Ch 347 - Hidden Treasure Location
…
…
…
Zhou Xinyu knew that the reason Lin Ming had taken such a big risk and risked his own life was for the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal. If Lin Ming had not helped him, he would never have survived this calamity, let alone have any hope of reviving the Moon Seizing Sect.
The reason he made this choice was because he was forced by circumstances …
Thinking of this, Zhou Xinyu felt much better in her heart. He whispered, “I have a hidden treasure key in me. As for where it was, it was within the South Sea, which was located on the Dark Moon Island. ”
"Dark Moon Island?" Lin Ming was stunned for a moment. These past few months, he had read many ancient texts, and had a much better understanding of the major powers of the South Horizon Region, as well as local customs, conditions, and geography. As for Dark Moon Island, it was a place he had read about. It was a dangerous area in the South Sea, and was the eye of the South Sea's Yin Earth pulse. Throughout the year, Frost Yin energy was gathered there. It is said that in ancient times, unparalleled wars had taken place on the island, and many powerhouses had died.
Since then, bone-chilling winds and black fog covered the island all year round, and many ferocious and vicious ghosts and other ferocious beasts were there. Just a cold wind by itself was dangerous for Pulse Condensation martial artists. As for the ghosts and other dangerous residents on the island, there were many powerhouses comparable to Houtian masters, and it was even said that there was a Ghost King on par with a Xiantian master.
Thinking this, Lin Ming frowned, "Your Seizing Moon Sect actually placed their treasures in such a location?"
"Md. Yes, Dark Moon Island is rarely visited and is mostly inaccessible, so it is much safer. Sir Lin might not know, but 1000 years ago, the South Horizon Region did not really want to participate in the siege of Silent Demon Emperor City. On the contrary, it could be said that they were also forced. The strength of Silent Demon Emperor City was immense, even the entire coalition army together was no greater than Silent Demon Emperor City. In that war, the Moon Seizing Sect did have a harvest, but the losses were severe, countless sect masters fell from the sky. If the treasure was kept in the Moon Seizing Sect, it might have been looted in the years since then .. "As Zhou Xinyu spoke, she sighed. He remembered the glorious and incredible history of the Moon Seizing Sect, but also their recent destruction; it really made his heart ache.
100-year dynasty, 1000-year sect, 10,000-year Holy Land. For a third-rate sect to last one or two thousand years was already a long period of time.
Lin Ming nodded. Indeed, if not so, then the Moon Seizing Sect would suffer a disaster in their weakened country, and all of their treasures would be looted. "But ... even if it was Dark Moon Island, could it stop the extreme Xiantian master?"
"An extreme Xiantian master would naturally not find Dark Moon Island dangerous. However, the black stone of Dark Moon Island can inhibit and prevent the perception of the soul. As long as the secret door was hidden underground, it was almost impossible to find it. Moreover, the Dark Moon Island was an extremely vast land. Without a guide, a Xiantian master could spend several years on Dark Moon Island and still not find the location where my sect hid their treasures. ”
"I understand ..." Lin Ming realized that going to the Dark Moon Island was not the best choice. If he became confused and walked in danger, things would be bad.
Zhou Xinyu looked at Lin Ming's worries and said, "The Dark Moon Island is dangerous, but my sect has also abandoned clever techniques to avoid danger, so it's not too risky. ”
"Then I had to trouble Miss Zhou to guide me at that moment .... earlier, I also heard Miss Zhou say that the hidden treasures of the Moon Seize Sect included a total of the remaining 12 Shattered Demon Heart Crystals? And there were also many methods of planting jade slips, rare and precious pills, materials, treasures and weapons, true essence stones, and so on? ”
Zhou Xinyu bit her lips and nodded. His sect was a third-rate sect that had prospered for a thousand years. Although they had declined thereafter, they still had a rich heritage and heritage. The total wealth and resources they had accumulated over the years was a number that ordinary martial artists could hardly imagine.
"Miss Zhou, you said that if I help you, you will share the treasure with me. How about we discuss how we're going to divide the treasure now? "Lin Ming said casually.
Zhou Xinyu's heart stiffened. He was at the end of a very weak negotiating table, without any burden to add to his words. If he was forced by Lin Ming, he could say something like 'Hidden treasure is the basis for the awakening of my Moon Seizing Sect.If you want to take it, then you must kill me first.', You must kill me first. ', or something like that .
But now, he had asked Lin Ming to help him on his own initiative, and also agreed to share the hidden treasures with him. Lin Ming had saved him several times, and during this entire process, he had only added to the chaos without being able to help at all Because of the above, he was too embarrassed to refuse anything; he could only hope that Lin Ming's demands were not too harsh.
Lin Ming thought for a moment and said, "I don't want the jade planting method to slip, nor do I want a true essence stone, treasure weapon or armor. If there are some Heaven Opening Pills, then I will take some. And if there are some other treasures I am interested in, we can negotiate. As for the 12 Shattered Demon Heart Crystals, I will take 10! ”
Lin Ming was crazy for these Shattered Demon Heart Crystals; that was the reason why he was risking his life. The crystals were his hope to continue the Tempering Marrow settlement. With 10 Shattered Heart Crystals and more Heaven Opening Pills, he wondered what percentage of Tempering Marrow he could complete.
Zhou Xinyu listened to Lin Ming's request. Although he was somewhat depressed, he knew that Lin Ming did not ask for much. Or, it is better to say that nothing else is of interest to him.
Also, he had no room for further bargaining.
The truth was that for the revival of the sect, it did not depend on top medicines like the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal, but rather on inherited cultivation methods, true essence stones, or even more, and a large amount of treasures and basic pills. These are the ingredients that most beginner students can use.
He bit his lip and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lin. ”
"Then Miss Zhou, I should trouble you to follow me for the next few days. If you don't mind, can you give me the key to look after? '' Lin Ming eyes narrowed. Although his approach was somewhat evil, he could not rely on the heart of someone he did not know. Zhou Xinyu probably ran off somewhere when she wasn't looking.
As Zhou Xinyu listened to Lin Ming's disbelief in him, she became enraged. Her beautiful eyes lit up to him, and then she finally angrily opened her collar and took out the pendant, throwing it at Lin Ming as she coldly said, "The key is inside, you can pick it up. ”
Lin Ming touched this pendant which carried the warmth of Zhou Xinyu's body. It had a very unique shape, like a ceremonial dagger. As he sensed it with his soul force, Lin Ming was surprised to find that there was a pocket dimension within it. This pendant was actually a storage treasure, like a spatial ring. Also, the value is quite high.
There is only one item inside. It was a beautiful hexagonal box that was gold and red in color, less than three inches wide, large enough to be placed in the center of the palm. The wood looked like it was made of metal, but it felt warm, and the full moon was etched on the surface.
With further investigation, this key wood was extremely strange, emitting an ancient breath. At the very least, it was not a fake and he did not have to worry about Zhou Xinyu somehow deceiving him while he was traveling with her for the next few days.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Zhou. "Although Lin Ming seemed grateful, he did not imply that he was letting Zhou Xinyu go.
Zhou Xinyu did not speak angrily; it was unknown what she was thinking.
With a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Lin Ming cleared a corner in the cave to sit down and recover his true essence. Zhou Xinyu also sat in front of the wall opposite to Lin Ming and meditated as well. After twisting his true essence a few times, he felt sleepy, and leaned against the stone wall to rest.
He was really tired; he had not slept a full night. For Pulse Condensation period martial artists, a sleepless night was nothing. But before Zhou Xinyu came here, she had fled through the Southern Wilderness for four to five days without rest until she arrived at Green Mulberry City. Then, soon, a fierce war with a savage wave had erupted, and he had to flee that very night. After which, Lin Ming went through an intense battle due to the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal, and Zhou Xinyu had to wait very anxiously for three hours while the dreamland enchantment slowly dissipated. Now that he could finally loosen his guard, he was naturally sleepy.
Zhou Xinyu rested for three or four hours, and when she woke up it was already afternoon. The barren mountain was still a wilderness. As Zhou Xinyu was sleeping, she kept a little of her guard up. Feeling Lin Ming leave, he didn't really care. As he stepped out of the cave, he saw that Lin Ming had cleared an open space, made a fire, and roasted two rabbits.
In these sparsely populated hills, there were some natural enemies, so the rabbits were fat. Their entire bodies were roasted in gold, and a fragrant aroma wafted in the air.
Smelling this delicious scent, Zhou Xinyu was immediately hungry. He hasn't eaten in most days and nights.
He was quite happy eating this roasted rabbit food. When he finished eating, he licked his finger happily. He did not think that Lin Ming would have this kind of skill; the taste of the barbecue was so good.
Lin Ming got up and said, "Before we go to Dark Moon Island, I will have to make some preparations. So, I have to trouble Miss Zhou over the next few days …
Green Mulberry City –
After the chaos overnight due to Huang Zixuan, the army camp finally found one thing – Zhu Ping was missing.
The entire camp searched for him tirelessly, but could not even find his body. Even the scouts reported that they did not see Zhu Ping leaving the camp. It was as if he was vaporizing into the air.
When the investigation reached this point, the high-level character of Green Mulberry had a faint guess about what had happened. Zhu Ping had been killed, and it was someone who had a grudge against him. For that person to be able to kill him in the camp without raising a single sound, there was only one.
When Lin Wanshan, Zhuang Fan, Lin Wuyin, and the others realized this, their skin became extremely ugly. They did not have the qualifications to question Lin Ming's decision, nor did they dare, but the problem was that Lin Ming had been chased by a group of masters and was missing, and the commander of their forces had also been killed.
What would they do if the wave of savage came again?
Everyone was nervous like ants in a hot frying pan, until the afternoon of the second day, Qin Ziya and his group arrived at Green Mulberry City with their Heavenly Wind Eagles.
There were dozens of Heavenly Wind Eagles with two or three masters each. With a large group flying overhead, the guards instantly panicked, making reports of chaos to the headquarters.
Lin Wanshan and everyone rushed over.
Heaven!
There are over 100 masters! Looking at their true essence fluctuations, if they were not at the Pulse Condensation period, then they were at the Houtian realm!
Lin Wanshan and everyone were shocked. What the hell is going on? Amidst the raging beast tide, over a hundred masters actually came. They know what this means. This could be the savior of their Green Mulberry City. But, why did they come here?
They did not recognize the white-clothed man leading them, but there were people who recognized the two behind him.
"That ... weren't both Mister Muyi and Miss Qin from the Marshal Place?" Zhuang Fan looked at Qin Xingxuan and Muyi who were standing on top of the Heavenly Wind Eagle. He had seen Muyi and Qin Xingxuan before. But right now, they were definitely still in Sky Fortune City.
