Yu Xian stood up from the Taishi chair, woke everyone up, told them the news brought by Qi Tingshan, and began to discuss the next plan.
Li Hanshan is still responsible for the eight thousand villagers. They only need to wait at the top of the mountain and wait for everyone to send a signal before deciding whether to go up the mountain.
As for the others, they will naturally go up the mountain together.
"It won't be too late."
As soon as Yu Xian made the decision, he looked at the pavilions on the top of the mountain and said, "Let's set off now."
"Find the teleportation array first, and then go to the Enlightenment Stone. If anything happens on the way, we will analyze it in detail at that time."
Naturally, everyone had no objections and followed Yu Xian towards the top of the mountain.
Minuo and Mi Gui walked at the front of the team, followed by Yu Xian, Nannan, Dan Chenyu, and Lao Wang walked behind these three people. Zhang Yi was responsible for holding the line at the end.
As soon as we reached the top of the mountain, a gust of cold wind blew over our heads.
This feeling is exactly the same as when everyone first entered the Heavenly Forbidden Formation.
However, this time their cultivation did not dissipate, they only felt a chill.
Not far away, a pavilion named Wanbao Tower appeared in front of everyone.
This is the first giant building they have seen since they climbed to the top of the mountain. The building is seven stories high.
The other places only have three floors at most, and more of them are retreat rooms used for cultivation.
Judging from the name, this should be a place that sells cultivation materials.
Since everyone has disappeared, wouldn't the things inside be...
Yu Xian instantly became excited!
Although the things here may not be useful to him, anyone who has played RPG (role playing) games will understand.
What's more exciting than going to someone else's house and opening a treasure chest?
"Wanbao Tower... maybe there are some clues in it."
When Mino heard this, he immediately changed direction and walked towards Wanbao Tower.
When everyone came to the door and Mino was about to push the door open, Yu Xian stopped her.
"Wait a minute."
The prison shirt has already flown in at this moment.
In order to avoid pitfalls, it is better to be careful.
After a few breaths, the prison shirt flew out from inside, with two words hanging above its head.
【unmanned.】
"You can go in."
"Yes, Master."
Mino responded and kicked the door open!
Yu Xian could see very clearly that the expression of Dan Chenyu beside him was obviously wrong.
At this moment, Zhang Yi's voice also came to my ears.
"This Wanbao Tower is the property of the Immortal Mansion. When the Saint broke through to the Nascent Soul, the owner of the Wanbao Tower donated five points of the proceeds to the Saint. This is known to the world."
Yu Xian's expression instantly became subtle.
There is some personal grudge involved in this kick...
"Ahem."
Yu Xian coughed twice: "Xiao Nuo, be quieter."
"Yes, Master."
Mino turned his head, responded obediently, and then walked in with Mi Gui.
Yu Xian and others followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the first floor, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Corpses were spread all over the ground.
Most of these people were wearing the clothes of Wanbao Tower, and there was no spiritual energy or demonic energy left on their bodies. They were obviously mortals during their lifetimes, and only a few of them were monks.
Judging from the destroyed showcases and the looted cultivation materials, this must have been a robbery incident.
Yu Xian turned to look at Dan Chenyu: "What is usually sold on this floor?"
Dan Chenyu shook his head, and Zhang Yi replied from the side: "Like this seven-story Wanbao building, the first floor usually sells basic spiritual fruits, top-level mortal weapons, and Qi refining period exercises.
"
"The second and third floors sell supplies for the foundation building stage, the fourth and fifth floors sell supplies for the elixir condensation stage, the sixth and seventh floors sell supplies for the Nascent Soul stage, the even-numbered floors are for elixirs, spiritual weapons, and materials, and the odd-numbered floors are for exercises and secret techniques.
.”
Sure enough, when this happens, both monks and mortals are thinking about the same thing.
Seize resources!
Mortals may be able to restrain themselves a little and maintain a certain sense, but monks are different.
Killing people to seize treasures has long been a common occurrence, but they are suppressed by people who are stronger than them and cannot attack them.
When everyone is on the same starting line, resources are the lifeblood!
Naturally, I will use all means to fight for it!
Yu Xian casually captured a ghost and used [Recollection] on it.
Unfortunately, it had been more than three days since his death, and [Recollection] did not work at all.
He had no choice but to frown and walk towards the second floor.
The second floor is also empty!
The scene is similar to the first floor, except that the people lying on the ground are all monks, but the realm is different.
Yu Xian climbed to the third floor again.
There are no corpses, and most of the skills and secrets are well preserved, with no trace of being robbed.
Most of the monks on the top of the Ten Thousand Mountains are building foundations, so naturally they don't like these techniques, so it's normal not to snatch them.
But when everyone climbed to the fourth floor, things were not so normal!
Everything was intact and there were no corpses.
Logically speaking, the materials of this Dan Condensing Stage should be more sought-after than those of the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage. Why are the things below empty, but the things here are still intact?
Yu Xian frowned slightly and said nothing, but turned to look at Dan Chenyu.
Now that everyone is in the elixir condensation stage, if we can get some materials from here...
"Take them all away."
Dan Chenyu took the initiative and said, "As one of the shareholders of Wanbao Tower, I can make this decision."
"OK!"
Yu Xian turned to look at Minuo: "Xiao Nuo, you collect usable materials here, and we will go up and take a look."
"Master, let's move together?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. We've been here for so long and there's still no movement, which proves that everyone here has left."
"Okay, young master, please be careful, I will be up soon."
"Um."
Yu Xian led everyone towards the fifth floor. Like the third floor, nothing here had been touched.
But the next six and seven floors are different.
Everything was taken away and there were no signs of a struggle.
These two floors store the most precious materials and techniques of Wanbao Tower. Maybe the owner of Wanbao Tower here reacted and fled with these things first.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a strange scene happened.
A fat, rice-colored mouse sprang out from a hole on the seventh floor, and rushed in front of Dan Chenyu, kowtowing repeatedly and holding hands in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears the size of mung beans!
"Squeak! Squeak!"
"Hey, has this rat become a spirit?"
Yu Xian squatted down, looked at the mouse in front of him and exclaimed: "Xiaoyu, why don't I catch it for you and let Lao Wang roast it, the meat is absolutely top-notch!"
Lao Wang didn't say anything, he just smiled slightly at the young master's compliment.
"Gudu~"
Before Dan Chenyu could speak, Nannan looked at Dan Chenyu expectantly: "Sister Xiaoyu, can we share half of it each?"
Dan Chenyu said nothing, but her eyes showed anticipation.
I haven't tried roasting mice yet.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The mouse screamed in surprise, but did not run away. Instead, he took out a Xumi ring from his arms, pushed his head in front of Dan Chenyu, and then quickly scratched a line of words on the floor with his claws.
[Holy Girl, I am Hui Qing, the owner of this branch of Wanbao Tower. I became my true form because of this formation. Please don’t eat me! 】
In an instant, Dan Chenyu and Nannan could only see loss in their eyes.
"Holy girl, Nannan, actually those villagers should still have some voles on hand. If you want to eat them, I will be responsible for roasting them after we come down from the mountain."
"Uncle Wang~"
Nannan looked at Lao Wang with nothing but admiration in her eyes: "You are so kind!"
"Thank you." Dan Chenyu also replied from the side.
She knelt down and picked up the Sumeru Ring. After a brief inspection, she looked at the mouse. "So, you should know what exactly happened here, right?"
The fat mouse quickly scratched out the second line of words.
[Demon Lord! The Demon Lord has appeared! 】
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Yu Xian.
Yu Xian knew exactly who the mouse was talking about, but he still knelt down and tapped its head with his hand.
"Do you know me?"
The mouse raised his head, glanced at the man who said he wanted to eat him from the beginning, and then shook his head.
"What about this?"
As Yu Xian spoke, he pulled Wangchuan out from behind and inserted it in front of the mouse.
With the vision of the owner of Wanbao Tower, he should not be able to recognize the Demonic Sword Wangchuan.
It came forward and took a closer look, then scurried up to Dan Chenyu's side, holding her shoes and shivering.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Yu Xian's eyes.
Judging from its appearance, it seems that he has never seen the fellow villagers with his own eyes. The so-called Demon Lord is here, so it is probably just a guess...
