Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Chapter 196 Inside the Attic

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng could only grit their teeth and continue to persevere in breaking the formation.

And just as Qin Wanfeng had said, after two more days of perseverance, the water ripples on the surface of the blue light screen had been almost completely depleted.

—After a short while, the three-colored flame array pattern actually opened up a three-foot-wide passage in the vast water array!

"We succeeded! Let's go!" Qin Wanfeng shouted excitedly, and then, with a burst of light, he flew into the passage.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan and his companion also used their escape lights to follow closely behind, flying into the formation.

Just after all three of them entered, the large hole in the blue light screen slowly closed up.

In no time at all, it was completely healed.

Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng glanced back, their brows furrowing. They then exchanged a look, neither speaking, but both understood the meaning in the other's eyes.

However, Qin Wanfeng did not notice this.

At this moment, all he could see was the pavilion in front of him, and he was extremely excited.

Seeing that Qin Wanfeng did not speak, Li Yunfan and the other did not interrupt. Instead, they silently took out pills and began to recover their depleted spiritual energy.

Although the three had made a promise beforehand, promises are the least useful thing in the cultivation world.

They have now entered the formation, and the opened passage has automatically closed.

Only two people at the mid-stage and early-stage Core Formation realms naturally had to secretly join forces, otherwise they would absolutely be unable to contend against Qin Wanfeng, who was at the peak of the late-stage Core Formation realm!

After a moment, Qin Wanfeng finally suppressed his emotions and turned to look at the other two.

When he saw that Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng not only did not come forward, but were also standing together, he immediately understood.

"You two have worked hard. Why don't we rest here for a while and recover our spiritual energy?" Qin Wanfeng suggested with a smile.

He said this to allay their concerns, since he had no intention of betraying them after he had served his purpose.

Li Yunfan didn't speak upon hearing this, but instead looked at Zhang Teng beside him.

Since his cultivation level is currently the lowest, it's best to let Zhang Teng, who is in the mid-stage of Core Formation, make the decisions.

In this way, if Qin Wanfeng really decides to discard Zhang Teng after he has served his purpose, Zhang Teng, who is at the mid-stage of Core Formation, could become his primary target.

"Alright, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Qin says and recover here first!" Zhang Teng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Qin Wanfeng smiled slightly, then walked to a more distant place, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.

Although his cultivation level was high, he still expended a lot of energy when breaking the formation.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan and his companion felt a little relieved and then each found a place to sit down cross-legged.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yunfan opened his eyes and heard Qin Wanfeng's voice.

"Fellow Daoists, what I need is on the third floor of this pavilion. However, I already promised you that we would split the treasure equally once we retrieved it, so why don't we go in together?"

Li Yunfan still didn't answer, and kept looking at Zhang Teng, completely obedient to him.

Zhang Teng nodded in agreement with Qin Wanfeng's suggestion almost without hesitation.

The three of them walked to the door of a room on the first floor and then discovered that the entire attic was glowing with fluorescent light, clearly indicating that some kind of restriction had been set up.

Qin Wanfeng seemed to have known how to break the restriction all along. He took out a blood-red jade tablet, then made hand seals and chanted an incantation.

The jade tablet immediately emitted a blood-red spiritual light, which struck the fluorescent barrier on the surface of the door.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the restrictions on the door melted away as quickly as the first snow after encountering the crimson spiritual light.

This single scene caused Li Yunfan to frown slightly, and at the same time, he became extremely alert.

"Squeak"

After breaking the restriction on the door, Qin Wanfeng simply reached out and pushed the door open.

The moment the door was opened, an extremely rich and pure spiritual energy rushed in, instantly invigorating the three of them.

"So the spiritual energy here has been confined to the pavilion!" Li Yunfan thought to himself.

Stepping into the first floor of the attic, it was completely empty, except for a painting of flames hanging on the front wall and an altar.

Li Yunfan looked closely and saw that there was only an incense burner on the offering table, and no other offerings.

Qin Wanfeng raised his hand and sucked the scroll into his hand, then looked down to examine it.

Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng remained still, simply looking around the pavilion.

After a moment, Qin Wanfeng rolled up the scroll in his hand, then picked up the incense burner and examined it for a while before speaking to the two of them.

"Fellow Daoists, I have examined the painting and incense burner; they are both ordinary items."

After saying that, he raised his hand and tossed the two items in front of the two people.

Li Yunfan reached out and took the scroll. He glanced at Zhang Teng and saw that Zhang Teng had examined it after taking the incense burner. So Li Yunfan stopped worrying and shook the scroll to unfold it.

The entire painting consists of only a red flame in the center, with the rest of the space blank.

He used his divine sense to scan the scroll in his hand and found that it contained no spiritual power at all; it was just an extremely ordinary painting.

He hesitated for a moment, then his spiritual energy flowed directly into his eyes.

As a faint blue light emanated from his pupils, he looked at the scroll in his hand once more.

Even with the Mingqing Spirit Eye activated, nothing unusual was found.

Just when he thought it was just an ordinary painting, his eyes suddenly fell on the ball of flame in the center.

In that instant, he felt a blinding red light flash before his eyes, causing him to involuntarily close them.

But when he opened his eyes again to take a closer look, the flames in the painting showed no abnormality whatsoever.

This made him frown.

"As expected, it's just an ordinary item. Fellow Daoist Qin, please keep it safe!" After saying that, Zhang Teng threw the incense burner back into the air.

Qin Wanfeng smiled and accepted the incense burner, then looked at Li Yunfan and asked.

"Has Fellow Daoist Li noticed anything unusual about the painting?"

"No, it is indeed just as Fellow Daoist Qin said, just an ordinary painting!" Li Yunfan shook his head and said, then threw the painting back to the other party.

Qin Wanfeng reached out and caught it, then casually put it into his storage bag.

"In that case, let's go up to the second floor and take a look!"

After saying that, Qin Wanfeng headed towards the stairs.

Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng naturally followed behind him, also stepping onto the stairs and heading towards the second floor.

The second floor clearly has more items than the first floor; the first thing that catches the eye is a three-tiered wooden shelf on each side.

Several jade boxes and jade bottles were placed on top, along with three mineral-like objects that still emitted a spiritual light.

Upon seeing this, all three of them smiled.

Qin Wanfeng was the first to check, followed by Li Yunfan and Zhang Teng.

However, what frustrated the three of them was that almost all the jade boxes and bottles were empty, except for one which contained four pills.

As for those spirit ores, they are all relatively rare materials for refining weapons.

"These pills and materials are clearly not enough for the three of us to share equally. I wonder if you two fellow Daoists have any opinions?" Qin Wanfeng glanced at the two faces and said softly.

Li Yunfan remained silent, instead looking at Zhang Teng again, wanting to see what he would say.

Zhang Teng frowned, thought for a moment, and then said to Qin Wanfeng.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's good that you've made your decision. You brought us here, and we've already been paid. It would be unreasonable to be greedy!"
