It was already very difficult for the Changsen Sect to maintain its operations. They were only relying on a single Spiritual Stone mine and a few other businesses in the Changsen Sect. Even the disciples of the Changsen Sect were extremely poor.
Even the true disciples did not have a Spiritual Weapon each. It was obvious that the Changsen Sect was in dire straits.
One had to know that 10,000 years ago, even the servants of the Changsen Sect used Spiritual Weapons. They would not even look at a Spiritual Weapon on the side of the road.
Nangong Xuan was naturally overjoyed to suddenly obtain such a large sum of wealth.
"Sect Leader, Grand Elder, isn't it just some Spiritual Stones and cultivation resources?
We don't even have a single Spiritual Crystal. Hehuan Sect and Demonic Palace are not much better off than beggars. Is there a need to be so excited? "
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and said.
"Ling Xiao, you don't know the value of resources until you're in charge!
Our Changsen Sect can't even take out a million high-grade Spiritual Stones. What do you think these resources mean to us?
It means that we can raise the cultivation of all the disciples of the Changsen Sect. How can I not be excited? "
Nangong Xuan laughed bitterly.
"Sect Leader, the Changsen Sect is in such a state. If our ancestors knew about this, they would jump out of their coffins and scold you!
Alright, alright, I know it's not easy for you. These are Yun Batian and Yin Kui's private stash. Take it as me being generous and giving it to the sect! "
Ling Xiao smiled and took out Yun Batian and Yin Kui's storage bags and threw them to Nangong Xuan.
Yun Batian and Yin Kui were both Evolved Jing masters and the Sect Leaders of their respective sects, so they had quite a lot of treasures. Ling Xiao took a quick look and found that the amount of spirit stones, spirit pellets, and weapons was even more than what the Head Elder had plundered from the two sects.
As expected, Nangong Xuan and the other elders were excited when they saw the items in the two storage bags.
"Saint, are you really not going to pick anything?
You've done a great job this time. Even if you take everything, the sect leader won't say anything!
But … he'll be heartbroken for a long time … Hahaha … "
Deng Tiande, that old fellow, seemed to have forgotten about the conflict between him and Ling Xiao. He also came forward with a smile.
"Forget it, these things are really useless to me. Eh, something's wrong …"
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said casually. However, when his gaze fell on a piece of black wood, his expression changed slightly.
Ling Xiao quickly walked over and picked up the piece of black wood.
The piece of black wood was only the size of a human head....................................
The reason why Ling Xiao had discovered this piece of black wood was because the Wordless Heavenly Book in his sea of consciousness had trembled slightly when he had scanned it with his mental strength.
............................................
..........................................
...................
I almost misjudged you! "
Ling Xiao was very excited. He recognized the origin of this piece of wood.
Ironwood was a type of spirit wood, and it was also a material for refining tools. It could be used to refine tools. A 100-year Ironwood could be used to refine spirit tools, a 1,000-year Ironwood could be used to refine treasures, and a 10,000-year Ironwood could even be used to refine Dao tools!
The piece of ironwood in Ling Xiao's hand was the core of a ten-thousand-year-old ironwood. It contained an incomparably pure wood-attribute spiritual energy. It could be considered a top-grade wood-attribute spiritual seed.
Ling Xiao had obtained another one of the five elements spiritual seeds. He was only left with the metal-attribute spiritual seed.
Ling Xiao put away the core of the ten-thousand-year-old ironwood without hesitation. He was in a good mood.
Nangong Xuan, the first elder, and the rest knew that Ling Xiao must have obtained a good treasure. However, they didn't ask.
"Today, since everyone is here, I have something to tell you!"
Ling Xiao's gaze flickered, and his expression became solemn.
"Do you know who left the cave abode in the spiritual stone mine?"
Cave abode?
The eyes of Nangong Xuan, the first elder, and the rest flashed. They already knew that Ling Xiao had entered the cave abode and obtained a fortuitous encounter. Now that they heard Ling Xiao's words, could it be that the cave abode had a significant history?
"Could it be left behind by a senior of our Changsen Sect?"
Nangong Xuan's eyes flashed. He seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"That's right!
It was left behind by a senior of our Changsen Sect. That senior had a significant history. He was the Sect Leader of the Changsen Sect 500 years ago, Sage Tianfeng! "
Ling Xiao said slowly.
"Sage Tianfeng?!
It's him? "
The Great Elder exclaimed, his eyes revealing a trace of shock.
He saw that Nangong Xuan and Deng Tiande were looking at him in confusion. Obviously, they had never heard of Sage Tianfeng's name.
"I also saw it in an ancient record. Sage Tianfeng was indeed the Sect Leader of the Changsen Sect 500 years ago. He was a peerless genius of his generation. He broke through to the Celestial Realm at the age of 30 and took over the Changsen Sect. At 40, he reached Level 9 of the Celestial Realm and was only a hair's breadth away from the Noble Realm. Moreover, his martial arts were earth-shattering. Under his leadership, the Changsen Sect was on the road to prosperity 500 years ago!
However, later on, the Changsen Sect seemed to have provoked a strong enemy and met with a calamity. The entire Changsen Sect was almost annihilated. It was said that Sage Tianfeng had fallen as well!
I didn't expect him to leave a cave abode in the spiritual stone mine! "
The first elder said with a sigh.
"A 30-year-old Celestial Realm warrior?
Indeed, he can be considered a peerless genius! "
Ling Xiao nodded. After becoming one with the world and entering the Celestial Realm, not only would one's cultivation be unparalleled, one would also have a lifespan of 500 years. This was the path that countless masters pursued.
After all, even a master could not live past 200 years old.
The path of martial arts was not only about revenge or strength. More importantly, it was the exploration of the world and the desire to live as long as the heavens!
However, many masters in the Celestial Realm might not even be able to touch the Celestial Realm when they were 100 years old. A 30-year-old Celestial Realm warrior was indeed impressive.
"What kind of strong enemy did our Changsen Sect encounter 500 years ago?
Even Sage Tianfeng could not withstand it.
Could it be a legendary master of the Noble Realm? "
Nangong Xuan frowned slightly. His eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.
"I'm afraid none of you can imagine that the strong enemy we encountered 500 years ago was the Wan Shou Sect, the holy land of martial arts!"
