The disciple in charge of registration respectfully said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yan was the one who left with him, about an hour ago."
"Impossible, he clearly made an appointment with me," Lu Yaoyao said in disbelief.
The registration disciple shook his head. They didn’t know much about that, and then hesitated, "Senior Sister Lu, do you still want to go up?"
Lu Yaoyao shook her head slightly, "Do you know where they went?"
"Judging by the direction, it seemed like Divine Peak!" someone guessed after a moment’s thought.
Lu Yaoyao was stunned, but quickly realized something, her face full of regret.
"Aiya, I made a mistake. Senior Brother Zhou said he had something to discuss with me, but he didn’t mention a specific location. I thought it was Little Spirit Peak. Thank you!"
After thanking them, Lu Yaoyao quickly turned back.
Not long after, when she returned to Divine Peak, she immediately saw Yan Xiaohu coming out of the Task Hall and quickly ran to him.
"Senior Brother Yan, where is Senior Brother Zhou?" Lu Yaoyao asked hurriedly.
Yan Xiaohu replied, "I... don’t know..."
Lu Yaoyao’s face twitched instantly, "Senior Brother Yan, what’s wrong with your voice?"
Yan Xiaohu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Today, countless people had looked at him strangely.
He directly used spiritual power to write in the air.
[My voice became because of cultivating a powerful cultivation technique. Don’t think too much about it. As for Old Fourth, I don’t know where he went either.]
Lu Yaoyao responded with an "Oh."
"You don’t need to explain. I understand. I’ll go look for him first," Lu Yaoyao said, then bowed and left.
At the same time, in the dark underground passage, Zhou Qing was sweating profusely as he excavated.
The next moment, Second Master suddenly grabbed him, gesturing for him to be quiet, and then pointed upward.
Zhou Qing’s eyes widened with joy.
Then, Second Master held up six fingers.
"Only six pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment? That can’t be!" Zhou Qing whispered in disbelief.
Second Master gave Zhou Qing a slap on the back of the neck, "Your mind is only thinking about the Flame Spirit Blood Ointment. I meant there are six people bathing inside."
Zhou Qing’s face changed slightly upon hearing this.
"Do you have confidence?" Zhou Qing asked quietly, close to Second Master.
Second Master also leaned in, showing his yellow teeth and whispered, "No."
"What should we do now?"
"We have to wait until there are fewer people, or until they leave, then I can make a move."
"Is there a barrier at the bottom of the pool?"
"Of course, did you think this was just any ordinary pool? The medicinal power here is more than ten times stronger."
"When will they leave?"
"I don’t know either. Generally speaking, soon, I guess."
The two were whispering, like they were thieves.
Actually, they really were like thieves.
Subsequently, Second Master carefully took out a crystal array disc, and gently placed it at a specific spot.
He swiftly formed seals with his hands, and one mysterious spell after another flew from his fingertips, continuously entering the array disc.
In an instant, six red dots appeared on the crystal array disc, flickering repeatedly.
Such a scene left Zhou Qing stunned.
So powerful a treasure.
As for Second Master, he was full of pride, as if saying, "See, my perception was right!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qing immediately gave a thumbs-up to Second Master, eyes filled with admiration.
Then, they tiptoed away until they were far from the newly dug passage.
"When there are only three people left, I will make my move, and they won’t notice." Second Master’s voice finally returned to normal.
Zhou Qing asked with a puzzled face, "Master, you are so powerful, even capable of digging through to the pocket world. This small task should be easy for you, right?"
Second Master shook his head slowly and said, "The main thing is, I am still not familiar with restriction techniques. Once this is over, I need to join a sect skilled in restriction techniques to learn properly. If you want, we can do this together. You be the senior brother, and I’ll be the junior brother."
Zhou Qing: "..." Correct content is on f(r)eew(e)bnovel.(c)o(m)
Second Master was serious, "I mean it. Or, I’ll be the senior brother, and you the junior brother."
Zhou Qing repeatedly shook his head, "No, no, I’m too attached to home."
"You’re such a homebody. Forget it, you wait here. I’ll go inside first, then I’ll come back to help you." f.r e\ewebnov(e)(l).c om
After speaking, Second Master headed inside.
There was no way Zhou Qing would stay alone, so he quickly followed along, thinking he might need to travel this path someday.
Before long, they reached the end of the tunnel.
As he expected, Second Master took out eight top-grade spirit stones and placed them in the grooves of the five-colored altar.
As the array activated, Second Master didn’t dare waste a moment and quickly stepped onto the altar.
At that moment, Zhou Qing suddenly remembered something important and shouted, "Master, the other side is blocked again!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant light flashed, and Second Master’s figure disappeared instantly.
However, Zhou Qing clearly heard him cursing furiously with frustration.
"It will take some time for him to dig through again, right?" Zhou Qing said worriedly.
He couldn’t stay here long either, as he had already registered at the mountain gate, and staying too long might raise suspicion.
Especially since this was Taiqing Sect’s main peak, where movement was closely monitored.
"No matter what, I need to quickly dig out the rest." Zhou Qing hurriedly returned to the bottom of the first Flame Spirit Blood Pool and resumed digging.
