The two of them left the garden together.
The elders who had surrounded the garden earlier immediately noticed their arrival. However, none of them stepped forward to stop them.
After all, the person walking in front was the patriarch of the Wang Family.
Even though Long Feng was walking behind him, the elders naturally assumed that Patriarch Wang had already dealt with the matter.
None of them dared to question him.
Patriarch Wang continued walking through the Wang Family estate, while Long Feng casually followed behind.
The expression on Long Feng’s face was calm. But inwardly, he couldn’t help feeling satisfied.
The situation had completely changed.
Previously, he had entered the Wang Family as a guest. Now, the patriarch of the Wang Family had become his puppet.
With Patriarch Wang under his control, Long Feng could practically walk anywhere in the Wang Family without facing any obstruction.
Soon, the two arrived before a secluded area.
Several powerful formations surrounded the place. There were also hidden restrictions that could detect anyone who tried to enter without permission.
Long Feng glanced around.
"So this is the Wang Family treasury?"
Patriarch Wang nodded.
"Yes, Master."
Long Feng’s eyes flashed. He was just about to take another step forward when suddenly, a cold voice suddenly came.
"Patriarch, why are you here?"
A figure slowly walked out from the shadows.
It was an old man wearing a grey robe. His hair was completely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. However, his eyes were sharp and filled with spiritual energy.
Long Feng immediately sensed his cultivation. He was a Golden Core Realm expert.
The old man looked at Patriarch Wang with a suspicious expression, then his gaze shifted toward Long Feng.
His eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"Patriarch, this is the restricted treasury of our Wang Family. Why have you brought an outsider here?"
The old man’s voice became slightly colder.
Long Feng raised an eyebrow. He glanced at Patriarch Wang who remained completely silent.
However, this made the old man frowned.
"Patriarch?"
Usually, Patriarch Wang would have already answered him. But something was off this time, the man simply stood there like a lifeless puppet.
The old man’s gaze moved between the two.
"Patriarch, what is going on?"
Long Feng suddenly chuckled.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
"What did you say?"
The old man turned his head toward him. Because he had duty to guard the treasury, he didn’t go out often. That’s why he didn’t recognize Long Feng.
"I said, why are you asking so many questions?" Long Feng smiled.
But his words made the old man angry, his eyes turned cold.
"Who do you think you are?"
He was a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Even though he wasn’t one of the strongest members of the Wang Family, he still had considerable status.
Yet, this young man was standing in front of him and openly insulting him.
"Patriarch!"
The old man immediately looked at Patriarch Wang.
"Who is this person? Why are you allowing him to speak like this?"
If its not that this young man was brought here by their patriarch, he would have already attacked him.
But Long Feng didn’t have the patience like him, to waste any more time. He looked at his puppet and ordered without hesitation.
"Kill him."
The old man’s eyes widened. For a moment, he thought he had heard incorrectly.
But before he could think any further, a terrifying aura erupted on the side.
The old man’s expression changed dramatically as he felt a powerful attack aimed towards his head. He felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cave.
"Wait—"
He hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy to resist against it. But looking at the person who attacked him, he shocked beyond words.
"Patriarch, what are you doing?!"
Boom!
A powerful palm strike struck his chest.
The old man’s body was sent flying backward, blood sprayed from his mouth. He crashed heavily against the ground.
"Patriarch... why?"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
He couldn’t understand that the current situation. He was a elder of the Wang Family and served the family for decades.
Why was the patriarch suddenly attacking him?
He had done nothing wrong.
"Patriarch!"
The old man shouted. But Patriarch Wang’s expression remained completely emotionless, however, his attack didn’t stop. Another powerful palm strike come towards him with a terrifying speed.
The old man’s pupils shrank.
"Wait!"
Boom!
Another attack landed and this time, the old man’s body completely collapsed.
His Golden Core shattered and his eyes became lifeless. Until his final breath, he couldn’t understand why the patriarch of his own family had killed him.
Long Feng calmly walked past his corpse without even spare him another glance.
"Let’s go."
Patriarch Wang immediately followed behind him, as both of them entered the treasury.
The moment Long Feng stepped inside, his eyes immediately widened.
"Wow."
A massive amount of spiritual energy rushed toward him.
The treasury was enormous, rows upon rows of shelves filled the entire place. There were countless treasures stored inside.
But the first thing that caught Long Feng’s attention was a massive mountain of spirit stones.
"That’s..."
Long Feng walked over, his eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the small mountain of spirit stones.
Even from a quick estimate, there were at least three or four hundred thousand spirit stones.
He immediately waved his hand and collected all of them in his storage ring.
After spending more than fifty thousands spirit stone in Auction House, he became very poor. But after gaining so much spirit stones, he had filled his reserves.
Then Long Feng turned his attention toward the shelves that had numerous cultivation techniques and martial arts stored inside.
He casually picked up several scrolls and checked them.
Most of cultivation techniques were Spirit and Profound Rank, but he didn’t find anything of Earth Rank.
However, he wasn’t disappointed with this.
The Wang Family was only a small cultivation family. It would already be impressive if they possessed a few Profound Rank techniques.
While looking through the collection, Long Feng found a peak Profound Rank cultivation method, called Blazing Sun Art.
Not only it matched with his flame attribute, but also sufficient grade. Long Feng carefully examined it.
Cultivation method were slightly different from Cultivation Technique.
Cultivation techniques usually referred to methods used by cultivators during battle.
For example, offensive techniques, defensive techniques, movement techniques, palm techniques, sword techniques, and various secret arts.
But a cultivation method determined how a cultivator absorbed spiritual energy from the surrounding world and refined it inside their body.
The higher the grade of a cultivation method, the faster the cultivation speed.
It could also increase the quantity and purity of spiritual energy a cultivator could refine.
A powerful cultivation method could allow a cultivator to possess a stronger foundation and greater spiritual energy reserves compared to someone cultivating at the same realm.
He had a Mid-Grade Profound Rank cultivation method, called Scarlet Ember Art from the sect several years ago.
At that time, it had been sufficient for him.
But as his cultivation continued to increase, Long Feng had already realized the limitations of his current cultivation method.
He had been wanting to replace it for quite some time. And now, he had finally found one.
Moreover, it was a Peak Profound Rank cultivation method, the Blazing Sun Art.
"Not bad."
A smile appeared on his lips as he immediately stored it.
Afterward, he continued collecting all the treasures there in several storage rings. He had no intention of leaving anything behind.
Just then his eyes suddenly noticed something in a corner. Several spirit stones were placed there separately from the others.
Long Feng walked over and checked them. The moment he picked one up, his expression changed.
"These are... mid grade spirit stones?"
His eyes flashed with surprise.
Spirit stones were also divided into four grades; low grade, mid grade, high grade and top grade.
The spirit stones that cultivators normally used were low grade spirit stones, mid grade spirit stones were far rarer.
The spiritual energy contained within them was much denser and purer.
A single mid-tier spirit stone was worth one hundred low-tier spirit stones. And there were more than a thousand of them here.
Long Feng couldn’t help but asked about them to the Patriarch Wang, who told him that he had obtained them in exchange of Soul Enchanting Violet.
He didn’t expect him to be so smart!
Very few people would change their mid grade spirit stones into low grade spirit stones. That’s why they were rare. Only some powerful treasure could be exchanged for mid grade spirit stones.
"Some of the mid-tier spirit stones were stored here. I also secretly kept some in my private residence."
However, his next reply surprised Long Feng more. As expected of a old geezer, he had his own private collection.
After collecting all things here, they arrived at Patriarch Wang’s private residence.
The place was luxurious but relatively simple compared to the main family estate. There were no guard or hidden cultivator. It seems this Patriarch Wang liked some peace around his residence area.
"Where did you hide them?"
Patriarch Wang pointed toward his master bed.
Long Feng walked over and carefully examined the area. Soon, he noticed something unusual.
There was a secret compartment on the side of bed. He reached out and took out a storage ring in them.
He checked its contents with his spiritual senses and the scene in front of him surprised him once again.
There were almost five hundred mid-tier spirit stones in the storage ring.
Long Feng couldn’t help smiling.
With the spirit stones inside the treasury, he had obtained more than one thousand five hundred mid-tier spirit stones.
This was a considerable fortune, even Long Feng was quite satisfied.
"Let’s go." He stored everything away and turned to leave.
His work in the Wang family had completed, since it was already evening, it was perfect time to leave this place without anyone notice.
As for what happens after he leave, that wasn’t something he should worry about.
However, at that moment, the door suddenly opened.
