Chapter 98

Earth Travel Talisman, Yang Family Secret Land

Yang Qingqi then led Li Yunfan to the guest room of the Yang family. Although Yang Qinghan did not receive instructions from her father, she also left with her sister.

After Li Yunfan's figure completely disappeared, Yang Jingshen raised his hand and released a soundproof barrier before speaking to the other three.

"This man is named Li Yunfan. He came from the Xuanwu Kingdom and is unaware of the situation in the Yang family's secret territory."

Upon hearing Yang Jingshen's words, the worry in Yang Jinglong and Yang Jingchen's hearts completely dissipated. Yang Taizhong also nodded and then inquired about the other party's injuries and whether the fire poison in his body had been completely cleared.

"Father, rest assured, the fire poison in my body has been completely eliminated. Although my cultivation has regressed somewhat due to the long-term suppression, I have also benefited greatly from this misfortune. I can clearly feel that I now have an 80% chance of successfully breaking through to the mid-stage!"

After Yang Jingshen finished speaking, he raised his hand and clenched it tightly, a confident smile appearing on his face.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Taizhong and the other two were startled, then their faces lit up with excitement and joy.

After all, the Yang family is now entirely supported by Yang Jingshen. The higher his cultivation level, the more resources the Yang family can obtain, and the easier it will be to cultivate future generations.

So when they heard that Yang Jingshen would be able to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the three of them were overjoyed. But after their joy, Yang Taizhong suddenly thought of the departure mentioned by Li Yunfan and asked in confusion.

"Jing Shen, what did they mean by 'departure'? Are you leaving the Yang family?"

When Yang Jingshen finally heard the question, he hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and speaking.

"Father, eldest brother, third brother! Before Fellow Daoist Li removed the fire poison from me, he stated his conditions, and after consideration, I agreed to them. Tomorrow I will take him to the Yang family's secret location!"

"What! You want to take him to the secret realm? Absolutely not! That's the lifeblood of the Yang family! How can we bring a stranger in there!"

Upon hearing this news, even Yang Jinglong, who was usually not very talkative, shouted angrily.

Yang Jingchen also looked rather grim, clearly not understanding his second brother's actions.

Only Yang Taizhong, though he frowned, quickly figured out the key point.

That means Yang Jingshen has no choice but to agree unless he chooses to die. But once he dies, the Yang family's status will plummet, and if the Qian family attacks, it will be uncertain whether they can still protect the secret place.

"Well, if you agree, then agree! But, does the other party know the truth about the secret place? Besides that, do they have any other requests?" Yang Taizhong nodded, making the decision, and then asked again.

"No, the other party doesn't know anything about it, and he didn't make any other requests. He went to the secret place just to subdue the spiritual fire inside, the one that poisoned me with fire, and then he will leave Dongyu Kingdom," Yang Jingshen said, shaking his head.

"In that case, Jing Shen, take him to the secret place tomorrow. But you must come with him. Firstly, you can provide him with some assistance to show our sincerity, and secondly, you can better monitor him," Yang Taizhong said in a low voice.

Yang Jingshen nodded, and then the four people in the highest positions of the Yang family left the stone house and returned to their respective rooms.

Inside the guest room, Li Yunfan sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly withdrawing his divine sense. He opened his eyes, sighed softly, and then closed his eyes again.

Although he kept saying he wasn't interested in the secret place, seeing how much the four of them valued it, it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious. So he took the initiative to leave, just to create space for the four of them to talk.

After returning to his room, he spread his divine sense out to eavesdrop on the conversation of the four people. Although Yang Jingshen released a soundproof shield, it was still no match for Li Yunfan's powerful divine sense.

However, to Li Yunfan's dismay and regret, Yang Jingshen and the other three did not reveal what treasures were hidden in the Yang family's secret realm. After they left, Li Yunfan withdrew his divine sense and began to truly regulate his own spiritual power.

The next day, Yang Jingshen took Li Yunfan and left the Yang family, flying towards the other side of Tieyan Mountain.

The entire Iron Flame Mountain is actually a small mountain range of only about two hundred miles, but it contains two inferior spiritual veins, which are occupied by the Yang family and the Qian family respectively. The Yang family is in the west, and the Qian family is in the east.

The place Yang Jingshen took Li Yunfan to was in the southwest of Tieyan Mountain. The two flew until they reached the vicinity of the outer edge of the Tieyan Mountain range before finally stopping.

Looking at the barren, low-lying mountains, Li Yunfan frowned slightly. Although the fire spiritual energy here was exceptionally rich, the Purple Nether Heart Flame within his body showed no reaction, and was even less active than when he was in the Yang family.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is the location of the Yang family's secret base!"

After speaking, Yang Jingshen landed directly beside a huge boulder below, and Li Yunfan followed suit, landing beside him. Yang Jingshen then took out two talismans from his storage bag and handed one to Li Yunfan.

Upon taking the talisman and examining it, Li Yunfan couldn't help but express his surprise.

"Earth-traveling talisman? This is a high-level beginner talisman!"

"Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes! The Yang family's secret territory is three miles underground, and there are no tunnels. The only way to get in and out is with this Earth Travel Talisman." Yang Jingshen chuckled, then slapped the talisman on his body. A hazy yellow light immediately emanated from the talisman, enveloping his entire body.

The Earth Travel Talisman is a basic earth-attribute spell called Earth Travel. Its only function is to allow one to travel underground, but at a very slow speed, taking several breaths to travel one mile.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that the Earth-Traveling Talisman is rarely seen in the cultivation world, because its function is too useless. When escaping, a few breaths are enough for the enemy to kill you dozens of times.

However, quite a few cultivators practice this technique, because its advanced spell, Earth Escape Technique, is much faster, only slightly slower than flight. If one possesses an earth-attribute spiritual root or a special earth-attribute spiritual body, there's even a chance to comprehend the Earth Escape Technique within the Five Elements Escape Techniques through this method!

Seeing Yang Jingshen activate the Earth-Traveling Talisman and burrow underground, Li Yunfan chuckled, slapped the talisman on his body, activated it, and burrowed underground. After his divine sense caught sight of Yang Jingshen ahead, he followed closely behind and ventured deeper into the Yang family's secret territory.

A dozen or so breaths later, Li Yunfan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he emerged from the soil and into a stone cave about ten feet in size. Several moonstones were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the small cave brightly.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the secret location of my Yang family!" Yang Jingshen said with a hint of pride.

Li Yunfan never expected that the Yang family's so-called secret place would be buried underground, and that there was no entrance or exit yet.

However, this is indeed very safe. If the exact location is unknown, no one would guess that the secret place is underground. Moreover, unless there are special circumstances, no one would deliberately use their divine sense to probe three miles underground.

The Yang family's secret location here is quite safe.
