Lin Xuan placed his hand on the futon and squeezed it, there was nothing unusual. He placed it in front of him and looked at it carefully, yet it still seemed that there was nothing special.
However, Lin Xuan was not discouraged, instead, he moved his Spiritual Qi to his fingertips and tugged gently.
It was ripped apart, and with a gentle sound, scattered across the air, two pieces of paper appeared in front of him.
Lin Xuan tucked one in his sleeve and rolled up the other piece of paper, which was densely covered with small letters.
The words seemed simple, but after reading them, he found that their meaning was profound; it seemed to be a fragment of some Cultivation Technique.
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his face flashed a thoughtful expression, with a tearing sound, he then proceeded to rip the other futons apart. As expected, two to three pieces of paper were found.
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan solemnly arranged the papers in their correct order and put them away in his storage bag.
Fortunately, he was very careful, otherwise, he would have missed this “Profound Demon Scripture”. Apart from his lamentation, Lin Xuan also had to admire the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s arrangements.
Ordinary cultivators engraved their Cultivation Techniques in jade slips, which were both portable and easy to preserve, but the Demon Lord did otherwise.
“Profound Demon Scripture” was not an ordinary Cultivation Technique, but an inheritance that was passed through his sect. The Extreme Demon Venerable practiced this method and became the first expert of Demonic Dao. Thus, the value of the “Profound Demon Scripture” was quite evident.
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord did not want to let this Cultivation Technique spread out if he encountered an accident. Therefore, this clever mechanism was set up, where he scattered it across many pages and put them inside the futons.
After all, jade slips were a thing of the Immortal World, and there would be a faint Spiritual Qi overflow emitted from them. Even if one placed a Restriction, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not be discovered by cultivators. If there was the slightest chance that someone broke into his own secret Cave Mansion…
But the current arrangement of the demon lord was much more secure. Because according to common sense, no cultivator would be interested in a few futons.
It was a pity that there was no such thing as a perfect arrangement in this world. Lin Xuan happened to belong to the kind of quick-minded and observant people. By a coincidence, he got this “Profound Demon Scripture”.
A cursory reading revealed that this Cultivation Technique was extensive and profound, so Lin Xuan put it away and decided to study it carefully when he got back.
He searched the room a second time and walked out slowly after making sure he didn’t miss anything.
When he came to the garden outside, Lin Xuan surveyed the remaining rooms, which were the treasure room, the Spirit Beast room, the living room, and the alchemy room.
Lin Xuan hesitated. Then stepped into the living room first, he found dozens of mid-grade Spirit Stones. Afterward, Lin Xuan went to the spirit beast room.
Which turned out to be empty.
The room was more than ten meters in width and length, it was the most extensive, and it should have been the place where Spirit Beasts are kept. However, now, it was empty.
Lin Xuan was slightly disappointed, but then he found a white sphere about half a meter in diameter at the corner of the room, which looked a bit like a Spirit Beast egg.
He released his Spiritual Sense. And found that it still emitted signs of life.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and quickly stored it into the Spirit Beast Bag. This is a huge gain. With the powers of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, his Spirit Beasts in captivity should not be weak. If it were an adult beast, it would have been useless, but this was a beast egg that still hasn’t recognized its master.
If he could hatch it. It would be quite useful to him in the future.
Later, in the alchemy room, although no precious pill was found, there were several thousand years old Spirit Herbs, and Lin Xuan naturally accepted them unceremoniously.
After searching through the other places, Lin Xuan stood in front of the last room.
The door plaque read a few large gold characters, “Treasure Room”.
It was very tempting, but Lin Xuan didn’t mean to go in at all. Instead, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he reached out into his sleeve. After taking out a Hidden Spirit Pill and consuming it without hesitation, he then hid on the side.
A while later.
A few rays of light flew in from the outside.
The light dispersed out and six people appeared.
Five men and one woman, whose strength was all pretty strong, and were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the leader was an old man, with the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Late-stage.
“Eldest Brother, is this the secret Cave Mansion of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord?”
“Yes, it should be here.”
“Stange, how come there are no restrictions? Is this a fake, or a trap set by someone else?” The only female cultivator asked worryingly.
“Rest assured, since our fourth brother accidentally heard that the Sky Fiend Demon Lord had a secret Cave Mansion in the Kuiyin Mountains, we the Six Heroes of the Northern Gobi Desert have been wandering around here for quite a while. With Demon Lord’s cultivation base, he certainly collected a lot of treasures, but the Kuiyin Mountains are too big, and we had no clues at all. And thanks to him being hunted down to this place by the two sects, we finally got a clue, it should be right here, “The yellow-faced man said affirmatively.
“But I still think this building is too strange to appear out of thin air.” The woman’s face showed with a trace of caution.
The old man in the lead pondered for a moment, “What Sixth Sister said is reasonable; anyways, everyone should be careful.”
“Eldest brother, you’re worrying too much. I agree with Fourth Brother, it must be that Sky Fiend Demon Lord was being chased, and hurriedly returned to his Cave Mansion. But the enemy caught up with him, so he fled in a hurry and had no time to activate the restrictions,” The yellow-faced man said without a care.
“I also agree with Second Brother’s opinion. As you’ve seen, there are still traces of the big battle outside. Maybe the Sky Fiend Demon Lord arrived and opened the restrictions, but didn’t have the time to enter his Cave Mansion,” Another young man in his twenties, who was dressed up as a scholar, shook his head and analyzed.
“According to Fourth Brother’s explanation, are all the treasures should be inside?” The leader was full of surprise.
“It’s very likely,” The scholar seemed to be very sure.
“Will those Righteous and Demonic Path experts come here?”
“Rest assured, they are all fighting for the Heavenly Dust Pill, how can they be interested in the Cave Mansion of a cultivator of the same rank?”
“Hmph, the Heavenly Dust Pill may be magical, but with so many experts, it’s ridiculous that many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators insisted on participating in it. They’ll just lose their lives in vain. They’re not as smart as us brothers, who are looking for the Demon Lord’s other treasures.”
“Fourth Brother, don’t praise yourself too much. It’s getting late. Let’s act quickly. If we delay for a long time, other cultivators will arrive too, which will be troublesome,” The female cultivator seemed a little impatient.
Everyone’s heart shuddered, but it was also reasonable.
Looking up, their eyes scanned the manor.
“Treasure Room!”
“Where?”
Following their sister’s fingers, everyone’s gazes gathered on the golden characters, and their eyes showed ecstasy.
Seeing their greedy expressions, Lin Xuan remained silent, except for a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The yellow-faced man raised his foot and was about to enter.
“Wait!”
“Sixth Sister, what’s the matter?” The person who was called turned his head in puzzlement.
“Be careful, see if there is a restriction,” The woman said calmly.
“SIster’s right.”
The old man touched his storage bag and took out a Spirit Tool, “Everyone, spread out and let me give it a try.”
After that, he pointed his hand, and the Spirit Tool turned into a Blue Light. With a loud bang, it smashed the gate of the treasure room, but the door did not fall, but instead emitted two green beams of lights, which became entangled with the Blue Light.
“Sure enough, there is a restriction, Eldest Brother, I will help you!”
The others have also released their own Spirit Tools, and the sky was dazzled for a while.
After half an hour, under the siege of several Spirit Tools, the green lights finally failed to support themselves and fell down. From which, two talismans appeared, and then the door of the treasure room was split in half.
After crashing to the ground, a stone house appeared.
The stone house was not big, only a few meters in radius. However, after seeing the things inside, the eyes of the six cultivators all flashed with greed.
For cultivators, Spirit Stones were undoubtedly a valuable thing. Cultivation, tool manufacturing, and fighting spells were inseparable from it, and they could even be used as a currency for exchanging cultivation items.
Generally, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage would have a few hundred.
The ground in front of them was piled with Spirit Stones as if they were rubbish, and by looking at their color, they should all be of the mid-grade.
However, that was not the most noticeable thing.
In the middle of the stone house, there was a weapon rack carved from jade. which was divided into three layers. The first two layers all had Spirit Tools. There were as many as seven to eight pieces of the Top Grade quality, and the most eye-catching was in the Third Layer, with a golden ruler placed in it.
The surface was inscribed with gorgeous golden runes and emitted amazing Spiritual Qi.
“Magic Artifact!”
They all exclaimed in unison. For them, it was an absolutely precious existence. Even if they couldn’t reach the Core Formation Stage, it could easily be exchanged for countless treasures.
And besides the golden ruler, there was a small jade bottle, needless to say, there must be a Spirit Pill inside, which was very extraordinary.
“Eldest brother, we earned big this time.”
“Haha, with these Spirit Stones and treasures, it’s not impossible for us to condense a Golden Core in the future!”
“Yeah, I didn’t think the Sky Fiend Demon Lord would be richer than expected.”
“A long night is fraught with dreams1A long delay means trouble., let’s make it quick!”
The six people rushed to the treasure room. And Lin Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, was not in a hurry. He watched all this with great confidence.
