"Green Lotus? Old man, you aren’t talking about the Dragon Qi Green Lotus, are you?" Ao Min asked.

The old man’s expression trembled and he immediately looked at Ao Min.

"This fellow cultivator, do you also know about the Dragon Qi Green Lotus?" the old man said.

Ao Min smiled slightly, "Of course I’ve heard about it. Dragon Qi Green Lotus typically grows where the dragon’s aura is extremely rich and it has the effect of enhancing a cultivator’s cultivation, belonging to the category of mystical treasures."

"Exactly, exactly, you are spot on. I didn’t expect you to know something about Dragon Qi Green Lotus, what a surprise." The old man was delighted.

He had originally been worried that Chen Yang wouldn’t understand the effects of Dragon Qi Green Lotus and would doubt the truthfulness of his words.

But now, someone knowing about this thing saved him a lot of effort.

"Brother Chen Yang, I think the old man might be telling the truth. The dragon’s aura around Divine Dragon Mountain is indeed rich, providing the conditions for Dragon Qi Green Lotus to grow," Ao Min confirmed what the old man was saying and immediately told Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was skeptical of the old man’s words, but now that Ao Min said this, he naturally believed.

"So, you want to search for this hidden opportunity together?" Chen Yang asked.

Ao Min grinned, "Brother Chen Yang, this Dragon Qi Green Lotus is quite a good thing. Not to mention it has healing properties, even a regular person that uses it can increase their cultivation, strengthen their physique, and enhance their fortune."

"If it doesn’t delay official business, it’s certainly great to check out a hidden opportunity."

After speaking, Ao Min turned to the dragon, "Also, Dragon Qi Green Lotus typically contains a hint of a dragon’s essence, which for you, is a great opportunity."

Although Ao Min was narrating, Chen Yang could still hear Ao Min’s longing for the Dragon Qi Green Lotus between his lines.

And after listening, Chen Yang indeed became interested in this thing.

He had currently reached the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm and had been unable to find a suitable opportunity for enhancement.

If the Dragon Qi Green Lotus really has such magical effects, it’s indeed worth a try.

Anyway, it’s near Divine Dragon Mountain and doesn’t require going far. Chen Yang pondered for a while, then looked at the old man and asked, "How far is the secret place you speak of from here?"

When the old man heard Chen Yang ask this, he instantly knew that Chen Yang had an interest in going with them, and he quickly smiled, "Very close, about more than twenty miles away from this place, but as for how far inside the secret place, I’m not sure."

The old man seriously spoke, and after listening, Chen Yang fell silent again.

"Chen Yang, let’s go have a look. There’s still some time before the Divine Dragon Assembly, and Blood Bat Hall doesn’t know our whereabouts, it won’t affect anything," He Xiran, who was also tempted, whispered beside Chen Yang.

Chen Yang had been hesitant, but seeing everyone sharing the same thought, he smoothly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let’s go have a look."

Seeing Chen Yang agree, the old man, Ao Min, and the dragon showed delighted expressions.

"Well, old man, quickly lead the way. We can go with you this time, and if we really gain from this opportunity, we’ll split it sixty-forty, with us taking the sixty," Ao Min said straightforwardly.

"Alright, then thank you fellow cultivators for helping out." The old man smiled and cupped his fists, then led Chen Yang together towards the secret place, leaving the Dragon Slaying Platform.

Since they knew Blood Bat Hall had already targeted them, the old man temporarily changed routes.

Choosing to circumvent the area.

It’s not that he’s afraid of Blood Bat Hall, but he doesn’t want to provoke other troubles.

Blood Bat Hall is large and formidable, with experts everywhere.

If encountered midway, there’s no guarantee they won’t be ambushed.

Circumvention is the most sensible choice.

Divine Dragon Mountain is not just an ordinary peak, but an enormous mountain range.

The mountain range stretches over dozens of miles, very vast.

And the location of Dragon God Sect is just the main peak of the Divine Dragon Mountain Range.

The surrounding dense forests and extending mountain ranges are all under Divine Dragon Mountain’s jurisdiction, but in fact, there are no personnel guard there.

After leaving Dragon Slaying Platform, the old man led Chen Yang forward.

They walked for over two hours, circling from the northeast direction of Divine Dragon Mountain’s main peak to the southwest direction.

This area is sparse and quiet, trees towering into the clouds, rarely visited.

"Old man, you said twenty miles, but it’s way too far, right? We’ve walked for more than two hours now, what’s going on?" Upon entering the dense forest, Ao Min couldn’t help but complain.

They are cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Realm, a single step spans hundreds of meters, logically twenty miles should take at most half an hour.

But now they’ve actually walked for two hours.

The old man walking at the front heard Ao Min’s complaint and laughed, "Ao fellow cultivator, don’t be anxious. The secret place is ahead, and the twenty miles I mentioned earlier is the direct distance. But to avoid Blood Bat Hall’s attention, I deliberately circled around, so it took more time."

Ao Min was helpless but known it is the best way.

If they were targeted by Blood Bat Hall, they’re sure to get caught up in a melee, which would probably cost even more time.

"Just lead the way quickly." Ao Min waved his hand, no longer fussing about it.

"Okay." The old man nodded and continued to lead the way ahead.

After walking for another dozen minutes, they soon encountered a grove of locust trees ahead.

The vegetation within the grove was extremely dense, it could even be described as blotting out the sun.

"Fellow cultivators, this is the secret place." The old man entered the grove first, smiling as he spoke.

Ao Min followed behind him into the grove, sweeping his gaze around, asking, "Is this the secret place? Where’s the Dragon Qi Green Lotus? I can’t sense it at all."

Chen Yang also frowned, although the dense forest was somewhat extraordinary with trees growing so tightly that a single ray of light couldn’t penetrate.

However, there weren’t any special spiritual energy fluctuations here.

It was completely an ordinary place.

"This is the entrance to the secret place, fellow cultivators, please be patient," the old man smiled mysteriously, then stood still and began to form hand seals, casting a spell.

His nearby disciple Ling Han saw it and immediately pulled the heavy sword from his back, as if preparing for battle.

Ao Min returned to Chen Yang’s side, squinting at the old man while maintaining a certain distance.

Although the old man looked righteous and not a sinister deceiver, as the saying goes, one must not be malicious, yet be wary.

Since they are mere acquaintances crossing paths, naturally, there’s no excessive trust.

Appropriate vigilance should be maintained at all times.

"Ling Han, go ahead." The old man sent a spell forward, and Ling Han moved at the sound, swinging the heavy sword down at the space where the old man’s spell was directed.

Buzz!!

The space buzzed with a tremble, and soon they saw the originally intact space suddenly crack open, forming a Void Rift.

This was the first time Chen Yang had seen such a scene, feeling very curious.
