Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 23 Yao Guang Tomb

"Yaoguang Tomb?"

“That’s right! It’s Yao Guang’s Tomb!” Ji Chen nodded and said.

"This is the latest intelligence our sect has. There is a cenotaph for Yao Guang in the Yao Guang Secret Realm, which should contain Yao Guang's relics. This is my target this time. It is said that the divine artifact Qing Guang Ding used by Yao Guang during his lifetime is inside. Perhaps the Spring Jade Dew you need is also inside! We can go look for it together tomorrow."

Before Jing Shu could speak, Ji Chen revealed all this valuable information.

Lu Yunqi did not stop him at all and let him finish saying what he wanted to say.

"You...you're saying so much, aren't you afraid I'll steal your opportunity?" Jing Shu asked hesitantly. Was Ji Chen some kind of idiot?

Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Oh, we ate so much of your barbecue, it was just a small favor. As for opportunities, when something is meant to be mine, no one can take it away. When it's not meant to be mine, I can't take it either. Relax, look, the two of us have been searching for seven days and haven't found it yet, maybe this opportunity wasn't meant to be mine."

Jing Shu remained silent about Ji Chen's mindset, while Lu Yunqi nodded in agreement, finding it quite reasonable.

"However, I won't give up. It would be a real loss if I missed this opportunity because of my lack of ambition. I still have to try my best!" Ji Chen clenched his fist to encourage himself.

Go for it, Ji Xiaochen! You're the best!

“Speaking of which, I noticed you’re wearing the robes of Yunzang Sect disciples. You two are from Yunzang Sect, aren’t you?” Lu Yunqi asked.

"Yes, I am Zhang San, and that is Wang Er," Jing Shu replied calmly.

Han Luo twitched the corner of her mouth.

Lu Yunqi and Ji Chen were speechless. This was so fake! Couldn't they have come up with a better-sounding name?

It wasn't until Jing Shu produced the tokens that the two men reluctantly believed that these were their real names.

"So your target is that, the Azure Light Cauldron?" Jing Shu changed the subject.

Ji Chen snapped his fingers. “Smart! Alchemy is the greatest pleasure in my life. A good alchemy furnace can greatly help in refining good pills.”

"It's getting late, let's get some rest." Seeing that Han Luo had already entered the tent, Jing Shu ended their conversation for the day.

After the two of them went inside, Ji Chen whispered to Lu Yunqi, "Why didn't we think of bringing a tent in?"

Lu Yunqi rolled his eyes at him. "I came in with you in the first place, why would I need to prepare all this stuff?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault," Ji Chen said guiltily.

Ji Chen dared not bring it up again, and the two found a place to rest.

On the eighth day, the group of two became a group of four.

However, this did not stop Jing Shu from continuing to fight spirit beasts and pick spirit plants.

With Han Luo no longer making a move, Jing Shu can easily acquire it.

Ji Chen stared in disbelief as Jing Shu fought alone.

Are all Foundation Establishment cultivators this powerful? Recalling the other people I met before, they all said that there would be very few high-quality spiritual plants to be found this time, and that there would often only be spiritual beasts, not spiritual plants. Now it seems that these two people picked them all.

Lu Yunqi felt a slight surge of fighting spirit; he was somewhat inclined to spar with this Brother Zhang.

Unfortunately, Jing Shu refused him. The most important thing was to find Yao Guang's tomb; as for sparring, that wasn't the time.

And just like that, the tenth day arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, so it really is that fate has nothing to do with me?" Ji Chen said dejectedly.

Lu Yunqi patted Ji Chen's shoulder reassuringly, "If they could have found it, they would have found it during the previous openings of the secret realm. So, where did your sect get this information? You weren't fooled, were you?"

"Impossible!" Ji Chen exclaimed excitedly, "This news is absolutely true!"

Jing Shu ignored the two of them. In the past ten days, he and his master had traveled almost all over the secret realm. They neither saw Yao Guang Tomb nor sensed any strange spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the ground.

Could it be that Yao Guang's tomb is not here?

Jing Shu had a sudden inspiration and grabbed Han Luo's sleeve.

"Senior brother, slash your sword towards the sky!"

Hearing Jing Shu's words, Ji Chen asked in confusion, "Brother Zhang, what did you say?"

Han Luo guessed Jing Shu's thoughts, and without saying a word, directly summoned the Snow Condensation Sword, flew into the air, raised his hand and slashed towards the sky, unleashing a surge of powerful sword energy.

"boom--"

After a loud bang, the sound of something shattering followed. Then, the sky changed, and a magnificent palace appeared high in the sky. This strange phenomenon attracted the attention of everyone in the entire secret realm.

"what is that?"

"That's Yao Guang's tomb!"

"Hahaha! Baby! I'm here!"

In an instant, all the cultivators rushed to fly into it.

"Holy crap—" Ji Chen's mouth formed an "O" shape.

For a moment, he was unsure whether to be shocked that Jing Shu had discovered the correct location of Yao Guang Tomb, or that his silent elder brother had cleaved through the disguise of Yao Guang Tomb with a single sword strike.

Lu Yunqi frowned slightly, thinking of the sword he had just seen flash by, and the feeling that sword energy gave him, which seemed very familiar.

"Has he seen him somewhere before?" Lu Yunqi looked at Han Luo as she returned, and this question suddenly popped into his mind.

Jing Shu watched Han Luo fall from the sky with an indifferent expression, as if a god had descended to earth.

But this god reached out his hand to him.

A smile appeared in Jing Shu's eyes as he took her hand.

"Yunqi? Stop daydreaming, let's go!" Ji Chen's voice woke Lu Yunqi up.

Lu Yunqi temporarily suppressed his surfacing emotions and flew on his sword to catch up with the three.

The most important thing now is to help Ji Chen obtain the Azure Light Cauldron.

When the four of them flew to Yao Guang Tomb, there were not many people left.

It's more like a maze than a tomb, with more than ten doors.

"Let's part ways here," Jing Shu said. Their goals were different, so there was no need for them to continue together.

"Ah, okay. I wish you success!" Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

Jing and Shu randomly chose a gate and left.

Han Luo looked at her hand, which was being held in return, and suddenly asked, "Are you scared?"

"???" Jing Shu, who was observing his surroundings, turned around and looked at Han Luo after hearing this, following Han Luo's gaze.

"..."

Jing Shu released Han Luo's hand, his tone stiff, "I'm not afraid."

Han Luo raised an eyebrow. Why are you angry again?

Before Han Luo could speak, a strange sound rang out, and the door suddenly closed.

A clear, ethereal female voice reached the ears of everyone who entered Yaoguang Tomb.

"Welcome to my tomb, a treasure trove for alchemists. I've set up some small challenges; those who complete them will receive my rewards. Now, pair up. Are you ready?"
