Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 87: A hidden paradise

Tian Cang said, "Don't you have a spiritual spring in your cave?"

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a spiritual spring in the cave, but it is quite ordinary. The spiritual qi is not very strong. It may be useful for Qi Refining cultivators, but not necessarily enough for Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Haha, of course. But why am I insisting on it? It's because... there is an entrance next to the spiritual spring, which I have sealed off. If you enter it, you will find that the real cultivation place is below!"

"Ah? Really? I never expected that."

Tian Cang stood up and said, "I will take you inside." He patted the dirt and dust off his body and said, "You are really poisonous!"

Mi Xiaojing laughed awkwardly.

With everyone, Tian Cang led the way into the cave. The cave was not very deep, only about ten meters. There was a spiritual spring in the middle, surrounded by a stone circle. Once the stone circle was full, the water would flow out through the gap in the circle.

There was a thick bamboo pole split in half at the gap, and the spiritual spring flowed out along the bamboo pole to a large pottery jar outside the cave. Most of the jar was buried in the ground. Mi Xiaojing and the others used the water from the spiritual spring for drinking and cooking.

Tian Cang walked to the bottom of the cave and then raised his hand to cast a magical technique towards the left side. In an instant, the ground cracked and a hole appeared.

Mu Xiaoyin exclaimed, "Ah, there is another hole here! I never expected that."

Mi Xiaojing stopped everyone and said, "I will go down alone."

Tian Cang grinned and said, "Don't worry, there are no traps here." Then he jumped down.

Mi Xiaojing followed him and jumped down.

It was a very large space, much larger than the upper level. The upper level was just a small passage, while this was the real cave.

It was nearly a hundred meters long and wide, and about ten meters high. It extended deep into the mountain, which meant that the lower level of the cave was not empty.

There was a glowing formation embedded in the top of the lower level cave. After Tian Cang cast a magical technique, it emitted a warm yellow light.

At first glance, Mi Xiaojing saw a shelf. It was a wooden shelf with many things on it. Tian Cang picked up a magical sword, some bottles and jars, and some materials.

Mi Xiaojing suddenly smiled. It turned out that Tian Cang couldn't take back the small courtyard, but he left many things here. If he just left like that, he would feel unsatisfied. So he used this trick to come in and collect things.

While Tian Cang was busy packing, Wang Weijun, through Mi Xiaojing's eyes, saw something and couldn't help but shout, "Quick! Find a way to take that thing on the shelf. It's a Mirror Gang Stone!"

Mi Xiaojing was also stunned. He didn't expect that Tian Cang had actually hidden a Mirror Gang Stone.

If it wasn't for Wang Weijun's reminder, Mi Xiaojing would never have known that this dark stone was a Mirror Gang Stone. It was about the size of a human head and looked inconspicuous from a distance.

Mi Xiaojing took a step forward, and Tian Cang's packing speed increased. He warned, "These are all my things..."

"I know they are your things. How about this, I want to make a deal with you... um, for that stone on the shelf."

Tian Cang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Stone? Do you know what it is?"

"Hehe, I don't know... I just feel... that I have a connection with it!"

Wang Weijun almost burst out laughing in the Mantra Banner. This reason was too ridiculous.

Tian Cang was speechless. He asked, "You don't know what it is or what it's used for, so why do you want to trade for it?"

Mi Xiaojing took out a bottle and threw it to Tian Cang, saying, "I will trade with this!"

Three Clear Tranquility Pills!

Tian Cang really didn't know what this stone was for. He found it in a ruin and didn't pay much attention to it. He just put it on the shelf and planned to figure it out someday.

Originally, Tian Cang didn't plan to trade, but after opening the bottle, his eyes almost popped out. Three Clear Tranquility Pills!

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Tian Cang had traveled outside and knew that one Clear Tranquility Pill was a chance to save his life. He had never had such a pill in his hand before. It was extremely difficult to obtain such a pill in the Heart Sect.

The temptation of the Clear Tranquility Pill was extraordinary. Without hesitation, Tian Cang firmly said, "Alright, I will trade!"

Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He never expected that the Mirror Gang Stone would be obtained so easily. The other materials were easy to handle. The list had already been made, and as long as he refined more pills, it would be easy to gather the required materials.

Carefully putting away the Mirror Gang Stone, Tian Cang also packed up his own things. He said, "Although there is no spiritual spring here, the spiritual qi is even more abundant than above. If you set up a Gathering Spirit Array here, the effect of cultivation will be much better than above."

"Okay, I don't know how to set up a Gathering Spirit Array, but you can use the pills to exchange for a Banner Formation for the Gathering Spirit Array. It's expensive, but definitely worth it."

Mi Xiaojing looked at him with curiosity, not knowing what he meant by saying this.

Tian Cang said, "You don't have to be surprised or look at me like that. The reason I mentioned it is because I want a promise."

Mi Xiaojing asked curiously, "What promise?"

"When I reach a bottleneck in my cultivation, I can come back... and cultivate here for a few days. Of course, I won't interfere with your cultivation."

Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in the future, if you need pills, you can bring things to exchange!"

Tian Cang was instantly excited. Although he was a member of the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he had no connection with alchemy. He was just attached to the cultivators of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If he hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn't have had any status at all. It was really difficult to make friends with a Pill Master.

"Good!"

Tian Cang readily agreed. This kind of good thing was hard to come by. Since Mi Xiaojing took the initiative to invite him, he naturally agreed. As for the small courtyard, it didn't matter if he gave it to Mi Xiaojing. Moreover, he had already taken back his things from here, so there was basically no loss. If he applied to the Grass-Benevolence Hall, he could still get a residence with a spiritual spring, and it might even be better.

Originally, he came here angrily to fight desperately, but now he left with satisfaction. This result was unexpected for both Mi Xiaojing and Tian Cang.

Mi Xiaojing returned to his room, and after Tian Cang left the cave entrance, he flew away.

Mu Xiaoyin saw Mi Xiaojing come in and peeked out, saying, "Where's that annoying guy?"

Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "He left..."

Mu Xiaoyin patted her chest and said, "He's really fierce... luckily he was scared away by Junior Brother!"
