[Chapter 163] Cave Ruins
[Chapter 163] Cave Ruins
Moshi City.
Ye Chenyuan knew about the Yuan family in Moshi City, but he didn't know much about them. Therefore, when they arrived in Moshi City, he took Ye Yisheng to find someone to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family before heading to the Yuan family.
The lobby of Yuan Mansion.
Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan had just sat down in the lobby of the Yuan family when they saw a man who looked to be around thirty years old, but was actually several hundred years old, walk in.
He was wearing a dark purple robe embroidered with intricate and ancient totems. The belt of the same color tied around his waist was inlaid with several jade stones engraved with runes. The golden crown on his head was also a defensive weapon.
This outfit alone costs no less than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Of course, these are just what we see on the surface, there are some things that we cannot see.
Such a wealthy and powerful person is none other than the head of the Yuan family.
As soon as he entered the hall, the head of the Yuan family set his sights on Ye Yisheng: "Are you a disciple of Yunjue Palace?"
"Junior Ye Yisheng greets Patriarch Yuan."
Ye Yishen stood up, saluted, and used his spiritual energy to present his identity jade token to the head of the Yuan family.
After looking at Ye Yisheng's jade identity card and confirming his identity, the head of the Yuan family handed the jade identity card back to Ye Yisheng and turned his attention to Ye Chenyuan.
"Who is this fellow Taoist?"
At first he thought the other person was Ye Yisheng's protector, but looking at the positions where the two were sitting, it was obviously not the case.
"I am Ye Chenyuan, Ye Yisheng's grandfather."
Ye Chenyuan stood up and bowed to the head of the Yuan family.
The head of the Yuan family immediately returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Brother Ye, nice to meet you."
Having said that, he had never heard of Ye Chenyuan before today.
Although the Ye family is one of the four major families in Qiyu City, if the Ye family is placed in Moshi City, it can be regarded as a third-rate family at most. However, the Yuan family is a first-class family in Moshi City and one of the three major families in Moshi City.
Moreover, Qiyu City is 180,000 miles away from Moshi City, and the two sides have no mutual interests, so it is generally difficult to meet each other.
The head of the Yuan family just wanted to get rid of the two people as soon as possible, so he asked directly: "I wonder why the two of you came to my Yuan family?"
This question hit the nail on the head for Ye Chenyuan: "We are here to ask you about the whereabouts of my son Ye Xian."
A flash of surprise flashed across the eyes of the head of the Yuan family. He thought Ye Xian was a casual cultivator with no background. Unexpectedly, the other party not only has a father in the God Transformation Stage, but also has a son in the Yunjue Palace.
I hope the grandfather and grandson can understand the situation and not blame his son for Ye Xian’s disappearance.
"Jingcheng's condition is not good now. He is only awake for one hour every day. I will take you to his residence first. When he wakes up, you can ask him in person!"
"Thank you for your help." Ye Chenyuan said politely.
The three of them walked out of the lobby and headed towards the courtyard where Yuan Jingcheng lived.
The architecture of Yuan Mansion is similar to that of other noble families, the difference is that the materials used in Yuan Mansion are all the most expensive and exquisite. There are all kinds of rare flowers and plants planted in the palace. The bluestone paths and the faint fragrance of flowers make people feel relaxed and comfortable.
If nothing else, Ye Yishen would definitely take a good look at the scenery of Yuan Mansion. But Ye Xian is missing now, and he just wants to find Ye Xian as soon as possible.
Soon, the three of them arrived at an exquisite courtyard.
"Jingcheng lives here."
The head of the Yuan family led the two people straight into the yard and walked towards the east wing.
The door of the east wing was open, and the figures of several maids could be vaguely seen inside. Two maids were standing on both sides of the door and saw the head of the Yuan family.
The two maids bowed and said, "Master."
The head of the Yuan family said "hmm" and took the lead to walk into the house.
Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan followed closely behind.
inside the house.
Seeing the head of the Yuan family come in, Mrs. Yuan stood up and was about to ask him who was looking for him, when she saw Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan walking into the room behind him.
"Who are these two?"
"This fellow Daoist Ye is Ye Xian's father, and that fellow Daoist Ye is a disciple of Yunjue Palace and also Ye Xian's son. They are here to ask Jing Cheng about Ye Xian's whereabouts."
The head of the Yuan family explained the purpose of the two people coming to the Yuan Mansion, and secretly reminded his wife of their identities.
By the way, he introduced Mrs. Yuan to the two of them: "She is Yuan's wife, Yu Xuan."
Yu Xuan looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing a lavender robe that looked simple and elegant. Anyone who knows what is good will know that all the jewelry she wears is made by a master craftsman.
The two sides greeted each other and then turned the topic to Yuan Jingcheng.
It was mostly the head of the Yuan family and Madam Yuan who were talking.
Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan listened, occasionally agreeing with a word or two.
Finally, half an hour later, a slight cough was heard in the room.
“Ahem~”
"Jingcheng is awake." Mrs. Yuan walked a few steps to the bedside, took the cup from the maid, and was about to feed Yuan Jingcheng with her own hands.
"Mom, my hand is not injured." Yuan Jingcheng stretched out his hand helplessly, motioning Mrs. Yuan to give him the cup.
Mrs. Yuan thought Yuan Jingcheng said this because he had a broken leg. While shedding tears, she comforted him, "Cheng'er, don't worry. Your father has asked someone to find out the news about the Jade Bone Pill, and there will be results soon."
The effect of the Jade Bone Pill: flesh grows on bones and broken limbs regenerate.
Yuan Jingcheng just felt a headache: "Mom, please don't cry all the time. People who don't know would think that the person with a broken leg is my father."
The head of the Yuan family who was inexplicably called out said: "You little bastard, you are such a filial son! Your own leg is broken, but you still curse your father to break his leg with you."
Yuan Jingcheng took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Dad, don't get excited, I was just making a metaphor."
Seeing his son who was obviously very weak but pretending to be fine, the head of the Yuan family snorted coldly and turned his eyes away, unable to bear to look at him any longer.
Thinking of the grandfather and grandson who were still waiting in the outer room, the head of the Yuan family asked Yuan Jingcheng: "Does your missing friend Ye Xian have a son named Ye Yisheng?"
"Yes." After answering, Yuan Jingcheng finally reacted: "Dad, how did you know?"
The head of the Yuan family pointed outside and said, "He is in the outer room now, along with Ye Xian's father. They want to ask you about Ye Xian's disappearance."
"Dad, let them in!"
At the beginning, Yuan Jingcheng sent someone to tell the two servants around Ye Xian, and was waiting for Ye Yisheng and his sister to come and ask him about this matter.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please come in!" the head of the Yuan family shouted outside.
When they entered the inner room, Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan saw a pale young man lying on the bed. Seeing them, the other party gave them a friendly smile.
After the maid brought two chairs and placed them two meters away from the bed, the head of the Yuan family motioned for the two to sit down.
After the grandfather and grandson sat down, the head of the Yuan family said, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Ye Yisheng looked at Yuan Jingcheng and immediately asked, "Senior Yuan, where is the remains of the Nascent Soul cultivator's cave that my father and you visited?"
Yuan Jingcheng nodded to Ye Chenyuan and Ye Yisheng and took out a jade slip: "This jade slip contains a map to the cave ruins of that Nascent Soul cultivator. If you want to go, it's best to find a famous formation master to go with you."
Ye Chenyuan stretched out his hand and sucked, and the jade slip was in his hand.
After confirming that the map on the jade slip was real, he asked Yuan Jingcheng a few more questions before leaving the Yuan family with Ye Yisheng.
Since the cave ruins could only be entered by cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, the grandfather and grandson did not go there immediately.
The two first went back to the Yunjue Palace market to buy some equipment, and then asked someone to inquire about it to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson took a spaceship to the ruins of the Nascent Soul cultivator's cave.
Two days later, the spacecraft stopped over a dense forest.
Ye Chenyuan released his divine sense to observe the surrounding scenery: "The remains of the Nascent Soul cultivator's cave marked on the map should be nearby."
He handed the jade slip to Ye Yisheng.
Ye Yishen took the jade slip and compared it. Pointing to a small mountain not far away, he said, "That mountain is not on the jade slip."
"Go and have a look."
Ye Chenyuan controlled the spaceship to approach the mountain.
Because they were far apart, the two didn't notice anything unusual. When they approached the hill, they could clearly see that the trees on the hill were growing very well, forming a sharp contrast with the trees on the surrounding hills.
"This mountain doesn't fit in with the other mountains. It seems like it was inserted in from the side." Ye Yishen said to himself.
"Yisheng, have you released your spiritual sense to check?" Ye Chenyuan asked.
"have."
"What did you see?"
"Nothing."
Ye Chenyuan held his forehead with his hand: "Didn't you notice that there is no living thing on this mountain except trees, flowers and grass?"
Ye Yisheng: “…” He really didn’t pay attention to this.
"This mountain has nothing to do with our destination, so there is no need for us to go down and check. The most important thing right now is to find your father."
As Ye Chenyuan spoke, the spaceship had already moved away from the hill that suddenly appeared.
Not long after, Ye Chenyuan and Ye Yisheng flew and landed in front of an extremely smooth rock wall. According to the method Yuan Jingcheng said, Ye Chenyuan knocked on several locations on the rock wall.
The next moment, the smooth rock wall seemed to come alive, twisting a few times, and a door appeared on the rock wall.
Ye Chenyuan took Ye Yisheng and moved away.
He used his spiritual energy to press a raised spot on the stone door from a distance, and saw a white light coming out of the stone door five meters away. Because the two were far apart, the white light did not shine on them.
After two breaths, the white light disappeared.
Ye Chenyuan brought Ye Yisheng closer to the stone gate.
Ye Yisheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Grandfather, what was that white light emanating from the stone gate just now?"
Ye Chenyuan said solemnly: "That is the light of the mark. Generally, only evil cultivators would do this."
Ye Yisheng continued to ask: "What will happen if you are marked?"
"A marked cultivator will be suppressed after entering the cave ruins, and will be easily possessed by the owner of the cave ruins."
Hearing what Ye Chenyuan said, Ye Yisheng stopped walking forward and said, "Wait for Grandfather, let me see if my father is in there first."
Even Ye Chenyuan’s spiritual sense at the Spiritual Transformation Stage could not penetrate into the rock wall.
Just as he was about to ask Ye Yisheng what he thought, he saw Ye Yisheng force out a drop of blood, then formed seals with his hands and cast some magical spells towards the drop of blood.
When Ye Yisheng stopped, the drop of blood seemed to be given life. It turned around on the spot and flew towards him with a "whoosh".
Ye Chenyuan was full of question marks.
Ye Yisheng slapped his forehead and said, "What a bad idea."
How could he forget that there was someone with the same blood as him around him.
Ye Chenyuan pointed at the drop of blood on his head and said, "Yisheng, what are you doing?"
"Ayu taught me a method of finding relatives by using blood," Ye Yishen explained.
Ye Chenyuan was speechless for a while: "How can you treat me, a living person, as air?"
Ye Yisheng said awkwardly: "I forgot for a moment that you and I have the same blood."
Ye Chenyuan: “…” He felt the 10,000 points of critical hit from his grandson.
Thinking of something, Ye Yisheng took out a jade pendant from his space ring: "Grandfather, if you wear this jade pendant, that drop of blood should not be able to detect you."
The material of the jade pendant was ordinary, and Ye Chenyuan didn't care whether it was really as Ye Yishen said. He put it on immediately after getting it.
In just a moment, the drop of blood above his head flew towards the rock wall.
"I didn't expect that this ordinary jade pendant could actually cover the blood vessels in my body."
"My father bought it accidentally."
When he heard that it was bought by Ye Xian, Ye Chenyuan stuffed the jade pendant into his clothes as if it were a treasure, fearing that it would be damaged.
Seeing this, Ye Yisheng said, "This jade pendant is useless to me, so I'll give it to you, grandfather."
Ye Chenyuan said "hmm" lightly, feeling very happy.
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, all the stone doors had been opened.
Ye Chenyuan suppressed his cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core Stage and entered the stone gate first.
Ye Yisheng followed closely behind.
When the two were five meters away from the stone door, it slammed shut.
After walking forward for a while, the two saw a human skeleton. The skeleton was black in color, probably due to poisoning.
Perhaps because many people had come in before, the two did not encounter any danger along the way.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Chenyuan suddenly stopped.
Ye Yisheng looked at the empty space ahead; his drop of blood had already flown twenty meters away.
"Grandfather?" he called softly.
Ye Chenyuan did not respond to Ye Yisheng and continued to stand there motionless.
Sensing something was wrong, Ye Yishen quickly walked in front of Ye Chenyuan. Then he turned around to look at Ye Chenyuan, and saw that Ye Chenyuan was staring blankly ahead.
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ye Chenyuan, but Ye Chenyuan did not react.
Ye Yisheng realized belatedly that they had entered an illusion array. The fact that Ye Chenyuan could fall into its trap shows that the magic array is extremely powerful. The reason why he did not fall into the illusion was probably because he was carrying the illusion-breaking bead on him.
Half an hour later, Ye Chenyuan broke free from the illusion. The first thing he did when he woke up was to turn around to check on Ye Yishen, but there was no one behind him.
What about his grandson who is that big?
At this time, Ye Yisheng's voice sounded in front of him: "Grandfather, I'm here."
Turning back, he saw Ye Yishen standing ten meters away from him, unharmed.
Regarding the fact that Ye Yisheng broke free from the illusion before himself, Ye Chenyuan expressed that he was very satisfied to have such an outstanding grandson. Walking up to Ye Yisheng, he reached out and patted Ye Yisheng on the shoulder.
"You are worthy of being my, Ye Chenyuan's grandson." He didn't know that Ye Yisheng had never fallen into the illusion from beginning to end.
Ye Yisheng was confused by the praise.
Ye Chenyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the dark passage: "Where is your drop of blood?"
"in front of."
The two continued to move forward.
The traps left by the cave owner were all used up by the people who came in first, and only the formation connected to the underground spiritual vein was still running.
After a while, the grandfather and grandson walked into another trap. With the guidance of Ye Yisheng's drop of blood, the two of them quickly got out of the trap.
