As the light was very dim, he could not see what was in front of him clearly. As a result, Shi Ling directly opened his Floral Pupil, and in the end, Ouyang Yuqing, who was in front of Shi Ling, took out a fist-sized Moonstone from her Storage Ring.
The moment her mana was infused into the Moonstone, the entire passage was illuminated, as if a lamp which was as bright as day was suddenly opened in the dark room. At the same time, Ouyang Yuqing also said to Shi Ling behind her: "Give me that Soul Accumulating Stone."
This time, Shi Ling did not say anything, and directly handed the Soul Accumulating Pendant over to Ouyang Yuqing. After Ouyang Yuqing received it, she placed it flat on her palm. After quietly staring at it for a while, she saw that the Soul Accumulating Pendant seemed to have moved, as if there was an invisible gravitational force pulling it.
Ouyang Yuqing looked at the direction the Soul Accumulating Pendant was moving in and saw the end of the passage. After a slight hesitation, she said to Shi Ling behind her: "Let's go."
As she spoke, she walked forward and threw the Moonstone in her other hand into the air. It floated in the air and surrounded Ouyang Yuqing.
Shi Ling followed Ouyang Yuqing while paying attention to the surroundings. It seemed that the soundproofing effect of this place was too good, so the two of them could only hear their footsteps as they walked in the passage. For a moment, it seemed a bit strange.
At this time, Shi Ling's breathing and heart rate involuntarily quickened. This feeling was as if there was something very dangerous in front of him, forcing him to stop and stop.
However, Shi Ling's mind was set and he directly entered a state of mind. Immediately, a strand of long white hair was left behind on his forehead. After that, Shi Ling's anxiety and fear completely disappeared.
However, Ouyang Yuqing, who was in front of him, was not as lucky as Shi Ling as she was as she grasped the way to enter the mental state. At this moment, her breathing had sped up, and her small face was pale.
Seeing this, Shi Ling slightly frowned, and thought: "What the hell is this place, to actually make a half-step Bone Melting Stage expert like Ouyang Yuqing tremble, could it be that this is the tomb of some ancient almighty being?"
Thinking about this, Shi Ling suddenly said, "If you feel bad, then let's go back first."
Ouyang Yuqing, upon hearing Shi Ling's words, stopped her steps. At this moment, her breathing became heavier and heavier and her hand could not help but cover the side of the mountain wall. At this moment, her entire body was trembling and cold sweat was rolling down her face.
However, even though this was the case, Ouyang Yuqing still maintained a stubborn expression as she said, "I'm fine. I finally found this place. No matter what, I can't go back empty-handed."
Just as she was about to walk forward again, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shi Ling ran over. He didn't go to help Ouyang Yuqing up, but squatted beside her and said: "Um, um, you, are you okay?"
However, when she looked at Ouyang Yuqing's small face, she discovered that there was no longer any color on it, and the fear in her eyes was very obvious. At the same time, she stared blankly at Shi Ling and asked, "Why aren't you afraid?"
Obviously, Ouyang Yuqing had already seen the difference between Shi Ling and her. So, she felt strange. The two of them were clearly in the same environment, but why was it that only she was oppressed by that formless fear? And Shi Ling was not.
Shi Ling could only smile helplessly at this. He looked towards the end of the tunnel. At the moment, he still needed this woman to help him. If she stopped here, he might not be able to get any benefits.
Thinking of this, Shi Ling stretched out his hand. Ouyang Yuqing instinctively wanted to dodge the attack, but she did not have the strength to do so.
The moment Shi Ling's hand rested on Ouyang Yuqing's shoulder, an indescribable energy flowed into her body. The fear in her heart was instantly dispelled, and at the same time, a strand of white hair was left behind on the tip of her hair.
Shi Ling took a deep breath and retracted his hand. Then, he stood up and said: "Let's go."
With that, Shi Ling walked forward and picked up the Soul Accumulating Pendant that Ouyang Yuqing dropped when she fell. Then, he walked forward.
As for Ouyang Yuqing, after the fear in her heart was dispelled, she quickly recovered her strength. After she got up from the ground, she followed Shi Ling's footsteps. At the same time, she noticed that the strand of white hair at the end of her hair was exactly the same as the wisp of white hair on Shi Ling's forehead.
Ouyang Yuqing thought to herself, "What a powerful technique. It can actually dispel all distracting thoughts in one's heart and raise one's mental and physical strength. If I were to cultivate in this state, I would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort."
Thinking about this, Ouyang Yuqing's eyes narrowed. Now she finally understood why Shi Ling could have such a great increase in strength in such a short time. However, she only thought that she understood it herself.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the end of the passageway. It was a huge bronze door. From the rust on the door, one could tell that no one had touched the door for many years.
Shi Ling touched it and estimated that it was about 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide. However, he didn't know how tough it was. He didn't know if it would work with Shi Ling and Ouyang Yuqing's current abilities.
Ouyang Yuqing, on the other hand, walked over. She glanced at the door, then said, "This door is made of copper crystal gold, and it has been specially processed. It's extremely hard, and there's even a layer of carbon rock crystal powder on the surface. As he said that, he knocked on the door, heard the voice, and then said, "The thickness is about two feet, with our current cultivation, I'm afraid we are unable to penetrate it. So, we have to find the keyhole first!"
After hearing Ouyang Yuqing's logical analysis, Shi Ling was stunned. Then, he said with a little speechlessness, "Beauty, you aren't a Forging Master are you? You have such a deep understanding of metals, materials for various ores, and processing? "
Hearing that, Ouyang Yuqing smiled proudly and said, "As long as I can become the champion of the next blacksmith's competition, then hall master's position will be mine!"
This was because both the Forging Hall and Medicine Refinery Hall were the same, requiring her to be ranked first in the three consecutive competitions before she could become hall master. Since Ouyang Yuqing had said that she only needed to obtain the position of champion in one competition before she could become hall master of the Forging Hall, it meant that she had already won two consecutive competitions.
Thinking about that, Shi Ling couldn't help but click his tongue. No wonder she had so many weird things on her.
According to her experience as a Forging Master, she had found the clue very quickly. Thus, she squatted down right under the bronze door and used her hand to lightly knock on it, at the same time, her ear was very close to the bronze door. It was clear that she wanted to use this to tap the mechanism inside the bronze door to find out where the key was.
Shi Ling, on the other hand, was able to use the Floral Pupil's perspective to clearly see the scene inside the bronze door. What Ouyang Yuqing had hit was a gear chain inside the copper door mechanism, and she was currently following the gear chain to look for the mechanism at the top.
Shi Ling couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this. He immediately walked to the bronze door and pressed the mechanism at the end of the gear chain.
A cracking sound could be heard. The place Shi Ling pressed down to was like a brick sinking in. Then, the bronze door started to transform, as if it was a car.
When Ouyang Yuqing heard the voice, she jumped away in fright. However, when she saw the keyhole of the door appear in front of their eyes, Ouyang Yuqing was a little surprised. She said to Shi Ling, "How did you do that?"
Shi Ling shrugged and said, "Just press it."
Hearing this, Ouyang Yuqing rolled her eyes in annoyance. She immediately walked toward the opened keyhole. The keyhole was extremely large, and was around the size of a person's head.
Ouyang Yuqing immediately took out her Storage Ring, only to see the Storage Ring shooting out a red light ray and scanning the keyhole. After a while, Ouyang Yuqing retrieved the Storage Ring and took out a piece of white paper from the Storage Ring. Who knew, in the next moment, the scene inside the keyhole would appear on the white paper.
Shi Ling stared blankly at the scene, thinking, "There are so many different kinds of forgers. However, what makes Shi Ling even more surprised is that as Ouyang Yuqing's mana continuously changes, the blueprint can actually be folded into a new key based on the scanned keyhole. Although it's made out of paper, it still gives off a metallic feel.
At that moment, Ouyang Yuqing picked up the key that was as thick as a person's thigh and handed it to Shi Ling: "You have more strength. Open the lock."
Shi Ling didn't say anything after he heard this. He immediately received it. However, the moment he received it, he felt a heavy feeling coming from his hand. In his heart, he was cursing that this thing must be four to five hundred pounds heavy.
Fortunately, Shi Ling's physical strength had already reached the strength of fifty raging bulls, so he didn't have much of a problem. He simply inserted the key into the keyhole in one go, and soon after, the sound of gears moving could be heard.
Shi Ling immediately started to twist. Ouyang Yuqing then saw the bronze door in front of her start to lift up bit by bit. At the same time, she said to Shi Ling, "Raise it a little more."
Shi Ling cursed in his heart. Wanting to twist it was not an easy thing to do. If you have the ability, you can do it yourself.
However, Shi Ling was just cursing in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, he was a man. To let a woman do this kind of physical work, it was not very kind of him to do it.
Very quickly, the bronze door opened up a tunnel that could be used for one person. Seeing this, Ouyang Yuqing said, "Alright, it's done."
Only then did Shi Ling stop. Ouyang Yuqing walked towards the tunnel and said to Shi Ling, "Come in quickly."
As she spoke, she walked in. Shi Ling saw and quickly followed.
When the two of them passed through the tunnel, the scene that entered their sight immediately made them stupefied. This was because, at this moment, they could see that in the middle of this cave that looked like a cave, there was actually a Soul Accumulating Stone the size of a human.
When Shi Ling saw this, his Adam's apple couldn't help but twitch. He thought to himself, this really is a huge fortune.
If such a large Soul Accumulating Stone were to use Garden Pavilion to exchange for gold coins, it would at least amount to seventy to eighty million.
70 to 80 million gold coins! Think about it, how many cultivation resources could I buy, I think it would even be enough for cultivation resources before Life Soul Stage, and even if I do not exchange it for money, just using it to refine Soul Accumulating Pendant, then the amount of Soul Accumulating Pendant that I can store would probably exceed 10 thousand times the original amount!
Wouldn't I have an endless supply of Spiritual Source then?
Thinking of this, Shi Ling became even more excited. He immediately wanted to go forward and take it off, but Ouyang Yuqing pulled Shi Ling back and whispered: "Wait a moment."
When Shi Ling was pulled by Ouyang Yuqing, he immediately felt displeased. However, he was not a reckless person, especially after noticing the serious expression on Ouyang Yuqing's face, he immediately noticed that something was amiss. When he looked at the Soul Accumulating Stone, he said: "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Ouyang Yuqing pulled Shi Ling back a few steps and said, "This seems to be the base point of some kind of formation!"
As he said that, Shi Ling was surprised. The Floral Pupil slightly narrowed its eyes and sure enough, he saw a gigantic pattern that looked like some kind of ancient demon array. It was urging the energy within the Soul Accumulating Stone to constantly spread outwards.
After regaining his composure, Shi Ling began to think calmly. Previously, when he and Ji Wutian and the others passed this place, he had already noticed that there was something strange here, and now, when they entered the inner part, they already noticed that there was a Soul Accumulating Stone here. Also, Qian Hee said that the medium level monster tide would also appear in the vicinity of this mountain range not long ago.
Thinking this, Shi Ling muttered to himself: "Beast Upheaval?" Soul Accumulating Stone? Is there any connection between the two? "
Then, before Shi Ling could understand what was happening, Ouyang Yuqing's key suddenly broke and the gears on the bronze door started to turn with all their might. The tunnel behind Shi Ling and Ouyang Yuqing suddenly closed with a loud bang.
When Shi Ling and Ouyang Yuqing heard the sound, they were both shocked. When they arrived in front of the bronze door, they could no longer open it.
Shi Ling looked at the other section of the cave. At that place, there were numerous skeleton soldiers crawling towards them. When Shi Ling saw this, his pupils shrunk.
