Chapter 376

Fang Wuqian, standing in the very front, walked into this stone gate first. Gao Yuyao and Duan Xueyi were also unwilling to fall behind and followed immediately. The two of them hadn't found what they wanted in the pill-refining room, so they could only pin their only hope on what was behind this last stone gate.

"Eh! Why is there nothing in here?"

After Song Qingming walked into the stone gate last, he soon heard a roar of anger from Fang Wuqian in the very front. After scanning the surroundings, he discovered that this stone room was truly as he said: it was a room with nothing at all.

The size of this stone room was about the same as the pill-refining room next door, only besides some dust on the ground and a stone bed against the wall on the side, there was nothing else, not even a table, chair, or stone stool.

After the few looked around in the stone room, they still didn't discover anything else in the room and could only give up searching and gather together, their faces also showing disappointment one after another.

"Alas! Is this senior truly too stingy? In this bedroom for meditation, there isn't even a meditation cushion. He truly doesn't take care of us juniors who came later!" Fang Wuqian sighed, sat directly on the empty stone bed, patted the hard stone forcefully, and complained with some indignation.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, wait a moment, absolutely do not move!"

At this moment, Duan Xueyi, who was closest to Fang Wuqian, suddenly shouted and then closed her eyes.

Her shout instantly attracted the full attention of everyone present. Even Song Qingming, who had already relaxed his heart after entering the stone gate, suddenly became nervous and quietly took the Azure Water Bell into his hand.

Not only Song Qingming, but Gao Yuyao, standing beside him, also took out a flying sword and began to scan the surroundings of the stone room with great vigilance. After all, this place was once a Core Formation cultivator's cave dwelling; if something dangerous was hidden here, it wouldn't be strange.

Fortunately, after Duan Xueyi finished speaking, nothing strange happened, and Fang Wuqian, sitting on the stone bed, didn't encounter any danger. Song Qingming and his companion gradually felt relieved.

"Senior Sister Duan, what's wrong? What did you discover!" Gao Yuyao asked Duan Xueyi directly, only to find that after she shouted loudly, she had already walked a few steps forward, arrived at a position not far from Fang Wuqian, and was closing her eyes to meditate and feel the changes in the spiritual energy around her.

Fang Wuqian, sitting on the stone bed, was startled by her. At this moment, he was sitting on the stone bed, not daring to move at all, fearing that he would trigger something dangerous. He didn't even dare to speak and could only look at the three for help with his eyes.

It was just that what made the three somewhat puzzled was that Duan Xueyi didn't answer Gao Yuyao's question immediately but said to Fang Wuqian: "Fellow Daoist Fang, trouble you to pat the stone bed again just like before. Remember, don't use too much force and don't use too little; just do it the same as before."

"Fairy Duan, what is this for?" Fang Wuqian asked casually, but didn't hesitate too much and immediately followed Duan Xueyi's instructions, raised his right hand, and did it exactly the same way once.

Song Qingming and Gao Yuyao, who were also somewhat confused on the side, saw Duan Xueyi acting so strangely and also immediately leaned toward her position lightly.

After Song Qingming approached Duan Xueyi, he suddenly felt a clearly different spiritual energy fluctuation with the spiritual sense in his body. This spiritual energy had already far exceeded the spiritual energy concentration of this cave dwelling, and the feeling it gave people was completely unlike the spiritual energy emitted by the spirit vein in this cave dwelling.

After Song Qingming entered the water pool, he had long since felt that the deeper he went to the bottom of the water, the denser the spiritual energy around him. After they broke the formation outside and entered this cave dwelling, the spiritual energy inside had also approached a second-tier top-quality spirit vein.

Originally, Song Qingming thought that this Core Formation senior built the cave dwelling here because of this second-tier water vein at the bottom of the pool. He didn't expect that after approaching Duan Xueyi, the spiritual energy Song Qingming felt was several times denser than before. It seemed that this senior's cave dwelling was not as simple as they had seen before.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you come over first. The spiritual energy at this stone bed position is somewhat wrong; it is possible that something is hidden inside." This time, before Song Qingming could open his mouth to speak, Duan Xueyi had already directly stated the situation she discovered and slowly walked toward that stone bed that looked very ordinary.

Seeing that she discovered the clue of the stone bed so quickly, Song Qingming was also somewhat surprised. Duan Xueyi had discovered the abnormality a step ahead of him when those demon crocodiles attacked them yesterday, and now she could explore the secret hidden in the stone bed so quickly. It could be seen that her spiritual sense was no worse than Song Qingming's, and it was even possible that it was even better.

Hearing Duan Xueyi say this, Fang Wuqian finally felt relieved, hurriedly stood up with a smile, walked to the side, and gave up his position to Duan Xueyi.

Duan Xueyi arrived at the side of the stone bed, first circled around it, and then looked carefully at the positions near the stone walls on both sides.

"How is it? Is there anything else hidden below?" Seeing that Duan Xueyi seemed to have found some clues, Fang Wuqian, who was standing on the side, asked anxiously again.

Duan Xueyi stood up, shook her head with a smile and said: "Hard to say. I'm also not sure if there is anything hidden below. Fellow Daoist Fang, you and Fellow Daoist Song will have to work hard to help move the stone bed away so we can see."

This stone bed was very large, cut directly from a natural giant rock, and weighed two or three thousand jin. If it were according to Fang Wuqian's temper, he would definitely want to split it directly with a sword, saving time and effort. But now he also knew that there might be some good treasure hidden below, so he naturally didn't dare to use this method.

For a giant rock weighing several thousand jin like this, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't move it so easily. Fortunately, now that there were many people, it wasn't a difficult task to move it away by joining forces and casting spells.

A moment later, with the strenuous cooperation of Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian, the two finally pushed the stone bed that was blocking the way to the side, only then seeing clearly what was hidden below. It turned out to be a small water pit less than three feet in radius.

There was also a spring eye in this water pit that was constantly bubbling, but it seemed to have been cast with a spell to restrain it. Although water was constantly bubbling inside, not a single drop of water had ever flowed out.

After seeing the spring eye under this stone bed, everyone revealed a look of confusion one after another. Only Duan Xueyi, who discovered the abnormality first, said with a face full of surprise: "This seems to be a Spirit-Machine Spring Eye."

"Spirit-Machine Spring Eye? Fairy Duan, please speak first about what exactly this Spirit-Machine Spring Eye is." Hearing that Duan Xueyi seemed to recognize this item, Fang Wuqian hurriedly asked with a face full of anxiety.
