Qin Feng looked at the fiery red ore that Xiao Tian had given him. He didn't know what it was, but it seemed very powerful and useful.

"This is a special spiritual material formed by the intersection of the Law of Fire and this world. It possesses a certain power of the law and should be a good material for refining weapons. But, Master, do you know how to refine weapons now?"

Qin Feng felt a toothache upon hearing this; he was completely clueless.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's leave here first."

He put the ore away and figured he'd figure out what to do with it later. Anyway, it was a good thing; anything that could be related to the laws of nature couldn't be an ordinary object.

“Master, you’re right. I can already sense that someone is coming.”

Qin Feng was startled. He hadn't even realized that Xiao Tian's spiritual sense covered a wider area than his own, and his combat power was also stronger than his own at the moment.

He quickly left, as he wasn't feeling well and didn't want to cause any pointless conflict.

If people think he has obtained some rare treasure here, the people of Qingzhou will be fine and won't dare to cause him trouble. But this is the border with Yunzhou, and the people of Yunzhou may not necessarily give him face.

It's best to leave as soon as possible.

Sure enough, someone arrived less than fifteen minutes after he left.

There were eight or nine people, and judging from their clothing and positions, they must have come from different factions.

He must be from Yunzhou.

After they arrived, they found nothing unusual. Everything was so ordinary. They couldn't find any trace of the emergence of any extraordinary treasure, nor did it seem like a secret realm had been opened.

They were very upset.

Nothing was found.

It's a very desolate place; there isn't even a small animal in sight.

Of course, they wouldn't realize that it was like another world altogether; even if it collapsed inside, no one could tell from the outside.

"Something's not right. The source of that huge noise is right here. There's no reason we haven't found anything."

"Could it be that someone obtained the treasure and then disposed of it?"

"That's unlikely. Look here, there's absolutely no trace of human intervention."

"Was the loud noise earlier just an illusion?"

"That can't be it. If it were an illusion, how could so many of us have heard it at the same time?"

"Oh well, forget about it. What bad luck. We didn't see anything. What a waste of time. Let's all go home."

They walked around for a while but didn't find anything, so they decided to leave.

At this moment, Li Dehua and his group from Qingzhou arrived and saw that these people were searching for something.

Li Dehua found their clothes somewhat familiar.

Since Qingzhou and Yunzhou are located on the border, there will inevitably be some contact and trade between them.

He stepped forward and bowed, asking, "Are you fellow Daoists from Flying Cloud Pavilion, Snow Mountain Sect, and Qin Sword Manor?"

These people came to their senses and looked at Li Dehua.

"So it's Patriarch Li. I am Liu Qingpeng from Feiyun Pavilion. Greetings, Patriarch Li."

"I am Hou Zhen from the Snow Mountain Sect. Greetings, Patriarch Li."

"I am Yan Haofeng from Qinjian Villa. I greet Patriarch Li."

When Li Dehua realized they recognized him, things became much easier.

"You all arrived before us, have you made any discoveries?"

Liu Qingpeng of Feiyun Pavilion said bitterly, "To be honest with Patriarch Li and fellow Daoists, we have only been here for a short time and have not found anything yet. We are already planning to leave."

"Yes, look at us, do we look like we've gained anything?"

Li Dehua and the others exchanged glances, also somewhat skeptical.

However, most people remained silent.

At this moment, a member of the Flamefire Sect said quietly, "That's hard to say. Maybe you've already reaped a great harvest."

Liu Qingpeng's expression turned cold. This was provoking trouble. He looked coldly at the person from the Yanhuo Sect who was speaking, and the latter calmly met his gaze.

He felt utterly pissed off; he hadn't gotten any benefits and had only gotten himself into a mess.

"What do you mean? Even if we don't get the treasure, what does it have to do with you?"

"Oh, so you mean you admit you've obtained the treasure?"

"Hmph, nonsense. Does this place look like a place where treasures might be unearthed?"

Li Dehua watched the two arguing, but he didn't try to stop them. There's always someone who has to be the bad guy, and since someone's taking the lead, he was happy to oblige.

"Hmph, we heard such a commotion. If it were nothing unusual, why would you be here? Since you arrived first, you have time to clean everything up and restore it to its original state."

"It seems you're not planning to let us leave today?"

The two groups were about to start fighting as they were talking.

People in Qingzhou believe that the forces in Yunzhou benefited from the cleanup.

Yunzhou felt very aggrieved. They had come all this way, only to get nothing and be unfairly blamed. They were furious.

The two sides had roughly equal numbers of people and similar strength, and a fight broke out at the slightest disagreement.

...

As the instigator of this incident, Qin Feng had already left this place of trouble and was heading towards the Qin residence.

He wasn't in good condition, and it took him longer to get back than it took to get there.

Upon returning to the Qin residence, they found it much more lively, with a constant stream of visitors.

Qin Feng discovered that Leng Yuexi was waiting for him.

Seeing that his face was a little pale, Leng Yuexi asked with concern:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, replying, "It went fairly smoothly, just a bit too much exertion. I'll be fine after a period of rest."

Relieved, Leng Yuexi then saw Qin Feng with a mischievous grin on her face:

"By the way, as you've seen, the Qin family is incredibly popular right now. Don't you have any other ideas?"
