Living in Yellow Maple Valley, I steadily cultivate immortality with a daily divination!

Chapter 98 The Promise! Exploring the Ancient Cultivator's Cave!

"Junior Brother Han, you should be able to guess what that thing over there is."

After Lin Chuan put away Lü Tianmeng and Han Wushuang's belongings, his gaze turned to the ancient and mysterious hexagonal stone array deep in the cave.

His tone was calm and resolute.

Han Li followed his gaze.

Looking at the teleportation array covered in the dust of time and mysterious runes, and the crystalline skeleton floating beside it, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly nodded:

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, this should be an... ancient teleportation array. I just don't know where it leads, or if it's still usable."

"An ancient teleportation array of this level is very likely to lead to a cultivation world that is completely different from Tiannan."

Lin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, his voice not loud, but exceptionally clear in the silent cave.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly. Another cultivation world?

His mind raced. If what Senior Brother Lin said was true, the value of this teleportation array would be immeasurable—it was an opportunity that countless cultivators in Tiannan dreamed of but could never obtain.

However, he remained composed, simply waiting quietly for Lin Chuan to continue.

"However, as you can see, this array is damaged. Many of the array patterns are blurred, and some key spiritual energy nodes have also been destroyed." Lin Chuan approached the teleportation array, his gaze sweeping over the broken and worn runes. "We need a master of arrays to restore the complete array diagram so that we can collect materials based on the rubbing and repair the missing parts."

As he spoke, he had already walked up to the floating skeleton. Five-colored spiritual light illuminated his face, which remained calm and undisturbed.

He reached out and put the blue, rune-covered token, along with the complete skeleton, into his storage bag.

The movements were swift and decisive, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

This token is a valuable item. Ancient cultivators used this Great Teleportation Token to resist the spatial pressure generated by long-distance teleportation.

Without this, even a Core Formation cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand the spatial pressure.

Han Li watched as Lin Chuan took away those things without making any move to stop him, not even frowning.

Although he didn't know exactly what the blue token was, judging from the aura it emitted and the way the skeleton's owner held it solemnly, it was definitely not an ordinary object.

It must be a key item related to the teleportation array.

However, he did not contribute much to this battle, and it was Lin Chuan who led the charge. It is reasonable for the spoils to belong to Lin Chuan.

He had no desire to compete, nor did he believe he had the ability to compete.

Lin Chuan put away his things, turned around, looked at Han Li, and said seriously, "Junior Brother Han, how about we each make a copy of this incomplete teleportation array diagram? If you can restore the complete diagram, I will reward you handsomely."

He paused, his voice calm yet tinged with seriousness: "However, I hope you, junior brother, can keep this a secret and not spread it. If the secret of this teleportation array is leaked, not only will we be in great trouble, but it may also implicate the array master who helped us."

Lin Chuan's words contained no threat; in fact, they could be described as quite frank.

Han Li sensed this sincerity.

Lin Chuan did not use force to coerce him into handing over the rubbings or keeping the secret, but instead made an equal request for cooperation, even promising a generous reward.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Lin. I, Han Li, will not reveal a single word about the location of the teleportation array here, nor about what I saw and heard today, to any third party. As for the repair of the array diagram, I will do my best."

"it is good."

Lin Chuan nodded and said no more.

The two immediately took out blank jade slips and meticulously copied down every pattern and rune node remaining on the teleportation array.

This was a meticulous and tedious task that took a full half hour.

Lin Chuan made extremely careful rubbings.

Although he was not a genius in array formations, he had learned some common sense from the array formation inheritance jade slip he had obtained back then. He knew that the more ancient the array formation, the more crucial the details were, and that even a single mistake could lead to the failure of all previous efforts.

After making the rubbing, Lin Chuan put the jade slip into his pocket.

He took out two spirit beast pouches from his waist—one containing the Bloodline Dragon, which was still slowly recovering, and the other was empty.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Living in Huangfeng Valley, a Daily Divination for Steady Immortality!"

With a slight thought, the Blood Jade Spider, which had just been subdued by the Spirit Seal and was now lying docilely to the side, transformed into a white light and was put into the Void Beast Bag.

He carefully hung both spirit beast pouches inside his outer robe, near his heart, keeping them close to his body.

"Junior Brother Han, I will return here again in a year and a half."

Lin Chuan straightened his robes and looked at Han Li, "At that time, regardless of whether Junior Brother has repaired the array diagram or not, I will come to keep my appointment."

"A year and a half..." Han Li silently noted it down.

The two said no more and parted ways.

Han Li followed the mine tunnel he had come from and headed in another direction.

Lin Chuan chose another fork in the road.

However, before leaving, he destroyed several mine tunnels in the vicinity with his sword to prevent others from coming here.

After leaving the spirit stone mining area, Lin Chuan did not plan to return to Huangfeng Valley immediately.

It seems to record the location of a hidden ancient cultivator's cave.

Originally, after he went to the Divine Weapon Sect of Yuanwu Kingdom to forge magical artifacts, he also planned to explore the places marked on the treasure map.

However, after accidentally encountering and enslaving the Bloodline Flood Dragon, he left the territory of Yuanwu Kingdom early because he was worried about being discovered by the Tianxing Sect.

Now that he has decided to leave Yue Kingdom and head to the Chaotic Star Sea via the teleportation array in a year and a half, he naturally cannot let go of this "known opportunity" that is right in front of him.

Next, Lin Chuan changed direction and headed southwest—within the territory of Yuanwu Kingdom.

However, the Yue Kingdom is now shrouded in the clouds of war.

Although the demonic invasion has been temporarily repelled, the seven factions of Yue Kingdom are conscripting all Foundation Establishment cultivators within their territory on a large scale in preparation for the possibility of renewed warfare.

Whether they are disciples of the seven sects or independent cultivators, if they are encountered by patrol teams in the wild, they will most likely be "temporarily conscripted" and sent to the front line or various key locations to guard.

Lin Chuan didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

His destination was the Panlong River basin within the territory of the Yuanwu Kingdom, not to be conscripted.

Therefore, he was extremely cautious throughout the journey.

Although the Graywing Boat was fast, it was too conspicuous, so he simply put it away and used a more ordinary flying artifact that was slower but had a more restrained aura.

At the same time, he simultaneously operated the "Hidden Spirit Technique" and the "Hidden Spirit Veil," suppressing his aura to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and even occasionally reducing it to a level close to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

His spiritual sense far surpasses that of his peers, often allowing him to detect the presence of cultivators several miles ahead.

When he encountered patrol teams from the seven factions, he would detour around them; when he encountered scattered cultivators, he would try to avoid their sight. By hiding during the day and traveling at night, taking detours and sneaking around, the journey that should have taken only seven or eight days was stretched to more than twenty days.

More than twenty days later, the wide and mighty Panlong River finally reappeared in Linchuan's view.

The river still flows swiftly, and the mountains and forests on both banks remain lush and verdant.

Standing on a large rock on the riverbank, smoothed and rounded by the river, Lin Chuan took out a dark yellow, worn, and supple animal hide scroll from his storage bag and unfolded it alongside another jade slip that recorded the detailed geography of the Yuanwu Kingdom.

This is the treasure map he obtained from the Xiao family in the capital of Yue back then.

He had long since memorized the demonic runes and terrain patterns on the animal hide. Now, as he carefully compared them with the geographical map of Yuanwu Kingdom, the previously blurry landmarks gradually became clear.

His gaze swept back and forth between the map and the geographical jade slip, his fingertips slowly moving along the winding course of the Panlong River, finally stopping at a mark on the north bank of the river, about thirty miles from the river surface.

"Wu Shanshan..."

Lin Chuan's gaze sharpened, and he said in a low voice.

On the map, the marker for the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling perfectly matches the Wushan Mountain in the Panlong River basin of the Yuanwu Kingdom—whether it's the mountain's orientation, the distribution of the surrounding water system, or even the outlines of several inconspicuous hills nearby, they all strikingly match the blurry yet persistent lines on the animal skin.

"This is it."

Lin Chuan put away the map jade slip, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He summoned the Gray-Winged Boat again, transforming it into a hazy gray streak of light, skimming along the surface of the Panlong River, and silently heading towards Wushan Mountain.
