Chapter 1000: Opening the Treasure Chest
Chapter 1000: Opening the Treasure Chest
In Bingzhou, at the training grounds of Beifeng, Lu Haikong waved his hand, effortlessly opening two legendary-tier treasure chests.
Lu Haikong, accustomed to feasting on Mythical-tier treasure chests, had become somewhat indifferent to the rewards of legendary chests.
However, after half a year without opening any chests and a similar period without indulging in such treasures, Lu Haikong was curious to see what he might obtain from these legendary chests.
As the two chests opened, Lu Haikong swiftly scanned them with his eyes. In the instant the contents descended from the chests, he flashed forward, extending his hand to collect the two items that appeared.
Even before appraising them, Lu Haikong's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light, filled with delight at the sight of the items.
This was indeed a fortunate start, as it was rare for two legendary chests to yield two pieces of equipment, and even rarer for both items to surpass the legendary tier in quality.
Both items were weapons. One was a dagger about thirty centimeters long, with a design that was somewhat eerie. The dagger was entirely black, emanating a ghostly aura that was chilling to behold. Merely gazing upon it instilled a sense of fear for no apparent reason.
What was even more intriguing was that the dagger's ghostly aura possessed a faint consciousness, brimming with aggression. As soon as it emerged and was grasped by Lu Haikong, it attempted to attack him, akin to an ant challenging an elephant. Lu Haikong's purple inner strength flashed, instantly dispersing the ghostly aura, suppressing it completely.
Lu Haikong was cautious, however, and merely dispersed the ghostly aura without destroying the dagger. Moreover, being a (Pseudo-Mythical) item, it was not easily breakable.
In contrast, the other item in Lu Haikong's hand seemed much calmer. It was a longsword, its blade a verdant green, emanating a gentle and life-giving force, which was quite unexpected for a killing weapon. It was undoubtedly an exceptional piece of equipment.
As Lu Haikong gazed at the two weapons before him, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately appraised them.
Bloodweeper Demon Blade
Equipment Grade: Legendary (Pseudo-Mythical)
Equipment Description: Forged from ghostly stone and soaked in human blood for a decade, this Demon Armament is finally complete.
Ps: This blade possesses an extremely strong demonic nature and has immense growth potential. Taming it requires a resilient spirit.
Equipment Effect: Visible upon recognition of the owner.
Recognition Requirement: Strength 90, cultivate Yin-attribute martial arts.
Jade Willow Sword
Equipment Grade: Legendary (Pseudo-Mythical)
Equipment Description: A Dao Armament crafted from a hundred-year-old willow wood using a special Dao technique. Due to an unexpected occurrence during the forging process, this Dao Armament is considered a failure. Despite this, it still possesses incredible abilities.
Ps: Must not be tainted by human blood or impurities.
Equipment Effect: Visible upon recognition of the owner.
Recognition Requirement: Politics 90, cultivate Wood-attribute Dao techniques.
Both items were exceptional, and their attributes indicated that their owners had already been chosen.
After admiring the two pieces of equipment in his hands, Lu Haikong casually handed them to Chen Ping.
"One is for you, and the other is for Yueying. By the way, your item has specific requirements for use. I'll give you three months to meet them; otherwise, I'll take it back!"
As Lu Haikong passed the equipment to Chen Ping, he couldn't help but offer some encouragement.
However, it was unlikely that Lu Haikong would get his Jade Willow Sword back.
Over the past half-year, Chen Ping had made significant progress, with his Politics attribute reaching 89 some time ago. Given his current foundation, it was estimated that he would break through within one or two months.
As Lu Haikong's first Dao Cultivation disciple to reach the 90th level, it was only natural that Lu Haikong would not let him strive alone. With resources at his disposal, breaking through to the next level was almost a guaranteed success.
After handing over the two pieces of equipment to Chen Ping, Lu Haikong once again indulged in his treasure chest opening spree.
The two Legendary Chests rewarded him with two (Pseudo-Mythical) pieces of equipment, a fantastic start that heightened his anticipation for the upcoming five Mythical-tier chests.
However, despite his eagerness, Lu Haikong had to exercise patience as he only opened these chests once every half a year. He wasn't going to rush and open them all at once.
After all, there were only five chests, and once opened, they would be gone. This was a rare moment of relaxation and enjoyment, so Lu Haikong decided to savor each chest one by one.
But it seemed that Lu Haikong's approach of opening them one by one wasn't particularly lucky. After slowly opening the first two chests, he obtained two bottles of Divine Might Pills.
Lu Haikong was taken aback. In his opinion, the Divine Might Pills were mere consolation prizes in the Mythical Chests.
With two Legendary Chests yielding (Pseudo-Mythical) level weapons, it was unexpected for the Mythical-tier chests to produce only two bottles of Divine Might Pills. Was this still considered a promising start?
In the 6-9-1-9-1-8 version, the first two chests seemed to foreshadow a rollercoaster of luck.
Lu Haikong finally understood the unpredictability of luck. It wasn't as simple as a good start guaranteeing a continuous streak of good fortune. There might be a bright beginning, but it could also turn dark and continue on a downward spiral.
The two Mythical Chests before him and the two bottles of Divine Might Pills seemed to portend a streak of bad luck. Lu Haikong gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and opened the remaining three Mythical-tier chests in one go.
With a wave of his hand, three streaks of light flashed.
The opening of Mythical Chests was always a spectacular sight, and Lu Haikong had always enjoyed it.
However, at this moment, Lu Haikong had no desire to appreciate the spectacle. Before the streaks of light could fully illuminate, he sensed a massive shadow looming.
"Something big is coming!"
Lu Haikong reacted instantly, flashing away with Chen Ping, escaping the shadow's grasp.
As Lu Haikong and Chen Ping vanished, a colossal object appeared where they had just been.
When Lu Haikong saw the massive figure, he was momentarily stunned.
Earlier, when the shadow emerged, Lu Haikong had focused on fleeing and hadn't paid close attention to the nature of the giant entity. Assuming it was one of the Four Holy Beasts, an Automaton, he was taken aback upon seeing its true form.
This massive object wasn't one of the Four Holy Beasts; it was a gigantic wooden house.
The house was square, measuring about ten meters on each side. It had no walls, and all four sides were intricately carved with countless square holes, resembling a giant beehive.
Anyone with claustrophobia would surely feel their scalp tingle at the sight of this wooden house.
Fortunately, Lu Haikong didn't suffer from claustrophobia, and he was more curious about the purpose of this peculiar object than its appearance.
After a brief moment of surprise, Lu Haikong regained his composure. His eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately appraised the wooden house.
Upon seeing the attributes of the house, Lu Haikong was completely dumbfounded.
"This thing... is extraordinary!"
