Chapter 202: Chapter 197: Jade Cauldron Immortal Crystal

"Seems like Qingqiu has indeed met some unexpected fate, that even this little creature’s impure bloodline can shimmer with the radiance of treasures," sighed the mythical beast, shaking its head.

In its eyes, the bloodline of this little fox was shimmering with the brilliance that only rare treasures emit. This suggests that the Qingqiu bloodline might be nearly extinct; a trace of Qingqiu blood has become a treasure, otherwise, it wouldn’t emit such brilliance in its eyes.

After hearing the mythical beast’s words, Liang Yi pondered thoughtfully. These few sentences were quite informative, at least confirming the origin of the little fox’s bloodline.

However, just when Liang Yi intended to ask something else, the mythical beast grew impatient.

"Stop dawdling, if you’re entering then hurry up, otherwise I’m going back to sleep."

This fox, not seen for countless years, had jumped out, stirring some of his memories, which made him talk a bit more; otherwise, he wouldn’t bother saying much.

"Please calm down, Lord Pixiu," Wu Yangshuo saw that the spirit of the Pixiu was getting impatient and hurried forward to soothe it.

"Is it really a Pixiu?" Liang Yi was not too surprised; he had almost guessed it after seeing its face.

Despite its current arrogance, in the later stages of his past life, it seemed to have been dragged out and brutally beaten by his darkened junior sister for some reason. The miserable screams were heard clearly by all the players in Qingliang City.

A Pixiu is a mythical creature that turns misfortune into fortune, with the power to ward off evil spirits and protect homes, capable of attracting wealth and gathering treasures, possessing exceptional divine skills, and capable of immortality.

It was precisely because of this that it was retained by the Grand Ancestor of the Immortal Dynasty to guard the national Treasure Vault. The outer part of the Treasure Vault had only a fragment of the Pixiu’s spirit light transformed, while the real Pixiu was guarding the most critical part inside the Treasure Vault.

"Stand on this Array, and it will naturally transport you inside the Treasure Vault."

As soon as Pixiu’s words fell, a pale blue circular Array with intertwining runes, mysterious and unfathomable, emerged on the ground in front of Liang Yi.

"The Treasure Vault is located in a highly confidential Secret Realm, known only to His Majesty himself. Every entry and exit requires the use of the Array for transportation; the door you see is merely for show."

Noticing the confusion in Liang Yi’s eyes, Wu Yangshuo carefully explained.

"I see."

In his past life, players had indeed completed exceedingly challenging missions issued by the Immortal Dynasty, earning the reward of choosing any Treasure from the Treasure Vault. However, recording functions were prohibited there; people could only listen to that player bragging about the treasures inside.

As information about the Immortal Dynasty’s Treasure Vault flashed through Liang Yi’s mind, he also stepped onto the Array.

The little fox subconsciously wanted to follow, but was restrained on the spot by an invisible force as the voice of Pixiu rang beside the three.

"The order permits only Liang Yi to enter; others wait here."

Although the little fox was somewhat frustrated, it understood the reasons and could only watch Liang Yi disappear with comforting looks in his eyes.

After Liang Yi disappeared through the Array, Pixiu’s huge face also slowly sank into the vermilion gate and vanished.

"Well, let’s just wait here; it usually doesn’t take too long unless he’s dazzled by the treasures inside the Vault."

Wu Yangshuo casually called a maid to fetch two chairs for them, and comfortable sat in front of the door to wait.

There were too many trivial matters in the Mystic Bureau, just the chance to sneak in some rest.

As a dizzying feeling washed over him, when Liang Yi opened his eyes again, he was inside an immensely large palace.

Jeweled splendor overwhelmed him the moment he entered, the shining golden light nearly blinding him, though he couldn’t see any specific magical treasures, only pure colored walls standing all around.

Liang Yi couldn’t ascertain how vast the palace was; with his sight, he could only describe it as seeing no ends.

Moreover, Liang Yi also noticed that this splendid, dazzling hall utilized the principle of ’Mustard Seed into Mount Meru,’ implying the actual space might be much larger than what he saw.

Countless Arrays divided the entire hall into many large zones and countless smaller areas, which would take at least ten days to half a month to investigate completely.

Countless exotic treasures, neatly suspended behind the pure walls, were faintly visible, with their dazzling light resembling the Milky Way crammed into the hall.

Liang Yi felt as if he had entered a giant’s world, where walking was not enough; he even needed to use tunneling light to travel.

Since teaching himself, the Escape Skill that he rarely used finally came in handy. Because this place was extremely rich with the forces of the Five Elements, Liang Yi directly chose the Great Five Elements Escape Skill.

However, just as Liang Yi was preparing to invest time and effort to investigate one by one, a golden ingot-shaped phantom emerged from the Void in front of him.

"Young man, greetings! I am the spirit of the Mystic Bureau’s Treasure Vault of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty. You can find any item recorded in the treasury of the Immortal Dynasty here."

After the phantom appeared, the Spiritual Power in the vault immediately converged into its body, molding an ingot-shaped body out of solidified Spiritual Power. It even had a nose and eyes on the ingot, which looked amusingly absurd.

Liang Yi somewhat understood; this thing was somewhat like the blue elf from Youdao Mountain. Only, Youdao Mountain had a Mountain Spirit, and this ingot was a Treasure Vault spirit?

However, it seemed that the blue elf from Youdao Mountain was no match for this Treasure Vault spirit, considering the blue elf couldn’t even talk.

"What kinds of treasures are there in the vault?" Liang Yi decided to start by selecting the types of treasures first, then choose more specifically from there.

"The major categories currently in the treasury include Magical Treasure, Daoist Skill, Sword Technique, Spiritual Medicine, Exotic Treasure, Elixir, and more..." The Treasure Vault spirit rattled off in quick succession, listing the categories over many breaths, giving Liang Yi an overwhelming headache.

"Since you, young man, only have access to the outer part of the treasury, you can only choose from Third Grade items and below," the Treasure Vault spirit added conscientiously.

"Third Grade and below?"

Liang Yi bowed his head in contemplation, pondering what he needed most now.

He wasn’t lacking in things like Daoist Skills and Sword Techniques, and the Daoist Skills from the Immortal Dynasty treasury might not even be as numerous as those on his second system list; with his master around, there was no need for Sword Techniques.

"Um... do you have Autonomous Divine Iron?"

"Ding, none!"

"How about Unfixed Secret Jade?"

"Sorry, also none."

"And what about Moon-Hugged Celestial Silk?"

"Still none."

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

"You have neither this nor that, and you call yourself the spirit of the Treasure Vault?"

Liang Yi was enraged, grabbing the so-called Treasure Vault spirit and staring at it intensely.

What kind of thing is this, they don’t have anything I need! Still a Treasury Spirit? More like a spirit of poverty!

These items were core materials necessary from his previous life for crafting the Golden Immortal Sword. He had hoped to save some effort in finding them, but this Treasure Vault spirit was so disappointing.

The Vault spirit, terrified by Liang Yi’s gaze, almost dissipated from the form. It was aggrieved.

What you’re asking for are either First-grade immortal materials or Second-grade immortal iron, each an incredibly rare treasure seen once in many thousands of years; even if the vault has them, you’re not eligible to access them.

"Alas, I give up. How about Jade Cauldron Immortal Crystals then? You must have those, right?"

Liang Yi sighed in resignation and relaxed his grip. He decided to settle for less; Jade Cauldron Immortal Crystals were Third Grade materials, and if they weren’t available, he might just lose his temper.

"Ding! We have them, we have them! We do have those!"

The Treasure Vault spirit seemed even more excited than Liang Yi. If the reputation of the Immortal Dynasty treasury being devoid of items spread, he might as well disperse himself.
