Chapter 267: Something is wrong, the humiliation and the formation of the Yuan Mine Facing Chu Ge's questioning, the ginseng old man didn't dare to bluff or refute anymore, fearing that this cruel little villain would crush him into ginseng juice, so he hung his head and said honestly. “I know there is a passage in the Yuan Mine that can lead directly to the depths of the mine and even leave this ruins. I plan to escape into that passage when you are tired from fighting these demon kings. There are formations guarding there, so you can’t catch me.” Chu Ge looked at the Yuanling Ginseng that had been tied up like a dumpling in astonishment, "You still want to escape like this? Even if we are exhausted from fighting the demon king, you can't escape from the snake treasure bag." When he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the arms behind the old man's back and asked, "What are you doing with these arms?" “No, no,” the ginseng old man showed an awkward but polite smile on his face. Chu Ge immediately turned over the back of the Yuanling ginseng to check, only to find that the mycelium binding the Yuanling ginseng had been broken at some point. There were signs of being bitten at the broken part, and the mycelium was being pulled by several arms, pretending to be still trapped. "You can actually break my mycelium?" Chu Ge almost laughed out of anger.
This old guy is really cunning and capable. The mycelium he created was not only extremely poisonous, but also extremely tough. Logically speaking, the more the bound person struggled, the tighter the mycelium would become, and the more the poisonous fungus would invade the bound person's body, causing unbearable pain. The old ginseng man laughed dryly but not without pride, "I am Yuanling ginseng. Plants have a strong ability to digest toxins. Although the mycelium you made is poisonous, I can eat it and digest it." "Great, great, now I know." Chu Ge praised, then took out the spider silk and wrapped the ginseng old man with more than ten pieces of silk without hesitation, almost wrapping the ginseng old man into a cocoon-like silkworm, making him look many years younger in an instant. Feng Jie said, "Be gentle, we are still counting on this old man to show us the way. If he can lead us deep into the Yuan Mineral Vein, we might be able to find the Yuan Force Crystal Essence." The old man was almost unable to breathe because of being tied up. He was afraid that Chu Ge would be ruthless. Hearing this, he immediately struggled and said, "Yes, yes, I can still show you the way. Be gentle, loosen up a little. I will definitely not play tricks this time." Chu Ge secretly gave Feng Jie a look of approval, pretending to be fierce and said, "Old man, if you dare to play tricks again, I will have no choice but to use you to make soup. I heard that drinking soup made from old ginseng like yours has many benefits, it can prolong life, and can also nourish yin and yang." Feng Jie blushed when she heard that, and she glared at Chu Ge and turned her head away. Soon, Chu Ge asked Yuanling Ginseng about the new route. He was not worried that the old man would play tricks again. If there was any disturbance or danger, Jixiang Ruyi Guaqian would give an advance warning. Next, he took out the poison sac and spider silk of the Human Spider Demon King and pretended to drag the corpse into the Snake Treasure's bag, but in fact he sacrificed it directly into the Dragon Bell. When it came to the divine spear in the hands of the Spider Demon King, Chu Ge did not sacrifice himself into the Dragon Bell again. Now he still has quite a few magical weapons being refined in his dragon bell. Judging from the spiritual fluctuations of this spear, it is only a low-level acquired divine weapon, so there is little point in refining it. You can keep it and sell it at the right time to earn a large amount of special power crystals. "If I sell this spear in the future, I will share the spoils with you." Chu Ge stuffed the spear into Shebao's bag and said to Feng Jie. Feng Jie ruffled her hair and said calmly, "No need for that. You killed the Spider King, so the spoils are yours."
"atmosphere!" Chu Ge gave a thumbs up in praise, but he was not polite to refuse. He dusted his hands, stood up, and shook his head, saying, "The ruins of the Yunmeng Sect don't seem to be as good as the Tianyuan Demon Cave you explored before. At least you got the Lotus Treasure Lamp, a low-level innate magic weapon, that time. But in this ruins, we have only seen some phantoms of divine weapons, but have not encountered even a single innate divine weapon." Feng Jie rolled her eyes, crossed her arms over her chest and held the sword, saying, "The innate divine weapon is more spiritual, and even has intelligence, so it won't be captured easily. I got the Lotus Treasure Lamp by chance. Even if there are innate divine weapons in this relic, they are most likely in the ruins on the hills we saw before. Do you want to go explore? I do want to go." "Forget it." Chu Ge immediately shook his head, "Let's go to the Yuan Mine first." He turned around, opened the black paper umbrella and continued walking. "Hey!" Feng Jie chased after him angrily, "We agreed before that I would accompany you to find the Yuan Mineral Vein, and then you would accompany me to find the Xiantian Divine Weapon." Chu Ge coughed dryly and said, "That's what I said, but I feel that the ruins are very weird. You also saw those extremely powerful gods before. According to what the old man Renshen said, I'm afraid there are many evil spirits in it." Feng Jie, "We have to go and take a look before deciding whether to go in. If it's really dangerous, forget it. You can tell fortunes, so you can do it first when the time comes." "This..." Chu Ge nodded after thinking about it, "Let's try it then." He thought of the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Tiger Binding Belt. I feel that the Yunmeng Sect might really have these two magical weapons that are suspected to be fragments of the Tiger Soul Blade. If you can find it, you will make a fortune. The two chatted as they walked, and their speed was not slow. Soon they had covered a distance of more than 200 miles. Gradually, they could see a vast mountain range in front of them that looked like a blue dragon, winding from north to south, shrouded in white clouds. The mountain opposite is tall and majestic, like a giant blocking the way forward. You can clearly see the deep canyon at the foot of the mountain, covered with spider webs and strange trees like black thorns. It is obviously the nest of those strange spiders. The two of them bypassed the nest and, under the guidance of the ginseng old man, entered another canyon path. There is a turbulent river in the canyon, with surging rapids and thundering waves. Countless whirlpools form on the water surface, pouring directly into a huge underground cave. When you get here, the mountains and valleys are filled with milky white mist mixed with strange power, like flowing slurry, which seems to be able to make people float. Every breath makes you feel relaxed all over, and the strange power in your body is rapidly improving. "Are you sure it's deep in this underground river cave?" Chu Ge looked at the old ginseng man, "Don't tease me again." "Don't dare." The old ginseng man waved his hands repeatedly, "It's in here, go in quickly, I haven't absorbed vitality for a long time, I'm so hungry." As it spoke, it opened its mouth wide and absorbed the rich strange power in the air around it as if intoxicated. After Chu Ge and Feng Jie looked at each other, they immediately jumped into the turbulent river without hesitation. He quickly performed the Demon Incarnation and entered the demon body state of the Green Water Monkey, with sharp bone spurs growing on the joints of his limbs. With a wave of his hand, with a "splash" sound, the waves gathered into a circle and wrapped him and Feng Jie, quickly rolling into the depths of the river, like a giant ship in the water, galloping towards the depths of the underground river cave. "You know so much."
Feng Jie was in a water ball isolated by waves. She exclaimed in amazement as she watched the water swirling around her and the environment constantly changing. Chu Ge smiled calmly, "They are just little tricks. When we get along for a long time, you will find that I can do more. But you know a lot of my secrets now. As the son of destiny, if you attack me in the future, I will be in a passive position. " Feng Jie chuckled and said, "This so-called Son of Destiny is just a title given by the Destiny Sect, but what is the Destiny Sect? How can it define our lives? This is the mess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter what the Four Heavenly Fates of the North and South are, whoever wants to intervene can intervene. I won’t even look at it.” Chu Ge laughed out loud, and was also inspired by Feng Jie's words. He said with his hands behind his back, "It's a pity that you are a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Otherwise, I would definitely become your brother and drink with you!" Feng Jie's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light of displeasure, and she said in a dangerous tone, "What's wrong with being a woman? Can you men look down on me? Am I not worthy of drinking with you?" "That's not the case." Chu Ge shook his head and smiled, then sighed, "It's just that when a man and a woman are drinking and getting excited, they often do some stupid things, especially when the wine is good and the woman is a beauty, it will be easier to achieve good things." "You..." Feng Jie was surprised and showed an unexpected shyness, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, and the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant. Because as long as you are a woman, you will never be angry at someone who says he is a beautiful person. Even if you are angry, you will be ashamed. At this moment, Feng Jie was so ashamed and angry that she reached out and punched Chu Ge on his thick back, "You bad guy, how dare you tease me? Next time I must drink with you to see who gets drunk." She seldom cursed, so the three words she uttered at this moment, "bad thing", didn't sound like curses, but more like a joke between lovers. Chu Ge saw that the situation was not right, so he smiled and did not reply. He was just saying it casually, with no intention of teasing, but looking at Feng Jie's reaction, he vaguely realized that this woman obviously did not have any ill feelings towards him, but rather had more favorable feelings towards him. He was no novice and he knew very well that when a woman felt embarrassed and annoyed towards a man instead of resisting him, then this woman might be in danger no matter how powerful she was in martial arts, even if she was the best martial artist in the world. But he has no such intention for the time being. Even if he does, it would be the kind of sexual pleasure like that of Dugu Mingxin, where we are happy together and that's it. As for that crappy romantic love story, it's not as important as his creation of the alien force crystal. Therefore, he shut up at the right time and drove the water ball formed by the surrounding water flow to continue rushing downwards. The atmosphere seemed a little depressing for a moment. The water ball flows down along the turbulent river, and thick fog, like water mist and the tide of vital energy, becomes deeper and deeper as it goes down. When you breathe in through your mouth and nose, you feel as if all the cells in your body become active. Even though he didn't practice any energy at this time, the strange power in his dantian was actually growing naturally. Soon, the front suddenly became bright, a shimmering crystal light appeared, and the underground river banks on both sides gradually rose. "We're here, that's it" The ginseng old man shouted. Chu Ge immediately turned the water flow around, creating a platform of water that lifted him and Feng Jie closer. "Wait, wait, be careful not to touch the formation here." The ginseng old man reminded again. Chu Ge was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be a formation in such a place. He didn't even know what the formation was, how it was formed, or how to break it. However, after being reminded by the old ginseng man, he also discovered it while standing at the forefront.
The crystalline rocks standing on the opposite river bank are like silent guards lined up in front, forming a symmetry with the uneven stalactites hanging above the cave, like the mouth of a giant beast. The surging vital energy evaporated into mist in that area, refracting the light, making it look bizarre and full of mystery. When he wanted to get closer, the auspicious Ruyi Guaqian behind him did give him a warning, but the magnitude of the warning was not very strong. Chu Ge stared at the rock with a radiant crystal glow inside, and said to the old ginseng man, "Is this the Yuan Mine that contains the Yuan Force crystals? You said there is a formation guarding it, how do we get in?" The old ginseng man shook his head helplessly and said, "The formation will only stop you, but it won't stop me. I have always been able to go in directly when I come here, but if you go in, you may be in danger." Chu Ge's eyes flickered as he looked at a crystal-clear cave extending from behind the rows of rocks. "You said there is a passage leading out of the ruins. Is it inside this?" The old man nodded, "Yes, it's inside. That's an entrance and exit. I used to enter and exit this ruins from there." Chu Ge and Feng Jie looked at each other, speechless for a moment. If they had known earlier that there was a secret passage here, why would they have had to fight to the death with the Ice Qilin? Or maybe this old guy is dishonest. He kept such good news hidden and didn't tell me earlier. "I'll try." Chu Ge summoned Xiao Gui and Xiao Qian from the snake treasure bag to help watch over the ginseng old man. He then quickly summoned a paper shadow puppet from the snake treasure bag, and in front of Feng Jie's suddenly widened eyes, he drove the expanded paper shadow puppet towards the entrance. "What kind of secret technique is this?" Feng Jie had a strange look on her face and murmured softly. A sudden change occurred. The moment the shadow puppets approached the rows of rock mines, the rising tide of vital energy above them quickly shrank and suddenly exploded. Bang! —— The paper shadow puppet was like being hit by an air cannon and instantly shattered into pieces. "You're resisted just by approaching me?" Chu Ge frowned, took out the Thunder Bow, and quickly drew the bow and shot an arrow. "Boom!——" A lightning arrow instantly lit up the dark cave. When it was about to fall on the rock mine in the front row, the surging vital energy suddenly surged up again, as if forming some strange and majestic formation. The moment it collided with the lightning arrow, it exploded with a powerful energy. Rumbling-- The rumbling and dull sound of thunder spread in the river. The vital energy on the river bank shrank rapidly like boiling water, forming a colorful vortex portal, and even expanded outward, containing bursts of dangerous aura. "Don't attack again, I feel danger." Feng Jie looked serious and reminded immediately. There was no need for her to remind him. Chu Ge felt that when he drew his bow again and aimed at the vortex of vital energy in front of him, Jixiang Ruyi Guaqian was giving him a fierce warning. It seemed that if he shot the arrow again, it would be like detonating a large amount of force thunder, which would blow himself and Feng Jie to death here.
"No wonder Dongfang Qiling was so generous and told me the location of the Yuan Mine directly." Chu Ge frowned, slowly retracted the bow, and looked at the ginseng old man again, his eyes slightly turning. "You said you can come in and out freely? The formation here won't stop you?" "Hey, of course." The old man raised his chin slightly, somewhat complacently, "Old man, wherever I go, I am treated like a treasure, a popular commodity, and I am welcomed everywhere, oh." Before it could finish its words, Chu Ge pulled out a beard of itss. It cried out in pain, "What are you doing? You can't get in, but you can't take it out on me." Chu Ge smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll lend you a beard." The old ginseng man blew his beard and glared, "You have already pulled one before, why do you need it? I only have this many hairs, old man." Chu Ge said calmly, "I have two people here, don't be so stingy, let Lady Feng dance for you someday to cheer you up, your beard will grow faster." "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Feng Jie snorted, "Do you think we can get in just by holding its whiskers?" "I have my own way, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, you don't have to dance to thank me." Chu Ge took out a pen and paper from the snake treasure bag and prepared to make a qi talisman with the beard of the Yuanling ginseng.
