Chapter 760: The Old Man in the Barrel
Jin Cunyao’s warning puzzled Jiang Yun, "Why? Be careful of who?"
"Be careful of anyone!"
Jin Cunyao said seriously, "I don’t know the specific reasons, but you outsiders, while in Dao Prison in the first three years, the Dao God Temple won’t harm you. These three years are a relatively safe period for you."
"But once three years pass, it seems like the Dao God Temple can freely act against you."
"Even if the Dao God Temple does not personally intervene, they will make others in the Dao Prison take action against you!"
This was something Jiang Yun didn’t know, and it reminded him of Boundary Patroller Yue Qing!
When Yue Qing caught himself, he suffered heavily on his own hands, harboring deep hatred towards himself, he would definitely not easily let himself go.
If someone in the Dao God Temple town really wants to act against himself, it can only be Yue Qing, and he must be on guard against him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun bowed to Jin Cunyao again and said, "Senior Brother, I will remember!"
"Alright, nothing else matters, I will take you out!"
Leaving the small room, Jiang Yun also found himself deep underground, surrounded by countless intertwining caves.
Inside most of the caves, there were various strong or weak energy fluctuations.
Clearly, this is where the Golden Toad tribe lives, inside the caves dwell the Golden Toads.
Even though Jiang Yun was curious, he felt shy to use his special sense to check.
So he never imagined that just ten yards away in a cave at that moment, there lay a beggar who was unconscious.
"Take care, my junior!"
Jin Cunyao personally led Jiang Yun into a teleportation device, and only after watching him leave did he show a worried expression, saying, "I never expected my junior to also be someone with a black stone!"
"These people, once they stay in the Dao Prison for three full years, will start dying one after another, with the longest survivor not lasting more than ten years."
It turns out, Jin Cunyao’s warning to Jiang Yun was not for all prisoners who entered the Dao Prison, but specifically for those with a black stone!
In order to prevent Jiang Yun from thinking too much, he didn’t reveal the whole truth.
After standing still for a moment, Jin Cunyao didn’t return to his own cottage but instead took out a formation stone, crushed it, and appeared in another small house.
If Jiang Yun could see the small house now, he would definitely feel more familiar.
Because inside this small house with a small area, there was only one thing placed.
A big wooden barrel!
The barrel was full of water, giving off a strong medicine smell, and an extremely old man was sitting cross-legged inside!
This old man had his eyes closed, was very thin, completely naked, almost bald, with layers of wrinkles on his face, almost hiding his features!
Facing this old man, Jin Cunyao showed respect on his face, bowed, and greeted, "Disciple pays respect to Master Ye!"
Ye Tianshi!
Jiang Yun would never have imagined that Ye Tianshi, one of the two disciples trained by the Medicine God in the Dao Prison years ago, was still alive!
Although Ye Tianshi had not died yet, judging from his current appearance and condition, he seemed as fragile as a candle in the wind, with his life flame possibly extinguishing at any time.
After hearing Jin Cunyao’s voice, Ye Tianshi didn’t speak. He didn’t even open his eyes, just nodded slightly.
Jin Cunyao then continued, "Congratulations, Ancestor, you finally waited for this moment!"
"I have just met someone from the Mountain-Sea World, who has inherited the teachings of Medicine God Ancestor!"
These words made Ye Tianshi suddenly open his eyes wide.
Although his eyes were very cloudy, there was a glimmer of light in them.
That light was hope, joy, and astonishment!
Even in Jin Cunyao’s mind, a very faint ancient voice echoed, "With this, Master, there is hope. Tell me more!"
If Jiang Yun heard these words, he would surely be very surprised.
Because the only Master mentioned by Ye Tianshi was Medicine God!
The Medicine God is not dead after all!
Jin Cunyao didn’t dare hide anything, he told everything about Jiang Yun to the elder with a helpless look on his face, "Elder, Jiang Yun also has a black stone on him. So, disciple wants to discuss with the elder to see if there is a way to save his life!"
The light in Ye Tianshi’s eyes suddenly became brighter, and a terrifying aura rose from his skinny body, filling the small room instantly.
Jin Cunyao’s face showed horror, and his body felt like a small boat in a storm, swaying so much that he could hardly stand.
However, Jin Cunyao didn’t dare to move.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tianshi’s voice echoed in Jin Cunyao’s mind again, "Wake me up when someone arrives at the Dao God Temple, even if it’s my last breath, I must protect him. Only if he is safe, can we possibly save my master!"
After saying that, Ye Tianshi slowly closed his eyes, and the terrifying aura instantly disappeared, making him look like a dead body.
Seeing Ye Tianshi, Jin Cunyao’s face had a sad expression.
Only he knew that the Elder had been staying alive like this, barely breathing until today.
Ye Tianshi wasn’t afraid of dying, but he knew his master Medicine God was still alive, so he had to wait for someone who could save his master.
Now, he finally found that person!
He never expected Jiang Yun to have a black stone, but he was determined to do his best to protect Jiang Yun.
As Ye Tianshi slept, Jin Cunyao carefully crushed a formation stone, then left and appeared in a cave.
In front of him lay the beggar.
Looking at the man, Jin Cunyao’s eyes showed a hint of hatred as he said, "All the evil deeds are because of your Dao God Temple!"
"Even though you’re a criminal now, since you were once a disciple of the Dao God Temple, I want to see if we can uncover any secrets about the Dao God Temple from you!"
…
With Jin Cunyao’s guidance, Jiang Yun spent three days returning to the Reincarnation Cave, found the Firebird, and then flew towards Peach Blossom City filled with emotions and more questions.
The harvest this time was beyond his expectations, but with it came more and more questions.
As his emotions gradually calmed down, he realized that there were many questions about the black stone, about himself, and about Medicine God that he had forgotten to ask Jin Cunyao.
For example, do those who also possess the black stone have seals that can emit colorful light like his own?
Do they also have another soul inside them that looks like them but appears aged?
And why was Medicine God sent to Dao Prison in the past?
However, Jiang Yun wasn’t worried. He believed he would have another chance to see Jin Cunyao and could ask him all those questions then.
Jiang Yun didn’t pay much attention to Jin Cunyao’s warning before leaving.
Even if Yue Qing doesn’t make a move against him, there’s no absolute safety in Dao Prison, so the most important thing is to improve his strength.
Jiang Yun had planned to go to a place that could provide him with enough power first, but now he decided to wait until he condensed the three Dao Spirits of wood, earth, and fire before making a plan.
When Jiang Yun returned to Peach Blossom City, Guluo appeared in front of him for the first time. She didn’t ask him how his trip went, instead, she handed him a storage tool and said, "If you need more, just ask, my Taoist friend."
