Chapter 183 Thousand Caves
After the distribution, Duan Rushong said, "Before we came here, we said that if we got the Fantasy Spirit Grass, we would return to Yuling City directly. Now that the Fantasy Spirit Grass has been lost, each person has only gained one spiritual stone. Now only ten days have passed in a month, and it is still early for the Immortal Knocking Conference to start. Let's talk about whether we still want to go to Qianku Cave to find the Jade Spirit Marrow?"
If it were usual, the harvest of one spiritual stone would not be small, but just now we experienced the loss of the Fantasy Spirit Grass, and the treasure worth more than 100 spiritual stones was almost obtained, so everyone looked down on this spiritual stone.
The monk Wujing and the itinerant doctor looked at each other and said, "We are both nearly 40 years old. This Knocking Immortal Conference is probably the last chance. If we don't fight again, let alone joining the Immortal Gate, we may not even have the possibility of breaking through the Qi Refining Stage in this life, so we have to go to Qianku Cave this time."
"My fellow disciples also agree to go to Qianku Cave to fight." Yuan Datong said as soon as the monk Wujing finished speaking, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind long ago. Before leaving, Qi Juegui gave them an antidote for the bone-penetrating nail. At this time, Shen Ertong had recovered. Except for his ugly face, his strength was not greatly affected.
Lu Dingshan's attitude was also very straightforward. He turned his head to look at Qingyang, and then said directly: "We will do whatever everyone says. We have no objection."
It was Aunt Yun's turn. She looked at Yun Xiaomei who was still injured, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We all came together. Since everyone agrees, let's go too."
Aunt Yun's attitude was reluctant. Her daughter's injury was not healed, and she didn't know if she would encounter danger again when she arrived at Qianku Cave. However, she also knew that even if she didn't want to go at this time, she couldn't. Everyone else had to go. How could the mother and daughter return to Yuling City alone?
There were many dangers along the way. Not to mention other monsters, just the demon fox, wild wolf monster, and bloodthirsty vine that everyone had experienced, just encountering any of them would be enough for the mother and daughter to have a headache. If there were more people, they could take care of each other. If there were fewer people, there would be no one to collect the body if they died.
Everyone quickly agreed that Qianku Cave must be visited. In order to track the demon fox today, everyone was exhausted and needed a good rest, so they stayed in Yehu Ridge to rest at night and set off again early tomorrow morning.
After a night of rest, everyone regained their fighting spirit and headed towards Qianku Cave in high spirits. No one remembers the original name of the place where Qianku Cave is located, but everyone is still relatively clear about its location.
It is about 800 miles from Yehu Ridge to Qianku Cave, and it only takes four days to travel at full speed. However, Yun Xiaomei in the team has not recovered from her injuries, and Zhong Santong has a little inconvenience in his legs and feet, so the speed is not fast at all. It was not until the afternoon of the fifth day that they arrived at the Qianku Cave area.
There were some dangers encountered by everyone along the way, but compared with the previous wild wolf demon beast, it was not worth mentioning. So after five days, not only did no more injuries appear in the team, but even Yun Xiaomei and Zhong Santong gradually recovered. As for the skin injuries suffered by Qingyang and others before, they were completely healed a few days ago, and now even the scars can't be seen.
The scope of Qianku Cave is very large, and the underground mines are even wider than the scope of Yehuli. Before, no one thought it was difficult to find the jade spirit marrow in Qianku Cave. When they really came to the scope of Qianku Cave, they realized that their previous thoughts were too simple.
At least Yehu Ridge has the notes of predecessors to refer to, but Qianku Cave is troublesome. There is not even a sign. How to search such a large scope? Is it like in Yehu Ridge, divided into several groups to search bit by bit? Not only is the scope on the ground here large, but the underground mines are even more complicated, and there is no way to find it.
After walking a distance, Duan Rushong couldn't help but stop and asked: "Fellow Daoist Helan, it's not a good idea for us to search aimlessly like this. Didn't you find out clearly before, where exactly is the jade spirit vein, and which hole to go down from?"
Helan Feng was a little embarrassed. Compared with the information about the phantom grass provided by Duan Rushong before, his information was too rough. He was embarrassed and said: "I was too excited when I got the news, and forgot to look up relevant information. I only remember that they said to enter from a mine hole in the north direction. The specific location needs to be found by yourself."
"How to find it? There are hundreds of holes outside the Qianku Cave alone, and the mine tunnels inside are even more interconnected. By the time we find the mine, it is estimated that the Immortal Knocking Conference will be over." Yuan Datong couldn't help complaining.
"You don't know that you can ask me about the golden abacus. It's clear and fair." At this time, an abrupt voice came from the side.
"Who?" Helan Feng shouted.
Everyone was so busy talking that they didn't notice someone was secretly following them. If the other party hadn't suddenly spoken, the secrets about the jade spirit might have been heard by the other party.
As soon as He Lanfeng finished speaking, the leaves of a big tree in front moved, and a short and fat man jumped down from the tree. This man was about thirty years old, not tall, short and fat, with a smiling face, and an abacus under his arm, looking like a local rich man in the countryside.
The short and fat man bowed to everyone and said, "My surname is Jin, and I am Jin Suanpan, a casual cultivator in Yuling City."
He Lanfeng didn't like this short and fat man who suddenly appeared, and asked coldly, "Why are you eavesdropping on us?"
The Golden Abacus was not angry because of Helan Feng's attitude, but continued to say with a smile: "This Taoist friend misunderstood. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you or listen to your secrets. I just wanted to do business with you."
Doing business? What kind of business at this time? This is not a place for doing business? Helan Feng was very suspicious of this so-called Golden Abacus, but he planned to find out the situation first, so he asked calmly: "What business?"
"Of course it's about the business of the jade spirit marrow vein. Taoist friends came to Qianku Cave, didn't they just look for the jade spirit marrow?" The Golden Abacus said carelessly.
After hearing what the Golden Abacus said, everyone was shocked. How did this guy know that everyone was looking for the jade spirit marrow? Did he hear everything he said just now? How much did he know? Or was this guy also looking for the jade spirit marrow? Then why did he stay here? Was he trying to stop everyone? Does this guy have other accomplices? The news of the jade spirit marrow is too important, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Should he kill them to silence them?
