The moment he arrived at the Qing Ming House, Ling Xian had sensed the presence of two important places.
One was the treasures that were filled with the scent of treasures. The other was the pavilion that was filled with the scent of books. These two places represented the Qing Ming House's wealth and foundation.
Therefore, when he stepped into the House, he reserved some of his strength for these two places. Plus, the treasures and the pavilion all had their own defensive arrays. Therefore, these two places were not destroyed and were as good as new.
At this moment, Ling Xian first arrived at the treasury.
Other than resolving his hatred and finding a place to settle the citizens of the City of Sin, his biggest gain was without a doubt, the treasury before him.
The Qing Ming House has been dominating this place for a long time and was the ruler of the land for thousands of miles around. Ling Xian didn't know how much wealth they had accumulated over the years. But he was certain that it was an astronomical number.
Even those of the original level would be tempted by this!
"Let me see just how much wealth the Qing Ming House has accumulated." Ling Xian softly grinned. He manipulated his Qi and slammed the door.
As an important place to store treasures, the treasury naturally had powerful defensive arrays. Sadly, in front of him, who was both powerful and knowledgeable in arrays, it was not worth mentioning.
Therefore, after a loud bang, the door of the treasury automatically opened to the two sides.
Then, colorful light began to emit from inside, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
After Ling Xian walked in, he realized that he had underestimated the Qing Ming House's wealth.
There were three levels to the treasury. Every single level was extremely large and was filled with all sorts of treasures. The treasures on the first floor were enough to make him smile in satisfaction.
Spiritual stones!
All he could see were shining white spiritual stones. Roughly calculating, there were at least tens of millions of them. Plus, none of them were low ranked spiritual stones. They were all high ranked ones.
"It is no wonder the Qing Ming House has been dominating this place for so many years. You sure are rich." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. Without another word, he floated up to the second level.
To him, spiritual stones were just worldly possessions. What he valued more were priceless treasures.
When he arrived at the second floor, his eyes brightened. It wasn't because he found a valuable treasure, but because he saw the colorful spiritual medicine.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least a thousand stalks of spiritual herbs placed on the ground. Each of them released a dazzling radiance that was dreamy and illusory.
This brightened Ling Xian's eyes. He was very happy.
Although he didn't refine pills often, he still quite liked elixirs out of a natural hobby. Now that there were so many spiritual medicines here, of course he was happy.
"Not bad. Alchemy will be much more convenient in the future."
Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile. He waved around his sleeve and took half of the spiritual medicine into his pouch. As for the remaining half, he planned on leaving it for the citizens of the City of Sin.
After all, these people would be his subordinates in the future. Naturally, he had to nurture them well.
Then, he soared into the air and arrived at the third floor.
There were all kinds of magic treasures here, and they all looked extraordinary. There were attack, defense, flight, and other types, but the grades were mainly between the ninth and fifth grade.
There wasn't a single treasure of a higher grade.
This was normal. After all, the Qing Ming House was a small House. To have such rich treasures already made Ling Xian very happy.
"Not only did I solve my problems, but I also have a place to settle my people. Today, I have acquired such a shocking amount of wealth. This trip sure was worth it."
Ling Xian was very satisfied with his gains. In a flash, he left the treasury.
Whether it was spiritual stones or treasures, he didn't need any of them. Therefore, he didn't take anything with him. He planned on using them to train the citizens of the City of Sin.
After he strengthened the arrays around the treasury, he headed towards the Pavilion of Scriptures.
After some time, Ling Xian arrived at the door of a three-story building. It had an antique look and was made out of precious Snow Pear Wood. It was emitting a light aroma.
"So this is the Pavilion of Scriptures."
Ling Xian softly smiled. There was no anticipation in his eyes. He knew very well that a small House like the Qing Ming House would not have an unparalleled technique. They may not even have one.
Therefore, he didn't have high hopes for this.
The reason why he came here was because for one, this place already belonged to him. For two, he wanted to flip through the ancient books and find out why the Qing Ming House knew about the secrets of the City of Sin.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ling Xian formed a hand seal and summoned an array breaking technique that broke the three defensive arrays of the Pavilion of Scriptures. Then, he slowly walked in.
When he walked into the first floor, he roughly scanned the yellowed ancient books with his Divine Soul. Just as he expected, they were all low leveled techniques that were useless to him.
The second level contained some small techniques. To others, they were valuable treasures. But to him, they were useless.
He had predicted this, so he wasn't disappointed.
Then, he arrived at the third level. The books here weren't about techniques. They were about the local culture and the stories of cultivators.
"This is the place. Let's search."
Looking at the hundreds of books, Ling Xian bitterly chuckled. To find information about the City of Sin from so many books was not an easy task.
However, since he was here, he had to try.
Therefore, he calmed himself down and picked up a book that was already yellowed. He began to search in detail.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
Books after books were picked up and put down by Ling Xian. Within two hours, he had flipped through 74 books. Yet, out of all these books, he couldn't find anything about the City of Sin.
"Could it be that the Qing Ming House didn't find out about the City of Sin through ancient books? Or did they put it somewhere else?"
Ling Xian frowned. After a moment of silence, he decided to read the rest of the books at once. He had nothing better to do anyways, so he treated it as a way to accumulate knowledge.
After he flipped through a black book, his eyes brightened.
Even though there were only two to three sentences about the City of Sin and it didn't say anything specific, everyone could tell that the city was hiding a huge secret.
"So it is because of the records in the ancient books."
Ling Xian softly smiled. After finding out the reason, his last bit of doubt disappeared. He was also very glad that he killed all the upper management of the Qing Ming House.
Otherwise, if someone were to leak this information, he would definitely be in great danger. If he wasn't careful, he would fall into a place of no return.
"My master and the other immortals made the right decision. Though I am still confused, the secret must be very important. If I accidentally leak it, then I will be dead. "
Ling Xian's expression was heavy. He decided that after the Immortal of Array finishes designing the array, he will quickly bury the City of Sin.
Then, he closed the book and prepared to leave the library with it. However, just as he was about to close the book, he saw a few lines of words from the corner of his eye.
Instantly, he frowned.
