At this moment, he suddenly heard the little squirrel chattering angrily, its tone filled with fury.
Duan Gujin touched his nose; he knew why the squirrel was so angry.
Previously, the squirrel had been drinking the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk here, but now all of it had been taken away by him, naturally infuriating the squirrel who was accustomed to the Divine Milk.
After thinking it over, Duan Gujin decided to take the little squirrel with him: "Come with me, I will take good care of you from now on!"
Then, Duan Gujin's figure flashed, transforming into a blurred shadow, rushing towards the squirrel.
He wanted to capture the squirrel and then take it away from here.
Seeing Duan Gujin's hostile approach, the squirrel quickly vanished right before his eyes.
Some paths in the underground cave were incredibly narrow, even too small for Duan Gujin's body to enter.
Although Duan Gujin ran far faster than the squirrel, it knew the area well and dashed towards those extremely narrow paths.
This made it impossible for Duan Gujin to catch up with it in time, let alone capture it.
Duan Gujin didn't want to harm the squirrel, so he did not use Hidden Weapons to stun it. Seeing the narrowness of the underground cave, he felt that with some time, he could definitely capture the squirrel unharmed.
After a while, Duan Gujin estimated he had wandered several kilometers within the underground cave.
"So, this cave is this long."
Duan Gujin realized that the squirrel was exceptionally fast, and he judged that he was unlikely to catch up with it anytime soon.
Reluctantly, he gave up his plan to capture the squirrel.
He thought he should take a good look around here to see if he could find other Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.
He previously guessed that the approximately ten cubic meters of Divine Milk he had found could condense into a small pool here, likely related to the Shariputra.
"Could there be relics here from a former ascended master?"
Duan Gujin then began to search around inside the underground cave.
15 minutes later, he found a very crude cave in one corner of the underground cave.
Inside that cave were some very rudimentary, but obviously artificially excavated stone beds, stone chairs, and a stone table.
He judged that someone had lived here before.
He extended his Divine Sense, carefully searching the cave.
After a while, he found a storage ring on a stone wall.
He picked up the storage ring and discovered it contained some ancient Classics.
Delighted, he hurriedly took out the Classics one by one from the storage ring and started browsing them on the spot.
As time passed, he found clues within those Classics.
Among those books, one was a diary of the former master of this place.
And from that diary, Duan Gujin learned the whole truth.
It turns out the master of this place was a Heavenly Master Xun Yuan, and his Taoist name was Dragon Seeking.
Duan Gujin had previously browsed through many Classics; he knew what a Heavenly Master Xun Yuan was.
A so-called Heavenly Master Xun Yuan used their specialized knowledge to seek for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source.
Around the world, various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Sources left from Ancient Times could be found underground.
And because these sources were deeply hidden underground, they remained undiscovered.
For ordinary people, searching for these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Sources was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
In this world, there are also some special inheritances, and those who inherit such an inheritance can judge whether a place has Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source through some local surface features, as well as local history and other clues.
And these inheritors specifically seeking the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source are known as Heavenly Master Xun Yuan.
To become a Heavenly Master Xun Yuan, talent and comprehension are essential, and absolutely not everyone can be suitable for the role.
The previous owner of this cave was called Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master, who, when he passed through the Blood Killing Sect, noticed signs of the existence of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk here.
But for him to find exactly where the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk was located was not something he could accomplish alone.
To find such special Heaven and Earth Spiritual Sources, the Heavenly Master Xun Yuan must lay down Arrays within a hundred miles nearby, gradually pinpointing the exact location of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source.
Originally, the Heavenly Master Xun Yuan agreed to help the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect to fully stimulate the Blood Evil Qi here, to aid the Blood Killing Sect in their cultivation.
At the beginning, their cooperation was very pleasant.
The Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master did not tell the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect that he was searching for the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.
After the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect discovered that the Heavenly Master Xun Yuan had really tripled the Blood Evil Qi of the place, he wildly rejoiced internally and felt that he could extract more valuable information from the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master.
For this, the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect even sent a very beautiful female disciple to attend to the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master, aiming for her to extract valuable information from him.
In a moment of weakness for beauty, the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master, seeing the woman's extreme beauty, was seduced.
The woman was highly skilled and quickly extracted his true intentions.
When the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect learned of the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master's plot, he was furiously enraged.
The woman, who already had an affair with the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect, immediately devised a plan, suggesting they should act subtly at first, letting the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master locate the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.
Once he actually found the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, they would then make their move to capture him.
If it weren't for a serendipitous discovery by the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master of the woman's affair with the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect, things would have proceeded as the woman and Sect Leader had planned.
But upon discovering their affair, the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master became enraged, killed the woman, and then attempted to also kill the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect.
However, the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect was powerful, and with many experts protecting him, the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master was defeated and heavily injured.
To escape the pursuit of the Blood Killing Sect, he fled into this cave and sealed off the cave entrance.
This cave was a spot cleverly picked out by the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master in advance, containing eighty-one Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays inside.
As long as he activated those Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays, the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk would rapidly form in the cave discovered by Duan Gujin before.
The rapid formation here does not mean that as long as those Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays are present, the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk would form.
Executing the Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays to turn the local Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source into Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk comes at a price.
If the eighty-one Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays are activated simultaneously, the local area would permanently lack Heaven and Earth Spiritual Source and its Primordial Energy would become very scarce.
Moreover, if allowed to form naturally over ten thousand years, one hundred cubic meters of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk could form.
But by rapidly absorbing those Heaven and Earth Spiritual Sources with the Gathering Spirit Heavenly Arrays, only ten cubic meters of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk could end up forming.
In the eyes of some, the actions of Heavenly Master Xun Yuan seem like a sheer waste.
But one must understand, ordinary people's lifespans could never reach ten thousand years.
For people with limited lifespan, the actions of the Heavenly Master Xun Yuan are still very useful.
After reading that diary, Duan Gujin exhaled deeply, not expecting that the previous owner of this cave and the Blood Killing Sect would have such a connection.
"Such melodrama! It's really too melodramatic!"
He harshly criticized.
"Haha, but this is also good, in the end it cheaply benefits me!"
He chuckled dryly, his expression one of great joy.
