Just when Chu Tianchen was thinking secretly, Feng Nishang suddenly pointed to the bottom of the stone tablet and reminded: "Look there!"
Chu Tianchen looked closely and saw that the base of the stone tablet was cracked, and a hidden grid was vaguely visible.
So he jumped under the stone tablet, stretched out his hand to open the gap, and took out a square stone.
Under the stone, there was indeed a square hidden compartment, inside which was placed a sandalwood box one foot long and wide.
The box is protected by a formation and has a bronze lock, with detailed and mysterious patterns carved on the surface.
Although neither Chu Tianchen nor Feng Nishang could see or guess what was in this box.
But judging from the appearance of the box, there must be some precious treasure inside.
"Is this the opportunity in the Wind Song Valley that Senior Li said?"
Chu Tianchen hugged the wooden box, returned to Feng Nishang, and asked doubtfully.
Feng Nishang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Chu Tianchen put the wooden box away and released his spiritual consciousness to extend around, exploring a thirty-mile radius.
He wanted to see if there were any other things or clues in the valley.
The result disappointed him.
After the Seven Star Lihuo Formation was destroyed, only the altar and the stone tablet were revealed, and nothing else.
"It looks like this is the only wooden box left."
Chu Tianchen withdrew his spiritual consciousness and said to Feng Nishang: "We have seen the beautiful scenery of Wind Song Valley, and we have also obtained the opportunity that Senior Li mentioned.
It’s time for us to leave, let’s go.”
Feng Nishang naturally had no objection and nodded calmly.
Then, Chu Tianchen turned around and left with her, flying in the direction from where he came.
Not long after flying out, Chu Tianchen saw a large piece of gold crystal embedded in the crystal-clear rock wall on the left side of the valley.
He flew over without hesitation, wielded the God-killing Sword to cut through the thick rock wall, and dug out the gold crystal that was as big as a house.
"Let's go." After putting the huge gold crystal into the ring, he continued on his way with a calm expression.
After walking a few miles, he discovered that there were many colorful gems scattered under the cliff on the right side of the valley, all of which were priceless materials for refining weapons.
"Well, Shuang Yue will definitely need it."
Chu Tianchen muttered something, then flew over, quickly swung the God-killing Sword, and dug up a lot of gems in just a few breaths.
This time, no matter how cold-hearted Feng Nishang was, she couldn't help but look sideways.
"Actually, if you need those resources and materials, just tell my grandpa and he will definitely give them to you."
Feng Nishang reminded her expressionlessly.
Chu Tianchen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't have the habit of getting something for nothing and reaching out to others. It's better to do it myself, and the things I get will be more practical."
Feng Nishang looked at him deeply and said nothing more.
Next, the two of them stopped while walking.
Whenever Chu Tianchen sees gems, ores and materials that he needs or that are priceless, he will stop and dig.
Feng Nishang stood aside quietly, watching him dig things.
There was no hint of impatience, nor was there any urging.
Exactly three quarters of an hour later, the two returned to the middle of the canyon and appeared under the bronze gate.
Lai Fu and Lai Cai had long since transformed into statues a hundred feet high and returned to squatting at the bottom of the valley.
Li Xianyun paced back and forth under the bronze gate with his hands behind his back, his expression relatively calm, but his eyes were full of worry.
Seeing Chu Tianchen and Feng Nishang appear, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to greet them.
"Oh, you two have figured it out!
The one-hour deadline is coming soon, why did you take so long?
Are you in any danger?"
Li Xianyun had a concerned expression on his face and looked at Chu Tianchen and Feng Nishang from head to toe, obviously checking whether they were injured.
Feng Nishang did not become suspicious, but shook her head and explained: "I encountered some small troubles, but Chu Tianchen protected me and the problems were solved."
Chu Tianchen said nothing and looked at Li Xianyun with a frown, a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
"This old man has been waiting for us here?
Did he not know anything about what happened in the canyon before?
Why don’t I believe it?”
If he hadn't seen the words his father left on the stone tablet, he would probably have believed it based on Li Xianyun's superb acting skills.
However, after seeing the words left by his father, he realized that Li Xianyun must have had ulterior motives in bringing him and Feng Nishang to Fengyin Valley.
Of course, even if Li Xianyun had any intentions, Chu Tianchen believed that he had no malicious intentions.
Seeing that Chu Tianchen and Feng Nishang were safe and sound, and that the problems had been solved, Li Xianyun felt relieved.
He looked at Chu Tianchen again, nodded with a smile and said: "You brat, you are so good at breaking the Seven-Star Lihuo Formation. I really saw you right.
Have you already obtained the things your father left behind?"
Chu Tianchen nodded and answered truthfully: "Father left a box behind, but it was sealed with a formation and locked.
Senior, do you know how to turn it on?"
Li Xianyun shook his head and explained: "That is the sealing formation set up by your father, how could I know?
Moreover, the things inside the box were given to your father by me back then.
He also broke through the Wind Song Valley and cracked the Seven Star Lihuo Formation.
But he didn't accept those things and left them in Wind Song Valley, saying that he would leave them to the destined ones..."
Mentioning this matter, Li Xianyun couldn't help but have a flash of regret in his eyes.
Chu Tianchen noticed the change in his expression and became more curious about the contents of the box.
"Senior, what did you leave to my father?"
Seeing that he wanted to ask more questions, Li Xianyun was afraid that he would get to the bottom of things, so he changed the subject.
"That box, you can study it slowly after you go back.
It’s getting late, we should go back and rest, let’s go.”
After saying that, Li Xianyun cast another spell to condense a cloud of white clouds, carrying him, Feng Nishang and Chu Tianchen to fly out of the canyon.
Not long after, the three of them left the Wind Song Valley and returned to the Yuxiao Sect.
After crossing two mountains and Weiran Lake, the three of them returned to the bamboo house courtyard by the lake.
Feng Nishang said goodbye to Li Xianyun, nodded to Chu Tianchen, and went back to the bamboo house on the right to rest.
Li Xianyun didn't say much, and quickly walked into the main room and closed the door.
Looking at his back, Chu Tianchen always felt that he seemed a little guilty, as if he was hiding something.
Since he refused to reveal it, Chu Tianchen had no choice but to go back to the bamboo house on the left and study the sandalwood box alone.
He sat on the bed, holding the sandalwood box in his hands, looking over and over.
He tried to release a ray of spiritual power into the wooden box, and immediately activated the sealing formation of the wooden box.
A layer of hazy green light enveloped the entire wooden box, exuding familiar spiritual energy fluctuations.
He frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't remember what the formation was.
So, he opened his True Spiritual Eyes and carefully observed the hazy green light.
After a while, he saw clearly the structure and context of the sealing formation, and he suddenly understood and smiled.
"It turns out to be the Xiao Wu Phase Formation. Did my father leave it to me on purpose?"
The Small Wu Phase Array is just a miniature imperial-level low-grade array.
Its power is not very powerful, and its level is not so high that it would make people flinch.
To the vast majority of emperor-level experts and formation masters, this formation is not worth mentioning.
However, this is a miniature formation created by Chu Changkong.
The main features are complex structure, flexible and changeable, and invisible and formless effects.
Even a master who has been immersed in the array for many years cannot hope to solve it in a short time.
This small phaseless formation has little lethality and is not suitable for combat.
Chu Changkong created this formation back then, which was used to make sand tables, storage boxes, or to seal smaller things.
Moreover, when he taught Chu Tianchen how to practice formations, he used the Xiao Wu Phase Formation the most.
He once said that as long as Chu Tianchen mastered the Xiao Wu Phase Formation proficiently and understood the 36,000 variations of this formation, he would be able to achieve attainments comparable to those of a master of the formation.
After all, Chu Tianchen has been smart and talented since he was a child, and he has the ability to draw inferences from one example and understand everything.
The young Chu Tianchen lived up to his father's expectations and mastered the Xiaowu Phase Formation at the age of only ten.
Later, his father was busy with various things and had no time to teach him how to practice.
He also concentrated on practicing martial arts and never used the Xiao Wu Phase Formation again.
So many years later, when Chu Tianchen encountered the Xiao Wu Phase Formation again, he failed to recognize it immediately.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
With anticipation, Chu Tianchen quickly used the magic technique, shooting out countless rays of spiritual light and pouring them into the hazy green light.
Suddenly, the small phaseless array accelerated its operation, and its internal structure and context changed rapidly.
After just three breaths, the Xiao Wu Phase Formation was closed by Chu Tianchen.
The hazy green light dissipated, and the sandalwood box that had been sealed for many years finally saw the light of day again.
A refreshing fragrance immediately emanated from the box.
The delicate, shiny brass lock on the box also darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and rust stains appeared.
Chu Tianchen pinched the brass lock and with a little force, he forced it open.
Then he opened the wooden box with great anticipation.
"Shua..."
A golden light lit up inside the wooden box, and a wave of spiritual power came out.
However, when Chu Tianchen saw what was in the box, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
There are no rare treasures or letters as imagined.
A very exquisite white robe with cloud patterns, neatly stacked in a wooden box.
The collar and cuffs of the white robe are embroidered with gold, exuding a golden light.
Next to it lay a palm-sized waistband and a belt inlaid with glass agate.
There is also a hand-embroidered mandarin duck playing in the water purse that exudes a light fragrance.
Chu Tianchen could tell at a glance that this set of exquisite clothes and purse were given to his father, Chu Changkong.
Moreover, it must be made by a woman with ingenuity.
He flipped through it again and saw a book made of gold foil placed under the white robe.
The golden book is not thick, with more than a thousand words engraved on it. It is a secret book of exercises called "Gui Xin He Yi Jue".
Chu Tianchen originally thought it was some magical secret technique or some kind of magical martial arts.
But after he took a rough look at it, he realized that he had been wrong.
It turns out that it is an excellent technique suitable for Taoist couples to practice together.
