Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The group of thirteen was the largest among all the teams, attracting many curious glances.

But seeing that it was Chang Wen, then it was fine.

It's not surprising that a notorious loan shark would have a lot of thugs around him.

The thirteen people flew slowly and leisurely, not missing any place where there might be treasure.

Jian Jiuxiao also had a compass, which allowed him to sense areas with abundant spiritual energy. The entire team was currently following him.

"The Lucky Compass only has three or four uses, so we need to use it sparingly. Let's see if he can find the treasure first; if he can't, then I'll look for it."

Chang Wen had this plan.

Several days later, the thirteen people saw a tower, its body crooked and twisted, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"The fluctuations in spiritual energy are coming from here."

Jian Jiuxiao glanced at the compass, then looked at Chang Wen, "Shall we go in?"

"Wait a minute. Be careful when you're out and about, especially in such a dangerous place."

Chang Wen spoke up, then looked down at Su Xiaoman beside him and called out, "Xiaoman, throw some spirit stones in."

"it is good."

Su Xiaoman didn't ask why, she just did as she was told. She took out a handful of mid-grade spirit stones from her Qiankun bag and threw them forcefully.

He's definitely trained; he can throw it hundreds of meters.

"Brother Chang, what's wrong...?"

Jian Jiuxiao was extremely puzzled. Shen Changfeng and the others also looked at Chang Wen, unable to understand what Chang Wen was trying to do.

"This is called testing the waters, first determining if there are any dangers inside."

Chang Wen explained carefully.

Everyone...

Wow, what a clever way to test the waters! So that's what "testing the waters" means! I've learned something new!

After waiting for a while and seeing no unusual activity coming from inside, the group finally went inside. Jian Jiuxiao and Shen Changfeng led the way.

They're paid to do things, so they have to take the risks. As long as the money is right, even if they're the holy sons of various peaks, they can become competent bodyguards.

After everyone confirmed that there was no danger, Chang Wencai took the two children inside to check the situation.

This place is no different from an ordinary tower, only a few hundred feet in circumference, which is considered a relatively small tower in the cultivation world.

There is a bookshelf against the wall, filled with books containing cultivation techniques and various skills and experiences.

"Wow, this is a cultivation technique pavilion?"

Upon recognizing it, Jian Jiuxiao and the others couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The fact that they, as Nascent Soul cultivators, could lose their composure like this showed just how excited they were.

Chang Wen also looked up and stared in shock.

What must a martial arts pavilion that has survived tens of thousands of years and is still so well preserved look like in its heyday?

Unimaginable.

What he couldn't even imagine was how many cultivation techniques were here?

"Could something be wrong? I feel like I'm dreaming."

Shen Changfeng couldn't help but say, "Although this cultivation technique pavilion is not as large as the Haoran Immortal Sect, it is not small either. It is comparable to many second-rate forces."

"Hiss... Doesn't that mean the few of us can divide up a second-rate power?"

Some people couldn't help but gasp for breath. If that were truly the case, even if they didn't find the ancestral master's legacy on this trip, they would have no regrets!

"That's true, but I have a question."

Just then, Chang Wen spoke up, "As far as I know, this cultivation technique pavilion is a vital location for the sect and should be heavily guarded. But there isn't even a single trap here, yet the cultivation technique pavilion has been completely preserved. Don't you find that strange?"

"Senior Brother Chang Wen, isn't anyone over there?"

Someone gestured towards the southeast. There, leaning against the corner of a cabinet, sat a figure.

Over the years, that figure has become a fossil, dried by the wind.

Upon seeing this, Chang Wen approached the fossil and examined it closely.

"How scary."

Su Xiaoman didn't dare to look and covered her eyes with her small hands. Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was fine. He always ate chicken in one gulp and was immune to such trivial matters.

"There's a token here!"

Chang Wen noticed a bronze-colored token on the fossil's waist. Using his divine sense to examine it, he discovered a few small characters: Elder of the Yunmeng Sect.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was a sect called Yunmeng Sect, and this fossil is the work of an elder of the Yunmeng Sect's Cultivation Techniques Pavilion."

After deducing the basic information, Chang Wen couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of life and the ruthlessness of time.

Upon careful examination with divine sense, it was discovered that there were many such fossils in this cultivation technique pavilion, presumably all of whom had passed away in this pavilion.

"He seems to have a photographic stone in his hand!"

Jian Jiuxiao was experienced and observant. After discovering the recording stone, he immediately tried to open it, but to no avail.

Over the years, the spiritual energy within the image stone has long been exhausted, and the image within it has also dissipated along with the spiritual energy imprint, becoming an ordinary stone.

"What a pity!"

Jian Jiuxiao put the recording stone back in its original place, his eyes filled with regret. If this recording stone could be opened, perhaps he could take this opportunity to see the scene from tens of thousands of years ago, which would be of great significance.

"Let's collect the cultivation technique first, otherwise it'll be troublesome if someone finds out!"

Chang Wen made a decision.

"it is good."

Jian Jiuxiao agreed, then looked at Shen Changfeng, "How about we leave five people with Brother Chang, and the other five go to collect the cultivation techniques? We'll rotate every hour, how about that?"

Although they coveted the treasure, they didn't forget their original intention and always remembered to protect Chang Wen's safety. Shen Changfeng and the other nine had no objections and complied immediately.

"There's actually a complete cultivation technique pavilion here!?"

However, just as everyone was about to collect the cultivation technique, five people suddenly burst in through the entrance, attracting everyone's attention.

What are you most afraid of when collecting treasures?

Of course, I'm afraid of being discovered!

Chang Wen and his thirteen men immediately became wary, probing the newcomers. This probing led them to discover two familiar faces.

All five were from the Taixu Sword Sect. Nangong Chi and Dugu Wentian, who had attended the Dao Discussion Conference, were among them. Chang Wen did not recognize the remaining three; they were three Grandmasters at the Integration Stage.

"Chang Wen?"

Nangong Chi and Dugu Wentian shouted in unison, clearly not expecting to encounter Chang Wen in this place, and immediately became alert.

Seeing that there were thirteen of them, they became even more wary!

There's only one outcome when disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect meet disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect: a fight!

But this time it's different. Both sides have Mahayana restrictions on them, so even if they fight, they can't hurt each other in the slightest, and there's no point in fighting.

Upon realizing this, Nangong Chi and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"What's up?"

Chang Wen spoke calmly. His side had thirteen people, while the other side only had five. He was not flustered at all, and even a little relaxed.

This is where hiring a bodyguard comes in handy!

"Could we also buy some of the cultivation techniques here?"

Nangong Chi asked the question.

Although they cannot be harmed, if any of Chang Wen's group comes to stop them, they will have no chance to receive the cultivation technique.

Therefore, she chose to negotiate rather than confront them directly.

"Brother Chang, don't fall for her honey trap! There's not a single good person in the Taixu Sword Sect!"

Shen Changfeng immediately advised Chang Wen to stop being blinded by beauty and doing something foolish.

Both Chang Wen and Nangong Chi were stunned by his words.

Chang Wen: Do I look like someone who would be easily seduced by beauty?

Nangong Chi: I just said one thing, how did that become seduction? You can donate your eyes if you don't want them!

Although, Chang Wen still nodded to Shen Changfeng, then looked at Nangong Chi and said:

"You surely know that the Vast Immortal Sect and the Void Sword Sect are mortal enemies. Since you know this, is there any additional condition for me to make an exception?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked towards Nangong Chi.
