Chapter 563: Get Further Away

"Fellow Daoists, I don't know your honorable names, so I won't set up a monument for you."

After bowing and worshipping slightly in front of the grave, Song Qingming took out the "Thunder-Gathering Bead," turned around, and left the place, walking into the stone pillars where thunder was rolling.

This "Cloud Thunder Formation" was also the most powerful restriction Song Qingming and the others had seen since entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Without a profound cultivation base above the late-stage Jin Dan, or a magic treasure like Song Qingming's that just happened to restrain the thunder in the formation, it was absolutely impossible to have the confidence to break through the Cloud Thunder Great Formation to take treasures inside.

After the time of an incense stick, Jin Ziyuan, who was waiting outside, saw that no one had come out of the "Cloud Thunder Formation" for a long time, and a trace of nervousness appeared on his face. He quietly sent a sound transmission to Zhao Menglian, who was closing her eyes and resting on the side.

"Senior Sister Zhao, Junior Brother Song hasn't come out yet. Could something have happened to him inside?"

"Look, you're impatient again. Junior Brother Song has always been cautious in his character and has a treasure that restrains thunder on his body. Even if he can't break through, self-preservation shouldn't be a big problem."

"Junior Brother Song hasn't come out yet, so it's possible he has already successfully broken through the Cloud Thunder Formation and entered the restriction. Let's wait patiently for a while. If you hope for him to be well, maybe when Junior Brother Song comes out, he can share some treasures with you." Zhao Menglian opened her eyes, glared at Jin Ziyuan, and said to him unhappily.

Having been in the same sect for many years, Zhao Menglian naturally knew Jin Ziyuan's character very well, but she had no way to deal with him.

Just as the two were talking, a green ray of light suddenly flew out from the middle of the stone pillars behind them, turning into a man in green clothes.

This movement immediately alarmed the group who were resting nearby. After confirming that it was Song Qingming who came out, Jin Ziyuan was the first to smile and greet him with joy.

The reason Song Qingming was so generous, giving each person present a second-tier spiritual fruit, was also to let everyone feel balanced in their hearts.

These spiritual fruits were obtained by Song Qingming alone by taking risks to break in. According to the rules agreed upon by everyone before, he didn't need to take them out and share them with everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is right. A third-tier spiritual fruit tree, if taken out, can at least be exchanged for tens of thousands of spirit stones. If there were a way to transplant it, after so many years, I don't know how many people have been here, so it shouldn't have been our turn to consider this matter."

"Hehe! It's a pity that Senior Sister Zhao couldn't go in together just now, otherwise, a third-tier spiritual fruit tree, if it could be transplanted and sold outside, everyone could have shared quite a few spirit stones."

Seeing Song Qingming so generous, the group on the side also showed a look of surprise. After declining a few times, seeing that Song Qingming was indeed willing to share the spiritual items he obtained with everyone, they didn't say anything more and accepted this gift with joy.

Seeing that everyone was also looking forward to it, Song Qingming showed a smile and nodded to Jin Ziyuan.

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out five second-tier spiritual fruits he brought out from inside and distributed them to Jin Ziyuan and the other five on the side.

Hearing Jin Ziyuan's greedy words, Zhao Menglian immediately shook her head, "The owner of this Heaven-Reaching Tower set up such a powerful Cloud Thunder Formation here, it should also be to prevent this matter. Even if I went in to transplant this tree, under such conditions, there would be no way to bring it out safely."

Once encountering a crisis, a good impression might be exchanged for the other party's helping hand at a critical moment, allowing you to have more chances to escape.

Although the second-tier spiritual fruits sent out were also precious items, compared to the few rare third-tier spiritual fruits Song Qingming obtained in the restriction this time, the value of these spiritual items was nothing.

After coming out of such a dangerous restriction, even if Song Qingming didn't say it, it was not difficult for everyone present to guess that the things he obtained by going in this time certainly weren't just these second-tier spiritual fruits.

Even an ordinary second-tier mid-quality spiritual fruit could be worth a few hundred spirit stones. Song Qingming being willing to take out so many to share with everyone was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

When going out, especially in a dangerous secret realm like the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," even if he temporarily abandoned some small interests, Song Qingming would try his best to have a good relationship with the people around him and try his best not to leave a bad impression on the other party.

"There was only one third-tier spiritual fruit tree inside. I picked some mature spiritual fruits on it. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Please don't dislike these spiritual fruits, and thank you for waiting for me for so long outside."

"Second-tier mid-quality Blood Dragon Fruit, this thing is a good thing! Fellow Daoist Song is truly too polite!" Seeing the red spiritual fruit in his hand, the more knowledgeable True Person Qingluo immediately recognized this item, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

Everyone was very satisfied with this, and their impression of Song Qingming naturally became better. Even Yun Xinxue, who was indifferent to Song Qingming at first, took the initiative to step forward and bow to him to express his gratitude.

"Junior Brother Song, how is it? Did you break through the Cloud Thunder Formation!"

Confirming that Song Qingming had broken into the restriction, Jin Ziyuan hurriedly continued to ask with curiosity, "There shouldn't have been anyone preempting you inside, right? Junior Brother Song, did you have any harvest?"

Seeing that the group was about to start explaining to him, Jin Ziyuan immediately waved his hand, "I know, I know, I just said that. You really thought I couldn't see the situation inside at all.

Anyway, this trip wasn't in vain. We can be considered to have earned it. The Heaven-Reaching Tower is so big, there are plenty of places to find spiritual items. If it doesn't work here, just change to another place."

Hearing Jin Ziyuan's words, the group present couldn't help but laugh a few times, and soon left here together to go to the next place to hunt for treasures.

Two days later, outside a palace that had been abandoned for a long time on the third level of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," several rays of light suddenly flew over, turning into three Jin Dan cultivators with different clothes.

These three Jin Dan cultivators, two men and one woman, all had cultivation bases above the mid-stage Jin Dan. The leading one had an even higher cultivation base than Zhao Menglian, having reached the peak of the sixth-layer Jin Dan, just one step away from entering the late-stage Jin Dan.

The middle-aged man at the sixth layer of Jin Dan picked up an ancient-looking map in his hand, looked at it, and said to the two people beside him with joy, "That's right, it should be here!"

"Hehe! Brother Li, it seems that we should have good luck this time. It seems that no one has come here recently. There are likely good things inside. Let's hurry in and take a look!"

Hearing the urging of the young man on the side, the leading middle-aged man shook his head with a complex expression, "Sigh! We've already found it, why be so anxious? If we rush in and encounter any powerful restrictions, and all three of us are trapped inside, that would be troublesome!"

"Brother Li means?"

Seeing the middle-aged man who had always been very casual in several treasure-hunting places before suddenly become cautious, the woman on the side also showed a trace of doubt.

"Fellow Daoists, don't be anxious. Let me explore the path first!"

The middle-aged man didn't wait for the other two to agree and directly took out a second-tier puppet beast from his storage bag, casting a spell to control it directly toward the palace entrance.

After seeing this scene, the man and the woman immediately looked at each other, and both saw a trace of unhappiness in each other's eyes, but after thinking for a moment, both of them endured it and didn't express it directly.

The three of them entered the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" this time because the leading middle-aged man carried a map of the tower and had promised to let him have an extra share of the spiritual items found. They didn't expect the other party to play this kind of careful trick at this time.

Saying it was to explore the path in advance, wasn't it just wanting to see if he could let his puppet beast go in first to see if he could secretly hide one or two things.

Not long after the middle-aged man controlled the puppet beast to enter the palace, he suddenly felt that the connection between himself and the puppet beast was directly cut off, so he immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and opened his eyes.

Before he could speak, a loud noise suddenly came from the hall, and then a mass of puppet beasts that had been forcibly twisted and deformed was thrown out of the hall directly.

Seeing this scene, the three people who were still scheming in their hearts just now also knew that there were still people in the hall, and their faces changed, taking out their magic treasures!

"Who is hiding inside sneakily?"

"Hmph! Today the old man doesn't want to fight. If you three still don't want to die, then get out of here quickly!" After a somewhat fierce voice came out, a large gray bird suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall, staring closely at the three people in front with an unhappy face.

"A late-stage Jin Dan Great Demon King!"

Seeing this large bird in front of them, the middle-aged man and the three showed a look of surprise, then looked at each other again, and for a while, didn't know what to say.

Although they had three people and their strength was not weak, facing a strange late-stage Jin Dan Great Demon King, they still didn't have enough confidence to defeat the other party.

"Fellow Daoist..."

"Why, I gave you a chance, you don't want to leave, right!"

Seeing the fierce look of wanting to try that had already appeared in the eyes of the other party looking at him, the middle-aged man, who had been interrupted, took a reluctant look at the palace in front and took the lead to turn into a ray of light and leave the original place.

The other two saw this and also dared not stay; after sighing with a look of frustration, they followed and vanished from the spot.

After driving these three people away, Long Feng scanned the surroundings, then walked back to the hall and came to Huo Feng's side, who was closing her eyes and resting.

"Three mid-stage Jin Dan brats came, and they have already been driven away by me. If Your Highness hadn't stopped me from taking action, hehe! Today I could have had a fun fight again!"

After Huo Feng opened her eyes, she didn't pay attention to the trace of complaint in Long Feng's mouth and directly threw a golden feather into his hand.

"That guy has already come up. You take this and go pick him up and bring him here."
