Following the information left by the middle-aged man, Jiang Wuyuan successfully found the secret room he mentioned.
Large and small blood crystals were neatly arranged in a corner of the secret room; a rough count suggested there were at least several hundred.
In the opposite corner, there are several pieces of ore as tall as an adult.
Jiang Wuyuan took a closer look and found that they were six pieces of third-grade refined iron.
"I'm going to make a fortune!" Jiang Wuyuan thought to himself.
On the round platform in the very center of the secret chamber, there was a piece of jade that had been broken.
Jiang Wuyuan saw it as soon as he entered, but since the jade was broken, he didn't pay much attention to it.
The sword spirit, however, paid quite a bit of attention to it: [Little Abyss, this is a good thing.]
Jiang Wuyuan only noticed what the sword spirit said after storing the blood crystal and refined iron in the space ring where the sword spirit resided.
He turned his gaze to the crystal-clear stone that had been broken into several pieces.
[Teacher, what is this?]
The sword spirit replied, "[Boundary Stone, an extremely rare mineral. After an array is carved into it, it can form a spatial shield that isolates the outside world.]"
It seems that this is the treasure left to humankind by the gods depicted in the mural.
Unfortunately, the alien race still discovered this place and broke through the spatial barrier.
With the spatial shield shattered, the boundary stone naturally shattered as well.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan felt somewhat disappointed.
[So it's useless now?]
The sword spirit smiled. "Then you underestimate it. Although the Boundary Stone is shattered, it is still a treasure of the spatial element."
In this world, time reigns supreme, and space is king. No treasure that is connected to either of these two is useless.
You should know that rare crystals can be socketed into weapons, right?
Jiang Wuyuan nodded. [I know. But we need to find a crafting master who can awaken a similar talent.]
"[Embeddee into your weapon; when used, it has a chance to cleave through space.]" the sword spirit said leisurely.
Jiang Wuyuan's pupils contracted upon hearing this.
If that's true, then the boundary stone is indeed a priceless treasure that draws people to it.
[Put it away for now. Craftsmen are hard to find, no need to rush.]
[Yes, teacher.] Jiang Wuyuan gently put the boundary stones into his spatial ring.
After thoroughly searching the secret room again and finding that nothing had been left behind, Jiang Wuyuan turned and left the secret room.
When he was counting his spoils, he discovered that among the blood crystals there was one fourth-tier blood crystal, two third-tier blood crystals, and several second-tier and first-tier blood crystals.
Second-tier and first-tier blood crystals can be sold for money.
The remaining three blood crystals should be enough for him to use until he breaks through to the Martial Master level.
This was truly a bumper harvest.
Back in the hall, seeing the room full of bones, Jiang Wuyuan frowned.
After thinking for a while, he took out a few tinderboxes from his backpack.
After burning the alien corpses one by one, Jiang Wuyuan walked all the way back to where he had first landed.
From then on, there were no more alien corpses in the entire cave.
Using his sword-controlling technique to leave the cave, Jiang Wuyuan moved a huge rock from a nearby spot.
With his current strength rating, moving this stone, which is five or six meters in diameter, is not too difficult.
Rest in peace.
Jiang Wuyuan silently recited in his heart.
Then they used stones to tightly block the hole.
Although the sudden appearance of a huge rock on the ice was somewhat suspicious, Jiang Wuyuan didn't have a better solution at the moment.
To avoid being tracked down by the token on his body, Jiang Wuyuan didn't linger and quickly left.
——
"Qiu Shaoqing, hand over the token in your hand, and I might spare your life." Xiao Cheng held a long spear in his hand, frowning as he looked at the young man opposite him. "You don't want to lose your life here, do you?"
The boy, called Qiu Shaoqing, bit his lip.
He was now on the verge of exhaustion and could only rack his brains to find a way to leave.
Xiao Cheng's combat strength was already stronger than his, and he also had several teammates with him, so his chances of fighting him head-on were almost zero.
It's also his fault for being impulsive; he got carried away when he saw Xiao Cheng get the token.
Qiu Shaoqing possesses a spatial ability similar to theft, which is why, despite his humble origins, he has risen to his current status as a prodigy thanks to this talent.
Now that the secret realm has opened, he finally managed to snag a spot, so naturally he wants to get the most generous reward.
Xiao Cheng is of noble status, so taking fewer rewards won't make a difference.
Doesn't he still have a family to support him?
Qiu Shaoqing harbored resentment, but the situation was beyond his control.
He was no longer able to fight; if this dragged on any longer, things might really get out of control...
Just then, the approaching green dot on the map gave Qiu Shaoqing a glimmer of hope: "Wait! You all saw that too, right? There's a guy with a token coming this way. How about I snatch his token and give it to you?"
Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qiu Shaoqing was his classmate, so he naturally knew Qiu Shaoqing's character.
Although he never made any major mistakes, he did his fair share of petty theft and other shady dealings, and somehow managed to get away with them all thanks to his talent.
Xiao Cheng had no liking for this kind of person.
He was in a difficult position because this person had actually stolen from him.
The token was snatched right after the protective shield was broken. Xiao Cheng didn't stab him to death out of consideration for their classmate relationship.
“My team has three people in total.” Xiao Cheng wasn’t going to let him off the hook. “Including the one you’re holding, and the one that’s coming soon, we’re still missing a token. So we want both yours and his.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shaoqing knew that he no longer had time to delay.
