"Whether it's true or not, you'll know as soon as you go in. Besides, the courtyard can completely block even the consciousness of the Nascent Soul monks. It shouldn't be that simple." Wen Qingshan thought for a while and then said.
"Okay, since you are all here together, let's go together... eh?" Gu Shuangpu nodded, but suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking. Only then did he realize that there seemed to be one person missing.
Where is Liu Chengfeng?
Why haven't you shown up yet?
Did something happen?
Thinking back to my previous experience, this kind of thing could really happen.
It would be a pity if something happened to the other party. After all, he was a subordinate who was at the peak of the late stage of pill formation. To die here like this is definitely a huge loss.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it. The passage I just went through is still quite difficult. It's normal for the other party to be a monk in the alchemy stage and it takes a longer time.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at the young man in green robe on the other side. He was also a monk in the Dan Formation stage, but he was still in the early stages, yet the other party was able to pass the test so quickly.
From this we can conclude that it is by no means as simple as it seems. Either he was lucky, or his previous guess came true, and the other party was Ma Qiankun who was killed by him.
When I think of this, I can't help but shudder in my heart, but I have to be more careful in the future to avoid being plotted by the other party.
Wei Yurou also noticed the missing Liu Chengfeng, and turned to look at Mo Juren. A strange look flashed in her charming eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Everyone no longer hesitated, and then walked forward, and soon passed through a small fence gate and entered the courtyard. At this time, I really felt the weirdness here. The power of spiritual consciousness was completely suppressed, and I couldn't even leave the body.
The situation inside was a bit unexpected. The front of the thatched house was still desolate, but a small medicinal field was opened in the corner, and some strange elixirs grew on it. There are quite a few, fifty or sixty of them, and every one of them is tall and strong, with strong spiritual power. They are obviously not ordinary.
The moment they saw the elixir, almost everyone's eyes were filled with fire. Judging from the condition of these elixirs, they were probably over ten thousand years old and were definitely top-notch treasures.
Not to mention using it to refine some of the best elixirs useful to Nascent Soul Stage monks, just selling them would definitely make a terrifying amount of money.
The surroundings instantly became extremely quiet, and everyone present knew that facing such a big piece of 'fat', a slight mistake would lead to a violent conflict.
This is what no one wants to see. Although there are not many people present, it is a bit complicated. The four Nascent Soul Stage monks do not trust each other. Once it does take action, it is impossible to determine what the situation will eventually turn into.
Furthermore, they are just some magical medicines. No matter how precious they are, they have their limits. Fighting for them or even suffering damage is not worth the gain.
After a while, Gu Shuangpu took the lead in breaking the silence and suggested that all the elixirs should be picked and then divided into four equal portions, with each Nascent Soul stage monk getting one portion.
As for Mo Juren, the young man in green robe, and Han Yunzhi are naturally not included.
He is the last person to think about conflict. Liu Chengfeng's absence has directly weakened his strength. It would be best to solve the problem peacefully.
Unfortunately, Han Zhuo and Wen Qingshan directly chose to oppose it. Han Yunzhi is only a monk in the foundation-building stage, so it is normal not to participate in sharing the benefits. However, the two are at different pill-forming stages. A smaller share is acceptable, but it would be unkind to exclude them directly.
Gu Shuangpu was naturally unhappy when the suggestion was refuted, and then said that since this was the case, Liu Chengfeng should also get a share. It's a pity that he was rejected again. No one had any reason to share the benefits.
At this point, Gu Shuangpu's face turned completely dark, especially Han Zhuo. This guy was really hateful. He didn't care about his friendship at all in order to get an extra share of the elixir. Could it be because of the previous instigation?
Turning to look at Wei Yurou, who had not expressed an opinion, she saw that the other person was a person like him and had the same interests in this matter, so he should support his suggestion.
Unfortunately, the other party just smiled and said nothing, obviously choosing neutrality.
Gu Shuangpu's face became even more ugly. Two to one, he was completely at a disadvantage. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only agree against his will. As for this top-notch elixir, losing even one plant is a huge loss.
After some discussion, all the elixirs were finally divided into five parts, with the two monks at the elixir formation stage each taking half.
After that, it was time to pick the elixir, which was quite simple. The quantity was not large, and it took only a moment to pick it. Because of the different types of elixirs, the distribution process was inevitably subject to twists and turns. After some wrangling, it was finally completed smoothly.
Looking at the five ten thousand-year elixirs in his hand, Mo Juren was not too surprised. This thing is indeed a treasure, but it is of no use to him at all, at least for now. He has no shortage of spiritual stones or suitable elixirs. When he needs to use them many years later, he will have the means to get more. What do these two plants mean?
Several Nascent Soul stage monks are different. Some legendary ancient elixirs are elixirs that require extremely long years to refine. If they are used for ten thousand years, their medicinal properties will definitely reach the top level.
Everyone happily put away the elixir, and then looked at the row of thatched houses again, especially the largest one in the center. You don't need to think clearly, if there is anything precious, it will definitely be stored here.
Without any hesitation, several people took steps and rushed directly inside.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The empty interior of the thatched house seemed to confirm the bad premonition between Gu Shuangpu and Wen Qingshan. I am afraid that this place is really another fake ruins.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was that although it was difficult to explore the fake ruins before, there were limits after all. It's completely different here. Not only is the legendary 'Tai Xuan Divine Forbidden' set up outside, but the previous customs clearance process is also fresh in people's minds.
It was made so grand, but it was still fake, and I was a little angry no matter what. I know that this 'Tai Xuanzi' likes to play tricks on others, but this is too unreliable. Isn't this sincerely teasing others?
Mo Juren was also looking around carefully. It had to be said that it was extremely crude. Except for a carved Bagua pattern on the front wall and an extremely ordinary stone futon on the ground below, there was nothing else.
He wanted to let go of his spiritual consciousness to further explore, but unfortunately he couldn't do it at all. The suppression of his spiritual consciousness here was extremely strong, and he couldn't leave the body at all.
Gu and Wen were obviously a little unwilling, and they always felt that it was not that simple here, especially the giant gossip. It should not just be used for decoration, right?
Thinking of this, he took out his weapon almost at the same time and began to attack and test the surroundings.
The thatched house was strong enough, and it didn't suffer any damage. However, apart from this, there is nothing else special about it.
At this point, the two people who had been struggling for a long time had to accept the fact that this was an ordinary thatched house with a slight difference. Without stopping any longer, he and the young man in green robe turned around and left without hesitation. Although there is a high probability that this site is a fake ruins, you can visit the remaining eight thatched cottages, and you may gain something.
Mo Juren and others looked at each other and left the room shortly after.
In the following time, several people split up and began to search the remaining thatched houses.
What is unexpected is that the remaining thatched houses have a different look. Not only are they not empty, but they are somewhat unexpected. These thatched cottages turned out to be functional places, such as alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms, formation rooms, etc.
In short, after a search, everyone gained a lot.
What surprised everyone even more was that there was an underground stone chamber in the area behind the thatched house. They accidentally discovered this place after everyone had searched other places.
After entering, everyone was stunned. It turned out to be a storage room with a large space, more than ten feet long and wide. Although it is also very empty, there is a row of purple wooden shelves placed near one wall, divided into three levels from top to bottom, with various unknown treasures placed on them.
The flash of spiritual light not only dazzled people's eyes, but also shook everyone's minds. Especially the top floor of the wooden shelf, although there are only two items, a scroll and a small golden clock, it is not simple at first glance.
There are a lot of the same things in the two floors below, including ancient treasures, elixirs, and various rare materials. In short, both are rare treasures.
At this moment, Gu Shuangpu and Wen Qingshan both retracted their previous guesses. There is no doubt that this must be a real ruins, otherwise there would not be so many treasures.
As for the thatched cottage in the center, it should only be used for meditation.
The atmosphere in the stone chamber became weird.
Naturally, everyone wants good things, but the two best ones are obviously not enough. If you want to get them, there seems to be no other way except a fight.
"I have a proposal." But at this moment, Gu Shuangpu spoke again. Being alone, he really didn't want to have a chaotic fight. The reason was simple: he would suffer too much.
Wen Qingshan and the young man in green robe who is suspected of being Ma Qiankun are on the same side, and the strength of the two of them together is naturally not weak; and Han Zhuo, with the little monster Mo Juren and the support of a powerful spiritual beast, is also not weak.
As for Wei Yurou, she was a former mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who practiced weird blood techniques, so naturally she was not something he could compete with either.
Almost instantly, he analyzed all the pros and cons clearly. He was the weakest party. Once the chaos started, there was a high probability that he would be the first to be eliminated.
"It's not easy for everyone to reach the current state of cultivation. For us, improving our cultivation is fundamental, and treasures are just auxiliary. Fighting for these things to the point of causing casualties is not worth the gain."
I have to say that Gu Shuangpu's words are quite reasonable. If possible, no one wants to get hurt. However, facing so many treasures, it is not easy to distribute them smoothly and peacefully. Especially the two items on the top, no one wants to give up easily.
"If you have any ideas, Fellow Daoist Gu, you might as well say it directly." Wen Qingshan was the first to speak. He also valued matters related to his own interests. As for the non-compliance between the two sides, he naturally didn't care about it now. However, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the young man in green robes, and it disappeared quickly.
Gu Shuangpu paid special attention to the young man and was naturally aware of his situation. However, at this time, he was too lazy to pay attention to this. Anyway, as long as he was vigilant enough, even if the other person was that person, he could not do anything to him.
Putting away his thoughts, he continued: "No matter how good the treasure is, it will still have value after all. The top two items are not counted. The following items can be evaluated in detail and distributed equally in the end.
As for the remaining two items with the best quality, if they can be allocated the best through negotiation, if not, they can have a fair fight, and the winner will naturally be eligible to own them. "
After hearing this answer, everyone began to think deeply.
The other party's suggestion is indeed very good, and it is in everyone's interest to be able to solve the problem without conflict. As for the distribution of the last two treasures, even if it needs to be done once, the degree of conflict has been minimized.
They are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, and they will naturally make the choice that best suits their own interests. Therefore, after some thought and discussion, Jundu chose to agree.
Seeing that his opinion was adopted, Gu Shuangpu was immediately overjoyed. In this way, not only did he avoid the weakness of being alone, but he also had a chance to fight for the last two treasures.
Wei Yurou didn't say anything, but he believed that the other two, Wen Qingshan and Han Zhuo, were not weaker than each other. Under the premise of being relatively fair, I have no fear at all when fighting alone.
Unexpectedly, before he could be happy for too long, the next choice of distribution method instantly destroyed his original good mood. Surprisingly, just like the previous allocation of elixirs, two monks in the elixir formation stage were also included.
Gu Shuangpu felt that his heart was bleeding, and he even cursed Liu Chengfeng, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive. What can you do to succeed? How could something happen if I followed him before? If the other party could be here, he wouldn't be so passive, and he wouldn't even suffer such a disadvantage when distributing treasures.
What he didn't understand was that Wei Yurou, a being who obviously had great strength, chose to agree to this obviously unfavorable distribution method every time. What on earth was she thinking?
Is it true that, as in the rumors, the former opponent's cultivation has regressed due to problems with his skills, so that now he only has a superficial appearance and is simply empty?
Of course this was just a guess, and even if he had such suspicion, he would not dare to risk testing it. If you get it wrong, that would be a real tragedy.
As a last resort, he could only reluctantly agree again.
There were a lot of treasures on the shelf. Except for the two items on top, the rest were taken down and piled in a pile on the ground.
After that comes the evaluation of value, which is naturally completed by the four Nascent Soul Stage monks working together.
This took quite a while, but fortunately no one was in a hurry and immediately started discussing each item in detail. During this period, disagreements and disagreements are inevitable.
The young man in green robe who had always been taciturn was also attracted by the treasure at this moment, and kept staring closely at the discussion among several people.
On the contrary, Mo Juren, knowing that he couldn't get anything good, simply didn't bother to pay attention, and instead took Han Yunzhi to wander around the stone room.
Although this stone room looks ordinary, there is only a row of wooden shelves and nothing else inside. However, when I walked to the wall and looked closely, I discovered some details.
The entire four walls are made of square bricks carved from some kind of white jade, and a soft white light exudes in the darkness.
The surface of the jade bricks is outlined with countless lines, which look chaotic, but some of them are somewhat special, vaguely forming a strange monster pattern. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be some kind of fox-shaped monster. It was all white and had nine heads on its neck.
