Zhang Ergou thought about it, and it was true; he had been tormented by the Liuhai Sect for so long.
If he didn't take something from them, how could he live up to his wounded spirit?
The two immediately hit it off, and Xue Shan Laoren stepped forward to investigate the surrounding situation.
"There's no one around. They must all be at that damn competition opening ceremony. That's good luck for you, kid."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ergou was overjoyed. Never mind if there were any good things here or not; if there were no people, he could come and go as he pleased.
This wasn't a prison, so the guards wouldn't be that strict. If he wanted to leave, it would be easy.
With this thought, Zhang Ergou's mood settled.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave, but instead followed Xue Shan Laoren's guidance to a large secret chamber.
Pushing open the door to the chamber, he found it filled with a dazzling array of rare items.
High-level spell scrolls, elixirs, all sorts of weapons, and Zhang Ergou even discovered Dharma artifacts!
Dharma artifacts were a level higher than ordinary weapons.
Only major sects possessed them, and they were kept as sect treasures.
Zhang Ergou hadn't expected they would stumble into such a secret chamber.
This was no secret chamber; it was a treasure trove!
Without a word, Zhang Ergou began to plunder. He was like a bandit in a treasure vault, grabbing anything useful or useless and stuffing it into his Nascent Ring.
"Haha, I'm rich now! Let's see if those bastards from the Liuhai Sect dare to capture me again."
As he plundered, Zhang Ergou laughed heartily.
Xue Shan Laoren, however, remained motionless, standing by to keep watch for Zhang Ergou. But seeing the boy's unworldly demeanor, Xue Shan Laoren couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain.
Zhang Ergou paid no mind to Xue Shan Laoren's thoughts, his hands never ceasing their work.
After more than an hour of stuffing, Zhang Ergou had only managed to take one-tenth of the treasures in the secret chamber.
The Nascent Rings he was carrying were already full, with no more space.
Zhang Ergou cast a reluctant glance at the treasures still lying on the shelves. Despite his immense desire to take them all,
he was unable to do so due to the limited capacity of his Nascent Rings.
Considering that the Nascent Rings he was using could hold items within a radius of about five zhang, one could imagine the size of this secret chamber.
"Let's go, old man!"
Having finished his plunder, Zhang Ergou cast a lingering look at the treasures on the shelves not far away. With a determined heart, he beckoned Xue Shan Laoren to leave.
This place was not meant to be lingered in. He had already spent more than an hour plundering these treasures, and they needed to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave, the spiritual fire within Zhang Ergou's body stirred without any warning.
Zhang Ergou's heart immediately moved. The first time his spiritual fire had shaken, he had discovered the Ghost Spear Tianwen. The second time, it had guided him to the cliff outside the outer sect's spiritual herb garden of the Misty Sect.
There, Zhang Ergou had met Tianxu Laoren, and more importantly, he had obtained the Six Paths Reincarnation Eyes.
These were invaluable tools for his cultivation path, allowing him to learn any spell or technique with just a glance. Su Dan Novel Network.
Now, his spiritual fire was vibrating again, so there must be something good.
Zhang Ergou stood still, waiting for the spiritual fire to react further.
"Why aren't you moving?" Xue Shan Laoren turned back and asked in surprise.
He had no interest in the so-called treasures in this secret chamber. What Zhang Ergou found incredibly rare, Xue Shan Laoren couldn't even be bothered to look at.
This was the difference in their perspectives. Zhang Ergou had only been cultivating for a little over two years.
Having not seen or experienced much, he naturally thought that these items treasured by the Liuhai Sect were priceless.
Of course, anything collected by the Liuhai Sect would not be ordinary.
However, from Xue Shan Laoren's perspective of tens of thousands of years, these items were indeed beneath his notice. He had seen treasures from heaven and earth.
He had once been a part of Kunlun Mountain in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, where exotic beasts and various spiritual herbs and medicinal materials were abundant.
Having seen such high-class items, how could he be interested in these things that didn't even have a grade?
If Zhang Ergou knew Xue Shan Laoren's thoughts, he would have found a way to trick a few treasures out of the old man.
"Shh, wait!" Zhang Ergou whispered, and then saw the spiritual fire within his body leap out.
"Hmm? Divine Fire!" Xue Shan Laoren was astonished to see Zhang Ergou use his spiritual fire for the first time.
"No, its power is much weaker than Divine Fire." Xue Shan Laoren observed closely and shook his head.
He had witnessed the true form of Divine Fire, and its power was more than ten thousand times greater than the spiritual fire in Zhang Ergou's hands.
If Zhang Ergou had unleashed Divine Fire at this moment, Xue Shan Laoren would have long since turned to dust, let alone be standing here safely.
However, Xue Shan Laoren couldn't help but nod in secret. Although the spiritual fire wielded by Zhang Ergou was less than one ten-thousandth of the power of Divine Fire,
its spiritual essence was extremely similar to Divine Fire. Could there be some connection between the two?
Xue Shan Laoren pondered in secret. He didn't ask Zhang Ergou directly, thinking that the boy probably wouldn't know much.
The spiritual fire leaped out of Zhang Ergou's body, transforming into a flame and slowly drifting towards a shelf within.
Zhang Ergou followed closely behind, certain that the spiritual fire had made some extraordinary discovery.
If there was anyone Zhang Ergou trusted the most, it would undoubtedly be the spiritual fire within him. It had saved him from peril countless times,
led him to discover several treasures, and helped temper the spiritual energy that entered his body. The impure spiritual energy from the outside became purer after being tempered within him.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Ergou's strength surpassed that of cultivators of the same level.
The spiritual fire drifted to a shelf and stopped above a black sphere.
If one didn't observe carefully, the black sphere might not be noticed at all. It was unremarkable, lacking any luster, and appeared ordinary.
"What is this?" Zhang Ergou asked. The flame that was the spiritual fire flickered twice, as if urging Zhang Ergou to take it away.
"Take it, then." Zhang Ergou didn't hesitate. The black sphere was only about the size of a fist and wouldn't take up much space.
He casually reached out to pick up the sphere, but to his surprise, he couldn't lift it at first attempt.
It was known that Zhang Ergou's physical strength had long surpassed his state when he entered the Misty Sect, and his single-handed strength was tens of thousands of jin.
Even a casual swing could exert nearly ten thousand jin of force, yet he couldn't lift the black sphere with his initial attempt.
Zhang Ergou's interest in the black sphere immediately soared. Judging by its weight, it was no ordinary object.
