Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 88 Underground Palace
The space behind this magnificent door seems to be very wide. The light from the Lingzhu lamp is swallowed by the darkness before it shines very far. The unknown darkness makes people more and more frightening.

Jiang Qiongxing swallowed silently, endured the trill and suggested: "Let's walk by touching the wall."

In this way, at least there is room to return, so as not to get lost in the darkness.

"Okay." Ji Cheyu agreed to her proposal.

The two groped along the gate behind them to the wall. The wall here was also carved with patterns and painted with the same peculiar paint as the gate. When illuminated by the light, the brilliance flowed, dazzling as if it had come to life.

It is not difficult to imagine how splendid and extravagant it would be if all the lights here were lit.

"Wait." Ji Cheyu stopped suddenly, raised the Lingzhu lamp, and groped the wall with the other hand, uncertainly, "There seems to be a groove on it."

"What is it?" Jiang Qiongxing also vaguely saw the groove.

Ji Cheyu reached out and groped for a moment, then deduced, "It looks like a place where spirit stones are placed."

Lingshi?

Jiang Qiongxing was puzzled: "But, isn't this place built by mortals?"

How can you use Lingshi?
"Try it and you'll know." Ji Cheyu took out a spirit stone from his waist, and put it into the groove on the wall without any distress.

The spirit stone suddenly erupted with strong light, and the light spread, rotated, and split from the sunken lines on the wall... as if to fill the entire wall, the light continued to extend.

The paint painted on the walls is illuminated by these flowing lights and shines brightly.

Jiang Qiongxing stared dumbfounded at the rapid lighting and extension of the wall, and the light spread along the patterns on the wall to farther places in a blink of an eye, slowly illuminating the dark underground palace.

"Okay, that's awesome..."

But in an instant, a huge underground palace was completely presented in front of their eyes, and all they needed was a mere spirit stone.

Jiang Qiongxing, who just thought it was a bit extravagant to experiment with spirit stones, didn't think so at all—one spirit stone can light up the entire hall, and the design of this place is too energy-saving and environmentally friendly!
"Unfortunately, it has already been ransacked." Ji Cheyu looked around and sighed.

The underground palace is circular, with a high platform in the middle, and four huge pillars are supported around the high platform, with intricate patterns carved on it, and the meaning cannot be seen.

There may have been some treasures on the high platform, but now it is empty and there is nothing left. There are all kinds of broken decorations, swords and other weapons scattered around, and scattered human bones everywhere. It is obvious that there has been a fierce battle here.

I don't know which master, in the melee of so many people, got the treasure on the high platform, and left gracefully.

"Are these bones cultivators?" Jiang Qiongxing casually picked up a bird-shaped sculpture beside him, and walked towards the high platform, with a brisk tone, "The predecessors ate meat, and we drank soup. We have come here. Maybe there is something that the seniors don't like. We can pick up the leaks."

It makes sense.

Ji Cheyu raised his eyebrows and followed her up.

The closer you get to the high platform, the more bones there are. Looking at these human bones in different poses, you can imagine how coveted the treasures on the high platform were.

Jiang Qiongxing casually pulled out a sword stuck in the ground, but regrettably found that it was a weapon used by mortals.

"It seems that they are all mortals." Ji Cheyu inspected the relics on the bones and said.

Did not find any magic weapon for storage.

"It seems that this place is really flashy." Jiang Qiongxing sighed.

Why does a mortal palace use spirit stones as lamps?

The light on the wall is like flowing water, beautiful like a dream, but in this extravagant underground palace, there are all things for mortals.

Ji Cheyu also picked up a long knife on the ground, looked at a groove above the handle, and deduced: "This is also a groove for holding spirit stones... Although those people are not immortal cultivators, they seem to have their own way of using spirit stones."

"But there are no spirit stones here either." Jiang Qiongxing said dejectedly.

Just when she was thinking about whether to take the sculptures here back and melt them into gold bars to make some money, Ji Cheyu suddenly found something in the thick dust on the ground. He didn't care about the white clothes on his body at all, squatted down and wiped the floating ash on the ground with his fingers: "Come and see what this is."

Jiang Qiongxing leaned over.

There was a broken piece of paper lying there.

It was mottled in color, probably stained with the blood of nearby corpses, and it was stuck to the ground and could not be peeled off.In the messy underground palace, such an inconspicuous scrap of paper is nothing worth paying attention to, but there are some symbols drawn on it that Jiang Qiongxing is quite familiar with.

Or rather, words.

"Is this similar to the words on those talismans?" Ji Cheyu asked her.

"It seems...it's quite similar..." Jiang Qiongxing stared at the small piece of paper scraps on the ground, and turned around in a circle, trying to guess its complete appearance from various angles.

"Then what's written on it?" Ji Cheyu asked again.

Jiang Qiongxing paused, and said with a guilty conscience: "...Actually, although the characters written on the talisman are indeed characters, I don't know the meaning of those characters when they are separated. Although I can draw talismans, I can only draw from gourds."

Ji Cheyu nodded, not feeling disappointed, got up and said, "This underground palace has a long history. I didn't expect that there would be something similar to the talisman we use now, and it was still used by mortals. I wonder what it was like in that era."

"Don't they still use spirit stones?" Jiang Qiongxing said without any surprise.

"Do you want to move on, or stay here for a while?" Ji Cheyu seemed to have no expectations for this place.

However, Jiang Qiongxing didn't seem to give up completely, and continued to search in the mess, muttering: "It would be great if I could find the complete talisman."

She really wanted to see the difference between the talisman at that time and the modern one.

Seeing this, Ji Cheyu continued to search with her.

After an unknown amount of time, the two searched through the entire hall of the underground palace, and found a few complete talismans.

Ji Cheyu handed what he found to Jiang Qiongxing: "There are actually quite a few talismans here, but unfortunately they are all made of paper, and most of them are damaged."

Broken talismans are no different from waste paper, they shatter when touched.

Jiang Qiongxing took the talismans carefully, as if he was dealing with some rare treasures: "It's okay, it's good to find so many."

Even after so many years, the spiritual power on it is still there. After blowing off the dust on it, the flow of spiritual power can be vaguely seen, as if it can still be used.

Jiang Qiongxing thought of something, sat on the steps of the high platform without paying attention at all, and found the "Wanquanlu" from the storage ring, opened it and searched for a while, and said pleasantly: "This is a witch talisman!"
