Chapter 698 -698: Guiding Discovery
Back at his residence, Ji Yang didn’t disturb anyone.
After washing up, Ji Yang sat there digesting the vast amount of knowledge he had acquired.
This knowledge completely engulfed Ji Yang; it was his first time realizing that the contents of Qi Refining Practitioners were truly vast, with many aspects he had never even considered before.
Although most of it was very basic, Ji Yang knew that with this information, his understanding of the Qi Refining Practitioners had entered a whole new era.
Even though he didn’t know how useful this knowledge would be to him, Ji Yang still wanted to undertake a comprehensive study.
Unconsciously, it became dawn, and Ji Yang was woken up by a knock on the door.
Waking up from his studies, Ji Yang didn’t feel exhausted; instead, he felt very refreshed.
When he opened the door, Feng Xiaozhi and others were already waiting there, and leaders from the county had also arrived.
After shaking hands and exchanging greetings with everyone, they went to have breakfast.
“Where on earth did Dimanxi go?” Ji Yang asked as if he didn’t know.
Feng Xiaozhi said, “He mentioned he had something urgent to attend to and left in a hurry, not even letting us send him off.”
“They probably have a lot of business to handle; we don’t need to worry about them. Now that we have made a discovery, let’s continue to check out that mountain.”
“Okay, let’s all go and see if we can find anything on that mountain.”
This time, the group heading over was larger, with several people from the county joining the trip.
Reaching the mountain, Ji Yang swept his gaze around, making sure that his arrival had left no traces, and then glanced at the mysterious pit in the distance.
When Mayor Cui Mingwu saw Ji Yang looking in that direction, he said, “There’s a deep pit over there that we’ve had people explore. It’s home to numerous snakes. If we’re going to develop this area, we’ll need to set up a safety perimeter around it.”
“Are there many snakes, and can they climb up here?”
“It’s unlikely; they almost never do. The mountain walls keep them out.”
The Chief of the Public Security Bureau said, “Actually, it’s not difficult to deal with them. With our current methods, we can completely exterminate them inside the pit.”
Ji Yang now breathed a sigh of relief; having thrown someone into the pit last night, he was worried a body would be discovered. Now, with the presence of snakes and such, he figured Dimanxi’s body was probably gone by now.
Also, the place where he had killed Dimanxi and exited had been careful to erase any traces. Even if people entered now, it was unlikely to draw any attention.
“Dimanxi searched in the outside area for a while, let’s all do the same and see if we can find anything.”
Everyone began to search.
Ji Yang found that wherever he went, the leaders followed and conducted a cursory search.
So, Ji Yang moved to the front of the stone door.
Sure enough, everyone began their feigned search again in that area.
Then, out of nowhere, one of the officials accidentally bumped into the switch.
With his impact, the stone door thunderously opened.
This gave everyone quite a shock.
Ji Yang looked at the man who called for protecting Mayor Ji and thought to himself that this person had prospects.
Now, everyone’s attention was turned to the open stone door, expressions of astonishment beyond words. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⟡fire.net
Ji Yang likewise showed an astonished look as he gazed over.
Feng Xiaozhi exclaimed excitedly, “There really is a hidden cave, and it’s clearly man-made.”
Secretary Wen Zhonglin stepped in front of Ji Yang and said, “Mayor Ji, please step back. We don’t know what’s inside yet, safety first.”
Ji Yang replied, “Everyone should be cautious for their safety.”
At this moment, there was no need for Ji Yang to rush to the forefront.
The Director of Public Security, Fang Yang, immediately sprang into action, organizing a team to prepare for exploration.
Soon, some people went back to fetch equipment.
Everyone stood there looking in the direction of the cave, wanting to enter but not daring.
Feng Xiaozhi was very excited and said, “The Fengshui Formation really exists; this place is probably the central area. We must investigate the situation inside as soon as possible, and then we can begin developing this cave.”
This barren mountain was already contracted by Feng Xiaozhi and others, and the next step was to develop it. Now that such a place was discovered, preparations for development could begin.
Fang Yang quickly got the exploratory team ready. Dressed in protective gear and armed, they ventured into the cave.
Knowing what was inside, Ji Yang still displayed a look of longing and uneasiness.
In fact, everyone felt the same.
It wasn’t long before the team returned from their exploration and reported the situation to everyone.
After learning there was no danger inside, Ji Yang and the others entered.
Having been in a rush the previous night, Ji Yang hadn’t inspected the walls. Now he noticed that there were some formation patterns and such on the walls of the passage. As they proceeded, the passage was filled with an abundance of spiritual energy, causing everyone to breathe deeply.
