Chapter 683 Immortal Crystal Stone
The old man immediately swore an oath with his soul that if the two rescued him, he would repay them handsomely; but if he did anything to harm them, he would be struck by lightning and his soul would be scattered.
As he finished speaking, an invisible force descended and quickly entered the old man's body.
This is the power of the Heavenly Dao, and also the power of oaths, which is why cultivators dare not easily make oaths.
Having received his vow, Zhong Ran stepped forward again and continued to cut the other three iron chains in the same way.
It's impossible to cut it in one go; each one requires at least three attempts to sever.
Moreover, there can be no pauses in between; it requires continuous, extremely fast speeds.
Therefore, she needed to rest for a while after each cut before she could continue.
After she cut all four iron chains, the old man's somewhat manic laughter echoed through the cave, sounding rather frightening.
"Shut up," Mu Jinning snapped, finding the old man's voice utterly unpleasant.
The old man didn't care about his attitude. He had been trapped for too long, and he was naturally happy to be free now.
"Go away, there's a pool of water ahead, go wash yourself clean first."
Mu Jinning disdainfully tossed him a set of clothes, which were naturally not his own, but rather something he had found in a random spatial ring.
The old man tried to move, but he had no immortal power, had not moved for too long, and was also poisoned by the Taiyin Xuan Iron, so he couldn't move his hands and feet at all.
"I can't move."
Mu Jinning was still somewhat disgusted, but she sent out two strands of life force to help him recover and move his limbs.
His hands and feet were just skin and bones, with no flesh left.
After Mu Jinning's life force helped clear his blockages, his hands and feet showed obvious changes; at least the skin was no longer tightly stuck to the bones, and there was a breath of life in them.
"Thank you! The thing is right down there. You can dig it out and take it with you. It's all yours."
Anyway, he can't use those things now.
"Could you two please take me out again? It would be even better if you could help me settle down."
Although he has escaped, it will not be easy for him to leave this place in his current state, let alone settle down and recuperate.
He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Mu Jinning said, "Go wash yourself first. Can you remove the stitches from your mouth yourself?"
That wasn't an ordinary thread either; moreover, after so many years, it had long since become one with his skin.
The old man struggled to his feet and moved his arms and legs; he could indeed walk.
He tucked his messy hair behind him and said to Zhong Ran, "Little girl, lend me your short sword."
Zhong Ran glanced at him and gave him an ordinary longsword.
The old man didn't pay any attention and picked up the long hair that was spread out on the ground like tangled weeds, cutting it off.
I suddenly felt much more relaxed.
He used his longsword to support himself on the ground, slowly walked over, picked up the clothes Mu Jinning had given him, and slowly walked outside.
After he left, Mu Jinning went over, cleared away the mess, and started digging into the treasure box.
Zhong Ran, however, went and cut off the four chains of Taiyin Xuan Iron and took them with her.
Things like Taiyin Xuan Tie are not easy to obtain.
She'll keep it for now, and if she ever meets a good weapon refiner, she can use it to refine weapons, or she can sell it for a fortune.
Then, she looked at the box that Mu Jinning had dug out, and her eyes lit up.
The box doesn't look very big, about the size of a woman's vanity case.
But there's more to it than meets the eye; the contents are somewhat mixed, but each item is a divine artifact.
Among them, the most valuable items are the fairy crystals.
Immortal Crystals are similar to Spirit Stones, but they contain Immortal Essence.
Immortal essence is a power that only immortals can possess. Some powerful beings who have undergone tribulation can also transform their spiritual energy into immortal essence, but such beings are extremely rare.
"Ranran, these immortal crystals should be able to help you break through two realms."
Mu Jinning was also very happy: "Moreover, being tainted by immortal essence now will be of great benefit to you in the future."
Zhong Ran gently shook her head: "Immortal Crystals are too rare. Let's not use them for now and save them for later."
Advancing by two minor realms wouldn't have a significant impact on her, so it's better to save it for later and use it at the most opportune time to maximize its effect.
Mu Jinning handed everything over to her, and she knew better than anyone how to maximize its usefulness.
"There shouldn't be anything left in here, let's go."
Zhong Ran was quite satisfied with her visit this time.
Mu Jinning first sensed the outside. The old man had changed his clothes and was slowly observing the condition of the cave walls.
The two went outside and saw that he seemed to be able to walk again.
The life force that Mu Jinning just gave was extremely beneficial to the old man.
Otherwise, given his previous condition, he wouldn't be able to recover to his current state without three to five years of recuperation.
Seeing them come out, the old man asked in a gruff voice, "Can we go now?"
Zhong Ran asked curiously, "Senior, can't you remove the stitches from your mouth and eyes?"
"It was refined from a unique plant from the underworld, reaching the level of a celestial artifact. My current broken body cannot do that."
But once he recovers some of his immortal essence, he will definitely be able to.
However, according to them, this world has already fallen to a lower level, and it seems that it will be a long time before it can recover.
Regardless, let's get out of here first.
Once outside the cave entrance, they quickly spotted Lin Ziyue and her companion.
The two followed their lingering scents here, but dared not go inside, remaining outside to heal their wounds.
They were also afraid that Zhong Ran and the others wouldn't come out by nightfall, and then the two of them would be in trouble again.
Fortunately, flames suddenly shot out earlier, and the temperature was extremely high, burning the plants on that half of the cliff to ashes.
Knowing it must be Zhong Ran's doing, they didn't panic and waited there.
Now I see them coming out, and there's an old man with them?
How could there be such an old man? He looks a bit scary.
Zhong Ran knew beforehand that the two of them had come along, but she simply couldn't be bothered with them.
Using the power of the wind, she and Mu Jinning carried the old man to the other side before following him.
"Senior Sister Zhong, so you really are here?"
Lin Xiaoyue was very excited to see them come out and went to greet them.
When she saw the old man who had been brought out first, she instinctively took several steps back in fright.
To say he's human is an understatement; he's more like a skeleton.
However, he is not quite the same as the skeleton. At least he still has skin attached to his bones, and his facial features are still intact.
It's just that his eyes and mouth were sewn up.
But these are things that cultivators don't need to worry about.
After all, cultivators possess divine sense and can see without using their eyes.
They can also transmit their voice through spiritual energy without using their mouths, and those who have already abstained from grains don't even need to eat.
Even so, being sewn up like that is a great insult.
