The raging wind stopped in an instant-

Song Jixing and Shen Feixian clasped their hands respectfully and said, "We pay our respects to Elder Wen Renhe."

Wen Renhe glanced at the two and did not care about their strange attire. Instead, he started counting on his fingers with a frown on his face.

Wen Renhe counted for a good while, until his fingers turned red. He mumbled with a worried look, "Strange, there isn't a shred of spiritual energy!"

Wen Renhe was the elder in the Sect responsible for guarding the treasury. He only showed his face during sect meetings and when the treasury was opened. At other times, he mostly cultivated in his own cave dwelling.

Before entering the treasury, Song Jixing had only seen this elder once when he gave her a few words of caution about the rules of the treasury. If not for that, Song Jixing would not have recognized him.

Since Elder Wen appeared here now, he must have been caught up by the Divine Cauldron's explosion!

Facing the sect elder, Song Jixing upheld the principles of respecting one's teacher and elders. She wanted to explain their current circumstances.

Song Jixing: "Elder Wen, we were all brought to this strange place by the Divine Cauldron's explosion..."

Wen Renhe interrupted Song Jixing with a stern face, "Wait!" Then he stroked his beard and looked solemnly at the two of them, "This old man is already aware of the Divine Cauldron's explosion. As for what kind of illusion this is, I shall find out myself."

After saying that, Wen Renhe made another hand seal and stomped his feet.

The surroundings were calm and the weather was sunny. Birds were singing melodiously on the branches...

Wen Renhe seemed unwilling to admit defeat and stomped his feet again.

He stomped five or six times before he finally gave up his stubbornness. Silently, he sheathed the sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his back. After tidying his clothes, he turned and walked to the back.

Wen Renhe: "This old man will go investigate the nature of this illusion first. You two stay here and wait for my return. Do not wander around!" After saying that, he strode forward with big steps.

Song Jixing and Shen Feixian exchanged glances. Neither of them had any worries in their eyes, only puzzlement.

After all, with the cultivation level of a sect elder, which one of them did not emerge from bloody battles and life-and-death fights?

Even if there was no spiritual energy here, their physiques and senses tempered in the Immortal Sect were still present.

Apart from worrying that the elder might go hungry, Song Jixing had no other concerns.

Thus, after the elder had gone far away, Song Jixing made a hand seal and shot a ray of light at Wen Renhe to keep track of him.

"Senior brother, don't worry. After Elder finishes walking around and gets familiar with this place, we can find him again."

Shen Feixian nodded. Without any worry for the Elder, he discussed the houses here with Song Jixing instead.

Speaking of houses naturally brought up money: "...That's right, junior sister, you'll definitely lack money when renting a house! I earned some money recently. Junior sister, take this money for your use."

As if taking out a coin from his pocket to buy groceries, Shen Feixian smoothly took out a gold bar from his pocket.

Looking at the gold bar, Song Jixing began to doubt herself deeply.
