Chapter 275 Huang Yuanhua’s Cave

Daytime has arrived.

Xu Changqing and the others left the gathering place and continued on their way to Huang Yuanhua’s cave.

This time it wasn’t just them; there were several other demon-hunting teams as well, all heading to the same destination.

The Black Forest is indeed safer during the day than at night.

Although you may occasionally encounter monsters, most of them are not a great threat.

They even turned and ran away as soon as they saw cultivators, not daring to linger at all.

Several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

As the obstructing black trees diminished, a giant stone mountain came into view.

The entire stone mountain is irregularly cone-shaped, with spiderweb-like cracks covering its surface. Dark yellow earth energy seeps out from the cracks, forming a layer of yellow smoke around the mountain.

On the west side of the mountain, there is a natural depression shaped like an open snake’s mouth. The entrance to the cave seems to have been shaped by someone, carved into the face of a ferocious earth dragon.

At either end of the entrance stand two thick stone pillars, their shafts wrapped with chains made of scales shed by rolling dragons, which rustle and rub against each other when the wind blows.

“This is Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling!”

“We’ve finally made it!”

“It looks really grand!”

Although they hadn’t gotten close yet, Xu Changqing and every tourist around them were deeply shocked by the sight.

It was more visually striking than they had imagined the cave dwelling of a Golden Core cultivator.

Chi Hu said, “Although it looks dangerous, it has been cleared by many demon-hunting teams led by Master Wang, so it is very safe.”

Their team was one of the “participants” in the last operation.

The situation was extremely dangerous at the time.

If it weren’t for Master Wang’s wood element overcoming earth element, suppressing all the earth’s energy and evil spirits…

These demon-hunting teams might not actually be able to kill those rolling dragons.

Of course, the gains afterward were still quite substantial.

It contains all sorts of rare earth-related spiritual plants, earth spirit crystals, earth-related cultivation techniques, spells, and the like.

They even found complete versions of the “Dragon Shaking Technique” and the “Earth Escape Technique”.

Everyone who participated in this operation made money and became rich.

“Um?”

Xu Changqing noticed someone looking in their direction and immediately used Ya Da’s shared vision to observe, discovering it was the guy he had met the previous night.

who?

Li Chuan, a strong man who approaches the abyss of poison and tests the poison on himself!

At some point, the other person also arrived here, intending to go inside as well.

Xu Changqing merely paid attention to this, but did not take it to heart.

Immediately afterwards, he and the people around him walked toward the entrance of Huang Yuanhua’s cave.

Upon entering the cave, one finds a main passage about three zhang wide, with the ground paved with polished earth energy stones. These stones absorb the surrounding earth energy and emit a soft yellow light at night.

The top of the passageway is arched and carved with lifelike bas-reliefs of rolling dragons, each one incredibly vivid and lifelike.

Judging from appearances, Huang Yuanhua’s most beloved spirit pet in his life was the grotesque Rolling Dragon.

Further in, the terrain changes, becoming covered with a thick layer of humus, which is soil specifically used to raise the rolling dragons.

They prefer shade and mostly burrow underground to sleep during the day, only emerging to be active at night.

Today, traces of the battle are everywhere.

This shows how intense the situation was at the time.

As they continued to descend, the group passed through the main passage, and their view suddenly opened up, revealing an incredibly vast underground world before them.

The earth’s energy in this area is incredibly rich.

Chi Hu explained, “This place is said to be Huang Yuanhua’s spiritual plant garden, which covers an area of about a thousand feet and is divided into nine planting areas.”

Each planting area is bounded by the earth’s vein gold line, which is buried underground to form an independent energy-gathering array.

In the center of each area stands a three-zhang-tall earth energy tower, its body made of earth vein crystals. At the top of the tower is a huge vent from which yellow liquid constantly gushes out and flows outwards.

Xu Changqing used the map provided by Wu Mang to identify the different areas one by one.

These are: Spirit Plant Garden, Earth Qi Pool, Cultivation Room, Weapon Refining Room, and Cave Core.

The core of the cave has been destroyed, and the interior looks utterly devastated.

Broken earth spirit crystals were scattered everywhere; theoretically, they could be picked up and sold for spirit stones.

In reality, they have been contaminated and are no longer pure, so nobody wants them.

Otherwise, they would have been taken by the demon-hunting team long ago, and they wouldn’t be so common.

Xu Changqing thought to himself, “If I want to refine the spatial earth element fruit into a Sumeru mustard seed, I must enter the core of the cave and then draw in the surrounding earth energy continuously.”

But there were people all around, and acting rashly would easily attract their attention.

You can only fish in troubled waters if you cause chaos.

While Xu Changqing was thinking about how to cause trouble.

“That guy is here again?”

“Li Chuan?”

“He seems to be heading to the Earth Energy Pool!”

At this moment, Li Chuan reappeared, quickly attracting the attention of those around him.

The earth-energy pool can be soaked in, thereby enhancing the body’s strength.

This thing is similar to the meat-boiling blood pool of the Black Rust Dynasty.

However, there is one prerequisite: the root of the earth element must be present.

But it seems that Li Chuan didn’t just want to soak in the earth’s energy pool; he also took out a flag.

Someone recognized it at a glance and blurted out, “Isn’t that the Earth Flag from the Five Elements Flags?”

Chi Hu’s expression changed drastically: “This person is trying to draw upon the earth’s energy!”

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: “Stealing business?”

However, it was precisely because of Li Chuan’s appearance and his strange actions that he attracted the attention of those around him.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

Upon seeing this, he swayed and vanished from the spot like a ghost.

They rushed toward the core of the destroyed cave at an extremely fast speed.

“Quickly, stop them!”

Li Chuan’s actions could trigger unknown dangers, so many people rushed over.

Red Tiger and his group were all prominently featured in the list.

Li Chuan’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he let out a roar: “No one can stop me!”

The next second, his blood surged, and patterns resembling python scales appeared on his body.

A savage aura, resembling that of a nine-headed blood python, emanated from this person.

Someone said in a trembling voice, “Evil…evil magic, he’s an evil cultivator!”

Upon hearing this, everyone around changed their expressions drastically.

Evil cultivators are notorious not only in the Black Forest, but also throughout the vast Tianyuan Realm.

It is both frightening and repulsive.

While everyone’s attention was drawn to Li Chuan, Xu Changqing had already arrived at the core of the cave and took out the spatial earth element fruit he carried with him.

The fruit is smaller than an adult’s palm, semi-transparent, with golden light flowing inside.

Before it, time seems to stand still, and space seems to freeze.

It instantly resonated with the earth’s energy, as if the core of the cave had been reactivated, causing countless gushes of earth energy to gush out.

In an instant, cultivators other than those with earth and wood spiritual roots were all trapped in an environment that resembled a swamp, with their speed, reaction time, and other aspects all restricted.

These people thought it was Li Chuan who was behind it, and they all glared at him angrily.

Only Li Chuan looked bewildered, his eyes blank: “I… haven’t even made a move yet!”
