Yun Xiao Xian's spiritual treasure was a jade scepter, a middle-grade acquired treasure with sixteen Dao patterns. Lu Xin refined it and made it his own.
Then, he refined Long Hua Xian's Sun Moon Divine Blades, controlling them to absorb the Yin-Yang energy attached to the True Yang Divine Sword and the Ruyi Ring.
This prevented the two treasures from being further eroded.
"Such strange Yin-Yang energy."
After absorbing it, Lu Xin felt a pang of heartache looking at the True Yang Divine Sword and the Ruyi Ring, whose spiritual essence had greatly diminished, especially the True Yang Divine Sword, which had been eroded by the Yin-Yang energy for a longer time.
If it had been any longer, it would have been completely ruined, as Long Hua Xian had said.
"But fortunately, this treasure is now mine."
Lu Xin stored the True Yang Divine Sword in his body to nurture it, and then took out the Sun Moon Divine Blades, stroking them with glowing eyes.
Treasures are naturally better when they are weaker in the hands of enemies, but in one's own hands, one only hates that they are not strong enough.
He had previously loathed the Yin-Yang energy, but now he liked it more and more.
After studying it for a long time, he began to examine his other gains.
As for the remaining wealth, such as spirit crystals and immortal pills, he only glanced at them before focusing on the techniques and spells.
Yun Xiao Xian's technique was called "Cloud Water True Art", a Heavenly Immortal-level technique. Lu Xin also planned to integrate it into his "Chaos Sword Art" when he had time.
He didn't examine it in detail for now, and picked up the two spells he had found.
One was a stealth technique called "Wood Stone Concealment". As the name suggests, after mastering it, one could freely transform and hide in vegetation, earth, and stone.
And could use them to move stealthily.
Lu Xin was interested after only reading the introduction and began to look at it carefully, liking it more and more as he read on.
This technique differed from Earth Evasion and Wood Evasion in that the caster could become part of the vegetation, earth, and stone, allowing them to hide and move silently.
It was a perfect match for his [Hidden Divinity] passive.
This way, ordinary people would not be able to detect him with either their eyes or their divine sense.
Of course, this silence was only relative. People with too high a realm or special abilities or treasures could still discover his踪迹.
But even so, Lu Xin's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and he planned to practice it.
The other one was more ordinary, just a method of obscuring and trapping, called "Blowing Clouds and Overturning Mist", which could gather the Qi of clouds and mist to block the enemy's sight.
At the same time, it could greatly hinder the penetration of divine sense, making people dizzy and confused, and had the effect of trapping enemies.
It couldn't be said to be not powerful, only very ordinary.
Lu Xin, with the mentality of rather having nothing than something substandard, naturally planned to learn it as well.
So, in the following time, he was not in a hurry to go to the Barbarian Ruins, but instead, he restored his mana while learning the two newly acquired spells.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the [Focus] passive, he first integrated the "Cloud Water True Art" into his own technique, and then began to learn the two spells.
Now he had learned them all and had also recovered to his peak state.
"Clouds, come!"
Stepping out of his hiding place, Lu Xin formed a hand seal with one hand, and the surrounding area immediately stirred up wind and clouds. Then, wisps of cloud and mist Qi permeated out, instantly covering an area of thousands of miles around the location where he was.
"Not bad."
He withdrew his spell. He had only tried it out a little just now. With his current strength, if he used his full power, it would be no problem to cover an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Of course, as for its use, it was not great. After all, at their realm, a single step was tens of thousands of miles.
But he could use the cloud and mist to effectively block divine sense and carry out sneak attacks inside.
Then he tried the "Wood Stone Concealment" again, and it really worked. He found that as long as there were vegetation, earth, and stone, it was like a fish in water, unimpeded.
However, the consumption of stealth was also great, far exceeding the other escape techniques he knew.
He only stealthed for a moment, and about 10% of the mana in his body was lost. If he used it during battle, it would be a bit inappropriate.
However, if it were used to get rid of pursuit, it would be very useful.
"This [Focus] passive is really ordinary in name, but its effect is invincible."
Lu Xin sighed as he recovered his mana. According to Lu Lei Yun, even if spells were simplified from the laws, it would be extremely difficult for people with low comprehension to completely understand and master them.
Furthermore, restricted by the type of technique, ordinary people often only knew a few spells.
And most of them were ordinary spells, because the more advanced the spell, the more difficult it was to comprehend, and at the same time, it was very rare.
People who knew them often cherished them like their own broom.
This led most people to start pursuing external objects, entrusting their strength to treasures. As long as they found a way to seize his treasure, their strength would inevitably be greatly damaged.
Lu Xin naturally wanted to grasp both, both improving his own strength and collecting treasures.
This way, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, he would have a way to deal with it.
What's more, he also had the [Focus] and [All Paths Converge] passives. The above restrictions were no obstacle to him.
Establishing his goal and recovering his mana, Lu Xin headed towards his destination, the Barbarian Ruins.
A day later, Lu Xin came to an extremely wide river. According to the map, this river was called the Barbarian River, and the Barbarian Ruins were at the source of the river.
Determining the upstream and downstream directions, Lu Xin went up the river.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Lu Xin was wondering if he had gone in the wrong direction, he suddenly felt an extremely chaotic and violent power.
"This is the Earthly Fiend Qi?"
Lu Xin grabbed a few strands of black and gray Qi in his hand, looked at them carefully, and then turned his gaze to the distance.
He saw that it was completely shrouded in black and gray Qi, forming its own world, and divine sense could not probe into it.
It must be his destination, the location of the Barbarian Ruins.
He didn't make a big show of it, because Heavenly Immortals often passed by here, so he restrained his aura and sneaked away carefully.
However, what he didn't know was that not long after he left his original place, two familiar figures he had seen before came one after another, namely Madam Ba Qing and the masked man, Cold Face Immortal, from the previous battle.
"The Barbarian Ruins are here. Are you sure the Barbarian Relic really exists?"
Madam Ba Qing glanced at the black and gray area in the distance and turned her head to ask.
Cold Face Immortal still hid his face behind a bronze mask, unable to see what his expression was, but from his voice, it could be judged that he must be very indifferent now.
"If the map in the hands of that Iron Profound Hall disciple is real, then it must exist."
"Then why did you come to me?" Madam Ba Qing asked again, while her eyes were fixed on the other party's exposed eyes, seemingly trying to see a clue from them.
Cold Face Immortal met her gaze without hesitation and said lightly:
"You should have heard that many Heavenly Immortals have died inside the Barbarian Ruins. Having one more person is also having one more strength."
"Besides, don't you want to obtain the relic, enhance your strength, and avenge your husband?"
Madam Ba Qing snorted coldly, "Of course I want to, but I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. As far as I know, you have been looking for White Eyebrowed Tuo who was seriously injured for a long time, presumably to take the opportunity to swallow him?"
"Heh heh."
Cold Face Immortal smiled noncommittally, "This kind of thing is very common between us, how? Are you, Madam Ba Qing, a kind person?"
He asked back, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned his head and continued:
"I won't hide it from you either. You wouldn't believe me if I said I wasn't using you, but the use is mutual. Being in a dangerous place, I can only say that it depends on each person's ability."
"That's for sure." Madam Ba Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "But it must be said first, at least before finding the relic, you can't plot against each other."
"Naturally." Cold Face agreed, and then together with her, they entered the ruins.
