Chapter 141 Find Secrets
As it was already afternoon, the group of Four Seasons Valley reached the Southern Sentry Tower.
It was one of the checkpoints on the border of the Outer Zone and Inner Zone. So, there were many people around it, either resting or inspecting.
Long Ming could see at least five different teams and a bunch of rouge cultivators.
The stone tower stood magnificently, marking the entrance of the Inner Zone. Although it long lost its former glory, the tower could still make someone feel awe.
" According to the records, the tower used to guard the Inner and Core Zone of Azure Sun Secret Realm. It was also used to be a watch tower for Beast Garden."
" But after the calamity broke, the beasts inside the beast garden became free and spread across the entire realm." Luo Yingying sighed.
" Well, There aren't many things in Souther Sentry Tower. You can say it's just a safe spot inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm." Mu Qinglian added.
" Very well, Then let's rest here for a bit." Long Ming nodded. He left everyone at the top of the tower.
From the top, they could see a beautiful scenery of vast forests and various distant ruins.
" Wo! It's so beautiful!"
" Indeed, It's really a scenic spot!"
Long Ming smiled when he saw the energetic face of the girls. Even Mu Qinglian couldn't help but gaze at the setting sun.
[ Ding! New Quest arrived! Mystery Seeker!]
[ As a genius, you should try to uncover the hidden secrets that elude from everyone's eyes. Only by doing it, you can surpass the mindset of ordinary people!]
[ Find the hidden secret of Southern Sentry Tower!]
[ Reward: A White Silver grade Chest!]
[ Failure: APlum Blossom Fan will vanish]
Long Ming's expression turned dark when he saw that.? Taking away the Plum Blossom Fan? Such an outrageous joke!
Taking away such an exquisite fan from him, how can he act like a proper young master without it?
' But a hidden secret? Here?' Long Ming pondered. ' I thought a place like this should have plundered long ago.'
" Junior Sisters, Rest here for a bit. Meanwhile, I shall be checking around the surroundings." Long Ming looked at everyone and spoke.
" Wait! I am coming with you." Ming Yuexin stepped forward as she walked beside Long Ming with a smile. " Well, Brother Long, Shall we go?"
" Wait!"
Long Ming and Ming Yuexin paused as they looked at Mu Qinglian.
" I am also coming with you." Mu Qinglian spoke with a straight face.
" Huh? Sister Mu, Shouldn't you stay here with them?" Ming Yuexin spoke with a smirk. " I mean, Who is going to supervise them?"
" I don't think they are ignorant childrens." Mu Qinglian spoke with a smile. " Not to mention, we are going to stay nearby, right?"
" Haha, Really?"
Long Ming felt his palms turning sweaty as he looked at both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin, staring at each other with a polite smile. However, the atmosphere was tense as usual.
" No need. I am going alone." Long Ming gave a dry coughed as he waved his hands.
" But…"
" I am going."
Long Ming didn't want the situation to escalate. So he turned around and ran away hastily. Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian sighed when they saw that.
" Hmm, I winder what could be hidden here?"
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes shone as he scanned the Souther Snetry Tower. There were other cultuvators there.
" Hey! What are you doing?!"
Long Ming suddenly heard a commotion as he turned his gaze at that place.
A burly man stood in front of a group of young men with an evil smirk.
" Fellow Daoists, I heard you have a five hundred year old Flame Grass. How about you sell it for thousand mid grade stones to me?"
" What?! Are you crazy?"
One of them retorted instantly. " Thousand mid grade spirit stones? What a? joke!"
" This alone cost at least a thousand High grade spirit stones!"
The burly man laughed when he heard that. " Well, Fellow Daoists! You are correct. That's indeed the price of a five hundred year old Flame Grass."
" However, you would only be able to receive that much if you guys managed to walk out alive from this secret realm." The burly men snorted.
" You know, there are lots of accidents happening in the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Who knows… if something happens to you…"
" Bastard! Don't mess with us!"
" Elder Brother, Let's teach him a lesson!"
Suddenly, two more people appeared around the burly man as they laughed. Their aura was at the Peak of True Core Realm. The group of three young men was naturally weaker than them.
Long Ming was planning to ignore them. After all, in a secret realm, there is no law.
If you are weak, then you are naturally the one who is at fault.
However, as Long Ming was about to leave, his eyes sparkled. He suddenly saw a wall nearby the two groups were fighting was a little unusual.
" Hmm, Maybe… It's there?' Long Ming felt a surge of excitement as he walked there.
" Hey, Fellow Brothers, Can you please fight somewhere else?" Long Ming smiled as he looked at the two groups. " I need to do something here. So, leave this place."
" Hey, Look at him. What the hell is he trying to do?"
The burly man frowned when Long Ming walked between him and the group of young men.
" Brat! Don't stand in my way!" The burly man snorted. " Else, Don't blame me for being impolite."
" Ah, Is that so?" Long Ming gave a nod of understanding. As the burly man smiled with satisfaction, a punch landed on his face.
*BOOM*
A few teeth along with a puddle of blood fell on the ground as the burly man shot a few meters away.
" Boss!"
"Bastard! I will kill you!"
Long Ming casually swatted his Plum Blossom Fan when he saw the two subordinates of the burly man charging at him.
His movement was graceful as if he was trying to fan them gently. However, when the fan landed on their body, they felt like their bones shattering.
With two slaps, both of them were lying along with their boss. The group of young men were stunned when they saw that.
" B-Brother, Thank you for your help." One of them spoke hurriedly.
" Now, If you don't have anything to do, scram." Long Ming gave them a side-eye.
The group nodded hurriedly as they ran away. Long Ming's eyes scanned the wall and he found a small formation hidden. With his spiritual qi, he triggered it, making him enter the wall.
" Huh? Where did he go?!"
" He vanished!"
" Could it be… There is a secret door there?!"
The cultivators surged as they looked at the wall with shock.
" Hmm? There isn't much here."
Long Ming was inside a small room. It looked like it was a small quarter of someone. Along with a bed and a table, there was a small bookshelf.
Long Ming took all of them and scanned the room. Seeing there was nothing valuable, he walked out.
Reappearing outside, Long Ming didn't stay there and returned to where the group of Four Seasons Valley was resting.
But the crowd's eyes remained fixed on him.
" Treasure! He must have gotten some treasure!"
" Hurry and inform everyone!"
" Ah! Senior Brother! You are back!"
" Did you find something?'
' Maybe?"
Long Ming chuckled as he looked at them. " I guess we have rested enough? How about we resume our journey?"
" Sure."
Everyone nodded with enthusiasm. After resting, they again began their journey through the forest.
" Senior Brother, Where are we going?"
" Spirit Spring Stele." Long Ming spoke
Long Ming took the lead as they walked. With occasional encounters with demonic beasts, there was nothing much.
Long Ming scanned the books he got from the room one by one. There wasn't much information in the first two books. However, the third book was actually a diary written by a servant.
Other than the daily mundane things, there was nothing much. However, Long Ming noticed a particular note.
It looked like something happened to one of the five major spirit veins of the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Along with that, there was also some prophecy left behind by Empress Crimson Sky, about some calamity that Four Seasons Valley might face.
After that, the next pages were normal before the abrupt chaos. The servant was also someone who was affected by the calamity of the Azure Sun Secret Realm.
As his cultivation wasn't high, he didn't participate in the major battle. However, he still got affected. Before his death, he recorded some things about the calamity and the things that happened that day.
' I see… If that's the case…' Long Ming reached a conclusion that made his body shiver. However, thinking too much about that will result in nothing.
[ Ding! Quest Completed! Host gets a White Silver Grade Chest!]
" Do you know what the Spirit Spring Stele is?" Chu Li turned and asked Shu Huan.
" Well, You can say it's a testing place for disciples of old Four Seasons Valley." Luo Yingying answered.
" It's an ancient stelle, covered with various formations. As long as you can show that you have enough strength, it will grant you a drop of Spirit Milk. "
The Spirit Milk can be very beneficial for cultivators of True Core Formation Realm. And it's also a material for pills for Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."
