The Secret Written on Parchment

Then Tieguai Li's gaze immediately fell on the stone wall, where he discovered two thumb-sized red beads at the top of the wall, emitting incredibly rich Spiritual Qi.

"What is this?" Upon seeing this, Han Xiangzi's face also showed excitement. This bead was clearly extraordinary.

"Could this be the legendary Immortal Crystal?! No way? Could there be some secret hidden inside?" Tieguai Li thought excitedly.

Legend has it that only Immortal Venerable possess such Immortal Crystal, and these Immortal Crystal can only be used by highly accomplished individuals in the Immortal Realm; other mortal beings simply cannot use them.

This thing is an extremely rare and precious treasure.

"Tieguai Li, put it away quickly! We'll talk about it later!" Just as Tieguai Li finished speaking, He Xiangu's voice rang in their ears.

"Alright!" Upon seeing He Xiangu's appearance, Tieguai Li nodded and then put the pill, which was radiating a rich Spiritual Qi, directly into his ring.

"Let's open this stone wall now!" Han Xiangzi said, seeing that Tieguai Li had already packed his things.

"Let's test the defense of this stone wall first!" After hearing Han Xiangzi's words, Tieguai Li nodded and then immediately began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Instruction within his body.

"Call!"

A gust of wind suddenly swept around Tieguai Li, and then Tieguai Li was lifted into the air, hovering directly above the stone wall. He didn't dare to be careless, so he bent his legs slightly and began to spin continuously.

"Boom!"

The moment Tieguai Li's feet touched the ground, the entire ground erupted with a deafening roar, and Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu were thrown backward.

"Tieguai Li, are you alright?" Upon seeing Tieguai Li's condition, Han Xiangzi hurriedly asked, a look of worry on his face.

"Don't worry, it's nothing!" Tieguai Li waved his hand with a smile. Just now, Tieguai Li did not use any Cultivation Method, but relied purely on his physical strength. Obviously, such a stone wall could not do anything to him.

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief. All of this stuff was on Tieguai Li; if anything happened to him, they would all be wiped out.

Han Xiangzi quickly tried it again.

"Hmm? Sure enough, although this place is a stone wall, its defense is extremely strong!" Soon, an excited expression appeared on his lips. Clearly, Han Xiangzi had discovered the secret of this stone wall and also realized its power.

"In that case, let's test the power of this stone wall!" Tieguai Li then said directly to Han Xiangzi.

"Alright!" Han Xiangzi nodded upon hearing this, then went directly to Tieguai Li, activated the True Qi within his body, and punched the stone wall.

Soon, their fists collided violently.

With a muffled thud, Tieguai Li was sent flying backward, but a look of joy flashed across Han Xiangzi's face.

Clearly, Han Xiangzi's attack this time was different from usual; instead, it was sharp and carried a chilling aura. The force of Tieguai Li's fist had obviously increased, reaching at least 50,000 jin.

"Haha! I finally understand!" Han Xiangzi then burst into wild laughter.

"Huh? You finally understand? You were clearly feigning weakness just now!" As soon as Han Xiangzi finished speaking, He Xiangu rolled her eyes. Obviously, she had known all along that Tieguai Li had deliberately feigned weakness to test her cultivation level.

"Ahem, I admit I was deliberately feigning weakness just now, but I didn't expect the stone gate's defense to be so strong. It not only blocked my attack, but also made me understand some of the patterns within it!" Tieguai Li said somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright, now that you understand, hurry up and take your things away!" Han Xiangzi said, somewhat speechless.

Han Xiangzi was too lazy to explain anymore, because he knew that even if he explained now, He Xiangu probably wouldn't believe him.

"Alright!" Tieguai Li nodded upon hearing this, then reached out and grabbed a jade pendant, beginning to frantically absorb the Spiritual Qi emanating from it.

"Call..."

"Pfft!"

Then Han Xiangzi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale. He had expended a lot of energy in the fight, but he felt incredibly satisfied.

"This place is indeed heavenly materials and earthly treasures!" Soon, Han Xiangzi found a jade box with a large character "Dan" written on it. This should be the stalagmites that Tieguai Li saw next to the stone wall.

After Tieguai Li reached out and opened the jade box, he found several purple pills inside, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"These pills are quite effective! Taking one pill might increase your combat power by 10%, and taking two more might allow you to break through to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer!" Han Xiangzi raised an eyebrow and put the jade bottle away.

Han Xiangzi brought two sets of armor with him to this cave. If the quality of these two sets of armor is good, his combat power will increase significantly.

"Huh? There's another note here!" Han Xiangzi suddenly noticed a parchment on the floor. Han Xiangzi frowned, bent down, and picked it up. There was only one sentence on the parchment.

"Little one, if you want to leave, find the guardian beasts here! They are the most terrifying beings here! Just do as I teach you, and I will appear to help you!" There were only a few words on the parchment, but they contained a mysterious power that made Han Xiangzi feel a sense of awe.

"It seems that some mysterious power is hidden in this place!" Han Xiangzi thought to himself.

After examining the parchment in his hand, Tieguai Li handed it directly to He Xiangu, saying, "This is a secret of this place. I think we should stay here for now and see what's hidden here! We'll leave after all the mechanisms are activated!"

Hearing Han Xiangzi's words, He Xiangu was slightly taken aback, but still nodded and said, "Okay, let's continue forward!"
