Chapter 298 Chamber of Secrets (Part II)

Lei Xingfeng began to pick up the fragments on the ground and carefully counted them. There were a total of nine heads of the Iron Puppet Beasts. In other words, Wu Yang had been attacked by the nine Puppet Beasts when he entered.

When Lei Xingfeng finished picking up all the fragments on the ground and saw Wu Yang and the others had gathered together to discuss, he walked over.

Wu Yang saw Lei Xingfeng coming over and smiled, “Feng, can you find another entrance? It seems like there’s only one hall here. We searched around but we didn’t find any passageways.”

Lazi was obviously a little depressed. He found the secret room, but there was nothing in it. There was only one silver-ranked puppet beast and nine steel puppet beasts. He did not believe that there were so many powerful puppet beasts guarding it, but there was nothing inside. This was completely incomprehensible, but he could not find any traces of it even if he tried his best.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Grandmaster, I’m not omnipotent. Let’s look for it together.”

The five of them began to search again. They searched and knocked every inch. In the end, they finally despaired. Indeed, there were no traces. Lei Xingfeng knew that no matter how advanced the technology was, it was impossible for there to be no traces. In the end, he said, “I guess this is really a hall. There are no other secret chambers.”

Lazi howled and said, “I’m miserable!”

Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, “Martial Uncle Lazi, why did you say that?”

Lazi scratched his head in distress. After a while, he said, “I used all the sealing rings that I had accumulated in recent years to get this chance. Damn it, it was because I always thought that this secret room had treasures and was prepared to make a fortune … Sigh, this is going to be miserable, miserable!”

Lei Xingfeng was puzzled, “Martial Uncle Lazi, even if you can’t get anything, at most you’ll lose a bit of the seal ring. If you can find something else, you can still supplement it a bit. Isn’t it that miserable?”

Lazi shook his head and said, “You don’t know that I borrowed a lot of sealing rings to buy this opportunity to come in. Sigh, if I hadn’t expected too much from this secret room, I wouldn’t have been so wrong.”

‘”Buy this opportunity?” Lei Xingfeng couldn’t understand.

Gu Qi explained, “Feng, normally when Daojun opens the secret space-time door, one or two spots will be auctioned. The rest will be digested internally, either by our own people or by the quota set earlier. Your Martial Uncle Lazi, it is estimated that the quota will be auctioned …”

Feng Chen Sect was also curious, and said, “Senior Brother Lazi, you can also obtain this place at auction? How many sealing rings did you spend on this spot?”

Lazi smiled bitterly and said, “170,000 Seal Rings!”

Lei Xingfeng cried out in fright, “170,000 seals! This, this is too exaggerated!”

Wu Yang was also a bit surprised. He said, “I’ve seen this kind of auction before. Even if I get a spot, it won’t cost that much. Normally, fifty to sixty thousand sealing rings would be enough to last until the heavens. No matter how much it is … it’s impossible to return the original. How could you spend so much sealing rings?”

Lazi’s face was full of bitterness as he said, “There was a fellow who deliberately raised his price. It’s also my fault … I really wanted to get this spot, but that fellow tricked me.”

Everyone was stunned. After a while, Wu Yang said, “Aren’t you usually smart? Why are you so stupid this time?”

Lazi said, “Hurry up, alas, forget it, it’s too depressing.”

Wu Yang said, “Alright, since that’s the case, let’s go up.”

When the five of them returned to the hut above, Lei Xingfeng was the last to come out. He said, “Such a long staircase, it made my head spin. Haha.” Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in his heart, and he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Wu Yang noticed Lei Xingfeng’s dull expression and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lei Xingfeng was gently patted by Wu Yang and suddenly came to his senses. He said, “I don’t know if what I said is right …”

Wu Yang said, “What do you mean?”

Lei Xingfeng said faintly, “We seem to have overlooked a place!”

“What did we overlook? We searched the hall and confirmed that there could be no secret room or passageway. What else would we overlook?” Lazi asked in surprise.

Lei Xingfeng said indifferently, “I don’t know if my guess is correct, but there’s one place we haven’t searched, and that’s the corner of the stairs!” At this moment, he remembered the buildings of his previous life. The corners of every staircase were usually the doors of several families. There were nine corners on the stairs of this secret room. This was what they had overlooked.

Wu Yang said happily, “That’s right! Haha, Feng is still careful!”

Lazi slapped his thigh and said, “That’s right, we’re only looking at the last hall, but if there’s a secret room or passageway around the corner, we’ll really ignore it. Ah, I’m an idiot! Let’s go!”

The five of them returned and went down the stairs. Soon, they arrived at the first corner and began to examine it carefully.

There was nothing at the first corner, and nothing at the second corner. Finally, there was something at the fifth corner. It was a very secret entrance. If one did not carefully observe it, it would be impossible for them to be discovered. The five of them stood there excitedly and finally found their clue.

After exhausting all his means, he was unable to open the door to the secret room. Wu Yang shook his head and said, “Forget it, it’s better to open the door by force.”

Everyone nodded helplessly. Opening the door by force had many disadvantages. It was very likely that the items behind the door would be damaged. However, it was better than not being able to open it. This task was given to Wu Yang. He was the strongest here, and only he had the chance to break through the door.

After leaving the afternoon sun, everyone else retreated to a corner and waited.

Hearing the rumbling sounds below, the entire secret passageway trembled non-stop.

A very clear click came, and Gu Qi laughed, “It seems to be on!”

Wu Yang said, “Come down.”

Everyone quickly ran down and saw that the door to the secret room had been broken open. There was still a passage behind it, but it extended out horizontally.

This was a small suite. There was a very large platform in the outer room. There were all sorts of instruments on it. Most of them were made of various kinds of utensils. It was unknown what they were made of. Lei Xingfeng knew that it was definitely not made of crystal or glass, but it was similar to glass. With a single glance, he recognized that this was a tool for dispensing potions.

After Lazi entered, he was like a deflated ball of skin and wailed, “Damn, why is it a potion dispensing instrument! It’s also a low-level potion dispensing instrument!”

Lei Xingfeng whispered, “Master, isn’t this worth anything?”

‘”It’s not that it’s worthless. It’s that only certain people can use it. Even if we get it, it’s useless. Concocting potions requires talent. And, who does it sell it to? No one will want it.” Gu Qi said.

The room was clean and spotless. There was a row of shelves inside. There were some boxes on them. There were about a dozen boxes. They were very simple wooden boxes. Lei Xingfeng could tell at a glance that they were made of lacquer ebony.

Wu Yang picked up a box and opened it. There were five potions in a neat row. No matter how well sealed the potions were, there was only a small amount of concentrated liquid left inside. In other words, the potions left behind were completely useless. Of course, boxes and potion bottles could still be used after cleaning. After all, they were items used in ancient times.

Lazi said with a smelly face, “Which one of you wants? Just show me some sealing rings. I don’t want any more.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “I want it, I want it!”

Lazi was puzzled, “What are you doing? You don’t know how to concoct potions.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “My little sister is learning how to concoct potions. This is the most appropriate gift.”

Wu Yang said, “Feng, give me 200 sealing rings. These are all yours.”

Lei Xingfeng agreed and went forward to collect it without hesitation. This kind of well-made equipment could not be found outside. Two hundred sealing rings were already very cheap.

Wu Yang didn’t want the two hundred rings, and neither did Gu Qi. He directly replenished Lazi and Feng Chenzong with a hundred rings each.

Lazi was also heavily indebted, so his eyes narrowed. It was better than nothing to get a hundred rings. He put away the rings and said, “I don’t believe it. This is the only secret room.”

Indeed, he found another secret room. This secret room almost made Lazi vomit blood.

This secret room was a bedroom. Furthermore, it was very small. There was only a simple bed and a very small table. There was nothing left. The bedding on the bed shattered into powder with a light touch. It was too old. As for the table, it was obvious that there were no drawers at a glance. Under the simple table, there were only four legs.

‘”Damn it, this guy is a poor guy, even if he piles up a few sealing rings! Damn it!” Lazi complained.

Wu Yang said, “It’s fine. You still have time to explore. Perhaps you can find something valuable.”

The others didn’t think so. One had to know that the debt Lazi owed was truly frightening. It was close to 200,000 seals. How could this be repaid?

Returning to the room on the ground, Lazi said, “I’ll leave first. Sigh, unless I can hunt down a Star Beast, I might be able to pay my debts!”

Wu Yang shook his head and said, “Forget about the Star Beast. Let’s look for something else.”

Lazi rolled his eyes and said, “Martial Uncle, do you want to explore the interior of the forbidden area? Haha.”

Wu Yang couldn’t help but slap him and say, “Are you looking for death?”

Lazi shrunk his neck and said, “You may not be courting death. Haha, I know a shortcut to enter. If you can get a little closer to the inner circle of the forbidden area, you might get some harvest.” He tried his best to tempt her, because he knew very well in his heart that even if he was busy to death, he might not be able to gather enough sealing rings. He had to pull Wu Yang along to have a glimmer of hope.

Wu Yang scolded with a smile, “Bastard brat, do you want to drag me into the water?”

‘”How dare I, how dare I, Senior Martial Uncle? This is also an opportunity. No, I discovered this shortcut, no one else knows about it, haha.” Lazi replied hurriedly, “How dare I, I don’t dare, Senior Martial Uncle. This is also an opportunity.”
