"The wind is strong, hurry up..."

Seeing that the old Taoist priest had slipped away, Ye Qiu dared not stay any longer. With a whoosh, he also disappeared from the spot.

In less than a moment, several figures emerged from the shattered void.

They all wore green robes and looked very strange. They looked like humans, but their bodies were covered with vines and tentacles.

"Hmm? There was clearly a strange energy fluctuation here just now, why did it suddenly disappear?"

As soon as he appeared, the man in the lead looked around and said in a serious tone.

Behind him, there were several creatures who looked like him, each with a look of confusion on their faces.

"Young Master! This is the ancient Piaomiao Immortal Trace ruins. It is full of dangers. Even the Immortal Emperor dare not easily set foot on this land. It is estimated that some ignorant boy who is not afraid of death rashly broke in and caused the abnormal energy fluctuation. It is not surprising."

"Well, let's ignore it for now! This ethereal fairyland is mysterious and unpredictable. We can just look for fairy mines nearby."

"Remember, don't get any closer."

Teng Ling thought about it, and finally gave a serious instruction. He didn't want to see his subordinates accidentally triggering taboos due to ignorance and thus implicate them.

While they were discussing, Ye Qiu and the old Taoist priest were secretly observing from behind a stone floating in the air not far away.

"Tsk tsk, look at this person, he is from the Hall of Eternal Life."

"The Palace of Eternal Life?"

Ye Qiu asked curiously, he didn't know what the Hall of Eternal Life was, after all, he had just arrived.

The old Taoist stroked his beard, with a smug expression, and said, "Hehe, I have been traveling in the Ancient Immortal Realm for so many years, so I can be considered to have seen a lot."

"This group of little kids are from the Immortal Clan. This clan... is a twisted tree spirit from the beginning of chaos that cultivated and gained enlightenment. After that, they multiplied and gradually formed this huge clan."

"Then he was named the Immortal Spirit! He thought he was as old as the heaven and earth, and later he was blessed with the good fortune of heaven and earth. The twisted tree spirit was promoted to immortality eons ago, and was promoted to the position of Immortal Emperor. He founded the Palace of Immortality and passed down the immortality method for his descendants."

After listening to the old Taoist's talk, Ye Qiu finally understood the origin of this clan.

He did not respond, and the old Taoist continued, "Look, the young man in the lead, the clothes he is wearing, and the medal of honor hanging on his chest, he must be a direct descendant of the Changsheng Spirit Clan, or even... maybe the young master of the Changsheng Palace."

"Young Master!"

Ye Qiu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that on the first day of his ascension, he would encounter a person with such a terrifying background.

Palace of Eternal Life?

It sounds like this thing is not much worse than Wang Xianzhi's fairy palace.

Fortunately, he ran away quickly just now. It’s better not to provoke such a person for the time being.

Since we have just arrived, we should be cautious in everything.

At least, before Ye Qiu has established a firm foothold and opened up the Tianting Dojo, it is not advisable to confront these big clans head-on.

"Hey, old man! What do you think they are doing?"

"What else can I do? Mining."

"Mining?"

Ye Qiu was puzzled. The young master of such a powerful force would come out to mine personally?

What the hell.

What kind of mine is this? That requires the young master to dig it himself.

"Hey, you don't understand this, right?"

The old Taoist priest chuckled, and then he reached back with his hand, and a bright star stone suddenly appeared in his hand. It emitted a strong and powerful star force.

Ye Qiu's pupils contracted. He could feel the tremendous power contained in the star stone. If it was used for cultivation, it would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

"This is the most priceless treasure outside the domain, the Star Stone."

"After the ancient fairyland was shattered, the heaven and earth collapsed, the earth shattered, and countless plates drifted in the void."

“The immortal stone originally belonged to the ancient immortal realm. After absorbing the star power from the stars, it underwent a transformation. Its value is immeasurable.”

"Even the Immortal Emperor needs this kind of treasure to help him practice."

"So, in order to collect more star stones, all the major forces sent countless disciples and descendants to search for them in various restricted areas."

After listening to the old Taoist's explanation, Ye Qiu suddenly understood and gradually became interested.

"Star Stone?"

Different from the red crystals of the nine heavens and ten earths, this star stone is obviously a treasure circulated outside the domain, a real good thing.

It seems that I have to find a way to get some.

After all, you can't go out without some money.

Glancing at the old Taoist priest, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, old senior! I just heard you say that you are good at digging graves. Could it be that... there are also star stones hidden in that tomb?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old Taoist's face suddenly changed.

Good boy!

I misjudged you.

The old Taoist priest was shocked. At first he thought that Ye Qiu didn't notice this sentence. He didn't expect that Ye Qiu had known it all along, but he kept it hidden and never said it.

Waiting for me here?

Damn, I was so careless!

Good boy! I thought you were quite innocent, but I didn't expect you to be the most scheming one.

Taoist Hong Yi has experienced it all. This harmless boy looks a bit naive, but he has a dark heart.

He seems to be chatting and laughing on the surface, but he has many things on his mind.

“Ahem…”

Seeing that his trick had been exposed, the old Taoist smiled awkwardly. Now he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But it was okay. Ye Qiu had just arrived and only knew that he liked to dig graves. He didn't know his other nickname, nor did he know what people outside the domain thought of his experience.

It's not too smelly.

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and chuckled, saying, "Hehe, of course! Otherwise, why would I dig up other people's graves when I'm bored?"

"How about it, young man! Are you interested in making a fortune with me?"

"You are so smart. With you joining our gang, we will definitely become bigger and stronger and achieve greater success."

The old Taoist priest immediately extended an olive branch. Ye Qiu smiled evilly and said, "Don't think he is a good person."

Grave digging?

Although he didn't do this, what he did was more detrimental to his virtue than digging graves, so what does it matter?

"If the senior is willing to help me, how can I be ungrateful?"

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest was immediately delighted. Wow! Has he met a good partner with the same ideals as him?

"Hehe, sure, that's perfect! I recently spotted a nice tomb of the Immortal King, but I'm alone and it might be risky to barge in rashly, so I haven't dared to move."

"I'll take you to see it later, don't worry! If you follow me, you will definitely make a fortune and return home in glory."

Hearing the old Taoist priest's confident look, Ye Qiu's mouth twitched.

There is no chance of returning home in glory, but getting rich is possible.

He also didn't expect that the old Taoist priest had already seen good news and was waiting to find a partner to go digging graves together.

Good fellow! If Ye Qiu hadn't mentioned it, he would probably be so tight-lipped that he wouldn't reveal a single word.

"Okay, okay, I believe you! Let's go..."

Ye Qiu also became interested. The Immortal King's Tomb? It sounds like it should be a good treasure trove.

If Ye Qiu can make a fortune on this trip, he will sell it, and after passing the system's tricks on a group of kids, he will probably be able to free the Star Stone.

It’s beautiful just thinking about it.

Action speaks louder than words.
