Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 156 Mysterious Bone Finger and Heavenly Dew
"Is using a spirit talisman the only option?" Su You frowned deeply. "If we could control it..."

Dream Butterfly Mirror!
Su You immediately thought of the Dream Butterfly Mirror that he had always overlooked.

Although he always used the Dream Butterfly Mirror as a support magic weapon, it still possesses a certain degree of offensive capability.

After all, it is a magical artifact of the Illusion Path, and it is very powerful in terms of illusion techniques.

Although the Dream Butterfly Mirror is only half repaired, it can still deal with a fifth-tier corpse demon, especially a demon that doesn't have much intelligence and only retains some instinctive consciousness.

After waiting for a while, when the spatial passage at the base of the Heavenly Vine reopened, Su You quickly entered the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Using the Dream Butterfly Mirror this time was not as simple as before.

Although the Dream Butterfly Mirror is a ninth-tier magic weapon, it has not been fully repaired and cannot transmit power to the sub-mirror. The only way is to use the spatial transfer ability to swap the positions of the Dream Butterfly sub-mirror and the main body.

Inside the Dream Butterfly Mirror, the spiritual liquid in the Yuanqi Pool burned wildly.

The ability to teleport one's own body is not comparable to teleporting other items; it requires an extremely large amount of energy.

In a short time, it burned up all the spiritual liquid that Su You had absorbed and gathered over the previous year.

No wonder the Yuanqi Pool has its own huge space inside; the spiritual liquid he usually pours in doesn't even occupy one millionth of the internal space.

To fill such a huge space, it's unknown how long it would take to accumulate enough vital energy, or perhaps only by repairing this vital energy pool can it be done gradually.

In the blink of an eye, time and space shift.

Su You successfully returned to the secret realm with the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Swish!
A beam of dark blue light shot out from the Dream Butterfly Mirror and landed directly on the Corpse Demon in front of it.

The once frenzied corpse demon seemed to have fallen asleep, remaining still and silent.

Receive!
The Dream Butterfly Mirror turned, and a beam of white light swept down.

They directly took this corpse demon into the Dream Butterfly World.

Su You looked around and gazed into the distance at the central region, which was less than 30,000 miles away. That was the origin of the demonic energy and the origin of the anomaly in this secret realm.

Although he was curious and wanted to explore the Dream Butterfly Mirror since he had it, he hesitated for a moment and then gave up.

Although the Dream Butterfly Mirror is powerful, it is not invincible.

If he were to perish here, the Dream Butterfly Mirror would be lost here.

Space teleportation is not a panacea. If space is completely sealed off there, Su You, after being resurrected, will not be able to teleport back in and bring back the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

It's better to go out first and then come back to explore; at worst, you'll die a few more times.

After the spatial shift, the Dream Butterfly Mirror returned to its original location, and Su You continued to teleport back.

This exploration was not as easy as I had imagined.

However, after exploring a distance of five thousand miles, his cocoon's protection was breached.

After being resurrected, Su You easily took the storage ring from the corpse demon's hand.

There were quite a few things inside, including some of considerable value, but the most important item was the azure metal box, which was what the Lord of Green Jade City had asked him to take back.

Taking out the iron box, Su You carefully scanned it with his spiritual energy and roughly understood its purpose.

Judging from his fairly good experience in weapon crafting, this iron box should be a sealing magic weapon, presumably used to seal the strange object within the secret realm.

The crafting technique for this magical artifact is simple, but the materials used are of very high quality, made from at least seventh-grade spirit ore. Furthermore, it has undergone meticulous refinement and possesses considerable power.

Although this magical artifact was quite good, Su You didn't see much use for it and thought it would be better to exchange it for the second-generation Heavenly Vine seed.

Having obtained the items, Su You did not intend to deliver them immediately; he wanted to try that secret realm a few more times.

If there's no other way, then hand over this sealed treasure.

As for this fifth-tier corpse demon, it can be considered a top-grade treasure. If used to refine a demonic corpse puppet, it would definitely be a top-grade material.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any high-level demonic cultivators under his command, so he could only temporarily place them in a Yin vein and suppress them with the sect's eighth-order grand formation.

Whether they learn the art of refining corpse puppets or use other methods to enslave them, they will be considered formidable combat power.

……

Three years later.

As soon as Su You stepped into the secret realm, countless demonic plants pierced through his body.
With each breath, a thick cocoon forms on the skin.

It could be said that he had died several times in a very short period of time.

However, the cocoon defense is not omnipotent; he has now penetrated to within a thousand miles of the core.

The demonic plant inside possessed fifth-tier power with a mere wave of its hand, easily capable of destroying his physical body.

Each time he dies and is reborn, and then re-enters the world, he can only advance a very short distance.

He died hundreds of times before slowly grinding his way to his current position.

When Su You was inside the demonic plant, he strained his eyes to look into the distance and finally saw what was inside for the first time.

A black bone finger floated in the sky, continuously emitting waves of demonic energy.

The essence of this demonic energy is extremely high, and it is constantly gushing forth. No wonder the demonic plants here are so powerful and can regenerate endlessly.

Click!

With just one glance, Su You's eyes exploded, and his spiritual sea was completely annihilated.

"What terrifying power! What exactly is that?" Su You was still shaken.

Although you won't die, the feeling of dying instantly from just one glance must be unpleasant.

"This secret realm is too complicated. Anyway, I've already completed the mission and received the reward, that's enough." Su You directly abandoned the plan to continue exploring the secret realm.

He has a clear understanding of his own strength. Even though he is now immortal, he still needs to be cautious when necessary.

The power of that mysterious bone finger was too great. Su You judged that it was definitely a bone finger left behind by a demon immortal. After all, he had controlled a ninth-order magic weapon, so he had some judgment on the level of this power.

This is something he can't afford to touch right now. If the Dream Butterfly Mirror is fully repaired, or if his strength increases by one or two more major realms, he might consider it.

With the sealed magic artifact in hand, Su You returned to the world of the Heavenly Vine.

This time, Su You was teleported into the secret realm once again.

However, the destination is no longer the center of the secret realm, but the edge of it, where Su You also left behind a Dream Butterfly Mirror, which will now come in handy.

Once back here, all he needs to do is attack the spatial barrier at the edge, and someone will come to pick him up and help him leave.

However, before leaving, Su You needed to do one more thing: venture inside once more. This time, it wasn't for exploration, but to die a few times inside and reduce his physical cultivation to the first rank.

It's important to know that this secret realm mission has been going on for a very long time, and no one has been able to complete it yet, even among those whose strength and talent far surpass Su You's.

Once he leaves the secret realm with the quest items, he will definitely attract attention.

If they leave unharmed, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

The best way is to leave in his current state of greatly diminished cultivation. Even if asked about it later, he can blame it on his talent and secret techniques.

After completing the cocoon state, Su You quickly returned to the edge, then deactivated the cocoon state and violently struck the spatial barrier with his magic.

……

The top leaves of the Heavenly Vine reach the heavens, the Demon Realm's Secret Realm.

Upon seeing the tremors at the edge of the secret realm, the guards immediately notified their superiors.

"Still alive? Could it be that he's been too scared to go in?" one of the guards guessed.

Indeed, they have been guarding this secret realm for many years, and far too many cultivators have perished within it.

Of course, most of them were elderly cultivators who entered the secret realm at the end of their lives to make a final gamble and earn last resources for their families and sects.

Another group consisted of some gifted young cultivators who had also entered the secret realm, but only dared to stay in the outermost area, pretending to stay for a few days before leaving.

"It's unlikely. This guy has been inside for several years. It's not like he's putting on a show. He probably realized the danger was too great and came back halfway through," another guard judged.

As for successfully retrieving the item, they hadn't even considered it.

After all, even those experts at the peak of the fourth level of dual cultivation of body and magic were unable to bring anything out after entering.

Su You, a cultivator with only the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage and whose body refinement was not even above the mid-stage of the fourth rank, had a very low chance of bringing anything out.

After waiting for a while in the secret realm, Su You felt a force pulling him.

He did not resist, but directly followed this force, broke through the spatial barrier, and left the secret realm.

"Huh?" The patriarch of the Green Vine Clan looked at Su You and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You brought the things out?"

As soon as Su You was pulled out, the spirit disc at his waist started to spin. This spirit disc was specially made to locate and seal magical treasures, and it could be sensed even through the storage ring.

"Yes, senior." Su You respectfully took out the magic weapon and handed it over.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Green Xiao held the sealed magic weapon in his hand, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was the one that had been lost inside.

Then, with satisfaction, he said, "Good job, little guy."

He only now realized that this human boy's physical cultivation had dropped to the first level, obviously due to the use of some secret technique that had caused such great damage to his physical body.

Seeing this, Lü Xiao gently waved his hand, and a jade bottle and a dark green seed slowly fell into his hand.

"This second-generation Heavenly Vine seed is your reward for this mission. I hope you will take good care of it in the future. In addition, this bottle of Heaven and Earth Spirit Dew is the essence of the sun and moon condensed at the top of the Heavenly Vine. It can help you recover your physical body as soon as possible. Consider it my personal reward to you."

After giving out the reward, Lü Xiao hurriedly left.

Now that the sealed treasure has been brought back, the long-planned scheme must begin as soon as possible.

After all, the Demon Heaven Secret Realm is pressing down on the core of the Heavenly Vine, causing damage to it at all times. The sooner it is completed, the sooner the Heavenly Vine can be restored.

After accepting the reward, Su You did not linger. He directly used the Green Vine Clan's transmission system to teleport to another Ye Tian, ​​and then quietly used the Dream Butterfly Mirror to teleport away.

He suddenly realized that it seemed that in the world of the Heavenly Vine, especially on the Heavenly Vine itself, the power of spatial teleportation had always been forbidden, and only the Dream Butterfly Mirror could still exert the ability of teleportation.

If you were to run a teleportation business here, it would definitely be a very lucrative business.

However, this would directly provoke the Green Vine Clan, since this is the clan's mainstay industry.

Moreover, he no longer had enough manpower to maintain the teleportation business.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of these unrealistic thoughts, Su You finally had time to check the rewards.

Besides the second-generation seed he requested, he was given other rewards, which was truly unexpected.

Upon opening the jade bottle, a surge of vitality suddenly emanated from its mouth.

"Such powerful vitality! It truly is a treasure for restoring the physical body, but I can't use it right now." Su You nodded in satisfaction.

Once he gets back, he will die and be reborn, which is the best way to recover.

Even the best remedy can't compare to a complete recovery.

He put the cork back in; he had already found a use for this bottle of Heaven and Earth Dew.

He definitely wouldn't take it; this bottle of spiritual dew wouldn't have much effect on him at his peak.

On the contrary, using it to water the seeds of the Heavenly Vine can be quite useful, since the Heavenly Dew contains powerful vitality, which is helpful for the growth of spiritual roots.

After ten months of waiting by the branching vines, the portal to the space reopened, and Su You returned with his bountiful harvest.

Entering the world of the Heavenly Vine this time can be considered as having completed the mission objective.

Upon returning to the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, the first thing Su You did was to put the Dream Butterfly Mirror back into the academy.

Within the cultivation academy, the Trial Tower may be unnecessary, but the auxiliary abilities of the Dream Butterfly Space are indispensable.

This ability significantly reduced the training cost for deputy positions, helping him to quickly discover all kinds of talents.

After getting the academy back on track, Su Youcai came to the East Sea and entered the Wizard Tower.

The seeds of the Sky-reaching Vine are one of the most important treasures in the Wizard Tower, which he deduced and refined as a magical artifact of his sect.

With the Heavenly Vine present, the various levels of space within the Wizard's Tower can be perfectly integrated.

Bring the Sky-Piercing Vine to the lowest level of the Wizard's Tower.

Su You had prepared a very thick layer of soil in this space beforehand, all of which was constructed from the highest grade of spiritual soil.

After carefully planting the seeds, slowly pour in the Heaven and Earth Dew, drop by drop.

The second-generation Tongtian Vine seeds already had perfect genes, and Su You couldn't improve them for the time being, so he planted them directly.

Nourished by the spiritual dew of heaven and earth, the seed soon began to take root and sprout.

The main vine climbed straight upwards until it touched the barrier of this secret space, at which point it slowed down.

Penetrating the existing spatial barriers is not so simple; it requires accumulating strength for a while.
