Liu Ruoyan drew her sword and solemnly declared, her holy face filled with absolute seriousness.

After a moment, she returned to her usual self and looked at the other person apologetically, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

With Chu Qianqiu's promise, Liu Ruoyan finally felt relieved, but she still had a slightly diminished opinion of the disciples of the Lake Sword Sect.

Let's not talk about the female disciples for now, but the males seemed to have a strong dislike for him, as if they had an irreconcilable feud.

"Never mind, I'll take the things and leave quickly. I won't be able to come here again in the future."

Thinking this in his heart, he moved forward and finally arrived at the core area of the Lake Sword Sect, a spacious fairy pavilion located in the center of the lake.

The fairy pavilion was large, with misty clouds and a fragrant aura.

Pushing open the door, he was greeted by a man who was sipping tea, with sword-like eyebrows and a majestic demeanor.

Liu Ruoyan softly called out "father," and the man gradually stood up.

Chu Qianqiu could sense that this man was not young, but he still had the appearance of a young man, looking very youthful.

He nodded slightly as a sign of respect.

The man, on the other hand, took the initiative to stand up and politely invited him to sit down.

"You are the person who saved my daughter in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, right? My daughter suddenly returned home today, and I didn't know you were here. I didn't go out to greet you, which was really impolite."

"Master, you're being too polite. I'm just a nobody. How could I let you come out in person? It's my honor to be able to talk to you like this."

"That's not true. Saving a life is more valuable than building a seven-level pagoda. It's only right for me to be polite to you."

"Your name is Chu Qianqiu, right? I'm Liu Jiangnan. From now on, you can call me Brother Qianqiu, and you can call me Master Liu. If you encounter any difficulties, you can activate this jade pendant, and I will come to your aid."

During their conversation, Liu Jiangnan gave Chu Qianqiu a small jade pendant.

Chu Qianqiu accepted it without hesitation, and the two of them then sat down and chatted.

The elders left on their own, leaving only Liu Ruoyan listening attentively on the side.

When the two had finished talking, Liu Ruoyan finally spoke to her father, expressing her desire to take Chu Qianqiu to the Treasure Pavilion to collect treasures.

Her father readily agreed, his expression calm and composed.

"Come, I'll take you to our sect's Treasure Pavilion. You can freely choose the items there, take as many as you want."

Liu Ruoyan smiled lightly, and Liu Jiangnan, who was drinking tea on the side, suddenly choked on his tea, but he didn't object and reluctantly went along with it.

Chu Qianqiu was shocked by this. Looking at Liu Ruoyan's figure, he thought to himself that this person is really extravagant. The treasures that her father had painstakingly collected were actually allowed to be freely chosen by him. What should he say about her?

If he took everything, her father would definitely be furious!

This is too generous, she doesn't treat him as an outsider at all!

"Forget it... I'll just take a few items, and leave the rest for the cultivators of the Lake Sword Sect!"

"Hey, young friend, you're being too polite. You saved my daughter, so it's okay to take more!"

"Master is joking. If I take too much and don't use it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"Oh? That's true, that's true... Haha!"

Liu Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that this young man didn't really intend to empty his Treasure Pavilion, he felt a great sense of relief.

With a faint smile, the two of them left the fairy pavilion in the lake and headed towards the Treasure Pavilion on the other side.

...

Arriving at the location of the Treasure Pavilion, the first thing Chu Qianqiu saw was an exquisitely decorated building.

Underneath the building was an old man who seemed drowsy, keeping watch.

Liu Ruoyan greeted the old man, and he directly allowed the two of them to pass.

Chu Qianqiu carefully sensed the old man's cultivation level and realized that he was not ordinary.

Although he couldn't determine the other party's strength, the old man's every move and word revealed a casualness that was in stark contrast to the group of elders.

This was a sign of a master.

Often, it is these kinds of people who are the most terrifying existence within a sect.

He must be at least as powerful as the previous elders, if not even stronger.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Qianqiu quickly stopped thinking about this matter.

He was attracted by the dazzling treasures here.

He didn't expect the Hujian Sect to have so many treasures.

Among them, most of the weapons were displayed on the first floor of the building.

He wasn't very interested in weapons, so he went to the second floor to take a look.

The second floor was where some martial arts techniques were displayed.

The Zhenzong Sword Technique of the Hujian Sect could only be practiced by inner disciples, while outer disciples were not qualified to practice it.

Therefore, the second floor displayed some low-level martial arts, which were suitable for those outer disciples to browse.

He still wasn't interested in this kind of low-level martial arts and felt that taking them would be meaningless.

But when Liu Ruoyan saw that he had been browsing for a long time and didn't want anything, she became a little anxious and introduced him to two Yellow-rank martial arts.

Although these two Yellow-rank martial arts were of inferior quality, they were the best things on the second floor. Liu Ruoyan insisted that he accept them no matter what.

Chu Qianqiu couldn't refuse her kindness, so he reluctantly stored them in his storage ring and then went to the third floor to take a look.

Finally, on the third floor, he found what he wanted.

The third floor was where various herb seeds and special items were stored.

These items were extremely attractive to him.

First of all, he was an alchemist and was extremely sensitive to various medicinal materials.

Some of the animal horns, cores, and medicinal sands here were rare materials for alchemy.

As for the seeds, he could take them back and directly cultivate them to obtain spiritual medicine.

The other unnamed items could also be directly used as alternative medicinal materials.

"With these things combined, I should be able to create many new prescriptions that my pharmacy doesn't have yet."

Chu Qianqiu said, feeling eager to get started.

"I remember you said you're an alchemist. It seems you're interested in the items on the third floor."

"Take more."

Liu Ruoyan smiled beside him, very happy to see that he was finally interested in these things.

Chu Qianqiu didn't hesitate and accepted most of the items he needed on the third floor.

For him, taking away most of these items was already more than enough and worth the price.

So, when he thought he had taken enough and was about to leave, Liu Ruoyan still warmly invited him to check out the last floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

"You haven't been to the fourth floor with me yet. I promised to compensate you with an item of equal value to my sword."

"No need... I think if I take more, your father might beat me up."

"He won't. If he dares to lay a finger on you, I'll chop off his hand!"

"Ah, is he that ruthless..."

"Isn't he your own father?"

...

After coaxing and persuading, Chu Qianqiu finally arrived at the fourth floor.

As soon as he arrived on the fourth floor, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

He saw that the spacious area was... completely empty!

It was as clean as a whistle, with nothing at all, just an empty storage room.

Chu Qianqiu was stunned, wondering what was going on. Could it be that this place had been robbed?

Liu Ruoyan then performed a spell, aiming at the center of the building, revealing the treasures hidden here.
