Perhaps it was because the loud noise was too loud, like a hammer striking on the head, and the strong pain made Xiao Youran's and somewhat drowsy eyes suddenly brighten, and he saw a figure in a black robe flying upside down from his head, and then there seemed to be warm blood splashed on his face.

Xiao Youran hurriedly turned his gaze, but saw that the white-robed old man, who was originally missing half of his upper body, now didn't even have his right leg, and there was still a faint black and red light and shadow on his face, gasping for breath, as if he had just forcibly performed some kind of secret technique of self-mutilation.

Not far from him, Qin Yulan was struggling to writhe and break free from a beam of white light that had been partially dimmed after being affected by the explosion of the secret art, and the person who flew over his head also fell to the ground after collapsing the broken building on the other side, unable to get up for a while.

Before he could react to what was going on with a surprised smile, he saw that the old man in the white robe was reluctant, and after glancing at himself painfully, he roared violently, and then soared into the air, turning into a white shadow and speeding away, leaving a strange "Changhong" in the air with the blood mist sprayed from his severed limbs.

All this happened too quickly, it was a long story, but in fact, it was all at the snap of his fingers, and for Xiao Youran, who was not very clear-headed, it was not much different from what he felt when he was unconscious just now, and even he suspected at first that his consciousness had not returned, and he was still stuck in the fragment of memories that were both illusory and real.

There was still a little stunned smile, still experiencing the "affectionate retrospective" eyes of the white-robed old man when he left, how difficult it was to let go, just like when an elder full of love had to leave his spoiled junior......

However, these were just his imagination and wishful thinking, and when he was about to leave, he was not looking at his person at all, but the hammer handle that was blown away by the impact of the explosion, and the hammer handle coincidentally hit Xiao Youran, who had just woken up and looked up, and was now stuck diagonally in the bun above his head, which was the real reason why he had the feeling of a hammer hitting his head at that time.

It was very difficult to get up, and I smiled leisurely and felt that my head was as heavy as lead, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to support it steadily, and my neck tendons were stretched sore.

"Click~!"

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking came out, and then he laughed leisurely and heard Qin Yulan's anxious shout.

"Run away~!Why are you still standing stupid?!"

Xiao Youran hurriedly turned around to look when he heard the sound, but his body and neck were turned around, but his head was half a beat slower, and he vaguely only saw the white light that Qin Yulan seemed to have broken free, and was running away from the wound on her waist.

"What's the matter, why are ......you running away? I can't run~!"

Although he didn't know why, he also knew that there must be an accident, no matter what the situation was, he still had to meet with him first and then make plans, but as soon as he took a step, he felt as if someone was holding down the top of his head with a strong force, and his whole body was heavy and abnormal, and he couldn't run at all.

"What? you...... Hey...... ...... on your head Be careful......"

Qin Yulan, who was running, looked back, and saw that the half-hearted hammer handle had changed its original posture due to the leisurely movement of laughter, and was standing in the middle of her hair at the moment, like a lightning rod.

"What's on your head? Be careful? Why don't you talk like this...... Hey~?...... you"

Xiao Youran reached out and touched her head when she heard this, but as soon as she touched the handle of the hammer, she saw her running away, and hurriedly stretched out her other hand to stop her, but suddenly felt a black shadow flashed next to her eyes, and the black-robed man who had fallen in the ruins before had regained his mobility at some point, and was passing by him at this time, chasing straight towards Qin Yulan.

"You ...... What the hell, so heavy?!"

Compared to the black-robed man passing by, he turned his head to look at him meaningfully, and what made Xiao Youyou stunned was that the short stick-like object taken from his head had such a weight, no wonder he felt that his head was heavier than his body before!

Just stared at it for a moment, smiled leisurely and recognized that this was a piece of hammer handle held by the statue holding a giant hammer, although I didn't understand that the statue was shattered, how this thing was preserved, and I don't know what material it was, but it felt extraordinary to the touch, and it was not the time to explore at the moment, so I put it away and hurriedly chased after it.

But when Xiao Youran chased out of the distance with the "stolen" pearl, until the edge of this underground cave, he didn't see any trace of the two people, tried to sense the fluctuations of demonic power or cultivation, and found that they were all pointing upwards, Xiao Youran had to admit a fact that made him depressed.

It turns out that only I run with my legs, and everyone else uses flying!

"What's this called?"

muttered depressedly, smiled leisurely and could only look at the wall and sigh, he didn't have the ability to fly to it, nor did he have the ability to make holes, and he only had a Liquan gun on his body that was considered a sharper blade, and he mortgaged it to Bao.

Although he learned the method of attaching cultivation to his arm from the remnant mind, Xiao Youran was not naïve enough to think that he could dig through such a deep mountain wall with his poor cultivation, so it was imperative to find another way.

However, since he was already on the edge, Xiao leisurely simply walked along the mountain wall, and circled the cave from the periphery, and after unsurprisingly not finding other paths, he had to sense the guidance of the Xuan Qi again and returned to the square where the statue was located.

On the way, he also searched and probed a few houses unbelievingly, but the result was naturally nothing, and there was nothing to be annoyed about by Xiao Youran, after all, he could find a treasure by entering a ruin, and he didn't think he had that bad luck.

When Xiao Youran stood by the pool again, looking at the small spring that slowly gushed out the clear water, the name "Tongyou Spring", which he had obtained from the "database" before he fell unconscious, was once again softly read out by him.

It's also strange to say, Xiao Youran, a data inventory that does not belong to the category of memory, every time there is a large fluctuation in the sea of knowledge, he will inexplicably obtain a part of it, even if he doesn't know how much the total stock is, but he can still feel that the acquisition is only a very small part of it, so it can be inferred from this that the complete data information is not endless, at least it is as vast as the sea!

And the information he gets every time is not limited to the same kind, just like last time he got information on alchemy refining tools and other aspects, this time it is information on heaven and earth treasures, special resources, etc., including this hidden spring.

Tongyou Spring only exists in the earthly realm, and it is an extremely special and naturally formed cultivation resource.

The liquid gushing out of its spring is actually an extremely rich soul qi, a liquid state that has been refined and compressed by the power of nature in a long and narrow closed passage environment, that is, soul liquid.

If this is the case, it can be called the "Soul Spring", and the reason why it is called "Tongyu" is due to another important characteristic of this spring.

Whoever passes through the secluded spring, no matter how big or small, the internal passage of the spring is connected to a certain soul well, and the soul well has been mentioned before, it is the source of the soul qi of the earth, but the "soul well" is only an intuitive name taken by the outside world according to its characteristics, and it also has an ancient name in the earth, called "You"!

According to legend, there are nine "ghosts" in the earthly realm, also known as the nine shadows, and "shadows" are also the road to the underworld, so there is a "netherworld" saying, which naturally means from the secluded to the underworld, or the underworld.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but this passage is not something that can be passed at will, and the cold springs that are gushing and erupting all the time in it are enough to wipe out all the earth realm cultivators who are lucky and want to ascend to the sky in one step, so the Nine Shadows are commonly known as "Nine Springs".

Since the Nine Shadows are a passage connecting the underworld, it is not difficult to understand why there is Xuan Qi in it, because Xuan Qi is a unique high-level cultivation resource in the Underworld, and when the Xuan Qi passes through the Nine Shadows Cold Spring, it is degraded and triggered, and only then does it transform into the soul qi of the Earth Realm, which is also the fundamental reason why the soul liquid can be naturally generated in the Tongyou Spring.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that the reason why the earthly realm cultivation path is named the "secluded" path, and the name of the Tongyin decision in the Dao method practiced by Xiao Youran, are closely related to it, implying that only by cultivating enough to "pass through the secluded" can you expect to soar to a higher realm of "underworld"!

Of course, the name of Tongyou Spring is purely literal, because it is connected to the Nine Shadows, so the soul liquid is mixed with a very small amount of undegraded Xuan Qi.
