The night on the Gu Clan Holy Mountain wasn’t as quiet as one might imagine. On the contrary, there were quite a few people around, giving it a bit of a tourist spot feel.
Qin Mu had arrived in the evening, and by now, the bright moon hung high in the sky. He had also gone from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
“By the way, are we there yet?”
Qin Mu asked. Could the destination be at the top of the mountain?
“Almost there, almost there.”
Lu Shuanger glanced around. According to the route in her memory, it should be around here.
Qin Mu had no choice but to keep following Lu Shuanger. Fortunately, not long after, he could feel a unique flow of Spirit Energy around him.
As they walked, Lu Shuanger suddenly headed toward a patch of bushes, calling for Qin Mu to hurry up and follow.
Qin Mu pushed through the bushes. In front of him was a small cave. Inside the cave was a stone pit about the size of a bowl opening, filled with a thick liquid resembling yogurt.
“Is this the treasure you were talking about?”
Qin Mu stared at the yogurt-like liquid.
“Of course. This is Body-Tempering Milk. Although the Holy Mountain does produce this kind of milk, where it appears is entirely up to fate. I stumbled upon this one by accident back then.”
Lu Shuanger spoke with a proud look on her face. After all, whoever found Body-Tempering Milk could report it to the Imperial Guard, receive a handsome reward, and also use some of the Body-Tempering Milk for themselves.
But once it was used up, it would be several hundred years before it filled back up again.
“So, do I just drink it directly?”
Qin Mu stepped forward and lightly touched it with his finger, immediately feeling a surge of pure energy.
“Good stuff, kid! Looks like you’ve found yourself a treasure.”
The Divine Dragon inside his body was also attracted by this energy and woke up.
“Divine Dragon Senior, you’re awake?”
“Mm, kid, don’t be in a hurry to drink it. If you drink it directly, even though there’s a lot of energy, much of it will be wasted. Wait until this Elder draws up a list of Pills for you. If you drink it alongside the Pills, there’s a sixty percent chance I can recover my strength. Heh, not many people know this formula.”
Since Divine Dragon Senior said so, Qin Mu naturally wanted to make thorough preparations.
Qin Mu told Lu Shuanger that there was no hurry, and he would come back once he was ready. Lu Shuanger didn’t urge him and nodded in agreement. After all, the Body-Tempering Milk was right here; it wasn’t going anywhere.
Before leaving, Lu Shuanger set up a Miniature Maze Formation to conceal the Body-Tempering Milk.
It was getting late, and Qin Mu should head back.
On the way back, Qin Mu suddenly spotted a Shadowy Figure. This was the Gu Clan Holy Mountain, so it was normal to see a person, but this figure looked rather sneaky.
“Lu Shuanger, that person looks a bit strange.”
Qin Mu pointed at the figure and said.
Lu Shuanger followed Qin Mu’s pointing direction. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. The figure was indeed a bit strange.
“Come on, let’s go take a look. Someone actually snuck into the Holy Mountain. This miss can’t just stand by and do nothing!”
“Wait!”
Qin Mu hastily grabbed Lu Shuanger and said,
“With just the two of us at the Qi Refining Stage, if we can’t beat them, wouldn’t we be asking for trouble?”
Since the other party dared to sneak in, their strength was at least considerable; otherwise, even escaping would be a problem.
“Don’t worry. This is the Gu Clan Holy Mountain—our turf!”
With that, Lu Shuanger pulled Qin Mu along to follow behind the Shadowy Figure.
Whether it was because Qin Mu and the others had perfected their Aura Concealment Art, or because the other party’s Cultivation Level was low, the person didn’t notice Qin Mu and the others following behind at all.
The Shadowy Figure arrived at a dilapidated building, looked around, and then walked inside.
Qin Mu looked at the dilapidated building before him. It seemed like it would collapse with just a gust of wind.
“It actually came here?”
A hint of surprise appeared in Lu Shuanger’s beautiful eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with this place?”
Qin Mu asked.
“Not really. Judging by the look of this building, it should be a bathhouse. If the Body-Tempering Milk has low purity, it gets developed into something like a hot spring, and clan members come here to soak.”
Lu Shuanger knew quite a bit about this. When she was a child, she often soaked in these, and her body would feel warm and comfortable.
“A bathhouse? What is this Shadowy Figure doing here in the middle of the night? Don’t tell me it’s here to soak in a hot spring?”
Qin Mu wouldn’t believe anyone had that much free time, especially to come to this long-abandoned place.
“See! This person is definitely up to something!”
Lu Shuanger said with conviction. The fire of justice inside her was burning fiercely.
“Let’s go! We’re going inside to check it out!”
The moment she finished speaking, Lu Shuanger immediately trotted over.
“Hey!”
Qin Mu couldn’t stop her, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Shuanger to investigate.
The dilapidated wooden door looked like it would fall apart with a single push.
After carefully pushing the door open and entering, the two were dumbfounded.
Where’s the person?
In front of them was a large bath, but the pool had long lost its water and was full of dust. The surroundings didn’t look like there was a place to hide anyone.
“How strange? Could this person be a Soul Formation Realm expert? That shouldn’t be. A Soul Formation expert entering here would be discovered immediately.”
Lu Shuanger couldn’t quite figure it out.
Qin Mu, meanwhile, observed the surroundings. Since this place had been abandoned for a long time, a lot of dust had settled on the ground. But if one looked closely, there was a trail of footprints.
Following the footprints, Qin Mu arrived at a wall.
“The footprints end here.”
The footprints disappeared here. Further ahead was just the wall.
Qin Mu had just reached out his hand to touch the wall when, the next moment, a Transmission Array appeared on the wall.
‘Oh crap! Not good!’
He immediately released his hand, and Qin Mu wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A burst of suction force instantly pulled Qin Mu’s figure in.
“Qin Mu, did you find—…”
Lu Shuanger turned around to ask Qin Mu if he had found anything strange, but when she turned around, Qin Mu’s figure was gone!
Lu Shuanger: !!!
***
“Ahhh!!!”
Qin Mu was rapidly falling through the air. He wanted to take out the Flying Magic Tool from his Storage Pouch, but no matter how he activated it, he couldn’t fly at all.
“It’s over, it’s over! To think my glorious reputation is going to end here…”
‘I’m such an idiot. Seriously. I know I have a Trouble-Attracting Constitution, and yet I still had to follow along.’
Just as Qin Mu was on the verge of despair, a surge of energy suddenly gushed out from within his body.
‘Ah! This familiar feeling! This feeling of being filled up inside! It’s Divine Dragon Senior!’
Just as he was about to be smashed into pulp, the Divine Dragon acted in time to prevent that outcome from coming true.
“Divine Dragon Senior…”
Qin Mu was so moved that snot and tears flowed down his face. Although Divine Dragon Senior was very unreliable, when it came to saving him from danger, Divine Dragon Senior had never let him down.
“Kid, how did you end up in another strange place, and a Flight-Forbidden Space at that.”
The Divine Dragon had been sleeping soundly, but sensed the fluctuation in Qin Mu’s emotions. He immediately woke up to take a look. Good grief, the kid was almost about to be smashed into pulp, so the Divine Dragon immediately possessed him.
“Maybe… it’s because of my Unlucky Attribute.”
Qin Mu, being a super ultra-unlucky person, said so.
