Thousand Treasures Peak is truly worthy of being one of the five peaks of the Inner Sect.
Upon entering the protective formation, he immediately felt the dense Spiritual Energy within.
The Spiritual Energy here is more than a third higher than that of the Outer Sect.
If he could cultivate here for a long time, his cultivation speed would improve significantly.
"I imagine the Spiritual Energy at Wood Spirit Peak must also be very dense." Zhang Yan thought of Mu Sen; at the time, Mu Sen said that once his Wood Element Technique reached Great Accomplishment, he could recommend him to his Master.
Now, Zhang Yan's Wood Element Technique has not only reached Great Accomplishment, but it is even showing signs of reaching Perfection.
If he were willing, he could enter Wood Spirit Peak at any time.
The reason he is dragging his feet and not going to Wood Spirit Peak now is mainly due to two considerations.
On one hand, one can be a genius, but one shouldn't be *too* much of a genius; exceeding others' expectations is not a good thing!
On the other hand, entering Wood Spirit Peak means becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.
By then, he would not be as free and relaxed as he is in the Outer Sect.
Moreover, there is a Golden Core Ancestor on Wood Spirit Peak.
Whatever he does, it would ultimately be somewhat inconvenient.
Therefore, he decided to delay for a while before going to find Mu Sen. When the time comes, he will appear more mediocre, acting only as a small genius; he estimates that not too many people will pay attention to him then.
He had heard people say before that someone once practiced a spell to Perfection in one year and was called a genius.
And as for him, Zhang Yan, it wouldn't be excessive to practice a spell to Great Accomplishment in one year, right?
Being a small genius, enjoying the benefits of a genius, yet not being targeted by others—just thinking about it feels wonderful.
Following the beautiful Female Cultivator.
Zhang Yan soon arrived at a great hall.
There were many people busy in the hall, and the beautiful Female Cultivator introduced him to an old man.
"Steward, this person has taken the job of sorting waste Magic Tools," the beautiful Female Cultivator said to the old man.
"Sorting waste Magic Tools?"
The old man turned his head to look at Zhang Yan and nodded slightly: "Sort the Magic Tools according to their materials. Remember to screen them; if there are any Magic Tools that are not severely damaged, they must also be sorted separately."
"Yes, Steward."
Zhang Yan nodded in agreement.
"The reward for the task is paid according to the progress of the cleaning. You get ten Contribution Points for cleaning one, and sorting out a useful Magic Tool earns you 100 Contribution Points!
For the Magic Tools sorted out, if you find them useful, you can have priority to purchase them.
The price is eighty percent of the market price.
However, you must also remember that sorting Magic Tools is Dangerous; some Magic Tools may have Restrictions on them. You will know the details once you see them."
The Steward said to Zhang Yan in a flat tone.
"This Disciple understands!"
Zhang Yan nodded and then followed the instructions to sort the Magic Tools.
The unsorted Magic Tools were all gathered by Thousand Treasures Peak into a sunken Valley.
Inside the Valley.
Magic Tools were stuck into the ground one after another.
There were Flying Swords.
There were Banners.
There were also giant stones that looked like weapons, which Zhang Yan could not recognize, piled directly to one side. The quantity was so large that it made his scalp tingle.
"Why are there so many Magic Tools?" Before even entering the Valley, Zhang Yan could feel the various Mana Fluctuations coming from the Magic Tools.
"These Magic Tools were all collected from the outside.
It seems they are Magic Tools discarded from the Primordial Battlefield," the Disciple who led Zhang Yan over said nonchalantly.
"Don't look at those Magic Tools stuck in the ground; those are useless. What you need to look at are those stones." The Disciple pointed to the giant stones not far away.
"These stones were all found inside the Primordial Battlefield. The Magic Tools inside might still be useful, or they might have long been damaged and their Spiritual Energy exhausted. It's useless to crack them open."
"Primordial Battlefield? What kind of place is that?" Zhang Yan looked at the massive quantity of stones and gasped inwardly; this quantity was truly too much!
And this was just the amount collected by the Qingheng Sect alone.
If one were to look at the entire Cultivation World.
The quantity might be even greater!
This made him yearn for the Primordial Battlefield. If he could go to the Primordial Battlefield, how many pieces of equipment with Entries could he collect?
The Senior Brother who led Zhang Yan in looked at him and said with a smile: "It is said that it was a Battlefield between the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path, where tens of thousands of Cultivators died every year."
"But that was over a hundred thousand years ago. Now, there is only a ruin there, along with endless Raw Stones. However, even so, the Primordial Battlefield is not a place where small fry like us can get involved. To travel there, one must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"I see, thank you, Senior Brother."
Zhang Yan thanked him quickly, and after bidding farewell to the other party, he couldn't wait to enter the Valley.
As soon as he entered the Valley, he felt that the surrounding Spiritual Energy was particularly manic and not suitable for cultivation at all. Occasionally, when the wind blew, it even caused a slight stinging sensation on his skin.
This was because of the Magic Tools here.
According to that Senior Brother, the Magic Tools here were all left over from the Immortal-Demonic War over a hundred thousand years ago.
Zhang Yan dared not imagine how high the original grade of the Magic Tools that could withstand such long-term erosion was. After entering, he finally understood what the Steward meant by cleaning.
The so-called cleaning was to clean the Raw Stones wrapped around the exterior of these weapons.
These Raw Stones were formed in the Primordial Battlefield; they were not only tough but could also block the probing of Spiritual Sense.
This resulted in there being all sorts of things inside these Raw Stones.
Not just Magic Tools, but in the past, there had even been Pills, Skill Transmission Jade Slips, and so on.
However, due to material reasons, only Magic Tools were relatively easy to be preserved.
The Raw Stones that Zhang Yan and the other Disciples see now have actually already gone through layers of screening.
Those Raw Stones that were highly regarded had long since been cracked open; these ones now are all junk that no one cares about.
"Go and pick a pair of Magic Tools." The Managing Disciple pointed casually to a Room not far away. Zhang Yan pushed open the door and found many hammers and chisels inside.
"These Stone Cracking Hammers and Stone Cracking Chisels come in pairs and can be used to crack Raw Stones."
"Alright, figure out the rest yourself; I'm leaving now." After the Managing Disciple finished speaking, he turned and left.
Only Zhang Yan was left alone to face these Stone Cracking Hammers.
"They are actually all equipment..."
There were over a hundred Stone Cracking Hammers here.
He looked at the Stone Cracking Hammer closest to him.
【Equipment Name】: Stone Cracking Hammer
【Equipment Quality】: Gray
【Equipment Effect】: Stone Splitting（Minor Accomplishment）, Stone Splitting Experience +20%.
"The effect is average, let's try another one!"
Seeing the name on it, Zhang Yan smiled disdainfully. With so many Stone Cracking Hammers here, he believed there must be one with a high-quality Entry.
Thinking of this, he began to look at the hammers one by one.
"Hmm?"
"This hammer seems pretty good!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at a Stone Cracking Hammer in the corner.
【Equipment Name】: Stone Cracking Hammer
【Quality】: Green
【Equipment Effect】: Stone Splitting（Perfection）, Stone Appraising（Minor Accomplishment）, Stone Splitting Experience +20%.
