On Dazhu Peak, I cultivated myself into a demonic master!

Chapter 32 The crisp sound of golden bells leads to a blood-soaked mistake; a lifetime is always filled with the story of infatuation!
"So what if it is..."

"Xiao Xiao is right. Since you demonic cultists value this treasure so much, then we will absolutely not let you have your way!"

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes fixed firmly on Biyao and Youji.

"Hmph, what's there to be embarrassed about if you want treasures..." Biyao pouted and rolled her eyes.

"What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?"

You Ji remained silent; Chen Xiao's defeat of the Black Water Serpent had already instilled a deep sense of apprehension in her.

Seeing that Youji didn't make a move, Chen Xiao didn't bother with them either.

With him around, Biyao and Youji pose no threat.

Now, facing the stone wall, there was no way forward for them.

Biyao and Youji circled around several times, carefully feeling the walls, but still couldn't find the mechanism.

After all, only at the top of the entire stone wall can you see seven red stones arranged like spoons.

The other places don't look like they have any kind of government offices.

Biyao and Youji even tried to knock on the seven crimson stones, but to no avail.

"We finally found the Blood-Dripping Cave, surely we can open it?" Biyao sighed with a pout.

"Could it be a trap?" Lu Xueqi also tried to find the mechanism, but found nothing.

"Hmph, if it were a trap, why would it be hidden in this godforsaken place?"

Biyao shook her head and looked at Chen Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao looked calmly at the surface of the pool.

Of the four people here, he was the only one who wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Stop looking. If we can't find the mechanism, we won't be able to get in, and we won't be able to get any treasures."

Biyao followed Chen Xiao's gaze and could only see a faint red halo on the water's surface.

She leaned closer to look and discovered that it was just the reflection of seven red stones at the top of the rock wall.

I didn't notice anything else.

"Hey, I thought you knew where the mechanism was..."

However, Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know about the mechanism."

"you??"

Even You Ji was somewhat incredulous at this moment, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

How could a righteous disciple know more about the Dripping Blood Cave than they do?
Chen Xiao didn't explain; instead, he walked past Bi Yao and stepped directly into the pool.

The water rippled, reflecting off Chen Xiao's face and making it appear slightly red.

Perhaps because of the reflection, the seven crimson pebbles no longer looked like spoons in Chen Xiao's eyes.

It actually looks more like a hand.

Once the water calmed down, Chen Xiao reached out and stretched his hand through the gentle ripples downwards.

The pool was actually very shallow, and Chen Xiao quickly reached the bottom.

Below the water's surface, there is a thin layer of sand and gravel at the bottom.

Chen Xiao simply felt around and found five slightly raised spots.

It was the tips of his five fingers.

Brushing away the sand and stones, one can clearly see small red pebbles embedded at the bottom of the pool.

Then Chen Xiao found all seven red stones at the bottom of the water and pressed them down at the same time.

The entire cave remained silent.

There was no other sound except for the dripping water.

“It seems you’ve come to the wrong place too…” Biyao’s words carried a hint of disappointment.

If Chen Xiao fails, then they will probably go home empty-handed today.

"What's the rush?" Chen Xiao glanced at Bi Yao indifferently. "They'll be here soon."

Perhaps in response to Chen Xiao's words, a series of dull clicking sounds rang out a moment later.

Behind the water curtain, the originally incredibly solid stone wall had actually receded as a whole.

Although slow, a new opening was revealed.

Upon seeing this scene, Biyao's gaze involuntarily focused on Chen Xiao.

She held him in higher regard.

"He's not only incredibly skilled in cultivation, but also so intelligent..."

Seeing the newly appeared hole, the four of them rushed in without hesitation.

Soon, they came to a stone cave.

Two statues were placed inside the cave. One had a kind and benevolent face, while the other was ferocious and menacing.

But they are all carved to lifelike detail.

When Biyao and Youji saw the statue, they instinctively wanted to offer incense and pay their respects.

They clearly recognize these two statues.

However, just as they were about to kneel down, they found that Chen Xiao, holding Lu Xueqi's hand, did not stop and walked straight ahead.

The two exchanged a glance, quickly stood up, and hurriedly followed Chen Xiao and his companion.

If they had been a step slower, Chen Xiao and his companion might have taken all the treasures.

This time, their Ghost King Sect suffered a huge loss from coming to the Blood Cave.

Soon, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

In the middle of the fork in the road, there was a decaying skeleton.

Beside the remains stood a plaque with several ancient and vigorous characters engraved on it.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs..."

Chen Xiao had no interest in the Heavenly Book.

His own legacy as a powerful figure in the demonic path was something that could crush even the Heavenly Book.

After all, if one can cultivate the path to immortality, why would one need to read any heavenly books!
Chen Xiao led Lu Xueqi straight toward the path where the treasure was located.

Soon, they arrived at a secret room.

The secret room was filled with all sorts of magical treasures.

However, most of these magical artifacts have lost their spiritual power and become piles of scrap metal.

Chen Xiao's gaze swept over these discarded magical artifacts without lingering for long.

Suddenly, he noticed a box on the counter.

"Come!"

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and used his object manipulation technique.

As if summoned, the box flew directly into Chen Xiao's hand.

He slowly opened the box.

Suddenly, a surge of black energy burst out of the box.

Chen Xiao was already on guard. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy to form a spiritual energy barrier around the black energy, firmly locking it in.

Then, he took out a small porcelain bottle and filled it with all the black energy.

All that remained in the box was a bell.

The bell looks small and exquisite, with a warm and lustrous color.

With a gentle shake, it produces a crisp and melodious sound.

Chen Xiao picked up the bell and found two lines of small characters engraved on the inner wall of the bell.

"The crisp sound of golden bells leads to bloodshed, and a lifetime is always filled with stories of infatuation."

When Lu Xueqi saw these two lines of text, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, being a young woman after all.

She sighed softly, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

"It seems that the owner of this bell has a story of unrequited love hidden in his past."

"Why think so much? This is just a magic weapon."

Chen Xiao himself didn't feel much.

In his view, cultivating immortality should be done as one pleases, so why be so sentimental?

This bell was indeed just a magical artifact to him.

He wasn't interested in the story behind this magical artifact.

"This is... a mimosa tree!!"

Biyao and Youji, who followed behind, immediately recognized the bell as a treasure of the Holy Sect.

Albizia.

The two were very envious, staring at the Hehuan Bell in Chen Xiao's hand and couldn't help but swallow.

But they knew in their hearts that with Chen Xiao's strength, they simply couldn't compete with him.

Taking action would only be asking for trouble.

"Let's go, let's go to the other side."

Biyao and Youji turned around and left, returning to the fork in the road to see if there were any other treasures there.
