Chapter 62 Stone Bottle
The young man with the picture scroll hesitated for a moment and responded: "Sorry, middle-grade pills can't be used. Only high-grade foundation-building pills can."

Seeing this, Shen Qingluo immediately said: "I have a top-quality foundation-building pill, can I exchange it?"

"Excellent?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked excited when he realized what he was doing, and nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"

He has been trapped in the ninth level of Qi Refining for a long time. He has been unable to fuse and compress the cyclone in his Dantian into true essence, and has been unable to take the first step to build the foundation.

The better the quality of the foundation-building pill, the higher the success rate of foundation-building. It is said that the success rate of foundation-building after taking the best foundation-building pill can reach 90%. For young people, this is an unexpected surprise!
I saw him running up to Shen Qingluo not far away and respectfully handed over the scroll.

At the same time, the pill bottle containing the top-grade foundation-building pill was carried by a force through the air.

The young man grabbed the jade bottle and couldn't wait to open it and take a look. Suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance came out. He quickly corked the mouth of the bottle, confirmed that the elixir was correct, and thanked Shen Qingluo repeatedly.

Afterwards, the young man returned to his seat when a voice message suddenly sounded in his ear. After hearing the content, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded calmly and agreed.

The person who conveyed the message to the young man was none other than Shen Qingluo. She recalled what the young man had said before, saying that this scroll was an ancestral inheritance and was obtained by an ancestor who went to the ancient cave to repair it.

If you can know the specific location of that ancient cave, you can go there and have a look in the future, and maybe you can find something else.

It's just that there are many people at the trade fair, so you can't ask on the spot.

When Shen Qingluo sent a message, he told the young man that he wanted to inquire about the ancient cave. If he got valuable information, he would be given a certain reward. If he knew the relevant information, he would not leave after the trade fair was over.

In Huixuan Pavilion, the trade fair is still going on.

There are various items traded, including weapon refining materials, formation plates and flags, magic weapons and spiritual weapons, as well as a few spiritual plants with relatively high vintages.

Shen Qingluo was not interested in these and did not speak again after trading the scroll.

Until the forty-fifth monk stood up and took out a completely black stone bottle, about half a foot high.

"This object was obtained from a casual cultivator who set up a stall when I went downstream to Mangshan City. At that time, I was trying my luck. However, I never studied it clearly and the owner of this stone bottle cannot be identified.

If fellow Taoists like it, elixirs, spiritual stones, and talismans can all be traded. "

The moment the stone bottle was taken out, Shen Qingluo had an intuition, and there was a voice in her heart urging her to get this thing.

In order to prevent being overtaken by others, she immediately said: "One hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, I wonder if I can exchange them?"

"Of course!"

The female cultivator holding the stone bottle was delighted and hurriedly came over to complete the transaction.

She originally bought the stone bottle from a casual cultivator who set up a stall, but she spent two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. This time she took it out and did not hold much hope of successfully trading it. She did not expect that a Taoist friend was willing to buy it at a high price.

Both parties are happy with this transaction.

Shen Qingluo now has no shortage of spiritual stones. Being able to exchange them for stone bottles is no loss to her.

The Mangshan City that the female cultivator mentioned was not unfamiliar to her.

This city is under the jurisdiction of the Taoist Sect. When Shen Qingluo went to Taisheng Sect, he first went to Zhuhe City through the teleportation array in Mangshan City, and then went to Biluo City through the teleportation array in Zhuhe City. Finally, Successfully participated in the Taisheng Sect entrance examination. Thinking of Dao Yizong, Shen Qingluo's thoughts changed and he recalled the plot in the book. If everything was normal, Murong Xue should be at the eighth level of Qi Refining now, and it was still early to build the foundation.

After the stone bottle transaction ended, other monks quickly stood up and said they needed something to trade.

Shen Qingluo listened briefly and stopped paying attention.

After about two sticks of incense, the pavilion gradually became quiet. When the female monk in red saw no more monks getting up to trade, she immediately announced that the trade fair was over and would continue next year.

The cultivators gradually dispersed, and soon after, the young man in the Qi refining stage who provided the broken scroll came to a stop not far from Shen Qingluo and bowed respectfully to her.

"I do know something about what the seniors asked about, but the process is a bit complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

Shen Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "It's really not advisable to stay here for a long time. Well, there is a teahouse in the market specifically for monks to talk and discuss matters. It's better to go there."

"Yes, it all depends on the arrangements of seniors."

In the monks' meeting tea house, each table is equipped with soundproof barriers to prevent others from prying.

The two quickly arrived at the corresponding building. Shen Qingluo ordered a pot of spiritual tea. After the teahouse waiters each filled a cup of spiritual tea and left, the young man quickly said:
"I learned about the ancient cave dwellings from a notebook recorded by my ancestors. About nine hundred years ago, at the invitation of a friend, my ancestors went to a very hidden place outside Xiling City under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Mirage Sect. Exploring treasures in ancient caves.

The ancestor was at the peak of the Golden Core cultivation at that time, but due to limited qualifications, he was unable to break through to the Nascent Soul, so he agreed to the friend's invitation and planned to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, the ancient cave was very different from the ones their ancestors had visited before. The moment the two of them worked together to break through the cave's restrictions, another layer of hidden restrictions was triggered, and they were teleported to different places.

The place where the ancestors were teleported was an endless desert, and all the spiritual power was sealed. Not only could they not escape, they couldn't even open the storage ring. They were just like mortals there.

The ancestor tried various methods, but was unable to leave. At the same time, he desperately discovered that as time went by, his cultivation level began to regress!

From the golden elixir peak, it returns to the late golden elixir phase, then to the middle and early stages, and continues to fall to the foundation building peak.
In the end, the ancestor completely became a mortal, but the upper limit of his lifespan did not change, it was still 600 years in the golden elixir period.

However, after becoming mortals, they needed to drink water and eat grains. There was nothing in the desert. The ancestors suffered terribly. After a few days, they died of dehydration.

I thought everything would end like this, but the ancestor didn't expect that he could still wake up. At that time, he appeared in a strange cave, the desert disappeared, but a small broken picture scroll suddenly appeared in his hand.

The ancestor didn't know how the picture scroll came into his hands. He immediately checked his own cultivation and found that he had returned to the peak of the golden elixir.

There was nothing in the cave. The ancestors checked repeatedly for a long time, but did not find any secret passages, and did not wait for their friends. In the end, they had no choice but to leave with the small piece of broken scroll.

Later, the ancestor failed to break through the Nascent Soul and died a hundred years later. The ancestor was a casual cultivator and his only son and grandson failed to break through the Golden Elixir and passed away long ago. Therefore, before he died, he passed the scroll to his great-grandson. "

Speaking of this, the young man smiled bitterly, "The scroll has been passed down from generation to generation, but it has finally been broken when it comes to me."

Hearing this, Shen Qingluo asked: "Is the cave your ancestors left later the same one they went to in the first place?"

The young man looked hesitant and shook his head, "The ancestor's notes didn't indicate whether it was the same cave, so I can't be sure."

Shen Qingluo continued to ask: "So, did you see your ancestor's friend again later?"
