"Can you not be so scary? Everyone knows already!" Fang Ruolan said somewhat timidly.

Ye Chen's demeanor was fierce, which made Fang Ruolan seem to realize something, but to fully accept these matters, she probably still needed some time.

"Try taking the first step, go and search their bodies, see if there's anything valuable," Ye Chen said.

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Fang Ruolan resisted.

"The fight I just had seemed effortless, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous, and I almost lost my life to these people!" Ye Chen crouched on the ground. "I'm tired, I'll rest here for a while; you go clean up the battlefield."

"I won't go," Fang Ruolan said.

"Come on, hurry up," urged Ye Chen.

"I'm not going!" Fang Ruolan timidly said.

"You cowardly woman, what use are you to me!" Ye Chen grew angry.

"Without me for contrast, could you appear so grand?" Fang Ruolan retorted. "Behind every successful man, there is an unknown woman! I don't want to be a great person, I just want to be the halo behind a great person!"

"You!" Ye Chen was defeated.

In the end, Ye Che released the Indestructible Vajra Gu from the Qiankun Bag, and Fang Ruolan, controlling the corpse Gu, cleaned up the battlefield.

These Grandmasters had many treasures on them, and a few items were quite extraordinary, even making Ye Chen somewhat moved.

However, these treasures must have been plundered, as these Grandmaster bandits were not lucky enough to make any great fortunes.

Ye Chen robbed the robbers, obtaining many treasures, which stirred thoughts in his heart, almost tempting him to join the robbers.

However, just as these thoughts emerged in Ye Chen's mind, the righteous saintess appeared, always reminding him not to descend into killing and plundering.

Thus, Ye Chen, accompanied by the aloof saintess, embarked on another treasure-hunt journey.

They had entered the cave dwelling for just over ten days and could stay inside for over half a month; during this period, they had to seize opportunities and fight for fortunes.

This opening of the cave dwelling had created many masters. Characters on the Qingyun List had been largely cleared out, and some even advanced to the rank of Nine Dragon Sovereign during their stay, inspiring everyone to strive hard for opportunities and have fortunes fall upon them.

However, as some rose, others fell. In less than half a month, nearly two hundred of the five hundred Grandmasters perished!

The fall of two hundred Grandmasters, once the group left the cave dwelling and the news spread, would cause turbulence in the world's order!

But these deceased Grandmasters had weaker strength and shallower fortunes, hence the ease of their demise!

After several great massacres and purgings, the Grandmasters who were still alive were mostly those with strong abilities and deep fortunes, elite individuals, who were not likely to fall easily again!

As Ye Chen wandered around the cave dwelling, whenever a treasure appeared, he would be the first to strike, defeating groups and seizing the treasures.

With Ye Chen's current cultivation, apart from those few individuals who had reached the Nine Dragon Sovereign rank and the few on the Qingyun List, he truly had few rivals and was invincible!

These days, Ye Chen had obtained quite a lot of treasures, mostly precious medicines, along with some special ancient artifacts, but those items were diverse, and Ye Chen had no time to explore each one just yet.

Some of the treasures Ye Chen acquired were intentionally abandoned, as the multitude had to choose wisely since they didn't have something like the Qiankun Bag to store treasures, making it impossible to carry numerous items.

However, Ye Chen had no such worries, so he unscrupulously collected treasures.

These treasures, seemingly insignificant in a place filled with opportunities like the cave dwelling, would absolutely cause a frenzy if placed outside!

Ye Chen's Qiankun Bag was filled with numerous miscellaneous treasures, which undoubtedly constituted a huge fortune. If Ye Chen were to bring these treasures out of the cave dwelling and auction them off casually, he would likely become the richest person in the world, his status in the secular world could reach the absolute peak within minutes.

In fact, with Ye Chen's cultivation, he needn't have cared so much for worldly wealth, however, he now had too many women to provide for. Ye Chen couldn't always rely on others for support; he also needed to earn money to support his family.

Therefore, Ye Chen was now fired up with fervor, plunged into a frenzied state of treasure hunting.

After all, the time he could spend in the cave dwelling was getting shorter, and when the one-month period was reached, everyone in the cave would be driven out.

"This is a stalk of Dragon Flame Grass, also an excellent medicinal herb. Keep it!"

"A heavy blade, ordinary inside the cave, but it would rank as a Divine Weapon outside!"

"Another bottle of pills, keep it!"

"..."

Ye Chen wandered around the cave dwelling picking treasures, with Fang Ruolan following him impassively.

However, ultimately Fang Ruolan could no longer stand his attitude. Ye Chen's luck was strong, so the treasures he came across were plentiful, which made him seem more and more like he was collecting junk...

Nevertheless, on the twentieth day of their entry into the cave dwelling, an infinite surprise suddenly emerged on Fang Ruolan's usually impassive face.

"Ye Chen, my chance has come!" Fang Ruolan said with boundless excitement.

"What chance?" Ye Chen asked puzzled.

Fang Ruolan had been following him ever since entering the cave dwelling and had never sought any treasures. What kind of opportunity could she possibly have now?

"My Grandmaster deduced the existence of this cave dwelling, which might contain a Heaven-Devouring Worm. So, she sent me here to try my luck," Fang Ruolan explained. "Before leaving Miaojiang, my Grandmaster gave me a multi-colored stone. If Heaven-Devouring Worms exist, this stone would emit a multi-colored light."

"Look, this multi-colored stone is glowing now!" Ye Chen said, holding a small stone emitting multi-colored light in his palm.

"What is a Heaven-Devouring Worm?" Ye Chen asked.

A Heaven-Devouring Worm, the name alone was extraordinary, daring to be called Heaven-Devouring, it must be a fearsome existence.

"Heaven-Devouring Worm, as the name implies, can devour celestial beings!" Fang Ruolan said with shining eyes. "This Heaven-Devouring Worm is a kind of bug that can evolve. If controlled by a Gu Master, and continuously evolved, it can reach its ultimate form and can erode Land Gods!"

"However, such a terrifying Heaven-Devouring Worm has already gone extinct in the outside world; now, it might only exist in great powers' cave dwellings!"

"A bug that can erode Land Gods?" Ye Chen said incredulously.

Land Gods, who could control spirits and possessed supreme strength, were transcendent and invincible in the world; could they really be eroded by a mere bug?

"Yes!"

"Heaven-Devouring Worm, this is a Gu Master's most coveted Gu; when the Heaven-Devouring Worm evolves to its ultimate form, it becomes the king of Gu Kings, the Heaven-Devouring Gu King," Fang Ruolan said excitedly.

As a Gu Master, what she hoped for the most was to nurture a transcendent Gu, and naturally, Fang Ruolan was no exception. Her greatest wish was to own a Heaven-Devouring Worm and become the supreme being in the path of Gu.

"Wow, that would be amazing!" Ye Chen praised.

"Hee hee!" Fang Ruolan was still secretly delighted.

As long as she could obtain the Heaven-Devouring Worm, even if she couldn't ascend to be a Land God, she could still become a being capable of challenging a Land God!

"What are you still standing here for, go find your Heaven-Devouring Worm!" Ye Chen urged.
