#1778 - Windfall (IV)

Thus, the group ceased their chatter and, in the ensuing silence, quickly inventoried the dozens of talismans, discovering that there were six top-tier, high-grade talismans among them.

This overjoyed them, their eyes gleaming with desire for the talismans. Even the taciturn Madam Yan and Xiahou Jian showed a flicker of interest, finally stirred.

It should be noted that, with Wu Fan's current talisman-making skills, he could barely produce such talismans, and only if he could find Rank 7 or higher demonic beasts and utilize their beast souls, demonic cores, demonic blood, and other materials. The conditions were exceptionally stringent, and the difficulty was considerable; they couldn't be made casually.

Looking back over the years, he had only managed to create one Beast Spirit Talisman, and that was thanks to the opportunity he had when he killed Long Yan in the Star Ocean Domain.

Yet, here there were six, and each with different types and uses, including those with offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as those that could conceal forms and seal primordial spirits, and even one for escape—the one that Gong Yugan wanted.

So many valuable treasures naturally delighted them. Frankly, even if they used them well, they would be life-saving items.

As for the other talismans, there were ten top-tier, mid-grade ones, and the remaining nineteen were top-tier, low-grade, each with different types as well.

However, apart from Gong Yugan, the others were satisfied with these talismans but not particularly interested.

Therefore, after exchanging glances, they tacitly walked towards the door without saying a word.

Gong Yugan noticed Madam Yan and Xiahou Jian's lack of interest, shrugged, and followed closely behind Wu Fan.

Soon, after Wu Fan successfully broke the restriction, they arrived at the third room.

Possibly measured when the rooms were created, this room was about the same size as the other two, only differing in the number of shelves.

Here, there were over thirty shelves, with thousands of wooden boxes, jade boxes, and other containers of different shapes and sizes, each with a talisman affixed to it.

The only difference was that there were no wooden nameplates hanging beside these shelves, making it impossible to quickly identify what was in the boxes.

However, as soon as they entered the room, they faintly smelled the aroma of herbs. With their quick minds, they immediately guessed that this was a room filled with spiritual herbs.

Wu Fan, Huangfu Sheng, and Gong Yugan smiled at each other, glanced at the two who were still sullen, and then strode over to investigate.

However, as Wu Fan approached, just as he was about to tear off a talisman and open the lid, he immediately stopped. He noticed writing on the lid, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but grin.

The spiritual herb information was actually recorded on it, not only labeling the name of the spiritual herb but also providing a brief introduction to its age and uses.

This saved them from having to open each one to check.

The others also noticed this and were secretly satisfied with the Qingxuan Sword Sect's thoroughness. Considering that the items in the other two rooms were also categorized and organized, it was clear that this was for easy searching.

Moreover, a crucial point was that more than one person might have had the authority to enter this treasure vault, after all, cultivators have very strong memories.

Therefore, they quickly moved among the shelves, almost just glancing at them, checking the name and age of the spiritual herb, and then moving on to another box, completely too lazy to look at the uses of the herbs.

After all, with their extensive knowledge, they didn't need to know the uses. Even if the others besides Wu Fan were not alchemists, it didn't prevent them from being familiar with treasures.

However, for safety's sake, Wu Fan still symbolically picked a few boxes to open and take a look, until he found that the spiritual herbs were intact, could be used, and matched the recorded information, before he felt relieved.

The others had done the same.

However, during the initial inspection, the expressions on their faces were blank, even slightly disappointed, until they checked the innermost shelves, when smiles finally appeared on their faces.

Wu Fan's expression, however, remained unchanged from beginning to end, the more he looked, the more bored he became, not even the spiritual herbs on the last few shelves interested him.

Because the spiritual herbs on the front shelves were relatively ordinary, they could be found in the current cultivation world, and their ages were short. As for the ones on the back shelves, they were much more precious, but Wu Fan had them all in his small space, many of which he had found in the relic's herb garden before.

For him, as long as there was one plant of any spiritual herb, it was enough for cultivation, and the ones he had obtained before were much older than the ones in this room.

Therefore, he was not moved by these spiritual herbs at all.

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the group finally reached the innermost part of the room. There, a solitary shelf stood, with a dozen boxes of various sizes on it.

Placing the shelf so solemnly in a corner, it was obvious that these were not ordinary items.

After exchanging glances, they directly released their divine senses to probe the writing.

"Eh, is this really the legendary Crimson Firmament Fire Ginseng? Heavens, it's six thousand years old. And this 'Earthen Origin Returning Ganoderma,' it's also five thousand years old. This is incredible, this is a healing treasure formed from the essence of a ten-thousand-year earth vein. Haha, this is the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Fruit, a holy medicine for resisting the heart demon tribulation, even if it's not used for alchemy, it has great effects! I never thought I could find such treasures here...!"

The next moment, Gong Yugan finally couldn't help but get excited and laughed loudly.

Only Wu Fan remained as calm as usual, just smiling symbolically.

Because he was an alchemist, he should have been extremely happy to see such treasures, he was really afraid of being seen through.

But in reality, he had found these spiritual herbs in the relic's herb garden before, and they were all over ten thousand years old.

For him, these things naturally didn't count for much.

However, even though he tried to show joy, it still made Gong Yugan pause.

"What, Wu brother doesn't like these spiritual herbs?"

As expected, with Gong Yugan's inability to hide his thoughts, he still asked.

The others also turned to look, finding Wu Fan's indifference strange, they knew he was an alchemist.

"This... of course I like them, but there are too few spiritual herbs, and you guys are here to divide them, how many can I get?"

Wu Fan glanced at the others and said with an embarrassed smile.

He really didn't dare to think what these people would think when they saw the completely harvested herb garden later, even if he lied then, no one would believe him.

"So you're worried about this, hehe, it's okay, I'll give you my spiritual herbs later, just give me a few pills after you refine them in the future,"

Gong Yugan nodded in realization, then waved his hand and said cheerfully.
