The matter of the Beast Demon Lake Trial was considered as a top priority among the recent young disciples of Greencloud City. After Lin Jian had gone through the Clear Sky Feast, he had actually leapt to the front of the stage, attracting everyone's attention. They had initially heard that Lin Jian would not come participate in this trial, but now, they had met him again in the Wasteland. For a moment, everyone was astonished, but at the same time, some thoughts emerged in their hearts.

"Could it be, that Lin Jian also came for that ancient ruin?"

It was unknown how many such legends had appeared since ancient times. Especially since the start of the trials at the Demonic Beast Lake, it had reached a peak of public opinion. Most people naturally did not believe this, and had long since gotten used to it.

At this moment, he took a step forward and looked at Lin Jian. A cold, unfriendly snort came out of his nose as he stared at him.

Lin Jian did not expect to meet these people here, and upon sensing their vigilance, he shook his head, because at the moment, he still had matters to attend to, Cao Manager and the Master Song were still trapped inside the cave, so he did not have any intentions of interacting with them, after nodding his head, he planned to borrow them to leave.

But...

He only saw that the Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple laughed coldly and asked: "To be able to meet her here, it seems that we have the same idea. You must also be here for the Ancient Era's Remnants from the rumors, right?"

"Ancient ruins?"

Lin Jian had never heard of such a thing before, so he was naturally confused at this moment. He shook his head: "You're mistaken, I've never heard of any ancient remains.

"Ha ha!"

Yang Fan did not plan to let him go, and said: "These words of yours have the intent of concealing the truth, previously I said that I was not going to participate in the trial, in the end, it was during the trial, I sneaked over, if I said I did not have any ulterior motives, I'm afraid no one would believe me, right?"

Lin Jian frowned, he wanted to commit a heinous crime, why was there no excuse, was he throwing dirty water on his head?

Amongst the crowd, Bai Luohan's eyes were gloomy, cold, carrying a taunting look, and also some anticipation. As for the two brothers, Lin Chen and Lin Yan, they really wanted to eat him alive. Now that they saw Yang Fan going against them, they were extremely happy. As for Gongsun Waner, her beautiful face was filled with indifference.

"Heh."

Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm afraid I have no choice but to refuse right?"

"Hmph, it's good that you know this."

Yang Fan nodded his head, and directly made the matter clear: "I just felt that your actions were strange, and that your appearance in this place was extremely abnormal, maybe it is related to the ruins. Before we finish exploring the ruins, it would be best for you not to think of leaving our field of vision, otherwise …"

At the end, he let out a cold sneer. The threat in his words was obvious.

Lin Jian heaved a sigh of relief, and could not help but remain silent.

This was really bad luck.

Although it was just a coincidence, Yang Fan and the rest believed that he had a trick up his sleeves, and could not let him leave. If he left by force, it would only make them more convinced of his suspicions, and if they fought face to face, he was not a match for the Mortal Realm warrior.

"I can only hope that you Master Song can hold on a little longer …"

Lin Jian had no choice but to join the party and sigh in his heart.

Soon after, the group of people continued on their way.

At first, Lin Jian's entrance made these young masters and young misses surprised, but after walking for a while, and discovering that Lin Jian did not do anything abnormal, their attention returned to the ancient ruins, and started a lively discussion.

Lin Jian listened to the discussions of the crowd. Towards the mysterious ancient ruins, he already had a basic outline and grasped some basic information, nothing more than the cave that the Jindan Stage Cultivator of many years ago left behind before he passed away in meditation.

There were more than a dozen similar stories in the Greencloud City, but none of them were actually true. What was the reason why they were so excited and so convinced?

In the crowd, Bai Luohan was sneering to himself. He rarely spoke along the way, and the way he occasionally looked at everyone was as if he was a hunter watching his prey slowly walk into a trap.

"I wonder why …"

With a trace of doubt, everyone continued forward.

Before long, they arrived at a mysterious canyon surrounded by bare black rocks. A radius of ten miles was completely barren without any vegetation. The entire world seemed to have been cursed by the god of death, without a single trace of greenery.

Although the surrounding environment of the Demonic Beast Lake was affected by the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and Demonic Beast's aura, it was not to this extent. Everyone stepped into the canyon and felt the surrounding desolation. A cold chill unconsciously surged through their hearts.

"This should be the entrance to the relic right?"

Someone spread out the map.

Yang Fan nodded his head and said: "This place is pretty close to the topography described in the rumors. The Jindan Stage Cultivator that fell here back then was an elder of my Profound Spirit Sect's nineteenth generation who was proficient in alchemy and was an Earth Grade alchemist. There was a strong spirit medicine in the cave that could absorb the spirit energy in the surroundings and cause not a single blade of grass to grow within a five kilometer radius.

Muttering to himself, Yang Fan looked around at everyone, and said: "Let's find the mechanism to open the relic, if we see any special runes or stone tablets, immediately call for people."

Everyone heard this and dispersed in search for the entrance to the relic.

This was because, even at this moment, there were several Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple staring at him with malicious intent in their eyes.

However, after arriving here, Lin Jian's expression became somewhat strange.

"I finally understand why there is such a familiar feeling."

Lin Jian could not help but shake his head and laugh.

At this moment, his breathing became a little heavier, and together with the other young men and women, he scattered within the canyon, pretending to look for something. But in reality, his target was already a stone tablet.

"Found it!"

After Bai Luohan put on an act for a while, he pressed his hand on the stone tablet.

After circulating his Origin Energy, a droning sound suddenly rang out.

Subsequently, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

They saw that on the side of the gorge, the precipitous mountain walls began to tremble, and rubble began to rustle down. In between the rumbling of the mountain, a dark and hidden entrance was revealed.

When everyone heard the commotion, they immediately rushed over, Yang Fan did not care who was at the entrance to the ruins, upon seeing the mechanism being activated, their eyes immediately lit up, and immediately called out, rushing into the cave first, the rest of them did not hesitate, and followed behind.

A group of people entered in a line and rushed into the remnants left behind by the Jindan Stage Cultivator.

"This place really reminds me of something."

Lin Jian sighed, under the gazes of a few Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple s, he walked ahead with satisfaction and entered the cave.

When a beam of light shone on the end of the road, a dense forest appeared in front of them. No one would have thought that in this dark cave, there was actually a forest.

"What a rich medicinal fragrance!"

Gongsun Waner took a deep breath of the air here and blinked her beautiful eyes.

This was clearly a herb garden. The surroundings were only the most common medicinal herbs, yet it was filled with them. The air was filled with a medicinal fragrance, making one feel refreshed just by inhaling a breath of air.

However …

The real highlight was the center of the herb garden, where a spirit field was meticulously reared. There were only three plants on it, and each plant bore a fruit.

"That's a abomasum fructus!"

Everyone took a deep breath, holding it in as they exclaimed in unison.
