"In this year’s New Dragon List Tournament, Luo Feng is sure to shine brightly!"

Above the clouds, the Purple Brow Wanderer looked at Luo Feng entering the Black Palace, his gaze burning, and within his slightly cloudy eyes, there was a trace of amazement that he couldn’t conceal.

He had lived for decades, serving as an elder in the Purple Extreme Palace for over ten years, having seen many things and rarely surprised by anything. Yet now, he was somewhat involuntarily amazed.

The power of that single saber strike was quite moving; for a martial artist at the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to unleash such power with one saber technique was, if not unique, definitely rare! At least, in all his years, today was the first time he had witnessed it.

The surprise in Shui Linglong’s eyes flashed and disappeared. Seeing the expression of the Purple Brow Wanderer, she smiled and said, "I feel that his saber technique has improved just now. It’s a good thing we didn’t step in to help."

The Purple Brow Wanderer nodded, expressing with emotion, "The younger generation is indeed formidable, with all sorts of top talents emerging. This year’s New Dragon List Tournament is likely to be the most grand and intense in decades. I’m quite looking forward to it."

"Yes. But we don’t have to wait long; there are only five months left until the next New Dragon List Tournament." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

...

Swish!

Luo Feng’s figure was like lightning. In a few breaths, he had already entered the Black Palace.

The palace was magnificent, with rows of massive stone pillars, embedded with Luminous Pearls, exuding a soft light, illuminating the interior brightly.

Whoosh!

As he passed a corridor corner, a sudden sound of breaking wind arose. A Blood Saber Guard hidden in the darkness suddenly lunged out, the Blood Moon Crescent Blade in his hand gleaming with a ghostly blood light, forming a curtain of sabers, slashing towards Luo Feng.

"Die!"

Without even looking, Luo Feng punched out.

Boom!

The air exploded. The body of this Blood Saber Guard was crushed into the wall by the force of the punch, blood streaming from his seven orifices, his bones shattered, already lifeless, with a look of shock still on his face.

Luo Feng did not stop, releasing his soul power, his figure flashed, shooting towards the depths of the palace.

After cutting down a few more Blood Saber Guards and Sky Flying Demons, Luo Feng arrived before a tightly closed black hall door.

Boom!

With a punch, the stone door shattered, and Luo Feng entered the hall.

Gasp!

Stopping in his tracks, Luo Feng couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

So much wealth!

In the expansive hall, gold and silver were casually piled up like a small mountain, each chest holding millions of taels, filling the hall. Luo Feng roughly estimated that these gold-level silver treasures were worth over ten billion taels of gold, such wealth that even some small families might not possess.

Aside from the gold and silver, there were a vast number of jewels around as well, and judging by the luster, they were all of top quality, of considerable value, with a total worth not less than the gold-level silver.

While gold and silver were not rare to martial artists of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, this was only true for small amounts of wealth. Such a massive treasure hoard was enough to tempt any Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist, as many of them might never earn this much in a lifetime.

What tempted Luo Feng most were the rows of ebony boxes on either side of the hall, all filled with Yuan Stones. The majority were first-grade Yuan Stones, with a substantial number of second-grade as well. The astounding Yuan Qi emitted formed a tangible spiritual fog, refreshing to inhale.

"Four hundred boxes of first-grade Yuan Stones, eighty boxes of second-grade Yuan Stones, and each box of first-grade Yuan Stones should contain a hundred thousand pieces! Each box of second-grade Yuan Stones should contain ten thousand pieces."

Scanning these ebony boxes, Luo Feng’s breathing gradually became rapid. If the gold and jewels were just surprising, the vast number of Yuan Stones was shocking.

No, it was stunning.

He didn’t know about the Linglong Hall, but the entire stash of the Purple Sun School probably didn’t even have four million first-grade Yuan Stones.

And considering the exchange rate of a thousand first-grade Yuan Stones for one second-grade, the total value here was twelve million first-grade Yuan Stones and one hundred twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones! Such wealth was terrifying, possibly equivalent to all the riches of a medium-sized city. Who knew where the Blood Saber Demon General obtained it all?

"Better pack it up quickly."

After the initial surprise, Luo Feng quickly calmed down. A man with a treasure could become guilty of possessing it. More than a million second-grade Yuan Stones would be enough to tempt martial artists of the True Yuan Realm. Being discovered would undoubtedly cause a big uproar.

With a wave of his hand, chests of gold, jewels, and Yuan Stones were all stored into Luo Feng’s storage ring.

His storage ring was only of second-grade, with a space equivalent to the size of a room, insufficient to hold a thousand wooden boxes. Only about one-eighth was packed before it was completely filled.

Fortunately, he had slain Lu Zhao and obtained over a dozen storage rings from him, some of which were also second-grade. They came in handy just in time.

After sweeping all the Yuan Stones clean and storing about ninety percent of the gold and jewels, his storage rings were nearly full.

Looking at the remaining gold and jewels, Luo Feng showed a wry smile and muttered to himself, "It seems I really need to find an opportunity to buy a high-grade storage ring. Carrying a dozen storage rings isn’t practical."

Shaking his head, Luo Feng no longer concerned himself with the remaining gold and jewels.

For one, his storage rings couldn’t fit any more, and two, during this hunting tournament, the disciples from various Golden Palaces suffered significant casualties. Leaving these treasures to other Golden Palace disciples would prevent them from returning empty-handed. Considering the wealth he now possessed, he didn’t care much for these additional riches.

With the Yuan Stones and gold and jewels in hand, Luo Feng proceeded towards the shelves inside the hall.

The shelves were divided into three tiers, with secret manuals scattered across them.

Luo Feng glanced over them. The top tier housed Profound Level top-grade cultivation techniques and martial arts, a total of two books. The second tier also contained Profound Level cultivation techniques and martial arts, just a notch lower than those above, totaling fourteen books. As for the lowest tier, it consisted of thirty-four Yellow Level martial arts.

Viewing these martial arts manuals, Luo Feng displayed a wry smile.

Not to mention the Yellow Level martial arts, the Profound Level cultivation techniques and martial arts, if auctioned, would greatly tempt Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists. Especially the Profound Level top-grade cultivation techniques, they were invaluable to the Twelve Golden Palaces, and if they appeared in the wulin, they’d undoubtedly cause a storm. Yet here they were, discarded like trash, truly casting pearls before swine.

Many of these martial arts manuals were stained with blood, some even damaged, likely obtained by Demon Sect disciples after slaughtering martial artists of other dynasties.

Sigh...

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng waved his hand, storing all the secret manuals into the storage ring, leaving none behind.

"That’s about it."

Luo Feng glanced at the now empty hall, his figure flashed, swiftly heading outside the palace.

Soon, Luo Feng appeared outside the palace.

"Luo Feng is out, I wonder what he got inside."

"This palace is guarded by two Demon General-level experts, the wealth inside must be extraordinary."

"Let’s go! We’ll have a look inside; if we can find something, this trip won’t be in vain."

"Exactly, this palace is so large, he might have overlooked some areas."

"Let’s move!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

On the platform outside the palace, numerous Golden Palace disciples saw Luo Feng appear, immediately moving in groups towards the black palace, hoping to find something valuable.

A moment later.

Exclamations echoed throughout the palace.

"So many treasures!"

"These treasures are worth at least close to a million first-grade Yuan Stones. Hahaha... we’ve struck it rich."

"These are mine!"

Many Golden Palace disciples, upon seeing the wealth Luo Feng left in the hall, had their eyes turn red.

For their cultivation level, tens of thousands of first-grade Yuan Stones are considered a considerable fortune, and the wealth in the hall is valued close to a million!

Without needing anyone to speak up, all the Golden Palace disciples started vying, trying to collect as much wealth on the ground as possible. Occasionally, arguments arose, but no actual fighting occurred.

Currently, the four Golden Palace disciples are evenly matched in number, any move would lead to a chaotic melee. No one can afford such repercussions, even the top experts on the New Dragon List cannot.

Outside the palace.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng!"

The four sat on a flat land, upon seeing Luo Feng, Nanxuan rose on her toes, waving from afar.

Luo Feng nodded, walking over.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, hello!"

"Senior Brother, you were really impressive earlier."

The female disciples from Linglong Hall greeted Luo Feng one by one, showing respect with eyes filled with admiration. Luo Feng’s prowess in slaying the Asura earlier left an indelible mark on many hearts. Those who had reservations about Luo Feng entering Linglong Hall now felt relieved, even grateful.

Luo Feng nodded, indicating acknowledgement, as he approached Xia Yunjing and the others.

Xia Yunjing saw Luo Feng’s somewhat pale complexion and asked, "Junior Brother Luo Feng, are you alright?"

Luo Feng shook his head, "Thanks for your concern, it’s nothing serious. By the way, these are for you."

Saying this, Luo Feng took out four storage rings and tossed them to Xia Yunjing, Nanxuan, and the others.

"What is this?"

Nanxuan held the storage ring with a suspicious look.

"Just a little gift to celebrate our team coming together for the hunting event and surviving by a hair." Luo Feng smiled.

Nanxuan tilted her head, then sensed the contents inside the storage ring, her bright eyes immediately widened.

"Senior Brother, this...this...is this really for me?"

Not only her, but Lin Yue’er, Lin Xin also had the same expression, even Xia Yunjing was no exception.

Inside the storage rings of the four were numerous gold and jewels, along with twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded. The key arrow from Xia Yunjing was pivotal in slaying the Asura. They were a team, and Luo Feng couldn’t monopolize all the wealth. Besides, his wealth exceeded a million second-grade Yuan Stones, giving away eighty thousand wasn’t much of a loss.

"But...this is too valuable...I..."

Nanxuan, usually eloquent, blushed, rendered almost speechless.

For an ordinary Golden Palace disciple, twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones are a tremendous fortune. Nanxuan’s entire savings didn’t even reach ten thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

Luo Feng chuckled lightly, "Just accept it, unless you think it’s too little?"

"No! Thank you, Senior Brother."

Nanxuan hastily shook her head, carefully putting away the storage ring.

"Thank you."

With a glance at Luo Feng, Xia Yujing also stored the storage ring away.

To her, twenty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones wasn’t much, but it certainly wasn’t little either.

"Senior Brother, I have something for you too," Nanxuan lifted her head and suddenly said.
