Their gazes fell on the metal box. It was very simple, without any hidden compartments or mechanisms. There was only one thing in the small metal box. It was a small golden bell that was as good as new.
The Hehuan Bell originally belonged to Madam Jin Ling. It could absorb a person's three spiritual and seven physical souls and protect them within the bell, allowing the person's physical body to be indestructible.
The Blood Devouring Pearl and the Hehuan Bell were the treasures of Old Man Black Heart and Madam Jin Ling in his previous life. They were a couple.
In this life, the Blood Devouring Pearl had already been integrated into the Soul Sword. The Hehuan Bell was also found here. Lu XueQi and he had also become a pair of life and death lovers. Therefore, the Blood Devouring Pearl and the Hehuan Bell were destined to be together.
Mu Qingxiao took out the Joyous Union Bell. A crisp sound reverberated in everyone's heart. It rang in the secret stone room that had been quiet for eight hundred years.
The bell rang, hundreds of flowers withered.
The figure gradually became thinner.
Love is bitter, life is bitter.
Infatuation is only bitter for heartlessness.
Love is bitter, forbearing to look back.
Regret is too late, difficult to get along with.
The Golden Bell is crisp and blood-devouring.
Life is full of infatuation.
"What a pleasant bell."
Mu Qingxiao smiled and grabbed Lu XueQi's slender hand. She gently put the Hehuan Bell on and said, "It's so beautiful. Do you like it?"
"Ding … Ding Dong."
Lu XueQi nodded slightly. She was a young girl and naturally liked it. Moreover, it was given by Mu Qingxiao. She looked at it carefully and found that there was nothing strange about it. It seemed to be an ordinary but exquisitely made bell.
"Is this really a treasure?"
"Yes, it is indeed a good treasure. Wear it like this. It suits you very well."
Lu XueQi's heart was filled with sweetness. Even though she was usually as cold as ice, she liked the little bell on her wrist. She gently turned it and sure enough, it made a crisp sound. It was extremely pleasant to the ear.
After that, he walked around the secret chamber but found nothing. Apart from some scrap metal, there was nothing else that was of use.
Back in the secret chamber, Mu Qingxiao went to the huge stone tablet and sat down cross-legged. She focused her mind and carefully studied the original text of the Tomes of Arcane.
Mu Qingxiao's mental power gathered on the gigantic stone tablet. With a "boom" in her mind, the golden words on the tablet turned into rays of light and entered Mu Qingxiao's mind. The golden words on the tablet also seemed dim.
"Ding! Successfully collected the fifth scroll of the Heavenly Book. Mission completed 2/5!"
When Mu Qingxiao opened her eyes again, a bright light flashed through them. Her temperament had changed and the spiritual energy in her body was already full. She circulated her cultivation method nine times and her aura instantly rose to Nascent Soul Stage Four!
Shocked, Mu Qingxiao hurriedly checked her own situation. Her aura was strong and vigorous, and she was indeed in the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. But she had only comprehended it for a short while, and her cultivation level had increased by a whole level?
Moreover, she could actually master a part of the Heavenly Book. The content of the Heavenly Book was all-encompassing and ever-changing. Whether it was Taoist, Buddhist, or Devil Path cultivators, they could all comprehend different truths of heaven and earth from it.
The Heavenly Book was obviously not something from this plane. Otherwise, the cultivation level of the Qingyun Plane would not be so weak. Even a Nascent Soul Dao cultivator could not comprehend the Heavenly Book. If it was not for her heaven-defying talent, it would be impossible for her to comprehend it.
Mu Qingxiao did not cultivate the Heavenly Book's cultivation method because she felt that the Heavenly Book's cultivation method was far inferior to the Imperial Maiden Heart Sutra. They were not on the same level, so there was no need to cultivate it.
With the second scroll of the Heavenly Book in hand, Mu Qingxiao stood up and said, "XueQi, we've got it. Let's leave this place quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground began to shake and rocks rolled down. Lu XueQi's face turned pale. She did not expect the Blood Dripping Cave to collapse at this moment.
With spiritual energy protecting her body, Mu Qingxiao directly hugged Lu XueQi and turned into a sword light to return. After a few seconds, the sword light rushed out of the cave at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Boom, boom …!"
Not long after they rushed out of the cave, a dull sound came from the cave. Lu XueQi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Qingxiao raised his sword-like eyebrows. Although he did not use his full strength, his speed just now was obviously several times faster than usual. He did not use his wings either. It felt a little strange, as if his whole body had turned into a sharp sword.
What Mu Qingxiao did not realize was that not only did his cultivation level increase, but even his temperament had changed completely. The difference between before and after was too big.
If it was before, he would be completely an ordinary person after he restrained his aura. But now, it was different. He just stood there without moving, like a divine sword that existed between heaven and earth, looking down on all living things.
Even if it was a movement or a look, there was a sharp aura.
Lu XueQi also saw the change in Mu Qingxiao, but she did not say anything. She said, "When I came out just now, I didn't see Junior Brother and the others. I wonder how they are doing?"
"The Blood Dripping Cave has collapsed. It is definitely impossible to enter unless we use violent means to open it. The remnants of the Blood Refining Hall are struggling at death's door. They can't do anything to Xiao Fan and the others. Don't worry."
Hearing Mu Qingxiao's words, Lu XueQi felt that it was reasonable, and the trace of worry in his heart disappeared. He said, "The matter of the Ancient Bat Cave has come to an end. Are we going directly back to the Qing Yun Men?"
Mu Qingxiao pondered for a moment. There was nothing he needed in the Qing Yun Men. There was not much point in going back. He had already obtained two Tomes of Arcane, and the remaining three were in the Ghost King Sect, the Sound of Heaven Temple, and the Emperor of Heaven's Treasury.
The most difficult Tomes of Arcane to obtain were undoubtedly in the Emperor of Heaven's Treasury. After all, it was relatively far from here. After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingxiao prepared to go to the Ghost King Sect, which was also the closest place to this place.
Moreover, he had helped the Ghost King Sect a lot before. The Ghost King would not refuse to give him face. If he did not give face, he would have to snatch it.
"XueQi, I am going to Fox Branch Mountain. Do you want to go back to the Qing Yun Men first, or come with me?"
"I will go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu XueQi leaned over and wrapped her lotus-like arms around his waist. Her beautiful eyes were full of gentleness. She said, "I have said it before. Wherever you go, I will go. We will never be separated."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao's heart was touched. He lifted her snow-white chin with his right hand, bent down, and kissed her pink lips.
This kiss lasted for a full half an hour before the two of them separated. Mu Qingxiao could not help but pinch her soft and smooth cheeks when he saw how cute she was as she panted, provoking the beauty to give him a pink punch.
The path of cultivation had always been boring. Having a beauty by his side was naturally what he wished for. Moreover, his cultivation had increased again, and he had a kind of enlightenment. He could not tell what it was exactly, but the Ghost King Sect was no threat to him.
