Stepping into the collapsed and dilapidated palace, the first thing that entered their eyes was not the imagined lush greenery, but corpses lying on the ground.
As far as the eye could see, the number of corpses within the hall was close to a hundred. Compared to the corpses that they had occasionally seen in the corners, this place was like hell.
Moreover, with so many corpses lying on the ground, regardless of their previous cultivation, they had accumulated a huge amount of resentment that lingered in this palace.
Even if the resentment was invisible and could not hurt people, it could make the three of them feel very depressed. It was as if they could see the appearance of these people when they died a long time ago. It was difficult to look directly at them.
After such a tragic scene, the three of them finally saw a huge vine in the corner of the palace. The huge vine drilled out from the ground and directly pierced through the roof of the palace, as if it wanted to reach the sky.
What was surprising was that such a spirit plant in a sea of resentment did not give people any sense of eeriness. Instead, it was filled with a faint holy aura.
This situation was surprising. After all, no matter what, plants that grew in an environment would have a corresponding aura. But this vine was the opposite, or even completely different.
So in the end, Yan Chutian could only sigh. Perhaps only this sentence could explain the situation in front of them.
Since they had discovered the Spirit Plant, Yan Chutian naturally scanned every part of the Spirit Plant, looking for possible Spirit Fruits.
Not letting down Yan Chutian's expectations, after looking around, a dark red fruit the size of a thumb appeared in his sight. This fruit did not exist alone, but would appear at a certain distance. Moreover, the closer to the top of the vine, the brighter the color of the fruit, dark red.
"It seems that our luck is really good."
Yan Chutian turned around and smiled at the two women. Since there was a spirit fruit, they would not return empty-handed.
Hearing this, Qiu Yu also revealed a smile. Although she did not need too much external help, this spirit fruit could be of great help to Yan Chutian, so she was very happy.
However, when he recalled the rumors of Yan Chutian and Yan Ningzhu having an ambiguous relationship, even though he knew the reason behind it, Qiu Yu restrained his smile and glared at Yan Chutian. "What are you laughing at? Quickly go and take it off!"
Seeing this, although Yan Chutian didn't understand what was going on, he sensed Qiu Yu's anger and didn't want to ask for a rebuff. He quickly smiled and listened to her, climbing up the cliff along the vines.
A moment later, all the spirit fruits on the vine were swept clean by Yan Chutian. He wouldn't leave them behind. Otherwise, it would only benefit the other so-called heaven's pride experts who found this place.
After plucking all the spirit fruits on the vine, Yan Chutian naturally had a bountiful harvest. The number of spirit fruits reached an astonishing twelve.
Twelve spirit fruits for three people. This was easy to divide, four for each person. It was fair.
The flow of space in the ancient ruins was different from the outside world. Therefore, they had been here for about a year and a half. Therefore, Yan Chutian naturally wouldn't hide the four spirit fruits and immediately ate them. Even if it was only to consolidate his cultivation of the fourth layer of Elixir, it would be good.
Like him, the two women who received the spirit fruits also ate the spirit fruits on the spot and quickly refined them. Even if they carried the spirit fruits with them, they were still external objects. How could it be better to directly transform them into a part of one's cultivation?
The unknown spirit fruit glowed slightly when it entered his mouth, but when the refinement began, the rolling medicinal power contained inside quickly spread out, turning into pure Spiritual Energy that continuously flowed into Yan Chutian's dantian, filling up any trace of emptiness.
However, what surprised Yan Chutian was that when the refined spirit fruit's medicinal power flowed into his dantian, the Mysterious Yang Qi Fire Seed that had been silent for a long time actually moved again, with a unique attractive force sweeping over, stripping the substance from the medicinal power and absorbing it.
Others wouldn't know about this scene, but as the owner of this body, how could Yan Chutian not know?
What's more, he could clearly feel that the substance that was extracted from the Profound Yang Qi Fire Seed was very similar to the substance that was extracted from the Heavenly Mother Golden Lotus when he was refining it!
Thinking of this, how could Yan Chutian not make the connection? Could it be that the spirit fruit contained something similar to the metal contained in the Heavenly Mother Golden Lotus?
If this was the case, wouldn't he have found an opportunity to upgrade his Mysterious Yang Qi?
At this moment, Yan Chutian's heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly refined and absorbed the four spirit fruits, then quickly got up and looked at the bottom of the vine.
Where did the metal substance contained in the spirit fruit come from? It naturally came from the vine, so if there really was some strange metal, it must exist at the root of the spirit plant!
Shifting his gaze, Qiu Yu and Luo Xue were still sitting cross-legged, so Yan Chutian didn't intend to disturb the two. After condensing a Spiritual Energy Light Curtain for the two of them to block any movement, he hid his excitement and walked step by step towards the root of the spirit plant.
Quickly walking to the root of the spirit plant, Yan Chutian quickly dug down along the roots. It may be difficult for mortals to dig, but for a cultivator like Yan Chutian, it was naturally not difficult.
After digging to a depth of several feet, Yan Chutian indeed discovered something different. The root of this spirit plant was indeed concealing a mystery!
He saw the vines spread, and a sealed stone room appeared below. This underground stone room had been sealed for many years. Even if the vines spread along the ground, it didn't reveal the slightest aura. It was only because Yan Chutian suddenly opened it that it reappeared in the world.
An extremely strong rotten aura spread out, but Yan Chutian would not be deterred by such a rotten aura. He immediately jumped into the stone room and glanced around with the help of the dim light. Soon, his eyes locked on the stone box on the stone platform in the center of the stone room.
The root of the spirit plant was also this vine. He saw a small root growing out from the cracks of the stone box, and then breaking out from the dome above. It kept growing crazily, and finally grew into a giant tree.
Yan Chutian suddenly understood why such a vine could grow like a giant tree. It was so strange, but he had no impression of it in his mind.
It should be the thing inside the stone box that caused the vine to mutate and grow so big, like a towering tree.
It was also because of this that Yan Chutian became more interested in the things that might be inside this stone box. Even if it was not the strange metal that he had imagined, it would certainly be something extraordinary!
But at this point, Yan Chutian became more careful. Such a place was very similar to a hidden secret room, and the stone box on the stone platform was naturally like a treasure that was protected in the secret room.
In such a place, it was very likely that layers of protection were set up, and the purpose was to protect the thing inside the stone box. So if he acted rashly and acted rashly, he was afraid that his end would be very miserable.
But then again, when Yan Chutian rushed into the stone room, he was already acting rashly, but the stone room was still calm, and no danger appeared.
"Could it be that with the passage of time, all the mechanisms have been destroyed?"
After pondering for a while, Yan Chutian naturally thought of this possibility. It was impossible for things to exist forever, and those mechanisms and dangers could of course decay. And the situation in front of him seemed to be the best explanation.
But with a cautious attitude, Yan Chutian did not act rashly. Instead, he transformed his Spiritual Power, and used his Spiritual Power Hand to slowly open the dusty stone box.
As the stone box was opened, there was also an ancient smell of decay, but it was still not as dangerous as Yan Chutian was worried about. This made Yan Chutian calm down a little.
Maybe there was no danger set up here. Of course, it was also possible that with the passage of time, those so-called dangers had been destroyed and lost their effect.
So next, Yan Chutian's gaze naturally fell on the inside of the stone box. Looking at it, he saw a short sword lying quietly in the stone box. But although it was a short sword, Yan Chutian could only vaguely recognize it, because this short sword had already decayed and many parts had even disappeared, leaving only remnants.
