Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Just because you can read, can you do things for the Fairy like Wang Er did?!"

"Of course. I can't be illiterate when working for the Fairy!"

Everyone was surprised and excited for a moment.

They wanted to ask something else, but found that Lady Keqing had already entered the cave, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Ms. Lin, you are so rich!"

"Yes, we have been favored by you. We may have to rely on you to take care of us in the future."

Seeing so many people suddenly talking to her, Ms. Lin didn't know what to answer for a moment. She stared at Keqing's back in a daze.

"Can I help the fairy lady?"

……

……

[Speaking of which, Master, you have been delayed here for half a month. When are you going to leave? ]

"Don't worry. It will probably take another month for this group of people to stabilize."

The further we go into the cave, the richer the spiritual energy becomes. Does it really seem like what Little Coal Ball said, this is a spiritual vein?

"You also know that I can't just stand by and watch them. Venerable Guangheng also said that there is no need to rush the investigation. The disappearance of the immortal cultivators is likely related to the secret realm, and the secret realm will not be opened for another half a year. This period of time is enough."

Half a year is enough time for this group of people to settle down.

Even at this moment, Keqing would not have thought that under Wang Sui's call, many refugees had begun to pour in, and a few thousand people at most would be enough in her plan.

She also didn't expect that in the future, this seed would thrive and grow to a level that even she herself was surprised.

Keqing knew nothing about this at the time, she just followed her heart. When she saw the people suffering, she couldn't just stand by and watch them die. When she saw people doing evil, she could only guide them personally and lead them onto the right path.

People with ability need to take responsibility, and she happens to have this ability.

Of course, Keqing also remembered what Master Guangheng had asked her to do, as well as her own purpose, so she tried her best to reduce her own involvement while helping, so that this group of people would not become dependent on her when she left.

The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes. This dimness does not mean that there is no light, but that the surrounding darkness slowly absorbs the light of the flame in your hand.

Da

Da da

The only sound echoing in my ears was the sound of my own footsteps.

They walked like this for about half a quarter of an hour, and finally, the man and the insect saw a light in the distance, which was a glowing cave.

[There is light! It must be a spiritual vein! ]

The little coal ball wanted to fly over excitedly, and even Keqing didn't have time to call out to him to stop.

However, at this moment, he suddenly screamed, accompanied by a crackling sound, and a faint smell of meat filled the air.

[Ahh! Master, there is electricity inside! ]

The little coal ball flew back quickly. Keqing took a look and realized that it was not light at all. It was clearly white thunder that was densely packed into a light.

Chapter 75: Black and White Thunder (Part 1)

No, there is not only white thunder, there is also some black thunder mixed in, but compared to the white thunder, the number of these black thunders is very small.

"Are you okay?"

[No. Fortunately, I have some resistance to lightning.]

Little Coal Ball muttered.

Seeing that he was fine, Keqing felt relieved, but then she disagreed.

"Don't be reckless again. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."

The little coal ball nodded, still frightened, obviously he had listened to it. Fortunately, he reacted and only his wings were touched, otherwise he would have become a charcoal-grilled insect.

He stared at the thunder running around in the space in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

[Master, do you know what kind of strange thunder this is? ]

Keqing looked closer and saw

Black thunder spread throughout the entire space, like a protective shield, blocking everything inside and making crackling sounds.

She couldn't tell what kind of thunder it was, and it wasn't recorded in the divine thunder atlas. But then again, the world is so big and full of wonders, how could a single atlas record all the thunder?

After all, why is there thunder deep underground, and why is the spiritual energy so abundant?

After thinking for a moment, she gently extended her index finger and touched the lightning. She thought she would feel a small pain like a small electric shock, but she didn't expect that her finger would pass through it completely. The lightning around it seemed to move away consciously and just surrounded her skin.

The little coal ball widened his eyes

[Master, do you know what this is? Why do the strange thunders give in to you?]

"I don't know either... But maybe they are afraid of something?"

Keqing shook her head. She didn't know either, but what she knew for sure was that these things were not strange thunders at all.

[Not a strange thunder!? ]

Little Coal Ball observed carefully and found the clue. These black and white lightnings were indeed lightning, but they were dead, like some kind of residual existence, and their power had become much smaller.

[Master, do you think this white lightning is similar to the last few disasters we suffered? ]

"…Yeah, I also discovered that, although the colors are different, the properties are indeed somewhat similar."

She nodded.

[So these white thunders did not attack the master because the master has the same aura of heavenly tribulation?]

Keqing folded her arms and thought for a moment.

"It's possible... Although the heavenly tribulation has no source and can only serve as power, all the tribulation thunder has been absorbed by my alien thunder as power, so there should be some remaining aura of the thunder tribulation."

"Besides, I have experienced the baptism of heavenly tribulation, so it is reasonable that some of the aura in my body remains."

[What about the black ones? These black thunders give people a very familiar feeling. ]

Hearing Little Coal Ball's mumbling, Keqing suddenly thought of something, and under Little Coal Ball's puzzled gaze, she took out a ball of black mud-like substance.

"Could it be it?"

[This is... isn't this the inner demon? !? Master, you still have this with you.]

Speaking of this inner demon, Little Coal Ball almost forgot about it. Now thinking about it, this is the most unlucky inner demon in history. He was caught by his own master and blocked the heavenly calamity. Later, before he was dead yet, he was beaten to pieces by the one from the Yan family. It can be said that the demon had a difficult life.

I thought this demon was gone, but I didn't expect there was still a corpse left behind! ?

In fact, Keqing was also a little surprised by this. After the thunder tribulation, the inner demon not only did not die, but also left behind a "corpse", and this "corpse" also had the effect of bewitching.

The moment she picked up the corpse, Keqing found that many thoughts that she didn't usually have flashed through her mind. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adapted and suppressed these thoughts.

It was then that she realized that if one was even slightly exposed to the "corpse" left behind by the death of this inner demon, one's mind would become confused, and the usual complicated thoughts would be magnified, and it could even be used as a kind of medicine to confuse the mind.

When the old man from the Yan family attacked her, she used this thing to interfere with his thoughts and protective spiritual energy, giving the Huiguang Sword an opportunity to attack. Otherwise, the sharpness of the sword itself would not be able to break through the protective spiritual energy of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The moment the black mud was taken out, the white thunders did not move, but those with a slight hint of black did move, which was like taking a step back.

"really……"

The white lightning is due to the aura of Tianjie on her body, so the black lightning is due to the inner demon?

[Then... Master, do you want to go in and take a look? ]

The little coal ball paused and looked at the thunder that had moved aside. The moment the master took out the body of the inner demon, the thunder seemed to have become darker, from white to light gray, which looked weird.

"Since we're already here, why not go in and take a look? There shouldn't be any danger."

Keqing thought about it and made up her mind.

Now that she has come this far, she might as well keep going. It is not her style to regret at the last minute.

Besides, I don’t feel anything unusual or dangerous at the moment.

"If you're scared, why not..."

[If the master wants to go, I will follow him of course]

Little Coal Ball answered without hesitation.

Seeing this, Keqing didn't say anything but walked into the space.

The dense thunder around was like the sea water being pushed away, leaving a long passage for the man and the insect.

There were crackling sounds everywhere in Keqing's ears. She found that the further she went in, the denser the thunder became around her. Each piece of white thunder was stained with a deep black. Unlike the outside, the further she went in, the more she could feel that the black and white were like incompatible water and fire, constantly attacking each other in this space.

It looks like two thunders are fighting, sometimes you have the upper hand and sometimes I have the upper hand.

However, although these two types of thunder attacked each other, they were unusually consistent when facing Keqing, a living person, that is, they stayed away from her, as if there was something on her body that both sides recognized as the same kind.

At this time, Keqing also understood a little.

"Sure enough, that black thing is actually demonic energy, right?"

[Demonic energy!? Can demonic energy also transform into thunder?]

Little Coal Ball said in surprise, yes, those thunders were not real thunders, but demonic energy.

Now the man and the insect understood why they attacked each other. One was a natural calamity, and the other was demonic energy. Isn’t it a fight between two different energies?

It would be the same even if the demonic energy was replaced with spiritual energy, but the strange thing was that the spiritual energy around it did not participate in it and remained free, as if the heavenly tribulation was targeting the demonic energy itself.

It was like being locked in a tribulation.

The further they went inside, the more the thunder inside seemed to condense into substance, just like water, but none of this affected Keqing.

Just like that, because she didn't feel any danger, Keqing kept walking inside.

Until she reached the end.

Then... I saw an egg.

Chapter 76: Owner (Part 2)

【Egg? 】

The little coal ball suddenly flew forward, but because he remembered what happened just now, he was very careful this time.

The egg was very large, pure black, and emitting dark demonic energy. It was the demonic energy that attacked the white thunder outside.

As Keqing got closer to the black egg, the spiritual energy around her became more abundant. Upon closer inspection, she found that the bottom of the black egg was translucent, as if there was colorful moisturizing glass buried underneath, and there seemed to be rivers of light flowing under her feet.

[It’s a spiritual vein! ]

“Is this the spiritual vein?”

Looking at the colorful "underground river" under your feet, it is as beautiful as the starry sky. A large amount of spiritual energy emanates from the underground river. The rich five elements of spiritual energy fills the space. It is extremely spectacular, as if every pore is soaked in a hot spring of spiritual energy, making people relax unconsciously.

The spiritual energy that is usually difficult to transform has its transformation efficiency increased by more than ten times at this moment.

Keqing seemed to be thinking about something. No wonder people like natural treasures and flock to them. If it is such a natural treasure, a treasure that can improve one's realm, I am afraid that everyone will fight for it like crazy when they see it.

I am fine, these spiritual energies only serve to restore my strength, but for the people in this world, spiritual energy is far more than just this.

Not to mention that more than half of this spiritual energy was absorbed by the black egg. That's right, the black egg emitting demonic energy could actually absorb spiritual energy. The two energies that were as powerful as water and fire did not even collide or rub against each other on this egg. Not only was Keqing a little curious, but even Little Coal Ball had never seen such a thing before.

However, the world is so big and full of wonders, and there are so many things that people have never seen. Even he is not omniscient and omnipotent, so he just sighed and then asked Keqing what she thought.

[Master, it seems that this spiritual vein is still very healthy. In my opinion, this should be a low-grade spiritual vein, which will soon be promoted to a medium-grade one.]

[Obviously, this egg grew by absorbing the spiritual veins here, no...]

Little Coal Ball looked around carefully.

[There aren't any spirit stones around here, and this trace doesn't look like the terrain that a spirit vein should have.]

"How to say?"

Keqing asked, did Little Coal Ball discover something?

[That's right, Master. Wherever the spirit stone is, there must be a spirit vein. Over time, the rich spirit energy will infect the surrounding soil, making it hard and gradually transforming into a mineral vein.]

[However, after observing the surroundings, I found that there were no such signs around. There is only one possibility, that is, this spiritual vein has not appeared for long. ]

However, the appearance of a spiritual vein must have been gradually produced by heaven and earth over a long period of time. How could it be possible that it was born not long ago? Even if it was born not long ago, the soil around it should have turned into jade long ago. How could the conditions for the formation of a spiritual vein not have any signs of jadeification, not to mention a low-grade spiritual vein that is about to become a medium-grade one?

"In other words, this spiritual vein was placed here not long ago, and its owner is likely to be this black egg? Or the owner of the black egg, a relative or something like that?"

Keqing said thoughtfully.
