Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 301: The secret that was missed

"Are you sure? Don't make it look like evening makeup..."

"Oh, so affectionate. Evening makeup~"

"I said, can you get the point?"

"Confidence... about 70% to 80%. No one can be 100% sure of any level. Even the first level of the entrance is risky. A 70% to 80% chance of winning is basically a sure thing."

"Hmm..." Zhao Changhe asked, "Do you need any help?"

"No need... just you?"

"… "

Sanniang smiled and said, "You have already made a great contribution in this matter, and your words sound very nice. You are clearly trying to win me over to fight against Ubalu, but you are making it sound like you are being particularly good to the Four Symbols Sect, as if you are sending gifts to the Four Symbols Sect..."

Zhao Changhe sighed, "That's the truth. Even if I don't give you this thing, I can still win you over to deal with Ubalu. You wanted to kill him anyway, so who are you trying to hide this from?"

Sanniang stopped talking.

Indeed, Zhao Changhe's action of giving the basalt stone at that time had no other factors, it was purely to help the Four Symbols Sect.

Or maybe it could be said that they didn't want the Four Symbols to cause trouble for him. After all, the space was given to Ying Wu. When Sanniang went in and saw that there was nothing there, and the jelly had all been dug up, she would naturally come to him for things, which would be a sign of falling out.

He didn't want to get angry, nor did he covet the gems, so he simply gave it away for free as a favor. At least he could keep the ring, and they wouldn't be embarrassed to ask for it again, after all, he was the one who found the place.

Suzaku also remained silent after obtaining the gem. Even though he now knew that this man was most likely not the descendant of the Night Emperor, it would be difficult for Suzaku to kill him now.

If he used this basalt gem as a betrothal gift to ask for Xia Chichi, or to ask for the marriage of a Winged Fire Snake or something like that, it would probably be quite fun, but he didn't ask for anything, so it was really just given away for free.

No matter how much of a demonic witch she is, she still has to acknowledge favors. This is why Sanniang treats him so well now.

Zhao Changhe suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that you can be promoted. I am also looking forward to the day when your Four Symbols Sect enters the Heavenly Ranking."

Sanniang said: "It will be even more difficult for you to defeat Zhuque this way."

Zhao Changhe didn't seem to care, and instead changed the subject: "The Four Elephants Sect and I have a deep connection, and these are all personal matters, so we can't stop talking about them. Let's talk about something serious? I want the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng, does Ying Wu have any clues?"

"Yes." Sanniang said, "In the far west, there is Kunlun Tianchi. There were records of this thing in the last era, but it is gone in this era. I don't know if it is because of the change of environment or because of too much human destruction, which caused the blood ginseng to not grow as long as it should. If you can find some secret realm there, you may get the blood ginseng left over from ancient times... Of course, the probability is very slim. The secret realm itself is difficult to find, and even if you find it, there may not be blood ginseng. Do you want to go all the way to try?"

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then sighed: "What can I do? I can only try. Anyway, I have no fixed place to live, so it doesn't matter where I go."

"Okay, our people will help you then."

"Your people, do you mean the Four Symbols Sect or Ying Wu?"

Sanniang smiled slightly: "Of course there are. But you have to be careful, there are powerful forces over there, and there is also the Heavenly Ranking."

Zhao Changhe didn't react: "I know. I'm not going to cause trouble. It doesn't matter if I'm on the Heavenly Ranking or not. They won't kill anyone they see... In fact, having a big power is a good thing. Maybe they have hidden the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng. I can still try to make a deal with them..."

"You're overthinking." Sanniang had a blank expression on her face. "That's the land of exile, a paradise for evildoers. Many evildoers who can't make it in the Middle Earth are there, including those who are wanted, those who have offended powerful enemies, and all kinds of people. There are countless Middle Earth knights who have disappeared there quietly. Tang Wanzhuang's people dare not easily set foot there, and our Four Elephants Sect does not dare to recruit followers there casually... If you go there with a stranger, you might get your head chopped off at any time. Do you still want to make a deal with others?"

"Then I'll keep a low profile. At most I can say I'm the king of the road."

Sanniang: “…”

In fact, Sanniang felt a little strange at this moment. Some things are indeed predestined.

Chi Chi's training place this time is right there, the Western White Tiger, which is just what she wanted, her first level of secret treasure is here. And maybe Suzaku will go there too, not only to secretly protect Chi Chi, but also to make some final preparations for her to break through the third level of secret treasure.

As a result, this guy went there to find the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng. Sanniang hadn't told Zhuque about this yet. This was a matter related to Yingwu. I wonder what sparks would come out if these people met there by chance... Thinking of this, Sanniang didn't want to go to Huangshaji anymore. What's fun in Huangshaji now? It's not as fun as Kunlun...

It’s a pity that I need to go to the Xuanwu Secret Realm to take a look. Practicing there would probably be benefits, but I can’t leave in the short term. What a pity.

"Oh, right..." Zhao Changhe knocked his head and said, "Sanniang, do you know where the thief's door is?"

"Why do you think of asking this?" "I think they like this kind of place very much, right? I thought of it immediately."

"Yes, the Thieves' Sect should be located over there. No one knows the exact location of the gate. Maybe this ordinary grocery store may actually be the Thieves' Sect's headquarters."

"This is enough to have the confirmation." Zhao Changhe finally found the answers to many of his questions. He raised his glass in a good mood and said, "Sanniang is really my lucky star."

Sanniang clinked glasses with a smile, "Same here. When are you planning to go?"

Zhao Changhe looked inward silently.

During the past few days of teaching everyone how to practice, my own injuries have indeed healed. I also used the Heavenly Book to revive myself and spent a few days studying my sword skills and the Vulture Fang spear, and I feel like I have made considerable progress.

As for the breakthrough of the ninth level of Blood Evil Skill… After studying the blood card given by Ying Wu, I feel that if the evil spirit in the blood card is extracted and cultivated, it is indeed possible to break through the ninth level. However, according to Cui Wenjing's theory, if you rely solely on this breakthrough method, you can only reach the ninth level halfway. If you want to achieve the perfection of the life-and-death cultivation, you still need to hone your skills and gain insights. There is no rush.

This item is a good start. When the opportunity comes, you don't need to think about where to find the evil spirit to absorb. Just prepare it in advance. The annoying thing is that I carry more and more things, which is really uncomfortable. The first thing I will do when I go to the west is probably not to find the blood ginseng, but to find the thief's door.

Thinking of this, he said, "Actually, I can leave anytime... Before that, can I entrust Sanniang with one more thing?"

Sanniang was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"If we hand over the brothers in the village to the Blood God Cult... then there will probably be no problem if Sanniang introduces them to the cult?"

Sanniang looked at him meaningfully for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Little brother is not being honest, and is planning to take over my place."

Zhao Changhe also smiled and said nothing.

"I just need to write them a letter of introduction. Xue Canghai must give me this face." Sanniang stood up lazily, stretched, and her emotions surged.

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and drank.

"Since you have made additional requests to me, I will also make a small request." Sanniang turned and went out: "Take me to Qinglongtan to have a look."

Qinglongtan, Water Curtain Cave.

That was the place where Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi had pledged their love. During the time when Xia Chichi left with Zhuque and Zhao Changhe became the leader of the mountain stronghold, Zhao Changhe rarely came here, and when he did, it was only for war preparations...

Because when you come here, it is easy to be reminded of people by the things you see, which affects your martial arts improvement during that period.

Today, it is the beginning of summer, and this is no longer a problem. Zhao Changhe also wants to enter the Water Curtain Cave again to see if everyone missed anything at that time.

I took Sanniang into the cave. The space inside was still not big. There was a small altar in the center where the Azure Dragon Seal was placed. There was nothing else. The overall structure was very similar to the Xuanwu Cave, and it was obvious that it was passed down from the same system.

But the altar in the Xuanwu Cave can be pushed open, and after pushing it open is the exit.

What about here

Sanniang's eyes also fell on the altar. Seeing that Zhao Changhe seemed to want to push it away, she suddenly stretched out her hand to stop him: "Don't move."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

Sanniang frowned and looked for a long time, then suddenly said, "This place gives me a strange feeling... The energy is a little abnormal. Such a peaceful and ordinary place actually makes me feel frightened... You were lucky that you didn't touch it randomly. If you really pushed it open, I guess Beimang would be gone..."

Zhao Changhe took a breath of cold air.

Could it be that Beimang was moved to the north of the capital because of this

Does this mean that the huge secret is actually hidden in the Novice Village

Sanniang walked around the altar and looked at it again and again for a long time, and her brows relaxed again: "Oh, it's not that exaggerated. Most people can't push it. Let me see..."

She held the altar and turned it slightly, changing its position.

You can almost hear the rumbling sound coming from underground, as if some huge mechanism is connecting things underground.

"The ancient Azure Dragon is also the heir of the Human Emperor..." Sanniang turned to look at Zhao Changhe, her eyes sparkling: "Do you think I should chop you up and occupy the treasure house alone?"

Zhao Changhe said angrily: "If I'm not mistaken, there is a grave inside, and there is a person lying inside who wants to crawl out."
