The speed at which the energy was being extracted was very slow. He believed that it would take a long time for the Ice Soul to completely refine it. At that time, his strength would definitely increase by a lot.
The matter of the Ice Soul had come to an end. Mu Qingxiao did not need to interfere with the refinement of the Soul Sword. Since he had nothing else to do, he could only sit cross-legged on the Soul Sword and regulate his breathing to cultivate. It was said that cultivation was boring, and it was not wrong at all.
At this moment, he had a deep understanding of this feeling.
On the morning of the next day, Mu Qingxiao passed by a town called Sunan. He put away the Soul Sword and walked into the town. He wanted to ask why he stopped here instead of continuing.
That was because he did not know where the Lingyun Cave was. Although he knew the name, Mu Qingxiao was not familiar with this world. Fortunately, there were sheepskin maps sold in the shops in the town.
On the way, Mu Qingxiao also received some information related to the plot. The leader of the World Society, Xiong Ba, had adopted Kong Ci as his daughter and betrothed her to his eldest disciple, Qin Shuang. It seemed that the plot was on the right track.
Actually, there was one thing that Mu Qingxiao did not understand. Kong Ci was just a servant and was not beautiful. Compared to Xiong Ba's daughter, You Ruo, they were like a hen and a phoenix.
But how could she charm Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang, giving Xiong Ba the opportunity to sow discord between them? Was Duan Lang the only normal one?
Thinking back to the plot where Bu Jingyun kissed Kong Ci with a look of enjoyment, that scene was unbearable.
Mu Qingxiao shook his head and checked the map. After confirming the approximate location of the Lingyun Cave, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the south.
.....
.....
Two days later, Mu Qingxiao arrived at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River, Lingyun Mountain's Xi Luan Peak.
At this moment, what Mu Qingxiao saw was a giant Buddha. It was 71 meters tall, with a head diameter of 10 meters, 102 buns, and a shoulder width of 28 meters. Just the instep alone was 8.5 meters wide and 11 meters long. It could seat more than a hundred people.
As the saying goes, "A mountain is a Buddha, and a Buddha is a sitting mountain."
The head of the Buddha was parallel to the Xi Luan Peak, its feet stepping on the river, its hands on its knees, chiseled against the mountain. The shape of the Buddha was dignified, its design was ingenious, its body tall and sturdy, its proportions proportionate, its appearance benevolent, it had both form and spirit.
"Flood the Buddha's knees, burn the Lingyun Cave!"
Mu Qingxiao looked up at the Buddha statue in front of her. It was both familiar and unfamiliar. This scene was exactly the same as in the plot. Although it wasn't her first time seeing it, the feeling of being there was completely different.
As for the phrase "flood the Buddha's knees, fire burns the Lingyun Cave", it meant that when the water reached the Buddha's knees, it would flow into the Lingyun Cave. The Fire Qilin inside would be awakened and come out to look for food.
This was a warning that was widely spread in the Fengyun Plane.
Mu Qingxiao didn't think too much about it. Her figure flashed, directly passing through the gap between the Buddha statue and arriving in front of a dark cave. This should be the Lingyun Cave.
Glancing at the two tombstones next to the Lingyun Cave, they should be erected by Nie Feng and Duan Lang for the Southern Qilin Swordsman Duan Shuai and the Northern Drinking Wild Saber Nie Renwang!
Looking at the pitch-black and bottomless cave, Mu Qingxiao didn't hesitate at all. She released her divine sense, enveloping everything within a kilometer, and began to explore the way.
The Lingyun Cave was bottomless, and the paths inside were winding, leading in all directions. It was completely a huge maze.
She remembered that in the plot, Chu Chu's hometown also had a similar cave that could enter the Lingyun Cave. She didn't know who had dug out such a huge project, and what was their goal?
Mu Qingxiao didn't believe that the Fire Qilin, the king of all beasts without intelligence, would be smart enough to dig out a maze to hide.
Moreover, the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword were both inside. It was definitely man-made, and after the Fire Qilin discovered this place, it occupied it as its habitat.
Of course, these were all Mu Qingxiao's conjectures.
If other people came to the Lingyun Cave, it was very likely that they would get lost in the twists and turns. However, Mu Qingxiao was different. Who could develop divine sense in the Golden Core stage? No one except him could do this!
Under the guidance of her divine sense, Mu Qingxiao was at ease. Although she didn't know where the Fire Qilin was hiding, at least she didn't have to worry. If the Fire Qilin attacked, she could retreat from the Lingyun Cave at any time.
However, if she used her divine sense for a long time, she would feel mentally tired. But there was nothing she could do about it. Compared to her life, mental exhaustion was more worth it.
As for the fatigue, when the mission was over and she returned to Earth, she could rest on Yu Yanmei's lap and have a good sleep.
Under the probing of her divine sense, Mu Qingxiao's figure flashed as she went deeper into the Lingyun Cave. As she went deeper, the temperature of her body gradually increased.
After a few minutes, Mu Qingxiao's sword-like eyebrows rose. He immediately stopped because he saw a white skeleton in a corner of the Lingyun Cave. In this Lingyun Cave, there were only a few skeletons.
Sure enough, when Mu Qingxiao arrived in front of the skeleton, he saw the golden ring on its finger. This was the symbol of the Duan family. Since Duan Shuai's body was here, the Fire Qilin Sword must be here as well.
Her gaze swept across the surrounding ground and brushed aside the nearby dry soil. Immediately, a sword hilt was revealed. Mu Qingxiao's mouth curled into a devilish smile.
The sword hilt was not much different from an ordinary sword, but the sword body was blood-red and emitted an evil aura. It was the sword of the Southern Qilin Sword Leader, the Fire Qilin Sword!
Just as she held the long sword, a strange energy immediately rushed into her body.
Mu Qingxiao did not care and wiped away the dust covering the sword body. There was an oval-shaped protrusion on the sword body, and there was indeed a red scale embedded on it.
This scale armor was obtained by the Duan family's ancestor, the world's number one swordsman, Duan Zhengxian. He fought against the Fire Qilin that wreaked havoc everywhere. Afterwards, he embedded the scale armor on the sword body and named it the Fire Qilin Sword. It was the divine weapon passed down in the Duan family.
The Fire Qilin Sword was known as the Evil God of Swords. It was as famous as the Snow Guzzler Saber and was one of the seven weapons.
The scale armor on the sword could produce an inconceivable power that increased the strength of the wielder. However, the longer the wielder held the sword, the more demonic thoughts would appear. It would be difficult to extricate oneself from the sword.
In the battle between Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang, the Fire Qilin Sword and Duan Shuai both disappeared from the Lingyun Cave. If Mu Qingxiao guessed correctly, they should have died from Qi Deviation.
Feeling this powerful, seemingly unparalleled power, Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a cold smile. She circulated her cultivation method and instantly suppressed the pleasure brought by this strange energy.
"As expected of the Evil God of swords. Just by holding it, those with weak mental strength will lose their minds. But that's all."
The soul sword was not interested in the Fire Qilin Sword. Helpless, Mu Qingxiao shook her head and could only put the Fire Qilin Sword into her storage space.
Although she could not use it, it was still a good sword. It would be a pity to give it up.
