The mountains gradually became soft, and their shapes became soft as well. It felt like one could touch them with one's hand. The streams flowed slowly and lingered at the foot of the mountains.
At the top of the mountain, there were a few clouds that looked like clusters of brocade floating slowly.
At the bottom of the mountain, the quiet valley gave people a sense of serenity and tranquility.
If it was possible, no one would want to destroy this warm feeling.
Even He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were somewhat absent-minded when they arrived. They were so attracted by the ethereal atmosphere that they almost forgot their purpose.
"Young Master, this is a great place. It'll be great if we can stay here for a long time," Yuan Lixun said sincerely.
He Yiming nodded and looked around as if he was searching for something. After some time, he affirmed, "Yes, the universe's Qi here is unusually abundant, and it's not inferior to the medicine garden at Mount Heng's main peak and Spiritual Medicine Peak. If we can stay here for a long time, it'll naturally be beneficial to our cultivation bases. "
Yuan Lixun opened her little red mouth slightly, and for the first time, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
The tenderness in her heart was completely shattered by this sentence, and her pearly white teeth left a faint and neat imprint on her bright red lower lip.
'This blockhead …'
'On second thought, if he's not a blockhead, he can't have such a cultivation base at such a young age. 'If he's not a blockhead, would I be the only one by his side?'
Yuan Lixun nodded by instinct, and a strange thought crossed her mind. 'Blockhead is still the best!'
He Yiming looked at her in shock. When he said that, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. However, when he really noticed Yuan Lixun, he realized that she had completely returned to normal. It was as if what he had just experienced was just a momentary hallucination.
Yuan Lixun met He Yiming's gaze and smiled tactfully. Although most of her face was still covered by a veil, the smile in her eyes was obvious.
"Young Master, have you found it?"
He Yiming felt relieved. 'Looks like I was overthinking.'
He collected his thoughts and nodded slightly, saying, "I found a place, but I don't know if it's there." After saying that, he blinked twice and said, "Look around and see if you can find any other places."
Yuan Lixun looked around, but she furrowed her eyebrows because she did not see any suspicious places.
With a flip of her wrist, the map appeared in her hand. After a long while, she shook her head and sighed, "Young Master, I'm sure that the place we're at now is the center of the map. However, it won't be easy to find the cave in this environment."
He Yiming smiled and pointed to the right.
Yuan Lixun looked in the direction of his arm and saw that there was a stone wall in the valley at the end.
She looked in puzzlement, and after a while, her beautiful eyes lit up. She exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, I can see it."
At first glance, the stone wall did not look strange, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that the stone wall was extremely smooth, as if it had been touched by someone for a long time.
However, the difference was not obvious. If it was not for He Yiming's reminder, Yuan Lixun might not have been able to find the difference so easily in the huge valley.
Seeing the joy in Yuan Lixun's eyes, He Yiming was also delighted in his heart. The reason why he was able to identify it was entirely due to the effects of the Clairaudient Technique.
After the battle with Sima Yin, he had a new understanding of the power of wind, and all kinds of sounds became clearer when they entered his ears.
Behind the stone wall, there was clearly a huge hole.
Moreover, the stone wall was not completely sealed, and faint gusts of wind kept flowing through the gaps.
Under such circumstances, if He Yiming was still unable to discern the profoundness within, then his cultivation of the Clairaudient Technique would truly be in vain.
The two of them held hands and arrived in front of the stone wall. He Yiming took a serious look, then he suddenly chuckled and said, "Lu Xinwen once said that when he was exploring this cave, he encountered a mechanism that he could not crack. I'd like to see if this mechanism can stop me. "
His words were filled with confidence and heroism. He did not care about the mechanism in the cave from the bottom of his heart.
After all, He Yiming was now a terrifying powerhouse in One-Line-Heaven, and there was a world of difference between him and Lu Xinwen in the past. His confidence came from his own strength. He was confident that in front of him, there was no mechanism that could stop him.
Yuan Lixun looked at his proud eyes, and for some reason, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
Only a man who was filled with confidence like this was the most attractive to women. She quietly moved closer to He Yiming and could clearly feel the heat from his body. A blissful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
He Yiming stretched out his hands and placed them flat on the stone wall. His essential energy slowly entered the stone wall, and he could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
The stone wall looked very ordinary, and it was not much different from the surrounding stone walls. However, when he channeled his essential energy into it, he realized that it was not something ordinary stones could compare to.
"Young Master, what did you find?" Yuan Lixun tiptoed and looked behind He Yiming and asked, "Is it here?"
He Yiming chuckled and said, "It's definitely here. “
The stone in front of him had a strong ability to absorb essential energy. Although He Yiming was not sure about the origin of the stone, he knew that if he took it out, it would definitely be a good material to refine a Relic.
It was too wasteful and extravagant to use it as a tool to block the door.
The essential energy in his hands gradually increased, and the stone wall slowly moved in a fixed direction according to his will.
Yuan Lixun clenched her small hands. If it was in the past, she might not be so nervous. However, when she came here yesterday, He Yiming had already told her that there should be a Primordial Gold Core in this cave residence. Moreover, this Gold Core was a Water-type Primordial Gold Core that could be used by her.
If she wanted to advance to the Primordial Realm, she would have to draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into her body to remove the scars on her face. This was the only way now.
Therefore, when she saw that the cave residence's door was about to open, her heart was pounding like a deer's.
This kind of mood made it difficult for her to maintain her calmness in the past.
With a rumbling sound, the big stone was finally moved by He Yiming as he wished.
He shook his head slightly and said, "What a powerful guardian stone. The owner of this cave residence was able to find such a material. He's really an interesting person."
Yuan Lixun nodded and said with a smile, "Young Master, it's lucky that you're here. If it were a Houtian cultivator, I'm afraid that he might not be able to move it."
Indeed, in her opinion, if even He Yiming was so strenuous, then if a Houtian cultivator came, wouldn't he be helpless?
However, He Yiming waved his hand and patted the big stone gently, saying, "Lixun, this big stone is very strange. If it were a Xiantian Master, then it would be very strenuous to move this big stone, but if it were a Houtian cultivator, even if it's only a Level Nine cultivator, it might not be so strenuous."
Yuan Lixun's beautiful eyes widened. Her gaze lingered on the big stone for a moment. Such a strange thing was indeed unheard of. If it hadn't been He Yiming's words, she wouldn't have believed it at all.
Behind the big stone was a pitch-black cave without a trace of light. Looking from the outside, it was pitch-black. Gusts of cold wind blew out of the cave, making one's hair stand on end.
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun looked at each other. Although they knew that there couldn't be any great danger in this cave residence, they still felt somewhat uneasy.
Taking a slight breath, He Yiming circulated the internal Qi in his body. His body seemed to have completely stabilized in the next moment. He was like a towering mountain, with a feeling of indomitable spirit. Yuan Lixun subconsciously moved closer to him. Being with this man seemed to have become an indispensable part of her life.
He Yiming glanced at the big stone beside the cave one last time. Then, he withdrew his gaze and took Yuan Lixun's hand. The two entered the pitch-black cave one after the other.
The ground in the cave was unexpectedly flat. When their two feet stepped on it, it was as if they were stepping on the flattest road in the capital of Kairong. It was enough for a carriage to gallop quickly.
Yuan Lixun's small hand clenched slightly. The two of them understood that this place must have been artificially cleaned. It was just that it was done extremely well. If one didn't personally experience it, it would be difficult to find any clues.
Although the cave was dark, how could it be difficult for He Yiming at this moment? His eyes flashed with a faint light. His ears trembled slightly as he listened to the seemingly endless sounds coming from the wind.
In these sounds, there were many information that ordinary people couldn't imagine. They were all captured by him one by one.
He didn't even walk in and already knew that there was a corner not far ahead. This was the information brought to him by the sound of the wind.
If Shui Xuanjin knew that his clairaudience ability had reached such a level, he would definitely sigh and feel ashamed that he had a successor.
He Yiming grabbed Yuan Lixun's hand and exerted a little force. He Yiming immediately obtained the leadership position without any dispute.
"There's a corner in front. Be careful."
Yuan Lixun responded softly. She didn't ask how He Yiming found out. She just quietly followed behind him as if she could go on forever.
When they came to the end of this stretch of road and turned the corner, their eyes suddenly lit up.
On the stone wall far away from the corner, there was a small pearl that emitted a bright light. It provided light for the dark stone wall passage.
In fact, the pearl's light wasn't intense. It was only a faint halo.
However, in this pitch-black place, even this halo was enough to make one feel satisfied.
The two of them walked forward. After about ten steps, another pearl appeared on the stone wall above them. It emitted the same faint light.
From then on, there was a similar pearl every ten steps or so.
He Yiming and Shui Xuanjin looked at each other in surprise. Even in He Yiming's eyes, such a pearl was considered a rare treasure. However, there were at least ten of them in this passage. It was definitely a big deal.
Moreover, ever since they entered the tunnel, they had been moving forward nonstop.
Based on their current journey, they were probably deep into the mountain, but there seemed to be no end to the passage.
The deeper He Yiming and Shui Xuanjin went, the more shocked they were.
Building a passageway like this would not be much easier than building the entire Hengshan Mountain Range.
Who exactly was it? How much manpower and resources did it take to hollow out almost half of the mountain and build a passage like this?
He really didn't know how such a huge project could be completed, and how it could be covered up without anyone knowing about it.
All of this was like a mystery, making He Yiming's heart faintly uneasy.
Finally, the light in front of them suddenly lit up.
He Yiming and Shui Xuanjin looked at each other. They knew that they must have arrived at the cave residence.
The inside of the cave residence was indeed a different world. There was a huge crystal ball hanging above their heads. This huge unknown object emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire cave residence as if it was daytime.
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were tongue-tied as they looked at the huge crystal above their heads. Their hearts were filled with shock.
"Young Master, what is this?" Yuan Lixun murmured. She squinted her eyes slightly, as if she was stimulated by the strong light and could not open them completely.
This little bit of light naturally could not affect He Yiming at all. However, he raised his head and looked at the crystal above his head. He shook his head absentmindedly and said, "I don't know, but …" He paused and said in a tone that even he himself did not believe, "This thing has the smell of the sun."
Yuan Lixun was slightly startled, but she immediately understood. She lowered her head and said in surprise, "That's right, its light is actually as dazzling as the sun. Young Master, I've also read books about rare minerals in Heng Mountain, but I've never seen anything like this. "
He Yiming nodded slightly. The luminous pearls outside were precious, but they were not unique in this world.
However, the light emitted by the crystal hanging above their heads was not inferior to the noon sun at all.
Standing under the crystal, they could even feel the heatwave assaulting them.
If something like this was brought to the outside world, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
However, it wasn't just the books in Mount Heng's library that didn't mention it. Even the Medicine Daoist and Shui Xuanjin didn't mention it when they introduced the world's treasures. There was actually such an incredible treasure in the world.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through He Yiming's mind. 'Could it be that even the two old men have never heard of such a miraculous item?'
He Yiming took a deep look at the crystal that was as bright as the sun, then he heaved a long sigh. He lowered his head and carefully sized up the cave.
When He Yiming and Yuan Lixun first entered the cave, their attention was attracted by the strange crystal above their heads.
They could not be blamed for this. In fact, anyone who entered the cave would probably cast their gaze on the crystal at first glance.
It was already not easy for He Yiming and Shui Xuanjin to get rid of it so quickly.
There were a total of three passages in the cave. One of them was naturally where they entered, while the other two were on the left and right, respectively leading to unknown places.
What they wanted to explore was undoubtedly these two passageways.
After glancing at the two passages, He Yiming immediately pointed at one of them and said, "Lixun, this is the passage where Lu Xinwen usually stays. His Innate Gold Core must be hidden here. Let's go in."
Yuan Lixun was surprised and asked, "Young Master, how did you know?"
He Yiming chuckled and said, "You'll be able to sense it once you've advanced to the Innate Realm."
Yuan Lixun's face immediately revealed a look of eagerness. She gently nodded and solemnly said, "Young Master, I will work hard."
He Yiming glanced at her face that was covered by a veil. Although the scar was covered by the veil, it could not escape his eyes.
He sighed internally. If it was not for the scar, Yuan Lixun would not have been so concerned about it.
Could this be a blessing in disguise?
He Yiming nodded at her and led the way into the passage.
He knew there would not be any danger in the passage, or Lu Xinwen would not have kept it a secret before his death.
Even so, he was still cautious when he entered and dared not be careless at all.
The passage was not considered short, but it was not as exaggerated as the passage when they first entered.
It didn't take long for them to successfully enter this place.
It was still a cave that looked like a hall, but it was built in a square shape like an ordinary person's room.
The most eye-catching thing here was a giant stone cabinet that was placed in a corner of the cave.
Lu Xinwen and Ou Yangming looked at each other, then they went forward to open the stone cabinet.
Inside, there were some yellowish books and some unknown bottles and jars.
However, both of their gazes landed on an almost transparent crystal box at the same time.
Inside the box was a pure white pill without the slightest trace of impurities.
The pill seemed to have an inexplicable power, as if it had a powerful life.
He Yiming's face finally revealed a trace of a gratified smile. They had already found the biggest harvest of this trip!
