boom!boom!

In the next instant, the five figures exploded simultaneously, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and even their divine souls could not escape.

One by one, mustard seed bracelets flew out from the blood mist and were caught in Ye Feng's palm.

The woman in green stared blankly at the scene, her clear eyes filled with shock.

The person before him might not be older than himself, yet he was already a supreme expert, decisive and ruthless in his killing.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir."

The woman in green came to her senses, quickly stepped forward, and bowed gracefully with a respectful attitude.

Ye Feng's gaze fell on the woman in green, and he sized her up.

The woman had a beautiful face, and although her clothes were somewhat disheveled due to the previous battle of spiritual energy, they could not conceal her outstanding temperament and demeanor.

The world is truly full of beautiful women.

"grown ups…"

Noticing Ye Feng's scrutinizing gaze, the woman in green blushed slightly and hurriedly straightened her clothes, covering up the exposed parts of her fair skin.

"Are you from the Tai Xuan Ling Academy? What's your name?"

Ye Feng spoke calmly, asking a question.

Tai Xuan Ling Academy is the number one power on the Tai Xuan Continent, and he is also aware of this continent.

The reason is simple: the Tai Xuan Continent is the only way to travel from the Luo Jian Continent to the Xi Mo Continent.

"Yes, my name is Chu Yue."

"Does Your Excellency perhaps have some past connection with our Tai Xuan Ling Academy?"

The woman in green nodded, looking at Ye Feng with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

In this vast world, people's hearts are wicked. This is not an academy; in this land of spiritual treasures, she doesn't believe there is such a kind-hearted supreme expert who would save her for no reason.

"No, I was just passing by..."

Ye Feng shook his head and responded.

He had just made his move because he couldn't stand their despicable behavior. In any case, it wouldn't affect him much; he was simply acting on behalf of Heaven and could even gain some Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

Although these people cannot compare to the supreme experts, the contents of their mustard seed bracelets are barely worth fifty drops of supreme spiritual liquid, which is still a considerable gain.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yue instinctively took two steps back without making a sound.

It was obvious that those people had left some psychological scars on the woman in green, which made her somewhat worried when facing Ye Feng.

For a woman, her chastity is undoubtedly very important, and in this desolate place, with a man and a woman alone together, Ye Feng poses a considerable threat.

"You're a bit too confident in yourself. This isn't a place to linger. If there's nothing else, you should leave quickly..."

Seeing that the woman was somewhat wary, Ye Feng's expression faltered slightly, and he couldn't help but smile, no longer wanting to ask any more questions.

He had originally planned to subtly inquire about the current timeline of the Great Thousand World through the Spirit Academy Tournament.

However, even an outstanding student with exceptional spiritual power in the Tai Xuan Spiritual Academy might not know anything.

Although he is handsome, he is not a lecherous thief who abuses his strength to humiliate women. Right now, he is only interested in the Supreme Spirit Liquid.

Enhancing one's strength, cultivating the Supreme Dharma Body, nurturing and restoring the Blazing Sword, and so on—each and every one of these requires a large amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

The Supreme Spiritual Treasury doesn't appear in the world at any time. It's rare to enter such a place of opportunity, so he must seize every chance he can.

"Sir, wait a minute..."

Seeing Ye Feng turn to leave, Chu Yue quickly called out to him, stepped forward, and gave him a graceful bow, a blush of apology appearing on her pretty face.

"Just now, I was just being petty and judging you by my own standards. I have offended you, sir. Please forgive me."

Ye Feng paused, turned to look at Chu Yue, his dark eyes calm and still, showing no displeasure.

"It doesn't hurt for a woman to be more cautious when she's out and about."

Feeling slightly relieved, Chu Yue looked up at Ye Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, sir. I would like to tell you about a place of opportunity as a token of my gratitude."

"A place of opportunity?"

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze fell on Chu Yue.

Chu Yue nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"My companions and I previously discovered a hidden cave, but unfortunately, it was protected by a level six spirit array, which we were unable to break."

"If you are willing to go, my lord, I, Chu Yue, am willing to guide you."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

A level six spirit array, also known as a human-level spirit array, has surpassed the scope of ordinary spirit arrays and can only be set up by a spirit array master of human quality.

A spirit array master of this level, depending on their strength, is equivalent to a supreme expert of the first to third rank.

"Where did your companions go...?"

Ye Feng looked at Chu Yue and asked a question.

This spiritual treasure land is quite large, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to go and see that cave, but he needed to make sure that this news hadn't been known to outsiders.

"Not long ago, they abandoned me in order to save the lives of the people in Tianlang Mountain..."

Chu Yue's face darkened, and she lowered her eyes slightly.

This time, when she returned to her family from the academy, she overheard news of the Supreme Spirit Treasury. Unable to contain herself, she decided to try her luck. The people she traveled with were all temporary team members and were not students from the Spirit Academy.

"Well…"

Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned. He hadn't expected Chu Yue to have such an experience, which explained why she was so wary of him.

"Then lead the way..."

Ye Feng didn't say anything more, and nodded slightly to Chu Yue.

"Please come with me, sir."

After Chu Yue finished speaking, she moved and took the lead in heading into the depths of the mountain range.

Ye Feng followed behind at a leisurely pace, his spiritual senses spreading out to take in all the movements around him.

Chu Yue's strength is only at the spiritual power level, posing no threat to him. He's unlikely to lie, and he'd like to see what kind of opportunity this so-called hidden cave holds.

The two walked one after the other through the dense mountain forest.

About an incense stick's time later, Chu Yue stopped in mid-air at the edge of a lush cliff.

"Sir, this is the place."

Chu Yue pointed forward, a look of joy appearing on her pretty face.

She wasn't the only one to discover this cave; fortunately, judging from the intact spiritual array fluctuations, no one had gotten there first.

Looking up, Ye Feng saw a faint spiritual light flickering on the cliff face, and within it, an ancient stone gate could be vaguely seen.

The stone gate is engraved with intricate patterns, layer upon layer, forming a mysterious spiritual array that exudes a considerable spiritual energy fluctuation.

"A level six spirit array... it seems this spiritual treasure hasn't existed for very long..."

Sensing the fluctuations of the spirit array, Ye Feng's gaze became thoughtful.

A level six spirit array isn't that powerful. It's impossible for it to exist permanently once set up. With the erosion of time, the spirit seals and array eyes that set up the array will completely dissipate.

"My lord, is it possible to break this spirit array?"

Chu Yue looked at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with anticipation.

This time, she gained nothing from coming to the Supreme Spirit Treasury, and almost lost her innocence and her life.

If she could enter this cave, even if it contained only things that this person didn't use, it would be a great gain for her.

"Step back a little."

Ye Feng nodded slightly and shook his hand.

Chu Yue quickly retreated more than ten feet, her eyes fixed on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng lightly gripped his right hand, and a light sword condensed from spiritual energy immediately appeared.

"go!

Then Ye Feng raised his hand and gently slashed, and a crimson spiritual energy sword light suddenly streaked across the sky, slashing towards the hidden spiritual energy array.

hum!

In an instant, the entire mountain wall trembled violently, with spiritual energy flowing across it and emitting a series of low humming sounds.

However, after only a moment, the buzzing gradually subsided, and the spiritual light on the spirit array began to dim.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, the spirit array shattered, and the spirit seals turned into countless points of light and dissipated, revealing the stone gate embedded in the mountain wall.

"It's broken!"

Chu Yue's eyes were filled with amazement, and her gaze towards Ye Feng was full of admiration.

Breaking through a level six spirit array with a single sword strike, even if the spirit array has existed for a long time, is something that an ordinary first-grade supreme being cannot do.

"If you're not afraid I'll harm you inside, then come in with me..."

Looking at Chu Yue's eager face, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile.

If there were any truly valuable items, he wouldn't give them up. However, even if there were valuable items in a place protected by a level six spirit array, their value would probably be quite limited.

"You're not that kind of person."

Chu Yue's pretty face flushed slightly, and her soft, melodious voice softened considerably.

Although she had only known this supreme expert for a short time, he seemed far more reliable to her than her previous companions.

If such a supreme expert really wanted to do something to her, she would have no way to resist. Moreover, if she hadn't stopped him just now, he would have already parted ways with her.

"Let's go..."

Having been given the "friend zone" treatment, Ye Feng immediately stopped joking and went in first.

Beyond the stone gate lies a deep, secluded passage.

The passage was not long, about a hundred feet, and a faint light shone from its end.

Ye Feng walked in front, with Chu Yue following closely behind. The two of them, one in front and one behind, soon arrived at the end of the passage.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

This is an underground stone chamber about a hundred feet in diameter, with smooth, mirror-like walls. Several fist-sized luminous pearls are embedded in the dome, casting a soft glow that illuminates the entire chamber.

Around the stone wall, rows of stone shelves were arranged, their surfaces shimmering with spiritual light.

"This is the Spirit Artifact Storage..."

Ye Feng's gaze swept over the rows of stone shelves, where various spiritual weapons were displayed: swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, each with a different shape and a faint spiritual light flowing through them.

"Spirit Weapon Storehouse..."

Chu Yue's pretty face was full of surprise, her clear eyes swept over the magical artifacts, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly.

With so many magical artifacts, even if most of them are only of medium to low grade, their combined value is still quite considerable.

Ye Feng remained silent, walking slowly forward, his gaze falling on a stone shelf displayed alone.

Only three spiritual artifacts were placed on the stone shelf. Unlike the spiritual artifacts that were randomly piled up around it, each of them emitted a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.

The first item was a long sword with a deep blue color. The blade was slender and inscribed with intricate sword patterns, with faint ripples of water flowing around it, radiating a cold spiritual energy.

"A near-divine weapon, the Snow Pillow Sword!"

Ye Feng's gaze narrowed slightly, and he used his spiritual energy to sense it.

Quasi-divine artifacts are between top-grade spiritual artifacts and low-grade divine artifacts. Although they are not as good as true divine artifacts, they are still rare treasures for supreme experts.

If it were auctioned off, it could fetch at least two or three hundred drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid.

"It's a pity Qingxue isn't here, otherwise this sword could have been a gift, just the name alone..."

Ye Feng's thoughts drifted slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

But soon, Ye Feng came to his senses and looked at the other two objects.

The second item was a light blue soft silk, crystal clear throughout, like a flowing spring, radiating a soft, watery halo. It was a rather rare soft weapon.

The third item is an ancient-style zither, its body a pale blue, with seven strings that faintly glow, and the characters "Yunqi" (Cloud Dwelling) engraved at the end.

"Phantom Water Silk, Cloud-Dwelling Zither..."

Ye Feng's gaze swept over the three quasi-divine artifacts, and his expression became somewhat strange.

These three quasi-divine artifacts seem to be prepared for women.

"Although they're not particularly valuable, the mustard seed bracelet can hold them all, and they'll eventually come in handy for building up our power."

Without giving it any further thought, Ye Feng raised his hand and collected all the spiritual artifacts on the stone shelf in the room into the Mustard Seed Bracelet. However, he did not use the quasi-divine artifact, the Illusionary Water Silk.

"Since you provided the information about this artifact storage, this quasi-divine artifact is yours."

As he spoke, Ye Feng gently raised his hand, and the Illusionary Water Silk transformed into a stream of light, drifting towards Chu Yue.

"This...this is for me?"

Chu Yue was slightly taken aback, and an incredulous look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. She quickly reached out and caught the light blue soft silk.

The soft silk felt warm and smooth to the touch, and the spiritual energy flowing through it made Chu Yue's delicate body tremble slightly.

"My lord, this is far too precious, I..."

Chu Yue raised her head, her clear eyes looking at Ye Feng, somewhat at a loss.

For someone with such limited spiritual power as her, a quasi-divine artifact was a coveted treasure. Although it could be exchanged at the academy, the price was simply too exorbitant.

So until now, she has only used top-grade spiritual artifacts. She never expected that she would obtain such an opportunity so easily this time.

"This is what you deserve. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have gotten here."

Ye Feng waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

Although the Illusionary Water Silk is a decent quasi-divine artifact, it is of little use to him. This time, in exploring this treasure trove of spiritual artifacts, only the Snow Pillow Sword has any significance.

Firstly, it can replace the Blazing Fire Sword to deceive others; secondly, it can be kept for Su Qingxue.

As for Jiang Zhenyue and Chen tide, those require a farewell sword.

In the Sword Continent, everyone cultivates sword energy, and the only weapon they use is the sword. This habit cannot be changed overnight.

Chu Yue stared blankly at Ye Feng, a strange emotion flickering in her beautiful eyes.

This supreme expert, whom she had never met before, not only saved her from danger but also generously gifted her such a quasi-divine artifact, while she had previously harbored petty suspicions.

"Thank you, sir!"

Chu Yue bowed deeply to Ye Feng, her fair face filled with gratitude.

"May I ask your honorable name, sir? If there is an opportunity in the future, Chu Yue will certainly repay you."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and shook his head.

"We've met by chance, no need for formalities, just call me Ye Feng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng didn't linger. He flashed away and headed towards the outside of the stone gate.

Just a moment ago, he sensed astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the core of that spiritual treasure.
