It remains to be seen whether Master Ziwei will regret saying this in the future.
But Qiu Changtian was relieved in his heart: It's done.
With the permission of Master Ziwei, he could stay in Fenbao Rock openly on the pretext of "looking for a treasure that could assist in the practice of thunder magic".
Elder Ge, who was guarding Fenbao Rock, had an unshakable habit of returning to his cave at 3 p.m. every day to drink tea and then enter into meditation to practice.
Therefore, if anyone came to Fenbao Rock to take treasures after 2:15 pm, he would likely be ordered to leave by Elder Ge and be asked to come back tomorrow.
As the successor to the headmaster and the beloved disciple of the Ziwei headmaster, Qiu Changtian would certainly not be treated the same as ordinary cultivators.
Therefore, he just waited slowly until 3:15 pm, when Elder Ge was about to leave, and then he hurriedly came from afar on his sword and explained the situation to Elder Ge.
"...In short, I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice of thunder magic, and I have not found the corresponding classics in the Sutra Library, so I want to come to the Treasure Dividing Rock to see if there are any auxiliary secret treasures. Master has also approved this matter."
"Fenbao Rock?" Elder Ge had no doubt about what he had said, "Master Ziwei had approved it." He just subconsciously recalled the storage in the warehouse.
Unfortunately, most of the magic weapons he knew were offensive ones, followed by defensive ones.
Elder Ge really didn't know about this kind of magical weapon that could assist in cultivation... In other words, he couldn't say it existed, nor could he say it didn't exist.
"How long does Chang Geng plan to stay in there?" He asked another question for the sake of caution.
"It's hard to say. Senior, why don't you go back and lock me in." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "Come and pick me up tomorrow."
"How can that be possible?" Elder Ge shook his head. "How about this? I'll leave a hole in the magic circle that seals the Fenbao Rock. When you find it later, just come out and the magic circle will automatically close."
What he meant was that he was not worried at all that Qiu Changtian would take a large amount of treasure from Fenbao Rock.
First, Elder Chang Geng is the successor to the headmaster. No matter what kind of secret treasure he wants, headmaster Ziwei will probably approve it. There is no need to use this method to deceive him.
Second, no matter how many treasures he took away, when Elder Ge came back the next day, he would only need to count the inventory to find out, and there would be no need to worry about being deceived.
Thirdly, of course, drinking tea is the most important!
Qiu Changtian pretended to be embarrassed, but finally nodded.
He wandered between the shelves, identifying the information about the secret treasures on them one by one.
Elder Ge originally wanted to accompany him in his treasure hunt and explain the specific information at the same time, but after all, it was almost the afternoon, and he no longer had much patience.
When the time came, he said something to Qiu Changtian and left silently with his hands behind his back.
Qiu Changtian nodded in agreement, and then continued to wander around in Fenbao Rock, as if he was really here to look for "some specific secret treasure."
Several times along the way, we passed by the secret door - the door was blocked by a row of shelves. According to Ajing's scan, it should have never been opened for hundreds of thousands of years.
But Qiu Changtian was not in a hurry to go in, but continued to wander around, in case Elder Ge changed his mind halfway and came back to cause trouble.
He waited until the middle of the night, guessing that Elder Ge was probably meditating in the cave, Qiu Changtian finally pulled himself together and came to the secret door.
After scanning and confirming that there were no mechanisms or restrictions on the shelves in front of the secret door, he began to move the shelves.
This shelf is made of stone and appears to be connected to the ground, but in fact it is just stuck to the ground because it has been placed there for too long.
Qiu Changtian used the Su Ming sword to cut the adhesion, and then carefully moved it aside.
Then he stood in front of the secret door.
Force it open? Or find a normal way to open the door?
"From my perspective, since Immortal Chisong left the Tianmen Palace Secret Realm and left the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone in the Secret Realm, it is impossible that he did not take precautions." Qiu Changtian pondered, "Perhaps as soon as I entered the Secret Realm, some kind of restriction was activated, which notified Immortal Chisong while restraining me."
"In that case, there's no point in protecting this secret door."
He pressed his palm on the wall and activated the Five Elements Divine Light. Soon, a large hole for passage was melted out on the wall, as well as a passage behind it.
Qiu Changtian stepped into the passage, changed his mind, and turned back to move the shelf to a distant place to block the entrance.
Afterwards, he once again used the Five Elements Divine Light to glue the melted wall back together with the Earth Element.
Although the wall has been repaired, it is obvious that the patterns, carvings, etc. on it must be completely different from the surrounding walls, and flaws will definitely be revealed upon closer inspection.
Fortunately, the repaired wall itself is hidden by the shelves, so unless someone stares at the shelves, it should not be noticed.
"Speaking of which," Kunlun Mirror suddenly asked, "after you get the fragment of the Bu Tian Stone, how do you plan to leave?"
"How else can I leave?" Qiu Changtian was puzzled. "Reload the save file, then delete the account. There will be no Qiu Changtian in the world anymore."
Kunlun Mirror: ...
She really wanted to ask, "Are you doing this to Junior Sister Xu?", but when she thought that she was the one who caused this outcome, she was unable to say anything.
If I hadn't forced him to collect the Sky-Buying Stones, would he have used a small account to infiltrate the major sects?
Naturally, she would not have had a relationship with Xu Yinglian.
Alas, although he seems not to care, he is probably the one who suffers the most.
Kunlun Mirror thought so at first, and then quickly comforted himself:
"It's okay. I've already given Junior Sister Xu a hint."
"I will not let Guanshui sacrifice himself to repair the sky, and I will not shed tears and bear the pain to end this relationship! No!"
"This is the moral bottom line of my Kunlun Mirror!"
Qiu Changtian was walking in the passage, and from time to time he asked Kunlun Mirror, "Are the surrounding restrictions still normal?"
If Immortal Chisong has discovered this secret passage and tampered with it, then I would be courting death.
"Oh, oh." Kunlun Jing was a little absent-minded, and said after a while, "It's okay, it's exactly the same as the one in the secret realm, it should have not been discovered in the past hundreds of thousands of years."
"Why are you so absent-minded?" Qiu Changtian said dissatisfiedly, "Wake up! Ah Jing, you are my assistant now, how can you be distracted in the middle of a battle!"
"It's the Phantom Thief Guanshui, right, Master Sword Master." Su Mingjian reminded, "Changtian is almost gone."
"Yes, Phantom Thief Guanshui." Qiu Changtian quickly switched back to his real name, "Scan the surroundings for me at all times! If there is anything unusual, remind me in time!"
"Hmmmm." Kunlun Jing also knew that this was not the time to be sentimental, so he quickly turned his attention to his surroundings.
In this way, Qiu Changtian gradually walked through the passage, and in front of him was the exit of the tree tumor.
