Ye Tian was startled. He waved his hand, and the fox slowly retreated, but its head remained lowered, as if it dared not meet his gaze.
After testing the power of the Xianji Gu, he was about to leave when a group of monkeys suddenly leaped from the trees. They all knelt on the ground, bowing and kowtowing to him, their demeanor rather comical.
Ye Tian smiled faintly and waved them away. However, the monkeys did not move. Instead, they chattered at him and then moved towards a distance, looking back repeatedly as if to invite Ye Tian to follow.
He was momentarily stunned and communicated with the Xianji Gu in secret. The Xianji Gu conveyed a message stating that these monkeys had discovered an ancient tomb nearby, containing many items, and they wished to offer the treasures within the tomb to Ye Tian.
"There are spiritual herbs?"
Ye Tian then followed the monkeys for a distance, passing through several paths inaccessible to ordinary people, and finally arrived at a cliff. The upper part of this cliff jutted forward, and at a position about thirty meters from the cliff top, there was a dark, deep cave accessible only by vines.
The fox leaped onto the cave entrance first, then looked back at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, with his agile movements, landed before the cave in a few leaps. Peering inside, the cave was dark and deep. He took out a flashlight and shone it inside. At this, countless bats flew out, flapping their wings and escaping into the sky.
At this moment, he saw a vertical inscription on the cave entrance, which he read aloud: Qing Ling Fu Di.
He was slightly taken aback: "It's actually a blessed land! But why is there no spiritual energy at the cave entrance?"
Just as he was about to enter the cave to investigate, he suddenly heard two people talking from the cliff top, three men and two women.
A young man said, "Aunt Hua, Senior Zhang, according to ancient texts, Qing Ling Fu Di is located in this vicinity."
A gentle female voice replied, "Wenshu, can the ancient records be trusted?"
The young man chuckled, "Aunt Hua, it should be reliable. But I see only cliffs and precipices all around. I suspect its location might be on the other side."
Then, a young woman's voice, pleasant to the ear, chimed in, "Senior Brother Wenshu, does Qing Ling Fu Di truly contain elixirs?"
The young man said, "Junior Sister Lu'er, Qing Ling Fu Di was a place where ancient immortals cultivated. It's bound to have some spiritual elixirs left behind."
The Lu'er girl said, "That would be wonderful. If we find elixirs, my mother can break through."
Aunt Hua said, "Lu'er, times have changed. Blessed lands are not so easily found. Even if we find one, it might have changed beyond recognition. Let's not hold out too much hope."
At this moment, the fox let out a "squeak," immediately drawing the attention of the people above.
"Eh, there's something down here," the young man exclaimed.
Ye Tian immediately pointed to the side. The fox, being very intelligent, immediately climbed to the other side along the vines and appeared in their line of sight.
"It's just a wild monkey," the young woman said with a smile.
After exchanging a few words, these people walked off in another direction. Just as he was about to call the fox over, he heard two more people talking from above.
"That kid Zhuo Wenshu, can he really find Qing Ling Fu Di?" a hoarse voice asked.
"If it were that easy to find, would it be our turn?" another sinister voice replied. "Follow them. Once they discover the Qing Ling Cave Heaven, we'll kill Hua Qianyi and her daughter."
"Zhang Jiwu is very strong. I wonder if Zhuo Wenshu can succeed."
"Don't worry. The mosquito repellent he's carrying has my 'Soft Bone Powder' in it. Once we release the smoke, they'll be incapacitated immediately."
After speaking, both of them laughed and then chased after the people ahead.
After they had gone far, Ye Tian hesitated for a moment and muttered to himself, "I should follow and see."
With this thought, he reached the cliff top and began to stealthily follow the direction the two groups of people were heading.
After walking for about five li, he faintly heard the voice of the "Aunt Hua" from before, who said excitedly, "It should be here!" Da Feng Novel Network
Peeking through the gaps in the leaves, Ye Tian saw four people standing in front of a cave covered with vines.
