I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 415: Ancient Elder?

At this moment, no one said anything more. Led by the person on Cangshan, they flew towards the northwest. After flying for about an hour, they arrived at a small valley. The valley was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see how far it extended. Even divine consciousness was limited.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the location indicated by the jade token. As for the exact position, the token can no longer sense it. However, judging from the dense fog here, it should be where the elder is," said the person on Cangshan, putting away the jade token. However, his expression was not good. Facing a valley enveloped in thick fog was much more dangerous than an ordinary mountain.

For some reason, the person on Cangshan glanced at Lin Qing, who understood his meaning but did not show any reaction. Although he had formed an alliance with the person on Cangshan, in this situation, any slight reaction would be noticed by the Blood Friend and the couple Xie Xiang. That would not be good.

Fortunately, the person on Cangshan also realized this. After glancing at Lin Qing, he looked at the other three, seemingly seeking their opinions.

At this moment, Xiaoyaozi spoke up, "Since Fellow Daoist Cangshan said so, this should be the place. It is a bit unusual, but now that we are here, there is no turning back. Although we didn't know each other before, we must cooperate now. I have a treasure that can dispel the fog. I will take care of it while the rest of you stay on guard."

Upon hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, Lin Qing glanced at him, but before he could say anything, the Blood Friend smiled and said, "Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiaoyaozi has a treasure to dispel the fog. That's the best. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, we will be on guard."

Xiaoyaozi smiled at the Blood Friend and then turned around, holding up a translucent green jade bottle. He cast a spell towards the bottle, causing it to float in the air with its mouth facing forward. Then, a violent hurricane burst out of the bottle.

Lin Qing and the others were already prepared and stood behind Xiaoyaozi. The fog in the valley surged and churned as the hurricane blew, gradually thinning out. In less than fifteen minutes, the fog in the entire valley was completely blown away, and their suppressed divine consciousness returned to normal.

"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyaozi, this treasure is truly amazing," the person on Cangshan exclaimed.

Xiaoyaozi nodded, put away the jade bottle, and said that he didn't want to attract attention, but the cultivation technique he and his wife practiced was particularly averse to fog and other obstructing terrains. That's why he brought out this specially crafted dispersing bottle. This treasure could not only disperse fog but also dispel hail and rain.

After dispersing the fog, they looked ahead and saw a narrow valley. The most conspicuous thing in the valley was a huge cave, pitch black and unknown where it led to.

"Let's go. It seems to be in that cave," Xiaoyaozi said, not putting away the jade bottle. He also took out a shield-shaped treasure, while his wife took out an umbrella-shaped treasure. It was evident that both of them had brought out defensive treasures.

Lin Qing and the others also took out their respective treasures. Lin Qing still used the Thousand Shield, but he had already put on the Diamond Bracelet on his wrist.

In front of the person on Cangshan was a small red sword that kept circling around him, looking extraordinary. The Blood Friend was still wearing the black robe, but his whole body was now shrouded in black mist.

With the person on Cangshan leading the way, Lin Qing and the others slowly entered the cave.

The moment they entered the cave, it was pitch black. However, the prepared Cangshan monk struck the moonstone in his hand against the rock wall, instantly illuminating the cave with a faint white light.

As Lin Qing and the others proceeded deeper into the cave, they became more cautious. But to their surprise, the cave turned out to be just an ordinary one, with nothing special about it. They had only walked less than thirty zhang before reaching a dead end.

At the end, to their delight, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the cave.

"Is this the elder from the Duobao Trading Company?" The Cangshan monk's face lit up. He had thought there would be some twists and turns, but it turned out to be so simple.

Not only him, but Lin Qing and the others were also somewhat surprised. It seemed to be not difficult at all.

"Be careful, something is not right with him," suddenly said the Blood Friend. From his tone, it seemed that he was somewhat afraid.

"Blood Friend Fellow Daoist, have you discovered something?" the Cangshan monk hurriedly asked.

The Blood Friend stared at the motionless Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him, took a few steps back, and then said, "You should have noticed it too. I cultivate demonic techniques. You may not be able to sense it, but I can. When we dispersed the mist just now, there was a faint demonic aura in this valley. Now that we are here, I have already found the source of this demonic aura. It is this supposed elder from the Duobao Trading Company. The intensity of the demonic aura on him is more than ten times stronger than mine."

"Demonic aura?"

The Cangshan monk was shocked. Unlike Lin Qing, he was invited by the Duobao Trading Company because he had a good relationship with one of their cultivators.

He also knew some things about the Duobao Trading Company. Although it was a commercial force, it belonged to the righteous path. There were no elders in the trading company who practiced demonic techniques. Although the demonic forces in Zhongzhou were not small, most of them established their own sects on the other side of Zhongzhou. There were not many demonic cultivators in places like Yuyang County, Zishan County, and Gu Chuan County.

"Could it be that this elder secretly cultivated demonic techniques and ended up losing control? In order not to be discovered by the people from the Duobao Trading Company, he deliberately hid from them," speculated Xiaoyaozi.

After he finished speaking, the others did not respond, because at this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator had opened his eyes and was staring at the five unexpected guests in front of him.

Seeing this, the Cangshan monk immediately took out the jade token.

"Elder, are you the ancient elder of the Duobao Trading Company? We were invited by the Duobao Trading Company and came specifically to find you. This is your jade token, as well as our proof for this trip."

After the Cangshan monk finished speaking, he stared intently at the Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator slowly spoke, "Yes, I am indeed the ancient elder."

Upon hearing this, the Cangshan monk felt a sense of joy. It seemed that they had found the right person. The mission of this trip was almost complete. All that was left was to ask this elder why he was unwilling to leave, and the mission would be considered accomplished.

"You've worked hard. I can't leave for some reason this time. Please bring the jade token over first," the ancient elder said kindly to the Cangshan monk.
