Black Crow Ridge.
Old Ma started to dig a hole in the ground with his bare hands.
In just a brief moment, he was able to dig a two-meter-deep pit.
The efficiency was frightening.
Before, Jiang Yuan, who had only reached the fifth level of Body Forging, was able to withstand the throw from Lei Zhan, carrying an Old Ma who weighed well over a thousand pounds, just by using his Luck Power.
Not to mention Old Ma who had reached the sixth level of Body Forging, his strength had already surpassed a thousand pounds, and his powerful physical body was unfazed by ordinary pain and fatigue.
A moment later…
Old Ma found a piece of wood, and then picked up a broken piece of weapon debris from the ground.
The tomb of my brother Sun Ming is erected by his brother Ma Shizong.
As he was carving, he said, “Sun Ming! You have no parents, no children, and there’s no one to bury you if I bring you back. Let me place a tombstone for you here, hope you won’t blame me!”
Gu Mo came over and said, “Uncle Ma, let me help you!”
“No need, I want to personally bury these old brothers of mine! This is my last chance to touch them!”
Jiang Yuan sighed gently, then came over to Jiang Zhenyuan’s body.
At this time, his body still gave off strong vitality.
His eyes were wide open, and extremely bright, as if he were still alive.
His chest was ripped open, and a bright red handprint was branded onto it.
From the force of this palm, it could be guessed that his internal organs were all shattered.
It was clear that Jiang Zhenyuan had died from this attack.
Jiang Yuan squatted down and gently stroked his eyelids.
“Father, rest in peace!”
As his words fell, Jiang Zhenyuan closed his eyes completely.
Jiang Yuan picked up his corpse and walked step by step to the carriage, placing him into the coffin.
Several people in the distance saw this and turned to leave.
Even though they were far away from here and could not see the face of the dead person clearly.
But from this scene, they could guess that the person inside the coffin was Jiang Zhenyuan, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, a household name in Lin’an County.
On the other side….
Old Ma had already erected tombstones for the lonely brothers.
He stood up and said, “Young master, I’m ready.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Then let’s collect the bodies of the other brothers and give them to their families when we return to the city, so they can rest in peace.”
All of a sudden, everyone started to take action.
They started to put the dead bodies on the ground into the coffins, one by one.
Just then…
Jiang Yuan took a step forward, and a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Detection of a nearby opportunity within your vicinity, at a relatively short distance, do you want to consume 23 strands of Luck Power to obtain detailed information about this opportunity?]
Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. Does Luck Power have such a function?
A surge of emotions welled up in his heart.
The word “opportunity” holds too much meaning.
Many legendary stories all start with the term “opportunity”.
Jiang Yuan then silently recited in his heart.
[Yes!]
[Successfully consumed 23 strands of Luck Power!]
The next moment, another prompt emerged before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
[Five miles north of here, there is a valley. Beside the tarn in the valley, there is a newly matured, century-old spirit plant.]
Spirit plant?
Jiang Yuan was immediately joyful at heart.
After recovering his senses, he glanced around. There were still two or three figures lingering in the distance.
So he said, “Uncle Ma, come with me to a place.”
“Where to?”
“No more questions!”
Upon hearing this, Old Ma nodded repeatedly, “Yes!”
“Young Master, what about me?” Gu Mo suddenly asked.
“You stay here with the remaining brothers.” Jiang Yuan’s gaze subtly turned towards the distant figures, his meaning obvious, “Without you, I cannot rest assured about this place!”
“Understood, Young Master!”
“Uncle Ma, keep up!”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuan’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, running off towards the north.
His figure was extremely fast, flashing through the forest.
Seeing this, Old Ma quickly said, “Young Master, wait for me!”
Meanwhile…
Off in the distance…
“Shall we follow and see what happens?” A man in black standing on a sturdy branch asked.
“Let’s go! They are behaving unusually, there must be a reason!”
Just as they were about to follow, they stopped.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two sharp noises instantly reached their ears, the sound of waves being split.
Both men’s expressions changed drastically, and they retreated swiftly.
The next moment.
The two men watched as the trunk not far in front of them burst open, scattering fragments.
Upon taking a closer look, the culprits turned out to be two small stones.
The shattered stones had embedded themselves deep into the trunk, at least three inches in, forming a hole as big as a bowl.
Both men broke out into cold sweats. If they hadn’t retreated quickly…
The large hole would have been in them, not the tree trunk.
At the same time, Gu Mo’s voice came from afar: “Any more strange movements, and I’ll cut you both down!”
The two men looked at each other and quickly turned to flee.
…
A few minutes later.
Jiang Yuan stopped on a cliff.
At the foot of the cliff, a deep valley was shrouded in mist, its depth unfathomable.
Sturdy green vines cascaded down the cliff, disappearing into the mist.
This should be the place!
Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
Old Ma also appeared behind him.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the stale air from his chest.
“Young Master, are you planning to go down into the valley?”
“Indeed! There’s something I want down there!”
After finishing his sentence, Jiang Yuan looked down at the precipitous cliff beneath him.
Then he leaped, grabbing hold of a sturdy vine.
As he slackened his arm, his body plunged downward rapidly.
Between his release and fall, Jiang Yuan descended swiftly.
Seeing this, Old Ma hastily followed.
A moment later.
Both of them landed at the bottom of the valley.
They saw a misty valley floor and a deep, ancient pool not far away, its surface veiled by yin yun mist.
Next to the ancient pool, a fully bloomed, fiery red spiritual plant was gently swaying in the air.
It had seven petals, and specks of red light occasionally fell from between them.
Old Ma’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he exclaimed in surprise, “Is this… the legendary Spirit Medicine?”
“Indeed!”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Yuan completely relaxed.
The hint was not false; it truly was a blessing in disguise.
This Spirit Medicine will certainly bring a great increase to my power.
Just then.
“Roar!”
A deafening roar resonated close to their ears.
Both men’s expressions changed slightly.
Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of the sound.
A gigantic, towering bear appeared before his eyes.
Standing at a height of ten feet, it walked upright, exuding an intimidating aura.
The bear’s body was covered in scars both large and small, still oozing blood. Its flesh was mangled, revealing its severe injuries.
Especially around its eyes, where a paw had scraped off half its face, exposing vivid red flesh.
Clearly, this was a bear that had just gone through a fierce battle.
Old Ma whispered, “Young Master, we cannot effectively fight this beast! I’ll distract it, you find an opportunity to pick the Spirit Medicine, and then we leave.”
Jiang Yuan shook his head, “No need, it’s already at the end of its strength, I’ll handle it!”
“No!” Old Ma shouted, “Young Master, you lack experience, you don’t understand the danger of fighting a trapped beast. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to answer to your late father?”
Upon finishing, he stomped his right foot and charged towards the bear.
However, before he could get halfway, a great force enveloped him from behind, stopping him.
What!
He turned, seeing Jiang Yuan’s face filled with laughter.
“Uncle Ma, rest assured, trust me!”
