The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Qingyi felt relieved. She was clearly following the normal procedure, and it was no different from her previous practice. She just didn't understand why this situation had occurred.

"Xiaobai, what is going on?"

"Don't you know what's going on? When you entered this underground, you should have been able to feel that the most common spiritual power here is dark attribute."

"What!? I didn't feel anything at all. Moreover, if it was dark attribute spiritual power, my brothers and the others were not devoured. Why is that?"

"It's suppressed by the barrier, so it's not that powerful. Anyway, this place is not dangerous to you. As for others... I'm not sure. Be careful when you go in."

"Then I just cultivated the dark spiritual roots here and was not discovered, right?"

"No, you don't need to be nervous here. They can't find out since we are all from the same source. This is a good place to cultivate dark spiritual roots. Don't talk nonsense and try to cultivate more before the barrier opens."

"understood."

After Xiaobai's explanation, Jiang Qingyi more or less understood the current situation. In general, she would not be discovered if she practiced dark spiritual roots.

Time waits for no one, and who knows when will be the next time we find such a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyi quickly entered the state of cultivation again.

Ling Yue next to him noticed something. His eyes stayed on Jiang Qingyi for a while and then inadvertently fell to other places.

This situation lasted for several days. Jiang Qingyi was practicing all the time, and only stopped once to share some food with Ji Fusang and others.

It has to be said that cultivators have great endurance. They did not feel uncomfortable after staying here for several days doing nothing. Instead, they felt that this was just an ordinary thing.

If Jiang Qingyi hadn't been busy practicing, she would probably have been bored to death in such a situation.

Jiang Qingyi had only seen figures from other places once, and after that, no matter how she touched the barrier, there was no other reaction.

Just when Jiang Qingyi thought that the barrier could not be opened, the barrier not far away suddenly made a shattering sound.

It was like the low cracking sound of ice cracking, which was particularly obvious in the already dark environment.

Ji Fusang, who had been paying attention to the situation of the barrier, stood up suddenly, and Mu Yu also looked at Ling Yue opposite him.

Ling Yue walked up to Jiang Qingyi and said, "Junior Sister, there is new movement in the barrier."

Jiang Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes, and a black light flashed in her pupils, but no one noticed.

She stood up, walked to the barrier, and reached out to touch it again.

As a result, before she touched it, the barrier in front of her completely shattered in an instant, and the black substance around it immediately became thicker.

No one had expected this situation, so no one had time to react.

Jiang Qingyi was mentally prepared. She stood firmly in place without moving.

After everyone got used to the concentration of the black substance, Ji Fusang began to move forward tentatively.

Jiang Qingyi called out, "Big Brother!"

Ji Fusang turned around and looked at Jiang Qingyi with a puzzled look.

"I remember the map. How about I go ahead?"

"No, just follow me and show me the way." Ji Fusang refused.

Jiang Qingyi sighed in her heart, she knew that her senior brother would not agree to her proposal.

But there is no other way at the moment, so this is the only way for now.

After the barrier was opened, the passage continued to extend downwards. The line of sight was no different from before. It was hard to see clearly anyway, so one could only use spiritual power as an aid.

After Song Wuyong opened the barrier with another artifact, he took the lead and led his men forward.

They still don't know what the black substance in the air is, and since it does no harm to the body, no one pays any attention to it.

This group of people did not have a map, and the passage they took was not the safest. Not long after they went forward, they encountered a very terrifying spirit beast.

There were casualties in the team due to the delayed response.

However, Jiang Qingyi and her group knew nothing about what happened there.

On Jiang Qingyi's side, Ji Fusang was still walking in front. He was holding a weapon and was very alert. Even though he didn't encounter any spiritual beasts, he didn't dare to relax at all.

Not long after they walked, they discovered even rarer minerals on the mountain wall, which made Jiang Qingyi's eyes light up.

These are minerals that are very difficult to find outside, and the conditions for their formation are very harsh. It would be unreasonable not to take some away with you if you encounter them.

But before taking action this time, Ji Fusang asked Jiang Qingyi first, "Junior sister, is there a problem here?"

Jiang Qingyi shook her head, "No, hurry up, there should be something more precious below."

Hearing Jiang Qingyi's words, Ji Fusang and others quickly took out their tools and got busy.

Jiang Qingyi herself did not fall behind.

While she was mining, Xiao Bai's voice rang in her mind, "You have already entered the barrier, don't you feel any changes?"

Jiang Qingyi paused while mining, and then answered in her mind, "The dark attribute spiritual energy seems to be more concentrated than before, and the temperature around is getting higher and higher."

"Yes, the current dark attribute spiritual power is still suppressed by the seal in the center. Once the seal is opened, no one except you who enters here will be able to escape. If you don't want these people nearby to get into trouble, you'd better think of a way in advance."

"You said seal, what is under the seal?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Jiang Qingyi felt a headache. They were trapped in the barrier and the only exit was in the center of the barrier. How could she get Ji Fusang and the others out safely?

"Xiaobai, is the beast in the center of the barrier the core of the seal?"

Xiaobai didn't say anything.

Jiang Qingyi had no choice but to give up since she couldn't get an answer.

After finishing mining in this area, they continued to move down along the passage.

Every time they came to a fork in the road, Jiang Qingyi would point out the safest one, so that they basically spent all their time mining in this passage and had almost no time to fight with spirit beasts.

About two days later, the group probably reached the true end of the passage because they saw a bright red light.

"Is this... coming?" Ji Fusang asked in confusion.

He said as he was about to move on.

Jiang Qingyi was still studying the map in her mind. When she noticed Ji Fusang's movements, she quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

At this time, Ji Fusang had already taken one foot out, and the next second he found that he was actually on a very high cliff, with boiling red magma below.

Ji Fusang gritted his teeth and retracted his foot, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

This time Jiang Qingyi walked to the front and said seriously, "I will go in front from now on. You must follow me closely. You should follow me wherever I am. You must not make a wrong step."
