I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.

Watching the two cave-dwelling beetles move about as if they were in an empty place, with earth and rocks flying everywhere, and digging a hole more than ten feet deep in a short time, Li Yue was already making plans in advance.

Although the Yuan Dynasty tomb at Pingshan has not yet been looted and destroyed, preparations should be made in advance for its next destination.

His cultivation level is still shallow. If he needs to venture into tombs and face dangers in the future, having such a strange beast that is naturally good at digging and burrowing through mountains to help him will make it much easier to enter and exit ancient tombs and save a lot of manpower.

But then I thought about it again, and this Mountain-Piercing Cave Armor is only one of the four armors of the Mountain-Moving faction.

This technique cannot be used outside of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangdong.

The Mountain Moving Taoists have always adapted to local conditions. The Mountain Digging Technique is based on selecting and applying techniques according to the terrain and water, and is categorized under the "cutting" principle of tomb raiding.

This technique is quite complex and requires a lot of materials.

Furthermore, this is a unique skill that requires moving mountains, and it cannot be mastered quickly.

Even if you go to great lengths to get your hands on this thing, without the right methods, it will only add unnecessary burdens.

It would be a losing proposition and extremely unwise.

After weighing the pros and cons, he gently suppressed that thought in his heart, no longer harboring any covetousness.

"The Yin energy I absorbed above the pool has not yet been refined. I'll take this opportunity to refine it and transform it into my own magical power."

Thinking of this, Li Yue stopped looking at the tomb raider's tunnel and retreated to a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, where he sat cross-legged.

He has gradually become accustomed to cultivating in this noisy and dangerous place.

Furthermore, the yin energy is directly absorbed into the body and stored, without needing to be forcibly circulated in the meridians.

Even if you are disturbed along the way, you don't need to worry about going into qi deviation or your qi and blood going against your natural order.

Holding my breath and concentrating, I calmed my mind in a few breaths.

At the same time, his divine sense quietly spread out, covering the surroundings, and he did not relax in the slightest because there were no treasure hunters here.

The air was filled with the screeching sound of the tomb raiders digging in the earth, and the exclamations of the bandits from the Unloading Ridge bandits.

Deeper still, there could be faint rumbling sounds coming from the mountainside.

It seems that Chen Yulou has already led people to bury medicine and clear the mountain elsewhere, making a great commotion.

Li Yue sighed inwardly. In his previous life, he only occasionally cultivated in such a chaotic and noisy place when he was forced into a desperate situation.

In this life, due to the changes brought about by cultivation, this will likely become the norm.

He no longer got distracted and focused on circulating his energy.

The dormant yin energy surrounding the dantian was like a layer of gray, cold mist.

He was not in a hurry to achieve results, but instead used his meager spiritual power to slowly envelop, nurture, and dissolve the impurities.

Strands of yin energy were refined into pure and cold magical power, which flowed into the dantian.

His cultivation level also steadily increased silently.

Beside him, Partridge Whistle looked up at Li Yue with a complicated expression.

Just now, when this person stood nearby and his gaze fell on the cave-dwelling armor, his eyes were clearly more focused than usual.

This unexpectedly made him feel a sudden tightness in his chest, giving rise to a sense of crisis.

But that strange feeling quickly dissipated, like an illusion.

When he looked again, Li Yue had already retreated from the spot, his face returning to its usual calm and indifferent expression, showing no longer any curiosity about the two strange beasts.

Unlike the bandits of the Unloading Ridge Clan, who were filled with curiosity, this calmness and indifference seemed to indicate that they were quite used to the peculiarities of the Cave Tomb Armor. They only paid a brief look before looking away.

He neither asked out of curiosity nor seemed to find it strange or odd; he was far too calm.

This, however, made Partridge Whistle feel a little strange.

He looked over the crowd.

Seeing Li Yue sitting cross-legged, seemingly taking a short nap with his eyes closed, I didn't say anything more.

He found a place to sit cross-legged and rest.

The ancient tomb at Ping Mountain is fraught with danger and unpredictability. Once the tomb raiders have cleared the tunnel, the real battle will have just begun, and we must recover our strength as soon as possible.

He knew that Ping Mountain was a solid mountain, and it would be a long time before it could be blasted open from the front. If things went smoothly, the mountain-penetrating armor would be able to reach the depths of the underground palace by nightfall.

Now that things have come to this, there's no use in rushing things; we can only wait and see how things develop.

Before long, Partridge Whistle closed his eyes and concentrated, as if in deep meditation.

Old Yangren and Hua Ling stood guard at the entrance of the tomb, keeping a close watch on the movements inside.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the bandits of the Unloading Ridge gang dared not disturb these extraordinary figures.

They were currently gathered in twos and threes at the foot of the mountain, resting and waiting.

They were just waiting for the tunnel to be dug before they went into the tomb to retrieve the treasure.

……

At the foot of the mountain, many members of the bandit gang were recuperating.

Some took a break, while others chatted.

Only a few members of the thieves who took turns working kept to their duties and remained vigilant at all times.

For the past two weeks, Hong Guniang has mostly teamed up with Li Yue and traveled with him, witnessing his actions firsthand.

He remained calm and composed in the face of adversity.

His every move exudes a dignified air that is hard for others to match.

They were neither as crude and reckless as the Unloading Ridge Bandits, nor as impetuous as ordinary martial arts practitioners.

Although somewhat aloof, he is extremely reliable.

Before she knew it, the girl in red had quietly fallen in love.

Such a person was truly the most unique she had ever seen in her life, and she had a vague feeling that he was a wandering traveler, a wanderer of the world.

If we don't ask him now and try to find out what he's thinking,

I'm afraid that once the matter at Ping Mountain is resolved and the items are retrieved from the underground palace,

This person will then disappear silently into the mountains, never to be seen again.

In her early years, she lived a life of chivalry and adventure, and had seen countless despicable and frivolous people.

Later, when I went up Changsheng Mountain, I saw even more rough and tough men.

At this moment, I felt that only such a calm, powerful, and unassuming person was worthy of entrusting one's life to.

Thinking about it, the thought of vowing never to marry in the past faded considerably.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he began to secretly make plans.

She wondered if Li Yue had feelings for someone else, and whether her girlish thoughts would seem presumptuous.

She wanted to go up and ask him a few questions to see if he had any feelings for her.

But Li Yue had no intention of talking to anyone.

He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, entered a meditative state, and remained completely still.

Miss Hong wondered to herself if this man was really a Taoist priest.

The Mountain-Moving Taoist was disguised as a wandering Taoist priest to conceal his true intentions and carry out his tomb-robbing activities.

Li Yue also kept her hair long and often meditated to calm her mind.

But it's unclear what he sought in the tomb, nor does he seem to care much for gold, silver, or precious goods.

Was it really to retrieve treasures from the tomb to help the common people?

This magnanimity is truly admirable, thought Hong Guniang, as she rested her chin on her hand and waited silently.

The air at the foot of the mountain was damp and cold, and the torchlight flickered.

She waited for a while, and gradually felt tired. She leaned against the cold stone wall and fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, the firelight among the rocks was dim, and the digging sounds from the distant tomb were still going on.

She wasn't sleeping soundly; she just patted her face and quickly woke up.

Looking up, I saw that Li Yue had already opened his eyes.

He sat there alone, staring blankly at the distant rock face, as quiet as a gray shadow.

It looked as if it would melt into the rock at any moment.

A thought struck Hong Guniang. She gathered the damp strands of hair from her temples and slowly walked up to Li Yue, wanting to take this opportunity to probe his background.

For example... whether they are already married, whether they have any family ties, and what their future plans are.

She deliberately walked quietly, not wanting to disturb her brothers.

The words of such a trusted confidant should not be known to others, as they are spoken in the depths of the mountain.

"Brother Li, were you resting or... practicing meditation while you were sitting quietly?"
