Lin Xuan happily collected his treasure, thinking that the vicious senior sister was pretty rich.

He found six low-grade spirit stones from the storage bracelet, two Spirit Tools, a few talismans, and a jade bottle.

After opening the bottle, a fragrance drifted out, and inside the bottle laid two white purifying essence pills.

These talismans were referred to as spiritual seals, which contain specific spells, and when broken the user could instantly release them, without expending any Spiritual Qi; however making them was very difficult, as it costs a large amount of spiritual power and was not always successful. With the factors considered, it made these seals pretty valuable.

Lin Xuan took count and found they had a total of seven seals of various elements.

Of course, the most valuable thing he got was the Spirit Tools, as they were valuable to even Foundation Establishment experts. Spirit Tools were truly treasures, and Zhou Yan even had two of them. One of which was the one she used to kill her master: it appeared to be a Jade Cord that was about one foot in length, but with the ability to grow freely with the use of spiritual power and the ability to bind the enemy.

In addition, there was also the flying sword, which was an offensive Spirit Tool. Holding the sword appreciatively, Lin Xuan felt that he was unable to put this powerful high-grade Spirit Tools down.

Unfortunately for him, his cultivation was still too low, and he would need to cultivate into the fourth layer of Spirit Condensation to control Spirit Tools. Lin Xuan finally put away all the stuff he gained back into the storage bracelet. He felt satisfied since the rewards he gained were somewhat worth the risk he took.

As he was about to leave, he remembered Zhang Yu, who is a Foundation Establishment Stage expert, must have even more treasure. As he was turning away, he suddenly froze as his gaze fell onto Zhou Yan’s left hand, even in death, her hand was tightly clenched on the small ebony box.

Zhou Yan, for this treasure, even went as far as to kill her master…just what kind of treasure did it contain?

Pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan walked over and pulled away from the small box from her hand. Rather than opening it immediately, he placed it on the ground and took seven steps away from the box. Grabbing a nearby branch, he carefully opens the lid, Swish, several small arrows shoot out from within the box, moving impossibly fast, if he had opened it with his hands, even if his cultivation was high, it would have been hard to escape.

After the small arrows hit a nearby tree, within moments the tree began to quickly wither. Lin Xuan looked upon all this without batting an eyelid, maintaining his usual expression. He expected such a valuable treasure to have some sort of defense mechanism.

Even though the lid was now open, he still did not approach the box, but he waited for another ten minutes, and only after determining that there was no more danger did he carefully pick up the box. As he looked inside the box, Lin Xuan’s face quickly became one of shock… inside the box was a fist-sized shell.

Holding the shell in his hand, Lin Xuan hesitated a little, then carefully began to open the shell, as the true treasure should be within.

This was no ordinary shell, as there were no pearls within, and blue light began to spill out from within. Those rays of light floated up and began to rotate slowly, making them look like the stars in the sky.

Lin Xuan’s face wrinkled in a frown. He could not figure out what they were…so he decided to put it away and study it later, but as he tried to close the shell, the little stars began to spin faster and faster, then as they began moving towards him, he began to feel that they were dangerous and tried to run away, but before he could even get two steps away they lights all converged on his body.

Pain! From head to toe, Lin Xuan felt like every inch of his skin was tearing apart, and fell to the ground, his consciousness gradually fading away and then passing out, as the light fades away the canyon slowly goes back to normal, and nothing out of the ordinary is left other than the passed out boy.

……

Early the next morning, the sun projected its warmth onto the earth. A low groan was heard as Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Looking up into the sky, Lin Xuan remembered that when he became unconscious it was obviously noon… did he sleep for a day and night?

Sitting up, he found that the unbearable pain had completely disappeared, but even after sleeping for so long, he still felt tired.

As he carefully began to examine his physical condition, he found that his arms and feet are numb, but nothing else was strange, making the day before seem like a dream…

Lin Xuan sat quietly for a while. Then, without a word, he walked over to Zhou Yan’s corpse, and with feelings of disgust, he tossed her into the previous pit. He went over to where Zhang Yu’s corpse was left behind, gathered up his equipment and his storage belt, and quickly prepared to leave without going over the contents of the belt.

He quickly dragged the body over to the pit.

“No matter what grievances you had in life, you died as a light, so I hope you don’t mind this grave.” After the quick prayer, Lin Xuan began to fill in the pit and carefully remove all traces. After a while, he looked it over.

“Good, after this, I doubt anyone could find out that two cultivators are buried here.”

After this was done, Lin Xuan stayed no longer and quickly returned to Whirlwind Cloud Valley. Despite everything that has just happened, outwardly he looked the same as always. Even on the road back as he was insulted or greeted by other disciples, there was no change in his demeanor.

In this way, Lin Xuan returned to his residence, then quickly began to go around shutting all the doors and windows, and he soon began to organize his treasures in Zhan Yu’s storage belt.
