Chapter 62: The Black Box, a Spiritual Medicine? (First Update!)

  A new week, friends, please log in to Huan Xia Gang Xiawu Mountain, member clicks and recommendation votes are all needed, thank you everyone! Please help!

  "Don't worry." Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "You're the same, take what you like, don't be polite, being polite is unfair to yourself..."

  "I... I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I won't join you guys anymore... sorry..."

  At this moment, Xiao Mei brought over Xiao Jiyuan, who had a faintly worried look on her face. This expression shouldn't be appearing on the face of a girl who was only thirteen years old, especially not on Xiao Jiyuan, who used to be as innocent and carefree as an angel.

  Xiao Jiyuan finished speaking and didn't give everyone a chance to persuade her, she directly turned around and quickly walked away...

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

  Chen Hao's mouth also revealed a wry smile as he shook his head.

  "Dongfang Han is a good-for-nothing, it's all his fault... For the past three years, Xiaoyan probably thinks that Dongfang Han is the best person to her in this world..." Xiang Jishan said.

  "Xiao Yan is still young and too naive, for the time being, it's probably impossible to adjust... Fortunately, Dongfang Han said his evil deeds in front of everyone, otherwise Xiao Yan might not have believed that he was a despicable person... Shidi, don't blame Xiao Yan..." Xiang Mei also said.

  "No." Chen Hao shook his head, and a scene of the first time he met Xiao Jiyuan appeared in his mind. He smiled slightly: "She's more suitable for living in a fairy tale world, but reality is cruel and ugly... With this blow, I believe she'll grow up... Alright, let's hurry up..."

  For Xiao Jiyuan, Chen Huan had some regret in his heart. Originally, his relationship with Xiao Jiyuan should have been the best in the Xiao family. But because of Xiao Jihans's interference and Xiao Jiyuan's own indecisiveness, he lost the original ease of getting along with her. Although Chen Huan knew that during this time, Xiao Jiyuan was not only avoiding him but also avoiding Xiao Jihan, he didn't like this kind of personality.

  And this time, when everything was over, Chen Huan called Xiang Jiyuan together, and Chen Huan just wanted to help her get rid of the heart demon. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Xiang Jiyuan still retreated...

  Chen Hao had just told everyone, his tone was casual, but Chen Hao knew that the matter of Xiao Jihans' death would likely become a long-term demon in Xiao Jiyuan's heart. If this demon wasn't exorcised, her martial arts cultivation would probably be severely affected...

  What Chen Hao was supposed to do has been done, and everything else is beyond his control. It's all up to Xiao Jiyuan herself now.

  ……

  "Chen brothers, let's start searching now. Take a look and see if there's anything you like, feel free to take it. Don't worry, everything will be gathered here for counting. No need to be polite!" The leader of the guards said with a smile as he approached Chen Hao and the others. Since the city lord had specifically asked Chen Hao to accompany him, how could he not understand the city lord's intention? The Dong family was the richest in Yunzhou, so it was natural that there would be many precious jewels and treasures, and it was likely that there were also spiritual medicines and weapons that warriors needed.

  "Ah, thank you!"

  "It's nothing, it's what I should do!"

  ……

  In no time, batch after batch of guards came to carry, move and lift countless precious things over. Chen Hao and the others were dazzled by what they saw, feeling that each item was worth a fortune. Xiao Jishan, Er Gouzzi and the others initially wanted to take everything, looking at this one and thinking it was good, then looking at that one and thinking it was also good. As for gold and silver, they didn't even bother with them...

  The guards and several recorders checked the items one by one, recording them on a list. Whenever they came across something good, they would ask Chen Huan, and if he or his people liked it, they wouldn't record it.

  "General, a hidden door was discovered in the East Prosperity Study. I dare not open it without permission, please come to inspect!" Half an hour later, a guard rushed over and reported in a low voice.

  "Oh?" The leader of the guards suddenly became delighted and said: "Could it be a treasure trove? Brother Chen, why don't you come with me to take a look? Your friends can pick out whatever they like here, no need to worry about carrying them away, I'll help you send them back, hehe..."

  "Good!" Chen Hao responded, with a hint of expectation in his heart. The Dongfang family was wealthy and ambitious to become a martial arts household, but so far they had not found any spiritual medicine or anything useful for warriors, which seemed somewhat off. Now that the hidden door had been discovered, it should lead to something truly valuable.

  ……

  In the huge study, under the carpet below the desk, there was a not-too-obvious secret door. If it weren't for the big commotion of searching the house, it would be hard to discover.

  Chen Hao and the leader of the guards arrived just as several guards had found the mechanism for the hidden door, opened it, and beneath the door was a straight staircase leading down, brightly lit inside.

  Chen Haomin's sharp perception extended into the past, and he sensed a hint of spiritual medicine.

  "Hehe... the best things in Dongfang Wangcai are definitely all here, Chen brothers, you can pick some here, guaranteed to be correct... let's go down and take a look! You lead the way in front, be careful if there are any mechanisms!"

  "Yes!"

  Several guards cautiously entered the secret chamber one after another.

  After breaking through three layers of fine iron gates, a dazzling light suddenly shone on everyone's face, with treasures and jewels everywhere, making Chen Huan and others gasp in unison. Even the leader of the guards did not expect that the wealth of the Dong family would be so terrifying, this is not just the richest man in Yunzhou?

  "You all go outside and guard well!" The leader of the guards said in a deep voice.

  "Yes!" Hearing the leader's words, although everyone was reluctant, they still retreated obediently.

  "Chen brothers, these are all treasures worth a city, you like what you take what, pick the valuable ones, can take as much as you want..."

  "Thanks. Old brother, what's the origin of this Dongfang family after all? I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems on the surface..." Chen Hao asked tentatively.

  "This is not clear. I'm afraid... the city master also didn't think that the Dongfang family's financial resources would be so strong..." The leader of the guards shook his head and said: "You hurry up and choose, after you're done, I'll have someone report to the city master..."

  "Good!" Chen Hao said with a smile. After finishing, he pretended to look around, touching this and that, seeing the leader of the guards immersed in the jewels and no longer paying attention to him, Chen Hao's eyes locked onto a direction, quietly approaching.

  The aura of that divine medicine was emanating from there, and although the entire treasure trove only had this one aura, Chen Huan clearly sensed it, and even the 6th-grade spiritual medicine given to him by Xiao Ding couldn't compare to the aura of this medicine.

  This is what Chen Hao really wants!

  Move away some of the obstructing treasures, and Chen Hao slightly frowned, it was actually a wall.

  "Is it sealed in the dark grid on the wall?" Seeing this scene, Chen Huan was not disappointed, but instead became even more surprised and delighted. The Eastern family's cautious concealment was enough to prove the preciousness of this spiritual medicine.

  After observing carefully for a moment, Chen Huan gently pressed his hand on a nearby protruding smile, and after probing several times, he lightly turned it, and to his surprise, the wall slowly opened, revealing a dark, dull, and seemingly ordinary box in front of him.

  The box was not large, only the size of a fist, with no carvings or decorations, but it had the fine texture of wood. When Chen Huan took it in his hand, he was suddenly startled by its unexpected heaviness. What made Chen Huan even more surprised was that the aura of the spiritual medicine came from the box itself, not the object inside...

  "Could it be that this box is made of spiritual medicine?"

  Chen Hao was slightly surprised, but it was clearly not the time to study it, so he directly put it in his pocket. After carefully checking that there were no other objects in the hidden compartment, he quietly closed it. Then, he began to select some things he liked, and did so quite unceremoniously.

  When Chen Huan walked out of the treasury, the leader of the guards was not dissatisfied in any way, but his expression was a bit drawn. What kind of person is this? It's also too impolite...

  "Really?"

  Xiao Jishan and others saw Chen Hao's appearance at that time, also with a stunned expression and speechless.

  "You guys, who have never been poor, don't understand... Let's go, let's go!" Chen Hao said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then led the way out with a swagger.

  All I saw was this guy using a huge carpet to make a package that was even bigger than himself, hunching his back and carrying it on his shoulders...

  As they watched Chen Huan's back, everyone looked at each other, and those who were originally embarrassed by the guards suddenly felt that compared to Chen Huan, they were too innocent.

  "Chen brothers, the carriage is ready outside and will take you directly back to Xiao's house," said the leader of the guards as he followed up.

  "Is there still a carriage?"

  "Uh... the carriage isn't very big." The leader of the guards saw Chen Huan's expression and almost collapsed, involuntarily saying so, but regretted it immediately and hastily added: "However... as long as Brother Chen is willing, calling another one is also... no problem..."

  "Haha, never mind, just kidding. Anyway, half of it is considered Xiao's family, so we'll just take a little bit for the sake of it, that's all! Let's go, let's go..."
