Chapter 115: Disappointing Relics

Cang Beichun was about to rush into the stone gate, but he saw a figure in front of him and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Old boy, you're very fast." Ding Huan looked at Cang Beichun with a smile.

"You..." Cang Beichun seemed to have seen a ghost and could not believe his eyes at all.

Ding Huan snorted coldly:
"What do you mean by 'I'? I was kind enough not to kill you and asked you to lead the way, but I didn't expect you to deceive me first and avoid me later. Because you provided me with wrong information, I almost fell off the cliff."

"My friend, this is indeed a misunderstanding. I was a little afraid that my friend would take action, so I was mean-spirited. I, Cang Beichun, swear now..."

Ding Huan interrupted Cang Beichun and said, "No need to swear. Tell me, are you practicing here?"

Cang Beichun had cold sweat on his forehead. He kept wondering why Ding Huan could appear in front of him so accurately?

He was sure that he had been extremely careful along the way and would never be followed.

How come he was blocked by the other party even though he was so cautious?

Didn't this guy in front of me say outside that he would search one cave after another? If we follow this pace, it will take at least one or two days to find this place.

At the fastest, it would take at least one day.

No one had prepared anything when they came in, so he thought Ding Huan had to go out and prepare various mining lamps and food before coming back.

"This..." Cang Beichun hesitated.

He was sure that innateness was not the ultimate. If he wanted to break through innateness, this was the only place.

In his heart, this place is the true remains of Taoist cultivation in the Kunlun Mountains. As for going further inside, he has also been there.

At the deepest part, you can only find a few vitality stones, nothing else.

Inside this place, there is a training place with rich vitality. Although the place is a bit small, he always feels that this small place has too many secrets.

It was just that his cultivation and knowledge were too low and he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

If this place is handed over to someone else, how can he make progress in the future?

"Puff!" A flash of blood exploded, and Cang Beichun felt a chill on his shoulder. Then he was horrified to find that one of his arms had been chopped off by Ding Huan.

"My friend, this is indeed the place where I retreat."

Cang Beichun suddenly realized that his life was in the hands of the guy in front of him. What qualifications and reasons did he have not to speak out?

"How did you get into this cave just now?" Ding Huan asked calmly.

Cang Beichun quickly said, "This cave is open for a few hours every day. I plan to block the cave after entering so that my friends won't know.

I admit that I was selfish, and I am willing to..."

"Puff!" A beam of blood exploded on Cang Beichun's neck.

Cang Beichun saw his back, and his last consciousness was that his head had been chopped off.

Why? Hasn't he said it yet?

Ding Huan opened his hand, and before Cang Beichun's body fell, a cloth bag hanging on his waist was grabbed by Ding Huan.

Following Ding Huan, a ball of fire fell on Cang Beichun's body, and in a short time, Cang Beichun's body turned into a pile of ashes under the fire.

It was not until this moment that Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu ran over eagerly.

"Brother..." Qi Xinyue looked at the stone cave behind Ding Huan. There was a burnt smell and she could roughly guess what was going on.

Ding Huan walked to the place where Cang Beichun inserted the small flag, and he found that this groove was really different from the other grooves.

There seem to be some dense lines carved inside this groove.

This reminded Ding Huan of the divine pattern of the immortal spider. Could it be the same thing?
He took out a small flag from Cang Beichun's cloth bag. He didn't know what material the flag was made of, but it felt warm in his hand.

The flag is only about twelve centimeters long. In addition to the flagpole, there is also a brown flag surface, which is only about five square centimeters.

If you don't hold it in your hands, you won't notice that the flagpole and the flag are covered with dense lines.

After his divine sense penetrated a bit, Ding Huan was shocked to find that his divine sense could not penetrate at all.

This is definitely not an ordinary treasure.

In addition to these, there were some vitality stones and a few hand-copied breathing methods in the bag. Judging from the paper, it should have been copied by Cang Beichun himself.

"Let's go, let's enter this place." Ding Huan grabbed the flag and was the first to enter the stone cave on the side.

Before, his divine sense had only scanned halfway before it was blocked by something, which made Ding Huan even more interested.

After entering the cave, Ding Huan saw another groove at the back of the cave, which was also covered with lines.

Ding Huan inserted the small flag, and sure enough, the stone cave slowly returned to its original position.

Ding Huan's spiritual sense swept out, and then he was shocked to find that his spiritual sense was blocked by the stone wall and could not penetrate out at all.

Just like before, the divine thoughts could not come in.

It was indeed so. Ding Huan was glad that he came in time to stop Cang Beichun.

If there is enough food in here, Cang Beichun will stay in there for a few years and there is nothing he can do about it.

"Chiji..." Lao Liu came in and started barking after looking for a while.

Ding Huan simply took out a small bag, put the paper and pen into the bag and threw it to Lao Liu: "This will belong to you from now on."

Lao Liu excitedly grabbed the small bag, took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote: "This is a hidden formation, and the flag in your hand is the flag to open the formation gate." It was indeed a formation. Ding Huan nodded. He had also guessed that this seemed to be a formation.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand the formation at all.

"Cang Beichun has been in seclusion here for a long time. It should be safe here." Ding Huan greeted Qi Xinyue and walked towards the depths of the cave.

After walking only a few dozen meters, Ding Huan saw a stone gate again.

He could clearly see the stone gate when he got closer, but when his divine sense swept over it just now, it was all blurry.

There was still a groove next to the stone gate, and Ding Huan consciously inserted the formation flag in his hand into the groove.

With a creak, the stone door was opened without any surprise.

The scene he saw made Ding Huan stunned. Is it so simple?
Ding Huan thought that since Cang Beichun had been practicing in seclusion here for such a long time, this must be a very spacious and complex palace-like place.

The area that is pleasing to the eye will never exceed thirty square meters.

It’s not about the size of the area, but the furnishings inside can be seen clearly at a glance.

Four luminous pearls emitting a misty glow are inlaid in the four corners of the stone cave, along with a stone bed, a stone chair, and a bluestone cushion.

In addition, there is an altar.

There is a smooth area on the stone wall next to the stone bed, where some methods of cultivating luck are carved.

Ding Huan took a look and found it unremarkable, just the same martial arts technique he had obtained from Cang Beichun before.

Ding Huan had no interest in this at all.

Apart from this, no matter how you look at the rest of the place, it doesn't look like a Taoist relic.

Ding Huan suspected that he had killed Cang Beichun too early. He should at least let the other party in to see if there were other mechanisms inside.

The only difference is that the vitality of heaven and earth here is very rich.

Ding Huan's spiritual thoughts kept sweeping inside, and he soon discovered something different: the vital energy of heaven and earth was emanating from underground.

His spiritual sense couldn't penetrate deeper, and it seemed that there was some kind of formation carved underneath.

"This seems to be a stone cave where ordinary people live in seclusion." Qi Xinyue couldn't help but say.

She also didn't feel there was anything special about this place.

Ding Huan's spiritual consciousness searched back and forth in the stone cave repeatedly. He was really unwilling to believe that the ancient Taoist ruins he had been looking forward to was such an ordinary stone cave.

After searching for nearly thirty minutes, Ding Huan's mind suddenly stopped at a place at the entrance of the cave.

By now, Ding Huan had already summarized the rules through his divine observation.

That is where the formation is, and divine thoughts cannot penetrate.

Now he scanned the stone wall with his spiritual power, and found that this stone wall was no different from the ordinary stone walls in the cave.

But there was an area near the door that couldn't be swept in.

Ding Huan reached out and touched the place that could not be swept into. It was a protrusion that was exactly the same as the surrounding area.

This stone wall was obviously carved by humans, and there are many bumpy and protruding places.

Ding Huan pulled the stone, and the protruding stone fell into his hand.

With a pinch of force, the pebble instantly became smooth.

It appears to be only about two square centimeters in size and is shaped like a star.

Even if he held it in his own hand, Ding Huan's spiritual sense still could not penetrate into this star-shaped stone.

Ding Huan put the star-shaped stone into his pocket and said, "There shouldn't be anything else in here. I never thought it would be such an ordinary cave."

Lao Liu chirped and pointed at the ground.

Ding Huan casually sent out dozens of wind blades to the ground, and soon a faint white light permeated out.

"There is actually a three-meter-long vital energy meridian here." Ding Huan said in amazement.

As soon as he came in, he discovered that there was vital energy oozing out from the ground. He always thought that there were a lot of vital energy stones buried underground.

To be honest, with a pile of God-Blooming Crystals on him, Ding Huan no longer had the same desire for the Yuanqi Stone as before.

Unexpectedly, after digging it up, it turned out not to be the Yuanqi Stone, but the Yuanqi Meridian.

Ding Huan had never seen the Yuan Qi pulse.

However, in his opinion, this thing, like the Yuanqi Stone, which contains the Yuanqi of heaven and earth and forms a whole, is naturally the Yuanqi Meridian.

The wind blades in Ding Huan's hands kept slashing down, and soon this nearly ten-foot-long vital energy meridian was pulled out by him.

"Chiji..." Lao Liu was extremely excited about this Yuanqi Meridian. It kept chirping around the Yuanqi Meridian.

"Let's go, there's nothing to investigate here." Ding Huan said with some disappointment.

His previous idea was indeed to get some vitality stones from the Taoist ruins in the Kunlun Mountains.

Now he just wants to get some Taoist cultivation techniques or Taoist magical powers.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he did not get the Yuan Qi Stone, nor the magical skills, but he did get a Yuan Qi meridian that was a meter long.
