Pixiu!

When he heard that the fist-sized, fluffy, snow-white young beast was actually a pixiu, Chen Xi couldn't help but draw a deep breath.

"Who would have thought that a wandering sword immortal could attract a pixiu to accumulate good fortune, truly a heaven-defying good fortune." Ji Yu looked at the pixiu in his palm and praised it repeatedly.

"Accumulate good fortune?" Chen Xi was a bit confused. According to his knowledge, good fortune was intangible and hard to grasp, not something that could be seen with the naked eye, and it seemed extremely difficult to change one's good fortune.

However, in the cultivation world, there was a widely accepted belief that those with abundant good fortune often received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, making their cultivation smooth and effortless, and they had deep blessings and enviable opportunities. Those with insufficient good fortune, on the other hand, faced a bumpy life, with everything going wrong, and although they might not suffer catastrophic misfortune, they would never have a stroke of luck in their lives.

Of course, since good fortune was elusive and hard to detect with the naked eye, it could change with various events.

Now, hearing that the pixiu could accumulate the intangible good fortune, Chen Xi's shock was evident.

Ji Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, for ordinary people, the pixiu is a auspicious beast that brings wealth and treasure, but for cultivators, having a pixiu can completely reverse the good fortune of an individual or even an entire sect!"

At this, Ji Yu's expression turned complex, and he sighed, "In short, when you reach the Celestial Immortal realm, you will understand the role of good fortune."

Another Celestial Immortal realm...

Chen Xi couldn't help but think of his mother, Zuoqiu Xue's instructions. She said that only when he reached the Celestial Immortal realm could they meet, otherwise it would bring disaster.

And now, because of a fist-sized pixiu cub and its ability to accumulate good fortune, which was related to the Celestial Immortal, Chen Xi vaguely felt that it seemed only by reaching the Celestial Immortal realm did he have the qualifications to do anything he wanted.

"Hmm?"

Ji Yu's expression changed slightly, as if he sensed something, and said, "Someone has entered the Treasure Hall, we need to act quickly."

Chen Xi's heart tightened, and he quickly pushed open the door of the secret room and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw six enormous white jade racks, each labeled with 'Yellow Rank', 'Mystic Rank', 'Low Rank', 'Heaven Rank', 'Immortal Rank', and 'Oddities'. Clearly, these six huge white jade racks were where the Immortal Dongming stored his treasures.

However...

The six white jade racks were now completely empty!

"How could this be?"

Chen Xi hurriedly walked forward, his gaze sweeping over the white jade racks. There wasn't even a single hair, they were spotlessly clean.

"Oh, I remember now, the treasures here were probably eaten by this pixiu." Ji Yu was also taken aback, but quickly recovered, shaking his head and laughing, "How could I forget, this little guy loves to eat treasures and oddities, anything with spiritual energy is a delicacy to him."

Chen Xi couldn't laugh, his eyes fixed on the pixiu in Ji Yu's palm, unable to imagine how such a small body could eat an entire room of treasures! How could that be possible?

Roar~~

The fluffy, snow-white pixiu cub, resembling a small lion, bared its teeth and growled at Chen Xi, as if threatening him. However, with its tender voice and clear, black eyes, it didn't look fierce but rather extremely cute. If a girl saw it, she would surely hug it and cuddle it.

"Then aren't we just wasting our time?" Chen Xi muttered, looking at the empty white jade rack labeled 'Immortal Rank', he really wanted to strangle the pixiu.

Immortal Rank!

Just the two words made his blood boil, but he had missed it...

"How can it be a waste of time? I think your gain is already great enough. Look closely, this is a pixiu!" Ji Yu was very puzzled, saying, "Even ten thousand Immortal Rank treasures can't match a single pixiu."

Chen Xi looked at Ji Yu's serious and solemn expression, opened his mouth, but swallowed his complaints.

"Senior Ji Yu, let's go to the Archive Hall."

Chen Xi turned and walked out of the secret room, still feeling regretful, thinking, "If the treasures were eaten, so be it, but surely the cultivation techniques and secret manuals won't be eaten by a divine beast, right?"

...

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A series of rapid footsteps sounded.

Not long after Chen Xi left, a young man in a dark blue robe excitedly pushed open the door of the secret room and walked in.

"Wow!"

Seeing the labels on the six white jade racks, such as 'Immortal Rank', his face suddenly became excited, and his breathing quickened. However, when his gaze fell on the empty interior of the white jade racks, his face instantly froze, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, a mouthful of blood rushing to his throat.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Damn it, from Yellow Rank treasures to Immortal Rank, everything was there, but someone got there first and cleaned it all out... Damn it, if you're going to eat the meat, at least leave some soup, right?"

The young man in the dark blue robe, his lips trembling, let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound so loud that it echoed through the entire Treasure Hall corridor.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, figures appeared in the secret room, looking at the empty six white jade racks, their faces turning extremely ugly.

"Damn it! If I find out who did this, I'll tear him apart alive!"

"Look at the writing, those white jade racks held Immortal Rank treasures! They were all cleaned out, he... he... how can someone be so selfish?"

"This is too much, not even following the rules of the world, too damn despicable!"

...

These young men and women were all outstanding talents from the major forces in Longyuan City, akin to the pride of heaven. They were usually very proud, and this time they entered the Sword Immortal's tomb with great hope.

However, now, looking at the empty surroundings, thinking of the hard work and great risks they had taken, and getting nothing in return, they no longer cared about their dignity, and began to curse the person who had cleaned everything out.

"Did you find any treasures in the other secret rooms?" Su Jiao's face was extremely ugly, as she had searched over a hundred secret rooms and found nothing.

"Yes!" "That's right!" The others were taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

Su Jiao gritted her teeth, her gaze fixed on the six empty white jade racks, and said, "It seems this is the true treasure repository of the Treasure Hall, but someone got there first, truly hateful!"

"Could it be Du Qingxi and the others?" Cang Bin suddenly said, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, clearly very frustrated.

"Impossible, we arrived here before them." Su Jiao shook her head in denial.

"Then... could it be the Purple Mansion cultivators from other regions in the Southern Border?" Cang Bin clearly remembered that when they left Bloodshed City, they were not the first to leave.

"Let it go, let's not think about this for now. This is just the Treasure Hall, we haven't been to the other major halls yet. Now that the Treasure Hall has been plundered, we can't let others take the treasures from the other halls."

Su Jiao took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said slowly, "Even if we can catch up in time, we might even find the person who plundered the Treasure Hall!"

Hearing this, the others also snapped out of their anger, realizing that what Su Jiao said was indeed the most pressing matter. They all harbored deep resentment and followed Su Jiao to the other halls.

They pushed their true essence to the limit, not stopping along the way.

Just wait, kid, is it so easy to take my things?

Damn it, if I catch this kid, I'll flay him alive!

This guy is too selfish! I don't even know if it's a man or a woman. If it's a man, if my future partner ever acts like him, I'll kill him with a wave of my hand!

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Su Jiao led the group out of a hall with grim expressions.

"What a load of crap, just a few broken stones, not even as good as the training ground of my Qingyang Sect..." Someone couldn't hold back and angrily spoke out.

"Shut up!" Su Jiao couldn't hold back and shouted.

At this moment, she couldn't control her emotions. The Treasure Hall was plundered, and the Martial Hall had only a few broken stones for sword cultivation. Not only had they wasted their time, but they also wasted a lot of time, and the thought of others possibly dividing the treasures of the other halls made her unable to contain her anger.

"Go! To the other halls, even if the treasures are taken by others, we'll take them by force!" Su Jiao's voice was filled with killing intent, not hiding her murderous intentions.

Seeing this, the others also had a fierce look in their eyes, following Su Jiao and rushing to the other halls. These people were already very powerful, and with the anger in their hearts, it only took a moment for them to reach another hall.

"Archive Hall? Damn it, someone got there first!" Su Jiao's eyes lit up, but when she saw the half-open door, her expression turned cold, and she said, "It seems we really have to fight."

"Damn it, I've been wanting to kill someone!"

"Finally, I've been so frustrated."

"Go!"

The group, filled with resentment, didn't need to be urged, and each of them rushed into the hall with murderous intent, looking like bandits ready to kill and plunder.
