Chapter 120: Instructor Lin, This is Indeed Your Good Fortune

The flying boat turned and headed in the direction pointed by the sword.

In the flying boat, Bai Suzhen looked at Han Muye curiously.

“Senior Brother Han, this is the cave abode of an ancient cultivator. Why are you willing to share it with me?”

In the cultivation world, touching a great cultivator and touching the ancient times were all opportunities.

Lin Shen also turned to look at Han Muye.

In his opinion, Bai Suzhen was not from the Sword Sect after all. Sharing the cave abode of a great cultivator with her was not as reliable as returning to the sect to find an expert from the Sword Sect.

Could it be that Brother Han was mesmerized by the beauty of this shop owner Bai and was even willing to share a treasure like the cave abode of a great cultivator?

Han Muye shook his head and said, “Can a cultivator’s cave abode from 10,000 years ago really have any treasures?

If there really is, this sword wouldn’t have appeared in the auction.”

Since the swords were already at the auction, all the treasures would naturally have been plundered.

Otherwise, it would be sealed up and outsiders would definitely not know about it.

Bai Suzhen smiled and nodded. “Senior Brother Han, who knows, you might be lucky.”

Lin Shen lowered his head in shame.

He was the one who had thought about it.

Brother Han was a serious person.

Han Muye turned to look out of the cabin.

According to the remnant soul of the sword cultivator, there were still many treasures in his cave abode.

However, Han Muye did not believe this.

It was also because of this that he led Bai Suzhen there.

He didn’t know how strong Bai Suzhen’s cultivation was. At the very least, Manager He, who was holding the boat outside, was an Earth Realm expert.

If Han Muye returned to the sect, he really wouldn’t be able to find a familiar Earth Realm expert to accompany him.

As for the Sword Pavilion Elder and Patriarch Tao Ran, Han Muye did not consider them.

If he invited such an expert, he would have to return the favor.

If there’s really a treasure, would I have a share of it?

…

The flying boat moved forward and kept changing directions. A day later, it stopped in the depths of a continuous mountain range.

At this moment, they were already tens of thousands of kilometers away from Nine Mystic Mountain.

The sword was quietly floating in front of a dense forest.

The trees were huge and continuous, and the limestone cliffs were dense.

A faint fog enveloped the forest, making it look deep and quiet.

“Wumeng Mountain, Gra.s.s Cover Forest?” Manager He frowned and said, “There are many demon beasts here, and there are even great demons that are at least at the Earth Realm.”

Standing at the bow, Bai Suzhen whispered, “Uncle He, do you think it’s dangerous here?”

Manager He chuckled and said, “It’s not that dangerous. For my Shangyang Demon Sect, there aren’t many truly dangerous places in the Western Frontier.”

As expected, the arrogance of a large sect was vividly displayed.

Han Muye reached out and grabbed the sword that led the way.

In his mind, the image of the white-haired Daoist Dayan appeared.

“Little friend, my cave abode is not far from here.

Don’t worry, there are no demon beasts here.

As long as you find the place where I died and help me find the opportunity to reincarnate, you can take all the treasures in the cave abode.”

Daoist Dayan’s voice was sincere as he sighed and said, “Back then, I accidentally died and my remnant soul couldn’t reincarnate. My Nascent Soul cultivation was wasted for 10,000 years. It’s really…”

A cultivator who had stepped into the Heaven Realm had condensed his Nascent Soul.

When a cultivator’s lifespan was about to end, or when his body was damaged, his Nascent Soul could leave his body, reincarnate, or possess him.

To a Heaven Realm cultivator, if their Nascent Soul had not died, they would really be immortal.

Of course, whether it was reincarnation or possession, they had to pay a huge price.

Han Muye nodded slightly and flew down, sword in hand.

Lin Shen carried his sword and followed behind him.

Bai Suzhen waved her hand, and her figure was wrapped in a thin veil as she landed in the forest.

Shopkeeper He put away the flying boat and followed.

Their speed in the dense forest slowed down a lot. Fortunately, just as Daoist Dayan said, they did not encounter any demon beasts along the way.

Two hours later, before nightfall, Han Muye stopped in front of a stone wall.

There were marks on the stone wall and traces of a cave.

It seemed that this was the cave abode that Daoist Dayan had mentioned.

“There are indeed traces of cultivators staying here, but could it be a grand cultivator’s cave abode? It’s been too long, so I can’t tell,” Manager He looked around and said softly.

Among the four of them, his cultivation was the best. He was an Earth Realm expert, so he naturally had to be more vigilant.

Moreover, he was responsible for protecting Bai Suzhen, so he didn’t dare to be careless.

Lin Shen raised his hand, and a spiritual light turned into a golden light in his palm, illuminating a radius of several meters.

Then he strode into the cave.

He knew his limits. Among the four of them, if he didn’t scout, he couldn’t count on Han Muye to scout.

Han Muye followed behind him, the sword in his hand vibrating gently, as if urging him on.

The cave was deep and wide.

Nearly a thousand feet ahead was a wide stone room.

There were all kinds of stone benches and stone chairs, but most of them had eroded, and some had fallen apart.

Lin Shen held the golden light in his palm and shone it around. There were stone walls all around, and there was no way forward.

The cave was empty and there was nothing to find.

“Quick, shatter the left mountain wall. The place where I died is over there.”

Han Muye turned to look at the mountain wall to his left.

“Senior, you promised to give me all the treasures, don’t go back on your word,” Han Muye whispered softly in his mind.

“All for you, all for you,” Dayan urged impatiently.

After all, he had waited for 10,000 years. It was understandable that he was anxious now.

Han Muye walked up to the stone wall and placed his hand on it.

It was cold to the touch.

Behind him, the shadows of iron bulls appeared.

“Boom—”

With a punch, the stone wall exploded and collapsed from above.

“Brother Han, be careful.” Lin Shen flew forward, his body shining with spiritual light as he stood in front of Han Muye.

Although Lin Shen had not reached the Foundation Establishment realm, his Qi Condensation cultivation was not bad. He was also a body-tempering expert. He stood in front of Han Muye and blocked all the gravel and dust.

When the rubble was gone, there was a 20-foot-wide stone room ahead.

In the stone room, a skeleton sat upright.

There were a few swords and jade bottles scattered beside the skeleton. They were all flashing with spiritual light.

A faint spiritual aura emitted from the stone chamber.

“There’s indeed something hidden.

This stone wall locks up the spiritual energy. Without guidance, we really won’t be able to discover it.” Manager He took a step forward and narrowed his eyes.

“The bones are sparkling. These are the bones of a great cultivator.

Such a skeleton is also a treasure.”

He stepped forward slowly, then his expression changed.

“Hmph, can a mere poison stop me?”

He waved his hand and a gust of wind swept past. A puff of green poisonous smoke scattered from the originally clear stone room.

Lin Shen protected Han Muye and retreated. However, just as he moved, endless spiritual light suddenly appeared in the stone room.

The ancient sword in Han Muye’s hand shattered, turning into rays of spiritual light that rushed towards the jade-white skeleton.

“Boom—”

On the jade white skeleton, a layer of light blocked the shattered sword.

“Old Man Zhongyun, 10,000 years have pa.s.sed, but you still don’t give me a chance!” A furious voice sounded.

The white-robed Daoist Dayan appeared. He gritted his teeth and glared at the skeleton.

“Artifact spirit!” Shopkeeper He stared at Daoist Dayan with surprise in his eyes, which turned into joy.

“An artifact spirit that can survive for 10,000 years must be a precious treasure.” Gang Feng surrounded Manager He and shouted, “Miss, step back. I’ll take the treasure.”

Bai Suzhen nodded and retreated. She looked at Han Muye and said, “Senior Brother Han, don’t worry. If there are treasures, Uncle He and I will definitely not take them.”

It was taboo to be greedy when cooperating in treasure hunting.

Bai Suzhen spoke at this moment to rea.s.sure Han Muye.

After all, Han Muye’s potential was not something that a few treasures could compare to.

“Old Man Zhongyun, are you willing?” Seeing Manager He step forward, Daoist Dayan roared and rushed towards the jade white skeleton again.

This time, the light screen around the skeleton shook, and then Daoist Dayan rushed in.

Manager He’s expression changed. He raised his hand and a strong wind turned into a huge palm that slapped down.

“Boom—”

Before the palm landed, it was shattered by the golden light on the skeleton.

The skeleton, which had been sitting with its head down, looked up.

Blue flames rose in his sunken eyes.

“Hurry up and leave! This sword spirit has seized control! We can’t block it under the Core Formation realm!” Manager He shouted in a low voice and retreated. The astral wind around him wrapped around Bai Suzhen and she quickly retreated.

“Senior Brother Han, leave quickly. Let’s find an expert.” Bai Suzhen’s anxious voice sounded.

“Brother Han, you go first.” Lin Shen held his sword and stood in front of Han Muye.

The jade-colored skeleton grinned and made a sound of friction.

“Leave? I have food now. Stay!”

As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual light flashed. Spirit patterns intertwined and turned into ropes that chased after the fleeing Manager He.

The jade-colored skeleton looked at Han Muye. “Kid, everything here is yours.

I didn’t go back on my word.

As long as you’re alive to take it with you.”

At this point, he slowly stepped forward and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, you gave me a chance to live again. I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Stretching out his jade-white finger bones, its hazy green light enveloped Han Muye.

“I still lack sword slaves.”

“Go away—”

At this moment, Lin Shen, who was originally shielding Han Muye, shouted wildly. The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and with an endless torrent of sword light, he slashed down!

“Boom—”

The sword light slashed down. Before the jade-colored skeleton could react, it was already struck on the head by the sword.

The sword exploded, but the jade skeleton also shattered on the ground.

Even Han Muye was slightly stunned by this sudden scene.

The spiritual light in his palm slowly surged. He did not raise his hand again.

“Draw a million swords and shatter a mountain.”

Looking at the skeleton that was shattered by his sword, Lin Shen muttered in a daze.

Even Manager He, who was in the Earth Realm, did not dare to face the skeleton of a Heaven Realm cultivator head-on, but it was shattered by Lin Shen’s sword!

The power of this sword was at least comparable to the Earth Realm!

“Brother, you’re not lying to me.”

At this point, his expression changed drastically as he looked at the half-broken sword in his hand.

“Big Brother!”

Lin Shen let out a sorrowful cry.

“Boom—”

The scattered bones on the ground rushed towards Lin Shen and wrapped him up.

“With a sword in your heart, you’re born with a sword seed. After refining this body, you’ll be better than a sword slave.”

Dayan sounded pleasantly surprised.

Lin Shen’s entire body trembled. He was wrapped by the jade white skeleton and could not move at all.

“Senior, isn’t this too much?” Han Muye’s voice sounded.

“Repaying kindness with ingrat.i.tude?” Daoist Dayan’s voice was filled with madness. “For 10,000 years, I was trapped in a sword. Do you think I have to repay your small favor?

If it weren’t for the fact that Old Man Chongyun was old-fashioned back then and would rather die in meditation than integrate with me, why would I be lonely for 10,000 years?”

“With his sword bones and my sword cultivation, I would have long dominated the Western Frontier!”

Daoist Dayan did not stop talking. The skeleton that wrapped around Lin Shen had already trapped him tightly. Then it turned into a jade-colored stream of light and fused into his body.

“I used the sword bone to fuse with this body before possessing it. My cultivation is at the half-step Heaven Realm.”

“Be good, kid. This is your good fortune.”

There was eagerness in Dayan’s voice.

“Instructor Lin, this is indeed your good fortune.” At this moment, Han Muye took a step forward and grabbed the broken sword in Lin Shen’s hand.

“Hum—”

Endless sword qi exploded.

“Senior Brother Chongxiao, please help Instructor Lin!”

As soon as Han Muye finished speaking, Lin Chongxiao’s remnant soul appeared in front of Lin Shen.

“Brother Shen, Brother Han borrowed my power to teach you the Sword Nurturing Technique. Sword Bone, you only have one chance. Take it!”

After Lin Chongxiao’s remnant soul finished speaking, his body crashed into Lin Shen’s glabella.
