Chapter 27 Millennium Stone Marrow Fluid

In the following days, Ye Changsheng and Ye Jiuhu continued to explore according to the map of Tianji Pavilion.

As the two continued to explore, in the depths of the secret realm, Ye Changsheng and Ye Jiuhu found a winding ancient underground passage.

The torches on the walls of the passage flickered with a faint light.

Their footsteps echoed in the empty passage, accompanied by the sound of dripping water from afar, and there was a mysterious atmosphere.

After half an hour of journey, they finally walked out of the passage, and the eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge underground hall appeared in front of them.

In the center of the hall, a stone platform was surrounded by countless runes, emitting a faint light. A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes. This was the immortal ruins they were looking for.

However, their eyes were fixed on the mysterious stone door above the stone platform.

The stone door was engraved with a complex star map, and the stars were connected by light, forming a huge formation.

Ye Changsheng stepped forward and gently touched the stone door, and a trace of spiritual power flowed out from his fingertips and wandered along the lines of the star map.

Suddenly, the star map emitted a dazzling light, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a stone staircase leading down.

They walked down the stone staircase carefully and came to a huge underground space. It was full of humid air and the smell of soil. At the end of the stone staircase was a square covered with vines and weeds.

In the center of the square, a stone platform stood alone, covered with moss, but under the moss, some strange runes could be vaguely seen.

Ye Changsheng walked forward and gently pushed away the moss on the stone platform, and the runes appeared, emitting a faint blue light.

He was about to observe carefully, when suddenly, the ground around the stone platform began to shake, and a beam of light rose from the stone platform, separating him and Ye Jiuhu.

"Changsheng, be careful!"

Ye Jiuhu's voice came from a distance, but was immediately swallowed by the light.

Ye Changsheng's heart tightened, he knew that they had triggered some kind of mechanism in the ruins.

He quickly retreated and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

After the light faded, he found himself in a closed space, and Ye Jiuhu had disappeared.

"Grandpa!"

Ye Changsheng called out loudly, but only the echo answered.

He took a deep breath and calmed down, knowing that he had to face the next challenge alone.

His eyes fell on the stone platform again, and the light of the rune seemed to guide him forward.

Ye Changsheng followed the guidance of the rune and began to arrange the spirit stones on the stone platform.

Every time a spirit stone was placed, the light of the rune became brighter.

When he placed the last spirit stone, the whole stone platform suddenly made a deafening roar, and a light gate appeared on the stone platform.

Ye Changsheng stepped into the light gate without hesitation, and the scenery in front of him changed. He came to a trial field full of puppets.

In the trial field, stone puppets were arranged neatly, their eyes were empty, but they exuded a compelling momentum.

Ye Changsheng clenched the long sword in his hand, he knew that this would be a difficult battle. He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate, and a sword light condensed on the tip of the sword.

"Come on!"

He shouted and rushed towards the group of puppets.

The battle was about to break out, and Ye Changsheng's figure shuttled through the group of puppets, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.

Although the stone puppets were extremely powerful, their movements were slightly clumsy. Ye Changsheng gradually gained the upper hand with his flexible body and precise swordsmanship.

However, as the battle progressed, Ye Changsheng found that the number of puppets seemed to be increasing, and he had to find a more effective way to fight.

He began to observe the action patterns of the puppets and found that they always attacked after a specific time interval.

Using this discovery, Ye Changsheng began to formulate tactics. He no longer fought the puppets head-on, but used the speed advantage to conduct guerrilla warfare.

Whenever the puppet attacked, he quickly dodged and counterattacked its weaknesses at the same time.

After a fierce battle, Ye Changsheng finally defeated the last puppet.

He was panting, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but his eyes were shining with victory.

Ye Changsheng carefully picked up the jade bottle and gently uncorked it. A stream of pure spiritual energy gushed out, carrying the freshness of the soil and a faint fragrance.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt every subtle detail of the spiritual energy flowing through his body.

Ye Changsheng's face showed a look of understanding.

As a cultivator, he has a keen intuition about spiritual objects.

The vitality and depth contained in this spiritual energy are exactly the same as the thousand-year-old stone marrow liquid described in ancient books. He did not need more evidence to determine that the jade bottle contained the treasure that cultivators dreamed of - the thousand-year-old stone marrow liquid.

Ye Changsheng carefully picked up the jade bottle, and he could feel the huge energy contained in the stone marrow liquid.

Roughly feeling it, this bottle of thousand-year-old stone marrow liquid is about the weight of two people.

He decided to swallow one immediately to enhance his strength, and carefully keep the other, planning to bring it back to his mother.

He opened the jade bottle, and a fragrance came to his nose. He took a deep breath and poured half a bottle of stone marrow liquid into his mouth.

As soon as the stone marrow liquid entered his mouth, it turned into a hot stream, flowing down his throat into his body, and his whole body was surrounded by warmth.

Ye Changsheng immediately sat cross-legged and began to refine the stone marrow liquid. He could feel the spiritual power in his body growing rapidly, and the spiritual power in the meridians was like a rushing river, constantly impacting one bottleneck after another.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Ye Changsheng's cultivation level continued to rise. Finally, when he opened his eyes, his cultivation level had firmly stopped at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He stood up, feeling the surging power in his body, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented light.

...

His sight turned to Ye Jiuhu.

After passing through the light gate, Ye Jiuhu found himself in a quiet courtyard. There were towering ancient trees in the courtyard, a bluestone path winding forward, lush spiritual herbs on both sides, and a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.

He walked along the path and soon came to the center of the courtyard, where there was an exquisite pavilion with a stone table in the pavilion, and a complex formation was engraved on the stone table.

Ye Jiuhu stared at the formation, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He recognized that this was a Liuhe formation, an ancient and powerful defensive formation. He knew that to pass this trial, he had to solve the mystery of the formation.

Ye Jiuhu closed his eyes and began to deduce the changes of the formation in his mind. Countless spiritual energy flow routes flashed through his mind, and every possible solution was verified by him one by one.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but he was unaware of it.

Finally, Ye Jiuhu opened his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He found a way to crack the formation.
