275 The Opening of the Ruins (1)
A young man stood at the door and stared at Jiang Ming vigilantly. He obviously remembered this decisive customer.
He protected his sister behind him and said in a deep voice, “Fellow cultivator, there’s no refund for goods sold. Are you going to go back on your word?”
“My brother wouldn’t sell you fake goods!” the little girl stuck her head out from behind and said in a childish voice.
“Bro, is someone here to cause trouble?” In the depths of the courtyard, a teenager rushed out with a long saber.
“Don’t be rash.” The young man in the lead quickly stopped him and looked at Jiang Ming. “Fellow cultivator, Xuanguang City is not an ordinary place. Please don’t act recklessly!”
Jiang Ming looked at the three siblings who were extremely vigilant and was a little dumbfounded. He knew that it was a little abrupt for him to suddenly come to their door.
However, the ruins were about to open, and Jiang Ming was too lazy to beat around the bush. He just wanted information.
Jiang Ming shook his head and smiled. “I just have something to ask. Where did you dig out the animal hides you sold me?”
“Are those things really precious?” The young man was taken aback. However, he asked subconsciously.
The young man’s eyes were calm. Since he knew that Jiang Ming was not here to look for trouble, he was relieved and welcomed Jiang Ming into the courtyard.
The younger boy was still staring at Jiang Ming with a face full of vigilance, while the little girl was full of curiosity. It seemed that they received very few guests.
Jiang Ming looked at the courtyard. It was filled with all sorts of furniture and paraphernalia. He knew that this was an old house that was decades or even centuries old. Some of the old objects even had ancient bird and beast patterns, like totems.
“Are you natives of this place?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
Before Xuanguang City was prosperous, indigenous people resided here.
It was obviously not normal for a few young people without any experience in immortal cultivation to live in such an old house.
“As far as I can remember, our ancestors have lived in this city. We are the masters of Xuanguang City. It’s only after the immortal cultivators came that they called us the natives. My name is Liang Ping. You can just call me by my name,” the young man said humbly. He could also tell that the strength of the person in front of him was extraordinary. Therefore, he was quite humble. “Actually, I was the one who dug out the animal hide. However, the place where I dug it out, strictly speaking, is not really the inside of the ruins.”
After serving Jiang Ming a cup of tea, Liang Ping explained with some embarrassment, “Our family can’t practice immortal cultivation. We can only enter the mountains to dig for things. We can’t enter those ruins and secret areas at all. The place we often go to is a ruin that has been damaged for an unknown period of time. Legend has it that it was indeed a relic back then. However, later on, the array was damaged, and that place was exposed. It has long been plundered countless times by great cultivators. All the treasures that could be dug out have been dug out, leaving only some worthless items behind. Only the indigenous people like us, who can’t cultivate, will go and pick up some garbage. However, in the past two years, the number of cultivators I’ve seen there seems to have increased. Many people will pass by that place. But that’s not the entrance to the ruins!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered as he recalled the information he had learned about the ruins. In addition to the entrance, there were some places where the array was seriously damaged, which could allow some immortal cultivators to sneak in. However, only a very small area could be explored.
It seemed that Liang Ping and the others were most likely going to such a place.
“That place might be very dangerous after the ruins open. If it’s not necessary, it’s better not to go there before the storm in the ruins is over,” Jiang Ming said in warning.
Liang Ping nodded. “I already had a premonition. I haven’t been there since I came back.”
After that, Liang Ping also explained to Jiang Ming in detail the specific location of the place where the animal hide was excavated. It was still hundreds of miles away from the real entrance of the ruins. Immortal cultivators rarely went there. It was a wasteland that the indigenous people often went to.
At this moment, the little girl suddenly coughed. Her skin was pale, and her face was filled with pain. Tears welled up in her eyes. However, she held them back.
“Liang An, go get the medicine!” Liang Ping’s expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to hold the little girl in his arms and comfort her.
“It hurts.” The little girl’s voice trembled as she spoke. Her two little hands were clenched tightly, and she looked thin and weak.
It was not until the young man, Liang An, took a bottle of medicine from the house and gave a pill to the little girl that she gradually calmed down after a full fifteen minutes. With tears on her face, she fell into a deep sleep.
After placing the little girl on the bed to rest, Liang Ping finally had the time to return to the courtyard. He sighed and said, “I’m sorry.”
“What’s wrong? ” Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed.
He had just witnessed the entire thing and could tell that the pill was only used to relieve the little girl’s pain. However, it had no effect on her illness.
