The Qi family's treasure trove is not located within the Qi family itself.
Instead, it was on a snow-capped mountain.
After two consecutive days on the snow-capped mountain, Sheng Ning looked up at Qi Wenyao, who was looking at a map and leading the way.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, we have been traveling for half an hour."
The snow-capped mountain wasn't high, and they had already circled it twice without seeing anything resembling a cave.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Sheng Ning plopped down on a rock next to her.
Seeing that she had stopped, Qi Wenyao quickly handed her the map.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, you are born intelligent. Look at this map. Am I too stupid to understand it, or is the map drawn incorrectly?"
The map made of animal hide was very thick and heavy.
Sheng Ning took the map, opened it, glanced at the routes shown, and frowned. "This map..."
"Right, right, you can't understand it either, can you?"
Before Sheng Ning could finish speaking, Qi Wenyao jumped up and down beside her, saying, "I knew the Qi family would go bankrupt long ago. How could my father possibly be hiding a treasure trove?"
"This map is not meant to guide us at all! My dad is so unethical; he actually gave us a fake map!"
The map was indeed drawn very simply, with only a few lines.
It's remarkable that Qi Wenyao could still read the map and bring her to this snow-capped mountain.
The snow-capped mountain is located among other snow-capped mountains. Because its altitude is only a hundred meters, it is particularly inconspicuous among the mountains.
It seems that just one avalanche could bury this mountain, and no one would be able to find it.
An unbelievable thought popped into Sheng Ning's mind. She lowered her head, grabbed a handful of snow, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, is it possible...?"
"Whatever the possibility, it's just my dad bluffing us. When we get back, I'm definitely going to confront him!"
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, it's almost noon. Shall we head back first?"
All around were snow-capped mountains, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Qi Wenyao frowned, a sudden feeling of unease rising within him.
Just as he was about to reach out and take the map from Sheng Ning's hand, a white figure slowly stood up.
!!
His eyes widened suddenly, and Qi Wenyao pointed behind Sheng Ning, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, behind you!"
Sheng Ning subconsciously turned around and saw a snowman made of snow, as tall as a three-story building, standing behind him.
The snowman's appearance is crude and was created entirely haphazardly.
However, the two glowing red stones on its head reminded Sheng Ning of the giant stone man she had encountered in the Demon Realm.
The moment the word "puppet" appeared in Sheng Ning's mind, he saw the snowman raise his hands and then throw a heavy punch at them.
"It's a puppet! What era are we living in? Why are people still making puppets?!"
Even though Qi Wenyao was over two hundred years old, this was the first time he had ever seen a puppet.
The snowman has no human presence whatsoever, yet it can hurt people. Isn't this being manipulated by someone behind the scenes?
Pulling Sheng Ning along as they flew on their swords, Qi Wenyao cursed under his breath, "How did this thing end up here?"
"Someone is lying in ambush?"
Sheng Ning stood on his sword, feeling the cold wind whistling past her ears. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Qi, we cannot leave."
Qi Wenyao's face contorted in a grimace. "Why? That's a puppet! A puppet controlled by someone behind the scenes!"
“Fellow Daoist Sheng, puppets have no life. Unless we find out who is behind this, we may very well die here today.”
Puppets, which haven't appeared in many years, have appeared in the northern region.
He had to go back and report this to his father immediately.
Just as Qi Wenyao was about to disregard Sheng Ning's words and fly directly to the Qi family with her.
Sheng Ning's words immediately made him stop his sword.
With trembling lips, Qi Wenyao said in a trembling voice, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, what did you just say? It's windy, I didn't hear you."
Sheng Ning patiently repeated what she had just said, "I said, the Qi family's treasure trove is that mountain."
Qi Wenyao did not lead the wrong way, and the route on the map was not marked incorrectly.
Master Qi was not the kind of person who would treat such a thing as a joke.
That's why that incredible idea flashed through her mind when she saw the map.
The Qi family indeed possesses a treasure trove.
Given the Qi family's wealth, their mansion simply couldn't contain the fortune that Master Qi had accumulated over a thousand years.
So Master Qi chose the most dangerous place—this snow-capped mountain range.
He hid all his wealth here, and over time, the Qi family's wealth grew.
Gradually, that wealth accumulated into a small mountain.
The reason they couldn't find any entrance on the mountain was because what they were standing on, covered in snow, was the very Qi family treasure trove they were looking for.
After listening to Sheng Ning's analysis, Qi Wenyao's expression was beyond shock.
His lips trembled more and more violently. Sheng Ning thought he was frightened, but then he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"So when my dad said back then that we were so poor we couldn't make ends meet and he could only give me 10,000 high-grade spirit stones a month, it was all a lie?!"
"Great! Once Mother recovers, I'm going to tell her all about how Father tortured and abused me!"
Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones per month.
To earn pocket money.
What an unpretentious...rich person.
Sheng Ning raised her hand and pinched her philtrum to keep herself from fainting.
Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones! If that were on the mainland, it could buy several small sects in one go.
Qi Wenyao earns 10,000 yuan a month for pocket money and claims that his father abuses him.
Is this the difference between people?
Sheng Ning recalled how she had been working herself to the bone refining elixirs lately, and how she had even refused Qi Wenyao's sponsorship...
She's so stupid.
real.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and just as Sheng Ning was about to ask him if he still wanted to go home, he saw him turn his longsword around.
"What's the point of going home? Damn it, Fellow Daoist Sheng, make sure you catch the mastermind behind the puppets. Let's catch him and stop him from coveting the Qi family's possessions!"
Without saying a word, he flew back to the snow mountain on his sword.
The snowman is large, and therefore relatively bulky.
Qi Wenyao had already flown far away, but then flew back, and Xue Ren chased them across two hilltops.
Watching the snowman grow bigger and bigger as it gets covered in snow.
Qi Wenyao first glanced at the small snow mountain that was not damaged in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately began to control his longsword.
As a sword cultivator, Qi Wenyao was naturally very skilled at sword control.
This was also the first time Sheng Ning had seen him fly on a sword.
Just when everyone thought he was about to rush up and fight the snowman to the death, they saw him make a hand seal, and the long sword that was standing beside him instantly transformed into thousands of swords that flew towards the snowman.
Because only Qingyou taught her swordsmanship, she only mastered one-tenth of the Flying Phoenix Sword technique.
This was not the outcome she desired. She wanted to be bigger and stronger, to protect everyone in the Invincible Sect.
Therefore, upon seeing Qi Wenyao unleash a barrage of ten thousand swords, she had a sudden thought, and the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword stood beside her.
