Chapter 247: So Many Treasures
“Treasure Vault,” Lu Qing looked up at the towering structure, murmuring softly, “Liu Yun Zong really does have a bold attitude—daring to display treasures openly like this?”
He knew, of course, that despite the grand name, this vault likely held only ordinary relics. Given the selfish nature of Liu Yun Zong’s two Tai Shang Elders, it was highly unlikely they’d store genuine treasures here.
Still, since he was already here, a quick inspection wouldn’t hurt.
Using his Abilities Probe to confirm the chamber was safe, Lu Qing pulled out his long blade from the Qiankun Yiqi Dai. With a few effortless strokes, he chopped through the door and stepped inside.
The vault consisted of four levels. On the first floor, Lu Qing swept his gaze across the shelves. Most items were mundane—mostly glowing white, with only a few scattered red-glowing pieces, their light faint and dull.
To an ordinary warrior, these might have been valuable, but Lu Qing’s standards had risen far beyond that. He casually picked out a few things that caught his eye, slipped them into the Qiankun Yiqi Dai, and moved on without a second glance.
The second floor showed a marked improvement. Red-glowing items now made up nearly half the collection. This time, Lu Qing didn’t hold back—he collected every single red-glowing object without hesitation.
On the third level, the red glow was even more dominant, covering the majority of the relics. More astonishingly, several items now emitted a faint golden light.
Lu Qing’s eyes lit up with delight. Without delay, he scooped them all into his storage pouch.
“Not bad for a major sect—this collection is truly impressive.”
After securing the third floor’s treasures, Lu Qing turned his gaze toward the fourth and final level, anticipation stirring in his chest.
If the third floor had already produced golden-glowing artifacts, what awaited on this last level?
Could he possibly experience another stroke of luck—perhaps even unearth a Purple Light treasure?
With rising curiosity, he stepped into the fourth level of the Treasure Vault—the very pinnacle of the tower.
The entrance was heavily fortified by a thick iron gate, but that posed no challenge to Lu Qing.
With a single swing of his blade, he severed the gate into splinters. A swift kick sent the wreckage flying, and he stepped through.
The fourth level was compact—small in space, with only a dozen or so items displayed on the shelves. But as the saying went, quality over quantity.
Standing in the dim chamber, Lu Qing’s breath deepened slightly.
Every single item before him glowed with golden Abilities light.
Some of the gold was so dense it seemed almost solid, and among them—faintly, almost imperceptibly—was a trace of purple.
“Truly a sect with a heritage spanning nearly a millennium,” Lu Qing exhaled softly, awestruck. “The depth of their foundation is no joke.”
He stepped forward, his eyes immediately locking onto the most radiant piece—a fist-sized chunk of pale white ore, its surface coated in a delicate frost.
As he stared, several text panels floated into view.
【Jiu You Han Tie: A rare ore born from the deep sea beneath the frozen northlands, containing Jiu You Bing Ling Ye.】
【Jiu You Han Tie is one of the finest materials for crafting ice-element spiritual swords, extremely rare.】
【Jiu You Bing Ling Ye is formed from the purest water vapor, compressed over eons by the crushing pressure of countless ocean tons.】
【Jiu You Bing Ling Ye is an invaluable aid for cultivators specializing in ice and water elements.】
“Jiu You Han Tie… and Jiu You Bing Ling Ye!”
Lu Qing’s eyes widened in surprise.
Both were recorded in the heritage lore of Lihuo Sect—among the most precious materials for forging spiritual weapons. And especially the Jiu You Bing Ling Ye—its value to those cultivating ice and water arts was incalculable.
“Ever since Xiao Yan accidentally awakened her Ice Skin and Jade Bones talent after consuming the Dipulse Spiritual Fluid, her affinity for ice and water cultivation has been exceptional. I’ve been uncertain about her path ever since… but now, it’s clear.”
He felt a surge of joy.
With this Jiu You Bing Ling Ye in hand, he could already envision multiple cultivation strategies for Xiao Yan.
Reaching out, he picked up the Jiu You Han Tie. Instantly, a wave of frost spread across his palm, creeping up his wrist. The icy chill was so intense it threatened to overwhelm his body.
“Truly a substance of extreme cold—so restrained, yet still radiates such deadly frost.”
He focused inward. A subtle tremor in his Brow Qi Cavity, and the Soil Spirit Pearl pulsed gently, neutralizing the cold at once.
Still, he couldn’t help but marvel.
According to the teachings of Li Hua Zong Chuan Cheng, Jiu You Han Tie’s cold was almost entirely contained within its core. Unless actively channeled, the cold rarely escaped.
Yet, mere contact had sent such a shock through him. The sheer depth of its inner cold was unimaginable.
And yet, the chamber’s temperature remained unchanged—no colder, no warmer. That was truly miraculous.
“Shame Liu Yun Zong doesn’t know how to harness this Unique Treasure’s potential. If they’d forged this into a spiritual weapon, it would far surpass that broken Xue Hun Fan.”
After admiring it for a moment, Lu Qing tucked the Jiu You Han Tie into his Qiankun Yiqi Dai.
His gaze shifted to another item glowing with intense golden light.
It was a pair of short-handled war hammers—each about half a meter long, with heads the size of a pumpkin, black and deep, as if they could swallow light itself.
【Wu Jin Zhong Chui: A divine weapon forged from the legendary Strange Iron, Wu Jin.】
【Extremely heavy—each hammer weighs a thousand jin. Only those born with divine strength can wield them.】
【Crafted by the ancient forging master Ou Ye Gu.】
“Holy hell!”
Lu Qing nearly jumped back.
He hadn’t expected these dull, black hammers to be made from Wu Jin—the legendary iron said to be worth ten times its weight in gold.
That meant each hammer, weighing a thousand jin, was worth ten thousand jin of gold. Together, they equaled twenty thousand jin.
Using them was like swinging two mountains of gold.
Of course, Lu Qing didn’t care much for gold or wealth. What mattered was that these were divine-grade war hammers.
He felt a deep sense of relief—thankfully, Mo Zhen hadn’t brought these with him earlier.
Otherwise, with Mo Zhen’s Blood Demon Body and these hammers, subduing him would’ve required far more effort.
“Another treasure secured.”
He lifted the pair, testing their weight. To his surprise, they felt surprisingly balanced—natural in his hands.
With a satisfied nod, he placed them into the Qiankun Yiqi Dai.
Then, he turned to the remaining items.
