There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

The two men took out their spiritual swords, flashed their light, and walked in slowly.

Ye Qingchen saw their faces clearly, both of them were in their thirties.

One of them has a round face, thick white hair tied into a braid on the back of his head, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan. The other has a slender horse face, brown hair tied into a bun on his head, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jindan.

The two of them were surprised when they saw the messy scene in the cave.

The horse-faced man said: "What's going on? There seems to have been a fight. Could it be that someone else discovered this place?"

The round-faced man looked around cautiously, walked towards the brown bear corpse in the middle of the cave, frowned and said, "Someone was killed! Look around to see if there is anything unusual!"

Those two people should be demon cultivators. Although their cultivation is higher than Ye Qingchen's, their strength is actually much lower than him. Even if they may carry magic talismans with them, they may not have time to respond when they are suddenly attacked by Ye Qingchen who is in the dark.

If he wanted to kill the two of them at this time, it would be easy. But Ye Qingchen didn't intend to do this.

According to his guess, the sudden arrival of these two people was most likely related to the "treasure" in the mountain. Why not see what they are going to do first, maybe you can find some useful clues.

Ye Qingchen quietly hid in a small hole inside the cave and heard two people outside walking around in the cave.

After a while, the horse-faced man said: "Someone probably came here by mistake and left after a fight."

"Well, that should be the case. The secrets in this cave are not that easy to discover."

"Without further delay, let's get to work quickly. The team transporting the Earth Fire Cauldron is expected to arrive in the afternoon, and we have to arrange it as soon as possible. This time the Second Elder will come in person. If the two of us miss this important event, I'm afraid we will be arrested again. Punished."

Earth fire cauldron?

These four words were deeply imprinted in Ye Qingchen's mind.

He thought to himself: "Those two people said that the secrets here are extremely difficult to discover. It seems that even if I continue to inquire, I may find nothing. And the secrets of the treasures here are most likely related to the earth fire cauldron."

But I don’t know what the earth fire cauldron is and what it is used for?

Don't worry, I just need to hide here and watch what happens, and sooner or later all the truth will be revealed. "

At this time, there was a loud rumbling sound in the cave as rocks flew and hit the cave wall. It must be that the two men were cleaning the cave.

After a while, when he heard that there was no movement outside, Ye Qingchen walked out cautiously and hid in the corner to observe secretly.

The two men had cleared all the stones in the outer cave to the edges of the surrounding cave walls, and the center of the cave looked very clean and tidy.

At this time, the round-faced man walked to the entrance of the cave and took out a large iron pillar from the storage bag.

The iron pillar was about as thick as an arm and half a foot long, with one end blunt and the other pointed.

The iron pillar flew up from his hand, suspended in the air, and lit up with white light. It must have been injected with spiritual power.

The round-faced man pointed at the iron pillar with his finger, guided its tip toward the stone wall inside the cave entrance, and slowly rotated it.

There was a loud whining sound, and the iron pillar slowly drilled into the stone wall like a drill, sinking seven or eight feet deep into the wall, leaving only two or three feet outside.

Following the same pattern, he drilled into an iron pillar on the other side of the cave.

At the same time, the horse-faced man took out two long hemp ropes two fingers thick from the storage bag, coiled them and piled them on the ground. The two ropes must have been extremely long, forming two mounds as big as buffaloes on the ground.

After the round-faced man fixed the iron pillar, the horse-faced man tied one end of the hemp rope firmly to the iron pillar.

He pulled the rope and tested the strength, with a satisfied smile on his face: "It's so strong, it should be no problem."

Ye Qingchen thought to himself that it looked like they were trying to pull something from the bottom of the mountain into the cave.

It stands to reason that they can put ordinary small items into storage bags and bring them easily.

As for living creatures, water and fire, and other things that cannot be stored in storage bags, based on their strength, they should be able to hold them up against the wind. Why do you have to use this stupid method that only mortals can use?

By the way, they probably did this because they wanted to bring up the Earth Fire Cauldron. Could it be that the Earth Fire Cauldron not only cannot be stored in the storage bag, but is also so heavy that they cannot even lift it with their combined strength?

The round-faced man also pulled the rope and tried it, and said angrily: "They are enjoying the wealth in Jinling, but they let us work as coolies in this place where birds don't shit."

The horse-faced man narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said slyly: "Brother, don't you think this is a blessing for us?"

"Huh?" The round-faced man looked at him in surprise and said, "You kid, you don't think..."

"Senior brother, don't you think so?" the horse-faced man said with a smile, "We are suffering here, so it is only natural that we can gain some benefits secretly!"

The round-faced man said in a deep voice: "If we are discovered, according to the clan rules..."

"Senior brother!" The horse-faced man interrupted him, "Since the second elder has given us full responsibility for this matter, it is because we have always been diligent and hard-working, and have won his trust. He should be the same for this kind of thing. He knew it very well and deliberately wanted to give us some sweetness."

"Indeed, we have worked with him for so many years and have gained credit and hard work. He may also want to take the opportunity to reward us."

"Yes, besides, no one outside knows what happened in this cave. Only heaven knows and earth knows. You know it and I know it."

The round-faced man thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "That's right, the second elder came here today just to take a look and then leave. How many spiritual stones will be produced by then? Isn't it all up to the two of us to report?"

"Hehe, that's what I mean!" The horse-faced man rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation.

"Eh?! Produce spirit stones?" Hearing this, Ye Qingchen was shocked, "It turns out that the secret of the Great Witch Peak is really related to spirit stones!"

In his previous life on earth, spiritual stones were almost extinct, so his knowledge of them was very limited. Now listening to what these two people said, it turns out that the spirit stone does not seem to be mined naturally, but must be produced in some way.

Could it be that the earth-fire cauldron they call is a tool used to produce spiritual stones?

Could it be that the real purpose of the Xiong Yao family lurking in the Chu country is for the spirit stone?

They must have discovered that there are many resources distributed in the Chu Kingdom that can be used to condense spiritual stones. However, because of the existence of the guardian, they dare not openly invade and use the resources on human territory, so they have to rely on the prince's help!

After the two men had prepared everything, they went around and checked.

After finishing, he walked out of the cave and left towards the outside.

Ye Qingchen walked out and looked at the sky outside the cave with an evil smile: "You guys go hurry up and I'll be waiting here. When you move in the ground fire cauldron, I, Mr. Ye, will be welcome!"

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you have a wide view and can just see the entrance of Wufeng Gorge.

"Huh?" Ye Qingchen was surprised to find that the two people who just left here did not leave, but stopped at the place where the cable bridge was originally built.

I saw the two of them first laying two iron piles on the opposite bank, then flying to the river, picking up one end of the iron cable bridge that had fallen into the river, and retying it to the iron piles.

The iron cable bridge that had been destroyed by Ye Qingchen was once again spanned over the fast-flowing river.

Ye Qingchen thought to himself, it seems that my guess is correct. It must be that the Earth Fire Cauldron is extremely heavy and cannot be lifted and flown even with their strength. So they had to repair the chain bridge, and after transporting it across the river, they could pull it up with the help of ropes installed in the cave.

After the two men repaired the bridge, they flew away in the southeast direction.

After a while, I saw two horses galloping across the river.

Because the distance was too far, the faces and clothes of the two people could not be seen clearly, and it was impossible to use spiritual consciousness to detect whether they were spiritual monks.
