What appeared in front of Yang Xuan was a huge cave. The roof of the cave was like an upside-down bowl. It was not very flat. Something was inlaid on the roof and the surrounding walls like stars, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire cave that was half the size of a football field as if it was daytime.
In Yang Xuan's line of sight, there was a flat and smooth ground without anything. There was only a stone platform in the middle of the cave, about the size of a basketball court. On the stone platform, there were eight black coffins. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Yang Xuan's breathing was slightly hurried because he had already seen and sensed the spirit stones.
Yes, spirit stones.
Just under the eight coffins, on the black stone, there was a layer of spirit stones.
Yang Xuan flew and instantly arrived between the coffins. Under his feet were the spirit stones that he had been looking for.
This piece of spirit stones was placed next to the coffins. It seemed that someone deliberately placed it here for some unknown purpose.
Reaching out and picking up a piece of spirit stone, the surging spirit energy entered his body. A smile also appeared on Yang Xuan's face. The spirit stones here were of better quality than the spirit stones he got from the Yang family that day, and the spirit energy in them was more abundant.
However, immediately after, doubts arose in his heart. The spirit stones here were obviously deliberately placed here by someone for some unknown purpose. They were not naturally formed. In other words, this forbidden area of the Giant Spirit Sect was not the spirit stone vein he was looking for.
Moreover, judging from the dust on the stone platform, these spirit stones should have been placed here for quite a long time.
So, who brought these spirit stones and where did they come from? Where was the real Spirit Stone Lode?
If all the spirit energy contained in these spirit stones were absorbed by Yang Xuan, it would not be enough to make his cultivation increase significantly.
While thinking about these questions, he was about to put the spirit stones on the ground into the storage ring.
"Young man, you can't take these stones." A voice suddenly sounded in the huge space.
Yang Xuan was shocked. Under the surge of spirit energy in his body, he had already turned around abruptly. A golden light appeared beside him in an instant, ready to go.
But in the next moment, the person who appeared in his line of sight made him almost unable to believe his eyes.
He wore hemp clothes and hemp shoes, and there was a tattered hatchet hanging from his waist. His beard almost reached his chest.
It turned out to be the old man he met in the Giant Spirit Sect who couldn't carry a bundle of firewood.
The old man slowly walked over and stood under the stone platform. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, young man. This old man has no ill intentions. It's just that you really can't take these stones away."
"Who the hell are you?" Yang Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke word by word.
The old man smiled. A few of his front teeth were missing from his open mouth, so he spoke with a lisp. "Me? I'm just a woodcutter from the Giant Spirit Mountain. "
A woodcutter from the Giant Spirit Mountain?
Yang Xuan dispersed the golden moon around him. He could sense that the woodcutter in front of him was still a mortal with a weak Qi and blood.
But how could an ordinary woodcutter appear here?
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Where did Bandit Commander go?"
The old man didn't deny it and shook his head. "It's not suitable for him to appear here. But don't worry, I just sent him back to prison."
Yang Xuan fell silent. To be able to steal a living person right under his nose in the blink of an eye, and even release him back to prison in such a short period of time, without mentioning anything else, just this level of cultivation alone was enough to make him feel apprehensive.
A human dao expert.
Other than a human dao expert, he really couldn't think of any other cultivator who could do this without making a sound. Even Wu Dao couldn't do it.
And a human dao expert from the Giant Spirit Sect …
Yang Xuan wasn't stupid. The old man's identity was already obvious.
With this thought in mind, Yang Xuan took in a deep breath and did his best to calm his emotions. Walking down from the stone platform, he respectfully cupped his fists towards the old man and said, "Greetings, senior."
The woodcutter smiled and waved his hand. "How am I a senior? I'm just a woodcutter. But my question is, what do you want these stones for? "
As he said this, he walked over and picked up a piece. He looked left and right, his eyes filled with confusion.
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Senior, I want to know where these stones come from."
This was a question he urgently needed to understand. If he could know the specific source of the spirit stones, he could choose not to take the spirit stones from the forbidden area.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he had been caught red-handed in the forbidden area. As the saying goes, catch a thief with the stolen goods. He was now caught with the stolen goods.
The woodcutter sighed. "From the moment you wanted to save Bandit Commander, I wanted to see what you were looking for. I didn't expect it to be this stone."
He continued with a smile. "If I didn't put the key there, do you think that little girl Qing Qing could steal it?"
Yang Xuan was stunned and then came to a realization.
He originally thought that Meng Xingping was secretly helping him. He didn't expect it to be this woodcutter.
Thinking of this, doubts arose in his heart. "Senior, save Bandit Commander …?"
The old man nodded and said, "Although the Giant Spirit Sect isn't a large sect, it's not a place where others can come and go as they wish. I just wanted to see what you wanted to do."
Yang Xuan was speechless. Even with his old face, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment. When he thought about how his actions were all under the noses of others, it was simply too shameful.
He always felt that entering the forbidden area this time was too easy. Now it seemed that it was all arranged by this woodcutter.
The woodcutter looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Now, can you tell me what you want this stone for?"
Yang Xuan was silent for a moment. It was obviously impossible for him to tell the true use of the spirit stones. However, if he made up a lie on the spot, others weren't fools.
After thinking for a long time, he really had no choice but to say, "Senior, this kind of stone is very important to me, but it has no use for others or your sect."
The woodcutter said, "Who said it has no use? When I die, I still want to rely on these stones to ensure that my body won't rot. If you take these stones away, not only will I have no suitable grave in the future, even the body of the Giant Spirit Sect's ancestor who is sleeping here will probably rot in less than two or three days."
Yang Xuan was taken aback. Can spirit stones guarantee that the body won't rot? He didn't know about this.
However, it wasn't surprising when he thought about it. Spirit energy had various wonderful uses. It wasn't that strange to ensure that the body wouldn't rot. His wood attribute spirit energy could do it.
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan helplessly cupped his hands at the woodcutter and said, "Senior, can you tell me where these stones came from?"
The old man looked at him and shook his head slightly. "These stones have been here since the second generation of the Giant Spirit Sect. If you want to ask, ask the first generation of the Giant Spirit Sect."
With that, his finger moved slightly and pointed to the coffin in the middle.
Yang Xuan was speechless. If the dead could speak and the woodcutter didn't object, he would definitely open the coffin and ask.
"Since you don't want to tell me, then forget it. However, you can't take this stone away. At most, I'll let you take a few pieces." The old woodcutter smiled as he spoke, as if he was trying to bargain for a better price.
Yang Xuan didn't refuse. With a wave of his hand, ten spirit stones entered his storage ring.
The woodcutter frowned and seemed to be a little distressed, but he didn't say anything.
Yang Xuan cupped his fists to express his gratitude.
"Ten stones, I'll give you one hundred Heaven Reversal Pills. What do you think?"
The old man suddenly said. His voice wasn't loud and there was a smile on his face. However, no matter how Yang Xuan looked at it, he felt that the old man was smiling like a fox.
