After walking for less than ten minutes, Chen Miao spotted a large stone that had been cut flat.
The stone looked ordinary, but Chen Miao sensed the yin energy within it.
The yin energy in the mountain hollow was already dense, but compared with that stone, it seemed far too sparse.

Though puzzled, Murakami Shinji stayed.
Once they were in position, Honda Taichi smiled
