Su Yu coldly glanced at Lu Xing, then looked at the pitch-black entrance of the valley with a grave expression.
What caused his pupils to shrink was that a faintly discernible green figure walked out from the darkness.
"Run! He's coming out! " Su Yu's expression changed. He pushed Cloud Shadow to the extreme, disappearing into the forest like the shadow of a cloud or duckweed in a river.
Level Six of the Martial Path, he might not even have a chance to escape.
Lu Xuan looked back and his pupils shrank!
The youth in green exuded a bloody smell that could be smelled from a mile away.
Lu Xuan could not see through his cultivation, but a sense of fear welled up within him!
"Run!" Lu Xuan was scared out of his wits. The threat of death was palpitating in his heart.
Carrying Lu Xing, Lu Xuan fled.
However, he was wise and did not stay with Su Yu. Instead, he split up and fled.
The youth in green had a cruel evil smile on his face, his hands stained with sticky blood.
His gloomy eyes wandered back and forth between Su Yu and Lu Xuan.
"What a vigilant junior to be able to detect me hiding in the darkness."
The youth in green stood where he was and did not pursue. Instead, his figure flashed and he left the valley.
"My goal has been achieved. Those three brats are lucky! I cannot stay here for long. I must retreat as soon as possible and report back to the First Prince. "
Su Yu ran for a long time and was slightly relieved to see that the youth had not caught up.
He hid in the dense forest. Once he was safe, Su Yu fell into deep thought.
In fact, before entering the Twilight Mountains, he had some doubts. If someone had really found a cave guarded by a demonic beast, why not quietly search for the treasure instead of spreading the news to the whole world?
Even a student like Xuan Lefei, who was not very strong, could get a treasure map.
Now it seemed that the news was deliberately spread to lure them into the valley and be killed by the youth in green.
But what was that person's purpose?
After waiting quietly for a long time, the youth in green did not chase after them.
Su Yu muttered, "Since that person did not chase after us, it means that he has most likely left the valley."
The existence of the youth in green had been exposed. If he wanted to continue hiding in the valley and kill those who were lured, he should have chased after Su Yu and the others to silence them.
Since they weren't chasing after him, it meant that the other party had given up on hiding in the valley.
Su Yu's eyes flickered with a shrewd light. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and flew back.
Half a day later, outside the valley, the smell of blood lingered in the wind.
Activating his crystalline pupils, the green-robed youth was indeed long gone, leaving behind only a cold corpse.
Tiptoeing lightly, Su Yu cautiously walked over to the side of the corpse.
"The fourth-ranked gold student, Ceng Bier!" Su Yu's pupils shrank and he gasped!
Ceng Bi 'er had a good relationship with Qin Feng. It was said that she was Qin Feng's ex-girlfriend.
She had been a great help to Qin Feng in being able to pursue Jiang Xueqing.
As a female student, Ceng Bier could freely enter and exit the female dormitory. Her powerful cultivation made it easy for others to admire her.
It was said that she had a good relationship with the female students and knew a lot of inside information about them.
In Su Yu's eyes, she, who was at Level Three Peak, was a powerful existence that he could only look up to.
However, at this moment, he had died a horrible death. His forehead had been pierced by a powerful force, and his face was filled with the fear of death.
Squatting down to check, Su Yu realized that the green-clothed youth did not look like he was looking for money.
This was because he did not take away the valuables on Ceng Bier.
Su Yu did not stand on ceremony and took out many things from his robes.
"Top grade spirit elixir?" Su Yu was slightly surprised. This kind of thing, even the green-clothed youth did not take a liking to it.
Thinking of the effects of the top grade spirit elixir, Su Yu's heart warmed and he put it into his robes.
Then, there were three thousand taels of silver notes, enough to buy another top grade spirit elixir.
After doing this, Su Yu prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a faintly discernible putrid smell assailed his nostrils.
Su Yu activated his crystalline pupils and looked deeper into the valley. His pupils shrank as he discovered two huge lions, their bodies emitting a putrid stench, collapsed in front of a cave abode.
Could it be that the treasure map was real? It was not fake?
In order to ensure that no one would be lured, the youth really chose a place guarded by demonic beasts.
With a thought, Su Yu flew over.
Although the flaming lion was rotten, its teeth were worth a lot of money, so Su Yu kept them.
There were a total of four, each the fangs of the flaming lion.
The fangs contained fierce flame energy. Once thrown and hit a target, it would cause a strong explosion. The flames could instantly cause harm to a person.
Its power was similar to the silver ball of the young princess of Xianyu. It could be kept for his own use or taken back to sell.
Just these four fangs were worth at least two thousand taels of silver.
After putting them away, Su Yu used his pupils to investigate the cave. It was dead silent, with no signs of life.
The cave was not deep, only a hundred meters deep. The stone walls had been baked by the flames of the flaming lion for a long time, emitting a faint warmth.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Su Yu walked to the end of the hundred meters, but there was nothing.
Su Yu could not help but be disappointed. It seemed that the cave abode was only a resting place for the flaming lion and did not guard anything.
Come to think of it, if there really were treasures, they would have long been taken away by the terrifying green-clothed youth.
Thump, thump —
Suddenly, Su Yu felt the ground beneath his feet, gently shaking as if it was pulsing.
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, there was a hair-thin dark red crack.
If not for Su Yu's excellent eyesight, which allowed him to see darkness as if it were day, it would have been extremely difficult to discover its existence.
Carefully digging up the ground, a wisp of dark red liquid emitting hot energy gushed out like spring water. In the blink of an eye, it filled the small pit.
"Jade Fire Marrow?" Su Yu was shocked!
He had heard of the name of this item more than once or twice!
It was rumored that the Jade Fire Marrow came from the depths of the earth and had an extremely strong effect on the transformation of the human body, far better than spirit elixirs!
Moreover, the Jade Fire Marrow had an additional effect, and that was to temper the body!
There were strong and weak physiques. At the same cultivation level, those with stronger physiques could last longer in battle, and the power of their moves would be stronger and more ferocious.
Those with stronger physiques had the ability to crush those of the same cultivation level!
On the market, a drop of Jade Fire Marrow was worth at least a hundred taels of silver!
Moreover, it was priceless!
It had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, and the royal family did not have any collection.
The Jade Fire Marrow in front of him was more than a drop. There was a small pit!
Su Yu was indescribably excited.
This item was precious, and it also had the effect of enhancing the strength of blood for a strong Level Six of the Martial Path.
If the youth in green knew that he had missed out on a great treasure, what would he think?
What made Su Yu slightly speechless was that he did not have many jade bottles or pouches to store the spiritual liquid.
"Cultivate on the spot! I'll bring back the excess! "Su Yu made up his mind and dug the pit a little deeper, just enough for him to soak in.
Hiss ~ ~
As soon as his body entered the Jade Fire Marrow, Su Yu suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a pot of oil.
The burning pain stimulated his nerves, making him instinctively want to jump out.
But his will forced him to do so!
Clenching his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body was red from the heat.
"Bear with it! The reason why my body is in so much pain is because this body is relatively weak, without the foundation of body tempering. As long as I clench my teeth and endure, my body will undergo earth-shaking changes! "
One minute passed!
Ten minutes passed!
Half an hour passed!
An hour passed!
...
Su Yu, with his own will, stubbornly persisted.
Finally, three hours later, his body was transformed, gradually adapting, and the pain was no longer so severe.
Ten hours later, he had been soaking for half a day, and there was no longer the slightest discomfort.
The Jade Fire Marrow in the pit was only left with a fist-sized lump of Jade Fire Marrow.
Su Yu's eyes slowly opened, and a powerful force of blood surged through his body.
"Phew! What a powerful Jade Fire Marrow! " Su Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation base had reached Level Three Peak, only one step away from breaking through to Level Four!
The Jade Fire Marrow could only be consumed internally to improve one's cultivation base.
Now, just by soaking in it, his cultivation base had been forcibly raised to Level Three Peak! The effect was not just an ordinary kind of powerful!
The remaining small lump of Jade Fire Marrow could be taken back and swallowed. With its powerful energy, Su Yu's cultivation base would definitely soar!
At this moment, Su Yu's body still looked thin, but with a casual clench of his fist, there was a crisp crackling sound coming from his bones, like frying beans.
It was the same Universal Stroke.
Now that he was using it, the power of his punches and kicks was far more than twice what it used to be. It was very terrifying.
Su Yu could not estimate his own specific strength.
Before, he could easily defeat Lu Xing, who was at Level Three Upper Tier. Now, defeating his brother Lu Xuan should not be a problem.
"Qin Feng! The gap between us has shrunk by one step! I hope you will not be too surprised when the time comes! "Su Yu clenched his fists, his eyes full of confidence.
Staring at the last remaining precious lump of Jade Fire Marrow, Su Yu hurriedly went out and caught a python. He peeled off the skin of the python, cleaned it, and used it as a container to store the last lump of Jade Fire Marrow.
Putting away the last drop of Jade Fire Marrow, Su Yu calculated the time and said to himself, "I've been out for half a month. It will take at least ten days to travel back. It's time to return to the institute, the Gold Assessment is about to begin!"
Eh! Just as Qin Feng put away the last drop of Jade Fire Marrow, he suddenly found that in the crack in the ground where the Jade Fire Marrow gushed out, a colorful brilliance flashed.
Su Yu continued to dig along the crack.
After digging for half a meter.
Clang —
A natural underground passage suddenly appeared as the ground collapsed!
In the passage, the breath of the Jade Fire Marrow lingered, extending deep into the ground.
Su Yu stepped into it with a strange feeling. Suddenly, a slight pain struck him!
It turned out to be the water vapor of the Jade Fire Marrow in the tunnel, emitting scorching heat.
Fortunately, Su Yu's body had been baptized and was no longer afraid of the burning of the Jade Fire Marrow. Otherwise, he might not have had the opportunity to go down this tunnel.
After walking for a full hour, Su Yu only felt that breathing was becoming more and more difficult, as if he had already entered the depths of thousands of meters underground.
Buzz —
The colorful brilliance once again appeared at the end of the passage.
Su Yu's heart moved, and he immediately rushed over.
The end was sealed by mud, and only a crack could be seen outside.
The colorful brilliance came from outside.
