The apprentices were all excited, looking around with great curiosity, finding everything here so new and exciting.
Indeed, his disciples had lived in poverty since childhood and had never had the chance to see the magnificent city lord's mansion.
However, upon closer inspection, Gu Changqing discovered that the city lord's mansion was truly luxurious. Every brick and tile inside was made of the finest materials, and every plant and tree was made of the most precious flowers and plants. It was extremely extravagant.
The furnishings inside the city lord's mansion were incredibly luxurious and high-class, no less impressive than anywhere else.
While his disciples were touring the city, Gu Changqing sensed a particularly unusual aura emanating from a room in the city lord's mansion. Without hesitation, he followed the scent.
When they arrived at the place, they discovered that the smell was none other than countless delicacies. Although Gu Changqing was somewhat disappointed, thinking it was a treasure, he adhered to the principle of not taking what he shouldn't take and simply pocketed all the delicacies, keeping them for himself and sharing some with his disciples later.
Gu Changqing had some doubts. A city lord should have some spirit stones and treasures, right? Why didn't he see any treasures, spirit stones, or storage rings when the city lord died? That shouldn't be the case. Did the city lord know he would be in danger and hide his things in advance? But where did the city lord hide them?
Gu Changqing was completely baffled. He then scanned the area with his divine sense and finally discovered a clue. He quickly headed towards that place.
It was a very secluded little dark room, which looked ordinary and no different from any other house. The only difference was that there was a hidden compartment inside. After opening the compartment, Gu Changqing was shocked by what he saw.
It was filled with all kinds of pearls, agates, jade, antiques, rare and precious calligraphy and paintings, as well as countless top-grade spiritual stones, weapons, and many other items, and there were also many boxes.
It must be said that this city lord was extremely cunning. He actually put all the treasures in his mansion into a basement, afraid that others would find out. However, no matter how well he hid them, he still couldn't escape Gu Changqing's sharp eyes.
Gu Changqing casually opened one of the boxes, which was also filled with all sorts of treasures: top-grade spirit stones, excellent weapons, armor, gems, spirit fruits, magic treasures, divine pills... a wide variety of items, everything imaginable, a veritable bumper harvest. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, completely absorbed in the treasures.
This is so awesome! Who wouldn't love getting free treasure?
Without hesitation, Gu Changqing took all the treasures, leaving nothing behind, and then threw them all into the system space.
The countless spirit stones and treasures astonished and left Gu Changqing in disbelief.
This harvest is simply incredible; everything is extremely precious. In addition to spirit stones, there are countless treasures whose names I don't even know. It's absolutely amazing.
Thinking about it more carefully, it makes sense. The city lord's mansion has so many rare treasures that it's probably more than all the wealth of all the people in the city combined.
After collecting all the treasures here, Gu Changqing, in high spirits, flicked his sleeves and left the small dark room, returning to the outside world.

"Husband, where did you go? How come you disappeared as we walked?" Jiang Qingcheng asked curiously.
"As I was walking, I noticed something amiss. Thinking there might be some danger, I went there alone without saying anything. I didn't expect to actually discover something." Gu Changqing continued walking, and then, with a thought, a large pile of delicious food appeared before him.
"This is something I discovered, so I brought it back for you all to try. Qingcheng, share this food with your disciples. I'm going to rest over there," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Good, they're in for a treat now. Oh, by the way, husband, Sisi and Baixue are still with the girl in purple. Everything here has been taken care of. Why don't we have them come to the City Lord's Mansion to find us?" Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile.
"I almost forgot about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Leave it to me. I'll go find them in a bit and then meet up with you. You don't need to worry about it. Just keep an eye on these kids," Gu Changqing said with a smile.
"Mm." Jiang Qingcheng then distributed the food to her disciples, who were all very happy and ate to their hearts' content.
While his disciples ate, Gu Changqing went to the side to absorb cultivation power. Before starting, he had some questions and said, "System, come out quickly. Hasn't my cultivation reached its peak? What's the use of so much cultivation power? In other words, I've used all the cultivation power I received from transferring power to improve my own realm. Now that my realm is at its highest, why should I absorb more? It won't improve my realm anyway!"
"The host has indeed reached the highest level in history, but that doesn't mean the cultivation within the body is useless. The host no longer needs to absorb this cultivation. Just as you thought, absorbing cultivation can no longer improve the realm, because the host's realm has reached the highest level in history, unmatched by anyone. However, the host can completely infuse this cultivation into weapons, magic treasures, or anything else the host wants to infuse. In this way, the host's weapon rewards will be even more powerful than before. The host might as well give it a try; you'll definitely be surprised by the results," the system said seriously.
"Alright, then I'll try it as you say and see if it really works as you say," Gu Changqing said, half-believing.
"Host, you can participate in the lottery again now. How about a lottery?" The system's voice rang out in your mind once more.
"A lottery? What kind of treasures can I possibly win? If I can't win anything good, why should I bother?" Gu Changqing said directly.
"Okay, host, please wait a moment while Greenie takes a close look," the system replied in a serious tone.
"Because only two people are receiving the skill transfer, there are only five chances to win the lottery this time. The prizes include the Chaos Active Volcano, the Chaos Eight Trigrams Electric Blade, the Chaos Coiling Dragon Spear, the Chaos Golden Buddha Axe, and the Chaos Flying Boat. Would you like to participate in the lottery?" the system continued seriously.
Are they all chaotic items? Just hearing that sounds incredibly high-class and sophisticated. This is the first time Gu Changqing has ever drawn a chaotic item, and he couldn't help but get excited.
"Wow, just hearing this name tells me it's no ordinary thing. The word 'chaos' sounds much higher than 'ancient' and 'primordial,' making it even more extraordinary. Quickly, let me draw the prize!" Gu Changqing said excitedly, overjoyed.
"The lottery is in progress..." Greenie's cheerful voice rang in my mind again.
