Chapter 611: I’m Not a Greedy Person

Looking into Yun Chan’s eyes, Yang Cheng’s heart instantly softened, and he nodded, "Alright, I also promise you, without your consent, I absolutely will not touch the Purifying Spirit Spring."

The misunderstanding between the two was thus resolved. Actually, Yang Cheng understood her difficulties, it was just that he felt uneasy at the time and childishly chose to ignore her. Later, he somewhat regretted it, but fortunately, it didn’t end in disaster.

Yun Chan smiled and placed the green Peace Pendant into a groove on the wall.

Originally, the cave was pitch black, and the walls were uneven, so no one would have noticed this groove.

As soon as the Peace Pendant was placed in the groove, a glow lit up, then spread outwards, revealing a clear circular pattern.

Yun Chan immediately urged her True Qi within, infusing it into the Peace Pendant, making the circular pattern more pronounced, finally opening with a ’click’ to reveal a slit.

In that instant, Yang Cheng felt a rush of rich Spiritual Energy, and his body instinctively began absorbing it.

He glanced inside and saw a small pond filled with Spiritual Energy, with a blooming Jade Lotus at its center.

The gap widened, stopping when it was large enough for a person to pass through.

Yang Cheng felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy almost enveloping him, but he wasn’t sure if absorbing too much would affect the Purifying Spirit Spring, so he restrained himself from absorbing it.

"Come inside with me, the Spiritual Energy here is too abundant, that old guy might sense it."

Yun Chan stretched out her hand, pulling Yang Cheng inside with a large stride.

She lightly raised her hand, and the gap slowly closed behind them.

Yang Cheng curiously looked around and discovered this place was quite extraordinary.

Unlike the pitch-black cave outside, this place felt like entering a fairyland. Various herbs nourished by the Spiritual Energy grew on the ground, and the small stones on the ground had been infused with Spiritual Energy over many years, transforming into sparkling Spirit Stones.

The small pond in the middle emitted a faint glow, but it reflected off the Spirit Stones on the ground, illuminating the entire cave. Even without a flashlight, one could clearly see the beautiful scenery around.

Yun Chan dared not waste time and immediately picked up a large gourd to collect the Purifying Spirit Spring.

Yang Cheng walked over curiously to observe, finding the Purifying Spirit Spring hidden within the Jade Lotus, though the secretion from the flower center was slow.

She was careful not to waste a single drop, gently extracting the Purifying Spirit Spring into the gourd, then waited for the flower center to secrete more.

"So, how is it? Isn’t it beautiful here?"

"It’s even more beautiful than I imagined. Can I pick these herbs?"

Yang Cheng’s eyes fell on the dense array of herbs, almost unable to look away.

"You can, but don’t pick too much. I don’t want this place’s environment to be ruined."

"The previous village chief passed the position to me and told me the location of the Purifying Spirit Spring, only I know in the entire village. Even my mother doesn’t know. So when I was little and came up the mountain to fetch the spring, I felt quite bored and treated the flowers, grass, and stones here as friends, pretending to chat with them."

Speaking of the past, a smile appeared on Yun Chan’s lips.

"It’s not boring now, with me accompanying you."

Yang Cheng reached out to pat the top of her head, then bent down to pick two herbs, placing them in the basket.

"Only picking two?"

Yun Chan was a bit surprised, thinking he would at least fill half the basket with herbs.

"You said these are your friends. How could I bear to pick them? These two herbs are for making medicine, they’d surely fetch a good price and improve the villagers’ lives."

Hearing this, Yun Chan first chuckled softly, then emotionally said, "Yang Cheng, you’re a good person. I’m glad you came to Hidden Cloud Village; otherwise, in a few decades, this place would vanish."

"Can this ’good person’ take a few Spirit Stones?"

Yang Cheng asked with a mischievous smile.

Yun Chan, who was touched to the point of misty eyes moments ago, couldn’t help but laugh at his expression, "Take them! But make it no more than ten, otherwise the cave won’t be bright anymore."

"I’m not greedy, just three will be enough."

Yang Cheng lowered his head, searching for stones he fancied.

He always felt he needed a suitable weapon, but hadn’t found anything fitting, so he planned to forge one himself.

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the weapon he needed must be hard, sharp, and capable of being controlled by True Qi.

Spirit Stones contained abundant Spiritual Energy; if embedded into a weapon, one could merge mind and weapon, controlling its direction and power merely by infusing True Qi.

The cave was littered with Spirit Stones, but embedding too many in a weapon would be cumbersome, so Yang Cheng only planned to embed three.

He focused on searching the ground, where the colors of Spirit Stones were varied, formed randomly, but the clearer they were, the fuller the Spiritual Energy they held.

A while later, Yun Chan finally finished collecting the Purifying Spirit Spring, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and softly said, "Yang Cheng, I’m done. Did you find the Spirit Stones you like?"

"I found them, just these three."

Yang Cheng opened his palm, which held Spirit Stones of red, green, and golden hues, different in color but extraordinarily radiant.

"You really have an eye for quality, picking the best Spirit Stones."

Yun Chan could naturally sense the dense Spiritual Energy emanating from the Spirit Stones. To find such good Spirit Stones in this disruptive environment truly showed his capability.

"You promised to let me take them, no taking back!"

Yang Cheng quickly tucked the Spirit Stones into his pocket, fearing Yun Chan might snatch them back.

"Look at you scared, am I that kind of person?"

Yun Chan reached out to pat his shoulder, her palm emitting a stream of True Qi as the stone door in front turned, revealing the way out.

Crossing the threshold, she felt a chill wind blow over, making her shiver.

"Yun Chan, how much Purifying Spirit Spring did you collect? Is it enough for Aunty Ni?"

Just as Yang Cheng asked, Yun Chan grabbed his hand.

"Almost. If it’s not enough, we can return later. But I feel uneasy, let’s hurry down the mountain."

Though Yun Chan hadn’t sensed any danger, her intuition told her a threat was approaching.

She checked the wall to ensure the entrance was closed, then hastily pulled Yang Cheng to leave.

Yang Cheng noticed her uneasy expression, handed her the basket, and then carried her on his back, quickly heading up the mountain.

The leaves brushed against his tall figure, creating a rustling sound as he kept his ears perked, watching for any movement around.

He vaguely heard a whooshing sound, accompanied by a cold killing intent.

Yang Cheng instinctively dodged by reflex, as a dart whizzed past his ear, embedding deeply into a tree trunk.
