As soon as the stone tablet was pulled out, there was a deep hole of several dozen feet below, with a mass of white stuff inside.
This thing resembled several sizes of Ganoderma lucidum, but it was flesh-white, and it seemed to be alive, wiggling a few times as the gaze looked over.
The spiritual power fluctuation that Zhang Ling sensed was emitted from this thing. "This is..." He frowned, thinking he had seen it wrong.
Upon closer inspection, a hint of joy appeared on his face. This fleshy mass, resembling Ganoderma, was indeed wriggling, but it did not possess the aura of a living being. The spiritual power on it was an indescribable mixture, with a faint fragrance.
He quickly waved his hand, took out a jade slip, and immersed his spiritual sense into it to examine it. After a moment, Zhang Ling chuckled softly, "If I haven't mistaken it, this is a special kind of spiritual medicine, commonly known as Blood Yuan Lingzhi. There is also a legend about this thing, which says it is the flesh and blood stripped from an extremely ancient divine beast,Sui."
This item is of extremely high value because it is a spiritual medicine that increases lifespan. Blood Yuan Lingzhi can be used to refine Longevity Pills.
Longevity Pills, as the name suggests, can be used to increase a cultivator's lifespan. Moreover, according to ancient books, directly consuming Blood Yuan Lingzhi can increase a cultivator's lifespan by at least sixty years.
Once refined into Longevity Pills, it can increase lifespan by about a hundred years. This is naturally a great temptation for cultivators.
With Zhang Ling's current knowledge, he knows that there are indeed still a few spiritual medicines that increase lifespan in the human world.
For example, in Liuyunhai(流云海: Liuyun Sea), it is rumored that someone picked Longevity Fruit in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
However, Longevity Fruit can only increase lifespan by about ten years, and there are several other lifespan spiritual medicines with similar effects.
But they cannot compare to the Blood Yuan Lingzhi in front of him, which can increase lifespan by at least sixty years.
With a thought, Zhang Ling gently stomped his foot, and a yellow light filled the ground. Immediately, the soil and rocks under his feet began to flow, and the pit in front of him expanded several times.
He walked down carefully, taking out two jade boxes at the same time, and also picking this spiritual medicine.
The Blood Yuan Lingzhi in front of him looked like several Ganoderma lucidum squeezed together, but it was actually only one. It was white and slightly wriggling, like a large meatball.
Touching it with his finger, it was still elastic, not like a spiritual medicine at all, but really like a mass of flesh and blood.
Yellow light flashed in Zhang Ling's hand, directly covering this Blood Yuan Lingzhi, intending to pick it together with the roots below.
But when he lifted his hand, his brow furrowed, and he didn't lift this spiritual medicine.
Although he was very careful, he had already used spiritual power, and even a boulder should have been lifted.
As this thought emerged in his mind, suddenly, the Blood Yuan Lingzhi wriggled violently, burrowing into the ground like a slippery earthworm.
Zhang Ling was anxious, increased the strength in his hand, and only heard a muffled sound of 'poof', the Blood Yuan Lingzhi was lifted by him and grabbed in his hand.
His divine sense noticed that there was still a mass of white wriggling stuff on the ground, like a tentacle shrinking into the soil and disappearing.
Looking at the Blood Yuan Lingzhi in his hand, it had no roots. It seemed to have been broken off by him.
Zhang Ling's face darkened, and he instantly put the Blood Yuan Lingzhi into the jade box, put it into the storage bag, and with a flash of yellow light, he cast the Earth Escape Technique into the ground without stopping.
He wanted to find the broken root part of the lower half, however, after a few breaths, he returned to the ground.
He had just gone deep into the ground for a hundred feet, but he didn't see the white fleshy whiskers that had shrunk in.
Zhang Ling took out the jade slip that he had just collected and organized to record strange medicines, and reviewed the introduction about Blood Yuan Lingzhi again.
Although the record of this medicine is relatively complete in terms of medicinal properties, and it is attached with the pill recipe of Shouyuan Dan(寿元丹: Longevity Pill), there is no introduction about how to pick and cultivate it.
It's not that the information he collected is incomplete, I'm afraid that few people have seen this kind of thing at all.
He still saw these messages occasionally in an ancient book recording ancient Qi medicines in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the sect, and felt a little novel, so he recorded them.
Other old monsters may not recognize this spiritual medicine when they see it.
However, the white fleshy whiskers that shrank in just now don't look like the roots of this spiritual medicine, could it be some kind of monster that is proficient in earth escape.
Zhang Ling thought in his heart and released his divine sense power again, instantly covering an area of more than ten miles nearby, and carefully checked it.
Suddenly, he sensed something again, and with a flick of his body, he arrived in front of a boulder a hundred feet away. This time, he didn't lift the boulder, but directly escaped into the ground.
After a while, with a bang, the boulder exploded, and Zhang Ling flew out of it. He grabbed another Blood Yuan Lingzhi in his hand.
This one is smaller than the one just now, and the same is that there are no root parts.
He carefully put away the Blood Yuan Lingzhi in his hand, and then cast the Earth Escape Technique to directly penetrate into the ground.
This time, he planned to sneak into the depths of the ground to see what was going on.
Before collecting this second spiritual herb just now, he carefully checked it. There was a white fleshy whisker similar to a root below, but it extended very long. I don't know if it is the root part.
Once the head of the Ganoderma lucidum is picked, the white fleshy whisker seems to be frightened and instantly shrinks back into the depths of the ground.
Time passed bit by bit. After a cup of tea, Zhang Ling estimated that he had traveled to a depth of three or four thousand feet underground, but he still did not see the white fleshy whisker.
On the contrary, he felt that the pressure of the surrounding soil and rocks was getting stronger and stronger. It was no longer simple soil and rocks, but became harder and more.
In this way, the Earth Escape Technique was also affected a lot.
After descending more than three thousand feet, the pressure of the surrounding soil and rocks increased several times, and his speed was reduced by more than half. If he went deeper, the Earth Escape Technique might also fail.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling felt his feet empty, and his eyes lit up. He appeared in an underground cave. He was stunned for a moment.
Traveling in the underground like this cave, I just encountered several places, all of which were dark and lightless. At this moment, this cave actually has light.
Releasing his divine sense, Zhang Ling found that this was a very large cave, and he could not detect the edge. It was at least hundreds of miles in size.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the light in the cave was emitted by strips of white stuff. It looked like white pillars.
Crisscrossing, I don't know how many roots, like a spider web, covering the cave.
But then his eyes lit up, and he found that these pillars were not pillars, nor were they luminous crystals, but those white fleshy whiskers.
Seeing so many white fleshy whiskers at once, Zhang Ling pursed his lips, feeling too strange, how could there be so many fleshy whiskers.
Could it be that every fleshy whisker can grow Blood Yuan Lingzhi, it's too incredible.
Zhang Ling was a little suspicious, whether he had misunderstood, whether the two fleshy balls that looked like Ganoderma lucidum that he had collected into the storage bag were Blood Yuan Lingzhi.
With a flick of his body, he shuttled between these fleshy whiskers, looking for the source of these fleshy whiskers.
I want to see what these fleshy whiskers are made of.
These fleshy whiskers are criss-crossed, at least there are thousands of them, but with a sweep of his divine sense, Zhang Ling still observed that the source is below this cave.
Going down in the cave, he will not be squeezed by soil and rocks. In the blink of an eye, he went down another thousand feet, and the light emitted by these fleshy whiskers became more and more intense, illuminating the surroundings.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling's eyes caught sight of a thick arm buried in a stone pillar below.
He immediately flew over there, and saw that it was a section of pale white arm, which looked like a human hand bone, but it was several circles larger than the human hand bone, and it also had sharp nails.
Zhang Ling raised his hand and shot out a ray of spiritual light, which submerged into the stone pillar. The stone pillar vibrated, and a piece of gravel fell down, and the skeleton was also pulled out by him.
Not only this section of arm, but also a complete skeleton behind it. At first glance, it is indeed not a human skeleton, but a white bone with a height of ten feet and a beast head. It looks more like the bones of an ape-like monster.
This skeleton seems to have existed for a long time, most of the bones are growing together with the stone pillar, and have been petrified.
Zhang Ling shook his head and continued to escape downward. But before long, he stopped his escape light again and saw a huge beast bone embedded in a stone wall. This beast bone was even more dilapidated.
Then he could still see at a glance that the original owner seemed to be a demon bird, and the broken bones were thirty to forty feet in size.
However, it is also old and has been integrated with the soil and stone, and there is no value.
All the way down, I saw more bones. There are huge animal bones, and there are strange shapes, and I can't tell what kind of creature's bones are.
There are also human bones, but the number is not large. Zhang Ling only saw a few.
He thought that this cave was formed naturally, but now it seems that it is not natural. It may be another ancient cultivator ruins.
This gave Zhang Ling a sense of unease. The most important thing is to find a way out, not to explore any ancient cultivator ruins.
If their previous speculation is correct, this is an independent space, then the possible exit is probably a space crack.
Space cracks are not only on the ground, but also in the sky. Every location in the entire space may exist, and the underground is naturally no exception.
So this strange place still needs to be investigated clearly.
For safety reasons, he did not hesitate to consume his own spiritual power, sacrificed the Yellow Luo Umbrella to protect his whole body, and at the same time operated the exercises to condense nine Xuanling Shields, surrounding his body. Formed several layers of defense.
After descending a distance, I saw a skeleton with a length of about a hundred feet. It looked like a huge snake bone. When I saw a unicorn on the skull of this skeleton.
Zhang Ling recognized that this was the skeleton of a Flood Dragon monster. Looking at this body, this monster was at least a transformed monster before his death.
A monster of such strength died here, there must be some kind of danger here.
Looking at this skeleton a few more times, Zhang Ling suddenly gave a light sigh, and with a flash of his body, he approached the head of the Jiao Bone, and shot out a ray of spiritual light, which turned into a yellow hand, with a bang, he directly broke the three-foot-long unicorn on the head of the Jiao Bone.
This unicorn also seemed to have been petrified, but he suddenly sensed a weak spiritual power fluctuation inside, and had not completely lost its spirituality.
The spiritual light in the yellow hand flickered, and the Jiao Long(蛟龙: Flood Dragon) unicorn shook a few times, and countless cracks appeared on it, and a thick layer of stone skin fell off, and a wisp of blue light emerged.
Revealing the original face of the unicorn, this is a blue unicorn, crystal clear like amber.
Zhang Ling immediately sensed a wave of water spiritual power inside, and couldn't help but smile. "Hehe, the spirituality has not been completely lost. It is enough to refine a good magic weapon."
Like Jiao Long(蛟龙: Flood Dragon), the materials on the body of this kind of heaven and earth spirit beast are top-notch refining materials, especially this kind of unicorn, claws and teeth, are all spirit bones.
Especially the materials on the transformed monster.
The transformed monster has great spiritual wisdom. Although it is a monster clan, after they have great spiritual wisdom, although they can also use magic weapons.
But they care more about the strength of their own body, and will consciously use the demon power in their body to continuously nourish the hard parts of their body, which is similar to the monks nourishing their natal magic weapons in their body.
In this way, the demon cultivator can better display his talent and supernatural powers.
After putting away the Jiao Long(蛟龙: Flood Dragon) horn, Zhang Ling went to investigate downwards again. The more he went down, the more bones he could find. And the strength of these bones before their death was not weak.
Every distance, you can see a huge skeleton, these giant skeletons are mostly the existence of Nascent Soul monks before their death.
In this way, he found several kinds of spiritual materials on these remnant bones.
Zhang Ling didn't have any joy in his heart, but instead had a feeling of shock. At this moment, he suddenly shifted his direction, moved a hundred feet away, and arrived in front of a stone wall.
He stared at the stone wall with flickering eyes and pondered. This is a dark stone wall, with pits and bumps on it, and nothing surprising.
But he seemed to have felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuation just now, but at this moment, when he came to the front, he couldn't sense it again.
Did he feel wrong?
Zhang Ling wondered, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the stone wall, scanning back and forth with his divine sense.
The stone wall in this deep underground is very hard, and the divine sense can only penetrate into it for more than ten feet, and then he can't sense anything.
In this kind of place, he is highly vigilant, and the feeling just now should not be wrong. He immediately threw out two sword lights and slashed on the stone wall.
With a series of loud noises, soil and rocks splashed, and deep sword marks were directly cut on it. But there was still no discovery.
It seems that he really might have felt wrong, Zhang Ling shook his head and planned to leave.
Just turned around and turned his head again in an instant, he suddenly felt it again, he sensed a trace of spiritual power fluctuation again. Although it was very weak, but this time he was so close that it was indeed a trace of spiritual power fluctuation.
With a thought, he directly cast the Earth Escape Technique and entered this stone wall.
Although the effect of the Earth Escape Technique is greatly reduced here, it can still be used.
Zhang Ling slowly traveled through the soil and rocks, approaching the trace of induction.
But as soon as he entered it, that trace of induction disappeared again.
Fortunately, after a few more breaths, he sensed the wave of spiritual power again.
After sensing it several times, Zhang Ling approached the location of that trace of spiritual power fluctuation.
But when he thought he would find something similar to a spirit bone, suddenly his eyes blurred, and he appeared in a dark space.
It was very similar to being suddenly transmitted to another place, Zhang Ling was startled, and quickly released the flying sword and the Earth Element Gourd. Fortunately, there was no danger.
