Chapter 1051 Whereabouts Exposed

The Wanxiang Baolu is an ancient book compiled by a great warrior named Wanxiang Xianjun hundreds of thousands of years ago. When he was about to break through to the Mahayana stage, he traveled all over the Tianchen Realm and collected rare treasures from all over the world.

The Immortal Lord Wanxiang was an expert in both alchemy and refining equipment, so when he compiled the "Wanxiang Treasure Record", he not only recorded in detail the introductions to various natural treasures, magical medicines and herbs, rare minerals, and refining materials, but also attached his own experiences and insights.

For alchemists and weapon refiners, this is simply a supreme treasure!

Although Zhou Yiqiao is not good at refining weapons, he is quite obsessed with alchemy.

Looking at the various material information and corresponding processing methods recorded in the Wanxiang Baolu, his eyes became brighter.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally closed the Record of All Things, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"With this Wanxiang Baolu, plus the experience of the Immortal Demon Lord, at least before I advance to the seventh-level alchemist, I no longer need to worry about materials and processing methods!"

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself.

He swept his eyes across the study and sorted the remaining spiritual objects into two storage bags.

Apart from this book of all treasures, none of the spiritual objects in the storage bags of Li Chengxian and the other three could catch Zhou Yiqiao's eye.

But even so, these spiritual objects are already extremely precious treasures for ordinary cultivators.

Zhou Yiqiao has already picked out the treasures that are slightly valuable, and plans to ask Lin Muzhi to send someone to send them back to the Sword Washing Pool in Wangu Mountain when the opportunity arises.

After a while of tidying up, half an incense stick of time had passed.

Zhou Yiqiao stood up and was about to leave the Heart Forging Valley when the sword formation that had been covering the outside of the Heart Forging Valley suddenly began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yiqiao heard Lin Muzhi's voice coming from outside the Forging Heart Valley.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Can you please come out and talk?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard Lin Muzhi's voice, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately opened a sword formation and appeared in front of Lin Muzhi.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what a coincidence that you came. I was just about to leave the retreat to look for you."

As he spoke, Zhou Yiqiao unreservedly released his late-stage Spiritual Transformation cultivation, causing Lin Muzhi's face to change slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you...you have actually reached the late stage of Spiritual Transformation?"

There was a hint of shock and disbelief in Lin Muzhi's voice.

He clearly remembered that when Zhou Yiqiao entered the Heart Forging Valley, his cultivation was still a long way from the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Who would have thought that after decades of entering the Heart Forging Valley, Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation had made such a leap.

If it weren't for the fact that he had personally cleaned up this Heart-Forging Valley for Zhou Yiqiao, he would almost suspect that Zhou Yiqiao had obtained some kind of heaven-defying opportunity in the Heart-Forging Valley.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled faintly, put away his spiritual pressure at the right time, and bowed towards Lin Muzhi very humbly.

"Thanks to Daoist Tolin, there is abundant spiritual energy in the Heart Forging Valley, and I was lucky enough to break through."

Having demonstrated his current value, Zhou Yiqiao didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, so he changed the subject and asked.

"I wonder what urgent matter Fellow Daoist Lin has to discuss with you?"

After hearing this, Lin Muzhi was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then he spoke.

"Back then, after Fellow Daoist Zhou reported the Shadow Alliance's actions in Xishu City to the sect, the elders in the sect went to Xishu City in person and successfully destroyed the Shadow Alliance's mine."

"The elder accidentally discovered a detailed map leading to the Shadow Alliance headquarters in the mine, as well as the Shadow Alliance's detailed plan to plot against our Tianxuan Sect."

"After discussion among the sect's top leaders, it was decided to send a group of monks to the Shadow Alliance headquarters to capture them in one fell swoop."

Having said this, Lin Muzhi suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Yiqiao in a daze, as if he wanted to see some emotion on Zhou Yiqiao's face.

Zhou Yiqiao was puzzled by Lin Muzhi's gaze and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Friend Lin, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Muzhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou also knows that our Tianxuan Sect, as the largest weapon-refining sect under the Wanfaqi Sect, has connections with all the major forces in the Tianchen Realm."

"This time, in order to encircle and suppress the Shadow Alliance, my father specially sent out invitations to various forces."

"Tianxuan Sect has been on good terms with various forces over the years, so naturally there are many forces willing to send cultivators to help."

"With the addition of these forces, our operation to encircle and suppress the Shadow Alliance was successful in just a few months."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"If that's the case, why did Fellow Daoist Lin come all the way to look for me?"

"Could there be some unexpected change?"

Lin Muzhi nodded and continued.

"All forces gave their all to help. Although the Shadow Alliance had the secret support of the High Heaven Palace, it was still no match for the other. Decades of hard work collapsed and there was no longer any resistance."

"Father was overjoyed and invited all the forces involved in this operation to hold a grand celebration banquet inside the mountain gate."

"Originally, this celebration banquet was going smoothly, but I don't know who spread the news that a young cultivator from the Wang family of Tieque Mountain insisted that Fellow Daoist Zhou was in my Tianxuan Sect and wanted to compete with Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Having said this, Lin Muzhi looked at Zhou Yiqiao cautiously, fearing that his words would cause Zhou Yiqiao's dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao's heart tightened, and he quickly used his secret technique to check his puppet in Qinjian Villa.

Only after confirming that the restrictions he had imposed on the puppet showed no signs of being triggered did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Only a few people know that I am hiding in Tianxuan Sect. Why can this small Wang family of Tieque Mountain insist that I am in Tianxuan Sect?"

After hearing this, Lin Muzhi's face changed instantly and he kept waving his hands at Zhou Yiqiao.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. You helped my Tianxuan Sect a lot with the Shadow Alliance. My Tianxuan Sect will definitely not betray Fellow Daoist Zhou's whereabouts!"

"As for why the Wang family of Tieque Mountain knew that Fellow Daoist Zhou was in Tianxuan Sect, I am also very puzzled by this matter."

Lin Muzhi explained anxiously.

“Although the Wang family cultivator is young, he is quite confident in his words, as if he is certain that Fellow Daoist Zhou is in our Tianxuan Sect.”

Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice.

"There must be something fishy about this matter. The Wang family cultivator might have been instructed by someone to deliberately spread my whereabouts in the Tianxuan Sect."

He stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then looked up at Lin Muzhi, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, now that things have come to this, if I continue to hide in Tianxuan Sect, it will not only be a potential threat to Tianxuan Sect, but also to Zhou.”

"Zhou has decided to leave Tianxuan Sect immediately to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Tianxuan Sect."
