My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

Cui Ying's eyes flickered slightly. If her memory was not mistaken, this flower branch was called Silver Crown Golden Branch.

This thing may look like a spiritual plant, but it is actually born from the gathering of the earth's true energy and has two great effects.

Firstly, if a cultivator infuses a wisp of magical power into its crown and then exhales it from the crown, this wisp of spiritual energy can then go to the object the cultivator is looking for.

However, the item sought must bear the traces of the cultivator himself and must not belong to someone else.

This miraculous effect perfectly matches the fact that Chu Ruoyu lost his magical artifact. Sun Yunliang took out the silver crown and golden branch, and resolving this trouble was not difficult.

But Cui Ying turned her gaze and looked the man up and down, thinking to herself that since he had such a spiritual object and clearly knew its effects, he couldn't possibly be unaware of anything else.

If the Silver Crown and Golden Branch only had the ability to find objects, how could it have made so many cultivators present hold their breath and concentrate?

This brings us to the second remarkable effect of this item: since it is formed from the spiritual energy of the earth's veins, it can be used to build a spiritual foundation for cultivators. However, even using it for foundation building would be an understatement of its profound mystery.

If the true evil of the earth veins can liquefy the mana of a Qi Refining cultivator, then this silver crown and golden branch can condense the mana within a Foundation Establishment cultivator into a gel-like substance.

This is the true power of the Silver Crown and Golden Branch, something even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage would covet!

Sun Yunliang dared to bring this out, so he must have had a backup plan.

Cui Ying's eyes flickered slightly as she recalled Lei Yi's words and suddenly understood Sun Yunliang's 'good intentions'.

While she was pondering this, Sun Yunliang briefly explained the item's remarkable ability to locate objects to Cui Ruoyu and the others:

"You can have the owner of that precious fan transfer a wisp of spiritual energy to this spiritual branch of mine. After a short while, this wisp of spiritual energy will drift toward the location of the precious fan."

Chu Ruoyu was skeptical, and before she could speak, Chu Nianwei, standing beside her, said with a fierce expression:

"That sounds too far-fetched. Why should we believe you?"

Sun Yunliang smiled slyly, his eyes sweeping across the crowd before landing on Cui Ying's side. He bowed respectfully to Lei Yi, who appeared beside her, and said:

"So Fellow Daoist Lei is also here. Would you mind being here to bear witness?"

Lei Yi clearly recognized the silver crown and golden branch, and his face showed great interest. Not knowing what he was going to do, he stepped forward and said, "Alright."

Then he looked at the Chu family members and said with a smile, "I am Lei Yi, the head of the Martial Arts Hall of Thundercloud City. I can vouch for this with my reputation. This thing does indeed have the miraculous effects that Fellow Daoist Sun mentioned."

With a Golden Core cultivator in charge, Thundercloud City is considered a large city, and its reputation is now renowned throughout Huichuan Prefecture. On the Crane Wing Ship, seven or eight out of ten cultivators know about this city.

Chu Ruoyu and the others had obviously met Lei Yi before, and seeing his statement, they gradually lowered their guard.

Sun Yunliang looked at these young men, his smile unchanged, and said:

"Now, we can ask the owner of that precious fan to transfer a wisp of magic power into it. After a short while, this wisp of spiritual energy will drift towards the location of the precious fan."

After he opened the jade cover, Chu Ruoyu took a deep breath, drew a wisp of magic power from his dantian, and poured it into the silver crown and golden branch.

In no time, the tips of the silver crown petals began to open slightly, and a wisp of silvery-white energy drifted out from within. It first circled around Chu Ruoyu three times before rising gracefully. Then, right before everyone's eyes, it flew out of the Crane Cloud Wing Ship and flew straight into the sea of ​​clouds, disappearing without a trace.

"Everyone saw it; the precious fan was indeed not on any of my brothers."

Sun Yunliang closed the jade box and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the Chu family members' anger flared up again. They first looked at Lei Yi, and seeing him nod in agreement, Chu Nianwei stepped forward furiously and shouted:

"The treasure is yours, and you decided what it would do! So the outcome is naturally up to you! What kind of logic is this?"

As he spoke, he lunged forward to snatch the jade box, shouting angrily, "I think this is a fake! You're all ganging up on us!"

Sun Yunliang was not as unreasonable as Chu Nianwei. He flipped his wrist and was about to put the jade box into his storage bag when he suddenly felt the whole place fall silent. A voice drifted in from all directions.

"Ignorant child, unable to recognize a treasure. Let's stop this farce here. All of you, come up and have a chat!"

The voice was deep and resonant, carrying boundless power.

Cui Ying frowned, thinking to herself that it must be a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator making a move. With that oppressive aura, no one dared to act rashly.

Sun Yunliang remained calm and composed. He glanced at Chu Nianwei, whose face had turned pale, and then led his three brothers to the upper room.

Once the main character left, the farce came to an end. The remaining cultivators were all full of doubt, some whispering to each other, others pointing and gesturing. What they were saying was naturally unknown to Cui.

The Chu family members were as if waking from a nightmare. Knowing that this matter had alarmed the important figures on the ship, they were all panicked and looked at Chu Ruoyu, who had the highest cultivation level, with hopeful eyes.

Cui Ying had no intention of staying any longer. She gave Lei Yi, who was deep in thought with a wink, turned around and walked towards the side room. As soon as she entered the middle side room, she saw Lei Yi following her. He transmitted his voice to Cui Ying:

"Unfortunately, our cultivation levels are insufficient, and we are powerless to touch such a treasure. We can only watch helplessly as others take it."

Cui Ying advised, "Once you get the treasure, you must be able to keep it safe. We are still far from the Qi Condensation Realm, and there may be even better spiritual treasures waiting for us then."

"Fellow Daoist Cui is indeed broad-minded."

Lei Yi's greed was fleeting; he quickly regained his composure and laughed:

“We cannot use this item, but our family has elders who need it. If we can offer it to the family, it will be a great achievement. Not only will we be free to browse through those martial arts manuals, but we can also take as many treasures as we want from the treasure pavilion.”

"Is someone from the main family about to break through to the Core Formation stage again?"

As Cui Ying exclaimed in surprise, Lei Yi immediately explained to her, "It's my uncle, Lei Wuxie."

At this point, he shook his head and sighed:

"Speaking of my uncle, a natural genius, he probably wouldn't even look at the spiritual treasures that the family provides for him."

"That's right."

Cui Ying smiled and said, "However, those four people were willing to show their silver crowns and golden branches today, so they must have had other plans. I suppose they came specifically for that person, right?"

She pointed her index finger upwards, aiming at the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who had made the move.

Lei Yi looked up in the direction she was pointing, and hesitated before saying:

"I don't know who that person is. However, Sun Yunliang and the other three are still in the late stage of Qi Refining, so they must know that they cannot keep such a treasure. They must be like me just now, intending to offer the treasure for profit."

As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance, both realizing that the Chu family members from Fengyu Mountain had suffered an undeserved calamity and had been taken advantage of.

Meanwhile, in the lower cabin of the Crane Cloud Wing Ship, the Chu family members were gathered together, still unaware of the truth, and had other urgent matters to attend to.

"What should we do? The Crimson Feather Flame Fan was a gift from our family elders, and it must be returned when we get home. Now it's just been lost without any explanation. We'll definitely be severely punished!"

The boy's voice trembled as he spoke, his face turning pale with fright as he recalled how his elders punished children who made mistakes.

A chubby boy next to him glanced at Chu Nianwei and said angrily:

"That's right, it's all Nianwei's fault! Brother Ruoyu had it safely stored in his storage bag, but you had to take it out and look at it! Now look what happened, the Crimson Feather Flowing Fire Fan is lost, let's go back and be punished together!"
