“What does Grand Uncle want to pass to us?” Guo Liang asked. Whatever it would be, even if it wasn’t great, it would be better than anything that was from these lands. Then again, would things from the Divine Devil Valley be terrible? As Yun Yi looked at Guo Liang’s anxious expressions, he said, “How is it that you’re still this jumpy and anxious at this age?”
“Heheh.” Guo Liang rubbed the back of his head, saying, “Older Brother Yun Yi, you do like to leave me hanging.”
“There definitely are some pills, spirit equipment and some one-time use arrays. You probably will not be able to use the other things.” Yun Yi then took out a space ring and presented it to Guo Pei Pei and said, “Everything is inside here.”
Guo Pei Pei received the space ring, and as she focused her energy to look at what was inside, she was left shocked and was only able to come to her senses after a while. “How did we get so many great things when Grand Uncle is someone from the outer parts of the Valley?”
“Previously your Grand Uncle had won the favour the elders, and these things are probably the rewards given to him from within the Valley, I think. Also, when I was leaving, I heard that your Grand Uncle may become the Inner Valley’s disciple.” Yun Yi said.
“Really?!” As the Guo family heard the news they were filled with joy. If their Grand Uncle could enter the Inner Valley, then their family clan would also increase in their prominence.
Yun Yi nodded.
“That’s great!” Guo Fu jumped excitedly. As he watched their joyful celebrations, Yun Yi gazed to the side, asking, “These people are not from your family, right?”
“Looks like I have forgotten to introduce you.” Guo Pei Pei smacked her forehead. “These are the friends that we met yesterday. This is Wei Zi Qi, Ouyang Fei, Fatty, Beigong Tang, Little Tu, Sima You Le and Sima You Yue.”
As he heard Sima You Yue’s name, Yun Yi’s eyes glistened. “Sima You Yue from the Yi Lin Continent?”
“Brother Yun Yi, do you know him?” Guo Pei Pei and the rest were surprised. She did not remember mentioning that they were from the Yi Lin Continent as she was introducing them.
Yun Yi looked at Sima You Yue’s ring, and was surprised. He bowed to her, saying “This Yun disciple Yun Yi greets Young Master.”
With this salutation, everyone was shocked, and turned their heads to look at Sima You Yue.
“Hm, you may rise.” Sima You Yue touched her nose. That was the right thing to say, right?
“Thank you, Young Master.” Yun Yi straightened his body, taking measure of Sima You Yue.
“Brother Yun Yi, you… You called him Young Master?” Guo Fu couldn’t believe what she had seen go on between the two parties.
“That’s right. He is one of the two young masters from the Divine Devil Valley.” Yun Yi said.
“But aren’t You Yue and the rest from the Yi Lin Continent? How could he become the Young Master?” Guo Liang asked.
“Previously, Second Young Master had returned and announced that he had found a successor, and the blood ring had already approved of him, and that he would become our Young Master.” Yun Yi explained. “As long as we see him, everyone who is below the elders of the Divine Devil Valley must greet him.”
“Wow… So You Yue is the Young Master of the Divine Devil Valley. Wow, the power of this title... When you go back up, no one will dare to take advantage of you!” Guo Liang laughed.
No one from the Yun family had thought that they would encounter the young master of the Divine Devil Valley here. To their understanding, this Divine Devil Valley was a very secretive power, and the young master should be a mysterious person. Now that he has seen him with his own eyes, it felt rather unbelievable. The previously amicable atmosphere had come rather stiff, especially because the Guo family members had suddenly become unsure of how to interact with You Yue and team.
Sima You Yue laughed, saying, “I’ve never been to the Divine Devil Valley, so I’m not sure what it is like myself. This being a Young Master is also just a title, so whatever we had between us should stay the same. If you’re going to be like this it’s going to make it uncomfortable.”
“Heh. I feel the same way too.” Guo Liang said.
Sima You Yue looked at Yun Yi, and suddenly thought about the rules of the place and said in surprise, “Yun Yi, are you not yet a hundred years old?”
“Hm, I’m ninety this year.” Yun Yi said.
“And you’ve been to the Divine Devil Valley even before becoming a Spirit Paragon?”
“That’s right.” Yun Yi replied.
“Brother Yun Yi’s powers over the airspace are really strong. He had coincidentally bumped into an Elder from the Restless Continent, and that Elder happened to be an Array Master. And after he saw Brother Yun Yi’s skills, he brought him up to the Divine Devil Valley. It has been thirty years since Brother Yun Yi has gone up.” Guo Pei Pei explained.
Ninety years....
Sima You Yue thought about those on earth who were ninety years old, and then took a second look at the ninety-year olds here, and was grateful that they are not the same worlds. The ninety year olds here had just begun their lives, but the ninety year olds on earth were at the end of their lives.
“Heheh, so now, if we think in terms of earth, then I am only just a few years old?” She celebrated this thought in her heart.
“Awooooo—”
The cry of a snow wolf resounded from the mountain peaks opposite them, and scared everyone.
“What’s wrong?” No one thought that a snow wolf would suddenly cry out.
“It is calling it’s pack!” Wei Qi Zi said.
“I guess it senses that there are more and more people here, and feels endangered, so it’s calling for its companions.” Guo Pei Pei suggested.
“But there aren’t many treasures here!” Sima You Le said.
Little Tu pulled on Sima You Yue’s clothes, saying, “Brother, I can sense it. There are treasures here.”
“Do you know what they are?” Fatty Qu asked.
Little Tu shook his head, and pointed towards a distance beyond the cliff, saying, “They are in the rocks there.”
“In the rocks? Could they be the stone skeleton flowers?” Someone from the Yun family said out loud.
“Aren’t Stone Skeleton Flowers just things that exist in myths?” Everyone was surprised.
“You Yue, what kind of treasure is a Stone Skeleton Flower?” Fatty Qu asked, feeling embarrassed that he might be the only one who was still ignorant, as he watched everyone’s shocked expressions.
“Stone Skeleton Flowers can bring the dead back to life, and add flesh to bone.” Sima You Yue said.
“Hu—” Sima You Le and some others inhaled sharply. Could there really be such a thing in the world?
“The ancient books record that even if you have died, if you apply the stone skeleton flower to the body, you can come back to life.” Guo Pei Pei added on.
“It’s that powerful?” Fatty Qu said. “Should we make an attempt, since it is such a precious treasure?”
“This Stone Skeleton Flower will not be easy to attain.” Sima You Yue said. “Aged Stone Skeleton Flowers can become spirits, and move about on their own. Because it is embedded in stone, you may not be able to see it since it has disappeared.”
“How does it move if it is embedded in stone?”
“Just as how earthworms move in the ground, that’s how the spirits move while in the stone.” Sima You Yue said.
Soon after, many snow wolves started to surround them, and lingered around the mountain peak and cliff.
As the people saw the number of spirit beasts surrounding them, they started to retreat. Since they had not yet laid their eyes on the treasure, there was no real reason for them to take such a great risk.
At this time, a waft of fragrances sloated over, and it stopped those who were going down the mountain in their tracks. If the treasure was able to give off such a strong fragrance, it must not be an ordinary treasure! This smell was familiar to some, and those who knew the smell cried out, “This… This is definitely the smell of a Stone Skeleton Flower!”
