Early the next morning, Qin Tiexin opened the door of Zhuxintang.
There are people in the hall, more than one.
Luo Ling was sitting on the stone bench, playing with a piece of jade in his hand, and Wu Zhen was standing by the forging platform wiping the tools. There were also two people - Chen Xi and Nangong Yao.
Nangong Yao wore a goose-yellow dress today, which made her skin fair. She had just left seclusion not long ago, and her breath was much firmer than before. It was obvious that she had successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. There was just a faint green shadow under her eyes, as if she had not rested well.
Seeing Qin Tiexin come in, she walked over quickly and looked him up and down with complicated eyes.
"Junior brother..." Nangong Yao's voice was a little bitter, "I heard that you are going to the Hunyuan Sect ruins?"
Qin Tiexin nodded.
Nangong Yao bit her lip, took out two things from Storage Bag and put them into his hands.
One is a piece of inner armor as thin as cicada wings, with cold and soft tentacles. If you look closely, you can see silver patterns as fine as spider webs between the silk threads. The other is a pair of dark gray short boots with cloud patterns engraved on the soles. They are so light that they are almost weightless.
"Xuansi inner armor, I came out overnight." Nangong Yao pointed to the inner armor, "It is made of sky silk, with thirty-six protective spiritual patterns embedded in it. Injecting spiritual power can automatically activate the shield, which can block three full blows from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."
She pointed to the boots again. "Wind-Chasing Boots, the soles of the boots are engraved with light body arrays. After being infused with spiritual power, they can step into the air for a short time. They can be used to dodge or pursue enemies."
Qin Tiexin held two pieces of Law Artifact, and could feel Nangong Yao's body temperature and faint spiritual power fluctuations on them. He looked into her eyes, and the green shadow became more obvious.
"Senior sister... did you stay up late to do it?"
"Nonsense, otherwise there would be no time." Nangong Yao waved her hand and her tone returned to her usual playful tone, "Keep it, don't be polite to me. Senior sister, I am Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, I don't need these."
She paused and then added, "Remember, the spiritual patterns on the inner armor must be warmed with spiritual power regularly, otherwise they will become ineffective. The light body formation of the boots can last up to ten breaths at a time. Don't fly too high. I won't care if you fall."
Qin Tiexin hugged his inner armor and boots tightly, his throat moved, but he didn't say anything.
Chen Xi walked over at this time and took out a bunch of things from his arms.
First there are ten small porcelain bottles, each with a label: Erosion Spirit Pill.
"This stuff is poisonous, don't eat it yourself." Chen Xi spoke quickly, "Use it when fighting the enemy, sprinkle it or apply it on hidden weapons. People who are poisoned will have sluggish spiritual energy and become drowsy. It is effective for Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and below. Remember, don't inhale the smell, and take the detoxifying pill first."
Then there was a stack of twelve yellow talismans, with twisted runes drawn on them.
"Looking for Treasure Talisman." Chen Xi explained, "After being stimulated, it can sense fluctuations of spiritual objects within a hundred meters. But it is easy to misjudge - sometimes the spiritual grass and Spirit Stone mineral veins have similar reactions, and sometimes the powerful Law Artifact will be misjudged as ordinary iron tools. Be careful when using it."
Finally, there are three pieces of talisman paper as thin as cicada wings, which are translucent and you can see the scenery behind them through the paper.
"Shape-changing talisman." Chen Xi said, "If you stick it on your face, you can disguise yourself as someone else, and it will last for three hours. You can't see through it below the golden elixir level. But remember, your voice can't change, and your behavior can easily reveal your identity. It's best to speak less."
He piled everything into Qin Tiexin's arms and took out a few pieces of paper. Each piece of paper was densely written with small words - instructions for use, precautions, and emergency plans.
"Look carefully." Chen Xi stared at Qin Tiexin with serious eyes, "Anything can happen in the ruins. If you feel something is wrong, just use the big teleportation talisman to run away, don't hesitate. No matter how good the treasure is, it is useless to enjoy it even if you die."
Qin Tiexin nodded and put everything away.
Luo Ling stood up at this time and walked over. She was holding six jade bottles in her hand, which were exactly the same as the ones given before - the best Peiyuan Pill.
"For your extra token, I asked Elder Li of the Dan Hall to exchange it for six bottles." Luo Ling handed the bottle to Qin Tiexin, "That old guy is stingy. He refused to give me ten bottles when I asked for them. It took me a long time to bargain and exchange them for six bottles. But it's enough for you to use for two months."
Qin Tiexin took the bottles, six of them, plus the previous bottle, seven bottles in total. Seventy top-grade Peiyuan Pills, with a market price of more than seven hundred Spirit Stone.
Luo Ling took out two more things from his arms.
A thumb-sized white jade talisman with a smooth surface and a faint golden light flowing inside. Three yellow paper talismans with simple paper and a small simple sword drawn with cinnabar.
"This," Luo Ling picked up the white jade talisman, "The golden elixir induction jade talisman. Blood-Drip Recognition, wear it close to your body. When you encounter a life or death crisis, crush it. I can sense it and teleport over to save you within a hundred miles."
She paused. "But it can only be used once, and it takes ten breaths - from the time you crush it to the time I arrive, at least ten breaths. You have to hold on for these ten breaths."
She pointed to the three yellow paper talismans again. "The Sword Gang Talisman seals my three natal sword intentions. When activated, it can slash out a sword equivalent to 70% of my power. It is basically unstoppable if it is less than Foundation Establishment Late Stage. But remember, the sword intention has a spirit, and you must concentrate on it when activating it, otherwise you will easily hurt yourself."
Qin Tiexin took over the jade talisman and sword talisman.
Luo Ling bit her fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood seeped out. She pressed the blood drop on the white jade talisman, and the blood drop was absorbed instantly, and the body of the talisman glowed with a warm and moist light.
"It's your turn." Luo Ling said.
Qin Tiexin also bit his fingertips and dripped blood on the jade talisman. The blood beads seeped into it, and he felt that there was some subtle connection between the jade talisman and himself - as if there was an invisible thread, and the other end was tied to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling's face turned paler than before, but she recovered quickly. She waved her hand. "Okay, everything is here. Now, we will tell you about the secrets in the ruins."
The four of them sat down around the stone table.
Luo Ling spoke first, "First, preserving life is the most important thing. No matter how good the fortuitous opportunity in the ruins is, he still has to take his life. When you encounter someone who is obviously invincible, don't hold on and run away."
Nangong Yao answered, "Second, the best treasures are not necessarily in the middle. Some ruins will deliberately place important treasures in inconspicuous corners, or set traps to mislead. Pay more attention to things that look ordinary."
Chen Xi nodded and added, "Third, be careful of ambush. Not only are there traps in the ruins themselves, but there are also other monks - some of them are specifically guarding the ruins, waiting for others to find the treasures and then rob them. After entering, observe the terrain first and find a way out."
Wu Zhen, who had been silent for a while, now spoke, "Fourth, try to communicate with the ruins. Some ancient ruins have weak spirituality. If the Cultivation Method you cultivate has the same origin as the ruins, or has some special resonance, you may gain unexpected rewards."
Luo Ling finally said, "Fifth, if it doesn't work, just ambush others - this is a bad idea, but it is better than losing your life. Remember, the world of immortality is not a play, don't be soft when you need to be cruel." Chen Xi nodded.
The four of them talked to each other for half an hour.
Qin Tiexin listened quietly and wrote down each item one by one. He held in his arms all the things given by his master - inner armor, boots, elixirs, talismans, jade talismans, as well as Chen Xi's pile of bottles and cans and notes.
There are many things and they are very complicated, but everything is full of warmth.
Nangong Yao's red eyes, Chen Xi's numerous precautions, Luo Ling's pale face when making the jade talisman, and Wu Zhen's rare advice.
Qin Tiexin lowered his head and looked at the pile of things in his arms.
He recalled that when he first came to Qingxuan Territory, he was far away from his hometown and friends, from Qingya Town, to Yingxianping, and then to the simple house at the outer gate. In those places, he was alone. He was alone in blacksmithing, studying alone, and cultivating alone.
But now, no more.
He felt the tip of his nose was a little sore and his eyes were warm. He blinked hard to suppress the heat.
Can't cry.
He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the four people sitting around the table.
Luoling, Wu Zhen, Chen Xi, Nangong Yao.
His master, uncle, brother, and sister.
His disciple.
Qin Tiexin stood up and bowed deeply to the four people.
The waist is bent so low that the head almost touches the knees.
"Disciple..." he said, his voice a little hoarse, "Remember it."
Luo Ling waved her hand. "Okay, okay, don't deal with these nonsense. Go back and pack your things. We will meet at the mountain gate the day after tomorrow. Don't be late."
Qin Tiexin straightened up and put all the things in his arms into Storage Bag. He put them in slowly and carefully, and placed everything neatly.
After putting it away, he saluted again, turned around and walked out of Zhuxintang.
Outside the door, the sun is shining brightly.
Qin Tiexin was walking on the mountain road with steady steps. Storage Bag was attached to my waist, heavy, but that heavy weight was not a burden, but confidence.
He raised his hand and touched his chest - where he wore the induction jade charm given by Luo Ling, which was warm and warm.
He touched his wrist again - the four fangs were cold, but the spiritual power was flowing inside.
He made a fist.
Now he is still weak and needs support from his master. But in the future...
He will become stronger.
Strong enough to stand in front of this group of people, strong enough to repay this warmth.
Qin Tiexin raised his head and looked towards the distant sky.
The day after tomorrow, set off.
