Han Anbo took a look, then turned to Li Qingxian. "This is probably one of the rebels' treasuries. It may well be their most important one."
"You're amazing, Lord Li! Not only did you lead us somewhere safe, you'd already discovered this treasure trove!" Zheng Gaojue's eyes widened.
"Hardly worth mentioning." Li Qingxian looked perfectly composed.
As Zhou Hen searched the corpses, he said, "Both the door and the mountain walls are reinforced with spells. I can't break them open. The guards wouldn't be carrying the key to a treasury like this, either."
"I know the Fate-Seeking Arts. Searching and unraveling are the Fate-Seeking Sect's specialties," Li Qingxian said.
Zhou Hen nodded. "The Fate-Seeking Sect really is formidable in that regard. They've discovered half the great tombs found throughout history."
"The Fate-Seeking Sect's reputation in that regard isn't exactly good." Han Anbo smiled.
As though he hadn't heard, Li Qingxian said, "I've examined these talismans carefully. They serve two main purposes: reinforcement and alarms. Given the current situation, the alarms are useless. As for the reinforcement, breaking it with Daoist techniques or martial force would be difficult, but Fate Arts would make it somewhat easier."
"Not necessarily," Zhou Hen said. "The Fate-Seeking Arts are powerful, but Fate Arts require a great many special fate materials. The materials for an art that can unravel these talismans aren't something you can just buy anywhere."
"Luckily, I have something that can replace fate materials," Li Qingxian said.
"Oh?" Zhou Hen and Han Anbo looked at Li Qingxian in surprise.
Li Qingxian took out the Universal Jade Pendant.
"A universal fate material?" Han Anbo asked.
"Watch our backs while I figure out how to break these talismans. Little Uncle Zhou, once they're gone, your fourth-rank strength should be enough to open this door, right?"
