Chapter 9 - Collecting Treasures

Lin Xuan was happy to clean up his spoils, this sister was ruthless, but her wealth was really rich, Lin Xuan found six lower grade crystals, two spiritual weapons, and a jade bottle from his storage bracelet, opened the stopper, immediately the fragrance wafted out, inside lay two snow white marrow cleansing pills, in addition to some talismans.

The so-called talisman refers to the cultivator sealing the spell inside a specific talisman paper, so that when fighting against the enemy, not only does it not need to consume spiritual power, but also can be issued instantly, the benefits are obvious, of course, the production of talisman is very complicated, not only need specific talisman paper, but also consume a lot of spiritual power, and the success rate is not high, the more advanced the spell, the more difficult to produce, so the talisman is also considered rare and precious in the cultivation world.

Lin Xuan took an inventory and found that there were seven talismans in total, with spells of various attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth included in them.

Of course, the most precious of all the loot belonged to the spiritual weapons, knowing that even for experts at the Foundation Establishment stage, spiritual weapons were very valuable.

The other was the flying sword, which would be an offensive spirit weapon, and Lin Xuan played with it lovingly, both of which were top quality spirit weapons and precious.

It was a pity that his cultivation level was too shallow, he had to practice his Spiritual Movement stage technique to the fourth level before he could drive the spiritual weapon. Lin Xuan put everything back into his storage bracelet, this experience was dangerous but the harvest was very rich, and there was still one more person's stuff waiting to be collected, Zhang Yu was a Foundation Establishment stage expert, he thought his fortune would be even richer.

Lin Xuan put the storage bracelet away and was about to turn around when his heart suddenly moved and he stopped in his tracks. His gaze fell on Zhou Yan's left hand, which was dead, but she still had a small sandalwood box tugged tightly in her hand.

It was for the treasure inside that Zhou Yan had disobeyed the regicide master, what kind of precious things did it contain?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan walked over and took the locket from the corpse's hand with some disgust, but did not open it immediately, but examined it with a grave expression, then gently placed it on the ground, while he himself withdrew a distance of seven or eight steps.

He broke off a branch and carefully opened the lid of the box, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, several small arrows were shot out from inside, so fast that it was amazingly fast.

The small arrows hit a nearby tree, which immediately withered, coated with a powerful poison, but Lin Xuan looked as normal, not even blinking, as he had expected, such a treasure must have a mechanism.

After the lid was opened, he didn't go there immediately, but waited for another ten minutes to make sure there was no more danger before carefully picking the box up.

The shell was brilliantly coloured and had a strange pattern on its surface. Although he did not recognise it, it did not look like a mundane product at first glance.

After a while, Lin Xuan's hesitant eyes became firm, and with a slight effort, he opened the shell, and the secret should be inside.

It was indeed not an ordinary shell, there were no pearls inside, but some blue dots of light wandering around, those dots of light were very beautiful, just like the stars in the sky, slowly rotating like a beautiful sea of stars.

Lin Xuan frowned, unable to figure out what these were, and was about to close the shell and study it later, but at that moment, something wonderful happened, the sea of stars began to change, spinning faster and faster, and then drifted over like Lin Xuan, subconsciously, Lin Xuan tried to dodge, but the speed of those dots of light was too fast, and before he could act, they all merged into his body.

The pain was so intense that every inch of his skin from head to toe felt like it was going to tear open. Lin Xuan fell to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurred and he fainted, while the shell that had lost its blue light dots quickly petrified, then weathered into sand and drifted away with the wind.

...

In the early morning, the sun rose, casting warmth onto the earth, along with a slight groan, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, it was clearly noon when he lost consciousness, had he been unconscious for a day and a night?

Sitting up, the unbearable pain had completely disappeared, but Lin Xuan did not feel refreshed either, after all, he had slept in the wilderness all night.

He moved his arms and legs, which were a little numb, and examined his body again, but found nothing unusual.

Lin Xuan was silent for half a second, then without a word, he came next to Zhou Yan's corpse and, holding back his disgust, threw her inside the trap. Next, Lin Xuan went to the spot where Zhang Yu had been assassinated and first collected his treasures, what he got was a storage belt, the contents of which were too late to check, and it was imperative to leave this place of right and wrong.

His body was dragged over and dumped inside the trap as well.

"No matter what grudges you had in life, people die like lamps, so don't mind being buried together in one cave." Lin Xuan said a silent prayer, then filled in the earth and carefully erased all traces of the surrounding area, this place was already off the beaten track, and after this arrangement of his, I believe no one would find out that there were two cultivators sleeping here.

After all this, Lin Xuan did not delay any longer and returned to the Piao Yun Valley. Despite the shocking experience, Lin Xuan looked as normal as ever and could not see the slightest difference, just as if nothing had happened.

He could not see anything different from his demeanour.

Just like that, Lin Xuan returned to his place, and then the first thing he did was to close the doors and windows, take out the storage belt he had received from Zhang Yu, and start taking inventory.
