Inside the dark cave.
Liu Xi and Little Fairy Doctor are doing something naughty and shameful.
Of course, it was the willow mat that was dry, and it was Little Fairy Doctor who was ashamed.
A spacious stone chamber, a long stone platform, three stone chests, a skeleton, a stone chair, a large pile of gold coins, and a large pile of rare medicinal herbs.
Little Fairy Doctor never expected that Liu Xi would know she had discovered the treasure cave.
Having no other choice, I had to bring the willow mat with me.
Liu Xi is a Fighting Master, so entering the cave is naturally very easy for him.
Instead of damaging the stone chamber door, Liu Xi had Little Fairy Doctor use her mechanical skills.
Liu Xi gave Little Fairy Doctor a storage ring and asked her to pack up the medicinal herbs and gold coins.
He himself took the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map and opened the three stone boxes.
The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle Wings (a high-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill), and the Mad Lion's Roar (a high-level Xuan-rank wind-attribute combat skill).
There are no other things besides these three.
However, Liu Xi did not believe that a powerhouse at least at the Dou Wang level would not have a storage ring, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, a bunch of high-grade medicinal herbs, two scrolls of Xuan-rank high-level fighting techniques, and a scroll of Seven-Colored Poison Scripture to feed a beggar.
Liu Xi called Little Fairy Doctor over, and the two of them studied the stone chamber together to see if there were any other hidden mechanisms.
This time, without the Wolf Head Mercenary Group following them, Liu Xi and his companion had ample time to study the stone chamber.
Persistence pays off. Liu and Xi discovered a very well-hidden compartment under the stone chair with the white skeleton.
The switch for this hidden compartment is cleverly concealed, right under the stone chair.
If you ignore this skeleton and don't intend to collect its body, you'll never find it.
Fortunately, Liu and Xi were good people who were planning to give the skeleton a proper burial, which happened to trigger the switch of the hidden compartment.
The hidden compartment opens to reveal a fairly spacious stone pit, resembling a trough.
In the stone pit, there was a golden longsword, three scrolls, a storage ring, and an animal hide.
Liu and Xi were the first to take out the animal hides, and the writing on them immediately caught their eyes.
"Lucky young man, congratulations! You've found the hidden compartment I left behind. Finding this compartment means you, or perhaps a group of kind-hearted fellows, are qualified to receive my life savings..."
"I am Yan Canglan, a descendant of the royal family of the Wanyan Kingdom. Having no interest in vying for the throne, I left home and, with two or three friends, wander to every corner of the continent..."
"I have been to the Cloud Mist region in the south of the continent, where I hunted the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, a fifth-tier magical beast whose flying speed ranks among the top of all flying magical beasts. I have been to the far north sea in the north of the continent, where I have experienced the boundless beauty of the ocean. I have traveled through the desolate deserts in the west of the continent..."
"My time is drawing near, and I've heard that the Kingdom of Wanyan has long since abandoned me. I have no face to disturb the royal family and relatives, and to cause an unnecessary dispute over the inheritance. I will leave my life savings here, hoping to find a virtuous and destined person..."
The skeleton was an old man of detached temperament who only asked Liu and Xi to help him collect his remains and, if fate allowed, to help him look after the Kingdom of Wanyan.
And then, that was it.
"This sword is so cool!"
The Little Fairy Doctor picked up the sword, examined it closely in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration, and she couldn't put it down.
"Azure Wave Sword!"
Liu Xi read out the name on the golden longsword's scabbard.
The handwriting is bold and powerful, exuding an aura of nobility.
According to Yan Canglan, this was a birthday gift from his father, the emperor, to him on the occasion of his coming of age.
It was forged over three years using the essence of a unique lava gold thread ore found only in the Wanyan Kingdom.
Its material is so hard that it can even withstand the claws of a sixth-tier magical beast.
Moreover, the sword's edge is so sharp that it can pierce through the defenses of a third-tier magical beast without the aid of battle aura.
Because of its refining material, which is the essence of lava gold thread ore, it also has a certain restraining effect on cultivators and magical beasts with earth and rock attributes.
"A treasure!"
Liu Xi accepted the golden longsword without any hesitation.
Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes. Although she was indignant, she realized that this sword was indeed more suitable for a man to use.
Next were the three scrolls placed in the stone trough.
The first volume is a low-level Earth-rank sword and combat technique that Yan Canglan obtained by chance.
The Rainbow Sword Technique
The sword splits like a startled rainbow, a startled rainbow emerges from the gorge, a startled rainbow is like a dragon, a startled rainbow in the nine heavens, a startled rainbow that is unparalleled!
Mastering just three of the five sword techniques is comparable to a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill.
Once you master all five techniques, you'll be able to compete even with mid-level Earth-rank combat skills!
However, Yan Canglan himself seemed to have only mastered the fourth form.
The second scroll is a mechanical scroll, specifically designed to teach people how to set up array mechanisms. Liu Xi handed it over to Little Fairy Doctor.
The last scroll was a secret technique scroll, which turned out to be the secret method for creating flying combat techniques.
Liu Xi laughed heartily; he had struck gold!
The secret techniques for creating flying combat skills have been lost for a long time.
Aside from the Northwest Continent, the Luoyan Empire, the Golden Goose Sect, and the secret techniques they created, it seems that other sects and forces do not possess them.
Even Canaan Academy doesn't seem to exist.
Unexpectedly, Yan Canglan possesses such a treasure.
Liu Xi accepted the gift without hesitation once again.
Little Fairy Doctor pouted, quite dissatisfied with Liu Xi's overbearing attitude.
"Sweetie, give me this. Once I've figured it out, I'll forge you a pair of beautiful wings!"
Liu Xi comforted Little Fairy Doctor and gave her a blank check.
"real?"
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, seemingly unaware that Liu Xi was deceiving her.
"Really, you can choose whichever wings you want to forge, and I'll take care of the forging!"
Liu Xi patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Alright, then you absolutely must remember to refine it for me!"
The Little Fairy Doctor gave instructions with some unease.
"Don't worry, when have I ever gone back on my word?"
Liu Xi reached out and rubbed her head.
"snort!"
Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes and tilted her head, inwardly complaining:
"We've only just met, how can you say there's no regret about it?!"
After putting away the golden longsword and the three scrolls, Liu Xi reached out his hand towards the pale gold storage ring in the stone trough.
"This storage ring is mine!"
Little Fairy Doctor snorted softly, and with her jade-like little hand, she snatched the storage ring first.
"Um, little fairy doctor, don't rush. Let's see what other treasures are inside?"
Liu Xi also really wanted one.
This storage ring looks quite nice; I imagine it has a lot of space inside.
It wasn't that he wanted to compete with Little Fairy Doctor; it was just that he needed a lot of medicinal herbs to refine medicine.
A larger space means more room to store things.
"Hmph! No way!"
Little Fairy Doctor slipped the storage ring onto her finger.
"this..."
Liu Xi was about to offer some advice when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he turned to look at the entrance to the stone chamber.
"Found it here!"
"Oh no, someone beat us to it!"
"Commander, Young Commander, there seems to be someone inside!"
Several noisy voices came in, and more than a dozen figures holding torches and weapons rushed in.
