Ye Feng restrained his aura and walked towards the entrance of Fangshi without hesitation.
He could feel that there were several powerful auras hidden in this small gathering of fallen crows, some of which even reached the late stage of Golden Core. It seems that this place is indeed a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it is also an outpost for various forces to gather information about the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Interesting, it seems that this trip to the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons will not be too boring." Ye Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked into Luo Ya Ji.
He planned to find an inn to stay first, and then slowly find out the news. At the same time, he also wanted to see what tricks those enemies hiding in the dark would play. He has the warning from the origin of the dragon soul and the trump card of death, so he is not afraid of any ambush.
As soon as he entered the market, a mixed aura of medicinal herbs, monster materials, and auras of various magical weapons hit his face. Both sides of the street were filled with various stalls. The monks gathered together in twos and threes, bargaining or exchanging information, which seemed quite lively.
Ye Feng took a casual glance and found that most of the items sold here were related to the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, such as miasma-avoiding pills, detoxification pills, various magical tools for hunting monsters, and some incomplete peripheral maps of the ancient tomb, etc.
Just when he was about to find an inn to stay, a slight throbbing suddenly came from the origin of the dragon soul in his consciousness!
His eyes narrowed and he looked calmly in the direction where the throbbing came from. In front of an inconspicuous stall in the corner of the market, an old man with a stooped body, wrinkles on his face, and shabby animal skins was feebly guarding a few inconspicuous gray-black stones.
The surface of those stones is full of pits and has no spiritual energy fluctuations. They look like ordinary rocks that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
However, Ye Feng’s Dragon Soul Origin sensed an extremely weak but extremely pure wave of demonic power from one of the fist-sized stones! That demonic power was vast and ancient, with a hint of blood and violence.
"This is..." Ye Feng's heart moved and he walked quickly towards the stall. He had a strong hunch that this inconspicuous stone might have some connection with the goal of his trip!
He walked slowly and calmly towards the stall.
When the old man saw someone coming, he just raised his cloudy eyelids and said feebly: "This fellow Taoist, just take a look. No credit is required."
Ye Feng squatted down and looked at the stones carefully.
As his spiritual sense detected, these stones did not have any spiritual power fluctuations, and were not even as good as ordinary mountain rocks. There was a light layer of dust attached to them, and they looked extremely ordinary.
However, when his fingers lightly touched one of the stones, a strong feeling came from the origin of the dragon soul in his mind again!
That’s it!
Ye Feng remained calm on the surface, showing no signs of anything unusual.
He picked up the stone and weighed it. It was heavy and cold in his hands.
"Old man, where did you pick up this stone?" Hearing this, the old man pointed with trembling fingers to the west: "Outskirts of the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Monsters. When I was young, I went there to try my luck, and almost lost my life. These stones were picked up at that time and have never been lost."
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and it was indeed related to the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Monsters.
He carefully observed the stone and found that there were some ancient and obscure lines vaguely carved on it. However, due to the material of the stone and the erosion of time, these lines were almost difficult to identify.
"Old man, how do you sell these stones?" Ye Feng asked.
The old man thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers: "A low-grade spiritual stone."
A low-grade spiritual stone? Ye Feng was a little surprised.
It stands to reason that no one would want such a seemingly useless stone, but this old man actually dared to ask for a low-grade spiritual stone. However, considering that he just said that he picked it up outside the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, he might want to get some of the reputation of the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons and ask for a tentative price.
"Well, the price is not expensive." Ye Feng nodded, then picked up a few more stones and looked at them. He found that there were similar ancient patterns on the other stones, but the reaction was far less strong than the first one.
"Old man, I want all these rocks." Ye Feng said.
The old man didn't seem to expect that Ye Feng would ask for everything. A trace of surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes, but he soon regained his composure. "Brother has a good eye. Five pieces in total are five low-grade spiritual stones."
Ye Feng didn't say much, and took out five low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to the old man. The old man took the spirit stone, put it away carefully, then wrapped the stones in a rag and handed them to Ye Feng. "Brother, this Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons is extremely dangerous. It's better not to set foot in it unless necessary." He reminded, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me." Ye Feng nodded and put the stone into the storage bag. He always felt that the old man was not as simple as he seemed, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. However, the most important thing right now was the stones and the abnormalities he sensed.
Farewell to the old man, Ye Feng walked around Luoyaoji and found out some rumors about the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons.
It is said that the ancient tomb is full of demons and dangers. There are not only powerful monsters, but also various ancient restrictions and traps. There are even rumors that there are huge treasures of the demon clan buried deep in the ancient tombs, but they are also accompanied by shocking dangers. Many monks have recently entered the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, but very few have come out alive.
This information is basically consistent with what he learned from the Tianji Sect's classics, and there is not much new idea.
However, he also noticed that there were many monks in the city who were in a hurry. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to come from different sects.
Obviously, the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons is also a resource that all parties compete for.
Ye Feng did not rush into the Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, but found a relatively clean looking inn to stay in Luoyaji. After entering the room, he immediately set up a soundproofing and aura-concealing formation, and then eagerly took out the stones from the storage bag.
He first picked up the stone with the strongest throbbing of the dragon soul and looked at it carefully. In the secret room that was isolated from the outside world, he was finally able to completely sink his consciousness into it and explore deeply.
When his consciousness came into contact with the inside of the stone, a majestic and ancient wave surged into his mind instantly! That is not spiritual power, but a more primitive and pure energy, which contains a huge amount of information!
This information is intermittent and extremely fragmented, as if it is a fragment of memory that has been covered in dust for countless years. Ye Feng worked hard to sort out this information and found that most of it was related to the demon clan, and even some lost demon clan inheritance and techniques!
This stone... turns out to be the carrier of some kind of demon clan's inheritance.
