White pillars of light rose from the teleportation array. Chu Jun and Ah Chou were both teleported out at the same time. A moment later, they appeared in another square. In front of them was also a grand divine hall shrouded in divine light.

Ah Chou pulled Chu Jun away from the Temple Square and walked down the mountain along the stone steps.

"This is Spirit Mountain?" Chu Jun asked in a low voice.

Ah Chou did not answer Chu Jun. Instead, he looked around as if he was looking for something. Soon, he pulled Chu Jun into a mall. On both sides of the road were spirit trees that were tens of meters tall. They were at least 500 years old.

After walking for about a cup of tea, the two of them saw an orange rock standing at the intersection with the words "Heaven Rank" carved on it. Chu Jun couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Ah Chou, do you still know anyone here?"

Ah Chou nodded and said softly, "Wait here for a while. Don't run around. I have some personal matters to attend to."

A trace of doubt flashed through Chu Jun's eyes, but he didn't ask any further. He nodded and said, "Be careful!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Ah Chou turned around and walked forward.

Chu Jun quietly released his divine sense to follow Ah Chou, not because he didn't trust him, but because Ah Chou had been beaten by the Punishment Hall's God's Abandoned Forbidden Seal, and was a God's Abandoned Being that no one could avoid. The so-called cold world, people like to add flowers to the brocade, but very few are willing to give charcoal in the snow. If Ah Chou went to find his old friend, Ann knew if this friend would betray her. From Ah Chou wandering outside the country alone for many years without a friend to help, it can be seen that her friend is really not good.

Ah Chou stopped walking and finally stopped outside the Heaven Ranked Cave with the number B26. He looked around the cave alertly before moving forward to activate the restriction in front of the cave. A moment later, the restriction was opened and Ah Chou walked in without hesitation.

Chu Jun hesitated for a moment before his divine sense condensed into a thorn-shaped shape, easily passing through the defensive barrier outside the cave and quietly reaching inside.

Ah Chou was standing in the courtyard talking to a fat aunt. Chu Jun was about to draw his divine sense closer, but the fat aunt excitedly pulled Ah Chou into the cave and closed the stone door of the cave.

Chu Jun couldn't help but frown. Because his divine sense was blocked by the stone door, he was actually unable to detect the situation inside. However, that fat aunt clearly didn't have any hostility towards Ah Chou, so Chu Jun could only hold back.

After about half an incense stick of time, Ah Chou walked out of the cave. The fat aunt had always sent her out of the restriction.

Chu Jun had been paying attention to the fat aunt's reaction. Seeing that she did not act abnormally after sending Ah Chou away, he felt relieved. It seemed that he was overthinking it, and not everyone would be able to hit him when he fell into a well.

After Chu Jun withdrew his divine sense for a moment, A-Chou walked back and said softly, "Let's go!"

Chu Jun glanced at the small cloth bag in Ah Chou's hand and did not ask further. He nodded and followed behind Ah Chou.

After the two of them left for a while, Ah Chou couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Chu Jun smiled faintly and said, "You should have told me that you would have said it yourself. It's useless to ask if you don't want to!"

Ah Chou glanced at Chu Jun and continued walking forward. Very quickly, the two of them returned to the stone steps down the mountain and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Chu Jun couldn't help but wonder, "Where is this going?"

"This isn't the mountain peak where Ding Qing lives. The caves here are all Heaven-ranked, and the Profound-ranked ones are thirty miles away!" Ah Chou replied.

Spirit Mountain did not refer to the specific mountain peak, but to the mountain peak of a region. The caves here were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Heaven Grade was the highest, and the Yellow Grade was the lowest. Heaven-level dwellings are usually distributed around the mountain peak where the shrine is located, while earth-level dwellings extend one ring outward, while profound-level dwellings extend another ring outward … To use an image analogy, it is said that heaven-level dwellings are located in the center of the city, earth-level dwellings are located in one ring, profound-level dwellings are located in the second ring, and yellow-level dwellings are located in the third ring.

Ding Qing lived in the Mysterious Rank Ding 58. In other words, Ding Qing's cave was located in the Second Ring Road. On the mountain peak numbered Ding, the house number was Ding 58.

The mountain peak where the shrine was located was forbidden from flying. Chu Jun and Ah Chou walked down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was also a plaza for flying magic tools to take off and land. Chu Jun did not use a flying magic tool. Instead, he lifted Ah Chou and flew west. Soon, he found the location of the Mysterious Rank cave.

Chu Jun did not choose the mountain peak numbered Ding, but Wu Feng, who was near Ding Feng.

Flight was not forbidden in places where there were no temples. Chu Jun and the other two landed directly on the square at the summit of Peak Wu. Every mountain had a management hall. They wanted to rent or purchase a cave, as long as they went to the management hall of that mountain peak to do so.

Chu Jun and Ah Chou walked into Wu Feng's Department Hall and discovered that although this place was large, it was still deserted. Only a Foundation Establishment old man was sitting there.

"What do you want to do?" The old man asked lazily without raising his head.

"Rent a cave!" Chu Jun said indifferently.

The old man took out a pile of jade tokens and placed them on the table. There were about fifteen or sixteen of them. He casually said, "That's all that's left. Choose one!"

Chu Jun stretched out his divine sense and scanned the jade tablets. He discovered that these jade tablets were inscribed with extremely complicated array runes, and there were numbers inscribed in the middle. They should be the numbers of the caves they belonged to.

"This is it!" Chu Jun picked up the jade token numbered 58.

The Foundation Establishment Elder lazily said, "Number 58. The rent is 50 spirit crystals a month. How long do you plan to stay?"

Fifty spirit crystals a year was too cheap. Chu Jun said directly, "Ten years!"

The Foundation Establishment Elder couldn't help but look at Chu Jun in surprise. Because the cultivators of the Divine Hall had to complete the task of killing insects every year, no one was sure that they would be alive next year. Therefore, most of the cultivators rented their caves year by year, or even month by month. Very few people rented them for ten years at a time. Unless they were sure that they would not need to go abroad to do missions in the next ten years, they could stay in the cave and cultivate peacefully.

"Could it be that this not-so-shocking yellow-faced brat has actually done all the insecticidal missions for the next ten years?" The Foundation Establishment Elder thought to himself.

The old man squeezed out a smile and said, "The rules cannot be broken. Please show me the Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When the old man saw Chu Jun's expression, his smile immediately disappeared. His old eyes narrowed slightly and he repeated, "Please show me the Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum!"

"This is our Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum!"

Just as Chu Jun was shouting, A-Chou took out two jade tokens in the shape of strips with a calm expression and handed them over. One was shining with silver light, while the other was shining with golden light.

Chu Jun looked at Ah Chou in surprise, but he immediately returned to normal.

The Foundation Establishment Elder took the two pieces and placed them on a research platform. The research platform immediately lit up, and a light screen appeared automatically. Han Han and Han Xue's names appeared on the screen, as well as the images of two people beside them.

The Foundation Establishment Elder carefully sized up the two of them before handing the two jade ultimatums back to Ah Chou. He nodded and said, "You can stay for six thousand spirit crystals. Please take the jade token!"

After handing over the six thousand spirit crystals, Chu Jun and Ah Chou left the Division Hall. According to the directions given by the road signs, they quickly found the cave numbered Wu 58.

The Mysterious Grade cave was much better than Chu Jun had imagined. There was a courtyard that was close to fifty cubic meters with three tall spirit trees and even a flower bed.

Chu Jun nodded in satisfaction, "This place is not bad. There is also a flower garden!"

Ah Chou glanced at Chu Jun and said indifferently, "These flower beds should have been left behind by the previous owner. There are no flower beds in the standard Profound Rank caves."

"Then our luck is pretty good!" Chu Junruo looked at Ah Chou meaningfully and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me where those two Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatums came from?"

"You already guessed it, so why ask!" Ah Chou replied.

Chu Jun was slightly embarrassed. He nodded and said, "That friend of yours is truly capable. He was actually able to obtain even the Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum, and he even injected divine light into it."

Ah Chou said calmly, "She really doesn't have the ability to get the Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum, but she can get as many fakes as she wants!" As he spoke, he tossed the golden jade ultimatum to Chu Jun.

"Fake?" Chu Jun couldn't help but blurt out in shock. He stretched out his hand to take the jade ultimatum and swept it. He discovered that the jade ultimatum was engraved with extremely complicated array runes, which clearly contained the aura of the blazing sun.

"My friend is a tool forging grandmaster. It's not difficult to imitate a Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum. The raging sun divine light on it was drawn from a real Profound Heaven Jade ultimatum." Ah Chou explained.

The doubt in Chu Jun's heart couldn't help but lessen a lot. He praised, "I didn't expect you to have such a powerful friend."

"She can't be considered a friend. It's just that she owed me a favor back then. This time, she has paid me off!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but frown, "Is this person reliable?"

Ah Chou nodded and said, "Although she has an odd personality, she keeps her promise. Moreover, she made a fake Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum for us. If the Xing Dian finds out about this, she will not end well, so there is no need to worry that she will leak the secret."

Chu Jun said worriedly, "Will this fake Profound Heaven Jade Ultimatum be seen through?"

"Didn't you see it just now? You even tricked a special identification ultimatum magic treasure!" Ah Chou replied.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "That's true. In the future, we will stay here. When will we start refining pills?" He urgently needed to make up for the deficiencies of the divine art and improve his own strength.

"To refine a divine pill, you must first prepare the tools and divine medicines to refine it!"

"I have pill refining tools, but where can I find divine medicines? Can I buy them?"

"The pill refining tools of your lower realms can only be used to refine spirit pills and ordinary divine pills. To refine the Double Yang Pill and the Heavy Moon Pill, you must use special divine pill tools. These must be purchased by the God Race."

Chu Jun frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

"I have a way to get the pill refining tools, but you have to find the divine pills yourself!" Ah Chou said.

"Where can I find it?"

"There are two ways. One is to go to the mountains and pick it yourself. However, this is a waste of time. Moreover, high-grade divine medicines are hard to find."

"What about the second way?" Chu Jun hurriedly asked.

A Chou's eyes lit up and he said indifferently, "Go steal from the Divine Medicine Garden. There is a Divine Medicine Garden near the Spirit Mountain. All divine medicines below the fifth level can be found. However, the Divine Medicine Garden is heavily guarded. Make your own decision!"
