Old Ghost Xuan Yin cast Jiang Bei a sidelong glance. Seeing his pale face, he gave a sinister chuckle. "But don't worry, kid. This Old Man walks the jianghu with one word above all else—'trust'! Last time I came in, I really did see the Azure Sea Jade Sky Pill in that area. It was just that my own treasure was more important then, so I had no time to bother with it! It's most likely still hiding in the same old spot. I'll take you there now."
Then, as if recalling something, he grinned teasingly at Jiang Bei. "What? You're this anxious because that Nether Profound Calamity Curse has bored into your heart and bones, and the pain's become unbearable? Hehehe, endure it, kid. This Old Man keeps his word and never deceives people! I said I'd help you find the pill, and I definitely will!"
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Bei and strode swiftly toward the depths of the relic.
Jiang Bei's gaze was ice-cold as he silently followed behind.
The relic was strewn with opportunities, but danger lurked on every side.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few cultivators who had also entered in search of treasure. Their gazes were wary, and they kept a safe distance from one another. Yet so long as no treasure lay before them, most remained at peace.
Still, several places had erupted into fierce battles for spoils, with screams and the sounds of clashing blows ringing without end.
Old Ghost Xuan Yin did not even spare those fights a glance, his face full of disdain.
"Hmph, a pile of worthless junk, and they're fighting until their heads crack over it? I'd think it took up space even if I stuffed it into my Cosmic Bag!"
About half an hour
