Primordial Treasure Mirror

The moment the Qi Refining Perfection cultivator fled.

Su Yang realized that this person had sensed something was wrong and therefore used some kind of explosive magic to force them back, and then took the opportunity to escape.

However, being aware of it is one thing.

At this moment, the Qi Refining Perfection cultivator's speed was too fast for him to catch up with.

Moreover, even if he could catch up, it would be difficult for him to keep them here on his own.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Su Yang decided not to give chase.

"Any burst spell will cause considerable damage to the user, and given the injury just suffered, it will probably be difficult to recover in a short time. Let's leave it for now."

The Qi Refining Perfection cultivator fled, leaving only one sentence in the distance:

"I will remember what happened today; there will be plenty of time in the future."

Seeing him leave, Su Yang ignored him and turned to look at the person being chased.

That person had just been fully engaged in attacking the cultivators chasing him alongside Su Yang, and had consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy.

Seeing Su Yang looking over, he also looked at Su Yang, revealing a sincere expression of gratitude, and said:

"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist. My name is Zhou Xian, a rogue cultivator from Mingzhou. If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid I would have lost my life here."

Su Yang looked at him coldly and said calmly:

"It's not that I want to save you, but that you have ill intentions. You're trying to lure that person towards me, hoping to shift the blame and use me as a scapegoat."

Zhou Xian smiled awkwardly upon hearing this:

"Isn't this because there's really no other way?"

"What I did was indeed wrong, but fellow Daoist, you must understand. People often do irrational things in times of crisis. In the end, isn't it good that we're both safe and sound?"

Su Yang didn't speak, but his gaze towards him gradually became dangerous.

Zhou Xian's expression tightened, and he quickly spoke again:

"But rest assured, fellow Daoist, what I said earlier was true. I really did discover a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling; I was not lying to you!"

Su Yang's expression shifted slightly, and he raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Where is that cave dwelling?"

Zhou Xian took two steps to the side and pointed southwest:

"There is a hidden cave about twenty miles away.

"I accidentally triggered the restrictions within, and that's when I discovered that the cave should belong to a disciple of the Golden Moon Sect."

"Before I even had a chance to go in and investigate, that bastard spotted me."

At this point, Zhou Xian became indignant:

"That bastard was really lucky. He came in from outside the secret realm and landed not far away. He saw me and the cave after only a few steps, and then he decided to kill me."

Su Yang wasn't interested in what happened between him and the Qi Refining Perfection cultivator; he was only interested in the Foundation Establishment cave dwelling.

"Are you sure that cave is a Foundation Establishment cave?"

Zhou Xian was quite confident:

"I am certain. If you do not believe me, I will take you there now. Just as I said before, everything inside that cave belongs to you."

Su Yang stared at him for a few moments, then nodded slightly.

"Alright, you lead the way, but let me make this clear: if you try anything funny when we get there, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhou Xian waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, fellow Daoist. I have witnessed your strength firsthand. I am no match for you. How could I dare to play any tricks?"

Su Yang was thinking to himself:

"The Golden Moon Sect's Foundation Establishment Cave should contain some good things, as long as no one else has entered and explored it."

"If we can obtain what's inside, then this trip to the secret realm will have been worthwhile."

He then glanced southwest and said to Zhou Xian:

"That would be best."

Zhou Xian then led the way.

The speed wasn't fast, and we occasionally stopped to check our direction.

Su Yang followed not far behind Zhou Xian, always maintaining a distance of about two zhang, neither too far nor too close.

Su Yang never relaxed, keeping his spiritual energy circulating within him, ready to unleash the Flying Scythe Slash technique at any moment.

He never trusted Zhou Xian.

"This person is definitely not a good person. When he saw me while being chased, his first reaction was to run towards me, and he even tried to put me on the same side as him, which was clearly malicious."

"It would be good enough if I could believe half of what this person says. His claim about the Foundation Establishment Cave may not be false, but he may not be willing to share the benefits with me."

"Once we enter the cave, we must keep a close eye on him and act with caution."

Su Yang stared at Zhou Xian's back, extremely wary of him.

Zhou Xian seemed to sense Su Yang's wariness, and even turned back to smile at him as he walked away.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I, Zhou Xian, keep my word. I said that everything in the cave is yours, and I will not take a single item."

"What I did just now was indeed wrong, but I still understand the principle of repaying kindness."

Su Yang remained expressionless, neither confirming nor denying.

Zhou Xian said no more and continued on his way.

The scenery along the way gradually changed from open slopes to a slightly dense grove of low trees and jagged piles of rocks.

While keeping an eye on the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations and unusual aura, Su Yang observed Zhou Xian's actions.

He discovered that although the man claimed to have discovered the cave by chance, his actions clearly showed that he was quite familiar with the area.

He walked with great determination, almost without hesitation or pause, clearly having a thorough understanding of the terrain.

"This person definitely did not discover this place by chance as he claimed. Perhaps he already knew about the inner cave of the Golden Moon Secret Realm."

Su Yang thought to himself, becoming even more wary of Zhou Xian.

About fifteen minutes later.

Zhou Xian led him to a stone wall.

The stone wall was covered with vines and moss, and looked normal.

Zhou Xian reached out and touched the stone wall a few times, then suddenly injected magical power into a certain spot.

The stone wall then made a dull thud and slowly moved aside, revealing a door behind it.

The door was engraved with fine patterns, but over the years, these patterns have been damaged, and the restrictions on it have become ineffective.

When Zhou Xian saw the door, his expression clearly became excited, and his tone was filled with suppressed excitement:

"Fellow Daoist, this is it. The cave dwelling of the Foundation Establishment True Disciple of the Golden Moon Sect. I would never mistake this type of restriction pattern."

Su Yang didn't get excited upon hearing this; instead, he gave him a calm glance.

"You even know the layout and restrictions of the Golden Moon Sect's true disciple's cave dwelling?"

Zhou Xian paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist, don't underestimate me just because I'm a rogue cultivator. I enjoy reading ancient books in my spare time."

"I've read quite a few ancient books over the years, one of which is the miscellaneous records of the Golden Moon Sect. It contains a lot of scattered notes, and I saw the design of the restrictions on this cave dwelling in one of those books."

Su Yang remained noncommittal, but inwardly he sneered.

"A rogue cultivator who enjoys reading, managed to find the Golden Moon Sect's miscellaneous records, and even knew the layout of the True Inheritance Cave—is that really a coincidence? You're kidding me!"

He didn't believe Zhou Xian's words at all.

He now had a guess: the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary rogue cultivator, and was most likely related to the Golden Moon Sect, a Golden Core Immortal Sect from a thousand years ago.

Perhaps Zhou Xianzheng is a descendant of the Golden Moon Sect disciples, which is why he knows so much about this place!
