After Hongjun finished speaking, the atmosphere in Violet Cloud Palace visibly changed.

Just moments ago, it had been a hall for expounding the Great Dao.

In the blink of an eye, it took on the air of a massive limited-time buying frenzy.

Of course.

Everyone present was a renowned mighty figure of the Great Wilderness.

They would not go so far as to break into a mad dash.

At least on the surface, each of them remained calm and composed, their steps steady.

But a closer look would reveal it.

Spatial divine abilities were already being used.

Shrinking the Earth to an Inch was being used as well.

Several people appeared to take just one step, yet had actually gone from the center of Violet Cloud Palace to the edge of its gates.

They were all trying to look unhurried.

When in reality, whoever was slow would lose out.

It was Bixiao's first time seeing such a scene.

Her eyes widened more and more.

"Master."

"Are Innate Spirit Treasures really that rare?"

Luxuan paused.

He suddenly realized a very serious problem.

His disciples.

Especially Bixiao.

Seemed to have developed an utterly absurd sense of prices after being raised amid Penglai's abundance of resources.

"They are very rare."

Luxuan answered earnestly.

Bixiao lowered her head and glanced at the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors in her hand.

"What about Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures?"

"Even rarer."

"Then why are there so many at Treasure Cliff?"

Luxuan fell silent for a moment.

"Because Penglai is rich."

Bixiao: "..."

Zhao Gongming could not hold back his laughter beside them.

Though the answer sounded somewhat plain.

It was indeed the most accurate answer.

Penglai had remained hidden within the Eastern Sea ever since the world was created.

No one had entered it.

No one had plundered it.

All the wealth accumulated over countless years had been preserved intact.

Later, they had also emptied the Celestial Court's warehouses, built up over many years, in one sweep.

If one spoke only of resource reserves, present-day Penglai truly had few powers in the entire Great Wilderness that could compare to it head-on.

The problem was that the three direct disciples had lived in this environment ever since becoming Luxuan's disciples.

It was perfectly normal that they had no concept of how scarce resources were in the outside world.

It was like someone who had lived atop a mountain of gold since childhood.

Going out for the first time.

And discovering that others would fight over a few pieces of gold.

They would naturally be somewhat confused.

"Once we reach Treasure-Dividing Cliff."

Luxuan looked at Bixiao.

"Watch more."

"Speak less."

Bixiao immediately grew wary.

"Why?"

"Your master is afraid you'll ask, 'People fight over things like this too?' and get glared at by more than a dozen Great Luo nearby."

Zhao Gongming laughed even more openly this time.

Bixiao seriously imagined that scene.

At last, she nodded.

"Then I'll try to hold it in."

Yunxiao looked somewhat helpless beside her.

What worried her most now was no longer that her younger sister would cause trouble.

It was that this "try" did not sound especially trustworthy.

The group soon left Violet Cloud Palace.

Within Chaos.

A massive black stone cliff, as vast as a mountain range, floated silently.

There were not many earth-shattering phenomena on its surface.

But when the immortals and gods truly swept it with their divine senses.

One hidden streak of innate treasure light after another instantly entered their perception.

One treasure.

Ten treasures.

A hundred treasures.

They were too numerous to count.

Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

High-grade ones.

And even deeper within, several supreme auras that visibly stirred even Quasi-Saints.

The Purple Cloud Guests, who had barely maintained their composure until now, finally could not sit still any longer.

"The fated shall obtain them!"

No one knew who shouted first.

The next moment.

Several hundred streams of divine sense surged toward Treasure-Dividing Cliff almost simultaneously.

Bzzz!

The entire black mountain cliff suddenly lit up.

Countless Innate Spirit Treasures seemed to awaken, flying out on their own from stone walls, cracks, and caves.

The moment a cyan immortal sword appeared.

Three Great Luo immediately reached out at once.

"Three fellow Daoists, this treasure is fated for me!"

"What nonsense! My primordial spirit has already resonated with this sword. It is clearly fated for me!"

"First come, first served!"

The three began fighting over it in an instant.

Elsewhere.

The moment a fire banner at the Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure level flew out from the stone cliff, a Great Luo directly swept it into his sleeve.

The smile on his face had not even fully bloomed.

When a treasure pearl at the High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure level flew out behind him.

He immediately turned and gave chase.

Bixiao stood behind Luxuan.

Her expression gradually shifted from curiosity to shock.

It was truly her first time realizing.

That people outside could be so happy upon obtaining a Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

"Master."

She lowered her voice.

Clearly remembering the warning to "speak less."

"That sword is only a Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, right?"

"Mm."

"Three Great Luo are fighting over it?"

"Mm."

Bixiao lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"Then those things around the outer edge of our Treasure Cliff..."

Luxuan glanced at her.

Bixiao immediately swallowed the rest of her words.

She understood.

She could not say it.

If she did, she might get glared at.

But after witnessing this scene, she truly understood for the first time what kind of family circumstances her own sect possessed.

When Luxuan had given her the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors before, he had said, "It's only a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure."

She had thought that was exaggerated.

But Penglai really did possess more than one such treasure.

Now, standing beside Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

And watching a group of Great Luo from Violet Cloud Palace display every divine ability they had in pursuit of Low-grade and Mid-grade Spirit Treasures.

Bixiao finally understood.

It was not that Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures were "not precious."

It was that her master had never raised them according to the Great Wilderness's normal standards of value.

Qiongxiao was similarly deep in thought.

"No wonder those Taiyi from the Celestial Court reacted like that the first time they saw our Spirit Treasures."

Yunxiao nodded.

They had previously known only that their master was generous.

Now they realized.

The word "generous" might not even be enough.

Zhao Gongming felt this even more deeply.

He had traveled the Great Wilderness for many years, after all.

He knew just how difficult it was to find Innate Spirit Treasures.

But after living in Penglai for so long.

Even he had gradually developed the illusion that "High-grade Innate Spirit Treasures are nothing special."

Now that he had come to Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

His sense of value had finally been corrected somewhat.

Luxuan did not move in a hurry.

There were many treasures on Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

But he had already passed the stage of bringing home every Innate Spirit Treasure he saw.

Low-grade and Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Penglai truly did not lack them.

Even if he brought them back.

Most would merely continue to be nurtured on Treasure Cliff.

It would be better to let his disciples seek treasures that were genuinely useful to them.

"Sense for yourselves."

"If you find something that truly matches your own Dao, take it."

"If not, there is no need to force it."

The Three Cloud Sisters and Zhao Gongming nodded together.

Yunxiao was the first to close her eyes.

She did not use her divine sense to scan the treasures one by one.

Instead, she directly released the aura of her Array Dao and Cloud Water.

Not long after.

A soft chime suddenly came from somewhere on the east side of the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

A pale blue formation chart that had originally been rolled up in a rock crevices flew out on its own.

The formation chart unfurled.

Nine innate water veins flickered in and out of view within it.

Yunxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"A high-grade innate spirit treasure."

Luxuan glanced at it.

"The Nine-River Celestial Chart."

"It contains nine innate water veins within, and can assist in setting up formations."

"It really suits you."

Yunxiao raised her hand.

The nine-river celestial shadows, as if already guided, flew directly into her palm.

The two nearby Great Luo who had also set their sights on the formation chart could only retract their divine senses with regret.

The treasure actively chose its master.

To snatch it now would mean directly fighting it out.

Immediately following.

Qiongxiao also made a gain.

A palm-sized, silvery-white sword casket flew out from the cliff face.

Its grade also reached that of a high-grade innate spirit treasure.

The sword casket itself did not possess much slaughter.

Yet it could nurture sword intent, store sword Qi, and release the sword Qi accumulated on ordinary days all at once when needed.

Simply put.

The Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword was responsible for hacking people.

The sword casket was responsible for helping it save up its ultimate move on ordinary days.

Qiongxiao was clearly very satisfied.

When it came to Bixiao.

The little girl closed her eyes and sensed for a long time.

One piece.

Did not come.

Two pieces.

Still did not come.

She opened her eyes.

She looked at her eldest sister's Nine-River Celestial Chart.

And then looked at her second sister's sword casket.

Her expression gradually became somewhat unconvinced.

"Why is there none for me?"

Luxuan was not worried.

"Why rush for things like affinity."

As soon as his voice fell.

A crisp metallic collision suddenly came from the deepest part of the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

Clang!

A fingernail-sized black ring flew out from a crack.

Before Bixiao could react.

The black ring had already directly slipped onto one of the golden dragon phantoms of the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors.

Hum!

The aura of the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors surged instantly.

Bixiao's eyes lit up completely.

And not far away.

A gray-robed Great Luo's expression suddenly changed after seeing that black ring.

"The Space-Locking Ring?!"

"This treasure is actually still on the Treasure-Dividing Cliff!"

Bixiao looked up.

"Is it very powerful?"

The gray-robed Great Luo: "..."

You've already taken it and now you ask if it's powerful?

Why did this child's words make people feel so uncomfortable?

Luxuan swept his divine sense across it.

A trace of satisfaction floated in the depths of his eyes.

"A high-grade innate spirit treasure."

"It can lock space and fix spatial nodes within a certain range for a short time."

After listening, Bixiao thought for just a moment.

The smile on her face became more and more brilliant.

Fixing space.

The Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors were responsible for shearing.

That was to say.

In the future, when she met someone who was especially good at running away.

Lock them first.

Then shear.

Very good.

It suited her very well.

Luxuan looked at that expression of hers.

Without asking, he knew what this lass was thinking.

Yet just after the Three Cloud Sisters obtained their treasures in succession.

The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls quietly resting inside Zhao Gongming's body suddenly shook violently without any warning.

Hum!

Twenty-four azure divine radiances penetrated his body at the same time.

Zhao Gongming's expression changed abruptly.

"Master."

"The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls are reacting!"

Luxuan suddenly looked toward the depths of the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

Over there.

A mysterious yellow light that had never shown any movement previously was lighting up bit by bit from the very depths.
