Qin Xin took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to Elder Sanbao.

The old man Sanbao did not play games with it. With a gentle kneading, the low-grade spirit stone turned into powder and slowly fell into the teleportation array.

As the old man Sanbao closed his eyes tightly, Qin Xin knew that he was choosing the location to be teleported to.

Qin Xin didn't know how the teleportation array was built, but he did know that it was extremely difficult to create such an array that could teleport martial artists. Only a very powerful array master could do it, and that the array master also needed to comprehend the Dao of Space.

While he was pondering, the Three Treasures Elder had already helped Qin Xin activate the teleportation array, and a blue light slowly rose up on the mountaintop.

At the signal of Elder Sanbao, Qin Xin stepped into the teleportation array.

With a moment of dizziness, Qin Xin found himself in a jungle.

After stepping down from the formation, Qin Xin glanced back with a puzzled look.

He discovered that the teleportation array was one-way, and after reaching the tomb of the Earth Profound Realm expert, he would need to return to the Heavenly Profound Sect on his own.

While traversing the jungle, Qin Xin also harbored some resentment towards the old man Sanbao, because he had not informed him where he would be teleported.

Fortunately, the surrounding area was relatively safe, and Qin Xin's spiritual sense probed the area without finding any demonic beasts.

Just as Qin Xin was struggling with his decision, he spotted a caravan slowly making its way forward, with what appeared to be a lot of cargo on the carriages.

"You kid up ahead, get out of there quickly!"

The leader of the martial arts team saw a young man in a black robe at the front of the group and quickly shouted.

After hearing the leader's soft shout, Qin Xin completely concealed his aura and indicated that he had no ill intentions. He then asked softly, "Gentlemen, I have accidentally gotten lost here and would like to ask where we are now."

Upon hearing that Qin Xin was merely asking for directions, the martial artist leading the group cautiously glanced around at the surrounding bushes, seemingly worried that someone might be hiding there.

After confirming that it was safe, the martial artist leading the group responded directly, "This place is Crimson Ridge Peak!"

"Oh? Is this Red Ridge Peak?" Qin Xin realized he had come to the right place, and all his previous complaints about the Three Treasures Elder vanished.

Just as they were about to turn and leave, the leader of the group, who also seemed to understand something, suddenly spoke up, "Young friend, are you heading to Crimson Ridge City? Crimson Ridge Peak has been rather unsettled lately. If you don't mind, you can travel with us."

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised to hear the invitation. The other party did not know his identity, but still extended an invitation, which made Qin Xin have some doubts.

However, after curiously glancing at the leader of the group, Qin Xin discovered that the other party's aura clearly indicated that he was a powerful expert at the Void Core Realm.

However, this person's aura was rather weak, seemingly due to a long-term lack of cultivation resources and a forced breakthrough in realm.

After accepting the invitation, Qin Xin joined the caravan.

The other warriors in the caravan seemed to have long been accustomed to their leader's actions, and they did not object to the decision to temporarily let Qin Xin join the group. Instead, they all extended goodwill to Qin Xin.

"Young friend, please don't mind. We are from the Sihai Trading Company of Chiling City. My name is Song Wei, and I am the leader of the Sihai Trading Company's guard team."

"Because the area around Crimson Ridge Peak is vast, there are many deep mountains and forests, which is why there are also many bandits living there. They make a living by robbing caravans and passing martial artists, which is why they are so cautious when facing you, young friend."

After walking for a while, Song Wei came to Qin Xin's side and explained.

When Qin Xin saw Song Wei up close, he felt that Song Wei's words were very gentle and did not seem to be lying. Moreover, Qin Xin also noticed that there were several scars that were faintly visible between the short sleeves he was wearing.

Of course, Qin Xin was also curious about these bandits, since Chiling Peak was located in the heart of Tianxuan Sect's territory, and Tianxuan Sect would not let this matter go unpunished.

"Brother Song Wei, you can call me Qin Xin. May I ask why there are so many bandits here, and why no one from the Tianxuan Sect has come to wipe them out?" Qin Xin inquired.

Song Wei sighed helplessly, then shook his head and said, "Alas! There must be a lot of mutual benefit involved between the Tianxuan Sect and these bandits. Our business has reported this many times, but the people from the Tianxuan Sect only come to investigate symbolically before leaving again."

Seeing the helpless expression in Song Wei's eyes, Qin Xin naturally guessed that the other party was not lying.

However, he did not come to Crimson Ridge Peak to help the martial artists here deal with the bandits; the tomb of the Earth Profound Realm expert was his true purpose for this trip.

"Brother Song Wei, you've been around here for years, do you know anything about the tomb of a powerful Earth Profound Realm expert?" Qin Xin suddenly asked.

"Oh? You've come for the tomb of that Earth Profound Realm expert?" Song Wei's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he heard about the tomb of the Earth Profound Realm expert. "There is indeed a tomb of an Earth Profound Realm martial artist deep in Crimson Ridge Peak."

"However, ordinary people like us cannot set foot there. It has long been occupied by the Tianxuan Sect and the surrounding major families. You'd better not even think about entering."

Song Wei was unaware that Qin Xin was also a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, so he spoke up.

During their casual conversation, Qin Xin learned a lot about Chiling Peak and also found out the location of the tomb.

Half a day later, the group quickly arrived at the city gate of Chiling City.

After thanking Song Wei, Qin Xin turned and entered Chiling City.

This was Qin Xin's first time visiting a city where martial artists gathered in Zhongzhou, so he was quite curious.

After wandering around for a while, he also discovered that the local customs, culture, and clothing were very different from those in the Eastern Wilderness.

Qin Xin also found an inn to stay temporarily, after all, he had heard what Song Wei said about wanting to enter the tomb of the Earth Profound Realm martial artist and pass through a miasma-filled area.

This miasma-ridden land is inaccessible to both humans and beasts. The miasma ignores the defenses of martial artists and can easily invade their bodies, unless one reaches the Dharma Aspect Realm and can use space to isolate the miasma from their body.

Fortunately, miasma pills are sold in Chiling City, but they are very expensive.

After resting briefly at the inn, Qin Xin headed towards the Pill Academy in Chiling City once his internal energy had fully recovered to its peak.

Because the place where the miasma pills are sold is the Pill Academy in Chiling City.
