Chapter 21 – Mysterious source

"Da Zhong is such a coward! After all, he's been alive for thousands of years and knows how to live!"

Xu Ying secretly admired Da Zhong's openness and thought to himself, "The female ghost knows the owner of Qin Yan Cave? So she came to Qin Yan Cave not to kill us, but to pay respects to her deceased friend."

He blinked his eyes, "What does the female ghost mean by calling this place Ascension Ground? What are the Abyss of Cangwu and the Immortal of Eternal Youth?"

In the palace, a girl's voice came, ethereal and as if in the clouds, "Are you alive or dead? If you are alive, where have you gone? I searched all over the Divine Land, why can't I find your trace?"

She walked into the black coffin, the lid closed, and with the chain howling, flew out of the White Jade Palace towards the outside of Qin Yan Cave, leaving only a mournful voice echoing in the cave.

"Are you ascended or deceased? Why did I wake up after three thousand years, and there is only me left in the world..."

Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl in the coffin was careful enough, she would find Da Zhong sinking in the water, and in a fit of anger, she might kill both Xu Yao Wang and Niu Yao Wang.

Suddenly, Xu Ying remembered Da Zhong and hurriedly salvaged the bell.

However, Da Zhong seemed to be in a bad mood and sank into the water, refusing to come up.

Xu Ying tried to salvage it several times but failed. He couldn't help getting angry and shouted, "If you have the ability, go fight the female ghost. What's the point of bullying me?"

Da Zhong was also a coward and didn't dare to fight the girl in the coffin. It flew out of the water and splashed the water in the bell onto Xu Ying's head.

This action seemed to exhaust all its strength, and it fell again with a clanging sound, following behind Xu Ying.

Xu Ying didn't care about it and used his blood to dry his clothes, following Yuan Qi towards the White Jade Palace.

In front of the palace, Xu Ying stopped and looked up.

The door of the White Jade Palace was engraved with characters that were different from any other characters in the world. They looked like the traces of tadpoles crawling in the mud or the claw marks of birds in the snow.

Yuan Qi said, "Don't look. My ancestors for three generations didn't recognize the characters on the door, and I don't know what this place is called."

Xu Ying's face looked strange and said, "The characters on it say 'Niwang Palace Cave Heaven'."

Yuan Qi asked in confusion, "Do you recognize these characters?"

He was surprised that Xu Ying, a commoner, could recognize these characters while his family, who had studied extensively, couldn't understand them.

Xu Ying's eyes were strange and said, "I've never seen this kind of characters before, but it's strange that after seeing them, I naturally know what they mean, how to read them, and how to pronounce them. It's like..."

He frowned, as if these characters had been engraved in his mind for a long time!

But he desperately tried to recall that he had never learned or seen these characters before!

Yuan Qi was very puzzled and remembered Xu Ying's strange behavior. He asked, "Ying, have you ever lost your memory?"Xu Ying laughed out loud and said, "I have never lost my memory! How could I lose my memory? I was smart since childhood, with an incredibly clear memory. I can even recall when I was ten months old!"

His heart ached as he remembered every detail of the fire that destroyed the Xu family's village, even the sight of his parents perishing in the flames.

He wanted to forget this memory, but he couldn't.

Yuan Qi blinked his eyes and thought to himself, "You even remembered your parents' names wrong. It seems that your memory is not reliable. Did someone damage your brain before?"

Da Zhong rolled on the ground, clearly also doubting Xu Ying's memory.

Xu Ying looked at the strange characters on the door lintel and suddenly had a thought. He took out the "Mud Pellet Hidden Scenery Qi Refining Method" and looked up at the characters on the door, wondering, "The Mud Pellet Palace and the Mud Pellet Hidden Scenery Qi Refining Method both have mud pellets. Is there any connection between them?"

The Mud Pellet Secret is one of the six secrets in the human body. Opening any one of them can make one a Nuo Shi. And the secret that the Nuo Shi family, the Zhou family, controls is the Mud Pellet!

The Mud Pellet Secret was too attractive to Xu Ying and was about to become his obsession!

Yuan Qi was in front of him, calling him into the palace. Xu Ying put aside his distractions and walked into the palace. He saw bookshelves everywhere, and the books were neatly arranged.

Yuan Qi said that his family had lived here for three hundred years and had collected countless ancient books. "All the ancient books that Zero Ling can find are here. I have read all these books."

Xu Ying was both admiring and ashamed. Compared to this snake demon, he was really ignorant.

Suddenly, Yuan Qi's face changed, and he shouted, "Ah Ying, I suddenly feel that the blood and qi in my body are turning into the power of transformation. I'm probably going to transform into a human!"

His vision became a little blurry, and his eyes looked whitish, indicating the sign of transformation.

Yuan Qi hurriedly entered a room in the white jade palace and said, "Don't wander around while I'm in seclusion. Wu Wang Mountain has become Wu Wang Mountain, and I'm not familiar with the geography of the current Wu Wang Mountain!"

He had to find a safe place to shed his old skin and transform. If he delayed, he might suffocate in his old skin!

Xu Ying came to the jade bi and looked up.

The woman in the coffin stood in this position, mourning her loved one in front of the jade bi.

The jade bi was engraved with a strange mountain. The mountain was steep and towering, high into the clouds, with the momentum of surpassing all the other mountains in the world!

As a snake catcher, Xu Ying ran around every day to catch exotic snakes. Which mountain had he not seen? But the mountain engraved on the jade bi, he had never seen it before!

This mountain was tall and steep, towering into the clouds. There was no such high mountain in Zero Ling!

Not to mention Zero Ling, there was probably no such magnificent mountain in the whole Divine Land!Xu Ying's heart moved slightly as he murmured, "In the south of Xiaoxiang, in the depths of Cangwu. Below Jiuyi Mountain, there is an immortal who never ages. Could it be that the mountain in the painting is Jiuyi Mountain?"

"But Jiuyi Mountain is not that high at all!"

Xu Ying was full of doubts. He had been to Jiuyi Mountain several times before. Although it was beautiful, the mountain was not high enough to be the one in the painting!

However, if Wu Wang Mountain could turn into Wumang Mountain, then perhaps the real appearance of Jiuyi Mountain was this strange mountain in the painting?

"Unfortunately, Yuan Qi is in seclusion, otherwise we could go and see Jiuyi Mountain."

Xu Ying was also a little tired and chose a room to stay in. He had been on the run for these few days and was truly exhausted, but his spirit was very excited. He couldn't sleep for a while, so he picked up a book from the bookshelf and read a few pages.

After reading two or three pages, Xu Ying's head tilted, and he fell asleep with a snore.

He slept for a long time. When he woke up from his dream, he felt his blood and energy were thriving. There was a strange vitality in Qin Yan Cave, which continuously improved his cultivation. He had only slept here for one night, but he felt that his cultivation had improved significantly!

"What a blessed place!"

Xu Ying suddenly smelled an unpleasant odor on his body, probably from passing through the underworld and being contaminated with the smell of decay.

Yuan Qi was still in seclusion and had not woken up yet.

He went outside the palace, stripped himself naked, and jumped into the pool outside the palace.

"Huh, I have grown a few hairs here." Xu Ying looked down and was puzzled. He muttered to himself, "Strange hairs, growing everywhere. I'll just pluck them out."

He vigorously washed away the dirt on his body and touched the place where he was injured before. Then he saw a plant of Zhi grass on the bank and suddenly froze.

"No, something's not right!"

Xu Ying was dumbfounded for a while, muttering to himself, "Is it the vitality in Qin Yan Cave that is healing me, or is it my own vitality that is healing me? Is the strange energy in Qin Yan Cave really vitality?"

He had seen the situation where plants grew wildly under the influence of vitality, but the Zhi grass on the bank did not grow wildly.

In other words, the vitality and activity emitted by Qin Yan Cave were not true vitality and activity. The power that healed Xu Ying and Yuan Qi's scars did not come from Qin Yan Cave, but from themselves!

"The mysterious power in Qin Yan Cave can stimulate our own vitality and activity!"

Xu Ying's eyes flickered. Where did the vitality and activity in the human body come from?

"The Niyuan Secret Treasure." He whispered.

The Niyuan Secret Treasure contained human vitality and activity, and this White Jade Palace was also called the Niyuan Palace. He had previously felt that there seemed to be a connection between the Niyuan Palace and the Niyuan Secret Treasure, and now he suddenly realized it.

"The mysterious power in Qin Yan Cave can stimulate the Niyuan Secret Treasure!"

Xu Ying sat in the water, murmuring to himself, "Yes, it's the Mud Pill Secret. I just need to trace the mysterious power of the Qin Yan Cave, find the path inside the body, and then locate the dragon to find the Mud Pill Secret in the human body! But I'm not injured..."

He thought of this and suddenly pointed his finger, piercing his own thigh with his finger force!

Blood gushed from his thigh, but Xu Ying gritted his teeth and focused his mind. Under his eyelids, divine light appeared, and his divine consciousness reappeared!

He pushed open the door and entered the realm of Xi Yi inside his body.

Streams of weak air flowed into his internal world from the outside world. These weak flows of air were the mysterious power that seeped into his body from the mud pool!

These weak streams of air were attracted by a mysterious place in his body and flowed in the same direction.

"Just as I thought!"

Xu Ying's divine consciousness followed these streams of air and flew freely!

His divine consciousness flew at lightning speed, whistling and passing through the heart and lungs as big as a mountain. But it still didn't stop!

He followed the streams of air and shuttled through the realm of Xi Yi, exploring and discovering more mysteries of the human body.

Looking up, he saw a huge pagoda-like structure above him, stacked in order, while on either side were towering heart and lung mountains.

His divine consciousness whistled and flew over the heart and lung mountains, tracking the streams of air through one magnificent pagoda after another. Suddenly, he saw a bright light ahead, and as he flew closer, he saw a vast Jade Pool like a lake!

Above the Jade Pool hung a Divine Bridge!

Xu Ying was dizzy and followed the streams of air to fly over the Divine Bridge. Looking up, he saw a sun as big as a mountain hanging in the sky, burning with raging flames!

Beside the sun was a moon as big as an unimaginable size, emitting a cold light, shining with the sun!

"There are so many places in my body that I have never been to!"

Xu Ying's divine consciousness passed through the sun and moon and followed the streams of air to a vast and immeasurable place in the realm of Xi Yi!

A chaotic area in his brain.

His divine consciousness floated in front of the chaotic gas in his mind. In the center of this chaotic gas was a chaotic mass, like an oversized and super round egg, floating in the center of the chaotic gas.

The mysterious energy in the mud pool drilled into this chaotic egg and disappeared without a trace, and then his physical vitality was stimulated to heal his body injuries!

"The Mud Pill Secret of the six secrets in the human body is in this chaotic egg!"

Xu Ying regained his composure. The Mud Pill Secret was right in front of him, but finding it was one thing, and opening it was another!

Just as Xu Ying was thinking about this, the chaotic area in his mind suddenly shook slightly and rippled.

He looked towards the source of the ripples in amazement.Suddenly, a large bell appeared out of nowhere, swaying as if it were drunk. It flew to the top of the chaotic energy and stopped next to the chaotic egg.

The bell tried to push the chaotic egg aside, but it was too heavy, so it settled down.

On the bell's wall was a deep palm print, which belonged to the bell that followed Xu Ying!

The bell noticed Xu Ying's divine sense floating nearby and they stared at each other in silence.

The bell silently flew out of the brain domain.

After waiting for a moment, the bell flew back slowly and found that Xu Ying's divine sense was still there, confirming that it was not mistaken.

"You're here too, young man?" The bell rang out loudly.

Xu Ying's divine sense was agitated, "What do you mean, 'I'm here too'? This is my brain! How did you get in?"

"I came in through the jade pillow point at the back of your head."

The bell said honestly, "Your cultivation has improved, and my injuries have also healed somewhat. Since you didn't bring me with you, I came in first to sit down."

Since entering the Qin Yan Cave, Xu Ying's injuries have been cured, and various hidden illnesses in his body have been treated. His blood and energy are even stronger than before, so the bell took the opportunity to absorb more of Xu Ying's blood and energy to regain its mobility.

It planned to enter Xu Ying's mind to steal more blood and energy to heal itself, but unexpectedly met the owner of the brain, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Xu Ying didn't ask any further and asked, "How did you end up near my Niyuan Secret?"

"Is this the Niyuan Secret?" The bell was surprised and flew around the chaotic egg a few times, marveling, "No wonder I couldn't move it. I entered your brain through the jade pillow point and didn't know this was the Niyuan Secret."

Xu Ying explained how he tracked the mysterious energy in the Qin Yan Cave and used dragon positioning to find this place. He said, "The activation of my physical activity by the mysterious energy here indicates that this must be the Niyuan Secret."

In the bell's time, there was no concept of human body secrets, so it was a bit confused and said, "Niyuan Palace, why can mysterious energy activate the Niyuan Secret? It's really strange."

Xu Ying said, "Dongtian Fudi has mysterious spiritual power, isn't that normal?"

The bell sneered, "Do you think Dongtian Fudi is cabbage, and it's everywhere? Dongtian Fudi is limited and each one has its own origin. Although this is an ancient cave, it is impossible to have a Dongtian! The owner of this place calls it Niyuan Palace Dongtian, just to make themselves look good."

Xu Ying pondered, "Since the mysterious energy in the Qin Yan Cave is not spiritual power, it's strange. This power is probably not formed naturally..."He suddenly brightened his eyes and laughed: "If I can follow the direction of the mysterious energy to find the Mud Pill Secret, then I can also follow the direction of the mysterious energy to find the source!"
