Volume 1: Life is Like First Love Chapter 136: Huan Shan's Treasure

  Fang Mu's face was filled with despair, he didn't know why that mysterious Mo Qian senior had stopped paying attention to him over a year ago, letting him come and go several times, calling out repeatedly, but ultimately returning in vain.

  He didn't know what he did wrong, always thinking about the last time they met, analyzing it over and over again, he thought it was because of that bone knife.

  He couldn't help but tell his father about it half a year ago, and at that time, his father was silent and didn't say a word. However, several days later, his father told him that the other party had already left the rainforest and had departed in a hurry, as if they had encountered an unexpected event.

  Fang Mu heard this and fell silent for a long time. He had also thought of giving up, but in that last conversation, Su Ming's words were 70% effective in healing his emotional wounds, making Fang Mu unwilling to give up just like that.

  Although his father had told him that the other party had left, Fang Mu still came here once a month, calling out for several days in a row, hoping to get a response one day.

  For over a year, he had hardly ever stopped, and he felt that this was his only chance.

  Fang Mu knew that his actions were all in his father's eyes, which could be seen from the fact that every time he came and went to the rainforest, his father still let the strong men of the tribe protect him, and according to past habits, stayed outside the rainforest.

  Thinking of all this in his mind, Fang Mu let out a long sigh and walked alone in the rain forest, occasionally shouting out of habit.

  "Senior... senior..." Fang Mu arrived at the place where he last met with Su Ming, looking around, his expression dim.

  "I've got the herbs you prepared, are they ready?" A calm voice came from behind Fang Mu, this voice was sudden, but in this rain forest, it seemed as if it should have been there all along, blending in with a sense of harmony.

  Fang Mu was taken aback and suddenly turned around, seeing a familiar figure standing in the same place as that year.

  "Ah... Ah, senior!" Fang Mu's body trembled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with madness, his breathing quickening, as if he couldn't believe it.

  "The beast bone that can compare to Kai Chen has been prepared, it's just that..." Fang Mu looked at Su Ming, afraid that he would disappear again. Now that he had finally appeared, he immediately explained anxiously.

  "It's just that those three herbs are rare, my dad helped me search for a long time and only found two of them. The last one, called Tianlai Branch, has been extinct in the South Morning Land for a long time, unless it's some special place, it's hard to find outside." Fangmu said, immediately taking out a black bell from his pocket and crushing it in front of Su Ming.

  The black fog dispersed, and in front of Fang Mu appeared two pieces of purple beast bones, as well as two stalks of medicine grass that emitted a dazzling glow.

  Su Ming's upper body was hidden in the darkness, where he gazed at Fang Mu and the beast bones and herbs in front of him, falling silent.

  "Senior, give me some more time, I..." Fang Mu's heart was racing with anxiety.

  "I want you to find these herbs, in order to refine a potion. This potion is very useful for me and can also indirectly help you dispel the barbaric injuries within your body." Su Ming slowly spoke.

  "If one thing is missing, this medicine will be very difficult to refine." Fang Mu gritted his teeth, made a fist and bowed to Su Ming, then looked up with a serious expression.

  "Senior, my father once said that the Tianlai branch is not impossible to obtain. In the depths of Handan City, there exists a secret place with three compartments. Decades ago, including Antou Village, people from three villages entered it and obtained a Tianlai branch, but this herb was obtained by Yan Chi Village and is said to have been used as medicine."

  But my father analyzed that there should still be a Tianlai sound branch, and half a year later, on the day of Wangu's creation, it was also the time of the ten-year-old Hanyang Great Fog. Every ten years at this time, the three tribes would open the underground passage of Hanyang Mountain, and the three tribes would send people to go with the guests...

  "My father will arrange for our clansmen to go in and search for a Tian Lei branch at that time... Please, senior, wait another half year!"

  "Oh?" Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, his mind responding to He Feng's inquiry.

  "Master, what this child says is not wrong. The place where our ancestors of the Han Shan clan sat in meditation has a very strong prohibition. Not to mention them, even I couldn't enter at other times. Only once every ten years, on the day of Wan Gu Yi Zao, the entire Nan Chen land will be shrouded in fog. At this time, the prohibition of our ancestors' place of sitting in meditation will be weakened by an invisible force, allowing people to enter."

  For these three hundred years, they have entered many times, their purpose is nothing more than to get the relics of their ancestors. After all, their ancestors left behind four heavy treasures, and the rest of the treasures were taken with them to their place of enlightenment.

  I heard about the events of that year, but I didn't know the specifics. All I knew was that after our ancestor's death, the three departments rebelled against us. The place where our ancestor passed away wouldn't be so simple; otherwise, these three departments would have taken all the treasures long ago and wouldn't have entered multiple times. Apparently, they haven't gained much yet.

  Master, this might be an opportunity. If you can enter the ancestral sitting place with my assistance, there should be some gains. Moreover, the reason why these three departments have been absorbing guests for a long time is precisely to prepare for entering that place.

  The three tribes were once affiliated with the Han Shan Department, and it is said that they were driven out by their ancestors and left with a slave imprint. For their ancestors, the three tribes have been slaves for generations, so when they enter the ancestral hall, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable. However, if they are outsiders, there are no such restrictions."

  "If so, why could these three tribes exterminate the Han Shan tribe back then?" Su Ming's mind transmitted his thoughts.

  "This matter, don't mention it to the master, I and the clan members have also been troubled for a long time, but after all, it was something that happened hundreds of years ago. Specifically what happened back then, very few people clearly know... But I guess, there must have been outsiders involved in the matter back then!" He Feng said quietly after a moment of silence.

  Su Ming's eyes gleamed with contemplation. He hadn't been particularly interested in this place where the ancestors of the Han Shan Clan had sat and meditated, but the strange red grass and his own difference from others on the grass had left him both astonished and curious about the ancestors of the Han Shan Clan.

  "I'll wait for you again for half a year, and if after half a year you can produce the heavenly sound of Tianli, I will fulfill my promise!" Su Ming looked at Fang Mu, speaking calmly.

  "Before you go to the third department's secret place, come here for a moment, I have some things to entrust to you." Su Ming took a step forward, and Fang Mu's eyes blurred, unable to see Su Ming's figure clearly. He only felt a coolness in his mouth, as if there was an unusual object entering his mouth and melting, spreading throughout his body.

  By the time he reacted, all around was quiet, Su Ming had already left, and the beast bones and herbs on the ground had all disappeared.

  Su Ming transformed into a long rainbow, not in the sky, but galloping through this rainforest.

  "The master, why don't you take this opportunity to ask him to follow in?" He Feng couldn't help but ask.

  "Do you really want me to go?" Su Ming stepped forward, his pace extremely fast, and a thought casually emerged in his mind.

  "The master misunderstood, the little one didn't mean it." He Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily stopped asking questions.

  He and Feng no longer mentioned the matter, but instead pointed out the direction, telling Su Ming where he had hidden the treasure. Half a month later, in this continuous mountain range far from Handan City, Su Ming stood on a mountain peak, looking down below.

  The surroundings were desolate, with no sign of human presence anywhere. This place was even more remote, and few people came here. The mountain wind was strong, blowing mournfully against Su Ming's body, causing his long hair to flutter, and his clothes made a rustling sound as they flapped wildly.

  In front of him was a valley formed by mountains and hills, with many valleys covered in grass and trees, although not a rainforest, but also deep mountains.

  "Master, my cave is in the seventh valley ahead," and the sound of the wind echoed in Su Ming's mind. Su Ming's eyes flashed, and after a moment of contemplation, he lifted his feet and rushed straight to the seventh small valley.

  This seventh valley, from a distance, looked like a depression, with many grasses and trees inside, and there were not a few dark beasts. Cautiously taking step by step into the valley, Su Ming looked around and found that the valley was quite quiet, with many cracks in the rocks on both sides, which were filled with vegetation.

  His eyes swept through the valley, and a white stone coin appeared in Su Ming's hand. He grasped it and his right hand formed a seal, immediately everything within a hundred feet around him appeared in his mind, the wind blowing through the grass, the spider silk and horse tracks, all at ease.

  Soon, his gaze focused on a small crack in the middle of the mountain rocks on the right side, and his eyes flashed slightly.

  In that crevice, Su Ming clearly saw two large eagles, and it was obviously the habitat of this bird.

  "You've hidden it quite carefully, is this the cave you were talking about?" Su Ming said calmly.

  "The place where birds and beasts inhabit is easy to notice, but it's also easy to be ignored, especially in this remote deep mountain. There are many such carvings." The sound of the wind echoed in Su Ming's mind, being very careful and cautious.

  Su Ming's branding technique was all concentrated in that crack, and after careful examination, no abnormalities were found. He then rushed towards the crack, entered it instantly, and the two carved birds were startled, flying up and about to scream when they were stabbed by Su Ming's branding technique on their heads, and after being forced out, they fell into the valley below, fainting.

  As he walked to the right side of the cave, Su Ming lowered his body and looked at the ground. His right hand suddenly slapped the ground, causing it to shake violently and crack open, revealing a palm-sized jade box hidden inside.

  The jade box was nothing special, with some floral patterns carved on it. Su Ming didn't pick it up immediately, but instead looked at it carefully for a few moments, his expression gradually becoming more and more solemn.

  The material of this box is also made from petrified coins.

  "The precious treasure left by the ancestors of the Hanyang Department... what is it, I wonder..." Su Ming sat down cross-legged, staring at the box, and had asked He Feng what kind of treasure was inside.

  But Feng's answer was somewhat vague, he had opened it once before, but only saw a green light, after the light faded, the box automatically closed and no matter how hard he tried to open it again, he couldn't.

  Furthermore, he was afraid that if he didn't have the cultivation to possess this treasure, it would lead to his downfall. After careful consideration, he hid the treasure here and planned to retrieve it after opening up the dust, to try and open it then.
