"Where did you see the ancient tomb, could you tell me?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Yun spoke again calmly. He was thinking about what would happen if he knew the location of the ancient tomb.

Maybe I could go check it out and see if I could find some clues to solve the mystery, so I asked the old man calmly.

"If it can still be there, it must be deep in the Xueling Mountains."

The old man said this with gritted teeth. He felt both hatred and helplessness towards the Xueling Mountains.

What he hated was that he experienced such a terrible thing there, but what he felt helpless about was that the ancient tomb disappeared there, as if it was deliberately teasing him.

"Xueling Mountains. If I remember correctly, you seemed to have said that monks often disappeared in the mountains before. Could it be related to this incident?"

A strange look flashed in Chen Yun's eyes, and he spoke slowly. He suddenly remembered the missing monk that the old man had mentioned before.

He wondered in his heart whether it might be related to this mysterious ancient tomb. There was a gleam of thought in his eyes as he analyzed various possibilities in his mind.

"Maybe. I'm not sure."

"But if you are interested in this, I can show you the address of the ancient tomb. Maybe Brother Chen will have the chance to go there and see what he can find!"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said this. He thought that since Chen Yun was interested, maybe Chen Yun could find out something. Anyway, there was nothing he could do.

It would be better to give the address to Chen Yun and let him try it. After saying that, he took out a jade slip from his arms.

After holding it in his hand and imprinting something into it, he casually handed it to Chen Yun. The action seemed very decisive, as if all his hopes were placed on Chen Yun.

"Okay. If you have time, Chen will go and take a look!"

After a moment's silence, Chen Yun reached out to take the jade slip and said calmly.

He took the jade slip and thought to himself that when he had time, he would go there to find out what was going on.

Let’s see if we can solve the mystery of this mysterious ancient tomb and these bubbles, with a solemn expression on our face.

"Haha! It seems that this old man and I really hit it off right away. I haven't told anyone about this distress in my heart for a long time."

"How about this. I see that Brother Chen is also very interested in this item. I will sell it to you at a lower price."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, just give me 100 spirit stones and you can take the things. How do you think?"

The old man smiled and said that he felt he and Chen Yun got along quite well and that Chen Yun seemed quite interested in this thing.

I thought about just selling it to Chen Yun, and I took the initiative to lower the price, thinking that this would be good value for money.

"One hundred spirit stones? It is indeed very cheap. But I cannot let Brother Jin suffer a loss."

"How about this. I'll give Brother Jin 200 Spiritual Stones in exchange for this item."

Chen Yun smiled, as if a little embarrassed, and said this, then he reached into the storage bag at his waist.

Two mid-level spirit stones appeared in his hand and were handed to the old man opposite. Chen Yun thought that this thing was so peculiar.

I couldn't let the old man suffer any loss, so I gave him more spirit stones. It could be considered as a way of thanking him. After all, he told me the story behind it.

When Jin Yuan saw that it was a mid-level spirit stone, he couldn't help but smile. He said a few polite words and took it. He was very happy and felt that this was a good deal.

The golden bubbles in the jade box were naturally pushed to Chen Yun. The action was very natural, as if a very ordinary transaction had been completed.

In front of the old man, Chen Yun casually put the jade box into the storage bag. Seeing this, the old man's face was full of relief.

He seemed quite reluctant to let go, after all, this thing had been in his hands for so long.

He still had some feelings for it, but since he had sold it to Chen Yun, there was nothing he could do about it, so he had such a complicated expression on his face.

But at this moment, a spirit beast bag on Chen Yun's waist moved and made a slight cry.

The movement seemed particularly abrupt in this relatively quiet environment and immediately attracted the old man's attention.

"This is……"

The old man was stunned, staring at the spirit beast bag on Chen Yun's waist, and asked curiously.

He was wondering what was in Chen Yun's spirit beast bag and why there was a sudden movement.

Could it be that he was interested in the item that had just been traded? So I couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just a low-level spirit beast I keep in captivity. Probably because it likes to hunt, it is a little interested in this thing."

Chen Yun lowered his head and glanced at the spirit beast bag, then said indifferently.

He didn't want to explain too much about the situation in the spirit beast's bag, so he just found an excuse to get away with it, hoping that the old man wouldn't take it too seriously.

After listening to Chen Yun's words, Jin Yuan was still a little confused. A look of doubt flashed across his face, but he felt that it was not appropriate to ask further, after all, Chen Yun had already said so.

Then he chatted with Chen Yun for a while and then got up to say goodbye.

His movements were a little hurried, as if he was eager to leave. After pushing open the door, his figure quickly disappeared from Chen Yun's sight.

Looking at the other person pushing open the door of the stone house and walking out, the smile on Chen Yun's face gradually faded.

The smile that originally contained a hint of politeness and perfunctory disappeared, replaced by a hint of gloom.

His eyes also became deep, as if he was lost in thought, or as if he had noticed something wrong and was thinking secretly in his heart.

After a while, he suddenly took out the jade box again, his movements very cautiously.

It was as if the jade box contained something extremely precious and dangerous, and then he gently opened the lid.

He stared at the things in the box without saying a word, just watching quietly, with a hint of exploration and thought in his eyes, trying to find some clues from this thing.

"Why, you really plan to explore that ancient tomb!"

The indifferent voice of Lord Dayan was heard in his spiritual consciousness. The voice was calm as water, yet it carried a hint of concern, as if reminding Chen Yun to act cautiously and not act rashly.

"Of course not. Although I don't know how credible what that person said just now is. I am not a novice, so how can I take risks?"

"But I am really curious about the Emperor's Tomb. If I recover all my abilities, I might go explore it."

"But it's obvious that he didn't have any good intentions when he said all this to me. What do you mean by hitting it off right away and telling it to me openly?"

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child? How can an old man who has lived for so many years easily tell such a secret to others, let alone a stranger he just met. Such diligence must be a traitor or a thief!"

Chen Yun sneered and said carelessly. His words were clear and shrewd, and he was obviously not fooled by Jin Yuan's appearance. He knew very well that there must be other purposes behind the other party's enthusiasm. After all, in this world of immortal cultivation, it is unreasonable to open your heart to strangers for no reason.

That's why he said it with such disdain. He has his own judgment on Jin Yuan's intentions.

"That's true. But those young guys who have just graduated are most likely to be deceived by such people."

"I thought he was sincere to me, so I easily let down my guard. I might be sold out in the future without knowing it! Back then, I was also..."

Lord Dayan sighed, and his voice deepened when he spoke of himself, and then he stopped talking abruptly.

It was as if that past was a sad or embarrassing thing that he didn't want to mention, making him hesitate to speak.

"Oh, was your predecessor also fooled by this trick in the past?"

Chen Yun was stunned and chuckled. He didn't expect that Dayan God was such an experienced person.

I actually had such an experience before, so I was a little surprised, but also a little curious. I wanted to know how Lord Dayan was deceived back then.

"Humph! I was young once too. It's not surprising that I was cheated by others."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Lord Dayan snorted a few times, looking a little embarrassed, as if someone had exposed his weakness.

He seemed uncomfortable, but didn't want to admit his past "stupidity", so he could only hum in response to Chen Yun, trying to gloss over the matter.

"Okay, I won't ask you about your scandalous deeds. But even the Soul-Crying Beast seems to be interested in this thing. It seems a bit weird!"

Chen Yun's expression straightened, and then he slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist with one hand. The action was quick and decisive, and it was obvious that he wanted to see how the Soul-Crying Beast would react to this thing.

A beam of black light shot out from the bag, landed on the table, and turned into a mini monkey about an inch tall.

The little monkey has a coat of shiny black fur. The fur is so black that it looks quite cute, but also exudes a mysterious aura.

As soon as the little monkey appeared, it sniffed a few times with its nose, and its little nose twitched up and down, looking very clever.

His eyes immediately fell on the golden bubble, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

It seemed to be hesitating whether to get closer, and seemed to be both curious and a little afraid of the golden bubble.

Chen Yun was a little surprised. He stared at the Soul-Crying Beast without saying a word and tried to communicate with the beast with his mind.

He wanted to know what the Soul-Crying Beast was thinking and why it had such contradictory behavior. Its expression was focused and serious, and he tried to understand the reasons behind it through telepathic communication.

Judging from the sensation transmitted by the spiritual consciousness, the crying soul seemed to be somewhat afraid of the golden bubble.

But what about the eager feeling that existed at the same time? Chen Yun was very confused, frowning slightly, thinking about the secrets that might be hidden behind these two contradictory emotions.

Before Chen Yun could figure it out, suddenly black yin energy emerged from the weeping soul's body. The yin energy was thick and eerie.

As if carrying a chill from the underworld, it leaped and plunged into the golden bubble. This action was quite sudden, and Chen Yun didn't have time to stop it.

Then the surface of the golden bubble began to shine brightly, the light was dazzling, and wisps of gray flames appeared out of thin air from the bubble.

The beast was wrapped inside, and it looked quite dangerous, as if the Soul-Crying Beast had fallen into a dangerous trap.

The Soul-Crying Beast showed a look of pain on its face, and the painful expression was very obvious on its small face.

His body was trembling slightly, but he continued to emit a mixture of pitch-black yin energy and grey flames.

The body was motionless in the golden bubble, stuck there, and the situation seemed very tricky.

Chen Yun frowned, he was very worried about the safety of the Soul-Crying Beast.

But he didn't know what was going on, and he was at a loss for a moment. He could only watch the Soul-Crying Beast being trapped in the golden bubble, feeling extremely anxious.

Although no one knew what had happened, it was obvious that the Soul-Crying Beast did not look like it would be able to come out anytime soon, and it seemed to be using the gray flame.

As if practicing on his own, Chen Yun vaguely felt this from the changes in the aura emanating from it.

But he was not sure, after all, this situation was too strange.

The moment the flame appeared, the golden bubble suddenly became full of spiritual energy, and the rich spiritual energy seemed to appear out of thin air.

Astonishing spiritual waves were emitted as if out of nothing, spreading out in all directions in waves.

"Wait! I seem to have seen this scene before. I should have an impression of it."

Suddenly, a light exclamation from Lord Dayan came into his consciousness, and he seemed to have thought of something.

There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in the voice, as if a certain image deep in memory was awakened by the scene before his eyes, but he couldn't figure it out clearly for the moment.

"What did you remember, Senior?"

Chen Yun was surprised and couldn't help asking. He hoped that Lord Dayan could think of some clues quickly.

In order to find out what this golden bubble is and whether the Soul-Crying Beast is in danger now, he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.

"Let me think! It seems like a long time ago."

The voice of Lord Dayan became more solemn, and he fell into deep memories.

He tried hard to search his mind for the related memory, and the solemn tone made Chen Yun's heart rise.

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Yun did not say anything. He quietly looked at the crying soul beast in the golden bubble and lowered his head to think.

While observing the condition of the Soul-Crying Beast, he pondered over various possibilities in his mind, trying to analyze this strange phenomenon based on his own experience.

After a long while, the voice of Lord Dayan was heard again. The waiting time seemed particularly long to Chen Yun.

"I remember now. I once saw this thing on a ten-thousand-year-old corpse king when I was traveling in the past."

"It seems that the Corpse King was a Buddhist monk before he became a Corpse King. After he became a Corpse King, he transformed his relics into an extremely powerful shield-like treasure."

"It's very powerful. Once it's released from the body, it's almost indestructible for a short period of time. I've also suffered a great loss from it before."

"But that happened a long time ago. And the shield released by the other party was silver. I didn't remember it for a moment."

"But this kind of thing should be hidden in the body of the Corpse King. How could it fall into the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Jin Yuan?"

The words of Lord Dayan were full of surprise. He never thought that this thing would appear in the hands of a cultivator with low cultivation like Jin Yuan. He felt that this matter was very strange. (End of this chapter)
