Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, Setting a Trap
Su Yuxuan's eyes gleamed as she intently observed the formation before her, her hands moving rapidly as she devised a way to break it.
Fifteen minutes later, a confident smile appeared on her face, and she said:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I have found a way to break the formation. Behold my methods."
Before she finished speaking, she quickly formed hand seals and made hand Hand Seals, instantly condensing four Sword Qi around her, which accurately struck the four directions of the formation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After four loud bangs, the array in front of them vanished, revealing a spacious stone chamber.
The room contained only a stone table, four stone chairs, and a stone bed; nothing else.
Bai Qianqian glanced at Su Yuxuan with slight surprise. She hadn't expected that the other party, who was only at the Golden Core Realm, could break this formation. Her mastery of formations was truly remarkable.
The two entered the stone chamber and searched it carefully, but the chamber was empty and they found no treasures.
Looking at the scene before her, Su Yuxuan found it hard to accept and murmured to herself:
"How could there be no treasure? Could it be that Zhu Yizhou snatched the fortuitous opportunity first?"
No... if the fortuitous opportunity has already been taken, the outer formation wouldn't still be there.
But why is this stone chamber empty? Could we have come to the wrong place?
She tried moving the stone table and chairs, and even carefully examined the stone bed, but still found nothing; she couldn't find any trace of the treasure.
She could only say helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Bai, it seems there are indeed no treasures in this stone chamber. Perhaps we have come to the wrong place."
"Why don't we go look in other parts of Azure Sky Mountain? Maybe we can find the true cave abode of a Void Return Realm expert."
"Fellow Daoist Su, we're sure we haven't come to the wrong place. There must be treasure here, but it's been hidden."
Bai Qianqian reached out and tapped the stone wall in front of her, then gently clapped four times against it.
With a "crack," the stone wall slid open automatically, revealing a cave.
Su Yuxuan stared at the cave that had appeared before her and fell silent for a moment.
No wonder that even though his skill in formations wasn't bad in his previous life, and he had entered many cave abode or tombs left behind by powerful figures, he hadn't found many treasures.
It turns out I really don't have much talent when it comes to treasure hunting.
If it weren't for Bai Qianqian today, we would probably have missed this fortuitous opportunity again.
The two carefully examined the cave and, after confirming that there were no other traps or mechanisms, stepped inside.
Before long, they reached the end, where they saw a three-meter-wide pool filled with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid.
A drop of spiritual liquid still hangs on the stalactite above the pool, as if about to fall.
"Hiss! It's actually a pool of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid!" Su Yuxuan surprised and delighted.
"This is the essence of heaven and earth condensed from the mountains and rivers; it can be used as energy for cultivation and to refine the physical body. It is a supreme treasure."
She instantly understood that Zhu Yizhou's rapid breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm must have been due to this fortuitous opportunity.
But then she felt uneasy. What if Bai Qianqian swallowed the spiritual liquid all by herself, or even tried to kill her?
Although I knew from my past life that she was a good person, no one can say for sure when faced with such a precious treasure.
Moreover, the Bai Qianqian before him was so different from the cold-faced killing goddess in his memory that it was hard to be completely at ease.
Bai Qianqian looked at the spiritual liquid in the pool, her eyes gleaming, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
These Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid can not only be used for personal cultivation, but can also be sold to the store for Energy Points.
As for murder and robbery, she never even considered it, nor would she stoop to such a thing.
Liu Yi once told her that cultivation is about cultivating the mind, and it's best not to do things against one's conscience, otherwise it's easy to develop inner demons and hinder cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Su, how about I take two-thirds of this pool of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, and you take one-third?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
"Sure, I have no objection. The discovery of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid this time is mainly thanks to Fellow Daoist Bai."
After seeing that Su Yuxuan had no objections, Bai Qianqian took out a jade bottle, formed hand Hand Seals, and stored two-thirds of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid into her Law Treasure.
Su Yuxuan took out the bronze pot, formed hand seals, released spiritual light, and collected all the remaining Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid.
After doing all this, a sense of pride welled up inside her; she had finally snatched the fortuitous opportunity from Zhu Yizhou.
With this shift in balance, without the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, his progress in breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm will definitely slow down, while his own cultivation will advance even faster.
This time, I was very grateful to Bai Qianqian. If it weren't for her, I probably would never have had this fortuitous opportunity.
Moreover, the fact that the other party showed no intention of seizing such a treasure demonstrates their truly admirable character.
On second thought, he realized he happened to know of three other places with formidable fortuitous opportunity suitable for cultivators at the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm stages to explore.
Why not invite Bai Qianqian to go together? Perhaps we can really find the treasure.
Thinking of this, she smiled and looked at Bai Qianqian, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I also know of three other cave abode left behind by powerful figures. Would you be interested in exploring them together?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian's eyes lit up immediately. It was because she had believed Su Yuxuan's words that she was able to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid.
Upon hearing that there were still three cave abode left behind by powerful individuals, she immediately became interested and quickly replied:
"I am naturally interested in the three cave abode left behind by powerful figures that Fellow Daoist Su mentioned."
Su Yuxuan's face lit up with joy when she saw Bai Qianqian agree.
With Bai Qianqian's help, the chances of seizing the fortuitous opportunity are undoubtedly much greater.
After all, she had just witnessed the power of this Child of Fortune; he found the cave abode in just a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, please wait a moment while I set things up here."
After saying that, she walked to the edge of the pool and wrote on the stone wall, "Your Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid has been taken by me. You're welcome."
Then they set up an array to erase any trace of anyone's presence and restored the stone walls leading into the cave to their original state.
She then busied herself setting up an array in the stone chamber.
They then set up an array in the cave passage to erase any traces, and finally restored the stone wall at the entrance of the cave abode.
After doing all this, a smug smile appeared on her face.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Bai Qianqian's strange gaze and coughed awkwardly.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, the main reason I set up these formations is to prevent others from discovering the Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid here, so I can collect it later."
Bai Qianqian was speechless when she heard her explanation. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid needed to be accumulated again, and she didn't know how long it would take.
Moreover, Su Yuxuan's formations are clearly designed to attack people.
What's even stranger is that she seemed certain someone would come in next, as if she was deliberately trying to trick them.
However, Bai Qianqian didn't point it out. Anyway, these formations couldn't hurt her, so she couldn't be bothered to care.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Su, please proceed with your arrangements. I have no objections."
Seeing Bai Qianqian's expression that said, "You're right, but I don't believe you," Su Yuxuan couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
She knew that this explanation wouldn't fool the other party, so she simply stopped explaining.
Anyway, Bai Qianqian can think whatever she wants, as long as she can trick Zhu Yizhou.
These formations are obviously not enough to kill Zhu Yizhou, but they have a good chance of injuring him or making him feel uncomfortable.
In fact, she also wanted to set up some more powerful formations, but her current cultivation level was insufficient, time was short, and she lacked the necessary materials, so she simply couldn't do it.
Of course, most importantly, Zhu Yizhou wasn't stupid; how could such an obvious formation easily harm him?
The array she set up this time, the ones on the surface, were not meant to harm him anyway; the real killing move was a hidden attack array.
Once those attack formations are triggered, they won't kill him, but they'll be enough to make him suffer and annoy him.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, let's go find another cave abode."
After saying that, she rode her sword straight off into the distance.
Bai Qianqian leaped up and quickly followed.
