The remnant soul's expression changed instantly; this person was even more troublesome than a ghost!
He also realized that by saying these things, he had probably made the other party guess that there were other foundation-building materials hidden in the Yinshan Sect ruins.
A wave of fear washed over him. If the sect leader found out, he would certainly not let him off the hook!
Thinking of this, he immediately recited a few incantations.
"puff!"
The moment he finished reciting, his soul seemed to vanish on the spot...
The three exchanged a glance, all feeling somewhat incredulous.
"This person was actually willing to have his soul destroyed to keep a secret?"
Chen Yi stroked his chin. This Yinshan Sect is truly extraordinary!
"Tsk tsk tsk! Junior Brother Chen Yi, am I seeing things? That Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python is actually driven by you?" Zhou Lianfeng said with a meaningful look.
Chen Yi's actions once again exceeded his expectations.
He was originally supposed to be able to help Chen Yi in the secret realm, but now he has become a mere supporting character.
Seeing that Chen Yi remained silent, Zhou Lianfeng asked again, "What about the Nine Nether Grass?"
This is what he cares about most.
Chen Yi sighed inwardly: In the heat of the moment, I released him and forgot about this...
However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to confront Zhou Lianfeng.
He readily admitted, "Yes, we have obtained the Nine Nether Grass."
"Hahaha! Junior brother is truly a talent!" Zhou Lianfeng exclaimed with delight.
Having lived this long, he's become quite shrewd and knows what's good and what's not.
For example, even though he knows that Chen Yi has obtained more than one Nine Nether Grass, and that it is even quite old, he will not say so openly.
He said with a smile, "Oh dear! Now it's easy to report back to Principal Ma!"
Chen Yi smiled slightly and got straight to the point: "Brother Feng, I know you want to regain your freedom. How about we trust each other this time?"
"Oh! Junior brother, you're too kind. I know, I know! Some things are good for you, and they're good for me too!" Zhou Lianfeng waved his hand.
When they first met, he thought Chen Yi was just a kid who hadn't even grown up yet, but now, he truly saw hope for regaining his freedom in him.
With a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, one can command a Foundation Establishment demon. Such a skill will surely lead to a bright future.
If he still can't see it, then he's truly stupid.
"Brother Feng is indeed a smart man!" Chen Yi nodded.
Dealing with Zhou Lianfeng can be considered as putting an end to a potential problem.
"Chen Yi, have you noticed that the fog in the mountains is thinning?" Yu Qian suddenly asked.
Chen Yi glanced outside the temple and indeed found that the fog was not as thick as before.
"Could it be... those two statues?"
He glanced back at the two damaged statues in the hall.
To be precise, they should be the remnants of two Yinshan sect souls that once resided in the stone statue.
It was their magic that caused the entire Yinshan Secret Realm to be shrouded in mist.
Now that they are dead, the mist has dissipated.
"The fog is gone, and my geomancy can see more things now..." Yu Qian suddenly said excitedly.
Previously, the fog had hindered her exploration at every turn, but now the view has been completely clear.
Chen Yi and Wu Lingyao exchanged a glance and saw a glimmer of new hope.
"Then you should calculate it carefully."
Chen Yi also took the opportunity to learn some geomancy techniques from Yu Qian.
This art of geomancy is a feng shui technique that involves observing the heavens and surveying the earth. It is called "Kan" (堪) for the heavens and "Yu" (舆) for the earth. It involves compasses, Xuan Kong Feng Shui, and burial methods. A geomancer is very important for finding blessed lands and opportunities for spiritual cultivation.
Some powerful figures will even hire a geomancer to accompany them to places of opportunity.
He observed Yu Qian's behavior while asking her questions.
Before I knew it, I had gained some understanding of feng shui.
[Through your efforts, your Feng Shui skills have improved; Proficiency +3]
He thought to himself: If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to learn all the arts of immortal cultivation!
After several hours of exploration, Yu Qian finally discovered something.
"Based on celestial phenomena and terrestrial veins, the ruins of the Yinshan Sect are most likely located in the mountains to the southwest."
"Let's go then!"
Chen Yi whistled, and the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python came to a steady stop in front of him.
The three people and the puppet jumped up at the same time.
Even the Reggae Red Gold Python probably never imagined that one day it would become a personal driver...
On the way to the Yinshan Sect ruins, Chen Yi was also studying thunder magic.
Previously, he had no opportunity to master a thunder technique, but now, thanks to the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, he has the good fortune to learn about thunder techniques.
Although the demonic magic he used was the result of blood fusion, which differed from the spells of human cultivators and was not as powerful as the Crimson Gold Python's own, he had at least mastered a semi-finished thunder magic, which had a strong restraint on evil spirits.
Moreover, from now on, drawing thunder and fire talismans will no longer require being struck by lightning.
At the speed of the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, it took about half an hour to reach the southwest of Yin Mountain.
However, the area is full of rocks, and there is no way to enter the mountain.
"Are you sure the Yinshan Sect ruins are hidden inside this mountain?" Chen Yi asked.
Yu Qian nodded. "Don't rush, let me observe for a while longer. We should be able to find the entrance soon."
Chen Yi wasn't in a hurry and continued to learn geomancy from Yu Qian.
Another ten minutes passed, and they arrived at a complete rock.
“This is it, break it.” Yu Qian said with great certainty.
With a thought, Chen Yi unleashed a powerful whip-like attack from the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python.
"Boom!"
The palace-sized boulder shattered with a crash, revealing a dark cave.
Just to be on the safe side, Chen Yi first sent the puppet inside to scout the way.
But a few minutes later, the puppet turned back.
“There’s only one empty road inside, and I don’t know where it leads,” Chen Yi murmured.
With his strength, he could only make the puppet move within a hundred meters of him; it couldn't move any further.
"Let's go in and find out!" Yu Qian said excitedly.
You should know that what she has discovered is the ruins of the Yinshan Sect, not a village, a pond, or a temple that has been trodden over countless times.
"And you?"
Chen Yi looked at Wu Lingyao.
The latter nodded in agreement: "I'd like to go in and take a look too."
"Alright, charge!"
Chen Yi directly commanded the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python into the cave.
At first the passage was very wide, but as you went deeper, it became narrow.
The Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python could not freely change its size, and upon reaching this point, it could no longer proceed.
It tried to widen the passage, but attracted a large number of falling rocks, which almost blocked the passage.
"You stay here for now." Chen Yi had no choice but to instruct it to stay.
The three continued to explore deeper into the area.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a short distance, the entire mountain began to shake violently.
A barrage of stones rained down on the three of them, a barrage comparable to several machine guns.
"There's a trap!"
The three of them used their own methods to dodge the rubble.
"Click-click-click!"
At this moment, the rock strata on the mountainside began to move continuously.
By the time Chen Yi realized what was happening, he was all alone.
"Welcome to our sacred land! It has not been in vain that we have been lying in wait here for so many years, hollowing out the mountain and setting up this Earth Dragon Soaring Array as a protective array for our sect. You and your companions have been separated, and the two elders and I will take good care of you..." A gloomy voice echoed in the empty mountain.
Immediately afterwards, a figure draped in white burial clothes emerged from the darkness: "I am very grateful to you for bringing back the red phosphorescent fire for me..."
