No one objected to Fang Xing's suggestion.
The high-grade immortal equipment in the golden chest was not something Gu Zheng urgently needed, so he took the initiative to withdraw. This also made it easier for Fang Xing and the others.
However, although he did not want the immortal equipment, Gu Zheng wanted something else. Four high-grade ingredients and ten high-grade ingredients were put into his storage belt.
After a simple distribution, the four of them left the immortal array that had trapped them for a long time.
When they returned to the room in the treasure trove, Gu Zheng and the others walked out of the room and saw that the doors in front of them had been opened. This meant that during the time they were trapped in the immortal array, people had also entered these rooms.
"In the time we were delayed, the treasures on the first floor must have been taken. Let's go to the second floor!" Yang Jue said.
"We can't go to the second floor yet. There's still a hidden treasure on the first floor. We have to go there and get what's inside!" Fang Xing said telepathically.
"Hidden treasure?" Gu Zheng's eyes lit up.
"To be exact, it's a hidden room. It shouldn't be discovered by anyone. There's a treasure chest in it, and there's a jade scroll in it. That's the key to finding the hidden room on the second floor!" Fang Xing said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Everyone was excited. They quickly came to a stone room with an open door.
"You think you can hide yourself and no one can see you?"
Gu Zheng sneered at the empty room.
Ripples appeared in the air in the room. Two old Immortal Cultivators with beards that reached their chests appeared from their concealment.
"Heh, heh heh …"
"Fellow cultivators! We, we just came here not long ago. We didn't get any treasures here. Fellow cultivators, can you please let us pass? "
The two old men looked at Gu Zheng and the others with funny smiles. Their smiles were fawning, but there was also fear. They were even afraid that Gu Zheng and the others would kill them and steal their treasures.
"Let us pass? We can't let them pass! "
Gu Zheng sneered. He lifted his leg and sent a wind dragon into the room.
The moment Gu Zheng made his move, Huang Qi and the rest followed suit! The turtle-in-a-jar terrain was very unfavorable for the two old men, but the two old men actually disappeared without a trace under the attacks of the crowd.
"Hmph, you're courting death!"
Gu Zheng sneered. After entering, he immediately formed a seal with both hands.
The two old men, who were both Jin Xian Intermediate Stage, were very sinister. When Gu Zheng and the others came over, they did not make a sound. If they were really worried about the number of people, it would not be a problem for them to escape in advance.
However, the two sinister old men had chosen to stay behind. Although Gu Zheng did not know why they had chosen to stay, Gu Zheng knew that they had set up a Level 1 Immortal Array in the room! If they let them go, Gu Zheng and the others would definitely be trapped in the first layer of the immortal array if they did not have enough understanding of the immortal array. At that time, the initiative would not be in their hands.
"So there's an immortal array in this room!"
Seeing Gu Zheng's method of breaking the array, Fang Xing only realized in hindsight that if he did not have the treasure map, he would not be able to compare with Gu Zheng in terms of array attainments, even if Gu Zheng did not have the help of the artifact spirit.
"It seems that the two old men escaped into the immortal array," Huang Qi said.
"Staying behind to resist is death. Escaping into the immortal array is also death. The only way out is already blocked by their sinister schemes."
Following Gu Zheng's spell, a light array appeared on the ground. The light array distorted and disappeared.
Every Level 1 Immortal Array had its own array space. When someone was trapped in the array space, if the immortal array was destroyed from the outside, then the person inside would most likely die along with the array space.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what kind of environment do you think the destroyed immortal array space will be like?" Yang Jue asked curiously.
"The space has been destroyed. What kind of environment can there be? I reckon that by the time I restore the immortal array and let the immortal array space be created, those two old men will probably be two meat patties! "
As he spoke, Gu Zheng cast another spell, beginning to restore the air.
Gu Zheng had never done this kind of thing before. But according to the device spirit, although people would die in the annihilation of space, the storage belt and mustard seed bag, because they were dead objects and were made of special materials, might be well preserved. Therefore, Gu Zheng wanted to see if there were any gains. After all, he had killed two cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm.
"You wait outside. I'll go in and take a look!"
The immortal array had been restored. Gu Zheng flashed into the array. Although Yang Jue and Huang Qi did not have any special reaction, they paid attention to Fang Xing's behavior. They did not trust him very much either.
However, after Gu Zheng entered the immortal array, Fang Xing closed his eyes and focused on sensing his surroundings. No one could tell what he was thinking.
The situation in the immortal array was not much different from what Gu Zheng had guessed. The two old men were already dead. Their deaths were really like meat patties. Their storage belts were still intact. Gu Zheng did not claim ownership of them and directly took them out.
"I haven't claimed ownership of these two storage belts. I don't know what's inside. I'll take one and the other one will go to the three of you. Do you have any objections?"
In this situation, Gu Zheng was still the only one doing the work. But the danger was far less than in the three-layered immortal array. Thus, when faced with this sort of situation, Gu Zheng should indeed take out a portion to give Huang Qi and the others. However, it was only a portion, and not half.
"Fellow Daoist Bai is so kind!"
Fang Xing cupped his fists at Gu Zheng.
Huang Qi and Yang Jue also said a few words of gratitude. Huang Qi then took one of the storage belts. After claiming ownership, he showed Yang Jue and Fang Xing the items inside, then left it with him for the time being.
As for Gu Zheng's storage belt, he glanced at it after it recognized him as its owner. Seeing that there was nothing special in it, he put it away.
"This immortal array needs to be destroyed. Its existence also obscures the hidden treasures!"
Fang Xing destroyed the immortal array, then formed a seal with both hands. He pushed at the northern wall three times in a row. The originally empty wall suddenly revealed a dazzling door.
The door was not a real thing. It was actually just an immortal array.
"Everyone, place your hands on the immortal array with me. We'll be able to enter the array space and find the hidden treasures," Fang Xing said.
"Wait, I think it's better to set up an immortal array in this room …"
Yang Jue was also frightened by how Gu Zheng had destroyed the immortal array and squashed the two old men to death. He was afraid that the same thing would happen to them when they entered the next array.
"Once we enter, the immortal array will disappear. Fellow Daoist Yang, you don't have to worry about that. However, if you set up an immortal array in this room, it'll be unnecessary and arouse suspicion. "
Gu Zheng's words enlightened Yang Jue. He laughed heartily. "My words just now were thoughtless. I've made a fool of myself in front of you all!"
Without further ado, everyone placed their hands on the immortal array. Instantly, they disappeared from the room.
"We're rich!"
Yang Jue and Huang Qi exclaimed when the light in front of them alternated between bright and dark.
This wasn't an ordinary immortal array space, but an existence similar to Gu Zheng's chaos space!
"Amazing!"
Even the artifact spirit, who rarely praised others, couldn't help but sigh at the sight. After all, to transform the immortal array space into a place rich in immortal essence like the chaos space, not only did it require a huge amount of resources, but it also required a sufficient understanding of the Dao of Space.
The space in front of them was like a back garden. In terms of size, it was much smaller than Gu Zheng's chaos space. However, although it was small, it had all the essentials. There were flowers, grass, water, trees, and also things that could move.
The trees bore high-grade exquisite immortal fruits. Although the grass on the ground wasn't an ingredient, it was Immortal Moss Grass, which was a high-grade ingredient.
In the herb garden, there were high-grade ingredients such as Snow Ganoderma, Sky Profound Ginseng, Nine Leaves Nine Flowers, and Golden Buddha Lotus. As for high-grade ingredients, there were even more high-grade ones.
There were only two kinds of things in the pond: Immortal Elemental Turtle and True Lobster. There were five of each kind, and all of them were high-grade ingredients.
As for the things that could move on the grass, there were eight immortal rabbits with white fur and red eyes. They were also high-grade ingredients.
Although the things in the immortal array space were extremely valuable, Gu Zheng and the others didn't rush to divide them up. Instead, they all looked at Fang Xing inquisitively.
Gu Zheng and the others came to this immortal array space mainly to find clues about the hidden treasure on the second floor. However, until now, they hadn't found anything that looked like a clue.
"Let's search!"
Facing the inquisitive eyes of the others, Fang Xing took the lead. Therefore, the others released their divine senses and searched carefully in this small space.
After a while.
Fang Xing frowned and asked the others, "Did you find anything?"
"No."
Everyone shook their heads.
"This is a little depressing! We thought that the hidden treasure on the second floor was obvious. Who would have thought that we would encounter such a situation? Are we going to waste a lot of time here? Is it worth it? "Fang Xing asked again.
The others didn't answer immediately. They were all immortal cultivators, not ordinary people. After searching with their divine senses and not finding anything, it was very difficult to find anything else. Here, unlike ordinary people, there was no such thing as carelessness.
"Can't we have our cake and eat it too?"
Yang Jue looked at everything in front of him and gritted his teeth. He was afraid that if they wasted time and couldn't find any clues, the treasures on the second floor would be taken away by others. However, if they gave up just like that, they wouldn't be satisfied. After all, the hidden treasure on the first floor was already so valuable. The value of the second floor's hidden treasure was unimaginable!
"I think that if we start collecting the things here now, we might find something in the process. If we don't find anything after collecting, let's not waste time here. After all, some things depend on luck."
No one objected to Gu Zheng's suggestion. Fang Xing said, "There are too many resources here. It's not suitable for one person to keep it. Let's just divide it up."
The space in the storage belt wasn't small, but the largest was only about the size of a house. And the resources here were destined to be abandoned by Fang Xing and the others. For example, the immortal fruit tree and most of the turf.
There were four of them, but the resources were all 'five'. In terms of distribution, Gu Zheng took the initiative to withdraw from the 'one' distribution. However, his condition was that the turf and immortal fruit tree that they couldn't take away would be given to him.
"Daoist Bai, what do you want these things for?" Fang Xing didn't understand.
"I naturally have my uses for them." Gu Zheng smiled mysteriously.
"Alright then, I have no objections. If the two of you have no objections, let's hurry up and collect the resources." Fang Xing said.
"No objections!" Huang Qi said.
"I have a suggestion! Regarding the clues to the second floor's hidden treasure, if one of us finds it, we should reward him handsomely. After all, it's hard to find and important! "Yang Jue said.
"Sure!"
Everyone agreed to Yang Jue's suggestion. Following which, they collected the resources that belonged to them and put them into their own storage belts.
"How strange!"
Gu Zheng muttered to himself as he collected the resources.
"What's strange?" The Weapon Spirit asked.
"Among the resources here, besides the turf, there are five immortal fruit trees. There are also five herbs in the medicine shop. Even the immortal turtle and lobster in the pond are five. But why are there four immortal rabbits? Is this really a coincidence? "Gu Zheng asked.
The Weapon Spirit didn't say a word. He was deep in thought.
"You said that the things here have been growing for thousands of years. Their medicinal properties are extremely good compared to other ingredients of the same level. For something like the immortal rabbit, could it have gained spiritual intelligence? Perhaps it has become a demon?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Although this place is rich in immortal core energy, it is still a man-made space. It lacks some very mysterious things compared to the real space. And these mysterious things seem to have a very important effect on the spiritual intelligence of all living things! If it was in the outside world, an immortal rabbit that has lived for thousands of years may not become a demon, but gaining spiritual intelligence is still a possibility. After all, it is more spiritual than an ordinary rabbit. However, in this special space, time will only erase their spiritual intelligence. You've already verified this. "
The Weapon Spirit's verification was that Gu Zheng had used the Wood-Controlling Art on the Linglong Immortal Fruit Tree.
When he went to look for the Immortal Ginseng with the little fox, Gu Zheng had used the Wood-Controlling Art on a Dragon Scholar Tree. From there, he learned that the Immortal Ginseng had been plucked by the long-bearded old man. Using the Wood-Controlling Art on plants with spiritual intelligence to read a bit of their memories was one of the advanced Wood-Controlling Art's remarkable abilities.
Gu Zheng had not only used the Wood-Controlling Art on the Linglong Immortal Fruit Tree, he had also used it on other immortal herbs and spirit herbs. However, it was to no avail. Because they were produced in this special space, their spiritual intelligence had been erased.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't speak, the Weapon Spirit asked again, "Did you discover something that I didn't?"
The Weapon Spirit's probing abilities were very strong, far surpassing Gu Zheng's in some aspects. However, she was also inferior to Gu Zheng in some aspects. It was as if she and Gu Zheng had both probed this space, but Gu Zheng had discovered something that she hadn't.
Gu Zheng had discovered traces of some root-type ingredients in the soil of this space. He was able to make this discovery because of his advanced Wood-Controlling Art. However, this was a detail that the Weapon Spirit couldn't discover.
"You're saying that there are traces of root-type ingredients here, and that it hasn't been too long ago?"
The Weapon Spirit was a bit puzzled by Gu Zheng's words. No one had entered this space for a long time. Growing ingredients wouldn't have disappeared for no reason. It was no wonder that Gu Zheng suspected the existence of spiritual monsters.
"Yes."
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he continued, "Other than the existence of monsters, no other explanation makes sense. After all, living in this kind of space, animals don't need traditional food. The only thing they need to grow is immortal essence."
"If there really is a spiritual monster, and it's a rabbit spiritual monster, then this thing has some tricks up its sleeves. After all, it can hide from our probing." The Weapon Spirit said.
"Let's take away everything here. Maybe we'll find something unexpected?" Gu Zheng said hopefully.
Harvests always made people happy, but not being able to find any clues made them feel helpless. Now that all the resources that should be distributed had been distributed, the only things left in the space were most of the turf and the exquisite fruit trees. Disappointment filled the hearts of Fang Xing and the other two.
"I'm really curious. What does Fellow Daoist Bai want with these turf and fruit trees?"
Failing to find the clues he was looking for, Yang Jue forced himself to focus on Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist Yang will know when he sees it!"
Gu Zhengwang began to walk along the turf. At the same time, he kept the turf into the Chaos Space.
Seeing Gu Zheng use such a special method to collect resources, the trio's eyes widened.
"Heavens!"
"A high-grade spatial immortal tool!"
"Fellow Daoist Bai actually has a high-grade spatial immortal tool!"
Shock and envy filled the eyes of Fang Xing and the other two. In response, Gu Zheng only smiled slightly and continued to collect the grass on the ground.
Although the Immortal Moss Grass was very precious, it couldn't replace the original turf in the Chaos Space. Its growth couldn't provide extra Immortal Qi for the immortal fields in the Chaos Space. So Gu Zheng only collected it as a resource and didn't have any other special uses. As for the Exquisite Immortal Tree, although its fruits had been divided, they could be transplanted into the Chaos Space and continue to bloom and bear fruit.
"Heavens!"
"This isn't a high-grade spatial immortal tool. This is a super spatial immortal tool!"
"I can't believe I'm seeing a super spatial immortal tool. This, this …"
Yang Jue and the others were even more shocked when they saw Gu Zheng store the ten meter tall Exquisite Immortal Fruit Trees into his Void Space. If this wasn't a super spatial immortal tool, then what was it?!
"Eh?"
"What is this?"
"Quick, grab it!"
When Gu Zheng uprooted the fifth Exquisite Immortal Tree, a ball of white light suddenly shot out from the tree.
The speed of the white light was fast, but Gu Zheng, who had long suspected the existence of spiritual monsters, was even faster. He, who left behind an afterimage, had already appeared in front of the white light. With a wave of his hand, the white light was sucked into his hand.
The white light was the fifth rabbit Gu Zheng had guessed. When Gu Zheng lifted its ears, its ruby-like eyes shot out a beam of spiritual attack. Unfortunately, the spiritual attack was too weak and was easily blocked by Gu Zheng's Mind Calming Technique.
"Behave yourself if you don't want to die. Otherwise, I'll skin you and roast you!"
"Chi chi!"
Gu Zheng originally wanted to ask the rabbit spirit for clues about the hidden treasures on the second floor, but the rabbit spirit responded to his scratching and shaking with struggle and intimidation.
