Chapter 735: Chapter 473: Master Gu Huo’s Treasure (Double Monthly Ticket Request) (Part 3)
He held the Taia Sword and followed the steps into the secret chamber.
No one!
Only a chamber identical to the one in his memory appeared before him!
As he entered, the pearls embedded in the walls of the chamber gradually lit up, revealing rows of wooden shelves. The most eye-catching were the piles of gold and silver jewelry and books.
On the ground were various objects of different designs, each looking quite extraordinary.
Open chests on the ground contained bottles for pills, while armor and weapons hung on the walls, each clearly remarkable.
However, upon careful comparison, it turned out that nearly half of the items in the chamber were missing compared to his memories!
Especially the pills in the chests and the objects on the shelves that appeared to be Suppressing Objects had diminished the most!
"It seems that Master Gu Huo is indeed not dead yet. After I counterattacked him, he must have been seriously injured but resurrected again, and then came here to take many things. Damned, they were clearly mine..."
Zhao Douan smacked his lips but, thinking that letting the Demon Path fatten before the slaughter might yield greater benefits, felt less annoyed.
"I don’t recognize many things, but Zhenbao is well-informed and is sure to know them."
Zhao Douan, without any hesitation, like a rat burrowing into a treasure mountain, selected precious items and stuffed them into his scroll space, especially the pills, completely emptying it!
His actions were swift, almost like a whirlwind.
In no time, the treasury was cleaned out, leaving only a few low-value items that took up space, which he didn’t take.
"The Demon Path is such a good person, this escape journey has consumed too much. Thanks to Gu Huo for the emergency air drop." Zhao Douan was a bit touched.
He had once rushed to send himself Soul Power, and now delivered a treasury. If someone told him the old man was actually a spy sent by the court, he might believe it.
"Righteous!"
Zhao Douan, still unsatisfied, searched around the chamber once more when he suddenly discovered a hidden door inside.
"Creak—"
Pushing open the hidden door, a small courtyard enclosed on all sides by walls appeared in front of him!
"What is this..."
The courtyard was very small, with only a pool in the middle, springing with warm water, while in one corner of the pool was rooted a small black and white twisted tree.
The leaves of the tree seemed to have a jade-like texture, with fiery red hues flowing within.
Zhao Douan froze, suddenly recalling the jade leaf the Demon Path took from the treasury, able to withstand the attack of the Divine.
"According to Pei Niannu, it was Kunshan Jade...so is this tree also some kind of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?"
...
Baihua Village, within the Liu Family’s small house.
Xu Zhenguan was pacing back and forth anxiously in the chamber, the orange flame of the candle holder flickered on the table and cast her shadow onto the wall.
The Empress’s face revealed her worry. Suddenly, she turned her head toward the backyard. As the window opened, Zhao Douan leaped inside.
"How did it go?" Xu Zhenguan scrutinized him up and down. Upon seeing he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately inquired.
Zhao Douan tore off the black cloth covering his face, walked to the table, grabbed the teapot, and swallowed a stomachful of water. His eyes gleaming, he placed the silver scroll on the table: "Returned with a full load..."
He quickly recounted his adventure of acquiring the treasures, leaving Xu Zhenguan surprised and bewildered, looking at the various pills, Magic Artifacts, and strange objects piled on the table, her gaze was both delighted and perplexed.
"Unfortunately...that tree is rooted in the spring water, hard to get out." Zhao Douan expressed regret as he recounted the Black and White Double Trees.
Upon hearing this, the Empress’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Black and White Double Trees?"
"Your Majesty knows about this?" Zhao Douan was curious.
Xu Zhenguan’s eyes flashed with uncommon joy on this journey. She deeply looked at Zhao Douan, who was confused, and said: "Your chance to advance to the Worldly Realm has arrived!"
