Han Feng carefully put away the Talisman Treasure, then picked up the inconspicuous bag.
It was a Storage Bag.
His divine sense entered it. The space was not large, only one or two cubic meters.
It was piled high with gold, silver, and jewelry. In the mortal world, it would have been enough to make someone fabulously wealthy, but to Han Feng now, it was no different from a pile of stones.
Besides those, there were also seven crystals that emitted a faint Spiritual Energy.
Spirit Stones!
The hard currency of the Immortal Cultivation World.
Unfortunately, they were only seven Low-grade Spirit Stones, and their Spiritual Energy was impure. Their quality was quite ordinary.
What a pauper.
Han Feng mentally labeled Venerable Golden Light.
In a corner of the Storage Bag, there were also two books.
One was the Qin Family Genealogy. He casually flipped through it before tossing it aside.
The other was a cultivation technique.
Gold Melting Art.
A basic cultivation technique of the Gold Attribute.
It contained every level from the first to the thirteenth. It was actually a complete basic cultivation technique.
Han Feng pondered briefly.
He currently had a single Wood Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root. If he added points to his Gold Spiritual Root, cultivating this technique would not be impossible.
But if he did that, he would go from having the rarest Heavenly Spiritual Root to having the slightly inferior Dual Spiritual Root.
For the sake of such a basic cultivation technique, it was not worth it.
Moreover, according to his memories of the original story, commonplace techniques like the Evergreen Skill cost only two Low-grade Spirit Stones for a complete version in the cultivators' markets. They were available everywhere.
There was no need to neglect the fundamentals for the trivial.
His gaze shifted to the surviving young woman.
The woman was huddled in a corner, trembling as she watched him, her eyes filled with terror.
Han Feng pulled a large handful of gold ingots from the Storage Bag and casually threw them in front of her.
"Take this gold and leave. Find somewhere to settle down, and you'll naturally be able to make a decent living!"
The woman was dazzled for a moment by the glittering gold ingots before her. Then she suddenly raised her head, as though she had made some sort of decision.
"Immortal Master! Please wait!"
She crawled and stumbled over to Han Feng. "I know... I know where Venerable Golden Light has a treasure cache!"
"Oh?"
Han Feng became interested.
The woman did not dare conceal anything and told him everything she knew.
As it turned out, not long ago, Venerable Golden Light had buried a box in the Back Mountain.
He had planned to leave Golden Light Temple after some time.
This woman and the one who had been killed earlier had both been abducted from the mortal world to serve as his maids.
Given his temperament, once he grew tired of them, these two mortal women who knew the secret of his treasure cache would inevitably be silenced.
Venerable Golden Light possessed an Ascension Token, which meant that his ancestors had certainly included powerful cultivators.
Perhaps they had left behind some extraordinary treasures!
A hint of anticipation arose in Han Feng's heart.
Under the woman's guidance, he soon arrived at a remote hillside in the Back Mountain of Golden Light Temple.
Han Feng did not waste words. With a thought, the Seven Profound Sword shot out and rapidly spun against the ground the woman had indicated.
Soil flew everywhere.
In only a moment, a pit three or four meters deep had taken shape.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the flying sword seemed to have struck something hard.
Han Feng swept out his Magic Power, and an archaic Wood Chest flew out from the bottom of the pit, landing at his feet.
The Wood Chest was about three feet long. He did not know what kind of wood it was made from. It felt heavy in his hands, and its surface was carved with intricate patterns.
He tried pushing open the lid.
It did not budge.
A faint Spiritual Light flowed over the Wood Chest, forming a Forbidden Arts seal.
Han Feng tried using Internal Force, then Magic Power, and even hacked at the chest with the Seven Profound Sword, but the Wood Chest did not react at all.
No wonder Venerable Golden Light had buried it underground.
He must have tried everything he could think of but still been unable to open the chest, leaving him no choice but to hide it for the time being.
It seemed that he would have to find an opportunity to learn some Forbidden Arts in the future.
Otherwise, looking at a mountain of treasure only to return empty-handed would be far too frustrating.
He put the Wood Chest into the Storage Bag, then turned and said to the woman,
"You may leave!"
"Young Master..."
The woman named Xiao Yu suddenly dropped to her knees with a thump, a trace of pleading and shyness in her eyes.
"This humble woman has nowhere to go. Please take me in, Young Master! I... I am still a Chaste Body!"
Han Feng's footsteps paused.
He looked at the tearful woman before him, his expression utterly unmoved.
"Find a mortal and marry him."
"I seek the Great Dao of Longevity. The road ahead is long and fraught with danger. I cannot take you with me."
His words were calm, yet carried an unquestionable decisiveness.
If he wanted a woman, he would find a female cultivator who could walk the same path as him and explore the immortal path together.
A mortal woman would be nothing more than a handful of yellow earth after a hundred years. Ultimately, they were not people walking the same road.
With that, Han Feng did not linger. His figure blurred as he used the Wind Control Art and sped toward the outside of the mountains, disappearing from Xiao Yu's sight in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the Wild Mountains, Han Feng returned to Jingzhou, hired a horse-drawn carriage, and traveled north toward Lanzhou.
Lanzhou was broader and more prosperous than Jingzhou.
According to Han Feng's memories, this region belonged to Spirit Beast Mountain, one of the seven great cultivation sects in Yue Country.
His goal was very clear.
He had to find Spirit Beast Mountain's cultivators' market.
As long as he could enter a cultivators' market, he could easily spend Spirit Stones to buy the succeeding cultivation technique for the Evergreen Skill.
By then, he would be able to transform all the Attribute Points he had accumulated into genuine cultivation.
