On the other side, Qu Tingting, upon hearing Qu Changxi's plan, objected, "Uncle, why should we cooperate with other people from the academy?"

Who is the other party?

Is it reliable?

"Moreover, there is only one rare treasure, but it's to be shared between two people. How will it be divided?"

"There is only one rare treasure, so naturally it will be given to whoever gets it."

Qu Changxi knew what Qu Tingting was worried about. "Brother Yan dared to confront the immoral and cruel Master Wan Gu in order to save an ordinary disciple. Later, he was able to teach a group of disciples who had been abandoned by everyone, and the entire special class passed. Not only that, he also healed my eyes. I believe that a person like him must be a person of noble character and trustworthy."

not to mention

At this time, cooperating with Yan Qing would be the best course of action.

"Go outside and count how many powerful forces and experts have come to the entire Bai Xiang Kingdom."

They came here lightly equipped and outnumbered.

Yan Qing is a Martial King realm expert.

Teaming up with him will greatly increase their chances of success.

"When we go out later, we must not act impulsively."

Qu Changxi reminded her again. Looking at Qu Tingting's spoiled and pampered young lady appearance, he regretted that he had been soft-hearted and brought her out.

Qu Tingting's displeasure was written all over her face.

She thought her uncle had been blind for decades and had lived a very simple life, too easily trusting outsiders. Suppressing her displeasure, she followed Qu Changxi out.

"Brother Yan, you've been waiting for a long time. This is my junior, Tingting."

"Tingting, this is Uncle Yan."

Qu Changxi introduced the two people according to their seniority.

Shang Yanting became an uncle at a young age.

As for Qu Tingting, she didn't call out; she was quite surprised.

She never expected that her uncle's friend, who was at the Martial King level, would be so young and good-looking.

Inside the inn, the green mineral light shone on the faces of others, making them look like demons and monsters. But his face appeared hazy and aloof, with a subtle air of nobility that was incredibly alluring.

"Greetings, Peak Master Yan..."

Qu Tingting said in a low voice.

How can anyone call such a young King Wu "uncle"?

She sat obediently to the side, speaking softly and gently, behaving like a well-bred young lady, which made Qu Changxi glance at her a few more times.

The raccoon also raised its head from the stool.

Her body hair was very fluffy because she had just washed it, and the green light around her shone through the gaps in her hair, giving the impression that she was glowing green all over.

Qu Tingting's eyes were fixed on the young and composed man in front of her, and she casually complimented the raccoon in his arms, "This little beast is so cute."

As expected, it caught his attention—

Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting smiled at her.

However, Qu Tingting is not the main focus.

Qu Changxi and Shang Yanting discussed that they should go to Sun Moon Lake in advance to keep watch in order not to miss the opportunity.

Where is Sun Moon Lake located?

Give the locals a low-grade spirit stone, and countless people will be willing to take them there.

The so-called Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by mountains, but these mountains are barren, with huge exposed rocks and red soil, and not a single green plant in sight.

The pool is surrounded by mountains.

The water inside was very hot, with boiling bubbles rising from it. The water was also extremely murky, and no living organisms could be seen in it.

Many people have already set up camp on the mountain.

They brought all their own food and drink, and watched the newcomers with wariness in their eyes.

Shang Yanting and his group found a flat spot to sit down. Although they were empty-handed, they had Little Raccoon with them.

"Where's the tent?"

"here!"

"Did you bring any water? The water down there doesn't seem to be safe to drink."

"I brought it."

Jia Xitong took things out of her small backpack one by one. She was well-prepared, and it didn't seem like she was there to hunt for treasure, but rather like she was there for a spring outing.

This drew attention from many people who had only brought dry rations.

Niu Chuanchuan set up their tent, and Qu Changxi also finished setting up his and Qu Tingting's tent.

The four sat around each other, gathering together while also being wary of those around them.

It's alright.

The surrounding area was mostly filled with cultivators who were either martial spirits or even martial masters.

Most of these people are just trying their luck, hoping to get a share of the profits.

As for those formidable rivals, we have not yet seen any trace of them.

"Peak Master Yan, this is our Qu family's unique Fragrance-Condensing Pill. Would you like to try it?"

Qu Tingting approached Shang Yanting with a box of milky white pills in her hand.

The aroma of the pills wafted from the box, refreshing and pleasant, tasting somewhat like mints. For some reason, Jia Xitong suddenly thought of a certain arrow advertisement.

"Thank you, but no need."

Because Qu Changxi was temporarily useful, Shang Yanting treated Qu Tingting fairly politely.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Qu Tingting persisted until Qu Changxi shouted, "Qu Tingting, come here!"

He glanced at Qu Tingting, who was unhappy because he had interrupted her, and gestured for her to return to her tent.

"I'm sorry, Tingting has been spoiled since she was little and doesn't know her place."

"Indeed..."

Before he could even speak, his mouth was covered by a bear's paw.

That's an embarrassing thing to say!

Just as Jia Xitong was about to say something to remedy the situation, a sudden roar came from inside the mountain!

Everyone quickly stood up, and Qu Tingting also ran out of the tent.

Above, the sky was a clear blue without a single white cloud, and blue-green light shifted and changed like ribbons in the sky.

Then the earth shook!

The mountain was torn apart like a sheet of paper, and countless cracks appeared in the ground. Various weapons suddenly burst out of the ground from the cracks.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

These weapons grazed past the cultivators' bodies like fast-moving meteors leaving long tails.

The weapons rapidly rose above the pool, converging and radiating light that mirrored the bands of light in the sky, creating a flowing vortex above the pool.

Hundreds and thousands of magical treasures were flying in the sky, and they were all magical treasures made of gold!

The monks, realizing what was happening, immediately reached out to grab the nearest or their favorite weapon.

At this moment, not only weapons gathered in the sky, but also people who wanted to seize them!

"Uncle, so many magical artifacts!"

Qu Tingting watched as those people eagerly tried, and Niu Chuanchuan was even more so.

However, at that moment, another deafening roar erupted.

A massive beam of light emerged from the center of the spinning weapons. This beam struck the lake's surface, causing the previously bubbling but still water to swell into a large whirlpool.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of weapons brimming with spiritual energy burst forth from the water.

It's actually... a spirit metal magic artifact!

Just how many sacred artifacts are buried in this small Sun Moon Lake?!

Not only was Niu Chuanchuan almost unable to resist, but even Qu Tingting was starting to feel tempted. Just as they were getting ready to try, several more figures joined the sword formation, vying for the sword.

Swords and spears have no eyes.

The blood above began to stain the pool red.

"The water seems to be boiling."

Jia Xitong noticed the water below churning more and more violently, and suddenly heard a third deafening roar...
