"If I can enter, I won't look for you!" Xuan Ming Turtle sighed, "When you reach the entrance of the inner layer, you will know that the entrance is very small, only more than meter high and four feet wide, and even the Red Flame Snake can't enter, let alone me! Otherwise, more than a hundred years ago, when the monks from the Shui family, Wang family and Lin family came here, how could we agree to help them enter the inner layer?"

"Oh? Then I think, the monks of the three major families, when they enter the inner layer, they should also do something for you!" Jiang Chen immediately realized something when he heard this.

"Yes! It's okay to tell you now!" Xuan Ming Turtle snorted, "My Golden-winged Great Phang and the Red Flame Snake are actually spiritual beasts tamed by Yiling Sanren. But thousands of years ago, a big explosion occurred in the cave, and then we felt that Yiling Sanren was dead. We originally thought we could be free, but we were frustrated to find that although others were dead, the soul contract we had signed with was still in effect, and this contract restricted us and asked us to stay here so that we could not leave the cave. This also led to the stagnation of our cultivation..."

"Whether we monsters or you humans want to ascend to the upper realm and gain immortality. Although our monsters have a lot of lifespan than you humans, they cannot survive without restrictions. Like us turtle monsters, after reaching the transformation period, they can only live for more than 10,000 years."

"Although the cultivation conditions here are good and the Yin Spirit Energy is sufficient, there is a lack of spiritual herbs needed to break through the bottleneck. Therefore, although I reached the twelfth level, a thousand years ago, I could not improve my level any further. We must go to the outside world to find relevant materials to reach the thirteenth level!" Xuan Ming Turtle said in a shocking voice at this time.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He had always thought that the Xuanming Turtle was just a tenth-level monster like the Golden-winged Roc, but he didn't expect it to be a twelve-level monster and was about to hit the thirteenth level.

You should know that the twelfth level is equivalent to the late stage of the Nascent Soul cultivator. Among human cultivators, they are probably the top ones.

"Because this contract restricts us, it prevents us from going out, and keeps our cultivation stagnant. But if we can obtain the jade slip that records the method of generating the contract, combined with our three powers, it may not be impossible to come up with a way to crack it."

Xuan Ming Turtle talked loudly at this time: "After all, when Yiling Sanren subdued me to become his spiritual pet, he was just a cultivation level in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Each contract has a way to terminate it, but the conditions and requirements are different. However, according to our inference, this contract that restricts our scope of activity should be terminated, and the conditions and requirements should not be high. We only need to think about it more. It is very likely to crack it and regain freedom."

"Yeah!" Jiang Chen nodded after hearing this. It had nothing to do with him. He was just listening to it as a story.

At this time, Xuanming Turtle Fang said, "Boy, go to the Lingshen Garden. You have to pass a place called mass grave. There are zombies, skeletons, ghosts and other objects. When the creatures enter, they will become their meal on the plate. Even the Jindan stage monks can only die."

"After passing through this mass grave, it is the Lingzhan Garden. However, it is not easy to obtain the colorful Lingzhan. It requires a certain amount of wisdom and set up traps and baits to catch it. This is something that a ghost without spiritual intelligence cannot do. So, this is why I have to find a psychic zombie! You understand now, right?" Xuan Ming Turtle said angrily.

"Well! I understand!" Jiang Chen now understood the Xuan Ming Turtle's idea. From its perspective, he naturally hoped that this psychic zombie was his own corpse servant. Only then did it feel at ease, and there was no need to worry that the psychic zombie would slip away with the colorful ginseng. If it was handed over to others, if others crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, it would be useless to get the water.

"Senior Xuanming, I can promise you. Get up with Xiaoqian and help you get colorful ginseng, but should you also give me some benefits? No one is willing to do anything for nothing!" Jiang Chen smiled.

Xuan Ming Turtle was suddenly angry, but he felt that what Jiang Chen said was indeed reasonable and that helping others should be rewarded. So it had to raise a big ** and said, "What do you want? I have nothing else except for a lot of skeletons, zombies, and ghosts who are not smart enough to open my mind, otherwise I wouldn't have any way to leave."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he thought it was a big problem. He originally wanted to blackmail this twelve-level old turtle, but judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was poorer than himself and had no good things to give him. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of something.

He then scratched the back of his head and asked calmly: "Senior Xuanming, you must have been knowledgeable when you followed Yiling Sanren. I wonder if you can tell what kind of monster it is for some monster eggs or something?"

"Haha! You're asking the right person!" Xuan Ming Turtle laughed and said, "You know, we turtle monsters are going to lay eggs. Because I was slow in the past, I stayed in the cave and helped the owner manage the spirit beast garden. Therefore, the owner also gave me many books on monsters and asked me to tame monsters for them. If you ask about monsters, I am extremely proficient!"

When Xiaoqian heard this, she snorted in her nose, thinking that the Xuanming turtle seemed to be as Jiang Chen expected, and she was completely unscrupulous. If anything happened in her heart, it was like pouring water from a bamboo tube, and it was poured out.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed after hearing this, so he took out the white monster egg from the storage bag of the ancient monk in Qingyou Valley, held it in front of Xuanming Turtle and said, "Senior Xuanming, can you help me see what kind of egg is this?"

Xuan Ming Turtle lowered his head in surprise, looked at the white monster egg, and then penetrated his spiritual sense into it. After watching for a while, his semen suddenly changed: "How could this egg be in your hands?"

"This is what I discovered from the cave of an ancient monk. What? Senior Xuanming recognized what egg this is?" Jiang Chen said in surprise and joy.

"Of course, I'm afraid there is only one such monster egg in this human world. I don't know how my master got it? After being stolen by one of his foundation-building servants, the master was furious for a long time!" Xuan Ming Turtle sighed.

"Ah! This monster egg is so big?" Jiang Chen was extremely shocked. He never expected that the corpse of the ancient monk found in Qingyou Valley was actually the servant of the Yiling Sanren. Moreover, the stolen monster egg could make Yiling Sanren, who had the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, furious. I guess he hatched it as a very powerful monster.

"Well! Don't think I'm exaggerating. Because this monster is a Mingfeng, which is only found in the underworld. It is also a very powerful monster in the underworld. Although its cultivation level is not high at birth, it is only equivalent to the level of the Golden Elixir Stage, but it grows very quickly. It can usually enter the Nascent Soul Stage in fifty years. After two hundred years, it enters the God Transformation Stage, and there are not many races in the underworld who dare to provoke the Mingfeng clan." Xuan Ming Turtle said seriously.

Jiang Chen was stunned. He never expected that this monster egg was actually a thing in the underworld. However, how could this monster egg in the underworld come to the human world?

At this time, Xiaoqian's silver pupils also changed color slightly. She asked softly: "Senior Xuanming, you know so much about this Mingfeng, and even know that they are also very powerful races in the underworld. Could it be that they are also from the underworld, right?"

After hearing this, Xuanming Turtle's expression suddenly froze. After a while, Fang Haha laughed and said, "You little girl still has a really vicious vision, you can see this! Not bad. I am from the Underworld's Ming Turtle Clan. My master saved me when I was in danger, so I was willing to follow him to the human world."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he became even more curious, so he hurriedly asked, "Senior Xuanming, where is the underworld? Are they all dead? How did Yiling Sanren go to the underworld?"

He felt that the underworld here should not be the kind of place that people only go after death. Because this Xuanming Turtle is obviously a living monster, without any breath of death.

Xuan Ming Turtle shook his head and said, "You will naturally hear these things after you reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, if I really want to tell you about the underworld and how my master came from the human world, I am afraid I can't explain them clearly for three days and three nights. Now we should finalize this colorful spiritual guinea pig earlier."

Jiang Chen nodded and now thought about things that can only be touched after the Nascent Soul stage. It was indeed too early. He said, "If Senior Xuanming can tell me how to hatch the egg of the Nether Phoenix and conquer it at the same time, Xiaoqian and I promised you to go to the inner layer to obtain this colorful spiritual ginseng for you!"

"Okay!" Xuanming Turtle was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. It laughed and said, "Fortunately you didn't ask me to hatch it for you, just telling you the method. This condition is really too simple!"

"Ah?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. It seemed that the method of hatching and taming of the dark phoenix eggs must be extremely difficult, and even the Xuanming turtle felt very difficult.

"Okay! Then now I will tell you the route to Lingsan Garden. Listen carefully..." Xuan Ming Turtle began to tell.

This lecture was about a meal. Jiang Chen was so immense that he heard it. He didn't expect that the inner layer would be so big, with so many forks and restrictions. It seems that fortunately he stayed there, otherwise he would have followed the people of the three major families in this way, and he would be extremely dangerous.

Xiaoqian also listened carefully, fearing that he would not remember it alone. Jiang Chen looked at Xiaoqian's long purple hair and her charming silver eyes. Seeing her focused look, he was secretly glad that he had found a right-hand assistant.

"Okay! I'm done! Come up quickly! I'll carry you to catch up with the people in front of you... After entering the inner layer, many places are in danger and need to act together to ensure safety. Moreover, if you want to enter the inner layer, you have to rely on the keys in their hands."

Xuanming Turtle reminded: "On the lava sea road before entering the inner layer, there is a passage of a few miles long, called a lava cave. It is filled with highly toxic aura. Only by using spiritual power to stimulate the key and form a light shield to prevent the toxic aura from immersing in. However, the scope of this light shield is limited, and it can only cover the key holder and a circle of six people around him. Therefore, this is also the reason why we reminded the Shui family, the Lin family and the Wang family that only one key can bring seven people into it."

Jiang Chen then realized that he took Xiaoqian back into the corpse bag and stepped onto the turtle's back.

Xuanming Turtle then carried him, got into the water, and swam quickly to the other side of the river.

When crossing the river, Xuan Ming Turtle was obviously worried that he would not be able to catch up with the people in front of him after he had been delayed. So he specifically advised him not to take the main road after crossing the river, but to walk from another small path.

Although the path seems to be very dangerous and has many formation restrictions, it is still safe as long as you avoid it carefully. Moreover, due to the restrictions on that path, there are few monsters and ghosts, and it is almost impossible to fight.

On the contrary, although taking the main road can avoid most dangerous restrictions, monsters, zombies, skeletons and other ghosts along the way are emerging one after another, and it may not be safe.

So, after getting ashore, Jiang Chen took the small path and walked, and the next night, he arrived at the entrance of the lava cave.

Jiang Chen then slept comfortably and slept until he woke up naturally in the morning. But just like that, he had not yet waited for Shui Youning and the others to come.

So, Jiang Chen simply sat down and meditated and practiced, and at the same time he penetrated his spiritual consciousness into a map jade slip given by Xuanming Turtle, and looked carefully to avoid going the wrong way after entering.

In this way, it was not until dusk that he saw Lin Zhenbei, Shui Tianzhun, Wang Yuanxi and others leading the monks from the three major families rushed over, looking quite tired.

When the group of people from the three major families walked to the entrance of the cave, they found that Jiang Chen was sitting on a stone sitting next to meditating and practicing as if nothing had happened. He looked leisurely and leisurely. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide and showed an incredible expression.
