Chapter 22
The Mischievous Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, Yu Lei Enters the Forbidden Zone!

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were more than happy to help.

After all, in their eyes, Yu Lei was a mysterious figure who was generous with his spending, and they had a good impression of him.

Yu Lei now even brought this level of flute to them and asked them to help play it to attract everyone's attention.

Such trust touched them deeply.

Moreover, this was just a small matter.

“Tsk, I never thought I, Xiao Sheng, would be able to touch such a treasure. For this alone, I'll help you out!”

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but chuckle, rubbing his hands.

Cao Bao was also eagerly looking forward to it.

For them, it was rare to see a Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure in their daily lives. This flute looked extraordinary; its level was at least a Middle-Grade Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure!

Yes, cultivators who were not part of a sect were always too poor.

In the eyes of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, they couldn't differentiate between Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven, so they could only roughly estimate the grade of the Demon Flute. They didn't know that it was a Pre-Heaven Spiritual Treasure!

Yu Lei smiled: “Two of you are willing to help. Yu Lei is grateful. When this matter is done, I will surely reward you.”

Xiao Sheng waved his hand grandly: “Ai, Yu Lei Daoist, what are you saying! Such a small matter, why talk about rewards?”

Cao Bao nodded: “Daoist, rest assured, just watch!”

After saying that, the two of them went to the entrance of the valley.

Xiao Sheng could only refine and utilize a tiny bit of the Pre-Heaven Spiritual Treasure, the Soul-Stealing Flute, so its power could only be utilized a little.

Therefore, the two of them came up with a “good idea.”

The two of them sat down on the ground at the entrance of the valley, one took out the Soul-Stealing Flute, while the other took out an ancient qin!

Yes, don't look at Cao Bao, who was plump and always refining unconventional pills; he was actually proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!

Not to mention, it was enough to fool these people in front of them.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao exchanged a glance, then made up their minds.

Xiao Sheng immediately started to play the Soul-Stealing Flute, while Cao Bao accompanied him on the qin.

For a time, the flute sound was melodious, the qin sound was enchanting, and instantly spread throughout the entire valley!

…………

In all parts of the valley, all living beings heard the flute and qin sounds.

“What sound is this?”

“Hiss, could it be the legendary Daoist Music?”

“No wonder, I feel like I’m about to ascend to immortality while listening to it!”

“I know! It must be that the treasure in this valley is about to be born!”

“There are treasures in this valley?”

“Otherwise? We all must hurry and go investigate. If we go late, we won’t even get a taste of the broth!”

For a time, all the living beings in the valley were attracted by the flute and qin sounds. The Soul-Stealing Flute played by Xiao Sheng gave a simple psychological suggestion to all living beings:

There will be a treasure born in this valley!

This psychological suggestion did not contain any malice and was very simple.

Therefore, even with Xiao Sheng's cultivation, he successfully transmitted it into the hearts of all living beings.

It was because of the effect of the Soul-Stealing Flute that all the cultivators who heard the flute sound subconsciously believed that this was a sign of a treasure being born!

With this preconceived notion, no one suspected that there was a problem.

All living beings put down what they were doing and rushed towards the entrance of the valley like crazy, afraid that they would be late for the action.

However, when many people anxiously arrived at the entrance of the valley, they saw a sight that they would never forget.

The skinny Xiao Sheng was swaying his head and blowing the flute while the chubby Cao Bao was accompanying him on the qin.

To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's appearance, their actions would absolutely be considered “Meeting a soulmate through music!”

However, now... It can only be said that the picture was too beautiful, so beautiful that many people couldn't bear to look!

One cultivator finally couldn't help but shout: “Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, are you crazy? What are you doing here?”

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were considered big names in the Erxianling area, especially Cao Bao. He really wasn’t lying to Yu Lei. The red pills he made were quite popular here, suitable for all ages.

Xiao Sheng was too busy blowing the flute to respond, but Cao Bao on the side said righteously: “What’s wrong? We are discussing Dao through music here. Are you disturbing our enjoyment, Daoist friends?”

One cultivator couldn't help but roll their eyes, this is called discussing Dao through music?

Cao Bao looked like a hermit, and said solemnly: “Daoist friends, if you want to listen here, go ahead, but don't disturb our enjoyment.”

This time, everyone wanted to roll their eyes.

You caused such a big misunderstanding and then said that we disturbed your enjoyment?

However, although they wanted to scold them, they didn't know what to say when the words reached their lips.

What else could they say?

They were just playing the flute and the qin here. It was they who thought there was a treasure being born, so they rushed over in a hurry.

Could they blame Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao?

Therefore, although everyone was extremely depressed and grumbled, no one really went to trouble Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

They even chatted while listening to the flute and qin sounds.

“You know, the flute is really played well, and the qin is played pretty well too,”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect these two guys to have this kind of skill.”

“It's strange, how did I think there was a treasure being born?”

“Indeed, I felt the same way.”

Everyone was puzzled and discussed it.

However, no one noticed that a figure in the depths of the valley quietly opened a door of prohibition.

The door of prohibition flashed past, then disappeared with the person.

…………

The person who entered through the door of prohibition and opened the Pre-Heaven prohibition was Yu Lei.

His plan went smoothly. Everyone, including the Jinxian, was attracted by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. No one paid attention to the fluctuations that appeared here.

After successfully entering the Pre-Heaven prohibition, Yu Lei began to examine the scene before him.

The space in this Pre-Heaven prohibition was very spacious, and the spiritual energy was also very rich.

The first thing that attracted Yu Lei's attention was a huge green ancient tree located in the center of the prohibition. It was full of branches and leaves, filled with Daoist aura, and also emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Yu Lei's heart moved, and he immediately flew to the front of the ancient tree and carefully examined it.

“This is… Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain? Tsk, it turns out to be an Enlightenment Tea Tree. It's truly rare!”

Yu Lei was surprised and couldn’t hide his excitement.

This place was Wuyi Mountain, and this ancient tree was a rare tea tree, so Yu Lei naturally thought of the famous Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain in later generations.

Of course, for the Hong Huang cultivators of this era, there were not so many 讲究 (details, refinement) yet, so they simply called all tea trees with enlightenment function Enlightenment Tea Trees.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree in front of Yu Lei had been growing for countless years, accumulating countless Heaven and Earth spiritual aura.

Its level was already at the Extreme-Grade Pre-Heaven level!

Although it could not compare to the legendary Ten Pre-Heaven Spiritual Roots, its enlightenment effect was even unmatched by the Ten Pre-Heaven Spiritual Roots!

Yu Lei was naturally very excited. He already had an extraordinary comprehension ability. Now, with this Enlightenment Tea Tree, he was like a tiger with wings!

But compared to the Enlightenment Tea Tree, what was even more attractive to Yu Lei was the blue pearl under the Enlightenment Tea Tree!
