When the night wind blew, Myriad Poisons Devil and Spirit Medicine Ancestor woke up from their meditative states. Everyone gathered together to discuss their next course of action.
As a late addition, Yi Tian did not have the right to interrupt. He only listened quietly by the side and did not express any opinions. Instead, Lu Linsheng and Mi Jie seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. After discussing with Vulture, they decided that Myriad Poison Demon and Yi Tian would walk in front.
Myriad Poison Demon would be in charge of opening the path. If they encountered any array obstacles, Yi Tian would take care of them. Vulture would be in the middle, while Huo Qing and Lu Linsheng would support them from behind.
Although he felt like he was being used as a tool, Yi Tian did not care. After all, they still needed to cooperate sincerely.
After planning, the five of them began to take action. Myriad Poison Demon visited the entrance to the hidden treasure trove. It seemed to be in the belly of the mountain behind the Immortal Jade Sect. That was where the two spirit veins intersected.
After walking into the mountain, Yi Tian could clearly feel waves of bone-chilling Spirit Qi seeping out from the spirit veins. Walking on the ground, he could clearly feel that the surface temperature was much lower than it was during the day.
This was not a natural phenomenon. The five of them walked along the mountain path and passed through the Immortal Jade Sect ruins before arriving at the spirit veins' intersection.
The spirit veins under the mountain seemed to have been artificially excavated. After walking into the cave in the belly of the mountain, everyone held up their luminous pearls to illuminate the path ahead. Yi Tian realized that he was surrounded by a thirty feet wide cave. The deeper he went, the colder the ground became. This did not feel like the normal Spirit Qi of the cold attribute. Instead, it felt like there was a different kind of Spirit Qi mixed in with normal Spirit Qi.
When the five of them reached the bottom of the cave, they saw a stone door in front of them. It looked like there was a cave within the cave. The door was engraved with the unique symbol of the Li Fire Sect. This made Yi Tian's eyes light up. Looking at the position of the stone door, even a Yuanying cultivator would have to spend some effort to reach the bottom. The original Jin Dan cultivators of the Immortal Jade Sect would definitely not be able to reach this place.
Sitting on a treasure mountain but not being able to do so was the work of fate. He reckoned that the Immortal Jade Sect was also a sect that did not have much luck and could only move hastily in the end.
After many thoughts flashed through his mind, Yi Tian saw the vulture walk forward and take out a flame-shaped accessory from its feathers. It then embedded it in the middle of the stone door.
After ten breaths of time, the cave shook as if the earth was quaking and the mountains were swaying. Afterwards, the Spiritual Light Mountain on the stone door shook a few times before Vulture pushed open the thousand-pound stone door.
Immediately after, a burst of foul air came out of it, and it only dissipated after a while. The five of them looked at each other and walked down according to the arrangement.
After stepping through the stone door, Yi Tian found that the passageways on both sides seemed to be much smaller, but it was obvious that someone had repaired them. There were some words carved on the wall, but the Myriad Poisons Devil Man couldn't recognize them after looking at them for a long time. He turned to Lu Linsheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, do you recognize these words?"
Lu Linsheng shook his head and replied, "I'm inexperienced and can't recognize them."
Vulture, who was walking in the middle, coldly snorted and said, "These are Fey race words. It would be strange if you could recognize them."
Mi Jie smiled and said, "Then, we'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Vulture to dispel our doubts."
Vulture cleared its throat and said, "These words record that this is a secret trove of the Li Fire Sect in the southern borders. It was built three thousand years ago during the glorious era. Back then, the Li Fire Sect's Patriarch knew that the sect was suppressing the Tian Lan continent, so he was afraid that there would be no one to carry on the sect's decline. Therefore, he built this secret trove and placed a portion of the resources inside, so that the sect's disciples could use them in times of emergency. "
After the four of them heard this, they sighed. However, only the heavens knew if it was believable. Instead, Yi Tian sized up Vulture with interest. He never expected that there would be a Fey beast that was proficient in writing. Previously, in his conversation with the Beast Spirit Elder, he had mentioned that Fey beast heritage mostly relied on blood. It seemed like this expedition was getting more and more interesting.
Following that, to everyone's surprise, Yi Tian took out a jade scroll and recorded the engravings on the surrounding walls. Suddenly, a sense of unease surged in his heart. However, it was fleeting. Yi Tian only smiled and pretended that nothing had happened as he continued recording. In less than fifteen minutes, the five of them continued exploring.
After the brief interlude, everyone's actions became more cautious. Although this was a secret trove left behind by the Li Fire Sect in the southern borders, they were still exploring the passageway. They did not know if there were any trials or traps in this secret trove.
These large sects would definitely not allow their juniors to obtain the treasures so easily. There would definitely be a series of tests in the future.
Sure enough, after walking for about two hours, the five of them came to a stone chamber about a hundred feet wide. In the middle of it, there was a table with eight keys placed on top of it. Behind them were eight doors.
Upon seeing this, everyone knew that it was up to their luck. Clearly, the test on the table was for them to choose a key to pass through the stone door in front of them before they could proceed to the next level.
The array from three thousand years ago did not seem to have changed much from the present. The eight doors were still engraved with Eight Trigrams symbols. Yi Tian felt a burning sensation in his heart. He wanted to test the difference between the array from three thousand years ago and the present.
After the five of them stood there for a while, Lu Linsheng was the first to go forward and pick a 'Li' key. Then, he walked forward to open the door behind him and entered.
After his figure completely disappeared, the stone door automatically closed. Following that, the entire stone door disappeared into the wall, leaving the bare stone wall outside.
The second person to go forward was Vulture. Without a second thought, he casually picked a key and left. Upon seeing this, Mi Jie and Huo Qing also did not hesitate to go forward. Since Lu Linsheng had taken the initiative, the two of them did not want to be outdone. After informing each other, they each randomly picked a key and found the corresponding door to enter.
After the four of them left, Yi Tian was the only one left in the hall. He was not in a hurry to pick a key to enter. Thinking back, there were many suspicious points in this matter. He originally thought that Lu Linsheng had found some clues to the sect's hidden treasure, so he followed him.
But he never expected that the one who took the lead was the Fey race's transformed Fey beast, Vulture. Although it was only his side of the story, he had taken out a key, so he believed him.
But this Vulture always gave him a strange feeling. Yes, it was an indescribable strange feeling. Yi Tian recalled that he had once seen Vulture through his perception. Back then, he had clearly used a spell to hide his face, so he did not manage to see him clearly.
But this time was different. He had already noticed a problem when he first came here seven days ago. The Li Fire Sect's direct disciples had spells that cultivated their perception. At the same time, it also strengthened their soul. Furthermore, he had also cultivated the Asura Body Transformation Technique's Perception. At the same time, his soul's strength had also been strengthened.
Normally, he would be able to tell if there was something special about a person just by looking at their Soul. In fact, he hadn't found anything special about Hu Chi and Yan Ling. However, he clearly felt that something was off about this vulture.
