Chapter 283: Autumn Pavilion Market

t Soul, which is quite rare.Qin Sang didn't understand the art of puppetry, but he could give it to Qing Jun. Perhaps in the future, there could be another great general.This hasty attack, and failing...The ancient cultivator's dwelling where Qiuhongfang market is located, is divided into an inner and outer layer.

Because of Qīnghōng Fáng's fame, people got used to calling the cave dwelling after it.

The outer layer is beyond the guarding great formation, which is the true Autumn Crimson Pavilion Market.

As the restrictions gradually weakened over time, and for various reasons, it was discovered first and built into a market by the owner of Qiuhongfang, to conceal its true nature.

Later, the market was destroyed by the Cloud Beasts. The place became ruins, and the remaining restrictions were shattered by the Cloud Beasts, leaving no possibility of repair. Thus, it was completely abandoned and exposed to the world, becoming a nest for the Cloud Beasts.

So, during each low tide of guarding the Grand Formation, when everyone gathers at Qiuhongfang Market, they first join forces to clean up the cloud beasts that lurk here.

The Guardian Array isn't really that complicated. Inside the array, there are elements of wind, water, fire, and earth, all in balance with yin and yang's cycle. Every time you enter the array, the formations you encounter will be different.

Yu Kong merely gave a brief account of his previous encounter, stating that it was unlikely he would face the same formation this time.

Yu Kong focused on, and what everyone was most concerned about, were the several treasure locations within the cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling's original form was a towering mountain. Though grand in size, the mountain had been thoroughly explored by people. There were five locations that were widely recognized as crucial places where treasures were believed to exist.

The first place to be discovered, and the most treasured by the owner of the cave dwelling, was a place known as the Hall of Offerings.

The offering hall doesn't have any plaques, but it is built on the mountaintop, the highest point of the entire grotto. Moreover, a clay statue is enshrined inside the hall, indicating the grotto master's deep respect for the statue.

Many people suspected that the clay sculpture was most likely the ancestor of the cave master, so it was also called the Ancestor Hall.

Because the Hall of Offerings was located in a special place and held great significance, it was very conspicuous. At the beginning, this hall became the primary target for intruders. The restrictions on the hall were broken early on, and all the treasures stored inside, which were all of excellent quality, were swept away.

Later, many people still came to the main hall to search back and forth, even uncovering the clay statue. They found that it had been thoroughly looted, so they left this place in peace.

Now only a few people come to try their luck.

Then there is a special existence second only to the Hall of Offerings, called the Secret Transmission Jade Bi, embedded in the mountain cliff behind the temple.

Meditating before the Mystical Jade Tablet grants a chance to receive an inheritance from the cave master.

It is said that a Jindan cultivator once tried to take the jade bi away, but his palm struck the mountain cliff and failed to harm the jade bi in the slightest. Instead, he was injured by the prohibition, and then nothing more was heard of it.

However, to this day, no one knows what the conditions for inheriting are. The bigger possibility is that they get nothing and end up sitting there until the protective formation almost fully recovers, forcing them to leave, making this trip a waste of time.

Therefore, very few people who go to the Secret Transmission Jade Tablet now truly understand it.

Besides, there are seven places similar to Lingbao Pavilion scattered throughout the mountains. These seven places are also the main target for those entering the cave today.

In the Lingbao Pavilion, there are talismans, elixirs, and jade slips, but the treasures and restrictions in the seven Lingbao Pavilions have significant differences.

Sometimes, the amount of harvest is not only determined by ability but also by luck.

Yu Kong made no secret of his goal: a Ling Bao Pavilion located on the back mountain.

First, because the Lingbao Pavilion was the farthest and had strong restrictions, fewer people would participate in the competition. Secondly, he had been there before and had experience, so this time he was confident that he could obtain more treasures.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, another group of people has rushed past. Perhaps there’s been a change at the Qiuhong Pavilion Market. We should hurry up!”

Everyone watched as a dozen streaks of light zipped past the edge of their vision, heading straight for Qiuhongfang Market. The old man Mu Teng seemed unable to contain his excitement and asked in pursuit.

Here is the translated text:

It's no wonder that Elder Mùtén was so eager. In the past two days, they had been overtaken by this group of people not just once. It seemed that the guardian formation of Qiūhóngfáng City had undergone some new changes.

Yu Kong looked around and said, "It seems that you all share the same idea as Mu Teng Daoist friend. Then let's get going."

Countless Cloud Beasts perch in the mountains.

Time passed, and this place became a cloud beast's den, with no trace of Qiuhongfang city left.

In the middle of the beast enclosure, there was a broken mountain.

The peak had collapsed due to external forces, revealing a jagged precipice. In the center of the precipice lay a bottomless circular pit, constantly emitting beams of various colors. Within these beams were flashes of hurricane winds and flames, among other strange phenomena.

Those cloud beasts were very afraid of the light and did not dare to approach it, which shows that the power of the light is not weak.

The grotto is the entrance to the cave dwelling. It was originally concealed by a magical seal, but after being destroyed during the Autumn Crimson Market it was exposed.

Entering the cave will lead you into the Guardian Array, though it's still at its peak power.

When the trough arrives, these lights will become very dim, almost unable to break out of the range of the cave. At that time, the power of the guardian formation will be greatly reduced, which is the best time to enter the formation.

At this time, on the peaks in the distance of Duanshan Mountain, many cultivators had already gathered. Most came in groups, and there were few lone wolves.

Qin Sang followed Yu Kong, occupying a low peak, his gaze falling on the cave.

He knew little about the guardians of the great formation and couldn't discern anything. His gaze shifted until he found Ge Yuan and Yun Youzi. The three exchanged glances before silently averting their eyes, acting like complete strangers.

"No wonder all these old ghosts have arrived, in another half month at most, the trough will come!"

Yu Kong stared intently for a long time, arriving at this conclusion. Then, he murmured to himself, "It's time to clean up the cloud beasts."

Although there are many Cloud Beasts here, more and more cultivators are gathering here, and each one is not weak in strength. It only takes some time to clean up the Cloud Beasts.

As expected, as soon as Yu Kong finished speaking, a Foundation Establishment Stage late cultivator leaped into the air and shouted, "Fellow cultivators above the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, let's join forces to take down the cloud beast leader. Other fellow cultivators, work together to encircle and kill the cloud beasts. The spoils of war belong to whoever kills the cloud beasts. The real treasures are in the cave dwelling, everyone don't let petty gains ruin our harmony."

The old man was highly respected, and his words were immediately met with a response.

Yu Kong didn't dare disobey the elder's order. He turned his head and whispered to them, "Don't get separated, support each other, and stay alert. There are too many cloud beasts. Once the battle begins, the situation will be chaotic. It's not uncommon for people to be ambushed."

Qin Sang and the others had already practiced many times, immediately forming a battle formation. With the strongest among them, Elder Mutou, leading the way, the Xiu sisters cooperated seamlessly as rearguards, not giving anyone with ill intentions a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Yu Kong nodded, feeling relieved. Just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly spoke sarcastically from his left: “Old Ghost Yu, you’re really scared of death, aren’t you Gathering so many people, have you already chosen a few to be your scapegoats”

A beam of light stopped in front of the crowd, it was Sheng Yuanzi! her struggle against the brand. In the end, heaven rewarded the diligent, and she found her path in Buddhist teachings, yet a demonic voice blocked her way, almost severing the immortal path in this...
