“What on earth is this?”
Chen Xian couldn't help but ask.
“I don't know what this is either.”
Huang Zhen leaned over to take a look into the pool, shaking his head, evidently unable to make it out clearly.
Due to the frequent rains in the mountains recently, the pit was filled with a pool of sewage.
“Anyway, it's definitely not sothing left by humans.”
Huang Zhen added.
Chen Xian nodded in agreent.
If there really was soone whose excrent could have such an effect, how powerful would that person have to be?
Perhaps at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, ninety-ninth rank?
“I reckon this is ancient excrent, possibly left by the ancient dragon race, or even the primordial deities.” Huang Zhen speculated.
“Hmm, very likely!”
Chen Xian nodded seriously.
During the era of the eight great ancient supres, although it was the early days of the Immortal Realm, it was a ti of great flourishing, with nurous powerful races and experts erging one after another.
Only such an era could explain why a re piece of excrent could have such an effect.
“If that’s the case, the high-ranking expert who once lived here must have known about this sewage pit and deliberately ca here to use it for seclusion and self-improvent,” Huang Zhen speculated further. “While staying here, he also happened to resolve the conflicts between the Realm of Wasteland and the Realm of Arrays.”
“Very likely.”
Chen Xian nodded seriously and said, “However, with him gone now, it's highly unlikely he'll return.”
“So, what should we do next?”
Huang Zhen asked.
“I’m considering whether we can take this ancient sewage pit with us,” Chen Xian boldly suggested.
Huang Zhen was startled, “You an?”
“Correct.”
Chen Xian said, “Just standing next to this pool for a short while has left almost all the black qi in our bodies gone, restoring us to our peak state. Imagine, if we took it back to the Great Wasteland, how much help it could be for everyone!”
At this, Huang Zhen grew excited and quickly chid in, “Perhaps it could even clear the black qi from everyone’s bodies.”
“If that happens, no one will ever be driven mad by the black mist again.”
“Quick, let’s get moving.”
The two imdiately got to work, eager to start.
Chen Xian just happened to have a top-grade immortal artifact water urn in his possession, which he usually used to suppress the key point of the array. While suppressing the key point, if he infused it with water talismans, the array’s effect would be greatly enhanced. ȑ𝐀ℕőＢЕ𝐬
Little did he expect it would co in handy here.
With a wave of his hand, the water talisman urn landed heavily to the side.
Rolling up their sleeves, the two grabbed containers and began scooping the contents of the sewage pit into the water talisman urn.
The two worked up a sweat.
Seeing Huang Zhen splashing around, Chen Xian couldn’t help but shout at him, “Be more careful, be gentle, you already spilled a lot just now!”
“I’ll be careful, I promise.”
Huang Zhen was indeed too excited, which led to the mishap. Seeing the few drops that splashed out and disappeared into the soil after being absorbed, he imdiately felt the pain of waste.
What a pity!
After half a day, the sewage pit was almost empty, and the water talisman urn was nearly full.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Chen Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
“Uh, there’s still quite a bit left at the bottom, shouldn’t we take that too?” Huang Zhen couldn’t help but ask.
“What do you know?”
Chen Xian shot him a glance and said, “Since ancient tis, cultivators have always valued leaving a bit of leeway. With a divine artifact like this, it’s even more important not to obliterate it entirely. If we were to take it all and leave no trace, we’d risk heavenly retribution.”
“By leaving this behind, this place won’t lose its effect, and it will continue to benefit future generations.”
“I see.”
Huang Zhen suddenly understood, feeling duly educated.
“Although this trip hasn’t even allowed us to et that expert, what’s lost may be gain!” Chen Xian exclaid, “With this urn, the benefits it will bring to everyone far outweighs eting one or two experts!”
“Yes, if Elder Chen and the others were to know, they’d be over the moon!”
Huang Zhen said with equal fervor.
“Then let’s not delay, we should head back now,” Chen Xian said.
“Agreed!”
Huang Zhen nodded.
Without further ado, the two squatted down and lifted the water talisman urn, one on each side, before flying off into the distance, disappearing as a streak of light.
...
Hundred Refinents Sect.
After thoroughly investigating Su Bai’s background, Wang Yue found it hard to calm down.
“He’s really just an errand disciple?”
Wang Yue was completely stunned.
He had originally thought that Su Bai was so reclusive old monster, disguising himself as a re errand disciple in his sect due to so purpose, or perhaps tired of the cutthroat life of cultivation.
But the facts told him otherwise.
Su Bai was not so old monster; his real age was only fourteen.
Wang Yue knew this because the sect conducts thorough checks on every disciple. The records regarding Su Bai detailed his entire background.
Because of this, Wang Yue had even gone down the mountain to investigate.
From Su Bai's origins to his childhood and upbringing, everything matched the records in the jade slip.
There was no way to fake these details.
Which ant that Su Bai was indeed only fourteen years old, and had never possessed such strength before.
Instead, it was all of a sudden: from being an errand disciple, he beca a supre expert capable of breaking arrays with a single finger.
“What in the world is going on?”
“What exactly is hidden here?”
