“Senior Brother!
By making such a big move, you could easily expose your identity.” Lin Yifan reminded.
“There’s no alternative.
Those people are too hateful, and they need to be taught a lesson!
If my identity really gets exposed, then I’ll just run away.
Unfortunately…”
At this point, Ding Lao Da sighed silently, clearly not wanting to miss sothing.
“Unfortunately what?” Lin Yifan asked curiously, feeling that Ding Lao Da seed to be hiding sothing from him.
“Junior Brother, do you know why I’ve been trying all ans to stay in this prison?” Ding Lao Da asked in return.
“I don’t know!” Lin Yifan shook his head.
Indeed, he never understood why Ding Lao Da chose to suffer as a prisoner in this dreadful place.
There are many places to hide from the pursuit of Central Plains cultivators, and one could choose to go incognito, without having to endure the harsh conditions of the prison.
“To be honest, there is a treasure underground in this prison!” Ding Lao Da replied.
“What!
A treasure!
Is that true?” Lin Yifan exclaid in surprise.
Hearing the word treasure, his eyes glead with excitent, and all his interest was instantly piqued.
“Absolutely true!
The reason I’ve been able to continue cultivation and advance in this spiritual energy-deprived city for all these years is entirely due to this treasure.” Ding Lao Da replied.
“Where is the treasure?
Why have I never seen it?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
“The treasure is underground, so of course, you couldn’t see it.” Ding Lao Da answered.
“How did you see it then?” Lin Yifan inquired.
“Spiritual energy sensing!
There’s a place in the prison where the spiritual energy is extrely dense, comparable to the mineral veins of our Sect; so I speculated there must be a treasure below.
And indeed, I was right.” Ding Lao Da answered.
“So, you’ve unearthed the treasure?” Lin Yifan asked, feeling a bit disappointed.
If he hadn’t found it, it would be so much better!
That way, he could share many treasures.
“Yes!” Ding Lao Da nodded in response, then added despondently, “However, I couldn’t get the real treasure!”
“What do you an?”
“I couldn’t enter the final secret chamber.” Ding Lao Da replied.
“Why can’t you go in?” Lin Yifan asked.
“Because there’s a prohibition protecting the door.” Ding Lao Da answered.
“Even you can’t break it?”
“No, this prohibition requires at least a True Master Fifth Realm to break.” Ding Lao Da replied.
“No way!
That’s so frustrating!” Lin Yifan almost felt like fainting.
He thought he could get so treasures today, but it turned out there was nothing.
“Junior Brother, don’t be disheartened.
The prohibition is high, but those destined can enter.” Ding Lao Da comforted.
“What do you an?” Lin Yifan imdiately perked up.
As long as there’s a chance to enter, anything is possible.
“What I an is, this prohibition recognizes people, not strength.
If you are the person it seeks, you can go in.” Ding Lao Da replied.
“That’s so mystical?” Lin Yifan found it hard to believe, it sounded too fantastical.
Destined person, how could he know if he is the destined person the prohibition seeks?
“It is indeed this mystical!” Ding Lao Da replied.
“Senior Brother, where is the treasure?
Can you take to see it?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
No matter if he is the destined person or not, if he doesn’t dare to try, the treasure will never belong to him.
“Junior Brother, don’t rush.
There are too many people during the day, easy to expose; fewer people at night, easier to act, I’ll take you tonight!” Ding Lao Da replied.
“OK!
I’ll follow Senior Brother’s lead!” Lin Yifan was extrely excited, eagerly anticipating.
A few hours later, night fell.
Though it was night, it was still not suitable for action, as it wasn’t the quietest ti yet.
A few more hours passed, the night was dark and the wind was high, perfect for action.
At this ti, Ding Lao Da quietly bent the iron bars on the window and then flew out through the window.
Lin Yifan followed closely, slipping out of the cell.
Ding Lao Da and Lin Yifan were locked in the sa cell, which was Ding Lao Da’s request; with his performance in the interrogation room this afternoon, he had the power to ask the guards to change cells.
After leaving the cell, Ding Lao Da turned left and right, flying towards a certain location.
Lin Yifan followed closely, relentlessly.
Soon, Ding Lao Da reached the destination.
This was a relatively remote grove within the prison, surrounded by gusty winds, pitch dark, rarely visited, a place filled with strong yin energy.
Arriving here, Lin Yifan felt chills, goosebumps rising; he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother!
Why did you bring to this grove?
Do you have that kind of hobby?”
“What are you thinking?
I’m normal, not interested in you.” Ding Lao Da rolled his eyes, really knocked down by Lin Yifan’s thought.
“Then why did you bring here?” Lin Yifan asked.
“This is the entrance to the treasure.
If I don’t bring you here, then where should I take you?” Ding Lao Da retorted.
“This is the entrance to the treasure?
I can’t see where the entrance is, and I don’t feel any spiritual energy.” Lin Yifan questioned.
“The entrance is on the ground, I’ve disguised it; and the spiritual energy has long been absorbed by , so there’s no spiritual energy here anymore; but there’s still dense spiritual energy inside the cave mansion for cultivation.” Ding Lao Da answered.
“No wonder the trees around here grow so big, so tall, because of the spiritual energy nourishnt.” Lin Yifan suddenly realized.
Around him, he saw tall and large trees, giving a feeling of entering a primordial forest.
“We shouldn’t delay, let’s get in quickly!” Ding Lao Da urged.
“Okay!” Lin Yifan nodded.
In accord, Ding Lao Da went to a corner, then searched for the pull ring on the ground.
After finding it, he pulled up hard.
Instantly, a square piece of ground was lifted by him.
Lin Yifan gaped, astonished by the result.
The entrance was camouflaged like the missile silo of a rcenary military base.
That is to say, there was a layer of soil on the hatch, with dense grass growing on top, blending with the surrounding environnt, becoming a natural camouflage.
After lifting the hatch, Ding Lao Da asked Lin Yifan to jump in first.
Without hesitation, Lin Yifan leaped into the well.
If Ding Lao Da wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t use such a troubleso thod, so he trusted Ding Lao Da.
After Lin Yifan jumped in, Ding Lao Da also followed suit.
Once inside, he didn’t forget to cover the hatch and restore the camouflage.
After doing all this, he took out a flashlight obtained from the guards, illuminating the way forward for Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan proceeded cautiously.
In such a dark and narrow well path, he had to be vigilant; because if danger occurred, it would be very difficult to escape.
