The old man chuckled and said to the young man sitting there, "So it's a little devil from Maoshan. I didn't expect you to sneak in here quietly..."

  The old man said this with a hint of praise, but then his tone suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "What's the use, you still broke my formation?"

  The man in the deep blue Taoist robe looked at the old man with clear eyes and said in a clear voice, "No need to waste words, if you want to fight, let's fight. Although I am younger than you, if I have any fear in my heart because of this, it would go against the teachings of our sect!"

  "Listen, kid. If you know what's good for you, apologize and show some respect to your elder, Ghost Bone. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you off the hook..." The old man who called himself Ghost Bone sneered, seemingly not taking the young man seriously.

  That young man suddenly burst out laughing: "Guī Gǔzi, you've always been decisive and ruthless, but today, facing Xiao Mou this junior, you're actually talking so much. Could it be that you're injured to the point where you can't even defeat me?"

  "Xiao Yuanzi! It's your master who has arrived, and you should show respect when you see me. What are you worth? Get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Guiguzi scolded with a ferocious expression.

  Xiao Yuan's faint smile, clear eyes, and fearless expression already conveyed a very obvious meaning.

  Ghost Bone's dark passage has succeeded! The words he said afterwards, didn't they make this little guy see through his own secrets? If it weren't for himself having just fought with that old woman and injuring his vital energy, how would he be afraid of this young man who had just come out of the village?

  Just as the two were facing off, the giant boulder under Xiao Yuan suddenly shook slightly. Lin Qingyao and Yin Yishu exchanged a glance, their spirits lifted. It seemed that this time, a treasure was indeed going to be unearthed. If they could take advantage of the situation, it wouldn't be a wasted trip after all.

  Just as Lin Qingyao's mind turned for a moment, the boulder suddenly shattered into several pieces out of thin air, and the entire mountain began to shake violently.

  Xiao Yuan's body soared into the air, and then he continuously struck the ground with his spiritual seal, activating the array that had been laid out earlier, wanting to calm down the earthquake.

  That ghostly figure standing in mid-air not far away was staring at Xiao Yu with cold eyes, without making a move, as if waiting for the right moment.

  At this time, the sky was completely dark, and even Lin Qingyao's excellent eyesight couldn't see things clearly in front of her. She could only vaguely feel people moving around and flashes of spiritual light constantly flickering.

  Guī gǔ zǐ zhōng yú dòng le, tā sì hū cóng shǒu zhōng ná chū le yī ge líng dāng yí yàng de fǎ bǎo, tā qīng qīng yī huàn, méi yǒu shēng yīn, lín qīng yáo què shì qīng xǐ de qiáo jiàn le xiāo yuǎn zhī de shēn xíng wēi wēi huàn huàn!

  Lin Qingyao secretly clenched her fists, she really didn't want this old man who looked like he wasn't a good person to suppress Xiao Yuanzi.

  Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth, glanced at Gui Guzi in the sky, and casually threw out a turtle shell-like object. The object flew through the air, emitting a pale blue glow that blocked Gui Guzi's attack.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yuan's hands quickly formed several seals, and a faint light suddenly appeared on the ground. Lin Qingyao saw it clearly, from among the rocks, there was a ball of light that wanted to rush out, but was blocked by the array formed by Xiao Yuan.

  Guī gǔ zǐ zhè huì yě méi yǒu xián zhe, ér shì jiǎo dòng líng jué, cóng tā de shēn hòu, hū rán fú xiàn chū le dà xiǎo xiǎo shù shí gè shù bù qīng de lóu gāng, yǒu rén de, yǒu dòng wù de, yǒu shuō bu chū lái shì shén me dōng xī de…… zhè xiē lóu gāng pū tiān gài dì de xí juǎn ér lái, fǎng ruò shì lóng juǎn fēng yí yàng de, chōng xiàng le Xiāo Yuǎn Zhī, bǎo Xiāo Yuǎn Zhī zhòng zhòng wéi zhe.

  "Ha! You're skilled in formations, aren't you? Today, let me show you my Bloodthirsty Bone Formation and see whose bones are harder!"

  Lin Qingyao saw these skulls, her first reaction was that her back felt cold, and her whole body was filled with a chilly air. But afterwards, she seemed to notice that the ghostly bones appeared to be somewhat powerless.

  However, Guibonezi was a foundation-building monk after all, and Xiao Yuanshi had only cultivated to the tenth layer of Qi Refining. Although Guibonezi was injured, the gap in their levels still made it very difficult for Xiao Yuanshi.

  Xiao Yuan gazed at the array that trapped the treasure, while simultaneously glancing up at Gui Guzi. With swift movements, he shot a stream of spiritual light into the turtle shell. Suddenly, a brilliant blue glow burst forth from the outside of the shell, forcing the skull back a bit.

  The ghostly figure let out a sinister laugh, and with a push of both hands forward, suddenly black smoke began to emanate from the skulls, enveloping Xiao Yuan's group.

  Seeing the green light emanating from Xiao Yuan's tortoiseshell armor being devoured by the black fog bit by bit, Lin Qingyao felt a pang of regret in her heart, but she wasn't foolish enough to go out and help.

  She's got this trick, once she's out, it's all over!

  Yin Yishu, who was standing beside him, gave Lin Qingyao a wink and grabbed his hand. On Lin Qingyao's hand, he began to draw: "I broke Xiao Yuanzhi's formation, the treasure flew out, you come and seize it."

  Lin Qingyao was shocked, and Yin Yishou had just doubted that he didn't tell himself the truth. He wasn't a cultivator, so how could he guess that there was a treasure born here? If he wasn't a cultivator, how could he break the array?

  Yin Yixiu didn't give Lin Qingyao a chance to ask about the doubts in her heart, and instead wrote on Lin Qingyao's palm: "An opportunity that cannot be missed."

  Then he withdrew his hand, shook his sleeve, and from his sleeve, a few small insects crawled out. These insects were not big, semi-transparent, blended into the night color, and were difficult to detect. They slowly crawled towards Xiao Yuanzi and Gui Gouzizi's place.

  Lin Qingyao didn't have time to stop Yin Yixiu, nor did she want to. Although Xiao Yuandong seemed like a good person, this good person was already about to fall into the hands of Guigu Zishou. It would be better for it to fall into her own hands than into those of Ghost Bone!

  Looking at the spiritual light rushing out non-stop, I knew that this was at least a spiritual artifact!

  In the era of decline, the Taoist arts are withering away. Where is there a master craftsman who can create divine artifacts? Even if there were such a master, there wouldn't be any good materials to craft them from. That's why the treasures in the cultivation world are dwindling, one by one. Only direct disciples of large sects have a chance to obtain a few pieces of pseudo-spiritual instruments. As for her, a lone cultivator, what kind of divine artifact could she possibly possess? Of course, she hopes to get her hands on a good one.

  Although Lin Qingyao also had a sect, she should be considered a disciple of Yunmen. However, her cheap master left behind an empty and looted Yunmen site, turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, leaving behind the responsibility of reviving Yunmen. After thinking about it repeatedly, she was actually more desolate than those scattered cultivators.

  It's a good thing, Lin Qingyao really wants to get something like this, and it can also improve her own strength.
