Several martial artists nodded in agreement. Lin Feng sneered inwardly; they were truly naive. This place was an ancient relic, said to have once been inhabited by immortals, and it was vast indeed. However, to think that it was filled with treasures was foolish; beneath the surface lurked all sorts of creatures, and even more terrifying things.
His keen hearing allowed him to sense the situation below without needing to look. Just then, the ground ahead suddenly cracked open, and a worm over thirty meters long burst forth.
"Retreat!"
Many people hurriedly fled in different directions, eager to seek their own fortunes. Lin Feng did not back away; he spent a full half an incense stick's time eliminating the massive worm.
"Young Master Chen, it's taken care of. Let's continue," Lin Feng said to Chen Anlin.
"Well done," Chen Anlin replied with an approving glance.
Lin Feng smirked slightly, thinking to himself, If I hadn't done this, how could I earn your trust?
The group moved forward. Shen Congfeng and Zhao Lin walked together when suddenly, beneath a piece of crumbling stone, a blood-red flower caught Shen Congfeng's eye.
He felt a surge of excitement and attempted to pick it immediately. But just as his hand reached out, a strange aura surged toward him.
Chen Anlin extended his hand and plucked the blood-colored flower away.
"What do you mean by this, Young Master Chen?" Shen Congfeng glared at him in fury as the precious flower was snatched from his grasp.
Chen Anlin replied coolly, "I found it first. What’s wrong, Shen Congfeng? Last time you almost had your treasure destroyed by me, and now you want to challenge me again?"
"You..."
Shen Congfeng gritted his teeth, wanting to explode in anger but knowing he was no match for Chen Anlin. He could only huff coldly, "If I can't provoke you, I can at least avoid you."
Lin Feng followed behind Chen Anlin and scoffed quietly, "As expected of someone who bullies others with power; even treasures are taken by force. But that's fine; keep stealing. The more you take, the better for me—eventually, everything you have will belong to me."
"Lin Feng, let’s keep moving," Chen Anlin instructed.
"Yes!" Lin Feng replied respectfully as they continued onward.
For the next two days, Chen Anlin continued to plunder treasures from numerous individuals. During this time, only Lin Feng and his fellow clansmen from the Lin family, along with Hao Juan and a few others, followed Chen Anlin.
They arrived at a massive abandoned palace where an ancient medicinal furnace stood. The furnace still emitted a faint scent of herbs.
Inside, there were actually elixirs. Thanks to the alchemical furnace, the elixirs retained their peak potency. No one knew exactly what kind of medicine it was, but as soon as they approached the furnace, the elixirs seemed to want to fly out on their own. Fortunately, the lid of the furnace was closed in time, preventing the elixirs from escaping.
In the great hall, a group of people stood on edge, vigilantly watching their surroundings. This was definitely a celestial elixir; if they could obtain it, they might even become immortals! Perhaps this was the legendary seed of immortality.
What? The seed of immortality must be obtained! Some people were breathing heavily with excitement. To acquire the seed of immortality meant that as long as one mastered the breathing techniques, they could cultivate and become an immortal.
"Everyone, I am Shen Congfeng. Please do me a favor and let me have this elixir. Afterward, everyone here can come to my Shen family to receive benefits," Shen Congfeng said, his gaze fixed intensely on the alchemical furnace.
"Hahaha, Shen Congfeng, others may fear you, but I do not," a figure in black robes stepped forward, disdain evident on his face.
Shen Congfeng frowned. "Who are you?"
Boom!!
Without answering, the man unleashed his aura.
Third Rank!!
The crowd raised their eyebrows; a Third Rank expert had infiltrated their midst. It seemed they would have to rely on their own abilities now.
Zhao Lin's eyes sparkled as she spoke. Although she had collaborated with Shen Congfeng, facing such a treasure made it hard for her to remain calm. Their previous alliance plan was now precariously close to collapse.
"Hmph, let’s see who can outdo whom!" One by one, people either drew their swords or prepared themselves, keeping a wary eye on their surroundings.
At that moment, Chen Anlin and Lin Feng arrived and couldn't help but smile. No wonder Bai Yu Xianzi had been urging him to come here; it turned out they had stumbled upon something good.
"Not bad at all; we didn’t arrive too late," Chen Anlin said with a grin.
Zhao Lin furrowed her brows, not expecting that Chen Anlin would show up. This was going to be a bit tricky. However, as her mind raced, she deliberately called out, "The strongest here must be Chen Anlin, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Soon after, all eyes turned toward Chen Anlin.
Shen Congfeng, who had fought against Chen Anlin before, knew well how formidable he was. He said, "Chen Anlin, the treasure that’s coming is probably not related to you."
According to the laws of the Great Zhou, anything unearthed from the ground belonged to the state. "What? Are you all trying to go against His Majesty?"
Chen Anlin shook his head and sighed. "Enough, enough. You all step back now; I’ll handle this matter. Don’t worry, I will remember your kindness and reward you later."
Reward later? A group of people sneered at him. It seemed he was dreaming.
When there were no treasures in sight, everyone treated him like a person of importance. But faced with such a precious item, who would take him seriously?
The man in black who had spoken earlier stepped forward and said coolly, "In my opinion, we should eliminate Chen Anlin first; it would benefit us all."
"I agree. This person deserves to die," another voice chimed in.
"Let’s just kill him." One added with disdain. "I’ve been irritated by him for a long time; he flaunts his power as if he’s untouchable just because he’s a lackey of the Empress. He has no idea how many experts are out there."
"Heh, Chen Anlin, it seems you've incurred the wrath of the masses. Let’s see how you die now," Lin Feng sneered from behind.
"You rebels are truly courting death," Chen Anlin retorted coldly.
He had learned from Bai Yu Xianzi that this treasure was not an immortal seed. However, its importance was no less than that of an immortal seed!
Therefore, he had to obtain it at all costs. Anyone who stood in his way would die!
