Black Abyss Cave Anomaly
However, before starting the game, Lin Yi took some time to go to the Spirit Vine World and used his remaining talent draw opportunity to draw a Gold Grade talent related to ' Kun Earth '.
[Earthly Body - Metal]: A rare talent. Those who solidify their bodies will become the darlings of the earth. As long as their feet are firmly planted on the ground, they can continuously draw upon the rich Earth Veins energy, integrating it into their own meridians and bloodlines for cultivation, and restoring damaged strength...
Unfortunately, although this talent contains the character 'Earth', it is not closely related to 'Kun Di' (Kun Earth), which means Lin Yi did not receive the talent bonus he expected.
Having become accustomed to the speed of high-speed rail and airplanes, Lin Yi now felt that his progress in his Domain was as slow as a snail's pace.
Too slow!
This kind of intensive and inefficient cultivation was a complete waste of time for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi shook his head. Seeing that there were still at least a few hours until midnight, he went to the Spirit Vine World to retrieve the Void Flame Lotus.
This item is Lin Yi's most precious Red Supreme Treasure, which Lin Yi has been nurturing deep within a volcano.
Lin Yi remained hesitant about how to utilize this treasure.
They could either devour it to gain another red physique, or dismantle it into eight petals to exchange for what they lacked. If they chose the latter, they might expose their greed for treasure.
After all, many Garrison Commander had contributed to the fight against the Five-Clawed Dark Dragon. If those people knew that the Void Flame Lotus was on Lin Yi, their goodwill towards Lin Yi would probably decrease significantly.
After much thought, Lin Yi decided to use this item to forge a treasure that suited his ' Li Fire ' Domain.
Yesterday, Lin Yi learned from Qiu Heming that the power of heaven and earth could be refined into treasures or Demigod Artifact, which instantly gave Lin Yi, who possessed the [Master Craftsman] title, many more ideas for refining treasures.
If this lotus is used as the core, and combined with the huge Fire Yuan Stone mine he dug out from the Endless Fire Domain, it can probably be refined into a top-grade Martial Dao Spirit Treasure that is at least Demigod Artifact.
Lin Yi was not one to hesitate, and once he had the idea, he decided to give it a try.
However, even if the Void Flame Lotus Void Flame Lotus is refined into a treasure, its true form cannot be exposed; it must be hidden away.
Within the Spirit Vine World, Lin Yi used the power of ' Gen Mountain ' to toss up a massive Fire Yuan Stone Mine, suspending it high in the sky, while using the other hand to continuously refine the Fire Yuan Stone with Blazing Flame Fire.
As time passed, the massive Fire Yuan Stone Mine shrank continuously, and the essence within the Spirit Ore was constantly refined and extracted.
After midnight, Lin Yi, who was smelting Fire Yuan Stone Mine, stopped and put the smelted Fire Yuan Stone into his Backpack Space, and began today's talent replacement.
Now that ' Xun Wind ' has reached its full potential, Lin Yi should replace the related talent.
Each talent can only be replaced after three days. Among them, [Xun Wind Body] and [Wind Intent Perception] have not been three days yet, so Lin Yi removed the currently unused [Karma Archery] and [Master Alchemist].
Soon, Lin Yi gained two new talents: [Evil-Swallowing Barbarian Body - Metal] and [Earth Source Master - Metal].
These are all rare individuals with Golden Talent.
The former is a talent that relies on Devour Baleful Qi to hone the physical body. As long as there is enough Evil Spirit Qi, the physical body can be strengthened infinitely, making it a growth-oriented talent.
The latter is different; it's more like a kind of talent inheritance.
After Lin Yi solidified his [Earth Source Master] talent, he gained a lot of knowledge related to Earth Veins. He could identify the Earth Vein Dragon Qi and sense the flow direction and strength changes of Earth Veins energy.
Furthermore, the innate talent of [Earth Source Master] gave Lin Yi a qualitative understanding of the ' Kun Earth ' Domain.
After solidifying his talents, Lin Yi returned to the Meditation Chamber, ready to test the effects of the two talents.
Half an hour later, Lin Yi's face lit up with joy.
The two Golden Talent that Tian drew did not disappoint him. For example, his comprehension speed of the ' Kun Earth ' Domain was like taking a high-speed train, and his comprehension value soared.
If this rate of increase continues, he could probably complete the ' Kun Earth ' technique in just over a week in this Meditation Chamber.
However, just as Lin Yi was in seclusion in the Cave Mountain to comprehend the Domain, a major incident occurred in the entire Ancient Secret Realm.
On the night Lin Yi left, the Black Abyss Cave in Profound Wind Treasure Valley stopped spewing out Profound Wind and instead produced a continuous stream of numerous ferocious beasts.
This beast is entirely black and at first glance resembles a giant, upright toad, but it is much larger, reaching several meters in length. Its skin is dark black and covered with a layer of sticky black mucus.
Its eyes bulged out, about the size of lanterns, and gleamed with a sinister red light.
Most importantly, each of these toad-like beasts is unafraid of the power of the Profound Wind and can blend into the darkness. They are fearless and comparable to Martial Saint in the seventh stage of the Initial Realm.
On the very first day the strange beast appeared, many Martial Saint who were exploring for treasures around Profound Wind Treasure Valley were attacked, and several were killed or injured instantly.
Even the Martial Saint in the Meditation Chamber were attacked one after another.
The Inspector in charge of guarding Profound Wind Treasure Valley was an Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor. When he saw the strange occurrences in the valley, he immediately summoned more than a dozen seventh realm Martial Saint to go down into the valley to find out the source of the strange beasts. However, before they even reached the Black Whirlwind area in the middle of the valley cliff, they were besieged by a large number of toad-like strange beasts. More than a dozen Martial Saint were injured and fled. Even this Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor was besieged by many strange beasts and almost did not escape.
The day after the strange beasts appeared, Profound Wind Treasure Valley fell. Many Martial Saint fled, and those who did not escape were probably already devoured by the strange beasts.
The situation was critical, and the suddenness of the situation shook the Martial Saint City.
After all, the Ancient Secret Realm is too important; it is the foundation upon which the Ancient Domain has so many Domain Realm Martial Saint.
Without investigating the origins of these strange beasts, who knows if there are even more terrifying things existing in Yu?
If the Ancient Secret Realm is lost, the number of Martial Saint in the last three realms of the entire Ancient Domain will probably be reduced by more than half.
At this time, Qiu Heming, who had already left the Ancient Secret Realm, learned about the situation of Profound Wind Treasure Valley and guessed that this matter was probably related to the Black Abyss Cave.
He immediately contacted Wu Shi and reported his experiences at the bottom of the valley in detail.
Subsequently, Lin Yi, who was still in seclusion studying ' Kun Earth ', received a message from his cheap Master Wushi.
"Something unusual has happened at Profound Wind Treasure Valley. This matter is no simple one; it concerns the safety of the Ancient Secret Realm. If there are no people from Tongguan Prefecture within the secret realm, and I am unable to spare the time, you will go in my place..."
After reading this information, Lin Yi felt only disgusted.
So, he's been recruited to boost his image?
Or is it the kind of job where there are no benefits?
If I had known, I would have let anyone who wanted the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord take it. There aren't many benefits, just a ton of mundane troubles...
"Master, I am still seventh realm Martial Saint, and I am currently in the critical stage of seclusion. Besides, this should be a matter for Martial Saint City. With the Zun Sheng Saint here, no strange beast is a threat."
Wu Shi, having discerned Lin Yi's temperament, did not erupt in anger. Instead, he slowly said, "Tongguan Prefecture and Martial Saint City are one entity. If you don't go, I won't have the face to ask for your place once the core slots for the Ancient Secret Realm are finalized..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go!"
Despite his complaints, Lin Yi resolutely left Cave Mountain.
If that strange beast really did crawl out of the Black Abyss Cave, we really need to find out its source. Otherwise, the rampage caused by the beast might interrupt his seclusion plan.
As for the benefits of completing the work, he could always get them; he wasn't afraid that Wu Shi would renege on his promise.
