Chapter 62 Duanmu Yan's Deal
Chapter 62 Duanmu Yan's Deal
Stared at by a Core Formation cultivator, the three exchanged bewildered glances.
The next moment, Wang Debao was the first to jump out, took off the storage bag, and poured out all the contents.
Wu Yun clenched his fist, then relaxed it and tossed the storage bag out without a word.
Xiao Ming also took the opportunity to untie the storage bag and empty the contents, but there were no treasures such as the Divine Light Mirror and Blood Marrow Mushroom inside.
You should know that he has an omnipotent spatial ability. As long as the selected treasure is placed inside, even a Core Formation stage cultivator would have no chance of discovering it.
Duanmu Yan's gaze swept over the items on the ground, and at the same time, an invisible wave emanated from his body, sweeping back and forth over the three people before finally settling on each item.
The first to be affected are those spiritual herbs and medicines, some of which are hundreds of years old and others thousands of years old.
Even though he was a Core Formation Elder, when he saw these spiritual herbs and medicines, the coldness on Elder Duanmu Yan's face instantly disappeared, and he even showed a rare smile.
Zong Zhengguang and the other Foundation Establishment deacons standing to the side stared wide-eyed, some even regretting that they hadn't entered the secret realm first.
Seeing all the spiritual herbs and medicines they had risked their lives to harvest from the spiritual herb garden being taken away like this, it was impossible for the three of them not to feel heartbroken, but for the moment they could only lower their heads and stand obediently.
Suddenly at that moment, Duanmu Yan pointed his finger, and an empty jade box flew up.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the empty jade box cracked open again, revealing the hidden compartment below, inside which was a Blood Marrow Fungus.
Wang Debao, standing to the side, showed a hint of headache in his eyes. Blood Marrow Mushroom was precious, and he had originally hoped to hide it in a hidden compartment to get away with it. However, how could such a small trick possibly deceive the divine sense of a Core Formation Elder?
Duanmu Yan looked up at Wang Debao, and the chubby boy's face turned pale instantly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Duanmu Yan did not react. He just snorted disdainfully and then put away the Blood Marrow Fungus.
The elder, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, swept his gaze across the area and then settled on the flawed magical artifacts that Xiao Ming had collected. With a wave of his hand, the artifacts appeared before him.
However, when his divine sense swept over these magical artifacts, only the spirit boat showed a slight reaction. Duanmu Yan immediately lost interest in these defective items and threw them all on the ground.
Then Duanmu Yan focused his attention on the jade slips. He placed each jade slip on his forehead, trying to read the information inside, but all he could do was let out a helpless sigh.
"It's a pity that so much time has passed; the information in the jade slip has become completely distorted."
They didn't get any information from the jade slip. Instead, Xiao Ming took some books from the bookshelf, and Duanmu Yan picked out a few books on weapon crafting techniques.
Next, Duanmu Yan picked out some items that caught his eye from the other two people.
He then withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and the items returned to their respective storage bags, flying to the three of them.
"The three of you are quite good. After this matter is over, you can be promoted to inner disciples upon returning to the sect."
Upon hearing this, the three of them finally showed joy.
"Thank you, Elder Duanmu!"
"You three, write down the areas you've explored." Zong Zhengguang walked over and handed paper and pens to the three of them.
In the following time, the Radiant Flying Boat continued to shuttle through the secret realm, rescuing sect disciples one by one.
Of course, every rescued disciple, like the three others, would be searched by Duanmu Yan, who would take away their valuables. At the same time, Zongzheng Guang would also have them record the areas they explored in order to prepare for drawing maps later.
Besides the Gu Ling Sect's Radiant Flying Boat, the Beast Spirit Sect was doing the same thing, with Elder Zhong controlling the Cloud Mist Dragon, which rolled through the sea of clouds.
His face didn't look too good, because a few days ago, the life jade of his direct descendant had shattered.
Both sides are trying their best to recover the surviving disciples, while the disciples of the Corpse Soul Sect are all tacitly agreed to be robbed and then left to fend for themselves.
"That old ghost Ling hasn't reacted at all after all this time. Could it be that he really perished here?" Duanmu Yan stood on the Radiant Cloud Flying Boat, looking ahead, and muttered to himself.
He had clearly sensed Ling Laogui's aura inside the red coffin, but then the red coffin inexplicably exploded.
Does this situation mean that Ling Laogui is likely doomed?
Despite his physical body being destroyed and his cultivation damaged, he still wanted to enter this place a second time, which clearly meant that there was something here that had a fatal attraction for Ling Laogui.
But now it seems that this treasure isn't so easy to obtain.
After much deliberation, Duanmu Yan ultimately prevailed over greed. This inexplicable ghost tide was no simple matter. Duanmu Yan could sense that it might contain beings that even he himself feared. Rushing in rashly could easily turn him into another Ling Laogui.
Just then, the Cloud Mist Dragon of the Beast Spirit Sect broke through the sky and arrived. Duanmu Yan immediately sent a telepathic message to it.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, I would like to have a talk with you."
"Fellow Daoist Duanmu, what do you wish to discuss?" A man with one shoulder bare and various animal tattoos on his body flew out from the Cloud Mist Dragon.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, things are unpredictable in this secret realm right now. Who knows what will happen next? That old ghost Ling was so obsessed with fighting for it that he might have already perished here. This treasure is good, but you have to be alive to get it. I think we should reconsider our plans."
"How should we proceed with this long-term plan? Fellow Daoist Duanmu, please explain in detail."
"If Old Ghost Ling has already perished, the Corpse Soul Sect will definitely take action, and perhaps even the Profound Yin Ancestor of the Corpse Soul Sect will be alarmed. If that Nascent Soul Ancestor comes in person, we will have no choice but to act according to their wishes."
"Therefore, why don't we immediately return to the outside world, seal the entrance, and report to the Supreme Elder for a decision?"
"Fellow Daoist's suggestion is excellent." Elder Zhong laughed heartily.
He had this idea long ago, but it wouldn't have mattered if he had retreated with his men and gained nothing. What would have been worrying was if Duanmu Yan and the people of the Gu Ling Sect had made a huge gain in this secret realm.
Now that both sides have retreated together, it can be considered a win-win situation.
The two parties reached an agreement, and the Radiant Flying Boat immediately turned and headed towards the exit.
Xiao Ming found a corner on the ship to meditate. After a while, he finally recovered his magical power and stood up again. He walked to the edge of the spirit boat and observed the scene outside.
Protected by the spiritual energy shield of the Radiant Cloud Flying Boat, these ghostly creatures could not get within three zhang of the boat.
"Junior Sister Yan hasn't returned yet. Could she have perished?"
Thinking this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh. Among all the people he had ever met, this woman was definitely a remarkable woman with both character and skill. It was truly a pity that she had perished here.
