Chapter 264: Tomb (1/2)

Chapter 264: Tomb

The seventy-three mountains towered to the rosy clouds. There were many white cranes and strange birds in this location. However, one could only hear their tweets since they were nowhere in sight.

The mist and fog here were too thick. Even the heavenly gazes from cultivators were useless.

Bi Ningshuai asked: “Hey, Feng Feiyun, aren’t we going to Trinity to kill corpses for points? Why are we here?”

“The hunt is going to last for three years, so there’s no need to rush right now.” Feng Feiyun jumped down from his bull and walked along a path ladened with weed to enter the forest.

Wang Meng, shirtless, carried his sky piercer and followed right behind Feng Feiyun. Bi Ningshuai gave up and came along as well.

The fog became thicker as they went deeper into the forest. It was difficult to see clearly.

They didn’t get too far before Feng Feiyun suddenly stopped. He condensed a yellow glimmer onto his fingertip and unleashed it into the ground. This was the Yellow Earth Art, the last among the five elements of the Minor Change Art. It had the greatest power as well as being the most difficult to cultivate.

Feng Feiyun had been learning this art during this short period of time. Even though he was far from mastering it, he could still utilize some of its power.

The yellow ray entered the ground by creating a small crack. A True Mysterious Spirit Stone the size of a big wine cup flew into his hand.

Even though it was the last among the eighteen stones, it was still quite precious and could sell for at least 200,000 gold coins.

“Damn, you know treasure-seeking techniques as well?” Bi Ningshuai had a confused expression, but his eyes were full of greed while looking at the ground. He smiled and said: “Brother Feng, you are not honest at all. This place must be a treasure ground full of spirit stones, right?”

“Of course not!” Feng Feiyun put away the spirit stone and smiled while walking ahead.

This was his first time here as well, but he found that there were treasures everywhere. After half a day, he dug out seven True Mysterious Spirit Stones, four ancient crimson bronze pieces, and two strange grasses of over five hundred years of age.

This was indeed abnormal. Did treasure masters not come to this area? But that was impossible. Why was it that no one was here to excavate this land full of treasures?

Did the Feng Clan order some experts to protect this area?

‘This must be a treasure ground full of resources and deposits. Feng Feiyun, you think you can deceive me?!’ Bi Ningshuai was following and gritting his teeth while watching Feng Feiyun put one stone into his spatial container after another. If it wasn’t for Feng Feiyun putting it away quickly, he would have tried to steal it.

The value of Feng Feiyun’s successful treasure hunt had exceeded five million gold coins. It was almost equal to the yearly income of a medium-sized immortal gate.

The treasures here were abundant to a frightening level. It was as if no one had searched this place for several thousand years.

After an arduous climb, they saw a river dozens of meters wide. There was a mountain path leading up on the other side, who knows how long it has been since it was created? It carried a sad and ancient feeling.

“Finally, some traces of people. Why do I feel like this isn’t a large mountain and more like a tomb?” Bi Ningshuai had great spiritual sense and felt that something was amiss.

Wang Meng nodded in response: “It does seem like a tomb, but how can it be so large?”

This mountain was several thousand meters high. Its walls consisted of natural rocky foundations and old cypress trees just like an ordinary mountain. It didn’t look like it was man-made.

It was late autumn. At the peak of the mountain were several red leaves fluttering down. They were shaped like little hearts with a fiery jade color while the veins of the leaves resemble blood vessels. This type of leaf was unheard of.

The mountain itself was full of cypress trees, so the entire place was lush with a green hue. There were no red trees around, so where did these strange leaves come from?

Only three leaves like this fell down from the peak. The three of them flew up at the same time and each caught a leaf. They landed to take a careful look and found that these crimson leaves were quite abnormal.

They were as hot as fire, enough to make water in a bucket boil.

“I can smell the faint stench of blood, this is coming from the leaf itself!” Wang Meng felt that there was life in the leaf.

“Oh… heavens… Could this be a legendary Daomization Leaf?” Bi Ningshuai exclaimed in horror and tightly grabbed the leaf in his hand so that it wouldn’t fall down.

“It really is a Daomization Leaf.” Feng Feiyun confirmed his speculation.

A Daomization Tree was much rarer than a Daomization Stone. It was unheard of for a God Base level dynasty to have a Daomization Tree. Who would have thought that this place would have one? It must be growing at the very top of the mountain.

Every single leaf was an incredible treasure for dao-enlightenment. They were also an irresistible temptation for Heaven’s Mandate cultivators.

Even characters of the Giant level would kill each other just for a single leaf.
