396: Chapter 273: Underground Palace_2 396: Chapter 273: Underground Palace_2 Li Qingyan pointed at the cave wall:
“Prince Consort, explore with your will-spirit and you’ll see.”
“……”
Xu Yuan concentrated his thoughts, and his will-spirit stretched out from his sea of consciousness, probing the surroundings.
The next mont, under Li Qingyan’s watchful eyes, Xu Yuan’s brows furrowed bit by bit.
After activating his cultivation technique, his eyes would have a certain degree of night vision.
But in the absolute darkness at that mont, this night vision would be weakened to the extre; however, the will-spirit was more like searching with subsonic waves in his past life, directly mapping the surroundings in his mind, unaffected by the brightness of light.
At that mont though, when his will-spirit touched the cave’s inner wall, it beca weakened and powerless as if it had entered a domain of latency.
And that tranquil cave wall…
it was consuming his will-spirit…
A very subtle sensation.
If it wasn’t for his habituation to the invasion of the Charm Spore during dual cultivation with Su Jinxuan, Xu Yuan, with his Innate Soul Body, wouldn’t have noticed it imdiately.
“….”
In the hush, Xu Yuan silently stood and walked toward a nearby stone wall.
He stood close and slowly raised his hand to gently touch the wall.
The wall was not ice-cold on touch, but fuzzy and sowhat damp,
Could this be…
vegetation?
“Whoosh—”
A streak of Blood Essence fla suddenly ignited, dispersing the pitch darkness in the cave.
Moving the Blood Essence fla closer to the eerie vegetation crawling on the cavern walls, Xu Yuan observed attentively and saw the plants near the fla give way to it as if alive.
When the Blood Essence fla was moved away, the vegetation crawled back.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan used the light from the fla in his palm to look around.
Then,
He suddenly realized that the spacious cave, whether the floor or the inner walls, was covered with a layer of unidentified vegetation.
It had a reddish-brown color,
Looking sowhat eerie under the illumination of the Blood Essence fla in his hand.
Withdrawing his hand, the fla dissipated, and the cave imdiately returned to darkness.
Xu Yuan exhaled and went back to sit beside Li Qingyan.
The spot where they were sitting was the only “clean land” around them; this area’s vegetation must have been consud by the spatial turbulence they brought with them during the teleportation.
In a mont of silence, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
“Qingyan, do you know what this mycelium is?”
Li Qingyan twirled her slender fingers around the Suru Ring:
“There are not many plants in this world that can shield the will-spirit, and none of them are reddish-brown.
This must be unique to this Underground Palace.”
“Unique?”
Xu Yuan murmured and then cracked a smile, “Then we’ve struck it rich, haven’t we?
This reddish-brown mycelium is a brand new material.
Once we get out, I’ll take so samples back for my fourth sister; if we find soone to extract it, she might just co up with a surprise.”
“….” On hearing this, Li Qingyan’s expression gradually beca odd.
“Just kidding.”
Seeing this, Xu Yuan spread his hands, the smile fading from his eyes.
Discovering a brand new material in this extraordinary world did promise enormous profits, but all that was on the premise that they could first make it out.
And having witnessed the strangeness of the reddish-brown mycelium, Xu Yuan suddenly recalled sothing, sothing that he had almost forgotten.
His fortune was as high as 3 points.
Being a hobody engaged in cultivation didn’t reveal its imnse power, which proved advantageous only during such random teleportations.
Previously in the Qionghua Secret Realm, he was teleported directly into the perilous Lake of Cherry Leeches; this ti, it seed he was teleported into so kind of dead land.
As he thought this, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Qingyan, who was exceptionally beautiful and dust-free, and sighed.
It seed that the Wrapped Chest Princess had quite low fortune as well.
Hmm…
missing the Treasure Seeking Miss for N 1 days.
Noticing that Xu Yuan had stopped speaking, Li Qingyan also quietly shared her findings from when she had explored the Underground Palace before:
“Though this Underground Palace is intricate and complicated, there are clear man-made traces.
It’s very likely to be an ancient tomb, or perhaps a maze set by the predecessors…”
“Qingyan,”
Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted, pointing to the ceiling of the cave above, “Could you try breaking through here directly?”
In the Cangyuan Chronicles destruction of terrain was forbidden, but in reality, it was possible.
A maze?
Why navigate a maze?
Just drill through!
With a faint smile, Li Qingyan responded.
The next instant,
“Schwing!”
Her blade unsheathed rapidly, a streak of sparks flew in the darkness, as the sharp tip of the blade targeted the ceiling with a fierce jab.
“Hum—”
The blade sang crisply, a whirlwind spreading out from Li Qingyan as its center.
With her sleeves settling down, a small, round hole instantly appeared, bottomless, yet without sunlight.
After sheathing her blade, Li Qingyan stated succinctly:
“I’ve already tried before.
This Underground Palace is very deep, I can’t be sure how far it is from the surface.”
Xu Yuan looked up at the hole in the ceiling, slightly hesitant:
“What about attacking it several tis in a row?”
“…”
Li Qingyan did not respond, lightly placing a finger on her rosy lips, turning her gaze towards the dark depths of the cave: “Shh…”
Xu Yuan furrowed his brows, narrowing his eyes.
It seed there were “creatures” in this Underground Palace…
Lost in thought,
Xu Yuan’s gaze beca focused as he reached out with his will-spirit again.
But the very next mont, a burly humanoid shadow zood out of the darkness and attacked like lightning!
The humanoid shadow’s arrival was sudden; not only undetectable by the will-spirit but also without any sound.
The speed was so fast that Xu Yuan could barely make out its movents with the aid of the Blood Essence teoring Art.
In other words, to Li Qingyan, this speed would likely be as slow as a tortoise’s crawl.
And as Xu Yuan thought,
A flash of fiery red blade light sliced through the blackness of the cave, and after lighting up the darkness, the approaching shadow was instantly split in midair into two halves, falling to the ground beside them with two “thuds,” following the inertia of its attack!
