113: Golems, Herb Gardens, and Treasure Chests

Time flew by.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

"Break!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mu Feng increased the flow of spiritual power into the Qingguang Mirror.

Soon, the Restriction blocking the cave entrance began to fluctuate.

Seeing this, Mu Feng increased his spiritual power even more.

With a 'pop' sound, the Restriction at the entrance shattered like a bubble.

"Success!"

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

Han Yuyan, who was beside him, was also very excited, and she couldn't help but glance at Mu Feng's bronze mirror a few more times.

"Let's go."

Having broken the Restriction, Mu Feng invited her to enter together.

"Okay!"

Han Yuyan nodded, but intentionally let Mu Feng go first.

Clearly, she still remembered her agreement with Mu Feng to let him choose the secret room inside first.

Mu Feng saw this and didn't stand on ceremony.

He had already used his Divine Sense to investigate; there were no other dangers in this Immortal Cave.

He immediately strode inside.

This Immortal Cave was even larger than the Ancient Cultivator Cave he had explored last time.

The layout of the main hall was also more magnificent than the previous one.

Mu Feng glanced around.

There were no treasure chests or similar items stored in the main hall.

Perhaps the owner had taken them all when they left.

Besides the main hall, this Immortal Cave also had four separate rooms, one more than the Ancient Cultivator Cave he had explored before.

It was evident that the Rank of this Immortal Cave was higher than the one he had seen previously.

This made Mu Feng even more excited about exploring the secret rooms of this Immortal Cave.

According to their agreement, he had priority in choosing.

"I choose that secret room!"

Mu Feng looked for a while, then pointed to the leftmost secret room.

With that, Mu Feng eagerly walked in.

According to their agreement, after entering here, everyone would seek their own Opportunity.

On the other side, Han Yuyan also chose a secret room and walked in.

Mu Feng glanced at her; she had entered the Insect Room.

This choice was a bit surprising to him.

Judging from her previous behavior, she should have known some information about this Immortal Cave.

Yet, she chose such a secret room.

Could it be that she came for the insect eggs inside?

When he was choosing earlier, he had used the System to roughly investigate all four secret rooms.

He knew that the secret room Han Yuyan chose contained some live insect eggs.

However, since he already had insect eggs to cultivate, he naturally wouldn't choose that one.

He shook his head, no longer bothering with her choice, and quickly entered the secret room he had chosen.

Just thinking about the information he had seen through the System made Mu Feng excited.

.....

Let's turn back time to three minutes ago.

As Mu Feng stepped into this Immortal Cave, he immediately focused his attention on investigating the information of these four secret rooms.

[Oh, the leftmost secret room is extraordinary; it actually contains two unrefined Puppets whose strength is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage.]

[The slightly left secret room is not bad; it's a medicinal garden with many spiritual plants inside.]

[The right secret room is an Insect Room, and there seem to be live eggs, but they are all ice-element Spiritual Insects, which are of general help to you.]

[The slightly right secret room is a forging room, containing many Materials for upgrading the Immortal Cave.]

This was why he chose this slightly left secret room.

"I didn't expect this Immortal Cave to contain Foundation Establishment Stage Puppets, and unrefined ones at that!"

Mu Feng was thrilled.

Upon entering the secret room, what greeted his eyes were two tall and mighty giant ape Puppets.

Needless to say, they should be the Puppets whose strength was comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage, as mentioned by the System.

Mu Feng reached out and put them all into his Storage Pouch.

[System notification: Giant Ape Puppet x1]

[System notification: Giant Ape Puppet x1]

Mu Feng was not in a hurry to check their information.

Instead, he continued to look at other parts of the secret room to see if there were any other valuable items inside.

[There seem to be some Puppet Materials in that corner.]

A red prompt appeared.

"Corner?"

Following the prompt, he quickly saw a treasure chest placed in the corner.

Mu Feng quickly went over and opened it, putting everything inside into his Storage Pouch.

[System notification: Advanced Puppet Core x1]

[System notification: millennial ironwood x3]

[System notification: Jade Rubber x1]

....

There were three items in total.

Like the two Puppets before, Mu Feng didn't examine their information closely.

Instead, he simply took them all.

After taking the items he needed, Mu Feng immediately exited this secret room and walked into the medicinal garden.

A fragrant scent assailed his nostrils.

Mu Feng looked up, and a large expanse of spiritual flowers and Spiritual Plants appeared before his eyes.

Some he recognized, and some he didn't.

"jade marrow flower, Bai Yan Grass, purple spirit grass, Jade Dragon Flower, qingfeng grass…"

Mu Feng quickly recited their names while squatting down to collect them.

[System notification: jade marrow flower x1]

[System notification: Bai Yan Grass x1]

.....

[System notification: Jade Dragon Grass x1]

In a short while, all the spiritual flowers and Spiritual Plants in the entire medicinal field were plucked clean by him.

Afterward, Mu Feng was still not satisfied and began to vigorously dig up the soil here.

....

When Han Yuyan finished exploring the first two secret rooms and excitedly wanted to enter the medicinal garden to pick the spiritual plants there, what greeted her eyes was a desolate wasteland.

Let alone spiritual flowers and spiritual plants, there wasn't even much soil left in the medicinal field.

Han Yuyan: "..."

"Hehe, you're here. Do you want this breathing earth?"

"If not, I'll take it all."

Seeing her enter, Mu Feng asked.

He had almost gathered all the Materials for upgrading his Immortal Cave.

After this trip back and the Immortal Cave upgrade, the medicinal field should expand.

At that time, this breathing earth should come in handy.

Mu Feng originally thought she wouldn't be interested in these, so he politely asked.

However, her answer surprised him.

"I want it!" Han Yuyan said.

The spiritual plants were already gone.

If she didn't dig up some soil to take back, she would suffer a huge loss.

With that, she disregarded her Fairy image and quickly joined Mu Feng in digging.

Seeing her skilled digging posture, it was clear she had done this sort of thing often, which left Mu Feng stunned.

"Holy crap, leave some for me!"

By the time he came to his senses, she had already dug up a lot.

Mu Feng shouted, then joined in the digging.

Thus, with the combined efforts of the two, they turned over the entire medicinal field.

Anyone who didn't know would think thieves had broken in.

Truly, digging three feet deep.

After digging up the breathing earth, the two went back to their respective secret rooms for another look, but found nothing.

This gave them a feeling of meeting their match.

The two investigated back and forth several times.

After confirming that all usable items in the entire Immortal Cave had been taken by them, Han Yuyan was the first to bid farewell.

"I'm leaving first. We can cooperate again if there's an Opportunity."

Having obtained the Spiritual Insects she wanted in this Immortal Cave, Han Yuyan was in a good mood.

After a few polite words with Mu Feng, she left the Immortal Cave.

She had a Light Body Technique, so jumping down from here was no problem.

"It's so high here, how will you get down?" Mu Feng asked, feigning ignorance.

"Guess!" Han Yuyan said with a cunning look.

She thought Mu Feng didn't know she had a Light Body Technique.

"Since you put it that way, I'll take a guess."

Mu Feng looked at Han Yuyan with a half-smile, then said something astonishing.

"Hmm, could it be the Light Body Technique?"

"How did you know?!" Han Yuyan was shocked.

She prided herself on hiding it well and never revealing that she knew the Light Body Technique in front of others.

Yet, the other party had exposed it with a single sentence, which naturally surprised her.

"Hehe, you guess!" Mu Feng chuckled, returning her own words to her.

With that, he used a Flying Talisman to leave before her.

Looking at Mu Feng's receding back, Han Yuyan's eyes showed surprise.

After pondering for a while, she used the Light Body Technique to jump down from the high altitude, landing gracefully.

Seeing her practiced manner, it was clear this wasn't her first time jumping from a high place.

Meanwhile, shortly after Han Yuyan landed and left the canyon, Mu Feng, who had already left, flew back from above the canyon, landing steadily at the Immortal Cave entrance.

Mu Feng's return naturally had his own reasons.

After investigating with his Divine Sense and confirming that the other party had left, Mu Feng shined his Qingguang Mirror towards the Immortal Cave entrance.

In a short while, a Puppet Lizard with a treasure chest in its mouth appeared.

Seeing Mu Feng, the Puppet Lizard waddled towards him, wagging its head.

This Puppet Lizard was none other than Mu Feng's own!

As for why it was here, it all started when Mu Feng took the initiative to break the Restriction.

When Mu Feng and Han Yuyan arrived at the Immortal Cave and discovered that the Restriction was actually a very ordinary Spirit-Binding Formation, he immediately had a mischievous idea.

He proactively suggested breaking the Formation, which was actually an Opportunity to secretly put the Little Lizard inside the Immortal Cave beforehand.

Yes, it was when he used the Qingguang Mirror to shine light, using the light to disrupt the other party's vision, that Mu Feng sent the Little Lizard in, instructing it to retrieve the treasure chests inside for him.

This was also why the main hall was empty—because the treasure chests inside had already been taken by the Little Lizard in advance.

Subsequently, while breaking the Formation, he deliberately preserved part of the Formation's power to conceal the Little Lizard's figure inside.

Although Han Yuyan's Realm was higher than his, when it came to Formation mastery, she couldn't compare to him.

Naturally, she couldn't discover the tricks he had played.

"Swish, swish…"

The Little Lizard handed the treasure chest to Mu Feng, then jumped around him as if asking for praise.

"You Little Lizard, I know you've done a great job!"

Mu Feng patted its head as a reward, then took the treasure chest the Little Lizard handed over.

This treasure chest was very ornate, and it was clear at first glance that it contained good things, which made Mu Feng very excited about what good things might be inside.

With an excited heart, Mu Feng opened the treasure chest.

Soon, the items inside appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

They were: a damaged flying dagger, a complete Jade Slip, three black Spiritual Plants, and a yellow pouch.
