Since he got the location of where the gold was from the people in the bar, Lin Fan didn’t waste any time.
The next morning, he headed to where they said that they found the gold.
With his cultivation, he easily made his way there without anyone noticing him.
Of course, there were others that were here as well.
These were people that had been searching in this area the entire time and there were some familiar faces that Lin Fan recognized. These were people that had been in the bar at the same time as him.
They had taken note of the things that he had gotten those people to confess when he made them drunk. They came to this same place because they hoped that they could find gold just like them.
It was too bad for them that finding gold wasn’t that easy in the first place.
If everyone was able to find gold that easily, wouldn’t there have been far more success stories in town?
At the same time, there was someone here that they could never compare to.
While flying in the sky, Lin Fan looked down at the mortals that were combing around the area looking for gold. The methods that they used were methods for mortals, so they weren’t effective at all.
Lin Fan wasn’t going to do the same as them.
Instead, he just used his spiritual sense to sweep the area.
With his spiritual sense as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, he could easily sweep across this entire area with just a single thought. At the same time, no one would be able to sense his spiritual sense.
Even the few cultivators that were here.
They were only in the Qi Gathering Realm, they weren’t even close to matching Lin Fan. Let alone being able to sense his spiritual sense, they weren’t even able to see Lin Fan when he was floating above them.
The illusion spell that he cast was just too high level for them to see anything.
As he swept over the land with his spiritual sense, Lin Fan was able to quite easily find all the traces of gold that were present here. However, it didn’t seem like he found what he was looking for based on the look on his face.
It even seemed like he was disappointed with what he found.
That was because all of the gold that was here was nothing more than ordinary gold.
Lin Fan thought that since this gold had appeared all of a sudden, there would be something special about it. But it seemed that there wasn’t a trace of spiritual energy coming from the gold.
At the same time though, it didn’t seem like he was giving up.

That was because Lin Fan actually felt a trace of spiritual energy in the air with his spiritual sense. It was faint, but he could tell that there was something that was releasing spiritual energy.
After a while, he finally noticed that it was coming from the river that ran through this place.
That was the place that the man with the bag of gold dust had found all that gold dust. It certainly wasn’t easy to get all that gold dust out of the water at the level of a mortal, it took a lot of patience and effort.
So to a certain extent, that man with the bag of gold dust could be admired.
However, that wasn’t important right now.
Once he noticed the spiritual energy coming from the river, Lin Fan focused his attention on the river to find where it was coming from. When he sent his spiritual sense into the river, he found that the spiritual energy wasn’t coming from the river itself, but a place that was further upstream.
Thinking about the distribution of the gold along the river, Lin Fan started to understand what this was.
The gold dust in the river and the scattering of pieces of gold along the riverbed. It was clear that whatever the source of this gold was, it was coming from up the river.
At the same time, it seemed that once the gold flowed down the river to a certain extent, the gold lost its spiritual energy to the river. It could be said that the spiritual energy was being washed away by the river.
When he looked further into the river, Lin Fan found that there were several species of fish that were absorbing the spiritual energy and becoming stronger. If he had come a bit later, perhaps someone would have noticed based on the change in the fish. Your next journey awaits at freewebnovel
Once they noticed the change in the fish, they would have noticed the unusual increase in spiritual energy in the river.
It was a good thing that Lin Fan had come to this place before everyone else.
That meant that he would be able to claim whatever was causing this phenomenon for himself.
Something that could create this kind of phenomenon definitely wouldn’t be a normal thing.
He was actually looking forward to seeing what it was that was in this place.
Since Lin Fan determined that the source of all this was upstream, that was where he went.
As he continued upstream, he could sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the river were getting stronger. It reached a point where he was surprised that no one had noticed this before.
After all, it was at the point where anyone that could sense spiritual energy would have noticed the strange concentration of spiritual energy in the river. It was much higher than the normal concentration of spiritual energy in this dukedom.
Or else if the dukedom had this level of spiritual energy in the air, then it would have been invaded and taken over by another country or sect a long time ago. It was only because of the lack of spiritual energy in this place that the stronger powers left this place alone.
It seemed that there really was a treasure here if it was able to increase the spiritual energy in the river by this much.
At the same time, Lin Fan thought to himself…
"The Ye Family must have discovered this place a long time ago and put measures in place so that no one noticed this place."
That was the only explanation of why no one had noticed this place before this that Lin Fan could think of. And now, Ye Qing Huan just handed this place over to him without a single thing in return.
Was this a sign that whatever was here wasn’t that good or was it a sign of her favour towards him?
Regardless of what it was, it was up to Lin Fan to obtain this thing first.
Putting these thoughts aside, Lin Fan continued up the river until he came to the source of it. This was a cave that the river was flowing out of and from that cave, there was a wave of spiritual energy coming from it.
This spiritual energy clearly wasn’t normal…
And looking closely, Lin Fan could see that there were talismans that were placed on the sides of the cave. These talismans came together to form an array and with his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to see just what that array was.
It was an array that kept others from finding out about this place.
Unless one reached a certain level of cultivation, they wouldn’t be able to actually sense the spiritual energy that came from this cave.
Though Lin Fan had no idea just what kind of array this was, he didn’t doubt his Appraisal Eyes.
But there was a part of him that wondered just how this array and these talismans worked. After all, he could use these in the Love Sect and even in the dungeon to hide some things.
Only it didn’t seem like his Appraisal Eyes wanted to give him that information.
So Lin Fan could only continue into the cave and find the source of the spiritual energy.
When he dived under the water and entered the cave, Lin Fan was surprised to find that there was a lot of gold that was hidden under the water. But that wasn’t the only thing special about the gold.
It wasn’t just that there was a bunch of gold dust and gold chunks that were here, it was as if there was something that had turned the dirt and rocks under the water into gold. The gold that was here seemed like it had naturally formed over the years, but Lin Fan could tell that this wasn’t the case.
It was clear that there was something that had turned this place into gold.
After all, he could still make out the original landscape.
At the same time, he could feel the spiritual energy coming from the gold that was under the water, so the gold that was here wasn’t just normal gold. It was a special kind of gold that was formed with spiritual energy.
It made him more and more curious of what was at the end of the cave.
When Lin Fan finished diving through the water and reached the cave itself, he wasn’t surprised to see that there was more gold.
After seeing what was under the water, he already knew that whatever was here had the ability to turn things into gold.
This was even more evident by how even the stalactites and stalagmites had been turned into gold. They weren’t just covered in gold, but rather even the center had been turned into gold.
Whatever was here had a very strong ability to turn things into gold.
