"That's exactly right."

"The current infighting between the two factions is not beneficial to either side."

"How about this, let's go to the Scripture Pavilion first and see if we can find any clues about the fragments of the magical artifact."

"If we really find it, then our Qingyun Sect and Jianmen Mountain can join hands to study the mysteries of this magic weapon fragment together."

"At that time, the ownership of the spiritual vein will no longer be an issue."

After listening to Su He's words, the elder remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.

"Okay, we'll do as you say."

"I'll go and invite the sect leader over right away. Let's go to the Scripture Pavilion together."

Upon hearing this, Su He was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."

"However, I have another request."

The elder asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"I wonder if your sect leader would do me the honor of shaking hands with me and making peace?"

In this way, we can also demonstrate our sincerity to the people of Jianmen Mountain.

Upon hearing this, the elder paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, you're quite clever, kid."

"Very well, I'll go and invite the sect leader over now so we can shake hands and make peace in person."

After saying that, the elder turned and left, and soon returned with the sect leader of Qingyun Sect.

The leader of the Qingyun Sect was a middle-aged man with handsome features and an extraordinary demeanor.

Upon seeing Su He, he also showed a look of surprise.

"Are you Su He from Jianmen Mountain?"

The elders said you have a way to resolve the conflict between our two factions?

Su He quickly cupped his hands and said, "It is indeed I."

"Would the sect leader do me the honor of shaking hands and making peace with me?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect pondered for a moment before slowly extending his hand.

The Qingyun Sect leader and Su He shook hands and made peace. Their hands were tightly clasped together, as if at that moment, the grudges of the past hundred years had been resolved.

He exchanged a few more words with the Qingyun Sect leader before taking his leave to return to Jianmen Mountain to report back.

Su He was in a particularly good mood throughout the journey. This matter was likely to spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

The fact that the prestigious Qingyun Sect and Jianmen Mountain would shake hands and make peace over a mere disciple is simply unbelievable!

Soon, Su He returned to Jianmen Mountain. He went straight to Juechenzi's residence and told him everything that had happened.

After listening, Juechenzi nodded repeatedly and praised, "Good, well done!"

"I never imagined, Su He, that you could actually persuade the Qingyun Sect. It's truly a miracle!"

Su He smiled gently.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, you flatter me. This is all thanks to you."

"If you hadn't sent me to negotiate, this matter would probably have been very difficult to resolve."

Juechenzi waved his hand.

"Alright, stop being modest."

"The most urgent task at hand is to find the whereabouts of that magical artifact fragment as soon as possible."

"Su He, what are your thoughts?"

Su He pondered for a moment.

"In my opinion, we should form a treasure-hunting team composed of elite disciples from both factions."

"On the one hand, it can enhance the relationship between the two factions and resolve their enmity; on the other hand, it can also pool our wisdom and find clues to the fragments of the magic weapon more quickly."

Juechenzi nodded.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

I'll go and inform the Qingyun Sect immediately, and ask them to send their elite disciples to join us.

And so, a treasure-hunting team composed of elite disciples from Jianmen Mountain and Qingyun Sect was born.

Besides Su He, Jianmen Mountain also has two other outstanding disciples of Juechenzi: Lei Ting and Feng Qingyang.

On the Qingyun Sect's side, the team was led by an elder named Qin Yun, along with two disciples, one named Sima Feng and the other named Li Hanshuang.

These individuals are all outstanding members of their respective factions, with cultivation levels exceeding Martial King, and Elder Qin Yun is an even more formidable Martial Venerable.

Once the treasure-hunting team was assembled, Su He gathered everyone to discuss the itinerary.

"Gentlemen, our purpose in coming here is to find the whereabouts of the fragments of the magical artifact."

"Based on my speculation, this fragment of the magic weapon is very likely in the secret chamber of the Scripture Pavilion of the Qingyun Sect."

"But to enter the secret chamber, one must have the token of the Qingyun Sect Leader."

Elder Qin Yun nodded upon hearing this.

"Indeed, our Qingyun Sect's Scripture Pavilion does have a secret room."

This secret chamber was left by our ancestors, and only the successive leaders of the sect know its secrets.

Although I am an elder, I have never entered that secret chamber.

"That makes things easier. All we need to do is find the token to enter the secret room and find out what's inside."

However, this token is probably hard to find.

Elder Qin Yun shook his head.

"This token is always carried by the sect leader and is not easily shown to others."

If we want to get it, I'm afraid the only way is to get it from the sect leader.

Upon hearing this, Su He pondered for a moment.

"How about this, we should first go and pay our respects to the sect leader of Qingyun Sect and persuade him to hand over the token to us."

"If he refuses, we'll think of other ways."

Everyone agreed that it made sense, so they all went to Qingyun Sect together.

However, to their surprise, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect was not in the sect.

It is said that he has been in seclusion for many days and his whereabouts are unknown.

Just as everyone was getting anxious, Su He had a sudden inspiration.

"Everyone, since the sect leader is not here, let's go and take a look at the Scripture Pavilion."

"Maybe we can find some clues."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense, and so they followed Su He to the Sutra Repository.

The Sutra Repository is a key location of the Qingyun Sect, and it is usually heavily guarded, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.

But with Elder Qin Yun present, no one dared to stop them.

As the group entered the library, they were greeted by endless bookshelves.

Su He looked closely and discovered that these bookshelves were arranged according to a certain pattern.

He pondered it carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Gentlemen, look at the arrangement of these bookshelves. Doesn't it resemble a maze?"

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention and looked closely. After a moment, they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Su He is right, the arrangement of these bookshelves does indeed resemble a maze!"

"Could this be the path to the secret chamber?"

"Very likely!"

"If we follow the path in this maze, we might find the entrance to the secret room!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and quickly followed Su He along the maze-like route of the bookshelves.

Throughout the journey, everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that they might trigger some kind of trap.

However, to their surprise, the maze's route was surprisingly smooth, without any obstacles.

Finally, after walking for about half an hour, the group arrived at a dead end.

Su He examined it carefully and suddenly noticed a groove on the wall. The shape of the groove was exactly the same as the token of the Qingyun Sect leader!

He quickly shared his discovery with everyone.

"Gentlemen, we've found the entrance to the secret chamber!"
