Chapter 582: Chapter 243: Three Letters, A False Alarm

"What incredible Escape Speed!"

Sun Haoyi exclaimed again, watching as Xiao Chen’s figure rapidly vanished over the horizon.

"I know, right? I never would have thought Elder Xiao possessed such profound Divine Techniques."

Sun Haoran sighed with emotion, then added pointedly, "Father was right. It’s always best to be kind to others when you’re away from home."

"If Xiao hadn’t stepped in to help us this time..."

But he stopped halfway through. His expression suddenly turned serious as he changed the subject and instructed them, "You all heard what Elder Xiao just said."

"We must never forget that he saved our lives."

"But since Elder Xiao doesn’t want anyone to know about this, you must remember not to leak what happened today."

"Even if the Wang Family comes looking for answers, just put all the blame on me."

Sun Haoyi nodded emphatically. "You’re absolutely right, Second Brother. I’ll remember."

She was secretly relieved. ’Thank goodness Second Brother took out our family’s Secret Map earlier to give Elder Xiao the correct location.’

’Because of that, we established a good relationship, and in return, he saved our lives.’

Hearing this, Sun Haize’s face immediately flushed red, and he hurriedly agreed, "Me too."

When he heard the phrase ’be kind to others,’ he was instantly reminded of his own absurd thoughts from before.

A wave of fear washed over him.

’Thank goodness I didn’t try to provoke Elder Xiao back then. Otherwise, we probably would have met our doom long before the Wang Family even got a chance to act.’

That same sentence left the two of them with a myriad of different feelings.

Afterward, the three returned to their ship to meditate and recover their energy. They then set off to escort the Secret Manual back to their family’s island.

However, what happened next had nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

He flew south for twenty thousand li, found a deserted island to use as a temporary base, and began the Refinement of the Storage Rings he had just acquired.

’Whoa, they were offered a hefty sum.’

After taking inventory, Xiao Chen found that the Storage Rings of the three Wang Family members only contained a combined total of just over 116,000 Spirit Stones.

The three Tribulation Cultivators, however, had a whopping 437,000-plus Spirit Stones, 300,000 of which were neatly arranged in several dozen large chests.

But the Tribulation Cultivators only had a large quantity of Spirit Stones.

Excluding the four Spiritual Artifacts damaged in the fight, the three of them only had three intact Spiritual Artifacts left between them.

In terms of both quantity and quality, their items couldn’t compare to the six remaining Spiritual Artifacts from the Wang Family.

Other items also showed that these Tribulation Cultivators didn’t have much of value.

A few ordinary Talismans, two bottles of common Elixirs, and some miscellaneous junk.

It was a far cry from the Wang Family members, who each had over ten assorted Talismans and had prepared sixteen bottles of Spirit Pills of six different types.

Among them was a uniquely shaped jade bottle, which stood out from the other Elixirs at a single glance.

Xiao Chen immediately opened it to inspect. "Huh, they even had a Youthful Appearance Pill."

He had seen it in illustrated books before and heard that one of these things could sell for twenty thousand Spirit Stones, but this was the first time he had seen one in person.

After taking it out and examining it carefully, he planned to put the Youthful Appearance Pill into his Miscellaneous Ring.

Xiao Chen currently had three Storage Rings.

The Vast Sea Ring held his most frequently used and most important Spiritual Objects.

The Miscellaneous Ring he had acquired before was specifically for junk he didn’t need and planned to sell for Spirit Stones when he got the chance.

And the third he kept specially for holding Witchcraft Artifacts.

’Maybe I should keep this one instead of selling it?’

Just as he put the Youthful Appearance Pill into the Miscellaneous Ring, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of Su Li. This thing would make a good gift for her.

So, he moved it again, placing it into his Vast Sea Ring.

The three from the Wang Family hadn’t been carrying any Secret Manuals. The three Tribulation Cultivators, on the other hand, had a handwritten copy of an Earth Level Magic manual on them.

Xiao Chen gave it a cursory flip-through. It was a sloppily written Poison Manual.

More junk.

Besides that, there were a total of seven Array Flags, three letters, a painted scroll, and a Spirit Storage Box.

Although he had read the Array Dao Introduction and could be considered to have dabbled a bit in the Array Dao, his knowledge was, after all, only at the Entry Level and quite limited in scope.

Therefore, Xiao Chen still knew very little about Array Flags and could only tell that these ones were likely part of some large-scale Array.

Six of the seven Array Flags were bright and lustrous, practically glowing. It was obvious they had been newly refined.

Only one was dull in color, with some signs of wear on its surface. It looked like it had been used for many years.

He reasonably deduced that these must be custom-made Array Flags for the Wang Family. Now that they were all lost, it would probably have a direct impact on the operation of that Grand Array.

But that had nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

He only lamented that such custom Array Flags, not being a complete set, would probably be hard to sell.

So he casually picked up the letters, intending to see if they held any clues.

The first letter was a greeting from a certain Elder of the Clarity Sect to the Wang Family Patriarch.

When he unfolded the letter, he saw neat handwriting full of pleasantries, with nothing of substance.

However, reading between the lines, Xiao Chen could tell that the other party seemed to be trying to win over the Wang Family, wanting to "drink and chat merrily" and "discuss opportunities in person."

From this, he could infer that the Wang Family was likely some Hidden Clan with certain ties to the Clarity Sect.

It seemed they had a formidable background. The Wang Family might even have a Nascent Soul ancestor.

But that didn’t matter. First of all, this matter should remain a secret.

Secondly, it wouldn’t be long before Xiao Chen could begin his own breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

If everything went smoothly, in three to five years, he too could attempt to reach the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
