139: Yu Family Private Cellar_2 139: Yu Family Private Cellar_2 Shen Long asked.

“My grandfather is out on business.

He said he was going to verify some important information, but he didn’t give me any details.

He told me to keep in touch with you as his representative.”

Liu Yuruo explained.

“Notify me immediately if he returns.”

Shen Long instructed.

“Yes, Senior Yu.”

Liu Yuruo agreed.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate, walked into a secret room, and took out two Storage Bags.

With a flick of the wrist, a large pile of items appeared on the ground as two streams of aurora light swept past following the downward shake of the bags.

Nine Magic Artifacts, three of superior quality—one for defense, one for attack, and one Concealment Spirit Cloak in the middle; more than ten thousand Spirit Stones, along with numerous other miscellaneous items.

Shen Long carefully sorted through everything, checking the contents of all the Jade Slips one by one, but found no valuable information.

The Xuanyang Sect and Spirit Control Sect had both sent people into Zhao Country to gather information.

It certainly wasn’t as simple as just monitoring the Cultivation Realm of Zhao Country.

Shen Long also had no idea what the higher-ups’ real objectives were.

With a flick of his sleeves, more than thirty thousand Gold Ants flew out, forming into a giant cloud of gold.

After vigorous nurturing by Shen Long, the number of Gold Ants had exceeded thirty thousand, including over sixty second-tier Gold Ants.

When assembled into weapon form, their power had significantly increased.

Correspondingly, sustaining the Gold Ants had become a major burden for Shen Long, but fortunately, it was still within his means to handle.

Shen Long took out a pile of Artifact Refining materials for them to gnaw on.

He entered the Spirit Control Tower to feed the Fire Rock Beast and Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

The Spiritual Medicines he had planted over ten years ago were now blooming, though the fruit trees had not yet borne fruit.

These Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits could be exchanged for Spirit Stones, which he could use to purchase Cultivation Resources to feed the Gold Ants.

What Shen Long was concerned about was the issue of Divine Sense.

As the number of Gold Ants increased, the Divine Sense expenditure to command the Gold Ants in battle grew larger.

Shen Long had to eliminate his enemies quickly, otherwise his Divine Sense wouldn’t hold up.

He was already struggling to control over thirty thousand Gold Ants, and as their numbers grew, it would become even more strenuous.

He had to find a way to increase his Divine Sense soon.

Shen Long exited the Spirit Control Tower to find the ants had finished eating the ore.

He gathered them back into the Spirit Beast bag and walked out.

At the Azure Stone Plaza, he found an empty spot, laid down a coarse cloth, and took out more than twenty porcelain bottles filled with second-tier Elixirs.

Shen Long took out a book on Plant Cultivation and began reading.

He set up his stall at the plaza every once in a while, offering goods at fair prices, attracting many repeat customers.

The more than twenty bottles of second-tier Elixirs were sold out in less than two hours.

Shen Long took out a green wooden plaque, on which were written the words “Seeking items that increase Divine Sense” in eight big characters.

Half a day passed without anyone stopping at Shen Long’s stall.

With the sky growing darker, every stall owner brought out their own lighting tools, and Shen Long was no exception.

“Taoist Friend Shen!

You’re finally back.”

A familiar female voice rang out.

Shen Long looked up to see Yu Susu standing in front of his stall with a smile.

“Fairy Yu, are you looking for me?”

Shen Long asked casually.

Yu Susu nodded and said, “This is not the place to talk.

How about we discuss the details at my residence?”

Shen Long agreed, packed up his stall, and followed Yu Susu to her residence.

“Taoist Friend Shen, have you heard that the Hundred Ghosts Sect is hunting for the remnants of the Yu Family?”

Yu Susu asked, her expression grave.

“I’ve heard, but this is the Profound Yin Marketplace.

The relationship between the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect is not very good.

Without Fairy Yu mentioning it, no one would know our identities.”

Shen Long replied.

“Aren’t you curious to know why the Hundred Ghosts Sect is suddenly hunting down the remnants of the Yu Family?”

Yu Susu asked.

“Why?

Does it have something to do with Fairy Yu?”

Shen Long asked in confusion.

“No, it’s not that.

It has nothing to do with me, strictly speaking.

It’s related to our ancestors.

The Maniac Blade Ascendant destroyed our Yu Family for that treasure.

However, our ancestors had the foresight to hide it.

The Hundred Ghosts Sect is simply after that treasure.”

Yu Susu spoke slowly.

“A treasure?

What kind of treasure is so important that even the Maniac Blade Ascendant couldn’t find it?”

Shen Long asked in puzzlement.

“I don’t know what it is exactly, only that it’s very precious and seems to be related to the Burial Immortal Tomb.

I suspect those who knew about it were killed, or maybe they managed to escape.

I can’t break the seal, so I want to invite you to join me in breaking it.”

Yu Susu said.

“You’re inviting me to break the seal?

Just the two of us?”

Shen Long asked.

“Of course not, there are also three other Cultivators—Chen Hao, Bai Bing, and Qin Yan.

You know them.

It’s not that I don’t trust you, but treasures tempt people, and I need to be cautious.”

Yu Susu said.

“You’ve known the location of the treasure all along?

You just can’t break the seal yourself?”

Shen Long asked.

“That’s right.

Initially, I was planning on teaming up with Taoist Friend Ye and others, but unfortunately, they died at the hands of Evil Cultivators.

The strength of Chen Hao and the others isn’t weak.

If the seal can be broken, the treasure is yours, and I only want a portion of the goods.”

Yu Susu sounded sincere.

If it weren’t for the Hundred Ghosts Sect suddenly hunting down the remnants of the Yu Family with such vigor, Yu Susu would not have thought of joining forces with outsiders.

According to her plan, she intended to break the seal and retrieve the treasure after she reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

But unexpectedly, the Hundred Ghosts Sect began their intense search suddenly.

Before that, the Hundred Ghosts Sect had taken down the information network of the Spirit Control Sect, and their capability was well known.

Shen Long knew of Yu Susu’s identity, and if he was captured, it could involve Yu Susu.

After much consideration, Yu Susu decided to break the seal prematurely.

She couldn’t defeat Shen Long, so she specifically invited three Foundation Establishment Cultivators to go with her.

This would ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

“You didn’t tell them you’re a descendant of the Yu Family, did you?”

Shen Long said with a frown.

“I didn’t.

I simply told them it was an ancient Cultivator’s cave dwelling.

They’ve agreed to go.

What do you say?”
