It Will Appear when It Should Appear
The tall old man, whose real name is Gao Jianfeng, was already a rare billionaire in China more than 30 years ago. But what really made him famous across the country was not his wealth or his story of rags to riches, but the fact that he announced 30 years ago that he would give up all his property and go to Mount Zhongnan to become a hermit.
Although qigong was very popular at that time, the fact that a billionaire gave up his wealth to become a hermit in the mountains still shocked the whole country, and attracted many TV stations and journalists to Mount Zhongnan to interview him. Because of his story, the hermits in the mountains also became a little famous.
At the same time, because of this incident, he had a high reputation among some hermits in Zhongnan Mountain. After all, he was a man who was willing to give up tens of millions of properties for the sake of cultivation. Therefore, after the madness incident, many hermits were willing to follow him into the Tomb of the Living Dead and elected him as the chief of the newly built hermit village.

They never expected that this person was actually Yue Buqun, who had been enduring for so many years just for the underground spiritual veins of Zhongnan Mountain. He also treated them as tools, and they had been digging cracks in the ground for him to reach the underground spiritual veins for thirty years.
"Gao Jianfeng! Are you still talking like a human being?" One of the villagers couldn't hold back his anger and pointed at him and started to curse: "You actually lied to us for thirty years! We thought you were our guide on the path of cultivation and chose you as the village chief! Are you still human?"
“Hmph, now that things have come to this, I won’t pretend anymore. I’m going to reveal my cards!” The tall old man looked gloomy and sneered, “The underground spiritual veins are moving, which means my plan is about to succeed. There’s no doubt that the group of people digging for the spiritual veins below have been shaken to death. Of course, I will go down and collect their bodies later, and you guys just stay here and honestly witness my step to immortality! Hahaha!”

"It seems that you are not only an idiot, but also a mentally retarded person." Xia Tian shook his head and said sarcastically.
"Boy, I don't know which faction sent you here, but you'd better not get in my way today." After the tall old man revealed his cards, his whole demeanor changed. Compared to the previous arrogance, he became more gloomy. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"With your strength, you don't seem to be qualified to say that." Shi Chun found it a little funny.
The tall old man sneered and said proudly, "In order to achieve immortality, I have worked hard for more than 30 years and gave up tens of millions of assets. Do you really think I am alone?"
"What do you mean?" many villagers asked in surprise and doubt.
“Humph, I’ll let you open your eyes again today!” The tall old man suddenly tore off his clothes, revealing the black fluorescent tights underneath. The whole person was looming in the darkness, but his voice was still loud, “See it, see it clearly, see it clearly!”

"Is this an invisibility technique?"
"That's impossible. Even if he really has the invisibility technique, his skills are not good enough."
"But if it wasn't for the invisibility technique, how did he do it just now?"

“…”
Seeing this, some people couldn't help but scream. Although the villagers were all hermits and claimed to be practitioners, they actually had no cultivation and hadn't even reached the threshold of the Qi Refining Stage. However, they had a wealth of theoretical knowledge about cultivation.
"Brother-in-law, this guy is amazing." Shi Chun couldn't help but admire him and said to Xia Tian, "You don't even know how to become invisible, but he can do it."
Xia Tian curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "He doesn't know any invisibility skills at all, and he didn't become invisible just now."

"What is going on?" Ning Ruirui was also a little confused.
"I'm just wearing a piece of clothing that distorts my vision." Xia Tian explained lazily, "It only works in places like this where there's not enough light. If you take it outside, it'll just be funny."
"Bullshit!" The tall old man was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard Xia Tian's words. "I didn't give up all my assets back then. Instead, I invested all my money in a foreign project to research invisible cloaks. Not long ago, they finally succeeded in developing it. Haha, science helped me achieve what spiritual practice couldn't do."
Shi Chun asked in confusion: "Why don't you just continue to use science to study immortality? Why bother digging for the underground spiritual veins?"

When the tall old man heard this, he was stunned and actually felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Because he doesn't have that much money." Xia Tian complained at the right time, "In fact, tens of millions of assets should not be enough to research and develop invisible cloaks. What these people are wearing must be pirated, not very useful."
"Shut up!" The tall old man was so angry that he was fuming. He shouted, "I don't have time to waste with you here. I am just reminding you out of our thirty years of friendship. After I become an immortal, the underground spiritual veins may collapse. If you don't want to die, run away now, as far as you can."

The villagers rushed towards the tall old man with great excitement.
The tall old man turned around and glanced at the crack in the ground, estimated the time, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the hidden guard!"

As the shouting continued, dots of fluorescent light flashed from time to time in the darkness. The sharp-eyed people quickly saw the true identity of those fluorescent lights, and they were people wearing black fluorescent tights like the tall old man.
“Bang, bang, bang!”

The villagers who rushed to the crack were suddenly knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.
The tall old man showed up with a smug smile on his face: "Do you really think I'm alone? Thirty years ago, in addition to the invisibility cloak, I also made other preparations."
"When did these people appear?" the woman in coarse cloth asked in amazement, "Why didn't we notice anything?"

Xia Tian yawned lazily and said, "It's not about when they appeared, but how long you have lived here that they have lived."
"Doctor Xia, I don't quite understand what you mean." The woman in coarse cloth looked confused.
Xia Tian curled his lips, thinking that this woman was also a fool, and said casually: "They are the same as you. Is that clear enough?"
Most villagers still didn't understand what it meant.

"Uncle Xia means that these people are also from the Hermitage Village." The little Taoist Nun Nianxin understood it instantly, "Mom, they may be the people who escaped from our village before."
“Tsk tsk tsk, Nian Xin, I didn’t expect you to be so smart.” The tall old man grinned and readily admitted, “Yes, more than 20 years ago, the so-called dead, missing, and escaped hermits were actually bought by me and became my subordinates.”
The villagers of the Hermit Village were all a little devastated at this point. They couldn't accept the fact that the tall old man had plotted against them to such an extent.
At this moment, a long roar suddenly came from underground.

"Okay, everything is ready down there." The tall old man showed an ecstatic look on his face, and said to everyone, "I won't talk to you any more. Thirty years of hard work is finally bearing fruit. When I become an immortal, I'll come up and chat with you guys!"
After saying this, his body disappeared into the darkness, and not even a speck of firefly light could be detected.
"Let's go together, don't let this old thief succeed!" One of the villagers shouted, and then they all rushed forward again. Unfortunately, before they could get close to the crack in the ground, they were kicked back by the hidden guards again.
"Lend me your daughter." The voice of a tall old man suddenly sounded in the air.

"Ah, Nianxin is missing." Then, the woman in coarse cloth was shocked to find that the little Taoist nun Nianxin was no longer around her, and she screamed immediately.
Shi Chun and Ning Ruirui were more concerned about the little Taoist nun Nian Xin, and immediately started looking for Nian Xin's whereabouts.
"Over there, she seems like she is about to jump." Shi Chun raised his hand and pointed to the crack in the ground. Sure enough, he saw the little Taoist nun Nian Xin floating in the house with her collar bulging high, obviously she had been caught by someone.

"Nian Xin!" The woman in coarse cloth rushed forward, but was stopped by the hidden guards.
Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun looked at each other, rushed over without hesitation, slapped away the hidden guards with one palm, and then jumped into the crack in the ground.
There are several spacious corridors under the cracks in the ground, which are believed to lead to the underground spiritual veins.
"Over there!" Shi Chun spotted the figure of the little Taoist nun Nian Xin in the dark and immediately chased after her, with Ning Ruirui following closely behind.
After entering the corridor, Shi Chun and Ning Ruirui had been sliding down, just like the slides in an amusement park. However, the design of these corridors was quite user-friendly. In order to avoid excessive acceleration, there were deceleration devices at regular intervals, as well as small platforms for rest.
However, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun are both cultivators, so this speed poses no threat to them at all.
I don't know how long I slid, but I finally reached the end of the corridor, which was an extremely spacious corridor. It seemed that this should have been an underground river, but later it was artificially transformed into a rather spacious riverbank.
"There's light ahead, Sister Ruirui, let's go over there." Shi Chun had the best eyesight and quickly found the direction, "And there's the scent of Nian Xin over here."
Ning Ruirui nodded, suddenly pulled Shi Chun, and walked to the front: "Be careful, there may be an ambush nearby."
"Sister Ruirui, don't worry. An ambush won't pose a threat to us." Shi Chun laughed, feeling happy. "Besides, we still have my brother-in-law to back us up."
"You said summer, he didn't come down." Ning Ruirui answered casually.
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked, and there was indeed no one behind him: "No way, is my brother-in-law so slow, or does he think there is no problem with the two of us, so he doesn't come with us?"
Ning Ruirui answered casually: "Don't bother thinking about it, he will show up when he is supposed to."
"Humph, he won't show up." A voice that came and went suddenly sounded in the air, "Because he will die soon, and so will you!"
