While Shen Luo and the others were talking, they came to a mansion gate carved into the underwater mountain wall.
On the door of the estate were two extremely thick and heavy door boards made of bronze, and over 10 talisman markings were crisscrossed on them. Moreover, an octagonal groove could be seen at a height of around 3m below the door.
Yuan Yan unhurriedly took out a green token engraved with a tortoise shell pattern from his arms. He raised his hand and threw it into the air under a layer of green light. It was embedded in the groove on the bronze door.
Immediately afterward, a ray of light spread out from the green token, causing all the runes on the huge bronze door to light up. The two incomparably thick huge doors began to open inwards amidst bursts of rumbling sounds.
A dazzling golden light was reflected inside the bronze door, making Shen Luo almost unable to look straight at it.
However, when the golden light dissipated, Shen Luo did not see the mountain of gold and treasures that he had imagined. Instead, what he saw was an incomparably huge golden octopus.
On the cliff above and around the golden octopus, there were caves of different sizes and shapes everywhere. There was a layer of golden enchantment rune floating in the air.
As soon as everyone came in, the golden octopus's eyes that had been closed slowly opened. After seeing everyone, his eyes flashed with a touch of brilliance, and he spoke in human language,
"Old man Yuan, you haven't brought so many people for a long time … Yo, is that Little Ninth Prince over there? I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. I'm still thinking that no one will come to steal pearls in the future? "
"Greetings Uncle Zhang, I didn't know how to behave in the past, and I caused you a lot of trouble." Ao Hong was a little embarrassed. He stepped forward and cupped his fist.
"Zhang Bashi, stop talking nonsense. I brought these children here today because Dragon King ordered me to reward each of them with a treasure. You can find the right one for me." Yuan Zhen said with a smile.
"Treasure? Well, since it's Dragon King's order, you can just ask for it. I will definitely bring it to you if I can find it in our vault. "The golden octopus said with a smile.
Ao Xin looked at Ao Zhong, who nodded at her. Then, she walked forward and bowed.
"Senior, I've already reached the pinnacle of the Grand Ascension Stage, but I'm still unable to make a breakthrough. If you have any pills or treasures that can help me, please give them to me."
"Once you break through the bottleneck of the peak Mahayana realm, you'll have to transcend the tribulation to become a true immortal. This bottleneck is different from others. Sometimes, not being able to break through is a form of self-protection. If you forcefully use the medicinal stone to break through, you may not be able to withstand the power of the Thunder Calamity. In this case … do you still want it? "The golden octopus heard this and thought silently for a moment, then said.
When Ao Xin heard this, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Ao Zhong and said firmly, "Yes."
Only by breaking through to the True Immortal Realm would she be able to truly close the gap between them. Only then would she be able to truly share his burdens.
"In that case, there is a Twisting Flame Pill in the vault that was passed down from Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace. It was refined with the True Samadhi Fire. After you take it, it may help you break through the bottleneck," the golden octopus said.
"Thank you, senior," Ao Xin said immediately.
The golden octopus no longer spoke. After thinking for a while, an arm suddenly stretched out from under its body and stretched out to a cave above its head. A rune at the top of the tentacle lit up and blended with the light of the cave's enchantment.
Immediately afterward, the tentacle stretched out through the layer of light and probed into the cave.
After a while, when it retracted, there was already a red copper box in the shape of a pill furnace in the tentacle, and it was handed over to Ao Xin.
Ao Xin received it with both hands and carefully opened the lid of the furnace. Immediately, a blazing wave of air gushed out from inside, emitting a red halo.
She quickly closed the lid of the furnace again, thanked it repeatedly, and put it away.
"Brother Shen, tell Uncle Zhang your request." Ao Hong looked at Shen Luo and said.
"Senior, junior wants to ask you for a safe way to break through to the Out-of-Body Stage." Shen Luo had a plan in his heart, so he stepped forward and said.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and cast an incredulous look at him.
"It's not what junior needs, it's what others are asking for." Shen Luo looked a little embarrassed and said so.
"What kind of spell does that person cultivate?" The golden octopus didn't find Shen Luo's request strange and asked.
"He, he cultivates a water spell." Shen Luo hesitated.
When the golden octopus heard this, he fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he said, "There are a total of thirteen kinds of methods in the vault that you ask for, and three of them are the most suitable. I will tell you, and you can make the choice yourself."
"Thank you, senior." Shen Luo hurriedly cupped his fist and said.
"One of them is to take a crystal pill. This pill is refined with the essence of dragon qi. It is enough to help stabilize the soul and reach the Out-of-Body Stage. The second one is to cultivate the Water Viscera Invigorating Skill. This skill can help one to reach the peak of the Mahayana Stage from the basic Qi Refining Stage. It has a step-by-step method to reach the Out-of-Body Stage. The third one is a lost water spell. Its level is much higher than the Water Viscera Invigorating Skill, but the inheritance is lost and incomplete. It also has an Out-of-Body Stage cultivation method. "The golden octopus said again.
"Then I'll choose the Water Viscera Invigorating Skill." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
He was looking for the Out-of-Body Stage cultivation method to pave the way and build a bridge for real cultivation. No matter how wonderful the crystal pill was, he couldn't take it back. Naturally, he couldn't choose it. No matter how good the level of the incomplete skill was, it was incomplete. There might be hidden dangers in practicing it. It was better to be safe.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted a little and couldn't help but say,
"Senior, can you take out the incomplete skill and let me have a look at it before I make a choice?"
"Of course."
After the golden octopus said, it waved its tentacles again and probed into the two holes on the wall.
After a while, a two-inch-thick golden silk book and a mossy slate fell in front of Shen Luo.
His gaze swept back and forth between the two. Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in his heart. On the seemingly unremarkable mossy slate, there seemed to be a faintly discernible and familiar aura guiding him.
This feeling was very subtle. After a little hesitation, Shen Luo changed his mind and chose the cyan slate.
"This is yours …" The golden octopus immediately took back the golden silk book and handed the mossy slate to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo took it with both hands and stroked the slate with his fingers. Suddenly, he felt like he was stroking the water. There seemed to be a little ripple under his fingertips. It was very wonderful.
However, he didn't have time to examine it carefully at the moment, so he had to put it away first.
They then took their leave and left the vault of Dragon Palace.
"Now that the treasures have been chosen, let's not delay. We should also go to the Dragon Abyss, right?" Ao Zhong glanced at everyone and said.
"Your Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince and Shen Daoyou just rushed back to the Dragon Palace and encountered a fierce battle on the way. It's better to let them rest for a while before going to the Dragon Abyss," Yuan Yan advised.
"Uncle Yuan, if the giant abyss demon really escapes and there is really a problem under the Dragon Abyss, I'm afraid we have no time to rest at all. The later we are, the more dangerous it will be. "Ao Zhong frowned.
"What second brother said is also Ao Hong's idea. Time can't be delayed." Ao Hong also nodded and said.
"In that case, I won't say much. The two princes should be careful." Yuan Yan nodded and said.
Then, everyone bid farewell to Yuan Yan and set off for the Dragon Abyss.
