Not long after the two returned to Wuming Peak, Yuan Ran sent someone to deliver the martial arts news they requested.
Zhongli Tingzhou went out and brought back the military report.
"So many?" Gao Han heard him come back and saw that he was holding a thick stack in his hand.
"In addition to the military newspapers, there are also a bunch of so-called literary newspapers." Zhongli Tingzhou threw the stack of newspaper-like things onto the stone table.
Gao Han knew the difference between civil newspapers and military newspapers at a glance.
Wenbao actually contains some interesting daily trivia, or in Earth's terms, entertainment gossip.
The Martial News contains the rankings of the Heavenly Prodigies List, the Earthly Prodigies List, and the Spiritual Prodigies List, as well as some decisive battles between cultivators and some matters between sects and forces.
"What's so interesting about gossip? It's a complete waste of time." Zhongli Tingzhou threw the newspaper away.
Gao Han took it back and said, "Not necessarily. Sometimes, some fragmented information can be integrated into useful information."
Zhongli Tingzhou held up a copy of the Military Newspaper and said, "Yuan Ran also sent over last month's Military Newspaper."
He glanced at it and didn't read it again, picking up the military newspaper that was published in the past two days.
There were not many changes in the Spirit Ranking and the Earth Ranking. As he expected, his master firmly occupied the first place in the Spirit Ranking, which had not changed for many years.
Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes fell on the second place, "Your master is the second on the Spiritual Ranking, but he didn't even go to dismantle the Weapon Pavilion that ranked on this list."
"I guess he wanted to demolish it, but he didn't succeed because he was probably stopped by my master. If he had scared them and made them succumb to his power, wouldn't my master have become the second..."
Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly paused when he said this.
Gao Han understood with just one look, "I advise you not to tell anyone. Even if our master is in seclusion, if his consciousness is still outside, I won't be able to save you."
"I also have a master." Zhongli Tingzhou touched his nose.
"You think too highly of yourself." Gao Han bluntly exposed his fantasy, "Let me see the Wubao."
Zhongli Tingzhou threw it to him and said with a bored look: "Don't look at it, we are not the first or second place."
Of course, the first and second place were not Feng Xinxing and his friends. After all, they had just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Those ahead of them were all over a hundred years old, and one was even almost two hundred years old.
These people are geniuses, but they cannot be called prodigies. If they cannot make further breakthroughs, they will be overtaken by them sooner or later.
"There are many hidden talents in Lingtian Continent. There may be many powerful people in places we don't know about, but they are not included in the Tianjiao Ranking."
Gao Han memorized the names on several lists and had a general understanding of the level of the strong people in Lingtian Continent.
"Don't look at these anymore. Take out the box from the Xianquan space and see if there is anything we want."
Zhongli Tingzhou didn't waste any time and took out all the boxes directly.
He grabbed the most boxes among all the people, three of which were the boxes that shone the brightest at the time. The moment they fell back into the water, he put them into the storage space. Otherwise, even if Gao Han was pulling him, the two of them would probably have sunk directly.
There are also eight boxes with weaker light groups, and the patterns on them are relatively rough.
Gao Han picked up a box and rubbed it. "These boxes are indeed not made of ordinary materials. They feel cold and seem to be made of ore, but they are actually made of a tree that may be more than ten thousand years old. They should be an important material for refining immortal tools. The immortal world is really generous."
"Open it first and see what's inside. If you don't need it in the future, use it as material for refining equipment." Zhongli Tingzhou opened a box first.
A ray of light flashed by, and the contents of the box appeared in front of the two people.
A pile of green things, like a vine, lying inside.
"What is this?" Zhongli Tingzhou took out the vine.
The vine suddenly twisted, and the scene was very strange, but he was not scared. He held the vine steadily between his two fingers.
"It looks a bit like a fairy vine. It should be a material for refining weapons. The people in the fairy palace specially sealed it in a box. It should not be an ordinary material. Put it away first. I will check it out later to see what it is."
Gao Han opened the box in his hand after he finished speaking.
This box is smaller, only half the size of the one in Zhongli Tingzhou's hand.
After opening it, there was a strange stone lying inside, gray in color, and there was nothing special about it.
"Could it be that everyone in the Immortal Palace has a hobby of collecting strange things?" Zhongli Tingzhou guessed.
"Even if there is, it wouldn't be stored in a box like this. Moreover, this is one of the brightest boxes in the previous light group. This stone may have a great origin, but we don't know it."
As the fairy world was in trouble, the cultivators of Lingtian Continent could no longer contact the immortals in the fairy world, and many recorded books also disappeared.
It is almost impossible to find any records about things in the fairy world now.
"Let me try." Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly picked up the stone and threw it into the air. As he waved his hand, a sword light instantly struck the stone.
A surprising thing happened. The stone was not damaged at all. In fact, the sword light was blocked by a ray of light emitted from the stone before it could even get close to the stone.
"Interesting, it can automatically block my sword energy. Could it be that this stone has become a spirit?"
"If it has become a spirit, I'm afraid it has run away by now." Gao Han put the stone back into the box.
Zhongli Tingzhou continued to open the boxes. The second of the three best boxes contained a knife. He immediately handed it to Gao Han like a treasure.
"Look, finally there's a magical weapon that's worthy of you."
Gao Han was surprised that there was a knife in the box. "This knife looks like a half-destroyed knife."
There were several more pitted edges on the blade, and only half of the handle was left, without a trace of spiritual energy at all.
When Zhongli Tingzhou heard this, he was greatly disappointed and was about to throw away the knife.
"But that doesn't mean it's useless to me." Gao Han stopped him.
"Although this magic weapon is half-destroyed, since it is placed in this box, it must have been a very powerful magic weapon before it was destroyed. Maybe it can be used in the future."
Gao Han had already made up his mind and put the knife away.
"Don't let me down again with this." Zhongli Tingzhou picked up the last box.
This box is the one that almost took Gao Han to the bottom of Xianquan Lake during the last capture.
Just as Zhongli Tingzhou was about to open the lid, the box in his hand suddenly trembled violently, and he and Gao Han looked at each other.
"Alive?"
"What kind of living thing can survive for countless years in such a well-sealed box? It might be a vibration before the treasure is opened." Gao Han guessed, "But you still have to be careful. I'll set up another formation in the hut."
All the magic weapons that Gao Han used to set up the formation were destroyed by Wanxiandao. This time he used talismans to set up the formation, and it was fixed in a short while.
Zhongli Tingzhou then opened the box, and a golden light flashed and flew out in front of them.
The golden light hit Gao Han's talisman formation, which couldn't even block it for two seconds, and the golden light quickly rushed out of the hut.
The two ran out and saw golden light shooting into the air like a golden arrow. When it was about to be free, it was blocked by the barrier of Nameless Peak.
The entire barrier began to shake, more and more violently, even greater than the last time it was attacked by the purple lightning.
Just as the barrier of Nameless Peak seemed to be about to be broken, the barrier solidified again in an instant. Then a black light flew from the direction of the back mountain and grabbed the thing that was trying to break the barrier and escape.
"Master." Gao Han recognized the identity of the black shadow and shouted immediately.
When Tian Dao heard the voice of his disciple, he knew who got this thing and it fell from the sky.
Gao Han stepped forward quickly, "Thank you, Master."
"Is this the thing you got from Wanxiandao?" Tiandao was in seclusion when he suddenly sensed that the barrier was shaking and it seemed that it could not be resisted. Fortunately, he was not in seclusion.
"Yes, Uncle Zixiao said that Master is in seclusion. Disciple comes to pay his respects to Master." Gao Han didn't expect to lure Master out.
"It's okay. I didn't expect that you could get this thing. Did you get it in the Immortal Palace?" Tiandao was very interested in this thing and waved his hand as if it was okay.
"We got it in the Xianquan space. We didn't expect it to have such strong destructive power. The formation set up by our disciples was broken in an instant." Gao Han said ashamedly. If it weren't for the master's barrier, this thing would have probably escaped.
"It is normal for it to be broken. If I am not mistaken, this thing is very likely the Nihuang Bell rumored in the fairy world. It can be ranked in the top three on the fairy weapon list."
Tian Dao has never seen the Nihuang Bell, but judging from its appearance, it is somewhat similar to the ones he has heard of.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were surprised for a moment. Gao Han asked, "The Emperor-Defying Bell? Is it that powerful?"
"If it were at its peak, even my master's barrier wouldn't be able to stop it for half a breath. Tell me if it's powerful or not."
Gao Han took a deep breath and said, "If even Master's barrier can't stop it, how powerful he must be. I can't imagine it."
"It's true that it's hard to imagine. The Nihuang Bell disappeared after the great war among the immortals. I didn't expect it to have been hidden in the Immortal Palace. During these ten thousand years, someone has been looking for it. I'm afraid the Immortal Palace has been turned upside down. I didn't expect that you would get it in the end." Tian Dao couldn't help but sigh at the luck of the two.
"It was just luck. In fact, the Nihuang Bell was obtained thanks to Tingzhou. If it weren't for his insistence, we wouldn't have been able to get it."
"Uncle-master, what is the use of this Nihuang Bell? It runs away as soon as it leaves the box. Does it still have intelligence?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked.
Tian Dao investigated and found out that it has no intelligence. After the great war between the immortals, the sky collapsed and the spirits of many immortal weapons disappeared. I am not sure whether the Nihuang Bell had a spirit at the beginning, but it has none now. The Nihuang Bell is not an ordinary thing. After being locked up for so long, it must be an instinctive reaction for it to escape. And the Nihuang Bell will choose its own master."
"So it ran away because it thought we are not worthy of being its owners, right?" Zhongli Tingzhou had a very strange expression.
Tian Dao glanced at him and said deliberately: "Maybe."
