Lin Xuan watched as the six people rushed into the treasure room. Some pounced towards the Spirit Stones on the ground, and the others greedily grabbed the Spirit Tools on the weapon rack. They all looked very satisfied. However, the situation soon changed. A gust of wind blew by, and the stone house full of treasures disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an empty wilderness, the sky was dark, and countless Yin Ghosts and Malicious Ghosts wandered nearby.
“This…” The six people were stunned, and their faces all showed bewilderment.
“Eldest Brother!”
“Not good, it’s a Formation! And we’re in the middle of it, the treasures we saw were just for bait, this treasure room is a trap!” The old man who was the leader amongst them finally understood, his complexion turned pale.
“What should we do now?”
However, there was no time for discussion, and the Formation had already activated, Yin Ghosts and Malicious Ghost rushed over, and the six people could only bring out their Spirit Tools and fight desperately.
…
Lin Xuan walked out of the dark, and he could see the scene before him clearly, but there was no expression of surprise on his face.
The Treasure Room?
The Sky Fiend Demon Lord was not an idiot. On the contrary, this old monster was the most scheming person that Lin Xuan has ever encountered.
He would stack all the treasures together, and then mark them as the treasure room. Wasn’t that stupid thing obviously telling other cultivators to come and steal?
So since the beginning, Lin Xuan didn’t plan to go in. It was a trap in all likelihood.
Especially after seeing the Restriction outside the treasure room, Lin Xuan was even more certain. Originally, it should’ve been quite obvious, but there are always people who are blinded by greed, and the six fools in front of him just plunged right into it!
Lin Xuan was silent for a while, neither leaving nor taking any action, he just stood in front of the Treasure Room.
After a while.
A few screams came into his ear. Although the strength of the Six Heroes of the Northern Gobi Desert was not weak and every one of them was a successful cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Formation in front of him was also extremely powerful. After only lasting for a short time, their blood splattered everywhere.
After those people fell, the illusion also disappeared, and the stone house was restored to its previous state. The ground was full of Spirit Stones and Spirit Tools. The Magic Artifact and pills were all placed on the shelf in the center of the room.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan’s face flashed with a pondering expression.
Obviously, this was a big trap arranged by the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, so there was no doubt that there were no treasures inside.
If he was someone else, he would’ve definitely left, and the fools would have sacrificed their lives for nothing.
But Lin Xuan had a different idea. The Formation in front of him was amazing, so obviously, instead of using an Array Talisman, a higher-level thing like the array plate and formation flag was used.
In other words, this Formation could be recycled and used multiple times.
In the Cultivation World, Formation Masters were even rarer than Alchemists, and the spread of Array Talismans was quite rare, let alone the use of array plates and formation flags.
Lin Xuan has visited many shops and has never found any array equipment. This set of ready-made equipment in front of him is really hard to let go of.
Of course, it would cost a lot of time to collect it, but Lin Xuan felt that the hard work is worth it.
He called out Lin Yue’er once again.
…
After half a month.
A thrilling ray of light flew out, and as light scattered, Lin Xuan looked back at the pavilion floating in the air. He then freely controlled the Flying Sword.
It flashed with a dazzling Sword-light, smashing the pavilion apart, and the last secret Cave Mansion of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was destroyed.
Looking at the dust floating everywhere, Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, he then turned into a beam of light, and disappeared into the horizon.
This time his harvest was really not small.
In addition to Heavenly Dust Pill, he also obtained the remains of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s Cave Mansion.
Just the Profound Demon Scripture and Spirit Beast Egg were priceless, as they were all items that couldn’t be bought with Spirit Stone.
And the formation array in the fake treasure room was also no trivial matter.
Even in the absence of someone presiding over the formation array, while he and Lin Yue’er joined forces. It actually took a full half a month to get rid of it.
In addition to the array plate, formation flag, and other equipment, Lin Xuan also found a Jade Slip which introduced this formation array.
It was called the Extreme Yin Spirit Array!
Lin Xuan has never heard of this name before, but according to Jade slip, the formation array’s power ws endless, even an expert of the Core Formation Initial Stage would have a hard time getting rid of it if he were trapped in it.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Isn’t that comparable to some medium-sized sects?
One should be aware that the formations of Sects were extremely complicated, and require several or even dozens of cultivators to work together.
And this Extreme Yin Spirit Array could be hosted by one person. Although the power was similar, it was actually more advanced.
It could play a huge role by arranging it around his Cave Mansion or trapping his enemies in it.
Lin Xuan was full of joy and flew towards Spirit Pill Mountain, but what he didn’t know was that the other party was extremely depressed.
After coming back to Blue Cloud Mountain, from thousands of miles away, Taibai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qin immediately came to a Cave Mansion in the back of the mountain.
The Spiritual Qi around this Cave Mansion was a few times more abundant than that of other places.
As Core Formation Stage Experts, Taibai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qin were extremely respected. However, when they came here, they both looked cautious and did not dare spread their Spiritual Sense.
Taibai Sword Immortal took out a sound transmission note, his lips opened slightly, and whispered a few words. Then he waved his hand and the sound transmission note flew into Cave Mansion.
After a while, the white fog in front of them spread out, revealing a path.
The two looked at each other and walked in.
This was the forbidden area of Blue Cloud Mountain, one of the three giants of You Prefecture. Even if it was a Sect Master, if there was no urgent matter, he couldn’t trespass here.
The reason why Blue Cloud Mountain was able to become the first among the Big Three, was because of their two Nascent Soul Stage Grand Elders.
This Cave Mansion was the place where the two old monsters resided.
In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, Nascent Soul Stage experts were unreachable. They could move mountains and fill the seas. Once they had reached their current cultivation base, they rarely cared about mundane affairs, unless it was related to the rise and fall of the Sect.
