120: Chapter 120 You're a young person too?

"Xiao Yan..."

The old man opened his mouth.

The little girl turned to look at the old man with a smile and said softly, "Grandpa, over these years, you've taken me to countless places and paid a high price to treat my illness, yet we remained helpless."

"I can't help with anything, and I don't want Grandpa to keep running around for me."

"Besides, I can feel that Big Brother is a good person. He shouldn't try to cheat us, right Big Brother?"

Ye Xiyan stuck her tongue out at Ji Taichang, revealing a somewhat playful smile.

Ji Taichang smiled slightly, "You have a good eye for people!"

The old man was moved by Ye Xiyan's words. He eventually nodded and agreed to Ji Taichang's conditions.

Ji Taichang added, "Senior, I can also treat the injuries on your body. The condition is simple: as long as Senior joins the Qingyun Sect and becomes an enshrined elder."

"An enshrined elder doesn't need to do any tasks normally; Senior just needs to help out when the Sect encounters a major crisis."

This time, the old man clearly hesitated.

Ji Taichang struck while the iron was hot, "Senior, Xiao Yan is already my Disciple. She will definitely stay in the Qingyun Sect in the future. What will she do when she misses Senior then? She is still so young..."

"Senior, you wouldn't want to see her endure the pain of being separated from her relatives at such a young age, would you?"

The old man's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep look at Ji Taichang and said, "You brat, you certainly have a good plan."

Ji Taichang chuckled, "It's just an exchange of equal value. What does Senior think?"

The old man sighed and finally nodded.

"Alright."

"This old man's name is Ye Yuan."

"I am Ji Aotian. It's a pleasure to meet Senior Ye!"

Ji Taichang and Ye Yuan bowed to each other.

This scene made Lin Fan's face look quite dark and unsightly.

"It's that damned Ji Aotian again!!"

"If it weren't for him interfering, we could have recruited this Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse!"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Fan's Soul couldn't help but curse, feeling quite angry and unwilling.

Yun Qiyao sighed softly and said, "His medical skills are superb, which truly exceeded my expectations. I only have a remnant Soul left now; there's nothing I can do if I can't compete with him."

She controlled Lin Fan's body, cupped her hands to the old man and Ji Taichang, and then silently turned to leave.

Ji Taichang's heart stirred, and he immediately followed!

His thought was simple: a guy like Lin Fan with a ring grandpa must have a fated connection with this place; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly appeared here from the Medicine King Valley.

As long as he stayed by Lin Fan's side, he might be able to find a way out of the maze.

The Black-Armored Woman followed closely by Ji Taichang's side.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan also pulled Ye Xiyan and followed.

Lin Fan's face turned black as he turned around to stare at Ji Taichang, "Why is Senior Ji following me?"

Ji Taichang shrugged, "I'm not following you. It's just that the direction we're going is the same."

Lin Fan snorted coldly, "In that case, please take the first step, Senior Ji."

"No rush, you go first."

Ji Taichang was determined to stay behind Lin Fan.

"You—"

Lin Fan also saw through Ji Taichang's intention and was suddenly furious.

But he couldn't beat Ji Taichang either, so he eventually swallowed his pride and endured it.

Yun Qiyao returned control of the body to Lin Fan and gave instructions from within the ring. Lin Fan moved quickly through the maze, and the surrounding mist gradually faded.

They encountered many Yao Beasts on the way, but they were all killed by the Black-Armored Woman, and their corpses were collected by Ji Taichang.

After walking for half an hour like this.

Everyone felt their vision suddenly clear. A beautiful mountain Peak appeared ahead, and the surrounding mist vanished instantly, making their eyes light up.

Spiritual Qi gathered on the mountain Peak, where many Spirit Medicines of terrifyingly high age grew. Mysterious light flickered on the summit, where starlight from the heavens converged.

"The astral sand is on the mountain Peak!"

"There are also many Grade 4 Spirit Medicines!!"

The Black-Armored Woman's eyes brightened suddenly, feeling quite surprised and excited.

Almost at the same instant, Ji Taichang and the others immediately took to the air, trying to rush up the mountain Peak to compete for the Heaven And Earth Treasures.

The next moment.

Ji Taichang and the others felt as if they had hit an invisible wall. They could not move an inch further after only reaching three zhang off the ground, unable to get close to the mountain Peak at all!

Even Ye Yuan, who was at the Soul Transformation Stage, couldn't do it!

"There's a Restriction guarding this place!"

Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow and looked ahead.

A towering stone gate stood at the foot of the mountain. Some blurry characters were inscribed on the lintel, long since weathered and impossible to see clearly.

"Xiao Fan, this should be an Immortal Cave left by a powerful expert. Your Opportunity and fortune are inside!"

Yun Qiyao's voice carried a hint of surprise.

Lin Fan also walked over with an excited and joyful mood.

But Lan Huaying's movements were faster. She appeared in front of the Immortal Cave's gate in a flash, pressed her hand against the door, and her powerful strength at the Peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage erupted as she pushed hard!

But... the stone gate didn't budge!!

Ye Yuan showed a look of surprise. He also appeared in front of the stone gate in a flash. Power at the Soul Transformation level circulated, but he also couldn't push it open!

"This Immortal Cave is protected by a Restriction that surpasses the Soul Transformation Stage. This was left behind by at least a Void Refining Stage expert."

"The stone gate's Restriction... limits bone age and Spiritual Root talent. Only young people under the age of thirty can enter. This is a powerful expert screening for a successor!"

Ye Yuan sensed carefully and saw some clues, sighing with regret.

Just then.

Lin Fan suddenly stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone gate. Mysterious patterns lit up on the stone gate, scanning Lin Fan's body. A brilliant golden light radiated, and his figure was "whooshed" into the Immortal Cave!

"That's... a Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

Ye Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly. At the moment the golden light lit up, he keenly captured the power aura radiating from Lin Fan.

A Genius of this level was rare even in the entire Eastern Desolate Region!

The next scene made Ye Yuan's eyes widen even more.

Ji Taichang also stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone gate. A brilliant golden light, radiant to the extreme, soared into the sky, condensing into the phantom of an immortal sword!

Ji Taichang also "whooshed" into the interior of the Immortal Cave!

"Wait... he's also of the younger generation?!!"

Both Ye Yuan and Lan Huaying stared with wide eyes, their heads buzzing.

Ji Taichang not only had a cultivation as high as the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage but was also a Grade 5 Alchemy King with amazing attainments in the Dao of Alchemy!

And now you're telling me this guy is actually under thirty??

"Such a terrifying Prodigy... could he be from some Holy Land?!"

Ye Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, truly shocked.

Even Lan Huaying's eyes flickered, her emotions fluctuating.

What they didn't know was.

In reality, Ji Taichang's bone age was even younger than Lin Fan's—he had just turned eighteen!!
