It's just that the last spiritual stone was used up at yesterday's dinner, in order to deceive others into thinking that the two of them had eaten that food.
The remaining talismans have no spiritual energy and are like waste paper.
Thinking of this, Chu Youtian sighed softly and looked at the bone blade in Xu Chunniang's hand with great covetousness.
The two bone blades were polished so thin that they could almost break hair. They were rare weapons in this extraordinary land.
Chu Youtian walked in a hurry and only had time to grab the spear.
The spear was made of wood, only the tip was made of bone, and it looked like it had been there for some time.
He has a restless temper, and soon after leaving he started to find something to talk about.
"Fellow Daoist Yan's experience is still lacking. When a monk is traveling outside, especially in such a secret realm, it is best to carry some spiritual stones and other objects with him in case of emergencies."
Xu Chunniang did not refute, Chu Youtian's words made sense.
As a monk from a small sect, he can live a stable life to two hundred years old, so he certainly has his advantages.
"Since this is the third time for Fellow Daoist Chu to come to Tiandao Palace, he must be very familiar with this place. Have you ever entered this extraordinary place before?"
Chu Youtian shook his head, "Every assessment in Tiandao Palace is different. This is my first time entering this place. Logically speaking, the first level should be easy to pass. I don't know if there was an accident."
"Does Fellow Daoist Chu have a way to break the situation?"
Chu Youtian looked more serious. He got a lot of useful information from Xu Chunniang, and naturally he had many guesses.
"If I guess correctly, the witch god they worship is most likely their ancestor. The people in the village are the descendants of that witch god."
"Descendants of the Witch God."
Xu Chunniang repeated in a low voice, "It seems that the people in other villages should also be descendants of that witch god."
Chu Youtian nodded, "Yes, his descendants can develop into so many villages, which means that this witch god has existed for at least a thousand years."
Xu Chunniang felt heavy in her heart when she thought of the conversation she heard that night.
"They sacrificed the witch god even at the cost of the lives of their tribe, which shows that this witch god is very important to them."
"So after we follow the village chief and others into the ancestral land, we have to find a way to destroy the sacrifice."
Chu Youtian sighed softly, "But we don't have any spiritual energy. It's not easy to do anything under the nose of that witch god."
The two of them returned to silence and followed quietly behind the village chief and his party.
After following this for five days, after entering a valley, the village chief and his party suddenly quickened their pace.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. Ever since she entered this valley, she felt uncomfortable.
Chu Youtian obviously felt pain as well, and whispered, "Something is wrong here, I'm afraid it's not far from that ancestral land."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly pulled by Xu Chunniang and pulled into the tall bushes nearby.
But in front of them, the village chief and his party suddenly stopped, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, and even sent a few people to search nearby.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what's wrong?"
A little boy looked to both sides in confusion.
Seeing that nothing was found, the village chief looked away and smiled kindly.
"I seemed to have heard something just now, I hope I heard it wrong. Keep going, Lord Witch God doesn't like to be late."
Seeing the group of people disappear completely, Xu Chunniang opened her lips softly, "After entering this valley, their spiritual sense seems to have improved."
Originally, they were so far apart that those people couldn't detect the movements of the two of them.
But the village chief's actions just now seemed like he had discovered something.
Chu Youtian also realized this, and his face didn't look good. This was not good news.
As soon as the two of them were delayed, several people behind them had already followed.
Apart from the pair of evil cultivators, the other person was a middle-aged male cultivator.
"Why don't you two leave?"
You Siniang raised her eyebrows, and her eyes swept from Xu Chunniang's ordinary face to Chu Youtian.
Chu Youtian hesitated for a moment and expressed their guesses.
"So that's it."
The middle-aged male cultivator's complexion changed slightly.
Chu Youtian added, "But as long as you pay more attention and follow them from a distance, you won't be discovered."
The three groups tacitly set out on the road again, but as they walked deeper into the valley, the feeling of discomfort became stronger.
On the contrary, the village chief and his party walked faster and faster, walking as fast as flying. They tried their best to keep going, but they still lost track of them.
"It's really strange. These people took some strong medicine and why are they walking so fast?"
The middle-aged monk was panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely as he stared at the forked road in front of him.
"Ever since I entered this valley, I've always had a depressing feeling. Oh, I really don't want to go any further."
You Siniang didn't say anything. She had secretly sent Xiao Jin out. Xiao Jin was connected to her mind and could easily find the location of those people.
"What to do now, which way to go?"
Chu Youtian had a look of helplessness on his face and looked at Xu Chunniang, asking for her opinion.
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and intuitively chose the path on the right, "Let's go this way."
You Siniang's eyes flickered and she chose the path on the left, "Then I'll choose this one."
The five people parted ways at a fork in the road, and the middle-aged monk finally followed the evil cultivator and the man.
Xu Chunniang and Chu Youtian walked not far along the path on the left and discovered a natural cave with an ancient stone tablet standing at the entrance.
Chu Youtian got closer to the stone tablet and tried to identify the characters on the stone tablet, but the characters were so worn that only a few traces of different shades remained.
"There seems to be writing on this stone tablet, but it's so old that I can't see it clearly."
He hesitated for a moment and gently placed his hand on the stone tablet. Suddenly, a cold feeling came from the stone tablet and fell into his palm.
Chu Youtian felt so comfortable all over his body that he couldn't help but press his whole body against the stone tablet. The cold feeling became even stronger.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly.
"When I hold this stone tablet, the uncomfortable feeling disappears. This stone tablet is definitely a treasure."
Chu Youtian explained, wrapping his hands around the stone tablet, trying to pull it out.
However, he still suppressed his blush, but the stone tablet remained motionless.
Xu Chunniang's eyes twitched slightly, she stepped forward and placed her palms on the stone tablet.
A cold feeling came from the palm of her hand, dispelling the slight restlessness that had arisen in her heart since entering this valley.
Chu Youtian was right, this stone tablet was indeed extraordinary.
She took back her hand, and the cold feeling lingered around her body and never dissipated for a long time.
Chu Youtian kept changing his posture, trying to pull out the stone tablet. Even though he was very tired, he refused to give up.
He risked his life to enter the Tiandao Palace just for the treasures and cultivation resources.
Now that we have encountered it, how can we miss it?
