The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

The young man surnamed Ruan chatted idly with Lu Jing, showing no suspicion of Lu Jing's identity.

Firstly, the area around Xia Yi County was full of Demonic Path experts, and the young man surnamed Ruan didn't expect anyone from the Righteous Path to dare come here alone.

Secondly, the various factions of the Demonic Path were constantly scheming against each other, full of deceit and treachery, and not lacking in secretive and lying individuals, so Lu Jing could make up whatever he wanted.

Anyway, even if he made up something too outrageous, the young man surnamed Ruan would just assume he didn't want to tell the truth.

And Lu Jing also asked the young man surnamed Ruan some questions.

Most of them revolved around the demonic art he practiced.

After the great battle between good and evil forty years ago, the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, hailed as the leader of the Demonic Path, suffered heavy losses, and has since disappeared without a trace, leading people to suspect that its lineage had been severed.

The Whale Breath Art, which once terrified people, also faded from the martial world.

It wasn't until the appearance of the young man surnamed Ruan that the righteous and demonic paths were reminded of the terror of the Whale Breath Art and the Ten Thousand Demons Palace.

And this successor of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace had always been elusive.

Lu Jing didn't expect to be lucky enough to run into the real deal.

Then even if he couldn't find the treasure trove of the Myriad Wonders Gate on this trip, it wouldn't be a loss.

Lu Jing was wondering when to find an opportunity to test the young man surnamed Ruan and probe his strength.

Unexpectedly, when he looked ahead, he suddenly froze.

The young man surnamed Ruan noticed that the footsteps behind him had disappeared, and turned his head with a smile, "What's wrong again? Can't we go any further?"

But Lu Jing didn't answer, just frowned and looked around.

The two of them were now on the mountainside, about ten zhang away from a small pavilion standing among the cliffs. To the east of the small pavilion was an ancient tree, and to the west was a rock wall.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

Lu Jing found the scenery somewhat familiar.

However, he had never been to Xia Yi County. Lu Jing recalled it and finally remembered where he had seen it before.

Before, in that battle with the Pure Character Guard, Li Feilong, a dignified first-rate expert, was so shameless as to sneak up on him by swimming underwater, but unexpectedly, he was rebounded by his terrifying internal energy and suffered internal injuries.

Later, he was simply accidentally killed by those Pure Character Guards. Lu Jing found a map in his boots, drawn on a small piece of calfskin.

Lu Jing had also studied the map afterward, and even asked the old people in the capital about it.

Unfortunately, no one could say what was drawn on the map. Lu Jing had no good solution for this. There were no satellite maps in this era. He could only put away the parchment.

But he didn't expect to see the scenery drawn on the map on this unknown small mountain next to Xia Yi County.

So coincidental?

Lu Jing felt a little unbelievable.

The scenery drawn on the map was fine if it was near Xia Yi County, but it happened to be on this small mountain. Moreover, the smallness of this mountain was compared to those famous mountains and rivers. In terms of its own area, it was not too small.

Running around aimlessly all over the mountains and fields like this, it was not easy to run into this place.

It could only be said that his luck tonight was really amazing.

Just as Lu Jing was thinking about how to answer the young man surnamed Ruan's question, the latter's eyes flickered, he blew out the lantern in his hand, lowered his body, and made a silent gesture to Lu Jing.

Someone's coming!

Lu Jing also heard the sound of footsteps coming from the foot of the mountain. After waiting for a while, he saw four figures flying through the mountains.

They didn't take the main road, but fortunately, the wild road they chose was some distance away from Lu Jing and the young man surnamed Ruan.

In addition, Lu Jing and the young man surnamed Ruan had already hidden themselves, so the four of them didn't notice them.

He only heard one of them lower his voice and say, "Is this the place?"

"That's right, there's no mistake." Another person said, "I secretly came to see it during the day."

"Didn't alarm anyone else?"

"Third Sister, you can rest assured about my work."

At this time, the fourth voice also sounded, "Let's do it quickly, find the treasure trove of the Myriad Wonders Gate as soon as possible, and we can leave sooner. I heard that the kid surnamed Ruan from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace has also come to this place. He's not easy to deal with."

"Or... should we not open the treasure trove first? Wait until everyone is gone and then come back."

"You're dreaming. There may be more than just a few of us who know that the treasure trove is here. If someone empties the contents inside because we're too late, we'll be crying by then."

After that person finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. Then the four of them dispersed and groped around, searching for the location of the treasure trove.

Lu Jing glanced at the young man surnamed Ruan beside him and found that a hint of surprise had also appeared on his face.

However, the young man surnamed Ruan didn't seem to be in a hurry to take action. He had obviously made up his mind to let the four of them find or even open the treasure trove first, and then he would be the oriole waiting behind.

However, the four of them searched for a long time, touching every stone and every plant, but they didn't find anything.

In fact, some people had come here during the day. Lu Jing saw other people's footprints on the ground.

Those people had already searched this area, but they didn't find anything.

The four of them were a little anxious at this time.

The woman among them spoke again, "Second Brother, are you sure it's really here?"

"I'm sure, I looked very carefully during the day."

"Then why can't we find it?"

"Have some patience," the leader scolded at this time, "The treasure trove of the Myriad Wonders Gate has been silent for three hundred years, how could it be so easy to find? Everyone, think carefully again, did we miss something?"

So the four of them fell into thought again.

The leader reached into his arms and took out a piece of parchment that looked somewhat familiar to Lu Jing, spread it out in front of everyone, and carefully compared it with the scenery in front of him.

After a while, the woman took the lead again and said, "The four corners of this pavilion, aren't the orientations a little different from the painting?"

And her words awakened the dreamer.

The second oldest among them didn't say a word, and immediately used his lightness skill to jump onto the pavilion.

He groped around for a while, and was overjoyed, "The four corners of this pavilion can really be moved."

"Quickly arrange them according to the map."

Without waiting for others to urge him, the person on the pavilion had already started to move.

At this time, others successively discovered some subtle differences between the painting and reality, and successively adjusted them, and finally felt a tremor under their feet.

A crack appeared on the rock wall.

"It's done!"

The four of them were more excited than the other at this time. The person closest to the rock wall immediately wanted to rush in, but just as he took a step, a black short arrow pierced his heart!

The feathers on the tail of the arrow were still trembling.
