Chapter 29: The Radiant Light Furnace

  Yue Zifeng didn't come alone. Along with his fellow disciple, there were over a dozen other cultivators. Among these cultivators, Jiang Feng surprisingly saw a cultivator in the Foundation Building stage. The rest of them were all Qi Refining stage eighth or ninth layer cultivators.

  Yuezi Feng's fellow disciple was called Yue Zihai, who was Yuezi Feng's uncle and younger brother. The relationship between the two had always been good; otherwise, Yuezi Feng would not have waited for so long in Fangshi.

  Just as he was about to ask what's going on, Yue Zifeng pulled Jiang Feng away. He said there were things to discuss along the way. The other cultivators also set off in an instant, heading into the town for unknown purposes.

  Taking advantage of the time when other cultivators left, Jiang Feng only knew that Yue Zihai had discovered a cave not far from here during this departure from Wuxing Sword Sect, and found traces of treasures inside.

  At the same time, several other Qi-refining cultivators were also found there. After everyone's joint efforts, although they entered, they couldn't go deep. After being busy for nearly half a year, hope was finally seen. However, everyone was very tired, and the talismans, elixirs, and medicines on their bodies had been almost consumed. They came to the town to replenish supplies and also contacted their friends.

  That initial foundation stage cultivator was the helper who had just been found. However, it wasn't Yue Zihai who had found him, but rather a fellow sect member of the Golden Cauldron Sword Sect's cultivator who had brought him along.

  Jin Ding Jian Men has a long history of inheritance and is also one of the nine major Tianzongs. More importantly, Jin Ding Jian Men and Wu Xing Jian Zong have some past grievances between them. The two sects don't get along with each other, and both want to suppress the other. The struggle between the two has been going on for many years, back and forth.

  If it weren't for the discovery of that cave, the disciples of Jindeng Sword Sect would still be there, and Yue Zihai really didn't want to get involved with Jindeng Sword Sect. Now seeing a solid foundation period cultivator from Jindeng Sword Sect here, Yue Zihai is somewhat uneasy. He wanted to pull in Yue Zipeng together. Coincidentally, Jiang Feng was also there, and Yue Zihai didn't ask much, thinking that the more people the better, so he pulled Jiang Feng into the group as well.

  Apart from the initial foundation-building monk, everyone else has gone to purchase what they need. Jiang Feng sneaked a glance at the foundation-building monk and whispered to Yue ZiFeng and his brother: "Didn't you forget about that underground cave in Autumn Water City not long ago? How can you still think of exploring it now? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

  "This time is different. Last time was to exorcise the demon, but this time it's very likely that we'll get treasure. And my brother has been struggling there for several months already, can't just give up like that." Yue Zifeng said.

  Jiang Feng pursed his lips and said nothing. He thought to himself, since you don't take advice, I won't bother advising you. Wait until you've suffered a setback, then see if you'll remember the lesson.

  Originally, he was relying on Jiang Feng, hurrying back to the Five Elements Sword Sect, and then quickly raising his cultivation to the Consolidation Period, this is the right thing to do. But as for Yue Zi and Feng, they are also people of the Five Elements Sword Sect, how can they let them go take risks while he doesn't care?

  It wasn't long before all the monks who had left returned. More than a dozen monks immediately flew towards the location of the pit. Jiang Feng also inquired carefully about what was inside the pit, and it turned out that they had spent several months without any gains.

  "I'm telling you, isn't this just a waste of time? After spending several months, there's no harvest at all. It would have been better to inform the sect from the beginning. If that were the case, maybe everything would have been resolved by now." Jiang Feng said.

  Yue Zihai said, "What Jiang Daoyou said, we all know. But if we report this to the sect at this time, even if we get the treasure, I'm afraid we won't gain anything either. It's better to do it ourselves slowly."

  "Didn't gain anything before. Now that I'm back to replenish my ammo and bring two people along, do I have a chance?" Jiang Feng said.

  "Without deceiving fellow Jiang Dao, this time we should have a nine-layer guarantee to break open the tomb in the underground cave," said Yue Zihai.

  Jiang Feng rolled her eyes and said, "It's best if there aren't any zombies in that tomb. If there are, it's best if they're not too powerful or too numerous. Otherwise, it'll be a real hassle."

  Yue Zihai didn't know why Jiang Feng said that, but Yue Zifeng did. Taking advantage of the time flying to the underground cave, Yue Zifeng told Yue Zihai about what happened in Qiushui City. This made Yue Zihai look at Jiang Feng with new eyes.

  The cave was a short half-day's journey from the village. With full-powered flight, it took even less time. By the time they arrived, everyone was stunned.

  At this time, there were no less than a hundred cultivators surrounding the cave. Looking at the entrance of the cave, it was clear that these cultivators wanted to enter the cave.

  At this time, Jiang Feng also knew what the cave looked like. The cave was not a hole on flat ground, but rather an entrance about one person high on a small hillside. It turned out that the cave was inside the mountain.

  Seeing so many cultivators here, Yue Zihai and others knew that something was wrong. It wasn't until they found the original cultivators who stayed behind to guard the earth cave that they realized that shortly after they left, a burst of colorful lights suddenly emerged from the earth cave. All these cultivators were attracted by those colorful lights.

  "Now that they've all arrived, why don't they go in yet?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

  "You think they don't want to go in? It's because they can't get in. I don't know what happened either. Ever since a burst of light flew out from the cave, no one has been able to enter it." said a monk who had stayed behind here.

  Jiang Feng hummed, looked around at the cultivators, and said to Yue Zifeng: "It seems that getting a share is going to be tough. I think we should all be careful, or else we might lose our lives in an instant."

  As he was saying this, before Yue Zifeng could express his opinion, a loud rumbling sound was heard. Next came the violent shaking of the ground beneath their feet, and a large number of rocks flew out from the small hill. Looking towards the small hill, they only saw that the entrance to the cave was continuously spewing out beams of colorful light. Even the top of the small hill had similar rays of light shooting out. Most importantly, the small hill was splitting open. It looked just like when you split a steamed bun in half.

  Rocks inside the small mountain shot out like cannonballs. The rays of light bursting from the cracked mountain grew more and more numerous, soon merging into a large sheet.

  All the monks gathered here retreated backward. The flying stones were not a joke. If they hit, they might die directly. And those halos, looked harmless. But who can be sure there's no danger?

  In less than a minute, Xiaoyue completely split open. A large amount of colorful light burst out from the crack. These lights no longer scattered aimlessly like before, but began to gather together.

  Many Taoists looked up at the glimmering lights, wondering what was inside the small mountain. At this time, a strong fragrance of medicine wafted out from the cracked small mountain. The Taoists smelled the fragrance and were extremely excited. Because this fragrance suggested that there might be treasures like elixirs inside the cracked small mountain.

  The fragrance continued, and another change occurred inside the small mountain. Black dots flew out from the cracked small mountain one after another. The monks here saw those flying things and immediately chased after them.

  Those halos, at this time, converged into a huge cauldron. On the cauldron, there were still three strands of green smoke rising. From inside the cauldron, even more dazzling halos were emitted.
