343: Taishan Relics

Several hours later, the three of them sat on a rock wall, leisurely eating the spiritual fruits Ji Jiangxue had given them earlier.

The spiritual fruits were incredibly juicy and had a crisp texture.

Hu Bingbing lay down comfortably while eating a spiritual fruit.

She sighed, “Alas, no harvest today!”

Jin Meiting was puzzled, “Isn’t today’s harvest already a lot? We’re all exhausted!”

Ke Ming, who was beside them, immediately understood and said, “If you’re talking about her kind of harvest, then no, there isn’t.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Meiting understood completely and gave a helpless smile.

Hu Bingbing truly lived up to her reputation as a ‘fishing enthusiast’; she never forgot to ‘fish’ no matter where she went.

While the three were chatting, a mysterious light suddenly appeared behind Hu Bingbing.

Jin Meiting and Ke Ming both stood up in surprise, looking curiously at the light behind Hu Bingbing.

Hu Bingbing sat up, bewildered, “What happened?”

Following the light’s guidance, Jin Meiting and Ke Ming arrived at a hidden Immortal Cave within the mountain.

Hu Bingbing turned to watch Jin Meiting and Ke Ming’s actions, then immediately got up and followed closely behind them.

An ancient aura permeated the Immortal Cave, and strange runes flickered on the walls.

The walls and ground also bore various scratches made by some unknown species.

The three cautiously proceeded, and based on the remnants found in the Immortal Cave, they speculated it was an Immortal ruin.

The ruins contained ancient Magic Treasures, Secret Manuals, mysterious Medicinal Pills, and some unseeable murals on the walls.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the passage of too much time, the murals were damaged and unclear.

Hu Bingbing asked, “Whose Immortal’s Cave Abode is this, Senior?”

Ke Ming shook his head, “I don’t know. I originally thought these murals might provide some answers, but they are all damaged.”

He turned to look at the scratches and continued, “And if you look closely at these scratches, even after so long, they are still so clear. It’s clear how dangerous the situation must have been back then.”

Jin Meiting inspected the area. If this truly was an Immortal Cave, they needed to return quickly and inform the Grand Elder and the others.

“Why don’t we go back first? We can ask Old Qin if he knows anything about this place?!”

Ke Ming and Hu Bingbing nodded in agreement.

Seeing Jin Meiting and the other two leave so quickly, Ji Jiangxue looked very puzzled.

“You’re leaving so soon?”

Jin Meiting told Ji Jiangxue about discovering the Immortal Cave in the Small World, and Ji Jiangxue looked bewildered.

“I even explored the Small World last time, and I didn’t find any Immortal Cave there?!”

Jin Meiting explained, “It’s normal that you didn’t find it. This discovery was also accidental because Bingbing touched a mechanism, which led us to find the Immortal Cave.”

Ji Jiangxue exclaimed, “6!”

...

The three deeply understood the importance of this discovery and eagerly left the Small World.

Upon returning to the capital, Jin Meiting and the other two immediately went to the Grand Elder’s office.

Jin Meiting anxiously explained to the Grand Elder about the Immortal Cave they saw in Mount Tai.

“Grand Elder, we all unanimously speculate that the Immortal Cave might be the Immortal Cave Abode of some Senior Immortal.”

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, then called for his guard.

“Go and get Old Qin to come here.”

The guard nodded, “Yes.”

Having said that, he immediately left.

Upon learning that Jin Meiting and the other two had rushed to the Grand Elder’s office, Qin Zhe, feeling uneasy, also came to the Grand Elder’s office.

The atmosphere in the office was very solemn. He looked at Jin Meiting and the other two in confusion, “What’s going on?”

Hu Bingbing secretly explained to Qin Zhe from the side. After listening, he looked surprised, followed by ecstasy.

If this truly was an Immortal Cave, wouldn’t they have struck it rich?

...

At the same time, Old Qin, on the other side, was taking a nap.

Suddenly, he felt a dizzy spell, and found that some information had appeared in his mind, then he returned to normal.

This information was all about a ruin on Mount Tai, and it was all transmitted to him by Li Mu, just to help him better fit his identity as a future person.

Just then, the guard knocked on Old Qin’s door.

Learning that the Grand Elder urgently needed him, he immediately headed to the Grand Elder’s office.

A moment later, Old Qin arrived at the office.

Everyone present in the office collectively looked at Old Qin. Old Qin felt a bit unnerved seeing all those eyes staring at him.

The Grand Elder spoke, “Old Qin, Jin Meiting and the others discovered an Immortal Cave in the dimensional Small World of Mount Tai this time. Everyone is speculating that the Immortal Cave might be the existence of an Immortal ruin, but they know nothing about its specific situation. Do you know anything?”

Old Qin was stunned, not expecting the Grand Elder to bring this up.

So, all these people gathered here were because of the Immortal Cave? Seeing the Grand Elder’s solemn expression, he no longer delayed and spoke what he knew.

His gaze swept over everyone present, then he said in a steady tone, “The Mount Tai Immortal ruin is a mysterious place left by the Righteous God of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court in ancient times. It is said to contain endless Immortal arts mysteries and precious Immortal Artifacts, but the specific situation is unknown to anyone.”

Jin Meiting, Qin Zhe, and everyone else present listened intently to Old Qin’s words, their faces showing surprise.

They had always yearned for the existence of Immortals, and now learning that this ruin might be related to Immortals, their excitement was uncontrollable.

Old Qin continued, “This Small World only contains the ruins, and the owner of the Immortal ruins is currently in a Seal.”

The Grand Elder nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating he understood.

Old Qin then said, “According to what I know about this ruin of the Righteous God of the Thunder Department, it can only be entered at specific times. And the next time it can be entered is in three days.”

The Grand Elder nodded; he understood the importance of this matter.

If they could obtain the treasures from the Immortal ruins, it would be a huge asset for the country.

Therefore, the Grand Elder instructed Old Qin to lead a team, taking Qin Zhe, Lan Kun, and others from the Special Affairs Handling Bureau to investigate the situation.

At the same time, he also had other departments prepare to provide support at any time.

Old Qin accepted the order. He knew the danger of this mission; in the information Li Mu provided, there were many Formations within this ruin.

But he believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would surely complete the mission.

Three days later, Old Qin led the elites of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau to Mount Tai.

Led by Jin Meiting and the other two, after entering the dimensional Small World, they arrived at the Immortal Cave hidden in the mountain forest.

Everyone stood in place, puzzled, their eyes searching around, but besides a dense forest, they saw no sign of any Immortal Cave.

Ji Jiangxue also looked at Hu Bingbing and the others with full suspicion, secretly wondering.

She knew that she was now fully integrated with the Mountain God and Mount Tai, yet she couldn’t feel the slightest trace of an Immortal ruin’s aura.

Could there be a Formation that blocked the aura?

Meanwhile, Old Qin stood silently in place, not speaking, but lighting a cigarette.

At this moment, Hu Bingbing walked directly towards a small rock, then gently kicked an inconspicuous protrusion next to the rock.

Instantly, the nearby tree branches began to emit a rumbling sound.

Accompanied by the rumbling, the outline of the Immortal Cave gradually became clear, revealing itself before everyone.
