Ye Qiu stood in front of a stone wall, on which characters were written in a flourishing style, evidently completed in one stroke.
However, after all these years, the writing was sowhat blurry, only a few words could be made out but they didn’t form a sentence. Ye Qiu couldn’t understand it.
This should be the southeast corner Wu Yaizi ntioned, but right now there’s only a stone wall and nothing else. Back then, the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect practiced here, yet there is no sign of a cave dwelling.
Ye Qiu touched the mottled stone wall, feeling a trace of history.
All around were forested mountains, except this place seed like a practice spot, but there was only a stone wall. Ye Qiu thought the cave must be hidden deeper inside.
Otherwise, Wu Yaizi would have found it long ago.
Ye Qiu searched around for a while, discovering nothing special. Where could that cave dwelling be?
The chubby guy stood by silently, fearing to disturb Ye Qiu’s thoughts. Just then, he suddenly noticed two rays of light emitting from Ye Qiu’s eyes.
Others might not find the cave, but it wouldn’t necessarily stump Ye Qiu. Don’t forget, he has a pair of eyes that can see through.
Now, activating the see-through eyes, Ye Qiu’s gaze penetrated the stone wall, seeing everything inside completely.
Solid!
Ye Qiu discovered that behind the stone wall was not hollow, but complete stone, and even the mountain’s interior was filled with huge rocks.
"Could it be not on the ground?" Ye Qiu scanned around, didn’t find any caves in the mountain, then he turned his gaze to the underground with a sense of doubt.
If even underground there isn’t any, then there’s no way.
His gaze penetrated the surface, reaching underground. At the sa ti, his spiritual power accompanied it. Suddenly, his heart fluttered as he found a special location.
Under the mountain, there was an open space, covering a fairly large area, about twenty square ters.
Since the cave truly exists, then it’s manageable. Ye Qiu followed the underground space, continuously scanning back and forth, eventually determining the direction of the entrance.
"Let’s go." Retracting his gaze, Ye Qiu motioned to the chubby guy to follow him.
"Found it?" The chubby guy was slightly taken aback, Ye Qiu didn’t answer, he imdiately followed. The two of them circled to the other side of the mountain, until they stood in front of a large tree.
Ye Qiu patted the tree, emitting a muffled sound. Indeed, it was here, the entrance was it.
"Isn’t this just a tree? How could there be any mystery?" the chubby guy said.
Ye Qiu chuckled, didn’t explain, but directly lifted the chubby guy and flew up the tree.
The chubby guy exclaid until standing on the tree crown, he realized, this tree wasn’t ordinarily tall. He didn’t understand, Ye Qiu was clearly looking for that secret place, why climbing a tree?
Ye Qiu stepped on the treetop, then asked the chubby guy to move aside. When Ye Qiu stood on the trunk and lifted the treetop, revealing a pitch-black tree hole, the chubby guy was stunned and imdiately understood, gasping: "Could this be the entrance to the secret place?"
"I’ll go in first, you wait outside. If anything happens, just shout into the tree hole." Ye Qiu instructed, leaping into the tree hole.
As his feet landed, the pitch-black environnt instantly transford, with lights naturally igniting.
Beneath the tree hole was a long corridor with flares burning on both sides.
Ye Qiu slowly walked inside. He wasn’t careless, to avoid any mishap.
Safely reaching the innermost part, Ye Qiu found it was an underground stone room. Lit by the firelight, it wasn’t dark, and he could clearly see everything inside at a glance.
Ye Qiu walked in, his eyes landing on a bookshelf not far away. He eagerly went over.
The books were covered in dust. Ye Qiu blew off the dust, picked up a book at random, wiped off the clinging dust, and opened it. As he read, he was enthralled by the content, unable to move for an hour, his eyes continuously scanning through the various writings.
The books on the shelf were naturally all related to Alchemy, and there were more than a dozen, each half an inch thick, filled with dense characters, although ssy, but Ye Qiu could understand them.
"No wonder the first Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect, his Alchemy is far beyond mine." Ye Qiu thought, overwheld.
Without comparison, you wouldn’t know the gap.
Ye Qiu’s Alchemy was self-taught. In ancient lands, he obtained the Great Emperor’s legacy, which was Alchemy, becoming a Pill Master. However, upon comparing his learning with the first Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect, he found a huge difference.
So thods ntioned in the books, he had never heard before.
Alchemy was distinguished by techniques. So pills could only be refined with that sole technique.
Ye Qiu took all the books from the shelf, reading them one by one, totally absorbed, because the alchemical arts recorded in these books were very advanced, and extrely systematic, with detailed annotations, far more profound than Ye Qiu’s own research.
Outside, the chubby guy waited for a long ti without seeing Ye Qiu co out. Tired from standing, he simply sat on the tree, eventually lying on the trunk and falling asleep.
When the chubby guy woke up, it was already the next day. He yawned, looking sleepy.
"Still not out?" He glanced around, not seeing Ye Qiu’s figure.
"Could he have encountered danger and couldn’t co out?" He speculated about the tree crown. If so, he could leave and return to his life.
The chubby guy had climbed halfway down, but then he climbed back up.
"No, I can’t just leave like this. No matter what, he treated well these days. At least I should light a few incense sticks for him." He murmured. But there was no incense, so he glanced around the tree branches, quickly coming up with an idea, breaking off three wooden branches, inserting them into the tree crown, and lighting them with a flint.
"Ye Fantian, although you made your servant and changed my na, I don’t hate you."
"Our destiny ends here. Wishing you a good journey in the afterlife."
"If in the next life you beco an ox or a horse, I will pull grass for you to eat." He muttered, then tossed the three wooden sticks to the ground, starting to climb down the tree.
Just as he climbed down, patting his backside, adjusting his sleeves, ready to leave, he looked up and found Ye Qiu looking at him with a murderous gaze.
Frightened, he nearly wet himself, imdiately forcing a smile: "You’re okay, that’s great, I knew it, as strong as you are, as the Sect Leader, how could you just die like that."
"Were you just chanting for ?" Ye Qiu said expressionlessly.
"Haha... how could that be." The chubby guy rubbed his head, explaining: "I was too cold, wanted to make a fire to warm up."
"Making a fire in a tree, aren’t you afraid of burning yourself?" Ye Qiu said.
"Thick-skinned, won’t burn." The chubby guy laughed.
"Heh... is that so? Then make another fire just like before..."
"..." The chubby guy was speechless.
