Three hours later, Li Ji’an arrived at the pit and unexpectedly saw that the three early Foundation Establishnt clan mbers left behind by Fu Xiaochen were still there, seemingly unaware of what had transpired inside the tomb.
This brought a burst of joy to Li Ji’an’s heart.
In this way, perhaps Fu Yuanjiang had failed to send his ssage.
After all, the Black Water here devours spirits, the poisonous mist obstructs souls, and the tomb isolates Divine Souls.
Swiftly extinguishing the Divine Souls of the three, Li Ji’an hid inside Gugu’s mouth, staying near the tomb’s exit, secretly observing.
What surprised him was that Gugu seed completely fearless of the Black Water Swamp here. As soon as it touched the Black Water, its skin instantly rged with it, as if the poison of the Black Water considered it a kin.
"Boom~" Not long after, three more presences erged at the tomb’s entrance, followed by a loud explosion.
Soon thereafter, Li Ji’an saw Wu Weixiong and Qin Henian, three people erging from the pit.
Wu Weixiong bowed his hand in apology to Qin Henian, then turned and headed northwest without a backward glance.
Seeing this, Li Ji’an nodded silently.
Even if Fu Yuanjiang hadn’t managed to send a ssage back to the Fiery Sun Sect earlier, the fact that Fu Xiaochen had brought mbers of the Fu Clan here would surely be known within the clan.
Judging from Fu Xiaochen’s behavior upon entering the tomb, he previously didn’t know of Qin Henian’s identity, only that Wu Weixiong was the interdiary.
The death of the True Pill Elder of the Fiery Sun Sect certainly wouldn’t go unanswered.
Wu Weixiong, no matter what, couldn’t escape responsibility; now his only chance of survival was to leave the Celestial Cyan Domain.
As for Qin Henian and Xiaoqiao, the Qin Family is now considered a major taxpayer to Biyun Sect, and previously Biyun Sect had firmly refused Fu Xiaochen’s personal visit, demonstrating their resolve not to compromise with the Fiery Sun Sect.
Even if the Fiery Sun Sect received Fu Yuanjiang’s ssage, knew of Qin Henian’s involvent, and learned of the thods Li Ji’an employed, they would surely wish to seize the opportunity for themselves, forcing Qin Henian without revealing this opportunity to the public.
At that ti, they would only believe the Fiery Sun Sect was trying to cut off Biyun Sect’s financial path, leading Biyun Sect to stand at the forefront.
Watching Qin Henian and Xiaoqiao leave, Li Ji’an instructed Gugu to return to the tomb’s entrance again, checking thoroughly before leaving the area.
However, he did not actually leave the place; instead, he utilized Gugu’s immunity to the Black Water Swamp, going further and deeper into the swamp.
Half a month later, a place illuminated by Holy Light appeared before his eyes once more.
The swamp’s Holy Palace illumination sites are of two kinds: the temporary ones encountered prior to entering the swamp, typically lasting only a day or two before returning to normal.
The other kind is what most cultivators seeking fortunes in the Black Water Swamp yearn for; these places have continuous Holy Light illumination, although the areas illuminated tend to be small, often just one to two zhang in diater.
In these places, there are usually Spirit Plants growing.
Unfortunately, the place Li Ji’an found had already been picked clean of Spirit Plants, leaving only a barren, solid ground.
Li Ji’an didn’t enter; instead, he had Gugu wait in the swamp nearby.
anwhile, he had already taken Fu Xiaochen’s Wind-Fire Fan in hand for experintation.
This is a genuine Ninth Grade Magical Treasure, which he could almost fully activate with his current Fake Pill Cultivation. With this treasure in hand, even a typical True Pill Early Stage True Man would need to watch out, assuming that the opponent didn’t possess an equivalent treasure.
However, within the Celestial Cyan Domain, all True Pill Masters are Upper Sect Elders of the Holy Palace, and they virtually all have real Magical Treasures by their side.
When Xiao Changfeng returned from the frontline years ago, Supre Cloud Qing True Man had already bestowed him with a Magical Treasure.
"The Wind-Fire Fan... truly worthy of being a Magical Treasure, vastly superior to a proto-treasure." With his Divine Sense Spiritual Mark, Li Ji’an had already burned away Fu Xiaochen’s Divine Soul Blood Contract with ease due to Little Fire Spirit’s efforts.
This was his first Magical Treasure he could fully wield.
However, compared with the other Black Water Magic Sword obtained during this iteration, this seed sowhat lacking.
Stowing away the Wind-Fire Fan, Li Ji’an began to sort through his substantial gains...
