Chapter 421

The so-called "Spirit-Sealing Pillar" is actually a giant magic tool specifically used by ancient cultivators to seal the spiritual energy in the vicinity and completely isolate the leakage of spiritual energy. Net

And this kind of rare magic tool is usually used for two purposes.

One is to seal some kind of extremely rare spiritual medicine or spiritual grass, preventing its spiritual energy from leaking and causing it to lose its spiritual nature, which is why they would be willing to spend such a large sum.

The other is to suppress some formidable ghost-spirit-type monsters, which also uses this object to prevent them from changing and escaping.

These two purposes, no matter which one, represent that this discovery by Han Li and the others is no small matter.

Not to mention the spiritual medicine, even if what the Spirit-Sealing Pillar is suppressing is truly some kind of fierce ghost, it is the best material for capturing and imprisoning it into a magic treasure after subduing it, which can enhance the power of the magic treasure.

However, they also understood in their hearts that since it could use a Spirit-Sealing Pillar to suppress a ghost-demon, it must be no small matter. It is also possible that after they go in, instead of subduing the demon, they will be countered by the monster.

Therefore, after looking at each other for a few times, although they showed expressions of surprise and joy, no one rashly proposed to push down this pillar immediately to see.

After a long silence, Jin Qing finally gave a bitter smile and muttered a sentence.

"This time, it's really a bit of a headache! However, having spent so much effort, no one will turn around and leave, right?"

"You can leave if you want, but I will definitely not leave! Not to mention that there might not be any monsters inside, even if there were, I would try to subdue them." The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian said coldly with his hands behind his back.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, what do you think?" Jin Qing smiled slightly and said nothing, then turned his face to ask Hu Yue.

"Fellow Daoist also knows. Because we loose cultivators are unwilling to be restrained by others, although we live relatively freely, we are much poorer compared to other cultivators of the same rank. It's rare to have this opportunity, so I must give it a try!" Hu Yue pondered for a while before deciding.

Hearing this, Jin Qing did not show any surprise and looked at Han Li again.

"I don't care. If most people are willing to explore, I will also take a look." Han Li raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

He had the "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords" refined from seventy-two Heavenly Thunder Bamboo; why would he be afraid of any monsters or ghosts?

"Don't ask me. Although I only have Foundation Establishment cultivation, I happen to have a demon-warding magic treasure given by my father, so even if I am not a match, I will definitely have no problem protecting myself." Shi Die tilted her head and said proactively before Jin Qing could ask her.

"Alright! Since all fellow Daoists are unwilling to return empty-handed, let's push down this pillar! However, everyone should be more careful!" Jin Qing sighed lightly and said cautiously.

"Hehe! You don't need to tell us that, Fellow Daoist Jin; everyone won't joke with their own lives. However, I'll say this first: if there really is any fierce ghost or monster, it will belong to whoever subdues it; no fighting over it." The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian's eyes flickered with strange light as he spoke slowly.

"Of course. If there is such a thing, it will naturally be subdued by each person's ability." Jin Qing expressed his stance without opposition.

The others naturally had no different opinions.

Seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Brother Jian felt his spirit lift and showed a few traces of joy.

"Why, Fellow Daoist Brother Jian, do you have any special methods for subduing demons, to be so confident?" Shi Die glanced at him sideways and asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"This... I won't hide it from you fellow Daoists, the cultivation technique I practice does have a divine ability specifically for dealing with ghosts and demons. I thought I wouldn't use it in this lifetime, but I didn't expect I could give it a try today." The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian hesitated slightly before nodding and admitting it.

"The black skull used by the monster that Fellow Daoist Han eliminated just now seemed to be something refined by a demon; Fellow Daoist Brother Jian seemed to be dealing with it quite strenuously?" This Lady Shi showed a look of disbelief again.

"Cough! Let Lady Shi laugh at me. This divine ability of mine requires some preparation before it can be used. I was caught off guard when facing that monster, which is why I was so embarrassed." The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian scratched his head and explained somewhat awkwardly.

Hearing this, Shi Die nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned her head to look at the Spirit-Sealing Pillar again.

"Since all fellow Daoists are unwilling to let go, let's do it! Pushing down this Spirit-Sealing Pillar is a bit troublesome; it must be rotated a few times with great force before it can be pushed down." Shi Die explained with a bit of excitement.

The others heard this and looked at each other in dismay.

Although they were cultivators, they didn't really have much strength; even with a Giant Strength Talisman, they probably couldn't move this giant stone pillar that was several people thick.

Seeing this situation, Han Li frowned and secretly gave an order in his heart.

"Let me do it; I happen to have some strength." Qu Hun stood out and said in a deep voice, then walked toward the stone pillar.

Hu Yue and the others showed expressions of surprise.

After all, Qu Hun had rarely spoken since arriving here. Now that he had taken the initiative to take on this matter, they were a bit surprised.

"Then I will trouble Fellow Daoist Qu." Shi Die said curiously.

But Qu Hun seemed not to hear, walked to the stone pillar in a few big strides, yellow light flashed on his body, and he applied a Giant Strength Talisman to himself.

Then, he rolled up his sleeves, shouted loudly, and hugged the stone pillar with both hands.

The stone pillar, about two zhang high, emitted a rumbling vibration sound and began to rotate bit by bit.

Seeing this, the others were overjoyed.

Qu Hun's two arms were bulging with muscles, and he was vaguely covered in red light. After rotating the stone pillar three times, he pushed it fiercely to one side, and then his body darted backward suddenly.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the stone pillar fell to one side, making the ground tremble slightly and smashing out a deep groove, showing that this stone pillar was indeed extremely heavy.

But the group did not pay attention to the stone pillar, but all looked at the large hole that suddenly appeared on the ground after the Spirit-Sealing Pillar collapsed.

This hole was pitch-black, with cold wind blowing out, and a small white stone staircase led deep into the ground.

"Let's go!" The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian looked at the hole for a while and walked down without a word.

The other few hesitated for a moment and followed closely. By this time, naturally, no one would want to retreat.

Han Li watched the cultivators walk into the hole one by one with expressions of excitement, but he stood in place and did not move immediately. He held his chin with one hand and showed a look of thought.

He suddenly flipped his hand and took out the red-glowing scroll, playing with it in his hand.

After a while, a look of thought appeared in his eyes, and he put the object away and walked toward the hole.

Qu Hun also followed him down.

The hole was very deep. After walking for a full quarter of an hour, Han Li reached the end of the stone staircase.

His eyes brightened, and a square hall more than twenty zhang in size appeared before him.

Besides the entrance they came from, the hall had two semicircular side doors on the left and right, leading to unknown places. The ceiling of the hall was inlaid with several night-luminescent pearls the size of a fist, illuminating the place in a milky white color, while the surrounding walls were dotted with stars, seemingly having some spell cast upon them, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

And Hu Yue and the others who had gone down first were standing in the middle of the hall, motionless, staring in the same direction, whispering to each other from time to time, seemingly studying something.

Han Li's curiosity was greatly aroused, and he walked over in a few steps.

"This is?" Upon seeing clearly what everyone was looking at, Han Li showed an expression of surprise.

He saw a skeleton as white as jade lying half-reclined beside a small pool, with a green small arrow a foot long nailed into its skull, pinning its head firmly to the ground, appearing extremely eerie.

But the gazes of the group did not linger on the skeleton for long, instead focusing excitedly on a three-colored lotus in the pool.

Although this lotus had not yet bloomed and was just a flower bud, it was already the size of a bowl and emitted green, red, and yellow radiance.

What was even more unbelievable was that a few inches above the lotus, a small and exquisite seven-colored rainbow appeared out of thin air, flashing and shining, extremely gorgeous.

Even the pool water supporting the lotus was not the clear water usually seen, but a kind of extremely viscous white "milk liquid," emitting a pungent and strange fragrance.

"Seven-Colored Lotus! No mistake, it is definitely this object. I thought this was a rumor in legends, but I didn't expect it to really exist. That pool water... could it be the legendary Millennium Stone Milk?" Hu Yue muttered with wide eyes.

"No wonder so many formation restrictions were arranged above, and it was sealed with a Spirit-Sealing Pillar! If I had these two things, I wouldn't mind arranging ten more layers of restrictions." Shi Die stared at the lotus without blinking, her face full of intoxication.

"However, whose skeleton is this? Could it be the owner of this cave dwelling?" Jin Qing seemed to have awakened from the shock, looked at the skeleton, and asked somewhat strangely.

"Why bother with that? We've made a fortune this time! Although this Seven-Colored Lotus only has three colors, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price at an auction house." The cultivator surnamed Brother Jian said directly without looking back, his eyes full of greed.
