Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 34 - . On the left is a tree, and on the right is also a tree.

Outside the Land God Temple, Fang Zhou retrieved the sixth generation and No. 55, two man-made treasure horses, which mixed with the horse Han Li had ridden. Han Li's horse also looked extraordinarily spirited.

There was only one mountain path, and evidently, Han Li shared the same route as Fang Zhou and his disciple. Therefore, Fang Zhou invited Han Li to accompany them.

He was merely being polite, yet to his surprise, after Han Li glanced at Ling Xiaoyue, she actually agreed to his proposal.

Fang Zhou, having extended the invitation, found it inappropriate to reject her now.

He silently resolved to avoid polite overtures in the future.

The trio then left the Land God Temple and set out together, proceeding along the mountain path.

On the way, the situation Fang Zhou was worried about did not occur. Ling Xiaoyue did not continue to harass Han Li, nor did she tease him. Instead, she lay on the horse's back, drinking and basking in the sun as always.

Han Li seemed to lack any interest in conversing and followed in silence behind the two.

Fang Zhou then started his cultivation practice on horseback. He had a hunch that he was about to reach the entry-level bottleneck and that by continuing to cultivate, he should be able to break through to a new stage in the Qi Refining Realm.

While Fang Zhou was cultivating, he suddenly heard Han Li speak from behind.

"Mr. Fang, have you also come here for the secret treasure of Wild Tomb Ridge?"

Before Fang Zhou could reply, Ling Xiaoyue suddenly sat up, "Wild Tomb Ridge has a secret treasure?"

Ling Xiaoyue's reaction confirmed that the master and disciple duo were clueless about Wild Tomb Ridge.

Understanding this, Han Li explained.

After escaping from Black Jiao Cave, she was not unscathed. The Black Jiao Dragon was powerful, capable of spewing toxic miasma. Even a mere whiff of this Jiao Poison could lead to poisoning.

Han Li could not avoid the Jiao Poison while she was inside Black Jiao Cave, and though the poison would not activate immediately, it was a hidden danger that would inflict greater harm on her body the longer it was left untreated.

After leaving Lingnan, Han Li searched everywhere for a cure to the poison. By chance, she heard that in Jing Chu Territory's Wild Tomb Ridge, a secret treasure associated with Buddhism had emerged.

Buddhist artifacts were particularly known for their purifying capabilities, potentially able to cleanse the Jiao Poison, prompting Han Li to travel great distances to try her luck.

The Lingnan Twin Fiends were also afflicted with the Jiao Poison. Presumably, they had the same idea as Han Li, which was why they encountered each other in these desolate outskirts, as the location wasn't far from Wild Tomb Ridge.

After hearing Han Li's explanation, Ling Xiaoyue's eyes shone as she turned to look at Fang Zhou, "Disciple, Wild Tomb Ridge is right on our way back to our sect. Do you think this could be fate?"

Fate my ass.

Fang Zhou wished he could spit on her face. Just a few days ago, she had clearly said that crossing over this range of mountains would allow them to continue along the banks of Jing Chu River without the need to scale any more ridges.

So where did this essential stop at Wild Tomb Ridge suddenly come from?

It was clear they had heard about the emergence of a secret treasure and wanted to join in on the excitement.

Then, Han Li spoke to Ling Xiaoyue again, "Senior, it's said that the grade of this treasure might be below that of a spirit artifact. It seems that a person of your caliber might not have a use for it?"

Han Li was uncertain of Ling Xiaoyue's realm but reasoned that someone who could scare off a demon near the Innate Realm must be at the Innate Realm or above.

Generally, equipment with innate mana is called a magic artifact, and those with powerful mana and unique traits are spirit artifacts.

Spirit artifacts or those of a higher grade are useful to cultivators in the Innate Realm. Anything below that is of little use to them.

Of course, this is just a rough distinction, some items with special effects are difficult to summarize simply.

Han Li's words seemed to be advising Ling Xiaoyue, to prevent disappointment later on, but they were not without the intent of probing.

Unfortunately, she got the wrong person. If it were any other cultivator in the Innate Realm, they might have dismissed the comment, but who is Ling Xiaoyue? She's someone who wouldn't even spare a bandit's private stash.

Thus, Ling Xiaoyue was not at all concerned about Han Li's words, just smilingly said, "Don't worry about it, I don't necessarily have to take it, just curious to see what the Secret Treasure looks like."

As a result, Fang Zhou's opinion was ignored, and Ling Xiaoyue happily decided to make a detour, oh no, to make a little side trip to Wild Tomb Ridge to see what the Secret Treasure looked like.

After spending two days crossing this part of the mountain range, a fork in the road appeared ahead, one side was the Jing Chu River visible from afar, winding and twisting on the ground like a silver dragon, the other side continued along the mountain trail, shadowed by trees that blocked out the sun, with wild grass sprawling everywhere.

The three of them continued deeper into the mountains on the mountain trail, Ling Xiaoyue also knew the location of Wild Tomb Ridge, otherwise, she wouldn't have uttered the rhetorical question, "Wild Tomb Ridge has a Secret Treasure?"

Wild Tomb Ridge is a mountain range that resembles a pile of tombs, with several stone peaks like tombstones piercing the sky at the front of the ridge.

Objectively speaking, the terrain of Wild Tomb Ridge has a sense of artistry that could steal the show from nature itself, it's just unfortunate that it resembles a tomb, which gives it a bit of an unlucky connotation.

The mountain path extends all the way to the foot of the mountain, and the path up the mountain even shows signs of man-made repairs.

Moreover, according to Han Li, there was even a temple atop Wild Tomb Ridge.

Fang Zhou felt that something was amiss upon hearing this; a temple popping up out of nowhere in the wilderness was definitely troublesome.

Either there was a female ghost, oh no, a male ghost lingering inside, waiting to absorb the life force of passersby, or the monks were all monsters in disguise, deceiving people to come and eat them.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhou's concerns were met with ridicule from Ling Xiaoyue.

"You're just unsophisticated, my disciple. Wild Tomb Ridge wasn't always known as that. It used to be called Immortal's Tomb, a fengshui treasure land. Many high officials from the previous dynasty were buried here. The Lanruo Temple on the mountain was once very popular, but as the previous dynasty fell, Immortal's Tomb turned into Wild Tomb Ridge, and Lanruo Temple also fell into decay, although there are still people there."

After hearing Ling Xiaoyue's explanation, Fang Zhou suddenly understood. He patted Ling Xiaoyue's shoulder and said with a laugh, "I see, don't worry, whenever you die, I'll bury you in this fengshui treasure land."

Ling Xiaoyue also smiled, "Your filial piety is fully felt by your master. When the time comes for your master to die, I will surely take you along, so you wouldn't be left alone in this world."

Han Li was speechless on the side, what kind of master and disciple were these? The master didn't act like a master, the disciple didn't act like a disciple.

It was her first time seeing a disciple wish the master to die soon with a smile, and the master happily planning to take the disciple with them in death.

Han Li suddenly felt tired, recalling her own time at Qingyun Sect, the trepidatious way she had to treat her master, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The three of them climbed up the mountain, the dirt path turned into stone steps, with moss growing on both sides and only the middle polished smooth, presumably from frequent use.

There was a pavilion halfway up the mountain, where one could enjoy the view of the surrounding scenery.

Next to the pavilion was a large stone as tall as a person, with the words "Immortal Points the Way" inscribed on it, signed by Zhong Tongxuan.

According to Han Li's explanation, this Zhong Tongxuan was the last empress of the former dynasty.

The three of them paused at the pavilion for a while, then continued up, finally reaching the top of Wild Tomb Ridge.

A temple appeared before the three of them.

There was a clearing covered in fallen leaves in front of the temple, and two tall trees stood on either side. On the left was a scholar tree, and on the right was also a scholar tree, with the temple gate sandwiched between them.

Above the temple gate was a plaque, with three large characters written in a flowing and lively script.

Lanruo Temple.
