The black turtle was originally an ice-attribute monster, and although the Ice Soul Poison is fierce, it is ultimately transformed from cold air. Devouring it is like a great tonic spiritual medicine for the black turtle.
Zhang Ling then put the black turtle into the Two-Worlds Calabash, and also went to the medicine field to collect all the spiritual herbs planted inside into a storage bag, then meditated for a while to recover the previous consumption.
Soon after, he left this temporary cave dwelling where he had stayed for more than a year. Taking Ye Chenming, he began to look for the Ye family's treasure trove.
After all, there were other people who knew the location of the treasure trove, so he acted immediately to avoid being preempted by others.
At the same time, in the sky tens of thousands of miles away, a faint black light cluster was flying quickly. This light cluster appeared faintly in the clouds, and it would not be noticed unless you looked carefully.
"How long until the treasure trove you mentioned?"
A hoarse voice came from within the light cluster. If someone could probe into it, they would find three figures hidden inside: a young man and two middle-aged cultivators.
The speaker was a middle-aged cultivator wearing a red robe. This person's face was covered with black air, making his complexion dark and somewhat ferocious, but his aura was extremely strong, and he was also a Nascent Soul old monster.
He looked at another yellow-shirted scholar next to him and asked impatiently.
"Uh, Senior Black Wind, we are almost there. We have already flown more than halfway. With your powerful escape speed, senior, we will be able to reach the treasure trove location in another day," the scholar said with a flattering expression.
But he sighed inwardly. Being with an old monster at the Nascent Soul level always gave him a feeling of trepidation.
This old monster called himself Black Wind Hermit, and seemed to be a rogue cultivator. If it weren't for the heavy treasure left by their ancestor, he wouldn't have given them a good look. Destroying their Ye family would be an easy task.
Originally, after he solved another Golden Core stage elder, he was securely seated as the head of the Ye family. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Black Wind Hermit suddenly came to visit the ancestor.
Although the Ye family's power has shrunk a lot during this period, it can still control Dafeng City. And the news of the ancestor's death was only known to two or three core elders.
Even if the family has changed during this period, this matter has not been leaked. Because the Ye family elders all know that once this matter is leaked, it will attract even greater trouble.
Black Wind Hermit didn't know if he had heard any news, but his sudden visit caught them a little off guard.
After not seeing the Fire Wind Ancestor come out for a long time, this old monster became furious and broke directly into the Ye family, soul-searching a Golden Core elder, and learned about these changes in the Ye family.
Originally, this person wanted to start a massacre and loot the entire Ye family. The Ye family had been in business for hundreds of years, and had accumulated a lot of resources. Facing Black Wind Hermit, the scholar felt annoyed and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Without the protection of the ancestor, their Ye family was just a piece of fat to other Nascent Soul cultivators. Sooner or later, they would cause trouble.
He just didn't expect it to come so quickly. He had just won the position of head of the family, and had not had time to enjoy the Ye family's resources, when he attracted this old monster. If he controlled the Ye family's accumulation for hundreds of years, and cultivated hard for a period of time, he might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
But now it has become wishful thinking, and he has become a wedding dress for others.
In order to preserve the Ye family, he could only tell the story of the ancestor hiding a treasure trove. This temporarily stabilized this evil star. He only hoped that after obtaining the treasure, Black Wind Hermit would leave.
"I have met your Ye family's Fire Wind Ancestor once. In a one-on-one fight, I might not be your ancestor's opponent. This time I came here, I wanted to ask your ancestor for a treasure, and then invite him to explore an ancient cultivator's ruins."
"I didn't expect him to die unexpectedly. Logically speaking, your ancestor and I are cultivators of the same generation, and should still have two or three hundred years of life. Hehe... It's really impermanent. But as long as you juniors are safe, considering the past, I will naturally not embarrass you after I get the treasure, and I will also protect your Ye family," Black Wind old monster chuckled a few times.
"Senior, rest assured, the Ye family will be Senior's force from now on. Please help the Ye family stabilize Dafeng City. If Senior is willing to sit in Dafeng City, Dafeng City can also restore its previous prosperity and will definitely accumulate resources quickly," the scholar's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have grasped something and quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Hehe."
Black Wind Hermit glanced at the flattering scholar and scoffed. He has been a rogue cultivator for hundreds of years, and he will not stay in one place for a long time.
Although Dafeng City, which is controlled by this Ye family, is also a good force, this kind of small force is actually nothing to cultivators at their Nascent Soul level.
Even if he receives it under his command, he will at most obtain some ordinary resources. And this kind of ordinary resources is actually not very useful to Nascent Soul cultivators.
If he really wants to establish a force, with his name as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can also pull up a force that is no weaker than the current Ye family in an instant.
When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, everything they need is extremely precious spiritual objects, most of which cannot be exchanged with spirit stones. Chance is what these old monsters value most.
Black Wind old monster sneered in his heart. This visit to the Ye family, hearing that the Ye family ancestor had died, was a chance for him. Thinking in his heart, he glanced at the young man on the other side.
This young man is very strange. He only has Foundation Establishment strength, his head is tilted to one side, his eyes are rolled back, and he keeps giggling foolishly. His body is also tied with a scarlet chain, which is being pinched in the middle-aged scholar's hand.
If Ye Chenming saw this person, he would be very surprised. The young man's appearance is somewhat similar to him. It is his half-brother, Ye Chenfei.
In order to confirm the Ye family's treasure trove, Black Wind Hermit had forcibly soul-searched this person.
Now he has become a fool. After being forcibly subjected to the soul-searching technique, his soul has been severely damaged, his consciousness is chaotic, and this is what he looks like. If it weren't for opening the treasure trove, Ye Chenfei would still be needed.
Black Wind Hermit would never bring a fool all the way, and would have killed him long ago.
They also know that Ye Chenming is not dead and has escaped from the Ye family, but they would not have thought that Ye Chenming would directly escape into the Demon Wind Mountain Range.
Naturally, they could not have predicted that someone had already taken the lead and gone to the Ye family's treasure trove.
……
Let's talk about it again. Zhang Ling took Ye Chenming and flew for a day and a night, flying more than 20,000 miles. Although he has just stabilized the Nascent Soul, his usual escape speed is several times faster than when he was in the Golden Core stage.
This is not full-strength flight. If he does not hesitate to consume spiritual power for full-strength flight, his escape speed can be doubled.
At this time, Zhang Ling released his divine sense and saw a large area of strange mountains below the clouds.
The peaks below are very high, forming a continuous area covering hundreds of miles. These peaks are pitch black, with very little vegetation on them, like bumps protruding from the ground, which is very strange.
Zhang Ling looked at it a few times and recognized that this was a volcanic area.
However, he did not feel that the surrounding fire spiritual power was very strong. On the contrary, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy was a few points lower than other areas. This is because the volcanic rock peaks below are dead volcanoes that have not erupted for at least hundreds of years.
Along the way, he only encountered some low-level demon beasts, and did not even find a high-level demon beast. It can be seen that this area is quite desolate.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this where your Ye family's treasure is hidden?"
"Senior Zhang, don't worry, there is no mistake. The treasure trove is in this area," Ye Chenming also looked around at the environment below at the same time, and answered affirmatively.
Although Zhang Ling was asking, it was just a casual question. According to the news obtained from the soul search, he naturally knew that the Ye family's treasure trove was indeed in this area.
It's just that the treasure trove is placed in such a desolate place, and I don't know what the Ye family ancestor was thinking.
After flying for a while, he saw a low dead volcano in front of him. Compared with the surrounding peaks, this mountain was not conspicuous.
The only difference is that the upper half of the tall mountains next to it are covered with thick snow, while this low mountain has no snow. On the contrary, a lake more than ten miles wide has formed at the crater at the top.
It was exactly midnight at this time, and the night wind was gentle, and the bright moon hung high. It sprinkled a piece of silver moonlight, making the lake water as bright as a mirror.
Lakes like this located on the top of mountains are generally called Tianchi(天池: Heavenly Pond). The scenery now has some artistic conception.
"Senior, the treasure trove is hidden under the Tianchi(天池: Heavenly Pond) in front," Ye Chenming also reminded.
Zhang Ling chuckled and flew directly over there, landing next to the lake. He looked around and said in a low voice, "You wait here for a moment, I will explore this area to prevent any danger."
After he finished speaking, he turned into a ray of light and explored around the lake. After a while, he came to the other side of the lake.
In fact, when he first came here, he had explored it with his divine sense. There were no high-level demon beasts in the surrounding hundred-mile area, and there were no traces of human activity. There was no threat.
However, to be on the safe side, Zhang Ling still carefully scanned the surroundings.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Ling returned again and directly took Ye Chenming and sneaked into the bottom of the lake, and began to search for the Ye family's treasure trove. On the shore where the two were, a flash of black light suddenly appeared in the originally empty place, and a black-robed man appeared. It was the human form transformed by the black turtle.
The black turtle flashed and sat directly on a boulder next to it. The black light on his body flashed a few times, and his body became transparent. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. But he did not move half a point, but used the illusion mud to hide his aura.
Zhang Ling released the black turtle to guard outside, just in case. If there is any change below, the turtle can also be rescued. After all, it is a treasure trove left by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it is hard to say whether there is any danger.
Of course, letting the black turtle stay outside also has another purpose, which is to monitor the surrounding situation. If there are other dangers, he can sense it with a single thought.
……
The water below is deep and dark, the water flow is clear and cold, with some bone-chilling cold air. A yellow light cluster wraps two figures, and quickly dives to the bottom of the water.
Zhang Ling released his divine sense and carefully explored the situation in the water. The divine sense is affected to a certain extent in the water, but with his current divine sense strength, he can also explore a range of thirty to forty miles. Basically, it has covered the situation in the water.
It's just that this Tianchi(天池: Heavenly Pond) does not look large in area on the top, but the range under the water is very large, as if the entire mountain has been hollowed out. From time to time, you can see groups of fish and beasts.
However, there are no high-level demon beasts. They are all low-level demon beasts. There is no need for Zhang Ling to take action. Slightly releasing some aura, these fish and beasts are all panicked and fled.
After carefully sneaking for half a cup of tea, he reached the bottom of the water.
The bottom of the water is dark, covered with thick black mud, there are no traces of human activity, and there are no underwater buildings. It doesn't look like a place to hide treasures.
"Senior, wait a moment, I will cast a spell to open the restriction here," Ye Chenming also looked around, released his right hand, and was holding the fiery red seal in his hand.
After this son finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and draw/cut on the palm of his hand, and immediately draw/cut out a wound, and streams of blood flowed out.
Ye Chenming quickly threw the seal in his hand, and incantation came from his mouth, and at the same time, his hands quickly condense hand seals. He began to cast the spell.
As the spiritual power of this person changed, the flowing blood turned into blood-colored silk threads, like earthworms, all drill into the red seal.
Suddenly, the seal turned blood red, tremble slightly, turned into a blood-colored light ball, and floated straight forward.
"The treasure trove is in front," Ye Chenming also seemed to sense something, and said quickly. Zhang Ling smiled and followed the red seal directly.
After a while, they flew to a certain position at the bottom of the water. The seal floated in the water and rotated, looking very spiritual.
The faster the thing turned, the more it stirred up a stream of water, forming a small water vortex. The whistling sound came from under his feet at the same time, and a large area of silt below was swept away, revealing a black boulder.
This boulder is very uneven, like ordinary stones.
And the red seal suddenly stopped rotating, emitting a strange bright and dark light, and then turned into a huge red light pillar, and hit the boulder all at once.
With a loud rumble sound, cracks appeared on the boulder, and countless blue spiritual lights emerged.
Zhang Ling stood with his hands behind his back and watched all this calmly, but he was slightly surprised in his heart.
Just now he had scanned the surroundings with his divine sense. There were many stones of different sizes hidden in the water silt. They were all ordinary stones, and he did not find any spiritual power fluctuations.
I didn't expect that the inside of this inconspicuous boulder was engraved with spiritual patterns, but it didn't emit any spiritual power before.
It seems that this boulder seems to be part of some kind of formation.
Zhang Ling thought in his heart, and checked the surroundings again, but apart from this boulder, there was no change in other places.
As the spiritual light pillar continued to impact, a muffled bang bang bang sound came from the boulder, and the blue spiritual light emitted from it was as real as it was, turning into spiritual light lines, entangle into a unit of length large blue light sphere.
Seeing this light sphere, Zhang Ling frowned slightly.
Because the spiritual power fluctuation emitted by the light sphere is extremely strong, no less than a high-level spell. If it suddenly attacks, it can bomb the bottom of the water.
He secretly became vigilant in his heart, and glanced at Ye Chenming beside him. This person did not move at all, but looked at the spiritual power light sphere with a look of anticipation.
