"Old Hu, the yin energy around here seems to have decreased a lot," Fatty said, feeling the surroundings, surprised.
"It looks like the boss has cracked this ghost cave."
Hu Bayi was also surprised. He hadn't expected Zhang Tian to directly resolve the ghost cave. Others had broken through it, but Zhang Tian had simply pacified it?
It was truly unprecedented.
"Young Master Zhang is so powerful that he can subdue a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit. It seems I still know too little," Xie Yuchen thought, his view of Zhang Tian changing again.
Perhaps Zhang Tian's strength was not inferior to his father's.
Perhaps even stronger.
If he added his current team's strength, they could probably establish a powerful family in Beili without anyone daring to oppose them.
Xie Yuchen shook his head, discarding these thoughts.
At this moment, after Zhang Tian's enlightenment, he felt a surge of energy from his dantian to his heart.
Zhang Tian didn't care about anything else. He sat down on the ground and took the pill given to him by Yimei.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Tian continued to push his limits.
After about two days, Zhang Tian's strength greatly increased.
His aura became extremely solid, and his cultivation had risen by a significant level.
"Grandmaster Realm!"
Feeling the power within him, Zhang Tian now wouldn't be so distressed if he faced the weasel again.
"Such immense power. A Grandmaster fighting against someone in the Heavenly Realm could probably take on dozens of them."
Zhang Tian now understood the terrifying nature of the Grandmaster Realm.
He opened his eyes again, and his gaze fell upon the group gnawing on roast wild boar.
Since Zhang Tian had not woken up, the others had not acted much.
"Damn it, boss, you're finally awake! Boss, you know, you were just dreaming. It was so badass."
"You were even shouting about unifying the country and marrying a beautiful woman."
Fatty gestured wildly as he spoke, leaving Zhang Tian in disarray.
"Um... you guys saw my dream?"
Zhang Tian asked cautiously.
Seeing Zhang Qilin nod gently.
Zhang Tian was instantly petrified.
This was more shocking than Fatty kissing a female corpse.
Thinking of his own heroic demeanor at the time and his unconventional words.
Zhang Tian just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Uh... alright, let's go find the ghost pills first," Zhang Tian said, waving his hand to change the awkward topic.
"Right, where is Daoist Yimei?"
At this moment, Zhang Tian noticed that the Daoist was gone.
"He seems to have gone over there."
Fatty pointed to a spot not far away.
In a corner.
"Master, did you see? My disciple Tianjing can actually crack the Myriad Ghost Cave at his current level."
"He truly has my old demeanor. Back in our temple, I was unrivaled!"
"Master, you even praised me, saying I was stronger than you and the future of the Daoist sect."
"Oh, Master, why is your spirit tablet cracked?"
Yimei, holding a plaque, froze when he saw it crack.
"I know, Master, you must be as excited as I am, right? Our Daoist sect has successors now."
Yimei hid in the corner, pouring out all the words he had suppressed in his heart.
When Zhang Tian found him, Yimei quickly put away the spirit tablet and looked at Zhang Tian with a stern expression.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough. However, you need to stabilize your cultivation. We can talk about it after we leave."
"Follow me, let's go find the ghost pills."
Yimei said seriously, trying his best to maintain the unique aura of a master in front of his disciple.
"Boss, you seem to have gotten stronger again."
Fatty squeezed Zhang Tian's arm, speaking enviously.
"I'll teach you a way to get stronger."
"What? Tell me quickly, boss."
"Get beaten, get beaten the worst you can. Only by being beaten repeatedly will you become stronger."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty looked dejected. He wasn't a punching bag.
At this moment, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin were gazing at their surroundings with fascination.
Indeed, it was the Myriad Ghost Cave. On the sheer cliffs, there were countless wind holes like natural tunnels. When the wind blew through them, they emitted a mournful sound.
At the same time, there were many white powders on the ground, which were bone ash. In some places, there were even complete skeletons, but they were so fragile that they would crumble at a touch.
The yin energy in the surroundings had also diminished considerably.
It was clear that the two generals had reincarnated. The Xiongnu had left, so General Song had no reason to stay.
Daoist Yimei seemed to know the way.
After making several turns, a black pool appeared.
Floating in the pool were four pills.
"The resentment was too strong just now, so another one must have accumulated."
"My young friend, how about we each take two?"
Daoist Yimei proposed, and Fatty became ecstatic, nodding quickly.
Fatty loved the joy of getting something for free.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the four pills were taken.
The black mist in the pool began to dissipate.
"There's no more yin energy here. this pill-raising pool has been abandoned," Hu Bayi explained.
Zhang Tian nodded. Now, the team's strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
With this, attacking the weasel would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Heh heh, great! The princess is about to become corporeal!"
Fatty thought gleefully, already imagining himself walking hand-in-hand with the princess.
Then, Fatty would be the most dashing fellow in the village.
"Fatty, the princess took a hit for you and her cultivation has greatly decreased. Let her rest well. In three days, we'll go find the weasel's grave."
Zhang Tian said.
His voice was serious. Zhang Tian believed in revenge.
"Good disciple, I will also cultivate for three days. You should also stabilize your cultivation. In three days, it will be time for our revenge!"
Yimei was also serious.
He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
He had been planning for this moment for years, and today, the opportunity had finally arrived.
After the others agreed, they sat down on the spot and began to prepare.
Meanwhile, Xie Yuchen stared at the cliff face of the Myriad Ghost Cave, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Young Master Xie, what's wrong?"
Zhang Tian walked over to him when he saw this.
"Young Master Zhang, look, above the pool that originally held the ghost pills, there seem to be some patterns."
Xie Yuchen said. Zhang Tian looked over and indeed, there seemed to be some patterns above the pool.
There were also some inscribed symbols.
"Are these symbols? What are they for?"
Seeing these symbols, Zhang Tian's brow furrowed even more.
How could there be runes here? Was it a trap set by someone?
Just as Zhang Tian was suspecting, a voice came from not far away.
"Damn it, boss, why am I starting to itch all over?"
"Me too. It feels like I've been bitten by something. It's so uncomfortable."
Hu Bayi also felt a sense of itchiness.
Zhang Tian looked at his own skin; there was nothing unusual.
He looked at Zhang Qilin, and he was fine too.
Just as he was about to speak, red spots also began to appear on Xie Yuchen's body.
"What is this? A curse? Once someone takes the ghost pills, a curse is triggered!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tian's heart sank.
He finally understood the purpose of these runes; they were a trap!
They had thought they were lucky and wouldn't encounter a curse, but they had still run into one.
And this curse was very strange, as if someone had intentionally set it up here.
"Could it be that we weren't the only ones interested in the ghost pills?"
Zhang Tian thought, his gaze falling on the others.
"Boss, what should we do? Are we poisoned?"
"Damn it, I was just about to celebrate with the princess."
Fatty looked distressed, tears almost welling up.
Hu Bayi looked at himself, not as panicked as Fatty.
"This is a curse. The curses we saw in the underwater tomb before also had similar runes."
Hu Bayi said, and Zhang Tian nodded.
"I suspect someone deliberately set this up here to protect the ghost pills from being taken away."
"I didn't expect us to be afflicted."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty looked at him with confusion.
"Why, boss, you and Second Brother are fine, it's unfair."
Fatty said, and Zhang Tian was also a bit annoyed. Could it be that the蛟 snake eye he ate earlier had an effect?
But that was for poison resistance, not curse resistance.
As if hearing him, the curse began to appear on Zhang Tian's body as well.
Zhang Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at Fatty.
Was this guy doing it on purpose?
Only Zhang Qilin remained unaffected, as this curse was not as strong as the one he already had.
Therefore, it had no effect.
"Boss, can I say I didn't do it on purpose?"
Fatty blinked.
"Fatty, it's going to hurt a bit. Bear with it."
Zhang Tian took a deep breath and kicked Fatty's butt, sending him flying.
