Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

The cold wind blew through the ruins, making a low whimpering sound, as if ancient ghosts were telling unknown secrets.

The moment Yan Yue and Nong Jin stepped into the ruins, an oppressive atmosphere hit them in the face, making them feel creepy.

The air around them was so heavy that it seemed frozen, carrying a rotten smell that stimulated their sense of smell.

The huge stone pillars stood crookedly, carved with strange patterns, looking particularly hideous in the dim light.

Broken debris and unknown skeletons are scattered on the ground, silently telling of the tragic battle that once took place here.

Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, giving each other silent comfort.

He scanned his surroundings sharply, alert to possible dangers.

"These runes..." Nong Jin pointed at the ancient symbols that spread like a spider web on the wall, and said in a low voice, "It seems to be a long-lost text that records some powerful sealing technique." While observing carefully, he told Yan Yue his speculation, trying to find clues about the materials for sealing the magic weapon from these clues.

Yan Yue listened carefully to Nong Jin's explanation, his eyes following his fingers, secretly marveling at the wisdom of these ancient civilizations.

They advanced cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of triggering any mechanism or trap.

Suddenly, Nong Jin stopped and his eyes fell on a seemingly ordinary wall in front of him.

"Here..." He reached out and touched the runes on the wall, frowning, "It seems a little unusual." Before he finished speaking, the runes on the wall suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire ruins.

After the light faded, the wall slowly cracked open, revealing a dark passage leading to the unknown.

Yan Yue and Nong Jin looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and a hint of excitement.

"It seems that we have found it." Nong Jin took a deep breath and stepped into the passage first.

Yan Yue followed closely behind, and the two walked side by side into the unknown darkness, as if walking towards the final judgment of fate...

"Wait!" Nong Jin suddenly stopped, grabbed Yan Yue, and stared ahead vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yue asked puzzledly.

Nong Jin did not answer, but slowly raised the sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing straight into the depths of the darkness.

"Come out," his voice was cold and full of authority, "I know you are here."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a translucent figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

The figure was erratic, flashing with a faint blue light, like a ghost, which was chilling.

This is Gu Ling.

"You want to obtain the materials to seal the magic weapon?" Gu Ling's voice was ethereal and ethereal, as if it came from another world. "Yes, but you must fulfill a wish of mine first."

Gu Ling stretched out her slender finger and pointed at an ancient mural on the wall.

"Unlock the secret of this mural, and I will tell you the whereabouts of the sealing materials."

The mural depicts a complex star map with various stars arranged in an interlaced manner. It seems chaotic, but it contains some mysterious rules.

Yan Yue carefully observed the star map with a frown on his face.

The complexity of this star map was far beyond her imagination, and it was almost an impossible task to decipher it in a short time.

"This..." Yan Yue hesitated, "This star map is too complicated. I'm afraid..."

"There's no time." Gu Ling interrupted Yan Yue, "The magic weapon is about to awaken, and you don't have much time left. If you can't find the sealing materials in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yan Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.

Time is running out and she must solve the mystery as soon as possible.

She closed her eyes and recalled all the knowledge she had learned in her previous life, trying to find clues to decipher the star map.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

She remembered that she had seen a similar star map in an ancient book in her previous life. The book recorded an ancient formation called "Nine Stars in a Row".

Yan Yue opened his eyes and looked at the mural again.

She began to rearrange the stars on the star map according to the rule of "Nine Stars in a Row".

As she moved, the stars on the star map began to emit dazzling light, eventually converging into a huge ball of light.

"You... actually figured it out?" Gu Ling's voice was filled with surprise. "It seems I underestimated you."

Gu Ling slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to the center of the light ball.

"The sealing material is right here..." It stopped talking abruptly, and its eyes suddenly became alert as it looked towards the entrance of the passage behind Yan Yue...

The cold wind grew stronger, causing Yan Yue's clothes to flutter like a butterfly about to spread its wings.

Nong Jin watched Yan Yue solve the puzzle, his eyes full of admiration and love.

He gently held Yan Yue's hand and said, "Yuer, you always surprise me." Yan Yue felt the warmth from Nong Jin's hand, and her heart felt warm. She responded with a confident smile.

"The sealing material is in the ice crystal lotus in the Far North Cold Pond." Gu Ling's voice returned to calm as he pointed to the flashing Cold Pond mark in the center of the star map.

After getting the clue, they discovered that the sealing material was deeper in the ruins - the Far North Cold Pond, which was frozen all year round, extremely cold, and guarded by a powerful guardian beast.

This means that they will face greater challenges next, but in order to seal the magic weapon and save the people, they have no choice.

The two continued to go deeper into the passage, and the eerie atmosphere became thicker.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, strange runes flashed from time to time, as if they were dormant beasts, ready to devour anyone at any time.

On their way to deeper depths, they were attacked by small guardian beasts.

These guardian beasts resemble giant spiders, their bodies pitch black, and their eight sharp claws flashing with cold light. Although they are not strong individually, they are numerous and are surging like a tide.

Yan Yue snorted lightly, and her white hands flew. Golden runes flew out from her fingertips, forming a huge light net that trapped some of the guardian beasts inside.

Nong Jin showed no mercy. He swung the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy was like a rainbow. With the force of crushing dry weeds and rotten wood, he directly repelled the other part of the guardian beasts.

The surrounding ruins shook from the battle, sending dust flying and rubble crumbling.

After a fierce battle, they finally arrived at the Far North Cold Pond indicated in the star map.

This is a huge ice cave, the air is freezing and filled with ice crystals.

The water in the pool is deep and emits a heart-pounding chill.

"Be careful." Nong Jin pulled Yan Yue behind him and looked around vigilantly.

The air suddenly froze, and a powerful pressure came from the depths of the cold pond, making people suffocate.

“Roar—” A deafening roar echoed throughout the ice cave, and the water in the pool surged violently...

Nong Jin protected Yan Yue behind him, the long sword in his hand humming, the sword tip pointing straight to the depths of the cold pond, and whispered, "Here it comes..."
