The crowd stirred again.
A mid-grade Heaven Rank Middle Grade battle sword.
A Heaven Rank Low Grade Mountain and River Seal.
Two magical artifacts hung in the center of the side hall, their outer array patterns several times more complex than the restrictions in the cultivation technique hall.
Wu Changge's gaze immediately locked onto the battle blade.
Although he excels in physical strength and fist techniques, he has also practiced the sword techniques of the Divine Martial Sect.
The battle sword was thick and heavy, exuding a domineering aura, which perfectly matched his cultivation path.
On the other side, Xiao Yihan looked at the Mountain and River Seal.
He didn't rush to decide which side to join, but instead took the initiative to say:
"Brother Chu, you choose first."
Chu Yunfei didn't stand on ceremony and pointed to the battle sword.
"This knife is mine."
Wu Changge was taken aback.
A flicker of pain crossed his eyes, but he ultimately nodded.
"Since Brother Chu requires it, I will not compete for it."
Chu Yunfei glanced at him.
I don't repair knives.
Wu Changge looked puzzled.
"If you're not going to repair the knife, what are you going to do with it?"
Chu Yunfei gripped the hilt of the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
"My sword needs to absorb higher-level weapons in order to continue to improve its rank."
"This battle sword is of decent quality; it'll be perfect for feeding the sword."
Wu Changge stared at Chu Yunfei for a few moments, then looked at the Heaven Rank Middle Grade battle blade.
For a moment, he was speechless.
A Heaven Rank Middle Grade artifact is enough to become the most prized possession of a second-rate power.
Chu Yunfei took it, just to feed it to his sword?
Wu Mingyue was also somewhat taken aback.
"Young Master Chu, what is the grade of your sword?"
"Currently, it's only Earth Rank Middle Grade."
Chu Yunfei answered calmly.
"However, it can grow."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes simultaneously fell upon the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
Growth-type spirit artifact?
They had never heard of any magical artifact that could continuously advance by absorbing other weapons.
If the Abyss-Devouring Sword can truly grow indefinitely, the heights it can reach in the future will likely far exceed the Heavenly level!
Wu Changge finally managed to utter a sentence after a long pause:
"Others treat Heaven-grade spiritual artifacts as family heirlooms."
"And you, you're using it to feed the sword."
Wu Mingyue glanced at him.
"What, you can't bear to part with it?"
Wu Changge stared at the battle blade, his lips twitching.
"That's a Heaven Rank Middle Grade. Would you be willing to give it up for yourself?"
"It's no use being reluctant."
Wu Mingyue didn't hold back in dismantling her plan.
"You can't beat Young Master Chu anyway."
Wu Changge's face darkened, and he simply shut his mouth.
Xiao Yihan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"No wonder Brother Chu looks down on ordinary spiritual artifacts."
With this sword in hand, ordinary spiritual weapons can indeed only serve as nourishment.
The group joined forces to attack the barrier.
After an incense stick's time, the array patterns surrounding the two Heavenly-grade spiritual artifacts finally shattered one after another.
Chu Yunfei raised his hand and snatched the battle sword into his storage ring.
The Mountain and River Seal then fell into Xiao Yihan's hands.
The remaining five Earth-grade spiritual artifacts were divided among the Divine Martial Sect and several rogue Rogue Cultivator who contributed the most.
With Chu Yunfei and Xiao Yihan present, no one dared to make a move in secret, and the distribution process was much calmer than expected.
After leaving the weapons hall, the group found a third side hall.
As soon as the palace door was pushed open, a rich aroma of medicine wafted towards us.
Several rows of stone cabinets were placed inside the hall.
Dozens of jade bottles were displayed inside, and some dried-up medicinal herbs were sealed nearby.
Most of the elixirs failed to withstand the passage of time.
After the jade bottle was opened, all that remained inside was black ash that had lost its medicinal properties.
However, seven jade bottles were still completely protected by the formation.
"Fourth-grade Spirit Recovery Pill "
"Grade 5 Barrier-Breaking Pill "
Wu Mingyue checked them one by one, then suddenly stopped at the deepest part.
She picked up a blue jade bottle and uncorked it.
A pure medicinal fragrance wafted through the air.
After inhaling just a wisp, everyone felt the spiritual energy circulating in their meridians faster.
Wu Mingyue's face lit up with joy.
"A Grade Six Meridian-Protecting Pill!"
"There are six in total, and the medicinal properties are perfectly preserved."
The Meridian-Protecting Pill can repair damaged meridians, and it has excellent effects even on cultivators at the Dao Mysterious Realm.
If this kind of elixir were to appear in the outside world, it would be enough to attract a large number of experts at the Divine Sea Realm to fight over it.
Wu Mingyue did not put the jade bottle into her storage ring, but instead turned around and handed it to Chu Yunfei.
"Young Master Chu, you were the one who identified the key points of the protective arrays in the three side halls."
"This bottle of pills rightfully belongs to you."
Chu Yunfei did not refuse and took the jade bottle.
Although he seemed to have the upper hand after shattering the Dao Mysterious Realm seal head-on, his meridians were still affected by the backlash.
Ordinary injuries can be quickly healed with the help of the Boundless Creation Scripture.
The Dao Mysterious Realm power that remains deep within the meridians still needs to be gradually worn away.
This bottle of Meridian-Protecting Pill pills will save him a lot of time.
As for the remaining pills and elixirs, Chu Yunfei did not take any more.
Everyone had been secretly watching his every move.
Seeing that he only took a Heaven Rank Middle Grade sword and a bottle of sixth-grade pills, many people's tense shoulders quietly relaxed.
Given the strength Chu Yunfei has displayed, if he wanted to monopolize all the treasures, no one present could stop him.
But he didn't do that.
He only takes what he needs, leaving the remaining opportunities for others to compete for based on their own abilities.
Zhao Manshan received two grade-five spiritual herbs, and a smile appeared on his face.
He carefully put away the elixir and couldn't help but say:
"Those top sects talk about Young Master Chu all the time, saying he's arrogant and bloodthirsty."
"In my opinion, Young Master Chu is much more disciplined than they are."
Zhao Manshan glanced at the Rogue Cultivator behind him.
"At least since Young Master Chu took the item, he won't turn around and force us to destroy our own dantian."
Several Rogue Cultivator nodded in agreement.
Having witnessed the domineering actions of the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect, they felt these words even more deeply.
They are not afraid that the strongest will take away the best opportunities.
In the cultivation world, strength is the only measure of power.
What they truly fear is the approach taken by the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect.
Not only will they take the treasure, but they will also cut off everyone's means of survival.
Chu Yunfei did not respond.
He never cared what others thought of him.
No one provoked him, and he was too lazy to waste time drawing his sword.
If someone wants his life, then he should be prepared to leave his life behind.
The third side hall was quickly searched.
The group returned to the main corridor.
The road ahead grew narrower and narrower, the lamps on the walls had long since gone out, and the darkness seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
After walking several dozen feet further, Zhao Manshan suddenly stopped.
The corridor came to an end.
A colossal bronze gate, over ten zhang tall, stood blocking everyone's way.
Unlike the decayed doors of the first three side halls, this bronze door was completely free of rust.
The facade is covered with dark red array patterns.
Those lines, like blood vessels, were flickering and undulating at an extremely slow pace.
It was as if something behind the door was still breathing.
Xiao Yihan raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
Si Yunshu walked closer, and after just one glance, her expression turned serious.
"This restriction is still functioning perfectly."
Chu Yunfei remained silent.
His divine sense probed towards the bronze door.
Three feet away from the storefront, an invisible force crashed into him, forcefully blocking his divine sense.
At the same time.
The Abyss-Devouring Sword trembled slightly in its sheath.
Buzz!
A deep, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the corridor.
All eyes were fixed on the tightly closed bronze gate.
The martial arts manuals, weapons, and elixirs in the first three side halls are already of astonishing value.
But these are clearly just peripheral collections.
Behind this door lies the true core of the entire ruins.
