Chapter 1643: Chapter 1639: Just One Item

"I can’t fully trust what you’ve said. However, the idea of cooperation is not out of the question. As for the distribution of the treasure, we’ll have to wait and see after getting past." Shen Luo responded with an unchanged expression on his face, looking towards Wu Luo and the other two.

"Agreed," Wu Luo answered promptly upon hearing this.

Shen Luo turned his head toward Nie Caizhu and nodded at her.

Nie Caizhu took out the Kunlun Mirror and, after chanting a few incantations, a light flickered on the mirror with water patterns, and three shadows moved from beneath the trio’s feet, merging into one large area of darkness.

Wu Luo and his two companions looked at the shadow on the ground and immediately showed a troubled expression. After all, they clearly remembered the scene of Yan Lie being consumed by the area of darkness not long ago, which made them feel fearful.

"If you want to avoid the harm from the Divine Destruction Light, this is the only way," Shen Luo said, seeing their reaction.

With slight hesitation, Wu Luo took a step into the range of the shadows.

The Shadow War Leopard and the Profound Fire Divine Steed exchanged glances and, after waiting a little while, also entered the area of darkness.

After entering, the expressions on their faces didn’t change much, but their eyes flickered slightly, clearly feeling the distinct difference brought about by the protection of the Kunlun Mirror.

"Friend Shen has treated us with sincerity, and I will not be vague in return. Everyone, follow me," Wu Luo said, preparing to lead the way.

"There’s no rush. Let’s explore this great hall nearby before anything else," Shen Luo said, pointing to the great hall nearby.

"We’ve already searched that palace; there’s nothing. It would be a waste of time for you..." The Profound Fire Divine Steed rolled its eyes as it spoke.

"Ah, let Brother Shen have a look. Perhaps with their discerning eyes, they might discover some hidden treasures," Wu Luo interrupted it and said.

Shen Luo ignored them and still went up to explore the great hall with Nie Caizhu and the Enlightened Heavenly Beast.

As it turned out, the great hall was indeed empty and they found nothing. It was unclear whether it was originally like that or if Wu Luo and the others had already taken any treasures away.

After coming out of the hall, Shen Luo marked the great hall with a Sword Qi signature and then followed Wu Luo and his companions towards the great hall they had mentioned.

...

Under the guidance of Wu Luo and his companions, Shen Luo and the others quickly arrived in front of the Tianyan Palace door that Wu Luo had mentioned.

Shen Luo stepped forward to examine it and didn’t find anything noticeably different about the Tianyan Palace compared to other places. He then lifted his hand and a burst of mana burst from his palm, striking at the palace gate.

With a "bang," there was a muffled sound!

The palace door shook violently, and a circle of round charm patterns suddenly emerged on the heavy wooden door. Following that, the charm light brightened intensely and a fierce flame burst forth, heading straight for Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Shen Luo quickly retreated to dodge, but the flame pursued him like a shadow.

With a single gesture, he drew a Water Technique hand seal and summoned a water dragon out of thin air. It met the blaze head-on, swallowing it in one gulp.

However, almost instantly, the water dragon evaporated from the high temperature, turning into a cloud of White Fog and vanishing without a trace. The flame, meanwhile, did not slow down at all and continued to charge at him.

Seeing this, Shen Luo took out a Pure Yang Flying Sword, ready to strike at the fiery blaze.

At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed by and raised a hand to block in front of Shen Luo; a bizarre black Rune Array emerged in the palm with Black Light flickering within. It resembled a black hole, engulfing all the flames into it.

After extinguishing the flames, Wu Luo slowly retracted his hand and turned around to explain to Shen Luo:

"The prohibition flame on this gate cannot be extinguished by Water Techniques or fire magic; any external slashing force will trigger a violent explosion, so we can only think of a way to take it in and control it."

"Thank you," said Shen Luo with a frown.

"It’s just a small effort, don’t mind it. Before we begin breaking the seals, we need to first explore the situation inside this Tianyan Palace." Wu Luo waved her hand dismissively and said.

Having said that, she flipped her wrist, and a round compass with a dark hue emerged in her palm.

"Can this thing detect the condition inside the palace?" Shen Luo asked, somewhat doubtful.

"This Witch Spirit compass is particularly sensitive to the Spiritual Power of Magical Artifacts. It can not only detect the number of treasures within the palace, but also reveal their shapes based on the distribution of their Spiritual Power," Wu Luo explained.

As she spoke, she summoned the Shadow War Leopard and the Profound Fire Divine Steed. The three of them cast spells simultaneously, directing their magic spells towards the Witch Spirit compass.

As three beams of Spiritual Light flew in, the Witch Spirit compass began to hover in the air above everyone’s heads.

The needle on the compass spun back and forth, finally pointing towards the great hall.

A beam of light shot out from the needle and landed on the great hall, and a white light pillar about three feet tall rose up on the compass.

Within the white light pillar, ethereal lights flickered, and soon three black shadows emerged.

Shen Luo looked intently and saw a Jade Orchid about a foot long, a Long Handled Battle Saber about three feet long, and a Giant gourd floating within the shadowy figures.

After flickering for a moment, the shadows became faint and disappeared.

The light pillar emanating from the compass also vanished.

Wu Luo reached out to call back the compass into her sleeve, conversed briefly with the Shadow War Leopard, then turned to Shen Luo and said:

"Apart from the Jade Orchid in this great hall, there is also a Magical Treasure Battle Saber and a Magical Treasure Gourd. The quantity is indeed limited. This time, we can only offer Shen Daoist the Jade Orchid. If you do not mind continuing with us afterward, upon finding other treasures, we could let Shen Daoist choose first. How does that sound?"

"Let’s discuss the matters of later at another time. As for these three treasures, besides the Jade Orchid, we also want one more. However, among the remaining two, you can choose first," Shen Luo pondered for a moment before saying.

Upon hearing this, Wu Luo’s brow inadvertently furrowed.

"Such a big appetite, aren’t you afraid of choking yourself? Without us, could you have broken the prohibition on this gate?" the Shadow War Leopard said angrily.

"Without us, you would probably have been unable to resist the Divine Destruction Light and would have had to roll out of the Fifth Layer space in embarrassment by now," countered the Enlightened Heavenly Beast with a cold sneer.

As these words came out, the corners of the eyes of the three people opposite twitched a few times as they subconsciously glanced at the shadows on the ground.

"Brother Shen, we can only offer one Jade Orchid. If necessary, we’ll just call off this deal. If you have a way to break the prohibition and seize the treasure, then we shall part ways here," Wu Luo said, making a gesture to leave.

"One will do, that thing is of great importance to you," Nie Caizhu quickly sent a message to Shen Luo upon seeing this.

"Hold on," Shen Luo suddenly spoke up.

Wu Luo and the others halted and turned back to look at him.

"We’ll take only the Jade Orchid as well, but first, you have to give me the Dan formula for the Taiqing Pill," Shen Luo declared.

Hearing these words, Wu Luo silently cursed inside, but her face showed no sign of displeasure. She smiled readily and said, "That, no problem at all."
