"Yes!"

Upon hearing the familiar system sound, Su Xuan immediately agreed to the system removing the ownership bond.

He was also incredibly excited!

The system has finally entered the third stage!

The next second, his grip loosened, and the repelling force from the sachet completely vanished. Then, something strange happened. A bizarre pulling force emanated from the sachet, tugging vigorously at his consciousness. His mind blurred for a moment, as if he had been transported to another world.

It was a white space, and within it were mountains of Moon Profound Stones, so numerous they were impossible to count.

Looking at the Moon Profound Stones, he had a feeling that they were all his. With just a thought, he could retrieve them from this white space.

The sachet is a storage space… Su Xuan muttered to himself.

In Taoist lore, there is a type of magical treasure that can create a private space to store many things. Some are called qiankun bags, said to contain their own universe. This sachet was clearly a storage bag, and it was filled with an endless amount of Moon Profound Stones!

These Moon Profound Stones are most likely the true burial gifts Deng Cheng left for his daughter! Or perhaps Deng Cheng secretly hid his assets here! I've really struck it rich this time!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring a Treasure of Heaven and Earth!"

"Ding! As a reward, the Host is endowed with a mount: one Golden Scaled Crocodile. This mount is low-key yet majestic, perfectly fitting the Host's current status and temperament."

"Ding! Third Stage task progress: 1/10."

The system's notifications chimed one after another.

Su Xuan's heart pounded.

This is what I call a real system! I genuinely thought it had stopped after the second stage with no more substantial rewards, but here they are! But what the hell is a Golden Scaled Crocodile? A mount? Can it show off as well as a Koenigsegg?

"Su Xuan, are you alright?" Seeing Su Xuan standing frozen with the sachet in hand, Qi Qingshan worried he had fallen under some kind of spell.

"I'm fine." Su Xuan withdrew from the sachet's storage space and shook his head. "This thing is a bit strange, beyond my imagination."

"As long as you're okay." Hearing this, Qi Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze fell back to the sachet in Su Xuan's hand. "Have you... already broken the ownership bond on this sachet?"

"Father, Su Xuan!"

Before Su Xuan could reply, Qi Li appeared unsteadily on the third floor, leaning against the wall for support. She had grown worried when there was no sound after her father and Su Xuan went into the pavilion, so she forced her weak body to come and check on them.

"Li'er, you've come at the right time!" Seeing his daughter, Qi Qingshan said, "There are indeed some good things in this pavilion, enough for our sect to live well for a while. We also found Deng Shishi's coffin and retrieved this sachet from inside. Here, take a look. Do you like it?"

"A sachet?" Qi Li blinked curiously and walked toward Su Xuan. On her way up, she had also seen the items on the first and second floors and knew they could truly change the sect's fortunes.

Approaching Su Xuan, she reached out for the sachet. He held it suspended in mid-air, as if offering it to her.

But the moment her hand touched the sachet, it felt like an electric shock. An unimaginable repulsive force instantly shoved her backward, a power akin to a massive, crashing wave.

"Be careful."

Fortunately, Su Xuan reacted instantly, grabbing Qi Li and preventing her from being sent flying like her father had been moments before.

I see, he immediately realized. After the system removed the old ownership bond, it re-bonded the sachet to me. It's my personal property now; no one else can touch it!

"This…"

Qi Qingshan was dumbfounded, not understanding why the sachet was still in a bonded state. He simply couldn't believe it had already bonded with Su Xuan. The bonding process couldn't be completed in the blink of an eye; the more valuable the treasure, the harder it was to claim!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Just then, the chaotic sound of footsteps echoed from outside.

Looking out from the third floor of the pavilion, Su Xuan and Qi Qingshan saw Yan Peng approaching with his loyal retainers. They quickly left the pavilion, and Qi Li didn't mention the sachet again.

"Sect Leader Qi!" Seeing Qi Qingshan emerge from the pavilion, Yan Peng waved. "Are you all okay?"

"We're fine," Qi Qingshan said. "How did you find us?"

"After Brother Su and niece Li'er went into the water, one of the underwater caves suddenly began bubbling intensely," Yan Peng said, panting with exhaustion. "I was afraid something had happened to them, so I dove in to search and found my way here."

After speaking, he looked around the tomb chamber with an expression of both surprise and disappointment, muttering, "This clearly isn't an ore vein. It's a tomb!"

"Exactly!" Qi Qingshan nodded. "Although it's not a vein, there are quite a few good things here. Our efforts weren't in vain."

「Later」

Qi Qingshan and Yan Peng took inventory of the tomb's contents, planning to divide everything and transport it back to their sects overnight. On Qi Qingshan's instruction, Su Xuan took Qi Li, Dai Xiu, and the others back to rest, as their bodies couldn't endure any more strain.

As dawn approached, Yan Peng wiped the sweat from his face and said to Qi Qingshan, "Brother Qi, aside from those earthenware jars, there are only a little over twenty thousand usable Moon Profound Stones! This isn't a small sum; it would take our two sects a long time to earn this much. Do you think we should give some to Su Xuan?"

"Of course we should!" Qi Qingshan replied without a second thought. "Without Su Xuan, the two of us would still be at each other's throats. He resolved our feud, and he saved my life in here. We must give him at least a third!"

"A third for one person? Isn't that too much?" Yan Peng countered. "Besides, what use does he have for Moon Profound Stones?"

He was still unaware that Su Xuan intended to visit Jiuding Pavilion to request pills from Xie Cheng, a visit that required an entrance fee of ten thousand Moon Profound Stones.

"You're not willing?" Qi Qingshan's face hardened as he glared at Yan Peng. "I don't remember you being such a stingy person."

"I'm not unwilling," Yan Peng grinned sheepishly. "But look, Su Xuan is your future son-in-law, right? He's practically your family. If he takes a third, that's like your family taking two-thirds, while I only get one-third. That's not fair!"

Qi Qingshan burst into laughter. Yan Peng's remark had left him with no rebuttal.

But what neither of them knew was that Su Xuan was now an indisputable tycoon in the world above the mountains. He couldn't care less about such a paltry sum of Moon Profound Stones.

「Meanwhile」

In a mountain range a hundred miles from the Floating Cloud Sect, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed, sounding as if it came from some ferocious beast...
