Chapter 274: A Strange Coincidence
When Xiao Mian opened his eyes again, what he saw was a quiet and peaceful world.
The sky is blue, the breeze is white and the clouds are white; the ground is dark yellow and the black soil is vast; there are mountains in the distance, and there are mountains and hills; there is water nearby, winding and winding; eagles strike in the sky, and fish fly in the shallows. It is clearly a paradise that is worthy of the name. , Xiao Mian was stunned.
Although Xiao Mian had been mentally prepared before, the sight he saw now was still beyond his expectation. After all, he had entered the Lingchuan several times. Compared with the interior of the Lingchuan, it was a bit dull and lifeless. Man-made space, this cave inside the Golden City can be regarded as another miraculous work of nature.
At this moment, Dan Qiusheng walked slowly in front of Xiao Mian. Without saying a word, he just glanced at Xiao Mian and walked forward. Xiao Mian naturally followed suit.
Not long after walking, the two of them came to a magnificent palace one after another. Looking up, Xiao Mian saw a plaque hanging directly above the palace, but Xiao Mian couldn't read clearly what was written on the plaque even if he had enough eyesight. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking Xiao Mian's sight, making it impossible for him to look directly.
"Don't be rude!" After calmly stopping Xiao Mian's actions, Dan Qiu Sheng straightened his clothes, then bowed towards the empty golden palace, and then said respectfully: "Junior, the Thirty-Sixth of the Five Elements Sect Master Ren, Dan Qiusheng, pays his respects to the senior!"
Dan Qiusheng's words became more and more grand and clear in the silent space, and Xiao Mian was even more shocked.
You must know that Dan Qiusheng has now ascended the throne of the leader of the Five Elements Sect. Although there are some seniors in the Five Elements Sect who are higher than Dan Qiusheng, their cultivation is low, and Dan Qiusheng treats them with great courtesy. But not in awe.
In addition, Dan Qiusheng himself has advanced to the Yuanying level, and even famous ancestors such as Shusheng and Qingqiuzi who are in the middle level of the Yuanying dare not underestimate him too much. In terms of identity, status, and cultivation, Dan Qiusheng can be said to have already Standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world in Nanyue State.
So who is it that can bear such a great gift from Dan Qiusheng?
Is it possible that there is a senior master of the Five Elements Sect hidden in this cave-heaven magic weapon?
The next moment, Dan Qiusheng secretly transmitted the message and cleared Xiao Mian's suspicion.
"Don't be rude, kid! Although the Cave Heaven Magic Treasure here is only a top-level magic weapon, a group of spiritual objects has been bred inside it. If it can successfully survive the thunder tribulation, it can become a weapon spirit comparable to the Nascent Soul cultivator. At that time, this cave-heaven magic weapon can be successfully upgraded to a spiritual treasure and become the number one treasure of my Five Elements Sect!"
Xiao Mian didn't react to Dan Qiusheng's words for a long time.
The top-level cave-heaven magic weapon?
Giving birth to spiritual objects?
A weapon spirit comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator?
The first treasure of the Five Elements Sect?
Overcome the tribulation and become a spiritual treasure?
Xiao Mian never thought that the spiritual treasure that only appeared in legends would one day interact with him - even though Golden City has not yet become a spiritual treasure.
However, before Xiao Mian could come to his senses, after Dan Qiusheng saluted loudly, the originally empty golden palace gate flashed with brilliance, as if in response to Dan Qiusheng.
The golden light flickered several times, and finally disappeared into nothingness. A golden vortex appeared at the gate of the Golden Palace.
It turns out that this is the real entrance to the Golden Palace!
"If someone had just forced his way into the Golden Palace gate without waiting for the ignorant weapon spirit to respond, even the Yuan Ying Ancestor would have suffered a lot!" He signaled Xiao Mian to follow him into the golden vortex, and he was in a good mood. Dan Qiusheng explained in a low voice: "The originally opened door is just an illusion. It is an illusory formation connected to the entire mountain-protecting formation. If you enter rashly, you will be fighting against the entire formation!"
Xiao Mian was horrified when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Not long after, the two of them arrived inside the Golden Palace.
The Golden Palace looks splendid on the outside, but is extremely simple and even a little shabby on the inside. The entire hall is a square space with a length and width of a hundred feet each, and a height of ten feet.
Thousands of various utensils are piled randomly in the open space of the main hall. Some are piled up like a mountain, with no edge visible; some are scattered in twos and threes; some are even thrown on the ground alone, as if they were thrown into the ground. The rags abandoned by people; of course, the most numerous ones are small piles of classified spiritual materials, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and the like.
Looking at the main hall that looked like a vegetable market, Xiao Mian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Today's Xiao Mian is no longer the young boy he once was. He has seen the secret vault of Zhenzong Hall in Lingchuanfang City and the treasure cave of Master Yuanyuan. He naturally knows the quality of everything in this hall. I'm afraid they won't be any worse than the things stored in the first two.
But you know, which utensil should you choose?
Because according to the agreement between Xiao Mian and Dan Qiusheng that night, if Xiao Mian defeated Lu Chengzhi, he could and could only take away one artifact from the hall!
"Haha..., indeed!"
Luxu chuckled. Dan Qiusheng seemed to be in a good mood since entering the Golden City. Seeing Xiao Mian's expression of not knowing where to start, Dan Qiusheng was even more in a good mood.
"The sect records that the things hidden in this golden palace are all the blessings left by the predecessors of the Five Elements Sect in the past ten thousand years. However, in addition to the large amount of cultivation resources sorted and classified by the sect, the really good things are actually hidden in the palace. Among the scattered objects. But in this golden palace, even my consciousness cannot be released. Xiao Mian, whether you can find suitable objects depends entirely on your own vision and luck! "
snort!
This old fox clearly knew what was going on in the Golden Palace!
Although he was angry, what Dan Qiusheng said was not wrong. Xiao Mian calculated that he and Dan Qiusheng had been in the Golden City for some time. He couldn't ask a scholar of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to wait all night, right?
Under Dan Qiusheng's amused gaze, Xiao Mian had to bite the bullet and start looking for something suitable for him in the vast pile of miscellaneous items. But because Dan Qiusheng was beside him, Guitou never dared to act rashly, otherwise, if the old guy took a glance, wouldn't it be a great success?
Fortunately, Dan Qiusheng also mentioned that the truly high-quality artifacts were scattered, which greatly narrowed Xiao Mian's scope of curiosity.
The third-level Earth Spirit Sky;
The fourth-level Ice Crystal Cold Jade;
The fifth-level Flame Fire Thunder Bead;
...
During the search, Xiao Mian found that no matter the grade of the artifacts in the hall, every one of them was well preserved. According to Dan Qiusheng, many of them had been around for tens of thousands of years. I think it was because of the extremely sophisticated soul-sealing formation engraved in the hall.
After a quick glance, Xiao Mian came to a conclusion that made him laugh and cry: the highest grade of all the artifacts he knew was only level five, which was not much, but not few either; but according to Xiao Mian's understanding of the Five Elements Sect, although the spiritual objects of level five were not bad, they could never be the most precious artifacts in the Five Elements Sect; in other words, the real treasures were still among those things that Xiao Mian did not know.
After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Mian felt that he had power but nowhere to use it.
At this moment, a thought suddenly came to his mind.
That thought appeared directly in Xiao Mian's soul. At first, Xiao Mian thought that the ghost head had finally sent him some message, but after a careful experience, he found that the thought was not sent by the ghost head, but seemed to be generated by Xiao Mian himself, but Xiao Mian was unaware of it.
Suspicious, Xiao Mian found that the focus of the thought was actually a broken needle under his feet - the broken needle was black and inconspicuous. Although Xiao Mian had seen it before, he had never taken it to heart, and he did not expect to have a thought.
Could it be that this broken needle is some kind of heavenly treasure?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian bent down to pick up the broken needle, held it in his hand and examined it carefully, but in the end he found nothing - this broken needle is simply very ordinary!
But he thought again, how could there be ordinary things in the Golden City, the highest-standard secret library of the Five Elements Sect, one of the three major sects in Nanyue Province and a ten-thousand-year-old sect?
Although Dan Qiusheng once said that even as a Yuanying ancestor, he could not release his own consciousness in the Golden Palace, but Xiao Mian still could not detect its abnormality when he touched the broken needle with his own hands, which can only mean that the grade of this broken needle must be above the fifth grade.
There is another saying in the cultivation world, that is, to regard low-level magic tools as first-level tools, and by analogy, low-level magic tools are fifth-level tools.
In other words, this broken needle is very likely to be a magic tool, and its grade is not low!
Could it be that I am really blessed and a blind cat encounters a dead mouse?
But at this moment, Dan Qiusheng, who was watching Xiao Mian's behavior, had come forward. Seeing the broken needle in Xiao Mian's hand, he didn't do anything at first, but soon, the head of the Five Elements Sect changed his face slightly, as if he remembered something, and then snatched it away.
Xiao Mian's face changed, but seeing that Dan Qiusheng didn't even look at him, but just stared at the broken needle, Xiao Mian knew that something was wrong.
Although Dan Qiusheng couldn't release his spiritual sense freely because of the existence of the Golden Palace's prohibition, it didn't mean that Dan Qiusheng couldn't use his spiritual sense.
When holding the object in his hand like now, Dan Qiusheng can still use his spiritual sense to scan the object through direct contact, and Dan Qiusheng is doing so at this time.
But as time went by, Dan Qiusheng, who usually didn't change his face when facing a landslide, not only didn't look relaxed, but became more solemn.
This made Xiao Mian surprised and happy.
The thing that made Dan Qiusheng, who had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, so serious about it, even if the cut-off needle was not a magic weapon, it must be a mysterious instrument with a great origin, right?
While coming to this conclusion, Xiao Mian still had a mystery in his mind - where did the strange thought just now come from?
