C75 The Price of a Ladle of Water

However, there were no new abnormal signs for more than four hours. Even the light of the Formation Pattern had faded away. The Protectors beside him could tell that something was not right. He had to think even more deeply about it.

Of course, the Yuan Sect did not lack Spiritual Stones, but they were not brought here by a strong wind. They could not give them to anyone. They would throw them everywhere. That way, no matter how rich the family was, they would be destroyed.

"I know what you are hesitating about. I just don't believe that I can open the Void Tomb." Chen Fan sighed. He seemed helpless.

"However, the rules that I have persisted in for so many years cannot be broken. If I want to break the Formation Pattern, I must first get the reward. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it."

It was not easy for Chen Fan to seize the opportunity to demand an exorbitant price. Of course, he would not let it go so easily. Moreover, he had to get the Spiritual Stone first. Only then would he feel at ease.

He was already on guard against this kind of extraordinary strength. Especially in a tiger and wolf sect like the Yuan Sect. If he really foolishly opened the Void Tomb, something would happen after that.

At that time, they would have already obtained what they wanted. They would be able to come up with hundreds and thousands of excuses to decline. He would completely lose the initiative. Taking advantage of the fact that he still had an advantage now, he had to fight for it ahead of time.

"Of course. If you guys are really worried, you can ask Third Elder to help guarantee that he will be able to afford a mere twenty million Spiritual Stones."

Seeing these few old fellows still hesitating, Chen Fan cursed in his heart. He had no choice but to help them.

This was the upper echelon of the number one sect in the world, and even the peak experts of the entire continent. Chen Fa suddenly understood why the Cultivation Realm had declined. If this continued, they would follow the footsteps of the Qing Xuan Sect.

"Sect Leader, I think what Master Gu said is right. To be honest, all the hidden experts have their own quirks. They should be explained."

Clearly, the hope of opening the Void Tomb was right in front of them. Hu Mu's life could be decided in an instant. Any grandfather would be willing to stand up for Grandson.

At most, he would risk it all. The Third Elder would take out all his belongings and lick his face to borrow some more. He would be able to provide this reward.

"If anything unexpected happens, this old man is willing to bear all the consequences, including the loss of the Spiritual Stone."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the elders and protectors focused their eyes on the Third Elder. They were somewhat surprised by his decisiveness.

"Alright, then I'll let you down first."

A strange look flashed across Sect Leader's eyes. He did not know that Hu Mu was on the brink of death. He waved his hand and a protector immediately brought the Storage Bag over.

Just now, he was still muttering that he did not have so many medicinal Spiritual Stones. He took them out with a flip of his hand. Now, no one would care about these things.

When it was handed over to Chen Fan, the Third Elder's Dao Heart had originally not stirred up any waves for hundreds of years. Today, in these few short hours, it suddenly jumped up and down without stopping.

All of his wealth was placed on the Storage Bag. His palm was surging with brilliance. As long as Chen Fan made any move to escape, he would immediately receive a storm of attacks.

"Oh, not bad. Looks like you all are still very sincere. This old man will start right away."

After happily counting, Chen Fan stood up and continued to touch the stone door with his palm. The light from before appeared once again.

It quickly covered the entire stone door. A mysterious aura spread out along with it, exceeding the limits of anyone's knowledge. It had never been detected in the Sect.

All the hair guards were silent. They were just as stunned as before. All their doubts were shattered at this moment.

They had fooled these old fellows for more than four hours. It was time to add some bait to them.

"Go and get some water. Get the most ordinary underground water. Don't be contaminated by any spiritual aura."

Chen Fan's heart moved. This kind of opportunity was rare, so he decided to give it a big one.

"Quick, quick, go and find water!"

The Third Elder hastily spoke. Many disciples were ordered to wake up from their shock and turn around to get some water. Sect Leader raised his palm and condensed some cold qi in the air.

* Hua La! *

A water column appeared out of thin air and floated to Chen Fan's side. He could reach out with his hand.

"Are you humiliating this old man?"

Chen Fan opened his eyes wide and scolded Sect Leader. He didn't care who the number one figure in the Yuan Sect was. A simple stomp of his foot could cause an earthquake in the entire North Domain.

"This water element energy can even be used by those protectors. If it's really that simple, why would I need to instruct them?"

"Master Gu, please calm down. It's my fault."

Everyone, including the few great elders, took a deep breath. In their memories, Sect Leader had always been strong, and no one could make him lower his head.

But for the sake of successfully opening the Void Tomb, Sect Leader had no choice but to lower his stance. It was their fault for being unable to do such a small thing for several generations.

Time passed little by little. The water had not arrived yet, but Chen Fan was not in a hurry. He continued to leisurely sit down with his legs crossed. He saw that those light rays were about to disappear again.

"What's going on? Could it be that we can't even find a scoop of water in the Yuan Sect?"

Sect Leader's face couldn't hold it any longer. A few of the protectors moved out to check the situation.

In less than seven minutes, Someone immediately ran over and carried a large wooden bucket with great effort. It was swaying unsteadily, and indeed, it did not touch the slightest medicinal Spiritual Energy.

The core of the entire North Domain's earth veins. The concentration of spiritual energy within the Yuan Sect could be said to be the purest among all the transcendent powers. Who knew how much effort he had put in to get this bucket of cold water?

He had temporarily used spatial development to teleport himself thousands of miles away. Then, he had forcefully dug out a well and scooped it up. Only then did he discover that he had already penetrated into the Spiritual Energy while he was digging deep into the ground.

In the end, he found a farmer's house. After throwing down a few medicinal Spiritual Stones, he hurriedly penetrated through the void and returned to the Void Tomb's side.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that Sect Leader had one. It was really not easy to find proper underground water in the Yuan Sect. It was surrounded by spirit veins everywhere.

He picked up a handful of cold water from the wooden bucket casually. Countless eyes were focused on Chen Fan. They were worried that something would go wrong. They were even more curious about what he could do with this thing.

Gulp. Gulp. In front of all the higher-ups of the Yuan Sect, Chen Fan put the cold water into his mouth as if he was rinsing his mouth.

"Could it be that Master Gu is just thirsty?"

"Master is truly a master from the outside world. Even replenishing water for his body is so direct. This is a complete return to the original."

"Hehe, so we have misunderstood Master Gu. An expert like him should have left the mortal world a long time ago. Even if he is thirsty, he will only need a bit of moisture. He won't be contaminated by the aura of the mortal world."

In addition to being shocked, everyone couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. They didn't know what was going on, but they had heard that the living habits of some hidden experts were rather special.

Naturally, Chen Fan was also regarded as that kind of person. It was also in line with the identity that Nangong Yi had created for him.

"Pu!"

After that, Chen Fan directly spat out the countless number of gazes that were paying attention to him.

A stream of rinsing saliva evenly sprinkled on the stone door. His head even shook a few times, covering every part of his body.

Seeing this, everyone was in an uproar again. Many protectors all exploded.

"I knew that this old fellow was faking it. This is truly too excessive."

"We painstakingly protected him for such a long time, how can we let him be so impudent?"

"Be careful. This old bastard might be preparing to run away. I'm afraid that he was sent by the other Sect platoon to embarrass us on purpose."

The tone of the conversation changed so quickly. It was a sharp turn of 360 degrees. Just a moment ago, they were still praising Chen Fan, but the latter's actions could almost be seen as a provocation to the Yuan Sect.

When the saliva was spat out, nearly a hundred protectors of the Yuan Sect activated the Formation Pattern in their hands as fast as they could. In an instant, a bright light shone, faintly aiming at Chen Fan.

"How dare you!"

"You have committed a sin! The medicinal Void Tombs left behind by the Ancestral Master have been treated like this. Your crime is unforgivable!"

A few elderly voices shouted loudly. All of them were brimming with energy and looked as if their hair and beard were trembling. They looked like crazy old lions.

"Master Gu, what are you doing? Sheng Dong's afterlife, the most sacred place in my garden, no one is allowed to sully it!"

Sect Leader scolded in a deep voice. If he made any more reckless moves, he would immediately suppress it.

Chen Fan remained unmoved. He continued to operate the Heaven's Heart Mantra, not letting go of any chance to gather his anger.

So many elders and protectors were angered at the same time. In an instant, his Dantian was filled several times, and even his meridians had expanded a lot.

Just these ten breaths of time was comparable to a few months of bitter cultivation. Each of them had their own feelings, and they felt as good as they felt. In short, this trip was not in vain.

If he didn't take into account the feelings of these Expert From Yuan Sect and worry that they would really destroy him, Chen Fan would be so happy that he could even open his mouth wide to the back of his ear.

"What are you panicking for? There is no such thing as the Heavenly Jade Liquid that I have been brewing for a long time."

The hundreds of powerful protectors couldn't hold it in any longer. Just as they were about to kill this guy, their eyes were caught by the stone door.

Rumble rumble rumble!

After a series of muffled sounds, a large amount of light shot out, as well as an unprecedentedly powerful and profound pressure. The stone door gradually opened a gap.

Everyone held their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly. They stared at the stone door that was covered in dust and saw the light of day again. The surrounding Spell Formation was also activated.

Sect Leader and several elders stood at the front of the group. Each of them put their Spiritual Consciousness into the Void Tomb. They all saw Chen Fan push the stone door open with his arm.

Since the latter was fine, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, the Spiritual Beings inside were all rare and precious, and there wasn't anything sinister about them.

"Go and see what kind of background your Ancestral Master has. I'll leave it for you all. Don't forget that old man's purple-gold ginseng is fine."

Chen Fan clapped his hands. He wasn't stupid enough to be the first to run in.
