Seeing the Large Formation beginning to operate again, Chen Mobai finally allowed himself to breathe a sigh of relief.

He wanted to sit down and rest for a bit, but the sight of two bodies inside the Water Mansion sapped him of any inclination to do so.

Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see were their expressions, filled with unresolved resentment while meeting their ends.

Chen Mobai, however, had no experience dealing with corpses. He paced around the great hall, spotted the fish flopping around, and considered whether he should dispose of the bodies by throwing them into the water outside the large formation, leaving them to the mercies of the fish.

Nevertheless, after some careful contemplation, Chen Mobai shook his head.

Although he didn’t know where this Eastern Wilderness was located, his obsession with crime investigation dramas since childhood led him to believe that the fish here wouldn’t be fierce enough to completely devour and eliminate the bodies.

To avoid the corpses floating to the surface and attracting the attention of the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai decided that the most prudent course of action would be to eradicate any evidence of the two within the Water Mansion.

But how to eliminate them?

Chen Mobai frowned and paced around the hall another time, considering whether to use fire. However, even if he had the ability to cast an Ignition Technique, or even if the temperature was high enough, the enclosed space made it impossible for him, an ordinary high school senior, to cremate the bodies.

In the end, he found himself standing in front of the elderly man’s mutilated body, suppressing his bodily instincts. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly caught sight of the stone door sealing off the side hall.

“Right, I could use the restrictions here.”

Remembering how the bluish electric light had vaporized the coin he’d used for testing, Chen Mobai believed he had a workable solution.

Time was of the essence, so he acted immediately.

Mainly because Chen Mobai really couldn’t stand being around the corpses any longer.

He employed his most proficient Propulsion Technique to lift one of the old man’s arms, then thrust it towards the stone door of the central side hall.

With a “hiss”!

Indeed, without any spiritual power or defense, the bloody arm directly vaporized under the impact of the bluish electric light. The blood mist stained the earth tiles and left bloody marks on the stone door, triggering the restrictive power.

The sound of sizzling…

Next, the entire Water Mansion was steeped in the incessant flashing and fading of the electric light.

After going back and forth five times, the old man’s body was finally dealt with.

Chen Mobai was astonished to find that the restrictive power on the stone door of the side hall seemed to have weakened a bit.

“It seems that the prohibitions in the side hall are not connected with the spirit veins of the entire Water Mansion. It would be much easier to break the prohibitions this way.”

A remarkable Array Master would connect the several important buildings with the Spirit Vein Formation while arranging the defense of the Large Formation. In this way, as long as the Large Formation was not broken and the Spirit Veins were not dispersed, the restrictive power on the buildings would immediately recover even if they were worn out.

This Azure Water Array was not too bad, but clearly, the person who set up the formation simply bought the Array Plate and Array Flag and followed the previous layout.

After disposing of the old man’s corpse, Chen Mobai noticed a bloody bag lying on the tile. Following the principle of caution, he used the Propulsion Technique to lift the bag and then poured out its contents.

A loud clatter ensued.

Apart from more than a dozen neatly cut pieces of gold, there were two books, three bottles of elixirs, a short sword, and a change of robes.

Chen Mobai’s breathing became rapid when he saw the gold. Although the value of this metal was not as significant as it was in the previous civilization, it was still a material used in cultivation within the Immortal Sect. Whether it was gold powder used for writing and drawing symbols after special processing, or the essence of gold after refining, both were in high demand.

The estimated value of these dozen gold bars was about eight hundred Good Deed Points. If well exploited, it could yield nearly a thousand Good Deed Points.

Chen Mobai, who had never owned so much money, was a little overwhelmed.

He picked up the two books and took a quick look. One appeared to be the old man’s cultivation technique, titled “Blackwater Cultivation”. Chen Mobai set it aside, deeming this not the time to study it.

The title of the other book made him gasp.

“Detailed Explanation of Azure Aquatic Formation”

This was the instruction manual for the Water Mansion’s defensive Large Formation. Chen Mobai initially thought the old man was lying about being the disciple of the master of the Water Mansion. Seeing this book, he realized it might be true.

However, the manual was rather thick, and when Chen Mobai checked his phone, he realized there was only an hour left until school started, so he didn’t examine it further.

At this point, another question came to mind: could he take all these items with him when he returned to the city?

With this in mind, he moved on to deal with the body of the young man in the brown robe.

He now had some experience. He used the Propulsion Technique to flip the body, and sure enough, he found six hidden pockets within the young man’s sleeve.

There was a bottle of elixir, two white stones, a foldable hand crossbow, and a manual for disciples of the Flying Needle Sect.

After opening the palm-sized needle box in the young man’s hand and retrieving the flying needles scattered all around, Chen Mobai contentedly brought over the items from the old man’s sack and piled them together.

Afterward, Chen Mobai processed the body using the stone door’s restrictions just as he did with the old man’s body. He used the set of spare robes from the old man as a cleaning cloth and wiped all the bloodstained areas within the Water Mansion.

He cleaned the blood stains on the tile in front of the side hall door from a distance using the Propulsion Technique, and he even collected the fish.

Once everything was tidy, Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment, just like when he had cleaned his own home.

He sat in the middle of the great hall, in front of the loot he had painstakingly collected.

The old man’s bag was bloody, and Chen Mobai, finding it ominous, didn’t use it. He took off his own shirt, spread it on the tiles, and proceeded to place the items on it one by one.

The last items he touched were those two white stones. The gentle, pure spiritual energy flowed from the stones into his palm, flowed along his Energy Channels, making him shiver involuntarily. He almost let out a satisfied cry.

“Could this be…a Spirit Stone?”

If all the previous items simply excited Chen Mobai, then these two white stones had completely unsettled him.

These stones were just like the gold of the previous civilization on Earth in the Immortal Sect—worth a fortune.

However, due to the resource scarcity on Earth, all the Spirit Stone mines had been thoroughly explored and excavated. Save for during wars, none of the Spirit Stone mines was allowed to be exploited.

Even so, according to the latest financial report of the Immortal Sect, the Earth’s Spirit Stone reserves were critically low.

If it weren’t for a genius in the Immortal Sect who invented a Technique two thousand years ago, which revitalized depleted Spirit Stones by infusing them with Spiritual Energy, returning them to 80% of their original unused state, the Good Deed Point system of Immortal Sect might have collapsed due to the lack of sufficient Spirit Stones to exchange.

Even so, only during wars did the Immortal Sect allow cultivators to exchange Good Deed Points for Spirit Stones at the bank.

One lower-grade Spirit Stone was worth ten thousand Good Deed Points.
