Chapter 247 A Lot of Treasures

. “Treasure Pavilion! This Liuyun Sect is really quite ostentatious, openly displaying their treasures here?”

Lu Qing muttered to himself, looking up at the tower.

He knew, of course, that while it was called a treasure pavilion, it likely contained only ordinary treasures.

Given the selfish nature of the Liuyun Sect’s two Grand Elders, it was unlikely they would place true treasures there.

But since he was already here, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.

After using his supernatural powers to investigate and confirm that there was nothing dangerous inside, Lu Qing drew his long sword from his Qiankun Yiqi bag and, with a few strokes, slashed through the door before entering.

The treasure pavilion consisted of four levels. Lu Qing scanned the first floor and found only ordinary items, most of which glowed white, with a few faint red ones interspersed.

The items on the first floor might be useful to ordinary warriors, but Lu Qing’s standards had become much higher, and he no longer cared much about them.

So he simply picked a few items that looked appealing, stowed them in his Qiankun Yiqi bag, and ignored the rest as he headed for the second floor.

The items on the second floor were noticeably more valuable, with red-glowing items accounting for almost half.

This time, Lu Qing didn’t hold back, simply collecting all the red-glowing items into his Qiankun Yiqi bag.

On the third floor, not only were there even more red-glowing items, occupying the vast majority, but there were even a few items shimmering with a faint golden glow.

Lu Qing’s face lit up with delight, as he immediately pocketed them all.

“As expected of a major sect, this collection is truly rich.”

After collecting the treasures from the third floor, Lu Qing looked towards the fourth floor, his eyes lit with anticipation.

Golden-glowing items had already appeared on the third floor, so what treasures would be found on this final floor?

Could his luck strike again and he’d find another purple-glowing treasure?

With anticipation, Lu Qing entered the fourth floor of the treasure pavilion

, which also marked the final floor.

This level was heavily guarded, with a heavy iron gate blocking the entrance, but this proved no obstacle for Lu Qing.

The long sword in his hand was unparalleled in its sharpness, and with a few casual strokes, he shattered the iron gate. He

then kicked it open and stepped inside.

This fourth floor, already at the top of the treasure pavilion, was not spacious, and the collection was not extensive.

But good things are always more valuable for their quality than for their quantity.

Standing on the fourth floor, Lu Qing took in the dozens of items displayed on the shelves before him, his breathing becoming heavier.

A golden light emanated from all the items before him, a golden aura of supernatural power.

Some of the golden light was so intense it seemed to be condensing into substance.

On one, he could even faintly detect a barely perceptible shimmer of purple.

“As expected of a major sect with a nearly millennium of heritage, this heritage is truly profound,”

Lu Qing exhaled softly, sighing in admiration.

He stepped forward, his gaze immediately fixed on an object shimmering in a rich golden light, tinged with a faint purple hue.

It was a fist-sized piece of white iron ore, its surface coated in a faint layer of frost.

As Lu Qing gazed intently, several notes soon floated out.

[Nine Nether Cold Iron: A unique iron ore born from the deep seas of the Far North, containing Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid.]

[Nine Nether Cold Iron is one of the finest materials for crafting ice-based magic swords and is extremely rare.]

[Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, born from the deep seas of the North, is formed from billions of tons of seawater, compressed and condensed over countless years to produce the purest cold evil energy.]

[Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid is the ultimate aid for practitioners of both ice and water energies.]

…

“Nine Nether Cold Iron, and Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid!”

After reading the several messages, Lu Qing’s eyes lit up with surprise.

Because these two items are recorded in the Lihuo Sect’s heritage, they are rare and high-grade refining materials.

The Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, in particular, is extremely useful for practitioners of ice and water.

“I have always been unsure about Xiaoyan’s path of cultivation, but with this Nine Nether Ice Spirit Liquid, it will be much easier.”

Lu Qing was overjoyed.

Xiaoyan had once unexpectedly activated her icy skin and bones after consuming the Earth Spirit Fluid, giving her a unique advantage in the cultivation of the Way of Ice and Water.

He hadn’t yet fully decided on Xiaoyan’s path to cultivation.

But now, with the Nine Nether Ice Spirit Fluid, he instantly had several plans in mind.

Reaching out to pick up the Nine Nether Cold Iron, a wisp of frost suddenly appeared on Lu Qing’s hand, rapidly spreading along his wrist. The bone-chilling chill was so intense that it felt as if his body was barely enduring.

“It’s truly an extremely cold object! Even with such restraint, it can still emit such a terrifying chill.”

Lu Qing thought, and the Earth Spirit Pearl in his brow acupoint trembled slightly, instantly dispelling the chill.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder.

According to the records of the Lihuo Sect’s tradition, the material of the Nine Nether Cold Iron was extremely unique, and most of its coldness was contained within it.

Unless deliberately channeled, the chill within it rarely escapes.

Just now, Lu Qing hadn’t channeled it, merely touching it lightly, yet he felt such a chill.

It’s easy to imagine how terrifying the chill within it truly is.

Yet, the temperature within the fourth-floor treasure chamber remained relatively unchanged. It was truly miraculous.

It was a pity that the Liuyun Sect didn’t understand how to utilize this rare treasure. Otherwise

, if they could refine this Nine Nether Cold Iron into a magical sword, it would be far more powerful than the tattered Blood Soul Banner.

After admiring it for a while, Lu Qing stored the Nine Nether Cold Iron in his Qiankun Yiqi bag and looked at the other items.

His gaze fell on another object shimmering with a rich golden glow.

It was a pair of short-handled hammers, each about half a meter long, with a head the size of a pumpkin, dark and profound, seemingly absorbing the gaze.

[Black Gold Hammers: Divine weapons forged from the exotic iron Black Gold.]

[They are incredibly heavy, each hammer weighing a thousand pounds, making them difficult to wield without divine power.] 】

【Forged by the forging master, Ou Yegu. 】

…

Wow!

Lu Qing couldn’t help but jump in surprise when he saw the notes clearly.

He hadn’t expected these dark black hammers to be made of the legendary black gold.

Black gold has always been precious, so precious is the saying that ten ounces of gold are worth one ounce of black gold.

This means that one ounce of black gold is worth ten ounces of gold.

Each of these short hammers weighs one thousand pounds, which adds up to two thousand pounds.

Converted to gold, that’s twenty thousand pounds.

Using these weapons is like wielding two mountains of gold to smash someone down.

Of course, Lu Qing wasn’t too interested in gold or silver.

He was more concerned with the fact that these black gold hammers were divine-level heavy hammers.

He was somewhat relieved that Mo Zhen hadn’t brought these two hammers with him.

Otherwise, with the power contained in Mo Zhen’s blood demon body, coupled with these heavy hammers,

Lu Qing would have had a difficult time dealing with him.

“Good stuff, I’ll take it too.”

Lu Qing took off the pair of black gold hammers, weighed them a few times, and surprisingly felt that they were quite handy. Satisfied, he put them into the Qiankun Yiqi bag.

Then, he turned his attention to the other items.
