Chapter 116: Unknown

  Inside the palace, only four people truly died, while others were severely injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

  In order to prevent them from making a last-ditch struggle, Su Ci would use the immortal prison vine to tie one up first, knock him unconscious, then tie another one up and knock him unconscious...

  Doing so can prevent some people from pretending to be dead, waiting for themselves to walk in and then launch a surprise attack... In this kind of thing, Su Che has always been very careful.

  "Brother Dao, don't kill me." A clear-headed Lingyao Mountain disciple, bound by vines, thought that Su Che was going to monopolize the Haotian Divine Sword and planned to kill everyone.

  "Don't worry, I won't kill you." Su Che said with a transmission technique and then knocked him unconscious again.

  In the end, Su Che put all eleven unconscious and four dead bodies together, took a few steps back, opened his mouth, and spat out a stream of orange-red flames at them.

  After the fierce flames, a strange black smoke followed, and when everything had dissipated, the hall was clear again. Looking at the fifteen 'corpses' on the ground, they had disappeared without a trace, completely burned into a pile of white ash.

  But in fact, this pile of white ash was just the bone ash of those four corpses. The other eleven living people were all caught by Su Che and thrown into the Xian prison.

  Although the Holy Land Guardian's power required him to kill them all, for Su Che, killing in battle was one thing, but at this moment, if he were to slaughter some people who had no ability to resist like a butcher, there would still be some psychological obstacles. Or, biting his teeth and killing one or two might be okay, but taking the lives of eleven heavily injured people all at once required an extraordinary amount of ruthlessness.

  So Su Che used a dazzling technique, seemingly burning everyone to ashes, but in reality, the eleven who didn't die were all captured and thrown into the heavenly prison.

  Since they've entered the immortal prison, they can't be allowed to die in vain. So, Old Black rewarded each of them with a small strand of life force. With this life force holding on to their lives, plus taking the healing medicine in time, they definitely won't die.

  Then again, everyone's qiankun bag, Su Che also collected a considerable amount, which is also a quite impressive wealth.

  To know, every treasure hunter is a cultivator of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Although it's said that when entering the Small Mysterious Immortal Realm, one can't bring all their belongings with them, each sect has given their treasure hunters at least two low-grade spiritual artifacts to enhance their survival abilities, and various elixirs and talismans are not spared either. So, the things in a single Qiankun pouch are worth more than 5,000 spirit stones.

  At this moment, there was only Su Che left in the hall, and he didn't know if his performance could satisfy that 'Sacred Land Guardian Power'.

  Just as I was thinking about it, the wall behind the stone platform suddenly opened to both sides with a "za za" sound, revealing a dark entrance...

  Lao Hei immediately shouted: "I said, my detection ability cannot penetrate this wall, and I thought it was the totem on the wall that had some kind of power, isolating my detection. It turns out there's another mystery inside."

  "There's no doubt it wants me in."

  Su Che took out a luminous crystal and slowly walked into the black hole.

  Then went down a dozen or so steps, and passed through a corridor, and saw a spacious underground hall.

  The Witches are even in the case of no transformation, all are one zhang tall physique, so their buildings seem particularly high and spacious to humans.

  Rustle...

  Su Che threw out six illuminating crystals in different directions, and only then did the entire underground hall light up. But in an instant, his eyes were dazzled by a certain scene.

  The walls were inlaid with countless gems and crystals, which at this moment absorbed the light of the illuminating crystal, each bursting forth with a dazzling, unparalleled radiance that illuminated the entire hall with specks of light, becoming brighter and brighter.

  For ordinary gems, a cultivator would definitely disdain them, but at this moment, Lao Hei began to shout: "Master, look quickly, that one seems to be a Fire Spark Stone, that one is an Azure Spirit Jade, and that one seems to be a high-quality Spirit Stone..."

  "Oh?"

  Su Che's heart skipped a beat as he hastily asked: "Are you saying that these gems are not ordinary objects?"

  "No, most of them are ordinary gems, and there are also many precious high-grade spirit stones. Now in the cultivation world, they are extremely rare." Old Black shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up, Master! Those things are valuable, quickly dig them out..."

  "Don't worry, don't worry, it's been hundreds of millions of years and no one has taken it away. Rest assured, no one is competing with you for it this time either."

  Su Che's gaze shifted, and he wasn't distracted by the valuable high-grade spirit stones. Instead, he saw a circular pool on the floor in the center of the hall, which was recessed into the ground. Inside, a deep gray liquid churned, emitting a high temperature, like boiling thick soup, 'gurgling' and 'bubbling' with scalding air bubbles.

  "If I'm not mistaken, it led me here, and I came for this pool."

  Su Che thought to himself, it was likely that the dark grey stuff in this pool was beneficial for young Witches. 'It' had considered itself a juvenile Witch after passing that murderous test and then guided him here to take a bath, as a reward...

  "But these things are beneficial for witches, and for humans, they might be fatal."

  Su Che secretly tensed up and thought to himself: "Lao Hei, don't bother with those stones for now, take a look at this pool first, do I dare to get in and soak for a bit?"

  Lao Hei quietly observed for a while and then said in a low voice: "It should be fine, you have the protection of Black Stone Clear Flow, these things shouldn't be able to harm you."

  "Alright, let's give it a try."

  Su Che walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and with his left hand's ring finger, carefully dipped it in...

  His right hand was holding a sharp dagger, and if something unexpected happened, he would have to cut off his little finger without hesitation...

  The fingers touched, and after a moment of silence, Old Black said that with the protection of the black stone clear stream, only this temperature could be felt, which did not cause any harm to the skin. It seemed that it was indeed possible to go down and soak for a while.

  Su Che thought to himself, "I'll do whatever it takes to pass 'its' tests and make it believe I'm a juvenile witch without a doubt. Who knows, maybe the entire Little Miao Xian Realm will become my own private garden..."

  With such a 'fantasy', Su Che slowly soaked into the pool.

  Having the protection of Hei Shi Qing Liu, it is unclear whether it has caused any harm to Su Che or not. Similarly, it also did not bring any benefits to Su Che.

  Su Che couldn't help but wonder: "Will these also have benefits for humans?"

  Since you're curious, give it a try then.

  Of course, Su Che didn't dare try it himself, so he secretly collected some and entered the Xian prison, letting Lao Hei find a random prisoner to experiment on.

  Lao Hei picked a Xuanxiao Sect disciple he thought was extremely evil, and dripped a drop of dark grey unknown substance onto his body. Immediately, the heavily injured man's entire body began to tremble, and his eyes rolled back...

  "Huh? Why does it seem like the prelude to transforming into a black giant in Shilin?"

  Su Che was just feeling strange when he saw that the body of the Xuanxiu Zong disciple had already begun to swell.

  In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant five zhang tall, even more majestic and powerful than the black giants in the Stone Forest.

  Moreover, he still maintained the appearance of a normal person and was not a monster with black sarcoma. He did not have any adverse conditions such as 'hunger, hunger, hunger'. Even his previous injuries had no impact on him, and he stood up with a loud bang.

  Huff... huff...

  The giant panted heavily, his fierce gaze scanning the surroundings.

  He let out a loud roar and charged over, throwing a thunderous punch from top to bottom towards Lao Hei's head.

  In front of this giant, Lao Hei was as small as a baby, but with just a light wave of his hand and a single word "Scram", he sent the giant flying out.

  As the ruler of Xianyu, Laohei's power can be amplified a hundredfold, while the prisoner's power will be suppressed a hundredfold. One positive and one negative, which also constitutes an infinite gap.

  "Can turn humans into giants? Just don't know if there are any aftereffects, let's observe and see..."

  Su Che, who was soaking in the pool, secretly took some dark gray ** from the Xian prison again, until the ** in the pool could feel a significant decrease, only then did he stop his thieving behavior.

  After soaking for a long time, he still didn't receive 'its' spiritual message. Su Che was really soaked enough and came out of the pool, holding that dagger, and under Lao Hei's guidance, began to excavate those valuable high-grade spirit stones on the wall.

  Laohei mentioned Huoyao Stone, Blue Lingyu, Jinmusan, Tianhuangxing and so on. Su Che didn't quite understand these names, but he knew that a single high-quality spirit stone was worth as much as 10,000 low-quality spirit stones.

  But in the eyes of the ancient witch tribe, these spirit stones were just like ordinary gemstones, only more visually appealing rocks that didn't have any special use, so they ended up being plastered onto the wall as decorations.

  When Su Che picked up the first Ling Stone, he still had a bit of a tentative and cautious attitude. However, after picking up five in a row without receiving any warning from "it", it seemed that "it" was quite indulgent towards Su Che, this little witch.

  Perhaps in its eyes, Su Che's behavior was just a child seeing a pretty and interesting stone, being mischievous for a moment, that's why it did this...

  In the Xian prison, the giant who was five zhang tall had long been beaten into submission by Lao Hei and had come down. It had already been two hours, but he was still intact and hadn't found any aftereffects.

  However, Su Che had a hunch that the deep gray ** could turn a human into a giant, equivalent to having ten times the explosive power. But with benefits come drawbacks, and there must be some kind of side effect in this case, it's just that time hasn't arrived yet, so it hasn't manifested itself.

  On the walls all around, nearly a hundred high-grade spirit stones were dug out. Su Che estimated that it was probably another treasure worth tens of thousands of spirit stones that he had obtained. This trip to the Xiao Mi Xian Jing, as long as he didn't die and could get out alive, would undoubtedly make him rich overnight.
