Chapter 939: Chapter 233: Another Small Iron Plate [Ten Thousand Words!]
"Clever!"
Fang Che said, "Moreover, in all these forests we’ve traversed, have you ever seen any Heavenly Treasures?"
"Such things are indeed rare. Like the one the White Tiger Mother gave you, it was the first time I saw one in this world."
Understanding flashed across Yan Beihan’s eyes.
"Then the Heavenly Palace and Hell’s rule of handing over thirty percent of the Heavenly Treasures... what does it refer to?"
Fang Che asked.
"..."
Yan Beihan fell silent again.
After a long pause, he said deeply, "We really need to explore this more."
Three days later, the torrent of beasts had moved far away from here.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan both made breakthroughs.
Sixth Grade Martial Marquis, Third Grade Martial King.
This time, Yan Beihan seemed very calm, without the previous frustration, and accepted it with tranquility.
He was even somewhat pleased.
"Oh, how come you’re so calm this time?" Fang Che was surprised.
"With your strength greater, it’s beneficial to me as well, at least the chances of survival are higher."
Yan Beihan said, "In complex situations, I lack your experience. Having high cultivation is useless, but with you having higher cultivation, you can react quickly and take me to safety."
Fang Che chuckled, "You do have a carefree perspective."
"Hehe." Yan Beihan crossed his arms and said, "Anyway, the cultivation here can’t be taken outside. Once we leave, everything will go back to normal. By then, make sure you don’t feel any disappointment."
"Thanks for the warning." Fang Che said with genuine sincerity.
What Yan Beihan liked about Fang Che was that every time he pointed out Fang Che’s shortcomings or reminded him of things he hadn’t noticed before, Fang Che never pretended to be more capable than he was but immediately acknowledged and corrected them.
This was almost identical to Yan Beihan’s way of handling things.
In Yan Beihan’s view, using cunning and strategy against enemies is normal, but life should be as simple as possible.
Honestly acknowledging and directly addressing one’s shortcomings makes a qualified Jianghu Person.
"No wonder, he managed to dominate an era in Cultivating Gu to become a God alone. Just this attitude of learning and absorbing is not something ordinary people have."
Yan Beihan’s evaluation of Yemo grew increasingly high in his heart.
"The only shortcoming is the limitation of his background, which caused his cultivation not to keep up. But that’s unavoidable, as a cultivator from the lower ranks progressing so quickly is already a natural talent!"
At dawn.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan set off on time to the place they sensed earlier.
Little Bear and Little White Tiger also followed.
During these days, the iron plate within Fang Che’s Divine Sense also quieted down, returning to its original shape, with even the surrounding halo disappearing.
But this time, as they walked to the place where they found something before, the halo on the iron plate automatically lit up after Fang Che walked for a while.
As if guiding the direction.
Fang Che kept an eye on the changes in the iron plate.
He had a strange feeling, and that was that this iron plate had a significant connection with the Yin Yang Realm.
And...
He looked down, his gaze dark and inexplicable as he eyed the Little Bear in his arms.
This little guy... also had a connection to the Yin Yang Realm, and moreover... had a connection to the iron plate in his sea of consciousness.
This feeling, though unexplained and baseless, became increasingly certain within Fang Che after the suspicion emerged in his mind.
In no time, they reached the center region.
Fang Che even saw the two footprints he left when practicing before he left last time, sunk into the stone.
"It’s right here."
Fang Che drew his sword and made a cut, using it like a large shovel, and dug out a mound of earth and stone.
"What are you doing? Digging a hole?" Yan Beihan was surprised.
"Yes."
"Looking for what?"
"I don’t know, just the last time I stood here, I suddenly had a whim that there might be something underneath..."
Fang Che made up a perfect lie: "So... let’s dig down, and once we find it, we’ll know what it is."
Yan Beihan really didn’t suspect anything.
Because both last time and this time, she accompanied him. As this was both their first time entering the Yin Yang Realm.
If Fang Che had prepared outside, Yan Beihan felt it would be so absurd that she would never believe it, even if she were crazy!
"Let me help you dig."
Yan Beihan also started.
"How big should we dig?"
"I really don’t know. Let’s start with a five-zhang radius. We’ll assess from there. I reckon we’ll need to dig deep, especially as the tens of zhang above have already been dug and buried by demon beasts."
"Then... five zhang isn’t enough, ten zhang in radius. Five-zhang sounds big, but as it gets deeper, it becomes like a well."
"That works."
The two worked frantically on either side.
In less than an hour, they reached a depth the demon beasts hadn’t dug to.
"Be careful not to let it collapse." Fang Che reminded.
"I know. I’ve firmed up this side."
"Good."
"Do you know how deep to dig?"
"No. Anyway, just dig until we find something. If we don’t find anything, we keep digging."
"Are you sure there’s something here?"
Yan Beihan asked.
"Not sure."
Fang Che replied, "Just a feeling."
Yan Beihan sighed, "If we don’t find anything, aren’t we just digging an indefinitely deep useless hole in this world?"
"That would still be the case."
"I’m really foolish."
Yan Beihan sighed, "I actually did something so silly with you; this feels... ah, feels like the most unreliable thing."
Fang Che said, "Anyway, we’re idle, so doing some work can stretch our muscles and bones... stop complaining, let’s get to work."
