At dawn, the two left Kuliupo.

Instead of returning to Heishi Town, we headed northwest along the ancient river channel at the western foot of Heifeng Ridge.

Su Yu explained the plan on the way - the Tianji Pavilion news storm will reach its peak when the cave opens in three days.

After all the forces in the cave found out that the treasure was fake, all the spearheads of the investigation would point to the last person who came out of the secret realm - that is, him.

Within three days, all seven spiritual seeds and seed-keeping beasts in the abandoned mine must be moved to safer places.

Su Baishi's jade slips mentioned that there is an abandoned teleportation array deep in the Black Wind Ridge. It was an emergency passage built during the heyday of the Shi clan, leading to the snowfields of the northern region.

If the teleportation array can still be used, the transfer can be completed within three days.

After hearing this, Lin Shuang only said one sentence: "Let's go."

The two of them walked along the ancient river for a whole day and returned to the abandoned spiritual mine in the early morning of the next day.

The bloodthirsty vine at the entrance to the spirit mine has grown new dark red buds, and the seven seeds planted on the rock wall deep in the mine have all sprouted.

The buds of Chiyangguo are fiery red, and the two cotyledons have just emerged from the ground.

The buds of Bixinlan are emerald green and as thin as hair, and the air is filled with a very light orchid fragrance.

The buds of Snow Jade Ginseng are as pure as snow, with a drop of crystal dew condensed on the bud tip.

The buds of the ink marrow flower are as black as ink, and the cotyledons are covered with a layer of very fine silver hairs.

Among the other three nameless seeds, one has a pale golden bud, which is exactly the same as the nebula mark on Su Yu's palm.

The other two are still silent - they are waiting for a more intense infusion of time marks.

The Seed Keeper squatted at the entrance of the cave. Most of the scars on its bronze body had automatically repaired, but the light from the core of the spirit stone was still weak.

Su Yu took out all the spirit stones on his body and stuffed the purest few into the spirit stone slots at the seams of the Seed Keeper's breastplate.

The bronze mechanism beast let out a low and contented hum, and the crystals in its eye sockets rekindled the light of battle.

No time to rest.

Su Yu carefully dug out the seven spiritual seeds together with the surrounding spiritual soil, sealed them in jade boxes and put them into storage bags.

Lin Shuang packed up all the materials and weapons left in the mine, including the few trophies buried underground - the copper hammer, the nine-section whip, the judge's pen and the defensive jade pendant.

Although these magic weapons are not sophisticated, each one can be sold for dozens of spiritual stones on the black market, which is a windfall for the two people who are now very poor.

In the early morning of the third day, before dawn, the two left the abandoned spiritual mine.

Su Yu found the abandoned teleportation array according to the map on Su Baishi's jade slip - about thirty miles north of the abandoned mine, hidden in a stone forest.

The teleportation array is surrounded by five stone pillars. The surface of the stone pillars is covered with ancient seal scripts, which have the same origin as the seal scripts seen in the martial arts field and the sword tomb.

There is a sunken palm print on the stone platform at the core of the formation, and its shape exactly matches the seal character "Shi" on the back of Su Yu's hand.

“This teleportation array is one-way, leading to the snowfields of the Northern Territory.

The formation can only be used once after activation and will be automatically destroyed after use."

Su Yu pressed the seal character "Shi" on the back of his hand onto his palm print, and the seal character on the stone pillar began to slowly light up with a dark golden light, "It takes one stick of incense to activate the formation.

The activation period cannot be interrupted, otherwise the spiritual circuit will be completely burned out."

Lin Shuang pulled out the Tingshuang Sword, turned to face the outside of the stone forest, and stood at the only entrance to the teleportation array.

"You activate the formation, and I'll guard the entrance."
