Chapter 624 - 15: A Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Storage Bag!
Meanwhile, within a cave mansion in the residential area of the Immortal City,
two elders sat facing each other.
One elder had frosted temples, eyebrows like swords, and eyes that were extremely deep, indicating an extraordinary person!
The other was dressed in a green robe, with prominent cheekbones, a goat-like beard, and eyes filled with a smile, showing a hint of pleading.
This person was indeed True Monarch Feng Yan, the other Nascent Soul Cultivator seeking to exchange for the ’Spirit-Commanding Treasure Reishi.’
Now he was busy working for that third great merit.
"Brother Spirit Crane, I implore you!"
"Without that ’Spirit-Commanding Treasure Reishi,’ my injuries may never recover, not to mention advancing my cultivation, even my lifespan would be greatly diminished!"
True Monarch Feng Yan’s face was full of pleading.
The sword-browed elder pondered deeply and then sighed, nodding:
"Ah, alright, since you’re so sincere, I would seem heartless if I continued to refuse!"
"However, my spirit crane is at a breakthrough point and cannot leave; wait for three days, then I will accompany you to True Monarch Qianchuan,"
"and I’ll let you have that great merit then!"
"Thank you very much!" True Monarch Feng Yan rejoiced,
three days is nothing; by then, that spirit medicine will be his, and his injuries can recover completely!
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Xun followed True Monarch Qianchuan, winding their way
to an unobtrusive side hall; it wasn’t secretive but extremely secure!
A faint layer of translucent light shield surrounded it, with golden runes flickering above, quite extraordinary.
Zhou Xun, being a Tier Three Top-Grade Array Master with excellent vision,
immediately recognized that this was at least a Tier Four Middle-Grade restriction, even a Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator would struggle to break through in a short time.
"We’ve arrived!"
True Monarch Qianchuan smiled slightly, flipping his palm to reveal a token!
Muttering a spell, he raised the token and tapped it against the light shield,
sending out a red spirit light that struck the shield, causing ripples to spread.
Immediately, a human-sized gap appeared.
"Come, follow me inside!"
True Monarch Qianchuan said simply and proceeded inside first, with Zhou Xun following.
The large door slowly opened.
The Secret Vault was dimly lit, with rows of shelves filled with various precious magical treasures and elixirs, all covered in restrictions.
With Zhou Xun’s array skills, he naturally knew these restriction shields were linked to the grand array,
and without the method to解除 them, forcibly breaking through would incur an attack from the entire grand array.
"This Secret Vault is indeed tight, even a Great Cultivator would find it challenging to forcefully break through!" Zhou Xun marveled.
"You are correct, Brother Zhou; although the restrictions in this Secret Vault are only Tier Four Middle-Grade, they excel in trapping people. Unless one is like Alliance Leader Yu, escape in a short time is impossible!" True Monarch Qianchuan nodded slightly.
Then, he approached a shelf and pointed at a jade box floating inside:
"Inside is indeed the ’Spirit-Commanding Treasure Reishi’!"
"I will ask you one last time, Daoist Zhou, are you certain you want to exchange for this spirit medicine? It’s not too late to change your mind now!"
"I’m sure I want this item!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"Alright, I will get it for you!" True Monarch Qianchuan said, taking out the Merit Recording Jade Scroll, forming hand signs, and pointing at the scroll.
The scroll dimmed at the parts recording Zhou Xun’s three great merits,
then a golden rune flew out, slowly landing on the light shield outside the jade box.
To Zhou Xun’s amazement,
the light shield dissolved, and the jade box gently fell onto the shelf.
"The Jade Scroll is linked with this restriction; without消除 the merits on the scroll, even I cannot破解 it!"
Seeing Zhou Xun’s surprised look, True Monarch Qianchuan explained!
"The combination of arrays and magical artifacts, such skill is truly miraculous; could this Jade Scroll be the legendary Array Device?" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but ask with interest.
"Indeed, this array was personally refined by True Monarch Celestial Star!"
True Monarch Celestial Star, Zhou Xun naturally knew, the first in array formations in the Central Continent for nearly ten thousand years; the teleportation arrays in various Immortal Cities in the Central Continent are mostly set up by him!
"So it’s this predecessor!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"Speaking of which, True Monarch Celestial Star was also the first City Lord of our Sea Suppression Immortal City; unfortunately, despite being such a Powerful Cultivator, in the end, he could not突破 to Divinity Transformation!"
"When this predecessor’s lifespan was nearing its end, he left here, seeking a place in the South Sea to sit in meditation!"
"It’s said that he left behind his life’s传承 there!"
"Back then, there was a craze to find his洞府, but to this day, no one has found it!" True Monarch Qianchuan said.
"I see!" Zhou Xun nodded,
then quickly turned his gaze to the jade box!
"Almost forgot the main thing; this is the spirit medicine you requested!" True Monarch Qianchuan smiled, picking up the jade box and handing it to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun carefully took it, opened it to see a reishi emitting a strange glow lying inside,
though not large, only three inches tall, its spirit charm was enough to prove its identity!
"Indeed, it’s the Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Medicine ’Spirit-Commanding Treasure Reishi’!"
Zhou Xun nodded, then收 it into his Storage Bag for safekeeping!
"This matter owes much to Brother Fang; otherwise, this item wouldn’t have been obtained so smoothly!"
Zhou Xun sincerely expressed gratitude.
"Haha, you are an Honored Guest Elder of our Immortal City; naturally, I must assist one of our own!"
"However, True Monarch Feng Yan is also seeking this spirit medicine; he is a vengeful person, and now you’ve gotten this item ahead of him,"
