Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

No holy spirit can survive on this third level. Even if there are any, they are only fire spirits like the fire dragon. Therefore, Chu Lingxue knew that the crow was released by someone.

But besides them who just came in, only Lu Fan was left here, so the crow could only have been released by Lu Fan.

Therefore, Chu Lingxue did not attack the crow, allowing the three-eyed crow to land on her shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, where did you hide?" Chu Lingxue asked.

"It's nearby. I didn't dare get too close. This place is extremely dangerous. It seems that it will be difficult to explore for treasure alone," the crow suddenly spoke in human language, which was Lu Fan's soul transmission.

"Only one area on this third level will produce treasures, seven of which will be released every hundred years. They may be rare and precious materials, elixirs, or even ancient treasures," Chu Lingxue said.

"Seven pieces? That's not enough to go around," Lu Fan said helplessly.

"Who said we were going to share with them?" Chu Lingxue suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan paused noticeably, then said, "What? Fellow Daoist Chu intends to take these treasures for himself?"

"I have no chance of getting the Spirit Melody Divine Grass, but we can't let them take these treasures."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you willing to fight alongside me?"

Chu Lingxue said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was shocked and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, even if you and I join forces, they have nine Core Formation cultivators. How could we possibly be a match for them?"

"I have reached an agreement with Song Zhiyuan. He will not compete with me for these treasures. We only have seven enemies," Chu Lingxue suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Lu Fan was shocked again. When did Chu Lingxue start having an affair with Song Zhiyuan and what kind of cooperation did they reach?

Then Chu Lingxue recounted everything that had happened while Lu Fan was away on the second floor.

Here's the thing.

After Lu Fan left, Song Zhiyuan was continuously besieged by Gu Shuo and his group.

Originally, Song Zhiyuan intended to break through despite his severe injuries and take the Spirit Melody Divine Grass with him.

But Gu Shuo and his group persisted in their pursuit. Just then, Chu Lingxue, who had been observing the situation, took the initiative to communicate with Song Zhiyuan telepathically.

They made Song Zhiyuan agree to share the Nine Transformations Infant Pill with Gu Shuo and the Ghostly Old Man, and swear an oath with his Dao heart.

But this wasn't a genuine gift, because Chu Lingxue had her own plan: Song Zhiyuan couldn't compete for the treasures obtained after entering the third level; in exchange, Chu Lingxue would be responsible for dealing with Gu Shuo and the Ghostly Old Ghost.

In this way, even if Song Zhiyuan made a vow with his Dao heart, Gu Shuo and the old ghost Youhun are both dead, so there's no need to give him the Nine Transformations Infant Pill, and his vow will naturally fall apart.

Under Chu Lingxue's cunning maneuvering, Song Zhiyuan actually agreed, and then made a pretentious promise to give one Nine Transformation Infant Pill each to Gu Shuo and the Ghostly Old Ghost.

Although Wan Yang and Steward Ma didn't get anything, they were no match for Song Zhiyuan, so they had to stop.

Then, they stopped fighting. Song Zhiyuan continued to use his compass to explore the entrance to the third level, waiting to find the treasure and have Chu Lingxue kill Gu Shuo and the Ghostly Old Ghost.

"You..." Lu Fan was completely dumbfounded after receiving this news. The game between high-level cultivators was so complex that each person had eight hundred schemes in their mind.

He had never seen a woman so calculating!

Just as the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

Aside from mediating a fight on the first floor, Chu Lingxue never actually intervened.

He was also the only one among their group of Core Formation cultivators who had never been involved in a fight.

This very fact makes her appear harmless, but in reality, she has manipulated almost everyone present...

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please don't mind. Actually, I don't like using these underhanded tricks either. It's just that there's one of the seven treasures on the third floor that I absolutely must obtain."

"Therefore, I have no choice but to resort to this tactic. If Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to help me, I can give you the remaining six treasures; I only need one."

Chu Lingxue said slowly.

At this moment, Lu Fan was shocked again. What kind of treasure was this that made Chu Lingxue go to such lengths to scheme against it, and yet she only wanted one?

"I'm fine with it, but even with only seven opponents, I'm afraid our chances of winning are less than 30%," Lu Fan said.

"No need to worry, I only started planning after Song Zhiyuan had been fighting with them for a long time, just so that they would suffer a huge loss of spiritual energy."

"Moreover, I am 70% confident that I can quickly kill the Ghostly Old Ghost in this battle. Fellow Daoist Lu only needs to help me delay Gu Shuo. Once the Ghostly Old Ghost is dead, I will immediately help you deal with Gu Shuo."

"As long as I take down those two, I won't care about the rest."

Chu Lingxue said slowly.

"Alright! Then I'll risk my life to fight alongside 'Gentleman' and Fellow Daoist Chu!" Lu Fan readily agreed.

If he succeeds, he'll get six treasures at once! Where else can you find such a great opportunity?

While Lu Fan was talking to Chu Lingxue using crows, he flew over from another entrance.

"Let's not delay, let's go," Chu Lingxue said, and immediately flew away.

Lu Fan put away the Three-Eyed Crow and followed closely behind.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Shuo and the others, guided by Song Zhiyuan's compass, had arrived at the last treasure location.

It turned out to be a huge floating altar!

The altar was circular, with six pillars standing around it. Iron chains were wrapped around the pillars, as if it were specially set up to restrain something.

At the center of the altar, seven jade boxes were neatly arranged!

"Hehe, just like a hundred years ago, as long as this floating altar appears, there will definitely be seven treasures!" Gu Shuo looked at the jade box on the platform and was overjoyed.

Just then, Chu Lingxue and Lu Fan flew over and hovered above everyone.

"There really are seven jade boxes? Seven are released every hundred years. Who put them up there?" Lu Fan asked, looking at the jade boxes on the altar.

"Who knows? Maybe there's some kind of special, unknown restriction or formation here that keeps the jade boxes being placed on the altar," Chu Lingxue said.

Lu Fan nodded slightly.

"Everyone, only these seven treasures will appear on this third level, but we have so many cultivators, how to distribute them is a big problem," Gu Shuo said slowly as he stepped forward and looked at the crowd.

"Divide? Divide what? Fellow Daoist Gu, you and Old Ghost Youhun have already received the Nine Transformation Infant Pill promised by Song Zhiyuan. Logically speaking, neither of you is qualified to divide the treasure! If anyone should divide it, it should be those of us who have received nothing," Wan Yang said as he slowly stepped forward.

"What a joke! Do you think I already have this Nine Transformation Infant Pill?" Gu Shuo laughed immediately, clearly not wanting to miss out on these treasures.

At this moment, Song Zhiyuan stood high in the sky, coldly watching the scene below, observing the changes.

"Hehe, everyone, stop arguing. I've already reserved these seven treasures. None of you can take them," the old ghost said with a smug smile.

"Old ghost ghost, what's wrong with you? Are you looking for death?" Gu Shuo's face darkened. He didn't expect this old ghost ghost to dare to speak first.

However, at this moment, the old ghost turned his gaze to Chu Lingxue in mid-air.

At this moment, Chu Lingxue slowly flew to the side of the Ghostly Old Man.

"Chu Lingxue? What do you mean?" Gu Shuo was stunned when he saw this scene, seemingly wondering when Chu Lingxue had gotten involved with the Ghostly Old Ghost.

"Is there a problem? Fellow Daoist Youhun and I are both from the six sects of Feng Kingdom. Do you think I'd side with your Great Yan Sect?" Chu Lingxue said coldly.

Lu Fan: "..."
