Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Entering the Treasure Pavilion

Lin Chen arrived at the eastern area of the Treasure Pavilion and, after observing the layout of the Scripture Pavilion, he discovered that although the four gates were interconnected, the Scripture Pavilion itself had multiple secret passages that could save time if one entered through different entrances.

After studying the eastern gate’s formation for a while, Lin Chen found an entrance and immediately went in.

Seeing this, other martial artists quickly followed suit. Lin Chen did not stop them, as the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion could not be monopolized by him alone. As long as they did not try to snatch them away, Lin Chen would not interfere.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Chen came to a great hall with three corridors leading to other rooms. The martial artists rushed into them like mad, each charging down a different corridor.

Lin Chen did not blindly follow them but instead released his Spiritual Sense to probe the area.

The other martial artists imitated him, but their Spiritual Senses were unable to penetrate the walls of the great hall and detect anything.

Only Lin Chen’s Spiritual Sense was able to clearly detect the magic treasures in various locations.

After probing with his Spiritual Sense, Lin Chen discovered a pathway and headed in that direction; the other three individuals also noticed Lin Chen’s movements and chose the same path.

These three were Wu Yan, Yang Hui, and Niu Dahei, who had previously competed for Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine in the center of the Medicine Garden.

Once inside the pathway, they found all the rooms to be empty, devoid of any magic treasures.

Niu Dahei grew impatient and began complaining. The others also felt disappointed, as they had all thought there would be treasures here.

Lin Chen felt puzzled because he had previously detected an unusual aura, but now the rooms were empty.

He suspected that some formation was concealing the treasures, deliberately misleading him.

So, Lin Chen delved deep into his Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron with his Spiritual Sense to ask Master Qingxu about the reason for the treasures’ disappearance within the Treasure Pavilion.

"To answer the young master, during the battle that year, which was a matter of life and death for the Qitian Sect, we spared no expense and unconditionally opened all the Sect’s magic treasures to all the disciples; and within the Treasure Pavilion, the treasures in the eastern area were the most powerful, so many disciples chose to use the treasures from within the eastern area,"

"What the young master mentioned likely resulted from the excessive consumption of the treasures in the Scripture Pavilion during that battle. When the Qitian Sect was annihilated, there were still some treasures left in the Sect that had not been completely depleted—there were definitely some remaining. The locations I am aware of..."

Master Qingxu responded to Lin Chen’s question without reservation, directly informing him of the locations of those treasures based on his memory.

Even though Lin Chen was currently plundering his once associated Sect, times had changed, and the Qitian Sect no longer existed. It made no sense for Master Qingxu to continue guarding those treasures. It would be better to exchange them for a favor from Lin Chen.

Hearing Master Qingxu’s words, Lin Chen immediately hurried to the room indicated by Master Qingxu.

The pathways were as complex as a maze. The other martial artists searched each room, afraid to miss any clue, but Lin Chen ran straight towards the target, as if he already knew the location of the treasures.

"Is this guy an idiot? I’ve never seen someone look for treasures like this before."

"Merely at the Fourth Level of the Reverting Void Realm and yet he made it this far, he must be relying on the magic treasure he carries. This guy must be from a major power’s family here to gain experience," one remarked.

"No wonder he’s so reckless; as if he could really find any treasures," another scoffed.

The crowd watched Lin Chen’s actions and sneered before continuing their search.

At this moment, Wu Yan, watching Lin Chen’s actions, felt extremely conflicted. Because of the previous fight over Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine in the Medicine Garden, he viewed Lin Chen differently from the other martial artists and thought that Lin Chen might truly know the whereabouts of the treasures.

But Wu Yan did not want to miss out on these rooms either. If he charged off like Lin Chen, other martial artists might find treasures in other rooms and he would be at a significant loss. After hesitating, Wu Yan still did not follow.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen’s figure slowly vanished from sight as he sprinted and turned corners through the pathways, soon arriving at a room.

The room looked very dilapidated with a damaged Shi Men. Without any hesitation, Lin Chen punched and broke open the door.

Upon opening the Shi Men, Lin Chen’s eyes brightened. He saw several stone shelves filled with bottles of elixirs. He did not open any bottles, but he recognized the scattered elixirs on the floor. They were Yun Ling Pills, and from their quality, they were actually Fourth-Grade
