I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 72 The Secret Beneath the Cliff
The manifested spirit swiftly flew towards the deep ravine below the cliff.

In an instant, all the surrounding scenery was rapidly imprinted into Qi Xuan's consciousness.

It's as if there's a scanner, scanning the surrounding environment from all angles without any blind spots.

Even the details of the arrangement of gravel on the cliff face are clearly visible.

It must be said that the effects of the Spirit Ascension Talisman are indeed quite exaggerated.

In that case, perhaps...

Before my thoughts could even begin to wander, the spirituality I felt as I ventured down the cliff began to surge violently.

The increasingly strong gale seemed poised to blow it away at any moment.

The surrounding environment became increasingly dark and difficult to discern.

The moment his spirituality was completely shattered by the gale, Qi Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He looked down at the deep ravine with apprehension, his expression shifting constantly.

Just now, he vaguely saw many bloody handprints on the cliff face below, as well as traces of climbing upwards.

The problem is that the bloody handprints are very different from those of normal human hands.

Or it may have grown seven or eight fingers.

Or the two hands are stuck together.

Or perhaps their palms are extremely small and their fingers are extremely long.

Or the fingers are so large that they become deformed lumps of flesh.

……

Moreover, isn't it strange that there are only handprints and no footprints?

Could it be that they only have hands?

Having been severely poisoned by the Blue Star Network, his mind immediately conjured up all sorts of monstrous images that were difficult to describe in words.

Qi Xuan quickly used a suggestive image to violently disperse it.

Once he had calmed down, he began to ponder again:

"It shouldn't be like that."

"Isn't this a world of cultivation? How could something like this appear?"

"Could it be that failing to cultivate immortality has some kind of aftereffect?"

"Besides, what are they trying to do climbing up there? Or are they trying to escape from something?"

"Is there something they'd rather avoid at the foot of the cliff?"

Upon thinking of this, Qi Xuan actually remembered it.

In the instant his spirituality crumbled, he vaguely saw what appeared to be a building at the very bottom of the cliff.

It looks like a temple?
But he was too far away and the view was too blurry, so he wasn't very sure.

Moreover, even if it really is a temple, it's hard to say what the connection is between it and those bloody handprints.

What if they're all in cahoots?
Wouldn't going down there be like walking into a trap?

Qi Xuan looked up at Shan Lu opposite him, casually took out the second Spirit Ascension Talisman, and instantly ignited it.

The overflowing spirituality immediately rushed towards the opposite side.

It won't work down there, but what about the other side...?

The spirit flew halfway, then abruptly vanished.

For a moment, Qi Xuan felt completely empty and almost didn't react.

"What the hell?"

"How could it have suddenly disappeared?"

He couldn't even detect the source of the attack.

Qi Xuan frowned, looking at the person opposite him with great apprehension.

It was only a few hundred meters away, but at that moment it felt like an insurmountable distance.

"It now seems that it is indeed difficult to go through the south."

Facing the camera, Qi Xuan spoke slowly.

I just used two Spirit Ascension Talismans to probe, which probably took less than a minute.

According to netizens, he was probably observing the situation around the cliff.

That is indeed the case, only the perspective and degree of observation are different.

Since we can't go south, we'll have to go north.

Upon hearing this, netizens were immediately filled with confusion.
"North? Is it still possible to go north?"

"Didn't I already go to the north?"

"Yes, I heard it's very dangerous over there, and impossible to cross."

"Instead of running from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, you might as well stay here and figure out a way to get down."

……

Having roughly grasped the netizens' thoughts, Qi Xuan continued:
"I retreated from the north because I encountered an insurmountable danger."

But now, a few days have passed, and I have grown a lot.

The original danger has also been resolved.

Perhaps this time, I will be able to successfully complete the game.

No, I'm guaranteed to beat it!

Seeing Qi Xuan's determined expression, netizens also became very interested.

Qi Xuan then stopped lingering and began to retrace his steps. After walking for a while, he felt slightly tired.

He turned off the live stream, found a place to rest, and temporarily recovered his energy.

At the same time, the lottery will begin.

"70B, the popularity points I'm gaining lately are getting higher and higher every day, which is quite good news."

Looking at the popularity score on the lottery wheel, Qi Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Even though all four directions were blocked, he wasn't as desperate as everyone imagined.

With the system in place, he can continuously acquire various resources. Coupled with his own diligent cultivation, he improves every day and will eventually be able to overcome all obstacles around him.

Even if the dangers ahead increase, it doesn't matter.

At worst, I'll just survive until I reach the Nascent Soul stage and then return directly to Earth.

This place is so dangerous, I'm not playing with you anymore, okay?
Therefore, Qi Xuan is still quite open-minded and has not been affected by his current predicament at all.

"Let's see what good stuff our system Old Deng can pull out today."

Qi Xuan hummed a song and drew his first prize of the day.

Haha, a roll of steel wire rope.

"Euro-African conservation, after the worst comes the best!"

Second draw.

Buy one pound for fifteen yuan and get half a pound free... fried chicken neck bones.

"It's alright, not bad."

"So what if I time-traveled? Who can't still eat chicken neck bones from Earth?"

Qi Xuan crunched on the spicy chicken neck bone and casually ordered a third serving.

"Alas! Single-use item!"

"Give me something useful!"

"Give me something useful!"

The light group exploded.

What fell was a bright green pill that exuded a refreshing fragrance.

Aokidan.

This is definitely a healing pill, its effect is only slightly worse than the Blood-Severing Pill, but it surpasses the Blood-Severing Grass.

Unfortunately, he had used up all his Blood-Severing Grass in the battle against the Sawtooth Tyrannosaurus.

Drawing a Green Wood Pill now couldn't be more timely.

Qi Xuan put away the Green Wood Pill, then clicked on the fourth draw.

The fourth draw is still a single-item draw.

After touching the light cluster.

What fell was a fire-avoidance talisman.

"If only I had a water-repelling talisman."

Qi Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Having drawn the water-avoidance talisman, he no longer needed to take a detour. Before the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm could react, he directly crossed the entire river.

"Keep going!"

The fifth draw was still a single item.

But this time, the item drawn was a concealment talisman.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is just the right time."

Qi Xuan carefully put away the Concealment Talisman.

"It's the sixth draw."

"Could it be that a single item is being fired multiple times?"

The thought had barely formed in my mind when the pointer stopped at [Various Materials].

"Nima!"

Qi Xuan was speechless.

He casually pointed at the ball of light.

The result was pretty good; a Mystic Crystal dropped.

This thing is a refining material, and it's of a relatively low grade. It's not even comparable to Crimson Flame Stone; it's not even considered a low-grade material.

However, it's quite useful for raising monsters that like to devour metal magnetic crystals.

"The last draw."

This draw was yet another single-item draw.

Qi Xuan calmed his mind and clicked on the ball of light.

What fell down was actually... a Swiftness Talisman?

"This is good stuff, it's really good stuff."

"If I had drawn this talisman yesterday, I could have shaken off that peak second-tier beast long ago, and I wouldn't have been chased around like a chicken and a dog later."

Qi Xuan was immediately delighted.

This adds another trump card to our subsequent exploration.

After carefully storing the Swift Travel Talisman, Qi Xuan rested for a while before continuing his journey.

To overcome the predicament in the north, some preparations still need to be made.
