Chapter 72: The Secret Beneath the Cliff
The manifested spirituality quickly swept towards the deep gorge under the Cliff.
In an instant, all the surrounding scenery quickly reflected into Qi Xuan’s consciousness.
It was as if there was a scanner, scanning everything around in all directions without any blind spots.
Even the details of the arrangement of the gravel on the cliff face were all visible at a glance.
I have to say, the effect of the Spirit-Ascending Talisman was indeed quite exaggerated.
This way, maybe…
Before the thoughts could extend further, the spirituality that had entered under the cliff began to fluctuate violently.
The increasingly strong gale seemed to be able to blow it away at any time.
The surrounding environment also became increasingly dark, making it difficult to distinguish clearly.
When the spirituality was completely shredded by the gale, Qi Xuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine and couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
He looked at the deep gorge under the cliff with a lot of apprehension, his expression changing uncertainly.
Just now, he faintly saw many Bloody Handprints on the mountain wall under the cliff, as well as traces of climbing.
The problem was that the traces of those Bloody Handprints were extremely different from the hands of normal humans.
Some had seven or eight fingers.
Some had two hands stuck together.
Some had extremely small palms and extremely long fingers.
Some had fingers that were thick and deformed into a mass of flesh.
…
Moreover, there were only handprints, no footprints, don’t you think it’s strange?
Could it be that they only have hands?
He, who had been severely poisoned by the Blue Star network, immediately came up with various monster pictures that were difficult to describe with words.
Qi Xuan quickly used a picture to scatter them.
When his mood calmed down, he pondered again:
“It shouldn’t be like this, logically speaking.”
“Isn’t this a cultivation world? How could this kind of thing appear?”
“Could it be that there are some aftereffects from failing cultivation?”
“Besides, what are they climbing up for? Or rather, what are they trying to escape from?”
“Is there something under the cliff that they can’t avoid?”
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan really remembered.
At the moment the spirituality was destroyed, he faintly saw that there seemed to be some kind of building at the very bottom of the cliff.
It looked like a temple?
But it was too far away, and he couldn’t see it clearly, so he wasn’t very sure.
And even if it really was a temple, it was hard to say what kind of relationship it had with those Bloody Handprints.
What if they were in cahoots?
Wouldn’t going down there be like walking into a trap?
Qi Xuan looked up at the Mountain Ridge opposite, casually took out the second Spirit-Ascending Talisman, and instantly ignited it.
The overflowing spirituality immediately rushed towards the opposite side.
It wouldn’t work down there, but on the opposite side…
The spirituality vanished abruptly halfway through its flight.
For a moment, Qi Xuan felt empty, and almost didn’t react.
“What the hell?”
“Why did it suddenly disappear?”
He couldn’t even detect the source of the attack.
Qi Xuan frowned, looking at the opposite side with a lot of apprehension.
It was only a few hundred meters away, but it felt like it was at the ends of the earth.
“It seems that it’s really difficult to get through the south side.”
Facing the camera, Qi Xuan slowly spoke.
It probably took less than a minute to probe with two Spirit-Ascending Talismans just now.
In the eyes of the netizens, he was probably observing the situation around the cliff.
In fact, that was indeed the case, but the angle of observation was different, and the degree of observation was also different.
“Since we can’t go through the south, then we can only go north.”
The netizens were immediately puzzled when they heard this:
“North? Can we still go north?”
“I remember we went north before, didn’t we?”
“Yeah, I heard it’s also very dangerous there, and it’s impossible to pass through.”
“Instead of running from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, you might as well stay here and figure out a way to go down.”
…
After roughly understanding the netizens’ thoughts, Qi Xuan continued:
“The reason I retreated from the north back then was because I encountered an unsolvable danger.
But now, several days have passed, and I have also grown a lot.
I have also found a corresponding solution to the original danger.
Perhaps this time, I can succeed in clearing the level.
No, I will definitely clear the level!”
Seeing Qi Xuan’s determined expression, the netizens also became interested.
After that, Qi Xuan didn’t delay any further and started to return along the original route.
After walking for a while, he felt a little tired.
He closed the Live Stream, found a place to rest, and temporarily recovered his energy.
At the same time, he started the Lottery.
“70B, the Popularity Points I’ve gained recently are really increasing day by day, which is also considered good news.”
Looking at the Popularity Points on the Lottery Turntable, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but smile.
In fact, even if all four directions were impassable, he wasn’t as desperate as everyone imagined.
With the existence of the system, he could constantly obtain various resources, and coupled with his own diligent cultivation, he improved every day, and sooner or later he would be able to break through the various obstacles around him.
Even if the dangers ahead became greater and greater, it didn’t matter.
At worst, I’ll become a Nascent Soul and directly return to Blue Star.
This place is so dangerous, can’t I just stop playing with you?
So Qi Xuan was still quite open-minded now, and wasn’t affected by the current predicament at all.
“Let’s see what good things our system old man can burst out today.”
Qi Xuan hummed a song and went straight for today’s first draw.
Haha, a roll of steel wire rope.
“The conservation of luck, after extreme adversity comes good fortune!”
The second draw.
Fifteen yuan for one jin, get half a jin free… Chicken neck bones.
“It’s not bad.”
“So what if I’m transmigrated? Who can’t eat chicken neck bones from Blue Star?”
Qi Xuan munched on the spicy and fragrant chicken neck bones and casually clicked on the third draw.
“Woohoo! Single Item!”
“Give me something useful!”
“Give me something useful!”
The Light Ball burst.
What fell was a bright green Pill filled with a fresh aura.
Green Wood Pill.
This was definitely a healing Pill, its effect was only slightly worse than the Blood-Stopping Grass, but it was better than the Blood-Stopping Grass.
It just so happened that his only Blood-Stopping Grass was used up in the battle against the Serrated Tyrant Yuan.
Now that he had drawn a Green Wood Pill, it came at just the right time.
Qi Xuan put away the Green Wood Pill and then clicked on the fourth draw.
The fourth draw was still a Single Item.
After touching the Light Ball.
What fell was a Fire Avoidance Talisman.
“How great it would be if it were a Water Avoidance Talisman.”
Qi Xuan couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
If he had drawn a Water Avoidance Talisman, he wouldn’t have to take a detour, and he could directly cross the entire River before the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm reacted.
“Continue, continue!”
The fifth draw was still a Single Item.
But this time, what he drew was a Conceal Breath Talisman.
“Tsk tsk tsk, this really came at the right time.”
Qi Xuan carefully put away the Conceal Breath Talisman.
“It’s the sixth draw.”
“Could it be that Single Items will come in a row?”
As soon as the thought fell, the pointer stopped at 【Various Materials】.
“Damn!”
Qi Xuan was simply speechless.
He casually clicked on the Light Ball.
The result was not bad, a piece of Xuan Magnetic Crystal fell.
This thing was a Refining material, the grade was relatively low, not to mention compared to the Vermillion Flame Stone, it wasn’t even considered a low-grade material.
However, it was quite useful for raising some Demon Beasts that liked to Devour metal magnetic crystals.
“The last draw.”
This draw was also a Single Item.
Qi Xuan calmed his mind and opened the Light Ball.
What fell was actually… a Swift Travel Talisman?
“Good stuff, really good stuff.”
“If I had drawn this Talismans yesterday, I would have been able to shake off that Second Rank Peak long ago, and I wouldn’t have been chased around like a chicken and a dog later.”
Qi Xuan was immediately quite happy.
This was considered to have added another trump card for the subsequent exploration.
After putting away the Swift Travel Talisman, Qi Xuan rested for a while and continued on his way.
To break through the predicament in the north, he still needed to make some preparations.
