"Alright, let's hurry and go!"
A strong scent of elixirs still lingered in the air.
Ye Fei didn't want to linger either, so he urged them on.
However, before Ye Fei could move forward, one of the burrowing mice boldly blocked his path.
"Squeak squeak squeak."
The seemingly intelligent burrowing mouse held its front paws together and bowed human-like to Ye Fei.
Its watery, bean-like eyes remained fixed on the elixir in Ye Fei's hand.
"Little fellow, you certainly have guts!"
"Never mind, we're fated to meet. I'll give this elixir to you!"
Ye Fei immediately threw one of the top-grade Yangshen Elixirs to the still bowing burrowing mouse, and then left the cave with Shangguan Xue'er.
When they returned to where everyone was staying, Yang Si, who had been in a deep sleep, finally woke up.
"Ye Fei, you're finally back!"
"That's great!"
As for Shangguan Xue'er, who was following Ye Fei, her heart was also uneasy.
As a woman, she understood Yang Si's gaze towards Ye Fei all too well.
It was joy mixed with a hint of admiration.
However, although she was Ye Fei's nominal fiancée, she had no right to stop anything.
After thinking it through, Shangguan Xue'er no longer dwelled on it and sat down to rest with her eyes closed.
Ye Fei then handed an elixir to Yang Si, and seeing that she had taken it, he felt relieved.
Afterward, he also closed his eyes to rest.
Until the next day, as dawn broke, he felt his stomach grumbling loudly and decided to go out to find something to eat.
However, he had only been out for a short while when he heard a few hushed voices ahead.
"I wonder when this treasure will appear?"
"Did we get false information?"
"Even if it's false information, I still have to go!"
"What if it's true!"
"Then wouldn't we miss a great opportunity!"
"Don't you think so?"
Then someone else chimed in.
"You're right, since we're already here, waiting a day or two won't matter."
"Let's keep going to the right!"
"The time for them to say the treasure appears is very close, it's tonight."
"Let's go, let's go!"
Swish.
A group of people quickly left.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Fei pondered for a moment and finally decided to go and see the excitement.
Perhaps there really was a treasure?
Wouldn't he have missed out then?
Afterward, Ye Fei quickly found some food and rushed back to the cave.
When Ye Fei returned, everyone was already sitting in small groups chatting, and many others were preparing breakfast.
After putting down his prey, Ye Fei joined them.
After a hearty breakfast, everyone decided to return to their respective sects.
Because Ye Fei was concerned about the news he had heard, he parted ways with them.
Now that he was alone, his speed increased considerably.
Halfway there, Ye Fei encountered quite a few dust-covered people who had the same objective as him.
Finally, by evening, Ye Fei arrived near the destination.
When Ye Fei wanted to move forward, the area ahead was already packed with people, a sea of humanity.
Ye Fei gave up the idea of pushing forward and observed from a not-too-distant spot.
As Ye Fei waited, more and more bustling martial artists continued to arrive.
The scene was truly lively.
Ye Fei was standing in the outermost area, and the people around him were discussing enthusiastically.
"Look!"
"We definitely have no chance!"
"We rogue cultivators are no match for those big families."
"But I guess they'll have their own struggles."
Ye Fei also followed the gaze of the speaker and looked towards the very center of the destination.
He saw that on the outer edge of the rock face at the foot of the mountain, several families were confronting each other, unwilling to compromise.
It's actually him!
Ye Fei exclaimed inwardly.
He saw that one of the three parties confronting each other was Xiao Beiyu, who had previously had a falling out with Ye Fei.
He was dressed in a blue brocade robe, appearing spirited and confident.
Especially with the six guards behind him, all at the early stage of Qi Refining level six, he was even more smug.
"Your two families are not worthy to compete with me for this treasure!"
"I advise you to give up early!"
"Otherwise, if you get accidentally injured, it won't be good, don't you think?"
Xiao Beiyu said proudly.
"Hmph!"
"Don't be arrogant!"
"We're not afraid of you!"
"Although we don't have as many guards as you, we're not to be trifled with!"
The speaker was also a young master, followed by two guards at the peak of Qi Refining level five.
As for the remaining person in the three-way standoff, he was a smiling tiger. He said nothing, but a playful smile played on his lips.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
He was waiting for both sides to fight each other, and then he would reap the benefits.
"I'm not scared by threats!"
"I'll beat you until your teeth fall out!"
Xiao Beiyu retorted.
Just as he was about to continue his sarcastic remarks, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed, successfully shifting the attention.
He saw that a transparent barrier suddenly appeared on the rock face of the peak, and even more surprisingly, a refining cauldron with an ancient aura and exquisite design appeared within the barrier.
"My God, it's really a treasure!"
"Wonderful!"
"It's time for everyone to rely on their own abilities!"
The surrounding martial artists and alchemists went mad, especially the alchemists, whose eyes burned with desire, wishing they could have the refining cauldron in their hands the next moment.
However, Ye Fei was not so optimistic. Not only did the refining cauldron have a very powerful barrier on the outside, but it also had a treasure protection formation inside!
Breaking through this dual obstacle was not an easy task.
"I'll do it!"
Clang.
A martial artist behind Ye Fei suddenly leaped up and directly swung his sword towards the barrier.
"Ha!"
However, to everyone's shock, the man's attack hit the barrier without causing even a ripple!
"Ah!"
Instead, he was repelled by the barrier, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his throat, and then his entire body was sent flying uncontrollably.
With a bang, he fell to the ground.
Instantly, everyone covered their mouths in shock.

After all, this martial artist's cultivation had reached the middle stage of Qi Refining level five, which was already quite impressive.
But to end up seriously injured on the ground, wouldn't those with lower cultivation levels be seeking death?
In an instant, everyone hesitated.
