Since it was fate that brought them together, Gu Zheng didn't plan to let Huang Qi and Yang Jue use the cross-continent teleportation. However, they insisted on paying him back later, so Gu Zheng could only let them be.
Gu Zheng received a total of 50 blue immortal coins to treat Chen Jude's illness. After bidding for the five-colored deer meat and using the cross-continent teleportation, he almost used up all of these immortal coins.
However, Gu Zheng still had some immortal coins. Moreover, he had a lot of resources. Even if he lacked immortal coins, he could sell some of his resources.
After paying the cross-continent teleportation fee, Gu Zheng's group stood on the tall teleportation array.
The teleportation official struck a few spells at the array. The originally dim crystals and runes on the array instantly lit up. In the blinding light, Gu Zheng's group disappeared.
A moment later.
A tall man with a purple face entered the teleportation pavilion that Gu Zheng's group had just left. This person was the owner of the two heavenly blue jade carvings.
"Fellow Daoist, I would like to ask, where did those three people go?"
The purple-faced man cupped his fist at the teleportation official.
The teleporter belonged to the largest immortal cultivator sect in Yellowstone County. His cultivation base was already at the late stage of Golden Immortal Realm. Facing the purple-faced man's fist salute, his originally closed eyes only opened a slit.
"According to the rules, where the guests use the teleportation array to go is a secret." The teleportation official said.
The purple-faced man didn't beat around the bush and took out a small brocade box. "Here are 10 blue immortal coins. As long as Fellow Daoist teleports me to where they went, these 10 blue immortal coins will be yours. As for the teleportation fee, I will pay for it."
The teleportation official's squinted eyes opened. With a flash of light, he knew what was in the brocade box.
After accepting the brocade box, the teleportation official said, "They went to the Fanyu State of Aparagodānīya."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
The purple-faced man took out 5 blue immortal coins to pay the teleportation fee. Then he stood on the teleportation array and quickly disappeared from the teleportation pavilion.
A moment later, two more people came to the teleportation pavilion. These two were the thin old man and Lu Piaoxiang who had caused a ruckus at the auction.
"Fanyu Prefecture of Aparagodānīya State."
The skinny old man gave the teleportation officer 10 blue immortal coins and brought Lu Piao Xiang to the teleportation immortal array to Aparagodaniya State.
After the skinny old man and Lu Piao Xiang left, the teleportation officer took out a jade tablet and struck it with a few seals. The jade tablet suddenly shined brightly.
The immortal power on his fingertips was like a brush. The messenger wrote something on the jade token.
Meanwhile.
In the hall of the Chen family in Luxia Town, there were more than a dozen Immortal Cultivators, male and female, old and young. However, there were only three Immortal Cultivators from the Chen family. The rest were from the Heaven Music Sect, which was the Chen family's backer.
Suddenly, an old man from the Heavenly Music Sect frowned and took out a jade token from his bosom.
"There's news from Huangshi County. Feng Weikong brought Lu Piao Xiang to the Aparagodaniya Continent using the Cross-Continent Teleportation Array." The old man from the Heavenly Music Sect said.
"Lu Piaoxiang? That damned woman, I've long felt that he had some sort of relationship with Feng Weikong. "One of the Chen Clan's Immortal Cultivators gritted his teeth.
"If you knew, why didn't you say anything? Since you didn't say anything, what's the point of saying it now? "Chen Jude glared at his clansmen.
"Alright, unless we go to Huangshi County now, Feng Weikong has caused trouble at your Chen family's auction twice. This time, he even snatched the auction item and left. Not only did he not give face to your Chen family, he also did not give face to our Heavenly Music Sect! I wasn't here before, but since I'm here now, I must kill him in the Aparagodaniya Continent to shake the reputation of our Heavenly Music Sect! "
The old man in hemp clothes who was the leader of the Heavenly Music Sect said coldly. He was the leader of the Heavenly Music Sect and also a Grand Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Music Sect. His name was Lu Feifan.
"Grand Supreme Elder, does our Chen family need to send people?" Chen Jude asked.
"There's no need for that. Killing Feng Weikong is already too much for us."
Lu Feifan waved his hand and the people from the Heavenly Music Sect followed him out of the Chen family. After leaving Luxia Town, they flew straight to Huangshi County.
Sunset Mountain was located in Fanyu County of the Aparagodaniya Continent.
As Feng Weikong could hear the movements through the Immortal Array, he inadvertently heard the conversation between Gu Zheng and Huang Qi. From there, he found out about the secret of the treasure.
Later on, although Feng Weikong caused a ruckus at the auction and left midway, the restriction he left in the auction was still in effect. He could still hear every word of Gu Zheng's conversation.
After knowing the secret of the treasure, as well as the location of the treasure, Feng Weikong brought Lu Piaoxiang and followed far behind Gu Zheng and the others. They also arrived at the Fanyu County.
At this moment, in the Skygazing Restaurant in Fanyu County, Feng Weikong was drinking leisurely. Opposite him sat Lu Piaoxiang, who looked anxious.
"Uncle Kong, we were originally a little later than Fellow Daoist Bai and the rest. Now that we've reached Fanyu County, why are you eating and drinking again? Are you really that greedy? On the way, I even took the time to cook a delicious meal for you! "Lu Piaoxiang said helplessly.
"In any case, we know that they're going to Sunset Mountain, so why should we follow them? Besides, I came here to eat and drink because I wanted to see how the cooking skills of the Skygazing Restaurant's Immortal Chef compare to yours! Don't mention the delicious meal you cooked for me on the way. I don't know what you were thinking, but in the end, the food you cooked was below standard. Bad review! "
Facing Feng Weikong's dissatisfied gaze, Lu Piaoxiang smiled embarrassedly. "Aren't we just thinking about finding the treasure as soon as possible! Uncle Kong, although we know that the treasure is in Sunset Mountain, Sunset Mountain is the name of a mountain range. If we don't follow them, we'll have to waste time to find it! "
"Are you really just thinking about the treasure?" Feng Weikong smiled meaningfully.
"Uncle Kong!"
Lu Piaoxiang shouted helplessly. Then, he said, "If we're not thinking about the treasure, could it be that we're thinking about Fellow Daoist Bai? We've only met a few times. Moreover, he doesn't have any interest in me! "
"That's true."
Feng Weikong drank a mouthful of wine and said, "Even if we don't follow that surnamed Bai, we'll definitely be able to find it. For a treasure of that scale, it'll cause a huge commotion before it appears. Don't worry!"
Hearing Feng Weikong's words, Lu Piaoxiang didn't say anything else. He picked up a cup of wine and slowly drank it. No one knew what he was thinking.
The Sunset Mountain Range was very large. When Gu Zheng's group flew from Fanyu County to Sunset Mountain, it took them four days to reach the location of the Quasi-Sage's treasure.
In front of them was a huge valley. It seemed like there was nothing there, but when they tried to use Earth Escape Technique to go deeper, they discovered that there were restrictions placed underground. Earth Escape Technique was completely useless here.
Gu Zheng's group moved separately. They had already investigated the valley's surroundings. After a while, Yang Jue seemed to be somewhat excited when they met again.
"Fellow Daoists, I have some understanding of the treasure's restrictions. Although the three of us can't break it ahead of time, I can set up a large formation to hide the commotion caused when the restrictions automatically break!"
Yang Jue's meaning was clear. The appearance of the treasure would cause a huge commotion that would attract many people's attention. One more person would mean one more share of the loot. Naturally, the fewer people there were, the better.
"How are you going to set up this formation?" Huang Qi hastily asked.
"This formation is called 'Divine Concealment'. It requires some resources to set it up! Fortunately, I have the main resources needed to set up this formation. As for the rest, we can go back to Fanyu County to purchase them. The price shouldn't be too expensive. "Yang Jue said.
"No need to trouble yourself. I know about the Divine Concealment Formation. Although this formation isn't ordinary, the treasure here was set up by a Quasi-Sage. Even if the Divine Concealment Formation can hide the fluctuations before it appears, it will still be able to deceive many people. However, when the treasure truly appears, the powerful fluctuations will definitely destroy the Great Concealment Formation. At that time, there will still be many people who will know about it. You just entered the treasure trove a little earlier than the people who came later. Although you guys are the first to enter and have a higher chance of obtaining the treasure than others, you still have to face the danger first! Since that's the case, I think it's better to let nature take its course. Think about the Floating Island on Earth. For a treasure like this, entering first doesn't mean you'll have the last laugh. "
The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
Gu Zheng agreed with the Artifact Spirit's opinion, but when he told Huang Qi and Yang Jue about it, they agreed that it was better to enter as soon as possible.
As a group, unity was the most important thing. Since Huang Qi and Yang Jue both agreed that it was better to enter as soon as possible, Gu Zheng did not say anything more. After all, strength was the most important thing, regardless of whether they entered first or later! Therefore, Gu Zheng followed Huang Qi and Yang Jue back to Fanyu County.
After Gu Zheng and the others returned, they immediately went to the place where resources were sold.
The place where resources were sold was called the Resource Building. Every county in the Wilderness had one. Not only did it sell resources, but it also bought all kinds of resources.
Yang Jue already had the main resources needed to set up the Divine Concealment Formation. As for the ones he lacked, the Resource Building had them as well. Moreover, the prices weren't very high. Gu Zheng knew that Huang Qi and Yang Jue didn't have much money to spare, so he took the initiative to cover the cost.
After buying the necessary resources, Gu Zheng and Huang Qi immediately returned to the Sunset Mountain Range. The time they had wasted on the way back meant that there were only five days left before the treasure appeared.
According to the investigation of the treasure's restrictions, there would be fluctuations three days before the treasure appeared. Setting up the Divine Concealment Formation would take two days. This was already very tight.
With Huang Qi and Gu Zheng's help, Yang Jue immediately began setting up the Divine Concealment Formation. Fortunately, the process of setting up the Spirit Concealment Grand Array went smoothly. Yang Jue set up the Spirit Concealment Grand Array in two days.
"Whew …"
Yang Jue couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the formation.
At this moment, the original valley no longer existed in the eyes of outsiders. It was just a part of the continuous mountain range. Even if the cultivation of the Golden Celestial Stage was used to investigate, he wouldn't find anything strange, let alone if a cultivator flew over from the sky and just glanced at it in passing.
"I hope no Jin Xian level cultivators come in the next few days. If they investigate closely, they'll be able to discover that someone has tampered with this place and arouse suspicion. This is one of the drawbacks of the Divine Concealment Formation." Yang Jue said.
"What if a Jin Xian level cultivator really does come?" Huang Qi asked.
"A cultivator really does come? Then we'll kill him to prevent rumors from spreading. This time, we must be the first to enter the treasure! "Yang Jue said ruthlessly.
Although killing for various reasons was common in the wilderness, according to Gu Zheng's understanding of Yang Jue and Huang Qi, the two were more inclined towards cultivation. They weren't interested in killing for treasure.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, don't you think I've gone too far?" Yang Jue smiled wryly at Gu Zheng.
"No, your thoughts are normal. If we accidentally entered a treasure trove, I'm afraid they'd do the same to us." Gu Zheng smiled.
"It's good that you understand. I was worried what you'd think of me." Yang Jue smiled wryly again.
"Don't worry, we're a team." Gu Zheng patted Yang Jue's shoulder.
"Then from now on, we'll patrol a certain area. If we find anything suspicious, we'll report it to each other. "Yang Jue asked Gu Zheng.
"Alright."
Gu Zheng nodded. Then, the three of them split up and began patrolling.
"Your two fellow daoists seem to place great importance on this treasure trove!" The artifact spirit smiled.
"That's right! They're different from me. Their lives are very tight. They're counting on this treasure trove to provide them with resources that they won't have to struggle for many years to come. "
Gu Zheng was deeply moved. Life was filled with all kinds of situations. Whether it was the cultivation world or the secular world, they were all the same.
Far away from Gu Zheng's group, the purple-faced man who sold the two celestial jade carvings was looking at a mirror in his hand.
The mirror in his hand was an immortal artifact. Several specks of light were moving back and forth on the surface of the mirror.
"What are they doing?"
The purple-faced man looked suspiciously at the specks of light that represented Gu Zheng's group. He didn't choose to recklessly approach them.
"The treasure trove's appearance will cause a huge commotion. For now, I'll let you guys get busy."
The purple-faced man flew to a large tree, lay down, and closed his eyes to sleep.
The fluctuations from the treasure were all absorbed by the Divine Concealment Array. Not a single bit of it leaked out. Gu Zheng and the others spent the next two days peacefully.
During these two days, a total of ten cultivators flew over the nearby area. However, they were all in a hurry and didn't stop at all.
The third day after the formation was set up was the day the treasure trove was about to appear.
"According to my calculations, the treasure trove will appear at dusk. I hope no one comes during this time."
Yang Jue made a wish while looking at the morning sun.
However, reality was sometimes contrary to one's wishes. Half past five in the morning, a monk flew towards the valley.
The direction the monk was flying towards was Yang Jue's patrol area. Yang Jue immediately flew forward to stop the monk.
"Great Master, where are you going?"
Seeing that he was stopped, the fat monk frowned. "Where this poor monk wants to go doesn't seem to have anything to do with Benefactor, right? Benefactor, why are you blocking this poor monk's path? What are you trying to do? "
"Of course I have my reasons for stopping you. My dao friend is about to break through and it's a taboo to be disturbed."
Yang Jue lied. He didn't want to fight unless it was absolutely necessary. Plus, this was a monk and the entire Aparagodānīya was his territory.
"Benefactor, don't worry, I'm only going down to pick some herbs. I won't disturb your dao friend's breakthrough. Please let me pass." The monk slowly said.
Yang Jue's brows furrowed as well. He heard that someone else's fellow daoist was about to break through, but this monk insisted on going down. How unreasonable!
"Great Master, you can't go down. If you really want to go down, you'll have to go through me first!" Yang Jue's tone turned cold.
"Hehe."
The monk laughed strangely. "I've been here countless times and know that there's a valley here. But now, it's become a mountain and you're blocking my path. There must be something strange down there. Benefactor, you don't know where this place is right? This is Fanyu Prefecture and I'm a monk of Sangharama Temple! "
Although Yang Jue didn't know how powerful Sangharama Temple was, the fact that the monk had mentioned it at this time meant that the temple's influence in Sangharama Prefecture was not small. Even so, Yang Jue wanted to kill him.
"You dare try to kill this poor monk?!"
The monk seemed to see through Yang Jue and his eyes widened in shock.
"Since Great Master won't give me face, I'll have to send you to see Buddha!"
As he spoke, Yang Jue raised his palm and struck at the monk. The energy of heaven and earth surged, sealing off all paths of retreat.
"Roar!"
Tyrant roared. His monk robe fluttered in the wind. Yang Jue's heaven and earth energy was suppressing him, and his golden palm slashed towards Yang Jue's palm wind.
"Boom!"
Not only did the monk's attack break through Yang Jue's attack, it didn't slow down in the slightest. At the same time, an alms bowl flew out from the monk's back and grew to the size of a small mountain, crashing down on Yang Jue.
"Boom!"
Whether it was the monk's palm wind or the mountain-sized alms bowl, they were all sent flying back when the token flashed in Yang Jue's hand.
At the same time.
A beam of sword light slashed at the monk's back. Sensing something amiss, Huang Qi had concealed himself and slashed at the monk's back.
"Ah!"
The monk screamed. Though he'd dodged in time, Huang Qi's attack had left a gaping wound on his back.
"Exorcise demons!"
The monk formed a seal with both hands and the blood spilling from his back transformed into ten one-meter tall monks. They raised crimson prayer beads and attacked Yang Jue and Huang Qi. At the same time, the monk, who knew that he was no match for the monk, took advantage of the attack from the blood-red novice monk and instantly fled into the distance.
"Ah!"
The fleeing monk let out another blood-curdling scream. A black light flashed on his shoulder and he fell to the ground from the left.
However, the monk didn't slow down after losing an arm. Instead, he seemed to have been boosted and disappeared without a trace.
