Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Moreover, Shiji felt that his luck seemed to be running out. If he continued to stay here, he would probably encounter an accident sooner or later.

"What did you say? Shiji ran away?" When Li Qingxuan learned the news that Shiji had escaped, he became furious.

He originally thought that Shiji was already in his pocket, and he would definitely teach him a lesson when the time comes.

But who would have thought that Shiji would slip away right under his nose.

"This guy is such a cunning fox." Li Qingxuan said gritting his teeth, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

After Shiji escaped from their sight, they lost their target. It would not be easy to catch him again. However, Li Qingxuan was not worried. With his identity and background, it would be easy for him to find Shiji.

He immediately ordered a group of subordinates to investigate Shiji's current whereabouts.

At this time, Shiji was near the temple. Many people gathered here, including merchants and monks.

Most of these vendors are monks who yearn for the secret realm of the Holy Mountain. They set up stalls here to sell various items, and at the same time they also look forward to meeting companions who are going to the secret realm of the Holy Mountain.

Shiji couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the monks who came to him for help.

He was well aware of the dangers of the Holy Mountain Secret Realm. It was an extremely dangerous place, and once entered, one could be in danger of death.

However, there are indeed many rumors about top treasures circulating in that place.

For Shiji, it is also an adventurous place full of opportunities.

He planned to try his luck in it, maybe he could get some kind of heaven-defying opportunity to further improve his cultivation. Of course, he also hoped to take this opportunity to break through to the Saint King realm.

In the continent of cultivators, the Saint King realm is the most top-notch existence.

Even a quasi-emperor-level warrior is as weak as an ant in front of a cultivator at the Saint King level.

Of course, strong men at the Saint King level usually disdain to attack ordinary cultivators.

This is also one of the important reasons why Shiji wants to enter the secret realm of the holy mountain to explore opportunities.

There may be some shocking secrets hidden in the secret realm of the holy mountain.

After Shiji came here, he heard many legends and stories about the secrets of the Holy Mountain, but he found that he seemed to know nothing about it.

Most of the people here are independent cultivators without any power background, so naturally they don’t know a “native” like Shiji.

"My lord! I heard that you are planning to go to the Holy Mountain Secret Realm to look for opportunities. I wonder if you are willing to take me to the Holy Mountain Secret Realm to train with me?"

At this time, a young woman came over and said with a smile.

Her name is Liu Yaoxi.

Shiji glanced at Liu Yaoxi and saw that she was wearing a white dress, like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.

Shiji asked calmly, "Why are you following me?"

Liu Yaoxi said with great anticipation: "I have always been yearning for the Holy Mountain Secret Realm. I especially want to see it with my own eyes. What does the Holy Mountain Secret Realm look like?"

Shiji frowned slightly, and then responded: "The Holy Mountain Secret Realm is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may end up in ashes. That kind of place is really not suitable for you to take risks."

Liu Yaoxi said firmly: "I am not afraid of danger!"

Obviously, Liu Yaoxi was determined and did not want to miss the opportunity to go to the secret realm of the Holy Mountain.

Shiji said helplessly: "I understand your intention, but I can't take you to the adventure of the Holy Mountain Secret Realm."

"Why can't I go? Do you think I will be a burden to you?" Liu Yaoxi pouted and asked dissatisfiedly.

Shiji quickly shook her head and explained, "It's not that I dislike you for being a burden to me, it's just that you are too beautiful. What if you meet someone with bad intentions? Moreover, the beasts in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain are extremely ferocious. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you when the time comes."

"Then give me two powerful defensive magic weapons! This way we can take care of each other."

I have to say, this woman is indeed very intelligent.

Although she didn't provide any valuable information, she made such a suggestion, and Shiji couldn't refuse her request.

After all, there were times when he needed help.

Then, Shiji handed an ancient bronze bell to Liu Yaoxi. Liu Yaoxi took the bronze bell and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

Then she turned and left, and soon met up with several other monks.

These monks are all relatively old, and it is obvious that they have experienced a long time, and each of them has an extraordinary demeanor.

Shiji could guess the identities of these people without much thought.

They must have been sent by some force to supervise these people in their training in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain.

"Sister Yaoxi, I heard that the villain is causing trouble again! This time, I must kill him with my own hands to avenge you!" said one of the old men angrily.

"Second brother, you must not be impulsive!" Liu Yaoxi hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"Sister Yaoxi, don't worry, I will definitely not act rashly." The old man said with a smile.

"Not reckless? Weren't you scared to death by that little bastard at the beginning?" The young man on the side curled his lips in disdain.

"Third brother, shut your stinky mouth." The old man shouted in a deep voice. He was the most senior among the group.

Although the young master was not convinced, he did not dare to disobey the orders of his elders.

He snorted coldly and said no more.

"This time I plan to invite Sister Yaoxi to go to the Holy Mountain Secret Realm for training together. Sister Yaoxi, this is my business card. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can contact me." The old man said, taking out a jade talisman and handing it to Liu Yaoxi.

Liu Yaoxi said: "Thank you, Second Uncle!"

Then she put away the business card.

The other cultivators also took out their business cards and handed them to Liu Yaoxi. Everyone knew that Liu Yaoxi was the direct descendant of the Liu family, and if they could establish a good relationship with her, their future would definitely be bright.

Shiji ignored these people. He was waiting for someone and wondered if the owner of Longmen Inn had arrived by now.

Shiji has always been very patient, he waited quietly.

Finally, the owner of Longmen Inn arrived.

This was an old man. He quickly came towards Shiji and bowed to him respectfully.

The old man asked with a smile: "Sir, are you waiting for me?"

Shiji nodded and asked, "Do you know anything about the secret realm of the Holy Mountain?"

The owner of the Longmen Inn said: "This holy mountain secret realm is 5.6 million years old. It is said that it is a relic from ancient times and is only opened once every 100,000 years or so.

Because this period is the best time for the Holy Mountain Secret Realm to open, many large clans and sects have chosen to go to the Holy Mountain Secret Realm for training at this time. "

"I see."

Shiji nodded, and then asked: "In this case, I would like to ask a few more questions. I wonder if you can answer my doubts."

"Please feel free to ask me anything. I will never hide anything I know from you," said the owner of Longmen Inn.

"How many powerful people are there in the core area of ​​the Holy Mountain Secret Realm?" Shiji asked.

The Holy Mountain Secret Realm is very vast, and it is said that there are many prohibitions and formations inside.

Even for a strong man at the emperor level, it is difficult to reach the core area.

No one knows what is hidden in the secret realm of the holy mountain.

But Shiji knew in her heart that there must be some extremely terrifying beings lurking in the depths.
There once was a powerful being at the level of a Great Emperor who died in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain. Beings at this level of a Great Emperor generally have a lifespan of hundreds of billions of years.

If they hadn't died, they would have continued to practice for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. But in the Holy Mountain Secret Realm, no emperor-level warriors were ever seen again.

It is just rumored that there are treasures left behind by emperor-level powerful people in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain, but no one knows whether they really exist.

The shopkeeper of the Longmen Inn said: "There is indeed an emperor corpse deep in the secret realm of the Holy Mountain, but this emperor corpse is very powerful and has awakened. It is now frantically slaughtering the monks around it."

"What? The emperor's corpse has revived? What on earth is going on?"

"I'm not sure exactly what happened. But the truth will come out sooner or later. But no matter what, it's definitely not a good thing." said the owner of Longmen Inn.

"Yeah." Shiji nodded slightly.

Then, Shiji took out a storage ring, handed it to the shopkeeper of Longmen Inn, and said, "This is an emperor corpse I hunted! I hope the shopkeeper can sell it for a good price!"

"The emperor's corpse? It's actually the emperor's corpse! Young Master is really lucky!"

The old man's eyes lit up instantly.

The old man's name was Li Deren. After getting the valuables in Shiji's storage ring, his expression suddenly changed.

"Young Master, this emperor's corpse is very valuable. If you want to sell it, it can be sold for at least 80,000 immortal crystals!"

Shi Ji said: "Eighty thousand immortal crystals? I can consider it!"

Li Deren grinned and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a carriage for you right away. This journey is quite long!"

Afterwards, Li Deren asked the shop assistant to find a groom.

Then he drove the carriage and left the place.

Half an hour later, the carriage drove onto an official road.

Shiji saw that there was a city beside the official road.

Shiji was deeply impressed.

He remembered that the city seemed to be Beiming City. In those days, he had recuperated in Beiming City.

The leader of the Beiming Immortal Sect personally visited Shiji.

Shiji explained to the leader of Beiming Immortal Sect why she was unwilling to join the sect.

Because he had already made up his mind to go to the secret realm of the Holy Mountain to search for an opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Therefore, the leader of the Beiming Immortal Sect agreed to Shiji's conditions.

The leader of Bei Ming Immortal Sect even promised Shi Ji that as long as he could break through the Quasi-Emperor realm, he could join the Bei Ming Immortal Sect.

But Shiji did not agree to the leader of Beiming Immortal Sect.

The leader of Bei Ming Immortal Sect was also quite depressed and felt that Shi Ji was ungrateful. However, Shi Ji was a guest he invited after all, so the leader of Bei Ming Immortal Sect did not punish Shi Ji.

"Sir, the Beiming City is just ahead!"

At this time, Li Deren's voice came from the carriage.

Shiji responded indifferently.

There are many caravans in Beiming City, and Shiji's target is a caravan heading south.

He planned to go to Black Sand State in the south of Beiming City.

Over the years, Shiji has gained some understanding of the situation in Tianwu Continent. There are four extremely powerful giant families in the southern continent.

Shiji had inquired about the news and found that these four giant forces seemed to be searching for the traces of the secret realm of the holy mountain.

It is also said that among these four giant forces, there is more than one emperor-level strongman.

However, Shiji had no idea whether there were any quasi-emperor-level strongmen among these forces.

Shiji planned to rest in Beiming City for two days before heading to Heishazhou.

During this period of time, Shiji has been looking for a magical medicine called Jiuyou Grass.

It is rumored that the Jiuyou Grass contains an extremely strange and deadly poison.

Once a cultivator takes the Nine Nether Grass, his soul will be devoured by the Nine Nether Grass, and he will eventually die and his body will rot.

However, although the effect of Jiuyou Grass is terrifying, it also has its limits.

Like the Jiuyou Grass in Shiji's hand, its effect is only to increase the soul strength five times. However, five times the soul strength is already quite amazing.

Moreover, Jiuyou Grass has another use.

That is to be able to condense the Nine Nether Ghost Pearl, which is a precious material for refining the third-level soul-making pill. Shiji had obtained two Nine Nether Grasses before and refined a total of eight Nine Nether Ghost Pearls.

Except for one Nine Nether Ghost Pearl that has been fused, the other seven Nine Nether Ghost Pearls have all been fused.

Shiji estimated that if he could refine the remaining seven Nine Nether Ghost Pearls into third-level soul-building pills, he might be able to break through to the Emperor realm?
But this is obviously an extremely difficult process.

Shiji didn't dare to have too many fantasies.

Because he knew that in order to successfully refine the third-level soul-building pill, an extremely rare immortal medicine was needed.

This was something that even a great alchemy master like his master found difficult to accomplish, let alone a small figure like himself.

Shiji now only hopes to obtain as many precious materials as possible.

Maybe by then we can gather all the precious materials needed to refine the third-level soul-making pill.

Shiji sat in the carriage, quietly waiting for the carriage to enter Beiming City.

There is an inn in Beiming City that is specially designed for people to live in.

After Shiji entered the inn, he asked the innkeeper to arrange a room for him, and then took out the Emperor Blood Stone.

He tried to absorb the energy from the Emperor Blood Stone.

However, Shiji failed. He tried to refine the Emperor Blood Stone again, but the terrifying fluctuations emitted from the Emperor Blood Stone shook his soul as if it was about to break apart.

That feeling is extremely painful.

"This fluctuation is too terrifying, it is impossible to refine it."

Shiji frowned.

If we continue like this, it will not be a long-term solution.

Shiji took out the imperial vein that he had obtained before from the space ring. This imperial vein was a special divine vein bred among the imperial clan.

The energy contained in this divine vein is quite special, and perhaps it can suppress the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the Emperor Blood Stone.

Shiji placed the Emperor's Vein next to the Emperor's Blood Stone.

In an instant, the Emperor's Vein burst into a dazzling light, and the terrifying fluctuations that were originally emitted by the Emperor's Blood Stone were gradually suppressed.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Shiji's lips. It seemed that the Emperor's Vein could indeed suppress the fluctuations of the Emperor's Blood Stone.

Afterwards, Shiji entered seclusion again and began to refine the Emperor Blood Stone.

Time flies, and three months pass in a flash.

Shiji successfully refined all the power in the Emperor Blood Stone, which made him very happy. Now, the terrifying power originally contained in the Emperor Blood Stone has almost been consumed. (End of this chapter)
