"Everyone, hold your breath to prevent the poisonous gas from sinking into the palace."
Lu Qing reminded everyone and then stepped in.
Afterwards, Zhou Yu and others held their breath and entered the ancient palace cautiously.
It was very dark in the ancient temple. Even the monks in the Spirit Control Realm could only barely see their surroundings with all their eyesight.
Although it was dark outside, there was still a ray of light from the sky, but everything was blocked inside the ancient temple, making it even more difficult to see clearly.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
Lu Qing's voice echoed in the hall, and then there was a "bang" sound, and a fire stick was lit. A little flame burned, and the faint glow spread to the surroundings.
With the faint light of the fire, the monks were able to see the general appearance of the ancient temple.
It was very empty, with only some stone pillars supporting the entire palace, and it seemed that there was nothing else in the palace.
Everyone took out tinder from their pockets, or treasures like fluorite that could emit light, which immediately made the hall much brighter.
Zhou Yu also took out a fire starter from his arms, lit it, and used the faint light to illuminate his surroundings, observing carefully.
"Spirit Mirror Dragon, where on earth could the Spirit Mirror Dragon be?" Zhou Yu looked everywhere, but could not find any trace of the Spirit Mirror Dragon.
The hall was so spacious that one could see the surroundings clearly at a glance, except that the deeper parts of the ancient hall were shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly.
"Could it be inside?"
Zhou Yu held the fire lighter in his hand and slowly walked into the depths of the ancient temple.
"Zhou boy, don't be too anxious! There is a high possibility that there are traps or dormant monsters in the ancient temple!"
Lu Qing quickly called out to Zhou Yu, and then walked over with the others.
"I was reckless!"
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly and did not act on his own. Instead, he followed the others and continued walking deeper into the ancient temple.
After walking for a while deeper into the ancient temple, I suddenly discovered a human corpse lying under a stone pillar.
"Um… "
Lu Qing and others paused for a moment, looked around, and when they found nothing unusual, they moved closer.
"It has been who knows how many years since this secret place was opened, and there are actually human corpses here!"
As Lu Qing spoke, he approached the corpse. The other cultivators looked over, hoping that they could get some useful information about the secret realm from the corpse.
Unfortunately, most of the corpse has turned to ashes, with only the outline of the human body remaining.
However, there are a few things that have been kept intact and seem to be of good quality.
A piece of crystal jade, a bamboo scroll, and a partially decayed token.
"It really is the token of the Beast Taming Mountain!"
Everyone used their spiritual energy to capture all three objects. After taking a closer look, they recognized what the token was.
Zhou Yu couldn't recognize these things, but his eyes were fixed on the crystal jade and bamboo scrolls.
Even most of the corpse has turned to ashes and the token has decayed. These two things should be the real good things.
"The method to tame beasts should be in that bamboo scroll."
Zhou Yu thought to himself as he watched Lu Qing slowly open the bamboo scroll.
Lu Qing and the others took a few glances and then recognized the handwriting on it.
"The method of taming beasts..."
There were only a few hundred words on it. After a few glances, they all finished reading it, and then Lu Qing closed it.
"It is a great opportunity to have the chance to read such a book!"
The Yun family's Yuling realm cultivator heaved a sigh of relief. He never thought he would have such luck to see the secret book that had been lost for many years in Yubiao Mountain.
“It’s really good stuff!”
Lu Qing put the bamboo scroll into his arms, then looked at everyone and said, "This secret method is for everyone who sees it. Everyone please write it down. If you need it, you can make a copy of it."
After saying this, he patted the bamboo scroll on his chest which contained the method of taming beasts.
"We'll talk about these things later. The most urgent thing is to finish exploring the ancient temple."
The Yun family's Yuling realm cultivator shook his head slightly, looked around, and felt that there might be more good things here.
Everyone nodded. Even Zhou Yu, who had the lowest cultivation level, had memorized every word of it.
"That's good."
As Lu Qing spoke, he looked towards the crystal jade.
After taking a quick look, he didn't find the secret, so he gave it to someone else to look at.
"This thing seems to be just an ordinary jade."
Zhou Yu took the crystal jade in his hand, looked it up and down, but couldn't see anything different.
The crystal jade turned around and finally returned to Lu Qing's hand.
"Since you can't see it, just leave it here with me. Let's go and take a closer look inside."
Lu Qing shook his head slightly, put the jade stone on himself, and then led everyone to walk deeper into the ancient temple.
It is unknown how deep and wide this ancient temple carved into the mountain wall is.
"Back then, the Beast Taming Mountain wouldn't have hollowed out this mountain, would it?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but look back. The stone door he came in from had turned into a tiny dot of light and was almost invisible. It was obvious that he had gone a long way inside.
Looking forward, it was still pitch black and I couldn't see clearly inside.
It seems like there is still a long way to go inside.
Everyone walked in patiently. After a while, Lu Qing, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to everyone, "We've reached the end!"
Zhou Yu walked forward to take a look. This ancient temple really had an end. It was surrounded by thick rock walls with no way out.
"I didn't expect it to be an empty temple." Deacon Yang shook his head slightly, seeming a little disappointed.
Another deacon consoled him, "It is a great opportunity to obtain the method of taming beasts. This trip to the secret realm is worthwhile."
"That's true."
All the cultivators nodded. Being able to obtain the long-lost method of taming beasts in the Beast Taming Mountain was already a pleasant surprise. Even if the ancient temple did not have other things, it was not a big deal.
"Deacon Lu, what's wrong?" Zhou Yu pretended to be ignorant and asked quickly.
"Something seems to be wrong."
Lu Qing frowned slightly, then took out the crystal jade from his arms, which was glowing slightly and even vibrating slightly.
It seemed as if the jade would explode in the next moment.
"What's wrong with this thing?"
The others were also attracted by the conversation between Lu Qing and Zhou Yu, and then they saw the changes in the crystal jade in Lu Qing's hand, and they felt a little solemn.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, but everyone should be careful."
Lu Qing said this, but just in case, he still used his spiritual energy to place the crystal jade about ten feet away from everyone.
Zhou Yu understood that the dying Lingjing Jiaolong was about to wake up, so he used his spiritual energy to protect himself.
The other monks were also on high alert, protecting themselves to prevent any accidents.
