Chapter 221: The Hidden Cave
Zhu Yan led Wang Hong along the edge of a serene pool, arriving at the back of a waterfall. Unbeknownst to them, there was a concealed mountain cave behind it.
The cave entrance was only two to three feet wide and five to six feet tall, requiring them to stoop to enter.
Bending forward, they walked for two miles until suddenly, the path opened up before them. It felt as if they had reached the end of the cave.
Before them lay a vast space, with green mountains and clear waters stretching across hundreds of acres. A grassy field spread out before them, and in the distance, a small mountain had a stream meandering down its slopes, curving through the grassy terrain.
Unbelievably, this stream contained Spirit Spring water, and Spirit Herbs of various tiers grew along its banks. Some small Demonic Beasts roamed and frolicked in this space.
Above them, the cave's ceiling was adorned with numerous luminescent ores, like a sky full of stars, casting a bright glow across the entire space.
Without lingering, Zhu Yan led Wang Hong towards the small mountain ahead.
As they reached the mountainside, they discovered that the Spirit Spring water flowed from a mountain cave large enough for both of them to walk through side by side.
"So, there's another cave within this cave, and the item should be in here?" Wang Hong inquired.
"Exactly. Within this space, there are several small Spirit Veins converging, and this mountain is at the center of their convergence. Due to the long period of disuse and minimal consumption of Spirit Qi in this area, it has allowed the birth of such Spiritual Objects," Zhu Yan explained.
"I see. That's why I feel the Spirit Qi becoming denser."
Usually, one small Spirit Vein was sufficient to support a family, but here, there were several small Spirit Veins, and the living creatures were not particularly numerous.
With less consumption of Spirit Vein energy, the Spirit Qi naturally became more concentrated, making it easier to nurture natural treasures.
While they chatted, they continued walking along the stream into the inner cave.
He recounted how, in his childhood, his father had rescued an injured and unconscious Qi Cultivation Cultivator from the mountains. However, when that Cultivator woke up, he used a secret healing technique to kill Zhu Yan's parents and over a thousand villagers in their village.
At the time, Zhu Yan had managed to survive by hiding in a cellar during the massacre. Although he had escaped death, young and helpless, he had lived a life of humiliation and suffering, struggling to survive on the streets.
Eventually, through a stroke of luck, he joined a sect and became a Cultivator himself. His past experiences made him adopt a faade of a benevolent person in public.
However, behind the scenes, he committed all sorts of atrocities. Even after reaching the Foundation Building stage, he had once robbed and killed Qi Cultivation initial-stage Cultivators just to get his hands on a few Spirit Stones.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong was still being pursued by the Demonic Ape, jumping and dodging to evade its attacks. He had already used Devouring Spirit Poison on the ape, a poison with excellent concealment but slow-acting.
His Golden Light Bowl was buzzing from the ape's attacks, its radiance flickering.
Eventually, the Demonic Ape landed a heavy blow on the Golden Light Bowl, causing the light on it to extinguish as it fell to the ground.
At the same time, Wang Hong's Golden Seal struck the ape's back, making it stumble forward, narrowly avoiding a nasty fall.
Though the ape wasn't severely injured, the blow further fueled its rage, and it swung its stone club ferociously at Wang Hong.
As its attacks grew more relentless, the Devouring Spirit Poison spread faster within its body. Unaware of this, the ape remained fixated on chasing and attacking Wang Hong.
"Junior Brother Wang, I heard this pill was originally made by you for feeding Spirit Beasts. Is it true that your Spirit Beasts often treat it like candy?" Zhu Yan pulled out the Essence Core Pill and waved it in his hand.
While escaping, Wang Hong cast a sidelong glance in Zhu Yan's direction. "Indeed, it's my creation. But where did you get it? I don't have many of them."
Wang Hong couldn't be sure how Zhu Yan had obtained the pill, but ever since he had revealed it to his subordinates, he knew that the secret might eventually leak.
"Oh, but I heard this was just a pill you used to feed Spirit Beasts. Your Spirit Beasts seem to enjoy it like candy, don't they?" Zhu Yan teased with a sly grin.
