Chapter 63 - Venerable Xunling

Zhou Yun watched as the group of black-robed men slowly walked past him and went straight to the other side until they disappeared.

“Brother Zhou Yun, where are you looking at? is there someone there?” Qiao’er stopped. She was curious as to why Zhou Yun had suddenly stopped.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, did you discover something?” Su Wanyi was also very curious as to why Zhou Yun had stopped. She looked in the direction of Zhou Yun’s line of sight but did not find anything special.

Zhou Yun noticed Qiao’er and Su Wanyi’s confusion. He realized that the two of them did not seem to have noticed the group of black-robed men.

“You guys didn’t see them?” Zhou Yun suddenly felt his scalp go numb and a chill run down his spine!

Hundreds of foundation establishment cultivators were present, and even a few golden core grand cultivators!

They didn’t even notice the group of black-robed people who had just passed by! Could it be that what he had just seen was an illusion?

Zhou Yun looked at Qiao’er and Su Wanyi. He realized that their expressions did not seem to be fake.

Besides, Qiao’er would not lie to him!

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, what did you see? If he’s a cultivator, describe his appearance to us. We might know something.” When Su Wanyi saw Zhou Yun’s serious expression, she also became serious.

“That’s right, brother Zhou Yun. Perhaps it’s the old monsters from those sects.” Qiao’er said. She tried to look in the direction that Zhou Yun had been looking at, but she still could not see anything.

“No, I’m fine. I might have seen it wrong. “I thought I saw Senior Sister Su Lingyun just now.” Zhou Yun suppressed his suspicion when he saw the two girls so worried about him.

“Alright, let’s go to the treasure-hunting area! I don’t think Senior Sister Su Lingyun will come back so soon. Let’s go and find a treasure!” Zhou Yun didn’t want to let the topic continue. He forcefully changed the topic.

“Alright, brother Zhou Yun.” Qiao’er was about to say something, but her gaze became firm. She held Zhou Yun’s hand and followed him without asking anything.

Su Wanyi saw that the two of them had no intention of continuing, so she could only stop.

Zhou Yun forcefully suppressed the matter of the black-robed men to the bottom of his heart and walked towards the treasure-hunting area.

The treasure-hunting area was an area that was not divided into levels. One could find foundation establishment or even golden core stage heavenly materials and earthly treasures, secret manuals, and spiritual weapons here.

It was also possible that he had obtained an ordinary stone with a strange appearance.

There were many opportunities here, but there were also many failures.

Some people were tired of walking and looking for treasure, so they went to the side to get tickets from the servant boy and set up a stall. There were also people who started to look for treasures in high spirits after selling their items.

Zhou Yun still had quite a few perfect-tier pills in his possession. However, the rarer something was, the more valuable it would be. He did not plan to sell them so quickly.

Just as Zhou Yun was about to go on a treasure hunt, Qiao’er suddenly broke free from his grasp.

“Brother Zhou Yun, there’s a treasure-hunting area for female cultivators over there. I’ll be back with Senior Sister Wanyi.” Qiao’er said apologetically, then pulled Su Wanyi and ran in the other direction.

Zhou Yun looked at Qiao’er and Su Wanyi. He realized that the two of them seemed to be whispering to each other.

“Forget it, treasure hunting is a matter of fate. If we separate, our fate might be greater.” Naturally, Zhou Yun would not follow Qiao’er. Furthermore, Qiao’er had already said so, so he would not go and invite rebuff.

“But I’m just looking for treasure.” Zhou Yun was a little excited. He never thought that he would one day be able to step into a treasure-hunting area.

Zhou Yun rubbed his palms together, wondering if he could find an opportunity, such as the old grandpa in the ring.

The spiritual energy in this area was too scarce. Even with the system’s help, Zhou Yun could only cultivate in the Spirit Valley.

“However, it’s really hard to find an opportunity.” Zhou Yun passed by more than a dozen stalls. He realized that most of the stalls were selling scrap metal. Not to mention good stuff, there were not many that even had spiritual energy!

If it wasn’t for the fact that one had to pay an entrance fee to enter the Treasure Pavilion, Zhou Yun would have suspected that these people were here to freeload spiritual Qi!

After passing by more than a dozen stalls, Zhou Yun lost interest. He had already changed from the excitement of treasure hunting to the current boredom.

“Am I really unlucky? I didn’t find the immortal encounter that belonged to me?” Zhou Yun stopped in his tracks. He turned around and saw that the stalls were still there. From time to time, people would stop to look and buy.

However, the things he bought were all things that Zhou Yun did not care about. It was because they were all fragments of spiritual weapons or incomplete secret manuals.

There were a few good spiritual weapons, and their prices were as high as a dozen spiritual stones, completely exceeding the original price of the spiritual weapons!

“Oh, is this your first time here? What do you think, pick one from me and I’ll tell you the spell to leak the treasure?” The stall owner in front of Zhou Yun suddenly said.

He looked very young, not much different from Zhou Yun. He wore an ordinary gray robe, but he was already in the late-stage foundation establishment!

“I am from the Five Sects and my nickname is the famous Lie Yanshan! I’m an authentic disciple with a good reputation and don’t cheat people. Many returning customers come to buy things from me. Brother, please believe me. Buy one, you won’t lose out or be fooled!” Seeing that Zhou Yun had not left, Lie Yanshan spoke even more forcefully.

Zhou Yun looked at his stall. there was a bottle of pills, a few spiritual weapon fragments, and many secret manuals.

He definitely wouldn’t even look at these things before he turned around and left.

However, after hearing Lie Yanshan’s words, Zhou Yun was slightly tempted. Could there really be a secret to treasure hunting that he did not know about?

“One hidden, two wealthy families, and three sisters. Brother, do you want to know this slip of the tongue? Come, come, come, buy one. If you don’t lose out, I’ll tell you where the opportunities are in this treasure-hunting area!” Lie Yanshan was like a fly rubbing its hands as he kept pointing at his stall.

Zhou Yun squatted down. He wanted to reach out for the spiritual weapon but was suddenly stopped by Lie Yanshan.

“Brother, don’t you know the rules? Your eyes move but your hands stay still. If you’ve touched them all, then wouldn’t there be no fun in treasure hunting?” Lie Yanshan pointed at the small text on the map. The small text stated that before purchasing, one could only look but not touch, and one could not use spiritual sense.

“This is terrible!” Lie Yanshan suddenly cried out and he quickly kept his map.

However, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes and took out his map.

Sure enough, below the rules, there were also secret notes about treasure-hunting techniques.

In addition to many techniques, the incantations of the two hidden noble families and the three sisters were also included!

“Hehehe, brother, we are not …” Lie Yanshan still wanted to quibble, but the next moment, a few people in the Treasure Pavilion’s uniform rushed out from the other side.

“It’s over there! Last time, he said that he was the Waterproof Pavilion and that his nickname was Sky Bird! That scammer scammed me of so many spiritual stones!”

Under the leadership of a cultivator, the people of the Treasure Pavilion surrounded him!

“Damn it, he actually reacted so quickly! I’m running!” Lie Yanshan’s body ran out like a monkey’s.

He didn’t even take the items on the ground and threw them away!

“What a good fellow.” Zhou Yun’s eyes narrowed. He had almost been fooled!

“However, the secret of this chant is that it’s also a person wearing a black robe and a veil?” Zhou Yun looked at the incantation and recalled the group of black-robed men he had just met.
