Chapter 12643 A huge fortune
Soon, the two followed the puppet to the deepest part of Yanxia Cave, where there was a stone door.

The runes engraved on it exuded a faint spiritual light, as if telling a thousand-year-old secret. But there was no mechanism or formation set up.

Pushing open the stone door, a cool breeze blows towards you, bringing with it the faint scent of flowers and the freshness of grass.

The light inside the room is soft, as if emitted by naturally formed gems, illuminating every corner.

The ground is paved with an unknown stone, which feels warm to the touch. Walking on it, you can almost feel the flow of spiritual energy under your feet.

The surrounding walls were made from a single piece of bluestone, polished and smooth as a mirror. The paintings on them were lifelike, as if the legendary warriors would walk out of the paintings at any time.

The bronze alchemy furnace in the center of the secret room is about three feet high. The furnace body is carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. The lid of the furnace is half open, revealing the dancing flames inside.

The flame was dark blue, sometimes turning into a dragon, sometimes into a phoenix, as if it had its own life and will.

Various rare spiritual herbs and minerals are placed beside the furnace, which are essential materials for alchemy.

There is an ancient zither placed on one side close to the wall.

The wood of the guqin is dark brown, and a few gold leaves are inlaid on the surface of the guqin, sparkling with dazzling light.

The strings are as thin as hair, but very tough. A gentle plucking can produce a melodious sound. The sound echoes in the secret room, as if it can penetrate people's hearts and make them forget the troubles of the world.

In addition, there are some jade slips and ancient books scattered in the secret room. These are the cultivation experiences and secrets left by warriors.

Each ancient book exudes a faint book fragrance, and the jade slips are engraved with dense runes. These are the crystallization of the warriors' understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

The entire secret room is filled with a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere, as if it is a holy place for cultivation isolated from the world.

Here, warriors can calm down, comprehend the way of heaven and earth, and pursue the highest realm of immortality.

Finally, Ling Xiao fixed his eyes on a skeleton.

The dry bones sat there, seemingly at peace in death.

Next to the dry bones, there were three storage rings.

The three storage rings are of different colors, and it seems that they store different things. Ling Xiao scanned them with his spiritual sense and showed a look of surprise.

The first storage ring was golden in color, and was filled with spirit stones. There were no low-grade spirit stones, only high-grade ones. Although there were only a hundred thousand of them, in the northern border, at least at the foot of the mountain, low-grade spirit stones were used.

It takes ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to exchange for one unit of medium-grade spirit stones.

It takes 100 million low-grade spirit stones to exchange for one unit of high-grade spirit stones.

One hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones would mean ten trillion low-grade spirit stones. This number is too terrifying.

The second storage ring is red, and it is filled with elixirs. Moreover, the quality of these elixirs is so good. They are all used by warriors above the Martial Soul Realm. Although there are not many, only a few dozen in total, each one is priceless.

The third storage ring contained some magical weapons, and all of them were of the human master level.

There are hundreds of them.

You know, Ling Xiao worked so hard to upgrade the God-Slaying Sword Soul and the Bloodthirsty Knife Soul to the lower level of the Human Honor Grade.

But all of these are of the best quality at the human-level, and it seems that this strong man does not even look at the other qualities.

These are attractive enough.

But what moved Ling Xiao the most was the Heart of Fire held in the hand of the withered skeleton.

It seemed to be born from the depths of the lava, with blazing flames flowing on its surface, and every beat seemed to cause the surrounding air to vibrate.

Inside the gem, there seemed to be a flame that would never go out. The flame was so pure and powerful that people dared not look directly at it.

The heat and energy emitted by the Heart of Fire cause the surrounding air to appear distorted.

It continuously injects heat energy into the secret room, filling the entire room with a warm atmosphere.

At the same time, the Heart of Fire is also an important source of energy for the alchemy furnace. It provides the alchemy furnace with a constant supply of firepower, making the alchemy process smoother.

There are also some special runes and magic arrays around the Heart of Fire. They all exist to protect and stabilize the Heart of Fire.

These runes and magic circles flicker in the fiery energy of the Heart of Fire, as if they are breathing with the Heart of Fire and guarding this mysterious and powerful core together.

In fact, as long as there is a source of energy, the Heart of the Five Elements can be continuously condensed. After use, it can be condensed again in about a thousand years.

This is also the reason why Long Yun refined the Heart of the Five Elements at that time and still has it now.

Ling Xiao raised his hand and the Heart of Fire fell into his hands.

This was the most important goal of his trip, so naturally he had to collect it first.

Immediately, he put away the three storage rings.

Gu Qingyao saw it but didn't say anything. In fact, for her, getting the crystal core of the Flame Tiger King was already the biggest gain, because that was the most important reason for them to enter the Fire Cloud Mountains this time.

"Someone is coming. Divide these things after they get out!"

Ling Xiao spoke.

Gu Qingyao's pretty face suddenly turned red. She felt that she had misunderstood Ling Xiao. In fact, she was content if Ling Xiao didn't give her anything, but she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Now, she felt that she was really a mean person.

"It might be those mercenaries we hired. It's okay."

Gu Qingyao said.

"Are you sure?" Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this is a secret room. Do you think those people will not be tempted when they see the situation here?"

Gu Qingyao's face changed, but she immediately felt relieved. With Ling Xiao's strength, he probably didn't have to be afraid of those people.

Ling Xiao just waved his hand, and all the books in the secret room, even the alchemy furnace, were collected by him.

The remains of that senior were also collected by Ling Xiao, and he prepared to bury them to avoid being destroyed by those mercenaries.

This senior placed his things there before he died, for people in the future who were destined to receive them. He couldn't be so heartless as to let the senior's body be exposed in the wilderness.

Just as all this was done, the people outside rushed in.

It was indeed that group of mercenaries.

They were right.

However, the expression of the middle-aged captain at this moment was completely different from before.

"Where's Zhang Ding?"

The middle-aged man asked coldly.

"Zhang Kang, I want to ask you, where did Zhang Ding go?" Gu Qingyao asked indifferently with a cold expression.

It didn't look like acting at all, as if he had never really seen Zhang Ding.

Zhang Kang sneered: "Well, if you haven't seen it, then you haven't seen it. Anyway, the two of you won't be able to walk out of here alive today."

"Oh?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile: "So, you have had bad intentions since you received the mission?"

"So what? The main reason why we kept Gu Qingyao here is to let her help open the mechanism."
