The West Is Closer to You

These people were all killed with one sword.

Judging from their injuries, the person who killed them probably only struck with one sword.

Killing four people with one sword, it must be said that this person must be a master of swordsmanship.

Ning Ruirui didn’t have time to waste here, so she walked past the corpse and went straight into the cave.

At the beginning, the walls were extremely narrow.

Ning Ruirui squeezed in with great difficulty. After about half a minute, the passage became wider and wider, and the light became brighter and brighter.

"ah!"

Suddenly, she stepped on empty air and fell straight down.

However, it soon hit bottom.

Ning Ruirui looked around and found that it was an extremely bright cave. The most important thing was that there were several rows of fluorescent lights on the ceiling of the cave, making the cave as bright as day.

The light she saw in the narrow hole just now should have come from here.

Ning Ruirui walked around the cave for a while and found several dead guards lying in front of a door.

These people were also killed by a single sword in the throat, and it looked like they had just died not long ago.

"Could it be Xia Tian who killed him?"

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but feel a little skeptical, but she quickly turned her head away and denied it: "It wouldn't be so difficult for Xia Tian to kill people, and he doesn't even need a sword."

In summer, there is basically no need for any weapons to kill people. A punch or a kick can do the job, and at most a silver needle may be used.

I have no interest in swords or guns, unless the other party uses them, Xia Tian will make them suffer the consequences.

"Forget it. I'm not here to investigate the case, and I didn't kill them. I don't care how they died."

Ning Ruirui walked past the corpses and walked into the slightly open door.

Behind the door, there is a deep corridor.

The left and right sides are very smooth and clean, like two mirrors.

Ning Ruirui looked to the left and saw a figure reflected in the mirror. His figure was similar to hers, and even his face was similar, but she could tell at a glance that it was a man.

"If I were born a boy, I would probably look like this."

Although Ning Ruirui was a little surprised, she was not frightened. Instead, she found it interesting. She even jumped a few times and turned around twice to see if the man in the mirror was the same as her.

After playing for a while, I felt a little tired, so I moved closer to the right wall.

There was nothing unusual in the mirror on the right; the figure and appearance were exactly the same as hers.

After she took two steps, something finally felt different.

The person in the mirror is walking backwards.

"What's the principle behind this?"

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but feel a little strange, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, she had seen even more bizarre and unpredictable things in the Guixu Secret Realm. "Forget it, this is not the time to play."

Summer is still waiting for her.

Or rather, she wanted to see what happened to Xia Tian.

Thinking of this, Ning Ruirui quickly walked through the corridor.

But after she left, two figures slowly emerged from the wall mirrors on both sides.

The two figures looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

Then they made an exchange and immersed themselves in each other's wall mirror.

Two big men dragged a huge ice ball, walked quickly to a quiet room, and knelt down directly.

"The disciples of the Pagoda Guard pay their respects to the Grandmaster."

In the quiet room, there was a young man wearing a jade crown and a yellow robe. He was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed. Hearing the sound, he slightly opened his eyes.

The yellow-robed young man asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

📱 *Mobile-optimized reading!* No lag → **wtr-lab.com**​​

"The headmaster sent a magical medicine primer through the Sumeru Pagoda."

A large man with short eyebrows replied, "We were ordered to deliver it here for the ancestor to use."

"The elixir of immortality?" The yellow-robed young man could not help but become interested when he heard this. He muttered to himself, "Could there really be someone with a supreme Taoist body in this place abandoned by immortals?"

The short-browed man outside the door added in a loud voice: "The headmaster said that this person has a special physique, and is very similar to the type of person mentioned by the ancestor."

When the young man in yellow robe heard this, he immediately pushed the door open to check, but stopped just as he reached the door.

He thought about it for two or three seconds and made a decision: "You guys take the medicine to the alchemy room. I'll take a shower and change clothes and will be there later."

"yes!"

The two big men immediately took charge, then stood up, dragging the huge ice ball to the alchemy room next door.

This underground alchemy room is very large, almost the size of ten football fields.

It was filled with alchemy cauldrons of all sizes, as well as pits emitting white smoke.

"Where is this thing?"

One of the big men was obviously a little tired and couldn't help asking.

"Since it is the inducer of the elixir, it must be placed in the largest alchemy cauldron." Another big man replied.

So the two of them dragged the ice ball to the alchemy cauldron in the center.

This alchemy furnace looks as tall as three or four stories high, and there is a freight elevator next to it.

The two of them worked together to move the ice ball onto the ladder, then activated the switch and rose to the top of the alchemy furnace.

The lid of the alchemy cauldron automatically moved to the sides, revealing the cauldron in the center.

"Push it down."

"Um."

The two big men took a deep breath and pushed hard towards the ice ball.

As a result, the ice ball flew up directly, hit the side hole of the alchemy cauldron, fell down, and immediately cracked.

“What’s going on!” The big man with short eyebrows looked unhappy. “You bastard, why did you suddenly use so much strength? The black ice ball was broken into pieces. I’m afraid the master will peel off your skin!”

"Bullshit!" The other beardless man cursed back, "I was clearly holding back, it must be you who used too much force, and you actually blamed me."

The big man with short eyebrows couldn't help but curse back: "I think you just want to finish the job quickly so that you can be lazy."

"We're already here, why are we being lazy?" The beardless man said unhappily, "Are we not fanning the flames while the Grand Master is refining the elixir?"

The short-browed man thought so too, and then thought of another possibility: "Hey, do you feel that the black ice ball seems to have become lighter?"

"Yes, a little bit." The beardless man nodded, "But why?"

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this." The big man with short eyebrows hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The master will be bathing and changing clothes soon, let's put the things in the cauldron first."

The two men moved the broken ice ball back to the ladder and put it into the tripod.

As soon as the ice ball fell into the tripod, it was immediately tightened by a circle of copper rings.

"Have you put away the medicine?"

Not long after, a young man in a yellow robe walked in slowly and asked softly, "Come down when you're ready. Open the spirit veins, gather the materials for the elixir, light the fire, and I'm going to start refining the elixir."

"yes!"

The two big men didn't dare to talk about what happened just now. They went down the stairs directly and got busy beside the alchemy furnace.

Soon, the white smoke in the hole in the alchemy room became thicker and thicker, forming streams of white air, which then flowed into the alchemy cauldron.

The fire under the tripod slowly started to burn.

The young man in yellow robe sat on the throne in the Xun position, pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, ignited a trace of fire in his spirit platform, and flicked his finger towards the center of the alchemy cauldron.

"call out!"

The entire alchemy cauldron lit up instantly. Through the round mirror in front of the cauldron, one could see what was inside the cauldron. There were several people, both men and women.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The person inside was actually still alive, constantly hitting the round mirror in the tripod and shouting something.

But the sound couldn't be conveyed at all.

"Um?"

The young man in yellow robe had just recited a few spells when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He shouted, "What's going on? How did the fire go out? Are you two looking for death?"

"Don't seek death, they are already dead." A lazy voice sounded from the side.

The young man in yellow robe was startled when he heard the strange voice and turned to look at the person who spoke: "Who are you? Why are you in my alchemy room?"

"My name is Xia Tian, ​​the summer of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the best day in the world."

The visitor said somewhat unhappily: "As for how I got here, I have to ask you. Didn't you send me here?"

"Are you the inducer of the elixir?" The young man in yellow robe narrowed his eyes and revealed a look of surprise and doubt.

Xia Tian curled his lips: "You are the medicine."

"He looks ordinary, but he is actually very talented, and even has a hint of transcendence." The yellow-robed young man stared at Xia Tian for a long time, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became: "In this abandoned land of immortals, there really is a supreme Taoist body. Although it has not yet awakened, it is enough."

Then, he said with emotion: "You are indeed not the lead of the medicine, you should be the main ingredient of my elixir!"

"Go away." Xia Tian said unhappily, "I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you'd better answer truthfully."

The yellow-robed young man sneered: "Do you know where this place is and who I am?"

"I'm not interested in knowing these." Xia Tian yawned lazily and said unhappily, "I just want to know what's going on with the ice ball that trapped me, and why is it somewhat similar to my ice and fire aura?"

"Haha, no wonder." The yellow-robed young man laughed and pointed at Xia Tian and said, "You must have been hit by the Three Yin Cold Evil Palm. That palm technique is more effective for people with cold Yin energy in their constitution. That is determined by the law. No matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to break free."

Xia Tian said disdainfully: "It's not hard to break free at all. If I hadn't wanted to find out the source of this cold air, this palm would not have been able to trap me."

"Whatever you say." The yellow-robed young man chuckled, "Anyway, you better get into the alchemy furnace and help me refine the elixir. When I return to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance one day, I may be able to summon your soul."

Xia Tian then took a serious look at the man and said, "You are such a loser, you are definitely not from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance."

"Of course not!" The yellow-robed young man was immediately defeated when he heard this: "I was originally from the Huangli Demon Clan of the Xuansha Realm in the Xiuxian Alliance, but was defeated by that bitch Fuyao with a trick, and was forced to become her servant, and then followed her to this broken place."

Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "Are you also from the Six Demon Platform?"

“Don’t compare me to those five losers.” The yellow-robed young man cursed with disgust, “Those idiots are not worthy of being demons. I heard that they were recently defeated by a mortal. It’s really funny.”

Xia Tian chuckled and said, "Have you asked them who beat them up?"

"It's none of my business." The yellow-robed young man snorted coldly, "The Six Demon Platform is their own decision. I never said I was one of them. I just want to refine the elixir and then return to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. I don't care about anything else."

Xia Tian casually said, "You don't have to go back to the Xiuxian Alliance. The West Heaven may be closer to you. I can give you a ride for free."
