Chapter 606: Immortal Palace
"Spiritual Dao Fruit, there is actually such a miraculous fruit in the world." Qin Ziling was amazed after hearing this, and soon asked, "By the way, can you refine this Dragon Blood Creation Pill with your current strength?"
"The Dragon Blood Creation Pill is not difficult for me to make, the difficult part is the materials!" replied the Fire Dragon.
"Well, although Lingdao Fruit is rare, precious and difficult to find, it is at least a shortcut." Qin Ziling nodded, and continued to count the harvest.
"Hey, this looks like a map?" Qin Ziling soon found a torn map in the storage ring of the Second Palace Master Ji Songting.
However, Qin Ziling had only been to a limited number of places, so he had no way of determining where this incomplete map indicated.
The Fire Dragon's memory mainly contained some information related to cultivation, alchemy, and refining. Many other memories were missing. Even if he was shown the incomplete picture, he couldn't make sense of it.
Qin Ziling put the incomplete map away first, thinking about asking Qicai later.
Qicai used to do the same thing as Louji and had been to many places.
It took Qin Ziling a long time to finally count the harvest, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
The gains this time were too much for him, it was like he became rich overnight.
Qin Ziling gave some precious minerals, medicinal materials, magic weapons to the Fire Dragon and asked him to help deal with them, as well as the hundreds of fairy power rainbows across the sky.
However, Qin Ziling did not let the fire dragon refine the two fourth-grade True Immortal-level immortal power rainbows.
Firstly, it would take a lot of energy for the Fire Dragon to refine the fourth-grade True Immortal-level Dust-Free Immortal Pill; secondly, Qin Ziling could not use the fourth-grade True Immortal-level Dust-Free Immortal Pill now.
Thousand-year-old dragon blood ganoderma, Qin Ziling took three deer antler branches and three fan-shaped branches and gave them to the fire dragon, and prepared other medicinal materials, asking the fire dragon to help refine the dragon power and blood elixir.
Qin Ziling left the remaining eight branches alone for the time being.
The fire dragon absorbed a lot of pure yang energy this time, recovered some of its strength, and was full of energy.
As soon as Qin Ziling explained everything, he activated the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover and began to refine the elixir and weapons.
The fire dragon was refining the elixir and the weapon, and Qin Ziling was not idle either. He sat cross-legged and watched the fire dragon refining the elixir and the weapon, trying to comprehend the methods of refining the elixir and the weapon.
Huolong is a true master. It is rare for him to open the furnace, especially this time it is such a big project. This opportunity is certainly not to be missed.
…
One month later.
A shuttle-shaped fairy boat appeared outside a sea area shrouded in thick clouds and fog.
"Master, the foggy sea is ahead. The foggy sea covers an area of one million miles. It is like a maze, hiding many unknown dangers. Moreover, the fog here is different from other places. My immortal sense can only scan the area within ten miles.
I haven't been to many places here. Generally, the range of my activities is only a few thousand miles around my home base. I won't explore further unless it is necessary.
The place pointed to by the incomplete map you gave me must be this foggy sea area, but it will take a lot of time to find the specific place. "Standing at the bow of the boat, Qicai pointed to the sea area in the distance that was covered with clouds and mist and stretched for countless miles, as if it was endless, and said.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have left a few people alive." Qin Ziling looked at the endless clouds and mist and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"It's useless, Master. The terrain in the foggy sea is complicated. Only those places you go in and out frequently can remember the path clearly. Other places, even if you go there occasionally, once you leave, you will still be at a loss when you go back to look for them." Qicai said.
"Well, it seems that the Blood Evil Palace has not come to the Pingyu Mountain blessed land for a long time. It is estimated that all their time has been spent in this foggy sea. In this case, there is no need to rush to find the immortal palace in this incomplete map. Let's go to Louji's old nest first and familiarize ourselves with the foggy sea." Qin Ziling nodded.
As he was speaking, a figure flashed by, and a tall and thin old man appeared in front of Qin Ziling and Qicai.
This old man was a quasi-true immortal. He went with Lou Ji to attack Pingyu Mountain and was captured alive by Qin Ziling.
"I, your humble servant, greet my master." As soon as the old man appeared, he knelt on one knee.
"Lead the way to Louji's lair." Qin Ziling waved his hand and said lightly.
The group of men that Lou Ji gathered were all evildoers. This old man was considered a relatively "kind" one among the survivors. Qin Ziling finally kept him, but he had also done many evil things. So although Qin Ziling spared his life, he really treated him as a slave.
"Yes, master!" The old man stood up, looked around first, then took Qin Ziling and Qicai to fly around the periphery of the foggy sea. After flying for about half a day, they finally found the entrance.
As soon as he entered the foggy sea, Qin Ziling realized that the clouds here were indeed different from ordinary clouds. Not only did they give people a heavy feeling, but they also seemed to disrupt the space. It was like a domain world set up by some powerful person. Once you enter it, you will be restricted everywhere.
Qin Ziling tried to release a few wisps of his soul.
Although a few wisps of spirits were suppressed in the clouds, they had no problem exploring two or three hundred miles, which made Qin Ziling feel a lot more relaxed.
Kuang Fu, the old man who was a quasi-immortal, took Qin Ziling and Qicai to turn left and right in the foggy sea. Every time he flew a certain distance, he would stop for a while to observe the reference objects around him before moving forward to avoid taking the wrong path.
During the flight, Qin Ziling discovered that there were actually quite a few space whirlpools and cracks hidden in the clouds. If people approached carelessly, they would most likely be sucked in.
Not only that, from time to time, devil claws would suddenly emerge from the whirlpools and cracks in the space. The claws exuded a terrifying aura of power, which was at least at the level of a second-grade True Immortal. However, the claws seemed to be restricted by the laws of this world and could only extend within a few miles.
"No wonder people say that the foggy sea is extremely dangerous. Once a criminal sneaks in there, it's really hard to catch him." Qin Ziling watched a devil's claw poke out of a crack several miles away. Kuang Fu, who was leading the way in front, was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, feeling quite emotional.
"Yes, so Lou Ji committed a crime and hid in this foggy sea. Even a powerful Feiyu Pavilion couldn't do anything about him after hundreds of years. But by accident, he was killed by you, the master. Speaking of which, if you take Lou Ji's head to Feiyu Pavilion now, you should be able to get a bounty." Qicai said.
"Oh! There is such a thing. I have to keep Lou Ji's head for now." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
Louji's nest was deep in the foggy sea, and flying in the foggy sea was not fast, so two days later, Kuang Fu brought Qin Ziling and Qicai to Louji's nest.
Louji's old nest is located in an area surrounded by many rocky islands, rough waves, and many space whirlpools and cracks. From time to time, devil's claws appear. The clouds and fog are thick, which makes people scared at first glance. No one dares to enter to explore.
Kuang Fu led the two of them carefully through a canyon with reef islands and space cracks on both sides, and then through several miles of thick clouds and fog. Then Kuang Fu took out an ancient mirror and shone it at a certain place in the clouds and fog.
The clouds gradually rolled back to both sides , revealing a passage.
The three of them stepped into the passage and suddenly the view in front of them brightened.
What appeared before us was an island full of vitality and fairy spirit. The surroundings of the island were calm and the sea was blue. You could clearly see the fish swimming leisurely under the sea.
There are also two first-grade true immortals on the island.
"Kuang Fu, you actually dare to bring outsiders to Yinlong Island!" The two True Immortals guarding the island were surprised to see Kuang Fu coming back, but when they saw Qin Ziling and Qicai following him, their faces suddenly changed. Without saying a word, they summoned their magic weapons to kill the three people.
"Hidden Dragon Island, you are worthy of using this name!" Qin Ziling smiled coldly upon seeing this, and as he stretched out his right hand, a huge golden dragon claw tore through the void, and in the blink of an eye it was above the two True Immortals.
A terrifying aura and power instantly enveloped the two True Immortals, causing their souls to tremble uncontrollably.
This aura, this power, is even more terrifying than that of their island master Lou Ji.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Golden Dragon Claw flicked its finger, and their magic weapons were bounced away. Then the Golden Dragon Claw fell, and their body protection shields were instantly covered with cracks, and then exploded.
Then, the golden dragon claw fell, and the sharp claws penetrated directly into the body.
The two first-grade true immortals were killed instantly.
Seeing Qin Ziling's golden dragon claw come out and the two first-grade true immortals were killed instantly, Qicai and Kuang Fu both shuddered all over.
The power of this golden dragon claw is much stronger than it was a month ago in Pingyu Mountain. It must have reached the level of a fourth-grade True Immortal, or even a relatively powerful fourth-grade True Immortal.
Qicai and Kuang Fu’s guesses were correct.
Some time ago, Huolong used six thousand-year-old dragon blood ganoderma branches and leaves as the main medicinal materials to refine six dragon power and blood pills.
Qin Ziling took one pill and the effect was excellent.
His martial arts were almost at the level of triggering the cave heaven tribulation, and his strength had greatly increased. After this trip to the foggy sea and making some extra money, he was going to go into seclusion and wait for the cave heaven tribulation.
"The rest is up to you. Be careful not to damage the Hidden Dragon Island. This island can be regarded as our stronghold." Qin Ziling gave the order as he put the bodies of the two True Immortals into the cave world.
"yes!"
Qicai and Kuang Fu received orders and charged into Hidden Dragon Island.
There were very few people left guarding Hidden Dragon Island, only about twenty people. The truly powerful ones were the two first-grade True Immortals, who were killed as soon as they showed up. And now Qicai was about to pass the wind and fire tribulation and become a second-grade True Immortal, so it would be easy for him to deal with those minions.
A colorful spider web was cast out, and in a few seconds it caught all the people who stayed behind.
Although Yinlong Island is small, because it is the place where Lou Ji lives and hides, a large part of the wealth he has plundered over the years is hidden on this island, and some of the wealth is used to transform Yinlong Island, making it a fairyland for cultivation.
Originally, Qin Ziling was still short of two medicinal ingredients to refine the third-grade Deliverance Pill, but he unexpectedly found them in the treasure house on Hidden Dragon Island.
Not only that, the ground beneath the Island Lord's Mansion was hollowed out, with fairy stones as the foundation, and formations were set up, making the entire Island Lord's Mansion filled with fairy spirit to a frighteningly rich degree.
Qin Ziling swept away all the important resources on Yinlong Island. He also dug up the immortal stones buried under the island owner's mansion, including the middle and upper grade immortal stones, leaving only the lower grade immortal stones.
After almost sweeping away everything, Qin Ziling left with Qicai, leaving Kuang Fu and several earth immortals who were under restrictions to guard Yinlong Island.
After leaving Hidden Dragon Island, Qin Ziling had a general understanding of the situation in the Misty Sea, so he took Qicai and began to search for Luotian Island according to the incomplete map.
He has the help of his spirit. When he releases his spirits, they can cover an area of hundreds of miles in radius at once. It is many times more powerful than Qicai and the others using their spiritual sense to scan, and can also avoid many dangerous areas in advance.
Soon, another twenty days passed.
Qin Ziling has not yet found the Luotian Island marked in the incomplete map, but he has found several thieves' dens.
Qin Ziling naturally would not be polite to them. Those who committed serious crimes were killed directly and their dens were destroyed. For those who were relatively less evil, restrictions were imposed on them and they were forced to stay. This was like leaving some spies and strongholds in the foggy sea, which might be used someday.
After twenty days or so, although Qin Ziling did not find Luotian Island, he made a lot of money and gathered a lot of people, two of whom were first-grade true immortals.
In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Qin Ziling and Qicai passed through a foggy sea area with very complex terrain and came to a rocky island.
There was a black fog more than ten miles away.
In the black fog, you can vaguely see dense space cracks, from which huge devil claws appear from time to time, which makes people afraid.
But in the midst of the black fog, there was a faint glow of light.
Through the rosy glow, one can vaguely see the black fog, and there is another world under the cover of huge devil's claws.
It was a beautiful spring day with lush vegetation, singing birds and fragrant flowers. The mountains were undulating and even some palaces could be vaguely seen.
"This should be it. That ray of light should be the entrance." Qin Ziling compared the incomplete map with the surrounding scenery, a hint of joy on his face.
When Qicai saw this, he took a deep breath.
There were space cracks all around that ray of light, and huge devil claws stretched out from time to time. The aura emitted by each devil claw was at least as powerful as a third-grade true immortal. With her level of cultivation, it was impossible for her to get through.
"I wonder what good things are in there!" Qin Ziling's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.
As he spoke, Qin Ziling moved the seven colors into the cave world, and then Qin Ziling took a step towards the area filled with black fog.
Qin Ziling had just taken a step forward when devil's claws reached out to grab him, but Qin Ziling twisted in the black fog like a ghost and easily avoided the devil's claws.
The devil's claws grabbed nothing, and soon other devil's claws fell.
Qin Ziling dodged it lightly as if he had predicted it.
Soon, Qin Ziling dodged the clutches of one devil after another and came to the place where the rosy glow was shining.
Qin Ziling stepped in without hesitation.
As soon as he stepped in, Qin Ziling felt as if he had suddenly arrived in another world.
This world is indeed just like what we see outside, with bright spring sunshine, lush vegetation, singing birds, fragrant flowers, and rolling mountains.
But in this land of bright spring, lush vegetation, singing birds and fragrant flowers, you can see some skeletons, including those of humans and other huge races.
Most of these skeletons appear to be very old, and many have been weathered. When the wind blows, white dust will fly up, and then a few holes will appear on the bones, just like rocks hollowed out by sea water.
There are indeed palaces in the mountains.
It was a huge palace complex located in the middle of the mountains.
Many palaces are in ruins, but they still look magnificent.
Qin Ziling did not act rashly, but observed his surroundings vigilantly, and then quickly set his sights on the huge palace complex far away in the mountains.
“Something’s wrong!”
Suddenly, the voice of a fire dragon sounded in Qin Ziling's mind.
In the Niwan Palace, the fire dragon poked out its huge head from the fragments that were originally floating around the golden body of the soul.
"Senior, do you also feel something is wrong?" Qin Ziling's face became very solemn when he saw the fire dragon being awakened.
If the fire dragon doesn't call him, he will basically not wake up on his own, unless he senses the powerful energy of the heavenly calamity or senses that Qin Ziling is in danger.
There is no heavenly calamity here , but the fire dragon has woken up. It is obvious that this place is not simple. At least even the fire dragon feels palpitations, so it wakes up on its own initiative.
"Those palaces should be equipped with very powerful formations and restrictions!" said the Fire Dragon.
"Well, I just released my soul to investigate, and a few strands were strangled to death directly. The formations and restrictions here are indeed powerful. I don't know which powerful figure left this immortal palace behind. But I plan to give it a try. Feng Yin got the Millennium Dragon Blood Ganoderma from here." Qin Ziling said.
"With me here, you can go ahead and try. But you still have to be careful. The owner of this fairy palace may have once been a Taoist immortal, but I don't know why it has been abandoned." said the fire dragon.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded, then resolutely flew towards the huge palace complex deep in the mountains.
Along the way, Qin Ziling saw some skeletons one after another, but he rarely saw any magical herbs or elixirs worth picking or any lost magic items.
"It seems that many people have entered this Luotian Island over the long years. The outer forbidden formations have basically disappeared with the passage of time and human destruction. It's a pity that these predecessors not only failed to gain any benefits, but even the things they left behind were taken away by their descendants."
Qin Ziling was speculating in his mind, then suddenly stopped and looked up ahead.
The palace complex stood before our eyes.
Qin Ziling didn't feel much when he saw it from afar just now, but when he got there, he realized how grand and magnificent it was. He looked as small as a speck of dust standing in front of it.
Not only that, even though many of the outer palaces are now only ruins, they still exude an indescribable aura of majesty, as if they are sacred and inviolable.
In the center of the palace complex, there stand twelve palaces.
These twelve palaces are relatively complete, and the aura they exude is even more majestic and terrifying. Even someone as powerful as Qin Ziling would feel as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him when he looked at them from afar.
There are nearly a thousand palaces in the palace complex.
One circle surrounds another, and the twelve palaces are at the innermost.
Qin Ziling began to investigate.
There are still some formations and restrictions left in the outer palace, but their power is very weak. They can trap some earth immortals in the Immortal Infant Realm, but for Qin Ziling, it is just child's play.
However, the outer palaces had obviously been raided.
Qin Ziling searched nine hundred palaces along the way, but he didn't find any treasures that could interest him.
Only when reaching the 856th palace did they discover a piece of land stained by the blood of an ancient true dragon. There was also a pit on it. Apparently, Feng Yin had found the thousand-year-old dragon blood ganoderma here.
It's a pity that the land soaked in the blood of the real dragon is integrated with the surrounding environment and cannot be dug away. Otherwise, it would be like limbs leaving the body and losing life. Otherwise, if a piece of land soaked in the blood of the ancient real dragon is dug and moved into the cave world, it would also be a huge fortune.
Finally, Qin Ziling arrived at the innermost of the twelve palaces which were relatively well preserved.
Standing in front of the twelve palaces, Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
