Chu Xiang walked in the center of the house and didn't meet many people. Under the cover of the Heaven and Earth Mirror, she easily avoided them.
Zhou Xinlian was probably a little guilty of occupying the Chu family. She was afraid of being found out, so she dismissed the servants after the death of the Chu couple. She was praying for her uncle and aunt. Now the servants of the Chu family were all found by Zhou Xinlian. They were mainly to prevent the original owner from running out and plundering the house.
At this time, Zhou Xinlian went out with Wei Lingxiao. The servants in the house also became lazy. They only guarded a few doors and didn't move much. It was convenient for Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang walked into her father's study. It was empty. There were only four walls. Even the tables and chairs were taken to the warehouse by Zhou Xinlian. She looked carefully and found nothing. Then she went to the bedroom of the original owner's parents.
Like the study, everything that could be moved was gone. It was like locusts passing through. Only an empty house was left. It looked very desolate.
Perhaps Zhou Xinlian was afraid of missing some treasures. After all, the ancestor of the Chu family was a Huashen cultivator. There were countless treasures left for the Chu family. Zhou Xinlian didn't have much knowledge. It was possible that she didn't know the top and best treasures. After plundering, no matter whether there were treasures or not, she couldn't miss out. She could also find the mechanism of the secret room.
However, there were no secret rooms in these two rooms. Zhou Xinlian was very disappointed. In addition, she couldn't find a way to enter the forbidden area. Today, she took the original owner's last accessory — the jade gourd.
The jade gourd was the Chu family's heirloom. But Zhou Xinlian didn't know. She only knew that it was a pendant that the original owner had been wearing since she was young. After today, there was no more things to take from the original owner. Otherwise, they wouldn't have watched the original owner being beaten like that.
Chu Xiang was a little glad that Zhou Xinlian grew up with the original owner. She knew that the original owner didn't know anything about the family. She was interrogated twice and wasn't sent to the dungeon for torture. Otherwise, it would have taken her a lot of effort to escape.
Chu Xiang looked at every corner of every room. There was no mechanism. Instead, she felt that the original owner's parents must have set a mechanism somewhere. There was nothing in the room. It was most likely to confuse outsiders and divert their attention to the outside of the courtyard. After all, Rao would normally check other important rooms, such as the ancestral hall, and not this place.
So if there was no mechanism in this room, then the mechanism must be in the courtyard.
Chu Xiang walked out of the door and glanced around the courtyard. She pressed her ribs and sat down. She took out a tortoise shell and three copper coins from her space.
She couldn't use her spiritual energy, but she could read fortunes!
With broken ribs, walking was equivalent to torture. If he could avoid walking, he would try his best to avoid walking. Although it was difficult to calculate things that were directly related to him, it was still possible to calculate the location.
Chu Xiang closed her eyes and calmed her mind. She gently shook the tortoise shell and scattered the copper coins on the ground in front of her. After repeating this three times, she looked up at the rockery in the southeast of the courtyard.
The rockery was very tall, about the height of a person. There was a pond beside it, and there were many beautiful koi fish in the pond. Now, there was no water, and some weeds were growing.
Chu Xiang put away the tortoise shell and slowly walked over. There were vines coiling around the rockery. It was very beautiful, and it was easy for people to mistake it for a landscape in the courtyard. Even the sunlight couldn't reach the rockery. Compared to the other beautiful landscapes in the courtyard, it was not at all eye-catching.
Chu Xiang walked to the shadows behind the rockery and discovered that there was a hidden formation here!
The formation was a chain formation, and there were several layers of camouflage. Normally, walking around the rockery would be fine. It was also fine to enter the formation according to the formation's specific steps. However, if one couldn't open the formation and tried to break it by force, they would trigger a killing formation. Moreover, it was a killing formation that wasn't very powerful. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand it. In the entire South Shore Mainland, there was only one Nascent Soul cultivator in the Wei Clan. This formation could be considered very powerful.
Chu Xiang looked at it for a while. This formation was considered profound in the South Shore, but in her eyes, it was just not bad. She quickly saw the way to enter the formation. Three steps to the left, two steps to the front, four steps to the right, and so on, she slowly walked towards the rockery.
There was clearly a rockery in front of her, but after she entered the formation, she walked directly into the rock. Then, her eyes suddenly opened up, and she saw a room as big as the Patriarch's courtyard. It was like a treasure trove, with many rows of shelves arranged in different categories.
There were books, medicinal pills, magic tools, and many boxes. Looking at the labels on the boxes, she saw that they were filled with spirit plants, yao cores, demonic beast meat, and other precious materials that needed to be properly preserved.
The original owner had been to the Chu Clan's storehouse. The things here were a level higher than the "treasures" in the storehouse. Presumably, this was the Chu Clan's real storehouse, and the things outside were just scraps.
There was also a formation in this room. Chu Xiang spent a lot of time walking around before she could enter. She felt her body hurt even more. She directly walked to the area where the medicinal pills were stored, and looked through the bottles of medicinal pills. They were all good stuff. There was actually a bottle of spirit marrow in the very center!
Chu Xiang picked up the blue porcelain bottle, opened it, and smelled it. It really was spirit marrow.
Normally, there would be a spirit pool in a secret realm. The spirit pool was condensed spiritual energy. When a cultivator drank the spirit pool or soaked in it, they would be able to quickly absorb spiritual energy. The spirit marrow was the core of the spirit pool. It was the most condensed essence. It could be used to wash the marrow and reconstruct a person's body, making it easy for them to absorb spiritual energy.
Cultivators used spiritual energy to cultivate. If their body could easily absorb spiritual energy, then their cultivation would be much faster. For cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm, spirit marrow was a very rare good thing. But for those above the Nascent Soul realm, they did not need it.
Spirit marrow was rare. The Chu Clan's Spirit Severing ancestor only had a few drops in this bottle. Chu Xiang touched her broken ribs. Without any hesitation, she drank the few drops of spirit marrow in one gulp.
The sharp pain came in the blink of an eye! Chu Xiang's forehead was covered in sweat. There was not a single part of her body that did not hurt. She frowned and clenched her teeth. She curled up on the floor and tightly clenched her fists.
Soon, her clothes were completely soaked!
Washing the marrow and reforging the bones meant that all the impurities in her body would be expelled from her body. Then, her meridians would be reorganized, her meridians would be widened, and her bones would be reconstructed inch by inch until they were even stronger. For mortals, this kind of pain was a torture worse than death. But for Chu Xianglai, this was an opportunity. It was better to deal with the pain quickly than to prolong the pain. Reforging the bones was much better than recovering from a broken bone.
Therefore, she did not hesitate at all. Even if she was in pain, her heart did not waver. She just quietly waited for the bone washing to be completed.
On the other hand, the Heaven and Earth Mirror anxiously circled around her. It appeared next to her hand, as if it wanted to comfort her.
After a long time, Chu Xiang gradually relaxed. Her breathing became smooth, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Jing 'er, what are you worried about? It's not like you haven't suffered injuries more painful than this. " She patted the Heaven and Earth Mirror and stood up nimbly. She only felt that her whole body was comfortable, and her voice also carried a bit of a smile. "It's all thanks to the Chu Clan storing this thing. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for me to walk. It's better to be comfortable like this."
Chu Xiang tried to condense spiritual aura. The spiritual aura entered her body several times more than before, but in the end, it still dispersed without leaving behind a trace. Her mixed spiritual roots were actually five spiritual roots. Washing the marrow and reforging the bones made it easier for her to absorb spiritual aura, but it did not change her physique of not being able to retain spiritual aura. Therefore, no matter how much spiritual aura she condensed, it was useless. She couldn't cultivate, nor could she use magic arts. She couldn't even refine pills or refine tools.
However, Chu Xiang looked at the room full of treasures and smiled. It didn't matter. She could spend money. After all, she had plenty of equipment.
Now that her body was comfortable, Chu Xiang quickly looked through all the things in the room. Her focus was on those magic tools and magic treasures. These things were divided into different grades. The things that could be stored in this secret room were all high grade and best grade magic treasures. Chu Xiang looked around and saw two celestial grade magic treasures.
One was an exquisite jade hairpin that could hide a cultivator's appearance and cultivation level. Cultivators below the Divinization stage couldn't see through it. The other was an emerald jade bracelet that contained an immortal's cave space. It could raise living creatures and store mountains and seas.
These two were the only celestial grade magic treasures in the secret room. Maybe because the ancestor of the Divinization stage was a male cultivator, he couldn't use things like jade hairpins and jade bracelets. They were useless, so he gave them to his descendants. However, the descendants of the Chu Family didn't have high cultivation levels for several generations. They were also one of the four major families on the continent. These two magic treasures were of little value to the Chu Family, so they had always been shelved.
Chu Xiang smiled when she saw them. These two magic treasures were suitable for her! She was about to run away. Without cultivation, she could move freely as long as she hid her appearance and voice when facing the most powerful family on the continent. She was even more satisfied with a space that could hold living creatures of the Mountains and Seas. She couldn't take anything from this world, but she originally had a space. As long as she fused this space magic treasure with her space, she would be able to take this space away.
This was really a pleasant surprise. Chu Xiang immediately took the two magic treasures and refined them for her own use. She didn't have any cultivation level, but she had the Heaven and Earth Mirror. The Heaven and Earth Mirror was her natal magic treasure, so the magic treasures it refined naturally belonged to her. She only needed to provide her blood.
Chu Xiang sat down cross-legged. She made a cut on her arm and closed her eyes. The Heaven and Earth Mirror appeared in front of her. The mirror emitted light that covered the jade hairpin and jade bracelet. The two magic treasures absorbed Chu Xiang's blood and were slowly refined by the Heaven and Earth Mirror. A quarter of an hour later, the jade hairpin flew to Chu Xiang's head and gently inserted into her hair. The jade bracelet automatically put on Chu Xiang's left wrist. With a thought from Chu Xiang, the jade bracelet disappeared.
Then the Heaven and Earth Mirror floated in front of her. After another half an hour, the space contained in the jade bracelet had merged with Chu Xiang's space.
Chu Xiang opened her eyes and smiled. She patted the Heaven and Earth Mirror. With a thought, she disappeared and entered the space. If she was hunted down in the future, she would have a place to hide!
Chu Xiang walked around in the space. The space was really big, and everything could be used according to her thoughts. The things she put in the space were all neatly piled together. In this new space, they only occupied a room.
There was a bamboo house built in the space, which looked very elegant. However, except for the complete furniture, there was nothing inside. Not far from the bamboo house, there was a medicinal field. This space was full of spiritual energy. It could be used to grow spiritual plants and raise demonic beasts.
When Chu Xiang was a devil cultivator, the space was much better than this. However, after transmigrating for so long, she was able to refine a space that could raise living creatures. Even if it was her, she still felt happy.
She went out of the space and waved her hand to move everything in the secret room into the space. This place was empty, but she couldn't let those two bastards take advantage of the other things.
