"Yue Liang, I'll go look for the entrance first. Tell the people from Han Yue Palace to continue chopping firewood and roasting the boar. If they don't listen, just kill them. Leave it to Ba Tiao!"
Yun Shisan looked at Ba Tiao and said, "Is it okay if I ask you for help?"
Ba Tiao nodded and said in a low voice, "No problem. Go do your own thing. I'm the best at killing people, but if you get any benefits, you can't leave me out!"
Yun Shisan said straightforwardly, "No problem. I don't know how long I'll be gone for, but I'll be back in three days at most. You guys continue roasting the boar. Since it's already roasted, then roast it better. Don't start a fire and add some spiritual herbs."
"Okay, be careful. I don't think these two women are good people!" Yun Caiyue said without any intention of avoiding Leng Wushuang and Han Yue.
Yun Caiyue didn't think they were good people. This was mainly because they came together with the people who injured Yun Caiqi and Fang Zizhou, so they had a preconceived notion!
Moreover, with Mo Wanqing as a comparison, no matter how she looked at them, they didn't look pleasing to the eye. Therefore, image was very important when interacting with people. If the first impression was unpleasant, then no matter how she looked at them, they wouldn't be pleasing to the eye.
"You …"
Han Xue Qi was about to say something, but she was stopped by Leng Wushuang.
Yun Shisan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they don't have the ability to deal with me. Besides, they might not be as bad as you think."
Yun Shisan said and walked towards the depths of the valley. According to the map, the entrance to the underground cave was in the depths of the valley.
Leng Wushuang and Han Xue Qi looked at each other and followed closely behind.
There were some weeds, trees, and bamboo in the depths of the valley. These weeds had been gnawed by the wild boars, so it was convenient to walk. Some of the bark on the trees had been gnawed off by the wild boars.
The wild boars here were different from ordinary wild boars. Not only did they have a certain level of cultivation, they were also carnivores. When they couldn't catch any prey, they would take a step back and gnaw on the grass.
However, there were lumps of pig feces in the grass. Some of them were even covered by the wild grass. If one was not careful, they would step on them.
Yun Shisan went all the way to the depths of the valley. There were two large caves here, but these two caves had already become the nests of wild boars.
According to the map, the entrance to the underground cave was between the two caves. Originally, there should be a big rock at that location. That big rock sealed the small cave, but now there was no trace of that big rock.
Yun Shisan carefully observed for a moment and looked at the Invisible Dual Blade in his hand. Then, he put away the Invisible Dual Blade and took out a long sword.
The long sword was one of the spoils of war that Yun Shisan obtained from the few people from Xuanjian Faction. Yun Shisan did not unsheathe the long sword. Instead, he stuck it into the mountain with the scabbard.
The long sword was stuck into the mountain. Yun Shisan frowned and pulled out the long sword again. He then said to Leng Wushuang, "Break this place open."
He saw traces of a collapse on the mountain. The original big rock must have been buried by the soil. The only way now was to blast open the soil outside to check.
Naturally, Leng Wushuang did not dare to have any objections. She could only follow Yun Shisan's instructions. She took a step forward and pulled out her long sword. She poured her spiritual power into the long sword and slashed at the mountain!
Boom!
Sword Qi surged, and the sword slashes shook off the mud on the mountain. However, this slash only created a small hole in the mountain. Leng Wushuang could only continue to attack the mountain.
"Senior Sister, let me help you!" Han Xue Qi said as she walked forward.
Yun Shisan stopped Han Xue Qi and said, "You have a very honorable status. How would I dare to trouble the little princess of Cold Moon Palace?"
"You … How did you know?"
Han Xue Qi suddenly stared at Yun Shisan with her eyes wide open. She did not tell Yun Shisan about her identity, nor did anyone else.
"As long as you're not blind, you can see that they treat you differently. Especially you, Senior Sister!"
Yun Shisan extended his hand and tapped on her clothes and said, "Your clothes are also different from theirs. There's an extra silver border!"
"You're quite observant. You can even see through that!" Han Xue Qi blinked her eyes.
Her cultivation was not high. She was only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. Her cultivation was the lowest among all of them. From her words and actions, it could be seen that she was not very involved. Someone like her was either the daughter of the Palace Master or a very important disciple. Only people like her had just come out to train.
"Rumble ~"
The mud on the mountain was suddenly blasted open, revealing a large rock. It was a piece of Green Steel Rock.
Yun Shisan nodded and said, "Continue, break this rock. This should be the entrance!"
Sure enough, not long after, the large rock was blasted open by Leng Wushuang, revealing a pitch black tunnel. However, they could still hear the echoes of "Di Di Da Da" in the tunnel.
After listening for a while, Yun Shisan was overjoyed and said, "This is the sound of water dripping. If it's not dripping water, then it means that the stalactites are still inside."
Yun Shisan took the lead and stepped into the tunnel. This was a narrow and damp tunnel. It was also pitch black, and they couldn't even see their own fingers.
However, this was only for ordinary people. For cultivators, the darkness could not block their vision. They could gather a bit of spiritual power in their eyes and see the scene in front of them as if it was daytime.
Yun Shisan didn't care whether Leng Wushuang and the other two followed him or not. He walked straight into the cave. Not long after, the tunnel turned into stone. Yun Shisan was sure that he had entered the stone mountain.
Not long after, the tunnel suddenly turned downward. Yun Shisan followed the winding tunnel and soon appeared in a spacious underground cave.
"So many stalactites. This trip was not in vain!"
What came into view was a pool the size of a small pond. The pool was filled with milky white stalactites. Yun Shisan estimated that the white jade bottle he just obtained might not be able to hold all of them.
Stalagmites stood upside down on the pool. Drops of stalactites dripped from these stalagmites into the pool.
Yun Shisan discovered that there were some restrictions on the side of the pool. This should be a restriction left behind by the people who discovered this underground cave. It was mainly to prevent the stalactites from dispersing into the ground.
This also explained why there was such a large pool of stalactites. Otherwise, let alone ten thousand years, even a million years might not be enough to accumulate so much!
Stalactites were extremely rare. If the geology was good, one drop could be produced in ten days. If the geology was bad, one drop might not even be produced in a year. The fact that so much stalactites had been accumulated since ancient times meant that the geology here was quite good.
"What a big toad!"
Yun Shisan turned his head and saw that Leng Wushuang and Han Xue Qi had already entered. At this moment, Han Xue Qi was staring at a large crack in the stone.
"Women's focus is really different. She didn't see such a large pool of stalactites, but instead saw a toad!"
Yun Shisan muttered and looked along Han Xue Qi's gaze. There was a head sized toad lying in the crack in the stone.
This toad was completely white jade. At this moment, its cheeks were puffed up while the three legs beneath its belly were rising and falling incessantly. Moreover, it was looking at them with two glossy green eyes.
"Shit! It's about to attack." Yun Shisan's heart constricted, and he hurriedly became vigilant.
Leng Wushuang was experienced and knowledgeable, so she said indifferently, "This is a Whitejade Toad. It's a type of Cosmos Beast that can cure a myriad of poisons. However, it's also a type of great medicine. If its blood is used to refine pills, then it'll produce unexpected effects. Especially when it's used to refine antidotes.
If the entire Whitejade Toad is used as a catalyst, then it can even be refined into immortal pills. Unfortunately, it hasn't matured! "
"It hasn't matured?"
Yun Shisan was slightly dazed. This Whitejade Toad absolutely possesses a strength at the initial-stage of the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm, yet it hasn't matured?
Leng Wushuang nodded and said, "Cosmos Beasts can only be considered to have matured after they overcome the calamity of the storm. Their strength doesn't have to cultivate, and it'll grow with the passage of time. They'll only matured when they overcome the calamity of the storm!"
"You know quite a lot!"
At this moment, Yun Shisan deeply felt powerless from his lack of knowledge as well. It was mainly because he'd just come out and hadn't seen much.
Leng Wushuang said with an expressionless face, "Cosmos Beasts are even rarer than Divine Beasts, but there are four types of toads. The Single Limbed Toad Cry Saint perished, and its legs and abdomen absorbed the heavens and the earth. The Three-Legged Whitejade Toad can cure a myriad of poisons, and the Four-Legged Golden Toad can shock the gods. This is the Three-Legged Whitejade Toad."
These four types of toads were extremely famous. They weren't Divine Beasts or Spirit Beasts, and they weren't listed as Demon Beasts or Ferocious Beasts either. Because they didn't have to cultivate, and they would only have to grow with the passage of time to naturally obtain formidable strength. This was Cosmos Beasts.
Cosmos Beasts could be said to be the most special type of beast in the world. They didn't have to cultivate desperately like others, and they only had to lie down and sleep to improve their cultivations and obtain the favor of the heavens and the earth.
However, the heavens were fair. They didn't have to cultivate, and they were given powerful strength. However, Cosmos Beasts would never have the chance to comprehend the Great Dao.
It was precisely because of this that passing the three calamities was many times more difficult than other races. If they couldn't comprehend the Great Dao, they would have severed their immortal fate. Even if they passed the three calamities, they wouldn't be able to become Immortal Beasts.
However, Cosmos Beasts could choose to sign a symbiotic contract with an expert. This way, they could borrow the master's comprehension of the Great Dao to continue growing. Once they grew up, they would be even more terrifying than immortals.
It was also because of this that countless experts wanted to obtain a Cosmos Beast. However, Cosmos Beasts were rare in the world. Even if they found one, they couldn't use force. They had to obtain the approval of the Cosmos Beast and have the Cosmos Beast take the initiative to sign a symbiotic contract. Therefore, even if you encountered a Cosmos Beast, it might not belong to you.
However, there were many people who would choose to kill the Cosmos Beast if they couldn't obtain the approval of the Cosmos Beast. This was because they knew how terrifying the Cosmos Beast was when it grew up. Since they couldn't enjoy it themselves, they wouldn't let others have it.
Leng Wushuang reminded, "Don't make a move. The White Jade Toad's temperament is relatively gentle. It won't take the initiative to attack people. Let's see if we have the fortune to obtain its approval."
Although Cosmos Beasts weren't Spirit Beasts, they also had very strong spirituality. They seemed to be born with the ability to discern people and could choose the master they wanted to live with.
Cosmos Beasts had very long lifespans. As long as one could obtain the approval of a Cosmos Beast, even an ordinary person could live as long as an immortal. Although it was a little exaggerated, it also showed the longevity of Cosmos Beasts.
