Chapter 62: Yu Yang Gate (Third Update)
The next day.
In the lower province, near the border area, at the foot of a dense forest in the southwest, an old man with a slender figure was agilely climbing back and forth on the mountain road.
Behind the old man, there was also a young man carrying a plaster cast.
These two men were Feng Muzhe and Feng Qifan.
After walking and climbing on the rugged mountain road for about a day, the two of them gradually approached a deep valley gorge, looking ahead at the light clouds swirling around, seemingly bottomless mountain ravine.
In Feng Qifan's heart, it was still a shocking and unbelievable fact, even though he had known about this for more than a day. He couldn't believe that his own family, the Fengs, had such incredible power behind their backs. What's more, he was astonished to find out that the famous primitive ecological reserve in the lower province was actually a hidden place of retreat for a cultivation sect.
"Masters, and our martial arts training, are similar in that we must step by step from nothing to something, climbing to the peak. However, in the secular world, a strong Spirit Movement period is rare, but in the world of cultivating immortals, those who can compare to the Spirit Movement period are not uncommon. In the mountain gate, there are many such strong practitioners, if they were to take action against that Xu Yu, it would be an easy capture." Before arriving at the deep valley, even Feng Mu Zhe had broken out in a cold sweat.
But at this time, Feng Mu Zhe still had an excited look on his face, jumping up and down.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, he also felt a sense of nostalgia. It had been more than ten years since he last set foot here.
Only because there wasn't a genius treasure good enough did he not dare disturb the cultivators in seclusion within the mountain gate.
As Feng Mu Zhe spoke, Feng Qi Fan also nodded slightly. He had already learned about the general situation of cultivators from this grandfather. For novice cultivators who had just started cultivating, the first realm was to cultivate their spirit, which was similar to a warrior's physical training. Above that was building one's foundation.
However, the specific cultivation of a master is fundamentally different from martial arts training.
Wiping away the sweat, Feng Mu Zhe suddenly pulled out a peculiarly-shaped jade token from his bosom. Then, with a crunch, he crushed the jade token in his palm, and from his hand, a red glow burst forth, shooting into the depths of the mountain valley.
After doing all this, Feng Muzhe sat cross-legged in front of the mountain stream and began to recover his internal energy.
This made Feng Qi Fan look surprised and uncertain, and he cautiously approached Feng Mu Zhe, saying "Grandfather?"
"That's the transmission jade token, I've already informed the people inside the mountain gate. Now, all we can do is wait." Feng Mu Zhe glanced at Feng Qi Fan before explaining with a faint smile.
"What?" Feng Qifan was taken aback once again.
"Fortunately, due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in modern times, the hidden Xianmen sects in these mountains and rivers are mostly closed off, preventing the spiritual energy within from flowing into the secular world. Only when there is an important matter will they open their mountain gates. The main hall of a sect is also the foundation for the continuation of the entire sect, so the ability to open and close the mountain gates usually only lies with the elders or masters of a sect. After receiving my transmission jade slip, the guardian disciples of our Liuyangmen will naturally go report to the sect's elders and masters. However, if they are in closed-door meditation, then we can only wait until they come out."
"However, in general, at the Yu Yang Gate, there will be at least one elder responsible for matters within the mountain. After a short while, or perhaps several days, we can enter."
Feng Mu Zhe smiled again and said, "This time, you have made a great contribution. If the elders inside the sect find out that we've discovered a treasure in the secular world that can gather spiritual energy, we can absorb the thin spiritual energy from the secular world into our mountain gate, making the spiritual energy of our entire Linyin Gate even more abundant. Just this one point is enough to make everyone's heart move. Who knows, maybe they'll even treat your injuries!"
With these words, Feng Qifan finally felt at ease, but immediately became excited again. Would his arm really have a day of complete recovery?
Xu Yu? He will definitely make that guy regret everything he did that day!
Then, Feng Qifan also started to repair like Feng Muzhe. When he was hungry, he would hunt for food in the nearby dense forest. When he was thirsty, he would pick wild fruits and look for spring water. The two of them stayed there for several days.
Four days later, in the originally peaceful valley, a handful of gorgeous light suddenly emerged, and then, in front of the mountain stream that was originally empty, a bridge of light floating in the air suddenly appeared, step by step leading to the bottomless abyss.
"The mountain gate is open!!"
Upon seeing such a strange sight, Feng Mu Zhe, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a surge of joy and jumped up from where he was sitting, his face filled with excitement, just like Feng Qi Fan, who also became wildly excited.
Then the two of them, one in front and one behind, stepped onto the downward-sloping light bridge, until they disappeared step by step into the mountain stream, and everything was completely gone.
However, just half a day later, Guangqiao reappeared, and then, five figures in a row flew out of the mountain stream.
"Haha, great! Not bad! Mu Zhe, this time you've made a great contribution to our sect. As long as we get that treasure, our sect will definitely help you break through to the Spirit Movement stage!"
After the first few figures flew out of the light bridge, another steady figure emerged, walking step by step along the light bridge. It was Feng Muzhe.
Just as Feng Mu Zhe set foot on the ground, another middle-aged man with a lean face flew out from behind, holding his sword. Upon arriving above the valley, he suddenly burst into a brilliant laughter.
As he burst out laughing, all six people in the valley below also started laughing.
Is it the treasure that can absorb spiritual energy? As soon as this news came out, the entire Yuanyang Gate was thoroughly shaken. To think that they were just an ordinary cultivation sect and didn't even have the secret method of setting up a Spirit Gathering Array within their sect.
Without the Spirit Gathering Array, it is impossible to obtain a more concentrated spiritual energy. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, the precious and rare heavenly treasures required by various cultivators cannot be nurtured. In the long run, the development of the entire sect will naturally stagnate.
But who would have thought that this time, the Feng family under Yu Yang Gate would actually provide such an enticing piece of news?
How can this not shock people and make them feel surprised?
As for those who hold that treasure, in the secular world, they have a certain background and power? These, to them cultivators, are not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, the other party was originally a cultivator and could display a Tianxuan-level martial skill that rivaled the power of the Lingdong period. This is still not worth mentioning! The six of them were already the majority of the elite in the Liuyang Gate, except for the last elder who stayed behind to guard the gate. Six foundation-building strongmen joining forces could be compared to six high-ranking experts in the Lingdong period. To kill that person with one blow was not a difficult task at all.
I have something on tonight and might be back late, so I'll send the third update ahead of schedule.
