Chapter 75

"The Son of the Temple of Heaven … has the surname Yun."

Sang Yuanyuan muttered, "Other than the royal family, there are also people with the surname Yun who have been bestowed the surname of the royal family because of their loyalty and bravery or because of their great contributions."

"Yes." You Wuming's expression was indifferent.

Sang Yuanyuan understood his train of thought — it wasn't that troublesome, they could just kill him.

It was also a simple and crude way to end all troubles.

She thought for a moment and said, "A man who can travel such a long distance to give blessings to the Coming of Age ceremony is obviously not from the royal family of the Yun family, but someone who has been bestowed the surname Yun.

I don't know if there are any records in Yunzhou. "

You Wuming said, "If there are records, they should have been found after such a long time."

"Then there are no records." Sang Yuanyuan was a little disappointed.

"It's okay." He rested his chin on top of her head and said softly, "When the time comes, we'll cook the Temple of Heaven. Who cares if he's fat or thin, round or flat?

Don't think too much, just leave it to me. "

"Yes." Sang Yuanyuan turned around and smiled. "The antidotes that we refined along the way should be sent to Yun Xuzhou soon. I hope they can successfully get rid of the Blood Nematode Spirit Gu."

The Yun family's bloodline was' cursed '500 years ago. As long as it was a man, he would definitely be weak and disabled, and it would be extremely difficult for him to move.

It was also because of this that Sang Yuanyuan could immediately determine that the Son of the Temple of Heaven with the surname Yun, who had tampered with her Coming of Age ceremony, was definitely not from the royal family, because the men of the royal family of the Yun family definitely did not have the ability to travel thousands of miles to pray for others.

A month ago, Sang Yuanyuan and the others followed the clues to the East Sea Lake and found out that the so-called 'curse' in the Yun family's bloodline was actually a type of Blood Nematode Spirit Gu that lived in the clams of the East Sea Lake. After being refined by the Inextinguishable Fire, it lurked in the Yun family's bloodline and harmed men but not women.

After You Wuming succeeded in subduing the Inextinguishable Fire, he refined the herbs that were specially used to subdue the Blood Nematode Spirit Gu into spiritual medicine and sent someone to Yunzhou to Yun Xuzhou. It should be sent soon.

Sang Yuanyuan collected his thoughts and muttered to himself.

She asked, "Speaking of the Yun Clan, do you think that the Huangfu Clan was really behind the bloodline curse of the Yun Clan?"

"Hmm?

You have other ideas? "You Wuming tilted his head to look at her.

Sang Yuanyuan said, "I just find it strange.

Why do you want to use this bloodworm? "

You Wuming rolled his eyes slowly. After a while, he rubbed his chin and said, "I never thought about it before."

Sang Yuanyuan said: "Since he has the ability to plant this Blood Gu, it shouldn't be difficult for him to kill people.

Now that the Yun Clan had a woman in charge, logically speaking, the person who started all this should be nervous and on guard.

But as far as I can tell, the Huangfu Clan does not have any malicious intent towards the Yun Clan.

Furthermore, the Blood Nematode isn't a secret. If we investigate it carefully, we will find out the truth sooner or later. It doesn't make sense to use our own specialty to poison it. "

You Wuming looked pensive.

Sang Yuanyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" You Wuming raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

She laughed and said, "I'm just blinded by the benefits!

After receiving benefits from the Huangfu Xiong, I unconsciously started to speak for his clan! "

You Wuming laughed lightly.

She waved her hand. "Don't think about it, don't think about it. Let's solve the matter at hand first, then see if there's a way to start with that Holy Child Yun."

… …

After going deep into the abyss, there was no more light in front of them.

Sang Yuanyuan thought for a while, then tried to get the man-eating flower to transfer the heat generated by digesting the Nether Demon into the veins of the flower petals, using it to light up.

In the darkness, two red lanterns with their mouths wide open suddenly appeared.

Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"

With a clear light, she quickly discovered that the underground abyss was connected in all directions. From time to time, they would encounter a fork in the road, or a narrower passage that converged together.

The cave was slanted downwards.

With the man-eating flower opening the way and covering the rear, the journey became safe and boring.

You Wuming continued to refine the Heavenly Lightning. Sang Yuanyuan gently leaned against him, meditating to heal her injuries.

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Yuanyuan was awakened by You Wuming's fingertips.

He tapped her shoulder and said nervously, "Little Sang Guo, extinguish your pig-head lantern."

Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"

She put away the bright man-eating flower. Her vision darkened, and she couldn't see anything.

When her eyes slowly adjusted and she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but gasp. She was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know if this was a paradise or purgatory.

Sang Yuanyuan stared blankly in front of her.

Her field of vision was vast and empty.

She and You Wuming were currently at a place similar to a platform. A few steps forward, there was a small cliff about ten feet deep. Below the cliff was a vast underground space.

In that instant, it felt like they had been crawling in a cave for a long time, and suddenly, a vast sky and sea appeared in front of them.

Their minds unconsciously flew forward, spreading to the end of their field of vision.

She looked around and saw that there were many passageways on the three stone walls that were similar to the one she came from. They extended from all directions to this place. Countless nether devils crawled out from the passageways and landed in the vast underground space below the cliff.

The area below was densely packed with Nether Demons. The Nether Demons that had gathered from all directions were neatly crawling towards the east.

This was supposed to be the scene of purgatory. However, this spacious underground space was actually formed by the convergence of five intertwined spiritual veins.

From the dome above to the four stone walls, and then to the stone path beneath the Nether Demons, there was a faint glow unique to spirit veins everywhere.

In the entire underground space, the five spirit veins wound around each other, giving off a dazzling five-colored glow. These glowing ribbons formed a spiral, extending endlessly towards the east.

Under the illumination of these five-colored lights, the Nether Demons didn't look so terrifying. They looked like transparent five-colored lizards.

"We've reached Qin Prefecture." You Wuming whispered into her ear, his voice low and hoarse.

Hearing this, she suppressed her excitement.

She naturally had to be excited. There were so many spirit veins, how much were they worth!

"Are all of Qin Prefecture's underground spirit veins like this?" Sang Yuanyuan's expression was already shocked.

"We'll know when we go take a look." You Wuming said, "Release flowers."

His black eyes turned, and he added, "The Nether Demons underground are soaked in spirit veins. They will definitely produce a lot of Solid Jade Crystals. It's too wasteful to kill them."

Sang Yuanyuan: "Yes, yes, yes." She definitely wouldn't expose that he didn't have the ability to personally kill the enemy.

She raised her hands, and man-eating flowers were thrown down the cliff one by one. They were like greedy snakes, gorging themselves, and pouncing towards the Nether Demons in the underground space.

In the cleared area, the five-colored ground and stone walls were like rainbow lollipops.

The doll couldn't hold back anymore. It opened its small wooden arms, jumped down, and hugged the colorful glass-like spirit veins, nibbling and rubbing them.

Its small face was filled with happiness, and there seemed to be four words engraved on its forehead: I'm not leaving!

Sang Yuanyuan stared at these glowing riches, and thought for a moment. Gradually, a bold idea appeared in her mind.

She commanded a man-eating flower to nibble on the spirit veins.

"Kacha, kacha —"

A crescent-shaped hole was quickly nibbled on the five-colored spirit veins, and the spirit fragments were stuffed into the giant flower bud by the man-eating flower.

Sang Yuanyuan waved her hand and kept the flower.

After a moment, she summoned it again. The man-eating flower's petals parted, and it spat out all the spirit fragments it had just swallowed.

"I'm rich." She calmly raised her chin.

She waved her hands, and 19 ultimate man-eating flowers pounced on the spirit veins, digging crazily, and storing the spirit fragments in their flower buds.

She focused and threw out the new original flower seeds. These new flowers with long brown stems were responsible for eating the fresh Nether Devils that came out of the tunnels.

When the first batch of 19 big flowers were completely filled, a new batch of small man-eating flowers had already grown. Sang Yuanyuan kept the first batch of flowers, and let the second batch of man-eating flowers continue to nibble on the spirit veins, and used the accumulated energy to summon the next batch of small man-eating flowers …

She quickly found the most efficient way.

She nurtured six flowers at once, and the energy produced was just enough to connect them seamlessly. After sending away a batch, she could produce the next batch.

You Wuming was already stunned.

Gou 'zi and Ou Zi's expressions were not much different from his.

A human, a dog, and a puppet squatted at the edge of the stone platform, and their mouths were opened at the same angle. Their six eyes followed the group of flowers below closely, watching them nibble on the spirit veins one by one …

It was a very boring process, but the three of them watched with great interest, and their eyes did not even blink.

The small man-eating flowers grew by eating the Nether Demons. After leveling up, they began to dismantle and move the spirit veins. The next batch of small flowers continued to grow …

The assembly line was completely formed, and the two batches of flower seeds alternated in an orderly manner. Their movements were very rhythmic, and the connection was smooth and natural.

In this underground space, the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the five spirit veins were about to be emptied by the man-eating flowers.

You Wuming turned his head, and his gaze strangely stared at Sang Yuanyuan's abdomen.

"Little Sang Guo, you can really eat."

She was slightly sullen. "I'm not the one eating."

She did not know where the flowers were kept, and her body did not feel bloated at all. It was just a little tiring, and it was not the same as usual.

Usually, these flowers would be put away, and she would not feel them anymore.

Today, after loading the spirit veins, she still had to spend a lot of energy to maintain the connection with the workers.

"Don't force it." You Wuming's gaze was a little drifting, and he said something against his will.

Sang Yuanyuan spread out her hands. "Even if I want to force it, I can't. I can't summon new man-eating flowers."

The six spirit strings in her mind, each of them was connected to nine ultimate man-eating flowers, and there were a total of fifty-four of them. She had reached her limit.

The puppet was the first to show a disappointed expression. The two corners of its mouth instantly collapsed, and its shoulders drooped a lot.

You Wuming nodded.

He said, "Then let's go at full speed.

Little Sang Guo, leave a flower to open the way. "

Sang Yuanyuan recalled a man-eating flower, and spat out the spirit fragments in the bud.

She saw a pile of sparkling crystals, like a small hill, piled up in front of her.

The puppet pounced forward, and opened its small arms to embrace the pile of crystal fragments.

You Wuming calmly instructed, "Take as many as you can."

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Sang Yuanyuan looked at the puppet that had taken off its robe and made it into a cloth bag. Its wooden belly was round and bulging, and it was still trying to trick Shang Ming into eating the crystal fragments. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

You Wuming pretended to be disgusted, walked forward, and quietly put a few more crystal fragments into his sleeves.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Other than pretending not to see it, what other choice did she have?

Two people, a dog, and a puppet finally went on their way.

The man-eating flower opened the way in front, and Shang Ming followed behind with its four hooves.

Under the deliberate control of Sang Yuanyuan, the man-eating flower no longer 'spat' out the Solid Jade Crystals along its tail, but stored them all in the bud — if it could store a whole bud full of Solid Jade Crystals, it would be amazing. There would be at least eighty to eighty boxes, and maybe even more.

The man-eating flower's volume was about two cubic meters, and the box was thirty centimeters long, wide, and high … Sang Yuanyuan silently calculated for a while, and decisively gave up.

A bad student was self-aware.

Along the way, they encountered many spirit veins, but the quality was not as good as the ones she took away.

"These spirit veins are buried very deep. I'm afraid the Qin Province only discovered the treasures buried underground when they were building the underground city. This made them even crazier to do this," Sang Yuanyuan muttered to himself.

"Yes."

The spirit iron ore was buried shallow, so it was enough to excavate the mountain, and there was no need to dig underground.

Qin Zhou probably only discovered the spirit veins when they were excavating the underground city.

No wonder Qin Zhou didn't have any financial problems after building the underground city for so many years. It turned out that they were digging to raise the spirit veins.

After the spirit veins were excavated and refined with special methods, the final product was Solid Jade Crystals.

Excavating a spirit vein was enough to support the construction of a large new underground city, and there was even a surplus to support the economy of the surface.

Sang Yuanyuan and the group traveled east for about a day and a night. Faintly, they seemed to hear the sound of digging.

"Our luck is not bad." You Wuming smiled. "Found it."

She didn't expect Qin Zhou's underground city to be so close to the abyss tunnel filled with Nether Demons.

Sang Yuanyuan could almost imagine the apocalyptic scene. After the surface was occupied by the Nether Demons, the people hiding underground were in a constant state of panic. Fear and joy accompanied every single one of them.

Until one day, the underground city that kept expanding suddenly found the entrance to hell. The Nether Demons found a delicious meal in front of them, and rushed into the underground city, taking over the last of the human's warmth.

In this dark underground, facing the Nether Demons' bloody mouth, the fear and despair in their hearts would be thousands of times stronger than on the surface.

It was only a matter of time before they fell.

"Sang Guo." You Wuming pulled the reins lightly and said, "Cultivate here for a while."

Sang Yuanyuan listened to the 'ding ding' sounds from above and nodded lightly.

You Wuming sat down cross-legged, and Sang Yuanyuan immediately felt all the hair on her body stand on end.

She saw green and white lightning with the color of flames appear on her skin, and this lightning radiated into the air. She moved slightly, and heard static crackling sounds coming from her clothes.

In the process of You Wuming refining the lightning, large amounts of Mu Lingyun evaporated and dissipated.

Sang Yuanyuan made a prompt decision. She focused her mind and absorbed this extremely pure and rich Mu Lingyun into her body.

This Mu Lingyun was tainted with the power of fire and lightning. When it entered her body, she felt hot and numb.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" It's been a long time since I've had Mala Tang!

Her cultivation level shot up. By the time You Wuming stopped cultivating, Sang Yuanyuan's cultivation level had advanced by another level, reaching the seventh layer of the Spiritual Realm.

Her rapid advancement was completely due to You Wuming's light. When the Everlasting Fire and the power of lightning were refined into her body, it would definitely squeeze the living space of the original Mu Lingyun, and the redundant Mu Lingyun would be forced out of her body. For Sang Yuanyuan, who had a low cultivation level, absorbing these scattered Mu Lingyun was almost equivalent to being enlightened.

The green light string in her mind increased by another one.

A strange compression feeling made her heart skip a beat.

She instinctively mobilized the newly added spirit string, causing the other six light strings to tremble together.

In an instant, she clearly felt that the man-eating flowers connected to the six spirit strings began to close their buds, compressing and refining them.

This is …

Refining the spirit vein fragments that she had just dug up into Solid Jade Crystals!

Sang Yuanyuan only felt a wave of dizziness.

So it turned out that human nature was a money-grubber?

All kinds of new skills, unexpectedly went down the road of making money, never to return …

She composed herself and carefully sensed.

The refining process was extremely slow. It would take at least half a year to completely refine all the spirit fragments in these fifty buds.

Calculating it this way, it was no different from giving it to a mine to refine.

"It's a pity, I can't make it in time for the wedding …" She muttered to herself.

"What?" You Wuming said in a low voice.

Hearing his voice, Sang Yuanyuan was suddenly startled, quickly raising her head to look at him.

His voice, compared to the past, was a little different. The originally clear and lazy voice became deeper and more magnetic, causing the tip of her heart to tremble.

She stared at him blankly, "Your voice …"

You Wuming cleared his throat, "Oh, just now I was electrocuted by the power of lightning.

Why can't we make it in time for the wedding? "

It returned to its original state.

"Ah, it's like this," Sang Yuanyuan's face was full of regret, "My man-eating flowers are refining those spirit veins, and need half a year to refine them into Solid Jade Crystals.

It's a pity that we can't make it in time for the wedding, otherwise our wedding wouldn't be so shabby … "

You Wuming covered her mouth, his extremely handsome face covered with black lines.

"Little Sang Guo, follow me, and I won't make you shabby."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" She made a sound with a strong desire to live.

Looking at her pair of moist eyes, his eyebrows unconsciously softened. Unknowingly, the hand covering her mouth was pushed to the side by her. She stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and put her face close to his.

You Wuming's body gradually stiffened.

Her lips lightly touched his.

"You Wuming, there's no day or night here. What I want to tell you is that my love for you has never decreased."

His body trembled heavily.

Immediately after, his arms tightened around her.

He lowered his head and kissed her, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.

Having just been soaked in lightning, his lips, teeth, and tongue were still a little numb.

It was just nice to borrow her warmth and softness to make him warm and lively again.

"Sang Guo," between tossing and turning, he said in a low voice, "in this lifetime, don't even think about leaving me."

"I won't leave you," the tip of her nose touched the tip of his nose, she panted, and said softly, "I'm sticking to you."

Hearing this, You Wuming's delicate lips curled into a smile, his voice clear and lazy, with a deep smile, "Okay."

Just like when they first met.

The two of them hugged each other for a while.

She carefully gathered his scent to the tip of her heart, carefully treasuring it.

This man, the more she looked at him, the more she smelled him.

His gaze swept around purposefully.

In the end, he helplessly gave up.

He let go of her, and paced towards the wall.

"Sang Guo, stand aside." He looked at Short-lived and Doll, and mercilessly ordered, "You two, protect her."

Short-lived: "… …" I'm the fragile baby.

Doll: "… …" I can protect the two of them!

The three little ones found a corner and hid there. They leaned against the stone wall in unison and poked out their heads that had shrunk in order.

You Wuming leisurely pulled out his sword, and with a shake of his hand, the sword's edge was instantly ignited with a greenish-white lightning flame!

"He did it!" Although she had already guessed the result, Sang Yuanyuan was still so happy that she jumped up.

She looked up, then down, and saw the dog's face and Doll's face were extremely excited.

Looking at You Wuming, he looked even more indifferent, as if he didn't notice the burning gazes on him. He stretched his shoulders, then casually swung his sword diagonally —

A greenish-white lightning flame sank into the stone wall, and after a short while, a heart-trembling buzzing sound was heard, and the walls began to shake.

Sang Yuanyuan grabbed Short-lived's fur.

She tilted her head and saw Ou Zi hanging on Short-lived's body.

Short-lived lowered its pair of black eyes, looking at the two impatient fellows with disdain, and then quickly hid its big head behind the stone wall.

You Wuming raised his sword again.

Very casually, he slashed the stone wall twice again.

With the previous experience, the three little ones behind the corner didn't cower, but instead poked their bodies out even more to see what this big moth was up to.

You Wuming casually put away his sword, stretched out five fingers, and pressed on the stone wall that he had just slashed, and casually pressed a palm print —

Nothing happened.

The man, Doll, and Dog looked at each other.

You Wuming raised his hand and waved.

Sang Yuanyuan took the lead to move in front of him, and curiously looked at the stone wall in front of her, which seemed as if nothing had happened. She was about to pretend that nothing had happened, when suddenly, countless thin cracks appeared on the stone wall, flickering with greenish-white lightning.

In the next moment, a dense explosion sounded, and the hard stone collapsed into powder, only to see a passage emitting a faint light, like a miracle, appear in front of them.

That faint light was the last remnant of the stone wall after it had been smashed to pieces by the power of lightning.

"Let's go." You Wuming's tone was light as clouds and wind.

It was as if this was just a small matter, like picking a flower by the roadside.

His unconsciously raised eyebrows and the corners of his mouth were already written with three words — Hurry up and praise me.

Sang Yuanyuan stared at this handsome man who didn't look like a mortal, and her eyes unconsciously became warm.

She really hoped that he could always be like today, and maintain the arrogance and pride of a young man, and not let the wind and frost engrave his cold and stern face.

"You Wuming, you must be the most powerful person in the world!"

He very disdainfully raised his eyebrows, "I always have been."

"Yes, yes, yes!" She took his hand.

Two people, a doll, and a dog stepped into the newly opened passage.

The passage slanted upwards, and it was quiet in front of them.

Sang Yuanyuan suddenly thought of something that didn't seem right.

"To build an underground city of this scale, it must have required an enormous amount of labor. After so many years, why hasn't the slightest bit of news spread to the outside world?"

It was really frightening to think about.

You Wuming smiled faintly, grabbed her hand, and strode out of the passage.

In front of them, it suddenly became clear.

Under the whole dazzling scene, countless pairs of frightened eyes stared straight at Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming, but no one ran away, and the scene was dead silent.
