However, it turned out that Qin Feng was overthinking things. In addition to tens of thousands of spirit stones, Ling Xueyan's storage necklace only contained a little over a hundred spirit herbs.
Not even a single pill could be found.
Although Qin Feng was somewhat annoyed, he still kept his promise and only took half of the spirit stones and fifty spirit herbs.
After returning the storage necklace to Ling Xueyan, he checked Xia Wang's storage ring.
King Xia was even poorer, possessing only a little over a hundred medicinal herbs and a few low-grade pills.
In addition, there are some materials for refining weapons.
In the end, he only took fifty spiritual herbs and some refining materials before returning the storage ring to King Xia.
You guys are really poor!
Qin Feng looked on with disdain. These two people were both top experts, yet they only had so little wealth.
The Xia king remained calm and did not seem to care.
Ling Xueyan was so frustrated she felt like vomiting blood. She had been extorted out of two or three hundred thousand spirit stones by Qin Feng.
But now, Qin Feng is actually looking down on her for being poor?
How did she become poor? Wasn't it because this guy extorted her money?
"Let's go break the barrier!"
Ling Xueyan gave Qin Feng a cold look, then turned and fled towards the palace.
The Xia king followed closely behind.
Qin Feng looked back at the Heavenly Ladder in the clouds, his brows furrowing slightly.
Ling Xueyan's analysis just now is highly likely; there might really be many people on their way.
Therefore, he was still somewhat worried about the four women, Lan Qin, who were cultivating below the Heavenly Ladder.
However, considering the strength of the four women, he felt relieved.
Although the four women were not as strong as him, if they joined forces, few could rival them.
Upon arriving at the palace gate, Qin Feng's eyes gleamed as he examined the restrictions on the door.
Just as he had discovered before, the restriction was extremely strong, and even if he, King Xia, and Ling Xueyan joined forces, they might not be able to break it.
Qin Feng glanced at Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan, and then the three of them attacked the barrier together.
With a loud "boom," the ground within a one-kilometer radius shook, but the barrier remained completely undamaged.
Ling Xueyan glanced at Qin Feng and King Xia, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to hide our strength. We must go all out to have any chance of breaking the restriction."
Qin Feng and King Xia both nodded, and then the three of them attacked the barrier again.
Qin Feng unleashed the Qiankun Finger technique, while Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan also displayed powerful martial arts and magical abilities.
With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered instantly, and the palace gates opened automatically the next moment.
King Xia and Ling Xueyan were overjoyed and rushed into the palace without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Feng frowned slightly. The moment Ling Xueyan made her move, he had discerned the woman's skill level.
Peak Nascent Soul Realm!
Moreover, he is not just an ordinary peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; he is an absolute standout among those of the same realm.
There is only one way for him to defeat Ling Xueyan: summon the Dragon Cloud Sword and launch a surprise attack.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Cloud Sword is possessed by an evil spirit, and he can't summon it at all now.
However, it is unlikely that Ling Xueyan can defeat him. In a head-on battle, it is estimated that neither of them can do anything to the other.
Qin Feng strolled leisurely into the palace and happened to see King Xia and Ling Xueyan fighting over a white jade bottle.
Qin Feng looked at the white jade bottle, which was just an ordinary bottle for holding pills. He didn't know if there were any pills inside.
He had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to steal it; if he did, King Xia and Ling Xueyan might join forces against him.
He had no shortage of elixirs, so there was no need for him to take the risk.
Then, Qin Feng shifted his gaze from the jade bottle and began to survey the environment of the first floor of the palace.
The first floor of the palace is not very large, about two thousand square meters.
Apart from a wall cabinet, it was completely empty.
At this moment, both King Xia and Ling Xueyan stopped and looked at Qin Feng simultaneously.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't stop, keep hitting!"
Qin Feng pointed to the jade bottle and said jokingly, "Maybe there's an elixir of immortality inside!"
King Xia and Ling Xueyan exchanged a glance, but neither paid any attention to Qin Feng.
Then, Ling Xueyan stepped forward, picked up the jade bottle, and opened it to examine it.
Inside were two unidentified golden pills, each with ten pill patterns, indicating they were top-grade pills.
Ling Xueyan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly poured out the pills.
As soon as the pill landed in her palm, it turned into powder.
She was completely stunned. "How could this be?"
King Xia frowned slightly and guessed, "It's very likely that the jade bottle is too shoddy and can't be preserved for long!"
Ling Xueyan looked annoyed. "What kind of mess is this? If we had known it would turn out like this, why did we even fight?"
Qin Feng stopped Ling Xueyan with a half-smile. "You two are partners, you've signed a blood pact, how can you start a fight?"
Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan's expressions changed slightly. After glancing at Qin Feng, they rushed towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
"You actually wanted to scheme against me?"
Qin Feng pursed his lips. He had only just realized that King Xia and Ling Xueyan had signed a blood pact, which stipulated that they could not betray each other before leaving the Immortal Ruins.
Therefore, it can be inferred that Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan were just putting on an act, their purpose being to lure him into seizing the jade bottle so they could then launch a sneak attack on him together.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very interested in elixirs, otherwise he might have fallen into the trap set by King Xia and Ling Xueyan.
The second floor of the palace was completely empty.
The third, fourth... and seventh floors were also completely empty.
Qin Feng was alright; he had no expectations, so naturally he wasn't disappointed.
Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan were so frustrated they felt like vomiting blood. There were only two levels left. What if they still got nothing?
Soon, the three of them arrived at the eighth floor of the palace, and the result surprised and delighted them all.
The eighth floor has three large bookshelves, all piled high with dusty books.
Although I don't know what kind of books they are, this is a celestial abode, how could they be ordinary books?
Just as King Xia and Ling Xueyan were about to step forward to examine the books, Qin Feng made the first move.
Qin Feng moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had collected all the books on the three bookshelves into his storage ring.
King Xia and Ling Xueyan were both stunned for a moment, then their faces darkened and they flew into a rage.
Before they could even speak, Qin Feng slipped away to the stairs leading to the ninth floor and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
King Xia was so angry he almost vomited blood. "Damn brat, chase after him!"
Then, in the afternoon, Xia Wang and Ling Xueyan immediately gave chase.
Qin Feng was stunned when he reached the ninth floor.
Apart from the stone tablet and some characters on the wall that he couldn't understand, there was nothing else there.
Logically speaking, if there are so many books on the eighth floor, there should be some treasures on the ninth floor, right?
When King Xia and Ling Xueyan caught up and saw the situation on the ninth floor, they were equally stunned.
"Is this immortal's cave a fake?"
"How could this be? Wasn't it said that there would be an inheritance from immortals?"
Ling Xueyan's expression turned grim. She glared at Qin Feng and demanded, "Did you obtain the immortal's inheritance?"
