The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 45 The Yellow Bird Enters the Cave Mansion from Behind

While Ye Fan and Yan Qingci were exploring the fairy world, Wang Zizai was not idle either.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains in Zhongzhou, Wang Zizai was searching for the location of the Immortal Pond bit by bit.

In the small world of the Immortal Palace, Ye Fan took Yan Qingci and walked towards the depths of the Immortal Palace while looking for various opportunities.

Although he encountered several valuable carvings along the way, they were not the traces of enlightenment of the peerless masters that Ye Fan wanted most.

On this day, Ye Fan and Yan Qingci entered a place shrouded in purple mist, where exotic flowers were in full bloom, rare herbs were everywhere, and there were many orchids and magical medicines.

"Uncle Master, there seems to be someone here." Yan Qingci said.

"Duan De?"

Ye Fan was surprised to find that the unscrupulous Taoist Duan De was wandering around this sacred place.

"Qing Ci, be careful if you see this fat Taoist priest next time." Ye Fan warned.

"Yes, uncle-master, this fat Taoist priest doesn't look like a good person!" Yan Qingci nodded.

"But this guy has a deep understanding of burial sites. Could he have discovered something here?" Ye Fan said, "Let's follow him secretly and find an opportunity to rob him."

"This...Uncle Master, isn't it bad to rob others?" Yan Qingci said.

"Don't worry, robbing others is robbery, but robbing this unscrupulous Taoist priest is not." Ye Fan said.

Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Master, when my cultivation was low, I was robbed by this unscrupulous Taoist priest. Today I am just taking revenge. Don't feel any psychological burden."

Ye Fan knew that Wang Zi's lineage had many requirements for cultivation, so he explained it, even at the cost of exposing his own ugly deeds.

The unscrupulous Taoist wandered around here for most of the day, and suddenly he made a move, cracking a cliff. A cave appeared there, and auspicious light flowed out.

"The Immortal Palace has come into the world!" Suddenly, Duan De shouted at the top of his voice, wishing to attract everyone.

In just a moment, many monks were alarmed and flew from the distant mountains, landed here, and stared at the ancient cave that was shining with colorful light.

Duan De had already retreated and disappeared into the distant mountains. The two followed him quietly. Ye Fan didn't believe that the unscrupulous Taoist priest would be so kind. He must have some plan.

"Hehe, you guys go and break the ban. Thank you very much." Duan De laughed.

"It's true that this bastard's nature is hard to change!" Ye Fan cursed.

Not long after, Duan De arrived at a place several dozen miles away. There was a clear little lake with thin mist curling around it. On the shore, there were orchids and flowers blooming, like a pure land on earth.

“Once you break the restriction, this fairy lake will sink and the real cave will appear. There are probably extraordinary treasures here.” Fatty Duan rubbed his hands, his eyes shining.

"This guy is really amazing. He lets others break the restriction dozens of miles away, but he just sits here and enjoys the results." Ye Fan said with contempt, but he was also very surprised in his heart.

In the distance, a figure flashed, and an unparalleled beauty appeared, standing gracefully, walking through the fairy veins and towards the clear fairy lake. It was Princess Yudie.

Princess Yudie is the third most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou. She was saved by Ye Fan when he first came to Zhongzhou, and Ye Fan was therefore named a lord.

"Why are you here?" Princess Yudie was surprised.

"Don't go over there, wait here, you will probably have a chance to meet an immortal." Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Who is this?" Princess Yudie looked at Yan Qingci.

"This is my nephew." Ye Fan introduced the two to each other.

A look of surprise appeared on Princess Yudie's face, and then she discovered Duan De at the lakeside, hiding behind a bluestone in a sneaky manner.

Suddenly, in the distance, auspicious clouds rose into the sky, endless light flowed, and the mountains were full of spiritual energy, accompanied by bursts of fairy music. It was the spiritual land just now, and many cultivators took action to break the ban. From a distance, you can see the divine light rushing up, which is very attractive.

Everyone in this area rushed there as soon as possible, as this scene looked like a sign that a cave was opening.

"Gudong"

There were bits of light overflowing from the lake, sinking quickly, and the spiritual energy became many times richer.

The lake water sank, fairy light flashed underground, and strange sounds were made. Before long, the entire fairy lake disappeared, and a large rift valley appeared.

An ancient cave was flowing with fairy light and contained dragon energy, which gushed outward. It was not very violent, but it also had a fairy charm, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary place.

"Haha..." Fatty Duan laughed loudly. It was very quiet here and did not alarm anyone else.

"The layout is a chain of caves, and only I can decipher it." Duan De was very conceited and complacent. He laughed non-stop and disappeared in a flash.

"This person is really mysterious. He has such means and everyone else has been taken advantage of." Princess Yudie said in surprise.

The three of them waited for a moment, and then landed at the bottom of the dried-up fairy lake. There were cliffs everywhere, an ancient cave was shining, and a fairy door engraved with dense runes had been opened.

With the Banner of the Gods and Demons of the Heavens and the black gold halberd with dragon pattern in their hands, Ye Fan and Yan Qingci were very brave and not afraid of being trapped inside. They flashed into the cave with Princess Yudie.

In the cave, fairy mist is thick and the smoke is brilliant, which has the charm of a fairyland. Not far away, you can see white jade steps leading to even more secluded depths.

"Immortal juice..." Princess Yudie said in surprise.

There is a spring pool next to it and a small platform, only half a foot high. There is a small bowl on it, which contains more than half a bowl of white juice.

"Unfortunately, it's not the real immortal juice, it's just the earth milk produced by an ordinary spiritual root." Ye Fan said regretfully after looking at it carefully.

Suddenly, his expression froze. The small platform, more than half a foot high, was very special. It was crystal clear, exuding a trace of spiritual energy and a mysterious aura.

"This is... solidified immortal juice!" Ye Fan was surprised and extremely shocked.

In the past, immortal treasures were born here, and the spiritual energy that dripped down dissipated, forming a small Taoist platform half a foot high. It is thought that the immortal juice and jade liquid have flowed away, and only ordinary milk can be produced later.

The three of them felt a pain in their flesh at this moment. How much fairy milk would it take to condense this? It was really too extravagant and wasteful.

In the end, Ye Fan put away the Taoist platform first, and after he was ready to leave, the three of them divided it.

The three of them walked up the white jade steps and entered the depths of the cave. They found a medicinal field in a vast stone cave. The dead medicinal herbs in the field were all tens of thousands of years old.

Suddenly, the three of them found a person sitting cross-legged in front of them, without any energy. It was not until they got closer that they realized it was an old ape.

It has been who knows how many years since he passed away. His skin and fur would turn to dust at the slightest touch, but his bones still shine.

"This old ape was at least a top Saint Lord-level warrior when he was alive." Ye Fan said.

"It doesn't look like the owner of the cave. It should be a guardian beast of the mountain." Princess Yudie said.

The three continued forward and came to a relatively open area, where they saw dragon energy swirling around and rosy clouds flashing. There was a patch of jade trees growing there, no more than half a meter high and shining brightly.

"The Immortal Tree!" Princess Yudie exclaimed.

The forty-nine jade trees, each with a different color, are not carved but grow out of jade.

"The records in ancient books are actually true. Jade trees can grow in chalcedony. If nourished by the immortal roots of the world's ancestors, jade trees comparable to imperial weapons can be born. Once it is refined into a treasure, nothing can break it!" Ye Fan was also surprised.
