Master of Strange Dao

Three days later, a dozen children fainted and fell to the ground.

Yu Ziqing waved his hand gently, and the group gradually woke up, still somewhat bewildered as they observed their surroundings. Some had not yet recovered from the continuous beatings and still didn't know exactly what had happened.

Yu Ziqing didn't explain, letting the little kids come over to settle these people down, with the initial plan to mine for a year... well, make that three months.

Depending on their performance, future tasks would be decided later.

These things were not heavily involved by Yu Ziqing, as Jinlan Mountain already had a systematic program to train young ones.

Mining was merely the most basic form of training, serving not only to strengthen the body but also to temper the mind.

It wasn't that Yu Ziqing didn't want to oversee it, but he had other matters to attend to.

The ongoing relationship-building with the Moon God couldn't wait until something significant like a Spirit Plant had already been cultivated.

Others might think you found it by chance. For more chapters visıt novęlfire.net

He decided to frankly tell the Moon God, "Oh, I'm really sorry, but there is no such Spirit Plant in this world."

So I gathered a bunch of experts to artificially cultivate some.

The best method found so far is to first create a Big Array that can convert the Sun, Moon, and Star Radiance into Spiritual Energy.

Then, based on this, cultivate a Spirit Plant capable of surviving on the Bright Moon, which requires a considerable amount of time.

However, the current progress is promising. Although the Big Array is still nowhere to be found, the Spirit Plant development is showing some results.

He regularly communicated with the Dragon Women, and through them, he maintained emotional ties with the Moon God.

Sometimes, even without contacting the Moon God, he would chat a bit with the Dragon Women and occasionally send some items.

Couldn't let them work for nothing.

These were just minor matters, and Yu Ziqing personally had to attend to something else.

He inquired several people about the loss of inheritance and records.

The information from others didn't provide anything special.

No matter how much Song rummaged through the Classics, nothing particularly notable was found, as the records were simply too numerous and complex, not something that could be resolved in a year or two.

Yet, there was an unexpected finding from No.4, the street rogue.

Upon hearing Yu Ziqing mention a non-existent mountain in the deep sea, an elder from the Xia Family recalled something.

This time, Yu Ziqing went there to ask for advice in person.

Ever since Xia Yixing was tormented badly, he became much more honest, simply wanting to live and follow the path of a cultivator.

At present, his attitude has softened considerably, but he also plans that if things don't work out, he would rather die and then follow the path of the Xia Family.

Yu Ziqing asked around, even including the Feng and Yin Two Families, but found little valuable information, requiring a deep dive into the Classics.

Asking the Xia Family was purely because of their inherited skills in exploring various grottos and underground palaces, grave digging, and tomb raiding.

Some things lacking now might be excavated from an unknown place.

Yu Ziqing even suspected whether the Xia Family's cultivation, starting after death, was because once dead, there's no one left to kill them.

If I become a zombie first, I'm not afraid of encountering other strange things.

This approach also made it easier for them to explore.

Returning once more to the Xia Family's blessed land, before seeing anyone, a black cat suddenly leaped into Yu Ziqing's arms.

The black cat rubbed its face against Yu Ziqing repeatedly, its nose twitching as it widened its eyes and looked at Yu Ziqing with shock.

"The aura on you has become richer, with a pronounced scent of Moonlight."

"I accidentally awakened another Divine Skill, called Moonlight."

The black cat squinted happily, evidently having good instincts about people.

The black cat clung to Yu Ziqing's arm, refusing to let go, absorbing energy as if addicted.

Yu Ziqing stroked the black cat, swaying as he walked inside, the inverted Five Elements' force striking, yet Yu Ziqing remained unfazed, his mind adapting to the environment.

It had been years since he'd last seen Xia Shuang, whose aura had noticeably strengthened but hadn't reached the Ninth Tier.

"Xia Shuang meets Little Uncle Master."

Xia Shuang greeted earnestly, insisting on calling him Little Uncle Master stubbornly.

Yu Ziqing didn't bother correcting every time, "Call me whatever you like."

"Thank you for your efforts."

"This way, Little Uncle Master; my old man has already awakened."

Xia Shuang led the way ahead, arriving before a tomb and rapidly tapping the tombstone, almost like announcing a death, making Yu Ziqing's eyelid twitch.

If this was at his home, doing this in the middle of the night would surely get someone killed.

However, it was probably considered an auspicious and respectful manner here.

The tombstone automatically rose, revealing a staircase leading downwards, with Xia Shuang guiding them deep underground, which surprisingly held no eerie vibes, but rather a sense of warmth.

Exiting the staircase passage, a brightly lit underground palace awaited below. While lacking in vitality, everything appeared quite normal.

At the main entrance of the underground palace, an elderly man with white hair and a kind face was already waiting.

After approaching, Xia Shuang immediately introduced.

"This is my father, also my master."

"Greetings, Elder," Yu Ziqing politely greeted.

The elder chuckled warmly, grasping Yu Ziqing's arm as he led him inside.

"I am Xia Tian, call me Elder for what? You are the youngest disciple of my late master's apprentice, just call me Senior Brother."

"You don't visit often. If there's anything, just let Xia Shuang know."

"Xia Yixing wanders around all day, unwilling to die, unreliable in doing things."

Yu Ziqing was pulled along, Xia Tian's strength was immense, subtly testing Yu Ziqing's physique and power.

However, his technique was much more refined than Xia Shuang's, exerting a very gentle pull, seemingly ordinary.
