3091 Treasures
Mu Ling smiled wryly in his heart. How could he not know if such a character comes from his Mu Clan? However, before their first meeting, he was unaware that Mu Jiu existed within the Mu Clan, let alone how long he had been a member of the clan. After spending just one day with Mu Jiu, he figured out that Mu Jiu was definitely a hidden person.
“Alright, let’s take a rest! Let us stay here tonight and plan for people to take turns keeping the vigil. Those who are injured should immediately sit cross-legged and adjust their breathing to recover quickly.”
Pei Zixuan said with a solemn expression, “We have already suffered significant losses since our arrival today. This issue needs our attention. We only have three months to gain experience here, and no one knows what we will face. However, because we will not always be so lucky, we must be mentally prepared.”
Everyone was struck by his words. After encountering a fifth-rank sacred beast, the Iron-Skin Red Dragon, without Mu Jiu’s ingenious use of drugs to subdue the beast, they would have all perished at the Iron-Skin Red Dragon’s claws. Likewise, if they had rushed into battle with those dozen immortal disciples at that time, they would have suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.

Everyone looked a little distraught for a moment. Before they knew it, Mu Jiu was becoming their pillar of support. Everyone thought he was weak and in need of protection at first, so it was embarra.s.sing when he became the one protecting them.
Feng Jiu was on the other side of the mountain, picking spirit herbs. Because of the presence of the Iron-Skin Red Dragon, few people and ferocious beasts came to this location. Spirit herbs were more likely to abound and rare spirit herbs were also occasionally discovered.
She wandered here for two reasons. First, search for spirit herbs, then look for the Iron-Skin Red Dragon’s nest. She thought that the cave of the Iron-Skin Red Dragon must contain a precious spirit herb.
Even though this area was dense with trees, the iron red-skinned red dragon was a huge beast and its cave was not difficult to locate.
Sure enough, after a thorough search, she came across a cave with a quite s.p.a.cious entrance. Due to the frequent traffic in front of the cave, no weeds grow there and only two large trees partially obscured the entrance.
She approached the cave, releasing her divine sense while paying attention to the sounds and movements. Instead of a single entrance leading straight to the cave’s depths, she discovered two other holes branching off to the left and right.
Because there was no light in the hole, she was hesitant to go in. She took out the night pearl and examined the three holes carefully. Finally, she decided to go to the hole on the left because there were footprints nearby.
The night pearl in her hand illuminated and made the cave as bright as day. She walked down the cave until she reached the forked mouth, carefully examined it, and then chose another cave, turned left and right to the innermost cave where she was dazzled by the treasures and crystals piled up to the size of a hill.
“Hiss! How could there be so many priceless treasures?
She let out a loud gasp as soon as she laid eyes on the treasures. Dragons loved collecting sparkling objects. She only came in to take a look, not expecting to find treasures as tall as a hill. She couldn’t stop herself from exclaiming.
