Firefly Journey

Chapter 350 A Gathering of Scoundrels (6)

Inside the ancient tomb, after entering, there is a large open area.

Not long after arriving in the Pan-Ancient Continent, Lin Yuanran, who had just become a transcendent being, participated in an adventure in the Divine Ruins and obtained two treasures, the "Convenient Key" and the "Fantasy Ledger".

This scene feels like it happened just yesterday.

However, the girl beside him was replaced by a complete stranger he had just met.

Actually, you can't really call her a girl, at least not in terms of height.

The open space was bright and spacious, not gloomy at all, and did not resemble an ancient tomb at all; it was more like a large square.

Lin Yuanran and Chi Liuzi were among the last group to enter. There were few people around them, and they didn't know where the others who had entered earlier, especially the disciples of the major sects, had gone.

Chi Liuzi didn't seem to be in a hurry. She led Lin Yuanran on a aimless stroll for an hour, but they still couldn't get out of the open area.

Lin Yuanran couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zi, why don't we just follow them? It's not right to wander around without a destination."

"No rush." ​​Chi Liuzi said calmly, "Young man, you need to keep your mind at ease. Even the four major sects didn't know the map structure inside the ancient tomb before entering it."

Those disciples from major sects, just like us, are feeling their way across the river, taking it one step at a time, and they don't have to worry about being outmaneuvered at all.

Besides, I didn't come here to steal the treasure, I came here to…

"Take it easy!" Lin Yuanran quickly stopped her.

The elders of the four major sects were spying on every move inside the ancient tomb, still unsure whether they had any means of eavesdropping. If they did, and their voices were overheard, both of them would be in danger.

Chi Liuzi was a smart woman and understood Lin Yuanran's implied meaning. Although she was a little annoyed, she was under someone else's roof and didn't want to get her tongue out. She simply said, "What kind of treasure do you want?"

Lin Yuanran thought for a moment and told the truth: "Actually, there is a problem with the cultivation method I practice. It was fine when I was in the mountains, and I was able to absorb the power of heaven and earth. But now that I have come out of the mountains, I have found that the power of the outside world conflicts with my cultivation method. If they cannot be integrated, I cannot cultivate."

This isn't some unspeakable secret; on the contrary, it's easier to resolve by speaking it out. Lin Yuanran now has to solve this problem.

Chi Liuzi clicked her tongue and said, "I don't even know how to describe your master. He doesn't teach common sense, and now even the cultivation method is having problems. He is truly unworthy of being a teacher."

I understand your situation, and I also...

Before Chi Liuzi could finish speaking, a seductive female voice interrupted her.

"I have the method for fusing magical power from unorthodox martial arts techniques."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hot woman with a swaying waist walking over gracefully.

"Who are you?" Chi Liuzi frowned.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mu Jiaoluan, and I come from the Extreme Ice Valley," the woman said.

"do not know."

"never heard of that."

The fiery woman was slightly annoyed, but she didn't retaliate. She smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't recognize me, but I recognize this young lady."

She continued, "In recent years, a mysterious rogue cultivator has emerged in the Great Xia Dynasty. She hates evil and has destroyed dozens of sects, large and small, over some trivial matters, making everyone in the cultivation world feel insecure."

"That rogue cultivator is you, Fairy Ziliu. I'm very curious, how exactly do you manage to make so many enemies and still remain unscathed?"

"A trivial matter?" Chi Liuzi sneered. "If you consider oppression and human lives trivial, then I can only say that I will personally go to the Frost Valley to learn from you another day."

"No! I was wrong, okay? It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!" Mu Jiaoluan quickly apologized.

"What do you want?" Chi Liuzi asked.

Mu Jiaoluan smiled seductively and looked at Lin Yuanran: "Didn't this young man say that he needed a fusion cultivation technique? My Extreme Ice Cold Valley has a lot of Daoist treasures, including many dual cultivation techniques. If yin and yang are combined and they can exchange what they have, then the problem will naturally be solved."

Lin Yuanran was taken aback. Could it be like this?

"Are you sure your name is Extreme Ice Valley and not the Joyful Union Sect?" Lin Yuanran asked calmly.

"Ha ha!"

Chi Liuzi burst out laughing on the spot, her expression exaggerated, clearly very satisfied with Lin Yuanran's statement.

Mu Jiaoluan's face darkened: "Fellow Daoist is joking. The art of dual cultivation is a profound subject, not something so shameful and disgraceful. Many people have misunderstood it."

Lin Yuanran coughed and asked, "So, sister, what exactly do you want to do?"

Mu Jiaoluan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Cooperation."

"Among the four sects of Jiangdong, my Extreme Ice Cold Valley is the weakest. For many years, it has been suppressed by the other three sects. In this treasure-hunting event, it is highly likely that they will take all the benefits and I will not gain any advantage."

I learned about Fairy Ziliu's entry into the tomb from a rogue cultivator; the other three families were unaware of it. If we can cooperate, we might be able to get the lion's share of what's in the tomb.

Chi Liuzi sneered, "I'm afraid the reward won't be low either."

"It's alright, it's just allowing him to be a guest for one night."

Lin Yuanran has basically confirmed that this Extreme Ice Valley is a bit strange. Mu Jiaoluan's words cannot be completely trusted. It's better not to do the deal. With the strength of those big shots in the group, they are enough to turn the ancient tomb upside down.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanran thought that Chi Liuzi would resolutely reject this woman of unknown origin, but Chi Liuzi did not play by the rules.

"That's possible, but how do you plan to do it?"

“It’s simple. The ancient tomb is empty and there are no bones. The old master’s secret treasure must be hidden somewhere. We will remain still and wait for the three major sects to seize the treasure. Then you two can make your move, and I will naturally lend a hand at that time.”

Lin Yuanran understood. Simply put, at the last moment, he and Chi Liuzi went first, and this guy suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind and took them down in one fell swoop.

Such a simple and unpretentious tactic...

Do you think everyone else is a three-year-old?

"It's settled then," Chi Liuzi said.

"Okay, it's a deal, pinky swear?"

"Hook."

Under Lin Yuanran's watchful gaze, the two women completed their alliance ceremony, which was rather rudimentary...

"Since Fairy Ziliu agrees, then I won't stay any longer. Farewell!"

With a whoosh, Mu Jiaoluan vanished instantly.

As soon as she left, Lin Yuanran frowned and said, "Sister Zi, how could you agree to her? There was something fishy about what she said!"

Chi Liuzi smiled calmly: "Of course I know, she just wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

This time, all four major sects have dispatched their strongest young talents for the treasure within the tomb. For example, Mu Jiaoluan, who just appeared, is at the mid-stage of the Void Realm. Tang Shenglian of the Fire Cloud Sect and Xiong Chu of the Vajra Sect are roughly at the same level as her.

The only one to be wary of is Yan Jinglei, the sword prodigy of the Star Moon Alliance. He possesses a natural sword physique and his cultivation has already reached the late stage of the Void Realm; he's just one step away from entering the Jade Pool Realm.

"You're very well-informed..."

Chi Liuzi said proudly, "Of course, how can you survive in this world without some skills?"

"Then let's..."

"Do as that demoness says, wait for the four sects to find the ultimate treasure, and then we'll seize the opportunity to make our move. Hmph, I want to see who the real fisherman is."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your need to integrate the cultivation techniques. We're going to cause a huge ruckus, so how can we not reward you?"

Lin Yuanran clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Sister Zi. I will do my best and try not to hold you back..."
