Chapter 1046

Shangguan Haitang's injuries were now mostly healed, and she was acting together with Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and her admired foster father, the Iron-Gall Marquis.

Her heart was infinitely happy, and she couldn't help but exclaim,

"Foster father, I didn't expect there to be such a strange place here; how did you know about it?"

In fact, the reason why the Iron-Gall Marquis knew the location of the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom was naturally due to the guidance of the old monk in the Heart-Zen Hall,

It was just that he naturally would not say the key to this directly.

Instead, while leading the way in front, he said indifferently,

"The late Emperor ordered me to establish the Dragon-Protecting Villa to protect the Great Ming landscape.

Therefore, in order for the Dragon-Protecting Villa to become a great success, he sent many spies from the original Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and even the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Inner Factory to join the Dragon-Protecting Villa.

So if we talk about the mastery of various strange news and events in the world, Haitang, your Number One Villa in the World is not as good as my Dragon-Protecting Villa!"

The Four Great Secret Agents were originally the highest-level secret agents of the Dragon-Protecting Villa.

Shangguan Haitang had even participated in many of Zhu Wushi's intelligence plans, so she naturally knew some of the energy of the Dragon-Protecting Villa.

Although she had never discovered the trace of the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in the intelligence.

But thinking that she was only the Number One Secret Agent of the Xuan character, and her foster father was the master of the Dragon-Protecting Villa, overseeing the overall situation.

If he said there was, then there was.

"Foster father bears the burden of the Great Ming landscape and society, which is not something my Number One Villa in the World, which is like a mess, can compare to."

Shangguan Haitang was in a great mood, so she was naturally happy to flatter the Iron-Gall Marquis.

As the few of them chatted and laughed, they went all the way down.

This cave in the belly of the snow peak was truly extremely strange.

The further down they went, the more warmth they felt.

In the end, Cheng Shifei suddenly said,

"Eh? Haitang, Yidao, Tianya, have you felt it?

Once we reached here, our cultivation techniques actually started running automatically, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is also quite abundant.

I think if I practice here, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

Once he said this, Shangguan Haitang, who had been chatting idly with the Iron-Gall Marquis, immediately sensed it.

Sure enough, as Cheng Shifei said, the abundance of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here was actually ten times stronger than outside.

If one practiced here, it would probably not be twice the result with half the effort, but a ten-fold practice progress bonus!

"It really is, this is actually a blessed land for practice! Foster father, can we practice here?"

Shangguan Haitang actually didn't care much about cultivation realms.

It was just that Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao, whom she cared about, were both people who were obsessed with martial arts.

Therefore, she relied on Zhu Wushi's favor and brought it up to the Iron-Gall Marquis as if joking.

Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao also discovered the mystery in this mountain path at this time, and their eyes were full of expectation as they looked at the Iron-Gall Marquis.

The Iron-Gall Marquis had actually never been to this place.

But his goal was naturally not to practice here.

After all, relying on selling out the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends could at most confuse the attention of the Nine Provinces martial artists and Great Ming martial artists for a while.

Once they fought until their heads were broken and blood flowed on Tianchi Peak, and turned the fire lake upside down, only to find no Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, they would mostly know they had been deceived.

At that time, as long as they found the Dragon-Protecting Villa, they would know where he was.

If he really waited until then, this third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom would naturally not be his share.

Therefore, the Iron-Gall Marquis just smiled faintly and said,

"Haitang, you are quite naughty!

I said, during the mission..."

"During the mission, the mission is the most important!"

Shangguan Haitang immediately smiled and answered first.

"That's right."

The Iron-Gall Marquis continued to walk slowly downward and said again,

"This third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom is related to Suxin's life and death.

Before this, I really have no other thoughts."

Hearing the Iron-Gall Marquis being so infatuated, the Four Great Secret Agents present were both admiring and somewhat ashamed.

"Foster father, it is our fault, we shouldn't have made such an absurd request..."

Shangguan Haitang immediately followed closely and expressed her apology.

"It doesn't matter."

The Iron-Gall Marquis naturally knew that after giving a slap, he had to give a sweet date, so he made up a lie,

"How do you think I am so familiar with this place?"

"Why?"

Shangguan Haitang asked.

"Actually, this is the place where I and the Invincible Naughty Boy truly obtained our divine skills."

This sentence was truly just a lie.

Yet Shangguan Haitang and the others believed him deeply, but Shangguan Haitang was quite curious and couldn't help but say,

"Here? Isn't it said that you and the Invincible Naughty Boy obtained the inheritance of the Tianchi Strange Hero in the fire lake on Tianchi Peak?"

This secret, Zhu Wushi had once told Shangguan Haitang privately when he was in a good mood in the past.

The Iron-Gall Marquis lied without blushing or his heart beating, just continuing to say,

"That was just to deliberately induce outsiders.

After all, although the senior Tianchi Strange Hero was not the master of me and the Invincible Naughty Boy, he ultimately passed on his strange skills and arts to us.

To some extent, he is indeed no different from my master.

This is precisely where he is buried, because the walls of this cave are all thousand-year profound ice, which is why his old man's corpse was able to be preserved without rotting.

If I really told this location out, those busybodies in the Jianghu would definitely exhaust all means to explore this place.

By that time, if the senior's spirit in heaven were disturbed, wouldn't it be my fault?"

These words were a mix of truth and falsehood.

The Tianchi Strange Hero was indeed preserved without rotting due to the thousand-year profound ice.

However, the location where Zhu Wushi and the Invincible Naughty Boy found the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Absorption Skill was indeed at the bottom of the fire lake on Tianchi Peak.

It was just that the four of them, Shangguan Haitang, had never even been to Tianchi Peak.

Naturally, they didn't know that all of this was just the Iron-Gall Marquis making things up.

"So that means, the corpse of the senior Tianchi Strange Hero is right in front?"

Shangguan Haitang was fascinated by this story, and her admiration for the Marquis rose a few more levels.

It turned out that her foster father was not only meticulous in his thoughts but also a person of chivalrous bones and soft intestines.

Clearly, he was the current Imperial Uncle, the Iron-Gall Marquis, the master of the Dragon-Protecting Villa, and the number one person in the world's martial arts.

As long as he gave an order, no petty person would dare to come and dig up the burial place of the Tianchi Strange Hero.

Yet he deliberately didn't give the order and just deliberately said the wrong location.

In this way, with a small lie, he obtained peace for the Tianchi Strange Hero after his death.

This kind of breadth of mind and bearing made Shangguan Haitang admire him for a long time.

If the Iron-Gall Marquis knew Shangguan Haitang's inner monologue, he would probably laugh to death.

It was just that at this moment, hearing Shangguan Haitang's question, he couldn't help but have some embarrassment on his face, which then flashed and disappeared.

Whether it was his own experience before or the experience of Zhu Wushi in this world.

The true location of the skill transmission was indeed the fire lake on Tianchi Peak.

The unrotted corpse of the Tianchi Strange Hero was also stored in the thousand-year profound ice in the fire lake.

He was just making things up; how could there be the corpse of the Tianchi Strange Hero in this cave?

"Eh? Marquis, is this the Tianchi Strange Hero?"

Cheng Shifei was the last to join the Dragon-Protecting Villa and also had the most jumpy personality.

Just now, when Shangguan Haitang and the Iron-Gall Marquis were talking, Cheng Shifei had gone down the mountain path alone and rapidly.
