Rebirth: I was born into the Golden Elixir Stage

"Strange." Zhou Yue and his group no longer focused their attention on the two pairs of footprints, but came to the main courtyard. The main courtyard was in a mess, and the place where spiritual plants were supposed to be planted had been completely looted.

Seeing this scene, Sun Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaimed. "It seems that everything here has been taken away. Has someone been here?"

"It should... not be..." Zhou Yue walked to the soil that had been dug up from a spiritual plant, grabbed a handful of soil, and squeezed it in his hand. "We rushed here as soon as this cave appeared. There was no one in front of us."

"So... Brother Zhou, what you mean is...?" Ouyang Zhengnan asked after hearing Zhou Yue's judgment, "Were these spiritual plants destroyed before the cave fell into the ground?"

"That's right." Zhou Yue nodded confidently, "It looks like the cave was looted before it was sealed."

"Then according to what Brother Zhou said, there should be nothing in here." Ouyang Zhengnan supported his chin with one hand and looked at Zhou Yue slowly with an inquiring look.

"Maybe." Zhou Yue was also a little uncertain, "Maybe they left some treasure behind."

"Okay!" Ouyang Zhengnan crossed his arms and said to Zhou Yue with great trust, "Since Brother Zhou said so, I will look for it and see if I can find any treasure. I will go this way now, you guys can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Ouyang Zhengnan turned and left, leaving Zhou Yue and his group standing there in a daze.

“Brother Zhou, do we really want to go in and look for it?” Li Nuannuan saw that the place was in a mess, almost even the trees had been cleared away. It looked like there was no treasure at all. Li Nuannuan didn’t want to waste time here, so she mustered up the courage to go forward and persuade them, “Brother Zhou, Sister Sun, you can see that this place seems to have been looted. There are no treasures left. I...I don’t want to waste my time in a cave with nothing in it.”

Li Nuannuan's words immediately made several of the previously silent brothers stand up. They said one after another, "Yes! This cave obviously has nothing in it. Let's go!"

"The least valuable thing in a cave is the spiritual plants. Look, there are no spiritual plants here. I guess everything inside has been taken away. Brother Zhou, let's leave here and head to Phoenix Mountain. Maybe we can find the Phoenix flower. As long as we find the Phoenix flower, maybe... we can hope to get a Phoenix spiritual pet."

A group of people advised him, and Zhou Yue was a little hesitant. After all, the things in the cave would be priceless treasures once he got them. How could he not be tempted? However, the phoenix flower also made him extremely excited.

The Poinciana tree blooms once every ten thousand years, and at one time the entire tree is covered with blossoms. However, the only truly useful Poinciana flowers are the ones at the highest point of the tree.

It is said that the phoenix will not roost unless it is on the phoenix tree, but some people have also seen a phoenix on a phoenix tree.

There is also a legend that when the phoenix flowers are in full bloom, the phoenix will come back and pick up the top flower, taking it back and hiding it.

Today, no one has ever seen the legendary paulownia tree, only the phoenix tree has stood here for tens of thousands of years.

Zhou Yue and his companions came here not only for other opportunities, but also for this phoenix tree.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and when the secret realm opens, it will be the time when the phoenix flowers are in full bloom.

When Sun Miaomiao saw her fellow apprentices urging her, she rolled her eyes at Li Nuannuan in annoyance.

"Where Senior Brother Zhou wants to go is his own business. If you want to find the Phoenix Tree, can't you just go there by yourselves?"

Sun Miaomiao's words immediately made everyone silent.

This is because most of them are only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. If Zhou Yue, who is in the late stage of the Golden Core, had not been in charge, they would have surely died.

Seeing that the others were silent, Sun Miaomiao walked to Zhou Yue and comforted him, "Brother, don't listen to them, I listen to you! If you are willing to stay here, I will stay here. If you don't want to, we will leave."

Zhou Yue frowned and thought deeply, of course he wanted the things in the cave, but the purpose of their trip was the phoenix flower. There were only five days left before the day of departure. If they couldn't get the phoenix flower, they would have to wait four years for the next time.

After a struggle, Zhou Yue made up his mind, "Let's go! Let's go get the phoenix flowers."

"That's great." Li Nuannuan danced with joy and held Zhou Yue's arm tightly with both hands. "Brother Zhou, let's go."

"Hmph!" Sun Miaomiao looked at Li Nuannuan's petite and cute appearance and felt unhappy. She rolled her eyes and followed Zhou Yue.

"It seems someone has been here before." Seeing that Zhou Yue was about to leave, Zhang Wusun and his group walked into the gate in a mighty manner.

They looked at the main courtyard, which was in a mess and almost hollowed out, with great rage.

Zhou Yue suddenly had a bad premonition. He stretched out a hand to block his fellow apprentices. With a nervous look on his face, he whispered to Sun Miaomiao, "If something goes wrong later, run immediately!"

"You must have found a lot of treasures here..." Zhang Wusun said provocatively, "How about we make a deal and split the treasures in here in half?"

The tone was threatening and a war was about to break out.

In order to avoid wasting time on this group of people, Zhou Yue stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sorry, we didn't get any treasures here. This is what it looked like when we first entered."

"That's right! If you don't believe it, you can go find Fellow Daoist Ouyang." Seeing that Zhang Wusun seemed unconvinced, Li Nuannuan quickly stepped forward and said.

After hearing this, Zhou Yue pushed her back and signaled her to shut up with his eyes.

"Oh, so there are people from the Ouyang family." After hearing this, Zhang Wusun not only did not retreat, but the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger.

"Don't worry, I'll look for it when the time comes. But now... I want to see your things."

After saying that, the people behind Zhang Wusun immediately rushed forward and started fighting with Zhou Yue and his group.

Meanwhile, Chen Diji was still searching for the treasure quickly.

They'll be here soon, I have to hurry!

Whenever Chen Diji found a treasure, he would put it into his storage bag. In just a short while, he had walked through more than a dozen rooms. Wherever he passed, he would search through them all without carefully exploring.

Mine, mine, all mine.

Chen Diji kept stuffing things into the storage bag, and he was extremely happy.

"I knew it was you."

Just as Chen Diji was happily packing his things, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Chen Diji looked back and saw a tall and thin man with an upright posture and handsome appearance standing behind him, holding a long sword in his hand and wearing a jade pendant on his waist.

"It's been such a short time since we last met, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Seeing Chen Diji's confused look, Ouyang Zhengnan couldn't help but tease him.

When Chen Diji saw the slightly familiar face, he gradually remembered this person.

Isn't he the person I saw when I first entered the secret realm? I seemed to...see him kill someone!

Chen Diji was thinking in his mind, but his hands did not stop. After he stuffed the last bowl here into the storage bag, he pulled it hard, turned around and left with the storage bag, but he kept muttering in his heart.

What does he want from me?

No way...you want to kill me to silence me!
