After listening to Chen Yun's detailed answers to his questions, the old man surnamed Lu, who was over 60 years old, looked a little bored.
His eyes scanned all kinds of rare magic weapons, and finally locked on the jade box and medicine bottle.
At this moment, Nanlong Hou raised his right hand and threw the storage bag in his hand to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun subconsciously reached out to take it. He was a little surprised at first, but soon understood the other party's intention, so he weighed it without hesitation.
Then he quickly used his spiritual sense to investigate the contents of the bag, and then respectfully returned the bag to the old man surnamed Lu.
After a careful inspection, the old man nodded slightly to indicate that everything was correct.
He then placed the bag casually on the ground.
"How should we distribute these precious treasures? Should we really let each person take two on average?"
The corners of Lu Weiying's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally raised the issue that concerned him most in his heart, with a complex and solemn look on his face.
"Brother Lu, do you have any other ideas for distributing the treasures?"
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a calm but firm tone.
"If the situation is really as you said, then the jade box and the medicine bottle are both ancient treasures. It is undoubtedly the most fair and reasonable solution for the three of us to equally divide the two unknown treasures."
"However, the actual situation now is that inside the jade box and the medicine bottle."
"We don't know what's inside the jade box and medicine bottle yet, so we should open them and check them first, then distribute them according to their value."
Nanlong Hou suddenly interrupted and expressed his point of view in a seemingly impartial and selfless manner.
After hearing this, the old man surnamed Lu frowned slightly, but then nodded repeatedly to show his agreement:
"That's true. I wonder what Daoyou Chen thinks about this?"
"I have no opinion. It's up to you two Taoist friends to make the decision!"
Chen Yun answered without much thought.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is so direct, so I will take the liberty of giving it a try and see what mysterious treasure is hidden in this jade box."
Nanlong Hou was quite satisfied when he heard Chen Yun's neat and decisive answer.
He immediately stretched out his hand, and the flawless white jade box flew into his palm like lightning.
Then he swung his arms and prepared to open the lid of the box.
However, the moment his palm touched the lid of the box, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly lit up.
A vast and boundless ray of light suddenly spread out, instantly eliminating the strength in his hands.
"Oh my! This box is actually restricted!"
Nanlong Hou exclaimed, but after a moment's hesitation, he once again released the brilliant golden light and tried to grab the box lid on the table.
This time, although white rays of light continued to emerge, they were ultimately unable to resist the domineering golden luster.
The golden light gradually took over, easily covering the lid of the box and forcing it open.
In an instant, the white glow disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yun stared at the mysterious object inside the jade box. What appeared before his eyes was an ancient, slightly yellowed jade slip.
Under the astonished gaze of the old man surnamed Lu, Nanlong Hou hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out two fingers, carefully took out the jade slip, and gently placed it on his forehead.
In an instant, his spiritual sense had taken in all the contents of the jade slip, and an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on his face.
"You two fellow Taoists might as well come and take a look at this thing!"
In order to avoid suspicion, Nanlong Hou quickly took back the jade slip and handed it to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun's expression changed slightly. He took the jade slip and also penetrated his spiritual consciousness into it.
However, after a moment, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then handed the jade slip back to the old man surnamed Lu.
Lu Weiying also hurriedly browsed through the information in the jade slip.
"Seven Flame Fan? What kind of ancient treasure is this? I have never heard of it. Is this treasure extremely powerful?"
The old man couldn't help but whisper to himself before he finished reading.
"I'm afraid it's hard to be sure about this. However, since the refining method was recorded so carefully in this jade slip, and most of the materials used are precious spiritual materials, it must be an extremely powerful magic weapon."
Nanlong Hou explained vaguely.
"Even if this treasure is incredibly powerful, it is of little use to us. The amount of spiritual materials required to refine this treasure is simply too huge."
"Although the jade slip also gives the corresponding ritual method, it actually requires the collection of eighty-one fire-attributed spiritual materials and integration into one."
"Plus a lot of supplementary materials, some of which have already disappeared from the world."
"It seems that this jade slip has become useless to us at this moment. At most, it can be used as a reference for the way of refining weapons."
The old man shook his head and sighed, then returned the jade slip to Marquis Nanlong.
Nanlong Hou smiled slightly, his face full of recognition, and casually placed the jade slip back into the jade box.
"Seven Flame Fan? Sir, does this jade slip really record the method of refining such a magical weapon?"
"Just when Chen Yun was about to decide that this jade slip was useless, Yin Yue's shocking voice suddenly came from the depths of his mind."
When Chen Yun heard about the Seven Flame Fan, which was known as a magical treasure that could reach the sky, he was slightly shocked and immediately replied using a special voice transmission method:
"If that is true, the Seven Flame Fan is exactly what you said. Could it be that you know something about this ancient magical weapon?"
Yin Yue's words revealed obvious excitement, as if some mysterious guidance made her speak continuously:
"Master, according to my memory, this Seven Flame Fan is indeed one of the lowest ranked Tongtian Lingbao."
"Of course, even so, its status among the Tongtian Lingbao cannot be ignored, and it is very likely to be at the bottom."
When the words "Tongtian Lingbao" were mentioned, Chen Yun was instantly shocked and fell into a daze.
Yin Yue continued:
"What? It turns out that this Seven Flame Fan is actually a magical treasure. Then we must find a way to obtain this jade slip."
"Ever since I learned about the existence of the Tongtian Lingbao, I have been eager to study it in depth."
"Now that a refining method has appeared in the world, it is really exciting."
However, before Chen Yun could respond, the Great Yan Divine Lord, who had remained silent, suddenly called out excitedly in his mind:
"Why do you have to butt in, old man?" When Yin Yue heard the accusation from Lord Dayan, her tone instantly turned cold and she retorted mercilessly.
"Haha! You cunning little fox, you're still brooding over what happened back then."
"I have never seen a spiritual weapon before, so I am offering to lend it to you for research."
"Your master didn't agree to this, did he?"
Dayan God laughed loudly, with an attitude of nonchalance. Yin Yue was speechless and could only lower her head silently.
Chen Yun stopped the dispute between Yin Yue and Dayan Shenjun and said calmly:
"Alright, Yin Yue! The past is over. There's no need to worry about it anymore."
"Since Senior Dayan knows something about this kind of spiritual treasure, I am really surprised."
"However, this is not the time to discuss this matter in detail, and all questions can be resolved later."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to the jade box on the ground and found that Nanlong Hou had picked up two black medicine bottles and was about to open the caps.
Upon seeing this, Yin Yue immediately stopped the argument. Although Dayan Shenjun was quite dissatisfied, considering that he was currently under the control of Chen Yun, he could only complain in a low voice and chose to remain silent.
As soon as the cap of the black medicine bottle was opened, a fresh and pleasant fragrance wafted into the air.
After just one breath, Chen Yun felt refreshed all over and his spirit was rejuvenated.
"This doesn't seem to be one of the common ancient elixirs. I don't know what kind of elixir it is. But one thing is for sure, it is definitely not poisonous. We must check the relevant books as soon as possible to confirm it."
Nanlong Hou took out a juicy green pill from the bottle, held it gently in his palm, and muttered to himself hesitantly.
The old man surnamed Lu's eyes flickered, he stared at the pill and said slowly:
"How many pills of this type are there in the medicine bottle?"
Nan Longhou shook the empty bottle several times in front of Chen Yun and the old man, and then answered without hesitation: "Only one! It seems that this is an extremely precious ancient spirit pill."
Lu Weiying's voice gradually became louder: "Then please check the other medicine bottle again!"
Nanlong Hou nodded slightly when he heard this, poured the pills back into the bottle, and then opened another medicine bottle.
As a result, he poured out another green pill that was exactly the same as the previous one. This scene made Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu confused.
"It seems that the harvest this time is quite rich, including three ancient treasures, two unknown elixirs and a secret of refining ancient treasures. I would like to ask the two Taoist friends, how should these treasures be distributed?"
Chen Yun saw the scene in front of him and asked with a smile. Nanlong Hou looked at the two medicine bottles in his hand, raised his head to look at Chen Yun, and said calmly:
"Although the specific effects of these two elixirs are still unknown, Fellow Daoist Chen should know that the original intention of the two of us entering the valley was to seek various elixirs."
"Therefore, of these two elixirs, Fellow Daoist Lu and I plan to take one each, and just regard it as a treasure."
"As for Fellow Daoist Chen, you can first choose one from the remaining ancient treasures. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
When Chen Yun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes focused on the antique treasures placed on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:
"I don't need to explain the value of this ancient elixir to you in detail, because I believe you two colleagues already know it very well."
"To be honest, I would rather give up these treasures and strive to get one of the elixirs."
"Who knows if this could possibly improve my cultivation level!"
Chen Yun shook his head slightly, stroked his beard, and answered seriously.
After Chen Yun's sincere words, Nanlonghou and Lu Weiying's faces became solemn, and they looked a little nervous and uneasy.
Nan Longhou's face swayed uncertainly for several times, and finally he forced a smile, and then said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is young and has a promising future. Why would you compete with elderly people like us who are about to enter the realm of life and death for these two elixirs?"
"Since you have already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in such a short period of time, it will be just around the corner for you to break through to the Supreme level in the future."
"Age is not a factor in whether or not you can obtain the elixir. When the opportunity comes, Chen will definitely do his best. I am willing to give up all my treasures just to get these two elixirs."
"In fact, Chen really doesn't take other ancient treasures too seriously."
Chen Yun's facial expression remained stern as he explained softly.
"Mr. Chen's point of view seems a bit too biased. We will never let go of this elixir easily."
"Then let's think about it this way. If Mr. Chen is willing to give up the elixir, we can agree to let you choose one of the remaining treasures first."
"As for the remaining treasures, we will distribute them fairly. What do you think, Brother Nanlong?"
Hearing Chen Yun's firm statement, the elder surnamed Lu became extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and finally made this suggestion.
After listening to this, Nanlong Hou frowned, but after a brief silence, he smiled helplessly and sighed, and responded:
"In that case, as long as Fellow Daoist Chen can give up these elixirs, we can let Fellow Daoist Chen have the right to choose two treasures first."
Faced with such a proposal, Nanlonghou showed a momentary confusion and reluctance on his face.
Because in the previous adventure in Mulan Grassland, most of his ancient treasures had been destroyed by the attack of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
He certainly could not ignore this precious ancient treasure that was about to be in his pocket.
But between the ancient elixir and these ancient treasures, he naturally knew which was more important.
Seeing Chen Yun's slightly wavering look at this time, as if this suggestion had already had some influence on him, the elder surnamed Lu immediately seized the opportunity and persuaded him again:
"Fellow Daoist Chen still has a long life ahead of him. There will be plenty of time to look for elixirs in the future. In comparison, the ancient treasures are more important to you now."
"After all, you will definitely encounter countless battles on your future journey. If you have one more ancient treasure now, it may save your life at a critical moment in the future."
In order to make Chen Yun give up the elixir, the old man racked his brains.
Chen Yun couldn't help but smile slightly.
“It seems that if Chen doesn’t give up these elixirs, it will be difficult to distribute these treasures reasonably.”
"Okay. In view of the sincere attitude of the two Taoist friends, I can promise to give up these two ancient spirit pills."
"Chen, you don't need to choose two ancient treasures. In addition to this mirror, please give me the treasure refining secret book and these materials in this jade box."
"Chen has always had a strong interest in the art of refining weapons."
Chen Yun stretched out his hands, and the purple mirror immediately flew into his palms, and he spoke in a steady tone.
"Of course no problem, just do as Brother Chen says."
Nanlonghou and the other man were stunned at first, but after a brief eye contact, they agreed without hesitation.
Although they were puzzled as to why Chen Yun did not choose the ancient treasure but chose these items instead.
But now, for the sake of the Ancient Spirit Pill, they are unwilling to delve into these trivial details. (End of this chapter)
