Chapter 574: Ten Not Surviving One

Now he also reacted a bit; just now Song Junxue said that the final treasure would be up to each person's own ability.

It must be because she was very confident in her own strength, which was why she said such things.

This allowed Lin Zhangqing to instantly clear his thoughts and confirm that Song Junxue was a formidable opponent.

However, he still couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Song, is this Heavenly Mechanism Mansion yours? Could it be that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

Song Junxue shook her head and smiled lightly: "I am not a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; it's just that my ancestor did indeed have some connection with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion! This Heavenly Mechanism Mansion was also borrowed from family elders for me to use for a period of time because I needed to go out!

Fortunately, with this Heavenly Mechanism Mansion yesterday, which has a Third-Tier Spirit-Gathering Array set up on it, I wasn't discovered by the army ants; otherwise, I would have been in a precarious situation!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said nothing more; with a Third-Tier Spirit-Gathering Array here, there must be other Third-Tier formations, making it the safest place in the secret realm!

Eight people entered a living room to rest, and Song Junxue, as the host, was making tea for everyone.

Watching her elegant movements, Lin Zhangqing thought of Chen Ziya; it had been almost seven months since he left, and he didn't know how she was doing now!

Looking at the Second-Tier spirit tea in front of him emitting a clear fragrance, Lin Zhangqing hesitated, but still picked it up and tasted it.

Unexpectedly, this spirit tea was slightly bitter at the entrance, but had a hint of sweetness after the aftertaste, and there was a hint of sweetness and coolness after it went down the throat; it felt quite good.

Lin Zhangqing felt that this spirit tea was quite distinctive, so he asked: "Fellow Daoist Song, what spirit tea is this? It feels really good!"

Song Junxue smiled lightly: "This is the Three-Flavor Tea I planted myself; the name is one I made up randomly. If Fellow Daoist Zhang likes it, just drink a few more cups!"

Lin Zhangqing thought that he had a specialized tea master, and he could also add some new varieties of spirit tea to the inner space, so that the industry would be diversified in the future.

So he smiled lightly: "This Three-Flavor Tea is quite interesting; I really like it very much, and it suits my taste! Since it is spirit tea planted by Fellow Daoist Song yourself, I wonder if there are any spirit seeds? Can you share a few with me? I will exchange them with spirit stones or other things!"

Song Junxue heard this, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Since Fellow Daoist Zhang likes it, then I will give you three spirit seeds!

As for spirit stones and other things, forget it; Three-Flavor Tea is not a very precious thing, so it's not worth being so calculating."

After speaking, she took a jade box out of her storage bag, took out three spirit seeds from it, and handed them to Lin Zhangqing.

After getting the spirit seeds, he felt a bit regretful; if others gave him things for no reason, wouldn't he owe them a favor!

Thinking he couldn't do this, he took out a one-jin bottle of Vermilion Fruit Wine from his storage bag and handed it to Song Junxue.

Then he said: "I have accepted the spirit seeds gifted by Fellow Daoist Song; this is spirit wine brewed by my own family, gifted back to Fellow Daoist Song to taste! This is brewed with hundred-year Vermilion Fruit; I usually can't bear to use it, only taking a little bit when cultivating. Fellow Daoist can try its effect when you have time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was drawn; this was clearly a good thing, and it should be no problem to use it to replace cultivation pills!

Immediately, someone asked to exchange some hundred-year Vermilion Fruit Wine with Lin Zhangqing, but unfortunately, Lin Zhangqing didn't have enough for himself, so how could he exchange it with them? So Lin Zhangqing refused everyone with the excuse that the quantity was limited and it was the last bottle left! Song Junxue looked at the spirit wine in her hand and laughed lightly. She was so sharp-witted that she immediately understood Lin Zhangqing's meaning.

It was that he didn't want to owe her a favor, so that he wouldn't be held back when fighting for the treasure in two days! So after saying thank you, she put away the spirit wine in her hand! Although Lin Zhangqing's refusal of everyone's request to exchange Vermilion Fruit Wine spoiled the atmosphere a bit! But it was rare to have so many fellow Daoists of equivalent cultivation, so everyone couldn't help but communicate with each other.

They were all talking about problems and insights encountered in cultivation.

After listening to others' sharing and verifying with each other, they also had some gains by analogy.

So Lin Zhangqing wasn't stingy either, taking out some insignificant things he understood that didn't involve fundamental techniques to share and verify with others.

It wasn't until the sky outside was completely dark that this kind of communication stopped, because the Black Crystal Army Ants were coming out to forage!

Although there was the cover of the Third-Tier formation, there shouldn't be any big problems, but everyone was still in no mood to continue communicating, so everyone dispersed!

Lin Zhangqing hadn't rested the night before, so he asked Song Junxue to assign him a room so he could have a good rest!

After Song Junxue left, Lin Zhangqing also released twenty-four Second-Tier Purple Crystal Scorpions to protect him in the room after turning invisible.

After all, this was someone else's territory, so no matter how cautious he was, it wouldn't be too much! Just like that, two days passed in a flash!

In these two days, four more cultivators found this place, and under everyone's persuasion, they all agreed to stay and participate in the burrow treasure-taking operation!

And the later cultivators also brought them a piece of news: now it was very difficult to encounter cultivators in the secret realm.

The number of surviving cultivators was already very small, perhaps not even one in ten! In other words, even counting the twelve of them now, there might be fewer than fifty cultivators left in the entire secret realm space.

This made everyone except Lin Zhangqing feel exceptionally urgent!

Lin Zhangqing had been recuperating these two days and had already considered what strength to reveal this time!

After all, if he performed too powerfully in a team, the remaining people would unconsciously develop defensive psychology toward him.

They might even unite to deal with him, so he didn't want to appear too outstanding! After all, this time the treasure was very likely the Fourth-Tier Wood Tooth Crystal.

If one could really get one, it would definitely be a life-changing event for a scattered cultivator! This thing was also very important to him, so this time he was duty-bound.

His goal was to get at least one Wood Tooth Crystal; of course, if possible, the more the better!

So this time, he decided to only use the Ink Cloud Battle Mount, the complete set of Three Talents Golden Light Swords, and a few defensive spiritual artifacts.

Thunder techniques and all thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts would not be used.

Second-Tier Purple Crystal Scorpions and Shock-Spirit Cicadas would also not be released this time; after all, there were many eyes, so he had to avoid someone leaking the news.

Besides, using them to deal with the ant tide wouldn't have much effect, but the effect would be very obvious if used against cultivators.
