Immortal Road

The ancient ruins, where the east and west sides meet, is a narrow strip of land.

The mottled bloodstains on the ground showed that a fierce battle had just taken place here not long ago. Several monks wearing Qingyun Sect robes were either sitting cross-legged or patrolling here.

A head popped out from the small bushes more than 300 feet away, looking at the dozens of Qingyun Sect monks with a bitter face.

This was Shichuan, who had been circling for three days and was planning to pass through this place and reach the east side of the ancient ruins.

During these three days, Shichuan was very careful all the way. Once he met the monks of Qingyun Sect, no matter how many there were, he would avoid them. He was afraid that the monks of Qingyun Sect would find him.

And the monks of Qingyun Sect seemed to have not been reorganized by Jiao Changzun not long after Xin Rugou's death, so they acted without any rules.

This made Shichuan secretly relieved.

Unexpectedly, after arriving here, there were so many Qi training monks stationed here.

This surprised Ishikawa, but he could do nothing about it. Ishikawa had been hiding in the bushes for an hour and found that the monks stationed here had no leader and seemed to come and go as they pleased.

So Ishikawa decided to wait here for a day or two to see if there was a suitable opportunity.

At such a close distance, Ishikawa naturally hid in the hidden formation. This formation was indeed a good thing. As long as there were enough spirit stones, he could sleep soundly in it without being afraid of being discovered.

However, with a powerful enemy at hand, Ishikawa would not waste time like this.

After coming out of the Soul Devouring Demon Bat Cave, Ishikawa rushed all the way and had no time to see what was in Xin Rugou's storage bag. Now he took advantage of the time to check it out.

The storage bag of a foundation-building cultivator naturally contained a lot of good things.

Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones and a huge amount of elixirs were not beyond Ishikawa's expectations, but these elixirs were mostly used by foundation-building cultivators, and Ishikawa had no use for them now.

There are seven or eight low-grade spiritual tools, including the golden Immortal Binding Rope. Ishikawa can't use them now, so he can only keep them.

In addition, Ishikawa found three strange flying swords in Xin Rugou's storage bag. Although the flying swords are made of excellent materials and the refining skills are also remarkable, Ishikawa can't see through their grades.

The reason why Ishikawa pays attention to these flying swords is that almost all Qingyunmen monks use the same flying swords.

Ishikawa took out one of them at random, held it in his hand, and injected his consciousness. Dense red dots appeared in the flying sword.

"Blood! Bloody breath!" These dense red dots made Ishikawa feel very uncomfortable.

"Three hundred and twenty-nine!" A clear number was instantly transmitted to Ishikawa's consciousness.

The other two flying swords were "twenty-eight" and "one hundred and fifty-six" respectively.

Ishikawa vaguely heard the word "merit" from these Qingyun Sect monks. Ishikawa secretly guessed that maybe if a Qingyun Sect monk killed a monk from another sect, he could record some merit in this flying sword.

If so, there were hundreds or even thousands of monks who died at the hands of Xin Rugou.

Ishikawa felt a little strange in his heart. Although there were many monks who entered the ancient ruins, Xin Rugou entered the immortal mansion for a very short time and it was impossible for him to kill so many people.

Then the only explanation is that Qingyun Sect had already started to slaughter monks from other sects before the ancient ruins were opened.

Thinking of this, Ishikawa's heart trembled slightly.

The red dot in this flying sword does not seem to be for simply recording the killing of one person. The bloody smell in it makes Ishikawa feel very uncomfortable.

If it was just for recording, there would be no such feeling at all. Could it be that Qingyun has other intentions?

At this time, Ishikawa also remembered that his mining pick seemed to have an inexplicable connection with these strange flying swords.

Xin Ru Gou's first attack that day did not cause any damage to Ishikawa, mainly because the mining pick completely restrained Xin Ru Gou's flying sword.

At that time, the situation was critical, and Ishikawa had no time to think about it. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

After his divine sense probed into the storage bag and carefully checked, the mining pick had returned to normal, but the black shell of the mining pick was getting thinner and thinner.

At that time, Ishikawa bought this magic weapon from the auction house, and a big reason was that he valued the inexplicable material of the magic weapon shell.

It was just very easy to use, and Ishikawa was reluctant to put it into the immortal mansion to decompose it. Now, this inexplicable shell has disappeared for some reason.

At this time, the pick head of the mining pick has completely lost the appearance of a pick head. Instead, there is only an animal head.

The wide-open mouth has already taken shape. But the outer shell made it difficult for Ishikawa to see clearly.

Ishikawa's heart moved slightly, and he took out a Qingyunmen flying sword with a merit value of "28" from his storage bag. In an instant, the flying sword was absorbed by the mining pick magic weapon.

The enchanting red light flashed, and the Qingyunmen flying sword fell to the ground, with no spiritual energy, becoming a useless sword.

The mining pick magic weapon made a slight hissing sound, as if it was not finished.

Ishikawa took out the flying sword with a merit value of "156" again, and it was still the same, but the enchanting red light was emitted for a little longer, but Ishikawa still didn't find anything special.

The third one!

As soon as the two instruments came into contact, a red light shone brightly. Ishikawa discovered that the red dot in the flying sword quickly flowed into the mining pick instrument at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the mining pick instrument began to tremble slightly.

"Swish! Swish!" Inside the black shell, it seemed as if blood was surging and flowing rapidly.

The mining pick instrument floated in the air, just like the state it was in the Spirit Sword Pavilion that day.

However, this time lasted very briefly. After only half a quarter of an hour, the mining pick instrument returned to normal.

During this half quarter of an hour, Ishikawa looked at the mining pick instrument intently, trying to find some secrets from it, but that was all Ishikawa could see. When the red light shone, Ishikawa could feel a bloody breath, but once the red light disappeared, the mining pick instrument immediately became a very ordinary instrument, which surprised Ishikawa even more.

At first, the mining pickaxe magical weapon came into contact with the blood of several people and changed. It took more than a month to recover. Now, after swallowing hundreds of "merits" in the flying sword, it can recover in half a quarter of an hour.

The mining pickaxe magical weapon has reached a very fast level of absorbing blood or blood essence.

Ishikawa vaguely felt that this mining pickaxe magical weapon seemed to be a magical weapon of evil cultivators. However, this magical weapon just happened to restrain the flying sword of the Qingyun Sect cultivators. Ishikawa was reluctant to abandon it.
