Top-class Bodyguard

Ren Feng, Long Yue, and a few experts from the Dragon Domain stepped into the second courtyard, and like them, many other skilled warriors also chose this path.

As for the other experts, they surged towards the room on the right side.

Upon entering the second courtyard, the scenery changed drastically. In front, there was a rock garden, followed by a winding corridor like a nine-turn gallery, beneath which was a pond.

Everyone entered and looked around, puzzled by the peculiar appearance of this courtyard, which seemed to have nothing at first glance. Yet, courtyards appeared on both the left and right sides, resembling the western and eastern wings.

Many experts lit up with excitement upon seeing the rooms while others spread out to search the courtyard, checking for any treasures.

Ren Feng's gaze was calm as he steadily landed at the corridor's end, leading to the backyard.

As they stepped onto the corridor, an expert standing beside the rock garden noticed mushrooms growing vigorously on it. He frowned slightly and reached out to grab them.

The mushrooms were uprooted, and after he examined them carefully, his eyes suddenly filled with ecstasy.

"My heavens, this is actually a hundred-year-old reishi! The potency is rich! My God, there are reishi here. Even using them casually for refining medicine would increase the efficacy by several degrees!"

He was practically delirious with excitement, for around the rock garden, more reishi were growing abundantly.

Hearing this, several other experts also flew over, grabbing a few reishi without hesitation and storing them in their pouches.

Among the magical treasures of the earth, some treasures do not require refining; consuming them directly has an effect, and there are no side effects. If taken when injured, reishi is comparable to top-grade elixirs.

Such treasures are absolute gems; yet here, they were growing wildly like common cabbages, right next to the rock garden, which was simply unbelievable!

However, considering this place is a relic, it's not so surprising as many things from the Ancient Era differ vastly from the modern day.

The reishi were quickly divided up, and some experts then turned their gaze to the stones of the rock garden, pulling out their weapons to smash it forcefully.

Boom!

A deafening sound resonated, and the stone skin of the rock garden peeled off, revealing a massive, naturally shimmering, yellow stone inside, like a giant nugget.

"Too Yellow Stone? And a whole chunk of it? My God!"

The surrounding experts almost went insane. Incorporating Too Yellow Stone into crafting would enhance the artifacts by several more levels.

"I wonder if there's Too Yellow Essence inside!"

An expert's eyes flashed with excitement, yet recalling that his weapon couldn't break the Too Yellow Stone, he sighed instead, certain that the essence was at the core of this massive chunk.

However, this thing was unattainable; such a huge piece couldn't possibly be taken away.

The other experts hurried into the surrounding wings, entering the rooms to search for magical artifacts.

After the earlier incidents in the room, they no longer underestimated any ordinary item. If the doors could be dismantled, they would do so!

To the left, several experts dashed into the courtyard, which resembled a small three-story compound. Some burst into the rooms on the first floor, while others leaped onto the second floor, found a room, and pushed it open!

Among them was Modo, who entered a seemingly empty room. On the table in the middle was an oil lamp, which he grabbed without hesitation.

Upon feeling it, a small flame flickered from the oil lamp, and Modo's face lit up with joy.

A superb magical artifact!

Elsewhere, several experts burst into the same room, where a piece of calligraphy hung on the wall. Without thinking, they dashed towards the artwork.

Two of them grabbed the piece simultaneously and pulled it fiercely in their direction.

As the calligraphy was tugged, the other two started attacking them relentlessly.

"Put it down!"

The fighters commanded loudly, but the two holding the artwork would not release their grip, using one hand to strike at the others!

The room became a scene of chaos. Despite their intense fight, the structures remained unharmed, with the wooden windows and doors intact.

Amid the melee, one fighter fell to the attack of two others, collapsing onto the floor, while the remaining three continued fighting. Suddenly, the fallen expert grabbed one attacker's ankle, causing him to pause and get hit by the other two.

"You…"

The expert struggled to believe what was happening, but fell to the ground.

The remaining two continued their struggle, but in the next moment, the two bodies on the ground sprang up to ambush them, catching them off guard.

"What's going on?"

They hadn't yet reacted when another cold gleam from outside pierced the throats of the two.

Anish walked in with a cold sneer, seizing the artwork.

This kind of murder and treasure-stealing scene played out repeatedly in the compound within moments.

Meanwhile, Ren Feng and some other experts stepped onto the long, twisting corridor, with a lotus pond below. Lotus leaves spread over the water, and even goldfish could be seen swimming beneath.

Elder Mu Han's gaze swept over the water surface, suddenly speaking: "Look at that lotus flower in the center of the water."

Ren Feng looked over and saw a lotus bloom on the water surface, with a small lotus pod at its center.

"In this whole lotus pond, is there only this one lotus pod?" A Dragon Domain expert asked in confusion.

As soon as he spoke, several experts not far behind sprang towards the pond's center!

Ren Feng did the same, slashing forward with the Heaven-Slaying Sword!

The fierce sword qi forced opponents back mid-air, while he barely touched the water, leaping towards the lotus to grab it!

The two around him suddenly flipped, stepping on lotus leaves on the water's surface, racing forward again.

One of them shook his sleeve, sending a series of poisoned darts flying at Ren Feng!

But at that moment, Ren Feng had already grasped the stalk, yanking it upward into his hand.
