Chapter 124: Chapter 117: Journey to Taiyun Valley—A Father Poisons His Son, Scheming for the Cloud Mushroom Fruit

The two discussed some miscellaneous clan affairs.

Fu Changsheng instructed Fu Changren that he would be away for a while. Before leaving Luofeng Mountain, he detoured to Moon Academy, scanned with his Divine Sense, and today it was Grandmaster Yu giving a lecture, explaining the Path of Array. Stone Fu Yongyi sat at the front, listening most attentively.

A year passed.

Fu Yongyi unexpectedly broke through two levels, directly reaching the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

This cultivation speed was as impressive as Molan’s back in the day.

He became even more curious about Fu Yongyi’s Spirit Root Talent.

At this moment.

A rapid buzzing came from his waist.

A Technique was infused into the Jade Talisman, and the voice of Granny Yu came out.

Leaving Luofeng Mountain.

From afar, he saw Granny Yu and Yu Qingru waiting by the Changliu River. Fu Changsheng stepped on the Ascension Step, and his body flickered a few times before appearing in front of them.

Two years had passed.

Granny Yu looked even older.

In contrast, Yu Qingru had already reached the Peak of Qi Cultivation.

Granny Yu’s gaze fell on Fu Changsheng, and she said with a smile:

”Fellow Daoist Fu, you truly are extraordinarily talented. In just two years, you have broken through from the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer to the Peak of Qi Cultivation.”

Fu Changsheng humbly replied with a few words.

He waved his sleeve.

A Flying Ship hovered in the air.

With a tap of their toes on the ground, the three landed on the Flying Ship. A Technique was cast onto the Talisman Array on the deck, and with a buzz, an Array Light Curtain was raised. With a ripple, the Flying Ship became invisible.

Although Fu Changsheng had already obtained information about Granny Yu’s destination, he still asked as an exception:

”Granny Yu, can you now tell us our destination and purpose?”

Granny Yu’s expression was solemn.

Even though the Flying Ship had a restriction to shield Divine Sense, she still transmitted her voice:

”Fellow Daoist Fu, the place we are going is Taiyun Valley at the boundary between the Cloud Soaring Tribe and the Celestial Yang Tribe. In the valley, there is a Cloud Mushroom Tree bearing four fruits. Estimating by the time, they should mature within the next two to three months!”

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, they were the Cloud Mushroom Fruits with the effect of Purification!

”Three or four years ago, I accidentally discovered this place. At the time, I set up a small Tier Two Yellow Sand Array in the cave where the Cloud Mushroom Fruits are located. Taiyun Valley is inherently lacking in Spiritual Qi, so not to mention cultivators, even Demon Beasts won’t set foot there. With the protection of the Yellow Sand Array, this trip to the Eastern Wilderness shouldn’t pose much danger. We just need to be cautious of spies from the Cloud Soaring Tribe and the Celestial Yang Tribe, to prevent them from discovering our tracks.”

With that.

The plan became even more secure.

Fu Changsheng felt a sense of relief and planned to exchange his remaining two Clan Contribution Points for intel when they were about to reach Taiyun Valley, to ensure everything was foolproof.

....

Eastern Wilderness, Taiyun Valley.

The valley was filled with dense Qingcang Trees.

In a cave concealed by green vines.

An elder clad in beast skin, with a Sun Totem engraved on his forehead, slapped a storage bag. With a flash of Dawn Light, an Eight Trigrams Array Plate spun and fell into the cave ahead. With a buzz, a yellow light curtain instantly lit up around the Cave Mansion, with yellow sand swirling inside.

The young man, Celestial Power, beside the elder, brightened his eyes upon seeing this:

”Master, you indeed have keen eyesight. There truly is a hidden array here, likely the legendary Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion.”

Old Monster Xin retracted a Technique.

Frowning, he said:

”This is a Tier Two Yellow Sand Array. Judging by the setup technique, it clearly doesn’t belong to an Ancient Cultivator.”

”Ah, Master, so you mean this is a retreat Cave Mansion of some cultivator?”

”This place lacks Spiritual Qi and is at the boundary between two major tribes. How could anyone open a Cave Mansion here? There’s only one possibility: a cultivator found some kind of spiritual flowers and herbs in the cave, but as they haven’t matured, they could only set up a Tier Two Array and wait until they mature to open and harvest them.”

Being protected by a Tier Two Yellow Sand Array.

Shows that the spirit plant in the cave must be of considerable value.

Celestial Power was so excited that his voice trembled:

”If that’s the case, we should quickly report to the tribe elders. If it’s indeed a High-Tier Spiritual Plant inside, it would be a great meritorious deed. Coupled with the Merit Points we’ve accumulated, next time the tribe has Foundation Establishment Pills, you could exchange for one to push for Foundation Establishment, Master!”

Saying that.

Celestial Power immediately took out a Jade Talisman engraved with a Sun Rune, but Old Monster Xin stopped him with a look:

”The array isn’t broken, and we don’t know what’s inside. If we rashly inform the Foundation Establishment Elder to come and they find nothing, you and I will surely be blamed. Be patient and wait for me to break the array first.”

”Master truly considers matters thoroughly.”

Celestial Power looked at him with admiration.

His master was one of the few Tier Two Array Masters in the tribe.

Although he hadn’t been promoted to an Elder yet, he was quite prestigious in the tribe.

Unfortunately, he was not bright enough to inherit his master’s array teachings.

”Lier, go guard the valley entrance. If any cultivators pass by, report to me immediately.”

”Yes, Master!”

Once Celestial Power left.

Old Monster Xin sighed deeply.

This disciple was too loyal to both the tribe and him as the master.

Since it was something protected by a Tier Two Array, the first thought of ordinary people would naturally be to break the array and claim it for themselves. But this foolish disciple only thought about reporting to the tribe.

If the tribe truly valued him.

Twenty years ago, the Foundation Establishment Pill should have been given to him instead of Liya, that junior.

To reach Foundation Establishment.

He had to rely on himself.

And the opportunity was right in front of him.

How could he hand it over to the people of the tribe?

If the Tier Two Yellow Sand Array were forcibly broken, it wouldn’t be difficult, but if there were High-Tier Spiritual Plants inside, they’d be destroyed as well. So, to avoid damaging the treasures inside, he could only proceed slowly.
