Zhang Tian had only brought four tents.
After all, there weren't many people then, so there was no need to bring so many.
But now with Professor Li and the others, four was clearly not enough.
"Lao Hu, you and Miss Yang can share one, and Fatty, you'll have one to yourself."
"Kirin and I will take one, and Professor Li, you and Xiao Guang can have one. Any problems?"
Zhang Tian looked at everyone and assigned them simply.
As for why Fatty had his own tent, those who understood, understood.
"Boss, you truly know Fatty best, Boss."
Fatty was practically about to kiss Zhang Tian.
"No objections."
Everyone else echoed in unison.
Zhang Tian's assignments were always fair, and there had never been any issues with uneven distribution.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhang Tian then began setting up tents on the mountain.
The wind on the mountain was strong at night.
As the wind blew, the already thin tents struggled to withstand the raging gales.
"This won't do, the wind is too strong. If it continues like this, even with more wood, it won't work."
Professor Li looked at the tents that couldn't be set up and felt a bit frustrated.
Then he looked at Hu Bayi's side.
When Professor Li and Xiao Guang saw that Hu Bayi's tent was not shaking at all in the wind, not even needing stones to anchor it, they rubbed their eyes.
"Teacher Li, am I seeing things? Why are their tents so stable?"
Xiao Guang was bewildered at this moment.
Good heavens, his tent was dancing in the wind, while others were completely still.
"Could this be some kind of magic?"
Xiao Guang looked at the scene and immediately thought of magic.
"It's possible, but having such magic would be very convenient."
Professor Li said.
He felt a little envious.
But looking at himself, he felt a bit embarrassed to speak up.
Zhang Tian had also finished setting up his tent by this time.
With a talisman pasted on, the tent did not shake at all in the wind.
This was a Wind-Suppressing Talisman, which, as the name suggested, was used to suppress strong winds.
Thus calming the gales.
He looked at Professor Li's side.
It was still a mess.
Without hesitation, Zhang Tian drew a talisman on the spot, infused it with true qi, and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Professor Li quickly accepted it.
Then, with Zhang Tian's help, Professor Li's tent was also set up.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
It was completely black now.
Hu Bayi and the others found some dry firewood around and then lit a bonfire on the mountaintop.
The warm flames burned before their eyes.
Zhang Tian took out the venison he hadn't finished from his spatial storage.
Looking up at the starry sky.
No one spoke, but the atmosphere at this moment was exceptionally good.
Zhang Tian skewered the meat and placed it on the fire rack.
"Boss, this venison of yours is really good. By the way, are we going to check both sides tomorrow?"
Fatty asked Zhang Tian while gnawing on venison.
Zhang Tian pondered and took a large bite of the meat.
"Let's go to the Golden Summit first tomorrow."
As Zhang Tian spoke, he instinctively looked behind him.
Upon seeing what was behind him, Zhang Tian rubbed his eyes.
His eyes widened in surprise.
The Golden Summit he had seen in the afternoon had now disappeared.
In the sky, besides the bright moon and scattered stars, the golden palace had vanished.
It was like a mirage, appearing briefly and then disappearing.
Zhang Tian's gaze then swept around the surroundings.
But to Zhang Tian's surprise, it was still the same; he couldn't see anything.
Only stars and the moon.
Zhang Tian took a breath and stood up.
He scanned the area again.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Tian's unusual behavior, Shirley Yang's gaze showed a hint of confusion.
Zhang Tian calmly sat back down.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Golden Summit from this afternoon has disappeared."
Zhang Tian said calmly.
After he finished speaking, the normally placid group immediately stood up.
Except for Zhang Qilin.
"What? Boss, are you crazy? Such a big thing, and you're so nonchalant about it."
Fatty exclaimed excitedly.
The others kept scanning their surroundings.
But undoubtedly, there was no trace of the Golden Summit anywhere else.
The Golden Summit had vanished into thin air right before Zhang Tian and the others' eyes.
"How is this possible? Such a large Golden Summit just disappeared."
Professor Li exclaimed, his voice even trembling slightly.
That was a massive structure; even if it disappeared, where would it hide?
After looking for a while, everyone slowly sat down.
"Boss, how could that thing disappear out of thin air? How are we going to get to the Golden Summit now?"
Fatty said dejectedly.
"I've thought of something."
Hu Bayi spoke up.
"If this Golden Summit disappears from time to time, perhaps that's precisely why it escaped the crisis back then."
As Hu Bayi spoke, Zhang Tian nodded in agreement.
He had also wondered why the Golden Summit remained unharmed during the fierce battles between the Xian King and the people of Yaowang Valley back then.
In hindsight, it made a lot of sense.
"Right, back when we were in Xu Fu's tomb and the underwater tomb, we found evidence of Yaowang Valley."
"Inside, there were records about the Medicine King, and Xu Fu even had some dan scriptures. Judging by the scale of those elixirs, this place must have been thoroughly looted by them."
Zhang Tian said, recalling the tombs they had plundered before.
At this moment, Professor Li and Xiao Guang exchanged glances and remained silent, simply listening.
"So, if that's the case, doesn't that mean this place has been looted twice?"
Shirley Yang interjected.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"Likely not just twice, but possibly three or four times, we just don't know."
"And the architecture here has clearly been damaged by looting."
Zhang Tian stated.
Buildings built on cliffs must have had incredible structural integrity.
Ordinary people or storms and heavy rain would be no match for them.
But for those who came with a purpose, it might be different.
"Then, if that's the case, these buildings might have been destroyed several times. But how did they manage to obtain elixirs repeatedly?"
"Or did the previous occupants not take everything? Or were there secret passages?"
Shirley Yang murmured, and Zhang Tian also considered the possibility of secret passages.
If he were to establish a sect, where would he store his treasures?
The answer would certainly be the safest place.
"Boss, but how are we going to find the secret passage?"
Fatty scratched his head.
"It's simple. The secret passage might be inside the Golden Hall that disappeared."
Zhang Tian said, looking up at the stars.
Zhang Tian wasn't sure if he could still pick up anything from the previous occupants.
But Zhang Tian knew for sure that the Golden Summit must contain something valuable.
Based on the practices of others, after looting, they would likely destroy the structures. However, the Golden Summit remained intact, which itself proved that no one had entered it.
"Then how do we enter the Golden Summit?"
Professor Li couldn't help but ask.
"There's likely a grand formation here, one so powerful that even I can't discern it. We must find the formation first."
Zhang Tian mumbled, and Hu Bayi's expression became solemn.
Neither he nor Zhang Tian could figure out such a formation, let alone break it.
