After the light gate stabilized, the crowd in the square began to surge.
The Rogue Cultivators were the first to act. They were in small groups, walking quickly towards the light door, with quick movements and alert eyes. Some even prepared Law Artifact before stepping into the light door, and immediately used Movement Method as soon as they went out, for fear of being stared at at the exit.
For these monks who have no sect background, the period after the ruins are over is often the most dangerous - some people may have obtained precious resources in the ruins, and some may have been injured and weak in the battle, which is a good time to kill people and steal goods.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Rogue Cultivator disappeared behind the light door.
The disciples of the larger sects are relatively orderly.
Golden Sun Sect's Duan Xuan counted the number of people - there were seven when they came in, and now there are six. She asked her classmates to support each other, and after confirming that everyone could move, she led the team towards the light door. When passing by Qin Tiexin, she solemnly clasped her fists again, and then stepped into the light door.
Azure Rosy Cloud Sect, White Cloud Monastery and other sects also left one after another. The leader of each team expressed their gratitude to Qin Tiexin before leaving - either nodding, or briefly thanking them, and their attitude was very sincere.
On the Flowing Cloud Sect's side, there were eight people when they came, but now there are only six left. In addition to the disciple who died when Demon Beast was encountered in the forest at the beginning, there was another person who fell in the poisonous mist just now - inner disciple from Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
Li Yun walked to the disciple, squatted down, breathed, and remained silent for a moment.
She stood up and took out an empty Storage Bag - this low-level Storage Bag cannot store living things, but it can accommodate corpses. She carefully put the disciple's body into her bag, and also found the body of the disciple who died in the forest and put it away.
"Bring it back to the sect for burial." Li Yun said softly, his eyes turning red again.
Qin Tiexin nodded and patted her shoulder.
Liu Qing came over at this time.
He did not leave in a hurry, but walked to Qin Tiexin and stopped.
The two looked at each other.
Liu Qing spoke first, with a very calm voice. "Fellow Daoist Qin, I am lucky to meet you on this trip."
He paused, with a rare sincerity in his eyes. "In the world of immortality, there are intrigues and intrigues, and everyone is scheming. There are very few people like fellow Daoist Qin who have a pure mind and value love and justice."
Qin Tiexin looked at him and said nothing.
Liu Qing smiled, "The world is vast, and the road to immortality is long. We say goodbye this time, and I don't know when we will see each other again. But Liu has a hunch - Daoist friend Qin is by no means a thing in the pond, and will definitely soar into the sky in the future."
He cupped his fists and bowed. "Fellow Daoist Qin, take care."
Qin Tiexin cupped his fists in return, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, would you like to come Flowing Cloud Sect?"
This was said a bit suddenly, but Qin Tiexin is serious. Although Liu Qing is also Five Spirit Roots, he has solid cultivation, superb skills, and good character. He has other adventures in the secret realm. If he enters Flowing Cloud Sect, he will definitely be able to accomplish something.
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thank you, Daoyou Qin, for your kindness. It's just that Liu is used to being free and undisciplined, and cannot stand the constraints of the sect."
He paused, a trace of complicated emotions flashed deep in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. "Besides... I still have some private matters to deal with, so it's inconvenient for me to join the sect."
Qin Tiexin nodded and said no more.
Liu Qing glanced at him one last time, turned and walked towards the light door. Before stepping into the light door, he turned back, nodded to Qin Tiexin, and then disappeared in the light.
Outside the light gate, the mountain forest at the entrance to the ruins.
Liu Qing stepped out of the light door and immediately felt several Divine Sense sweep over him. His expression remained unchanged, and he walked straight towards the depths of the mountain forest without stopping.
After walking about a hundred feet, he turned into a hidden mountain col.
After confirming that no one was around, Liu Qing took out a light yellow talisman from Storage Bag and stuck it to his chest. The talisman turned into a stream of light and blended into his body, and his appearance began to change - his stature was slightly shorter by half an inch, his face became rounder, his eyebrows and eyes were adjusted in detail, and even his breath became blurred.
In just three breaths, he turned into a completely unfamiliar Rogue Cultivator.
After doing this, Liu Qing spoke in a low voice, "Master, where should we go next?"
In the ring on the chest, an old voice slowly sounded, "First find a hidden place Foundation Establishment. You have basically gathered the materials now. After you finish refining Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully Foundation Establishment, your strength will make a qualitative leap."
"Then what?"
"Then... look for a Spirit Fire for alchemy." The old voice paused, "A suitable Spirit Fire can increase the efficiency of alchemy several times. I just know the clues of a Spirit Fire. At that time, you can start trying to refine [Five Elements Return to Origin Pill]."
Liu Qing nodded, and finally looked back in the direction of the entrance to the ruins.
The light door still stood, and monks were walking out one after another. He could not see the figure of Qin Tiexin, but he could still think of the burly figure who was silent but always stood up at critical moments.
"Master," Liu Qing suddenly asked, "What do you think of Daoist Fellow Qin... this person?"
There was silence in the ring for a moment.
"That boy..." the old voice said slowly, "Although he is Five Spirit Roots, he is Body Refining solid, with a tenacious will, and good luck. If he doesn't die, Nascent Soul can be expected."
Nascent Soul.
Liu Qing took a deep breath, a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes, and then turned into determination.
He turned around and swept deep into the forest like the wind, quickly disappearing.
Inside the ruins, on the square.
Qin Tiexin stood there, looking at the light door.
Everyone else in the Flowing Cloud Sect has gone out, leaving him alone. Xu Qiu and Li Yun are waiting for him outside the door.
He closed his eyes and communicated with Divine Sense to the Primordial Unity Sect Master Token in his arms.
There was a faint tremor from the token, and the outline of the entire ruins emerged in his mind again - Five Domains Square, the peripheral forest, the core hall, the second alchemy room... everything was extremely clear. Except for him, there was no one else in the ruins.
Qin Tiexin took one step forward, and his thoughts moved slightly.
The light gate in the center of the square trembled slightly, then began to shrink, dim, and finally turned into a little white light and disappeared completely.
The exit to the ruins is closed.
As for the ruins themselves... Qin Tiexin didn't try to take it away. He knew that it was a crime to have a jade. If a complete High Antiquity ruins with rich resources were known to be in the hands of a Qi Refining Fifth Layer monk, it would only lead to endless pursuit.
If the strength is not enough, fortuitous opportunity will become a reminder of death.
Everyone watched as the ruins disappeared little by little until it was opened next time.
Outside the ruins, the leaders of each sect were waiting anxiously.
Golden Sun Sect An elder from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage came, and Duan Xuan came forward to report the situation. After hearing this, the elder looked solemn, and then looked at Qin Tiexin, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
He strode over, took out a jade box from Storage Bag, and handed it to Qin Tiexin with both hands. "Little friend Qin, thank you for saving my Golden Sun Sect disciple. This is a token of gratitude, please be sure to accept it."
The jade box was opened, and inside was a pill the size of a dragon's eye, completely translucent white, exuding gentle and majestic spiritual power fluctuations.
Foundation Establishment Pill.
The monks around him all looked over, with different expressions in their eyes.
Qin Tiexin did not refuse, took the jade box, clasped his fists. "Thank you, senior."
The elder nodded, said a few more polite words, and then left with the Golden Sun Sect everyone.
Azure Rosy Cloud Sect, White Cloud Monastery and other sect elders also came over one after another, expressed their gratitude to Qin Tiexin, and gave some Spirit Stone or elixirs. Qin Tiexin returned the favor one by one, with an attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing.
Xu Qiu and others were almost done with it before they came over and said, "Junior Brother Qin, it's time for us to go back."
Flowing Cloud Sect Everyone gathered.
There were eight people when they came, six when they returned, and two bodies.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, but more importantly, there was an urgency to return to the clan.
On the way back.
Qin Tiexin Sitting in Lingzhou's room, he finally had time to explore his gains.
Elixir categories:
There are two pieces of Foundation Establishment Pill. One was a gift from the Golden Sun Sect, which is of excellent quality; the other was found from Cao Mu Storage Bag, which is of lower quality, but is enough for use.
Three complete sets of Foundation Establishment Pill refining materials. The main drugs and auxiliary drugs are complete and well preserved, and there are some extra medicinal materials.
Spirit Stone:
Lower-Grade Spirit Stone is more than two thousand one hundred. Most of it comes from Cao Mu's pile of Storage Bag, and the rest is a thank you gift from each sect.
Law Artifact:
Middle-Grade Law Artifact Green Wood Bow One handle. The bow's spirituality has slightly declined, but it can be restored after Nourishment.
Middle-Grade Law Artifact Mysterious Earth Sword, and the Earth Marrow Flower - these two were obtained by Earth Domain and the five Rogue Cultivator. Now they have fallen into the hands of Cao Mu, and then passed to the hands of Qin Tiexin.
Material:
All the results from the five domain assessments are here.
The five top spiritual materials and the five-color stone obtained in the vessel room were also safe and sound.
Others:
Cao Mu Storage Bag only glanced at the few poison scriptures, a large number of poisonous weeds and poisonous insect specimens, and refined poisons in Law Artifact. Qin Tiexin, and stopped looking at them - these things were too sinister, and he planned to give them to Senior Brother Chen Xi to deal with when he returned.
After the inventory is completed, Qin Tiexin takes back Divine Sense.
The harvest is indeed huge.
But he also knew that luck played a big part in being able to come back alive this time. Several times, he was truly caught in a life-and-death crisis - the ambush of Poison Cultivator, the fight of Gravity Corridor, the decisive kill of Sword Gang Talisman...
If every link goes slightly wrong, he might be the one lying on the ground now.
Qin Tiexin Take a deep breath.
From now on, we should visit less secret places like this.
Although the rewards are tempting, the risks are too great. The road to immortality ultimately depends on steady and steady practice. Strength is the last word, and foreign objects fortuitous opportunity can only add icing on the cake and cannot put the cart before the horse.
One day later, Flowing Cloud Sect Mountain Gate is in sight.
Only when they saw the familiar light curtain of the mountain-protecting formation and the disciples patrolling at the mountain gate did everyone who had been tense along the way really relax.
Xu Qiu stopped at the mountain gate square, turned around and looked at everyone, with a gentle voice. "Junior brothers and sisters, this trip has been hard. Please go back to your respective peaks to rest. I will report the follow-up matters to the sect."
Everyone saluted.
Several fellow inner disciple walked up to Qin Tiexin and solemnly clasped their fists.
"Junior Brother Qin, thank you very much."
"If you need anything in the future, just ask."
Qin Tiexin responded one by one, "Brothers, you are welcome."
Everyone dispersed one after another, heading towards their respective mountain peaks.
Li Yun is left at the end.
She looked at Qin Tiexin and moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something. But she hesitated for a moment, and finally just whispered, "Junior Brother Qin... Thank you very much."
After saying that, she turned around and walked in the direction of Pill Peak. After walking a few steps, she looked back and then really left.
Qin Tiexin stood there, watching her retreating back, silent for a moment.
The mountain breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of early summer vegetation and a hint of peace of mind about returning to the clan.
He turned around and walked in the direction of Luo Ling Peak.
The trip to the ruins is over, but the road to immortality continues.
