287 The Star Refining Technique (1)

Among the ruins, there was only a gray stone palace that lay quietly and intact.

It was extremely unremarkable. If this team had not been resting here for the time being, they might not have even given it a second look when they passed by.

On the outer walls of the palace were many complicated ancient characters that were engraved. They looked like a scripture.

“This is an extremely ancient language that has appeared in many places in the Black Rock Ruins. There are rumors that it came from the previous era, but no one has been able to decipher it,” one of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain explained to Jiang Ming with a respectful and humble expression.

Since he had already decided to struggle for survival and had been implanted with a seed, he simply put down his attitude and wanted to make more contributions to fight for a chance of survival. As long as he could survive, he could regain all his dignity.

“A bunch of illiterates!” In the storage ring, the black sword arrogantly and fiercely shouted, “In the past, this was a language that even children could recognize.”

Jiang Ming’s heart moved slightly, and he secretly said, “As expected of you, you can even recognize such ancient characters. You’re really amazing. Then, do you know what the words on the walls of this palace say?”

“From the looks of it, it’s probably a body tempering scripture,” the black sword said slowly. It quickly finished examining the words outside the entire palace and commented, “Not bad. It’s an extraordinary scripture that can be used for cultivation. However, it should only be a basic chapter that is suitable for people who have just started to cultivate. If it was placed here, it should be used to test the disciples. According to the last part of the scripture, there should be a follow-up chapter inside the palace. But if you want to get it, you have to first understand the basic chapter on the outside. Otherwise, I can’t say what will happen.”

“Friend, please help me translate!” Jiang Ming was slightly happy.

“Of course!” the black sword said nonchalantly. He had just eaten the dagger. Thus, he was very active now.

Jiang Ming took the opportunity to observe the stone palace.

There were no windows, and only the two stone doors at the front were wide open. The inside was completely dark, and nothing could be seen. It was like a black hole. Even if spiritual energy was injected into it, it was useless.

“You’ve sent people in?” Jiang Ming looked at Mo’s face beside him and asked indifferently.

Mo’s face was filled with reluctance. However, under Jiang Ming’s gaze, he sighed and said in a low voice, “More than a dozen people were sent in before. However, none of them came out.”

“Oh? Who went?” Jiang Ming asked casually.

Mo could not help but glance at Wei Shouguang and the rest before whispering, “They were all martial artists from the natives of Xuanguang City.”

Wei Shouguang was not far away and had been listening to the two’s conversation the entire time. At this time, he could not help but reveal a look of anger when he heard this. He wanted to punch this man to death.

Jiang Ming clicked his tongue, shook his head, and sighed. “Then, you weren’t thorough enough. Why didn’t you send immortal cultivators in?”

Mo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. How could he say that they did not dare do such a thing? Those individual cultivators might seem like weaklings. However, when they gathered together, they were still a considerable force. They might be able to casually deal with the natives. However, when it came to immortal cultivators, they would not dare act recklessly.

Jiang Ming suddenly smiled and waved his hand. “How about this? I’ll make the decision today. I’ll allow an immortal cultivator from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain to go in and explore. If there really is an opportunity, then he’ll be lucky, and I won’t take a single cut from the loot. How about it?”

Mo’s expression changed slightly as he hesitated, “This is not good.”

“What’s wrong? Do you think that the Soul Seed Spell in your brains is just for fun?” Jiang Ming asked lightly.

Mo’s expression changed, and he could not say another word.

“You can choose the person! Whoever gets this great opportunity will be very grateful to you,” Jiang Ming said.

The faces of the four people from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain were pale at this moment. How was this a great opportunity? It was obviously a terrifying thing. They did not think that immortal cultivators could be much stronger than martial artists in this strange place.

Furthermore, Zhang Shan had actually allowed Mo to choose someone. It was obvious that he was trying to break their morale. No matter who Mo chose, the final result would not be good for the few of them.

And if this matter were to spread, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain.

Mo’s expression turned ugly as he looked at the other three. He could not make a choice for a long time.

“What, you guys want to go together? It’s not impossible!” Jiang Ming said with a smile.

Mo’s body trembled as his eyes were filled with distress. After a while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, “Luo Hao, I’ll leave this opportunity to you!”

“On what basis?” That young male disciple of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain jumped up suddenly. His eyes were so angry that they seemed to be spitting fire.

“Why don’t you two go? Why can’t this guy go? I’m the core genius of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, your next elder. I order you to go in.”
