Ch 36: The Rusty Sword

"That's not right!"

Alex suddenly thought of something, although the three items that Feng Yan had left behind were extremely valuable, as a Formation Grandmaster, what was the most important thing to him? This was without a doubt his knowledge of Formations.

These three things looked extraordinary, but in actuality, they were incomparable to his knowledge of Formations.

How could the things he left behind have nothing to do with formations? Although Alex did not care about any formation array, it was very likely that there were other things as well.

The only possibility was that Feng Yan was hiding his true treasures somewhere else.

"This person is quite cunning. First, he intentionally made people discover that there is something inside the coffin, then left the Soul Devouring Powder inside the coffin lid, and then he left these three items behind. If it was a normal person, they would have thought that this was the tomb's everything, and after being satisfied, they would not explore anymore, and they would have left."

After he thought this through, Alex continued to search the hall once more.

Although there were no formations in the hall, it was clear that there was still something hidden after Feng Yan had set it up.

After searching for a while, Alex still could not find anything. He could not help but suspect, could his guess be wrong?

This hall was not big. With one look, one could see that aside from the coffin, there was almost no other place to hide anything.

"Coffin?" Alex's eyes seemed to have thought of something and he walked towards the coffin once again.

Right now, other than Feng Yan's body, there was nothing else in the coffin. However, after walking around the coffin for a while, Alex immediately found some clues.

"What the... It's quite well hidden." Alex sneered and then reached out his hand to push the coffin.

With Alex's push, the coffin moved and a long groove appeared beneath the coffin. There was actually another coffin inside.

Who would have thought that there would be another coffin under this one? It was obvious that the coffins above were meant to hide things from the eyes of others so that one would be able to obtain what was inside and ignore what was underneath.

Alex also had been scammed. If not for the fact that he had thought things thoroughly, he would probably have left this place as well.

This time, Alex was much more careful and once again opened the second coffin's lid.

Feng Yan did not seem to think that someone would discover this coffin and did not set any traps.

Within this coffin was a man who looked exactly the same as the first coffin. It was obvious that the corpse in the first coffin was also a fake body.

In addition to that, there was another object inside the second coffin, it was a ring, it was actually the Spatial Ring. Geng Yan was holding the spatial ring in his hands tightly. There was also a long box placed beside Feng Yan's corpse.

"Heh, sure enough, there are other things hidden here."

Alex first picked up the spatial ring and swept it in the center.

There were a lot of miscellaneous items in the Spatial Ring and there were over ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones. There were many other things inside the Spatial Ring.

For example, there were materials needed to set up the formations. However, other than these, there were no other items of value.

Passing through all these, Alex saw an ancient book located in a corner of the space inside the spatial ring.

He took out the book and opened it. Surprisingly, the contents of the book were the array formation notes Feng Yan left behind when he was still alive.

[Name: Notebook on 1000 Formations!

Detail: Formation Master Feng Yan left behind this notebook after his death. This notebook contains information on how to set up 1000 types of formations. The highest grade of formation noted in the notebook is only Rank 5 formations.]

Even though it was just a small notebook, the value of this book was priceless. If someone were to obtain it, they could become a formation master through this book. It was even more valuable than ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones!

The status of a formation master was in no way inferior to someone who had reached Spirit Origin Stage.

The most valuable thing in this tomb was probably this notebook. The spatial ring was also not bad. It had reached a wide space inside, much wider than his current spatial ring.

Keeping the notes on 1000 types of formations into the spatial ring, Alex looked at the long box beside Feng Yan.

"What's worth it for Feng Yan to put the box aside even if he dies and not put it into the Spatial Ring?"

Alex felt that the value of this box might not be any lower than the notes on formations.

He took out the box from the coffin. This box was quite heavy. It had to be known that Alex was already a Level 9 Foundation Establishment Stage martial warrior. Normal things would not be able to make him feel this way.

"Feng Yan didn't keep the formation notes with him. Instead, he placed it inside the spatial ring. But he actually placed this box next to him as if it was his companion. What is there for him to pay so much attention to the thing inside this box?"

In doubt, Alex opened the box.

Inside the box, there was something placed quietly. The moment Alex opened it, there seemed to be a chilling aura emanating from it, causing his skin to feel pain.

It was a long sword. However, it was rusty and looked no different from a piece of scrap metal. The strange thing was, this rusted sword gave off a terrifying aura.

"Feng Yan had the Fallen Leaf Sword Art that he had placed in the first coffin. He must be using this sword to execute the Fallen Leaf Sword Art. But... Why does he need to pay so much attention to this rusted sword?"

Alex was not disappointed by the rust on the sword. For Feng Yan to treat this rusty sword this way, there must be something different about this sword.

He examined it carefully and attempted to infuse the sword with his spirit energy.

At that moment, the sword suddenly changed. Although it was still covered in rust, there was a brownish-yellow light coming from it, making it look extremely heavy.

At the same time, the moment the spirit energy entered the sword, a change happened to the longsword, and its originally not light weight once again instantly increased by another amount. Alex almost failed to grasp it.
