In the far west, there were more sects than just the Jiuxiao Sect.
There were dozens of sects, big and small, once led by the Jiuxiao Sect. But now, Jiuxiao had completely declined.
Not even a single high-level expert could be found. What a tragedy.
Now was the time. To these sects, Jiuxiao’s vast land and resources were irresistibly tempting.
Strike while the iron is hot. Take the opportunity when someone is down.
Although they might not completely destroy Jiuxiao, wouldn’t it be reasonable to demand it relinquish these resources?
Survival of the fittest, the strong thrive while the weak perish. Jiuxiao had held the position of dominance for far too long—it was time for them to step down.
After hearing this news, the sects big and small began secretly plotting.
The throne of dominance in the far west was ready to change hands.
Some leaders of smaller sects expressed concern, “Fellow sect leaders, Jiuxiao is allied with the Holy Sect. Are we not afraid of repercussions by doing this?”
“Haha, you worry too much. Do you know why Jiuxiao declined? Let me tell you. Jiuxiao’s downfall was due to their war against the Holy Sect. Han Yongyi and other senior elders perished in that battle. Tell me, can Jiuxiao still be considered allies with the Holy Sect?”
“Furthermore, I’ve learned that the peak master of the Holy Sect’s Jialan Peak died in that war. Right now, the two sects are practically enemies.” One sect leader laughed.
Upon hearing this, everyone was indeed tempted. This was a golden opportunity right in front of them. To let it go would be a huge loss.
Then they began discussing how to divide Jiuxiao’s resources, as if Jiuxiao was already theirs.
…
The Holy Sect.
“Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable…” Lin Fan stared at the treasures before him, swallowing hard.
So many treasures dazzled the eyes.
He casually picked up a pitch-black stone.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Mei Lun Stone.”
“Mei Lun Stone: Contains the essence of rules, accelerates the formation of rule chains.”
This unassuming item turned out to be a rare treasure. Truly, the Holy Sect’s wealth was admirable.
“This is good. Mi Qiongqi has already reached the Great Heaven Stage. This can help him refine his rule chains.” As Lin Fan was about to put the “Mei Lun Stone” into his bag, a figure suddenly flashed by.
The Mei Lun Stone flew from his hand.
“Who are you? Why are you here in the treasure vault?” A treasure spirit, formed from condensed treasure aura, floated midair, eyeing Lin Fan warily. To the treasure spirit, anyone entering the vault without depositing treasures was no good.
“You are the treasure spirit here?” Lin Fan glanced at it. Why did the treasure spirit here look exactly like the one from Jiuxiao Sect? Could it be that all treasure spirits looked like this?
“That’s right, I am the treasure spirit here. Hmph, you have the sect leader’s token? Did the sect leader send you to take treasures? Hurry up and tell me what you need, then leave quickly.” The treasure spirit spoke unfriendly, looking at Lin Fan with hostility.
Every year, there were always a few days that made the treasure spirit furious, because treasures always went missing after someone visited.
“The sect leader asked me to take half of the treasures.” Lin Fan carefully examined the treasures around him, nodding repeatedly. All treasures indeed.
As soon as Lin Fan said this, the treasure spirit exploded.
“What? Did you just say half the treasures? Are you trying to kill me?” At this moment, the treasure spirit was furious, its gaze toward Lin Fan now like that of a mortal enemy.
Lin Fan looked at the treasure spirit and shook his head, “Compared to the treasure spirit from Jiuxiao Sect, you are truly disappointing.”
“You… you dare say I’m inferior to my younger brother? I… I…” Upon hearing this, the treasure spirit was so angry it spat out a mouthful of treasures.
Lin Fan was also stunned. He had seen people spit blood before, but never seen someone spit treasures.
What Lin Fan didn’t expect was that this treasure spirit was actually brothers with Jiuxiao’s treasure spirit. That was indeed quite frustrating.
“Treasure spirit, let him take half the treasures.” At this moment, a voice came from the void.
“Sect Leader…” The treasure spirit cried out unwillingly. But the sect leader’s heart was even more pained at this moment, with no time to comfort the treasure spirit.
“No…” The treasure spirit raised its head and spat furiously, treasures flying out of its mouth like rain.
“Wow, so many hidden treasures…” Lin Fan was stunned. He originally thought there were already plenty of treasures in the vault, but judging from the treasure spirit’s spewing rhythm, there were even more.
“Are you really going to take my treasures?” After spewing enough, the treasure spirit glared at Lin Fan, its hands clenched tightly.
“Yes, exactly.” Lin Fan nodded seriously. Was this treasure spirit going to fight him?
“Fine, you can take them, but I’ll be watching you.” The treasure spirit panted angrily.
Lin Fan shook his head. What an idiot… He thought they were going to fight.
Then Lin Fan started wandering inside, picking out some particularly interesting treasures.
At this moment, Lin Fan was attracted by a transparent orb. Inside it, a purple glow was swirling.
Lin Fan picked up this orb.
“This item is bad. It’s the worst in the entire treasure vault. That one next to it is better.” As soon as the treasure spirit saw this guy picking up the orb, its heart ached.
Looking at the treasure spirit floating beside him, watching him with pleading eyes, Lin Fan slightly smiled, “Ah, you’re not bad either. I can’t just take the good ones. Since this is the worst, I’ll take it, so you won’t be too heartbroken.”
Without the system’s identification, he might have been tricked by this treasure spirit.
Zi Qi Yuan Dan, such a remarkable item, was actually called waste. Truly ingenious thinking.
“Pu…”
At this moment, the treasure spirit spat furiously again. It felt that since its formation, it had never felt such pain before. Even its heart and liver ached so much it almost spat out.
At this moment, the treasure spirit saw this annoying guy picking up another item and immediately said, “This one is good. This is the most precious item in the entire treasure vault. If you take it, I will be heartbroken.”
Lin Fan was slightly stunned, then smiled, finally sighing.
What was this treasure spirit’s mind made of? So cunning.
Although the item in his hand was also a treasure, it had specific requirements. It wasn’t a particularly good treasure. Yet this guy described it as the most precious treasure. What talent.
The treasure spirit now thought it had figured out the other’s mentality. Now that it said something was a good treasure, it was sure this guy would take it.
Identifying treasures, who could rival me? Could this guy possibly match my treasure spirit’s eyesight? Simply asking for trouble.
“Okay, since that’s the case, I won’t take it then. I can’t let you be heartbroken.” Lin Fan smiled and said.
“Ah… Actually, you can take it. Although my heart aches, as long as you are happy.” The treasure spirit was stunned, a bit confused.
“Forget it, there are so many treasures here, no need to take this one. I think this one here is okay.” At this moment, Lin Fan looked at another treasure beside it.
As soon as the treasure spirit saw this, it was immediately shocked, “This one is good, it’s…”
Before the treasure spirit could finish speaking, Lin Fan had already put this item into his bag.
The treasure spirit floated stupidly in the void, then couldn’t bear it anymore and spat furiously again. Treasures emitting treasure aura flew in the air.
Lin Fan didn’t want to look anymore. He simply waved his hand, taking half of the treasures into his bag.
Naturally, Lin Fan had self-restraint. He said half, and it was exactly half. He wouldn’t take even one more treasure.
Then Lin Fan didn’t look back at the treasure spirit spitting furiously in the void and walked out directly.
“Treasure spirit, take care and rest. You’ve been spitting a bit too frequently.”
At this moment, in several places of the Holy Sect, a dull sound echoed.
“Pu…”
At this moment, not only the treasure spirit spat, but on several peaks of the Holy Sect, people also spat together.
