To extend their lives by freezing himself and his junior sister in this place while evading the external pursuit of Blood Pill Dao cultivators.
Once everything cald down, the two of them could wait for their disciples to activate them and escape to continue living freely.
And those golden spheres embedded in the stone chamber ceiling were the elixirs Xu Changming prepared before freezing himself.
The golden elent has the function of preserving cosmic energy for a long ti, which is why ancient people used gold to wrap elixirs, calling them 'Golden Core'. There is a rationale behind this.
But what Xu Changming didn't expect was that during a brief outing, he returned to find that many of the golden spheres holding the elixirs were missing.
This made him furious.
Each elixir inside those golden spheres was invaluable, refined by Xu Changming using many rare materials.
Not a single one could be wasted.
"It's okay, we can have disciples go out to find the thief who stole the elixir and bring back what he took," Xu Yingying comforted.
The two were not foolish; they knew that so many years had passed in the outside world, and the influence of Golden Core Dao cultivators must have beco imnse.
They had hard many people in that city, surely drawing the attention of Golden Core Dao cultivators.
Going personally to retrieve the lost 'Golden Cores' now would be highly dangerous.
So sending out disciples would make it less noticeable, which was the right approach.
"That should indeed be the case," Xu Changming nodded, then pointed to a man in the Blood Pool.
The man, although not understanding Xu Changming's Pre-Qin language, quickly crawled out of the Blood Pool and knelt in front of Xu Changming.
During the ti of their capture, everyone had witnessed the thods of Xu Changming and Xu Yingying.
These two were like demons, and if they didn't obey their orders—
"This, find, whoever has it, catch them, bring it back," Xu Changming said to the disciple in front of him, holding a golden sphere.
All these disciples had been planted with his thods; if they dared to disobey his orders or tried to escape,
Xu Changming could take their lives in an instant.
"Yes," the disciple roughly understood his aning and hurriedly left.
But just a few steps out, he suddenly felt intense heart pain and collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood non-stop.
"Dare to escape, and die," Xu Changming warned.
The disciple's body finally returned to normal, quickly kowtowing in terror to plead for rcy.
"Go, don't reveal yourself," Xu Yingying said indifferently.
The disciple slowly crawled out, fearing that Xu Changming might suddenly harm him again.
...
Gamuzhe City.
Zheng Bin dragged his ragged clothes into the city, looking at the modern urban street scene.
His expression was both emotional and fearful; he wanted to find soone to tell about his recent experiences.
To find soone to capture Xu Changming and Xu Yingying and regain his freedom, but he dared not.
After witnessing the thods of those two demons, Zheng Bin was now frightened to the extre.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he failed.
He might end up dead, losing his life.
With this thought, Zheng Bin decisively put away his dangerous idea.
"Where am I going to find such golden spheres?" Zheng Bin was suddenly troubled.
Gamuzhe City, though neither big nor small, had a population of more than 600,000, making it not easy to find sothing.
Fortunately, Zheng Bin was not an ordinary person; he had lived in Gamuzhe City for many years and was also a mber of a local tour guide group.
Perhaps he could discover the whereabouts of the golden spheres with the help of his colleagues.
Zheng Bin took out the phone Xu Changming had returned to him and dialed a number.
"Hello? Old Zheng, where have you been these days? Many people are missing in Gamuzhe City right now; we thought sothing happened to you."
When Zheng Bin called his friend, the imdiate concern and inquiry from his friend ward his heart.
He was full of regret, too; he shouldn't have gone to that drinking party that night, or else he wouldn't have been muddle-headedly abducted by Xu Changming and Xu Yingying.
Now deeply trapped, it made him regret succumbing to the temptation of alcohol back then.
"It's nothing, just went out for so fun and forgot to inform you. Old Lin, can you do a favor and ask the guys if anyone in Gamuzhe City has recently sold a fist-sized golden sphere? Yes, keep an eye out, and if you find any leads, let know. I'll treat you to a al."
After hanging up, Zheng Bin breathed a sigh of relief and started walking towards ho.
After days of anxiety, he finally had a chance to relax on his rare outing.
However, Zheng Bin didn't know that as he entered Gamuzhe City in his ragged, unkempt appearance resembling a vagabond,
his presence was imdiately noticed by Wang Longhu's Spiritual Telekinesis.
"This guy is suspicious, worth prioritizing observation."
...
Dong Haize was very happy recently.
Ever since he returned from the snowy mountain, he had been staying in his hotel room, never going out.
For als, he ordered takeout; he either ate or slept all day, never stepping outside to expose his presence.
"I've made a fortune. If I can sell these items, I'll really strike it rich,"
Sitting on the bed, he cautiously poured out nine golden spheres from his backpack, Dong Haize thought excitedly to himself.
This ti, although he didn't find the Source of Earth Veins in the mountains, the harvest was enough to cover a decade's earnings.
