Sensing this malevolent aura, Qingfeng narrowed his eyes.
This place is a bit too gloomy.
"The barrier has been lifted, let's go in quickly."
Master Mu let out a low shout and was the first to transform into a stream of light and shoot into the gap.
With a swift movement, everyone entered the cave one after another.
Upon entering the cave, they felt a sense of lightness throughout their bodies.
The oppressive feeling of the seawater and the tearing force of the whirlpool vanished instantly.
Han Li was the last to enter the cave. After regaining his footing, he immediately looked around warily.
Qingfeng glanced back at Han Li, who had once again shielded everyone in front of him.
"Brother Han, don't fall behind."
Qingfeng reminded him with a smile.
"Uh, I'll catch up right away."
Han Li quickened his pace, slightly embarrassed.
The cave before them was not the narrow passage they had imagined, but an extremely spacious underground space.
The space was filled with a dense aura of malevolent energy, more than ten times stronger than what was felt outside.
One can even sense the malevolent energy eroding the cultivator's protective aura.
"The cave dwelling of the Sha Yin Master is divided into three areas: the outer palace, the middle courtyard, and the inner palace."
Between the outer palace and the central courtyard, there is another restrictive formation that requires the combined efforts of Core Formation cultivators to break.
Mu Xuzi walked at the front and introduced himself to everyone.
The outer palace where they were currently located was much larger than an ordinary cave dwelling.
Some of them are even ridiculously large.
After passing through a passage, a stone forest came into view.
This stone forest is distributed according to the principles of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams, with each stone tree serving as a node.
The Yin energy within the cave flows continuously because of this stone forest.
"Hey! Look, there are Yin Marrow Stones! So many!"
Old Hu pointed to the base of a stone forest and said loudly.
"This place is extremely yin, and only there can rare materials be nurtured."
Last time we searched the outer waters for a long time and only got a few pieces, I didn't expect there to be so many here!
The Gu brothers said in surprise at the same time.
The two of them always acted simultaneously, which initially surprised Qingfeng, but it was actually a side effect of the cultivation techniques they practiced.
"Gentlemen, I have some use for these Yin Marrow Stones. How about you give them to me? I'm willing to exchange them for an equivalent amount of spirit stones."
Qingfeng said to Jinqing and the others.
"Uh, okay, I have no problem with mine."
Jin Qing thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"I have no objection either. This thing looks rare, but there's not much demand for it, and it's not easy to sell."
"If Fellow Daoist Qingfeng wants to buy it, I, Old Hu, will definitely want spirit stones, haha."
Old Hu scratched his head.
"I have no objection. If Brother Qing needs it, I'll give it to you."
Ling Yuling said generously.
She had everything she needed, except to explore this underwater cave.
Han Li naturally agreed, as he had no use for the stone.
His elder brother offered him spirit stones, which he was more than willing to accept.
Seeing that most people were willing to give way to Qingfeng, Mu Xuzi and the others did not deliberately cause trouble.
After all, among everyone present, Qingfeng had the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength.
In Mu Xuzi's eyes, even if he and the Gu brothers joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat Qingfeng.
It's best not to offend this powerful playboy.
Seeing that no one objected, Qingfeng stepped forward and collected all the Yin Marrow Stones at the base of the Stone Forest into his storage bag.
The Yin energy contained in these Yin marrow stones is very suitable for feeding to the weeping soul.
"Hehe, it seems there are quite a few legacies left by Master Shayin here. Even the outer prefecture has such resources."
I wonder what other treasures the central courtyard and inner palace hold!
Old Hu said excitedly.
"Yes, the fragments of the Void Heaven Map might be inside."
Mu Xuzi also became excited, and quickened his pace as he walked ahead.
"The Yin energy and the Yin-Yang energy here should originate from the same source. Xiao Xuan, what do you think?"
Qingfeng held the Yin Marrow Stone and communicated with the box in his arms using his divine sense.
After entering the cave and sensing the Yin energy, he released the Xuan Bone.
"It is indeed the same kind of Yin energy. Phew! This place is very suitable for cultivators of the Ghost Path."
Xuan Gu inhaled a breath of Yin Sha Qi.
"A cultivator of the Ghost Path? Right, this Master Sha Yin, known as the strongest rogue cultivator a thousand years ago, have you heard of him?"
Qingfeng asked.
"In the era when my reputation was at its peak, I had never heard of such a ghost cultivator."
"Whether it was a thousand years ago, one thousand years ago, or two thousand years ago... there are no detailed records."
Xuan Gu shook his head.
Hearing Xuan Gu's answer, Qing Feng nodded.
With different thoughts in mind, the group passed through the stone forest of the outer palace and arrived at the central courtyard area.
"This is where the array's restrictions are located."
Mu Xuzi held an old blueprint with the markings of the cave dwelling on it.
Between the outer palace and the central courtyard, there is a layer of black and red array restrictions. Through this restriction, one can vaguely see some scenes inside the central courtyard.
The most eye-catching feature is a pool that is about ten zhang square.
The pool of water did not seem to be an ordinary liquid, but rather a condensation of malevolent energy as thick as ink.
"Oh! There's a skeleton over there!"
Old Hu pointed to a stone platform in the middle of the pool.
On that stone platform, a skeleton could be vaguely seen lying on it.
The skeleton was entirely blackish-purple, as if it had been tempered in malevolent energy for far too long. Even through the restrictions of the central courtyard, one could feel the chilling aura emanating from it.
"Could this be... the Venerable Sha Yin who passed away here?!"
Jin Qing looked at Mu Xuzi beside him.
If it is indeed the remains of a Nascent Soul cultivator who has passed away, and it is so well preserved.
Having been soaked in the yin energy of the pool for so many years, it is undoubtedly an excellent material for crafting "bone puppets".
"Gentlemen, don't look at that skeleton yet, look over there!"
Old Hu had somehow moved to the other side.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw rows of monster skeletons in the area that Old Hu was pointing to.
These skeletons were covered with the skulls of many monsters, like boxes for storing things.
"These...these monster skulls seem to belong to level six or seven monsters."
If a box can be made from the skull of a demonic beast of this caliber, what could possibly be stored inside?!
Old Jian said, his breathing rapid.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, are the Longevity Pill, the Fragment of the Void Heaven Map, and those treasures of the Fiend Yin Master among them?"
At this moment, the Gu brothers, who had remained silent all along, revealed a glint of greed in their eyes and asked in an excited tone.
Upon hearing their words, Mu Xuzi's old face also showed an excited expression.
"Fellow Daoists! If we join forces to break this restriction, the treasures of the Central Court will be within our grasp!"
Mu Xuzi looked at Han Li and Fairy Stone Butterfly.
Breaking the restrictions is mainly the job of the two formation masters.
Although Qingfeng was also highly skilled in array formations, he was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator and needed to bear the main output of spiritual energy, so he could not manipulate the array plate to break the array.
