Chapter 270

It's not that he didn't understand Lin Qingyang's concerns, but he knew even more clearly that as a cultivator...

No matter how hard Lin Qingyang tried to persuade him, Cheng Hui always insisted on his own opinion.

It's not that he doesn't understand Lin Qingyang's concerns, but he knows even more clearly that as a cultivator, it is impossible not to take risks.

He backed down this time, but what about next time?

Is it possible to do nothing just because it's a little dangerous?

He could understand that Lin Qingyang had some PTSD because of what happened in his previous life, but understanding was one thing, and he still had to do what he had to do.

Lin Qingyang: ...

Sometimes, this kind of stubbornness of a lover is really annoying...

Forget it, at worst I can just make more preparations myself and keep him safe.

Speaking of which...should he go and get his 'inheritance' back?

Although the Blood Demon Lord's body was already riddled with holes, it was still the body of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even if the impurities were removed and used to make pills, it would still be very good.

Uh... isn't it a bit inappropriate to use your own body to make medicine?

Lin Qingyang thought about it distressfully, and finally decided to put it aside for now and talk about it again when there is a chance.

[Have you two discussed this? ]

"Yes, but to enter the ancient ruins, you need the right opportunity." Lin Qingyang knew that he could not stop Cheng Hui, so he began to carefully plan for him.

Blindly rushing into the ruins will only lead to death. Only by preparing in advance can you explore safely.

The most important thing is...cannon fodder is indispensable, and it would be best if there are more of them.

Lin Qingyang silently raised his head and looked in the direction of the cultivator town, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Look... a ready-made cannon fodder concentration camp.

What? That's too much?

He just 'accidentally' exposed the existence of the ancient god's ruins. It was the cultivators who were willing to explore it themselves, so it was none of his business.

As for whether they know the danger of the ancient ruins?

It's ridiculous. They are not children anymore. Do they need others to tell them where is dangerous and where is safe?

Besides, even if they are children, Lin Qingyang is not their parent. Educating children is the parents' business and has nothing to do with him.

[What preparations are you going to make?] The boss asked again.

Lin Qingyang counted the things that needed to be prepared, most of which were very targeted, and it was obvious that he was quite experienced.

[…No need to go to such trouble. As long as you can take me in, I can naturally protect you.]

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang exchanged a glance, and Cheng Hui took the initiative to ask, "Do you really want to go in there? Do you have any special needs?"

The boss was silent for a while. "Yes, there might be something I need there. Don't worry, my needs are different from yours, so there won't be any conflicts."

Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I'm not worried about any conflicts between our needs. After all, you're already a god, and anything that satisfies your needs will definitely be kept in the strictest of places. I'm just worried that we won't be able to get anywhere."

Cheng Hui's words were straightforward and realistic.

It is true that he has intentions towards the ancient god's ruins, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any ideas.

It's easy to imagine that it was a relic left by a god. Before it was destroyed, it was most likely the god's residence or palace.

Even a magical herb growing in the wild will have a magical beast guarding nearby. Do you think there are any defensive measures in the palace of the gods?

And what level of defense would be required for something so good that this god in front of him would like?

He just wanted to take what he could, instead of foolishly seeking death.

【……】

The boss was silent for a while, and the handwriting changed again.

I can protect you.

Cheng Hui: ...Boss, your words are not convincing at all. After all, you are still squatting in my storage ring...

Perhaps the disgusted expression on Cheng Hui's face was too obvious, and the boss was speechless for a moment.

Finally, he transformed himself: [Don't worry, I swear to the Heavenly Dao, as long as you can help me get the Jade Sandalwood, I promise to protect you and leave safely.]

"What if there is no such thing as jade sandalwood?" Cheng Hui refused to give in.

"Even without the Jade Sandalwood, I can still protect you two, but it won't be possible to gain anything else by then." Judging from his tone, the boss didn't seem very happy.

Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: Who cares whether you are happy or not? We are the ones taking the risk.

It’s enough to have such a promise. After all, he is a big boss, and we can’t push him too much.

In fact, if the ancient ruins were not too dangerous, he would not be so aggressive.

Given the boss's current condition, even if he can use his power, he will probably have to pay a certain price.

The value of the two of them may not be worth the big boss's effort, so to be safe, he has to ask for a promise.

"Okay, since you've given the order, let's get ready right away and try to set off as soon as possible." Cheng Hui said with a smile.

【Don’t you need to prepare too many things at this time? 】

Cheng Hui: ...Oh no, the boss has also learned to be sarcastic.

"We still need to prepare. After all, you don't want to take action over a small matter, right? For general problems, we can solve them ourselves." Lin Qingyang gently pushed back the boss.

He also understood that the boss now needed their help, so as long as the price was not too excessive, they could still bargain a little.

【……】

Even through the grains of sand, Cheng Hui could feel the boss's speechless voice.

The next morning, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang went to the town of cultivators again, but this time, they had given up on buying things like the devil's blood.

It is so difficult to refine the essence and blood, it is better to go directly to the ancient god's ruins to look for it.

The ancient god's ruins have been floating in the void for many years, and what they lack the least is various void auras.

These void auras may not be able to protect the entire ruins, but if they are extracted, they are more than enough to protect a few people.

Soon, a rumor spread in the market that a group of natives were caught in a sandstorm while searching for special items. When they woke up, they found themselves in a place that looked like a fairy palace.

The place is filled with clouds and mist, and the air is ethereal. Eating any weed on the ground can make people rejuvenated.

They thought they might have strayed into the fairyland, and some people even tried to open the door to the fairyland. Unfortunately... those people died after touching the door, and even their bones turned to ashes. The remaining people were so scared that they ran away.

Later, they didn't know what happened, but they seemed to have passed through a door and reappeared in the desert.

At first, the news was only circulated among the local natives, and most people thought that the unlucky team might have accidentally eaten something that could cause hallucinations, which led to the so-called "fairyland".

They discussed the matter as a joke and did not deliberately guard against anyone, so the news soon reached the ears of the monks.

The locals didn’t understand what this so-called fairyland was, but the monks understood it as soon as they heard it.

Suddenly appearing and then suddenly disappearing, even a weed can be rejuvenated...Except that the rejuvenation is too exaggerated, the rest are obviously secret realms!

Monk: If you say that, we won’t be sleepy anymore!

When it comes to exploring secret realms, probably no cultivator would lack interest.

In the past, in the Xuanheng Realm, even if a secret realm appeared, it would often be occupied by large sects and powerful forces. On the contrary, this Forbidden Demon Battlefield had never had a secret realm before.

This also means that this secret realm has most likely never been explored, which means that this secret realm may be dangerous, but it also represents huge benefits.

For so many years, the monks have never given up trying to explore the world where the demons live, but they have not succeeded because the conditions do not allow it. Now that a secret realm has suddenly appeared, no one will give up.

In this way, rumors began to appear in the morning, and before evening, some impatient monks had already headed straight to the desert to explore.

The locals also noticed the big commotion on the monks' side. Surprised, they also started their own investigation. Soon, the news about the rumor was delivered to the command team's desk.

"Secret realm?" A senior executive was a little confused when he saw this unfamiliar word.

But soon, the news about the secret realm was popularized by specialized personnel.

The higher-ups felt that such good things could not be enjoyed exclusively by the monks. This was a local secret place, and of course the locals had to take a share.

So they began to discuss which legion to send to explore the secret realm.

At the same time, this news was quickly delivered to the desks of royal families of various countries, and various countries also showed great interest in it.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even those reclusive martial arts masters and land immortals rushed to the desert a few days later. The secret realm was also very tempting to them.

At this time, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang did not expect that a rumor would lead to such serious consequences... At least Cheng Hui did not expect it, and even if Lin Qingyun had thought of it, he would not care.

No one knew the dangers of the Ancient God Ruins better than Lin Qingyang. Since they had already received the promise and protection of the big boss, at least they could be guaranteed a good share. So why not spread the word and let others lead the way? They would definitely not suffer any loss.

Just like that, when Cheng Hui went to Blood Battle City to ask for leave again, he heard rumors about the secret realm.

Cheng Hui: ...

Cheng Hui was confused by the guests in the inn's eloquent boasting.

Is the secret place they talk about, which is like a fairyland, with gold everywhere and any weed as the elixir of immortality, really the remains of ancient gods?

If he hadn't been the one who spread the rumor, he would have almost believed it.

He said to Lin Qingyang with lingering fear: "They say rumors are terrible, and I've finally seen it. What the hell is going on? I even emphasized the dangers of the secret realm, so how come... these are the only things that got spread?"

The messages circulating in the market now never mention how dangerous the secret realm is. They are all describing how many treasures are inside. It’s almost as if a message is written at the entrance of the secret realm: Few people, many treasures, come quickly!

Cheng Hui was a little worried. Just hearing this rumor made him tempted, but the danger there was real. If many people really died tragically there, he would not be able to help but feel guilty.

"Don't worry." Lin Qingyang patted the back of his hand: "The ancient ruins are not accessible to just anyone. Ordinary people can't even see where the door is. However, those martial arts masters and land immortals may have a chance to break in."

Cheng Hui felt relieved knowing that ordinary people would not be in danger.

As for those masters and monks?

Even he himself is risking his life to explore and find treasures. How can he not take some risks?

We are all adults. If we don't know our own strength and insist on seeking death, then no one can stop us, right?
