Three days later.
Xu Mu arrived at Cui Ling Marketplace.
After getting the latest information and confinning that there was no immediate matter regarding Luo Family, he purchased a locating magic artifact and ventured into the Cloud Peak Mountain Range.
The locating magic artifact was somewhat like a compass from his previous life, helping cultivators determine their direction.
The location on the map was quite far off. If he didn’t have the locating magic artifact, he might have had to take many detours.
As soon as he entered deep into the mountain range, he took caution, hiding his presence and casting the Invisibility Technique!
Whenever he perceived any irregularities on his way, he’d rather take a roundabout route rather than risk danger.
In this way, it took him more than half a month to finally reach the spot marked on the map.
“Did I get it wrong? Or is there an error with the map?”
Before Xu Mu’s eyes, there was only a solitary small hill. Nothing else existed.
Refusing to concede, Xu Mu hunted through the small hill inch by inch three or four times, but didn’t obtain anything.
“Did I just make a wasted trip?”
Although he anticipated this sort of situation might occur before he set off, he felt an unavoidable sense of loss when it actually happened.
“What kind of treasure could a Qi Cultivator hold? Maybe I was just being too naive!”
Xu Mu sighed.
“But, I sure as heck don’t want to go to that woman, do I?!”
The woman Xu Mu referred to was Lan Shijin, the non-human entity he had encountered when he came from White River City.
She was extraordinary, and she was likely to have the Dragon Heart Nine-Leaf Clover.
This was another reason he came to the Cloud Peak Mountain Range.
Xiao Yi’s map, on the other hand, seemed more like a chance of luck.
Xu Mu pulled out the map for further research, staring at the two characters marked at the endpoint.
“Yue Chen?”
He had been pondering over the meaning of these two words all the way.
Unfortunately, he could not figure it out.
These two words seem like scene names, specific times, and some kind of code.
“If ‘Yue’ refers to the moon, then ‘Chen’ might refer to the stars. Could it be waiting for a night with stars and the moon for the treasure to open?”
Xu Mu stroked his chin and mused.
Does a Qi Cultivator’s treasure need to be this dramatic?
It’s like Alibaba!
“If it needs a specific moment, under a specific environment to open…”
Xu Mu’s heart suddenly pounded.
It seems somewhat like the legendary secret realm!
“Let’s wait for a few days!”
Having come so far, he couldn’t just glance at the place and leave.
After careful consideration, Xu Mu decided to wait for a while to see what happens.
He had already travelled a great distance, so a bit more time didn’t matter.
He had left an Communication Array at home. If there was an emergency, Lan Shijin would naturally relay the message to him.
Next, Xu Mu established a temporary cave dwelling on the mountain and set up several Alert Arrays nearby. If anything unusual happened, he would be able to detect them immediately.
Xu Mu did not put all his hopes on the elusive treasure. Over the next few days, he occasionally went out and continued searching the area.
Rumble!
A monster beast, as majestic as a small mountain, with its eyes red, started to chase after Xu Mu ferociously.
Each step it took caused pebbles to scatter and forced age-old trees, large enough for a man to wrap his hands around, to shatter apart.
“I just stole one of your spiritual medicines, was that really necessary?”
Xu Mu, who was desperately dodging in the forest, said helplessly.
The monster beast didn’t stop, relentlessly pursuing him.
Not wanting to tangle with the beast any further, Xu Mu cast the Invisibility Technique and vanished from the spot.
Roar!
The monster beast roared. Suddenly stamping its foot, numerous thorns erupted from the ground, reaching meters into the sky.
Bang!
Xu Mu’s figure appeared out of the void.
“Big guy! You’re seeking your own death!”
Xu Mu’s eyes turned cold.
Caw!
The red crow instantly flew out from his body, letting out a piercing cry. Invisible sonic waves swept out in all directions.
Roar!
The monster beast swayingly stood, its eyes reddening further, and it issued a counter roar.
The red crow suddenly flew up into the sky. With each flap of its wings, countless fireballs condensed in the air and were launched towards the monster beast.
Bracing, the monster beast had a pale yellow light surge over its body, forming numerous earth spikes that shot towards the red crow in the air.
The fireballs and earthen spikes collided, causing continuous explosions in the sky.
