Chapter 28: Opportunities Found by Catching Bugs



Qiu Ji Chen could only take advantage of the time when those people's eyes were fascinated and quickly meet up with his companions.

The other companions finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their senior brother catch up.

"Big Brother, you're okay!"

“That’s great!”

Qiu Jichen looked at his fellow apprentices and said, "The people from the Xuandan Pavilion will soon catch up. They have a lot of elixirs and their spiritual power will recover quickly. Let's go!"

The others nodded repeatedly and hurried towards the exit of the Golden Tomb.

Qiu Ji Chen didn't have the heart to blame these fellow disciples.

He had already asked these fellow disciples to take the body of the Desert Three-tailed Scorpion with them. He asked them to go first because he hoped that they could take the Desert Three-tailed Scorpion away.

But he didn't expect that after he delayed for so long, these fellow disciples didn't go very far.

He knew that his fellow disciples were worried about him, so they deliberately did not walk fast just to wait for him.

Fortunately, they were finally not far from the exit. As long as they left the Golden Tomb, they would immediately return to the sect. Could these disciples of Xuandan Pavilion dare to cause trouble in the sect?

Lu Xianyun, who was practicing her knife skills in the virtual kitchen, suddenly smelled a fragrance and knew that the steamed buns were ready.

She turned down the heat to keep the temperature low, lest the buns get cold when guests arrived.

Looking at the yellow sand outside the tea stall, I felt a little worried. I wondered how my brother was doing.

Every time my younger brother goes out to gain experience, although he gets some opportunities, he is always in danger of death.

But that's all from the original novel. In the original novel, he had no family left, so naturally he had no worries and was willing to risk his life. Now that his family is still there, he shouldn't be so desperate, right?

But if he doesn't fight, he won't get any of those opportunities and treasures, and he won't be able to grow to the terrifying level he will be in the future.

So Lu Xianyun was really conflicted.

Shaking his head, Lu Xianyun immersed himself in the virtual kitchen again.

At this time, Lu Muyun, who was being missed by Lu Xianyun, didn't even know where he was.

He was walking in the desert and came across a dune worm.

This creature looked like a maggot, but it was many times larger. Its body was round and round, with no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, so at first glance, it was impossible to tell its head from its tail.

In fact, this dune worm is not difficult to deal with, but Lu Muyun wants to catch it alive.

After all, ever since his sister got that magical treasure that could hold living things, she'd been wanting to raise everything. So maybe this dune worm would be of interest to her, too. If she could catch a live one, she'd probably be delighted!

It’s a little more difficult to catch it alive.

Dune worms are very good at digging holes, and Lu Muyun accidentally fell into the hole made by the dune worms.

It was difficult to get out of the sand after being stuck in it. Lu Muyun could only slide down along the hole made by the dune worm.

Sliding around like that, Lu Muyun didn't know where he was.

Finally, Lu Muyun stopped.

The dune worm seemed to have encountered a hard rock when drilling the hole, so it took a detour, but Lu Muyun fell straight onto the rock.

After the dune worms drilled through, the hole was filled with sand again, quickly blocking the path. If Lu Muyun hadn't used his spiritual power to wrap himself up, he would have been completely submerged by the sand.

Forget it, there are plenty of dune worms in the desert. If I can’t catch this one, I can just catch another one.

Although I can't tell east, west, and north from east, up should be the right direction.

Lu Muyun was just about to rush out of the sand, but suddenly he felt that there was something wrong with the rock under his feet.

This rock does not seem to have grown naturally, but instead appears to be smooth and regular, with traces of artificial polishing.

Lu Muyun squatted down and used his spiritual power to push away the sand on the rock, and found that it was indeed a piece of man-made bluestone.

Could it be that our ancestors built houses here?

Lu Muyun scratched the stone twice again and suddenly found that there was another line of words on the stone slab!

The sky is a chessboard and the stars are the pieces. Who dares to play?

Lu Muyun blinked his eyes.

That's a really powerful statement! But it's just one sentence, which seems a bit strange. I feel like there should be a second half.

Is this something called a couplet?

So what about the next sentence...

"If the ground is a pipa and the road is its strings, who can play it?"

Lu Muyun whispered.

But then, the bluestone slab suddenly burst into a dazzling light, which made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

He only felt a spiritual power enveloping his body, and then a suction force came from his belly button!

The next moment, the body seemed to be placed in the void, and a feeling of weightlessness came over me.

When he was able to control his body again, he was finally able to open his eyes.

Lu Muyun looked around.

Where is this?

A square room that looked like it was made entirely of the same bluestone slabs he had seen before.

There's nothing special about it. The only strange thing is that there is no door.

If there is no door, then the only way to get in and out is by teleporting?

Why does he always encounter this kind of situation recently?

Just as he was looking around the room, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Huh? How long has it been? Another kid is here. Tell me, how did you get in?"

The voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man, deep and powerful, but with a hint of humor.

Lu Muyun ignored the question and looked around to see where the voice came from.

It's strange, the sound seems to come from all directions and it's impossible to tell where it comes from.

Although Lu Muyun was young, he had seen a lot of the world. How could he possibly answer someone so casually when the person who was speaking was so evasive and it was unclear whether he was a human or a ghost?

He knew that there were some top-level sound cultivators who could confuse people with just a few words, and there were also some high-level cultivators whose minds would be confused after just a few conversations with them.

Then the sound came again.

"Hey, you're quite alert, huh? But you're using your vigilance in the wrong place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Muyun suddenly felt a huge pressure on himself.

His legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees, but he still held on tightly.

"Boy, feel it, right? If I want to kill you, you won't be able to bear it. Those who can come here are all destined to be with me. It's just that I have left too many opportunities, so I have to ask."

After saying this, Lu Muyun felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear.

At first, Lu Muyun didn't answer because he was afraid that he had broken into someone's house and that the owner of the house would kill him as an intruder.

But now it seems that the owner of this place is clearly waiting for others to come!

So Lu Muyun also spoke up, "To answer the senior, I saw a stone tablet with the words 'The sky is a chessboard and the stars are chess pieces, who dares to play' engraved on it, so I replied 'The earth is a pipa and the road is a string, who can play it', and that's how I got here."
