"A treasure that can sense the demon's aura … Could it be the Demonic Crystal Bead?" The bloody face said in a sharp voice.
"Now it's my turn to ask. Where did you come from? How did you get into the ruins? "Liu Ming asked coldly again.
"Kid, you don't have to beat around the bush about my origin. Just like you, I came to this upper realm ruins from the Middle Sky Continent. However, I possessed another family's disciple along the way. That's how I managed to sneak in. Speaking of which, you and I don't have any deep hatred. Young man, are you interested in working with me? "The crimson face suddenly changed the topic." That's right.
"Cooperate with you?" Liu Ming was startled when he heard the words.
"Yes, although your cultivation is a little low, you're quite smart. If you help me get something in this ruin, I can give you unimaginable benefits." The bloody face's tone was full of temptation.
"Oh, tell me about it." Liu Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, but he replied calmly.
"Hehe, it's very simple. I've lived for countless years, and I know countless strange techniques. For example, this secret technique of soul splitting. As long as you learn it, you can split your soul at will. In this way, even if your real body is unfortunately destroyed, you can continue to live in this time. In addition, I also know countless elixir recipes and secret techniques that can help you successfully advance to the Jin Dan Realm, and … "The bloody face said confidently as if as long as Liu Ming nodded, he would immediately get endless benefits.
"En, sounds good." Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He seemed to be a little tempted.
"That's for sure. Little friend, it's definitely a wise choice for you to cooperate with me. How about this, little friend, you find a suitable body for me first, and I'll immediately teach you the secret technique of soul splitting … "The bloody face smiled, and even the way he addressed Liu Ming changed.
A cold sneer suddenly appeared on Liu Ming's face. He suddenly clenched his right hand, and the purple electric net closed instantly.
"Boom!" The crimson face let out a blood-curdling screech as it was reduced to ashes amidst countless bolts of purple lightning.
The reason why Liu Ming had been talking nonsense with the bloody face until now was mainly to find out Bloody Shadow's identity and whether there were other clones in the ruins of the upper realm.
He had roughly guessed what he wanted to know from the crimson face.
As for cooperation, he knew that he did not have the ability to scheme against an old ghost that had lived for god knows how many years. If he was the slightest bit careless, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
The Jin Dan cultivator of the Haoran Academy, Sun Peng, who was known for his resourcefulness, was the best example.
With his status and cultivation, if he hadn't been bewitched by the Blood Ancestor's incarnation, how could he have been possessed so easily?
However, these thoughts only flashed through Liu Ming's mind before his gaze returned to Cultivator Sun's body. After searching for a moment, he took out a storage ring and flew out of the hole, landing in front of the ruins' entrance.
At present, the restriction outside the ruins had been jointly broken by the people of the two clans. In the stone wall behind the two cyan stone pillars, a dark cave entrance was revealed. A row of white stairs led straight underground.
From the cave entrance, a strong earthy smell wafted out. There was also a faint multicolored light faintly coming from inside, causing one's imagination to run wild.
Liu Ming stood in front of the cave entrance with an excited expression on his face. However, he did not immediately enter the cave. Instead, he muttered to himself.
He suddenly patted his waist with one hand, and a cloud of black Qi flew out of the Cultivating Soul Pouch. It swirled and condensed, revealing the figure of a young girl wrapped in black muslin.
"Master!" The Scorpion blinked a few times and gracefully bowed to Liu Ming.
"Scorpion, investigate this cave for me. If there is any danger, do not move. Immediately come out," Liu Ming ordered indifferently.
"Yes!" The Scorpion twisted her slender waist, and a yellow cloud appeared on her body. In a flash, she drilled into the ground.
Liu Ming turned his hand and swallowed an elixir. He took out an upper grade spirit stone and held it in his hand to restore his spiritual power.
After a quarter of an hour, Scorpion's voice came from Liu Ming's mind. As his expression moved, he immediately walked toward the cave entrance and slowly went down along the white stairs.
The cave was slanted to the underground. There was no fork in the road, but it was dark inside. Liu Ming walked carefully while spreading his Divine Thought, always paying attention to the movement around him.
Fortunately, like Scorpion's voice transmission, there was nothing unusual in the passage except for the damp and slightly earthy hot wind blowing from time to time.
The more he went down, the more frequent the damp hot wind blew. It was really hard to imagine where the cave led to.
After walking for about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the stairs slowly became flat, and the originally narrow passage gradually became wider. It was not a problem for several people to walk side by side, but the hot wind blowing in their faces was getting hotter and hotter.
Liu Ming calculated that he was already a few hundred meters deep underground at this moment. After walking for a while, the passage finally disappeared, and a half-closed stone door appeared in front of him.
Liu Ming pushed the stone door, and an open underground swamp world suddenly appeared in front of him.
This underground space was one or two hundred meters high and had a radius of a few acres. On the surrounding stone walls, there were a lot of shining unknown ores, illuminating the surrounding environment.
At a glance, there were dark swamps with bubbles everywhere. A hot and damp wind was generated out of thin air above the swamp, exuding a rotten smell.
In addition, the spirit of this underground space seemed to be several times richer than the outside, which made Liu Ming a little surprised.
When Liu Ming's gaze extended a little further, his heart skipped a beat.
He saw that above the swamp more than a hundred meters in front of him, there was a large smooth stone wall, on which there were several small springs, from which trickles of spring water flowed.
"Spirit spring?" Liu Ming murmured to himself. The spring water exuded a very rich spirit, which was probably the source of the rich spirit of this place.
However, his attention quickly shifted away, because on the stone wall below the spring, there was a translucent purple small tree about ten meters tall, strong branches, and a translucent body.
He saw a stream of spirit energy escaping from the spring, constantly gathering at the roots of the small tree. After being absorbed by the small tree, all of it poured into the three dark purple fist-sized fruits on the treetop.
"This is the Purple Origin Fruit! Looking at the situation, it's already thirty thousand years old. If I eat one, I can at least increase my lifespan by one or two hundred years. " Liu Ming scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, and did not find any monsters guarding the fruit tree. In a few flashes, he landed in front of the purple fruit tree, staring at the three purple fruits with a fiery gaze.
After thinking for a while, he took out a jade box, carefully removed the three fruits, and placed them in the jade box.
Looking at the three fruits in the box, his eyes flashed. In the Sutra Pavilion of the Taiqing Gate, he had seen records about the Purple Origin Fruit. This thing did not need to be refined into a pill, and could be directly consumed, but it would take a lot of time to refine its medicinal power, and the medicinal power would not be as good as after it was refined into a pill.
After hesitating for a while, he put the jade box away.
Nowadays, in the ruins of the Upper Realm, every day was very precious, so it was better not to spend time on this.
Even if most of them were handed over to the Sect, the remaining one could be used to refine a furnace of Purple Origin Pill that could increase one's lifespan.
Liu Ming glanced around again. At the same time, his Divine Sense also instantly shrouded the underground space, searching it carefully.
After a while, there was a hint of disappointment on his face.
In addition to the Purple Origin Fruit Tree, there were only some ordinary spirit grasses growing in the swamp. Although some of them were not low in maturity, they were not rare in the Middle Sky Continent. They were not of much value to him.
"Could it be that those people of the Beastkin Clan plotted just to get these three Purple Origin Fruits?" He murmured.
"Huh, where's Scorpion?" Liu Ming was contemplating, and he suddenly remembered that he didn't see Scorpion after entering this place.
So he hurriedly contacted Scorpion through his mind.
Bone Scorpion and Demon Flying Skull were now his important spiritual pets, and they had great potential. He must not lose them.
"Master, I sensed that there is a special place underground, and I am exploring there …" Scorpion's mind transmitted a vague message.
Liu Ming was startled when he heard the words. He just used his huge Divine Sense to explore the space of thousands of meters around here, and he didn't find anything strange.
Could it be that the special space mentioned by Scorpion is still deeper underground?
After thinking about it, he immediately extended his Divine Sense to the underground, but he still didn't find anything except a few ores after exploring for thousands of meters.
With Liu Ming's current Divine Sense, it was already the limit to go thousands of meters underground. The underground was not like the deep sea, where all kinds of breaths were mixed. The deeper he went, the greater the influence of the geocentric magnetism on his Divine Sense.
Generally, cultivators used the Earth Escape Talisman to dive into the ground. Three thousand meters was the limit. It was very dangerous to go deeper. Once the Earth Escape Talisman failed, the whole person would be buried alive in the ground. Even the Crystallization Period cultivators would be in a dilemma.
The reason why Scorpion could dive so deep was also because of her innate earth attribute divine art.
Seeing that his Divine Sense couldn't detect anything, Liu Ming didn't continue to waste his strength. He retracted his Divine Sense and waited quietly in place.
After half an hour, a yellow light appeared on the ground next to the swamp. After a flash, it turned into a girl with a black veil. It was Scorpion.
"Master, I found a space below. There seems to be a lot of treasures in it." As soon as Scorpion appeared, she couldn't wait to tell Liu Ming.
"Okay, take me to see it." Liu Ming said with joy when he heard the words.
Scorpion nodded, and a yellow light rose from her body, wrapping Liu Ming in it. Then, she went into the ground in a flash.
It was the first time that Liu Ming was taken underground by Scorpion. It felt completely different from when he used the Earth Escape Talisman before. The yellow light emitted by Scorpion shone on the surrounding soil, and the soil suddenly showed ripples like running water.
The hard ground suddenly turned into yellow water. Scorpion dived all the way with him as if they were in a river. The speed was amazing, and there was no resistance at all. Liu Ming couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Diving all the way, they soon encountered a hard rock area.
Speaking of which, Scorpion's Earth Escape Talisman was really mysterious. Even the hard rocks deep in the ground could be flashed, but the speed was slightly slowed down.
