Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned. “Sigh, something doesn’t seem right. Why do you have a smell that I’m very familiar with?”

Xu You frowned with a guarded expression.

Zhang Ling was a little helpless, “Really, I didn’t mean to get close to you.”

He frowned as if thinking carefully and recalling for a moment.

Then, he slowly said with uncertainty, “Have you been to the Thunder Realm? You even encountered the guardian python there?”

Xu You was stunned.

This time, Zhang Ling’s words really exceeded his expectations.

He looked at Ling Lan and saw a trace of surprise in each other’s eyes.

Seeing their performance, Zhang Ling immediately slapped her thigh.

“I knew it. We’re fated!”

“I’ve been to the Thunder Meteor Realm before. I’ve also beaten up that guardian python.”

“However, at that time, I could not find the treasure there no matter what. It also stopped me from finding it, almost angering me to death.”

As she spoke, Zhang Ling’s gaze swept past Xu You with a smile.

“However, from the looks of it.”

“The treasure I didn’t find has fallen into your hands now.”

Hearing this, Xu You nodded indifferently, his expression unchanged.

Zhang Ling chuckled and did not say anything else. Instead, he walked towards the altar.

“Let’s go. Since we’ve already dealt with the guardians here, it’s naturally time to divide the treasures.”

Xu You and the other two looked at each other with strange expressions.

Logically speaking, Zhang Ling’s attitude towards the three of them should not be so friendly.

Even if he was afraid of the strength of the three of them, he should not give up on fighting for the treasure so easily.

However, Zhang Ling did not challenge them.

It was as if it was extremely normal for him to find the treasure first and share it with Xu You and the other two.

Zhang Ling stopped in his tracks and the expressions of the three of them changed slightly.

He turned around with a strange expression.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

Xu You was the first to react and walked towards Zhang Ling. The other two quickly followed.

The four of them quickly arrived beside the cauldron.

Apart from Old Tame Head, the three of them jumped deeply and flew into the cauldron.

Inside the cauldron.

A few Condensed Divine Crystals lay there quietly. Every piece was at least twice the size of the ones the three of them had found!

The largest piece was even three times the size of the one he had found previously.

Xu You counted. There were four Condensed Divine Crystals in the cauldron.

Apart from that, there was also a nearly transparent scepter in the cauldron.

The moment he saw this scepter, a notification sounded in the system space.

“Congratulations, host. You have discovered an A-rank treasure: Knowledge Scepter.”

“The effect of this treasure: It can greatly increase the host’s brainpower, including but not limited to memory, analysis, knowledge reserve, and so on…”

Xu You looked at the ability of this A-rank treasure for a while and discovered that its increase in combat strength was extremely small.

However, the increase in his ability to control knowledge was simply exaggerated.

The moment he read this, Xu You clearly realized.

He and Ling Lan had found an extremely suitable treasure for Old Tame Head!

Thinking of this, he raised his head to look at Zhang Ling and said indifferently, “Now, let’s discuss how to distribute it.”

Zhang Ling was first slightly stunned, then he chuckled, “Although you helped me, in fact, if you didn’t come, I could have dealt with the guardians here.”

“Moreover, before you came, their combat strength had already been greatly weakened by me.”

“Therefore, I think I should take more. What do you think?”

Xu You pondered for a moment and did not speak immediately.

Beside him, Ling Lan stared at Zhang Ling for a while before saying, “Is that so? What if I don’t think so?”

Zhang Ling was a little helpless when he heard this, but he scratched the space between his eyebrows and smiled, “If you don’t agree…”

Xu You acutely felt that when Zhang Ling said this, Ling Lan’s eyes immediately narrowed, and a powerful aura suddenly arose from his body.

The tense atmosphere filled the huge cauldron.

“Then let’s discuss it again.”

Zhang Ling suddenly spoke with a brilliant smile. His answer stunned Ling Lan and she was speechless for a long time.

Xu You was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect Zhang Ling to answer like this.

Zhang Ling sighed helplessly.

“I’m not stupid. If the two of you fight me together, I really don’t have any chance of winning.”

“Consider it my loss this time. We can discuss it again. What do you think?”

When Xu You heard this, his mood did not relax because of Zhang Ling’s answer.

Zhang Ling’s words meant that his decisiveness and choice of things far exceeded the ordinary.

This was a terrifying person.

As he thought, just as Xu You was about to pull Ling Lan to the side, he recalled Zhang Ling’s strange reaction after he muttered in his mind that he was a fool in front of the sand tornado.

With a thought, Xu You made a guess.

Then.

A thought flashed through his mind: This kid is really a fool.

While thinking about this, Xu You suddenly looked up at Zhang Ling.

Then, he saw a helpless smile flash through Zhang Ling’s eyes.

“You can tell?”

Zhang Ling looked at Xu You and asked helplessly.

Hearing this, Xu You’s pupils immediately constricted.

Their conversation surprised Ling Lan.

Clearly, she did not understand the riddle-like conversation between the two of them.

Xu You did not hide anything and said directly, “One of his treasure abilities should be mind reading.”

As soon as he said this, Ling Lan’s pupils immediately constricted.

She suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling immediately raised her hand in surrender. “Hey, hey, don’t even think about that. I don’t have the intention to take the initiative to pry into your thoughts.”

“Moreover, this thing consumes a lot of my mental strength. I usually don’t dare to use it casually.”

When Xu You and Ling Lan heard this, they clearly did not plan to believe his nonsense.

Thinking of this, Xu You directly said frankly, “There are four Condensed Divine Crystals. You take the second and third largest. The other three things will belong to the three of us. How about it?”

Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Ling looked at the Knowledge Scepter.

“I don’t think I can give up on this so easily, right?”

Xu You forced himself not to think about anything, especially the existence of the system.

However, at the same time, a notification sounded from the system space, “This system can’t be spied on, nor can it be known by means like reading the host’s mind.”

Hearing this, Xu You’s expression immediately relaxed and he turned to look at Zhang Ling.

“This treasure is useless to you.”
