The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 203 Cheating to get treasure!

The moment the two insect clouds came into contact, a black light suddenly flashed, and a large piece of dark flame erupted from the ant colony, unceremoniously enveloping the gold-eating insects in it.

It was the iron fire ants who used their fire-repelling talent first.

However, what the iron fire ant faced was the gold-eating insect.

Not only did the black flames not harm the gold-eating insects, but they were instantly devoured cleanly by the gold-eating insects, and then rushed towards the ant colony with a buzzing sound.

The two torrents collided hard, and then intertwined and bit each other, making a harsh scream.

A large number of insect corpses fell from the sky like rain, the majority of which were black, while the gold and silver ones were extremely rare.

After a while, the dark cloud disappeared, leaving only insect corpses on the ground.

After wiping out all the iron fire ants in front of him, the gold-eating insects swept back and devoured all the insect corpses, leaving behind a ball-shaped object the size of a thumb on the ground.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and took the object into his hand.

"Crystal refining!"

This thing is called "crystal refining" and is the best auxiliary material to strengthen magic weapons.It is said that after eating ore every day, the iron fire ant queen regurgitates a rare material in her abdomen.

When refining a magic weapon, as long as some of this material is mixed in, not only will the power be greatly increased, but the solidity of the magic weapon will immediately rise to an unimaginable level, making it difficult to be easily cut or destroyed by anything.

In terms of value, it is definitely no worse than that of "Geng Jing".

It was really this thing, Zhou Xun happily put it away.

Then with a wave of his hand, he put all the gold-eating insects back into the spirit beast bag.

Just like that, Zhou Xun had a gourd in one hand and a gold-eating insect in the other.

Wandering around in this lava tunnel.

When encountering iron fire ants, they release gold-eating insects to kill them all. The gold-eating insects devour the insect corpses, accelerating their own evolution.

At the same time, Zhou Xun was provided with the top magic weapon material "Crystal Refining", killing two birds with one stone.

At the end of the Ice and Fire Road, there is an extremely simple stone palace, covering an area of ​​about fifty to sixty feet and seven to eighty feet in height.One of the teleportation formations has a huge bluestone gate several feet high on each side.

At this time, the doors were closed tightly, sealing this place into a large prison-like existence.

There are more than a dozen monks with different expressions sitting in the stone hall.

Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, and Ancestor Linghu are all here. Even Han Li has arrived and is standing next to Ancestor Linghu, whispering something.

These people are all monks who came from the Ice and Fire Path.

At this time, there were only a few hours before the Ice and Fire Road was closed, and Zhou Xun's figure had not yet appeared, which could not help but worry Patriarch Linghu and Han Li.

Zhou Xun, on the other hand, was rushing to the exit of the lava tunnel.

Because it went so smoothly, I temporarily lost track of time while hunting fire ants.

As a result, he had to fly towards the exit with all his strength. If he was trapped in this ice and fire path because of his greed for the harvest of iron fire ants, it would really be a joke.

Just at the last quarter of an hour before the passage was closed, Zhou Xun's figure finally appeared in the teleportation array.

Ancestor Linghu and Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Ancestor Linghu frowned and scolded:

"Why did you come out after the passage was almost closed!"

Zhou Xun hurriedly smiled and said:

"It won't happen next time, it won't happen next time!"

The last bit of time passed quickly during the conversation.

The teleportation array in the middle of the stone hall suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the stone doors on the four walls automatically rose up with a roar, revealing deep bluestone passages. "Three of these four passages lead to an attic respectively. The things in each attic are different. They are "ancient treasures", "elixirs", "gong techniques" and other things left by ancient monks."

"But everything is sealed with restrictions. Everyone has only one chance to take something. Once they get it, they will be immediately transported to the next level of "Excellent Illusion"."

"As for the last passage, it leads directly to the next level. Anyone who walks into it can only consider themselves to be unlucky. They have come here in vain."

"If there are Taoist friends who don't want to enter the wonderful illusion, as long as they don't think about going to these attics to get treasures, and stay in this stone palace for a while, they can automatically spread out of Xutian Palace. I hope you Taoists can do it for themselves!"

Elder Xinggong gave a brief introduction, and then said no more.

"It turned out to be a matter of luck, but in the original work, this guy chose the 'ancient treasure' path."
Zhou Xun thought, looked at Han Li aside, and said:

"Brother Han, which passage do you want to take?"

Han Li looked around and pointed to the passage on the left.

"This one!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said to Ancestor Linghu:

"Master, let's walk together!"

Ancestor Linghu nodded and agreed.

Then the three of them stepped onto the same passage.

A spiraling bluestone staircase extends upward.

When you walk out of the passage, you will see a huge, unfathomable, cylindrical space.

Dark yellow sky, gray mist, no blue sky and red sun, everything is a gloomy color.

There is a long white jade bridge in front of it, about dozens of feet long, floating high in the sky out of thin air.

One end is connected to the exit, and the other end leads to a four-cornered pavilion floating in the center of the space.

The pavilion is more than thirty feet high and is divided into two floors. It is made of beautiful jade and has a large golden plaque about ten feet above it with the three characters "Baoguang Pavilion" written on it.

When he finally arrived here, Zhou Xun felt happy.

"Sure enough, following Han Li was the right choice!"

After speaking, he walked towards the Jade Bridge, came to the pavilion, and stepped in.

Rows of round jade platforms of various sizes appeared in front of them. They were made of white crystal jade and were densely distributed in front of them.

There is light flashing on the jade platform, and semicircular light masks of different colors are placed upside down on the table.There are some treasures in the form of long swords, halberds, flying swords, and flying knives.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun shook his head in disgust and walked towards the second floor.

Entering the second floor, it was indeed different.

The space on the second floor is not large. There is only a huge spherical light shield not far in front of me. There are dozens of ancient treasures of different shapes floating quietly inside.

There are treasures such as scrolls, jade tablets, round bowls, mirrors, etc., but none of them are repeated.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
"This is what it looks like as an ancient treasure!"

Following Han Li's method in the original work, Zhou Xun summoned the gold-eating insects, gnawed a hole in the huge spherical mask, and then ducked into the mask.

For a time, more than a dozen ancient treasures floated in front of him.

Because of the existence of restrictions, after taking out a treasure, it will be teleported out.

However, Zhou Xun remembered that in the original work, Han Li used gold-eating insects to wrap his whole body, temporarily isolating himself from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and took out two ancient treasures.

Following his example, he summoned the gold-eating insects and wrapped them around himself, forming a golden and silver full-body armor.

After looking at himself with satisfaction, he stretched his hands towards the two selected treasures.
