Qian Duoduo darted between the stone chambers like a happy squirrel. He rushed into one of the chambers, glanced at the pills inside, and scoffed, "Tch, just Spirit Condensation Pills? I have plenty at home."

He turned and went into the next room; seeing a pile of talismans, he shook his head again: "Low-grade talismans, boring." His eyes lit up only when he saw several pieces of dark metal piled up in a stone chamber: "Hey, star iron! This stuff is good, can be used to forge a good lock!"

The surrounding cultivators watched him pick and choose, but no one dared to say anything. Instead, they all expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master Qian, for storing this treasure!" "Young Master Qian is truly generous!"

Little did they know, Qian Duoduo simply looked down on these "ordinary goods," and didn't specifically save them for him.

Xiao Chen did not enter the stone chamber. Instead, his gaze passed over the treasures and landed deep in the cave—there was a lush bamboo forest. At the end of the bamboo forest, a small mountain could be vaguely seen. A wisp of almost tangible spear intent lingered on the mountaintop, which was even purer than the combined spear intent of the five paths from before.

He strode through the stone chamber area and into the bamboo forest.

As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, he felt the pure spear intent rushing towards him, carrying an unwavering determination. Xiao Chen smiled. This spear intent was indeed domineering, but unfortunately, he had already thoroughly comprehended a similar spear intent while on the side path. Now, seeing it again, it had less of an impact and more of a sense of understanding.

Beside the bamboo grove, several cultivators had already sat down cross-legged, closing their eyes to comprehend the spear intent at the mountain peak, their faces filled with a mixture of piety and pain.

Xiao Chen did not linger, but went straight through the bamboo forest to the foot of the hill.

Just then, a golden figure strode quickly from the direction of the stone chamber; it was Qian Duoduo. He held a fist-sized piece of star iron in his hands, a satisfied smile on his face. When he saw Xiao Chen, his eyes lit up, and he quickly came forward to greet him: "Brother Xiao, you've finally arrived! The spear intent on this mountain peak is quite something, aren't you going to take a look?"
