Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 74 Ancient Mineral Veins!
After the Yin-Yang Sect elder appeared, he ignored the surrounding discussions and locked his gaze on Xiao Chen.

"Boy, hand over the seven-colored glass heart, and I can consider giving you a quick death!" The voice of the Yin-Yang Sect elder was hoarse and low.

Xiao Chen sneered, "You want the Seven-Colored Glazed Heart? Then come and get it with your ability!"

"Hmph, you don't know how to live or die!" The Yin-Yang Sect elder snorted coldly, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

He stretched out his skinny claws and grabbed Xiao Chen fiercely.

Seeing that the Yin Yang Sect elder was about to succeed, Xiao Chen still stood there, motionless.

"This kid is dead!"

"How could he possibly stop the Yin Yang Sect elders from attacking?"

"What a pity that such a genius is about to fall like this!"

Just when everyone thought Xiao Chen was doomed, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"The people from the Yin-Yang Cult are so bold! How dare they run wild in the Yaochi Holy Land!"

Everyone present was stunned.

No one expected that the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi would personally come forward to speak up for an unknown boy.

When the elder of the Yin-Yang Sect saw the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi appear, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He retracted his claws and bowed to the Saintess of Yaochi, "I didn't realize that Your Highness the Saint was here. I apologize for any offense. Please forgive me!"

Yao Chi Saint Maiden glanced at the Yin Yang Cult elder indifferently, "Have the Yin Yang Cult always been so arrogant and domineering? It's not your turn to act so presumptuously here!"

The Yin Yang Sect elder's face turned pale and blue. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Your Highness the Saint is right. I will take my leave now!"

After saying that, the Yin Yang Sect elder left in disgrace with Tuoba Feng.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Sect elder leave, Yao Chi Saint turned around and said, "You are quite good. You were able to break Tuoba Feng's source technique. This seven-colored glass heart is what you deserve."

Xiao Chen looked at the cold and beautiful face of the Saint of Yao Chi, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Her Highness, for your help."

Yao Chi Saintess nodded gently, "This bottle of elixir will be helpful to your cultivation. I hope you can make good use of it."

Pill?

Or was it given by the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi herself?

Wow, what a treat!

Xiao Chen took the jade bottle with a little surprise. It felt warm to the touch and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Before he could thank her, the Saintess of Yao Chi had already turned around and walked away.

Her light figure rode on the wind and disappeared into the sky.

"Your Highness, please stay..."

Yao Chi Saintess did not look back, "Practice well, don't let your talent go to waste..."

What does she mean?
Xiao Chen held the jade bottle in his hand, his heart full of doubts.

The back of the Saintess of Yao Chi gradually became blurred until she disappeared.

Xiao Chen then lowered his head and looked at the jade bottle in his hand.

The bottle is crystal clear and delicate to the touch, as warm as mutton-fat jade.

The mouth of the bottle is sealed with a layer of faint spiritual energy, and you can faintly smell a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

He carefully opened the cork, and suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the bottle, illuminating the surrounding area.

The light dissipated, revealing the contents of the bottle—a purple-gold pill.

Some lines can be vaguely seen on the surface of the pill, as if they were formed naturally.

"What an astonishing fluctuation!" Li Heishui came over at some point, his face full of envy, "This is definitely a top-grade precious elixir! The Saint's move is truly extraordinary!"

Xiao Chen nodded, his heart filled with joy.

He could feel that this pill contained extremely huge energy. If he could refine it, his cultivation would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

However, when his eyes fell on the pill again, he found something wrong.

Beneath the purple-gold light, there was a barely perceptible hint of blood-red.

He was startled and quickly mobilized the divine power in his body, wanting to see the blood-red color clearly.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the blood-red color was always hidden under the purple-gold light and could not be completely captured.

"This pill... is a bit weird." Xiao Chen frowned and muttered to himself.

"Weird? What's weird?" Li Heishui looked confused.

"Don't touch it!" Xiao Chen quickly stopped Li Heishui and resealed the stopper of the jade bottle.

He had a feeling that this pill was not as simple as it seemed.

"Her Highness the Saint said that this item will be of great help to your future cultivation, so why don't you keep it!" Jiang Huairen patted Li Heishui's shoulder, signaling him not to meddle in other people's business.

"Let's go back and talk about it first."

When he turned to leave, he faintly heard an extremely subtle sigh coming from the tightly closed jade bottle.

After returning to his residence, Xiao Chen was still feeling restless.

"Big Black Dog, help me take a look at this pill." Xiao Chen handed the jade bottle to Big Black Dog.

The big black dog took the jade bottle, placed the pill in his palm and observed it carefully.

"This guy... isn't simple." The big black dog narrowed his eyes and whispered, "This energy fluctuation seems like some kind of seal, but not entirely."

"Do you feel like there's a spiritual presence inside?"

Xiao Chen already had this feeling in his heart.

He suddenly felt a strange attraction guiding him in a certain direction.

"This energy seems to be guiding us somewhere." Xiao Chen said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Where?" Li Heishui asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I feel this matter is definitely not that simple." Xiao Chen frowned. "The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gave this pill as a gift. There must be some deep meaning behind it."

As they were discussing, the pill suddenly emitted a dazzling light that filled the entire room.

Xiao Chen and Li Heishui were startled by this sudden change and took a few steps back at the same time.

The jade bottle in the big black dog's hand suddenly exploded, and the pill floated in the air.

"This...what's going on?" Li Heishui exclaimed. He felt an invisible sense of oppression coming from the pill.

"Be careful!" the big black dog shouted, and he quickly deployed a protective formation.

At this moment, a powerful aura came from afar, making it hard to breathe.

Xiao Chen and Li Heishui's faces changed drastically. They realized that a powerful enemy was approaching.

"It's the leader of the Yin-Yang Cult!" Big Black Dog's voice trembled slightly. "He must have sensed this energy fluctuation!"

Sure enough, after a while, there was a noisy sound outside the door, and a team of Yin-Yang Sect masters dressed in black came in one after another.

The leader was none other than the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect.

"Xiao Chen, hand over that pill!" the Yin-Yang Cult leader said in an icy tone. "Dream on!" Xiao Chen replied coldly, "This pill is crucial to my cultivation. Don't even think about taking it from me!"

The face of the Yin Yang Sect leader darkened. He sneered and waved his hand, and a team of masters rushed forward.

Xiao Chen and Li Heishui quickly engaged in battle. Li Heishui swung his sword like the wind, while Xiao Chen used the magic power of the Four Extremes Realm to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy.

Although there were many masters of the Yin-Yang Sect, the tacit cooperation between Xiao Chen and Li Heishui, coupled with the formation set up by the big black dog, helped them withstand the enemy's offensive.

However, as time went on, the two men gradually lost their strength and suffered a lot of injuries.

"Damn, they are too strong!" Li Heishui gritted his teeth.

The leader of the Yin-Yang Sect finally took action, and each blow was filled with powerful magic power, intending to tear Xiao Chen and Li Heishui into pieces.

Just when the two were about to collapse, a powerful aura suddenly came from outside the door.

An old man in a tattered robe walked in slowly. He had an extraordinary temperament, his eyes were as calm as water, and his every move exuded a suffocating aura.

"Stop!" The old man's voice was low and powerful, shocking everyone.

The Yin-Yang Cult leader's expression changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented threat.
The old man casually waved his hand, instantly repelling the Yin-Yang Cult leader and his followers.
They all flew backwards and fell to the ground, not daring to act rashly again.

The old man slowly walked up to Xiao Chen.
"Well done, young man, you have courage." The old man smiled.

"Senior, thank you for your help." Xiao Chen bowed and saluted.
"What you feel in this treasure is far more than meets the eye."

Xiao Chen and Li Heishui frowned, their hearts filled with doubts.

"There are some things that you cannot understand now." The old man's tone became low.

He stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly, and the pill became quiet again.

"Remember, the secret of this treasure involves a huge conspiracy..."

The leader of the Yin-Yang Cult struggled to get up, his eyes full of resentment.

But intimidated by the old man's pressure, he could only stare at Xiao Chen.

Li Heishui also felt a chill down his spine. The old man's sudden appearance and terrifying power far exceeded his understanding.

However, the old man did not continue to explain. He just looked at Xiao Chen meaningfully, and his figure began to become blurred.

In the blink of an eye, the place was empty, leaving only a faint sense of oppression.

"This……"

Li Heishui widened his eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.

The big black dog also poked its head out from the formation, with a look of confusion on its face, and was obviously shocked by the old man's methods.

Xiao Chen felt mixed emotions.

A huge conspiracy?
What secrets are hidden in this small pill?
What role does the Saint of Yao Chi play in this?
Countless questions flooded his mind, making him feel unprecedentedly confused.

When the Yin-Yang Sect leader saw the old man disappear, his fear eased a little, but he still didn't dare to act rashly.

He glared at Xiao Chen fiercely, "Boy, don't be complacent, this matter is not over yet!"

Xiao Chen's heart seemed to be shrouded in a fog that could not be shaken off.

The old man's huge conspiracy made him unable to calm down for a long time.

He decided that he must find the old man and ask for clarification.

In the next few days, Xiao Chen almost walked every inch of land within a radius of 100 miles.

However, the old man seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no news of him left.

Just when Xiao Chen was about to give up, by chance, he discovered a clue in a quiet valley.

"The spiritual energy here seems to be more abundant than other places." The big black dog sniffed.

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he walked into the valley carefully. Finally, he saw a familiar figure in the depths.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, sitting cross-legged on a piece of blue stone with his eyes closed to rest.

"Senior!" Xiao Chen shouted excitedly, walked quickly to the old man and bowed respectfully.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his cloudy gaze.

"Young man, you really didn't disappoint me. You were able to find this place."

Xiao Chen was delighted and asked quickly, "Senior, what exactly did you mean by 'huge conspiracy'? Also, what secret does this pill hold?"

As he spoke, he carefully took out the jade bottle and handed it to the old man.

The old man did not take the jade bottle, but looked at Xiao Chen meaningfully, "This pill is called the 'Barrier Breaking Pill', which can help you break through the bottleneck of your cultivation."

"As for the 'huge conspiracy', it is related to an ancient mineral vein."

"Ancient mineral vein?" Xiao Chen frowned, looking puzzled.

"Not bad." The old man nodded.

When the big black dog heard the words "ancient mineral veins", he immediately became excited and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, an ancient mine! There must be a lot of good stuff in there, maybe even some rare treasures! Boy, this is a great opportunity to improve your strength, we definitely can't miss it!"

Li Heishui also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Xiao Chen, we can't just sit here and wait for death."

"Since the senior said there are clues in that vein, let's go and give it a try. We might find something unexpected!"

Xiao Chen looked at the two people who were eager to try, and made up his mind.

"Okay! In that case, let's go check out that ancient mine."

Along the way, the big black dog kept bragging to Xiao Chen and Li Heishui about his treasure hunting experience.

"Back in the day, I robbed famous tombs all over the world. What rare treasures haven't I seen? A mere ancient mine is easy for me to take."

The big black dog said proudly.

Li Heishui curled his lips and exposed it mercilessly.

"Big Black Dog, how dare you call yourself a tomb robber?"

"You're clearly dog ​​paddling. You've flattened someone's grave and still can't dig up anything good. It's truly disgraceful!"

"What do you know!" the big black dog retorted, "I'm doing that to prevent them from being stolen by greedy people, understand? This is called alternative protection!"

The two bickered all the way.

However, just as they were about to arrive at the ancient mine, they suddenly encountered a group of uninvited guests.

The leader was a thin man with a sinister look on his face. He was Tieyu, the small leader of the Yin-Yang Cult.

"Humph! There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you break in!"

Tie Yu stared at Xiao Chen grimly, "Boy, I let you get away with it last time, but this time I'll see where you can run!"

"Tie Yu?" Xiao Chen frowned. "It seems like you, the Yin-Yang Cult, are still ruthless and unwilling to give up! What? Didn't you learn a lesson last time? You still dare to come and die?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tie Yu roared and waved his finger at Xiao Chen.

"Boy, if you know what's good for you, hand over that treasure. I'll consider sparing your life! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
