The place mentioned by the old man may be very far for him, but with Ning Qi leading him, it only took about half an hour to arrive.
It was like an ancient primeval forest, with no path for mortals. It was full of danger, and occasionally there were monsters. Ordinary cultivators would not easily set foot here, let alone mortals.
"Senior, it's here."
The old man brought Ning Qi to a stone wall. The stone wall was covered with moss, and some small streams of water flowed down from above.
"This used to be a waterfall."
The old man sighed softly, "As a result, a few years ago, two seniors fought here and directly cut off the water above, causing the water to change course."
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with spiritual energy. With the level of his Celestial Pupils, he could only see a faint trace of black spiritual energy on the stone wall. This meant that the old man had either lied to him, or the Mysterious Corpse Sect had set up a special restrictive spell to completely conceal the aura of the bronze-armored corpse.
"Open the door."
Ning Qi smiled lightly.
The old man's face showed a hint of hesitation, then he said embarrassedly, "Senior, after refining the bronze-armored corpse, you must let me live."
"If you say a few more words, there will be no way out."
Ning Qi said lightly.
The old man was slightly startled, then he hurriedly came to the stone wall and performed some kind of secret technique. Not long after, the stone wall flashed brilliantly, and a black mist emerged, turning into a door.
"Senior, this door has been opened."
The old man cupped his fists.
"This door is a bit unique."
Ning Qi saw that after the old man performed the secret technique, the black spiritual energy here suddenly surged like a wave, and its aura was countless times stronger than before. It could be seen that there was indeed some kind of restrictive spell set up here.
"You go in first."
Ning Qi smiled lightly.
The old man was startled, then he smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll explore the way for Senior."
With that, he slowly walked into the gate formed by the thick black fog. At that moment, a hint of cold mockery flashed in the old man's eyes. He turned around and glanced at Ning Qi.
"Even if you're as cunning as a fox, you still have to drink the water I wash my feet with. This place has been laid down by several generations of Sect Masters of my Mysterious Corpse Sect. Even if the Golden Body Ancestor came, he might not be able to easily break through. You, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, can just stand at the door and stare!"
After mocking him, his figure immediately disappeared into the black door. The black fog also dispersed, and the cliff returned to its original appearance.
After several breaths of silence, Ning Qi suddenly smiled. Then, he raised his fist and smashed it against the cliff.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a black fog suddenly appeared on the cliff and dissolved most of the power in Ning Qi's punch.
Inside the cliff.
It was like a palace. After hearing the loud noise outside, the old man couldn't help but let out a strange laugh and said, "Are you angry out of shame? Hehe, since you ruined my Corpse Nurturing Technique, I'll play with you for a bit. So what if you're at the Foundation Establishment Stage? Don't you still have to stand here and stare? "
Then, ignoring the loud noise outside, he walked to the end of the corridor and came to another stone room. In this stone room, there were two bronze coffins.
Lying inside were the bronze-armored corpses left behind by the ancestors of the Mysterious Corpse Sect. The strange thing was that there were some markings next to the coffins, as if there had been many coffins here before, but now there were only two.
"What a pity. If I were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I could use the bronze-armored corpses and have the status of a Golden Core Ancestor. Sigh."
The old man sighed softly, then glanced back and forth between the two bronze coffins. Finally, he chose one. "You. When I leave this place, I'll sell you. I don't believe that I won't have the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime.
Back then, you said that my aptitude was poor and directly refused me outside the sect. Fortunately, your Mysterious Corpse Sect was immediately exterminated. Hehe, no matter how poor my aptitude was, didn't I still obtain all of your Mysterious Corpse Sect's inheritance? "
The loud noises outside were still going on.
The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly. "You're really persistent. What a joke. I'll stay here for a year and a half. Let's see if you still have this kind of patience!"
Not long after, he suddenly realized that the loud noise was getting louder and louder. The ground also began to gradually shake. Even the ceiling had sand and stones falling.
"What's going on?"
The old man's face revealed a look of shock. He hurriedly ran into the passageway and stared ahead.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The loud noise still continued.
The old man's face suddenly seeped with beads of cold sweat. He reached out to wipe the sweat away and muttered to himself as if comforting himself, "Impossible.
Unless it's a Golden Core, how could they break through the restrictive spell here? The Mysterious Corpse Sect was, after all, a first-rate sect in the Northern Frontier. A place like this definitely wouldn't be broken by a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator using brute force. Yes, it definitely wouldn't be like this! "
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared on the wall.
Before the old man could react, there was a bang. Gravel flew everywhere. Sunlight shone in from the outside and immediately swept away the Yin Qi inside.
The old man stared at Ning Qi dumbfounded. His eyes almost widened to the limit.
"The restrictive spell here is indeed very powerful. If you're not a Golden Core cultivator, you really can't break in."
Ning Qi smiled at the old man.
Gold, Golden Core cultivator?
The old man looked at Ning Qi and stammered, "You, you're a Golden Core Ancestor?"
"Otherwise?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Then why did you tell me that you're just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
The old man took a deep breath.
"When did I say that to you?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"…"
The old man carefully recalled the details and his face became extremely dull.
The other party really didn't say that. Everything was wishful thinking, thinking that the other party was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
"Damn it! If I knew he was a Golden Core cultivator, why would I play such a trick! "
The old man wished he could give himself two big slaps on the face.
"When you just came in, I didn't hear what you said to me clearly. Why don't you repeat it?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Senior, it's a misunderstanding. I just came in to clean up. After all, no one has set foot in this place for many years. It's full of dust and not enough to receive you."
The old man hurriedly said.
"That's not what you just said.
I remember you said you wanted me to drink your foot-washing water and stare outside? "
Ning Qi smiled.
Plop!
The old man fell to his knees on the spot. "Senior, please forgive me. I can take you to see the bronze-armored corpse. When you refine them, your strength will definitely increase. Who can compete with you without a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"Since I've come in, I naturally know where the bronze-armored corpse is. Its aura is so obvious. Do you really think the Celestial Pupil technique is just a decoration?
So, what use do I have for you? "
Ning Qi smiled.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the old man's body was hit hard against the stone wall. He had already suffered a serious injury before, and this time, he was completely silent.
