Chapter 898: Chapter 893: Stop Letting Out Water

The main hall of Wuya Mountain was also in a state of disrepair.

However,

overall, it seemed relatively well preserved.

On the plaza in front of the hall, lay many scattered items, along with some broken short swords.

On top of these were covered with many fallen leaves.

The summer morning breeze swept through, causing the leaves to flutter, bringing a sense of desolation.

Lin Tian glanced around the surroundings of the plaza, not finding a single trace related to the Nine Celestial Stone Map.

Finally, Lin Tian stepped into the hall.

Inside, it was also empty, except for various damaged tools, nothing of worth was left behind.

“Back then, when other sects of the Shennongjia Cultivation Area — the Golden Sun Sect, Gale Valley, and Asura Sect — besieged this place, they must have completely massacred it!”

Lin Tian walked deeper into the hall, sighed, and said, “Could the Nine Celestial Stone Map have been taken by these sects? Or was it no longer here long ago? Or perhaps it was hidden somewhere? The Nine Celestial Stone Map was placed in this sect thousands of years ago, through the vicissitudes of life, who knows how many times it has been moved! Finding it won’t be easy…”

With a soft murmur, Lin Tian walked along the hall.

He discovered there was actually a back door at the rear of the hall.

Lin Tian walked over and found himself on the rear mountain of Wuya Mountain.

At the top, there was a cave, with stone steps leading up to it.

“Could the Nine Celestial Stone Map be inside!”

Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards it.

Unexpectedly, the cave was small.

Lin Tian entered to find it was only a little over ten square meters.

But.

There were a stone table, stone stools, and a stone bed available.

What caught Lin Tian’s gaze was the sight of an elder woman with a slightly hunched back sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

Although, the elder woman’s cultivation was only at Qi Refining Ninth Level.

“Which friend is visiting my desolate Wuya place?”

The elder woman rasped open her mouth, while opening her eyes, her gaze falling on Lin Tian.

Seeing Lin Tian, the elder woman’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

“Who are you, young friend? What brings you to Wuya Mountain?”

The elder woman scrutinized Lin Tian for a moment, frowned, and asked.

“I’m a friend of Jaja!”

After a brief thought, Lin Tian said, “I heard about the matters of Wuya Mountain back then. This time, I’m here to retrieve something from Wuya Mountain, perhaps senior can help me. But why haven’t you left, senior? If the Asura Sect returns, it would be troublesome. Has Jaja come back?”

Lin Tian asked several questions and then fell silent.

The opponent was an elder of Gao Yang Jiajia’s sect. Calling her a senior was no matter to Lin Tian.

If he could find the Nine Celestial Stone Map with her help, it wouldn’t be in vain.

“So you know Jaja!”

The elder woman’s expression slightly relaxed, and after a pause, she said, “Jaja did return, with her master and some sisters, but they all went to Central Continent in the end. It’s said that Jaja suddenly altered the sect’s cultivation technique, awakening her innate talent, and was noticed by the Holy Fall Land in the Wuyou Ridge of the Central Continent, where a supreme master took her as a disciple! The reason I haven’t left is because I’m too weak. This Wuya Mountain is my root, I grew up here and can’t bear to leave! Even if those Asura Sect brutes return, so be it!”

Gao Yang Jiajia went to Central Continent?

Previously, I modified her cultivation technique, and she unexpectedly awakened her talent. It must have been after she left.

Holy Fall Land, since it is in Central Continent, should be regarded as one of the major sects there, likely beneficial for her future path!

Lin Tian nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

“But young friend, you mentioned coming to Wuya Mountain to retrieve something, it seems you might have found the wrong place!”

The elder woman chuckled bitterly, glanced at the ruins of the sect below, and said, “Look at what’s in front of you, what else is left to take?”

“The item I seek is quite special!”

Lin Tian shook his head slightly and said, “It’s a green stone, translucent like amber, about the size of a washbasin, shaped somewhat like a seal, with many strange white veins on it. Have you seen it?”

The description of the Nine Celestial Stone Map was only heard from JiMoo Ruxue, so Lin Tian could only relay it as heard.

“A green stone with strange veins?”

The elder woman furrowed her brows, pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, “I grew up in Wuya Mountain, it’s been over a hundred years. The green stone you mention, I have never seen! Anything within my Wuya Mountain domain, I can recall with my eyes closed. But, I’m certain, I’ve never seen a green stone with veins.”

Never seen it!

So, if the stone is no longer in Wuya Mountain, it definitely wasn’t the work of those Asura Sect sects.

Lin Tian felt a bit disappointed,

after contemplation, Lin Tian asked again, “Before, even a long time ago, was there any interaction or conflict with other sects, and they took something?”

“Conflict? How could that be! Otherwise, this little Wuya Mountain wouldn’t have been able to inherit from ancient times!”

The elder woman sighed and shook her head, “Our Wuya Mountain was founded on elixirs, but our level has always been quite low! Previously, the Asura Sect wanted to let the demon cultivators from Forbidden Curse Ridge settle and take over our Wuya Mountain, we naturally didn’t agree, and we faced a calamity, with innumerable deaths and injuries at Wuya Mountain!”

“Thank you, senior!”

Seeing he couldn’t find anything, Lin Tian could only prepare to leave in resignation.

“Wait!”

After Lin Tian turned around, the elder woman suddenly added, “By the way, I’ve read the sect records, it’s said that some of Wuya Mountain’s inheritances originally came from Holy Fall Land! My master mentioned, our founder seems to have cultivated in Holy Fall Land. That’s why when Jaja and the others went to Central Continent, the cultivators from Holy Fall Land recognized them as people of Wuya Mountain, and only then took them in, realizing Jaja’s talent!”

“Holy Fall Land, huh? Thank you, senior! I’ll visit there when I have time!”

Lin Tian thanked again, turned and walked down Wuya Mountain.

But not far away, he vaguely heard the elder woman reminding him not to act impulsively when going to Holy Fall Land; that it was a super major sect and so on.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, then proceeded to walk down the small path behind Wuya Mountain.

Going down from here, the mountain road was rugged, but it provided an unobstructed view of the lake at the back.

Moreover, Lin Tian also wanted to see if he could find anything behind.

But.

Upon reaching the bottom of the mountain, when he was about tens of meters from the lake, Lin Tian suddenly heard the sound of splashing water, followed by faint footsteps.

Lin Tian was surprised, he followed the sound, and when he pushed aside the tall grass, his eyes widened.

He saw a naked girl, shaking her wet, black hair, emerging from the lake, walking to a grassy area on the shore, squatting to relieve herself.

“What the heck! How many times has this happened already?”

Running into another woman relieving herself in the wild, Lin Tian inwardly grumbled, glanced over, intending to look away and leave.

But then, he paused abruptly, turned back swiftly, eyes focused again.

Specifically, his gaze fell on the ground below where the girl was squatting, on a light green stone with faint imprints.

At this moment.

It was already wet by the girl.

And the veins on it seemed to grow blurrier as it became soaked.

“Wait! Stop it! Don’t let out any more water!”

Not caring about anything else, Lin Tian shoved through the tall grass, rushing forward while shouting urgently.
