Chapter 22: Treasure Hunt in the Cliff Cave (Update completed, please give me monthly votes and recommendation tickets)

In an instant, a two-star fighter and two one-star fighters fell instantly. This record put an abrupt end to the ridicule and mockery from the people around them.

Within a three-mile radius of Wanyaozhai, there was a sudden silence. The only sound was the dripping sound of water hitting the stone steps, from the three people on the plaque who were bleeding profusely.

"Murder!!" The mob around, who were slightly stronger than ordinary people, also began to flee in all directions as if ordinary people saw something terrifying.

Xiao Yixian did not show any surprise at Zhongli's instant killing of three people. Facing this bloody and horrific murder scene, she did not feel the slightest fear, because the person hanging on the plaque was the one she had been thinking about and wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.

Although there are only three of them here, there are actually more than three of them.

As if something suddenly occurred to her, the Little Medical Immortal said playfully, "Hey! Master, I know a place where treasure is hidden. How about you accompany me to explore it? Maybe there's a treasure there that the Xiao family would like?"

Zhongli thought about Xiao Yixian's suggestion for a while, then nodded slightly and agreed.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the Qingshan Town Street, which was usually the bustling place, was now only occupied by two people walking slowly.

The Little Medical Fairy held Zhongli's arm affectionately. The scene was just like the past when they were in the Rebirth Hall, when Hu Tao jumped for joy and hugged herself, and then took him, who was a guest of the Rebirth Hall, home to have dinner together.

"Ah..." Zhongli raised his head slightly, his gaze cast towards the boundless sky, thinking to himself, "I wonder if that little girl Hu Tao has eaten on time since I left?"

On their way to the treasure trove of the Ghost-Suppressing Forest, Xiao Yixian and Zhongli strolled leisurely. They hadn't actually stopped to explore Qingshan Town, but the little girl beside them, constantly recounting anecdotes from her past, added a touch of joy to their journey. After all, leisurely strolls and listening to anecdotes always brought Zhongli peace of mind, though he wasn't sure when this feeling began.

Under the guidance of Xiao Yixian, Zhongli quickly arrived at the mysterious treasure place she mentioned.

Little Medical Fairy leaned forward respectfully, her gaze carefully searching the cliff's edge for the mark she had left behind. Then, twisting her body slightly, a faint blush tinged her cheeks, she whispered, "Master, this is it. The cliff is too narrow and steep. Going down alone would be dangerous, so I'll have to trouble you for help."

Zhongli remained silent, his mind slowly following the direction of Little Medical Immortal's finger. In an instant, the general scene within the cave appeared clearly in Zhongli's mind.

"Yes, there are indeed some treasures hidden here." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli gently picked up the Little Medical Fairy and instantly spread his wings of Dou Qi, which shone with a crimson-gold light. With a sudden flutter of his wings, in the blink of an eye, Zhongli had brought the Little Medical Fairy to the cave entrance and carefully set her down.

"Let's go." After Zhongli said that, he strode straight into the cave.

"Oh...oh...ok." Xiao Yixian had obviously not yet recovered from Zhongli's Douhuang-level speed, and she had already arrived at the place she had tried many times but failed.

At this moment, a hissing sound came from the cave entrance, as if it were the cry of a snake-like monster. However, before Little Medical Fairy could open her mouth to warn him, the cave was illuminated by a dazzling golden light, and peace returned in an instant.

"It's okay, it's just a rock snake. It's safe now, come in." Zhongli's steady voice came out from the cave.

The little medical fairy who had been standing there in a daze finally came to her senses and hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up with Zhongli.

Approaching the rock snake, they saw several rock spears piercing deep into its body. It's well known that even after death, snake-like monsters can still produce strange movements controlled by nerves. However, the rock snake before them remained motionless, firmly anchored to the cave wall by rock spears from head to tail. Only with careful observation could one detect the faint trembling of its scales between the two rock spears. Witnessing Zhongli's astonishing fighting prowess, they were filled with admiration for his profound understanding and exquisite execution of the art. Xiao Yixian's admiration for Zhongli was palpable, and she quickly followed him.

Deep within the cave, the first thing that caught his eye was a withered skeleton. Beneath it lay gleaming gold coins and three unadorned treasure chests. Zhongli slowly approached the skeleton, examining it carefully, trying to detect any hidden dangers.

At this time, the Little Medical Fairy shouted in surprise: "Master, look, he is holding the key to the treasure chest in his hand!"

Zhongli turned around when he heard the voice and his eyes fell on the skeleton's palm. He saw that it was indeed holding three keys and an object similar to a map in its hand.

The Little Medical Fairy carefully took out the key and the incomplete map and respectfully handed them to Zhongli. After Zhongli took them, he examined the incomplete map with full concentration.

"This... seems to be filled with the aura of strange fire," Zhongli said after a moment's silence. Zhongli had previously analyzed Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Fire, revealing its unique qualities compared to ordinary flames and fighting spirit. Now, from this fragment of the map, he could clearly sense a special power dozens of times more powerful than the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

"Strange fire?" The Little Medical Fairy originally specialized in cultivating poison-attributed Dou Qi, not fire-attributed Dou Qi, and she was completely immersed in medical skills, and knew very little about the many secrets of the cultivation world.

"Yes, and it's an extremely powerful Strange Fire. However, this is probably just a fragmentary image, and it's difficult to determine the Strange Fire's true location based on this alone." Zhongli didn't take it too seriously, but Little Medical Immortal couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, the word "Strange Fire" alone was enough to conjure up images of an incredibly powerful and majestic treasure.

Just when Xiao Yixian was filled with regret, Zhongli had already opened the first box with the key.

"This is the Earth-grade intermediate martial arts technique, the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra. It seems that the tomb owner was also an expert in using poison during his lifetime. If you had not learned my Nine-Colored Poison Sutra, this Earth-grade intermediate Seven-Colored Poison Sutra would be a good second choice." Zhongli analyzed carefully.

"Haha, Master, please stop teasing me. I have already mastered a high-level Heaven-grade technique. This mid-level Earth-grade Seven-Colored Poison Sutra is naturally useless to me."

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly, then handed the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture to Little Medical Immortal and said, "Even though it's useless to you, keep it. Although few people practice this technique, it is, after all, an intermediate Earth-level technique. Besides, how do you know there aren't many people with afflicted poison bodies on the continent? If you can't find the right person, selling it at an auction wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Yes!" The Little Medical Fairy nodded vigorously, and then put the "Seven-Colored Poison Sutra" into the ring.

Then, Zhongli slowly opened the second mysterious treasure chest.

"Xuan-level advanced flying fighting skill - Purple Cloud Wings." Zhongli muttered softly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and a hint of joy gradually bloomed on his face.

"What?! Advanced Xuan-level!! Flying fighting skills!!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixiang's eyes widened in shock, and she hurriedly trotted behind Zhongli, staring intently at the precious and rare fighting skills in Zhongli's hand, examining them carefully.

"If we present this Purple Cloud Wing as a token of trust to the Xiao family in exchange for the qualification to practice in the Xiao family, I believe this matter will go smoothly." Zhongli said slowly with a calm expression.

"Well, everything is up to Master's arrangements." The little medical fairy responded obediently, nodding her little head continuously like pounding garlic.

After saying this, Zhongli took the key and gently inserted it into the keyhole of the third treasure chest...
