"I know, I know, let’s just go and see. It was in the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm before it died, right?" Second Elder waved his hand nonchalantly, merely curious.
Zhou Qing had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Then, Second Elder took Zhou Qing and headed straight for Spirit Skull Mountain.
It took them less than a moment to arrive at Spirit Skull Mountain.
This made Zhou Qing feel a surge of envy. Warriors in the Spirit Severing Realm could truly traverse the void. The silver-haired woman had similarly sent him and Lu Yaoyao back to the Taiqing Sect the last time they were at Canglan Mountain.
"It’s really not easy to find this place. Mainly because I’d never heard of it before!"
Second Elder stood at the mountain peak, his gaze like a torch, surveying the heaps of white bones around. A terrifying divine sense spread out in all directions.
Soon, he was full of amazement.
Because the entire mountain looked quite unremarkable, let alone finding the Suanni Bone Zhou Qing mentioned.
At this moment, Zhou Qing looked up at the night sky, then shook his head and said, "It’s not a full moon tonight, we can’t enter."
"Where’s the entrance?" Second Elder asked after pondering.
Zhou Qing then took him to a pile of white bones and pointed below.
Second Elder understood instantly, activating his spiritual power and continuously probing his divine sense into it.
However, after a thorough search, he found nothing.
"This person is truly remarkable. They created an independent space that can only be opened with the full moon and thunder as keys. What an interesting way to open a door!"
Second Elder exclaimed repeatedly, filled with curiosity.
Why would a Level 5 Array Master leave a legacy here?
And also kill a Suanni, preserving its essence blood?
When we enter later, I’ll have to take a good look around.
As the days passed, Zhou Qing grew bored and wandered over to the Blood Rock Mine.
Upon arriving, he discovered that the mine had been mercilessly abandoned by the Cangyan Daoist Palace, empty and desolate, with an air of decay and desolation.
Finally, on the seventh night after a long wait, a full moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver glow.
As Zhou Qing opened the entrance, the two of them entered.
Inside the cave, Second Elder’s gaze was locked onto the well-preserved, gigantic Suanni Bone, eyes burning with intense desire. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
Then, in his hand appeared a constantly shaking compass-like object. After meticulously examining the patterns and the direction of the needle, he could only shake his head, full of frustration and unwillingness.
"You’re right, if we move it even slightly, both of us will die. This Suanni was really ruthless to itself before it died!" Second Elder cursed.
It’s really infuriating to have such a treasure right in front of us and be unable to use it.
Soon, Second Elder discovered the Natural Thunder Pool and sighed heavily.
If he had discovered it earlier, perhaps there might still be some Thunder Liquid remaining.
After a thorough search yielded nothing useful, the two of them returned to the Taiqing Sect.
"The Five Sects probably won’t fight again, and according to what you said, Sikong Yan’s actions are odd, perhaps with some deeper meaning. Of course, I can’t be bothered with these things. I’ll give you three days to pack up!"
After Second Elder said this to Zhou Qing, he disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Qing let out a sigh of relief, and seeing the old hen emerging again, he gently picked it up and headed for the mountain top.
"Where have you been these past few days? You didn’t even respond to my messages!" Mo Xingjian asked in confusion upon seeing Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing didn’t hide anything. He explained in detail that Second Elder planned to take him to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard in the Vast Mansion to learn about arrays.
Mo Xingjian’s brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he slowly said, "It was my oversight before. Second Elder’s decision is quite appropriate. In the field of arrays, Elder Lin is indeed more professional. You should go; having that identity will also facilitate your actions in the future."
Hearing his master’s words, Zhou Qing finally felt completely at ease.
Moreover, the Vast Mansion, like Lingyun Mansion, was also under the jurisdiction of Longyuan County, one of the Eight Prefectures, and the two weren’t too far apart.
Besides, large teleportation arrays connected the counties, so Zhou Qing could return anytime he wanted.
Looking at Zhou Qing’s youthful face, Mo Xingjian felt a mix of emotions.
He had never thought that his youngest disciple would be going on a long journey so soon.
The Taiqing Sect was ultimately too small for him.
But since Second Elder knew about Zhou Qing’s Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, with his presence, there shouldn’t be any major problems; at most, it would be using Lin Daochen’s identity for some added prestige.
He would probably return very soon.
Then, Mo Xingjian carefully explained various things to pay attention to, and Zhou Qing listened attentively, nodding and remembering everything.
The next day, Zhou Qing went to say goodbye to Yan Xiaohu.
"What? You’re going to be taken to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard by Second Elder? No way, no way. How can you survive without me taking care of you? I have to go with you!"
Yan Xiaohu’s eyes widened upon hearing the news and he immediately started packing his belongings, looking set on going with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was stunned.
