Chapter 307: A Sense of Danger
Mengyu was certain that she hadn’t felt any danger before.
Because she had been cultivating here for nearly a month, and hadn’t noticed any dangerous aura.
But now, this dangerous sensation was lingering around her, making her feel very uneasy. She couldn’t determine the direction at the moment and couldn’t find a way out; this danger must be eliminated.
She walked through the entire valley and, aside from finding piles of powder in each direction, and a pile of stones with only a trace of Spiritual Energy in the center of the valley, she seemed to discover nothing.
She also found many medicinal herbs planted in the valley, mortal medicines that could be exchanged for money, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Lingzhi and so on.
Spiritual Medicine was of course good, but her Space House came with a Medicinal Garden with a large amount of Spiritual Medicine, which she dared not trade for money.
But what she needed most now was money to acquire antiques to gain Sun and Moon Essence Value, so the mortal medicine that could be exchanged for money was exactly what she needed now!
Mengyu simply released her Divine Sense—after Foundation Establishment, her Divine Sense could extend outward for more than two miles.
She didn’t know how far others’ Divine Sense could reach, but if they knew, they would surely be shocked.
The newly extended Divine Sense of a cultivator was generally only tens of meters, yet hers could reach more than two miles right from the start!
About this, she was very pleased. If there was anything in the future, she could directly use her Divine Sense to investigate, and even because of the penetrative nature of the Divine Sense, she could use it to do many other things.
For now, she should first use Divine Sense to check for any issues in this valley. She couldn’t shake off the feeling of danger without finding the source of that dangerous aura.
She felt that even if she left, the danger would remain if it wasn’t eliminated.
She didn’t believe that the valley’s owner, who planted so many Spiritual Medicines and protected them with an Array, wouldn’t leave something else in the valley.
Moreover, she felt that something in this valley was attracting her, and if she didn’t go to see it, she would miss out on something.
Finally, she discovered a problem in the cave where she had been cultivating.
Mengyu had chosen to cultivate in this cave because she felt that the Spiritual Energy was more abundant inside. But she hadn’t considered that there might be other reasons.
Of course, at that time, she had also had the thought that this cave was the best place for cultivation.
But now, as she re-entered the cave she had lived in for nearly a month and used her Divine Sense, she immediately spotted the issue.
The stone wall she faced was actually just an illusion; in reality, there was a passage.
Mengyu asked Xiao Tao in her mind: "Xiao Tao, do you think there could be a powerful Array in this place?"
Xiao Tao laughed: "Master, no matter how powerful the Array is, it’s useless now since you’ve drained the Spiritual Energy."
Mengyu chuckled silently in her mind: "Yes, the Array is no longer effective. No wonder, I could see that the Illusion Array at the entrance of this passage was active when I looked with my Divine Sense."
As she spoke, she put together the index and middle fingers of her right hand and tried to release Wood Spirit Power. With a ’puff’ sound, the Illusion Array actually shattered on its own.
Mengyu almost effortlessly broke through the Illusion Array.
Her Divine Sense immediately probed inside; there was nothing else, the passage was just over ten meters long, leading to another cave.
Mengyu’s Divine Sense entered the cave, and her heart skipped a beat: inside the cave there were a stone bed, stone table, stone chair, and on the stone bed sat a skeleton.
The skeleton gleamed with a luster like black jade, draped in a white robe, with both bony hands placed in front of the lower abdomen, forming a Meridian Technique gesture, and on the ring finger of the left hand was a ring.
Mengyu was puzzled; all the flesh and such on the skeleton had eroded away, so why was there still one piece of clothing left?
Could it be that this robe was a treasure?
However, Mengyu did not dare to enter rashly; she felt a very strange sensation when her Divine Sense swept over the skeleton, no, to be precise, a hint of danger.
