Chu Yurong walked down the mountain path and passed through the forest. The village below became clearer and clearer, like a paradise.
About fifteen minutes later, Chu Yurong arrived at the foot of the mountain. An extraordinary house was built against the mountain. There were many houses of the same style arranged around it. They extended very long. There was a courtyard among them, and these houses were connected by this.
Chu Yurong crossed a stream and followed a small path beside the wall. She continued to walk down. After a while, she passed by the door of a courtyard and someone suddenly walked out.
Chu Yurong turned her head to look as well. It was a middle-aged man in white. Chu Yurong was a little surprised. It was actually a cultivator, and he seemed to be at the eighth or ninth level of spirit enhancement. When the middle-aged man saw Chu Yurong, he was only stunned for a moment. He hurriedly went forward and bowed.
"Senior, are you here to look for my family head?”
"No, I just passed by this place and found that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, so I stayed here.”Chu Yurong said casually without thinking too much.
"Oh, Senior really has a discerning eye. Although my family head is not here, we can't lose our etiquette. Senior is so young, but your magic power is so profound. You must be the pride of a large sect.”The middle-aged man cupped his hands.
When Chu Yurong heard this, she was really happy. She didn't expect that there would be a cultivation family living in this area. Thinking about how there were several genius disciples in the sect who came from cultivation families, she couldn't help but be curious. Moreover, this person was much older than her, but he was so polite, so she agreed.
"Your Su family is a cultivation family, right? Do you have any disciples in the Qiyun Sect?”Chu Yurong walked into the courtyard.
"Are you referring to the Qiyun Sect of Yue Country? Due to the long journey, there are indeed no disciples in the Qiyun Sect. Please take a seat and I'll make you a cup of fragrant tea.”The middle-aged man walked into the room.
Chu Yurong did not care and looked around. The cultivation aristocratic family was indeed different from the aristocrats in Huo Zhou. There was a faint fragrance in the house, and there was a portrait of an old man in the middle of the hall. Of course, the one whose cultivation could not be seen from the painting was probably the ancestor of the Su family…After a long time, no one came. Chu Yurong was a little impatient and was about to get up to leave when the middle-aged man appeared again. He served fragrant tea. The teacup was carved from ancient wood.
"Please, this is our unique Green Mist Tea. Senior, please comment!”
Chu Yurong didn't understand tea either. She slowly drank it and felt the taste carefully. It was a little astringent, but it seemed to contain a trace of spiritual energy. She could only nod and say,
"Good tea, good tea! Don't you know who your family's head is?"
" Oh, I forgot. My family head, Su Tong, was originally a deacon of One Finger Sect. He resigned from his position and returned to the clan. However, there are still disciples in One Finger Sect.”The middle-aged man said respectfully.
Chu Yurong had heard of the One Finger Sect. The sect was not as old as the Qiyun Sect. Its founding ancestor was able to defeat Dharma treasures with a single finger at the Golden Core stage. From then on, his reputation spread far and wide. Later, he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and established the One Finger Sect. He was the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect and had a good relationship with the Qiyun Sect.
"Since your family head is not around, then I won't stay any longer. Qi Yun Sect's Chu Yurong, if fate allows it, I will come and visit your family head again in the future.”With that, he left the courtyard.
"Senior, take care." The middle-aged man had no intention of saving him. He stood up and said goodbye.
Then, Chu Yurong continued to walk down this path. After a while, she left the Su family's courtyard area. There was a small forest on the right. There were few branches and leaves. On each branch, there were two or three bright red flowers in full bloom. The fragrance of flowers wafted over. The stream was still crystal clear. The sound of the water was clear. Chu Yurong felt that this place was really a blessed land.
After walking along the stream for a while, Chu Yurong felt a little strange. She passed by three or four houses in succession, but their doors were tightly shut, as if no one had lived in them for a long time. After a while, she still did not see anyone living in the houses. Some of them had even collapsed completely.
Chu Yurong muttered in her heart. What was going on? He felt that something was wrong. As he was thinking while walking, there was an old man in the house in front of him. He stood in the courtyard and looked at him. Chu Yurong's face lit up and she went forward to talk to him.
The old man seemed to be very enthusiastic as well. He quickly invited him into the house and said,
"Young man, where are you from?"
"Old man, I was just passing by. I saw more than ten houses just now. Why are none of them occupied?”Chu Yurong asked curiously.
"She moved away a long time ago."
"Why did you move away? The environment here is so good." Chu Yurong asked again.
"Not good, not good. The crops here don't grow, and those green crops over there don't produce food.”The old man pointed at the door and waved his hand.
"Oh, there's such a thing?"
" The Su family…" The old man gestured and then continued,"
"The Smiths moved here more than 50 years ago. Later on, the crops stopped growing, and people moved away one after another! " When they first came, many people disagreed. Later, someone died, you know…" The old man's voice became softer and softer, and he became more and more mysterious.
As Chu Yurong listened, she felt more and more listless and her head felt heavier. Finally, she saw a figure walk in from outside the door and then fall down.
In a secret room.
"Master, I didn't expect this person to have so many spirit stones. The heavens are really helping our Su family!”The middle-aged man was extremely happy. He was the person who received Chu Yurong.
"With such a huge amount of resources, there's no need to worry about burying the outstanding talents of our Su Clan. It's just that…the person who can carry such a huge amount of spirit stones is very likely the descendant of an old monster from the Qiyun Sect.”
This person had a head full of white hair and was dressed in a black robe. His eyes seemed to be born with a sinister look as he spoke with a serious expression.
"Patriarch, don't worry. We won't kill him. As long as the Primordial Soul Lamp is not extinguished, we won't be able to detect him.”The middle-aged man smiled sinisterly.
" That's good. Let him be the Su family's human cauldron forever. Hahahaha…"
In a corner of the mountain was a cave. Two men stood guard outside the entrance, and three more stood guard inside. All of them were at the seventh or eighth level of spirit enhancement. There were a few array disks around the cave. The array flags were intertwined, making the entire cave seem to be one. In the center of the cave, there were three human-shaped ice blocks. The one frozen on the left was Chu Yurong. There were circles of complicated runes on the ground around the ice blocks. What was even more strange was that not far from the three ice blocks, there was a large tree with many branches. It had no leaves or small branches, but its vitality was extremely strong.
Chu Yurong woke up in a daze. The first thing she did was shock. She realized that she couldn't move at all and was trapped by the ice. After a moment, she felt a little relieved. She was about to cast a spell to see if she could escape when she suddenly heard the sound of conversation.
