Chapter 231

Song Qingming looked at the remnant map before him that was almost identical to the one on his body, and he really couldn't hide his excitement in his heart. But he knew that Fire Phoenix was beside him, so he still resisted and didn't show any abnormality.

Pretending to look at the remnant map with some interest, Song Qingming put it aside first, and then continued to rummage through the pile of miscellaneous items. It wasn't until he found a few spiritual items that looked useful that Song Qingming collected them together with the remnant map.

Fire Phoenix was already used to this kind of behavior of his. She also knew that Song Qingming was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a low status among the human race, so it was indeed not strange for him to be interested in these things she didn't look down on.

After the two thoroughly looted this place, they found a few more usable magic treasures and spiritual items before they walked out of it satisfied.

In these three palaces, Fire Phoenix not only found the Mysterious Yin True Water she wanted, but also accidentally obtained several intact magic treasures. This trip could be considered a full harvest.

"Among these magic treasures, except for this bottle, you can pick two pieces for yourself if you like any of the rest."

After walking out of Taiyue Palace, Fire Phoenix really didn't break her word, took out the magic treasures she found inside, and let Song Qingming choose two pieces at will.

Song Qingming stepped forward and took a look. He didn't know which of these magic treasures was the best, and it was really hard to choose in his heart.

The ranks of these magic treasures were not low. The only one Song Qingming could use was a second-rank high-grade yellow bronze bell.

The rest were third-rank magic treasures, which he couldn't use at all now. If he carried them on his body, once he went out and was discovered by those seasoned Golden Core cultivators, it might bring about disaster for no reason.

After thinking about it, Song Qingming still picked up the yellow bronze bell. This bronze bell looked like a defensive magic treasure. Generally, the price of a second-rank high-grade defensive magic treasure in the market was over three thousand spirit stones. Just the value of this item was not low.

After Song Qingming collected the bronze bell, he said to Fire Phoenix, "Senior, I only need this magic treasure. I can't use the remaining magic treasures now, so let's keep them on you first. If I am lucky enough to succeed in Core Formation in the future, I will go and ask you for one. If I don't have that fate, then forget it, just consider it my filial piety to you."

"Hmph! You have some self-knowledge, knowing that these things are hot potatoes for you. Since you have already said so, I can promise you.

However, I don't like to take advantage of others. Since you feel that these magic treasures are useless to you, why don't I give you another useful thing!"

After Fire Phoenix finished speaking, she took out a small red jade bottle from her body and placed it before Song Qingming's eyes.

"This item is called Earth Spirit Dew. It is the dew produced by the surrounding spiritual energy when our monster race passes the thunder tribulation. After taking this bottle, it can help cultivators below the Golden Core stage improve their cultivation base by one level. This should be able to help you save a lot of cultivation time. Using this item to exchange for a magic treasure of yours is not a loss. What do you think?"

"Then, I will listen to Senior!"

As soon as he heard the name Earth Spirit Dew from Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming's face changed instantly. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see with his own eyes something he had only seen in classics in this life.

Song Qingming understood in his heart that compared to a third-rank magic treasure he couldn't use for the time being, this Earth Spirit Dew was much more useful, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed to the matter.

After receiving the Earth Spirit Dew from Fire Phoenix, Song Qingming hurriedly opened it and took a look. Smelling the clear fragrance emitted by the transparent liquid inside, Song Qingming instantly felt a sense of refreshment in his mind.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what was said in the book. This should be the Earth Spirit Dew recorded in the classics he had read.

Holding the Earth Spirit Dew in one hand and the bronze bell he had just obtained in the other, although the expression on Song Qingming's face didn't change much, his heart was already blooming with joy. Coming in with Fire Phoenix this time, he had indeed obtained many good things.

What surprised him most was that he didn't expect to find a remnant map identical to the one on his body in this Taiyue Palace.

Back then, Song Qingming was chased and killed and fled into the Fuyun Mountain Range, only then did he obtain that strange remnant map. Now, decades had passed.

In these decades, although Song Qingming relied on the ability of the remnant map to slowly improve his cultivation base to the Foundation Establishment stage step by step, until now, although Song Qingming had read many books recording various spiritual items in the immortal cultivation world, he still hadn't found any records related to this remnant map, and he didn't know what it was.

The place where he found the first remnant map was in the Fuyun Mountain Range, and the palace in this Taiyue Lake secret realm was estimated to have existed for tens of thousands of years. He didn't know if there was any connection between these two places.

After Fire Phoenix led Song Qingming out of the palace, she wanted to open the entrance and go out from here directly. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to make a move, she was stopped by Song Qingming.

"Senior, the people from the Carefree Sect and the Star Sect are probably still in the Inner Valley. If we go out now, it is possible that we will encounter them head-on. Why don't we wait for a while!"

After Fire Phoenix pondered for a moment, she slowly put away the golden token in her hand, still agreed with Song Qingming's opinion, and led him back to the palace in the middle.

The two sat opposite each other and hid in this Taiyue Palace for another five days before opening the interface from inside and arriving in the Inner Valley before they went in.

Before coming out, in order not to expose their identities in front of other cultivators, Song Qingming and Fire Phoenix specially put on a bamboo hat to cover their faces. Fire Phoenix carefully observed the current Inner Valley. Although she saw many traces of other cultivators' activities, this place was now empty.

After the two came out, they didn't delay too much and left here directly along the valley they entered at the beginning.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any other cultivators, and just like when they came, because of Fire Phoenix, those low-rank monsters didn't actively attack them.

The two didn't have any accidents and returned to the magic array they entered at the beginning. Then, under Fire Phoenix's leadership, with the Thunder Gathering Bead in her hand, the two successfully passed through the barrier that isolated the Inner and Outer Valleys and returned to the top of Mutian Canyon.

The place they came up this time was relatively strange, and it was clearly not in the same location as when they went down. Song Qingming looked around and found that the white mist here seemed to be thicker than the previous place, and he couldn't see too far at all, which was just right to cover their escape.

Just when Song Qingming thought they had successfully escaped the danger, three cultivators suddenly flew over from a distance and shouted loudly at the two: "Who is sneaking around here? Report your names to me quickly!"
