Brother Shi is really a good method, I don't know what kind of poison this is, it can actually paralyze two mid-level monks in the foundation building stage at once?"

"This is the red mist, the paralyzing poison refined by the stinky liquid of the sixth-order multi-tailed demon fox, which is extremely rare in the immortal cultivation world. It took me a lot of money to collect such a small gourd, but unfortunately it was all used on the two of them today. Let's go into this secret room. Monk Zhuji was caught in the red mist and could only paralyze for a few hours, and we only had two or three hours to search this secret room. ”

Shi Hanyang smiled lightly, carried the two guards of the Lu family who had been completely paralyzed, and went straight into the secret room where the ancestor of the Lu family was retreating, threw the guards in a corner, did not kill them, and then looked at the secret room.

Ye Qin suddenly followed in.

He remembered something. Six years ago, when she was still a Qi cultivator, she was tried in Wankuling, and Senior Sister Yan Xuan, who led the team, was also poisoned by such symptoms, and it took three days to recover. Later, he obtained a red gourd magic weapon from the disciples of Da Luomen, and he still keeps it today. It's just that he didn't expect that this thing would also have such a strong paralyzing effect on the foundation building monk, which should not be underestimated.

He and Shi Hanyang entered a secret room in the deepest part of Lujiabao.

The chamber was ten zhang in size, made of solid stone slabs one foot wide, quite spacious, but empty, with nothing but a straw mat in the middle and an incense burner. This retreat and cultivation place of the ancestors of the Lu family is surprisingly simple.

Ye Qin looked at the secret room a little, and he had to admit that he couldn't find anything strange in this secret room, let alone the Spirit Fruit Tree.

Still, he didn't believe there was really anything here. If there really was a spirit fruit tree in Lujiabao, this ancestor's retreat place was the most suspicious.

Ye Qin repeatedly observed Shi Hanyang, and Shi Hanyang's learning was very complicated, including wonderful techniques, mechanisms, formations, etc., all inclusive. If you want to find something, Shi Hanyang is better than him.

Sure enough, Shi Hanyang glanced at the secret room, carefully inspected every place, and began to tinker in the secret room.

In less than half an hour, suddenly, Shi Hanyang pressed several stone slabs in the secret room, and the stone wall on the side of the secret room slowly opened, revealing a hole**.

This is a natural hole**, somewhat narrow, which can accommodate two or three people to pass, and it has a cold and damp smell.

"Although the cultivation of the ancestor of the Lu family is high, but the technique of this mechanism is not very clever! If my expectations are right, the biggest secret of the Lu family is in this stone cave, Brother Qin, follow me in and have a look." ”

Shi Hanyang smiled, smiled and walked towards the stone **.

Ye Qin smiled and followed.

But his heart became vigilant, and at the last moment, the biggest danger came from this Shi Sect Master who was full of smiling faces, the monk who came out of the place where dragons and snakes were mixed in the land of chaos, turned his face faster than turning a book, and when he found the spirit fruit, he didn't believe that this Shi Sect Master, who always talked about "Brother Qin" when he had nothing to do, would have the slightest mercy on his subordinates.

The two of them walked down about hundreds of zhang deep along the stone cave, and finally found a very clean underground stone cave.

There was no way to go here, only a cold Tan flowing out of the crack in the stone, the turquoise pool of water, far away made Ye Qin feel a biting chill, but there was not the slightest sign of frost, this cold strange water.

Ye Qin quickly put all his attention on an ancient vine and old tree.

Next to the cold cold Tan, there is a lonely old tree that is more than a foot tall and somewhat dry, this tree is only more than thousands of years old, and there are three green spirit fruits on this tree.

However, this old tree was protected by a pale blue water curtain, if it was expected, this should be the formation that the ancestor of the Lu family used to protect the spirit fruit tree.

"Brother Shi, the spiritual object that the Holy Emperor is referring to should be the spiritual fruit on this old tree, right?"

Ye Qin stared at the spirit fruit tree with a faint smile, but he stood far away, away from the old tree and Shi Hanyang.

He didn't act rashly, firstly, he was not proficient in the formation, and he could not unlock the forbidden formation on the old tree, once the forbidden formation was touched, it was likely to alarm the ancestors of the Lu family and the disciples of the Lu family, which would be not good, and secondly, he didn't want to cause Shi Hanyang's misunderstanding, thinking that he wanted to compete for this spiritual fruit.

"Brother Qin, there are only three spirit fruits, it doesn't seem to be enough!" Shi Hanyang turned his head and turned his gaze to Ye Qin with a smile.

"These three spirit fruits were found by Brother Shi, so they naturally belong to Brother Shi. Ye Qinqian said.

Shi Hanyang was really a little strange this time, he thought that Ye Qin also wanted to get this spiritual fruit, and the two would inevitably have a vicious fight, but he didn't expect Ye Qin to humbly push it at this juncture, but he was not easy to do, he was a little skeptical that Ye Qin was trying to engage in some conspiracy, but the conspiracy tricks were useful in front of him?

"You don't want the spirit fruit, so what do you want?"

"I just want to get a branch of this old tree, and when I go back, I try to plant it. ”

"Do you want the branches of this old tree? The branches should grow into trees, let alone a thousand years of work, after the tree is grown, it will take more than four or five hundred years to bear fruit, otherwise I am afraid it will not bear fruit, and when you get the spiritual fruit, it will be fifteen hundred years later." ”

"It doesn't matter, although I don't need it, but my great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren in 1,500 years will be able to use this water spirit fruit tree sooner or later. ”

"Then you might as well just take the whole tree away, and save at least a thousand years of work. Shi Hanyang smiled disapprerovingly.

"This is not good, take away a branch on the tree, Lu Laozu will only be angry, and will not keep chasing after it, but taking away this old tree that is related to the luck of the Lu family, Lu Laozu is only afraid that he will track it down in his lifetime, and he must kill me, I want to remove the entire old tree, but I am afraid that I will not be able to find Lu Laozu's anger." Ye Qin shook his head with a wry smile, he was not greedy enough to ignore any danger. For him, getting a branch was not much different from getting the entire Spirit Fruit Tree, so why should he remove the entire tree to stimulate Na Lu Old Ancestor.

"Haha, Brother Qin is quite wise, but Brother Qin seems to recognize the magic of this tree?"

"Yes, there is a detailed record of this in the Qingdanmen's treasure spirit fruit classics, this tree is called 'Five Spirit Fruit Tree', which belongs to the eighth-order spirit tree, and has five attributes, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. And the one in front of you is obviously the water spirit fruit tree in the five spirit fruit trees, the water spirit fruit tree must grow in the water spirit land, the lack of abundant water spirit in the place, can not grow this Lujiabao in the upper reaches of the largest river in the South Liang country, this place is the most abundant water spirit place, this tree can grow here, it is not surprising, Lujiabao's prosperous luck is on this old tree.

The water spirit fruit tree, one fruit bears three fruits, usually five hundred years a ripe, the ground has turned into the water spirit qi, these three fruits are not ripe, the medicinal power is not enough, I am afraid it will take nearly a hundred years to ripen, however, because the spirit fruit belongs to water, only the foundation building monk with the water spirit root can have the effect of breaking through the bottleneck of the golden pill, even if the other spirit root monks take it, it has no effect. ”

"It turns out that Brother Qin is a disciple from the Qingdan Sect, this is not surprising, this sect leader can't wait for a hundred years for so long, these three green fruits are used as a ripe fruit, and the effect is almost the same. ”

While the two were chatting about this, Shi Hanyang had already cautiously come to the formation around the spirit fruit tree, and he was quickly breaking the forbidden formation, this place was dangerous, and it was not a place that could stay for a long time.

In an hour, this blue formation was cracked, and it was funny to say, the ancestor of the Lu family was not proficient in the formation, and he was unwilling to use the hand of a dummy, so he only made a small water attribute guard formation, but Shi Hanyang was extremely proficient in the formation, he could easily break into the underground imperial tomb, and a small guard formation seemed too simple to him.

With the disappearance of the blue water curtain, the three unripe cyan spirit fruits were also included in Shi Hanyang's palm.

Shi Hanyang was full of joy at this time, and after a lot of hard work, he finally found the spirit fruit that the Holy Emperor said, and the most important thing is that his spirit root attribute happens to have a water spirit root, although the potential is very low, but there is also a pill, relying on this spirit fruit, he has a chance to get a pill.

Ye Qin waited for Shi Hanyang to collect the spirit fruit, and then he walked towards the spirit fruit tree, wanting to cut off a branch from the old tree, at this moment, he suddenly had a heart flutter, and he glanced at the entrance of the stone cave ** vigilantly, and with a slight step, he hid under a rock in the cave.

Shi Hanyang's movements were no slower than him, and in the blink of an eye, he had shrunk under a shadow near the cold pool, staring at the entrance of the cave with cold eyes, he passed a secret word to Ye Qin, and cooperated with the action, now that the spirit fruit is in hand, if he encounters an opponent, even if he kills the killer, he will not hesitate.

There was a slight movement outside the cave, and someone was coming in.
