The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Chapter 716: A Unique Cave Chapter 720: Chapter 716: A Unique Cave “There's really something in here!”

Shen Luo's face lit up with joy, his five fingers emitted a radiant golden light, and he reached out to grasp at the void in front of the mountain wall.

A golden dragon claw shot out of his hand, fiercely scratching at the yellow light curtain.

With a harsh “crack”, five ripples appeared on the yellow light curtain, causing the entire curtain to tremble violently for a moment, but it quickly stabilized.

“This prohibition is indeed sturdy,” Shen Luo muttered to himself, yet was too lazy to waste time with it. He then pulled out his Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, and struck the yellow light curtain with it.

With the might of the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, a single casual strike was several times stronger than the dragon claw. The whole mountain peak rumbled and shook a little, and the yellow light curtain shattered with a 'bang' like a mirror.

The blurry mountain wall disappeared to reveal a black hole. Threads of white light shone out from it, revealing a cave. The cave was somewhat twisted, making it impossible to see what lay in its depths.

Shen Luo put away his Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, probed into the cave with his divine sense, didn't find anything unusual, and stepped in.

The cave was not deep, he quickly reached the end; the space here suddenly became broad, with a hundred feet in size. The ground was made into an open field, which turned out to be a medicine garden.

The garden was filled with numerous spirit grasses and fruits, their spiritual energy abundant, obviously not ordinary things.

“This is a Thick Earth Ganoderma! It has already grown nine petals, it must be at least two thousand years old!” Shen Luo looked at a nine-petalled spirit mushroom, his eyes lit up, murmuring to himself.

This thing was a treasure for those who cultivated wood-based skills, a two-thousand-year-old Thick Earth Ganoderma would have significant benefits even for a true immortal cultivator.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned his attention to the other plants.

“Dragon Spirit Fruit! Dream Dew Flower! Xuan Guang Vine!” As he called out the names of these spirit grasses, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

All of these spirit grasses were extraordinarily precious, some even rumored to be extinct in the outside world. It was unbelievable to find so many here, let alone they were of high medicinal age.

“So many precious elixirs in this place, could it be the remains of a prominent sect?” Shen Luo quickly calmed down and speculated in his heart.

However, it didn't stop him from acting. He harvested all the spirit grasses and fruits.

After doing these, Shen Luo searched the medicine garden but didn't find any other treasures. He left and continued searching further down the mountain.

Ever since he found this medicine garden, his luck seemed to improve. He made some gains from time to time and soon arrived at a grand building near the foot of the mountain.

The building complex was expansive, consisting of forty to fifty palaces and towers. It looked like a mountain gate, must have been grand in its day, but unfortunately, most of it is now in ruins.

But the ruins did not seem to be from natural decay, but rather a result of conflict.

Abroken plaque hung askew on the front of the main hall, covered in dust, and the inscriptions on it were blurry.

He raised his hand and sent out a beam of golden light, wiping away the dust on the plaque, and three big words appeared: Treasure Hall.

“Treasure Hall! One of the Three Great Business Associations of Datang, could this place be within the Tang Dynasty?” Shen Luo had only briefly probed here with his divine sense and did not scrutinize it; he was now surprised.

He didn't stop, and stepped into the palace complex.

There were traces of intense battles everywhere in the palace complex, it was heavily damaged. He walked around inside but found nothing of value.

Just as Shen Luo was about to leave, intending to explore other places, his expression subtly changed. Swiftly, he conceal himself behind a nearby large rock and suppressed his presence, lifting his gaze towards the distance.

A gray streak of escape light appeared on the distant horizon, shooting towards him. The light moved fast and in the blink of an eye, it was nearby, transforming into a figure that gently landed nearby.

This figure, dressed in a gray robe, possessed rather strong cultivation. He had already reached the True Immortal Realm. A layer of black qi shrouded his face, concealing his appearance. From his white hair, it could be inferred that this was an old man.

The old man in the gray robe seemed quite familiar with this location. After landing, he immediately glanced around and then confidently moved towards the location where Shen Luo was hiding.

A chill rose in Shen Luo's heart. Could it be that he had been discovered?

However, he didn't harbor any fear. This person's cultivation had only reached the early stage of the True Immortal Realm. If a struggle ensued, Shen Luo could possibly capture this man and inquire about this place.

However, the scenario Shen Luo anticipated didn't materialize. The old man in the gray robe appeared to have not discovered him. The man walked past Shen Luo, proceeding for about a hundred or so yards before he halted.

There lay seven or eight stone sculptures randomly strewn about. Shen Luo had checked that place before and had not discovered anything unusual.

The old man in the gray robe looked around his surroundings, then crouched down in front of a small stone sculpture, fumbling for a long time.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of gears rotating echoed out. The stone sculpture along with the surrounding ground slowly sank, revealing a tunnel leading to a lower frontier.

“A hidden mechanism?”, Shen Luo's eyebrow rose slightly as he watched the scene unfold.

“It is indeed here!”, the old man in the gray robe murmured excitedly. He immediately proceeded down the tunnel.

After the figure of the old man in gray disappeared into the tunnel, Shen Luo emerged from his hiding spot. He turned his gaze to the black tunnel and extended his Divine Sense towards it.

But an invisible force filled the tunnel. The moment his Divine Sense entered, it was immediately confined and unable to move at all in there.

A trace of surprise flickered across his face. Shen Luo moved to the entrance of the tunnel, hesitated for a moment, and then strolled down the passage.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, he felt the force of it's prohibitions, swaying in the void like a gentle breeze. Luckily the prohibition only restricted his Divine Sense and had no impact on his cultivation.

The tunnel was filled with steps extending down to the ground, covered in dust. Footprints trailed off towards the lower frontier, left behind by the old man in gray.

After Shen Luo evaluated the situation, he lifted his body from the ground and floated into the tunnel, not leaving any footprints on the ground.

The passage was not deep, it ended abruptly, two paths appeared ahead, unveiling two corridors, each leading to the left and right respectively.

Both corridors were quite long; one could not see their ends from here. On the ground of the left-hand corridor, another set of footprints existed, indicating the direction the old man in gray had gone.

Seeing this, Shen Luo didn't hesitate to fly down the right-hand corridor.

This place seemed to be a hidden treasure trove probably harboring precious items or some kind of secret technique. Naturally, he did not want to miss out; perhaps there might even be a solution to his current lifespan issue.

The corridor was lengthy and winding. There was nothing on either side of the passage, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

Shen Luo continued advancing, and after quite a while, he finally reached the end where something appeared. At the termination of the corridor, on either side were two stone chambers, their doors were unlocked.

He gently pushed open the stone door on his right. Within it was a quite large stone chamber. The chamber was not overly extensive, merely seven or eight feet wide. There were two wooden shelves inside, with various bottles and jars arranged on them. These were all medicine vials, each marked with their names underneath: Huayang Pill, Purple Ginseng Pill, Blood Lotus Pill…
