Expedition

The next day when he went out for his last treatment with Ninger, she brought many cultivation techniques from her family . Shen Yue looked at them and his Library form a semi-perfect cultivation technique with only a few faults and he wrote it down while Ninger was watching him in puzzlement.

"Ninger, I got this cultivation technique that might be suitable for you. Since I don't need it, I will give it to you".

NInger took a look at what Shen Yue gave to her and found that the technique was better than most high-level techniques from her family. She was surprised how Shen Yue could get this type technique which is her family specialty and also why needed to look at those low level techniques. But she decided to not ask and accept it since it could really help speed up her cultivation.

"Thank you, Shen Yue. My illness is completely cured because of you. I can now cultivate freely. You have given me a lot of help during these few days. If there is something you need, please let me know. I will do my best to repay you the favor." She seemed very serious while she said her thanks.

Shen Yue accepted her thanks and went back home. The expedition is expected to set out tomorrow. He needed to prepare by bringing necessary items. He decided to bring some gold rank guards as in the story. In the story, he brought them to deal with Nie Li but now he still decided to bring them because they could help with those crazy apes and black guild members that will attack the group.

During the trip, Nie Li stayed beside Zi Yun and kept trying to talk to her. Shen Yue decided to follow from behind the group and mostly ignored them. Shen Yue's behavior of staying low in the last few days had surprised a lot of people around him. For them, he had always been arrogant and liked to bully the other small nobles and commoners who seemed to catch his notice. But now he mostly kept to himself without talking to people. His group of guards followed closely behind him.

As in the story, Nie Li fought with an arrogant noble who was jealous of the attention Divine Family young master Chen Lin Jain's friend Lan Rou was paying to Nie Li. Nie Li as expected destroyed and absorbed his soul system shocking everyone in the group.

When the group reached the ruins, the apes attacked. As I let my guards take care of them, Nie Li didn't have a chance to show off his shooting skills because of that and even a lot of people thanked me for bringing those Gold rank guards. Even if I didn't do the fighting myself, I have become the hero in their eyes seeing the danger those apes could have posed to them.

Because the group didn't get separated due to apes, Nie Li didn't get to arrive at an underground cave at the north side of the square with Zi Yun and find the treasures there. The group decided to go to different directions in small groups and I managed to convince Chen Lin Jian to let me search the direction the underground cave is with my guards. Nie Li and the others went the other direction.

As expected Shen Yue found the entrance to the underground tomb and went in with his guards. In there, he found a room full of skeleton corpses and a coffin. After enduring the burning light from the coffin, he found a page of temporal demon spirit book and an abstruse gemstone inside the coffin. He went further into the tomb and found the treasure trove as expected. His guards were ecstatic talking about how rich they were gonna be. He let them take as much as they can since he didn't really have a choice. He found a shining lamp among the treasures and remembered it to be the shadow lamp Nie Li came here for. He quickly grabbed it and put it in his storage ring just as his guards were busy collecting the treasure. The group of Chen Lin Jian dug out the top of cave and came through the stairs as in the story. They were all ecstatic when they found the treasures. Nie Li and the others also came with them. When Chen Lin Jian asked Nie Li to take an item, he looked around but had a disappointed expression. He then looked at Shen Yue with suspicious eyes before just taking a golden sword.

'Haha, Nie Li. I took that shawdow box you were looking for. You can't really accuse me because how are you going to explain how you know about the lamp. I was feeling pretty happy about the fact that I was able to get the upper hand over the mc.'
