So this thing is money used for transactions in the human realm, just like the spirit stones on the Vermilion Bird Continent.
Looking at the spirit coins in her hand, Dongfang Mian felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Is it too late for me to say that I used to be a billionaire? I'm really not a fool who's never even seen money before."
No matter how Dongfang Mian tried to explain, Hua Qianxun had already defined her in her mind as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
"When we get to the secret place, there will be a lot of people and gossip. Stay close to me and don't say anything carelessly," Hua Qianxun repeatedly reminded him.
"Alright, so what if I'm broke? I'm not stupid. Besides, aren't you a half-saint? If you can't even protect me, what kind of elder are you?" Dongfang Mian said irritably.
"My dear Cotton Lady, I'm just a half-saint. Are you treating me like a saint king? Which elder of a major sect isn't a saint? With my meager strength, they might even have to think twice before accepting me as their disciple," Hua Qianxun exclaimed.
"Tch," Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes at him, seeing that he still looked worried, and said impatiently, "I know, I know, I'll talk less when we get there."
Hua Qianxun nodded in satisfaction.
As the two traveled to the vicinity of the Tianwu Sect, the number of people around them gradually increased. Sects with a few, a dozen, or even dozens of disciples passing by Dongfang Mian and her companion.
"Why don't we go back? Look at their equipment, how can we compete with them?" Dongfang Mian couldn't help but say, looking at the other sect disciples who were all holding spiritual weapons and treasures.
"What's the big deal? I've already prepared some for you. We'll teach them a lesson and show them how powerful Tianyin Valley is," Hua Qianxun said, waving her fist at the backs of those people.
"Teach them a lesson? With what? The chicken legs you prepared for me?" Dongfang Mian was speechless for a moment, but she didn't really want to give up. Even if she couldn't get any knowledge of the secret place where the Holy King's inheritance was located, it would still be good to see it.
When they reached the entrance to the secret realm, they realized why the people from other sects were rushing so quickly. It turned out that three days earlier, the Tianwu Sect had invited its Supreme Elder to break the seal on the secret realm ahead of time and enter it first.
Without hesitation, Dongfang Mian and Hua Qianxun followed the crowd into the secret area.
This secret place was discovered in a dense forest at the foot of the back mountain of the Tianwu Sect. It was initially sealed off by strange restrictions, and various people had to be invited to study it together, which led to the news being leaked. In the end, the Tianwu Sect simply announced that the secret place would be open to the public, and those who were destined would obtain the opportunities within.
It now seems that they were unwilling to let others take the opportunity, so they rushed into the secret place first.
“No need to rush. If it were first come, first served, it wouldn’t be considered a stroke of luck,” Hua Qianxun said without any hurry.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mian calmed down, and the two of them strolled aimlessly through the secret place.
"Isn't that Hua Qianxun from Tianyin Valley? What's he doing here?"
"What are they doing? It must be for the Holy King's legacy, otherwise why would someone like him come back here?"
"Is that girl next to him with him?"
"I don't know, he seems a bit naive, who knows, he might easily trick him into taking the fall for him."
"What! Could the rumors be true? Does he really have that kind of fetish?"
As Hua Qianxun walked along, she fanned herself while making nitpicking comments about her surroundings. She was quickly recognized by others, and all the chatter reached Dongfang Mian's ears.
