Chapter 156: Treasure Hunt in the Ruins

Under Cen Yi's gaze, the gourd, which was originally three meters high, became smaller and smaller as Liang Xiao injected more and more runes into it.

After three full hours, the gourd that was originally three meters high was compressed to the size of a palm.

A treasure gourd that can be held in one hand and looks like a work of art appeared in Liang Xiao's hand.

"I always feel like something is wrong..."

Liang Xiao took the gourd and looked at it carefully. Two seconds later, he suddenly cursed inwardly: "I forgot to plug the gourd..."

Although it is possible to add it now, it will not be perfect.

"Master, someone is approaching." Cen Yi suddenly said.

"Haha, there's such a pretty girl here?"

"Get lost, what little girl? This is a Jindan stage, a peerless genius!!"

"A Jindan stage at such a young age? Could he be the descendant of an immortal from the cultivation world?!"

As soon as Cen Yi finished speaking, three men in the late Jindan stage appeared five hundred meters away.

One of them asked in surprise, "May I ask if you two are honored guests from the cultivation world?"

"Honored guest?"

Liang Xiao raised his head and said, "You call the invaders of the cultivation world honored guests?"

There was also a cold flash in Cen Yi’s eyes.

Five hundred meters away, the three men's faces darkened.

"So, you two are not from the world of cultivation?" The face of the person who spoke before suddenly turned cold.

"I've heard that the outskirts of Jindan Cave are full of various fugitives, but I didn't expect that everyone I met was a traitor."

Liang Xiao spoke expressionlessly, then pointed the magic gourd he had just refined directly at the three people.

"Do it!"

"I want that little girl, don't kill her in one blow!"

Five hundred meters away, three Jindan stage cultivators burst out at speed instantly.

However, just as they made a move, they were suddenly restrained by a formidable force.

"what?!"

"Damn..."

The three people's faces changed drastically and they struggled hard.

However, in this process they were shrinking rapidly and were pulled towards Liang Xiao by a suction force and were directly sucked into the magic gourd in Liang Xiao's hand.

Without any chance to fight back, he was sucked in.

This is the power of this magic gourd.

Cen Yi, who was about to take action, blinked her big eyes and looked at the gourd in Liang Xiao's hand with a little surprise and curiosity.

"From what these three people said... could it be that there are people from the cultivation world staying on Earth?"

Liang Xiao murmured: "Maybe someone has even entered the outer perimeter of the Golden Core Cave?"

If that's the case, it would be interesting.

He didn't dare to say it outside, but here, with his current strength, he could completely sweep away everything.

He has the confidence and courage to do so.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Quick attack..."

"It's useless, damn it..."

“Let us out!!”

At this time, the voices of the three people from before could be faintly heard from the treasure gourd.

Liang Xiao put his eyes close to the mouth of the gourd and took a look inside, and saw the three people attacking randomly in the dark void with panicked looks on their faces.

However, the attacks of the three men had no effect on the gourd, not even a slight vibration.

According to his estimation, one would have to be at least in the late Nascent Soul stage, or even at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, to cause damage to this gourd.

As for the Spirit Transformation Stage, he should be able to destroy this gourd directly.

But then again, he shouldn't be able to take in an enemy at the Spiritual Transformation stage. At least not now.

"I'll give it to you to play with."

Liang Xiao casually threw the gourd to Cen Yi: "Just don't kill the people inside, I still have some use for you."

These traitors are the best material for making Dream Pearls. It would be a pity to kill them directly.

If they hadn't run out of stuff to load, he would have wanted to stay with Ward's team.

"Thank you, Mountain Master." Cen Yi was delighted.

Sure enough, only by following the strong can you eat meat!

She could see the preciousness of this gourd, and she actually gave it to herself.

However, this kind of thing is probably only the mountain master can do it. It is not so easy for others to refine treasures of this level.

"Weng—"

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the northwest direction, followed by the weathering of a large amount of building debris in that direction, and even collapse in some areas.

Cen Yi was shocked, thinking that another demon had appeared.

"Don't be nervous, the formation over there has been destroyed."

Liang Xiao collected the remaining demon skeletons and stepped into the air: "Let's go and see what's left. These things have been around for at least 100,000 years. After the formation disappeared, anything that can still be left is a treasure."

Upon hearing this, Cen Yi quickly took off into the air and followed Liang Xiao closely.

She is also very interested in this kind of treasure hunt, especially when there is no danger.

Thinking of this, she felt emotional. The outskirts of the Jindan Cave, which was extremely dangerous in the eyes of others, were like a back garden to its owner.

I wonder what those people who came in with me would think if they knew about this?
Now those people should be fighting with monsters and demons, or even trapped in some formation, right?

Indeed, Liang Xiao took a step in the air about a hundred meters above the ground as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, releasing his spiritual consciousness and scanning all the surrounding areas.

However, in order to prevent the appearance of things that could block his spiritual awareness, his eyes were not idle.

Half a minute later, he arrived at a place and used traction magic to pull out a pillar that was twenty meters long and three meters in diameter from the thick dust.

"Mountain Master, is this a support pillar?" Cen Yi asked curiously.

“This is not a support column.”

Liang Xiao grasped the huge pillar in the air, and it shrank rapidly, turning into a long stick in his hand.

"Weapons?" Cen Yi was stunned.

"Not a weapon."

Liang Xiao rubbed the stick and said doubtfully: "The runes inside do not have any attack enhancement effect, but rather a balancing and stabilizing effect. I don't know what it was used for in the first place."

He put the stick away and continued digging in the dust.

Because the formation disappeared, the power that had maintained these things for endless years could no longer hold, and anything that was not strong enough was reduced to ashes.

So, the place that looked like a building ruin before has now completely turned into flat ground.

Or... gray land?
At this time, Cen Yi suddenly picked up a bead from a large amount of dust: "Mountain Master, is this a good thing?"

Liang Xiao took a look and said, "Human eyeballs."

"Ah?" Cen Yi almost threw it out.

"The eyeball that has been preserved until now must be worth a lot of money. Let me take a look."

Liang Xiao took it and looked at it, exclaiming: "It contains special runes... and it doesn't look like it was imprinted after birth, but more like an innate rune. It is indeed a good thing."

"Innate rune?"

Cen Yi asked blankly, "Are runes divided into innate and acquired?"

"I haven't seen similar records, but in my opinion, the runes we usually come into contact with should all be copied from some innate runes."

Liang Xiao said: "Of course, it is possible that someone created it, but the rune itself is not simple, because I found that each rune does not exist alone."

"Not existing alone?" Cen Yi was a little confused.

"What this means is that these runes can generate power because there is a special source behind them."

Liang Xiao explained: "To put it simply, it's like a mobile phone. The reason why a mobile phone can generate signals is because of satellites. Of course, I'm talking about innate runes, the kind that don't require energy. The kind that requires energy to be infused to take effect is not that advanced."
