Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

Mu Yun ran very fast, its gaze sweeping clearly across the treasure vault before stopping in front of a row of multi-treasure shelves in the middle. It sniffed carefully for a while, then wriggled its round body into the bottom shelf, struggling to pull out an inconspicuous wooden box with its two short front paws. It then placed the box in front of Xu Lingguang, its ears twitching: "This!"

Then he followed the scent and darted off to another place.

Xu Lingguang picked up the box and found a fist-sized crystal inside, with what appeared to be flowing flames within.

He couldn't recognize what the crystal was, so he asked Dongyang Li and Chai Feng, "Do you two know it?"

Dongyang Li's face was filled with disbelief and surprise as he looked at Chai Feng and asked, "This is Phoenix Fire?!"

Chai Feng examined it carefully and said with certainty, "It is indeed the sealed Phoenix Fire."

Zhao Ling is the real Phoenix, and Xu Lingguang has already touched the real Phoenix. He didn't think the Phoenix Fire was that precious. Seeing that Chai Feng and Dong Yangli looked like they really wanted it but were too embarrassed to ask, he handed the Phoenix Fire over: "Take it if you can use it."

Dongyang Li was surprised. He was already grateful to Xu Lingguang for helping him choose treasures, and now Xu Lingguang was going to give up the Phoenix Fire. Although he was eager to hunt, he didn't have the nerve to do that.

He waved his hand repeatedly and said, "The Phoenix Fire is precious, you should keep it."

Xu Lingguang said, "I don't need this. I remember that the Fire Refining True Man cultivates Phoenix Fire, so this should be very useful to you, right?"

Seeing that Dongyang Li and Chai Feng kept refusing, he said frankly, "If we find something more precious later, it's mine. If not, and you really feel bad about it, how about you make up the difference in spirit stones? That way, no one will lose out too much."

Seeing that he had said that, and considering that he really couldn't bear to part with the Phoenix Fire, Dongyang Li didn't refuse and generously accepted it, saying, "Alright, after we've chosen the treasures, we'll check their value. If the Phoenix Fire is the most valuable, we'll give you some spirit stones to make up for it."

Even if it means going bankrupt, it's worth it.

For them, the phoenix fire was something they could only dream of.

As the three were talking, Mu Yun found two more boxes. One contained a piece of ordinary bamboo, and the other contained a small jar of snow-white sand.

Chai Feng recognized the second item: "This should be snow sand. Adding it during weapon refining can stably upgrade the grade of the magic weapon to the top-grade of the Heavenly Craftsmanship level."

Xu Lingguang examined the bamboo section closely: "What is this thing?"

Dongyang Li and Chai Feng looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating they didn't recognize each other.

However, Xu Lingguang still believed in Mu Yun's talent, so he kept it: "Then keep it for now, and we'll look at it later."

By this time, Mu Yun had already quickly completed a tour of the treasure vault and selected the last three treasures.

A piece of Five Elements Rock can be used to temper weapons of any attribute, upgrading the grade of magical artifacts to the highest level of Heavenly Craftsmanship. It can also enhance the attack and defense capabilities of the corresponding attribute, making it a top-grade material for weapon crafting.

A box contains ten dragon scales, which can be used to forge defensive magical artifacts. Defensive magical artifacts forged from dragon scales are more durable and harder to break than any other magical artifact, and can even withstand an attack from a Transcendent Realm expert.

There was also a piece of gray soil, just like the bamboo joint, which none of the three could recognize.

The Phoenix Fire was given to Dongyang Li, and the remaining five items were to be divided between Xu Lingguang and Chai Feng.

Chai Feng felt that Phoenix Fire had already taken advantage of Xu Lingguang, so he wanted the two treasures whose value was not apparent. After all, the remaining snow sand, five-element rock and dragon scales were all more precious than the last. Whether he kept them for his own use or put them up for auction, he would make a profit.

However, Xu Lingguang did not feel that he had been taken advantage of. He took the bamboo joint, gray soil and dragon scales, and gave the snow sand and Five Elements Rock to Chai Feng: "You should be able to use these two things, you can take them."

Seeing that Chai Feng seemed to disagree, he smiled and said, "I won't lose out by taking these. I'll use the dragon scales to refine defensive magic treasures; they're very useful. As for the other two... don't underestimate Mu Yun. He definitely won't choose anything that isn't valuable. Maybe these two, whose origins and uses are unclear, are actually the most valuable. Don't try to take them from me."

Seeing this, Chai Feng could no longer insist. He simply said that when they left, the elders of Cangfeng Sect would definitely check the registered items, and he should be able to find out what they were by glancing at the roster.

If it is indeed a priceless treasure, then they don't need to worry about Xu Lingguang being taken advantage of.

"If these two items are not as valuable as what we have chosen, we will replenish them with spirit stones."

Chai Feng said very sincerely, "It should have been Brother Guan who chose first. Brother Guan treats us as friends, but we shouldn't take too much advantage of him."

Xu Lingguang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine too."

He joked, "If these two items are the most valuable, I won't trade with you."

Dongyang Li laughed and urged, "Let's go, let's go out quickly, I can't wait to see their expressions."

Xu Lingguang picked up Muyun and tucked her into his clothes, and the three of them went out together.

The three of them spent less than ten minutes selecting treasures. When they came out, the elders of Cangfeng Sect looked relieved, clearly thinking that the three young men would not be able to find anything good in such a short time.

However, the smile that hadn't faded from his face changed instantly when he saw the treasures the three of them took out.

Xu Lingguang and the other two knew what was going on just by looking at his expression.

Dongyang Li said with a grin, "Elder Xiao, we've made our choice."

The three of them placed the six treasures in front of Elder Xiao, looking completely clueless as they randomly chose them.

When Elder Xiao reviewed them one by one, his beard trembled with heartache.

He was clearly trying his best to conceal his true intentions, pretending that these treasures were quite ordinary, while dawdling through the treasure vault catalog and repeatedly confirming, "Are you sure you've made your selections and won't change them?"

Dongyang Li feigned surprise: "Can't we change our choice if we haven't made a good one?"

Of course, they couldn't change them before, but the treasures the three of them chose were all more valuable than the last. Two of them were even things that he couldn't easily access. He just kept them in the treasure vault thinking that no one would recognize them, so he felt safe and secure.

After all, they haven't had any mishaps in all these years, and talking about it can show that Cangfengmen is open and generous.

Unlike Jiuzhuan Mountain Villa, which is stingy.

He never expected that these three people would be able to find these two treasures in such a hidden corner.

Elder Xiao took a deep breath and tried to put on a kind smile, saying, "The time is not up yet, the three young friends can naturally choose again."

Dongyang Li waved his hand and said, "Forget it, my eyes are getting tired. Let's just take these few. Anyway, there's nothing good to choose from."

Elder Xiao: "..."

The forced smile on his face almost crumbled, clearly showing that these three people were not only ignorant of the value of goods, but also extremely discerning!

Elder Xiao glared at the three of them, then said sarcastically, "I think your judgment is quite good."

Dongyang Li modestly replied, "That's all. It's just that your Cangfeng Sect has so many treasures that you can pick anything good even with your eyes closed."

While Elder Xiao was crossing out names in the treasure vault register, Dongyang Li glanced at it discreetly and memorized the names of all the treasures.

They recognized four of them correctly: Phoenix Fire, Snow Sand, Five Elements Stone, and Dragon Scale.

The remaining two I don't recognize are called Chaos Soil and Mountain and Sea Bamboo Heart.

These are all priceless and rare treasures; no wonder Elder Xiao is so distressed.

The three quickly exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and prepared to take their leave.

Elder Xiao clearly didn't want to say anything more to them. After crossing out his name from the treasure vault register, he flicked his sleeve and stormed off.

Meng Shuisheng, who had accompanied them, stayed behind.

He had been holding back for a long time, and now that Elder Xiao had finally left, he couldn't wait to step forward and stop the three of them, staring fiercely at Xu Lingguang and saying, "Hand over the things."

Xu Lingguang feigned ignorance: "What is it?"

Seeing that he was up to no good, Chai Feng and Dong Yangli exchanged a glance and stood protectively in front of Xu Lingguang, their expressions unfriendly.

Dongyang Li still smiled, but his tone was unfriendly: "You're blocking the way, move aside."

Knowing she was no match for the two of them combined, Meng Shuisheng's face twitched for a moment, but she could only forcefully suppress her displeasure: "I don't want to fight with you."

He then looked at Xu Lingguang, took a deep breath, and said, "Name your price. How many spirit stones do you want? Hand over the recording bead, and I guarantee I won't cause you any trouble in the future."

Since leaving Wenlingpo, he has been unable to eat or sleep properly for the past few days, and his dreams are filled with the scene of his mortal enemies seeing the bead.

Xu Lingguang didn't expect him to change his attitude today. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth: "Actually, I lied to you that day. There was no image-recording bead at all. It was just an ordinary bead."

But to everyone's surprise, Meng Shuisheng didn't believe him at all. She was convinced that Xu Lingguang wanted to keep the memory pearl as leverage to threaten her. She gritted her teeth in hatred and pointed at Xu Lingguang, saying, "I'll remember you. You'd better not fall into my hands in the future!"

Xu Lingguang: "..."

He initially felt it was inappropriate to threaten people with this, and he felt a little guilty and insecure.

But since he told the truth and Meng Shuisheng still didn't believe him, then he can't be blamed.
