114: Oh dear! My token has fallen.

Elder Sun clapped his hands in praise, a faint smile of relief appearing on his usually stoic face.

"Sect Master, our Tianxuan Sect is destined to flourish!"

Hearing this, Bai Luoli's lips also curled into a faint smile.

"Open the door."

"Yes."

Elder Sun said no more. With a flick of his finger, a beam of spiritual light shot into the heavy Black Iron Gate.

Rumble—

Accompanied by the grating sound of mechanical gears.

The gate slowly opened to both sides.

Revealing a dazzling, radiant, and vast scene within, as if it contained an entire world.

Qin Feng followed behind Bai Luoli and walked inside.

The treasury was a world of its own.

The size of the space far exceeded his imagination.

Rows of massive shelves made of Ten-thousand-year Red Sandalwood and Soul-Nourishing Wood held various Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and Materials, all categorized. Each item glowed with light, emitting astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

Qin Feng's eyes widened.

He felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice granary.

He was so happy he was about to faint.

"The treasures here are divided into four Ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow."

Bai Luoli's voice echoed softly in his ear.

"Heaven-Grade treasures are all treasures that have been passed down through our Tianxuan Sect for tens of thousands of years. They cannot be used unless the Sect faces total destruction."

"Earth-Grade treasures are only eligible to be exchanged by Elders and Peak Masters who have made significant contributions to the Sect."

"Based on your contributions this time, you may choose any three items from the Mystic-Grade and Yellow-Grade treasuries."

As Bai Luoli spoke, she led Qin Feng toward the depths of the treasury.

As she walked, she "enthusiastically" introduced various treasures to Qin Feng.

"Look at this one, the 'Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover,' a High Grade Earth-Grade defensive Magic Treasure. Once activated, it can transform into nine fire dragons for protection. It cannot be broken by anyone below the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

"And this book, the 'Great Yin-Yang Compassion Ode,' a Low Grade Earth-Grade Dual Cultivation Technique. If you can find a good partner to Cultivate with, not only will your cultivation advance greatly, but you can also experience the most extreme pleasures in the world."

When she said the words "extreme pleasures," she intentionally prolonged her voice, making it soft, seductive, and full of a different kind of implication.

Her sharp phoenix eyes also glanced at Qin Feng with a half-smile.

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat!

Good heavens!

This woman really had no good intentions!

She's openly seducing me!

Alarm bells rang in Qin Feng's heart!

On the surface, however, he remained calm, merely putting on an innocent "didn't understand" look.

"Thank you for the guidance, Sect Master."

"However, this Disciple feels that Dual Cultivation Techniques are too harmful to the natural order and are not the way of the Righteous Path."

"This Disciple still prefers some simple and unadorned things."

He spoke with such righteousness.

As if he were a virtuous gentleman who stayed away from women and was solely focused on the Dao.

Hearing this, the playful smile in Bai Luoli's phoenix eyes grew even deeper.

Simple and unadorned?

What a "simple and unadorned."

She wanted to see how long he could keep up the act.

Bai Luoli didn't say anything more.

She just quietly followed behind Qin Feng, watching him choose from the dazzling array of treasures.

Qin Feng wasn't polite either.

While pretending to browse around.

He was frantically calling out to that unreliable System in his mind.

"System! System! Get to work!"

"Stop sleeping! Help me see if there's anything good in here!"

[...]

His mind was dead silent.

That damn System was playing dead again.

Qin Feng cursed inwardly.

Fine.

Relying on mountains, they fall; relying on people, they run.

I still have to rely on myself.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and silently released his vast Divine Sense of the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

He began to meticulously investigate every treasure around him.

Soon.

His gaze was drawn to three items that looked completely unremarkable.

The first item was a pitch-black stone the size of a fist.

It was tossed carelessly into a corner filled with various Ores, covered in dust.

It looked like a piece of ordinary scrap iron Ore.

But Qin Feng felt an extremely weak yet extremely pure power of the stars from that stone!

"Star Iron Mother!"

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat!

This is a supreme divine material for refining a Lifebound Treasure!

Its value even exceeds the vast majority of Earth-Grade Magic Treasures!

To think it was thrown here like trash.

The second item was a Spiritual Plant that had long since dried up and looked like a piece of rotten wood.

It was stuck in a broken jar filled with various withered branches and fallen leaves.

But Qin Feng smelled an extremely familiar fragrance of vegetation, full of life, at the root of that Spiritual Plant!

That was the unique scent of Senior Sister Nianming!

"Nine-Leaf Soul-Returning Grass!"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up instantly!

This is the legendary supreme immortal medicine that can bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bones!

Although this one has dried up.

But as long as it is nourished by the Origin spiritual power of Senior Sister Nianming, who possesses the "Wood Immortal Physique."

It will surely regain its vitality!

At that time, it would be equivalent to having an extra life!

The third item was an ordinary-looking Jade Slip.

It was sandwiched between a pile of yellowed Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, completely unremarkable.

But the moment Qin Feng's Divine Sense swept over it, he felt his Divine Soul tremble uncontrollably!

It was as if the Jade Slip contained some supreme secret technique that shared the same source as his "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength"!

"These three items it is!"

Qin Feng made his decision instantly!

Without any hesitation, he directly took the "scrap iron Ore," the "rotten wood," and the "broken Jade Slip" into his possession.

After doing all this, he turned around and gave Bai Luoli a "simple and honest" smile.

"Sect Master, this Disciple chooses these three items."

Bai Luoli looked at the three "treasures" in his hand, which looked like they had been picked up from a trash heap no matter how one looked at them.

A deep sense of confusion flashed in her sharp phoenix eyes.

What on earth is this kid up to?

Does he really not know his stuff?

Or... just as she was completely puzzled.

She suddenly felt the half phoenix token she had worn at her waist for hundreds of years grow slightly warm.

Immediately following.

"Oh my."

She let out a feigned exclamation of surprise.

The token tied with a red string "accidentally" slipped from her waist.

It fell perfectly right at Qin Feng's feet.

Bai Luoli looked at Qin Feng, and for the first time, a trace of perfectly timed "panic" appeared on her beautiful face, which was usually filled with coldness and majesty.

"My token fell."

She looked at Qin Feng, her sharp phoenix eyes flickering with playfulness and... a glimmer of expectation.

As if saying:

Kid.

Now, it's your turn to help...
