Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 233 Exploring the Mysterious Treasure Hunt
Inside the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom, some ancient books were moving without any wind, but the cultivators responsible for guarding these ancient books seemed not to see it, keeping their eyes closed as if they were focused on their cultivation.

Only after all sound ceased did the cultivator dare to open his eyes, panting heavily like an ordinary person to calm his turbulent emotions.

Just now, he felt an unusually solid divine sense descend upon him, fixing his soul in place.

This rendered him unable to speak or move.

He knew that he had encountered a master who could help him.

But what matters within the Great Yan Kingdom would require at least the intervention of the Out-of-Body Daoist?
The cultivator felt a sense of unease and got up to go to the Imperial Study. He needed to inform the Prince of Yan about this matter as soon as possible so that preparations could be made.

Meanwhile, the master he had envisioned was sitting in a small shop, eating and listening to a storyteller.

A bite of twice-cooked pork is rich but not greasy, with a strong aroma and a lingering aftertaste that makes you want to eat three bowls of rice.

Another bowl of "Three Treasures of the Earth" is fresh, fragrant, and refreshing, making one's appetite soar and one can't help but want to eat several more bowls.

Lin Le ate heartily, while the large bowls stacked next to him were already half a person high.

With high cultivation level, one can be so willful; there's no need to worry about not being able to eat the delicious food.

The shopkeeper didn't try to stop him. He was happily holding a high-grade spirit stone in his hand while turning to tell the kitchen to speed up the preparation of the dishes.

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, preserved pork belly, dried sausage... whatever you have, serve it.

We'd better serve this big shot well today!
After putting down the last bowl, Lin Le let out a satisfied burp. Although he wasn't full, he was already a little tired from eating.

Moreover, he always felt something was missing if he didn't burp after a big meal.

After taking a sip of juice, Lin Le snapped his fingers, and his magic transformed into a map with yellow and blue lines crisscrossing it, dotted with points of interest—the coordinates of ancient ruins where they had been unearthed.

As Lin Le slid his finger, these coordinates connected together, forming a dense network of lines.

Lin Le would occasionally swipe his finger to delete some lines and dots, and sometimes add a few points.

After a while, Lin Le looked at the picture above and touched his chin with his finger.

Is it the Western Seven Mansions, the Kui Wood Wolf Star Chart?

He understood star charts very well, since his mastery of formations was based on star charts, so he quickly found the similarities.

Lin Le waved his hand, and some dots on the map suddenly turned gold, leaving only a few dots as red dots.

His gaze fell on the red dot, pondering what kind of formation it was.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out the secrets of this sealing formation and needed more array points to make an analysis.

Turning to look at Ling Muzhu, who was taking small bites of dessert, Lin Le asked, "Would you like to pack some desserts to eat on the way?"

Ling Muzhu glanced at the lotus-shaped pastry in her hand, then licked her rosy, slightly oily lips with her glistening tongue.

After much hesitation, I decided to take some: "Okay."

Lin Le shouted, "Boss, some more desserts, to go."

"Alright!" the shopkeeper replied loudly.

With the packed desserts in hand, Lin Le and Ling Muzhu disappeared into the crowd.

Soon after, two figures suddenly appeared beside a hill.

The powerful divine sense swept across this world, and then in one place, the earth and rocks began to crumble, completely revealing a large pillar.

Lin Le arrived at the large pillar, looked it over, and confirmed that this bronze pillar was the same type as the previous one, and should belong to the same sealing formation.

With a wave of his hand, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords transformed into countless stars once more, flying out and merging into the earth.

The intertwined energy separated the earth's veins, and Lin Le reached out and moved it aside. Ling Muzhu then made her move again, taking out a piece of dragon claw bone.

Lin Le took the dragon claw bone, tossed it around, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, as if he had grasped some key point.

In my mind, mountains and waterways are connected, and red dots are used as key nodes to vaguely outline the shape of a dragon.

Unfortunately, there is too little information, and the terrain is varied, resulting in hundreds of different dragon shapes.

We'll have to take another look.

Lin Le ignited the Primordial Chaos Flame in his hand, melting the essence in the dragon claw. This time, he didn't merge it into his own body, but into the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Spear.

The dragon claw doesn't contain much blood essence, so it's not very useful for finishing touches; it's better to help the weapon break through.

After being infused with the essence of the dragon claw, the Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Spear, which was already a perfect and top-grade spiritual weapon, showed signs of further improvement.

Seeing this, Lin Le did not hesitate and poured all the remaining killing karma into the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Spear.

As if piercing through the last membrane, with a resounding clang, the Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Spear broke through to the level of a low-grade magic weapon, and the originally bright red spear body was now adorned with some golden patterns resembling fire and clouds.

Satisfied, Lin Le brandished the fire-tipped spear a few times before leading Ling Muzhu toward their next destination.

However, this time they came up empty-handed. The bronze pillars here were different in style from the previous bronze pillars and did not belong to the same sealing formation.

Lin Le had anticipated this situation, since those bronze pillars were connected to the earth's veins and were rarely exposed.

It's perfectly normal for the information we obtain to contain some falsehoods.

Lin Le continued on to the next location, which was also fake.

The next one, which is also the last one on hand.

This time it was for real; Lin Le knew it was all right when he saw the bronze pillar.

It was the same old routine: the Yin-Yang Twin Swords blocked the earth's veins, Lin Le moved the bronze pillar aside, and Ling Muzhu took the object that was being suppressed.

This time it was a tibia, but Lin Le couldn't tell which leg it was from because he had never systematically dissected a real dragon, and real dragons have four legs, so it's not that easy to tell them apart.

Looking at the map in his mind, Lin Le gave up the idea of ​​investigating further; there were too many possibilities, and it would be a waste of time.

By refining the essence of this shinbone into his body, his physical body took another small step forward.

Temporarily abandoning the idea of ​​finding the sealing node, Lin Le focused his attention on the Kui Mulang star map.

Compared to the uncertain sealing nodes, the star map is almost always certain, and one can easily navigate through it.

I just don't know if she'll mind?
Lin Le's eyes couldn't help but drift backward; his actions were practically no different from tomb raiding.

However, she probably wouldn't mind, since he removed the sealing node for her, which can be considered a meritorious deed.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Le didn't think too much about it and led Ling Muzhu toward a bronze gate that had not yet been discovered.

The earth and rocks surged, revealing a bronze gate ten feet high.

Just as Lin Le was about to break the magic array, Ba behind him suddenly flicked her hand, and then the bronze gate opened automatically.

Lin Le glanced back discreetly and saw that Ba was still standing quietly behind him, without any change.

'An instinctive reaction, or a faint trace of consciousness?'

While Lin Le pondered, he led Ling Muzhu through the bronze gate with a calm expression.
