Chapter 444 Obtaining Thick Soil and Breathing Soil
Ye Changsheng and the others came to a relatively spacious place in the cave. When Yuan Lie saw the situation here, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "Everyone, we are finally here!"
Hearing his words, Hou Ming and Yan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they came in, they have been in a state of tension, paying close attention to everything ahead with extreme vigilance.
As a result, nothing happened, no danger was encountered, and we walked in smoothly.
This made the two of them feel relieved, and they also secretly thought that Yuan Lie was not lying, and there was indeed nothing dangerous in this place.
In this way, as long as you obtain the Tianxin Liquid, you can leave safely.
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but feel a little more expectant. They looked around and carefully examined the surrounding environment.
After Ye Changsheng entered this place, he kept looking around.
This place looks like a hall. The stone walls on all four sides are very dry and smooth, with delicate textures on them.
There was nothing inside the hall except for a high platform in the center.
The top of the platform is very smooth, and it is sunken in the middle, like a small pool.
There was a slight humid smell in this small pond, and a shallow layer of bright red, crystal clear liquid lay quietly in it.
On top of the platform is a sculpture in the shape of a dragon head with its mouth wide open, which is also slightly damp inside.
Everyone understood at a glance that the red liquid in the small pool on the platform should be flowing from this faucet.
Could it be that this liquid is Yuan Lie’s target?
A hint of speculation flashed through everyone's mind.
But Yuan Lie frowned at this time, sighed and said: "Just as I expected, the Heavenly Heart Liquid has not yet condensed!"
"What does Brother Yuan mean?" Hou Ming stepped forward, stared at the red liquid with fiery eyes for a few seconds, then turned to Yuan Lie and asked.
"Brother Hou, please don't misunderstand. What is flowing in the pool is not the Heavenly Heart Liquid, but a companion substance of the Heavenly Heart Liquid. Although it also has certain body-refining effects, it is far inferior to the real Heavenly Heart Liquid!"
"According to our clan's elders, the real Tianxin Liquid should be a light golden liquid!" Yuan Lie said with a frown.
"What is going on? Brother Yuan, you brought us here, but we didn't see the Tianxin Liquid. This doesn't make sense, right?" Yanxin frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, Brother Yan, don't be anxious!" The expression on Yuan Lie's face became calm again, he turned around and said with a smile.
"I had expected this situation!"
"Ten thousand years ago, when the elder of my clan found this place, he only found half a bottle of Tianxin Liquid. Even this is the accumulation of nearly a million years of this place!"
"It has only been ten thousand years since our predecessors took away all the Tianxin Liquid. It is normal that no new Tianxin Liquid has condensed here!" Yuan Lie said lightly.
"What does Brother Yuan mean?" Hou Ming asked with a frown.
"Since Brother Yuan already knew about this and brought us to this place, it means there are other ways to obtain the Tianxin Liquid, right?" Ye Changsheng asked indifferently.
"Haha, Brother Ye is right. This is exactly why I must gather four people to come here!" Yuan Lie chuckled, with a look of control on his face.
This expression made Hou Ming and Yan Xin feel relieved, and they looked around carefully again.
"I told you before that the place we are in is most likely inside the body of an ancient giant beast!" Yuan Lie said to everyone.
"I believe that when you came in, you have been secretly calculating the distance. Think about it, if we are really inside a giant beast, where should we be now?" Yuan Lie said with a mysterious smile on his face.
Hou Ming's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "It's the heart!"
"Yes, it is the heart!"
"The elder of our clan has speculated that the so-called Heavenly Heart Liquid is most likely the essence and blood in the heart of this ancient giant beast!" Yuan Lie said affirmatively.
"We should be in a space below the heart, and the Heavenly Heart Fluid that our ancestors obtained ten thousand years ago is just some of the blood that seeped out of this heart!"
"If we can break through this barrier and enter the real heart of this ancient beast, then we can have as much of the Heart Liquid as we want, right?" Yuan Lie said with a hint of excitement on his face.
These words made Hou Ming and Yan Xin's eyes immediately become hot, and the way they looked at this place suddenly became different.
Ye Changsheng frowned and said, "It's been so many years. Even if this beast was very powerful in ancient times, how much of its blood is left now?"
"Moreover, this Heavenly Heart Fluid must be the essence of the heart. I guess this red liquid is the ordinary blood in its heart, right?"
"I don't think that after nearly a million years, this ancient beast can still have much blood and essence left. After all, even its body has been completely petrified!" Ye Changsheng said as he looked around.
His words were like a basin of cold water, immediately calming the fiery hearts of Hou Ming and Yan Xin.
"Haha, Brother Ye is really cautious. You are right. After millions of years, there must not be much blood left of this ancient beast!"
Yuan Lie smiled and said slowly, "Even if there is only a little left, it will definitely be enough for the four of us!"
"Even a drop of Tianxin Liquid can greatly improve our physical strength!" Yuan Lie said softly.
"If that's the case, why didn't the noble senior take away all the Tianxin Liquid?" Hou Ming asked with a frown.
“When that senior from my clan entered this place, his cultivation was also at the Void Refinement Stage. Although he was at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, with his strength, he couldn’t break through this barrier!” Yuan Lie said, pointing his finger at the wall where the dragon head statue was.
Hearing this, Hou Ming and Yan Xin frowned. Even the Tianji clan cultivator who was at the peak of the Refinement Void Realm could not defeat them.
"Hmph, let me try to see if this wall is really that solid!" Yanxin snorted coldly and strode forward with the stone stick in his hand.
His whole body was glowing with a brilliant ochre light, and the stone stick in his hand also glowed yellow. He instantly became extremely heavy, and when he walked it was as if a mountain was moving.
Yanxin raised the stone stick in his hand high, a terrifying aura rose from his body, and powerful force gathered.
"boom!"
He smashed the stone wall heavily with his stick, and instantly there was an earth-shaking roar, an ochre light burst out, and a powerful air wave spread out from the front.
"Bang!"
After the stone stick carrying terrifying power hit the wall, the wall remained motionless and the stone stick was bounced back fiercely. Yan Xin took several steps back and the aura on his body suddenly weakened.
His two arms holding the stone stick were shaking slightly, stone powder was dripping down from the base of his palms, and his two palms were almost shattered.
Yanxin looked at the stone wall in front of him with some horror, as if he couldn't believe that it was so solid.
Yuan Lie watched his actions coldly, a hint of mockery , but it was gone in a flash. He laughed and said:
"Now that Brother Yan has tested it, it seems that all of you fellow Taoists should have no questions, right?"
"To our shame, this stone wall is indeed extremely solid. It is simply not something any one of us can break alone!" Yanxin turned around and said in a dull voice.
"But even if we unite, I'm afraid we won't be able to break this wall!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
"But since Brother Yuan already knew all this, I think he has already made preparations, otherwise he would not have brought us here!" Hou Ming looked at Yuan Lie and said.
"Yes, Yuan had already made preparations when he left the clan!"
As Yuan Lie spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped the storage bracelet, and a stone statue appeared on his hand.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a statue of an evil ghost with an extremely hideous face. Just one glance at it made people feel a chill in their hearts.
"This is?"
Seeing the statue, everyone frowned.
"This is a secret puppet that Yuan took out from his clan. After it is activated, a full-strength attack is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the middle or late stage of fusion. However, it requires at least four Void Refinement cultivators to work together to barely activate it!" Yuan Lie explained to everyone while holding the evil ghost statue.
"Mystical puppet?!"
Upon hearing the name, Ye Changsheng and the other three were a little surprised. They looked at the puppet with great interest and began to look at it carefully.
The so-called mystical puppet is actually a kind of thing similar to the talisman popular among low-level monks.
This kind of puppet is extremely powerful, but it can only be used a few times. Each time it is used, a large amount of mana is consumed to activate it.
And after activating it, you can only launch one attack.
But just this one attack is sometimes enough to change the entire situation in various battles.
After all, the power of this attack far exceeds the level of cultivation possessed by the person controlling the puppet.
A full-strength attack from a cultivator in the middle or late stage of fusion is enough to kill a large number of cultivators in the realm of virtual refining.
"Brother Yuan actually has this kind of thing in his hands, it's really enviable!" Hou Ming said in amazement.
"It's comparable to the middle and late stages of fusion. This time, this wall will definitely be broken!" Yan Xin said with a look of joy on his face.
"No wonder Brother Yuan insisted on gathering four people. I finally understand. But before that, Brother Yuan should give me that thing, right?" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
Hearing his words, Hou Ming and Yan Xin's eyes both flashed with strange colors.
They couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of deal Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie had discussed. It seemed that Yuan Lie had something that Ye Changsheng urgently needed .
However, although curious, both of them wisely did not ask.
After all, this is a private matter between the two of them.
At this point, Yuan Lie no longer hesitated and readily took out a storage bracelet and threw it to Ye Changsheng.
"The things are in here, please keep them, Brother Ye!" he said lightly.
Ye Changsheng took the storage bracelet and probed his spiritual sense into it. There was only an ochre-colored bead inside, with light yellow lightning flashing on it.
It was indeed the thick earth bead made from thick earth and soil. In the future, Ye Changsheng only needed to clean up the impurities in this bead and restore it to its essence, and then he could put it into his body to nourish it.
After putting away the storage bracelet, Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest goal of this trip had been achieved.
Next, no matter what happened, he would have enough room to maneuver and no longer have to worry about the thick earth beads.
With a smile on his face, Ye Changsheng laughed and said, "Brother Yuan is straightforward. Next, I will go all out to help fellow Taoists break through this wall!"
"Okay, then let all fellow Taoists take action together!" Yuan Lie said quickly with a look of joy on his face.
Ye Changsheng and the others all nodded, and then everyone dispersed. Yuan Lie placed the evil ghost statue in the middle, and the four of them stood in each corner.
Then, four streams of magical powers burst out and shot towards the evil ghost statue.
After the tremendous magic power was injected into the statue, only a black light appeared on the statue, and there was no other reaction.
"Fellow Taoists, please increase the injection of magic power!" Yuan Lie saw this and hurriedly reminded them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng and the others channeled more magic power into the statue. As more and more magic power was input, the black light on the evil ghost statue became stronger and stronger.
But the evil ghost statue still did not respond. Seeing this, the four people could only continue to input more magic power into it.
Slowly, when the four people's faces turned pale, the puppet still did not move.
At this point, Hou Ming and Yan Xin could no longer sit still. Hou Ming said gloomily, "Brother Yuan, if this continues, we will all be sucked dry!"
"Can't this puppet be activated yet? Brother Yuan, if we continue like this we won't have enough mana to consume for this puppet!" Yan Xin also said.
Yuan Lie's face was a little pale at this time, but he was still very calm: "Everyone, this is a puppet whose full-strength attack is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle or late stage of fusion. How can it be so easy to activate it?"
"But I can guarantee that you will have some mana left. I have carefully calculated the mana required to activate this puppet. It is definitely enough for the four of us!"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Hou Ming snorted lightly, somewhat unhappy.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to consume only a little magic power in a place like this.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. A large amount of magic power has been input now. If the magic power is withdrawn at this time, all previous efforts will be wasted.
After all, they still hoped to get the Tianxin Liquid, and seeing that Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie also looked pale and exhausted, their worries dissipated a little.
In any case, the mana of the other two is also being consumed, and everyone is in the same situation, so there is no need to worry about anyone betraying everyone and taking action.
