Hearing the young man on the other side ask that question, Fang Qiying's expression darkened as well. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke, his tone extraordinarily grave.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, for the sake of the times we've helped each other, this Fang will speak frankly. This place is fraught with danger. Unless there's some necessity, it would be best not to venture deeper."
"Could it be that, apart from the Restrictive Spells established by the ancient Divine Medicine Sect, there are other hidden circumstances?"
Seeing Fang Qiying's expression, Qin Fengming's heart gave a jolt as well. From what he knew of Fang Qiying, the man was no shrinking violet. Back when he had still been a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had already dared to venture into regions that only Core Formation cultivators dared enter.
He had even dared to snatch treasures from Core Formation cultivators. A man with such courage would certainly not be intimidated and held back merely because the ancient Restrictive Spells here were about to run out of energy.
"Heh heh. Hidden circumstances? This place can't be explained merely by saying there are hidden circumstances. You must understand that this place was once the site of the ancient Divine Medicine Sect. Even if most of the treasures within have already been plundered, the fact that so many intact Restrictive Spells remain here proves that quite a few areas have yet to be discovered. It is entirely possible that ancient treasures powerful enough to make Nascent Soul cultivators covet them are hidden within."
"So there's no doubt something strange is going on here. But why would the three foremost sects of Linzhou hand such a natural treasure over to others? I hope Fellow Cultivator Fang can tell this Qin a thing or two about the reason."
