#1765 - Qingxuan Sword Sect

“Don't worry, I already checked. There's no illusion array within this ruin. The main array only covers the area below the mountain. As for the array core, there's no need to look for it. This place is so large, it won't be easy to find. Besides, breaking the array core won't be of much use to us. When we leave, we can just return the way we came.”

Wu Fan subtly curled his lip, saying this as he ran off into the distance again. Soon, he disappeared into a room.

The others exchanged wry smiles, then stopped hesitating. They also scattered in different directions, disappearing into the cluster of houses in the blink of an eye.

………

Wu Fan chose a house nearby, which looked larger than the surrounding ones. It was made entirely of stone and looked quite grand. It was clearly not the residence of an ordinary disciple.

The house had only three rooms including the living room. Wu Fan was in the living room, casually scanning around, but he was slightly disappointed. Apart from some tables and chairs, and ordinary tea sets, there was nothing else.

As for the remaining two rooms, Wu Fan originally wanted to use his divine sense to check them out, which would save some time. However, after trying, he found that these two rooms had array protection, so he had no choice but to forcibly break the arrays.

Fortunately, they were simple arrays, easily broken with two random sword strikes.

He quickly came to one of the rooms and found it to be a bedroom. This time Wu Fan was no longer disappointed, but he wasn't exactly happy either, because on the bed, there were several pill bottles and several neatly folded sets of clothes. The stopper was missing from one of the pill bottles, indicating that it had been used.

Wu Fan stepped forward and picked up the pill bottles, checking each one. In the end, he was greatly disappointed, because they were just ordinary pills to improve the cultivation of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

He casually threw them into his small space, and then turned his attention to the clothes. He picked up a set and opened it, discovering that the words "Qingxuan Sword Sect" were sewn in gold thread on the chest of the clothes. Clearly, this ruin was the base of this sect.

Wu Fan raised his eyebrows and scanned the room again, making sure nothing was missed, then turned and went to the other room.

But as soon as he entered the room, Wu Fan was disappointed, because there was nothing in this room either. Apart from a portrait hanging on the wall, there was only a table below the portrait.

On the table was an incense burner, filled with a pile of ash from burnt incense. Wu Fan just glanced at it casually, and seeing that it was just an ordinary incense burner, he turned his attention to the portrait.

The portrait depicted an old man with white hair, standing on a cliff with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, giving people a sense of loneliness. But he looked quite lifelike. The man had white hair and an odd appearance, and carried a sheathed long sword on his back, clearly a sword cultivator.

Wu Fan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head, unable to find any memories related to this person, and had never heard of the Qingxuan Sword Sect.

“Ling'er, you come out too. This place is not small, it's too slow for me to search alone.”

Wu Fan turned to walk out, saying softly.

“Hehe, okay master.”

Soon, a white shadow flew out of the spirit beast bag, circled once, and landed on the ground, revealing Ling'er's beautiful and moving figure.

“You and I will search separately, and notify me if you find anything good.”

Wu Fan didn't waste any words. After saying that, he left the place.

Ling'er also didn't dawdle, turning into a white shadow and quickly leaving.

And so, Wu Fan quickly wandered through this area, but he didn't even glance at some of the small houses, specifically choosing to check out some of the houses that looked quite impressive.

But unfortunately, after half an hour, he gained very little, and found almost nothing of value.

What he collected the most of were probably some ordinary pills, and a dozen or so slightly damaged magical items, mostly flying swords.

Wu Fan understood in his heart that the reason these people left behind magical items before leaving was entirely because the magical items were broken and unusable, and they were in a hurry to participate in the great battle, and had no time to repair them, so they were casually left here.

As for why he collected them, it was because he found that the materials used to refine these magical items were quite unusual. It would be a pity to throw them away. It would be good to take them back to the sect for the disciples to repair, at least they would be better than what the disciples were using now.

After more than half an hour, Wu Fan finally finished searching this area. After a little thought, he decided not to waste time searching these ordinary houses, but instead prepared to follow the streets and look for the cave residences of high-level cultivators.

After all, if there were really good things, they could only be found in these places.

Then he identified a road and ran quickly.

There was no way, there were also air-restricting restrictions on this mountain top, so he couldn't fly.

But what he didn't know was that at this time, on the mountainside in another direction, several people walked in.

“Hehe, we finally got up here, but there are so many houses in this place, are we sure we still want to search for treasure together?”

That's right, the people who came were Lai Changyi and the others, and the one who spoke was the burly man.

Hearing this, the ugly woman and Lai Changyi looked at Yue Fengshan with a turn of their eyes.

“Forget it, let's split up, but the premise is that whoever finds the treasure trove first must notify everyone, and we will distribute it together at that time. Don't let me know if anyone wants to be selfish, don't blame me for being rude at that time.”

Yue Fengshan pondered for a moment, then said with a grim expression.

Obviously, he had the same idea as Wu Fan, and was not worried that these few people who didn't understand array techniques would get the treasure trove alone.

“Hehe, easy to say, easy to say.”

“Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yue, how could we do such a thing.”

“That's right, this old woman has always been upright.”

The burly man, Lai Changyi, and the ugly woman agreed one after another.

“Well, that's very good. In addition, everyone must be vigilant when searching for treasure. If you encounter those few people, quickly notify everyone to hide, and we will meet here at that time.”

Yue Fengshan nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a solemn expression.

“What, does Fellow Daoist Yue think that those few people have come up?”

The ugly woman asked with a frown.

The other two also looked over in surprise.

“I don't mean that, just to be prepared for the unexpected. You have also seen that this place is so big, it won't be possible for us to search it all in a short time. Maybe before we finish searching, those few people will come. Moreover, this place shields divine sense, even if they come up, we won't be able to find out unless we run into them head-on.”

Yue Fengshan first shook his head, and then said seriously.

“Well, Fellow Daoist Yue is right, we should indeed be careful. When you search for treasure, try to hide your figures as much as possible, and don't make too much noise. Each of us has a psychic jade pendant in our hands. If we encounter an enemy, we must remember to crush it and wait for rescue.”

Lai Changyi nodded in agreement, then looked at the others and said solemnly.

“Okay!”

……

The others naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed.

Only after the few people had discussed it properly did they hide their figures and scatter.
