Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Master Ren was unaware of Li Yu's thoughts.

When I heard that he was leaving, I felt like I had been struck by lightning, as if the sky had fallen!

He jumped up from the chair with a bang, not even caring that the account book had fallen.

"Master, has my Ren family failed to provide adequate hospitality during this period? In what way have I failed to satisfy you?"

"You said I'd change anything you're unhappy about! Or did someone upset you? I'll go and kill them right now!"

Li Yu raised his hand slightly to calm the somewhat agitated Master Ren before speaking.

"It has nothing to do with these things; I'm leaving because I have things to do."

"Besides, it's not like we're not coming back, what's the panic?"

Hearing these words, Master Ren felt much better.

Return it? That's fine then...

But then, Master Ren asked cautiously.

"Master, do you remember what I told you about moving the grave a few days ago?"

My elderly father's grave is about to be moved, and a master is right in front of me.

Master Ren naturally requested that he take charge.

Li Yu readily agreed.

However, he never intended to move the grave to find auspicious feng shui.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Li Yu didn't really delve into this aspect much.

I can only say I know a little bit; to say I'm highly proficient would be bragging.

Moreover, given Old Master Ren's condition, there was really no need to move the grave!

Seeing Master Ren's worried expression, Li Yu calmly spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't be gone for long. I'll be back during the time your father's grave is being moved."

"As for your plan to move the grave, there's a Lin Jiuyao in Renjia Town. You can just go to him."

"Until I return, just proceed as you originally planned."

Upon hearing this, Master Ren immediately frowned.

"Lin Jiu? Uncle Jiu? Him?"

"Will it work?"

This period of contact has given Master Ren a deep trust in Li Yu, to the point of being somewhat blind!

With Li Yu as his predecessor, he now sees other cultivators as either charlatans or incompetent, and they all seem unreliable!

Seeing Master Ren's suspicious and distrustful look, Li Yu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

I wonder if Lin Jiu will become famous if he finds out about this...

"Don't worry, Lin Jiu is a highly skilled disciple of Maoshan. He is quite capable."

Hearing Li Yu's guarantee, Master Ren reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll contact Lin Jiu after I get back to Renjia Town."

"Master, since you're leaving, how about I arrange a banquet tonight..."

Before Master Ren could finish speaking, Li Yu interrupted him.

"No need, time is tight this time, I'll be back as soon as possible."

He couldn't wait any longer; if he stayed another night, he was afraid that Aunt Zhe would block the door the next day.

This old woman has an incredibly sensitive sense!

Seeing Li Yu's resolute attitude, Master Ren did not try to persuade him any further and respectfully spoke.

"Then I will await your arrival in Renjia Town, Master, and host a welcoming banquet for you."

"........."

Without packing anything, Li Yu left Nandu directly.

They arrived the same way they came, and left the same way, except that their storage bags contained more gold, silver, and valuables.

The treasure land recorded in the secret map is located in the middle of Nandu and Renjia Town, which is not far away.

Half an hour later.

Ren Tingting returned with a warm roast goose, looked around the lobby, but did not see Li Yu.

Ren Tingting then went to find Mr. Ren.

"Dad, where is Master? Didn't he say that the roast goose at Cuixiang Pavilion was delicious when we ate together last time? I specially brought one back for him."

Master Ren looked up from the account book and sighed softly.

"The master has passed away."

"Gone?"

Ren Tingting tightened her grip on the roast goose, her knuckles turning white, and her expression became somewhat somber.

"Will you come back?"

"Go back!"

The next day, it was just barely dawn.

With her hair disheveled and looking like she had a bird's nest on her head, Aunt Sugarcane came to the door.

That night, she had a bad feeling and couldn't sleep!

But fearing that disturbing him in the middle of the night would upset Li Yu, he stopped teaching him.

And so, after enduring a sleepless night of agonizing anxiety, Aunt Zhe arrived at the Ren family's residence.

"What? What! Li Yu is gone?!"

"Aaaaaaah!!! You bastard! You lied to me?!"

"......."

Seeing the furious Auntie Zhe, Mr. Ren, who was still wearing his pajamas and looking a little tired, instantly perked up and shrank back, not daring to look at her.

The master seems to have said that this person was also a highly accomplished disciple of Maoshan.

I can't afford to mess with them...

But why does it seem like there's such a huge gap between cultivators...?

...............

Three days later, under the scorching sun.

Li Yu stood before a desolate mountain range.

This place is known as Mount Wangming, shrouded in fog year-round, with poisonous vegetation everywhere, and dense, lush trees that make it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

Therefore, even at noon, the interior of Mount Wangming was extremely dark.

In addition to the presence of poisonous barriers, apart from a few snakes, rats, ants, and insects, there are no living creatures at all here.

In such an environment, it would be a luxury for an ordinary person to even survive half a day!

Therefore, the area within a hundred miles of Mount Wangming is deserted and uninhabited!

Taking a deep breath of the escaping poisonous miasma, Li Yu's double pupils flashed with excitement.

"What a...wonderful place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu's figure disappeared, disappearing deep into the Ming Mountain!

In the desolate mountains, it was dark and damp, with the wind blowing from time to time, making the trees rustle and accompanied by the hissing of snakes and insects, which made it seem somewhat eerie and unsettling.

Snapped!

He stomped on the poisonous insect blocking his way and crushed it.

Five men, all dressed in black robes with armor underneath and different masks on their chins, clearly belonged to the same organization. They were walking through the forest with a man in a gray robe who looked somewhat nervous.

The gray-robed man was named Zhao Zheng. He was an ordinary rogue cultivator in the cultivation world. Like most ordinary people, he had been practicing hard for decades but was still hovering in the Qi Refining Realm, and had not even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Similarly, like most Qi Refining cultivators, his biggest dream in this life is to get rid of the title of Qi Refiner and become the Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator in everyone's eyes!

However, he lacked both talent and opportunity, and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage seemed hopeless in this lifetime.

Until half a year ago, after ambushing and killing a rogue cultivator, Zhao Zheng obtained the secret map of Mount Wangming!

I now know that there is a precious medicine here, a medicine that could give me hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Like Wang Zhengyang, Zhao Zheng came excitedly to explore, but he was frightened away by the demonic aura of the Foundation Establishment stage before he could go any deeper.

Wang Zhengyang had encountered Li Yu; if he had waited more than ten years, he could have conquered the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhao Zheng had nothing!

Without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, one cannot enter the Mingshan Mountain; without entering the Mingshan Mountain, one cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

It's a dead end!

This plunged Zhao Zheng, who had thought he had found hope, into despair.

After a year of difficult deliberation, Zhao Zheng finally made his decision.

Since we can't handle this Mingshan Mountain ourselves, let's find someone who can!

Even if I don't want to eat the whole thing, just having some soup is better than watching others drool!

Subsequently, Zhao Zheng chose the Qing Dynasty, which offered the highest price.

It is not surprising that the imperial court possesses the power of cultivators.

After all, in this world with extraordinary power, it is impossible to conquer a territory with just fierce soldiers and generals.

Mortals interact with each other, and cultivators interact with each other; each has their own role.

After traveling for some time, they still found no signs of any medicinal herbs.

The man in the lead, wearing a gold half-mask engraved with the number seven, spoke impatiently.

"Are you sure there's a powerful medicine in this Mingshan Mountain? You're not lying to us?"
