NOVPUB"An ancient abyss site?!"
Upon hearing the hunchbacked old man's words, Qinchuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stopped in his tracks.
Originally, he had buried that sword in an abyss outside the Immortal Burial Site!
And now, the hunchbacked old man was saying that he had excavated the sword from an ancient abyss site!
This matter was fraught with oddities.
"Which ancient abyss site? Where is it?"
Qinchuan asked in a deep voice.
Regarding the Immortal Burial Site, there were too many mysteries.
Anything related to it, or that might be related, he would pay special attention to.
The broken sword, once interred by him outside of the Immortal Burial Site in the Devouring Abyss, had now mysteriously made its way here, and the place where the other party had excavated this sword was also an abyss, an ancient abyss site!
"It's thirty thousand li west of Dongling County, beneath the cliffs outside Mingjue Mountain. A few years ago, a deep fissure suddenly appeared there, revealing an abyss with many ancient objects emerging, attracting quite a few people,"
"However, if you're thinking about exploring there, I advise you to give up that idea. It's not a benevolent place. Many people went there to explore back in the day and many died."
"Even I did not dare to delve deeply, or I fear I would not have come out whole."
The hunchbacked old man was very wary of that place. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Qinchuan glanced at the hunchbacked old man: "Is that so? Even with your Saint Realm Cultivation Level, you dared not delve deep. It seems that the place is indeed unusual."
As Qinchuan's words fell, the hunchbacked old man immediately froze in place, and at the same time, a blazing gaze fell upon Qinchuan, full of astonishment.
"How did you see through it?"
The hunchbacked old man stared at Qinchuan with a wary expression and asked in a deep voice.
He was referring to his cultivation level within the Saint Realm.
He had carefully concealed his cultivation level, living in seclusion in Tianqing City for many years, and no one had ever seen through him.
Yet, Qinchuan had now identified his Cultivation Realm at a glance.
To the hunchbacked old man, Qinchuan was nothing more than a low-rank martial artist at the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.
A mere low-rank martial artist at the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm could actually see through his hidden Saint Realm cultivation level at a glance. This was truly inconceivable and terrifying to hear.
"What? He is a mighty figure in the Saint Realm?!"
Zhou Xi, who was following behind Qinchuan, was immediately startled, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, evidently having no inkling that the hunchbacked old man was a mighty figure in the Saint Realm.
Not just Zhou Xi.
Ye Xuanji too was taken aback, turning to look at the hunchbacked old man with a spark of sharpness in his eyes, becoming silently vigilant.
A mighty figure in the Saint Realm, concealing his cultivation level so deeply that even he had not sensed it - this was definitely no ordinary person.
"No need to be nervous."
Qinchuan waved his hand, signaling Ye Xuanji not to be so vigilant.
He glanced at the hunchbacked old man and said indifferently, "It's no big deal to discern your Cultivation Realm. Your Breath Concealment Technique may be somewhat clever, but to me, that's all there is to it."
The hunchbacked old man looked intently at Qinchuan, his eyes flickering, and he felt a certain wariness towards the young man before him.
From the way Qinchuan had seen through his cultivation level with one glance, and how Qinchuan appeared completely indifferent to it, not taking it to heart at all, the hunchbacked old man sensed that this young man was not ordinary.
"Who exactly are you?"
The hunchbacked old man asked.
"Who I am is not important, you just need to know that I can translate the Ancient Named Techniques and Great Secrets in your hands for you."
"As for the rest, you don't need to know, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to get entangled with some unnecessary karma, especially karma that you can't handle."
Qinchuan said lightly.
The hunchbacked old man's expression changed at the words, and his gaze flickered as if he weighed something. Finally, he cracked a smile and said, "Alright, you're right. Ours is but a transaction. Who you are indeed doesn't matter."
"However, to be honest, I am now somewhat uneasy about having you help me translate the Immortal Ancient Script."
Qinchuan's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "You may choose not to have me translate, yet you must fulfill what you promised me."
"Wouldn't I be at too great a loss then?"
spoke the hunchbacked old man with a sullen face.
Qinchuan cast him a nonchalant glance, "That's your problem."
"That won't do. I, the little old one, have traveled far and wide, never engaging in such an unprofitable deal."
The hunchbacked old man gritted his teeth and continued leading Qinchuan and the others forward.
Before long, they arrived at the hunchbacked old man's abode.
This was a relatively desolate area in Tianqing City, lacking the hustle and bustle of other places, and somewhat deserted.
A simple courtyard, a house that looked somewhat dilapidated, yet upon pushing the door open, there was an entirely different world.
As they stepped through the door, everyone felt as if they had passed through a gentle curtain of water, and then the view before them suddenly brightened.
What met their eyes was not the four walls of a house, but a picturesque world.
All around was verdant greenery, with small mountain ranges stretching endlessly, encircling a valley.
Inside the valley, birds chirped and flowers fragranced, with spiritual medicine wafting a pleasant scent that refreshed the soul.
Thick spiritual energy lingered everywhere.
"That is... Panlong Fruit?!"
Zhou Xi couldn't help exclaiming upon seeing a spiritual tree planted in the medicinal field, on which was hanging an orange spirit fruit, shaped like a lantern with an immortal's face, emitting an enticing fragrance. It was a supreme spirit fruit, extremely rare and precious.
Then, as her gaze wandered, she saw one spiritual medicine and heavenly treasure after another, some so rare that one wouldn't even recognize them, causing shock.
The hunchbacked old man's collection was indeed abundant.
Many of these Heavenly Treasures and Materials were worth a fortune, and if word spread, it could trigger bloody fights among many.
Even Ye Xuanji couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Qinchuan was also somewhat surprised. For a saint-level martial artist to gather so many of these world-rare Heavenly Treasures and Materials was indeed astonishing.
However, Qinchuan didn't pay too much attention to it.
In the eyes of others, these Heavenly Treasures and Materials may indeed be precious and extraordinary, yet to him, with his perspective, they weren't quite as dazzling.
The hunchbacked old man also revealed a smug look and said, "These Heavenly Treasures and Materials are what I have collected over the years, visiting various places. They are the culmination of my thousands of years of effort. How is it, quite something, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Qinchuan simply smiled faintly, saying nothing.
The other party was showing off in front of him, but he had picked the wrong person.
Simply in the Myriad Spirit Garden before, he had gathered numerous supreme medicines that were tens or even hundreds of thousands of years old.
Not to mention the boundless treasures he once possessed.
However, when he carefully scanned through the medicinal herbs planted in the fields, Qinchuan revealed a look of surprise: "The Heaven and Earth Red Wood, the Silkworm God Crystal Fruit, Panlong Fruit, Hell Flower, Heaven Transforming Grass..."
Qinchuan recited the names one by one, including those that Zhou Xi and Ye Xuanji couldn't recognize. Now, Qinchuan listed them like treasures in his possession.
Upon hearing Qinchuan naming those world-rare, ultra-rare medicinal treasures, the hunchbacked old man was also taken aback, "You actually recognize the Hell Flower and Heaven and Earth Red Wood, these kinds of spiritual medicines and treasures?"
Qinchuan did not respond to him and, after a slight pause, he slowly said, "One hundred and eight main ingredients for the Emperor's Essence Pill, and you've managed to gather ninety-nine of them. It seems you have grand ambitions."
"...!!"
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the hunchbacked old man's eyes lit up intensely, and his fiery gaze abruptly fell on Qinchuan, while the cultivation aura he had been suppressing unintentionally leaked out, exploding with an astonishing pressure. Enjoy more content from freewebnovel.com
"You actually know about the Emperor's Essence Pill!"
The hunchbacked old man looked at Qinchuan in shock, this sixteen-year-old youth had given him too many surprises, and even made him feel an inexplicable wariness!
