Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

"This tree is strong and heavy. Its trunk is like black iron and its leaves are black. It is the Black Dragon Wood. It can not only be used as medicine to make pills, but also has great effects on hard skills masters. It can also be used to make weapons."

"The orchid with a body like a blood diamond is a blood orchid. It can produce blood and strengthen blood energy!"

"Wow, there's even star grass. Let me count the leaves. Nine! This is useful for masters of the Ninth Realm. Xiao Qin, this thing can be used as a medicinal ingredient for you to refine the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill' to help you enter the Eighth Realm of Marrow Cleansing."

Following the two elders, Chen Ku finally broadened his horizons. He saw all kinds of precious herbs, all of which went into the pockets of the three of them.

But Qin Yuxian frowned and said, "Logically speaking, such a large medicinal garden shouldn't have only these few precious herbs?"

Although the precious herbs they encountered on the road were of high quality and very precious, this was a medicinal garden. Shouldn't there be tracts of precious herbs here?

"Hmm? There's a side hall ahead, let's go take a look."

The three of them came to the side hall at the end of the medicine garden, and saw three large characters written on the side hall:

"Seed Storage Hall"

"The Seed Storage Hall, sounds like a hall for storing various seeds in the medicine garden." Chen Ku immediately checked his memory and said, "Found it. This is one of the five treasure halls in the Xia Wang Underground Palace. It is where all the seeds of the 'precious precious herbs and spiritual medicines' that the Xia Wang Pei Dongliu looted from Hongjing City are hidden."

"No wonder! I was wondering why there are only so many precious herbs in such a large medicine garden. It turns out that they are all stored here as seeds." Qin Yu nodded first: "Yes, this underground palace is not suitable for the growth of most spiritual herbs. It is also a blessing that the precious herbs and spiritual herbs we met on the road can grow."

Chen Ku watched Shan Lingguan prepare to enter the palace and immediately reminded him:

"Master, be careful. According to the description on the map, this hall is guarded by a dangerous formation!"

"Big formation?"

Shan Lingguan looked solemnly at the hall in front of him. As he had just witnessed eight-level fish and dragons in a pond, he no longer dared to underestimate any arrangement here.

But you have to try it to know.

He sneered and asked Chen Ku and Qin Yu to step back first, preparing to use all his strength to attack the palace door first.

woohoo~~
However, the aura of Shan Lingguan continued to grow. Five silver electric snakes began to move between his five fingers, and he used all the Five Thunder Jue to strike the gate at once.

I saw five bolts of lightning flying out of Shan Lingguan's hands and turning into five thunder dragons, which then rushed towards the door like electric spears.

Suddenly, the two bronze beast-swallowing door knockers at the entrance of the hall suddenly opened their eyes, and then opened their bronze mouths respectively, and actually swallowed all of Shan Lingguan's Five Thunder Jue into their stomachs in one gulp.

Crunch!

Then the two beasts swallowed the door knockers and chewed the lightning, then their eyes were cold and they made a loud voice:
"No one is allowed to enter the Seed Storage Palace without the king's order. Those who disobey will be killed!"

The moment he finished speaking, he turned the two balls of lightning that he had just swallowed into six balls, which smashed towards Chen Ku, Qin Yuxian, and Shan Lingguan respectively.

"not good!"

Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan saw this and both stepped forward. They immediately used all their strength to protect Chen Ku behind them.

Just by feeling, they knew that the lightning that was counterattacked was not only as powerful as that of Shan Lingguan's attack, but also had more power.

It was equivalent to being attacked by three single spiritual officials at the same time in an instant.

Click! Click! Click!

In an instant, Shan Lingguan was surrounded by colorful colors, the Golden Light Technique was activated, and he pinched the wind and thunder in his hands to withstand three lightning bolts. Qin Yuxian also performed the God-Shaking Technique, pinched a small golden hammer in his hand, and hit it with one hammer, resisting the other three lightning bolts.

boom!
Although Chen Ku activated the Golden Light Technique at the first moment, he was still blown away dozens of feet by the residual power of the formation.

Then he stood still.

However, he saw traces of blood on the corners of the mouths of the two elders, Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian. Chen Ku was horrified and asked, "Is the beast that swallows the door knocker so powerful?"

"What a great job! They actually turned the two 'Beast Swallowing Essence' into the core of the guardian formation. Not only can they rebound attacks, but they also multiply the power." Shan Lingguan grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood. "It seems that without the 'token' mentioned by the beast swallowing door knocker, we can't enter this hall."

"A beast swallowing sperm?" Chen Ku supported his master and said, "The door knocker has become a spirit?"

"You have indeed never seen such a thing in Baojiao County. All things in the world include not only demons but also various spirits. When nourished by spiritual energy, evil energy, bad luck, and bad luck, they will become spirits and monsters. This beast swallowing spirits is the door knocker becoming a spirit, and it is not an ordinary door knocker." Shan Lingguan took a deep breath and said, "If I am not mistaken, this pair of door knockers is probably the door knockers of the main hall of a palace in the Great Hong Dynasty, or even the door knockers of the main hall where the old Hong Emperor lives. They are so powerful because they are nourished."

"Token?" Chen Kuze thought to himself, "In the Xu family's memory, there is no mention of any token."

"It seems that we can only go to the 'General Hall' first and get the formation-control stone, then maybe we can enter these halls." Qin Yu said first.

The three of them simply took a breath and were led by Chen Ku to the main hall among the many halls.

Walk through a corridor.

Before reaching the main hall, a vermilion hall was seen in front of us. It rose from the ground, with a total of eighty-eight steps. The guardrails on both sides were carved with magical beasts.

Toshan Temple!
"This is the main hall of the Heavenly King Xiongying who holds the mountain." Chen Ku said, "There are three more such halls on the map, namely the Jingshen Hall, the Pijia Hall, and the Sheyue Hall."

"That's right." Shan Lingguan nodded: "Thinking back then, the four heavenly kings under the chivalrous king were these four."

The Heavenly King who supports mountains, the Heavenly King who shocks gods, the Heavenly King who is armed with armor, and the Heavenly King who holds the moon.

"Behind this Tuoshan Palace is the Xia Wang Palace of Xia Wang Pei Dongliu." Chen Ku recalled the map: "That's how it's drawn on the map, but..."

He looked behind the hall:

"For some reason, I can't see any trace of the Xia Wang Palace behind this hall?"

"Let's go to the main hall first."

Qin Yu spoke first.

But at this time.

Huhuhuhu~~~
In the square not far from the hall, clouds and mist suddenly rolled up, as if turning this place into a beautiful scenery in the clouds.

"Master Qin!"

A gentle voice came from the clouds, saying:

"I was wondering who could be faster than this county magistrate, but I didn't expect that he is a master... Eh..."

Hi see,

The mist spread in all directions, but did not dissipate. Instead, it enveloped the surroundings of Tuoshan Hall like a wall. Shangguan Yun, Sui You and Xu Minjun appeared 20 to 30 feet away from Chen Ku and the other two.

Qin Yu first took a serious look at the clouds spreading around them, and instinctively felt that there were powerful formation restrictions in these clouds.

"The Cloud Drop Formation, one of the Eight Shocking Divine Formations!" Shan Lingguan also narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone actually has mastered such a formation."

Qin Yu first looked at Shangguan Yun and said calmly, "It turned out to be Lord Shangguan. Baojiao City was destroyed in the outside world, but you, the county magistrate, were not in the city. I didn't expect that you would appear in this underground palace."

"Isn't it the same for the Grandmaster?"

Shangguan Yun looked at Qin Yuxian, mainly at Chen Ku behind Qin Yuxian, took a deep breath, and said:

"But what I didn't expect was that you could actually get ahead of us. You know, this underground palace was built by the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu, who ordered the King of Mountain Xiongying to bring 100,000 civilians, and gathered the masters of the Tiangong Mansion and many formation masters. It took three years to build it. Without the map of the underground palace, even I can only move in with the help of formations. But you three can get here directly? Could it be..."

"It's also good luck."

Qin Yu did not respond first, not wanting to expose his junior brother's secret to others. Instead, he found some key information in Shangguan Yun's words and asked back calmly:
"It sounds like Lord Shangguan is very familiar with the Xia Wang's underground palace. He knows everything about it. Could it be that... Lord Shangguan is actually the descendant of the Xia Wang back then?"

Shangguan Yun smiled and did not comment.

His eyes were cautious, mainly looking at Shan Lingguan behind Qin Yuxian. He could feel that the old man, who was taller than Qin Yuxian, had unfathomable strength.

Qin Yuxian is already a formidable warrior at the peak of the seventh realm. If this great master were to use his full strength, even an expert at the eighth realm would have to retreat.

If we add the old man beside him who doesn't know his own limits...

Even Shangguan Yun, who had a seventh-level guardian sword puppet by his side and could preside over the Yunchui Formation, did not want to tear his face off directly, so he smiled faintly and said:

"There is one thing that Grandmaster guessed correctly. It was I who released the news of this underground palace. The purpose was very simple. Even if it was only a quarter of the palace treasures left by a great chivalrous king and a great power in the fifteenth realm, it was not something that a mere Shangguan Yun could take all by himself, not to mention the numerous traps and mechanisms in the palace. That's why I, Shangguan, wanted to invite heroes from all over the world to explore this place with me. Since... Grandmaster and I have the fate to meet in front of the Tuoshan Palace, how about exploring it together?"

"Joint investigation?" Chen Ku stared at Xu Minjun behind Shangguan Yun. He had a feeling that as long as his Qilin Blood Gu was used, he could control Xu Minjun.

"Sir Shangguan is very capable. He can even master the Yunchui Formation and use it for his own benefit."

Qin Yu first felt the pressure of the surrounding array patterns, then spoke indifferently:
"You have trapped us with this formation. You are no longer inviting us to explore together, but forcing us to explore with you, right? What if we don't want to?"

Shan Lingguan squinted at Shangguan Yun and said, "You think a large formation can trap us? Why don't you try it?"

"I wouldn't dare! I absolutely wouldn't dare!"

Shangguan Yun took a few steps back and said with a smile:
"I am only inviting you. If you agree, that's fine. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Please leave and we will go explore."

Having said that, he took Xu Minjun and Sui You and walked directly towards the Tuoshan Palace.

"Let's see first." Shan Lingguan gently reminded: "See what tricks he plays."

Chen Kuze's attention was focused on Xu Minjun. He knew very well that the reason why Shangguan Yun had so much intelligence information was probably related to Xu Minjun.

In other words, Xu Minjun is a special sword in Shangguan Yun's hand.

If the other party has other intentions, he only needs to break the sword in the other party's hand first to ensure the safety of himself and others.

Shangguan Yun climbed up the stairs and glanced at Chen Ku and the other two in the distance.

Then he looked at Xu Minjun and said softly, "Minjun, the hall will be opened in a while. If the Xiongying ancestor appears, he will definitely help you. You know how to help us eliminate the threat, right?"

Sui You also looked at the three people, then looked at Shangguan Yun, thinking:

"If Miss Minjun's memory is correct, then this Tuoshan Palace must contain some of the works of the former Tuoshan Heavenly King Xiongying. Whether it is inheritance or imprint, even if it is just a trace, it can easily kill those people outside."

What a great master Qin Yuxian is, he is nothing in front of the King of Toushan Xiongying who lived more than a hundred years ago.

But see,

Shangguan Yun brought Xu Minjun to the front of the hall, holding a token in his hand and pointing at the hall:
"I, Shangguan Yun, and my wife, Xu Minjun, come to pay respect to the ancestors of the Xu family. Please open the hall!"

"Huh? Token!" In the distance, Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan's expressions suddenly changed.

They had experienced the difficulty of not being able to enter the Seed Storage Hall because they did not have this token. Unexpectedly...

Shangguan Yun actually has...

They immediately felt something was wrong, but then they saw a cloud of mist that seemed to have been prepared for their actions, directly blocking them and Shangguan Yun at the entrance of the hall.

The next moment!
The gate of the Natuoshan Temple opened, and a strong wind blew out from inside the gate, causing the gate to shake violently.

Hula la~~
Shangguan Yun, Xu Minjun, and Sui You stood at the door, their clothes fluttering. They suddenly saw a majestic sculpture standing nine feet tall in the hall. After sensing the blood of the descendants outside the hall door, a majestic voice came from the hall:
"As descendants of Qilin, our bloodline is endless. Heaven is very lucky. Those who can reach this point can obtain a drop of my 'true blood' and be awarded the rank of major general, so that they can start a great cause in the future!"

Shangguan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he saw a ball of light flying out from the center of the eyebrows of the nine-meter-tall sculpture and floating towards them.

It fell in front of Xu Minjun, and in it was a drop of golden blood with terrifying and powerful oppression.

A drop of true blood of the Fourteenth Realm Heavenly King of Mount Toushan!

This is not only blood, but also the complete bloodline inheritance of the Xu family, which must contain the inheritance of the magical skill "The Divine Art of Shaking the Heaven and the Earth".

There is also the rank of major general.

"Minjun, accept it." Shangguan Yun's lips trembled and asked Xu Minjun to accept it first.

boom!
Unexpectedly, just when he asked Xu Minjun to accept the three things, the Xiongying sculpture made a loud voice again:

"You are a young man with extraordinary talent, which makes me happy. I specially present you with three drops of 'true blood', one drop of 'soul blood', a volume of mental skills, and also confer the rank of major general of the Tuoshan Army."

Shangguan Yun was shocked.

Was it because he purified the Qilin bloodline in Xu Minjun's body that he was actually called a 'superb talent' in his mouth, and he wanted to give her three drops of true blood and one drop of soul blood...

Soul blood? !!!
If true blood is just the memory of bloodline inheritance, then soul blood is the inheritance of the soul essence of King Tuoshan. I'm afraid that back then, only his own son had obtained it.

Wait, Shangguan Yun suddenly found something wrong.

Because he discovered that the second ball of light that appeared from Xiong Ying's brows, once it appeared, did not float towards them, but floated directly over their heads.

He fell into the clouds and mist that he had created with the Cloud Formation. (End of this chapter)
