"Oh, so you're Su Chun, the one who easily defeated Liang Xingcheng. You're truly extraordinary, managing to enter this place before us. If we were still within the sect, I would love to see your skills, Junior Sister. However, I have a mission to complete during this trip to Lingyuan Blessed Land. Let's talk again when we have time. Farewell."

After saying this, Wang Youlan turned and left, showing no intention of helping Su Chun out of the predicament.

"Hey? Why are you leaving so suddenly? Help me out of this predicament."

Su Chun quickly called out.

However, Wang Youlan's voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, drifted in from outside the main hall.

"That won't do. On this trip to Lingyuan Blessed Land, your fellow disciples are also your competitors. If you hadn't been surrounded by the Gold-Eating Bees, those people would probably have attacked you right away."

These words made Su Chun roll her eyes.

She thought to herself, "She's taking the blame for someone else. I should have waited."

Now that she's surrounded by these gold-devouring bees, she definitely won't be able to escape unless she uses some other trump cards.

She waited a while, and after confirming that no one else would come in, she activated a fire-attribute talisman.

A large number of firebirds flew out of the talisman and began to attack the gold-devouring bees.

With their sheer number and strength, these gold-devouring bees could easily kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages without any protective treasures. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the mid-to-late stages, if entangled by them and unable to escape for a long time, would ultimately perish.

The Gold-Eating Bee is a strange insect that can corrode metal-type treasures. A swarm of first-tier Gold-Eating Bees can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What they fear most is fire-attribute power.

If you have a powerful fire-attribute treasure, even if you can't kill them, you can at least restrain them.

These firebirds dispersed and surrounded the gold-devouring bees.

Su Chun immediately flew towards the Xuanhuang Tree, wanting to pick the Xuanhuang Fruit.

But just then, one of the disciples from the seven sects who had rushed over from outside finally broke in.

They were all in a hurry, after all, eight people had rushed into this place before them and then left very quickly.

Then, upon entering, he saw Su Chun picking Xuanhuang fruit and launched an attack on her without hesitation.

"stop."

The top disciple of the Heavenly Blade Hall, from a distance of more than ten meters, slashed at Su Chun's back with his sword.

This strike, with its blood splattering everywhere, was clearly intended to kill Su Chun.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by Su Chun's defensive magic weapon.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chun picked a Xuanhuang fruit and put it away.

More and more people came in, and Su Chun couldn't continue picking the other three in front of so many people.

"People from the Xuan Yue Sect? Your Xuan Yue Sect is truly insidious, you even have hidden tricks up your sleeves."

The cultivators from the other six sects couldn't help but criticize the Xuan Yue Sect cultivators after seeing Su Chun's attire.

The disciples of the Xuan Yue Sect also recognized Su Chun.

But they were also innocent; Su Chun wasn't with them.

"Junior Sister Su, impressive skills! You actually managed to enter this place before us and even obtained a Xuanhuang Fruit. May I ask who those people who came in with you just now were? Did they take all seven Xuanhuang Fruits?"

A Qi Refining Stage 13 cultivator from the Xuan Yue Sect asked a question politely.

That's quite interesting. It seems these people didn't know who those people were.

Since they didn't know, Su Chun didn't need to explain anything.

"They are the hidden powerhouses of our seven sects. When I first came in, I was trapped by the Gold-Eating Bees, and they took the opportunity to steal the fruit."

Su Chun addressed the crowd.

It was only after Su Chun reminded them that everyone noticed the Gold-Eating Bees.

"Gold-devouring bees?"

They were so frightened that they quickly retreated to the front door.

They had no confidence in escaping once the gold-devouring bees attacked them.

"Alright, as I said before, it's all about skill. Now that I've got this Xuanhuang Fruit, that's my skill. I have to go. You can fight over the remaining two yourselves."

As Su Chun spoke, she flew towards the gate.

However, apart from the Xuan Yue Sect, the other six sects certainly wouldn't want Su Chun to leave.

They didn't know Su Chun's background; they only saw that Su Chun was only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and they didn't think Su Chun was qualified to compete with them.

"Want to leave? Leave behind the Xuanhuang Fruit."

The powerful figures from the six factions immediately tried to intercept Su Chun.

However, Su Chun suddenly controlled the Firebird Talisman, abandoning the encirclement of the Gold-Eating Bees, and attacked the disciples of the Six Sects.

Once the gold-devouring bees were freed from the protective talismans, they immediately attacked everyone in the inner hall.

"not good."

The seven sect cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately abandoned their attack on Su Chun to deal with the firebird and the gold-devouring bee.

Su Chun originally intended to leave them two, but seeing how uncooperative they were, she simply turned around and picked the remaining two, leaving only the Xuanhuang Tree.

"I was going to leave you two, but since you're so impolite, I'll take them all. Goodbye."

While they were entangled by the firebirds and gold-devouring bees, Su Chun escaped.

Su Chun snatched three of the Xuanhuang Fruits by himself, and even the disciples of the Xuan Yue Sect couldn't resist the temptation.

"Leave the Xuanhuang Fruit behind."

Several cultivators at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining activated their magical treasures, broke through the encirclement of the firebirds and gold-devouring bees, and gave chase.

But as soon as they came out, a shower of ice needles rained down, blocking them at the gate.

As for Su Chun, she has disappeared without a trace.

The disciples of the seven sects were furious that the Xuanhuang Fruit had been taken away, but they were helpless and could only leave the place first.

“You Xuan Yue Sect, you're a sect that took four Xuanhuang Fruits, aren't you afraid of overeating?”

"We've already said that Su Chun isn't with us, and as for the hidden disciples of our seven sects that he mentioned, they're not with us either. Don't you yourselves also have powerful disciples hidden in the shadows?"

The disciples of the Xuan Yue Sect started arguing as soon as they left the main hall, along with cultivators from the other six sects.

Looking again, many of the rogue cultivators and the disciples of the seven sects who were restrained have already been torn to pieces by the demonic beasts.

What they didn't notice was that Su Chun returned after they left.

She concealed her identity and returned to the grand hall.

Having lost their target, the gold-devouring bees retreated back to their nest.

"Tch! A bunch of ignorant fools. The best treasure is right in front of them, yet no one notices it."

Su Chun used a powerful Qi-enhancing artifact to completely conceal his figure and aura.

Her gaze locked onto the hive of the gold-devouring bees.

Those Qi Refining cultivators might not have the means to contain the Gold Devouring Beehive, but Su Chun happens to possess such a treasure.

A hollowed-out ice bead appeared in her hand.

This is an ice-attribute magic weapon for trapping enemies, called the Moon Imprisoning Pearl, which is perfect for dealing with the Gold-Eating Bees.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Gold-Eating Bees hadn't noticed her, Su Chun decisively summoned the Imprisoning Moon Pearl and enveloped the Gold-Eating Bee hive.

The cold air quickly froze the beehive, freezing even the gold-devouring bees inside.

However, after using this treasure, Su Chun immediately became weak.

Because this Moon Imprisoning Pearl is a low-grade magic treasure, not a magic tool.

Magic treasures are artifacts crafted by cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above, and their power is far greater than that of magic weapons.

Normally only Foundation Establishment cultivators have enough power to use magic weapons, but Su Chun's magic power is several times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, so he can barely use it once.

With the Gold-Eating Bees gone from the main hall, there was no danger. Su Chun didn't plan to leave immediately. Instead, she took some pills to restore her strength and meditated in a corner.

I plan to leave here after I've recovered my condition.

As for where those hidden experts from the seven sects went, Su Chun had already guessed.

Chapter 24 Unexpected Gains

Within this blessed land of Lingyuan, there is a place that has yet to be fully conquered.

This place is called Lingyuan Treasure Vault, which is said to be the place where the ancient great master Lingyuan stored his treasures.

There are extremely powerful restrictions and array defenses over there.

Furthermore, cultivators above the Qi Refining level are strictly prohibited from entering, and some say that it contains the legacy of Master Lingyuan.

Every Qi Refining cultivator who enters can randomly obtain a treasure from the treasure vault if they pass the test.

It might be a cultivation technique, or it might be some rare and precious material that even Nascent Soul cultivators would covet.

Of the seven sects today, five were formed because they obtained valuable treasures from the treasury back then.

For example, the Imperial Sword Sect. A disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect obtained a powerful and top-grade magic weapon in the treasure vault. This magic weapon also came with a set of sword techniques, and the Imperial Sword Sect rose to prominence from then on.

Magical artifacts are divided into four categories: ordinary magical artifacts, ancient artifacts, natal magical artifacts, and heaven-reaching spiritual artifacts.

Ordinary magic weapons are crafted by cultivators, while high-grade magic weapons correspond to the power of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Ancient treasures are the same. As for natal magic weapons, it depends on the individual's cultivation level and the materials used in their crafting.

The Tongtian Lingbao is a rare treasure.

But once it appears, not only Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but even Deity Transformation stage cultivators will try to snatch it.

The area where the Xuanhuang Fruit was located quickly fell silent after the fruit was divided up, leaving only the corpses of cultivators and demon beasts scattered on the ground.

The surviving cultivators have all left; the opportunities here are gone.

As for the storage treasures left behind by the cultivators, as well as the corpses of demonic beasts, Su Chun collected them all that he came across after leaving the main hall.

The treasures on cultivators of this level, as well as the corpses of demonic beasts, are far more useful to Su Chun than items from cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above.

Su Chun was torn between going to the treasure vault or not.
