I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

Lu Xin didn't refuse and accompanied her to retrieve the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Dew, as they had originally agreed.

"Do you know the location?"

Xu Shenmeng said, "I've researched it. This sea area used to be the habitat of the Seven Illusory Demon Fish Clan. They went extinct for unknown reasons, and the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Dew is their clan's sacred object, likely located deep within the ruins."

Lu Xin thought for a moment, "Then let's search our way through."

Subsequently, the two of them set off.

The ruins here were quite large, and the other groups each chose a path, so the two of them chose one that no one had taken.

They walked and stopped along the way, harvesting many spiritual herbs.

"There's a Jade Dragon Sky Mushroom here, the main ingredient for refining Jade Dragon Pills. Judging by its age, it can assist cultivators in the Transformation God stage,"

Xu Shenmeng pointed out in a dilapidated courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin quickly put away the Three Yang Spirit Leaf Grass he had just obtained and quickly came to the Jade Dragon Sky Mushroom, carefully storing it in a jade box.

"This is truly a treasure land."

He couldn't help but sigh. In just a short while, he had harvested several fifth-order spiritual herbs. If he refined them into pills, his speed of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage would be even faster.

"You don't even look at them?"

Seeing Xu Shenmeng's calm expression, Lu Xin couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xu Shenmeng nodded, "My cultivation method is special. These ordinary spiritual herbs are useless for improving my cultivation."

Lu Xin didn't ask any further questions and continued forward.

Soon, they found another fifth-order spiritual herb, the Exquisite Blood Heart Mushroom.

After confirming there were no dangers, he carefully stored it away again.

As a result, after walking only a few steps, they found a Thousand Spirit Ginseng, a sixth-order spiritual herb that could be used to refine Thousand Spirit Pills to assist cultivators in the Void Refinement stage.

"Are there so many spiritual herbs in this place?"

Xu Shenmeng was a little surprised, and watching Lu Xin reaping a full harvest, she couldn't help but feel envious.

Although these spiritual herbs were useless for increasing her cultivation, they were priceless if taken out.

It would be easy to exchange them for the things she needed.

"What's wrong, regretting it?" Lu Xin asked, looking at her expression.

Xu Shenmeng nodded in admission, "Indeed, a little. I don't know if it's because there are many spiritual herbs here, or if you're just lucky."

"Probably both," Lu Xin thought of his [Luck] passive skill, didn't linger, and continued forward.

After half an hour.

Xu Shenmeng was numb watching Lu Xin's busy figure.

Now she was certain that there were indeed many spiritual herbs in this place, but Lu Xin's luck was also really good.

Just now, when a fork in the road appeared, they searched separately for a while. When they reunited, she had only found three low-level spiritual herbs below the fourth order.

As for the other party, judging by his expression, he was very satisfied with his harvest.

"Here, this is my harvest." Xu Shenmeng handed him the few low-level spiritual herbs she had obtained, as agreed.

"Just these?"

Lu Xin was a little surprised.

"My luck is relatively poor." Xu Shenmeng didn't want to say anything.

Lu Xin didn't ask any further questions, reached out and took them. Although the grade was low, he kept them first, as they might be useful someday.

Then they continued forward.

After walking for a while, Lu Xin was a little puzzled, "Strange, this place doesn't seem to be dangerous."

He had already scanned it with his divine sense. Although it was restricted by the restrictions, he could still see a part of the area.

Apart from the ruins and plants, there seemed to be no living creatures.

"I'm not sure either." Xu Shenmeng shook her head.

Subsequently, the two of them didn't think too much about it, just secretly remained vigilant and continued towards the depths.

… …

At the entrance of the ruins, the two demons who had spoken earlier, transformed into human form, finally waited for a group of people, led by an old man.

"Elder Qingjiao, you've finally arrived." The two demons hurriedly stepped forward.

The old man, called Qingjiao, glanced at the light curtain with a crack in it, and his face sank, "Jiuli, what's going on?"

Jiuli quickly explained the matter.

Elder Qingjiao was a little surprised upon hearing this, "There are humans here, and one of them has a rather high Body Refinement realm, interesting."

A blue light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Let's go in."

However, after taking a few steps, he reminded, "This place used to be the territory of the Seven Illusory Demon Fish Clan, there must be many illusion arrays, be careful not to be tricked."

"Yes!"

… …

On the other side, Lu Xin and the others naturally didn't know that another group of people had arrived at the ruins.

They were now searching for spiritual herbs and other supplies.

In a rather large courtyard, which was still well-preserved, there was a pool with a living creature in it, a goldfish.

Seeming to have not seen people for a long time, the goldfish flicked its tail, and with a plop, stirred up a ripple.

At this time, a man and a woman walked in. If Lu Xin were here, he would recognize that these two were the two who had quietly retreated when facing the Yin Kui Palace.

Named Shi Zhengming and Mu Xiaoying.

They were a pair of senior and junior siblings.

Shi Zhengming said, "Junior Sister Mu, look, this goldfish doesn't even seem to be a first-level sea beast, yet it's still alive."

Mu Xiaoying looked at it and said, "Senior Brother Shi, there are restrictions protecting this place, there must still be some good things, let's search quickly."

Shi Zhengming didn't refuse, "Old method, search separately, make some noise if there's a problem."

Subsequently, the two separated. Shi Zhengming pushed open a door and glanced at the furnishings inside, which were all ordinary porcelain.

He glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention, but looked at a wall of books behind the screen, with some jade slips placed on it.

"Hopefully, they are some secret techniques."

He muttered, walked forward, and was about to pick up a jade slip to check it when he suddenly heard a scream.

"Not good, it's Junior Sister Mu."

His expression changed, and he rushed out of the house, quickly arriving at the room where the scream came from. He saw Mu Xiaoying staring at a screen, shivering.

Shi Zhengming stepped forward, grabbed her shoulder, and shouted, "Junior Sister Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Xiaoying pointed at the screen, trembling, "The person on it is alive."

"Alive?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhengming looked towards the screen and saw a woman with a slender waist embroidered on it, holding a round fan, with a smile on her lips.

It was very realistic, but it wasn't alive.

"Junior Sister Mu, are you seeing things?"

Mu Xiaoying asserted, "No, she wasn't in this pose just now."

Shi Zhengming frowned slightly, pulled Mu Xiaoying, and said, "This place is strange, let's leave here first."

Subsequently, the two came to the courtyard and walked to the arched bridge over the pool. Shi Zhengming suddenly said:

"Junior Sister Mu, I found many jade slips earlier, but I didn't have time to check them. Wait for me here for a while, I'll go get them and then we'll leave."

Mu Xiaoying's expression was still a little flustered, "Then hurry up."

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Shi Zhengming comforted her and quickly walked to the room where the jade slips were stored, but at this moment, the door on the right was suddenly pushed open:

"Huh, Senior Brother Shi, why are you coming from the arched bridge?"

Shi Zhengming was stunned when he heard this, and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Mu Xiaoying standing at the door of that room, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Senior Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Xiaoying saw that Shi Zhengming hadn't spoken for a long time, walked to his side, grabbed his arm, and asked worriedly.

Shi Zhengming quickly甩开 her, took a few steps back, "Don't touch me!"

"Senior Brother Shi."

Mu Xiaoying was even more puzzled and also very wronged.

Shi Zhengming vigilantly said, "Are you really Junior Sister Mu?"

Mu Xiaoying finally realized something was wrong and asked, "Senior Brother Shi, I really am Mu Xiaoying, what exactly happened?"

Shi Zhengming still didn't quite believe it, until Mu Xiaoying said many secrets between them, he then told her what had happened with some suspicion.

Mu Xiaoying frowned, "I didn't scream, and I didn't hear a scream either."

Shi Zhengming's expression changed drastically, "Not good, it's an illusion array, we must leave here quickly!"

Subsequently, the two quickly left, walked to the edge of the arched bridge, but found that the arched bridge was always a distance away from them.

"Go above, break the restrictions above." Shi Zhengming decisively summoned his magic weapon and bombarded the restrictions in the sky.

As a result, the restrictions were very strong, only flickered slightly, and rebounded the two magic weapons.

At the same time, a silver bell-like laughter suddenly rang in their ears:

"Hee hee… haha"

The two's expressions changed drastically.
