Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Chapter 109 An unexpected gain

The room was studded with arrows everywhere. If an ordinary person came here, he would be dead for sure.

The two men walked forward cautiously and soon arrived at the main gate of the treasury, which was made of a huge iron door.

Zhang Chen knocked on the iron door with his hand and felt that it was quite thick, so he swung the magic sword in his hand and sent out several sword beams, which slashed on the iron door, leaving a deep mark.

After swinging out more than a dozen sword beams, Zhang Chen took out a pill and sat cross-legged to replenish his spiritual energy. The iron gate was covered with deep marks, but there was no sign of penetration.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was replenishing his spiritual energy, Sima Feng took out his mace and hammered the iron door hard. Each strike made a strong and harsh sound.

After hammering for a full hour, the iron door was covered with dents, but it still could not be opened. He was exhausted, panting, and sweating, and sat down with Zhang Chen.

"I'll leave it to you." After saying that, he lay down on the ground and took a rest.

After replenishing his spiritual energy, Zhang Chen continued to swing his sword at the iron gate. Finally, with the superposition of more than a dozen sword beams, he directly pierced through the iron gate. Then, under Sima Feng's hammering, a big hole soon appeared.

Through the big hole, Zhang Chen saw the situation inside: dozens of boxes and several rows of shelves filled with priceless treasures. The prince and several soldiers were in a corner, looking at the hole with pale faces.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng quickly entered the treasury through the cave and walked up to those people.

Several soldiers protected the prince behind them, holding steel knives in their hands, looking at Zhang Chen and Sima Feng in front of them with fear.

"Who the hell are you?"

Xiao Ta looked at the two of them and asked even though he was full of worry.

"We are the Black Wind Twins from the State of Zhao. We have no choice but to borrow some resources from you, my rich prince."

Zhang Chen laughed oddly, trying his best to make his voice sound older.

"I am just a secular prince. I don't have any resources for cultivation. However, there are some aged medicinal herbs on the innermost shelf. Consider them as a gift to you two."

Xiao Ta pointed to the shelf closest to the wall, where there were several boxes.

"I heard you are sixty years old?"

Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Ta's face and suddenly asked.

"this…"

Xiao Ta knew what Zhang Chen meant by asking this and became a little hesitant.

Looking at his expression, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at each other and knew that his guess must be correct.

"Have you practiced the Joy Technique?"

Zhang Chen asked again.

"What is the Joy Technique? I have never seen it before."

Xiao Ta answered quickly, as if Zhang Chen would ask this question.

"Then why do you look so young?"

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold voice.

Xiao Ta's eyes dodged and he did not answer immediately. He seemed to know the purpose of the two people's visit. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Our royal family has some methods to maintain youth. If you two immortal masters need it, I can tell them."

"Humph, you still dare to quibble. Judging from your behavior, you must have harmed a lot of people."

Sima Feng's face was gloomy. He took out a mace from his storage bag and walked towards the few people.

"What are you going to do? You are cultivators, you must know Qingyu Sect, right? There are members of our royal family in Qingyu Sect."

When Xiao Ta saw Sima Feng approaching with murderous intent, he was a little panicked and had to move out of Qingyu Gate.

But Sima Feng didn't react at all. He slowly approached the men, swung his mace, and knocked down several guards around Xiao Ta to the ground. Then he looked at Xiao Ta.

"Don't...don't come over here."

Xiao Ta watched Sima Feng approaching him, feeling terrified. He looked at Sima Feng holding up his mace and said quickly:

"Don't do it. I'll tell you a secret. Just don't kill me."

"Tsk, you're just an ordinary person, what secrets can you have?"

Sima Feng looked indifferent, he knew that Xiao Ta practiced the Joy Technique and he hated him to the core and was ready to kill him as soon as possible.

"I know the address of a spirit stone mine, which has not been discovered by others yet."

Seeing that the mace was about to hit him, Xiao Ta finally told everyone what he knew.

"what?"

Zhang Chen was shocked. The spirit stone mine was the foundation of the sect. The Qingyu Sect was built next to a spirit stone mine.

"Do you know what a spirit stone is?"

Zhang Chen came to Xiao Ta and looked at him coldly.

"You'll find out if you open that box over there."

Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't believe it, Xiao Ta pointed to a small box on the shelf over there with a lock on it. Zhang Chen walked to the box, broke the lock with his hands, and then opened the small box.

There was a fist-sized stone in the box. It didn't seem to have anything strange about it. He took it in his hand and felt it closely. There was indeed a trace of spiritual energy coming out. If he hadn't deliberately sensed it, he would not have been able to detect it. Zhang Chen's face lit up with joy. He put the stone on the ground and chopped it with his magic sword. The stone broke into two, revealing the crystal clear spiritual stone inside. At the same time, a strong spiritual energy emanated from it.

“It’s really a spiritual stone.”

Zhang Chen picked up the spirit stone, used magic to absorb it, and felt his dantian constantly filling up, and he was extremely happy.

Then Zhang Chen put away the spirit stone, came to Xiao Ta's side, stared at him intently and said:

"Did you dig this out from the spirit stone mine?"

"As long as you let me go, I will tell you."

Xiao Ta didn't dare to look directly at the two of them and spoke tremblingly.

Sima Feng grabbed Xiao Ta's shoulders and exerted force with both hands. The bones on Xiao Ta's shoulders crackled and Xiao Ta immediately screamed, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his forehead.

"Tell us the address, and I can make your death quicker. Otherwise, I have many ways to make you want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot."

"Just kill me, ah...ah."

Xiao Ta kept screaming but refused to let go. Finally, Sima Feng broke his shoulder blade and Xiao Ta fainted from the pain.

"What should we do? Judging from his appearance, he won't tell us anything. Why not just kill him?"

Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen, feeling helpless.

"He's a smart man. He knows we won't let him go if he tells us."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he searched around and found more than a dozen boxes of gold, some rare treasures, and several boxes of hundreds of years old medicinal materials in the treasury. There was only one raw spiritual stone.

Later, he found some jade seals, dragon thrones and dragon robes in the corner, which were things that only the emperor could use. Zhang Chen then realized that this prince actually wanted to be the emperor. It must be because the Zerg launched a war and interrupted his plan.

If there had not been this war, if he had reported the information about the spirit stone mine to Qing Yumen, he might have really been able to become emperor.

Just as Zhang Chen finished his investigation and was about to go out, he passed a place and felt something wrong under his feet. The ground in other places was made of molten iron with no gaps, but this place was loose and obviously not connected.

Zhang Chen looked at it from the side and saw two rings, so he pulled upwards with his hands. An iron plate weighing several hundred kilograms and one meter long and one meter wide was lifted up, revealing a space.

Zhang Chen's face lit up with joy. He glanced at Sima Feng and jumped down. The space below was not big, only about five meters square, with only one shelf inside. The shelf was filled with some booklets. Zhang Chen opened one and saw that it described the life and hobbies of a certain general, as well as evidence of corruption and abuse of power. Zhang Chen lost interest and continued to look at it. He was soon attracted by the only brocade box on the shelf. He opened it and saw that it was a parchment map.

After seeing clearly what was above, Zhang Chen's breathing became rapid and his face became full of ecstasy.
