The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 77 Jade Talisman
Ding Pei is from the south and is petite. Her long military career has strengthened her physique, but has not had much impact on her figure or... courage. When the two of them looked back, they saw a tiger head staring at them not far away, with curiosity in its eyes.

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

Two simultaneous exclamations rang out, high-pitched and sharp, startling the tiger so much that it jumped back and let out a long roar towards the sky... probably saying, "Scare the tiger to death! These bipeds are not only good at fighting, but their roars are also as good as those of tigers!"

Ding Pei and Shao Hongying shouted for a long time before they stopped. They wanted to run, but their legs were so weak that they couldn't even stand up.

After roaring, the tiger did not move forward, but stood there staring at them curiously, as if it was studying how to eat them.

"Ding Pei, my legs are weak and I can't move. I'll attract its attention, and you go get the gun." Shao Hongying made the bravest decision of her life.

"Reporter Shao, do you think my legs can move? Besides, don't you know that we have no bullets left in our guns?" Ding Pei said with a wry smile.

"Eh!"

Shao Hongying suddenly made a discovery that shocked the world: "Ding Pei, look at that tiger tooth... It's a saber-toothed tiger! A living saber-toothed tiger1"

Ding Pei also looked at Shao Hongying hopefully: "Is it a vegetarian?"

Shao Hongying paused when she heard this and shook her head in frustration… This girl is really bold to ask, she didn’t see the big tooth, is it used to string radishes?
"Tell me, why doesn't it eat us?" After a while, Ding Pei felt that her legs seemed to have regained some strength, and she moved a little closer to Shao Hongying.

"..."

Shao Hongying was speechless... Do you really want it to be eaten quickly?

Just then, a few low roars were heard, and three more saber-toothed tigers came over.

Ruined!
Shao Hongying and Ding Pei suddenly felt hopeless and closed their eyes in despair.

"Is this what you want to show me?"

The voice seemed a little surprised.

Has the saber-toothed tiger become a spirit?

Ding Pei and Shao Hongying opened their eyes at the same time...a girl in samurai costume was looking down at them.

As soon as Ye Muxue arrived at the other side of the lake, she heard tiger roars in the distance. The three saber-toothed tigers left on the shore seemed very excited, so she followed over to see... Unexpectedly, she was given a surprise.

Seeing the two people open their eyes, Ye Muxue looked at them and felt a little strange about the combination of soldiers and civilians: "Just the two of you coming in?"

She did not ask the identities of the two people, but asked if they had any companions.

Ding Pei and Shao Hongying felt greatly relieved when they saw that it was a human being who could communicate with them.

But when he heard Ye Muxue asking his companions, he became depressed again... These two people were also simple-minded, so they told him everything that had happened.

Ye Muxue also sighed after hearing this, and just hoped that most of the soldiers could survive. However, these two people were really lucky to have managed to get here.

"This place is far away from where you came in. You are lucky to be able to get here alive."

Ye Muxue shook her head, "What are your plans?"

Ding Pei and Shao Hongying looked at each other, then looked at Ye Muxue: "Of course we hope to leave this place as soon as possible...but we hope to find our comrades."

"I will look for your comrades... wait here for me while I make some preparations."

Ye Muxue didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, but it was obvious... she couldn't just sit there and watch. As for finding resources... could those people stop her? If she wanted to get the protection of secular power, how could she do it without bleeding?
However, before setting off, she had to refine a batch of ascension jade talismans, otherwise she would be like these two people in front of her and would definitely be a hindrance.

Ye Muxue arranged Ding Pei and Shao Hongying in a cave, leaving some dry food, jerky and the like, as well as a box of matches... In case she didn't come back in time, the four saber-toothed tigers would bring them prey.

Ding Pei and Shao Hongying were reluctant to leave Ye Muxue...it seemed that the next moment after she left, those saber-toothed tigers with fangs would eat them both.

Ye Muxue ignored them and entered the mountain and sea space after leaving the two of them. Although Muxue's residence also had a refining room, she was not used to the refining room there.

Ye Muxue's refining furnace is made of ordinary materials. She used it to refine some small things before. The success rate was about eight or nine out of ten... followed by a percentage sign.

It's not that the inheritance is not enough, but that all her energy is used up on elixirs, formations, and talismans. To her, saving her life and health are the top priorities, and refining equipment is dispensable. Today... I hope it can be more reliable, otherwise even she won't be able to get out.

The materials are ready-made. As for jade, almost any kind of jade can be found. The only difference is that the higher the quality of the carrier, the more stable the performance. But forget about green jade, as that is a building material. It would be difficult for the weapon refiner to make talismans with it.

Ye Muxue sat in front of the furnace with her eyes slightly closed, recalling the inscription in her mind. She went over the refining process several times in her mind. After confirming that it was correct, she turned on the underground fire... and the flames suddenly spread under the refining furnace.

Whether Ye Muxue is refining pills or weapons, she uses earth fire, which is also standard in the world of cultivation... But generally speaking, for a small family or a small sect, it is a luxury to possess earth fire. Based on this point alone, if the mountain and sea space were to be exposed, it would definitely be a treasure that one would have to break one's head to get.

With the help of the mountain and sea space, Ye Muxue can definitely support a small sect or family. If he works hard, it is not impossible to build a medium-sized family.

But in the end, what happens when you have nothing better to do than to get a bunch of villains to plot against you or get a scumbag to disgust you?

Ye Muxue lived a miserable life in her previous life, so in this life she must at least live with ambition and freedom!
Putting aside all the messy thoughts in his mind, Ye Muxue opened the lid of the furnace after the ground fire heated the furnace evenly... In fact, other tasks were easy to do, but the most critical one was engraving the formation restrictions on the jade talisman, especially the 'Ascension Jade Talisman' involved the laws of space, and there could be no mistakes.

The first time I refined it, as expected, something unexpected happened and it failed!

The reason for the failure was that everything went too smoothly, which even surprised her. In her excitement, she ruined the entire batch of materials.

This was due to the two laws she comprehended on the Ladder to Heaven. At that time, she had not yet realized that she had comprehended these two laws. She only thought that she had comprehended two Taoist techniques: mental shock and gravity control.

She had just comprehended these two Taoist arts and was not yet able to unleash their full power. However, if she applied them unexpectedly, it would be enough to cause great harm to the enemy.

However, her insights into spiritual laws clearly went beyond that. Her greater gain was the application and control of her spiritual consciousness, so much so that she smashed the pot in surprise.

With the experience from the first time, Ye Muxue was much calmer this time. Melting the materials... engraving the formation pattern... done!

The furnace lid was opened, and inside were twenty jade talismans as thin as dark wings with cloud patterns on the surface neatly arranged.

Ye Muxue's eyes moved, and the twenty jade talismans fell into her hands as if they were held up by invisible hands... "Well, I've already refined them, so I might as well refine a few more."

She said she was going to refine a few more, but in fact she refined a full 500 until she got tired of it... On the one hand, she would need this thing sooner or later; on the other hand, it was for the trapped soldiers. As for the deeper purpose... Ye Muxue hadn't thought about it yet.

……

Daxinganling, Ginseng Valley.

At this time, many tents had been set up in the valley. Many armed soldiers and police officers had set up layers of security inside and outside the valley. In the tent in the center that served as the command room, Wu Zhengjun and several military cadres were discussing sending the third group of explorers into that strange space.

"Report!" A report voice came from outside the tent, and judging from the panting, it seemed that someone was running.

"Come in." Wu Zhengjun said in a deep voice.

The person who came in was Lao Li, who was one of the people arranged to stay on the periphery.

"Is there any situation?" Wu Zhengjun asked puzzledly.

"Report! Someone came out from inside." Old Li seemed very excited.

"Oh?"

Wu Zhengjun's spirits also lifted. He had been suffering like everyone else these days. After all, those were more than a hundred lives. "Have you confirmed their identities?"

"Yes."

Old Li explained the situation... The soldiers patrolling the periphery rescued these two people from the tusks of a group of wild boars. Their identities have been confirmed. One is called Ding Pei and the other is called Shao Hongying. They both followed the first batch of troops into that space.

Wu Zhengjun frowned: "Why are they outside the valley? Where are the others?"

A soldier asked Lao Li: "Didn't these two come back with you?"

"After seeing the patrolling soldiers, the two female comrades went into shock after just a few words. They have now been sent to the medical tent for emergency treatment." After Lao Li introduced the general situation, he said nothing more.

"Done right."

Wu Zhengjun glanced at the leaders present and said, "I see everyone is in a hurry. Let's go to the medical tent."

Everyone agreed and stood up and walked to the tent with the Red Cross logo. When the medical staff saw a group of leaders coming, a leading doctor briefly introduced the patient's condition... He had been in a tense state these days, and his body could not support it after seeing that he was truly out of danger.

"There's no danger to their lives. I gave them some medicine. They'll wake up in about an hour. If the leader is in a hurry..."

"Need not."

Wu Zhengjun decisively stopped the doctor from waking him up violently, "An hour won't make a difference."

He looked at everyone, "Let's form a team first and wait for departure."

About an hour later, Ding Pei and Shao Hongying woke up one after another. After knowing that their leader had come to see them, they immediately went to the command room to report the situation without even changing their clothes.

Although Shao Hongying's camera was lost, through the descriptions of the two people, Wu Zhengjun and others still understood what they would face after entering.

"You said you met humans in there?" Wu Zhengjun asked.

"Yes. Although she was wearing a training suit, she spoke Mandarin. According to her, if someone enters here without a special jade talisman, they will never be able to get out."

Ding Pei took out the Ascension Jade Talisman and placed it on the table: "When she knew that many of our people were trapped in the secret realm, she asked us to bring them out as soon as possible... When we came out, we used this jade talisman to get out."

Wu Zhengjun picked up a jade talisman, looked at it, and passed it around to everyone... While everyone was looking at it, he asked Ding Pei and Shao Hongying a few questions.

After everyone had passed it around, Wu Zhengjun asked, "Comrade Ding Pei, logically speaking, we have no reason to ask you to go in again. But now you are the only one outside who is most familiar with the situation in there, can you go in again... Of course, you have the right to refuse."

"I obey orders!" Ding Pei answered almost without hesitation.

"Oh? Not afraid?" Wu Zhengjun was surprised.

"Afraid. But as long as I have the jade talisman in my hand, when I encounter deadly danger, I just have to crush it and I can be teleported out in time." Ding Pei replied.

“Oh, it has this function?”

Wu Zhengjun said to a policeman: "This matter must be explained clearly to everyone when the jade talismans are distributed."

"report!"

Shao Hongying suddenly raised her hand.

"Reporter Shao, what do you want?" Wu Zhengjun frowned.

"Please allow me to enter with this team. Also, I want a camera." Shao Hongying said.

……

boom! boom! boom!
It was as if a heavily armed troop was marching out of the desolate valley. Huo Hongbing, who was commanding the team to advance, suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop... Suddenly, there was a roar like thunder at the entrance of the valley, as if the sky and the earth were shaking. Three six-foot-long crocodile-shaped beasts appeared, crawling very fast on their hind legs, running out of the valley like a whirlwind, and pounced on them without hesitation.

"shot!"

At Huo Hongbing's command, all light and heavy weapons opened fire together, and dense bullets whizzed like gusts of wind... But it was of no use. Although their guns were loaded with armor-piercing bullets, they did not seem to have much killing power against these crocodile-like beasts. Although blood gushed out of their bodies, they still rushed forward tenaciously, and their speed did not slow down!

"Rocket launcher ready to fire." Huo Hongbing ordered in a deep voice.

At this moment, a cold light suddenly lit up, and the three crocodile-shaped beasts, which were moving forward, suddenly stopped as if someone had suddenly pulled their reins... Then, driven by the cold light, the three crocodile-shaped beasts retreated step by step until their figures disappeared from the valley entrance. The cold light suddenly shrank and turned into a flying rainbow that flew behind them.

Huo Hongbing felt something and immediately turned around...only to see a colorful saber-toothed tiger walking out of the forest.

There was a series of loud noises of bolts being pulled, and the soldiers and police immediately pointed their guns at the saber-toothed tiger!
"Don't be nervous, we are one of us!"

Huo Hongbing had already seen clearly... on the back of the saber-toothed tiger, was riding the expected person - Ye Muxue!

"Comrade Ye, thank you very much for your help!" Huo Hongbing stepped forward and thanked him.

"Nothing. Just a hand lift."

She paused and said, "These prehistoric beasts are endangered species. If you don't have to, don't kill them."

"How did you find us?"

The team set up camp, Ye Muxue did not leave, and Huo Hongbing finally asked the question that had been puzzling him for a long time.

Ye Muxue told him about Ding Pei and Shao Hongying, and gave him seventy jade talismans... She gave them based on the number of people.

"Comrade Huo..."

Ye Muxue was just about to explain the purpose of the jade talisman when she suddenly heard a tiger roar outside.
