out a soft cry, then thought of more, his face turning even paler. "Shortly after that incident, another Yuan Ying ancestor began to retreat and has not appeared outside since. Could it be...""That wa...Even if one truly received favors, showing gratitude to the master of the cave by bowing once would be sufficient. At most, one could kowtow three times.

After all, the master of the cave dwelling is long dead. The so-called gift of thanks is nothing more than a thought to make things clear. Why waste time at this juncture doing the most cumbersome kowtow ceremony

Yu Kong's expression was solemn, and he bowed respectfully. Qin Sang and the others muttered in their hearts but dared not speak out, they could only patiently wait.

The last ritual was completed, but Yu Kong did not stand up. Instead, he lifted his head and looked at the clay sculpture.

His gaze fell on the left hand sculpted from clay, his eyes flashing with barely contained excitement and anticipation.

The molded left hand bore no fingerprints, lying simply on the lap, palm facing up, thumb tucked inward, and four fingers straight ahead pointing outside the main hall.

Just as Yu Kong finished his bow, the fingertips of the clay sculpture suddenly burst forth with a ray of rainbow.

A sudden change occurred, and no one expected that the seemingly ordinary clay sculpture would conceal a secret.

The great hall erupted in an uproar, the crowd buzzing with astonishment. Their eyes darted between the clay figurine and Yu Kong, their faces etched with disbelief.

After all, Qiumingfang had been visited by countless cultivators after its discovery. The Hall of Transmission had even been turned upside down, and the clay sculptures were certainly checked inside and out. They were simply ordinary statues.

Among them were cultivators at the Dan-forming stage.

Before the emptiness of Yu Kong, no one had ever discovered the secret of clay sculpture!

The rainbow burst forth, finally transforming into a rainbow bridge that spanned half the hall.

The Rainbow Bridge is shaped like an arch bridge, but only half of it. One end rests before Yu Kong, and the other end connects to the top of the clay hand, disappearing into the void.

Qin Sang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could this Rainbow Bridge be the 'secret passage' leading to the Medicine Garden

Unless you saw it with your own eyes, who could have imagined that the so-called secret passage was hidden in such an obvious place, and its opening mechanism was so peculiar.

The main hall was bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors. Yu Kong seemed to have expected this, and the moment the rainbow light appeared, he unleashed a surge of spiritual energy, blocking the door to prevent the light from leaking out and being seen by those outside.

"Haha..."

Yu Kong laughed heartily, looking up at the sky. "My friend wasn't lying! In today's world, morality has declined, and cultivators only know how to seek treasures, not gratitude. Otherwise, why would it be Yu Mou who discovered the secret of the clay sculpture until now"

When Yu saw them looking around, he smiled. The crowd came back to their senses and looked at each other. Yueya Xian asked sweetly, "Senior Yu, we've never heard of such a strange thing about clay sculpture before. Could it be that you were the first to discover it Does this Rainbow Bridge lead to the treasure trove of the cave owner"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Yugong retracted his smile, looking over with a half-smile, "No matter where it leads, wouldn't fellow Daoists like to take a look"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hot gleam appeared in everyone's eyes. Wuchen carefully said, "The secret lies ahead, and we naturally want to take a look. But this rainbow bridge was discovered by Daoist Yu first, so we must get his consent. We don't know what Daoist Yu requires, just give your orders, and we will surely follow your lead."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This secret rainbow bridge leads to an unknown destination, but it must be extraordinary. It's very likely that no one has ever set foot on it before, and there may even be treasures more valuable than those in the Lingbao Pavilion.

>

Even a single sip of soup can be heartwarming.

As long as Yu Kong doesn't want to hoard it all, any request can be accepted.

Yu Kong let out a hearty laugh. "Since I, Yu, have invited all of you esteemed fellow cultivators here, I wouldn't abandon you and hoard the treasure for myself. As for what lies across Rainbow Bridge, whether there be treasures or not, this old man knows nothing. Perhaps even more dangerous restrictions than Lingbao Pavilion exist...No one wishes to withdraw, do they"

This is a test.

At this point, who could resist temptation

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Moreover, now that the secret has been revealed, what would be the consequences of withdrawing

No one left. Yu Kong nodded in satisfaction, glanced outside the main hall, and urged, “It's getting late, there might be trouble brewing. This place isn't safe for long. Everyone, please go inside quickly.”

Yan Wu led the way, and everyone queued up to board the Rainbow Bridge. Yu Kong lagged behind.

Qin Sang walked over silently.

He didn't rush to crush the jade pendant. Although he was fairly certain that Rainbow Bridge was indeed the secret passage, he still felt it was best not to transmit messages prematurely without thoroughly understanding the situation on the other side of the bridge. Otherwise, they might accidentally make things worse.

From the jade pendant's appearance, we can see that something is amiss. The spiritual medicine is probably not as simple as it seems. There's no need to rush into things.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Moreover, Qin Sang couldn't see through Yu Kong's intentions.

If he truly wants to work together with everyone to find treasure and live in peace, that would be best.

In case it is true, as Sheng Yuanzi sarcastically put it, that Yu Kong only wants to find some scapegoats, Yun Youzi and Ge Yuan are indispensable backup plans. After all, since Shao Chunhui has already been killed, does Yu Kong still care about killing a few more people

Thinking these thoughts, the people in front of Qin Sang one by one disappeared at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, it was Qin Sang's turn.

Qin Sang took a deep breath, secretly on guard. Stepping out at the spot where Rainbow Bridge was cut off, he suddenly felt a dimness before his eyes. Under his feet, it wasn't emptiness but solid ground.

Everyone appeared in a cave. The light outside the entrance was dim, and mist shrouded everything. There were no dangers or restrictions inside the cave, so everyone's expressions eased slightly as they turned to look at Yu Kong, who had just walked in last.

Yu Kong reached out and stroked the rock wall, causing the Rainbow Bridge to vanish.

"The treasure is right in front of us, what are we waiting for"

Yu Kong said something, and walked ahead toward the outside of the cave.

Stepping out of the cave, Qin Sang saw with his own eyes the scene displayed in the jade pendant, finally confirming that this was the location of the medicine garden!

However, this place is much wider than Qin Sang imagined!

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Outside the cave was a vast plain, with scattered low mountains. There was nothing particularly remarkable about it, except for the mountain on the plain, which stood out the most. It was the very same mountain that appeared in the jade pendant.

The mountains were shrouded in mist, and the scent of medicinal herbs broke through the fog, captivating everyone's attention.

“Those… could they be spirit herbs planted by the cave master”

Wu Chen let out a surprised exclamation, his eyes blazing with intense heat. As for the others, they reacted similarly to Wu Chen.

However, some people could still remain calm. Old Mokujin coldly said: "Don't be too happy, everyone. In my opinion, the swirling mist on that mountain is probably not ordinary fog, but a powerful barrier. Whether we can obtain the herbs or not is still uncertain."

The old man's words poured cold water on the crowd, waking them up from their frenzy.

Yu Kong nodded slightly, looked at the old man Mu Teng, and said in a tone with a strange meaning, "Fellow Daoist Mu Teng is indeed a cunning old fox. No wonder Sheng Yuanzi entrusted you to come here and lurk beside Yu."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was startled and quickly distanced themselves from the old man named Mokujin.

Elder Mu Teng's face changed drastically. He forced himself to calm down and argued, "Since I entered the immortal path, I have been alone, never knowing anyone named Sheng Yuanzi. I don't know what Daoist Yu is talking about..."

Address:ains spread far and wide, surpassing their expectations. They arrived so quickly, like a divine army descending from heaven, catching them completely off guard.He stared intently at the figures outsid...
