Chapter 210: First Exploration of the Secret Vault
The moon is dark and the wind is high, not only when people are killed and set on fire, but also when they steal chickens and dogs.
On the night of returning to the Five Elements Gate, Xiao Mian couldn't wait to rush to a small valley on the west side of Jinxiao Peak.
According to the news that the ghost head got from the soul of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, Yuan Yuan Zhenren originally transferred most of the artifacts in the secret vault of Jin Xiao Peak to this small valley, and he was afraid that if he had a case, Lu Chengzhi could still rely on these artifacts to make a comeback.
It's just that now that Lu Chengzhi has been driven out of the Five Elements Gate and has become a guest of honor in the Demon Shadow Sect, Xiao Mian is responsible for these artifacts that were moved out of the secret vault of Jin Xiao Peak.
As far as Xiao Mian knows, in the secret vault of the Five Elements Gate and the Five Veins, each has its own merits.
Most of the secret vaults of the Fire Vein Yan Pillar Peak are consumables such as fire thunder beads and talismans; the secret vault of the Bibo Pond of the Water Vein is mostly defensive magic weapons; most of the secret vaults of the Wood Vein Changchun Peak are of the genus of pills; and most of the secret vaults of the Golden Vein and Jinxiao Peak are offensive magic weapons, most of which are flying swords; as for the secret vault of the earth vein thick earth flat is the secret vault of the highest level of the sect, the things inside cover a wide range, I am afraid that there are all kinds of utensils, and the quality is by no means comparable to the other four veins.
For ordinary flying swords, Xiao Mian didn't care, after all, even if it was a top-level magic weapon flying sword with good quality, it might not be able to catch up with his Xuanfeng sword.
However, from the memory of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, Xiao Mian learned that there was originally a ball of "exquisite golden silk" with a grade as high as the seventh order hidden in the secret vault of Jin Xiao Peak, which was obtained by the predecessors and sages of Jin Xiao Peak's lineage by chance, but he couldn't find a suitable refiner and never used it.
If nothing else, it is expected that this thing has been privately swallowed by Yuan Yuan Zhenren and placed in the small valley.
The exquisite gold wire itself is not as extremely sharp as the Nine Heavens Xuanjin, its physical properties are very special, and the biggest use is to combine various spiritual materials into one, and it is a good fusion agent when refining flying swords.
The reason why Xiao Mian wanted to get this exquisite golden silk was naturally to prepare for his flying sword that had not yet been born.
A few days ago, Xiao Mian got the Heavenly Falling Fire Spirit Crystal separated by the ghost head, because of the relationship between the Milky Way Star Sand, the grade declined, and it was called the Heavenly Falling Star Crystal by Xiao Mian, if you add exquisite gold silk, half of his new flying sword will be in hand.
Of course, even if it wasn't for this exquisite golden silk, Xiao Mian also planned to explore this nameless valley, maybe there was a treasure that Yuan Yuan Zhenren missed!
It's just that the entire Xiaogu has been turned over, and Xiao Mian has not found the entrance to the phantom array in the memory of Yuan Yuan Zhenren - Yuan Yuan Zhenren transferred the treasures in the secret vault of Jin Xiaofeng here, naturally it will not be unarranged, and the soul of Yuan Yuan Zhenren was incomplete at the beginning, and after being devoured by the ghost head, it was even more incomplete, so that Xiao Mian only knew that there was a phantom array in the small valley to cover it, but he did not find the entrance and flaws of the phantom array.
"Ghost Elder, what have you discovered?"
Since the ghost head claimed to be a formation master, Xiao Mian, who had nothing to gain, naturally would not ignore its existence.
The ghost head emerged from Xiao Mian's body, shook his head and stretched his head, and then he shook his nose and looked around.
On a dark moonlit night, Xiao Gu is like a dark domain, but it has no effect on the ghost head that uses soul thoughts to perceive.
After a moment of silence, the ghost leader led Xiao Mian to a boulder and motioned for Xiao Mian to smash it.
This is naturally not difficult for Xiao Mian, after the boulder collapsed, a formation disk was revealed, and just when Xiao Mian was happy, the ghost head said: "Don't be too happy!"
"What's the matter?
"No! The phantom array arranged in this small valley is quite clever, and it is conservatively estimated that it is not below the fifth order, and even my soul mind cannot see the flaws in a short period of time. However, it is precisely because of the desire to strive for perfection that the scope of the phantom array covers the entire Xiaogu, and if you want to run such a large phantom array for a long time, it is necessary to have a spirit gathering array to provide energy for the phantom array!" Saying this, the ghost head pointed to the array disk in Xiao Mian's hand and explained: "This is the array disk of the Spirit Gathering Array, and there is more than one, there are a total of nine in Xiaogu!"
After that, under the guidance of the ghost head one by one, Xiao Mian took out all the other eight Spirit Gathering Array Disks and put them in the storage bag.
The grade of these nine Spirit Gathering Arrays is not low, and they may be of some use in the future.
They are arranged in a ninety-nine to one pattern in the small valley, providing psionic power for the phantom array that covers the entire small valley. After clearing the nine Spirit Gathering Arrays, Xiao Mian quietly withdrew from Xiaogu, left here, and returned to Bibo Pond.
According to the ghost head's instructions, taking away the nine Spirit Gathering Arrays will not immediately affect the phantom array in Xiao Gu, so it is better to leave than to wait stupidly.
Seven days later, on a moonlit night, without wind, Xiao Mian returned to Xiaogu.
As soon as he entered the small valley, the ghost head suddenly rushed out of Xiao Mian's body, floating around in the small valley, and then came to a huge ancient tree, and stopped moving.
"The entrance to the phantom array is here?"
"You can't go wrong, you might as well feel it yourself. ”
Xiao Mian calmed down when he heard this, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of the aura in the air, and sure enough, he sensed that the slightest aura was emanating from the ancient tree.
After that, under the guidance of the ghost head, Xiao Mian dug out a nine-pointed square disc from the root of the ancient tree, and as soon as the array disk was opened, there was a fluctuation in the small valley, although the scene did not change greatly, but there were many changes in the subtleties, especially the ancient tree, a black tree hole appeared on the thick trunk, like a giant mouth of a demon beast that chose people to devour.
"It's underground!"
Feeling the good intentions of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, Xiao Mian flew into the tree hole, and sure enough, he went straight to the ground, and flew down a thousand feet, and Xiao Mian was down-to-earth.
As soon as Xiao Mian's feet stepped on the ground, two rows of flames suddenly burst out of the cave that was originally as dark as night, swaying in the wind, like ghost fires. Looking around through these two rows of flames, there is a tree hole above Xiao Mian coming down, and there is not much open space next to it, only a small path winds between the two rows of flames, leading to an unknown distance.
I thought it should be a natural cave here, but it was used by Yuan Yuan Zhenren.
Thinking so, Xiao Mian slowly walked forward under the light of the flickering flames.
At first, Xiao Mian's speed was not fast, but as time passed, he unconsciously began to fly with the sword, and he flew for an hour, traveling no less than thousands of miles.
Xiao Mian was secretly speechless, and after careful calculation, he had already left the area of the Five Elements Mountain, but he had not yet seen the so-called treasure cave of Yuan Yuan Zhenren.
Just as Xiao Mian was about to pause, the fire in front of him suddenly stopped, which shocked Xiao Mian and rushed forward.
At the end of the flames, there was another flat field, and above the clearing was still a black hole that went straight up and down, obviously for the purpose of connecting the ground, and on the wall of the cave at the end, there was a broken portal painted on the stone wall.
When Xiao Mian saw this, he knew that he had found a place.
In the memory of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, this portal painted on the stone wall is extremely clear, and this is the last portal to enter the treasure cave.
Taking a deep breath, converting the true qi in his body into metallic aura, Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall, and continuously transmitted the metallic aura in his body into it, as time passed, the broken portal lines drawn on the stone wall became clearer and clearer, and the portal on the stone wall became more and more complete, and when a golden light portal as high as Zhang Xu appeared on the stone wall, the true qi in Xiao Mian's body was only less than thirty percent.
In addition to being shocked, Xiao Mian was also quite touched by the good intentions of Yuan Yuan Zhenren.
You must know that Yuan Yuan Zhenren himself is a dual-attribute spiritual root of fire and wood, but the portal of the treasure cave here is set up so that the non-metallic aura cannot be opened, especially it can be seen that this treasure cave is clearly reserved for Lu Chengzhi, if it were not for Xiao Mian's Sanqing Guiyuan body to reverse the five elements and derive the metallic aura, I am afraid that only by inviting Yuan Infant Ancestors like Dan Qiusheng to come out of the horse can the portal be forcibly opened and enter the treasure cave by violent means.
At this time, Xiao Mian naturally did not have this trouble, seeing that the golden light of Zhangxu Jinmen was gradually fading, Xiao Mian knew that time was pressing, and he walked into the stone wall without caring about pranayama.
The stone wall, which was originally as hard as iron, sent out a ripple like a ripple when Xiao Mian stepped forward, enveloping Xiao Mian and swallowing it.
