Shimen Mountain to the west.

The place far away from the scenic spot is inaccessible, so the trees are extremely dense.

Mu Zhijian led Lin Hao all the way to the top of the cliff, followed by Mu Qiong and Mu Yao carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.

As for Ximen Qingqing, he left alone after lunch. Before leaving, he left a red envelope for Mu Zhijian, saying he wanted to thank him for his hospitality over the past two days.

After Mu Zhijian opened the red envelope, he saw a thick stack of banknotes inside. He didn't accept it at first, but Ximen Qingqing dropped the red envelope and ran away.

Ximen Qingqing also told Lin Hao that if he goes to Tianhai in the future, he must go to Ximen's house to find him.

Standing on the cliff and seeing the steep cliff at his feet, Lin Hao finally understood why Mu Zhijian said he couldn't collect that elixir.

This cliff is at least more than 100 meters high and very steep. The mountain wind is extremely strong. Even if you have climbing tools, you still need a lot of experience to go down.

Mu Zhijian pointed to a raised stone on the cliff and said, "The elixir I saw last time is at that location."

Then he looked up at an eagle hovering in the sky and frowned tightly.

"Every time I get close to the elixir, this guy will attack. Once I almost broke the rope and fell off the cliff."

Lin Hao discovered that this place was not far from the Qingyun Sect's headquarters. It was no wonder that when they were collecting medicine yesterday, they were discovered by Qingyun Sect's disciples.

He glanced up at the sky and said calmly: "It's okay, I'll go down and take a look first."

Mu Qiong took out a bundle of rope from her backpack, found a thicker tree trunk, tied one end of the rope to it, and handed the other end to Lin Hao.

"What is this doing?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.

Mu Qiong said coquettishly: "Tie a safety rope so that my brother won't fall."

"I don't need to tie this thing."

After Lin Hao finished speaking, he took out two short-handled pickaxes from Mu Yao's backpack. These were the hoes Mu Zhijian usually used to collect herbs. The handles were only over a foot long.

Mu Zhijian said in surprise: "Benefactor, don't you need to tie your body with a rope and just climb down like this?"

"Um."

Lin Hao nodded and jumped down before anyone could react.

The whistling wind blew past his ears, and Lin Hao's figure dropped rapidly until he saw the raised stone not far away. He suddenly smashed the pickaxe in his hand against the cliff.

The pickaxe was inserted into the stone wall. Lin Hao's body suddenly froze and hung in the air. He held the handle tightly while smashing the other pickaxe into the stone wall with his left hand.

Just like this, alternating hands, Lin Hao could move freely on the cliff with his feet hanging in the air, slowly approaching the location of the elixir pointed by Mu Zhijian.

He didn't have any protective measures on his body. If he was not careful, he would be thrown to pieces.

"Brother, you must be careful!"

"You must not let anything happen to you, brother!"

Above the cliff, Mu Qiong and Mu Yao watched with horror. They were very worried about Lin Hao, but they did not dare to shout too loudly because they were afraid that Lin Hao would be distracted by them.

Lin Hao was getting closer and closer to the protruding stone on the cliff. When he saw the green herb on the stone, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

This medicinal herb looks unremarkable from the outside, just like a wild grass that can be seen everywhere, growing in the cracks of rocks.

If someone like Lin Hao hadn't been familiar with the magical medicine dictionary, or if someone like Mu Zhijian had happened to see it in a professional herbal directory, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a magical medicine.

The pickaxe in Lin Hao's right hand changed its position again. Just when he was about to use his strength to swing over, a harsh scream suddenly came from the air, which was astonishing.

A black shadow spread its wings and swooped down, attacking Lin Hao with a violent momentum.

When the Mu family father and daughter standing on the cliff saw this scene, they almost exclaimed at the same time.

"Benefactor, beware!"

"Brother, it's dangerous! It's that eagle..."

However, Lin Hao's expression was not confused at all, because he had expected this scene.

I saw his left palm raised slightly, and a ray of true energy shot out from his palm. It seemed invisible, but it was like a sharp sword, stabbing the swooping eagle.

The eagle seemed to be suddenly bounced away, dozens of feathers were blown away, and with a mournful cry, the eagle fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing Lin Hao easily averting the danger, the two sisters Mu Qiong and Mu Yao jumped up with excitement.

Mu Zhijian laughed heartily. This was the first time he saw Lin Hao take action. He thought that he was indeed as powerful as his daughter said. He could injure enemies in the air with just his energy. He was indeed a master of martial arts.

Although Mu Zhijian is just a herb collector who does not understand martial arts, he has dealt with many martial artists, so he has some understanding of martial arts.

Lin Hao stood on the big rock protruding from the cliff and picked the elixir.

The green leaves reflected the sunlight and exuded a faint fragrance, which was of a higher grade than the blood lingzhi obtained from the Wei family before.

This kind of elixir does not need to undergo any refining or processing at all. Taking it directly can greatly help improve your cultivation.

Lin Hao put the elixir into his pocket and looked sideways at a cave nearby.

You can't find it from the top of the cliff or from the bottom of the mountain. Only by standing on this raised boulder can you see the cave in the middle of the cliff.

The diameter of the cave is almost two meters wide, which is enough for people to pass through. You can faintly feel a cool air coming out of the cave.

What struck Lin Hao most strangely was that there were traces of someone's presence at the entrance of the cave. In addition to broken tree branches, footprints could be vaguely seen in the sand.

But this place is located in the middle of a steep cliff. Whether you come down from the top or come up from the bottom, it takes a lot of effort and thought.

If you are not a warrior who has practiced special movements, you will need professional equipment and protective measures to reach this place.

The most troublesome thing is the eagle that can attack humans at any time. Ordinary people simply cannot deal with it.

But judging from the traces at the entrance of the cave, not only did people come to this place, but people came here often, and the only place to go here is the depth of the cave in front of you.

Lin Hao took his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and slowly walked in, wanting to see what was inside.

After walking a few steps, I heard a low cough coming from inside. This sound was very abnormal. It sounded like the person coughing was quite weak.

After walking about ten meters, Lin Hao saw an iron gate with a large, ancient and heavy lock hanging on it.

The scene in front of him was so familiar, reminding Lin Hao of the cave in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect that he had visited last night.

Driven by the boldness of an expert and strong curiosity, Lin Hao struck down the big lock with one palm, while also carefully observing the movement inside the iron door.

Bang!

The iron lock and the chain hanging on it broke with a sound, and when they fell to the ground, the rusty iron door slowly opened.
Chapter completed!
