Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi said, "Yueya, since your mother has lived here for so long, didn't she leave you anything else?"

The wolf king thought for a moment, and after confirming that his mother had not left him anything in his memory, he said with a slight sense of frustration, "No, there is nothing else besides the memories my mother gave me."

Ji Daoyi asked, "Did this thatched hut exist a long time ago?"

The Wolf King looked at Ji Daoyi with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he would ask such a question. He then told Ji Daoyi what he knew again: "In my memory, a long time ago, this thatched hut was the place where the villain who enslaved my mother lived. He also planted many spiritual herbs here, and even the array outside the valley was set up by him."

Ji Daoyi said, "Logically speaking, a house that has been uninhabited and unrepaired for a long time will decay over time. Look at this thatched house, it not only doesn't have a trace of decay, but there isn't even a layer of dust. I think there must be something here that we don't know about."

For a thatched hut to remain intact for a century, the materials used in its construction must be exceptional, and the addition of certain formations is necessary to ensure its cleanliness at all times.

Ji Daoyi and Yueya then searched inside the thatched hut separately.

Sure enough, with the combined efforts of the man and the wolf, they finally found the entrance to the basement in the room, and then they entered the basement one after the other.

However, the basement passage was very long, and it took them almost ten minutes to reach the end.

Fortunately, the entire passage was equipped with luminous pearls, so there was no need for additional lighting; otherwise, Ji Daoyi would have been completely lost.

When they reached the end of the passage, they were greeted by an underground space of several tens of square meters. The most prominent features in this space were the shelves and bookshelves on both sides, on which were many dried-up medicinal herbs, which were casually placed.

Ji Daoyi picked up these medicinal herbs and found that they had rotted and could no longer be used to refine pills.

Looking at these dried-up medicinal herbs, he cursed the owner of the place for being such a waste, not preserving such good herbs properly and just leaving them carelessly on the shelves.

Then he looked at the books on the bookshelf, which mostly contained basic alchemy books and some books on spiritual herbs, but these were not as comprehensive as the information about his family.

Just when Ji Daoyi thought he had gained nothing else, he came across some books on formations.

He immediately became interested, since he had not yet systematically studied the knowledge of formations, so he packed all the books into his storage bag.

"Cook, come quickly and see what this is?"

Upon hearing the wolf king's call, he rushed to its side without even having time to carefully organize the books.

Looking at the six-pointed star platform in front of him, and the six slots for placing elemental stones, he immediately thought of a teleportation array.

After observing for a moment, Ji Daoyi said to the Wolf King, "Crescent Moon, this should be a teleportation array. You see, these six slots are for inserting spirit stones to activate the array. I just don't know if this teleportation array can be used, or where it leads."

As the young patriarch of the Ji family, he was no stranger to teleportation arrays, as there was one within Daoshu City. The teleportation array was maintained by the Nangong family, one of the five great families. Compared to the other families, the Nangong family seemed much more detached from worldly affairs.

The Nangong family is in the business of setting up formations; they are invited to set up more than 80% of the formations within major powers.

Moreover, the teleportation array in Daoshu City was also set up by the Nangong family, which established their status in Daoshu City.

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's words, the Wolf King's eyes lit up, and he said, "Cook, do you think it's possible that my mother is on the other side of the teleportation array?"

Ji Daoyi was also taken aback by the question, not expecting the Wolf King to ask him such a question. "I don't know. She may be there, or she may not. Didn't you say that your mother may have passed away a hundred years ago? Even if she is over there, your chances of finding her are very slim."

The wolf king replied sadly, "Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I still want to go and see."

Seeing the wolf king's sadness, Ji Daoyi couldn't bear it either, so he said, "It's alright, Crescent Moon, I'll go with you."

The wolf king was so moved by Ji Daoyi's answer that he pounced on him and landed on top of him.

"Big brother, you're so good to me. From now on, you're my real big brother."

Ji Daoyi never expected that a single decision would free him from the title of 'Cook'.

He was overjoyed, but he had completely forgotten that the Inheritance Secret Realm would open in just over twenty days. If he didn't return in time, his group would be missing his key member.

Before long, Ji Daoyi took out his few mid-grade spirit stones and put them into the groove of the teleportation array. With the energy injection from the spirit stones, the array patterns of the teleportation array emitted a bright light.

When Ji Daoyi saw the array patterns of the teleportation array light up, confirming that the teleportation array was working properly, he called over the Wolf King who was waiting nearby.

"Crescent Moon, let's go up!"

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's call, the Wolf King also jumped to the center of the teleportation array.

After waiting for several seconds, a bright light emanated from the teleportation array, illuminating the entire basement.

When the pillar of light above the teleportation array disappeared, Ji Daoyi and the Wolf King on the teleportation array also disappeared.

After a dozen seconds of teleportation, Ji Daoyi and the Wolf King safely arrived at the other end of the teleportation array.

However, upon arrival, they discovered that the teleportation array was a one-way fixed-point teleportation array, because they did not see any other teleportation arrays at the other end of the destination.

As soon as Ji Dao landed, he saw that they were in a palace made of stone bricks. At the highest position in the palace sat a huge human-shaped statue. He held a small alchemy furnace in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand.

The entire human-shaped statue looks very kind, just like the old man next door.

"Crescent Moon, we're doomed!! The teleportation array we just used was a fixed-point teleportation array. If we want to go back, we can only rely on luck."

The wolf king said guiltily, "Ah! Big brother, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you came here with me. I shouldn't have let you take this risk with me."

"Crescent Moon, don't say that. I came here with you voluntarily. It's not like we can't go back. As long as we can find a way out, I've had enough of that valley. A change of scenery is nice."

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's words, the wolf king experienced a feeling it had never had before.

"Big brother, you're so good to me!"

Ji Daoyi patted the wolf king's head: "Crescent Moon, let's go inside and look for clues about your mother. Maybe we can find our way back."
