Chapter 1654: Psychic Sage
“An ancient divine medicinal pill that’s a hundred thousand years old?”
Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi were exhilarated, rushing forward.
Even supreme saints would go mad for an ancient divine medicinal pill that was a hundred thousand years old, not to mention them. Such true treasures were very scarce in the universe.
There was a simple Taoist temple made of stone in the cave, and the temple was only around three feet tall with four levels. It didn’t seem to be a place where monks lived, yet there was a thick fragrance coming out.
And the small stone Taoist temple was covered by purple mist, making it look mysterious.
Xiang Chunan licked his lips and said, “Why is there a stone Taoist temple here? It’s too small for anyone to live in. Who built it?”
“The medicinal fragrance is so thick that I can feel the saint Qi tumbling after inhaling it. Perhaps there is an ancient divine medicinal pill that’s a hundred thousand years old.” Mu Lingxi’s eyes gleamed.
“Let me smash this Taoist temple.”
As Xiang Chunan raised his iron hammer and was about to hit the temple, Zhang Ruochen stopped him. “Don’t. If you damage that ancient divine medicinal pill, its function will be hampered.”
“That’s right. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Xiang Chunan slapped his forehand and put his iron hammer away. He shook his body and shrank his muscles and bones, becoming the size of a fist and walking into the temple.
Mu Lingxi also shrank her body, turning into a three-inch-tall beautiful fairy, flying to the second level.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t get into the Taoist temple immediately. Instead, he took out the Eighteen Pool Formation Flag and stuck it around the temple, after which he shrank his body until the flag pool was thicker than his body.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to enter the Taoist temple...
Bang!
He heard a deafening sound coming out of it.
The stone temple shook and cracked, and a powerful purple force gushed out.
Whoosh Whoosh!
The Eighteen Pool Formation Flags all gleamed with crimson light.
Xiang Chunan yelled, “Brother Ruochen, stop that old man! Don’t let him run away!”
“Old man?”
Before Zhang Ruochen could realize what happened, a trace of purple light rushed out of the Taoist temple. It was too fast to be stopped.
Bang!
The purple light clashed with the Eighteen Pool Formation Flags, and a blonde-haired elder in a purple Taoist cape fell onto the ground.
There was a circular golden hat on the blonde-haired elder, and it was several times larger than his body. It looked like the leaf of a sage.
“The ancient divine medicinal pill that’s a hundred thousand years old, Psychic Sage.”
Zhang Ruochen yelled and performed a handprint to suppress the blonde-hair elder.
The blonde-haired elder was the Psychic Sage.
Zhang Ruochen was afraid that he would kill him, so he only used thirty percent of its power.
The blonde-haired elder formed a handprint, and thick saint Qi gushed out of his body. The purple Qi formed a cloud with countless lightning bolts flying toward Zhang Ruochen.
“He can perform a saint spell?”
Zhang Ruochen was dazed as he performed spatial move to dodge it.
Boom!
The purple lighting cloud hit the stone wall, leaving a handprint while cracking it.
And then, lots of saintly way rules gushed out of the blonde-haired elder, and they gathered in his arms while he yelled, “Mountain-Moving Force.”
Boom!
A formation flag was knocked away by his power.
The blonde-haired elder then waved his arm, and an ancient bronze carriage the size of a palm flew out of his sleeves. He immediately got into the carriage and rushed deep into the cave.
Mu Lingxi flew out of the stone Taoist temple and shifted back to her original size, gleaming with saint light.
Boom!
Xiang Chunan turned back to his real size and crushed the Taoist temple. He then carried his iron hammer and rushed toward where the elder had rushed. “How dare you ambush me? I’ll get you!”
Xiang Chunan was kicked in the butt the second he got into the Taoist temple and was tripped, so he was very resentful. He wanted to catch the elder and skin him alive.
Mu Lingxi was surprised. “Damn it. A divine medicinal pill managed to refine into an elder with impressive techniques. Who taught him the techniques and saint spells?”
Zhang Ruochen was also amazed by the power of that elder, as even the Eighteen Pool Formation Flags couldn’t trap him.
A wildlife divine medicinal pill would never have any fighting power even after a hundred thousand years if no monks taught it techniques and saint spells.
If that elder had kept staying in a cave like that, he would never have gotten such tremendous power.
However, that elder didn’t seem to have met the creatures outside much, so he was still scared by Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan, and Mu Lingxi, regardless of his cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen released mind power to inspect the ruins, and he did find something.
He bent over and put away all the crushed stones, and he found a fragment of a turtle shell at the bottom of the Taoist temple. There was a bizarre picture on the fragment, a person in a weird position. He was sitting with his legs crossed and his arms up.
There were also dozens of dimmed characters.
The characters dated back to such ancient times that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t comprehend their meaning with his mind power.
Although that fragment of the turtle shell looked very ordinary, there was no way the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Psychic Sage had hid it in the Taoist temple for no reason. There must be something extraordinary about it...
“I’ll study it after I get out.” Zhang Ruochen put the turtle shell fragment into his space ring.
Boom!
The cave that was sealed by Xiang Chunan was attacked by others, making a tumbling sound.
Mu Lingxi was dazed and said, “The monks have arrived. They’ll crack the cave very soon with their cultivation.”
“Let’s go and rush toward where the Psychic Sage runs. Perhaps there’re other exits to this cave.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Mu Lingxi’s arm and rushed forward as fast as possible. After running for a long while, the cave seemed to have moved upward and become smaller.
Mu Lingxi was pleased and said, “There’s air flowing at the front of the cave. It might be the exit.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned. There was indeed air flowing, but the air was freezing with Yin Qi and death Qi.
Gradually, the air in the cave turned black.
Mu Lingxi now realized something was off. She stopped smiling and looked more and more solemn.
Whoosh!
They rushed out of the cave. The dark world in front of them was filled with Yin Qi, and they felt the tingling as they touched it. The Yin Qi and Death Qi were eroding their bodies.
Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi immediately released saint Qi, using layers of saint light to protect their bodies, expelling the Yin Qi and Death Qi.
“What is this place? It looks more horrifying than the netherworld.” Mu Lingxi noticed that this was definitely a hazardous place, and she was so terrified that she grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s clothes.
Zhang Ruochen was also a bit scared.
He felt like the Goddess of Fear infused the fear into his body using his godly power.
Zhang Ruochen tried to remain calm and observed the surroundings. However, even after using his Heavenly Eyes and mind power, he could only see things less than one hundred feet away from him.
“Don’t you feel that the forces here are similar to those from the forbidden area above the white bone slope?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“In... Indeed...”
Mu Lingxi’s face paled, and she said, “Brother Xiang is nowhere to be found, as he went chasing the Psychic Sage. Should we follow the way back or wait for him here?”
If it was the forbidden area above the white bone slope; it wasn’t a place for them to trespass upon.
Lan Sibai’s voice came out of the cave. “There’s airflow at the front. It should be the exit.”
“They’re indeed the monks from Heaven Field. Seems like we can’t get back!” Zhang Ruochen grabbed Mu Lingxi’s arms, performed spatial move, and vanished.
After a while, Lan Sibai, Wu Xiang, Nie Zhan, the four-wing crimson angel, and more than ten other saint kings rushed out of the cave. They were engulfed in glowing saint light, yet Zhang Ruochen, who was hiding hundreds of feet away, could only see their shadows.
Nie Zhan was perceptive enough to figure out where this place was, so he didn’t do anything.
Lan Sibai felt that his state of mind was wavering with horror, and his legs couldn’t help shaking. “Should we keep chasing them, or should we head back?”
Nie Zhan shot him a glare and said, “There’s some force of the ancient divine medicinal pill in the cave. Obviously, those people picked the valuable. We might not even be able to find such treasure in the inner four yards. How can we let the three of them walk away with it?”
Wu Xiang also craved for the divine medicinal pill that was a hundred thousand years old. He said, “Although this place is extremely dangerous, it presents a great opportunity. We can find some other treasures even if we can’t find the ancient divine medicinal pill.”
Lan Sibai said, “But we don’t even know where they’re heading to.”
Lan Sibai wanted to say something, but Nie Zhan said it first. “Whoever has the guts to venture, follow me, and those who don’t, stay here and guard the exit.”
After a while, Nie Zhan and Wu Xiang vanished in the dark with eight powerful saint kings, following the footprints on the ground.
Lan Sibai and the other six saint kings guarded the exit of the cave.
Lan Sibai took out a set of formation flags and stuck them around the cave, making a formation to prevent other monks from coming here.
Another creature that was slender took out a stack of jade formation compasses and buried them in the mud, forming an attack formation to prevent creatures from ambushing them from the dark.
As for the other saint kings, they were all cautious, setting up either defense formations or attack formations. They’d heard a lot about this forbidden place, so they all felt very unsettled.
