Flying Dou Technique

Any force that possessed a secret realm was bound to be extremely powerful. From what he had observed beside the spatial channel just now, the space within this secret realm was definitely not small, and it contained a great many buildings.

It must once have been a massive sect with countless members, yet now it had fallen to the point where no successors remained and corpses littered its grounds. It was hard not to sigh at the sight.

These skeletons were somewhat unsettling.

But they did not slow Xiao Ming's steps in the slightest. Instead, he quickened his pace.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ming reached his destination.

After circling around the last big tree, more than ten meters wide, his field of vision suddenly opened up, revealing a small square dozens of meters across before his eyes.

The square was entirely made of White Rock, spotless white, with patterns of birds and beasts carved upon it, as well as runes similar to those on the Jade Stone Plaza outside.

However, while these runes were somewhat strange, they did not display the same power as the runes on the Jade Stone Plaza.

A pavilion stood at the far end of the square. Its entire structure was made from unknown Red Wood, and it seemed to share the same origin as the surrounding trees, both being exceptionally large.

Standing at the edge of the white square, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and carefully examined it. After pondering for a moment, he extended his right hand.

"Ling" appeared in his hand.

"Go scout the way," Xiao Ming ordered Ling with his Soul Power.

Immediately, Ling, flickering in his hand, slowly floated up and flew toward the pavilion across the square.

"Really nothing?"

When Ling slowly drifted into the square without suffering any attack, Xiao Ming inwardly let out a breath of relief.

Still, he did not rashly enter the square. After all, the fate of that Da Dou Shi who had stepped onto the Jade Stone Plaza outside was still vivid in his mind.

"Attack this square for me."

He gave Ling another command.

Ling did not hesitate at all upon receiving the order. After trembling for a moment, it fired a green light pillar over ten centimeters thick toward the ground.

Puff!

A faint white light screen appeared, seemingly trying to block Ling's attack. Unfortunately, it lasted for less than a second before Ling forcefully shattered it.

Without the membrane's protection, the green light pillar easily pierced through the white stone, leaving behind a black hole more than ten centimeters wide in the white square.

"It seems that aside from the Jade Stone Plaza outside, this giant stone square does not have the ability to make people explode into Blood Mist."

After carefully sensing the energy contained within the White Protective Cover just now, Xiao Ming thought to himself.

That Energy Shield could at most clear away rotten leaves. It was incapable of posing any danger to people.

Now that he had determined the square posed no danger to humans, Xiao Ming ordered Ling to return.

In an instant, Ling appeared in Xiao Ming's hand, then vanished with a flip of his hand.

He lifted his foot and crossed the white square. Encountering no obstacles, he smoothly arrived before the pavilion's main doors.

After glancing at the plaque above the door, Xiao Ming reached out and pushed open the red wooden doors, which were likewise carved with birds and beasts.

Creak!

The moderate sound of the wooden door opening rang out within the building, which had not been entered for who knew how long, breaking the silence of countless years.

The first floor of the pavilion was not dark. Moonlight Stones on both sides served as sources of illumination.

As Xiao Ming had expected, the pavilion's interior was as vast as its exterior appeared.

The first floor seemed to be an ordinary living and reception area. Aside from several wooden racks holding weapons and some chairs, there was nothing particularly unusual.

Walking inside, Xiao Ming carefully swept over the area.

In the end, he did not find anything especially noteworthy.

Left with no choice, he turned his attention to the weapon racks.

He drew the nearest azure sword. Its smooth blade reflected Xiao Ming's face. He stretched out a finger and lightly flicked the blade. It trembled slightly, and a pleasant Sword Hum suddenly rang out.

Good sword!

As someone who used swords, Xiao Ming had quite a bit of knowledge about them.

This was a fine sword whose material was no weaker than that of his Fifth Tier Magic Core Sword. Aside from lacking an embedded Magic Core, it was in no way inferior.

The long years of silence within the pavilion had not affected it in the slightest.

"Just this sword alone means this trip was not wasted." Xiao Ming happily stored the sword in his Na Ring.

He then turned his gaze toward the other weapons on the rack.

"Two more spears, two broadswords, and a Curved Saber. Hehe, not bad, not bad. Since they were placed together with the longsword, their quality should not be much worse. Though none of them have Magic Cores either, they should still be worth several hundred thousand Gold Coin."

After cheerfully storing these items in his Na Ring, Xiao Ming turned his attention to the passage leading to the Second Floor.

Upon reaching the Second Floor, Xiao Ming found that there were many rooms.

He casually pushed open one room and searched it for a while, but did not find anything valuable.

Xiao Ming was not discouraged and instead went to search the next room.

He searched through the rooms one by one. Not Long After, Xiao Ming had finished searching the Second Floor and reappeared at the Stairs.

There were now several Bottles and Jars, as well as two Scrolls, in his hands.

He first placed these items on the ground, uncorked a Medicine Bottle, and poured its contents into his palm. A dull Medicinal Pellet appeared in his hand.

He brought it to his nose and sniffed it, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"The grade is too low, and it was not preserved properly. Its medicinal properties have completely dissipated."

As he spoke, Xiao Ming Shook His Head.

Although one could not say that everything on the Dou Qi Continent had an expiration date.

It was absolutely correct to say that low-grade items had shelf lives.

While Pills generally had fairly long shelf lives, their medicinal properties could still easily dissipate if they were not properly preserved.

The lower the grade of the Pill, the more this was true.

Only high-grade Pills possessing spirituality were unaffected by time. Instead, they grew increasingly potent as time passed by.

The Pill in Xiao Ming's hand was definitely not a high-grade Pill. Without proper preservation, it had already become a useless Pill.

Xiao Ming's sigh was not because he regretted failing to obtain a low-grade Pill. Such Pills might be precious to others, but to him, an alchemist, they were nothing much.

He sighed because he had never seen this type of Pill before. It was one kind of ancient Pill, and if its medicinal properties remained, he could have studied it, which would have benefited his alchemy.

But now that these Pills had become useless Pills, they no longer held any research value.

Xiao Ming casually threw the useless Pill onto the ground, then opened the other bottles. The contents of those bottles were much the same.

With another sigh, he casually discarded those items at his feet.

Holding an Ancient Scroll in each hand, Xiao Ming first looked at the Fire Jade Colored Scroll in his right hand.

"Fire Attribute Profound Tier High Grade Cultivation Method, Spirit Flame Technique."

Looking at the large words written on the Scroll, Xiao Ming curled his lip.

Having obtained the Spirit Nourishing Technique, he had long since lost interest in other Cultivation Methods. Perhaps only the Flame Mantra in Old Man Yao's possession could make him spare it a few extra glances.

This Profound Tier Fire Attribute Cultivation Method was not entirely useless. At the very least, it could add to his collection, making it much better than those useless Pills.

After storing this Scroll in his Na Ring, Xiao Ming looked at the other Azure Ancient Scroll.

A line of large words was clearly written on the Scroll: "Yellow Tier High Grade Flying Dou Technique: Azure Peregrine Falcon Wings."
