I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 84 Tortoise Shell

"Maintain your peak strength, then go find the four spectators, including the Underworld Master."

The four of them are scattered in different places, and even if they are searched for one by one, there must be a certain order in which they are searched.

"To be on the safe side, start with the weakest one."

Recalling her in-depth investigation into the origins of the four individuals, Xia Xue had a clear understanding of the situation.

"The weakest should be the paper craftsman."

Xia Xue made up her mind and didn't sit idle.

Consciousness fell into the dimensional space.

"After the death of the Taoist Qingfu, the magical power on the Fuqian coins also disappeared."

Using this money again will eliminate the harm.

You can spend it without worry.

"Wow, so much cash! How much money is this?"

Xia Xue didn't count, but she estimated it to be around one billion.

"According to the information traced back by Qingfu Daoren, this money was exchanged as collateral from the Five Ghosts Money Shop, one of the five dominant forces in the underworld."

The scene that comes to mind when tracing the source is that five blurry figures suddenly appear out of thin air, collect the documents containing the assets, and instantly produce a mountain of cash.

"The Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique?"

This is what the Taoist Qingfu called this technique.

I don't know if it's accurate or not.

"The Five Ghosts Money House is a force of the Five Ghosts lineage, famous for its Five Ghosts Wealth Transport Technique. According to Qingfu Daoist, it is a dark force with a long history. It has been one of the five major powers in the dark world for hundreds of years and has continued to this day without interruption. Now, it has grown into a behemoth in the world of cultivation, the dark world, and the secular world."

Xia Xue shook her head and clicked her tongue twice.

"Although both are among the five major powers of the dark world, this power is not comparable to the rogue cultivator power like Netherfire, which has only dominated for a little over ten years."

Xia Xue flipped her right hand and took out a tortoise shell.

"This is the most precious treasure of Daoist Qingfu, the shell of a hundred-year-old spirit tortoise, an unparalleled treasure for divination and prophecy."

Xia Xue waited expectantly for the system's response, and the system did not disappoint her.

"Item highly compatible with the Aura Observation Technique detected. Treasure chest generating..."

Xia Xue smiled.

"As expected, it has gained the system's approval... Wait, not tracing the source, but observing the aura? Is this a mistake?"

Tracing the source is clearly the way to deduce, observing the aura...

"It seems that it can also be categorized under the principle of deduction."

However, unlike the orthodox deductive method of tracing origins, observing qi directly reveals the results and trends.

"More intuitive, and requires no deduction."

Therefore, Xia Xue sometimes subconsciously overlooks the fact that observing qi is actually a kind of esoteric art of deduction.

"Open the treasure chest to add colorful luck."

"Colorful Luck: The heroine's exclusive luck."

Xia Xue stared at this short sentence and stood there dumbfounded.

"What? Am I seeing things? I can actually see the female lead's luck directly?"

This really helped her a lot.

"From now on, when searching for the female lead, we won't have to rely on luck anymore; we can directly use aura observation to determine her identity."

This significantly improved her efficiency in farming treasure chests.

"As expected of the system, it's so thoughtful, haha."

Wait, there's more content after this?

Limitation: Perception range.

Current distance: 47 meters.

Why are there still restrictions?

Xia Xue was a little upset, but it was understandable.

"This range of perception is clearly closely related to my strength."

Whether it's supernatural abilities, mystical arts, or the Qi Sea, they are all inextricably linked to it.

"My hard skills can also be seen as a hard quantitative standard of my strength."

Perhaps, only within the scope of this power's coverage will the system's power be at its strongest, and the power of the mystical arts reach its full potential.

"After refining the spirit tortoise shell, the radius increased by four meters."

While Xia Xue was recovering her strength and taking stock of her gains.

The City Lord's Mansion, under the jurisdiction of Sima.

Chu Nan was looking at the intelligence sent from headquarters.

"What? The Netherfire has been extinguished?"

Chu Nan had always regarded Netherfire as a hypothetical enemy, so naturally he paid the most attention to information about Netherfire.

"Last night, shortly after the Shen family issued a warning, informants in the dark world discovered that of the thirteen statues representing the leader and the twelve elders in the headquarters of the Dark World, eight were destroyed, four were damaged, and only one, the most recently erected statue, remained intact."

Chu Nan immediately deduced that the well-preserved statue represented Youyou.

This veteran was captured alive by Black Shield and surrendered.

"Who is it? Who has such power? They were able to kill eight people and seriously injure four others in the blink of an eye."

The intelligence reports that all of this happened in the blink of an eye, and this information was marked.

"After cross-validation, although the claim is exaggerated, it should be credible."

Chu Nan is not like Xia Jue, a newbie who has just entered the world of Xuanxiu and doesn't even know anything about the dark world.

She was all too aware of the power of Netherfire.

The leader of the Netherfire and its twelve elders are all at the level of a Mystic Master.

Such a powerful force was wiped out.

"This isn't just defeating them one by one, it's wiping out an entire group in an instant."

The difference here is enormous.

"Could it be Xuanzong?"

The realm above the legendary Xuan Master.

"Wasn't it said that the Xuanzong sect has ceased to exist, and only the Xuan Masters remain as the most active members?"

Chu Nan felt a headache coming on and gently rubbed his throbbing temples.

"The key question is, is this force capable of mobilizing the Xuanzong sect friend or foe?"

The Shen family of Huangliang?

"It's possible, but it's unlikely."

Although legend has it that the Shen family of Huangliang also has a Xuanzong disciple still alive, that is the Shen family's trump card, and they would never use it for such a trivial matter.

"Is there another force behind Xia Xue?"

Chu Nan had suspected this before, but couldn't be sure.

This time, it's certain.

"Moreover, this force is extremely powerful, no weaker than the Shen family, and may even be stronger, or even much stronger. What is being shown now may only be the tip of the iceberg."

Chu Nan's face showed a hint of joy, but also a hint of helplessness.

"Fortunately, Xia Xue is a friend, not an enemy."

Today, Xia Xue has joined Black Shield and is considered half one of them.

"Xia Jue, you're really lucky."

With Xia Xue as a key figure, they can indirectly mobilize part of the power of the Shen family and the mysterious force that can deploy Xuanzong experts.

It can be said that even if Xia Jue left her at this point, he would have a place to stand.

Chu Nan murmured softly, "I need to change my attitude towards Xia Jue."

Chu Nan chuckled softly, as if something had occurred to him.

"Fortunately, A-Mian and Xia Jue are close friends. With that relationship, things can't get too bad."

After Chu Nan figured all this out, he glanced at the intelligence on the computer and then turned to look at Old Chen, who had been on high alert.

"Old Chen, from now on, send a copy of the intelligence from headquarters to Xia Jue as well."

Seeing the hesitation in Old Chen's eyes, Chu Nan smiled and said:

"Don't worry about the procedures. I'll talk to headquarters. As long as they're not out of their minds, they'll definitely approve my application."
