Chapter 141 The Fragmented Map of the Void Heaven
With Lao Hu taking the lead, the others also took out their items to exchange and stated what they wanted.
Although the Stone Butterfly Fairy of Red Moon Island was only at the Pseudo-Core stage, she had considerable skill in array formations. The array flag materials she brought out were exchanged by Han Li for demon beast resources.
Qingfeng and Ling Yuling, on the other hand, had no shortage of pills, cultivation techniques, or resources; they were just joining in the fun.
Qingfeng took out several ordinary magic weapons, all of which were two-in-one products, hoping to exchange them for some refining materials.
Ling Yuling happened to take a fancy to several of Qingfeng's magical treasures, so the two of them exchanged some.
When it was the turn of Mu Xuzi and the Gu brothers, what they brought out piqued Qingfeng's interest.
"Yin Marrow Stone, Yin Nether Grass! These are all rare and valuable items that only grow in Yin Sha lands."
"Stone Butterfly Fairy's bodyguard, Cultivator Jian, exclaimed in surprise."
"This is a rare find in the Chaotic Star Sea."
Old Hu also stared intently, observing carefully.
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, my Yin Marrow Stone and the Yin Nether Grass of the Gu brothers actually come from the same ancient cultivator's relics."
Brother Jin Qing invited everyone to gather here at our request.
Mu Xuzi smiled and stroked his white beard.
"Ancient cultivator ruins? Heh, I knew it, Old Jin, you spent so many spirit stones on this meal, it must be for something good! Haha!"
Old Hu laughed heartily.
"Fellow Daoist Mu is right. Actually, the reason for inviting everyone to this gathering is to organize a get-together."
I have always enjoyed exploring ruins, especially those of ancient cultivators. And Fellow Daoist Mu and the two Gu brothers happen to have clues about the ruins of ancient cultivators.
You are all my friends, and with such a wonderful opportunity, I naturally want to take you all to explore it together.
Jin Qing said.
Upon hearing this, Han Li frowned, a look of doubt on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, since these Yin Marrow Stones and Yin Nether Grasses come from the relics of that ancient cultivator, you must have already been there once."
"You've invited us to go again this time, is there some kind of magic array or restriction preventing us from going?"
Han Li glanced at the Stone Butterfly Fairy of Red Moon Island.
He was invited because Jin Qing valued his status as an array master, and Shi Die was also an array master.
The fact that two array masters can gather at once means that they must have encountered a difficult array to solve, which is why they are needed.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to retrieve the treasure yourself?
"Hehe, this Fellow Daoist Han is indeed meticulous."
As you said, we've already been to that ancient site once. Indeed, we were unable to break through the magical array that restricted it, and returned empty-handed.
However, since we've gathered everyone here, it's to explore together. After breaking the underwater barrier, we'll enter the ancient cultivator's cave.
Mu Xuzi did not deny it.
Break the magic array and explore together.
After listening to Mu Xuzi's words, Qingfeng closed his folding fan.
"The ruins of an ancient cultivator at the bottom of the sea? Fellow Daoist Mu, do you know what period it was from, and who left them behind? And how did you learn about these ruins?"
He looked at Mu Xuzi and asked.
"To be honest, fellow Daoists, this is a long story. Let me tell you slowly."
Three years ago, I made some mistakes in my cultivation, which damaged my vital energy and left me with little lifespan. So I decided to travel and see the world again.
Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, I found a cave on a deserted island and picked up a bottle of elixirs and a jade slip.
After some research, I discovered that the elixir was an elixir of immortality made from the Longevity Fruit, while the jade slip contained information about the underwater ruins.
Since my lifespan was limited, I directly consumed the remaining elixir of immortality in the bottle, gaining over thirty years of lifespan.
But... what good would living another thirty years do? I would still be stuck at the late Core Formation stage until my lifespan runs out again and I pass away peacefully.
So, following the information recorded on the jade slip, I began to search everywhere. Finally, I found the remains of the ancient cultivators.
Mu Xuzi paused at this point.
"Hehe, whether you're a cultivator or a mortal, the closer you are to your end, the more you want to live."
This elixir of immortality has extended my life by thirty years!
Then I would like to try again.
And recently... you've all probably heard about what happened at the Void Heaven Palace, haven't you?"
Mu Xuzi's gaze swept across the crowd.
"I know! Rumor has it that the Void Heaven Palace will open in twenty years. I've heard that it contains countless magical treasures and resources, offering a wealth of opportunities."
Anyone who survives and leaves the Void Heaven Palace will experience a rapid increase in their cultivation level.
Old Hu said with great enthusiasm.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, what is the connection between the Void Heaven Palace and the ancient cultivator ruins you mentioned?"
Stone Butterfly Fairy frowned and interrupted to ask.
"The Longevity Pill is made from the Longevity Fruit, and the Longevity Fruit is only produced in the Void Heaven Palace."
Fellow Daoist Mu was implying that the owner of the pills and jade slips must have been to the Void Heaven Palace, and that people who have been to the Void Heaven Palace likely possess fragments of the Void Heaven Map.
Otherwise, without the fragment of the Void Heaven Map, how would he know the location of the Void Heaven Palace?
How did they get in and retrieve the Longevity Fruit?
Am I right, Fellow Daoist Mu?
Qingfeng explained, glancing at Mu Xuzi.
"Hehe, Young Master Qingfeng is indeed knowledgeable, even knowing about things like the Void Heaven Remnant Map."
Indeed, those ancient cultivator's remains are the cave dwelling of the Sha Yin Master.
And inside, besides the treasures he left behind after his death, there might also be the fragments of the Void Heaven Map.
Mu Xuzi said.
"The Fiendish Yin Master! Could he be the number one rogue cultivator from the Chaotic Star Sea a thousand years ago?!"
Upon hearing the name, Jin Qing immediately became excited.
"That's right, it's him. Based on my years of investigation, he has been to the Void Heaven Palace twice, so he must have the Void Heaven map in his possession."
I wasn't planning to tell you this news, but my lifespan is running out.
In order to obtain the Void Heaven Remnant Map and take a chance at the Void Heaven Palace, I would like to ask fellow Daoists for help in breaking the magic array restrictions surrounding the ruins.
I will not keep the fragments of the Void Heaven Map to myself.
I will entrust this to Fellow Daoist Jin Qing for safekeeping. Once the Void Heaven Palace opens, we can go there together.
Mu Xuzi bowed respectfully and said.
After he finished speaking, the people around the round table had different thoughts.
Qingfeng didn't care; he had two fragments of the Void Heaven Remnant Map.
One was from Xuan Gu, and the other was from Master Sun, a disciple of Ji Yin.
He wasn't interested in the Void Heaven Remnant Map, but he was very interested in the Yin Marrow Stone and the Yin Nether Grass.
As for the others, Lao Hu need not say more; they will definitely go with Jin Qing.
After a moment's thought, the Stone Butterfly Fairy and her guard Old Jian from Red Moon Island agreed to go and explore the island.
Han Li, observing his elder brother Qingfeng's expression, saw that he nodded and had no objections. Being able to go on a dungeon with his elder brother was simply wonderful.
As for Ling Yuling, the rich and beautiful woman from Xinggong Palace, she actually lacks nothing.
If she wants to go to the Void Heaven Palace, it's just a matter of saying a word.
Furthermore, the elders of the Star Palace had to compete to be her bodyguards. Jin Kui even had to give her special permission, personally opening back doors to allow the young lady of the Star Palace to roam freely in the Void Heaven Palace.
"As long as this young lady stays in the Star Palace, she can safely grow to the Nascent Soul stage. She shouldn't be interested in things like tomb raiding, right?"
Qingfeng thought to himself.
"Alright! Since everyone is going, I, Ling, am willing to go as well."
A look of excitement appeared on Ling Yuling's face.
"?"
Qingfeng was taken aback.
You, Miss Xinggong, shouldn't be a steady and obedient girl?
A wise man avoids standing under a crumbling wall, don't you understand?
Are you worried about something going wrong when you're doing a dungeon run with a group of people you don't know well?
In particular, among the people who went to the dungeon this time was the Grim Reaper Han Li.
"Alright, since everyone has made up their minds, let's set off in three days to explore the cave of that Sha Yin Shangren."
"The fragmented map of the Void Heaven will belong to everyone. As for the other treasures found inside, we'll divide them up then."
Jin Qing finally set a time, agreeing to meet outside Tianxing City three days later to dig for the treasure in the cave.
