The Rise of the Shen Family

Chapter 490 Finding a Needle in a Haystack

The mountains that rise from the ground are like giants standing between the sky and the earth, and the rolling mountains are like giant dragons crawling on the ground.

Between the vast mountains, there are primeval forests that cover the sky and the sun, and the roars of monsters are constantly heard from the forests resounding through the sky.

Standing on the top of a mountain, Shen Ruiling looked at the ancient mountain forest in front of him, and felt an ancient and wild aura coming toward him.

"This is the Juelong Ridge..."

His expression was solemn, his eyes looked at the lofty mountains, and he murmured.

This Juelong Ridge can be designated as a forbidden area in the "Dongtian Ruins" by the upper levels of Qingyunmen, and it is naturally reasonable to prohibit the disciples below the late stage of foundation establishment from entering it.

It's just a bunch of monsters dancing around here!

After Shen Ruiling stopped on the top of the mountain for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and went directly to the west of Juelongling.

The map he got from the dead monk in the tree hole was incomplete, so he could only roughly identify a location, and this location pointed to an area west of Juelong Ridge.

Shen Ruiling's figure moved quickly in the dense jungle, and at the same time, he was also carefully searching for the treasures growing in the dense forest.

However, there are often monsters around these treasures. The higher the quality of the treasures, the stronger the monsters living around them.

Along the way, whenever he sees the treasures of heaven and earth that make his heart flutter, Shen Ruiling will try his best to get them.

Relying on the advantage of his own movement speed, he can smoothly steal the treasures they guard from some clumsy monsters.

Although it was inevitable that he would be chased for a while, for Shen Ruiling, being able to easily get a treasure was nothing.

Of course, if encountering those monsters that guard the treasures of heaven and earth, Shen Ruiling would hunt them down without hesitation and take them away with the treasures they guard.

The scales, fur, bones, etc. on these monsters can be brought back for Zhao Jie to refine into spiritual tools, and those blood essence can be used by him to cultivate [Vientiane Demon Scale Pattern], as for the most useless flesh and blood can also be used to serve as food for the Soul Eater Tarantula.

With Shen Ruiling's current strength and means, as long as he doesn't encounter a monster of the third-order peak or the fourth-order or higher, he can solve it.

So after just half a day, he has already harvested more than ten kinds of various treasures in his storage bag.

However, just as he was secretly delighted, three unfamiliar cultivators suddenly appeared within the range of his divine sense.

Shen Ruiling stopped, and his face became a little gloomy.

These three people are coming for him!

His eyes looked straight ahead, and a hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures appeared in front of him.

An old man who had cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, a middle-aged man who had cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building, and a woman in the early stage of foundation building beside him.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles like dry bark. He was obviously quite old.

As for the man in the middle stage of foundation building, he looked like he was in his fifties and wore a blue shirt.

Tightly wrapping the strong muscles on the body, it gives a sense of leanness.

The remaining woman, Shen Ruiling just glanced at it briefly.

At first glance, the woman's Fendai aura still looks pretty, but there seems to be a lingering look in her eyes.

"The old man has seen fellow Daoist!"

The old man was the first to bow to Shen Ruiling, and then the man and the woman also bowed.

They only noticed that a cultivator was coming here before, and they didn't know the strength of the comer's cultivation.

Now that he noticed the aura of the middle stage of foundation building on Shen Ruiling's body, the old man's heart relaxed.

Shen Ruiling slightly cupped his hands and asked in a deep voice:

"I don't know what the three fellow Taoists are blocking the way down for?"

Although he didn't feel the killing intent from these three people, being inexplicably blocked his way still made him be careful.

Seemingly seeing through Shen Ruiling's thoughts, the old man named the head hurriedly laughed and began to introduce himself.

"The old surname is Wang, this is Fellow Daoist Chu, this is Fellow Daoist Feng, and fellow Daoist Chu, the three of us are all loose cultivators in the offshore waters."

After listening to the old man's introduction, Shen Ruiling just nodded slightly and didn't answer.

Shen Ruiling's indifference made the old man quite embarrassed, so he had to continue speaking:

"This mountain is extremely dangerous, and there are countless third-order monsters living in it. The Taoist friend can walk here alone, and he is already surprised."

The old man paused and looked at Shen Ruiling again, but the latter's face showed no emotion at all.

He continued to persuade him:

"However, if you want to move on, it won't be easy. The front is already in the depths of this mountain, and the living monsters have already reached the third-order high-grade level."

...

"The three of us would like to invite fellow Daoists to gather the strength of the four of us into the depths of the mountain range to search for more cherished treasures."

"When the four of us are together, even if we encounter a monster at the peak of the third-order peak, we will be able to fight, and the harvest will naturally not be small."

After listening to the old man saying so much, Shen Ruiling understood the other party's intentions.

These three people are nothing more than coveting the heaven and earth treasures in the depths of Juelongling, but they are afraid of the high-level monsters in it, so they want to recruit people into the team to achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win effect.

If he hadn't gotten the incomplete map before, he might have gone to the depths of Juelongling with these three people.

But he already has a goal now, and naturally he won't wander around in this Juelongling like a headless fly like them.

"I'm sorry, the three of you. The next person is used to going alone and not used to collective action. The three fellow Daoists should go find someone else."

Shen Ruiling rejected them directly, leaving no room for relaxation.

Facing Shen Ruiling's stern refusal, the three old men couldn't help but look at each other, obviously feeling a little surprised.

In their opinion, although Shen Ruiling wouldn't agree immediately, he wouldn't reject it so early.

After all, it is better to follow them into the depths to obtain more cherished treasures than to wander around outside.

"Fellow……"

Just as the old man was about to persuade, Shen Ruiling directly cupped his hands and said:

"Goodbye everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, his figure swept into the depths of the jungle.

Looking at the direction Shen Ruiling was leaving, the woman complained unhappily:

"Old Wang, this person is too ignorant of praise!"

Hearing what his Taoist companion said, the man surnamed Chu also frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little unhappy with Shen Ruiling's rude behavior just now.

On the other side, the old man's eyes were fixed on the direction where Shen Ruiling was leaving, and there seemed to be a trace of condensed color in those turbid eyes.

After hearing the woman's complaint, he turned his head and said:

"Although this person's aura is only in the middle stage of foundation building, the feeling he just stood here gave me was extremely dangerous."

Hearing this, the man and the woman couldn't help but look at each other with shock in their eyes.

The old man didn't care about the two of them. After looking at the direction where Shen Ruiling was leaving, he swept away in another direction.

...

Here, after Shen Ruiling jumped for a stick of incense in the forest, he stopped and looked behind him.

After discovering that the three people were not following, he was relieved and took out the incomplete map to identify the direction.

At this point, he had almost arrived at the area roughly indicated on the map.

The terrain here is continuous with hills, ravines and valleys scattered among them, and it is impossible to know where to look for the possible opportunities.

Shen Ruiling couldn't help shaking his head, he seemed to regret coming here.

But now there is no other way, since we have already arrived here, we can only go in and see the situation.

After resting on the spot for a while, Shen Ruiling entered the mountain range and began to search intentionally or unintentionally.

He has already decided that even if he doesn't find any chance, he will take all the treasures that can be taken away from here.
