After staying underground for so long, Ling Yun was so excited that he almost wanted to ride on Little Black's back and roar into the sky!
It was the darkness before dawn. The night sky was dark, and the moon hung high in the sky. Ling Yun continued to circulate his Stellar Condensation Technique. The moonlight was like water, and it enveloped Ling Yun's body. It was as if his body was glowing.
Ling Yun felt a "boom" as his Stellar Condensation Technique advanced by three minor realms. It only stopped when it reached the eleventh minor realm!
"Gah … How can it be so fast?" Ling Yun was elated and shocked. If he were to advance another three minor realms, he would be able to reach the third major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique!
This was the result of the Yin-Yang harmony balance, the absorption of the spiritual energy from the dragon saliva, and the illumination of the sun, moon, and countless stars at the same time.
However, that was obviously the effect of the spell formation. Ling Yun only completed the advancement after he saw the real moon and stars.
The moonlight shrouding Ling Yun's body grew brighter, and the stars in the sky seemed to rain down their power on Ling Yun. However, the starlight was still very weak compared to the moonlight, and it was still invisible to the naked eye.
This was indeed a beautiful and quiet valley. A mountain spring a few meters wide flowed on the rocks, and the sound of the water was pleasing to the ears.
The cool mountain breeze blew gently on his face. All kinds of rare flowers and trees grew luxuriantly. The slightly fragrant aura of nature drilled into Ling Yun's body, opening up all his pores at the same time. It was very beneficial.
The sky was clear and cloudy. Coupled with the exotic flowers and grasses, Ling Yun felt like he was in a fairyland. Or rather, he had returned to the Cultivation World. The spiritual energy here was so dense that it was even denser than in Mansion Number One.
However, this wasn't the effect of the spirit gathering formation, but the surrounding flowers and plants. Ling Yun quickly recognized a few types of spiritual medicine.
"What is this place?"
Ling Yun was a little dumbfounded. This wasn't the valley between Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak!
There were indeed many steep peaks around the valley. They were majestic and beautiful, and the peaks were covered with lush green trees. These peaks were much taller than Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak. The trees on the peaks were also much more lush, and there were no signs of human intervention. It was obvious that no one had set foot here all year round.
"That's a powerful spatial formation! Who knows, I might be thousands of miles away from Qingshui City! "
Ling Yun wasn't shocked for long as he made an accurate judgment in an instant. The Earth Emperor's Book was in his energy center, and the aura that the Earth Emperor's Book exuded wasn't inferior to the Emperor Brush at all. He knew that the almighty who had set up the array was exceptionally powerful.
Of course, Ling Yun also had many miraculous encounters in the Cultivation World. However, he was very clear that after he activated the Eight Trigrams Tai Chi Diagram at the bottom of the stone pond, he experienced many more miraculous scenes than what he had experienced in the Cultivation World.
There was no doubt that the ancient mighty being who set up the formation was more powerful than an Earth Immortal at the Dacheng Stage of the Cultivation World!
Ling Yun leaped down from Little Black's back and gently placed the unconscious Dugu Mo and Little White on the ground. Then, he activated the Stellar Condensation Technique and took out the Dragon Vein Sword from his spatial ring before walking towards an extremely simple stone house in the distance.
Now that the Emperor Brush had burrowed into the space between Ling Yun's eyebrows and the Earth Emperor's Book had occupied Ling Yun's energy center, he couldn't use any of these. He could only use the Devil's Blade and the Dragon Vein Sword.
However, Ling Yun didn't dare to take out the Devil's Blade, which had a strong demonic nature, because he could feel the strong aura of the Great Dao.
If he took out the Devil's Blade and the aura of the Great Dao didn't tolerate it, Ling Yun might be killed instantly. He didn't dare to take such a risk.
The simple stone house wasn't very far away, and there were only two of them. Ling Yun arrived very quickly and looked into the stone house.
The strange flowers and plants that were more than a meter tall had been growing for god knows how long. There was no path for an ordinary person to walk through these dense flowers and plants, even if they wore thick clothes. However, Ling Yun had the protection of the Stellar Condensation Technique, which was at the eleventh minor realm, so he didn't feel the slightest bit of panic as he walked naked.
"What a strong aura!" Ling Yun's expression was solemn as he secretly exclaimed. The aura here was even more powerful than the Buddhist energy in the temple of the enlightened monk. It was strong, but it had a natural gentleness that made Ling Yun feel very comfortable.
Too many years had passed, and the stone house was already filled with all kinds of strange flowers and plants that were more than a meter tall. Everything else was gone. Obviously, they couldn't withstand the erosion of time and had all turned to dust …
"Nothing …" Ling Yun didn't feel any danger. He kept the Dragon Vein Sword and walked into the stone house like an ordinary person. He walked around but didn't find anything.
Ling Yun furrowed his brows. He wondered how thick the mud had become after the long years of withering and rotting. Could it be that they were buried under the mud?
He didn't give up and walked around the flowers and plants a few more times to see if he could find anything new.
"Clang …"
Ling Yun felt a pain in his right foot. He didn't know what he had kicked. His heart shook as he quickly pushed the flowers and plants aside to look at his foot.
"What is this? It's rusty beyond recognition … "Ling Yun saw a horseshoe-shaped piece of metal sticking out of the mud. This was what he had kicked just now.
Ling Yun reached out to grab it, but he realized that he couldn't pull it out of the mud. Hence, he increased his strength and pulled again!
The soft mud loosened a little, and Ling Yun realized that he was actually holding a horseshoe-shaped ring.
Ling Yun silently used his strength and crushed the mottled rust on the metal. He realized that it was made of bronze.
"This is a part of some kind of bronze utensil. There's more below it!" Ling Yun was excited. He didn't pull it out by force anymore. Instead, he used his hands to dig the surrounding mud.
Ling Yun's fingers were like gold and iron. It was very easy for him to dig the mud. In a short while, he had dug a big hole, and half of the bronze utensil was exposed.
"This, this looks like a cauldron!" Ling Yun could basically confirm that it was a bronze cauldron with one look!
Ling Yun was excited. If he had such an item, it would be much more convenient for him to refine pills in the future. At least, it was easier than using a small iron pot.
Ling Yun had long had enough of using those small iron pots to brew medicine. He increased the speed of his hands and used both hands to quickly dig out the entire cauldron.
Even though the bronze cauldron was rusty and looked very old and rough, its design was grand and natural. It was simple and beautiful, and it had an indescribable charm to it.
A round cauldron with two ears and three legs. It was a perfect example of Daoism. One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.
There were patterns carved on the cauldron, but most of them were covered by the black mud and rust. Ling Yun couldn't see them clearly at all.
"It's so heavy!" It was indeed very heavy. It was heavier than that gourd of dragon saliva. Ling Yun used strength to lift the cauldron that was filled with black mud and placed it vertically on the ground.
The bronze cauldron wasn't considered small. The round cauldron was about seventy to eighty centimeters wide. Including the three legs and the ears, it was about eighty centimeters tall. From the front, it looked square.
"Heh, using this to refine pills is really awesome!" The more Ling Yun looked at it, the more he liked it. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"That's not right. I'm still missing a lid …" Ling Yun suddenly remembered that this cauldron didn't have a lid. He quickly jumped into the pit and dug around it.
He dug half a meter in all directions. In the end, he felt that it was too troublesome. He took out the Dragon Vein Sword and started to stab into the black mud. However, he still couldn't find the lid.
If there was a lid, it definitely wouldn't be too far from the bronze cauldron. Ling Yun felt a little regretful that he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Maybe there isn't a lid, or maybe the lid isn't here …"
Ling Yun walked around a few more times and checked every corner of the stone house. He didn't find anything else, but he couldn't contain his joy.
"Let's wash off the black mud first …" Ling Yun squatted down and grabbed one of the legs of the cauldron. He lifted it up with one hand.
Ling Yun carried the bronze cauldron out of the stone house and quickly returned to Dugu Mo and Little White. Realizing that they were still unconscious, Ling Yun smiled and thought that they could really sleep.
He immediately walked to the mountain spring and said to Little Black, who was happily playing in the spring, "Give me some water!" He pointed at the bronze cauldron.
Little Black happily flipped around for a while before lowering its head and sucking in the water. Then, it lightly sprayed a clear arrow of water at Ling Yun's body, drenching him completely.
Seeing how mischievous Little Black was, Ling Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He pointed at the bronze cauldron in his hand again and said, "Not for me, but for it!"
Only then did Little Black start to suck in water and spray it at the bronze cauldron in Ling Yun's hand. Ling Yun followed suit and quickly cleaned the bronze cauldron.
The rust couldn't be washed off in a short time. It covered the engravings on the bronze cauldron, and there weren't any words on it.
Ling Yun studied the bronze cauldron for a long time but couldn't figure out anything. He could only give up for now.
"It's enough to refine pills and medicine, as long as it can be used …"
Ling Yun smiled proudly and made the largest space in the spatial ring to store the bronze cauldron. This bronze cauldron took up eighty percent of the spatial ring's space, and Ling Yun had no choice but to store all the small items in the cauldron.
"So many spiritual herbs … This is simply a treasure trove of herbs. It's a pity that I can't take it away …"
Ling Yun thought about these spiritual herbs again. He thought to himself that when he was successful in his cultivation and needed to refine pills in the future, he could come to this place.
It had been a long time since he had a good bath. Ling Yun played with Little Black in the cool spring water and washed himself thoroughly. Then, he got up and went to Dugu Mo's side.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out Dugu Mo's long sword and placed it beside Dugu Mo.
Even though Dugu Mo didn't obtain the Earth Emperor's Book, he had gained a lot this time. Not only did he obtain the dragon saliva, but he also received the nourishment of so much Immortal Spiritual Energy. He even heard the sound of the Great Dao, which was enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Little White. Little White slowly opened its eyes. It had woken up before Dugu Mo.
"Swoosh …" Little White woke up, and a third snow-white tail appeared in Ling Yun's field of vision. It was no different from the other two tails, dancing in the night sky! (To be continued.
