Just as everyone was about to give up, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out inside the cave.
"I found it!"
"I've found the totem!"
Fang Chong and Guan Yunchuan were still discussing how chaotic life was with a troublesome junior/senior brother.
Then I heard Xie Wenxuan's exclamation.
Fang Chong's expression hardened, and his fingers tightened around the longsword.
Frowning, he was about to walk towards the source of the sound when he silently put his foot down again. "Fellow Daoist Guan, I'll go over there first."
Guan Yunchuan also heard Xie Wenxuan's exclamation. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Together."
Xie Wenxuan has found the totem.
Upon hearing the exclamations, all the cultivators inside the cave rushed toward the source of the sound.
Fortunately, Fang Chong reacted quickly and came to Xie Wenxuan's side immediately.
Upon seeing his senior brother, the latter's already excited and dizzy mind turned completely red.
"Senior Brother, I've found the totem!"
Fang Chong wished he could cover his mouth and stop him from spreading it so widely.
After all, so many people are eyeing the totem, so Xie Wenxuan's good fortune in finding the totem has both advantages and disadvantages.
Human nature is unpredictable; who knows if there are any treacherous individuals among them?
Just like Qu Zhengqing...
But now that Xie Wenxuan has announced to everyone that he has found the totem, it will be no use covering his mouth anymore.
With a furrowed brow, Fang Chong stepped forward and pulled Xie Wenxuan aside, whispering, "Where did you find the totem? And how can you be sure it's definitely a totem?"
After entering the cave, he had already explored every part of it with his divine sense.
The Northern Region is rich in spiritual energy, not to mention the spiritual energy in the secret realm.
There were no other spiritual energy fluctuations in the entire cave, which shows just how deeply the totem was hidden.
How could Xie Wenxuan have found such a well-hidden totem?
It wasn't that Fang Chong didn't trust Xie Wenxuan, but rather that he feared there might be a trap involved.
Seeing his senior brother's serious expression, Xie Wenxuan pursed his lips and showed the 'totem' to the latter.
"If you don't believe me, look. This must be a totem. Not only is there spiritual energy fluctuation on it, but I can't understand what's written on it at all."
Xie Wenxuan was not good at his studies from a young age and could not read many characters.
Fang Chong was uncertain about his understanding that if someone couldn't understand the characters on the screen, it must be a totem.
Reaching out to take the 'totem,' Fang Chong's brows furrowed more and more as he examined the inscriptions on it.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Xie Wenxuan's face showed a hint of arrogance. "How about that? I told you it was a totem. Senior Brother, you probably don't recognize the characters on it either."
"Although I am foolish, my master said that fools are often blessed. I was lucky to find the totem."
Fang Chong really couldn't understand the writing on the 'totem'.
However, he still couldn't be sure that the thing in his hand was a totem.
There is no other reason.
It was simply because the paper in his hand was too thin.
Would such thin paper be used to make totems in ancient times?
Just as the two brothers were wondering about this.
Others also rushed over.
Faced with the series of chemical formulas on the 'totem', everyone fell silent.
"This...is this a totem?"
“The spiritual energy fluctuations above don’t seem very strong. Look at the tear marks on the totem. It must be that the totem needs to be collected to unleash its true power.”
"But isn't this totem a bit too thin? And Fellow Daoist Xie said he found the totem in a pile of dead wood, isn't that a bit too hasty?"
There are many treasures in the Northern Secret Realm.
It's quite rare to find a totem like the one in Xie Wenxuan's hand, which is so thin and doesn't have strong spiritual energy fluctuations.
Yu Ye stood behind Xie Wenxuan and clearly saw the words written on the 'totem'. He suddenly fell silent.
He took out a rolling talisman from his mustard seed bag, compared the characters on the rolling talisman with the characters on the 'totem', and instantly became even more silent.
Faced with so many people's doubts, Xie Wenxuan, who was in high spirits just a moment ago, immediately became embarrassed and angry.
He tucked the totem into his pocket, and when he looked up at the person beside him, a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
"It's your problem if you didn't find it; I found it because I was lucky."
"Since you suspect the totem I found is fake, then go find it yourselves!"
"Hmph! Sour grapes!"
Everyone: ......
After hearing Xie Wenxuan's remarks, Yu Ye raised his hand and touched his nose.
Finally, he looked around and suddenly asked, "Where's my junior sister? Where did she go?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, you were looking for me?"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Just as Yu finished thinking about his junior sister, he saw a figure in moon-white slowly walking towards him.
And there was Kongwu, dressed in a kasaya, following closely behind her. The relationship between the two seemed to have improved a lot compared to before.
Yu Ye looked wary and quickly stepped forward to pull his junior sister aside. "Junior sister, where have you been? Why are you still with Kong Wu?"
"Xie Wenxuan has found the totem. The task our master entrusted to us has failed."
Sheng Ning never expected that the person who would find the chemical formula she had left behind would be Xie Wenxuan.
She raised her eyebrows and then turned her head to look at the man who was looking at her with a smug expression.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Congratulations."
Upon receiving Sheng Ning's congratulations, Xie Wenxuan's face lit up with a broad smile. "Fellow Daoist Sheng, you're too kind. Didn't you just get a new spirit pet? Congratulations to you too."
